RUST -653

In general, the brainwashing of the psychic world would be lifted when the caster died. Unfortunately, however, the brainwashing done by the saintess was not like that.

Slosh-

Suddenly, Eclipse suppressed the feeling that she had become a squishy eel. She remembered the first time she cut through the building, when she had seemed like a living creature.

‘Mental world?’

Was this the power of someone other than that saint? The power to change touch? Or the power to interfere with the senses?

Among the people rushing towards the floor, I saw one person. A woman on her knees, in a praying posture, spewing hatred towards me.

It was that woman.

Maru threw away Eclipse, who felt like a slippery eel, and jumped forward to avoid the people rushing at him.

Eclipse, which had been flying around as if wriggling, landed on the chest of a woman who was kneeling and radiating her power.

Turuk-

With the sound of the bread dough being cut, the blade that had been curved and crooked began to look normal. The mental realm was definitely in danger. The ability that had only affected the sense of touch had now affected the sense of sight as well, just before death.

Maru pulled Eclipse out of the chest of the collapsed woman who couldn’t even scream and ran away.

‘Just sweep it away?’

Thump thump thump

A small heart beating in warning. Maru avoided the throbbing and jumped to avoid the encirclement. He then started running along the wall.

“Chloe!!!”

“Kill him!”

“From the saint!”

Maru was calm at the warning of his heart.

No matter how fanatic they are, they are all equal before a sword. People who rush in blindly even after seeing someone being cut to pieces with a single sword were definitely strange.

If they had all rushed in, there were those who didn’t step forward like a woman who had used her power while kneeling. Maru didn’t miss that.

‘Let’s start by clearing out those behind us.’

“Catch him!”

“Turn sideways!”

“Drive it that way!”

The eyes of the woman who was pushing into my body, not even afraid of the blade, were already dead.

Thump-

Self-destruct?

Maru jumped, stepping on the chair next to him. He felt an ominous feeling as he jumped.

!

As if aiming to jump, an invisible force grabbed Maru, who was floating in the air. It was psychic power.

If my body was on the ground, I would have been able to shake it off with my strength, but I was helpless in the air.

“Got it!”

“Shoot!”

Tudadadang!

I thought shooting at a target suspended in the air would be a piece of cake, but unfortunately, the target was on the floor.

Ting! Boom! Tidding!

Those who were anxious at the sight of Maru blocking the bullets by laying down Eclipse shouted.

“Shoot them all at once.”

“Go down. Come closer!”

“Get closer and shoot!”

You should have surrounded them first, rather than shooting them hastily. You should have shot them simultaneously, before shooting them indiscriminately.

Woooooooooo-

Eclipse, which had eaten bullet rice, began to vibrate.

As the floor swept in all directions with blades of sonic waves drawn from the super-vibration, scratch marks like those of a beast began to appear on the ceiling and walls.

Thud-thud- the ceiling finish fell to the floor in an instant. The walls and pillars that had begun to dent began to crumble as they could no longer support themselves.

“What about the saint?”

“What happened to the saint?”

“Shoot!”

“We must kill him now!”

As the ceiling collapsed, sending down a tangle of crumpled air conditioners, bundles of wires, and broken lights, the psychic powers that had held the floor together were dissipated.

‘Does it depend on sight?’

Maybe it was because my concentration was disrupted.

“Crazy! What the hell is that kid?”

“You stopped the bullet!”

“The ceiling is falling!”

“where are you?”

“Where is that kid?”

“Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights first!”

One side of the ceiling collapsed, knocking out electricity to half the building.

Blinking lights.

The dust rose.

As the enemies tried to take advantage of the confusion and cut them down in one breath, my heart warned me, thump thump thump.

Suddenly, I remembered the woman who had rushed at me as if she was going to blow herself up.

What if it bursts when I cut it?

What if some of them explode when you die?

He replied that it might be because of his heightened senses.

Tsk-

Although the vital points were blocked, they could not stop all the bullets coming.

The good news is that the Ripper suit has good bulletproofing. The bad news is that while it blocks bullets, it doesn’t completely absorb the impact.

It seemed like a cracked bone because it was hard to put strength into my legs. Maru injected a rapid healing drug. A hot air passed through my entire body.

“What about the saint?”

“One person is not enough.”

“We need more sacrifices.”

I’ve been looking for the Saintess who was cut off since a while ago. ‘Sacrifice?’ If I use a sacrifice, is there a way to save the Saintess who was cut off diagonally?

Maru did not ignore that absurd sound. He used the thick dust to turn to the side.

‘The stealth module is···.’

The Ripper suit’s stealth capabilities were still non-functional. The HUD wasn’t working, nor were other sensors.

There were people who could render electronic equipment useless. And they were selective. There were also people who could cause radio interference. Everyone here had to be considered to have powers.

The enemies were divided into three groups. The group holding the dismembered saint, the group standing still in the rear, and the group searching the floor.

If I use the skill ‘Seal’, wouldn’t I be able to neutralize it in one go?

How much should I use?

What if there is someone with the ability to resist living, or someone with the ability to self-destruct cannot stand living and dies, then self-destructs?

It may have been a blessing that I didn’t write about life because I felt bad.

No matter how much he thought about it, capturing it alive was difficult. Maru decided to shake off his regrets and catch it in one go.

Kwajik- As we started to carve the pillars into shapes, the enemies reacted.

“It’s over there.”

“Shoot!”

Kwajik- Kwaduk-

The floor was cut out of the walls and pillars and a staircase led up to the upper floor.

“Stop! It’s a lure!”

“Send the martyrs first.”

“From moment to eternity!”

“For paradise!”

People with dead eyes began to climb the stairs along the floor. Their cloudy eyes could see traces of movement. The marks of scratching on the walls and floor were obvious.

“It’s over there.”

“I’ll go first.”

Maru, who stepped back to avoid the woman who was rushing towards him, pulled out his gun. The Rsh-revolver, 12.7mm caliber, was aimed at the head of the woman who was rushing towards him like crazy.

A woman who doesn’t stop even when a gun is pointed at her. There was no warning.

bang!

As soon as the 12.7mm bullet blew off her head, the woman’s torso burst like a balloon. Bam- Red drops of blood burst and melted everywhere.

As the melting blood seeped into the crack made by the knife, a crack opened with red foam. Crunch- The floor split open as if an earthquake had occurred.

?

“It’s a trap!”

“damage!”

But it was too late. The targets who had climbed up the straight corridor had nowhere to run.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those who had been following the woman from afar began to explode as they could not withstand the 12.7mm bullets.

Bam! Kwaaaaang! Puhwaaaaak!

Melting blood drops, powerful explosions, spreading poison gas, and other forms of explosion. The explosion range was small, but the explosive power could not be ignored.

Kwarrrrrrung-

The second floor, or rather the first floor ceiling, collapsed with the sound of a cut wall and pillars crashing down, shaped like a knife sheath.

“Eww!”

“Saint!”

Kkujijijik- Kkuadduk-

The HUD came back online after a sound of something being crushed and crushed.

[System Restart]

[System failure recovery]

[No malfunction.]

A hollow second floor appeared on the HUD screen.

Compared to the number of people rescued in France, the number of cultists who came together to create a Holy France was extremely small.

However, the problem was that the ratio of awakened people was different. Almost 70% to 80% of awakened people were cult members.

“Could it be that you controlled it with your psychic powers?”

“There were a lot of strange things about it.”

Considering that he kept rushing at me even after killing the psychic, it was hard to believe that he was simply brainwashed.

“That could be true. Wasn’t that the religion that was controversial in the past like that?”

“The incident where things went well even though the leader died?”

“Yeah. That one.”

“Religion is truly difficult.”

“It’s difficult. But honestly speaking, this incident is partly your fault.”

“My fault?”

Maru was embarrassed by Ki-sun’s words.

“Why is it my fault that people are crazy?”

“It’s true that we created the HOLLY church but didn’t use it properly.”

“So. Are you saying that because I didn’t give strength to the HOLLY church and kept my distance, the cult started to flourish?”

“Freedom of religion is good. I understand that you don’t like the feeling of being a cult leader. But as PD Ajae said, religion is absolutely necessary in a situation like this.”

Most people who suffer from PTSD were saved just before they died.

Even if it wasn’t PTSD, there were many people who looked fine on the outside but were empty on the inside. Ki-sun judged that leaving such people alone was the core of this situation.

HOLLY If the church had filled that void, would something like this have happened? If there was a sacred floor, would saints and cult leaders have been able to dig in?

I didn’t think it was a coincidence. If Maru had been in the empty space, this wouldn’t have happened. In fact, there was no problem as long as Maru was uncomfortable.

From long ago, crows, wolves, rats, and seagulls thought of Maru as a god. Maru also acknowledged it, and the HOLLY believers thought of Maru as a god, a god’s agent, a savior who carries out God’s will, etc.

“Recall the incident of the tribute rat shortage. What happened when you left it alone? The same goes for people. Why do you think there are so many cults in the end times? If you leave it alone because it’s uncomfortable and you don’t like it, it will all end up in a sea of ​​blood like it is now.”

“······.”

“Isn’t it a waste?”

“······.”

“What a pity.” It seemed to me that Ki-soon had changed. If it were like before, it would have been “What a pity.” Instead of “What a pity.” Ki-soon shrugged his shoulders at Maru’s gaze.

“It’s a shame in many ways. If you had firmly established your position religiously, you would have believed in me, not a saint. Perhaps even the woman who called herself a saint would have believed in you.”

“······.”

No matter what anyone says, it was Maru and the Holy Kingdom who saved them from hell. Maru made a bitter expression at Gi-sun’s words.

“I told you once before. God is dangerous.”

God was dangerous. Maru was neither omnipotent nor omniscient. He was a mortal being who could be shot in the head. He had overwhelming powers in the area of ​​slaughtering living beings, but that was all.

“You’re so reliable that animals believe you’re the god of death. So, I think you could be effective on people as well, to the extent of an apostle of death.”

“Seriously, don’t be so hard on yourself.”

Ki-sun narrowed her eyes and answered Maru’s nagging.

“Seriously. Really. Truly. I believe it.”

“What the hell. The HOLLY cultists think of me as their savior, and you’re openly drafting me as the God of Death? An Apostle of Death? Are you serious about that?”

“Oh. Seriously. Religious issues. If we don’t sort this out, it’s going to keep on causing trouble.”

“······.”

“Rather, it would be more effective to establish the HOLLY Church as the official state religion and establish an Inquisition.”

“······.”

Just as the field mice created an inquisitor to catch and kill the mice that flew by, if the HOLLY Church had been established as the state religion and had an inquisitor, wouldn’t it have been possible to strike down the saints and such before their power grew?

“Looking at this situation, we also need a saint.”

“Can you make something like this in a jiffy just because you need a saint?”

“That’s not true, but there are enough talented people to become saints.”

“······.”

“Huh? Huh? A saint?”

Bounce rocking along to the nurse’s cries.

“Me?”

“Big- yeah.”

Maru had no choice but to admit it.

As Ki-sun said, she had enough qualities to become a great saint.

In many ways.
