Episode 056
When Horus came here, he heard from his apostle Kim Young-ah that the tattoo symbolized the god of the other world, Yamyeonggoe.
‘Apostate… .’
It was a term referring to those who had wrong beliefs despite the strength of the gods of the other world who first descended on this world during the Advent.
Those who believe in the gods of the other world and reject the gods of human history.
Those who wish for social chaos and the world to be destroyed.
Those who believe that destruction is the new salvation.
Until now, their power was not large so we ignored it, but if it is true that they really killed Hephaestus.
‘We have to subdue it.’
A force that could kill a god cannot be left unattended.
Horus knew better than anyone the horrors of the Advent.
Because he also fought against monsters at the vanguard along with the apostles.
‘That shouldn’t happen again.’
Horus frowned at the disturbing tattoos on the backs of the apostate’s hands.
Just right. Just right.
He clicked his beak to show his discomfort.
How dare you reveal yourself as an apostate?
It seemed like he was looked down upon quite a bit.
“You’re arrogant.”
At first, I planned to kill everyone on sight and save only the monster to get information.
But he came by himself.
There must be an intention in mind.
Rather than personal feelings, a confrontation where the honor of the entire Egyptian mythology was at stake took priority.
I didn’t want to ruin the clues I found on my own due to my personal feelings.
‘We must win against Ares.’
The content of the confrontation is to successfully complete the investigation into Hephaestus’ death.
It was a simple competition in which the one who brought in more practical information before the next meeting won.
“But out of Pharaoh’s generosity, I will at least listen to the reason you came.”
“thank you. “Pharaoh.”
The insolent apostate handed the envelope in his hand to Radames, the first apostle of Horus.
“What is this?”
“This is a letter from our religious leader to Pharaoh.”
Horus nodded towards Radames.
Radames took the envelope and handed it to Horus.
Horus read the letter said to have been sent by the leader of the Nightmare.
I skipped over the boring and long introduction.
The question was about whether the gods had sealed the Abyss of the East Sea, which Jormungand had been closing.
‘This is where Ares went to investigate.’
Horus tapped the chair with his finger and looked down at the apostate.
The fact that they were asking themselves meant that information was not shared even among fellow apostates.
‘If I do it well, I can use it.’
Horus, who was sharpening his beak, opened his mouth.
“The gods took care of it. Ares has been dispatched for post-processing. Now it’s your turn.”
At those words, the apostate who fell down in front of him took out a piece of paper from his bosom and held it out.
“What is that?”
“Please also check this letter. The leader said that if Horus says that the gods themselves took care of it, give it to him.”
Horus confirmed the letter the apostate had taken out with his own eyes.
There was no trace of magic.
No suspicious energy was detected.
“This is our leader’s suggestion to Horus.”
“proposal?”
be impertinent.
How dare a human being make an offer to the great Egyptian god under the strong sun.
Horus suppressed the desire to throw magic at that arrogance right now, and instead waved his hand.
This time, the Second Apostle Nikolai Igor received a letter from the apostate and handed it to Horus.
It was the same introduction as before.
A way to regain the prestige of the sun god?
How dare the corrupted god of this world mention the sacred sun?
‘bouncer’
He saw the spell described later by the cult leader.
Hieroglyphs used by ancient Egyptian gods that modern humans cannot even read.
‘… This.’
Horus, who was more familiar with magic than anyone else, could recognize him at a glance.
It was a fairly outstanding level spell that condensed various types of magic into one.
Horus’ eyes quickly read the spell.
His left eye, filled with the moon’s countless wisdom, simulated the completion of this spell.
The sight of a huge sun coming towards the caster is like… .
“hmm… .”
It was not a lie to say that the sun would descend on the earth.
“Are you confident that you can gain the power of the sun with this?”
“Only the religious leader knows the details.”
“… “You’re arrogant.”
But it was a very interesting proposal.
It was a magic and spell that even the greatest wizard in Egypt had never seen before.
It was an interesting approach.
The new magic could not help but stimulate the intellectual curiosity of Horus, the strongest wizard.
‘He is the sun god… .’
But more than that, the words that he could regain his prestige as a sun god kept ringing in my ears.
Unless Ra, the sun god and god of Egyptian mythology, falls, Horus will not be able to regain the title of sun god that was taken away by Ra.
He weighed the battle against Ares, which staked the pride of the gods, and a way to regain the prestige of the sun god.
Should we subdue the apostate right now and find clues to Hephaestus’ death?
Or do you talk to them and find a way to regain the title of sun god?
‘If these guys are lying to me… .’
He had the power to eliminate and subdue them all.
The more I thought about it, the more it wasn’t a bad idea, and it was a proposal that was worth the money.
“Then let me ask you one thing too.”
Horus, who had remained silent for a long time, opened his beak.
“Are you the ones who killed Hephaestus?”
“The teacher will give you the answer.”
“You’re arrogant.”
“I am just a believer so I know little. sorry.”
Horus shook his head.
I didn’t have any expectations from Lee Jae in the first place.
He’s just an envoy bringing a letter.
“I get it. But it would be bad for me to visit him. Tell this to your cult leader. Come here and find me by tomorrow. Then I will talk to you directly.”
At those words, the apostles lined up shouted in astonishment.
“Horus!”
“Conversing with apostates!”
“I decided. Everyone knows that.”
How could an apostle disobey the words of God?
Everyone fell silent at Horus’ declaration.
“I’ll give it a day. “If you don’t come by tomorrow, there will be no conversation.”
It would be nice to talk about it at least once.
Just once.
However, what came out of the mouth of the reaper who bowed his head was far from Horus’s expectations.
“I’m sorry, but I dare say this. “The magic written in the letter must be tested at a location prepared by our church.”
“You’re arrogant. “Are you going to criticize my words?”
“sorry. “There is nothing we can do to achieve what the Sun God wants.”
Horus narrowed his eyes and looked at the Reaper.
For an envoy sent by apostates, he was imposing.
Do you really have any faith in it?
These are people who know magic that even they themselves do not know, called great wizards.
It’s clear they’re hiding something… .
‘Even though I know it’s a trap, they make me have no choice but to go.’
Horus clicked his tongue.
The spell revealed that the cheeky Shinigami’s words were partly true.
Simply denying and belittling them was not something a great wizard should do.
Great wizards who explore curiosity and pioneer unknown fields always take risks and open new horizons.
-Is there any guarantee that it is not a trap?
Horus couldn’t get the words out of his mouth.
It was because of the majesty of God.
God must be omnipotent and omnipotent and must not always be afraid of failure.
That was Horus’s mindset and motto, and it was the driving force that made him always a god.
So even though I know it’s a trap, I have to face it.
“I get it. “Do you mean I can go to the address at the end of this letter?”
“you’re right.”
Horus pointed to the address written below the spell.
“Your religious leader really likes trouble.”
The Shinigami simply bowed his head in silence and worshiped.
“Go away. “Go straight to this address tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
After confirming that the Reaper, who bowed his head, had left their hideout, Horus spoke to the apostles.
“There may be some kind of trap. So everyone, make sure to prepare thoroughly. “We will use all our detection magic to destroy everything they have prepared.”
“All right.”
“And Kim Young-ah.”
“Yes, Horus.”
“You should check the exact location of this address.”
“yes. “I’ll find out soon.”
I don’t know what kind of trap they have prepared, but I don’t think they will fall for it easily.
Horus promised.
* * *
After leaving Horus’ base, I returned to our car, erasing the apostate’s stomach tattoo.
Suyeon Lee and Jormungand welcomed me there.
-You came out safer than I thought.
When I came to meet Horus disguised as an apostate, Jormungand, who was wiggling on Lee Su-yeon’s head, stuck out his tongue and greeted me.
“No matter how much I think about it, this was reckless.”
Lee Soo-yeon got angry.
She was the one who convinced me several times that there was another way.
But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no better way.
By chance, I met a traitor from the Night Monster who was trying to contact the Horus Guild, and was able to intercept their plan in the middle.
Once you have a useful weapon in your hands, it would be foolish to just throw it away.
‘If I didn’t take advantage of this incident, Horus and the Nightmare would have come into contact somehow.’
That’s why we scheduled our meeting time for tomorrow morning.
We will finish Horus first before the Nightmare notices.
“It worked out well, so let’s stop talking about the past.”
“… Phew, okay. “Nothing good comes from denying something that has already ended well.”
“Now Sooyeon’s role has become important.”
“My role?”
She blinked.
“of course. “I gave you Arachne’s pouch.”
“ah… .”
“We will set a trap with that. “It’s a trap that no wizard can detect.”
I smiled at Lee Su-yeon.
“Even though I’m a bit attractive, those looks in my eyes are burdensome.”
“Don’t be weird, let’s get ready right away. “We don’t have much time.”
