Chapter 188: I can stay (4)
Deathbringer swallowed his frustration on the temple roof.
This was because he was somewhat uncomfortable with the fact that he was lounging around in the temple while the Inquisitor and Berserk were helping the demon knight.
If I had known something like that would have happened, I would have followed him.
Deathbringer once again swallowed his discomfort at making an irreversible choice.
It was also annoying.
“Inquisitor Daniel, are you going to his house?”
“Ah… yes.”
However, the most annoying thing is not the person who caused it, but the person who caused it.
Deathbringer quietly stood up when he heard the name he had memorized. Burns covering half of his face and rat-colored hair.
That guy was right earlier.
“I think your family will like it. “It’s been a long time since you passed away.”
“…I wish so.”
“yes?”
“no. see you tommorow.”
It’s natural, but I don’t intend to harm it. Isn’t this an incident that has already ended and could well happen–I’m sorry to say that to the Demon Knight–but it’s an incident.
But did the demon knight get hurt? Or were there innocent victims?
That’s not it either. Therefore, the Deathbringer could not bear to harm that Inquisitor. I really don’t like it, but I didn’t dare do that.
Not only would it be against his beliefs, but it would also be against the oath he swore at Emmett’s grave.
“…It’s been a while since I wanted you to move.”
But I also don’t want to just ignore it and ignore it. It was a kind of heartache.
There were many people in the past who went to great lengths to not acknowledge the Demon Knight, but he was the first person to do it.
“Slap the back of your head.”
Is that it? I will not back down as I have made a promise to Saenim, but trying to hear an answer that never comes back was quite difficult.
Even though I’m not thinking about giving up, I’m saying I’m feeling a bit stressed. To the point where I don’t want to miss it when I have something to vent about.
So he prayed.
I wish that damn bastard would be given some room to catch up. I don’t want you to get hurt either, so please at least give me an excuse to trip over him.
“Is Danny here?”
“Daniel! “How long has it been since then?”
“Haha… long time no see…”
“brother! It’s a two-handed sword! A two-handed sword is a better deal!”
“Oh, Suits has been around for a long time, huh? Why a two-handed sword…?”
“Ah, today an adventurer showed Suit a sword. But the adventurer’s sword is longer than the one you use…” “
…The adventurer used a long sword?”
“brother! “It’s a two-handed sword!”
It was a somewhat unreasonable wish.
It wasn’t a grudge worthy of being poured out on someone who was only strict with the devil and his followers and kind to his family.
“Yes. “It was much longer than yours…about this much?”
“That’s… fascinating. “It’s hard to use a sword like that, so adventurers won’t use it often.”
“so?”
“Brother, it’s a two-handed sword!”
“I guess he’s a skilled adventurer.”
“Well, it did look unusual. I have two hair colors and the clothes I wear…”
“That’s right. I only saw it for a moment… but it was really amazing….”
“Aunt and uncle, wait a minute. “Hair color… what?”
“huh? “I said I have two hair colors?”
“…What color is it?”
“hmm. “One side was black and the other side was gray.”
“…You damn devil!”
But in the end, it wasn’t a waste of time.
Even the Deathbringer himself didn’t know that this would happen.
“How dare you!”
“…Danny?”
“How dare my family!”
Daniel’s eyes turned red from the rising anger. The back of my head was extremely numb.
“Wait a minute Danny. Why are you doing that…!”
“Daniel?”
“Your aunt and uncle are here with your suit! And until I return, never, ever open the door to anyone! Especially for that half-haired adventurer!”
Cancer was hard to believe, but it was only a few hours ago that I decided to believe it.
It was barely suppressed anger and contempt because the representative said that other people were not devils and asked them to throw away their prejudices and intolerance, wondering if they would really have devils as their companions.
But then you stab me in the back like this? And in the form of touching his family?
It is unacceptable.
It is absolutely unacceptable.
After all, demons cannot be trusted.
Daniel turned around, surrendering himself to the rising anger. Crash. The old armor that I had not yet taken off rattled.
“Where are you going, brother?”
“Daniel!”
“brother??”
Of course, his family was taken aback by his sudden behavior. But I couldn’t help it. Right now, he didn’t even have time to explain the situation to them.
It’s not that I didn’t want to spend time with my family, it’s that I wanted to kill that damn devil as quickly as possible.
Clap, clap, clap.
But unfortunately, his walking stopped soon.
“Where are you going?”
“…?”
It was because someone blocked his path.
“Please get out of the way. “I have a place to go.”
I can’t feel any magical energy from the other person. Daniel reflexively thought.
One of the reasons was that the other person was mistaken for an ordinary person because his or her attire was obscured by the sunset as he or she had their back against the sunset.
“That’s right. “Where are you going?”
But you soon realize it. “Where are you going?” That sentence contained more than just curiosity.
The same goes for the clothes hidden in the shadows. The dark green cape, which looks like it is woven from nettles, is ideal for hiding something.
The same goes for the boots that are hanging on, pretending not to be anything, and the weapons on the forearms that are raised to raise the collar.
“…you.”
Not a civilian.
Perhaps not even a simple adventurer.
As soon as Daniel realized this, he spread his legs apart and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Although it is rare, this type of attack is not something that has never occurred, so there is no hesitation in making a judgment.
“Please reveal your identity. “Who are you asking me that?”
Is this someone who has a grudge against me? Or are you from the back alleys who absolutely hate temples? An assassin instigated by a relative of the felon who caught and killed him? Or… the most obvious and common one: a devil follower?
“I saw it earlier, but you don’t even remember?”
My deep thoughts were cut off.
I saw it earlier. when? Most of the afternoon was spent in the penance room, so the only possibility is the morning.
“In the temple.”
Temple. The moment those words were given, Daniel’s brain went into overdrive. But I saw a person dressed in dark clothes like that somewhere in the Tang Choi Temple… Ah.
“…the representative’s colleague.”
“That’s such a terrible memory. “I don’t know if I can do the tracking work.”
“It’s my fault for not recognizing it sooner. However, I think I have the right to ask why your colleague is here and why he blocked my path.”
Although the sarcastic style was very annoying, Daniel had a good example.
After all, isn’t there a reason for everything the representative has placed by your side? Even if it looks suspicious and seems to be showing a strange hostility toward him.
If you are a colleague of the deputy.
If the person chosen by the representative is…
is everything really right?
“If you can’t answer, you don’t have to answer. Instead, please get out of the way. “I have somewhere to go right away.”
The vicar said it was not the devil, and the being whom the bishop also protected visited his family while he was in the penitential room.
As if mocking. Or as if threatening.
This is the result of their faith and trust.
But is it different for the author? Just by looking at it, he belongs to the shadowy world, is a colleague of the deputy, and must have been with the devil.
“So where are you going?”
“I told you to get out of the way.”
“Are all Heresy Questioners like this? “I don’t understand.”
“If you don’t get out of the way and don’t answer the reason.”
“Saenim at least had the attitude of telling me what I didn’t know.”
“I will pass by even if I am forced to do so.”
It may be a blasphemous imagination. There may be a misunderstanding about the other person.
But Daniel decided to ignore all those possibilities. I couldn’t lose my family again.
Everything that contains demonic energy. And all who defend them deserve to die.
“Are you persecuting civilians now?”
“I definitely warned you.”
He walked forward with a strong attitude. Of course, I was just nervous for the unexpected and did not draw my weapon in advance.
If the opponent doesn’t attack, he won’t attack either.
“The knight is not a devil.”
However, the moment he was about to pass the other person, the other person said something like that. A fire sparkled in Daniel’s eyes.
“What do you know!”
“well. “I don’t know you, but I know you.”
Okay!
Meanwhile, the opponent blocked his path with agile movements.
Did they read his mind that he would respond if attacked? There was no contact.
“Move. “I have to go kill the devil!”
“I hate Deb’s show. “Unless you break your desire to go to Knight Nari, I will never get out of the way.”
“I said get out of the way!”
“Ebebebebe.”
This trash…!
Daniel turned his body to force a breakthrough. The weapon was still not lifted. I thought that the opponent might want him to express his intention to attack first.
“I can’t let you go.”
However, every time he moved, the opponent also moved accordingly. The reaction speed was so fast that it seemed difficult to beat him.
“Get out of the way!”
“You say you don’t like it?”
“Move!”
“Oh, try it.”
“Mangjong to be killed…!”
Opening a path with force is like giving justification to the opponent, and speed is no match for the opponent.
Daniel became even more excited.
“under. Are swearing uniform in temples? “I call you the same as Saenim.”
“It’s your last chance, get out of the way! If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll classify you as a heretic too!”
In the end, he picked up the last card. At the same time, the other person’s expression turned cold.
“Am I a heretic?”
“If the one who embraces the devil is not a heretic, then what is a heretic?”
“Hey. “You’re also talented at saying the right things wrong.”
“It’s your last chance. “Stop protecting the devil and step away.”
“How about building a wall around a normal ear hole?”
One of the opponent’s hands disappeared through the cape.
“Aside from that, you can stop calling me a devil, right?”
“Why choose punishment….”
“Because Nari herself is enough to treat Nari like a devil.”
And the cape shook slightly.
come. Daniel raised his arms either instinctively or as a learned action. This is why things like rocks or daggers usually fly.
Sigh!
But it wasn’t a dagger that flew.
『Sometimes, something else comes flying by. Something like sand, ash powder, or even poison powder. So, it would be better to roll over rather than block your face.』
As the advice of his senior passed through his mind, white powder covered his eyes and nose.
“Cock, knock!”
Even though I cover my face with my forearm, I cough like this. He rolled to the side and blinked his eyelids rapidly in preparation for any unexpected situation.
The physiological tears moistened my eyes and my vision returned. Fortunately, it wasn’t poison.
“Please eat X.”
Separately, the other person with his middle finger raised entered the clearer vision. It’s a bonus to back away as if you know you’re going to get hit.
Blood appeared on Daniel’s neck.
“I will begin execution in the name of God!”
The slogans shouted at the start of the heresy trial were brief. Only then did the opponent start running away.
Daniel, who escaped Garu’s wake, also chased after him.
“Stand there you scum!”
“If it were you, would you stand?”
That’s the kind of person whose mouth and tongue will float if you drop them in water.
Daniel put strength on his feet, trying to keep his wits about him in response to the gently scratching words. When I strengthened my body with divine power, my speed was roughly correct.
Crack, thump, thump.
Clap, clank, clank.
Two footsteps echoed side by side across the street at night.
“stop!”
“You say you don’t like it?”
“Damn devil follower…!”
“Fuck. You’re not a demon follower, are you? “It makes people angry.”
“If not, what is the meaning of what you are doing now?”
Daniel also turned his body as he saw the person slipping into the alley. It’s a bonus to have your sword drawn and held up as if to cover your body.
Sigh!
“—! ─!!”
As something black passed through my field of vision, powder spread out once again. “Kolok kolok.” If you look at the unique smell of ash, it also looks like ash powder. I was glad it wasn’t poison, but something about it annoyed me.
Whisper thump.
“The devil… I don’t even know what kind of existence he is!”
“Ha, I think the number of demons I’ve seen is greater than the number of demons you’ve seen.”
Daniel twisted his body, stirring the air. The guy who jumped over him by kicking the wall and landed on the street again is saying something like that.
“If you know, if you know, why do you do such a thing!”
“I know. “Don’t you think I’m doing this because I know you too well, you idiot?”
“…!”
“The devil knight is not a devil. Absolutely.”
“Even if you are possessed by the devil, you are still possessed!”
“Ha, if I’m possessed by the devil, then you must be completely blinded by your beliefs.”
But the eyes that said those words were so hard that Daniel became even more angry.
If the author is not truly a devil follower, it is simply a bond and trust towards a colleague.
This is trust that is extended without even knowing that one will be betrayed by falling for the devil’s hypocrisy simply because one does not know the devil’s true nature!
“You don’t know. “How far the devil can go!”
After all, all demons must die. All the devils who would betray even that upright faith. entire!
“It seems to me that you don’t know anything, Debsho? “How human can shine even when consumed by the devil.”
“It’s all lies! “That light is all fake!”
“under. “If it’s all a lie, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”
“You don’t know the devil!”
“And you don’t know humans!”
Everyone must die.
“What kind of person am I, how am I holding on, and how am I feeling as I stand on this earth!”
The devil who killed his parents and all the seniors who guided him.
“You don’t know the person who despises the devil so much that he even treats himself as evil and wants to cut to the sword and kill the devil without even caring about his own life!”
must die
“You’re the one who really doesn’t know—!”
“My parents died while their young voices cried out for help.”
When emotions reach their limit, will peace actually come?
Daniel opened his mouth clearly and with clarity of reason.
“help. Please help me. “He died after following the young voice that said that.”
I could clearly picture the day I went out for my first training to become an official Heretic Questioner and at the same time lost my parents.
“Could you even imagine? “How could such a high-ranking devil appear in a place that is not even the front line, where bands of bandits appear more often than devils?”
“kid? Where can I hear the child’s voice?』
『This is the middle of the forest…?』
『Listen carefully. Over there…』
『Is this real…?』
『Just in case you don’t know… Danny, you are here. Carl, you stay with Danny too.
『Yes.』
“You… don’t know the devil. “I don’t know how far proper demons, not low-level demons like goblins or gnoll zombies, can go.”
『…Can’t we go together?』
『No. Instead, I’ll be back soon…』
『Hey Danny. Are you already disobeying orders? You can’t just say it’s family.』
『Okay then. These are all decisions with reasons. Let’s wait quietly?』
『…Yes.』
“The devil is cruel, wicked, and abominable.”
『…Artillery explosion?』
『…That’s the direction Mom and Dad went.』
『I can’t do it. Danny you’re hiding nearby! I’ll just take a quick look at the situation!』
『No! I want to go too! Please let me go too!』
『No! Hide!』
『…But!』
『This is an order given to an apprentice as an official interrogator! But there is no such thing!』
“There are no exceptions for any devil, it is more than you can imagine!”
『Aaagh!』
『Aaagh!』
『Run… run away…!』
“The only answer to the devil is to kill him.”
『Run away…there’s one more?』
