Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 167

Episode 167 〈 Inquisitor 〉

Lawrence, who had been kidnapped by a devil worshiper, looked around.

Where am I?

It’s in an unknown cave.

Visibility is also dark.

My feet were wet and strange sounds could be heard from all directions.

Lawrence picked up a stone that had fallen on the floor.

It was a substitute for a weapon.

He remembered what happened before he came here.

I visited the village chief and then learned that some of the villagers were devil worshipers.

At that moment, something hit my neck and I lost consciousness.

By the time I came to my senses, I was trapped in an unknown cave.

I took a deep breath and raised my senses as much as possible.

‘Honey, just wait a moment. ‘I’ll get out alive somehow.’

I turned my gaze forward in a wide space.

I see a bright light.

torchlight? It’s a torch!

Now that I think about it, it seems like there are people who were dragged in just like me.

Because at the center of the devil worshipers was a man tied up naked.

Lawrence quickly ran to where the light was.

And his body stiffened.

The torch rolled to the floor.

It illuminates the surrounding dark cave.

A place full of bones and flesh.

All kinds of weapons and equipment were scattered around, but there were no people in sight.

What you see is a corpse.

There were only dead people crying in fear and monsters devouring them.

“…Old Ghoul.”

Dead people with hideous, melted faces, long arms and legs, and sharp fingernails and toenails.

Ghouls are eating the intestines of a corpse.

The corpse was writhing and its eyes were rolling.

I became a zombie.

‘Oh my god…. Is this place like hell!’

When Lawrence stepped back, an old bone caught in his foot and broke.

A small sound echoed in the quiet cave.

The ghouls flinched.

I turned my head and glared at Lawrence.

“iced coffee! Oh Goddess Gaia. “Please save me!”

Lawrence shouted, turned his back and ran away.

The ghouls are chasing you.

Lawrence gasped and closed his eyes tightly.

‘Just wait a little bit honey, you’ll survive somehow!’

***

I rode in the Franz family’s carriage.

We passed through numerous villages and crossed the border.

I passed through the Kingdom of Rom, which was in war but was gradually becoming more stable.

We passed Airans and headed northwest.

I woke up to the sound of a clattering carriage and opened the window.

Outside the window, the Red Cross is escorting people on horseback.

“Thank you for coming here.”

I turned my gaze and looked across.

Saeran is sitting and the twins on either side of her are asleep, using her lap as a pillow.

Saeran stroked the heads of the two twins and looked at me.

“Don’t worry too much about the Prosperous Dharma Kingdom. Because my mother remains. He, Brother Luan, and Sister Hilda will lead us well. Oh, and my father too.”

Saeran mentioned White at the end.

“I’m not really worried. Rather, it’s good for me because it’s an opportunity to cool off a little.”

I leaned back against the carriage.

My troubled mind was cooling down through the short trip.

“But are you okay? Even if I leave the escort alone? “He was quite stubborn.”

Saeran’s words reminded me of Charlotte.

I tried to stop her from following me.

For her part, she wanted to take charge of military training with Harmon.

“Because she has other work to do.”

Saeran smiled pleasantly and pointed to the window with his finger.

“We’re here now, Allen. “It’s the Duchy of Ariana.”

I turned my gaze to the window.

Above the green fields, you can see a long road with hills.

There was no wall outside the territory.

Nearby, you can see the city center and farmland surrounded by small and large villages.

This was the Ariana territory that Saeran had mentioned.

**

I entered the duchy’s fortress.

Well-trained knights stood in every hallway, and servants and maids were busy moving about.

As I walked down the hallway, I looked through the documents Saeran gave me.

“23 people go missing every week? The damage is severe. “You must be worried about your people.”

Saeran smiled bitterly.

On either side of her, the twins yawned long, as if they were half asleep.

“I’m trying as hard as I can. But the result is nonsense. The people are just suffering. furthermore.”

Saeran handed out the next document.

I frowned as I took it.

“…Are you saying the Paladins were also captured?”

“They were patrolling.”

“What they’re doing is getting bolder.”

I pointed out the village that suffered the most damage in the documents.

“The place called Benia Village is where it happened most often.”

“This is the most likely place where Palmer is hiding. “But it’s not easy to find a devil worshiper.”

Saeran shook his head.

“There was no trace of magic and no sign that the villagers had learned magic. Most of them are faithful believers who go to church. “Sometimes I even searched the house, but I only got a backlash and couldn’t find any evidence.”

Are you being cautious?

At that time, we arrived at the lord’s throne room.

The door opened and a man and a young man sitting on a throne were seen in the simple throne room.

Using my mind’s eye, I was able to see that the person in front of me was King Franz, who had come to the Duchy of Ariana.

He is a man in his late 40s with red hair and a bushy beard.

Next to him, a young man who appeared to be one or two years older than me was assisting King Franz.

Marcus Ariana.

He is my older brother.

It seems that the two of them heard the news that I was coming and came to the duchy.

“welcome. “His Majesty King Seong.”

King Franz stood up.

Then he lightly placed his hand on his chest and bowed his head in greeting.

Marcus, who was next to him, also bowed his head while supporting King Franz.

To me, it’s an indifferent look with no special emotions.

I also bowed respectfully.

At the same time, he muttered softly to Saeran.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

Saeran bent down next to him. I greeted him and gave him a small reply.

“I once took the lead in hunting vampires and was cursed. “The curse has been lifted, but some mental aftereffects remain.”

Mentally.

If it is a physical problem, I can treat the patient right before death, but if it is a mental problem, I have no way of treating it.

Franz Wang Zeiner smiled at me.

“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far.”

He glanced at Saeran.

“Did you hear the story from Saeran?”

“Yes, not only did I hear it, but I also saw it.”

King Franz said with a bitter smile.

“From now on, the Kingdom of Franz will not spare any support from the Holy Empire. Also, regarding the Palmer case, if the Holy King wishes, I will not touch it at all.”

“What you mean is that you won’t care about what I want to do.”

King Franz bowed his head and agreed.

Saeran whispered quietly from behind.

“Please do so as long as it does not harm the people.”

I curled up the corners of my mouth.

“I will take the utmost care.”

Yes, only for the people.

It doesn’t matter because devil worshipers do not belong to the people.

I left the throne room. I

was escorted to the VIP room and the twins returned to their rooms.

Only Saeran followed me.

Saeran ordered the maids to bring tea. .

I sat down on a chair on the balcony.

The Citadel of Ariana is located on a hill, and the VIP room is at the top, so it overlooks the Duchy of Ariana. It was

late in the room.

I saw the carriage with King Franz Zeiner leaving.

I also saw a person carrying a torch in the village. I saw Holy Knights patrolling with private soldiers.

“It’s quite small compared to the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom, isn’t it?”

“The soldiers are eager.”

“Yes, everyone is doing their best. Sometimes Mabel and Marcel patrol together, but it is still difficult.”

“You mean those twin brothers too?”

“Thanks to the grace of the High Elves, their growth rate is slow, but their skills are still excellent. If they spot a vampire, they can respond immediately.”

Saeran sat across from me and poured the black tea that the maid had brought. He

looked at me with interest and said,

“But how do you plan to find them? They are devil worshipers. Of course, the Red Cross are the best vampire hunters in the Holy Empire, but that is just heresy. “It’s a story from when I was an interrogator.”

These are people who literally specialize in torturing heretics.

Their sharp eyes are also excellent, but they do not see through everything.

“Originally, I was planning on using holy undead.”

I was planning to use the mind’s eye using the divine undead.

“But there is no need to instill caution in the anxious people.”

So I thought,

“I’m going to give the Red Cross a miracle tomorrow.”

“miracle?”

Saeran tilted his head.

“Your miracle.”

I grinned and stood up.

I put my hands on the railing and lowered my head.

I saw the Red Cross troops checking their equipment.

They had a variety of brutal weapons, including scythes, saw-barbed restraint spears, and shovels.

“God bless them.” “I’m thinking of making it snow.”

Saeran tilted his head.

I said while looking at Saeran.

“There will be no harm to the people. “If there is, it must be a family of devil worshipers.”

“There’s nothing we can do about them. “Please understand that.”

Saeran was silent at my words.

It must be tacit consent.

I narrowed my eyes at the duchy’s cities and villages.

“Tomorrow… it will be a little noisy.”

The next morning.

I looked at the 50 members of the Red Cross.

Wearing red robes and bird-beak masks, they knelt down and bowed their heads.

“Everyone take off your masks.”

The Red Cross takes off their masks.

From early 20s to late 50s. There are various ages.

He also had versatile talents.

Runes are carved into the crevices of their faces and necks with Eltera powder.

This is Aztalune.

With Hans’ ability, he could engrave it discreetly, but the Red Cross members were proud of the letter of God and engraved it on their bodies so that it was visible.

Their faith and loyalty to the Holy Family were visible at a glance.

I looked at them and raised the corners of my mouth.

It is time to take advantage of their faith.

I opened my mouth, thinking of lines that cults would say.

“From now on, I will show you some of my power.”

The Red Cross looked at me in surprise.

I raised my sexual power.

Aztalun reacts on the face and body, and golden runes are engraved on it.

“Let me give you eyes to distinguish between devil worshipers.”

As if reacting accordingly, it was also engraved on the Red Cross.

‘Ability transference.’

In an instant, the eyes of the Red Cross members turned golden.

The Red Cross members’ eyes widened.

They rolled their eyes and looked at the paladins standing around.

And they will know.

The other person’s name, age, characteristics, and beliefs.

“Yes, you now have the eyes of a saint.”

[Mind’s Eye] was temporarily granted to them.

The Red Cross opened its mouth.

“oh my god.”

“This…!”

They will be confused.

Because it will show that you are thinking deeply about the other person’s information.

The Red Cross members look at me with stern expressions.

The blunt expression on his face melted and the corners of his mouth rose.

He had an expression as if he were ecstatic and absorbed in madness.

I asked them.

“What do you see?”

“You can see the other person’s name and beliefs.”

Unlike me, I can only see part of it.

Age and characteristics are missing.

Well, Aztalune doesn’t transfer all of its abilities.

I asked again.

“What do you see about me?”

“I can’t see anything.”

It was very satisfying.

Mind’s Eye does not apply to players.

This is because it originally only worked on NPC monsters, etc.

I spread my hands out, satisfied with seeing them.

“How is it?”

And said.

“A miracle from God?”

The entire Red Cross trembled.

Put your hands together and pray as if your faith is deepening.

Although my conscience was pricked for taking advantage of their faith, I was happy that it was a good result.

“Now it begins.”

I said with a smile.

“It is time to subdue heretics.”

**

“Everyone form a group. Each Red Cross member must command one Holy Knight and 10 private soldiers.”

I shout as I pass by the Red Cross troops.

The Red Cross troops are mounted on horses.

The Holy Knights of Ariana looked in awe at the sight of them wearing red robes and bird-beaked masks.

“If there is anyone who harbors disbelief, catch him. He is a devil worshiper. “If they are, they must be excessively obsessed and selfish.”

I jumped on my horse and shouted,

“Their thoughts will soon become evidence proving that they are our enemies.”

Yes, no one can deceive the mind’s eye. This applies to vampires as well, so humans can never escape.

“Hun the devil.”

The Red Cross members all struck their chests with their fists and shouted,

“At the command of Holy King Allen Olfols-!”

“We will crush the devil worshipers-!”

They led private soldiers and scattered throughout the city and villages.

Heresy hunting by heresy inquisitors with deep eyes.

It started.
