chapter 17
17 – Disgusting Bastards
“Oh, this country will soon be destroyed. Why are there so many heretics in what is said to be the highest academy in the empire?”
It’s been less than two hours since the search for heresy started, but 25 people have already been caught.
“Heh heh, isn’t it a lot because it’s the best academy in the empire? There are students who will be responsible for the future of the empire, so they are worthy targets.”
“Are you saying this because I don’t know? Just sympathize.”
“But…. Are you just going to play?”
“Then you aren’t doing anything either.”
“I am a student.”
When Ryzen and I were chatting, the president approached with a worried face.
“The method is too coercive.”
I also understood the president’s heart. They were assaulted in front of the students, and they were searched forcibly.
But it was a necessary procedure.
Even instilling fear in the students was what I was hoping for.
The contract with the devil does not end until it is destroyed the moment it is touched.
“Mr. President, this is a necessary procedure. There are now 25 heretics caught in this academy. 19 Of them are students. Every student and teacher here should know. How dangerous is a pact with the devil. I would like you to think of it as a kind of infusion education.”
The chancellor closed his mouth and sighed.
“I guess…. I also think it is a necessary procedure. Still, seeing the anxious children kept shaking my heart.”
The president’s slender shoulders trembled.
“Catching heretics is important, but the most important thing is the students. It’s for safety and for the future. I know it’s very difficult, but can it be because the heart of the president, the representative of the academy, is shaken?”
The rector took a deep breath and stood up.
“Right. I shouldn’t be like this. Thank you.”
Tuk-tuk.
Ryzen touched my shoulder with a mischievous face.
“Hey, the president doesn’t see you as a student?”
Ryzen on the right spoke quietly into his ear.
“Heh heh, you say something strange….”
Quaaang!
At that moment, a huge explosion was heard from the front.
“Hey, it’s the research building!”
The president said urgently.
“Oh, I got that job. Come on!”
Did this man really come to play….
I grabbed my staff and headed towards the explosion.
Smoke rose from the building, and the walls on the second floor were broken.
Under the building, there was a fallen paladin and a priest struggling to move him.
“How much is the injury?”
I asked, and the priest, who was carrying it with a struggle, jumped to his feet.
“I was not seriously hurt, but I think I passed out from the shock of the blast. Ah! The enemy was a heretic paladin.”
“Okay. Treat him, and evacuate the personnel inside the building.”
“Okay!”
After giving the order to the priest, I jumped into the broken room on the second floor.
It was so dusty that I couldn’t see.
Little Heretic Paladin.
If those who have divine power start following or worshiping the devil, it becomes a headache.
It is difficult to determine that it is a heresy, and it is because the divine power to kill the devil becomes energy for the devil.
I walked out of the smoky lab. The hallway was quiet. Looking out the window, it seemed that no one had left yet.
Upstairs, a man’s voice came through the stairs.
“It would be better if we gathered in one place! Everyone this way!”
I followed the voice and went up to the third floor. There was a man holding a lecture. He looked at me and was startled.
“Sah, a priest student? Come here too! It’s too dangerous here right now. We’d better get together before the others come.”
I entered the room as he said.
As I entered, the eyes of the people inside were focused on me. He seemed surprised by my size.
There were 4 teachers and 3 students in the room.
“Wouldn’t it have been nice to just go outside? There are stairs on the other side…. I think it’s more dangerous because it’s right below.”
The female teacher wearing glasses said.
From my point of view, there are four heretics in total. It was the male teacher who told me to come in with three students.
However, the three students did not have clear information.
It was only a guess based on the fact that the student was here, not in the classroom, and the expression on his face.
It doesn’t matter. The male teacher was certain. He was the only one here wearing a paladin outfit.
“Why don’t you leave now?”
The female teacher wearing glasses said.
“Don’t move recklessly. It seems like an urgent situation, but if we act hastily, we may be misunderstood as heretics.”
Clap.
The Heretic Paladin who was looking outside closed the door.
His eyes were on the student behind my back. He was a schoolboy with brown hair.
Contract demons are advanced demons.
It’s been a while since I fought a high-level demon contractor.
“It’s okay, sit down.”
The Heretic Paladin told me.
It was a narrow place to wield a stick. In addition, it was not the best place to fight, as it could damage other teachers.
“You might as well get out.”
“Are you out of your mind too? I just explained Just in case, the Heretic Questioners are aaa!”
Chae Ae Ae Aeng!
I grabbed the Heretic Paladin by the collar and threw it out the window. Although it was three stories high, it would not have even been scratched.
“What are you doing… !”
The demons seized my body before the glasses-wearing female teacher finished her words.
The brown-haired boy grabbed my right leg and bit it.
The dark-haired schoolboy grabbed his right arm holding his staff.
The last dark-haired female student held onto my left leg and stretched out.
As I thought, all the students here were those who made a contract with the devil.
“Heh heh, hold on tight.”
I ran towards the window. The heretics did not miss me.
I jumped from the third floor.
Below was a heretic paladin who was shaking his head with a blank face.
Kooung!
As soon as I landed on the floor, the things attached to me fell off.
“The priest is using his strength.”
“Just tell me who is behind it. Then I’ll kill you cleanly here.”
“You think you can kill me?”
The dark-haired female student who had fallen from my body struggled to stand up.
“Seo, sir…. Please help me….”
She said as she crawled towards the Heretic Paladin. The impact of her fall had broken one of her legs.
“Stay there a minute. My soon….”
Booooong!
Faaagh!
The schoolgirl’s head was shattered, spraying her blood everywhere.
“Poor thing. You became an assistant to a heretic.”
At that time, a male student who was lying next to my feet grabbed my ankle.
“Teacher, now is your chance….”
Quaak!
I pierced the boy’s abdomen with a cane.
“It will hurt a little.”
“Keee
The skin bubbling and then quickly melted away.
“That is terrible. Even meeting the wrong teacher and dying in vain…. What on earth do you want?”
The Heretic Paladin’s eyes became sharp.
“It’s disgusting, God and you….”
“I see. I hate you too.”
Booooong!
As I swung my staff, the heretic paladin distanced himself. The cane hit the floor and rang out loudly.
Kaaang!
Sereung.
When the heretic paladin pulled her sword from both sides, a dagger like an awl came out.
His body began to twitch and his right eye turned red. It was the power of the devil.
The right hand holding the sword violently convulsed and swelled about 1.5 Times. The veins were also protruding, and it looked like a long parasite. The skin on his right hand turned black.
“Some…. Dirty.”
“I’ll tear you limb from limb!”
The Heretic Paladin kicked the ground and lunged at me.
He thrust his sword at my torso.
I swung my staff at his head.
Heretic, like a paladin teacher, reacted quickly.
He ducked to avoid the cane.
The means of attack is not only with a staff.
I pushed his chest with my foot.
Puuu!
Kwaaang!
He flew backwards and hit a wall.
“Heh heh!”
The Heretic Paladin groaned and sat down on the floor.
At that time, the Heretic Questioners who had come to help me approached me.
“High Priestess!”
“I don’t care, so just do what you are doing.”
The inquisitors withdrew without interfering with my battle.
Blood flowed from the mouth of the Heretic Questioner who hit the wall.
He placed his left hand on his stomach and cast a divine spell.
“Baby…. Your size is worth it.”
“The second attack is unresponsive…. You don’t deserve to be a teacher.”
“The High Priest…. You’re a weird guy Poor fellow, sooner or later death will come to you too.”
“The good news is that you will soon have the opportunity to grow.”
The Heretic Paladin spits bloody spittle on the ground and lunges at me.
“Light up this place with divine light.”
A strong light like the sun emanated from the staff.
The heretic paladin instinctively turned his head at the dazzling light.
Booooong.
I swung my staff in the opposite direction where my head had turned.
As expected, he was a good guy.
But this time it was too late as his head was turned.
Paaagh!
The Heretic Paladin’s head was severed.
Nevertheless, his torso did not stop and rushed at me.
The devil’s right hand tried to catch me. In the palm of his hand was a mouth, in which there were countless canine-like teeth.
Quaak!
I pierced his stomach with my cane.
Cheey hee hee!
As the divine power was poured into it, the heretic’s body began to melt.
“Khehehehe!”
The mouth in the palm screamed.
***
Urqbur Pandemonium area.
“Enemy reinforcements! Retreat immediately!”
An adventurer shouted.
“f*ck, that’s good.”
A man whose whole body was soaked in blood said a sword. He looked up at the sky and let out his sigh.
His name is Iares.
He was a warrior of the Anas Church.
“Sylpina couldn’t come. We have to save her right now.”
There was dirt and black blood all over her white skin and silvery hair.
Drenched in sweat and covered in demon blood, her beauty was not ruined. She was Saint Thesia.
“Then you go alone.”
The hero was still looking up at the sky.
He didn’t seem to budge.
“Disgusting bastard….”
Thesia spat out a low curse and ran toward the enemy lines to rescue her comrades.
