Somebody Stop the Pope – 152



Episode 152

5.

The appearance of a guide that wasn’t in the plan.

Thanks to Leah’s enthusiastic guidance we were able to arrive at the Nolls’ base faster than expected.

A crude fortress built on a plain.

Roughly cut and placed wooden fences and crude structures that don’t go beyond the first floor.

“There it is over there. Do you see it? My friends are being held over there.”

“It looks good.”

“They’re just bad guys. You fucking assholes!”

I nodded slowly while listening to Leah’s unexpectedly foul-mouthed swearing.

Although it was a crudely built fortress it was not small in scale.

More than 2000 gnomes were standing guard against the fence.

Did they notice that the scout party was annihilated?

We were definitely cut off but it seems like they had a separate communication system.

The play groups were tightly grouped around the fortress.

“I think it might be too much for our kids to tackle it head-on.”

Luna now wearing pure white plate armor spoke while hitting her shoulder with her mallet.

“It’s too much. And they’re on a different level from the scouts we faced earlier.”

There were clearly powerful entities everywhere.

You can also see some unique entities that have mutated through magic.

And one more thing there were magic stones embedded all over the fortress. This was also evidence that there was a magic stone mine located inside the fortress.

“That’s definitely not the work of a dog head. You can’t easily break through something like that in close combat.”

Magic stones installed throughout the fortress.

The magical energy flowing from those magic stones enveloped the entire crude fence.

At first glance it was similar to the sacred barrier. It was a form of maximizing the defensive power of the fortress through magic.

If it had been another force not us that had attacked that fortress they would have suffered considerable damage.

With a barrier of that level magic below a certain level would have been completely nullified.

“You really messed up something.”

At this point it’s clear that the Purifiers are responsible.

Nol’s level of intelligence is not enough to create a barrier like that.

I frowned as I glanced at the fortress.

“I decided to somehow drain your strength.”

I could guess what the Purifiers were thinking. It seemed like they were trying to weaken the Awakened forces of the Republic of Korea by supporting the alien races near the Lost Lands.

It also seemed clear that various experiments had been conducted in the Lost Land.

A land with virtually no ties.

It would have been a much easier land to operate in than China where they were hiding.

“How can I relax for the first time in a while?”

“I’ll take care of it.”

I said waving my gauntleted hand lightly.

Then Luna winks at me.

“As expected of our King. He is truly sweet. You can’t stand to see your subordinates suffer right?”

“Illusion is freedom. You get ready to enter the castle with the kids.”

The difficulty of entering head-on is only for our new recruits not Luna and me.

We’ve been through worse than this.

When entering the Demon King’s Castle I broke down the main gate and entered.

Compared to then this was a real drop in the ocean.

I poured a lot of divine power into the gauntlet. Then the gauntlet reacted to the divine power and started to cry loudly.

Woof woof woof woof!

Whoosh whoosh.

Luna clapped her hands as she watched my gauntlet begin to glow.

“Your Majesty. A good name just occurred to me.”

“…suddenly?”

“How about the Infinity Gauntlet? And then you shout ‘I am inevitable!’”

Somehow I feel like I’ve been watching a lot of M company hero movies lately.

Whenever I had free time I would just watch hero movies on my tablet PC.

“If you do that you’ll get caught for plagiarism or illegal theft.”

“Hey at least this much is an homage.”

“That company needs to be careful. Take heed to my words.”

I gave Luna’s words a light chew and then immediately waved my hand toward the fortress.

And after a while.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The holy fire that had been condensed in the gauntlet exploded and turned into a huge fireball that flew straight towards the fortress.

A pure holy fire that contains no special skills or techniques.

But there has been a saying since ancient times:

Simple is best.

Flashiness and such are not really important. Whether it is flashy or simple the essence is the same.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!

That is overwhelming strength.

There is no technique in the face of overwhelming strength. It’s just that the strong win and the winning is strong.

The flame that flew out of the gauntlet struck the front of the fortress and immediately a huge explosion occurred.

Pure white flames rising toward the sky.

In a single blow the front of the fortress was completely burned down.

I swung my fist again towards the exposed interior of the fortress.

Kwaaaaang!

Kwaaaaang!

Awwwwww!

The building collapsed and the people’s houses collapsed.

Let’s destroy everything that can be destroyed. The Nols who had been on full alert inside began howling. And they quickly gathered in front of the collapsed fortress.

The attitude of trying to stop it even at the risk of death.

Luna asked me again while inspecting the Noldeul’s defenses.

“Should I put it in now? I’m really frustrated these days and my body is twitching. How about giving in to those guys’ demands for a fair fight?”

“Luna.”

“Your Majesty.”

“If you tease them tell them to attack from a distance. Where is there any fair play in a fight? If you win you win and if you lose you lose. Oh and.”

I gathered my divine power into the gauntlet once again.

And then he said with a sly smile.

“That’s because you don’t know what this taste is like. It might not be fun for you but it’s so much fun for me.”

“…grabber.”

“Just wait and see. As the Pope of the Limen Sect I will show you exactly what Limen’s divine punishment is like.”

After a while.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

Kwaaaaang!

The baptism of sacred fire began to pour down upon the Nols.

And Leah who was sitting on my shoulder jumped up and down and screamed.

“Wow! The Pope! Amazing! Really amazing! Of all the people I’ve ever seen the Pope is the best!”

That reaction is delicious.

6.

Ten minutes after the Holy Fire bombardment began on the Noldeul fortress.

“But Your Holiness.”

“huh?.”

“Do humans usually rescue hostages like this?”

“Well I guess. If this is a rescue then isn’t it a rescue? If we just kill all the hostages then that’s a rescue. That’s what I think.”

“Aha… I see.”

Leah who had been jumping around excitedly just a moment ago glanced at me with a slightly frightened expression.

“And if the hostage dies too…”

“Making mistakes like that is amateur. Not making mistakes like that is professional. I am a professional.”

“Aha… That’s true.”

Thanks to Leah telling me the location of the fairies in advance I was able to burn everything down except for that area.

Maybe it’s because the fortress is made of wood but it burns well just like the dark elf times.

It was really easy to enter after completely destroying the fortress from a distance.

Kkieeeeeeing….

Wood crunch.

The few survivors from the indiscriminate bombing are being lightly cleaned up by new recruits as they move around.

The aftermath was deliberately left to the new recruits.

Even if I finished it nothing would really change. It would be much more beneficial to help them grow by giving the final blow to the newbies.

There was no need to worry as Luna was attached to protect against any possible threats.

“It’s here it’s here.”

Leah flapped her wings and led me to the center of the fortress.

There was a small entrance that seemed to be connected to the underground and I could tell right away what the entrance was.

“This is the entrance to the magic stone mine.”

Swirling magic.

A mine that contains medium-level magic stones although not high-quality ones.

As expected the Noljis seem to have built a fortress centered around this place.

As soon as I got here I could once again feel that the kids were full of shit.

because.

“Leah!”

“Hey guys! Are you okay? Hey? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Because a crude prison that held the fairies was right at the entrance.

Why would they have kept the hostages locked up at the entrance when they could have been locked up in a magic stone mine that was perfect for keeping them locked up?

Anyway it was a choice worthy of the dog-heads.

“Excuse me Pope. Could you please destroy this prison? The children are having trouble using their power because of the strange energy.”

Leah said in a polite voice.

As Leah said the prison where the fairies were kept was covered with magic stones which was probably to restrain the fairies’ magical abilities.

Fairies may be cute and adorable but their magical abilities are not to be ignored.

It’s surprising that these guys who can’t even think about dispersing the hostages even considered something like this.

“okay.”

I lightly swung my fist and broke the small prison cell.

“Leaaaaaa!”

“I thought I would never see you again.”

“I’m really really glad.”

A tearful reunion followed immediately.

Leah who brought me here hugged her friends while shedding tears.

And the same goes for friends.

The scene of 22 fairies embracing each other and shedding tears unfolded before my eyes but rather than being touching the scene was…

‘…so cute.’

It was so cute.

I wish I could have captured this precious scene in a photo.

No matter what cute is the best right?

After about five minutes of this emotional reunion the fairies all bowed down to me.

“Thank you for saving me.”

“thank you!”

“I will never forget this favor for the rest of my life.”

A thank you message from cute fairies the size of your palm.

I nodded smiling happily.

“I’m glad everyone is safe. Are you all hurt?”

Nod nod.

The fairies nodded in unison. Then one of them pointed to the entrance to the mine and said:

“There were a lot of people who went in there. The boss went in there too!”

“aha.”

They used it as a kind of bunker? Those dog-heads certainly have survival instincts.

I gave a thumbs up to the fairy who gave me some very useful information.

“Thank you for letting me know.”

For some reason the sub-quest won’t complete.

That means there are remnants left.

As I nodded Leah asked me in a bright voice.

“Hey what does that thumbs up mean?”

“In South Korea it means ‘the best.’”

“aha!”

After a while 22 fairies raised their thumbs up at me.

“best!”

“i love you!”

“thank you!”

This place is a real reaction restaurant.

I smiled at the fairies again and slowly approached the mine entrance.

“Let’s talk about the details after we finish our work first. There are so many things I want to share with you all.”

I must definitely take these cute aliens to the Holy Land.

But before that there is something that needs to be definitely concluded.

I stopped in front of the entrance to the magic stone mine and immediately created a sacred barrier at the entrance.

And once again he breathed divine power into the gauntlet.

Whoosh whoosh!

The gauntlet started to glow with fire.

It may have been a good choice to escape to the magic stone mine to avoid the bombing but you should have come out right after the bombing ended.

“Try some Korean-style kiln cooking.”

Please note that there is no exit.

Our Pope please stop this
