Somebody Stop the Pope – 18



Episode 18

6. Missionary

1.

The next morning.

[10 minutes before Chaos Gate appears.]

[An ominous magic is swirling around the scene.]

“If only I had my way I would have a go at Siwoo right now. I like his personality and he talks so well! Hahaha!”

“I think President Choi is the type of person who will fight if he likes something.”

“That’s natural. Don’t guys usually get along well by fighting?”

I was waiting for the gate to appear standing next to Seojin Choi the representative of the Goblin Guild.

Just yesterday CEO Choi Seo-jin who had tried to eat me as if he was going to kill me was nowhere to be seen.

That is only natural as the negotiations ended very successfully.

What I asked of the Goblin Guild yesterday was as follows.

“I heard from the Ability Management Department that the Goblin Guild is very good at fighting. I think there is no better opportunity to watch how the players on Earth fight. Please let me just observe.”

It’s said that you can’t spit on a smiling face.

Since I had no intention of making a fuss by scratching I made my request as politely as possible and CEO Choi Seo-jin who was ready to have a go at me right away laughed heartily and accepted my offer.

I like the sight of someone strong enough to clear the gate on his own bending over backwards or something.

It looks like there was a misunderstanding but I had no intention of resolving it.

Anyway my goal is not to subdue the gate but to pick up our church’s missionaries who will come out of the gate.

What happens after pickup?

I guess it’ll work out somehow. It’s obvious that things won’t go as planned anyway.

anyway.

The current situation in which I am standing with CEO Choi can be seen as a continuation of yesterday’s situation.

I nodded slightly and slowly looked straight ahead.

As the system message warned a huge purple shimmering orb was floating in the sky.

And beneath them were the fighters of the Goblin Guild ready for battle.

Although some of them seemed nervous most of them were talking with relaxed expressions.

“My proud babies. Although there are some chicks mixed in I expect them to quickly adapt and do their part since their potential has been proven. What do you think Siwoo?”

“Veterans certainly have the veteran vibe.”

They were much more skilled soldiers than I had thought.

It was leisurely but not messy and the organization was also plausible.

Starting with heavily armored infantry to ranged attackers carrying bows or staffs.

There are even players waiting there wearing relatively light armor.

When I first heard the word guild I thought it was a group of mercenaries made up of players but looking at it this way it seemed closer to a regular army.

As I observed their appearance one question soon occurred to me.

The gate of the person in charge of the ability management department last time was like that and it’s the same here too.

Because the absence of essential beings was felt in Eden.

“It seems there are no separate players in charge of healing.”

CEO Choi answered my question as if it were a given.

“Since it hasn’t been long since Siwoo returned to Earth you may not know but healing players aren’t that common. Even if you have a little bit of healing ability you can get an A-class hunter license… and most of them are members of the Jeonchi Association. They’re worse than the quack doctors in our neighborhood and their salaries are unnecessarily expensive and they’re really picky.”

If it’s the Jeonchihyeop it’s probably something like the National Association of Healers?

Judging from the way you speak and get angry it doesn’t seem like you have a particularly good feeling.

There is a shortage of healing abilities.

I didn’t know about this detail. In Eden the priests mainly used healing abilities so I didn’t know it was lacking.

This could be a pretty good opportunity for me and the Limen Church.

I’m not sure yet but when a believer awakens their divine power they will also gain healing abilities.

It was around that time that I was digging up various information through CEO Choi.

Woof woof woof!

The purple sphere floating in the sky began to resonate violently and soon purple light began to spread out in all directions from the sphere.

And after a while a message window appeared before my eyes.

[Chaos Gate appears.]

[A quest occurs]

[Meet]

Type: Sub – DLC

Description: According to the agreement between <Dimension: Earth> and <Dimension: Eden> missionaries from the <Limen Church> will be dispatched from <Dimension: Eden>. You must safely secure the missionaries who come through the Chaos Gate.

Completion Condition: Missionary <???>’s survival

Reward: Holy Relic <Limen’s Token>

…a sign of Limen.

It looks like it was brought by a missionary who came over the gate.

<The Mark of Limen> was one of the relics possessed by the Limen Order. Considering the effects it possessed it will certainly be helpful.

“It’s been a while.”

I was looking at the message window like that and feeling lost in my emotions.

“There aren’t many opportunities to see our guild’s battles so I hope you take this opportunity to see them to your heart’s content. Hehe.”

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

CEO Choi finished his speech with a smile then shouted in a voice so loud that it resonated everywhere.

“Let’s open the game!”

And with CEO Choi’s booming voice.

Krrrrrrrrrr-.

Beyond the gate that had taken shape giant blue-skinned monster trolls began to appear.

2.

Pushuuuk-!

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The eerie sound of flesh-rending crashes and trolls’ screams echo from all around.

Perhaps because the gates were smaller than the ones I had seen so far the number of trolls that crawled out of the gate as an advance party was at most about 12.

“Trolls need to be aimed at the head!”

“Hey you little shit! Are you out of your mind? Who would think of something else in the middle of a fight?”

“You guys were top tier at the academy! What the hell are you doing these days? Do they only teach you how to lose your cool during battles at the academy? Who the hell was your teacher!”

Swearing is rampant everywhere.

If someone who didn’t know the situation saw it they might have thought it was a one-sided assault but I didn’t find the scene particularly strange.

Because it was a scene where veterans were harshly pushing newcomers.

Moreover even though their words were harsh they were willing to give up crucial opportunities to new recruits.

Most of the new recruits in the Goblin Guild were confused by the trolls and the verbal abuse from their seniors pouring in from all directions.

I watched the scene and spoke quietly.

“It’s stupid but effective.”

“It is one of the traditions our guild is proud of.”

Originally battles were fought under a lot of pressure.

And in order to win the battle you must faithfully fulfill your role even under pressure.

In that sense this goblin guild’s new recruit training could be seen as effective.

It’s just too primitive.

I could quickly figure out who the initiator of this outrageous rookie training was.

“You look good together sir.”

“You flatter me. Hahahaha.”

In Eden there was a character with a similar personality to CEO Lee.

He was a man who was called the King of Mercenaries and his straightforward and impulsive personality was exactly the same.

“But if it’s a gate of this level wouldn’t it be okay for the CEO to not come in person?”

To my question CEO Choi looked at me and shook his head.

“These days there are a lot of unstable elements in gates dungeons and more. Our elites will come back alive no matter where they are sent but they’re not chicks right? Still they trusted us and supported us so we can’t let them die in an accident.”

There is also loyalty.

If he had really been born in Eden he would have been a perfect fit for a mercenary.

CEO Choi said with the corners of his lips raised.

“The main force will be arriving soon.”

And the moment he said that the formation of the Goblin Guild members who were organizing the advance party changed drastically.

“Everyone back off!”

“The expected number of units is at least 50. Keep your distance and change to Formation B!”

“The chicks follow the back of the shooter’s head well!”

The change in formation occurred in an instant.

It was also proof that he was well trained.

They moved quickly spreading out their formation and as expected the gate changed once again.

[Chaos Gate is expanding in earnest!]

Kwarrrrrrung-!

The area of ​​the purple gate expanded several times in the blink of an eye starting with a lightning strike from the purple sky.

And then other trolls started walking out of it.

“All troops ready for battle…”

The Goblin Guild fighters who saw this quickly regrouped and prepared for battle but they were soon frozen in place by the bizarre scene that followed.

It’s true that trolls were walking out of the gate.

But the trolls were acting strangely.

Kkieeeeeek-!

Kiyaaaaah!

The guys came running as if they were being chased by something.

There was no wild fighting or viciousness that a troll would normally display. Their eyes were constantly shaking and some of them crawled out of the gate with missing limbs.

It no longer looked like an invader.

rather.

“You look like a true refugee.”

As CEO Choi said it was no different from the sight of prey running away from a predator.

“Just block it!”

“Don’t panic!”

The players who came to their senses late cut down the raging trolls but their eyes did not leave the gate.

To be exact it would have been an awareness of the predator approaching from beyond the gate.

I sighed deeply as I looked at the horribly torn trolls.

And CEO Choi looked at me like that and said.

“Is that what Siwoo was looking for?”

“I think so.”

“Such blatant power… It’s been a really long time. I don’t think I can bear this.”

Saruruk-!

The red magical power flowing out of CEO Choi’s body covered his body.

A magical power as strong as CEO Choi’s personality began to burn brightly.

He spoke in a very excited voice.

“Kuuuuu. I’m telling you in advance that I can’t compromise. That’s my prey.”

“Well I don’t think I’ll hear it in this situation… It’s not a matter of me giving in or not. And the word ‘prey’ isn’t a very appropriate choice of word either.”

“Hehe. No matter what I say it won’t work. Last time you ate the lychee all by yourself and now you’re thinking of eating something so precious all by yourself! You’re just being greedy. But now that I’ve seen it it’s impossible.”

It was a look in his eyes that was beginning to burn with a sense of victory.

It seems clear that there is a fatal misunderstanding but there is no way out in this situation.

He’s already a crazy guy with his eyes rolled back.

It would have been better to stop Shinchan. Even God can’t stop a crazy person.

…In my case should I say that I can’t even stop Limen?

Anyway that’s it.

I quickly gave up on persuasion and looked toward the gate.

The gate from which trolls had been crawling out just a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.

Only a heavy silence descended there.

How long did the silence continue like that?

Bam-.

Beyond the gate a troll’s head rolled carelessly down. It was a huge head several times the size of the other troll’s head.

And after a while.

“All troops Formation A!”

“Humanoid monster. A humanoid monster has appeared!”

“All new recruits step back! Only those with experience in PvP will be given priority to go to the front line! Hurry up!”

A man walked quietly out from beyond the gate.

Neatly slicked back black hair and a monocle with a white chain.

From the overbearing facial features that seemed to have the word ‘principle’ written on them to the black priest’s robes that looked like they would burst at any moment due to the upper body muscles.

In the ‘man’s’ left hand he held a thick white book and in his black-gloved right hand was dripping fresh troll blood.

I knew that man’s name. No I couldn’t not know it.

“Why you of all people….”

Leo Lumen.

He is the head of the Limen Church’s Doctrine Research Society and a man who ascended to the position of archbishop at the young age of 29.

He was also quite a principled person but his representative nickname was.

“…the mad dog of the Vatican.”

A mad dog of the Vatican who forces people to follow his own principles.

I muttered while waving lightly at Leo who bowed politely as soon as he saw me.

“X is done.”

Here’s the problem.

What happens when a crazy guy and a crazy dog ​​meet?

The correct answer is as follows.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …

CEO Choi who had been standing next to me just a moment ago landed in front of Leo and shouted.

“You are my prey. I will not yield to anyone! Turn me on. Quickly!”

Leo who was watching CEO Choi’s sudden actions frowned and then…

Kwaaaaaaaang!

As soon as he grabbed CEO Choi’s balls he put on a really hot show of force by planting his body in the ground.

This place suddenly became like a funeral parlor.

I muttered to myself again in that eerie silence.

“This is really X.”

Our Pope please stop this
