Somebody Stop the Pope – 180



Episode 180

58. Yongyong will die

1.

The recording we confirmed was also sent to the government immediately after the meeting ended.

Even though the location of the <Fortress of the Dead> was still an unrecovered area anyone could see that this situation could pose a fatal threat to the security of the Republic of Korea.

I was thinking that the government would respond quite cautiously but the government’s response was surprisingly bold.

He suggested a proactive approach saying that it would be better to mobilize troops first and strike first before the monster wave starts.

-We will mobilize all available power.

This means that the government also took the video seriously.

Two dragons covered in black mucus.

Just from the video alone it was clear that they were threatening.

What is a Dragon?

It is the strongest race in name and reality.

Beings who stand at the pinnacle of magical power.

These guys have been gifted with incredible magical abilities since birth and they learn to use magic before they can even learn to walk.

At least the dragons of Eden did.

Although the dragons of Eden were brutally slaughtered by the Demon Kings it is said that they also dealt considerable damage to the Demon Kings.

Even Mamon the Demon King of Sloth one of the Seven Demon Kings was nicknamed the Demon Dragon King. He was the only Demon King from the non-Demon Tribe and his original race was a dragon. To be exact the name Demon Dragon meant a corrupted dragon.

Of course I crushed the guy’s dragon heart myself.

Anyway even the snobbish demons have no choice but to admit that dragons are a powerful species. And two of those dragons appeared there.

A very daunting opponent for the awakened people of Earth.

Irregulars like Aiden or Raphael could probably handle it but there were just too many variables.

“I should have examined the samples for black mucus.”

The black mucus that covered the dragon.

It seems to be related to the slime we encountered when we rescued Seolhwa in the past but we cannot confirm the exact information.

There was too little information.

But there is always a way.

-He’s one of those guys who got kicked out.

“okay?”

-That’s for sure. I don’t know about other beings but they can’t escape my senses. But the Pope.

“huh?”

-Can you please throw the ball you’re holding far away? Just looking at it… I can’t stand it.

I was able to obtain information from Beth regarding the strange phenomena occurring in the <Fortress of the Dead>.

Still this guy knew a lot as expected of a spirit.

Just one thing

Whoosh.

bruise!

The problem is that compared to when we first met his dignity as a spirit has almost disappeared.

Now it’s just like a dog that can talk.

Look at him running towards me wagging his tail happy when I throw him the ball.

Beth who had brought the ball in the blink of an eye spat it out in front of me.

And then as if nothing had happened he conveyed his will to me in a solemn voice.

– We are training for a possible battle. Don’t misunderstand.

“Who said what?”

-I’m saying this because I think you might misunderstand.

“Don’t worry I won’t misunderstand.”

-That’s fortunate.

I’ve always thought of Beth as a pet. She likes it when Siyeon scratches her belly and plays with her.

It’s no misunderstanding that Beth’s appearance of bringing a toy ball resembles that of a pet.

Just a fact.

So don’t misunderstand.

But I don’t want to upset you by saying that out loud…

-Did you really think of me like that?

Oh I guess my thoughts accidentally got out of my head.

I answered waving my hand.

“No way. That’s what I meant by wanting to spend the rest of my life with you.”

-I don’t think so.

“Really.”

That’s why quick-witted spirits are in such trouble.

This guy’s understanding of divine power has gotten better recently thanks to the sacred tree so he’s trying to break through the sacred barrier and spy on my thoughts.

I have to be careful.

– It might not be a good idea to drag other humans along. If you expose yourself to their power you will become their slave in an instant.

“It’s only natural since it’s a power that has subjugated even the undead. I know that.”

Seeing as how the black slime subdues even the undead it must be even more deadly to the living.

To summarize the current situation it is as follows.

“1. A large army of undead fell into their hands.

2. Considering the scene shown by the mucus it is dangerous to mobilize troops.

3. Therefore this matter must be resolved with a minimum number of troops.

Even I can see that it’s neatly organized.

Although the government said it would mobilize troops it was more likely to end in failure.

The more troops you mobilize the lower the quality will be and those lower quality troops will be exposed to the slime and turn into enemies.

So the conclusion is

“This time it’s just a small group of elites.”

This situation must also be resolved with the minimum number of troops possible.

This was a very hopeful conclusion as I was certain that my physical strength would be completely restored this time as well.

As my anger boiled inside me Beth buried her head in my leg and said

-I’ll join you this time.

“Huh? Don’t you need to recuperate more?”

-Those guys are starting to move in earnest. It’s hard to stop the divinity. I can’t stand by and watch this land fall to them.

Beth’s voice was firm as if her health had improved considerably thanks to the sacred tree.

I welcome you.

I’ve never seen Beth fight but she’s still a spirit.

I guess it’s worth the name.

I gently tapped Beth on the head.

“Okay.”

-But why do you keep knocking on my head?

“Because I like to knock.”

-I see.

“That’s it.”

Still one solid companion is joining me on this expedition.

I can’t suffer alone.

cancer.

2.

The next morning.

Kaaaaaaang-.

The first place I stopped by after starting my morning work was the blacksmith shop located in the holy place.

“Refined that thoroughly!”

“I told you not to do it like that!”

“Is this hard? Huh? You guys this is something I could do since I could walk!”

Toby’s rough voice filled the forge.

In the past Toby alone used this blacksmith shop but not anymore.

About 20 people were busily moving around the blacksmith shop.

They are currently trainees being personally raised by Tobi.

You are a member of the Master Guild <Anarchy> that used to help with mining at our church’s sacred stone mine.

As they were production line players they wanted to learn a lot from the dwarves.

This is the result.

“Your Majesty! You have arrived!”

Toby who had been diligently training his students quickly ran over to me as soon as he saw me.

I waved my hand lightly at Toby.

“You’ve been working hard since morning.”

“I couldn’t just sit still when I heard that the Demon Dragon had appeared. I was just making a weapon with the remaining Mithril.”

Dwarves originally did not get along well with dragons.

I’m not on good terms with the fallen dragon Ma-ryong.

Toby’s eyes were burning with a hotter fighting spirit than ever before.

“Your Holiness! I have it too!”

“Raphael is everywhere these days. He’s just like two hearts very active.”

“Please call me Rajiseong.”

“…Rajiseong?”

“Two Hearts Large.”

“ah.”

Aiden and Raphael why are they both so monstrous in their adaptability?

Is it because I went to another world once?

You are really open minded.

It was a joke that if someone else had heard it they might have thought he was Korean.

I let out a small sigh toward Raphael and then asked Toby again.

“What were you making?”

“Do you remember Your Majesty? That fearsome weapon we created to deal with the dragons on the Dragon King’s side when fighting his army?”

Following those words I thought back to the battle with the Legion of Sloth.

It was a difficult battle to fight against because the legion included many demon dragons.

A weapon created by dwarves to fight against dragons.

Come to think of it there was one.

A weapon developed to penetrate the dragon’s tough skin and strike its internal organs.

“Dragon Slayer.”

It would be a harpoon-shaped weapon with a name as flashy as its effectiveness.

Toby clapped his hands at my words.

“you’re right.”

“I remember it being extremely difficult to use.”

Dragons were so adept at magic that they were even nicknamed magical creatures.

The same goes for the fallen dragon the Magic Dragon.

It was so powerful that even the Liches could not easily hand out black magic and defense was also achieved through magic.

The Dragon Slayer’s cutting power was incredible but it could only be used by neutralizing the defensive magic used by the dragons.

The basic principle of the weapon is to penetrate thick skin and explode inside.

If you look closely they are similar to modern bunker busters….

“It’s a fun looking weapon so I’m working on it. It also has a Bunker Buster feel to it so I’m modifying it using the principles of the Bunker Buster.”

Originally it was to pierce through the Dragon Scale and then shock it with the magic stone bomb built into the Slayer.

But looking at the madness in Raphael’s eyes it seemed like he had no intention of stopping with the magic stone bomb.

“Just think about it. Piercing a dragon’s thick skin planting a tactical nuclear weapon inside and then detonating it! Doesn’t the mere thought make your heart race?”

“Oh.”

That’s like a nuclear bomb exploding inside your body.

That’s not a dragon but even if the dragon grandfather came I think I would die.

“But there are no nukes.”

“There’s a saying that goes ‘chicken instead of pheasant’. I’m thinking of planting my own special bomb. I’m happy that various test subjects keep coming over. If I catch a dragon can I use the dragon as a test subject?”

“Oh Raphael. First we need to make our sect’s equipment using Dragon Bone and Dragon Scale.”

“I guess it would be okay to experiment on the corpse first and then hand it over.”

“But what if the precious materials are damaged?”

“Oh Uncle Toby it has to be a win-win situation.”

Listening to these two’s conversation makes me dizzy.

Some people are worried about how to catch those two dragons now but I think these two are already pretty much caught.

Toby shouted loudly clenching his fists.

“Those damn dragons should be shot down every time they are seen! Those damned things. They deserve to be chewed up and eaten as a beer snack!”

“It’s not a dragon…”

“Any dragon that sticks its teeth into us is a demon dragon!”

A situation where there is a huge army of undead and two dragons of unknown level attached to them.

Objectively speaking it was by no means a favorable situation.

But somehow the atmosphere within the church was heating up even more.

Luna and Leo were already warming up to each other saying that it had been a long time since they had fought a dragon.

I’m the only one who’s serious. …

Who on earth made our church like this?

“What good could those little lizards do when the Pope is here? Haha! Isn’t that right Uncle Toby?”

“That’s right! Our Majesty would roast a lizard whole. Let’s have a beer party with dragon meat as an accompaniment!”

“Oh dragon meat. It looks like it might be delicious. Interesting. Interesting. It stimulates my curiosity…”

…Is it really my fault?

really?

Our Pope please stop this
