Somebody Stop the Pope – 218



Episode 218

5.

Kang Ju-won a new hunter in the Ability Management Department is caught up in a crisis from his first day at work.

My mind went blank.

A bomb attack occurred in the heart of Seoul South Korea and an unprecedented S-class gate appeared in Seoul.

When his immediate senior said that the level of the surprise gate was estimated to be S-class the first thing that came to Kang Joo-won’s mind was the faces of his family.

How proud his parents were of him when he got a job at the Ability Management Department as a hunter.

The family suffered every day because of the hospital bills for their incurable younger sister. Kang Joo-won wanted to put an end to this misfortune and bring a smile back to his younger sister.

‘I have to protect my family.’

After graduating from the Awakening Academy I received an A-class Hunter license.

He couldn’t take even one step back to protect his family in Seoul.

But even he couldn’t help but feel fear consume his whole body.

Kyaaaaaaaah!

Kkaaaaaaah.

Monsters swarming incessantly from the gate.

Not only that but three giant monsters the size of a building were coming through the gate.

Was this the moment at the opening of Dimension?

The burning buildings the horrible monsters all of it combined to create an end-of-the-century atmosphere.

Maybe this was how it all ended.

But then a man ran up behind Kang Joo-won and hit him on the head while shouting.

“Kang Joo-won you little punk aren’t you coming to your senses?”

“…Senior we have to stop this…”

“I gave the order to get out! Didn’t you check your communication equipment properly?”

“…yes?”

“The Irregulars are coming in! So shut up and get out of the scene!”

The senior grabbed Kang Joo-won by the neck and dragged him backwards.

Only then was Kang Joo-won able to check the situation around him.

The other comrades who had been fiercely fighting the monsters just a moment ago were all retreating.

That’s truly unison speed.

Kang Joo-won asked in a bewildered voice while being dragged by his senior’s hand.

“Wasn’t Irregular Cheon Ja-hyeon already deployed and in the middle of a battle?”

“Do you have time to ask your senior now?”

“Even if you’re an Irregular you can’t kill three of those giant monsters at the same time. We’ll have to help you somehow…”

“Hey this kid is really talking nonsense. Just tell him to shut up! I have to give orders while explaining everything…”

That was when.

Kwaaaaang.

A huge roar echoed from their side and soon dust began to spread in all directions.

And out of that dust walked four men.

Kang Joo-won and his senior looked at the four at the same time. And at that moment Kang Joo-won’s eyes opened wide.

“Still I am impressed by your willingness to help in any way possible. It’s nice to see.”

Kim Si-woo.

Irregular representing South Korea.

And next to him stood the second Irregular Cheon Ja-hyeon the American Irregular Raphael and the last a man in an unidentifiable training suit.

“Are you two from the Ministry of National Defense or the Department of Ability Management?”

In response to Kim Si-woo’s question the senior standing next to Kang Joo-won answered in a voice filled with spirit.

“I’m from the Emergency Response Team of the Ability Management Department!”

“Thank you for your hard work so far. As of now this place is under the control of our irregulars. Oh and there’s a newcomer there.”

“…yes!”

“I really like your desire to help someone. If you have time after work let’s stop by the Limen Church’s temple for a cup of tea.”

“Are you talking to me??”

“Even if we just brush against each other it’s fate.”

“Thank you very much!”

“Okay then we’ll go now.”

The four of them including Kim Si-woo exchanged a quick greeting and then ran forward.

Kang Joo-won stood still and looked at Kim Si-woo’s back.

The senior who was watching the scene asked Kang Ju-won.

“…Did you know Pope Kim Si-woo?”

“…No. Today is the first time we met.”

“But why did you specifically ask me to come?”

“I don’t know either”

“That’s really strange.”

Kim Si-woo was a person that Kang Joo-won had always admired.

A hero who saves others.

A judge who punishes the wicked without mercy.

Kang Joo-won wanted to become an awakened person like Kim Si-woo. That’s why this situation felt like a dream.

But why is that?

‘Chills down my spine…’

Even though it was a moment that should have felt like a dream I felt a chill somehow.

It felt like I was entering the jaws of a tiger.

Kang Ju-won interpreted the subtle anxiety as simply the anxiety he felt because it was his first battle.

“Let’s get out of here quickly.”

“Yes senior.”

Until then Kang Joo-won didn’t know.

The fact that Kim Si-woo landed next to him on purpose and spoke to him.

That was the first meeting between Kang Joo-won the new prophet of the Limen Church and Kim Si-woo.

6.

“Brother was that guy you knew just now?”

I answered Ja-Hyeon’s question by waving my hand.

“Not a friend I know but a friend I want to get to know.”

Then Ja-Hyeon said with a serious expression.

“…I heard that you don’t like women but is that your type?”

“Should I just catch those demons today and catch you too?”

“No you said something that could have caused a misunderstanding.”

“Just die.”

I never thought that another prophet would appear in South Korea.

That young man named Kang Ju-won was clearly born with the destiny of a prophet.

To put it precisely as soon as he met me he realized his destiny as a prophet.

I heard from Limen that there are quite a few cases like that.

Those who were given the destiny of a prophet but failed to properly realize that destiny.

As for me I was just happy.

That’s why I’ve already prepared in advance. If you go to another religion honestly it’ll hurt your stomach right?

I punched Ja-Hyeon in the back and then looked around at the other Irregulars and said.

“There is no normal gate reaction. If it were a normal gate the system would have reacted but this is purely the work of the Purifier.”

These guys have come through the gate a few times in the past.

But it was just using the already created gate in some way.

There was no trace of the system at this gate.

In other words it is a gift that the Purifier has personally prepared just for us.

“I think you can take this to mean that they can now summon the gate themselves and attack it.”

A technology that hints at the will to spread shit all over the world.

Raphael smiled as he looked at the gate.

“Does that mean that if we defeat the Purifier we can find a clue to the dimensional travel technology? This is very interesting.”

Psychic energy exploded from Raphael’s body.

And soon countless weapons burst out of the suit he was wearing.

“It’ll be hard to concentrate firepower once those guys come down to the ground so I’ll take a spoonful first.”

This is a city.

It is not a suitable place to use Raphael’s specialty cutting-edge weapons.

That’s why I willingly gave the initiative to Raphael.

Three national crisis level demons coming from the gate.

Each of them looked like a puppy a cat and a monkey.

Woof woof woof.

Raphael’s right-hand man ‘David’ who has the same name as the American prospect is instantly transformed into a weapon.

The photon cannon I’ve seen before.

But the size of the photon cannon is much larger than that.

A gun with a larger and longer barrel than that of a self-propelled gun.

“I’m shooting.”

A huge amount of energy gathered in Raphael’s gun and soon monsters sensing the danger began to swarm from all directions.

But those monsters couldn’t even reach Raphael.

“Where are you coming from?”

“It tastes good.”

Because there was no one who could get through Ja-hyeon and Lee Se-min.

3 seconds later.

Phew.

Finally a fist-sized particle was created and shot out from the photon cannon.

At first glance it looks like there won’t be much damage.

But the destructive power of those particles was beyond even my imagination.

Paaaaaaaaaaah-!

The sky once filled with dark clouds is instantly consumed by a flash of light.

It looked like a new sun had risen in the sky.

KWAWWWWWW-!

The demons that had been jumping out of the gate screamed in unison and twisted their bodies.

Jaw-dropping power.

Looking at that sight I thought that maybe Raphael was better than me at grand battles.

“It is the only weapon that I have that cannot reproduce the original power since it came to Earth. It is currently at about 60% of the original output. Isn’t this enough for a preemptive strike?”

“What if it had 100% power?”

“It’ll still be there even after it’s destroyed. It was originally a weapon made for use on planets haha.”

“…I should have gone into the world of science fiction.”

Whenever I fight with Raphael I always feel deprived in terms of visual effects.

I wish I had a weapon like that.

But it was too early to feel regret.

Kwauuuuuu!

The giant demons were still breathing and after a while the monsters hiding behind them appeared.

Pale skin.

And a human-like appearance.

Individuals who serve as commanders alongside Lich Death Knights in the Demon Lords’ Legion.

“Vampire.”

The vampires quickly crossed the gate and began to descend to the ground.

“Rather you used the giant demons as shields? You guys are really clever.”

“Oh vampire. Pope Kim Si-woo by any chance….”

“Let’s focus because after the battle we’ll capture a few and use them as test subjects.”

“great.”

Vampires are a race that is basically born with black magic.

They spread diseases and place curses through black magic using magic.

During the long war in Eden the vampires also suffered a near-destructive blow but the number of vampires I could see now seemed to easily exceed 500.

“It’s been a while.”

I raised the corners of my lips and gathered my divine power.

Then the vampires all started rushing towards me.

This is why I love vampires.

Just as I instinctively hate magic those guys instinctively hate divine power.

That is why vampires are drawn to the divine power like moths to a flame.

“Divine Boundary.”

[Use the active skill <Divine Barrier Lv.Max> to create a barrier in the area.]

[The holy land of the Limen sect is not far away. The sacred trees and sacred trees located in the holy land add strength to the barrier!]

A giant barrier that separates the battlefield and the city.

If this place were anywhere other than Seoul it would have been a huge barrier that would have made even me dizzy but for me now it wasn’t that difficult.

There are a lot of believers of the Limen sect in Seoul.

Divine power is ultimately a power that comes from their beliefs.

In other words this place is clearly our church’s home ground.

Kkudduk.

I grabbed the vampire’s neck that was flying at me with my bare hands.

“Ugh.”

A pained voice came out of the vampire’s mouth.

The magic inside the guy’s body started to run wild like a mad beast but nothing changed.

Whoosh whoosh.

The flame that rises from my hand instantly burns the vampire alive.

“Kuaaaah!”

The vampire’s body turns to ash and flows away.

How would it feel to be turned to ashes while still alive?

It must be a painful and horrible feeling.

That’s why it is.

“It’s a fitting end for a mosquito brood. Isn’t it?”

It’s a fitting end for these creatures who thrive on human blood.

I lightly brushed the white ash off my hands and smiled brightly at the rest of the vampires. Then I spoke in a soft voice.

“This time I will definitely exterminate you. Look forward to it.”

Our Pope please stop this
