Somebody Stop the Pope – 224



Episode 224

5.

The scene of the ritual was filled with many high-level undead including Liches and Death Knights.

Even one Archlich an evolved version of Lich and two Abyss Knights evolved versions of Death Knights were present so it could be said that it was truly an incredible force.

Each and every one of these undead are of a level that easily surpasses that of a Disaster-level Awakened.

It is understandable that the Chinese government forces had a hard time trying to penetrate such a place without any irregulars.

I walked towards the guys with a smile.

“Just do what you were doing. I won’t bother you.”

They were undead that could strike fear into their surroundings with their mere presence but now they were all frozen in place.

That’s quite obvious.

Woof woof woof.

The divine power that flowed out of my body bound the guys’ entire bodies.

There was no undead that could move in this place without my permission.

Because I was their natural enemy.

“Were you summoning the Demon King?”

I slowly approached the magic circle drawn in the center of this place. A huge evil was writhing in the magic circle drawn with the blood of the victims.

A magic circle containing the hearts of countless victims.

And at the center of the magic circle a strange object that looked like a pupa was wriggling.

It was disgusting just to look at and equally horrifying.

But I was just indifferent because it was a scene I had seen countless times in Eden.

Whoosh whoosh-.

The flame that spreads from my feet sets everything on fire.

There is also a totem made from a skull.

A map stained with the blood of the victims.

It started to burn without leaving anything behind.

I said lightly clenching and unclenching my fist.

“Come in.”

The Holy Fire isolates this place from the outside world.

In an instant an arena is built on the field.

As soon as I withdraw my divine power the upper-level undead that have been freed from their bonds begin to rush in all at once.

Magic rippled from the black swords of the Death Knights and dark magic of incredible power poured out indiscriminately from the hands of the Liches.

I moved my body quickly taking in all those attacks with my eyes.

Whiriliriririk-.

Panels imbued with divine power move at incredible speeds shattering the skulls of the Liches.

The AI ​​equipped with Raphael learned a lot of things in this short period of time.

As a result it moves much more smoothly and quickly than before.

Kaaaaaaaaaah-!

The Abyss Knights and Death Knights swung their swords at me heedless of the falling liches.

The guys’ black swords flash before my eyes.

The black sword filled with tremendous magical energy gives one a sense of fear that makes one feel as if they are falling into an abyss just by looking at it.

But not for me.

“You idiots.”

I broke dozens of black swords at once.

And then he quickly swung his fist and took down the Death Knights on the first line.

My divine power was there for this from the beginning.

Faith in Limen is a power that existed from the beginning to destroy ‘Ma’ rather than a power to care for others.

[Your divinity is granted another attribute.]

[Acquire <Pharma’s Attribute>. Your followers and followers are granted the <Pharma> trait.]

[Does not apply to followers of your superior god <Limen>.]

It is not only the white divine power that symbolizes the divine power of Limen that is revealed.

The gray divine power I saw before.

That divine power has revealed itself once again.

A divine power that is entirely mine that was created when I ascended to divinity.

The divine power begins to spread quickly as it intertwines with Limen’s divine power.

Passs …

Undead exposed to divine power are scattered into dust.

I ran forward pushing through the dust that was flying in all directions.

Thud.

Did you sense my divine power?

The pupa’s beating becomes more intense.

Every time the pupa moved a huge wave of magic energy burst out in all directions.

What’s inside that pupa is undoubtedly the incarnation of the Demon King.

As I was pondering how to cook the pupa the lich who survived the panel attack cursed at me.

But it was just ‘pouring’.

[Passive skill <Inviolable Divinity> protects against Saihan curses.]

A curse like that wouldn’t even be able to scratch my body.

That’s just a tantrum.

A desperate attempt even though you know it won’t work.

Even though he is called Arkrich he is just an ordinary skeleton in front of me.

Kwajijijik-.

I kicked Arkrich’s body and knocked him down then immediately poured divine power on him.

Then Arkrich turns into white bone dust.

It only took three minutes to clear out all the undead there.

“The appetizers are finished.”

The troublemakers are gone.

I waved my hand lightly and then walked towards the pupa.

Is the moment of birth approaching? The pupa that had been beating ceaselessly has now become quiet.

Tsk tsk tsk.

The pupa’s shell began to crack with a noise and after a while a man with pure white skin appeared inside.

A naked man.

The moment the man steps on the ground

Kwaaaaaaa.

The magic that had been filling the surroundings swirled and was sucked into him.

The man who sucks in magic like a black hole.

The guy slowly opened his eyes as he greedily devoured the magic.

The man’s red eyes shine ominously.

As soon as he saw me the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

“It’s been a long time Pope. I really wanted to see you last time but I was disappointed that I couldn’t. How have you been?”

I could tell right away who the guy was.

Greedy piglet.

Baal.

A cripple who appeared in South Korea last time and disappeared after being punished by heaven dozens of times.

“It’s been a really long time.”

“You came to Earth and created a bunch of weird things didn’t you? That’s why you had a hard time.”

Baal smiled with a leisurely tone. He looked at me and continued speaking.

“Let’s fight like we did in Eden. I can’t forget the excitement of that time.”

Even at that moment the guy was greedily devouring the magic.

The magic left behind by the recently destroyed Liches and Death Knights was no exception.

“I’m not in good physical condition yet. So please wait a little. I’ll get my strength back soon.”

“…Why me?”

“You want to have a proper fight with me don’t you?”

“iced coffee.”

I nodded slowly to the guy’s sophistry.

I’ve always thought that this piglet’s intelligence was low.

In fact the legions led by Baal were the weakest among the seven demon lords.

why?

Because the commander is a fool.

“If you are a warrior you can wait as long as you want…”

Kkwudduk.

I quickly closed the distance and grabbed Baal by the neck. Then I smiled bitterly and said

“Why me?”

Just because you’re the incarnation of the Demon King doesn’t mean you’re necessarily stronger.

Even if the spirits of the guys are possessed it is not dangerous unless you have gathered enough magic energy.

I thought I knew why this pupa was in the middle of this battlefield.

Because it takes an uncountable amount of blood and soul to summon the Demon King into the incarnation.

In other words this guy Baal is a demon lord who is not even halfway there yet.

How could I just pass up such a great opportunity?

I said looking at Baal struggling in my hands.

“Belphegor will welcome you.”

“…Belphe is being held captive by you? No way. That sly bastard is holding you back…”

“Go and see for yourself. I personally hope you like skewers too.”

I laughed and twisted the guy’s neck.

Wood crunch.

An eerie cracking sound rang out.

6.

As I personally destroyed the enemy’s leadership the battle situation began to rapidly turn around.

The rebels lost their minds as the Irregulars and our sect’s forces began to attack from behind.

Maintaining the defensive line.

But that doesn’t mean retreat.

Enemies so disoriented that no operations can be carried out.

It was as easy as eating a piece of cake to clean up the enemies who had turned into a rabble.

The Chinese government forces who had been struggling because they had failed to break through the first line of defense finally broke through the line and began to gain momentum at a rapid pace.

The battle after the defense line was broken through turned into a battle of annihilation.

Although the demons who lost their chain of command ran wild they were quickly put to death by Isemin and Raphael.

So 6 hours after the battle started.

“I will report to Your Majesty.”

“okay.”

“0 dead 47 seriously injured 102 lightly injured. This is a report on the casualties.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The battle was finally over.

After hearing Leo’s report I immediately asked a question.

“What is the condition of the seriously injured?”

“Most of them were seriously injured and almost lost their lives. We have prepared emergency measures using the highest-grade holy water and highest-grade sacred stones that we have prepared in advance. We will need to transport them to Seoul for treatment as soon as we return to the Holy Land in Shanghai. The rest of the troops except for 47 will need simple emergency measures.”

“…Thank you all.”

It must have been the first battle of this scale but it was almost a miracle that there were no casualties.

Leo and Luna would probably be running around nonstop.

I nodded and patted Leo on the back.

“I’ll leave the battlefield cleanup to the Chinese government forces so you and Luna should return to the Holy Land first.”

“All right.”

“Send the critically ill patients back to Seoul immediately. Contact Archbishop Laparte and have him prepare a medical team.”

“Yes Your Majesty.”

Leo bowed his head again and immediately stepped back.

And Luna who was standing next to Leo said while wiping the blood from the hammer.

“We need to start cleaning up the city right away.”

“That’s right.”

“Then I will wait for you at the Holy Land Your Majesty. Thank you for your hard work!”

Luna is particularly energetic on the battlefield.

One of Luna’s strengths was that she was not burdened by the madness of the battlefield.

I let out a small sigh as I watched the two walking away.

And then he kicked Baal’s body that was rolling around at my feet and said:

“Raphael.”

Then after a while Raphael came down from the sky.

Raphael nodded as he removed the suit’s helmet.

“Have you called Your Holiness?”

“What is the combat situation elsewhere?”

“Fire support has been successfully provided. The remaining front lines should be cleared within an hour.”

“great.”

I guess it was a good idea to produce a lot of Heavenly Punishment missiles.

While I was talking to Raphael about the situation Lee Se-min covered in blood approached from afar.

I used the blessing of purity on Isemin.

Then the blood that had been polluting his body disappeared.

“…thank you.”

“No problem.”

Lee Se-min also contributed greatly to today’s battle.

He single-handedly destroyed most of the flesh golems that were threatening our forces and completely shattered the enemy’s lines.

It was an irregular performance.

I didn’t ask him specifically what world he came back from but he certainly seemed familiar with war.

“Still your debut in China was a success.”

Raphael smiled as he looked at Baal at his feet.

I nodded at those words.

“I succeeded in getting one shot. However.”

“but?”

“From now on things will get more complicated. Physically and politically. The enemies probably knew that too. That’s why they might have given up on Shanghai so easily.”

I looked at the Chinese government troops approaching us from afar then turned my gaze back to Baal at my feet.

And he frowned.

He is supposedly the incarnation of the Demon King so why was he left here?

…those purifiers.

What on earth are you thinking?

Our Pope please stop this
