Somebody Stop the Pope – 92



Episode 92

3.

This guy was definitely different from the one I had dealt with in Busan.

At that time he was so weak that it was hard to call him a god but this guy could never be called weak.

Clearly an evil spirit.

Anyone who could interfere to this extent across dimensions was clearly incomparable to the degenerate gods I had faced before.

Kwajijijijijik-!

Gulp!

“It looked like a lump of tar so I thought it would burn easily but it doesn’t.”

I crushed the core of the Tar Golem with my holy fist and landed lightly on the ground.

It’s definitely a tricky mucus.

It was possible to push it away with divine power but it was impossible to completely remove it like when dealing with magic.

That is probably because the power that makes up that mucus is also the divine power of another god.

You could definitely get rid of it by pulling up the power and pressing it all at once but that method wasn’t very efficient.

Moreover due to the geographic characteristics of the cave there was a high possibility that the entire cave would collapse if there was an accident.

The room was on the verge of collapse just from the brief battle just now so if we increase our strength any further even Snow White’s assistance would be useless.

So as a last resort I spread my divine power into the air to flatten the mucus. Then I spoke to Snow White who was sweating like rain.

“Is it worth doing?”

“Don’t tell me to talk. I can’t stand it even now!”

“I can hold out for a few more minutes since my mouth is still alive. Let’s just endure it a little longer. If we just break down that door the situation will be over for now.”

Suddenly the Department of Ability Management’s evaluation of Baekseolhwa came to mind.

Although its single combat power is lacking its area-of-effect attacks are noteworthy. That was their assessment of Baekseolhwa.

But the way I see it her utility shouldn’t be limited to combat.

Even for a wizard it is not easy to build one’s own base through magic in this vast place.

This is because it is a difficult task that requires everything from spatial perception to delicate control of magical power.

Although it was serious enough to seem like it would collapse at the slightest touch by my standards no wizard I’ve ever met on Earth has ever given me this feeling.

Do you think someone like Jinyoung in Japan could do something like this?

Of course it could be possible because Snow White was a magician who specialized in ice but this alone was an incredible talent.

“You really have to meet people in person. Honestly when I saw you on YouTube I thought you were just a person with princess complex…”

“Shut up and get this over with! I’m fucking exhausted and exhausted why do you keep talking to me and making a fuss?”

“What do you mean even if I compliment you? I was trying to finish it quickly anyway.”

I guess you still haven’t realized the truth that you need to have a sense of humor especially when times are tough. Tsk.

Kkwaddeuk-!

I walked towards the door kicking away the slime writhing on the floor.

The source of the mucus that filled this room.

A distorted entrance that constantly ‘spurts’ divine power.

Thanks to having just thrown the Tar Golem away there were no obstacles as I approached the door.

The mucus that was crushed by the divine power tried to struggle somehow but they were unable to cause any damage to my body as I was completely crushed by the divine power.

“Hmm.”

Finally arriving at the door I reached out toward it.

The door was throbbing as if it were alive and an unpleasant sensation ran through my fingertips.

And after a while unexpected messages began to appear before my eyes.

[?##!?!#@!$!%%??]

[The door that won’t close]

●Item Type: Holy Relic – ???

●Original dimension: Earth

●Description: A door that didn’t close properly. Someone is looking at you through the door. It has long since lost its function as a door and is now used as an observation deck.

[You have discovered the objective for the quest <The Door That Cannot Be Closed>.]

It was embarrassing information.

Leaving everything else aside the origin dimension is <Earth> as clearly stated in the system.

The system doesn’t lie.

According to the proposition this strange gate was a sacred relic of the Earth.

At that moment my mind becomes complicated.

Earth is a dimension where the restrictions on divine power have just been lifted. How can a sacred relic appear in such a dimension already?

But my worries didn’t last long.

Because a shape appeared among the purple glow rippling at the door.

“eye?”

Eyes so huge they’re eerily large.

A tooth-covered eye nestled within the frame of the <Unclosed Door>.

Those eyes were looking straight at me.

【It is visible.】

It was a voice that was far more creepy than Limen’s but it was an undeniable oracle.

【I will definitely return.】

A lone eye floating above the purple world peers into me. A sinister energy that was divine but could hardly be called divine began to spurt out from the door like a fountain.

【To where we were.】

Kookookookookung.

The black mucus that had been suppressed by my divine power began to vigorously stir.

It was a vibration that seemed like it would engulf not only me and Snow White but the entire dungeon.

I couldn’t help but frown as I looked at the eyes beyond the door. Then I held the purple door with both hands and said.

“You little brat you know.”

A pain as if flesh was being torn rushed into the palms of my hands as I held the door.

The teeth protruding from the door pierced the <divine protection> surrounding my body and tore at my flesh.

It was a pain I hadn’t felt in a long time. The creature’s divine power invaded my body through the fangs embedded in my flesh but it could not advance any further from the affected area.

[The second function of the passive skill <Inviolable Lv. Max> is activated.]

[Your body rejects other types of divinity!]

Another defense mechanism that was sleeping inside my body.

As the first apostle who serves Limen directly the purity that must be maintained is not to harbor the divine power of another god within one’s body.

Unless the body of that ugly nameless bastard had come over it wouldn’t be able to consume my body with this level of force.

“Even though I look like this I’m still innocent you punk.”

Kkwaddddddddddddddd-!

The tentacles extending from the door had teeth embedded in them that bit my right arm but I ignored them and pulled the door left and right.

Booooooooo-!

The door is torn off.

The scenery beyond the door that had been shimmering purple became distorted.

Kkiyaaaaaaaah!

A sound like the howling of a beast hits my ears.

Blood continued to pour out of my arm where the tooth was lodged but I didn’t really care.

Just stare silently at the door.

The ‘god’ beyond the door was watching me until the last moment.

【I remembered you.】

With that last trust.

Paaaaaaaaaaah!

The door torn in half exploded in an instant spraying black mucus in all directions.

Traces of the door scattered on the floor and the teeth embedded in the door moved for a long time before they finally stopped moving.

And only after all that stopped did the message window pop up in front of me again.

[You have completed the quest <The Door That Cannot Be Closed>!]

[The completion conditions for the main quest <Arrival> have been updated. Absorbed otherworldly relics: 1/3 → 2/3]

[You have obtained the <Wriggling Fragment> as a reward. You can start a new quest with this item.]

[The causality in the area is normal…]

I turned around briefly closing the message windows that were popping up like mushrooms.

“oh.”

Snow White who I thought had fainted was still holding on. She was bleeding from the corner of her mouth perhaps from an internal injury from the explosion just now but she was squeezing out her magic power with eyes filled with venom.

“Are you okay?”

“…Does it look okay to you?”

“You look like a vampire because you have blood on your lips. Try cosplaying on a show later. I think you’ll like it.”

Snow White was about to get annoyed by what I said but gave up. Then she asked in a low voice.

“It’s over huh?”

“uh.”

“Oh shit. I thought I was going to get buried here.”

Slap.

With those words Snow White lost consciousness and collapsed.

I couldn’t help but stick out my tongue at her appearance. I thought she was trying too hard but it seems she was enduring it with venom.

It seems that the Department of Abilities Management underestimated this woman for a long time.

Although her magical power was lacking overall she was a magician with enough power to grow to the level of Kang Chae-ah or higher.

Well let’s think about that later.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

I gave her a blessing of healing and then carried her on my back.

But Snow White has gone through a lot so it would be too rude to leave her here right?

“Phew.”

The seal at the dungeon entrance must have been broken so the people waiting outside must have entered.

Let’s hurry and return to where the main force is.

By the way Snow White.

“It’s heavier than it looks.”

Maybe you have more muscle mass than you look?

4.

The main force was waiting for us there earlier.

The hunters from the Snow Flower Guild saw me carrying Snow White and ran at full speed with magic potions in hand.

“CEO! CEO!”

“It’s a sign of magic exhaustion so give it a magic potion and let it rest. It’ll come to its senses quickly after drinking the magic potion so once it comes to its senses it can move. Do you understand?”

“Okay I understand!”

I handed them the snow white and lightly swept their arms.

The teeth that were embedded in the flesh were all removed but there was still a hole in the wound.

Most wounds heal on their own but this case was different.

That meant that the divine power of that monster just now was lethal.

A force that was enough to reduce my regenerative abilities even though my main body had not been transferred.

There was certainly a reason why causality collapsed momentarily.

“Inwook! I brought you some water!”

“Oh Senior Yoon. Thank you.”

I drank the water that Yoon Tae-hwan brought straight away. I was already feeling thirsty but he was a quick-witted guy.

“But Senior Yoon.”

“yes!”

“When did I ever tell you to relax? I told you to keep your head down until I tell you to stop. I really hate people who slacken off.”

“that is….”

“Should I do it?”

“I’m sorry! I’ll correct it and get back to you!”

I appreciate you bringing me the water but that’s that and this is this.

I smiled with satisfaction at the sight of Yoon Tae-hwan immediately hitting me in the head.

“Mr. In In-wook.”

“Oh! Mr. Jeong-su. Are you okay? That’s a relief.”

“What the… Where on earth have you been?”

“Oh I had some work to do. I was late because I had to go to the boss room and move something. But I still did my job as a porter.”

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that since I came all the way here carrying a snow white.

Mr. Jeongsu was about to say something more to me but soon his gaze fell on my arm.

“Oh my god! Mr. Inwook. If you leave this wound like this it’s dangerous!”

“Okay…..”

“Just wait a minute!”

He quickly took out some disinfectant and a bandage from the small bag he was carrying on his waist. Then he immediately sprayed the disinfectant on my affected area and spoke.

“It’s going to sting a lot. I think I should go to the hospital right away after I get out.”

“The hospital bills seem expensive so you don’t have to go.”

“If you don’t have money I’ll pay for it for you so pay it back slowly! If you neglect it you might end up losing the use of your arms!”

Those wounds would heal on their own even if left alone although they would take a little longer to heal. However since it was the first time in a long time that I had received such treatment I decided to just leave them alone.

I quietly watched Mr. Park Jeong-su skillfully disinfecting and wrapping a bandage.

“Mr. Jeongsu.”

“yes.”

“Is this the Limen Church’s new city?”

“Hmm? I don’t think we’ve ever talked about religion before. How did you know?”

“You can tell just by looking at it.”

If meeting in a place like this is fate then it was fate.

He is a good person.

When I see him taking such good care of the injuries of someone he just met I think he must be a very generous person.

I took off the necklace that Kang Chae-ah’s magic was on and put it in my pocket.

And then he said to Jeongsu with a snicker.

“I didn’t mean to deceive you but somehow it turned out like this. I’m sorry.”

“Huh…? Huh!”

“I will invite you to the temple soon to express my apology. I would like to invite you to the temple right now but I am not finished with my work yet.”

I gave him a thumbs up in confusion. Then I slowly turned around and watched the guys coming towards me.

Guys entering in an orderly manner wearing white coats.

“You guys are sick of it now.”

Baek Myeong-gyo.

And in front of those guys.

“Your Majesty. Are you hurt anywhere?”

The secret weapon I had hidden in advance.

Luna Reventon was approaching waving her arms.

“Just advertise that I exist. Advertisement. Ugh.”

I should have brought Leona.

Write it down.

Our Pope please stop this
