2nd Round Villain

67 – – 300, human king – 2

“I know that? A saint?”

Hearing the voice of a saintess and realizing love reminds me of the old days.

He was imprisoned in Tartarus, the deepest prison in the Tower of Babel.

[What are you talking about?]

“I took the saintess talking about love in the past and dismissed it as bullsh*t.”

[Yes, I remember all the time I spent with Joker.]

Is there energy in love? Does it have form, mass, or magical power?

I replied no back then.

there is one I didn’t know then, but now I know. Why? Because I’ve experienced it myself.

Inspire a person. It’s easy. Because humans are beasts of change.

Inspires a demon. It is difficult. Because demons are more dominated by nature and wild nature.

inspire me I considered it to be close to impossible. Even the Lord and Heavenly Father failed.

However, the saintess succeeded.

Therefore, I admit love. I salute the saintess who made me an apostle of love.

of course… It’s just subjective love anyway.

“Ahahahaha, thank you very much for that.”

[no. But, what are you talking about… ?]

“Why, because I have to explore that love soon.”

[yes?]

“Saintess, do you know that you are Saint Irowell?”

The sound from across the rosary stops at the words that flowed from my parted lips. He stopped to think of something.

[Saint Irowell… Do you mean the saint of reform?]

“Uh, Nioh’s lover. No, the Niwang loved it.”

[It’s famous. What you once decided to be right, you pushed through to the end… Because she was a saint about 300 years ago when I was born.]

“Do you know anything about Irowell’s life? I was alive when Irowell was alive, but I didn’t know much because I was only in the demon realm.”

[I read it in the book, but… Why are you suddenly asking about Saint Irowell?]

There was something sharp about the saintess’ question. As if sharp thorns had sprouted.

I know why the saintess is like that. because of jealousy Saint Irowell is also a woman, so I wondered if I would keep her by my side like Aru and Beatrice did.

“Ahahahahaha! As expected, the saintess’ jealousy always makes me laugh!”

[Uh, hurry up and answer me! Why are you mentioning Saint Irowell out of the blue!]

“ha… I shed tears for a long time. Holy Lady, I understand what you are worried about, but you can put your worries aside. Irowell at this time was already dead. It is now the 414th year of the Imperial calendar. He has been dead for a long time.”

[ah… okay. I was stupid and forgot.]

Perhaps ashamed of the fact that she felt the wrong emotion of jealousy, the saintess shrank. If it had been when we were locked up together in Tartarus, I would have teased you leisurely for a long time, but it’s a pity. It’s because the phone time given to me isn’t that long.

[Anyway, to talk about Saint Irowell in detail, she is famous as a reformed saint, as everyone knows. In particular, it used to be ranked as the best on the continent in terms of work momentum.]

As if the saintess had not forgotten that fact, she quickly returned to her original subject. The saintess had nothing to hold back when she knew that I did not intend to meet the saintess Irowell in person.

[Do you know about the marriage system of the Holy Church and the history of its transition?]

“Originally, the Holy Church did not allow priests to marry. For the reason that a priest serving God must be chaste and chaste.”

[yes. However, following the doctrine of the Messiah, ‘beget many and prosper’, the church allows priests to marry from the 114th year of the imperial calendar. but… Well, like any other religion, the Holy Kingdom gradually declines and corrupts. Obscene priests used to go in and out of Changgwan, violating the doctrine of allowing only one spouse, and the church with most of them knew about it and tolerated it.]

He speaks calmly, but there is a slight sadness in it. The saintess is like an incarnation of the doctrine of the Lord. It would not be easy to confess the injustice in the history of the denomination you believe in, even if it was not the saintess herself.

However, the saintess did not hide it. The biggest part of her values is constant self-reflection and self-reflection. Fix the sins committed in the past, chew on them, and move forward. That’s Saint Mary.

Saint Irowell also had thoughts similar to hers.

[But not everyone lived a life steeped in pleasure. Saint Irowell demanded reform from the corrupt denomination early on, and in the end, she dares to change the doctrine with her authority. It was a major event that strictly prohibited the lust of all priests within the church after the year 394 of the Imperial calendar.]

“That’s why she is still called the saint of reform.”

[Yes, many church members left the church due to the reform at the time, but as a result, the water change was successful. As in the early days, the Holy Church embraced piety again and became close to discipline. In the aftermath of that, the holy country of the 700th year of the Imperial calendar, when I was born, became one of the best countries on the continent.]

This is why Saint Irowell will continue to be loved in the future. Seriously, is it to the point of being called the greatest clergy along with Saint Mary after the Messiah?

[Not only that. At the time, when the empire announced the plan to exterminate Masurim on the continent, most countries agreed to it, but Saint Irowell opposed it. The horse forest is also one of the natural ecosystems, and the reason is that it is the only living place for certain animals. Nevertheless, when the Empire tried to push through with the plan, the saintess Irowell went to Masurim alone with her blood.]

“Two hundred years after that, it was revealed through the mouth of the king that Irowell had died in Masurim. The King himself said he loved Irowell wholeheartedly. In fact, Niwang was a great lover, right? Even after hundreds of years passed and I came out to the civilized world, I always remembered only Irowell.”

[I heard. This is all I know. Was it helpful to you?]

The saintess asked cautiously. I nodded involuntarily at the invisible woman and answered.

“Oh, that helped. Even the vague memories became clearer.”

[Fortunately, the. I am happy to be of help to you.]

Well, there is definitely a feeling that a bunch of memories are coming up. I recollected that memory.

Was it twenty years ago?

At that time, Demon King Kanos announced his intention not to invade the continent for the next 200 years.

It was the reason that a continent that was so weak compared to himself was not worth invading.

It was of course good news from the continent’s point of view, but the continent became another headache because of it.

The ‘Hero Party’ raised in preparation for the invasion of the Demon King.

They are an indispensable and important force in the decisive battle with the demon king, but if the demon king does not fight, they are nothing but money-eating scammers.

Think about it. There are hundreds of people who go into nurturing one warrior. A lot of the best teachers and education, and the best meals and houses, servants, power, etc. that you have to support every year… .

There is not just one warrior. Wizards, archers, warriors, porters, and many others in the warriors’ party… To each and every one of them, the countries must necessarily give their full support.

why? Because the warrior party is noble. Because you have a great destiny to save the world. It is also difficult to bring them down by framing them.

Are the party of warriors chosen by God ugly? Even a really ugly human being has to cover that fact. If it turns out that the warrior party, which is no different from the fantasy of the people, was dirty in reality, it is directly related to the kingship and the priesthood.

In a word, it’s a nuisance. At least it would be nice if it could be used as a war troop, but because of the rules that the warrior party only works for peace on the continent, they can’t do that. In the first place, isn’t the warrior party itself selecting the most talented people from each continent and educating them?

The empire, thinking about what to do with the trouble, finally comes up with a move. A cursed land and a place where the dimension between the continent and the Pandemonium is twisted, Masurim is forbidden to the people of the continent.

He had devised a strategy to destroy the demon forest. To be precise, a strategy to eliminate the warrior party using the forest.

From the Empire’s point of view, either way is advantageous. It’s good that even if the warrior party, which doesn’t help at all and only eats up the budget, dies, it can be wrapped up as a noble sacrifice, and the destruction of the demon forest also gives you a reputation for extinguishing the continent’s evil.

However, in an unexpected place, the stratagem hits the brakes. This was because Saint Irowell objected, saying that it was not morally right.

What after… Just like I said with the saintess.

[Are you going to meet Nioh?]

The saintess asked as if she sensed something.

“uh? Did you manage to figure it out?”

[Because he is the only person in Masurim at this time. Well thought out. Nioh has nothing to interfere with the human world, so history won’t be twisted, and since he has excellent military power, it will be a great power if he is recruited. and… .]

“and?”

[Niwang-nim is a ‘man’. Whoop whoop-.]

Somewhere, the gloomy voice of a saint’s laughter enters my ears.

“… .”

What the hell made the Maria I knew like that? oh i did

hmm… .

From now on, I think I should bring in a female party in moderation.

Then, after meeting the saintess 300 years later, the saintess will become a chewing gum sticking to me all day long, very much.

*****

There is a wooden hut. It is not a hut that seems to have a special aesthetic sense. It is such a hut that pursues only practicality and simplicity.

Inside the hut, a middle-aged man is sitting idly. The beard is shaggy below the chin, and the skin of an animal is draped over the strong muscular body.

At night, its appearance is such that one would mistake it for a gorilla or other beast. However, unlike that savage appearance.

“love… do… .”

He was spitting out incoherent but clear ‘sentences’. It was the language of the people of the continent. It’s hard to hear from the monsters who live in the forest.

A silver cross was held in the hands of the barbarian. It is a cross with a soft light. The savage cherished it in his heart as if it were a treasure that could not be exchanged for anything in the world. On the chest covered with muscles and chest hair.

“today… hunt… .”

Even though there was obviously no one around, the savage muttered to himself and got up. The enormous tall body that closed up to the top of the hut stretched out.

It was a struggle to not forget the language and characters. It was a purpose that anyone who did not know the circumstances of the savages would never have thought of.

Kki-Ik-.

A poorly designed wooden door opens with vines and lumber. It was the moment when the huge savage crouched down and managed to get out of the small door and raised his head under the pouring sunlight.

“hello! Presenting comfortable and convenient revenge to those who dream of revenge all over the world! It’s called Oscar from ＜Moonlight Wolves Society＞! Right now I’m just a sales employee, but I’m an employee who will one day become the president of the ＜Moonlight Wolf Association＞!”

A man wearing a white suit, white hat and white mask appeared in front of the savage. The man spread his arms wide open and shouted something cheerful and resonant.
