The Money-Mad Holy Knight Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Necromancer (6)

'Park Ji-hun... he wouldn't be your child, would he?'

At the rocky mountain of a disputed territory near the border between the Garcian Kingdom and the Allied Nations. From this place, the overall flow of the disputed territory was clearly visible. Gilma examined the religious order from the borrowed body that the general had provided.

'Isn't the distance too far?'

The massive cathedral built above a gorge connected to the Demon Realm and cliffs. It was a location where one could observe the Garcian Kingdom to the north of the cathedral and the empire connected to the south. But the distance was too great.

'Does it even make sense that if I get closer here, the Pope would notice ?'

Gilma gazed at the cathedral from an imnse distance. She couldn't believe that the Pope, not being a monster, could sense locations spanning several territories away.

'Then again, what in this world actually makes sense?'

After all, hadn't the performance of the body the general provided far exceed human limitations? The body conscious of the dragon's eyes and the fairy's perception made distant places clear. Feeling the physical performance of that body, Gilma frowned.

'The general isn't in their right mind either.'

Though the general did care for the possessor as a fellow countryman, there was much suspicious about the general's actions. Probably they'd conducted human experints for decades.

'That's why I created a separate force, and they call it rebellion.'

Gilma was very dissatisfied with the current system dependent on the general. She attempted to build her own faction by cooperating with guild mbers. Ultimately, it fell through due to the general's firm opposition...

'I'll follow along, but the general is also a risk factor.'

She hadn't even heard whether Ji-hun would return later and research Divine Power bodies. While worrying like that, suddenly the cathedral gates opened.

'Ji-hun.'

A man with rough, chestnut-colored hair erged from outside the cathedral, and as if to see him off, the Pope and several others followed.

'If the Pope is even seeing him off, it seems Ji-hun has built up so reputation.'

He wasn't completely overshadowed by Erik's shadow.

'With your personality, you would have needed to be in a higher position to be satisfied. How frustrating it must be.'

Gilma wiped the corner of her eye. At that mont, the conversation began, and she concentrated her consciousness. The fairy's perception read the lip movents and began conveying aning like sound.

"If you just kill that hot-headed nature, wouldn't this fellow be fit to take the field?"

Park Ji-hun spoke to the young man beside the Pope—

'Isn't that Luke the Slayer?'

Gilma's eyes widened at that target. Wasn't the madman called the Red Madman Luke the Slayer? According to the information secured so far, that was the case.

'The records from the Demon Realm also confird it then.'

Luke, captured by Riferoze, wasn't in his right mind back then. But how was he now?

“Brother Du-sik, it doesn't work out as intended."

Neat speech, simple appearance. Unmistakably the image of a rural youth. Especially wearing the pure white priest's robes of the Astia Religious Order, he appeared like an ascetic studying scripture.

'If Ji-hun is trying to draw Luke in, then he's planning to enter the Labyrinth.'

Gilma first concentrated on the conversation. She couldn't approach, but she could watch and eavesdrop. For now, she was satisfied with that.

"Hehe, Luke. You too shall depart with them. For such is the Father's will."

When the Pope spoke kindly to Luke, Luke had a convulsion.

"Th, th—. Riferoze!!!"

Then Jang Du-sik smiled broadly.

"So you learned that Lady Rife's teachings are the best, huh?"

"Hehe, Du-sik speaks truly."

The Pope praised Jang Du-sik as an old man. His gaze seed like looking at a grown grandson. The Pope continued to Luke.

"Luke, Du-sik also once had anger managent disorder. But now it's been cured."

"Kuhehe! I'm managing my anger very well now. Rather, older brother is the problem!"

At those words, Gilma closed her eyes tightly.

'Ji-hun, you've been struggling so hard for soone to acknowledge you.'

A ca to mind—from anger managent disorder to managing anger well. The figure of Park Ji-hun, hiding among gangsters and sending various signals hoping soone would acknowledge him, felt poignant. When she opened her eyes again.

'That woman and the child.'

The original purpose of coming here ca to mind. The Pope asked toward Jang Du-sik, who was about to leave the cathedral.

"Is it truly your intention to make this woman a priest?"

Beside the Pope was a woman with a suggestive smile. A woman with a flippant smile, heavy makeup, and vulgarly exposed clothing stood out.

'Absolutely not Ji-hun's taste.'

Were they really handing such a woman directly to the order? Doubt arose.

"Hey, older brother said there were many experts here, right?"

"Du-sik, refrain from that manner of speech in front of Erik."

The Pope, whose head was spinning from Jang Du-sik's way of speaking, briefly held the back of his neck before continuing awkwardly.

"This too is purity. Phew. The child can grow in the order, but the woman cannot."

The reason was simple.

"The stains of the secular world are too deeply embedded. To wash them away, ti spent emptying the mind with the Demon Realm's janitors will be necessary."

In other words, it ant she would study faith at the monastery built before the Demon Realm. At those words, the woman clung to Jang Du-sik with a terrified face.

"Du-sik oppa? No, right?"

Then Jang Du-sik pushed her aside with a club and muttered.

"Hey, older brother said I'd die if I got caught being played. Sorry about that."

Then Jang Du-sik bowed deeply to the Pope.

"Your Holiness, I entrust you with my forr woman and her child."

Though his manner of speech remained like a street gangster's, sincerity was felt in his lowered head and proper posture. The Pope chuckled and bestowed a blessing upon Jang Du-sik, and he departed the cathedral, heading toward the Garcian Kingdom.

'It must be the woman and child from before possession.'

Having observed the situation thus far, Gilma tried to steady her mind. She shifted her gaze following Jang Du-sik's footsteps and discovered a foreign group at the end.

'Saint Erik, and Janson.'

She heard they disappeared near Peran, so why were they appearing near the kingdom? Behind them, tens of thousands of people were visible.

'What dangerous thing is Ji-hun being taken to do—.'

At that mont, Gilma felt an ominous sensation. She was at such a distant place that unless one possessed dragon eyes, it would be impossible to detect. Yet, she felt as if their eyes had t.

"Ma, hamr?"

It wasn't just a feeling. Suddenly, Saint Erik pulled out a hamr and struck the ground! And a few seconds later.

KABOOM!!!

The body Gilma inhabited exploded.
