Chapter 49 How to Stand Against the World (3)

Li-, light?

The Temple of G.o.ds Chief Holy Knight stuttered.

The brilliant white glow of light that emerged from the jewel subsided a little.

Then it got to a point where I didnt have to cover my eyes anymore.

What do you mean hes the Light?

Its as I just said Hes just Hes just the Light.

The lizardman magician cried.

I wasnt very confident in reading the lizardmans face, but I could at least recognize the expression that the lizardman was wearing. She was moved. Her snake-like eyes were filled with dews of tears.

Cant you see how dazzling this soul is?

I-, I dont know.

Why dont you know? Do you have problems with your eyes? Or is your brain the problem?

The Chief Holy Knight looked dispirited. The extent of his intelligence was suddenly being questioned.

No. I mean, I just dont know what you mean by the Light.

Ahhh.

The lizardman magician whimpered.

Then he quickly looked back at the Chief Holy Knight.

Thats why the idiots from the Temple of G.o.d are so!

Wha-, what?

Do you even know who youre looking at now? Hes the light! Why dont you know that, even when the light is so dazzling? Do you not have eyes? Do you not have a brain? Pure white Its not just an ordinary ray of light, The Light he exudes is pure white!

Li-, isnt a ray of light always white?

Ahhhh! This is why! My words cant go through to these crude humans!

The lizardman magician pounded her chest as she was annoyed. Boom boom. A little more irritating and she wouldve smacked his head instead, not her chest. Even the Chief Holy Knight felt it, so he cowered.

He who carries such a soul would never lie to us!

The lizardman magician strongly a.s.serted.

Even if he did lie, he wouldve been lying for our sake! O, foolish humans. Those with corrupted souls like you all should just simply obey him quietly. This man is the emissary of the Founding Emperor No. He must be the G.o.ddesss apostle!

The lizardman magician looked at me.

Her gaze seemed as if she was seeking for my recognition.

It wasnt just the magician. The entire army that gathered at the Acacia Fields held their breaths and looked at me.

Yes.

I folded my arms proudly.

Thats right.

With my utmost solemn expression.

I, am the apostle of the G.o.ddess.

I knew it!

Roaring.

The soldiers all around started chattering. Following the General of the Empire, even the magician from the Mermaid Falls guaranteed my ident.i.ty. Three men talking makes a tiger(). Even if the tiger didnt exist, the way those three said it, it would seem as if there really was a tiger.

[T/N: It is a Korean Idiom, and basically means that if rumors are repeated continuously, they will become a fact.]

Apparently hes the Light.

What do you mean Light?

It seems that hes a dazzling Light. The swords also flashy too

Its a sword that the Emperor of Aegim or something once used.

Then that means hes a n.o.ble that came from a prestigious family somewhere.

Most of the soldiers were suspicious when they first saw the Holy Protection Sword. But now their gazes changed, and it looked like they were exclaiming, No way?.

Of course, one more person was still needed to achieve the effect of three men talking makes a tiger.

No! As expected, Im not sure!

The Chief Holy Knight stepped forward.

Lets say you are the emissary of the Founding Emperor and also light itself! But why is that young man I mean, why did such a person march here by himself, and why is he blocking our way?! Have you all forgotten? We have a mission!

The Chief Holy Knight adamantly pointed to the place beyond my shoulder.

We must burn that place!

Estelles hometown.

That was the paradise that the vengeful ghost had talked about.

His Holiness, the Pope was not only concerned about the witch. The heretics who followed the witch! We cant let them get away from receiving divine punishment! If you are truly the apostle of the G.o.ddess, take the lead in carrying out the heavenly punishment!

.

Aughh. Someone grabbed the hem of my clothes from behind. It was the vengeful ghost. I could feel that she was terrified without even looking back.

Its all right.

I folded my arms calmly.

The best lies are in other words, made up of 90% truth, and 10% lie!

Recalling the advice given by Bae Hu-ryeong, I slowly opened my mouth.

Holy Knights of the Temple of G.o.d. Watch your language. It is not up to you to decide how the divine punishment should be executed. Whatever punishment that is given to the evil group, is entirely up to me.

What are you?

I have collected all evil (), and divine punishment has already been carried out.

I said gently.

It is my duty to bring divine punishment to man.

Du-, what do you mean duty?

Ill show you.

I raised my right hand.

Wriggle.

In an instant, my shadows spread throughout the Acacia field.

-Guoooooooo!

Skeletons began crawling out of the shadows.

The soldiers screamed. The Chief Holy Knight turned pale while he contemplated, and the other commanders were so surprised that they armed themselves. In the meantime, the number of skeletons had risen from dozens to hundreds, and from hundreds to thousands.

Before they knew it, the Continents army was completely surrounded.

Hundred Ghosts Reincarnation.

Skeletons numbering around four thousand rose.

-Guooooooo!

-Uwoooo! Uwoooooooooo!

The monsters cried ferociously and waited for my orders.

As one could see from the fact that the vengeful ghost was out in the open, I still had the [Hundred Ghosts Reincarnation] in active mode. I could summon as many ghosts as I wanted.

But it was a different story for the Continents army who didnt know what was going on.

Agh, its the devils!

The soldiers were thrown into confusion at the sight before them. Four thousand monsters suddenly popped out all over. And the monsters emerged from the ground as if they were climbing out from h.e.l.l.

It was literally a scene from the purgatory().

Go- Oh almighty G.o.d.

The Chief Holy Knight trembled.

What the h.e.l.l are these horrendous beings?

Its my duty.

I placed my hand on the vengeful ghosts head.

The vengeful ghost flinched but she remained quiet.

Look. How can this witch be the only evil being in this vast world? Every one of these ghosts are wicked evildoers that I have subdued. Devils, second only to the witch.

Al-, all these monsters?

Thats correct.

I stared at the distant sky with my squinted eyes.

As if I was a hero that was doomed to have a tragic destiny.

The G.o.ddess ordered me. Punish the overflowing evil that has corrupted the world on her behalf! Punish and subdue! Thats why she bestowed me with this ability.

My voice naturally became somber.

It is my calling, my mission to bring down all the evil in the world. Its my duty to drag these devils to h.e.l.l. What you guys are seeing right now is my h.e.l.l.

Oh my G.o.d

The lizardman magician lamented.

Tears were flowing again from her eyes.

These are all wicked evildoers who were comparable to the witch?

I nodded.

Thats right.

With-, without us knowing Was the G.o.ddesss apostle by himself, alone, bringing down punishment to the evil that was rampant in this world???

Thats right.

Oh my G.o.d. No one even recognized apostle-nim How could you have such a h.e.l.l? How can you, whos nothing more than a mere human being, by yourself. Oh G.o.ddesss Apostle, will you be alright?

Mmm.

With my arms folded, I nodded.

This is my duty!

Seriously, earnestly, and solemnly.

There is no need for you all to punish the witch separately. There is also no need to punish the witchs p.a.w.ns. I have already subdued all who are wicked. These evildoers will grieve and suffer in agony forever under my shadow. That is to say that I am their h.e.l.l!

AhO holy light!

The lizardman magician fell to pieces as she sobbed.

How did I not realize how holy and white your light was? the foolish me has finally perceived your light! Without our knowing, youve continued to save our Continent without rest!

I nodded again.

Indeed so!

The greatest lies consist of 90% truth and 10% lie.

Although the process was filled with a series of lies, the ending was correct.

In fact, since the end result was right, it wouldnt matter, right?

-You son of a

Bae Hu-ryeong had a proud expression on his face.

-I see that theres nothing more I can teach you! Be on your way now!

Oh, everything was thanks to your advice, master. How could this unworthy pupil be on his way.

-No, no, no. Zombie, your immorality has already transcended mine.

Bae Hu-ryeong lamented while sighing.

-This master of yours is as innocent as a child, so I just cant handle a son of a b.i.t.c.h like you.

Youre too humble. I still have a lot to learn from masters vicious personality. Take your words back.

-You b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Have you ever heard of Cheongchul Eoram?

[T/N: Cheongchul Eoram ()is an Idiom that is used when the student surpa.s.ses the master.]

Have you ever heard that no disciple is better than their master?

The disciple and master praised each others character.

On a day like today, when relations.h.i.+ps were being ruined.

But actually, it was a beautiful and warm scene discretely unfolding.

-Anyway.

I deactivated the Hundred Ghosts Reincarnation.

Fwoooshh.

The four thousand skeletons disappeared in an instant. The Continents army stared dumbfoundedly at the sight of the monsters being absorbed under my shadow as if a s.h.i.+p were sinking.

You all dont need to worry about the witch and her p.a.w.ns. As long as I am here, they will suffer forever in my h.e.l.l. This is the will of the G.o.ddess, and this is the divine punishment of the G.o.ddess.

..

Do you really intend to reject the dignified will of the G.o.ddess?

The Chief Holy Knight staggered.

If-, if I may ask o holy Apostle. Truly, are you sure these atrocious devils are secured? What this humble one is trying to say is If these devils were to escape out into the world, the harm caused would be beyond our imagination

Indeed.

I carefully nodded.

You basically want to confirm if these devils are truly imprisoned by me.

I beg your pardon, but that is correct.

Alright.

Thud!

I snapped my finger.

Then a skeleton came out. It was the one whose summon had not been dispelled yet. It stood tall between me and the Chief Holy Knight.

Shocked, the Chief Holy Knight took a few steps back.

A-, Oh holy Apostle. Why is this skeleton?

Ill clear your suspicions properly.

I patted the Skeleton on the shoulder.

Oh Hundred Ghosts, regain your memories.

Wiggle!

Wastewater rose up from the shadow of the skeleton. The wastewater, which had climbed up the white bones, was shaped in the form of the skeleton. It formed the muscle. It formed the flesh. It formed the clothes.

In the blink of an eye, instead of the bony skeleton, a handsome man had appeared.

Urghhhh! Wha-, what the! the f.u.c.k!?

He was a handsome guy with a dirty mouth.

What the h.e.l.l Ugh, man, you son of a b.i.t.c.h! What kind of resentment did you have towards me that you put me in this state? f.u.c.k me! What the h.e.l.l did I even do?!

A fiery glance.

Thats correct.

I returned the memory of the Flame Emperor Yoo Soo-ha.

You crazy son of a b.i.t.c.h! Ill kill you! How dare you, you trash-like motherf.u.c.ker! Ill f.u.c.king kick your a.s.s no matter what happens!

As you can see.

Holding on to Yoo Soo-has shoulder, I looked back at the commanding officers. Yoo Soo-ha tried to move his limbs, but it was useless. Because it was impossible for him to defy me no matter what he did, as I was his Master.

This man was also an evil man that was comparable to the witch.

I had a bitter look on my face.

No, I can say that he was more evil than the witch. The witch was born a monster from the beginning, but this man was born a human, but he did all sorts of evil and terrible things. He burned anything that got in his way

Ill kill you! Im going to kill you!

There was no need for further explanation.

Fuc-,! Hey! Ill tear you to shre,-!!

Sounds of curses resonated in the Acacia field. One of the Hundred Ghosts, Yoo Soo-ha opened his mouth and spewed out all kinds of curses that could have existed in this world.

As the swearing continued, the commanders faces turned pale. Less than 60 seconds later, Yoo Soo-ha described as many as 15 ways to kill me. It was absurd.

No wait, f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, and who the h.e.l.l are these people! Hey, lizard! Pointy ears! What are you looking at? Do you guys want to be f.u.c.ked up by me so.

Sixty more seconds later, he started cursing not just me, but everyone else that was here. A little later, he even cursed the parents and family of the people present. He then listed about 10 more methods of how he would kill all those people.

Su-, such a disgusting! Such darkness!

The lizardman magician was shocked.

I dont even have to use the Queens jewel. That man, he really has the devils soul!

Certainly

The Elf Ranger Captain groaned.

Ive seen a lot of foolish humans over the years, but Its been a long time since Ive seen such a disgusting and evil man.

Oooh.

Rejoice, Yoo Soo-ha.

Finally, your greatness was recognized, moreover, it happened in this world itself.

-Hey zombie. Arent you desecrating the dead?

Thats right.

-Isnt that a little too much?

Even if I did this, it was a cheap punishment for Yoo Soo-ha. Besides, Mr. Sword Emperor. You said I was the Zombie king. The Zombie King wants to bully a zombie-like b.a.s.t.a.r.d, is there anything wrong with that?

-Ummm.

Bae Hu-ryeong nodded agreeably.

-After listening to you, youre actually right. Logically, I cant refute that.

Right?

-As expected, Zombie, your immorality is way beyond me.

That was just his opinion.

Thud!

I snapped my finger once again.

Dance.

What, Fuc-, what the-

As soon as I gave my orders, Yoo Soo-ha began tap dancing. Yoo Soo-has heels tapped merrily on the flowery path. Tack, tack tack! Yoo Soo-has dance was quite skillful as if he had his share of fun going to clubs back in his old days.

No, this, wai-, wait!? What is this? f.u.c.k

Continue dancing.

Tack!

Yoo Soo-has dance changed from tap dancing to Jitterbug. For better or worse, he had a talent for dancing. After he finished dancing Jitterbug, he immediately started to do the Kazatsky dance.

[T/N: Jitterbug is like South Koreas twist on Tango.]

Im going to kill you!

Yoo Soo-ha cried out as he danced the Kazatsky dance.

Ki-, Ill kill you! Son of a b.i.t.c.h! You, f.u.c.ker, you! You dare, to me! I must!

As he was speaking, he kept on dancing the Kazatsky dance.

As anyone present could see for themselves, what he said while dancing the Kazatsky dance was not scary at all, no matter how dirty or appalling the curses were.

Even if Hitler came back to life and began talking, no one would take him seriously if he was dancing the Kazatsky dance.

Thats the power of the Kazatsky dance.

Fu-, f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k!

Could Yoo Soo-ha also feel the power of the Kazatsky dance?

Realizing that nothing worked, Yoo Soo-ha just kept cursing and saying f.u.c.k. And he enthusiastically focused on the dance steps. It was fantastic background music and a fantastic scene.

Mmmm.

I looked at the Chief Holy Knight.

Are you still worried?

The Chief Holy Knight opened but didnt say anything.

The devils can never disobey my orders. Rest a.s.sured.

In the end.

The Chief Holy Knight gradually kneeled down.

Oh Apostle of the G.o.ddess May I ask for your name?

He had spoken in a quivering voice.

Everyone from the Continents army was looking at me.

I accepted their stares with pride and folded my arms again.

My name is Gong-ja.

The Chief Holy Knight bowed his head.

I will follow your orders, Gong-ja-nim!

The commander, who cried out and insisted till the end to burn the village, gave up the attack.

Then.

[Congratulations.]

A pleasant voice was heard.

[Normal Stage Clear.]

[Hidden Quest, Warrior of the Paused World has been cleared!]

There was also a voice that was unwelcoming.

-Again, you crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

The voices owner rolled around frustratingly.

-Crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Youre probably the first one to clear a quest like this! No, its definitely the first! Wow, where did this crazy dude crawl out from? Hey, I gotta admit it! Kim Gong-ja!

What do you admit?

-You arethe Light of all idiots!

It was an irrelevant opinion.
