The Returner Wants Complete Victory

36 – 036. Revelation

Bung─ Bung─

Flail’s head rotated and made a menacing wind noise.

An attack that started with Hyril’s suppression.

After striking Flail’s head accurately with the spear blade, Hyril did not approach too hastily and was slowly circling around me like this.

“Shouldn’t you help me?”

“Staying still helps.”

Bo-kyung spoke in a restless voice, and Noah accepted it indifferently.

That’s true, but it’s strangely offensive.

widely!

At that moment when I briefly lost my breath, the hilt of the flail came into contact with the pole of the spear.

As soon as I saw it, I instinctively lowered my head.

Boom─

Flail’s weight passed over the bowed head, cutting through the wind.

As the opponent twisted his wrist, the header that passed by turned downward and aimed at my face again, and I widened the distance by pushing the opponent away with the spear.

“Do you know how to fight?”

Hyril muttered that with a still smiling face.

I snorted inwardly.

Although we were close friends in the first round, there were more than ten battlefields where we had our backs to that woman.

What I’m saying is that I’ve been sick of seeing how a tricky weapon called a flail moves and how that woman uses that weapon.

“It seems like the weapons are better than expected.”

bang!

Flail’s weight was swung again and bounced off with the shaft of the spear.

It was a smile that looked the same, but I could read the confusion in that expression.

Even though he is superior in strength and speed, he cannot overpower his opponent.

This means that we are lagging behind in technology.

I admit that and try to destroy the weapon, but that ordinary-looking creation car shows no signs of being broken at all.

My snout read that sign and taunted at will.

“It’s good. “It’s the worst product sold at the blacksmith shop.”

“You tell a funny joke. “Then it should have broken a long time ago.”

“I guess your skills are worse than I thought.”

Wow─

As I finished speaking, Flail’s head trembled slightly and made a sound.

Soon, a flail filled with blue energy flew towards my head.

Kwaaang!

The sound of gunpowder exploding echoed through the space.

An unbelievable roaring sound made by steel meeting steel.

“The spear is covered with mana? “It’s so thin you can’t even see it.”

Hyril’s smiling face suddenly calmed down.

The natives of Proa have a different way of becoming strong than those from Earth.

Unlike Earthlings who become stronger through some kind of expedient means of training, achievements, and missions, Proans only become stronger through training.

There is an inherent difference between those of us born on Earth without mana and those born in a world where mana exists.

It is safe to say that they are a completely different species, except that they have the same shell.

The astonishment that Hyril feels originates from there.

One who has dealt with mana all his life, and the other who must have awakened his magical powers three years ago at most.

The self who understands and manipulates mana, and the opponent who manipulates magical power through an expedient called the status window.

But why is the opponent more knowledgeable about mana than you?

This time, I took the opposite approach and stabbed Hyril in thinking differently.

For a split second so brief that it was difficult to recognize, the space in front of Hyril’s eyes was distorted, and Hyril succeeded in pulling his head back in a reaction close to instinct.

Quang!

“Tsk!”

Hyril stumbled slightly, probably shocked by the explosion that exploded right in front of him.

Quang! bang!

A series of explosions occurred around her body one after another.

I fired my magic as if I had no intention of missing this opportunity, and Hyril crouched down and focused on defense.

Just crouching like that for a while.

Hwaak─

The flail that appeared through the smoke of the explosion swung towards me.

Wow!

As I did the first time, I hit the flail with my spear.

However, unlike the first time when Hyril backed off and kept me in check, he followed me like a mad dog.

bang! An explosion occurred near her temple, and the impact threw her head to the side.

However, Hyril’s flail presses on me, hitting the spear pole without wavering.

Her hair was singed and her clothes were tattered, but her skin was perfectly fine, without a single trace of redness.

It was an understandable skill that he already had two wings stuck to his ears.

Whoops!

The flail and the spear met.

A simple struggle of power.

However, since my side was clearly inferior in strength, I felt my fingertips trembling slightly.

“We met in such an unexpected place that I couldn’t remember it right away.”

On the other hand, Hyril had regained his usual smile.

“You are the Irregular the Cardinal was talking about.”

Quang!

Before Hyril could finish speaking, a huge explosion occurred.

“ah… . “Are you a rude person?”

Hyril, who bounced for a while and rolled on the floor, stood up, shaking off the dust.

I was lost in thought while looking at that scene.

To what extent is it permissible?

How much clues can I give Irene?

In the tutorial, he showed movements that an ordinary person from Earth would not have been able to do.

When I broke Raven’s head, I openly called out Romune.

Of course, the contents of the conversation with Baektapju would have reached the ears of the Celestial Church priests.

Since Hyril even heard what I said in front of the ruins, he must have realized that I know more about this world than just receiving power from somewhere.

Write it─.

Isn’t it stupid to not know this much?

Even if you try to hide it, it doesn’t seem like it will be hidden?

“It’s difficult. Don’t disturb the Mavericks, protect the thoughts of the old gods at the ruins… . There are conflicting orders. What should I do? .”

Likewise, Hyril was also frowning as if he was in pain.

I was able to figure out a lot from that short sentence.

Don’t disturb me—doesn’t this mean that Irene is still confused as to whether I am an enemy or an ally?

Wouldn’t it be better to just close your eyes and go out shamelessly?

“Can I help you with that decision?”

As I said that, I aimed the tip of the spear, which was pointing at the floor, at Hyril again.

Hyril saw that and laughed softly.

“You don’t have to do that. “I have just made a decision.”

After saying that, Hyril also raised his flail again.

Revelation is inherently ambiguous.

This is true even when looking at records from the past thousands of years.

It is full of all kinds of metaphorical expressions, so depending on how you interpret it, you can come up with completely different conclusions.

It’s so confusing that you often end up thinking, ‘Oh, I must have misinterpreted it at the time’ after some time has passed.

That was the original revelation.

“A revelation has come.”

A pure white temple.

White walls, white tables, white clothes.

In an all-white conference room, an old man with gray hair opened his mouth.

Four wings symbolizing the Pope were embedded in the corners of his shoulder cloak.

“Estis, Croza, Yumari, Kirnyu. It is a revelation to build temples and spread the doctrine of Proa in these four border cities in the kingdom of Euphrines.”

At the old man’s words, the expressions on the faces of those filling the conference room slightly soured.

Since when did revelation cease to be revelation?

If that content was also from the past – Shine a handful of lamps on a place where the sun does not shine, where the shadow is in contact… . I guess I said it in a twisted way like this.

Then, there would have been differences of opinion even among the priests who interpreted it.

It means to rescue the poor, because the shadow is a metaphor for the chimera, it means to send aid to the border city, and because there are irreverent groups within the church, it means to find them… .

And each person would have followed what they believed and expressed their thoughts.

Someone would have taken care of the poor, someone would have sent aid to border cities, and someone would have gone out to search for the irreverent group lurking in secret within the religious order.

However, there is no room for interpretation in the revelation that came this time.

Rather, as if to avoid any misunderstanding, the revelation came with the exact place name included.

Doesn’t this seem closer to the relationship between a king and a bureaucrat than a god and a priest?

The meeting would soon end as the time for interpreting revelations, which should have been the most time spent, was gone.

Because it wasn’t their job to make detailed plans.

As expected, the meeting ended in less than 30 minutes.

As they stood up one by one and left, the Pope called someone over.

“Cardinal Idor.”

At the Pope’s call, the man in black robes who was sitting at the end of the conference room turned his head.

“Yes, His Holiness the Pope.”

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

At the Pope’s call, Idor took a step forward.

“What’s going on?”

Despite the question from Idor standing next to him, the Pope remained silent for a long time.

Sweet.

Only after making sure that everyone except the two had left the conference room and the door was closed did the Pope open his mouth.

“Temple of Jamanoir near Kirnyu. “Who did you send there?”

“We have sent a senior nun to Eraeshi in Hyril.”

“Right. In fact, one more revelation has come.”

The Pope tapped the desk as if he was in pain and continued speaking.

“The Maverick who was active during the last Emur attack… “Well, he appeared at Jamanoir’s temple.”

From noble mtl dot com

The Pope frowned as if he did not like the word ‘Irregular’.

“Well. “This is unfortunate.”

The man said with an expression that did not mean that at all.

“Aren’t you curious about what happened to your precious subordinate?”

“Are you dead?”

Despite the Pope’s mischievous question, the man still had no expression on his face.

When the Pope saw that, he clicked his tongue and continued speaking.

“That doesn’t seem to be the case. But Izra seems to be upset that I disturbed that man.”

It’s funny.

Izura, have you ever cared this much about a specific individual?

Popes, saints, and saints, who are considered closest to God, have not received this much attention.

Even if you look through thousands of years of records left in the church, this is unprecedented.

To put it mildly, the Pope was suspicious that Izra might have been replaced by someone else these days.

“When the senior nun at Erae City returns, send it to the man.”

“Is it a revelation?”

“You are there. He told me to get a helper who could help the man. Wouldn’t it be better to send someone you know rather than send someone you have no connection with? “Just make it up to you and put it on.”

“yes. As an apology, help him as a disciplinary measure. “I will convey it that way.”

The Pope waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

Idor bowed politely and walked out of the conference room.

Why do I, the Pope, have to do something like this?

He was not the benevolent old man he dreamed of as a child, nor was he the possessor of absolute power he had seen during his time as a cardinal.

A parrot that simply delivers God’s commands.

The Pope lamented his situation.
