The Buyeo County Office…
Until a few days ago, this place was like another hell. The believers of Messiah chose the Buyeo County Office as the place to hold their slaves. To put it simply, thousands of slaves spent the night piled up like boxes in rooms under the Buyeo County Office.
“There! Block the way there! Block the road!”
“Let’s build a camp in that building. Come on! We have a lot to do!”
It was another look of Hell, and what explanation was needed? Even when they slept, they had to bear death.
But now, around the Buyeo County Office, there was a power that was not suitable for Hell, and that was vitality.
“Do it right! This is not the reserve training!”
The origin of vitality was the slaves of the Messiah who had lived because they had not been able to die, until a few days ago.
“Be sure to take your ammunition! Make it more valuable than your life!”
Even now, what they were doing with vitality was preparation for war. It was not easy.
‘Preparing for war is, in other words, preparing one’s own grave and graveyard. It is not a job for slaves, who have been exploited until they die because they are afraid to die, to prepare.’
It was an incredibly dramatic change. Of course, there was a reason.
“The fortification work is almost done, and once we hold on after the bombardment, we’ll play games in the street.”
The Savior had appeared before them, who had only despair. The Savior did his miracle by suppressing the Messiah who had persecuted and exploited them overnight, and he told those who gathered without stopping there, “Let’s fight against those who call themselves the Messiah. Let’s not be their slaves, but become fighting warriors! And then I would be happy to be your Messiah!”
Everyone was surprised at the shout because the Savior was a white-skinned woman with blue eyes who spoke English.
“We’re all ready to fight, and now you just have to give us your orders.”
‘I’m crazy.’ Kate Kennedy, she became a Savior. She was to play the Savior, to be exact.
‘I’m crazy.’ The beginning of the story was a particularly warm night.
5.
On a warm night, Kim Tae-hoon told Kate. “From now on, I will use Messiah to catch Messiah.”
“I don’t think I really understood, unless you misinterpreted the English expression, or it’s a saying.”
“We’re building a new Savior group that denies the Messiah here, which is to say, a cult.”
He said he would use the bait of a cult to lure the Messiah group into Buyeo.
“Do you think that will work?”
“There’s nothing more threatening than a cult to those who use religion as a weapon.”
“I understand..”
“Think of ISIS. They destroyed the relics thousands of years old because they were the remains of heresy.”
“Ah.”
“They’ll send a strong fighting power in order to punish us as an example, not just for punishment.”
She was able to understand his plan enough. That was all.
“Well, it wouldn’t be hard for you to be Messiah. If you come down from heaven like Superman and wield a ray sword like the Jedi in Star Wars, one or two out of ten will serve you as a Savior on the spot.”
She thought she had no room for herself in his plan, and she didn’t want to get in the way of the plan.
“No, you’re Messiah.” However, he put her in his plan.
“What?”
“You’re the one who’s going to be Messiah.”
“What?” It was ridiculous, and she needed some time to understand it. “You’re crazy…”
And as soon as she understood his words, she tried to express her surprise in the loudest voice she could. But her cry never reached the mountain. “Eup! Eup!”
He had shut her mouth with his Telekinesis.
“Be quiet.” After that short warning, he released his Telekinesis, and she said in a low voice. “Are you crazy? You want me to be a Savior of the people here?”
“There is no reason you can’t be.”
“I’m not like you! I don’t fly like you! I’m an American! I’m not a Korean!”
“It doesn’t matter who the Savior or God is anyway, and it doesn’t matter how you plan and how you run it.”
“What the Hell…”
As her voice was about to rise again, he tapped his index finger on her mouth. She lowered her voice again.
“Why the Hell should I do that? You’re better off playing the Savior than I am.”
“This is an operation to lure. The bait is the bait, and the fisherman is the fisherman. If the fisherman is caught by a hook, he can’t fish.”
“I don’t like fishing. I don’t want to get involved. I’m a hostage, as you say. Have you ever seen a hostage play a Savior?” Of course, she didn’t want to test her acting talent in this place.
“I’ll cancel your debt when it’s over.”
“I’m only in debt… What?”
“You’ll act as a Savior, and when it’s all over, I’ll cancel some of the debt of Monster Stones.”
However, he was serious enough to propose a deal with her.
Monster Stones were a new necklace that he put on her neck. It was worth more than just its value.
“Is this so important?”
“If we leave the Messiah like this, their territory will extend beyond Chungcheong Province to Jeolla Province.”
When he first heard about the Messiah organization, he frankly looked down on them. Like the Messiahs that he has met so far, he thought that what they did in a world that was ruined by the emergence of monsters was a garbage group that picked the word, Messiah.
However, the Messiah organization in Chungcheong Province was completely different from the previous Messiah organization. They had made themselves a religious group, and they were using the element of mystery well.
“When that happens, we won’t even be able to take the root.”
Crucially, there was a very powerful relic in their hands.
The Messiah religion, which usually produced miraculous results, would surely turn the grass black, like wildfire after it spread across the plains.
“I can’t wait to get people like ISIS out of my territory, because monsters are a pain in the ass. Above all, this is our only chance. Now that they haven’t expanded their force, it’s the only chance for a roundup.”
He did not want to see his own fires burning in the flames that had spread so much, because seeing terrible results was already something he had to put up with from the visions of Napoleon’s Golden Glass.
She did not say any more to his face. Instead, she was anguished about what she had to do and what she could get.
“…what exactly do I do?”
“To play the Savior, try to protect the people in Buyeo.”
“And?”
“That’s all you have to do, and I’ll do it.”
“If I do the right thing, how many will you cancel?”
He asked in return, “How many do you want?”
“If this is the case… I’ll need at least fifty reds, or a hundred.”
He replied with a meaningful smile to her proposal. “I’ll give you one hundred.”
6.
She stopped recalling and sighed. ‘I’m crazy.’
She made a deal with him and eventually became a Savior. In fact, when she accepted the offer, she thought it would be easy. All she had to do was play the Savior on the stage prepared by him.
She thought it was too easy to play the Savior. But it didn’t take long to realize that the idea was a mistake. The moment she started acting the Savior, the moment she saw those who cried and thanked her like children, and then when she saw those who were willing to die at her command, she realized that it was not acting on stage, but a real thing.
It was the same now. In a little while, the Messiah soldiers approaching the vicinity of Buyeo would begin attacking. A real and terrible war would begin. She had no intention of acting as a Savior in the war.
“I should have known when he smiled when I said I would need a hundred.”
She would not be a Savior, but now she would fight to protect those who believed in her as a Savior and willingly devoted their life to her. It was the least courtesy to give to those who were prepared to die and prepared for war after being deceived by her acting.
And that was why he canceled expensive debts in return for her Savior’s acting. He knew better than anyone what it meant to play the Savior and how hard it was.
So he was convinced when he heard that he had to cancel a hundred monster stones from her debt in exchange for acting as a Savior. She still did not know what the world was like.
Bang! A single gunshot passed over her head and fell over the Buyeo County Office.
“Aaaaaaargh!” A scream of pain and fear began to rise.
The atmosphere of the Buyeo County Office became a mess.
“It’s a gunshot! Avoid shelling!”
“Keep your position! Sooner or later, the Guardians will come in to clean up! You can’t just let them in!”
Those who survived in the mess, now serving her as Messiah, burned with the will to fight. She looked at them and clenched her teeth. If she hadn’t played the Savior, they would have been slaves, but they wouldn’t have been threatened.
‘It’s my fault.’ She could not be free from blame for their deaths. Of course, she had an obligation. She had to do her best to save a few more people. She held the hilt of the Gandol Sword in her waistband.
‘Ten minutes, I’ll hold on for ten minutes somehow, as you said.’
It was the moment she realized the changed world.
7.
“Fire!”
“Fire!
Buyeo intersection…
A dozen mortars lined up on the intersection of Buyeo Bridge, which crossed the Geum River and then Buyeo.
Boom! Boom!
The sequentially popping fires fell over the Buyeo County Office after making a one-kilometer parabola.
After a long journey, the faint sound of the shells reached the intersection of Buyeo.
“We have nothing to do.”
“There was nothing to do in the first place. At best, some slaves rebelled; it’s not necessary for all the Guardians to be here, and there was no reason for the Messiah to come.”
The Guardians with the Stigmata made sad expressions at the sound. The expression was the same on the face of the Guardians who commanded the soldiers.
“Stop shelling.”
One of the Guardians who stopped the artillery bombs swung his right hand.
“Finish them.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers with the guns that were waiting started running toward the Buyeo County Office.
“Let’s move.”
At the same time, twenty Guardians, who had been waiting, slowly unwound and began to follow the path the soldiers had taken. Twenty Guardians were like the hammer to a nail. They wanted to trample down any bit of resistant spirit the slaves might have.
“It’ll be clear in about an hour.”
“Will it take an hour?”
Normal people couldn’t do anything against the superhuman Guardians, let alone rebelling, or even run away, because there was no pig in the world that could escape from cheetahs.
“Well, if we enjoy it, we’ll be there in an hour.”
“Well… I haven’t been hunting human beings in a while, and I would have applied if I’d known this.”
“It’s fun to rape the runaway bitches.”
“You fucking pervert.”
“It’s more like a normal taste, as opposed to someone who breaks the legs of two men and has them fight each other.”
Of course, as soon as they left, all the Guardians who were looking at the scene resolved the little tension they had.
‘It’s over.’ There was no reason to be nervous anymore.
“Get back.” But a woman’s voice tightened the tension of the Guardians who had relaxed.
Park In-young.
Their eyes headed to her together, who was called Messiah rather than by name.
‘No way!’
‘Oh, my God…’
Park In-young, who was reflected in their eyes, held the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje with both hands. Everyone knew what it meant.
“Do you need to use the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje?” One of them spoke to her with courtesy. She did not answer. Instead, she began to inject her Mana into it.
Woo-woo-woong!
The Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje, stoked by her Mana, began to emit a fascinating golden light. After a while, the golden smoke began to flow through the hole in the incense burner.
Gulp! The Guardians who saw the scene swallowed without exception.
‘She is going to send it over.’
This was the case with the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje. Although they were allies, they could only get goosebumps in front of the outcome.
The Guardians, who had seen its destruction and scenes that made the weak cry after the work of the terrible monsters, were forced to be nervous at this moment.
At the same time, they focused. As if remembering a miracle to be remembered forever, they stared at her and the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje in her hands.
Soon, when the golden smoke from the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje rose to her knees, she opened her eyes.
Took, Took! It was at that moment that an object of the perfect size to grab in the hand fell from the sky.
‘Hmm?’
‘Huh?’
‘What is it?’
No one was surprised at the sudden appearance of an object, because no one knew what it was.
Could anyone be surprised to see something they do not know?
Of course, they paid attention to find out what had fallen from the sky. Fortunately, it did not take long to identify it.
Toot! It was only a short time to realize that it was a flashbang that spewed out intense flashes and burst their eardrums.
“Aaaaaargh!”
“Oh, my God!”
The two flashbangs paralyzed the sight and hearing of the crowd in a moment.
It wasn’t over there.
“Ugh—”
“Retch!”
The physical impact was not great when the flashbangs blew, but the impact on their eyes and auditory damage were worse than any physical shock.
There were screams and struggling without blood. “Ugh!”
Park In-young was not protected. She was closest to the flashbang, and she fell back under the explosive force that occurred when it exploded. At that moment, she dropped the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje. However, she could not hear it fall to the ground.
Whi-rik! Instead of falling to the ground, it was sucked into the hands of a man standing on the middle of the road divider. Kim Tae-hoon had finally caught the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje.
‘I finally got one of the things on the wish list.’
Of course, he looked at the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje that came into his hands with black Eyes.
=========
[The Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje]
– Relic Grade: Grade 1
– Relic Value: Normal
– Relic Effect: It summons a creature made of smoke. The color of the monster stones you have eaten affects the type of creature you can summon.
=========
At that moment, he was forced to admire in front of the relic in his hand.
Part of the heritage of the brilliant kingdom, Baekje, the splendor of this relic, worthy of being picked up by hand, was beautiful and dignified enough to make him, who was ignorant of archeology, fall into it.
Moreover, the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje was not a simple golden object in the Eyes of Black Snake.
‘… it was worth putting on the wish list.’
Taoist hermits, musicians, flying animals, wild animals, the Phoenix standing on the top of the incense burner, and the dragon carrying cintamani with its mouth, all filled the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje, are shining bright with rainbow colors on each.
‘This is the first time a relic looked down on me.’
While he was so enchanted by this relic he had not seen before, one or two people began to wake up from the impact of the flashbang. Their recovery was faster than he had anticipated.
“Ugh… what the hell…”
“Flashbang! Someone used a flashbang!”
Those with the strong physical ability and high Energy rank recovered and saw Kim.
“There, there! there!”
They immediately showed some fighting spirit to him.
“He has the incense burner!”
“Stop him! Stop him from running!”
“Kill him!”
Their fighting spirit began to fly all over the place like arrows. However, he did not respond to it. Instead, he pointed to one place with a chin, and several people instinctively turned their heads toward the tip of his chin.
Whinny!
Only those who turned their heads saw the horse made of clay, and a warrior made of clay atop the horse.
