Chapter 36 (1/2)
The Holy Demomination of War (Part 2)
Previous Chapter
Vulcan was so fed up with the situation
Because he thought he was training and hunting quietly without causing any hared into political affairs of others like this Vulcan felt frustrated
However, he had no other options
Thewas more powerful, and he also had plenty of back up
Although it washis inside boil, Vulcan felt he should listen to what Bellon had to say first
“What kind of job is it? By chance, it wouldn’t be the kind that would put ht?”
“Hm … A little?”
Dokgo Hoo cringed his face ied him earlier, he didn’t make any sudden move
Prior to the reed to let Vulcan lead all of the conversation
With a glance, Vulcan observed Dokgo Hoo’s displeased face and then said to Bellon,
“We are joining the denomination for the sake of our safety, but it seerave as soon as I join”
“No I’er involved With your level of skill, you should be able to handle it well, probably”
The word ‘probably’ was really rubbing Vulcan the wrong way Vulcan was about to ask again, but Bellon beat him to it and said,
“Between Ho-Gyung and I, we have a proxy duel that we are suppose to hold Ah, don’t bother thinking about what the duel is for since it has nothing to do with you guys”
“…”
“The thing is, we don’t have anyone to send as the proxy fighter So, I want one of you to enter the duel as hter”
Vulcan and Dokgo Hoo were joining the deno theht,
‘There is no bullshi+t that could top this Anyway, besides that, this is suppose to be the Holy Denomination of War, one of the three factions, yet they don’t have anyone that can go?’
Vulcan asked,
“I apologize for prying, but I cannot help but to ask The Holy Denomination of War has incredibly powerful top-notch warriors ast its members It is not easy to believe that the denomination does not have anyone that could enter the proxy duel”
“That sure is It’s understandable that you think it is not believable, but it is the truth I don’t have anyone in particular that I could send out to the proxy duel”
“Is there qualification criteria of some kind?”
“That’s right You are very quick on figuring things out”
Bellon put his hand toward his back, and a subordinate that was standing behind brought a new drink
“This isn’t the first tis like this happened between me and that bastard If I send so’s top 100 every time there is a quarrel, and if, by a rotten luck, the one I sent to the duel dies, my force will be eventually dio out and fight a full scale war like we reallydoesn’t want to waste his own subordinates He proposed a new o, the kind that would reduce bleeding on both sides”
“So, what you are saying is …”
“For the proxy duel, only the ones outside of the Golden Rankingtalents Also, I think the two of you are the ”
Bellon smiled
“Also, I don’t want to risk losing a rising talent aular members On the other hand, if it is you, even if you died, it is no-risk for me”
“You care deeply about your own subordinates It’s different from how you treat us”
“Of course They have been like my families for over a hundred years Also, they worshi+p our God Poith strong devotion Outsiders like you cannot be compared to our devoted subjects”
“Aren’t weus like outsiders”
“Of course you guys are outsiders You calculating bastards”
Bellon took a sip from the drink and continued,
“You two are bastards who rolled their brains and decided to join just to avoid the pouring rain Were you expecting us to treat you like brothers? Instead, let’s go with give-and-take”
Vulcan wanted to talk back at Bellon, but he didn’t have anything in particular to fire back at Bellon
It was true that they came to the denomination to avoid the threat of the order Also, they didn’t have any sense of devotion toward the denomination either
To put it bluntly, or to put it in a crass manner, they just wanted to use the denomination
Vulcan thought that even he wouldn’t have liked this if he was in Bellon’s position
‘I was assuood-will toward Horune, but it looks like I was mistaken’
It became apparent that Bellon allowed them to join because he had a use for them
Having arrived at this conclusion, Vulcan’s head cleared He actually felt better that Bellon was honest and said he can’t trust them
Vulcan actually thought this was ten ti politicians from Rubel Continent that schemed behind his back
Vulcan said to Bellon,
“Before I accept the proposal, I have so I want to ask”
“Go ahead”
“Since you said it is a give-and-take, I wish to get a definite answer about what I will be getting from this If one of us wins in the proxy duel, I would like you to guarantee our safety”
“I felt it a while before too, but you really are an i, I will certainly stop the Order of Virtue frouys Since both of you are Zenith levels, you will be spending a lot of tiate area I will be mindful to make it so you two can train safely in our protection”
“May I assurounds?”
“That’s right The deno areas This is to avoid unnecessary conflicts If one of you achieve a clean victory in the duel, ill accept you two as official members of the denomination and allow you two to train in our area However …”
Bellon’s burning eyes gazed upon on Vulcan and then Dokgo Hoo
“It is only when it is a clean victory A wishy-washy draw or defeat will void the entire promise No In fact, if you do not achieve a clean victory, you may also earn our fury toward you”
The aura froh to make even a First-Rate warrior to shi+ver in fear, but it didn’t have any particular io Hoo
Watching this, Bellon was actually impressed
‘These are rookies? Their strengths are unbelievable Of countless graduates ent through the Act 1, I don’t think I have seen these kind of talents …”
The rate of their groas so incredible that it made Bellon wonder if The Six were like this in their rookie days
Before he realized, he was already having thoughts of caution against the two piling up in his mind
“I understand The proxy duel … I will provide you with a certain victory”
“… Good Good As you know, my pride is quite important”
Having heard Vulcan’s answer, Bellon shook off his hts Bellon pretended to have an emotionless face and then stared at Vulcan
Vulcan made another proposal
“However, for the sake of a certain victory, there is a favor I would like to ask of you First, when is the proxy duel?”
“Exactly onereasonable, I will give it a good consideration”
“Archbishop, by chance, do you know about how Players get stronger?”
“Yes I do I heard that Players accu ht? It is a very convenient ability They can i about their techniques I don’t understand how they could be so pathetic when they have an ability like that
Bellon criticized Players as he clicked his tongue With bea eyes, Vulcan said to Bellon,
“That’s right It really is a convenient ability Of course, the growth that one can achieve through that ability is not the growth in quality It is just a half-way growth in quantity Still, when it corowth in a short period of time, there is no other ability that comes close to it”
“Get to the main point”
“Yes I’m also a Player, and I have that ability as well So, if you could show enerosity, I could use that ability to reach a new height in a short period of time”
“Generosity?”
“Yes Generosity”
Vulcan nodded and continued right away
“Just for ayou a 100 certain victory”
