Chapter 694 - Prestigious Summit 3 (2/2)

As he was confused, Luke said, “Did you know that there are martial arts training going on among the priests of Mars?”

“I know. I am practicing martial arts as it is my desire to resemble God. So the priests of our denomination know how to handle not just the words, but Gigants and artillery too.”

At those words, Luke’s lips formed a thin smile.

It was because the words Luke wanted to hear came out.

“Then, Priest Bosco must know how to control a Gigant?”

“Of course, if you are curious about my skills, I can prove it right away.”

Bosco seemed to have a strong pride in his skills, Luke spoke with his smile still stuck on his face.

“You can prove that later on. By the way… I don’t know if you know this. A Gigant’s invention was originally related to dark magic.”

“Wh-what?’

At Luke’s words, all the priests in the room were shocked.

But it was Bosco who was the most shocked.

Gigants were a war weapon that had been under use for the past 500 years. It was a symbol of romance and love for the knights.

The same was true of priests who served the God of War.

But that very Gigant was related to dirty dark magic!

Bosco’s expression hardened.

It felt as if his God, Mars, was being called the child of the Devil.

“On what grounds?”

“Well, among the dark magic, there is a magic called Marionette magic. And it is used to control golems, and it was created by Saymon, who fought with Golems on his side.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Luke continued to talk, as the frown only deepened on Bosco’s face.

“Gigants are based on Golems. Maybe the basic magic circles used in the Gigants are borrowed from the Marionette magic.”

“Th-that is ridiculous…!”

“If you can’t believe my words, do your own research. If I am wrong, I will apologize to Mars and cut off my tongue.”

At Luke’s words, Bosco went silent.

Knowing about it wasn’t difficult.

A Gigant’s basic magic circles were well known in the magic word, and the Marionette magic could be found out from the warlocks who were in the Black Tower.

However, hearing Luke’s story, there was one doubt in his head.

It was related to the first person known as the developer of the Gigant on the continent.

“In addition, the first Gigant was told to be made by Arsene, the then Meister of Veritas Magic Tower. The Dark Moon warlocks say that Arsene had intercepted the work of Saymon, the master of the golems… Don’t you think that was wrong?”

“Th-that…”

“Moreover, it was discovered that the Veritas were secretly studying dark magic. Did the answer you were searching for come out?”

At Luke’s words, Bosco turned sweaty and couldn’t respond.

“The ones I love will bloom even from the soil, and poison can sometimes become the best medicine to save people. If you are a priest, you would know how complicated the world has become and the reason for it. How about you all think about the artificial muscle thing one more time?”

Luke, who said that, left the room, leaving Bosco with his thoughts.

No one knew what the decision would be.

However, he thought that those who knew shame wouldn’t judge the same way about the situation anymore.
