1101 Demons and Believers Part 1 (2/2)

So, what if we just turn around and go kill them? Sounds like a good way to go about it. But, if they are to flee like that, are we going to chase them all the way back to Daliang City?

”What are you doing?” The priest mustered all of his courage and shouted as he saw the demon spacing out.

”Oh? Right, priest. I'd like pray to your god. I wonder if you'd be kind enough to hear me out?” Nailisi laughed.

The priest was done for. If the ones behind are not going to do anything while I have my time with this fellow, we can always just go look for the next town. There will be one holy master in those towns that are deemed important enough to save, no?

That priest gulped and wanted to tell Nailisi that he had no intention of doing so because of what Nailisi did to the place.

Then again, Nailisi politely asked if she were to be allowed to pray to their god, which was something a priest was unable to refuse. If they were to refuse someone who wished to pray to their god, their days in the Holy See would have been numbered.

”Alright, dear lost... believer, state your name,” the priest said.

”Right, priest. I'm not a believer, I simply want to tell the Lord of Glory that he, the stupid pig, should die as soon as possible. I wish for his divine fire get snuffed out, his divine persona broken, his kingdom crumbled, and his body eaten by me,” Nailisi said. ”I feel very disgusted seeing his faith propagated everywhere. Why does a piece of trash like him deserve to propagate his faith? Even a wild dog in my master's city proves more noble than he is. At least the dog won't go about barking in other people's places and force others to hear it bark. Priest, do you get what I'm saying?”

The priest was baffled when she was done.

Nailisi called out again. It was only then that the priest came to his senses and pointed at Nailisi's big nose, saying angrily, ”All people who defile our god...”

”I'm not people, I'm a demon!” Nailisi corrected the priest nonchalantly.

It was seen in the Sensory Sharing between Nailisi and Saleen that the golden-armored warriors at the hill did not move. The holy masters had no intentions of getting near the village either. Nailisi felt rather disappointed.

”Demon! You foul creature, how dare you tarnish the light of our lord!” The priest thought he was done for anyway, so he got enraged. He pointed at Nailisi and said, ”It was god who created everything. It was god who gave humans happiness. It was...”

”It was you mother. It was your mother who gave you your life. It was your mother who gave you a family. It was your mother who gave you everything. What does anything has to do with god? Is he your father or something?” Nailisi had always been sharp-tongued. People were usually thrown into blind rage by her words.

Furthermore, she was attacking at the highest being in the priest's mind.

That priest jumped and yelled, ”Without god, this world would be condemned to darkness. Without god, all calamities would fall upon us. People would never get a full meal, and they would always shiver in the cold. You demon, don't you dare try to play with the hearts of men!”

”Oh stupid one, the poorest empire in the whole of Myers Mainland is your Tanggulasi Empire controlled by the Holy See while the richest is the Qin Empire. That outright forbids any preaching in their domain,” Nailisi said ”What has your god given your Tanggulasians?”

”The wrath of god has been visited upon the soil of Qin. The light of god shall light up the entire world!” The priest retorted with a firm posture and a proud voice. The army of the Tanggulasi Empire had invaded Northern Qin. It was something known throughout the entire Holy See.

”So, he goes about wrecking other people's homes just because they don't believe in him?” Nailisi asked. ”Tsk tsk, so that is the god you believe in, eh? What an *sshole.”

”It was you people who defiled the gods in the first place,” the priest said. ”God has anger too!”

”You're kind of right about that,” Nailisi replied. ”Humans did kill quite a number of gods, and all of them more powerful than the Lord of Light. A good-for-nothing piece of sh*t like the Lord of Light wouldn't have stood a chance preaching in the Myers Mainland otherwise. Wait, don't you know how Myers Mainland got its name? It's thanks to the Goddess of Myers, not some sh*thead going by the name of Lord of Light.”

”You b*stard!” That priest swung its fists and charged at Nailisi. A believer pulled at his sleeves and peered over his shoulder, saying, ”There are no other beings befitting the title of 'god' other than the Lord of Light. Myers was but a swindler. She is no god.”

”Well, how would you know?” Nailisi had no intention of attacking anyone. She could have easily killed every single person before her with just one finger. She was simply baiting the ones behind to come save those people she was toying with.

”That's what the god said. That's god's decree,” the believer answered in a straightforward manner.

Nailisi was puzzled for a bit before getting what the believer meant. The demons behind her burst into laughter. The powerful sound waves made the house, which lost a wall, shaking like it was about to collapse.

”So, you just buy whatever he says?” Nailisi asked the believer with exasperation.

”Of course, god never lies.” The believer looked incredibly adamant, losing all the previous fear.

”How do you know your god doesn't lie?” Nailisi asked. The demon was curious as to how a common believer came to know their god.

”Because god said so. He said he never lied,” the believer answered.

That answer made Saleen, who was right behind the squad of demons, laugh. Oh yeah, that's how the believers behave. They won't hear whatever you have to say. In their minds, their god is the only righteous being alive.
