Chapter 56 (2/2)

By taking Negary’s words into consideration by itself, it would seem to make sense, by paying a significantly smaller price they could eliminate the big problem of most diseases. But at the same time, Negary’s own influence would grow greatly. Perhaps most diseases would indeed be eliminated, but it would be at the cost of more disadvantages.

But Myerson wasn’t Chris, and he hadn’t been through nearly as much as the adventurer. Furthermore, the deep impression left from his childhood of the poor people of the slums being tortured by their diseases, in addition to the grievance of having to ‘kill’ his comrade’s corpse created a hole inside his mind. He suddenly felt that their actions of going against Negary itself was wrong.

〖 If you feel something is wrong, go and make it right yourself, child 〗a voice seemed to be coming from inside his mind, causing Myerson to blink in confusion: 〖 Just look, you were forced to fight a tough battle against the corpse alone, but the Cardinal never extended a helping hand, yet as soon as Luen was in danger, Augustin managed to help him with time to spare, this is the difference between a peasant and a noble 〗

〖 It was because of his birth that Luen could become Cardinal Augustin’s disciple, while no matter how hard I work, I would never be able to achieve my dreams. Until now, when I see a different path 〗

〖 Perhaps to other people, this path is an error, but to me, this is nothing but correct 〗such thoughts were sprouting nonstop in Myerson’s mind.

Although his status as a poor-born peasant made Myerson’s personality a bit deeper than others, no one could deny that he was a decent youth who wanted nothing but to do good things. Unfortunately, the one he faced was Negary, under the constant mental guidance of Negary’s will, what was originally some meaningless emotions were infinitely magnified and turned into the last straw that overwhelmed Myerson’s heart.

As Myerson raised his sword to use his Grace, he felt that all of his Grace had become dim without a single light, the corner of his lips raised up to form a self-deprecating smile: “So even the Lord had given up on me”

“Myerson, what are you thinking about? Hurry!” Luen was breathing heavily as he endured a headache and forcefully used his Grace of Salvation to purify the surrounding germs again. As the eldest son of the Donner family, the future heir of a noble family as well as a possible future high-ranking member of the Church, he was frightened by an Evil Spirit to the point of being unable to move. This shame could only be made up by defeating it.

Glancing at Luen, Myerson raised his knight’s sword and the germs in the air slowly gathered towards Myerson.

Augustin had been constantly using his Grace of Understanding and suddenly felt a clear ominous feeling encroaching his mind, truthfully, this feeling had already faintly existed since a while ago, but Negary’s presence was so overwhelming that this feeling was interfered with and drowned out.

It was only now that Augustin could clearly tell where this ominous feeling was coming from. As he turned around, he immediately saw Myerson gradually turning black as he raised his sword towards Luen’s neck.

Myerson’s gaze appeared to be hesitant, but more germs were constantly being poured into his body, magnifying Negary’s will and causing Myerson to become fallen even further. At the same time, due to using his Grace too much, Luen’s mind was a bit sluggish, unable to notice the danger coming from behind.

“Grace of Temperance!” Augustin used the Grace of Temperance again to restrain Myerson’s actions, then felt pain coming from his chest. A hand had pierced through and was holding his still-beating heart.

〖 Too much concern leads to mistakes, so you only amount to this much in the end, Cardinal Augustin 〗Negary appeared disappointed, although his faith was firm, he was still only human, and he had weaknesses.

“My Lord… Sacrifice…” Augustin spoke those words with great difficulty before he erupted in a blinding white light.
