Chapter 42 Part4 (2/2)
At some point, the Sun G.o.d religion's Pope had approached the panicking Evileye General. He was briefly captivated by the t.i.tan, which exhibited greatness almost in line with the Sun G.o.d himself, but he got a hold of himself and looked more energetic than before.
He was confident as he smiled at the Evileye General. It was the face of someone sure that G.o.d was by his side.
”Since it looks like Kay can deal with it himself.”
”How foolish. That giant cannot be controlled by man! How can you be so sure that that giant won't attack us!?”
”Haha. I suppose you can't see it. But we've spent so much time with Kay that we see it clearly. Very clearly.”
”That's impossible...”
That's right. Although he'd changed into an enormous t.i.tan, his moves were synonymous with Kay's, who they'd spent more than a month with.
It couldn't be controlled by man? No, if that were true, then they wouldn't need to be afraid. Since it would just be another powerful monster rampaging about. The reason they were in awe of Kay's new form was because he had full control of that tremendous power and was sublimating it with his own abilities. Kay had become the true master of that power.
”Oh Sun G.o.d, please grant your blessing to your loving children. And I thank you for your never-ending grace of sending him to us...”
After he'd shut up the Evileye General, the Pope quietly prayed to the Sun G.o.d in thanks. No believer of the Sun G.o.d could bear witness to the sight and stay still!
The Sun G.o.d's child was using His flames to exterminate the wicked flames that surged from beneath the ground, so they couldn't be a believer if they couldn't recognize their G.o.d's flames.
”Oh. Ooooh.”
”Sir Kay is swinging his flaming greatsword... He's clas.h.i.+ng with the firebird!”
”R-Run away! The heat's spreading!”
”Uaaaaaahk!”
The heat from the battle intensified. When the Garuda and t.i.tan landed their final blows, the shock created a wavelength of mana that surpa.s.sed mere heat and spread throughout the entire area. However, they were completely oblivious to the fact.
”But this heat is...”
”Uoh... Ooooh!?”
The others, aside from the Sun G.o.d religion, were shocked and avoided it, but the Sun G.o.d's devotees didn't move, as if they had been given a revelation from the Sun G.o.d himself.
They couldn't oppose such heat... However, when they were struck by the heat, they started glowing with hot mana. The heat hadn't harmed them. Rather, it had stimulated their own mana and strengthened it!
”Fire is burning bright within my body.”
”The Sun G.o.d is blessing us right now!”
”No, this is Sir Kay's blessing...!”
Surprisingly, there were level 6 paladins and priests that grew to level 7 as a result. Three of them had leveled up at that! Those who hadn't found that their fire element and resistance had increased, and there were those who gained stats, a new t.i.tle, and even a new skill!
”The Sun G.o.d.”
”That man is undoubtedly the Sun G.o.d.”
”Hoo...”
The Pope was no exception. While he hadn't leveled up, he had been stuck as a high rank level 7 for the longest time.
But the heat had caused several skills to level up, and with his newly acquired t.i.tle, his stats had increased significantly. He was shocked. He had long thought his advancement was hopeless, but now the path was wide open for him!
”Hoo. I'm glad no one has died.”
While the members of the Sun G.o.d religion took control of their newfound power, the others were speechless at their sudden increase in strength, which had more than doubled collectively. Then, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo came out from the explosion. Of course, this was after the t.i.tan was released.
”h.e.l.lo. I told you I'd leave after I cleared the dungeon, but you called reinforcements anyway. You didn't need to.”
”Haha. Hahahaha. You're right. You always say that, so I had no way of knowing whether you were telling the truth or not. So I ended up doing something I shouldn't have.”
The Pope couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Lee s.h.i.+n Woo greeting him from atop a winged horse.
The emergence of a level 8 dungeon, the advent of an absolute boss monster that couldn't be overcome, the giant that fought against it, and the flame of flames!
The Sun G.o.d's believers had also awakened from just watching the mythical battle. Those were all unbelievable events, yet Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, the source of all this, looked exactly the same as before.
”I've never lied to you before. I'm a bit sad that you thought that way.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's statement only caused the Pope's smile to widen further. He wanted to bow down before Lee s.h.i.+n Woo but barely stopped himself. As he requested, the Pope decided to remain as a trader, an equal, and replied.
”Don't worry. I'll believe everything you say from now on. There's no one I trust more.”
”Hoo. Good, that's plenty. And having an audience was kind of nice.”
Was the Pope satisfied? Lee s.h.i.+n Woo grinned. Then, he nonchalantly dropped a bombsh.e.l.l that would surprise all the surface dwellers.
”I've taken care of the tail end of the darkness that comes from the underground. You need an audience for a moment of history like this.”
