Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 336

Episode 336 Reason (2)

“Are you saying… that the Archbishop lied?”

“That can’t be true. We don’t think they can hide everything from us by making a statement that doesn’t even exist.”

The walls of Verden flickered.

“If you want to hide your true intentions, the most effective way is to mix them with truth rather than lies.”

Joseph is probably not that good at fooling people.

The foundation of the Luas religion is light.

It is not suitable for those who are adept at deception and distortion contrary to faith.

What if it was the Inquisitors who were directly active in the dark?

'I don't get along with the Archbishop who is the spokesman for the Luasian Church.'

But that doesn't mean it's easy to see through their hidden intentions and intentions.

To tell the truth but not everything.

Rather, it forces superficial belief on the listener.

So Verden changed his perspective.

Rather than considering Joseph's answer as the whole and the basis, consider it as a reference for part of the current situation.

“The Glory of the Corpse seeks to bring back the old days when black magic was prevalent… To be honest, it’s not that hard of a goal. There are many people in the world who pursue desires and intentions that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.”

Verden and Adrian were also included in it.

Because no one with normal thinking would dare to seek revenge on the Transcendent One.

“But the Archbishop did not mention why they want to create such a world.”

“That’s true, but… maybe it’s simply the purpose itself that is the reason.”

“Of course, that could be the case. The world is not rational enough to always flow in a specific and clear way. But my thoughts are a little different.”

Because Verden had personally faced the glory of the corpse in the Kingdom of Estyria.

“Not all, but some of them, just before they die, utter this phrase: ‘For the glory of the great corpse.’”

“For the sake of it. It sounds like you’re worshipping a corpse.”

“Besides, he didn’t even show any sign of caring for his own life, so you could say that it was close to fanaticism.”

If you think about it that way, Viola's case, who attacked the parish, was quite different.

Unlike Nosa, he threw a tantrum at the end, saying he didn't want to die.

Well, the level of faith varies from person to person, so it's not that strange, and it's not important enough to spend time thinking about.

There is something more decisive.

Verden took out a book from the subspace.

"that……."

“This is the spoils of war obtained by subduing the black magician belonging to the Glory of the Corpse.”

and.

“It is also an ancient book written in the script of a country that existed about 800 years ago, and whose history itself was erased by the Luasian religion.”

One of the pieces of information I got from the Ark.

I shouldn't have spoken about the ark and I had no intention of doing so, but this is an exception.

War Lord, this is something I heard personally from Regret.

Adrian, who had been listening to the story contained in the ancient book, stroked his chin.

“Hmm, a country that burned down nearly half the continent not a few decades ago, but a few hundred years ago. It’s such a long time ago, it’s hard to say anything.”

“That’s the same for me. So I didn’t think too deeply about it, I just combined the information that was revealed so far.”

Verden placed his hand on the book.

“What if the old-time traditions the Archbishop spoke of meant the reconstruction of that nation, and the ‘great corpse’ they mentioned meant a being or king belonging to that nation…?”

“……!”

This hypothesis explains most things, including the bizarre belief that they can throw away their own lives so recklessly.

This is just a guess.

It was also the most likely conclusion that could be reached immediately.

“Well, contrary to expectations, there may be no connection at all. That black magician may have accidentally gotten his hands on this book.”

“But my lord doesn’t think so.”

“Yeah. It’s not my style to dismiss everything as coincidence.”

Suspect and reveal.

If you pursue magic, you should do so.

“To summarize, the first reason is to satisfy curiosity.”

The two people poured their glasses at the same time.

Because the alcohol content is high, the bitter taste is strong.

After that, a unique, fruit-like aroma lingered in my mouth.

“And the second is even more direct.”

The glasses were refilled again and the conversation continued.

* * *

“The Glory of the Dead assassinated the highest councilor of the Republic of Beldirn. Have you ever wondered why he did that?”

“Umm…….”

Adrian pondered the information.

Since we cannot know what is hidden in the dark, we try not to imagine it and just rule it out.

If we only consider what is superficially revealed… … .

“To close down the Republic?”

“Yes, the borders of the Republic of Beldirn are currently closed. You can enter from the outside in a limited way, but you can’t leave from the inside.”

In short, it means that the entire country is a stage created by those guys.

Since they are openly provoking the Archbishop and summoning him, it is difficult to predict what trap there is or what they are planning.

'They say they prepared for it at the Luas Church, but… … .'

Whatever it was, the corpse could not be 'officially' removed from the Republic until its glory had served its purpose.

That was a very important issue for both of them.

“So you’re saying that in order to utilize intercontinental space travel, their exclusion is essential?”

"yes."

With one of the Republic's most powerful figures having been murdered, it's difficult to use space travel with adventurer privileges.

This is a matter that requires formal approval from the highest council members and members of the National Assembly.

Even if it were possible, there's no way they'd just let it go.

Above all, Verden had no intention of compromising with them.

That is to say.

“If you go to the Central Continent, friction with the Glory of the Corpse is inevitable. This is the second reason why I accepted the Archbishop’s request. Are you convinced?”

“Of course.”

Adrian nodded.

“I fully understand your thoughts, my lord. That’s why I’m curious. What you’ve said is enough, but why is there another reason?”

He asked cautiously.

“……Is it by any chance related to the Third Mill market?”

Just before leaving the mayor's office, Verden was looking at the mayor's end.

With a complex look in her eyes, thinking deeply about something.

That was the real reason Adrian came to Verden.

“…….”

Verden put down his glass.

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth.

“The world is relative, so the strong and the weak always coexist.”

The weak are the ones who suffer.

A helpless prey that cannot do anything under overwhelming pressure.

Verden and Adrian were like that too.

One lost his pure dream, the other lost his teacher.

My life was completely changed by an absolute power called the Transcendent One.

But the two of them now don't blame the world at all.

Apart from suffering from the logic of power, we pursue strength because we acknowledge the standards of such a world.

“In that sense, the death of the market is a kind of natural order.”

I couldn't resist.

It's an excuse for the weak and powerless.

Although the two had been through similar things, neither felt sorry for the mayor of Third Mill and felt deep sympathy for him.

Because I haven't lived a life where I have the luxury of extending my heart to someone I've never met and whose life I don't even know.

“But the process by which the market dies is a separate thing.”

They are treated as subhuman, used thoroughly, and disposed of when their usefulness is no longer good.

The deeds of the Glory of the Corpse were not much different from the experiments of the Bohemian Tower Master and Baloch.

That's why.

“Their methods are quite unpleasant.”

The third reason is personal feelings.

* * *

The Lustrous is the Archbishop's flying ship powered by the divine power released from the holy relic.

If undead or demons invade, they will writhe in pain and scream, but for humans, it is a cozy and warm interior that brings a sense of comfort.

“Umm…….”

Leila stretched and raised her upper body.

It's a most refreshing morning.

The demonic curse on his face, which is always covered by a helmet, also feels weaker than usual.

‘This is the power of the holy relic… … .’

There is no other way to describe it than to say it is amazing.

If I were to borrow a relic from the Luas Church… …would I not have to visit the church periodically to have the curse alleviated through divine power?

With that thought in mind, I got out of bed.

It was at that moment that I placed my hand on the small table that was placed next to me.

simplicity and honesty.

"ah."

Some of the weight-bearing parts were crushed.

Uncontrollable muscle strength.

It was one of the phenomena that occurred when the devil's curse intensified.

'Come to think of it, today was the day I was supposed to go to church.'

In addition to the Ark's Exchange, there is also an organization called the Glory of the Corpse, which I have never heard of before.

There have been so many things happening recently that I forgot about it for a while.

'Well, even if it's a holy relic, isn't it enough to simply radiate divine power?'

I think I need to give up the idea of having to borrow sacred relics.

In the first place, there was no way he would have readily rented the relic to her, who was an adventurer.

Thud, thud.

Leila left the room, dressed in a face covering and walking down the hallway.

'Archbishop Joseph said that if the curse was a problem, I could come to him in person… … .'

It was burdensome for her to go and knock on the door of none other than the Archbishop right in the morning.

However, it is difficult to spend time leisurely eating or doing other things.

Because in this state, it is not easy to finely control the strength.

Like the table before, it was impossible to destroy the objects placed on the Rustus.

'I guess it would be better to ask Bishop Lena.'

Although it had not been long since they had met in Riverrun, they were already close, and Bishop Lena had the habit of waking up early in the morning to pray to God.

I decided.

Leila turned and headed towards Bishop Lena's room.

That was when.

Someone was standing in the hallway, looking out the window.

Pink hair.

A lively appearance.

It was Bishop Lena.

“Bishop? What are you doing here?”

“Ah……Lady Leila.”

Bishop Lena turned her gaze.

Light returned to the eyes that had been blank until just now.

“I was just looking back on the past.”

“……?”

“I was clearly spending my days faithfully leading Riverrun’s church, so why am I here……”

It had not been long since she had become a senior bishop and been appointed by the Luasians and dispatched to Caillians.

But what about now?

Riverrun's market exploded.

I was cursed with some unknown curse and was mistaken by the world for having been kidnapped.

I met Archbishop Joseph Eunha.

The mayor of Third Mill has died.

And then boarding the flying ship containing the holy relics of the Luas Church and heading to the Republic of Beldirn.

This all happened in just a few days.

“What happened happened, so I try not to think negatively, but no matter how positive I am, this is a bit…….”

On rare occasions, Bishop Lena became serious.

There was nothing Leila could say. After all, she was the one who had asked the mayor to remove the curse.

An unbearable silence continues.

Suddenly, Bishop Lena hit her cheek hard with both hands.

match!

There was a cheerful sound.

At the same time, Bishop Lena smiled.

“I’ll stop agonizing here. Serious things don’t suit me! Since it’s come to this, I’ll just see how far the goddess will lead me, you know!”

It was a bold declaration from a senior bishop.

“Oh, but did I hit it too hard? It really hurts…….”

He brought his hand, imbued with divine power, to his face.

The reddened skin gradually subsided.

Leila turned her head and smiled at the innocent look.

Underneath the concealed aircraft.

Traces of humans began to appear, rather than nature, such as a forest.

“It must have been because it was close to the border with Third Mill, but it arrived quickly.”

Arrived in the Republic of Beldirn.
