I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills

071. Faith (1)

“Tell me what you want.”

It is a place where an old man dressed in black and a girl in a white priest’s uniform face each other.

It was the girl who spoke first in that bizarre combination.

Unapint Lunaciel, who was a candidate for the saintess of the great Holy Nation

The woman was drinking her tea with her eyes closed.

“You are constantly being disturbed. Dispose of him.”

“…… Hindrance?”

The old man pulled out a small carving knife from within his arms. It was his habit to hold it in his hand whenever he felt uncomfortable, to the point that his handle had changed into a mandul mandle before he knew it.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t even figure out what it was. Whether it is an individual, a force, or even an unknown group.”

“… ….”

Perhaps the old man’s words made her feel uncomfortable, the girl stared at the old man without saying a word.

No, to put it bluntly, I don’t know if it’s right to say that I’m staring because I still haven’t opened my eyes.

One thing was certain. Right now, that girl was uncomfortable.

That was the old man’s idea.

“There is someone I think is a prime suspect.”

“Who is it?”

“Beris von Wittelsbach. A first-year student who has suddenly risen rapidly in the academy recently, and a monster who split the sky with the mana contained in his sword.”

“Monster… ….”

As the incomprehensible sounds flew in succession, the girl tilted her head.

Monster, monster.

No. Before that, how could a person cut the sky with a sword in the first place?

As if he had read the girl’s thoughts, the old man let out a human-looking laugh.

“Heh heh! Even if I hear it, it doesn’t sound like a word.”

After saying that, the old man’s eyes fell cold in an instant.

As if he had never burst out laughing, the old man continued talking to the girl with cold eyes.

“It is our judgment that his strength is astonishing. The dormitory occupancy incident that happened the other day…… The person who knows what happened inside the barrier is that Berith.”

“… ….”

The old man poured hot tea into his mouth as if his throat was burning.

With eyes glistening with life, the old man said while stroking the handle of his carving knife.

“How unfortunate. He sensed the smell and sent a baby, but he returned with his tail lowered and succumbed to it.”

“I got it.”

Did I understand the old man’s words?

The girl slowly rose from her seat.

The old man, who knew what she was saying and what her actions meant, couldn’t help but look surprised.

“Are you sure you want to move right away?”

“There is nothing good about delaying time.”

“That’s true, but… ….”

The old man stared blankly at the girl, as if at a loss for words.

To be honest, the old man didn’t notice the greatness of this girl at all.

An apostle, to be called such a great being, the felt power and mana were all at a low level.

But the old man did not act rashly. It was thanks to the fact that he had heard many times by word of mouth about the power of the priest of this kingdom who was no different than his granddaughter.

“Have people on standby to quiet the fuss. I will start working after meeting an acquaintance in Seongguk.”

With those words, the girl slowly left the luxurious room.

The old man was just staring blankly at the little girl’s back.

“I’m bored.”

Berris laughed at Cecilia’s complaint.

Even Cecilia, who had been wearing a bright, relaxed smile until daytime, seemed tired now, and her face was full of fatigue.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

The mana possessed by the people of this world is limited.

It was a natural result unless someone like Berris had undergone insane levels of training and passive skill correction.

“You’ve been spitting out mana all day. No wonder you are tired.”

“But… …. Berrys-nim relied on me for the first time, heeing.”

Cecilia, with her crying face, looked pathetic now.

“Let’s go back now.”

Knowing that Cecilia would no longer be in a situation where she would radiate her divine mana, Veris said so.

Even if she said that Cecilia still has an unbroken heart, the reality is not so easy.

If you use too much mana, the recoil will only cause you to run out of mana, so for now, just going home was the best option.

Buck and go.

“Huh?”

With that thought in mind, Veris was trying to lift the limp Cecilia up, but a person came into view.

A girl dressed in pure white Holy Kingdom clothing, similar to Cecilia in her priestly uniform.

But the strange fact is that she is now walking with her eyes closed.

And. His footsteps were directed towards Veris and Cecilia, who were sitting on the bench and resting.

I wondered if he was blind, but seeing his exact steps made me wonder.

“It’s been a while.”

“…… ! You are?”

Cecilia stood up as if surprised to see the girl approaching and greeting her first.

She had already heard of it from one of her fellow priests. Unapint Lunaciel, the fact that she is coming to this academy.

But it arrived faster than expected. It was only yesterday that she heard the rumor…….

“Saint Cecilia. Has your star gone out yet?”

Veris was struck by the appearance of the priestess, who approached her willingly and continued to speak incomprehensible to her.

Academy There are quite a lot of priests from the Holy Kingdom.

But something……. The person standing in front of me now had a completely different atmosphere from them.

“Do you know someone?”

Vigilance springs up naturally. Veris asked her question to Cecilia, and she nodded her head, not hiding her surprise.

“Yes. He was the one who competed with me when I was a candidate for sainthood.”

“Competition?”

“As you are well aware of the power I possess, the miracle of defense and protection. It is a power based on divine mana.”

Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared with a clear expression of tension for some reason, Cecilia continued her words.

“Unapint Lunaciel. Surprisingly, this person’s power is the power of ‘miracle’. Literally, someone capable of enacting her will outside the laws of the real world.”

“… ….”

Veris bit her lip at the absurd Cecilia’s non-introduction.

A person with the power to perform miracles?

Isn’t it a force at the level of balance collapse in the first place? Why did such a person compete with Cecilia, and eventually Cecilia became a saint?

It was Berris who didn’t even feel it.

“Is this man Cecilia’s lover?”

“Me, Jung-in?”

The priest, who had been quietly listening to Cecilia’s introduction, asked.

At that straight-forward question, Cecilia created a very funny scene.

After trying to mumble for a while, she turned her head away and avoided answering!

Because of that, Veris couldn’t help but feel absurd.

A priestess that gives off the feeling that a screw is missing.

Unexpectedly, she might have been close to Cecilia, or it was thanks to a strangely close feeling of distance.

“Nice to meet you. As you have already heard from Cecilia, I am Unapint Lunaciel. In the past, I was a candidate for sainthood, but now I am a priest who works as a hunter.”

“A hunter?”

Veris tilted her head.

Is there a position called a hunter in the castle?

I knew that the ostensible military group had the Holy Knights, and the Heretic Inquisitor, who operated in the dark, was their main force.

As if the girl priest had also expected such a question from Veris, she soon added a short explanation.

“I am entrusted with the noble task of dealing with those who stand in the way of the Church. It is my job to lead them to Hell.”

“… ….”

Looking at it now, it turned out that there was not one screw loose, but several.

“Yes. I am Veris von Wittelsbach. Feel free to call me Veris.”

“…… Berries?”

After hearing Veris’ introduction, the priestess’ face began to harden.

“Sounds funny!”

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Archduke Evangeline spat out a cold remark as if he was full of energy.

Suha, prostrated in front of her, was just sweating. She just handed over the information she had secured, but her response on the day seemed unexpected.

“Ha, but that’s the information we got. The source of the information is the Shadow Clan.”

“Huh!”

The Archduke let out an exclamation full of absurdity.

She is the one who slayed her father and rose to the position of Grand Duke.

Almost nothing left behind by her father, who was manipulated by the Demonic Cult, except for titles, but there were some significant ones.

Shadow only.

The pride and secret of the Grand Duchy of Wallenstein, they are equipped with excellent intelligence comparable to the Imperial counterintelligence.

And that…… It meant that the one controlling them was this Archduke Evangeline.

But.

“Can you believe this? Even I, who hear it, am dumbfounded.”

At the grand duke’s cold voice, Suha simply bowed his head deeply.

“The Holy Kingdom and the Demon Cult have some kind of relationship.”

Unlike the Empire’s counterintelligence department, which deals with the nation’s enemies, it is the shadow corps that only collects information about the Demon Church at the will of the Grand Duke.

However, the information they brought was hard to believe even for the Archduke.

“In addition, it is a known fact that the Holy Kingdom dispatched a priest who performs powerful miracles to the academy at the request of support from the Demonic Church.”

“After… ….”

Evangeline let out a deep sigh at the subordinate’s report.

The Archduke, who had been beaten by Berris for not having information, obtained the true information.

But the funny thing is that the information is so dangerous that it gives you goosebumps.

This was a storm.

A huge storm that would shake not only the academy, but also the empire, and even the entire continent.

“His Excellency…… You are approaching absurd danger.”

At the advice of his subordinate, the Grand Duke slowly shook his head.

After staring at the paper in his hand for a long time without saying anything, the Grand Duke finally opened his mouth to answer.

“No.”

“…… ?”

“Danger is upon us.”

Bulkkeok!

The Archduke rose from his seat.

There was someone I needed to meet.

Right now.
