Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

EP.285 Blessed Country, Cursed Human – 8

An emergency situation where the ceiling seems to collapse at any moment. Even more so, this place is underground, several tens of meters below. If the ground collapses, I can’t survive even with my Earth Skill.

Captain Abbey tried to control Yuel’s actions with his unique magic. It was an effective method between communication soldiers with unique magic of sympathy, and it was something that Captain Abbey himself had experienced once. The stems of the morning glory that stretched out along the floor entangled Yuel.

Morning glory vines entwine over the two neatly gathered hands. Microscopic roots tried to pierce the saintess’ skin.

“Intense will to a life blossomed by love… romantic.”

But Yuel doesn’t budge. Neither power nor unique magic work.

The first saintess at the source of Holy Hwangcheong. Those who believe in her can relive some of the miracles she performed. What Yuel is doing now is a 15-day prayer that is only allowed for the saintess.

-No one can disturb the saintess while she is praying.

A miracle that was born when the first saintess prayed for fifteen days on top of the corpse’s pavilion. Hunger, disease, curses, and even stones thrown by unbelievers could not stop her from praying. The miracles that resulted from this are continued every time the saintess prays.

A miracle that a mere human can conduct a sit-in. Maybe if there is a true meaning of ‘invincibility’ in the world, that would be it.

Even if I squeeze and poke it with a skewer, I won’t get a hole in it. Even the unique magic that overwrites the rules of the world does not work. If it’s an attack that makes sense, there’s a chance, but that won’t be easy either.

It would be true in reality, but Yuel said with an attitude that even if he stabbed him, not a single drop of blood would come out.

“That’s mental pollution, Abbie. A signalman should value confidentiality and orders more than his own life. If you are more important than anything else in the world, sympathy will be meaningless.”

“Uel…!”

“If you’re a communications soldier, you’ll be buried with joy.”

‘Attack invalid! Fix your strategy!’

Captain Abbey, who confirmed that coercion through coordination did not work, devised another method and did it.

“Stop! At this point, removing the main building won’t change the situation! Outside, Warden Historia is waiting, and the founder and the king of beasts are also alive and well! If he dies here, even the smallest negotiations with them will be impossible! Rather take them hostage! That way is much more strategic!”

I’d rather be a hostage and be guaranteed safety. This is the best decision a communications soldier can make. Captain Abbey lacks information.

The problem is that Captain Abbey doesn’t know too much.

For an instant, a look of sadness flashed in Yuel’s eyes. Yuel, who had pursed his lips, replied in a weak voice.

“…I regret not being able to explain it to you. Even if you are destined to die soon.”

‘What can’t you explain? What is the main building that you do not know? If so, an attack unrelated to the main building…?’

Uell made no secrets, but Captain Abbey was still a communications man.

Having only encountered humans as a golem all her life, she is not the type to read people’s psychology well. But so far, it has had the ability to weave together the given information and derive key information.

“Wasn’t the attack target the main building…?”

yes.

If Captain Abbey had come alone in the first place, he would have been overpowered in reverse. The opponent is Aimeder, the first telecommunicationsman and Saint Yuel. I’m not going to get along just because I was caught by a single communications soldier. Wouldn’t it be better to kill and destroy?

Of course the goal is…

Hmm. I wished he could explain more of the inside story with his own mouth, but it seems like the ground will collapse if he stays relaxed. Live burial is a specification. I have to stop with this for now.

“Isn’t the Catholic Church forbidding suicide? If the ceiling collapses, even if your body is fine, you will eventually starve to death, so can you do this? Or are you going to dig rocks with angels?”

Yuel didn’t even look at me. Even in this situation, it’s a bit sad because I’m openly ignored.

“Don’t try to trick me and disappear. barbarity.”

Look how cold your voice is. It was certainly true that Yuel was friendly to Captain Abbey. It’s soft compared to when you treat me.

“It’s barbaric. You are saying too much for a civilized person like me.”

“Civilized people are people who keep the norms. A person who accepts the necessary restrictions to live together. However, you deny all norms. Yes, where does civilization exist?”

“Are you here?”

I tapped the stack of cards. A stack of cards worn out from a few uses, but still more than half remain. About weapons magic and knowledge. All of them are the secrets of civilization.

Yuel, who recognized the identity of my deck of cards, responded cynically.

“It exists only by force. That’s why you shouldn’t be there.”

Immediately after the words were finished, the vibrations increased. It is on the verge of collapsing any minute now. If you kill the saint who shakes the pillars of the temple, this vibration may stop, but there is no means to strike while the saint is praying.

In a word, a desperate situation.

“Humans are not beasts, savages! Be buried with me!”

“sorry. There’s nothing I can’t do, but there’s already a man in the seat next to you. I am careful not to touch the owner.”

In that situation, since I was joking around, Yuel was very suspicious.

‘Strange. Survival instinct is the supreme proposition for animals. It would be normal to use all means to survive, but… why are you still standing still?’

jokes come out no i’m not dangerous

If it was an animal like Aji or a butterfly, it might have felt a sense of danger and ran amok. Dogs and cats react sensitively to a crisis right in front of them. No matter how strong and resilient the rope is, if you try to throw a dog or cat from a high place, it will break out.

But I am a human with intelligence and logic. Even if you are tens of meters high, you can jump without hesitation if you have confirmed that the string that binds you is strong enough. Well, if there’s a problem with the lifeline, I’ll buy it without hesitation.

Fortunately, my lifeline has arrived now.

‘I don’t know what you mean, but it doesn’t matter. You are the first saint who blessed me. Holy Maiden of Heaven, who excommunicated me. Although I am a sinful person, I will not be ashamed of you in the end. Forgive me.’

As the saintess was about to finish her prayers, a voice was heard from outside. Other than us, someone else who jumped into the underground passage had finally arrived. A rumbling voice came from outside.

“City Siati…! I’m shaking. Would it have been right to come here?”

“It must have been connected somewhere else! sooner!”

A princess with a warm and noble aura. On the contrary, shiati as sharp as a well-forged blade.

The two, fleeing from the uproar, burst through the door. While looking for a place to escape, the two of them hesitated when they saw the temple suddenly unfolding.

“Hey…! is this a temple? Why is there a temple in the military?”

“Keep moving! Since Huey also went this way, it must have led somewhere…! day off?”

And the princess came within the saintess’ cognitive range.

One of the five monarchs who supported the first saint of Grandiomor. The weakest king who ate the ‘heart’ after driving out the human king following the first saint. that word

An invincible human being in a different sense that no human being can be hostile to.

The moment he found his opponent, Yuel groaned for the first time.

“ah…!”

“You know me well, don’t you? The only remaining princess in the royal family of Grandiomor. He is the last king.”

Even a princess is not invincible. Just as King Grandiomor was swept away by a crowd, a princess may die in an accidental accident. If this land was in the middle of sinking, the princess would have been swept away as well.

However, the saintess still had the ability to prevent this situation.

And an attack on the princess is impossible even if it is the result of omission.

“ruler. Saint Yuel. If you destroy this place, that princess will die. Wow, an innocent princess who doesn’t know anything is crushed to death by a heavy rock!”

Fearing that she would turn away, I kindly explained to the saintess. so that there is not even a slight misunderstanding.

“This profit…”

“Huh? won’t you stop? Die? really die? The princess dies, not me? Are you still going to destroy it?”

‘I brought the princess…!’

Because it is the strongest shield. Shouldn’t it be well written?

Tremors subside. The thick pillar, which seemed about to collapse at any moment, stopped and regained its role. The ceiling, once shaken, was still uneasy, but it didn’t look like it would collapse in a short time.

The princess let out a sigh of relief.

“Whoa! The vibrations have stopped!”

“You never know when it will break again. I think about escaping. More than that, Huey, what are you doing without running away? What the hell is this place?”

The two strode toward me. Then, seeing Yuel in despair while hugging a corpse, I was startled. From the perspective of the two, it would have seemed like a ghost.

I was delighted to welcome them.

“Welcome. You waited a long time.”

It all came together with this one. Those who will ask questions to the military.

Some say Humans are not beasts. Humans, the lord of creation, are superior to all other beings and are special.

However, the fact that the majority of human beings are dominated creates a loophole in their argument.

What is it that governs such a special human being?

A more special human? Sadly, most of the people who claimed to be that kind of being are dead. Even the five monarchs who stole real special powers from the human king disappeared. I had one left over there. It’s like leftovers.

Something greater yet invisible? However, it is desire that guides humans in extreme situations. Numerous evils that exist in the world are not only invisible, but also prove that they do not exist.

Some of those who hate complexity argue that it’s all the logic of power after all. Whether it is a powerful individual or a group united by the same will, they dominate others with their power.

That’s not wrong. But if that is true, man is a beast.

if so….
