NOVEL NEXT Chapter 75.1
The entire arena froze cold. Shuri’s face also stiffened.
Just to make it clear, the Red faith was a place that produced inquisitors.
What does that mean?
It means that all the Red priests here are inquisitors, damn it! In front of the inquisitors! Blaspheming against the gods!
Shuri wiped his sweaty face.
‘Stay calm.’
Yeah, damn it. This must be a dream.
It’s just a dream that I’m having because I’m nervous about the test!
Yeah, there’s no way Isaac, this bastard, will say warm words to boost my morale!
Even if this guy is stupid, he won’t do something crazy like destroying the face of the god in front of the inquisitors…
“Isaac Eshua shattered the statue of the god!”
…He did it, damn it!
The most forbidden thing in the Holy Empire has happened!
In the end, Shuri grabbed Isaac by the collar and shouted.
“#$%^&!”
“Brother! Speak, use words.”
“Have you not fixed your bad habits from when you were a baby?”
“Cough.”
Isaac coughed awkwardly.
Come to think of it, he used to break the faces of gods when he was a child. Ah, indeed, a three-year-old habit lasts until eighty. A person should be consistent, right? Well, kids.
However, Shuri raised his voice as if he had put on a strong front. This guy is now feeling proud of himself and embarrassed?!
“At that time, you were a brat! You idiot! (It was a treasure! You damn bastard!)”
Doesn’t it feel like it’s the same as back when they were kids?
‘Who the hell gathered here now…!’
However, Isaac realized his mistake but didn’t think he did anything wrong!
Why?
Because who summons a stinking divine object from the gods?! Just that makes him feel dirty enough, and now he’s shattering the face of the god of criminal justice? Oh, that old bastard. Just die.
Is that all?!
Did that damn guy say that he would only give blessings to those with faith?!
This was discrimination!
[…But according to those conditions, all priests could receive blessings, so isn’t it fair?]
‘You damn bastard! I can’t receive it because I don’t have faith!’
It’s unfair!
[Ah.]
Anyway, even though they had planned everything, they were going to see the Red receiving blessings and shining in the competition!
However, Shuri was taken aback by the gathering gazes.
‘Damn it! Their eyes have changed after all!’
The Red priests scrutinized Isaac from top to bottom. There was an unsettling sign of whispering.
Lilai, in the midst of other priests’ gazes, just smiled indifferently.
“Hahaha, our kid is still young. Seems like he was nervous.”
…Nervous enough to blaspheme against the gods?
Is everything really okay with the Blue??
Meanwhile, Kina’s gaze sweeping up and down Isaac was also strange. His face, shocked and not knowing what to do, was unsettling. Shuri couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
‘Damn it, Kina’s words have a big impact!’
It’s not just any little Pope. There’s a reason he’s called that. That’s how high his faith is.
“Eshua.”
Damn! He was wrong…
“How did you break the statue of the god? What’s the secret?”
Damn, there’s another crazy guy like Isaac here!
Thanks to that, the Red apprentice priests were about to lose their minds.
What? A secret?
“Hey! Don’t you need to check his faith too? How dare you protect Isaac Eshua?!”
However, Kina looked at them as if the they were insects bothering him.
“What’s the big deal about that god?”
“What do you mean?”
“Red’s god or whatever. If it’s not the Gold God, all gods are the same as lesser gods. Don’t let these lowlifes interfere.”
“…?!”
Shuri became dizzy.
As expected, it is a golden rule that they reject everyone but themselves…!
On the other hand, the ever-smiling eyes of the Red Cardinal were now squinted with a stern look. Shuri knew that it was the gaze of an inquisitor.
Shuri quickly grabbed Isaac’s head.
“Ahaha! This guy, Isaac! Saying he’s testing the faith in the arena, what are we going to do about this! Everyone was surprised! I’m sorry. Our kid is cautious. Indeed, our team’s brain! Apologize now!”
Shuri squeezed Isaac’s head, holding it tightly.
“Apologize!”
“…I apologize sincerely.”
“Once more!”
“…I sincerely apologize.”
Whether he was truly sorry or not, it wasn’t clear, but the Red Cardinal seemed pleased. The slightly raised corner of the mouth was unsettling.
Especially when facing the pure and noble Eshua.
“It’s going to be fun to get rid of the troublemaker…”
“If he’s a problem child, isn’t it the Red Cardinal who let the statue of the god to be destroyed?”
…This guy?
The Red Cardinal glared at the Gold Cardinal.
However, the Gold Cardinal didn’t stop.
“You let the statue of the main god be smashed. Rather than a casual trainee, I think it would be a good idea to investigate the faith of the Red leader?”
‘Is this how it’s going to come out now?’
The Red Cardinal smiled mysteriously at the Gold Cardinal , but the Gold Cardinal frowned.
If Red starts investigating Isaac, in the worst-case scenario, they might try to expose even the god Isaac chose.
From the Gold’s perspective, would they let a crazy guy drag Isaac away?
In the eyes of the two Cardinals facing each other, sparks flew.
Although Isaac unintentionally dragged the two major forces into a fight, he stood his ground.
‘How long are they going to keep greeting each other?’
Isaac looked at Shuri, who was holding his head.
At that point, the judge standing in the training hall was sweating profusely. Originally, Isaac should have been taken away immediately when he broke the statue.
However, the way the Cardinals were glaring at each other seemed odd.
If they usually crossed the line, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but for some reason, it seemed precarious because of the presence of Isaac Eshua.
If they moved as they usually did, a real faith war might break out.
What was even more frightening was Kina Berit.
‘Does he have that… Eighth Level sacred technique in his hand?’
Yeah, that, the moment they touched Isaac, he might attack without looking back. Naiser also seemed to sense that and drew his weapon.
Eyes turned.
This was a situation where even as judges, they could only look up at the sky.
‘Ha… Can we just… proceed with the test?’
As a peace-breaking Inquisitor, have you ever wished for peace like this?
‘All because of this one Isaac Eshua.’
That’s when it happened.
“Merely an apprentice’s actions shouldn’t be too extreme for the Inquisition. It’s also a mistake on the part of the Red for not dealing with sudden actions. For now, proceed with the Pentagon.”
At the Red Cardinal’s words, the judge shed tears in his heart.
Damn… I’m alive.
He almost got killed by Kina Berit.
