I thought I was in some kind of nightmare.

"These, these...!!!!"

Of course, I wasn't frightened because I was preparing my mind.

"Hush...!!!!"

"Oh my God...!!!"

Barquerel and the Crusaders also had a nutty gesture of filling the void, and they only kept their mouths shut with their own hands to calm down.

We've already screamed so much to see the terrible sights.

This screamer, no. to the extent that the Screaming Maniac would gag.

"Saint. What are these...?"

"I don't know."

Inside, it was quite spacious and filled with strange structures.

It was literally filled with strange mechanical devices, ornaments, or objewels, and there were piles of meat and pieces of bone that would have been Bondi humans next to some altar.

Above all, down there.

- Gwwwwwwwwwwww...

- Nieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

- Quiooooooo...

As if abandoned abominations were stretching their arms to crawl up here from the bottom of a huge, deep pit made like a well.

"Pit of Sin!!!!"

Barquerel looks at it and jumps up and grabs his head.

"Saint... Looks like the abominations failed during the crafting."

"I think I can see that."

Seeing those fucking engravers, it seems clear that they were making an abomination in this room. Throw the failures down that pit.

I can't climb because it's deep and I don't have anything to catch.

They were just abandoned.

"These are... I don't know. Have you ever seen her?"

"Well, I've never seen anything like it. What kind of structure is that?"

Winia and Claudie also looked at the unsmoothed pieces of mechanical equipment that filled the walls.

I don't really know what these are.

I grew up looking at all kinds of machines on modern Earth, but I don't know what they are.

Maybe it's a device that aids magical power, or a magical structure that wishes evil. Or it seemed like an altar to summon something, but the strangest thing was the purple jewel stuck up there.

- Jiaying.

All the light in the basement was reflecting an ominous light that felt like it was coming from there.

I don't know anything else, but I think I should take that.

"We must destroy them all, Paladin."

"Saint. We must destroy everything."

It's the sea I agree with.

I can't tear those devices apart and investigate, but I don't know how many days it will take to go back to Istanbul and ask for backup. Then there is a good chance that the pagans will come back and retrieve it or get it up and running again while we're gone.

We have to destroy them all.

No room should be left. Everything here is all made to create an abomination. No matter what happens, we must eliminate our existence.

Still.

"Wait. Let's get everything we can before we smash it. There's a lot here. We need to take all of this... so we can know a little more about their purpose or plans."

Whether it was an important room or a book or something, there were a lot of strange tools left. Barquerel and Elise nod.

"That's right. Of course, we have to take everything we can. It's disgusting, and even leaving it in this world is furious, but you need to take care of it in order to get information."

We collected evidence that was widespread in the field. I focused on what I could put in the bag and what I could hold by hand, and disposed of all the rest.

After clearing up and working on the pavement, we stood in front of the pit.

- Gwwwwwwwwwwwww...

- Nyaaaaaaah! Nyaaaaah! Kiyaaaaaaah!!

- Hororo-rong!! Hororo-rong!!!

The badly twisted abominations were smaller than the ones we killed earlier. Those were the failures. They were Bondi's failures.

"Winia."

When I called out my name, Winia, who nodded her head, started chanting.

"Flame Arrow."

The arrows of fire made so deep flew into the depths of the pit. The flying arrows soon exploded and set fire to the monsters inside.

-Guieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

-Quioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Ahhhhhhh!!!

The monsters scream in the fire.

"... the first thing we found."

Barquerel said in a serious tone as he shed his tears.

"It was something we had to do. They're not human anymore. There will be no dowry but to put an end to the pain."

The paladin and the priest stood beside him and lowered their heads quietly. Elise also said with a depressed face.

"And... if we neglect them, the pagans who have returned may use them."

"You're right. This is the right thing to do."

I said, grasping Elise's shoulders, looking depressed.

"The gods they trusted in their lives will save those poor souls. Elise. There will be more of this going on. So we have to fight endlessly."

"Saint..."

"To establish justice and bring peace to this world. Isn't that right?"

"You're right. As expected, the Saint seems to be strong."

Elise, who nodded, gathered her hands and prayed low.

"Iser Mart..."

"Verde..."

Barquerel and his men also began to pray.

"... then Paladin."

After praying, Bakerell draws his sword.

"I'll start now."

"Got it."

"We condemn the destruction of this facility."

Of course, we must destroy them all.

"Dejaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!"

"Orderly!!!!!"

"Hail Verde!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Our cries were heard in the basement.

I swung my sword to destroy this corrupt facility. The self-repairing archer's sword was so good.

Bachelor, Crusader, and Claudie swung their swords. Elise also wielded the iron mace and wiped out the traces of pagans. So all the evil things were crushed and crushed as they were cut off.

- Eagle.

It was Winia who decorated the last. As soon as I grind the Flame Arrow where I sowed some oil, the room begins to burn.

The carcasses of the abominations were also burned.

Then we ran backwards through the burning cellar and went up to the ground like crazy.

I got a lot of smoke.

First, I brought the purple jewelry.

"Captain Barquerel!!! What the hell happened inside!!"

When I went out, the paladins and priests who were guarding the entrance jumped at us, surprised.

"The pagans were using the people they sold to create an abomination!"

"Abomination!!! That happened!!!!!!!!!"

Barquerel told the two men outside about the progress of the vision. Roughly finished the job and I took everything I could. I've done more than I expected.

- Choke, choke.

I took a bucket of water and looked around.

Then, where is our pagan friend.. Ugh! Fuck?!?!

"What the fuck!!! Holy Knight! What is that?"

Surprised, I immediately grabbed the Crusader's shoulder and said.

"Why are you looking for him?!!"

"Par, paladin. Well, it's, uh... it's..."

Surprisingly, the pagans were completely stunned and spread to the ground! I'm not going to die like that, even if I put an American fucker in a pepper grinder or a press!

"Sin, sorry, Paladin. I accidentally killed him."

The Crusader scratches his head as if in trouble and apologizes like a boy who broke a glass window. No, it's worthless now anyway, so I didn't care if I killed him, but I was going to ask him about the new facts.

I tried to answer it or not... but it's like this crazy crusader.

In fact, at least I didn't kill him because I was drying it. If there were only three with the Crusader and the Priest, it would be natural to kill him.

Well, this is just a fish for a cat.

"Uh-huh, maybe so! Well done!"

"... is that so? You did a good job! Hahaha!"

The paladin laughed loudly. But it's true that you did a good thing, so you don't have to blame it for what happened.

"Anyway! Attention here! Look at this!"

I took out of the bag a purple crystal ball that I brought right away. I took it when I was smashing everything.

"No matter how you look at it, it feels like an evil object."

"The pagans... seem to be an important item."

The purple energy seemingly makes the crystal look ominous.

This is still the most suspicious item, so if you take it, Saint Cadia will like it a lot.

"Winia. Do you feel anything?"

"Well... I don't know this side."

"What about Claudie?"

"Too bad."

Well, I don't know what to think about right now. After the case was cleared, each of them boarded the wagon. You can now stop by the town and make your final check and return to Istanbul.

It was a long journey.

Let's write the report on the way back.

And I have to buy gifts for my wives who are waiting for me.

* * *

There was no problem returning because I completed the mapping. It was foggy, but it was easy to move because it was adjusted accordingly.

It wasn't a raid, it was fast.

So we returned to Istanbul.

"Khh... You're back at last. Paladin. You may be a little tired, but let's go to church together for now. It's important."

"First of all, we should."

As soon as Claudie and Winia returned home, as the matter was settled, Claudie and Winia headed for the church.

Fortunately, the Catholic Saint kept the Church as always. I went straight into the chapel and reported on the progress of the incident.

"Hmm."

The Cardian Saint, who handed over the report and listened to our story, asked me to take out a cigarette.

"This is serious."

It's serious.

The truth of the incident was revealed, and their facility was destroyed.

The work was done brilliantly. But I couldn't figure out what the pagans were, and the fact that I smashed one of them didn't mean that the pagans were gone.

This is just one of countless incidents.

"The villagers who came back first last time were punished through a lawful process. They're all in jail."

The paladins who went before us seem to have returned well.

"By the way, underground research facilities and abomination... it wasn't just human trafficking. It's serious. It's very serious, too."

Saint Kadia continued to read the report with a serious face as she burned a cigarette. I have all the evidence I brought with me.

"I was aware of the situation. I think we need to review this internally. Well done, all of you, Paladin. I'll give you the reward once I've cleared the case. I'll pay you enough for your hard work, so you can rest assured."

"Got it."

I bowed my head in the words of Saint Kadia.

Anyway, it would be nice to give you a reward.

"And I will also give thanks to Sister Elise of the Cross of Fame."

"It was no big deal. Rather, I'm just grateful."

Elise also bowed her head with a formal attitude. The church is different, but if you are a saint of another religion, you have to respect other religions.

"Once the case is settled, I'll give you the papers. It is a necessary process, since we have united the churches in our own way. Can you wait till then?"

Then Elise will have to stay in Istanbul for a while.

"I'll wait."

Elise was positive.

"Paladin."

"Yes."

"You've done a very good job this time. No, it's more than I imagined. Even though it took more than two weeks... so be it. Amazing."

Cadia looked me in the eye and rubbed off the cigarette on the ashtray.

"This is something that needs to be reviewed internally. Seriously. I'm sorry I just got back, but I think we should give Saint Bone some time today."

There seems to be a lot to talk about.

It was still daylight time. If you go back now, there will be no Karin and Risha, so it's okay to stay a little longer. Liztina needs to see you tomorrow.

"Saint. May I have a moment with Elise?"

"So be it."

I went out with Elise once.
