Hero without Blood or Tear

Everyone was surprised and silent, and a calm voice came in.

“The Temple of Chilma?”

It was a familiar voice. I turn my head toward the man who just walked into the room, and the nazi groans.

“Ah…. ”

A big body with good bounty, a loving face like a grandmother taking care of her grandchild, she was the abbot Angela in my memory. I'm the Deputy Prelate now.

“Vice Prelate.”

The nearby nuns bow their heads. I was glad to see her. Angela worked closely with the Demon King in the past.

Especially after Valpurgis' death. Valpurgis was a colleague of mine and a daughter to her. The loss of a precious person gave us a friendship beyond our years.

“I saw it. I'm sure it'll help. ”

Maybe Angela would take it seriously. But isn't she furious?

“What the hell! Who is this lunatic?! The Seven Horses Temple! That book is a thousand years old legend! ”

The elders and high nuns surrounding Angela's pain wink.

“Should the high abbot engage a mercenary at a critical time? ”

“No, Deputy Prelate. ”

“Hurry up and send them out. It looks like Sister Valpurgis brought her as a guest, so there's no need to kick her out. But you should have stopped him from coming into this room! Gentlemen!”

Angela's irritating attitude immediately brought an end to the situation. I quickly became a bluffer. Some nuns cling to me.

“I will not punish you separately. Stay calm and leave! The Council is in a state of emergency! ”

I was a little curious as I was pushed out. Angela in her memory was more gentle and wise than anyone else. Mentioning the temple of Chilma was not someone who would drive them away.

And you're just gonna kick him out like this?

It's strange...

“The Temple of the Child Horses! The world is in chaos, and people are talking nonsense!" ”

I even ridiculed him openly. Then, for a moment, all the tempted nuns bow their heads in shame.

“I'm sorry, Deputy Prelate. Our faith was lacking. ”

For a moment I was completely excluded from their attention. I didn't want to be offended when I left, but I met Angela at that moment. Her calm eyes were saying something.

In this situation, it seemed that what appeared to be more than just an appearance. I finally left in peace. Valpurgis is with us. We walk side by side in a quiet hallway with no one.

“I'm sorry. I had no idea the nuns were so stubborn. ”

Valpurgis apologizes with his head down. He doesn't know what to do. She has a powerful sense of sadness.

“Balor, I heard you have excellent knowledge of the Darkness.... I hope it helped the high abbot... ”

“I don't think you're going to be disappointed. ”

“Huh?"

I pointed to the front instead of the answer. There was one of the elder nuns waiting for us. Looks like you're just ahead of the shortcut.

“Come with me. Balor.”

Now I can see how things are going. This elder nun must have been sent by the Deputy Mother Angela. Perhaps Angela wanted to meet me, avoiding everyone's attention. Soon we were led to a secret place.

“If you wait for the example, he will come. Goodbye.”

Soon after, Angela arrives.

“Vice Prelate!”

Valpurgis hugged her like a loving daughter.

“One, my little curly girl. Take off your armor at the convent. It's so hard and cold to come here in armor. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Valpurgis looks like a good daughter who listens well. I thought I knew why she liked this convent so much. The nuns must have filled her emptiness without brothers and sisters.

“Dear Valar, I'm Angela, deputy principal. ”

The polite greeting to me was, in fact, Angela's memory. I, too, took off my feather hat and bowed my head.

“I am Balor of Supandau. ”

“I heard you saved Valpurgis. Thank you so much."

“No. I lived with your help in the first place. I'm just returning the favor of my life. ”

“You're modest. I think I know why Valpurgis took part. ”

I knew that attitude in front of everyone was a lie. Angela was doing me a great favor just by saving Valpurgis. Thanks to you, the atmosphere was better than I thought. But I got right to the point because the details of the high abbot were not good.

“Valar, you've seen the Chilma Temple? ”

“Yes, I did. ”

Angela nods softly as she confirms.

“I see…. Oh, my God. I can't believe there was a sacred relic in the legend. ”

“Do you believe me? ”

“To be honest, it's hard to believe. But there's no reason to think it's a lie. So we created this place. ”

It's reasonable to do the job. She's a good grandmother to work with.

“And this is also for Balor's safety. You may have tried to persuade us, but it's dangerous to publicly say that you saw the Temple of Chilma. We don't even know if there's a traitor left in the convent. ”

“I was reckless. ”

If I had saved the high abbot today, there's a good chance that my plague would have gotten into Pezamut's ear. Pezamut will never forgive anyone for stopping his own heart. In addition, the contents of the Temple of the Seven Horses are knowledge that the Demon King covets.

I can almost make you throw up even if you torture me. Angela predicted that and then acted like that. You are a wise man.

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

“No. I can't put the people who stood up for this council in danger. Even if it's not the Temple of Chilma, it's best to keep the job of rescuing the high abbot a secret. You will have a reputation, but you will have a vendetta against Pezamut. ”

There is no end to the wheel of silver. I didn't want to imagine what the devil's wrath would do to me. It was not time to flirt with the Demon King yet.

“Valar, may I confirm that you have seen the Chilma Temple? ”

Of course it's different from respecting me.

“Of course.”

When my permission fell, questions came out about the Dark Army. It was known only to those who had gained the hidden wisdom. But Angela couldn't hide her amazement as I answered without a hitch.

“You're only a few years old! How could you accumulate such profound knowledge? ”

Furthermore, I told Angela that I would be asked if she had any questions. If others saw this, they might open their mouths in a dazzling way. The Deputy Prelate of the Valfur Sisters was called a symbol of wisdom.

If you have any questions about one of the mercenaries, ask the Deputy Director. He showed an attitude to let you know as much as the opportunity presents itself. Balpurgis, who was next to him, was surprised.

“… to apply. Your knowledge is immense. ”

Angela's eyes widened as well. She initially behaved like a supervisor, but soon turned into a student who asked the teacher a question. I expressed my views on the Demon King Pezamut, a nun's interest.

“The dark army that Pezamut served has been a secret for a long time. But we might be able to find out if we look at the Grand Abbot's condition today. Actually, I guess.... ”

“Ah... Baller's knowledge is astonishing. ”

Angela shakes her head with her mouth wide open.

“I can only assume you've really seen Chilma Temple. What Balor is saying right now is not in any books stored in the secret vaults of the Sisters. ”

She changes her attitude and cautiously asks.

“Who are you? ”

I thought I was just a different person than I looked.

“A wise man, you don't deserve it. He's just ignorant.”

“Do you think I'm an idiot? I don't think a common mercenary would be looking for a endangered nun and memorizing the contents of the Temple of Chilma. ”

“The day will come when things will be clear. Just know that you are a deserter trying to protect humanity. ”

Once you draw the line, Angela no longer asks. Instead, you look down at me.

“Thank you for standing up for the convent that I saw. I will escort you to the High Abbot right away. ”

Through the secret passageway, we head to the high abbot's chambers.

“Those who stand in a bundle are reliable nuns under my command. Don't worry. Baller's work will be kept secret today. ”

I felt like Angela was trying to protect me somehow.

“Here you are.”

You arrive at the heavy door, and an evil energy spills from the inside.

“Eat your heart out. Seeing the view of the room can be very shocking. ”

Angela blessed me and Valpurgis. It was because if I encountered a powerful darkness, I could go mad or die.

“I'll go in.”

Inside Angela's guide, I see a small statue-sized abbot lying in a white glowing sacred temple. Somehow she looked like a little girl. Near the Sanctuary, the high nuns sat on their knees, constantly praying.

“Ah!”

I sighed at the darkness that consumed the high abbot. A black darkness rises like a spider's leg around her chest.

I immediately identified the Darkness.

- The great energy of death.

- The undeniable master of destiny.

“Valler, do you recognize it? ”

“… Yes. ”

Angela did not conceal her frustration as soon as I saw her. Why not? Even when the nuns were hanging, they couldn't figure out who they really were. But I'm the one who's shaking the most.

“That... is the dead incarnation of the great dark warrior, the one crouching in the grave." ”

It is natural that the convent was unable to identify itself. He would, too, because the dead incarnation of that ‘one crouching in the grave’ was an important story in the latter part.

Then why are they here? But that wasn't what caught my attention the most. That power was because the player was absorbable.

“Dead incarnate? I've never heard of anyone crouching in a grave before. ”

“I will. It's a dark army not known to Humans. I've only seen the Temple of Chilma. He oversees the tomb, also known as the King of the Cemetery. In other words, it's the power of command. ”

“Commandeering! How awful.... ”

Angela draws the sign as if it were awkward just to hear it.

“That power is the incarnation of the 'one crouching in the grave', a shell that died a long time ago. But even that shell is lethal. ”

“Then what's that corpse for? Is it used to curse enemies and kill them? ”

You shake your head at Angela's question. That's what the high abbot would look like. But that dead incarnate corpse was not the obvious use.

“That is the ‘Sacred Relic of Darkness’, which gives a powerful power. It is coveted and reluctant by all the Horsemen. ”

Valpurgis tilts his head in wonder.

“Are you both covetous and reluctant? Strange. Even a parent sells for power. Even if you were cursed, you wouldn't hesitate. ”

“It's not just a curse. That mean corpse is asking for its life in return for its power. ”

It was one of the darkest sacred relics of all. Grants abilities to those who accept the power of the Incarnate, but takes their lives instead.

Maybe the cowardly Pezamut couldn't find a way to use it with his hands. Then it was written as a trap at the end of the question. You're probably pretty sure you figured out a good way to roll your head. It actually worked.

But if you know a special way, you can save your life by embracing the power of that darkness. I decided to throw a battle here.

“I can use that power to save the high abbot. ”

“Is that possible?! ”

“Is that true?! Balor!”

Angela and Valpurgis. But there was definitely a prerequisite.

“But I need you to listen to me. ”

“What is it? ”

I looked Angela straight in the face and said,

“The heart of an angel. ”

Perhaps they have a plan to use the heart of an angel for the high abbot. But the high abbot couldn't accept the power of darkness, so he only killed her twice.

Whereas I am different. I pay with the heart of an angel and take the power of darkness.

This was never a chance again.

If I remember correctly, the job you get from absorbing the dead incarnate is "the one without blood or tears." It was the top of the line for a warrior's rank.

I still remember now. An enemy with neither blood nor tears appears on a skeleton dragon under the Riches' escort. The cold air of death that filled every corner froze over all living things.

It was truly spectacular.

He was the king of the dead.
