Chapter 267: Priest Rone Fordbang (2)
A person sitting in a chair, having trespassed into Kyung-joon’s Study Villa.
A pure white suit with the front open a little too much.
A pure white cloak with a gold border surrounding the entire body.
And black belts and shoes engraved with gold cross patterns, giving the viewer a simple and modern feel.
He was the Holy Cross priest, Rone Fordbang, whom he had seen once at the awards ceremony.
Rone didn’t care at all that the owner of the villa had come in, and was sitting in a chair in the Study Villa, reading a book.
It was a book that Kyung-joon had been studying and researching.
His half-open eyes could be seen between his slightly bushy, semi-curly shag hair.
Slowly from left to right.
And quickly back from right to left.
Every time it moves like that.
Sarak. Jingle.
Sarak. Jingle.
The sound of turning the pages of the book was accompanied by the clinking of a cross bracelet worn loosely on his hand.
After hearing that sound about three times.
“……What.”
Kyung-joon said.
Then.
“Ah, you’re here. Excuse me for a moment, otherworlder Kyung-joon.”
Tak.
The priest closed the book Kyung-joon was reading.
It was a book titled 『The Singularity Is Near』 that Kyung-joon had taken out for a Korean book review performance evaluation.
Rone then imitates Kyung-joon’s words and continues speaking.
“And what do you mean ‘what…’ Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten who I am?”
After what happened at the awards ceremony, Kyung-joon, whose memory was dozens of times better than others, couldn’t forget it.
From the beginning.
This is a provocation thrown by Rone thinking that Kyung-joon would not have forgotten him.
Kyung-joon did not answer Rone’s words.
He showed it right away.
[Unique skill 『Multi Mana Control: Nano (Lv.8)』 ]
Kyung-joon immediately drew up his mana.
He then crammed dozens of Energy Shooter’s equations, closest to zero casting, into the mana he had drawn up.
The time it took to get here is less than 0.08 seconds.
It’s shorter than the time it takes for a human to receive a sensory signal and transmit it to the brain.
Therefore.
Holy Cross Priest Rone will have to start by being hit by dozens of Energy Shooters without being able to dodge.
It must have been like that.
[You have entered a PvP impossible area.]
[You cannot subdue or injure the other party.]
The status window that appeared when Kyung-joon said ‘what…’ popped up again.
It wasn’t that the attack didn’t work.
It was impossible to attack at all.
“What the hell is this…?”
Kyung-joon raised his mana again, but.
[You have entered a PvP impossible area.]
[You cannot subdue or injure the other party.]
The unbelievable status window proved to be no fake.
“Haha, it’s no use.”
Drag.
Rone got up, deliberately pulling the chair up, not caring if the floor was scratched.
“I have already sprinkled holy water containing the bishop-level baptism and purified this place. Therefore, it is a space of peace where no one can harm each other.
Study Villa here has been transformed into a ‘space where no one can harm’ by the blessings of God.
In other words, a PvP impossible space.
Therefore, Kyung-joon could never attack Rone systematically.
“Well… it may be a little unfamiliar to otherworlders who kill each other as they please. Anyway, this is a space of peace descended under God’s blessing. Then, how about laying down your weapons for a while and having a conversation with me? I have a lot to talk to you about.”
It was the moment Rone said that.
[Unique skill 『Multi Mana Control: Nano (Lv.8)』 ]
Woo woo woo!
Kyung-joon drew up his mana again, and
That moment!
[Advanced skill 『Energy Shooter (Lv.9)』 ]
Shuwooong!
Energy Shooters, which had not even been cast before, were created around Kyung-joon.
“Huh…! Oh, no?!”
Rone, whose eyes widened as if he had just seen an unbelievable sight.
However, the moment Kyung-joon put the last formula into Energy Shooter for the final launch.
[You have entered a PvP impossible area.]
[You cannot subdue or injure the other party.]
Pazzick!
The Energy Shooter disappeared on the spot, leaving only the smell of ozone.
“……What about a rebound?”
This time, instead of shooting Energy Shooter directly at Rone to hit him, Kyung-joon tried to hit him with a rebound by bouncing off the wall.
However, the moment the collision equation regarding the rebound was entered into Energy Shooter at the very end, it was immediately rejected by an 『unknown force』.
“Haha…! A rebound! That’s an idea I never thought of. Whew… You otherworlders really surprise me every time! Hahaha!”
Rone clutched his stomach and laughed, a frivolous voice unlike a priest.
Soon, he stopped his frivolous laughter.
“Didn’t I tell you? This is a space of peace where no one can harm each other. That applies to me too, so you don’t have to run around like a rat cornered. Cats don’t even want to play with mice that pretend to be dead.”
Rone’s provocative line.
Nevertheless, Kyung-joon ignored it and gathered his mana again.
However.
[PvP is not possible in the area…….]
Pazzick!
Woo woo woo!
[PvP is not possible in the area…….]
Pazzick!
Woo woo woo!
…….
Pazzick! Pazzick! Pazzick!
All the magic Kyung-joon tried was stopped by an unknown force before it could be properly fired.
“Hahaha.”
Rone enjoyed watching Kyung-joon like that.
“Oh, what is this?”
He was wandering around Kyung-joon’s Study Villa as if it were his own house.
“It seems to work when you put in a scroll… Oh! The cold wind is blowing! Hahaha! This is so much fun. I have a lot to report to the Holy See. What’s the name of this magic tool…?”
The moment Rone said that.
Tatatatantang!
Dozens of Energy Shooter rebounds passed by him.
Our priest, who froze in place.
“Euaaagh?!”
Tatatang!
Tatatatantang!
Tatatatatatang!
After that, dozens and hundreds of Energy Shooter rebounds bounced around in the Study Villa and struck.
Shuwooowoo…….
“Huh… Huh…”
Rone’s face is full of tension and fear.
Of course, he is unharmed.
As if it were a lie, all of the rebounds missed Rone.
Kyung-joon, who confirmed this, rests his chin on his hand and makes a slightly serious expression.
“Hmm… If you have the will to kill or harm, the magic itself will be canceled, and if you don’t have the will to kill or harm, the magic will be activated, but you won’t be able to attack… If you shot 999 random rebounds and they all missed, it’s almost certain. Tsk.”
Kyung-joon clicked his tongue as he muttered to himself.
Then.
“Haha! Hahaha!”
Rone, convinced of his safety, burst into laughter as if he had never been scared.
“That’s why I told you, you can’t do anything to me. You are a very rebellious person. But thanks to you, my faith has become stronger. That’s right! This space blessed by God is invincible! Ah, how almighty! Ah, how great! I give you my praise!”
Kyung-joon’s struggles only served to solidify what Rone called God’s blessing.
Nevertheless.
Kyung-joon did not give up struggling.
Scratch. Scratch.
Kyung-joon takes out a note from his inventory and starts writing something down.
It is a record.
The characteristics of this 『unknown force』 called God’s blessing he had just encountered.
And he’s trying to solve it.
An equation to break this 『unknown force』 that calls itself the name of God.
Scratch. Scratch.
Scratch. Scratch.
“Hoo… Even the most foolish otherworlder, you are the first to be so rebellious, wrapped in stubbornness and obsession.”
Rone gave up wandering around the Study Villa and approached Kyung-joon.
And then.
“Still, I must say that your will to rebel against God is admirable.”
Pat. Pat.
He patted Kyung-joon’s head unpleasantly.
“That book was ‘The Singularity Is Near,’ wasn’t it? The author of that book was a foolish creature like you, denying faith and dreaming of eternal life in human skin. Humans can only live forever through God, tsk. Even after you’ve just experienced the power of God firsthand, will you still be foolish?”
Flick.
Rone threw Kyung-joon’s book on the floor.
It was.
“Give up.”
That was what it meant.
“Until I leave this place on my own feet, this is a Sanctuary. As you said, whether you have the will to kill or harm, even if it’s a sudden lightning strike from outside, it’s a peace that can never be harmed…”
“Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t experimented outside.”
Taat!
Kyung-joon kicked the floor and went outside the Study Villa.
At the same time.
[Pseudo epic magic 『Heaven’s Punishment』 ]
Kwaga Gagagwang!
A huge laser struck down on the Study Villa like lightning.
Shuwooowoo…….
The smoke clears.
In front of it was the intact Study Villa, without a single scratch.
“Really… to still doubt God, the power of God… I must say you’re stupid.”
Rone, unharmed, who was no longer surprised.
A very powerful premise.
『Nothing in that space can be harmed.』
This, which they call God’s blessing.
It existed here as an axiom and an irresistible system.
This is the strength of the Holy Cross.
Their interference in the name of God, not only here in the Holy Cross Faction.
It was so powerful that it could interfere to some extent with the entire Humanity Cantons.
“Didn’t I tell you at the awards ceremony? Let’s wait and see.”
Rone smirked and scoffed at Kyung-joon.
Kyung-joon, who has been insulted countless times so far.
Nevertheless.
“Hoo… I didn’t want to use this method.”
Instead of getting angry, Kyung-joon just let out a deep sigh.
“I admit it. It would be difficult to break through the strange power of yours head-on with my current magic and scientific skills.”
“You realized that now? Then stop struggling and come back to the Frozen Ear and finish the story…”
“So.”
Kyung-joon interrupted Rone.
“Let’s go with logic instead of magic and science.”
Woo woo woo!
[Mana Mechanics’ research skill 『Vector Calculus』 ]
Kyung-joon applied Vector Calculus’ mana to the entire Study Villa.
The mana contained no murderous intent, no intent to harm, and no small chance that Rone would be accidentally injured.
“You said it’s a sanctuary until you get out of here on your own feet? But you have no intention of leaving the Study Villa.”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The building of the Study Villa was being disassembled piece by piece of wooden parts.
“Then I guess the villa has to go out instead.”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Study Villa, which was instantly disassembled by the precisely calculated mana contained in Vector Calculus.
It didn’t end there.
Chachachachak!
The Study Villa was instantly reassembled at a short distance.
“Uh…?”
Rone, who was left alone on a flat, empty lot.
“Kyung-joon-nim. I apologize. I had no idea such a scoundrel would break into the territory without our knowledge……”
As soon as he came out, Kyung-joon issued an urgent order to the villagers through the territory skill 『By the Incarnation’s Command』.
To gather here, all fully armed.
“I’m sure he used the blessing of God or something.”
“Even so, I am truly ashamed! I apologize!”
“It’s okay. More than that, please surround him so that he can’t escape.”
“Yes!”
Rone was already completely surrounded by Kyung-joon’s villagers.
Rone, sweating profusely, said to the villagers in an appealing way.
“Haha… Ha… Are you all going to rebel against God together…? If you repent and repent now, God will bless you…”
“Blessings. When we really needed blessings was when we lost our land, our families, and everything to the Black Secret Village. What were you, the representative of God, doing then?”
“Hahaha… Always watching with a warm heart, always ready to save……”
“God will do the same for you now. He will watch over you with a warm heart, always ready to save you. But.”
Step. Step. Step. Step.
“He’ll just be ready.”
The villagers pointed their mana-surrounded farm tools at Rone in unison.
“And it was Kyung-joon-nim who actually saved us.”
“H, Hiiiiiick… Go, God always loves those who are merciful…”
Rone’s face turned pale.
He looks at Kyung-joon with a desperate expression.
To this, Kyung-joon
Pat. Pat.
“Seeing you come all the way here and talk about God, you certainly have great faith.”
As he had done before, he just stroked his head as if it were cute.
“Everyone. He is a valuable guest, so please give him your love. Okay?”
“Yes!”
The surroundings of Rone gradually darkened with human figures.
“Hiyaaaaaah?! S, Save me―!”
And then the view went completely dark.
