Chapter 157: Cult Judge (2)

Rring .
Suddenly, a sound of a bell was heard .
Hyacinth turned her head .
A parade of numerous people wearing white clothing .
A group who wore white hoods and held bells in their hands were heading towards this place .
In the middle, two large men were moving a huge picture .
A picture of clouds, sea, and the sun .
And on top of the three, there was a benevolent mother .
Rring . Rring .
The sound of the bells gradually got closer .
Then, a woman who wore a pure white helmet approached riding a white horse .
“It’s strange . A strong scent of flowers is coming from this small girl . ”
The woman’s voice was heavy like a rock .
However, the woman couldn’t take her eyes off of Hyacinth .
She couldn’t .
She slowly approached Hyacinth and touched her face .
She smelled her hair and once again, looked into Hyacinth’s eyes .
Then, the woman realized her own shameful conduct .
“A bewitching scent!”
A bewitching scent which most said succubus had .
But, the quality of scent Hyacinth gave off was completely different .
An overwhelming scent that encompassed everything .
From the moment it was smelled, it made people want to get closer to her and possess her .
The desire to possess her even if they needed to cut her flesh naturally occurred .
It was something that wasn’t possible .
At least, to the woman, this sort of scent shouldn’t have worked on her .
“The God of Cloud ‘Soon’, God of Sea ‘Ryung’, God of Earth ‘Han’, and their mother ‘Idea’ . Please guide this poor sheep . ”
Rring . Riring .
Numerous bells were created around the woman .
It was the ceremony of cleansing . It was to cleanse the consciousness that could have made a mistake due by being mesmerized by the scent .
“Who are you? Do you know me?”
Hyacinth cringed .
However, she couldn’t do anything about her curiosity .
Her existence . It was because all her memories were empty .
However, when the woman looked into Hyacinth’s eyes again, she shook once more .
“How could such beings exist in this world…?!”
The woman bit her lips strongly .
Even if she had the ceremony of cleansing, she was shaken .
It couldn’t and shouldn’t be possible .
The woman was the cult judge of the Holy City Mulalan .
As a holy body who had to judge cults, she couldn’t overlook this situation .
‘I need to kill her . ’
The woman took out a huge sword from her back .
The girl, Hyacinth had no evil feelings .
Evil energy couldn’t be felt from her either .
However, this scent and body odor paralyzed everything .
If she had this much of an effect on herself, it was obvious how it would be for others .
Hyacinth’s scent didn’t make distinctions between women and men .
“S, save me . ”
Hyacinth was completely frightened .
At that moment .
All the bells in the woman’s surrounding disappeared .
The sound of the bells also died off .
‘I need to kill…’
The woman lost strength from her hand slowly .
Thud!
Within time, she dropped the sword .
At first, she thought it was the bewitching scent that succubus had .
However, the more she smelled the scent, for some reason she gained a holy feeling .
And so, she made a conclusion .
That she couldn’t judge her .
“…I will cover your scent with the ‘holy cloth’ . Until you are able to control your scent on your own, you won’t be able to remove that cloth . ”
The woman gave up on killing Hyacinth .
Instead, she took out a triangular bell from her side .
Diring!
As the bell rang, few layers of cloth came down from the sky .
And wrapped Hyacinth .
A holy accessory that was only accessible by the woman .
A holy bell and cloth .
A treasured item among treasured items’ that could block all impious actions .
“Seraphina! Did something happen?”
The paladins ran towards the woman .
The woman, Seraphina shook her head .
“Transport this child safely to Mulalan . Nothing should happen in between . Understand?”
“This cloth is…”
“Don’t ask any further, and you must never remove the cloth either . You need to send her to the sage king . Whatever happens, you must!”
“I understand . ”
As Seraphina re-emphasized, the paladins nodded their heads .
Whether or not this child was good or evil would be decided at Mulalan .
The paladins carefully took Hyacinth who was wrapped in the cloth .
Seraphina looked at her worriedly from behind .
‘The sage king would make the right decision . ’
A girl who suddenly appeared in front of her .
Seraphina couldn’t be sure if she was sent by the gods or by the devil .
However, she had no doubt that the sage king would make the right decision .
‘Either way, the evil energy is too strong . ’
Then, Seraphina looked beyond the horizon .
Beyond the horizon, there was the Great City .
* * *
Through the ‘Sky Devil’s Trial’, the reward Muyoung chose was Isaac’s boots .
The Herme’s Boots he was using originally had the ‘acceleration’ option but to Muyoung who now had four horns had no particular use for them anymore .
It became the item that needed to be replaced first among all his equipment, but as he completed the Sky Devil’s trial, it was the reward that caught his eyes .
‘It was owned by a demon king who battled with the humans in the past . ’
A time when Muyoung wasn’t summoned to the Underworld yet .
The humans fought a war with the demon kings .
Among them, Isaac was known to be the top-ranked demon king .
It was known that his equipment disappeared with him after a huge sacrifice destroyed him in the end .
He wasn’t sure why that was on the list for rewards but… .
‘The Great Calamity after 10 years . After that, the beginning of a full-fledged war started . ’
Muyoung thought about it again .
The Great Calamity occurred and when the humans were all summoned, the demon gods started to move after their fight for the fragments .
The humans were slowly pushed back from the front lines and fights between each other slowly started to arise .
‘It was good luck for me to find this here . ’
Either way, Isaac was in a different league among the demon kings .
Since the demon kings weren’t all in the same rank .
Muyoung had never seen Isaac and just heard stories regarding him but if there were no exaggerations in his military power, it meant it was worth anticipating .
Name: Isaac’s Boots
Rank: S
Classification: Equippable type
Endurance: 150,000
Effect: A relic of the Demon King Isaac . There is a strong magical power within it .
* Stamina +30
* Agility +30
* Evil tendency +50
* Blink (A distance movement proportional to your intelligence and wisdom)
The stats were all quite decent .
Instead of raising one stat, it was better to have a variety of stats that increased in terms of balance in general .
Although it did bother him that the evil tendency went up, he was more interested in the special ability ‘Blink’ .
Blink .
It was a teleportation type skill .
Like what Alexandro used, it was difficult to transport long distance but he was able to instantly run towards a place he could see with his eyes .
On top, since it didn’t have a restriction on the number of times it could be used…
It meant that he could use it until he was exhausted, moving to an advantageous place .
‘It is quite rare to find a transportation ability attached to equipment . ’
Among equipment with a transportation type ability, there was hardly anything that had decent stats as well .
From what Muyoung knew, this was so .
Normally, he needed to give up stats to gain a great effect but Isaac’s boots had both .
It was no different than normal leather boots in the outer appearance but his strength increased the moment he wore them .
‘This is nice . ’
It adjusted it’s size to fit the user on its own and a black energy rose strongly on his body .
It was because his evil tendency had risen even more .
And in proportion to this, the black wings on his back became larger .
‘After absorbing the Great Harmony, my black wings are growing bigger and bigger . ’
Muyoung sat in the Sun Guild’s castle and frowned .
At first, he didn’t even realize it .
But, now when three days had passed, the wings were the size of an average adult’s body .
As time passed, the black wings only continued to grow .
These wings couldn’t be hidden like Gabriel’s wings .
Thanks to this, there might even be ‘rumors that he was a devil’ .
‘Two pairs of wings…’
Besides the pair of black wings, if he opened Gabriel’s wings, in total there were two pairs .
Four wings were completed .
Gabriel’s wings were on the top side and the black devil’s wings were on the bottom side .
Tsk!
He clicked his tongue .
Right now, Muyoung was in the Great City .
He was looking for information he needed within the restored Sun Guild castle .
As Alexandro, Lennon, and Hyacinth died, the Sun Guild lost most of their power .
Nevertheless, they weren’t collapsing because of the vice guild master Abdullon’s presence .
But, if Muyoung was to also leave them now, the Sun Guild would crumble like a sand castle .
That’s right . Right now, the Sun Guild was no different than a sand castle .
However, it was a necessary power .
The Great City was a place that was connected to the Blue Temple .
It was because the Sun Guild was the only one that could control this place .
If the Sun Guild was to collapse, this place would become chaos .
All kinds of different huge groups would try to take control of the Great City .
It was obvious they would ignore the beginners’ safety .
‘The Sun Seal . ’
Muyoung had the majority of the seals .
The seals were an important strength that represented the guild .
It meant that he could control the Sun Guild depending on his wishes .
‘I can’t stay here forever . ’
There were a lot of things Muyoung had to do .
Although he did have the seals, if he wanted to take the position of the guild master, it would take too long .
Since he didn’t build his foundation within the guild but suddenly appeared .
It was obvious that most of the Sun Guild members would oppose as they were very traditional .
Even if he was to be treated as an emissary, the situation would still be the same .
Rather than that, it was better for him to take what he wanted and move moderately .
‘Information and talents . ’
He had no thoughts to help the Sun Guild .
Just, because of the need for the Sun Guild, he was planning to not let it collapse .
Afterwards, it was his goal to get his hands on information and talents and leave for the Demon God’s Territory .
To prepare for what is to come in the future, he needed to raise his strength .
Thump!
It was at that moment .
The door opened and Oscar came in .
“Mu, Muyoung! Something big happened!”
Oscar was Merlin’s successor .
Although he did run away after just one year, because he seemed to be listening quite well after his punishment, Muyoung was using him as a secretary .
“What’s wrong?”
“A cult judge from a place called Mulalan came!”
Mulalan?
Muyoung knitted his brows .
Why would someone from the holy city come to a place like this?
“And the cult judge says she wants to meet you!”
Oscar had a decent amount of knowledge about the Underworld .
He was partially forced to learn by Merlin .
Of course, he also knew how scary the Holy City Mulalan and the cult judge from that place were .
If someone was to cause trouble and get caught by the cult judge, it wouldn’t be unusual to see a decent size city disappear .
There were only seven cult judges from Mulalan .
Those seven easily had the power of a huge group .
“Should I go out in disguise? What if you get hunted by the witches…?!”
Oscar’s eyes headed towards Muyoung’s back .
Black wings .
It was obvious what the cult judge would think after she sees this .
However, Muyoung shook his head .
‘If she came knowing, I can’t avoid her . ’
He still needed to do things within the Great City .
Finding solid information and selecting talents .
He needed to take them to the Demon God’s Territory .
He made it possible for it to be possible periodically .
On top, he needed to read about the information that only Alexandro knew about the ‘Forest of Death’ .
Since there weren’t many people who had contact with the Forest of Death as much as Alexandro .
It was possible that he knew of things that even Muyoung didn’t know .
After organizing his thoughts, Muyoung asked .
“What is the name of the cult judge?”
“She said it was Seraphina . ”
Seraphina!
Muyoung nodded his head .
If it was Seraphina, she wasn’t as stuffy compared to most of the cult judges .
Of course, a battle might be unavoidable if contingencies occurred but it would be troublesome if he was to become enemies with Mulalan right now .
So, unless the opponent acts too rashly, he was willing to welcome her appropriately as his guest .
