How a Former Pastor Lives in Another World

43

Pastor Kim’s identity

The period of time that Ophelia Violet was consumed by the fallen morning star Capricorn was by no means small.

half a year.

It had withstood the encroachment of the Great Devil for half a year.

This was completely incomprehensible to Ray’s common sense.

‘Did you somehow survive because you’re a sword expert? ‘Your basic physical strength cannot be compared to that of ordinary people.’

That’s how I roughly understood it to be fantasy power.

And the moment he first met Ofelia, Ray immediately saw the change in Ofelia.

“ray! Ray Anderson!”

The black aura in one of Ophelia’s eyes, which was covered with an eyepatch. That it is of the devil.

‘Why? Capricorn must have disappeared?’

It is too simple to be a soul, and there is a black precedent to ignore it.

It’s difficult to make judgments.

This is because Ray’s previous life, Pastor Kim, has never experienced anything like this.

First, those possessed by the devil could not hold out for long.

This is because it is not easy for humans to resist the devil with their weak bodies and souls.

Therefore, exorcism was carried out quickly or led to expulsion only after the devil had descended.

It was difficult for Ray to judge this unprecedented situation because he had no record of holding on to a demon for a long time like Ophelia.

I watch.

That was Ray’s conclusion, and to this day he has not mentioned Ofelia’s one eye.

“You knew, right?”

Pastor Kim is smiling brightly.

“What are you?”

“······.”

Pastor Kim just smiled without saying a word.

weird.

Isn’t the doppelganger a dungeon defense system?

However, Pastor Kim, who is in front of me right now, appears to be acting with both reason and emotion.

I heard that the saint and the sword master were cloned, but I didn’t hear any information that they had any differences in trying to communicate or exclude enemies.

A doppelganger simply captures the intruder’s memories and duplicates their powers and abilities.

Nowhere was there any mention of ‘treating’ the other person appropriately or trying to have a conversation.

“What are you saying?”

Pastor Kim did not answer Ray’s question. He just approaches slowly, holding the deadly sword.

“Ray! Get back!”

Ophelia made Ray back off, but there was no need to.

Because Pastor Kim’s target was Ophelia from the beginning.

Kaang!

Ophelia, who blocked Pastor Kim’s sword, faced the energy of the sword aimed at her.

“W-what is this?”

Originally, I sensed an evil energy, but after taking off the eye patch, I could see that energy clearly.

That thing is a natural enemy.

The moment it touches you, something terrible will happen. Ophelia’s instincts were screaming.

If you get cut by that sword, you die.

No, something more terrible awaits before physical death.

“Ugh…!”

Ophelia was honestly afraid.

It’s almost an instinctive reaction.

The demon within her is afraid of that sword.

‘knife? no. ‘That’s not it.’

After the blindfold comes off, my eyes become clearer and I see something.

Because the spirit of the Great Devil dwells within him, he reacts more sensitively to ‘that’ than anyone else.

Pastor Kim. No, what lies beyond that human-shaped doppelganger is…

“Miss Ophelia!”

“Hot! Yes? Yes, yes! Ray!”

“Don’t be scared. If you look at the specs, Ophelia is much stronger.”

“Is that so?”

Ofelia seemed to be reassured by the certainty in Ray’s voice.

It’s a maturity that strangely doesn’t match one’s age.

Ray said.

“Miss Ophelia is responsible for the attack. I am responsible for the defense.”

Pull yourself together and respond calmly. Ray stood in front of Ophelia, holding a hatchet. It claimed to be the leader.

“going!”

Ray ran.

A charge that makes full use of the physical abilities under the sun’s protection.

“Benefit rate ordinance.”

The evil spirit rushes in. Perhaps because of his soul status as a wizard, he is a very knowledgeable person.

but.

“You devil! Get back!”

Ray threw something in his arms. It was a beaker of sacred blood.

Wow!

A demon in pain when covered in holy blood.

Ray didn’t miss that moment.

Wow?

Ray catches a demon.

Ray twisted the corner of his mouth evilly.

“You can’t use your soul against me.”

Squeak!

The monstrous power unleashed by the sun’s protection tore the soul of the evil spirit.

“Tch…!”

Pastor Kim realizes the meaning and rushes in. Ray shouted.

“Just hold on for a few seconds!”

Ophelia responds. Although it is dangerous to even touch the Sacred Sword, Ophelia is a sword expert knight.

Among knights’ swordsmanship, there are many techniques that involve delaying combat without allowing the enemy to attack.

Meanwhile, Ray absorbed the souls of the demons he tore apart and killed.

It is a dark red soul. For Ray, it was a high-quality experience with the best nutritional value.

Woe!

Memories of evil spirits that pass by in an instant.

The memories of a witch named Marian who made a contract with a powerful demon conveyed a lot of information.

The relationship with Luca, the wizard hidden here.

Who ordered him to be rescued?

Who is behind it?

“Now is not the time. Oh pass! Pass!”

Ray, who digested the witch’s soul in one go, was not satisfied with his increased s*xual power.

‘I did it just in case, but isn’t such an expedient development still possible?’

I thought that by tearing apart a wizard’s soul, new powers would arise, but that did not happen. Are there any special conditions required to acquire power?

Kaang!

On the other hand, Ophelia was fighting desperately with Pastor Kim to withstand the feedback from Ray absorbing her soul.

“Huh!”

Ray swung his hatchet with all his might towards Pastor Kim, who was engaged in a sword fighting match.

Kwasik!

I instinctively blocked it, but since I was in a confrontation with Ophelia, it was impossible to do a trick to let go of the trail.

In the end, when the sword was blocked from the front, the limitations of the Exorcist Sword were revealed.

“A ceremonial sword that cuts through four limbs! Its durability is much lower than that of a steel sword!”

It was just a matter of covering it up with technology and holding on. When the hatchet wielded by Ray hit the Sacred Sword, Ophelia also helped.

Quaaa!

The concentration of the Auror with all his might. Her sword, which has increased the cutting power of the sword to the maximum, cuts off the scratched part of the Sainchassa Sword.

Cough!

It was the moment when a national treasure weapon that had been handed down from generation to generation since the Joseon Dynasty was destroyed.

“It’s just a fake that was implemented anyway!”

Pastor Kim, who lost his weapon, steps back and takes out an incense burner from his chest.

The censer of Saint Francis, a national treasure of the Vatican. The smoke that comes out of this place chases away demons and makes people dream.

This is the identity of the holy relic that subdued many of the imperial troops non-lethal, but falling asleep in actual combat is a fatal problem.

“Cover your mouth! Full speed ahead!”

“Sigh!”

Following Ray’s instructions, Ophelia, who had stopped breathing, charged at Pastor Kim.

The sharp sword she swung dug in, but the dagger she pulled out from her waist strongly blocked it.

It is a sword breaker with saw-like grooves carved into the blade.

But in the end, it’s just an ordinary sword. It was only for one moment that Ophelia’s Auror Blade was able to be stopped.

This is enough time for Pastor Kim to bring out a new tool.

“Three points of fortune. Jade Qing Sutra, Shang Qing Sutra, Tai Qing Sutra.”

Three amulets decorate the air.

Kyoto’s Onmyoji Tsuchimikado.

If you go up the line, there is Japan’s Great Onmyoji Abeno Seimei.

This is the Samcheong amulet given to Pastor Kim by Mr. Tsuchimikado, a descendant of Seimei Abeno, as a reward for his assistance in Kyoto’s Hundred Ghost Nights.

Because it is an object already endowed with magical power, it is a magical device that can cause five thunderbolts just by reciting a mantra.

“Can I use it on someone I know!”

Ray threw the hatchet and hit the amulet that was unfolding in the air.

Since it is the talisman of the three quarters, the spell is not effective if even one is missing.

In the end, Pastor Kim, whose secret spell was broken, allowed himself to be struck by the sword swung by Ophelia.

Sigh!

Pastor Kim, blood rushing from his chest.

It would have been a fatal attack if it had not been for the robes that had been blessed.

“······.”

Pastor Kim frowns as if feeling frustrated for the first time.

But Ray took this for granted.

‘In the end, I made up for my low specs with skills and sense. ‘It may not be true when dealing with monsters, but it has limitations against people who know all the strategies.’

What’s left?

Frankenstein’s headnail?

Psychic serum made from the count’s blood?

Or the sword of Fairy Incense or the iron crown of Lombardy… maybe the spear that pierced him could come out.

But you can respond.

These are objects that we have held and held several times throughout our lives.

I knew all of those abilities, used them once, and even knew how to destroy them.

Even though it is a relic and a national treasure, it is nothing more than a tool made by human hands with clear limits to its function.

In the end, it is the power of people, not tools, that creates miracles.

However, Pastor Kim, who was in a pinch, chose not the military officers that Ray knew.

What Pastor Kim took out was an old, short sword.

A sword that looks similar to a Roman legionnaire’s gladius, but seems to have its own regional characteristics.

Even Ray didn’t know this much.

Because it’s something I’ve never seen before.

“I don’t even hide it anymore.”

You’re not my doppelgänger, are you?

Ray and Ophelia rushed towards the impersonator Pastor Kim.

***

“Gagging!”

Ray rolled on the dirt floor and exhaled.

‘It’s so strong!’

Full-time Pastor Kim was also fearsome, but Pastor Kim, who fought with only a heavy sword, was something untouchable.

‘The specs and fighting style are the same as me in my past life. but······.’

Something changed right after I picked up that sword.

What on earth? Does that sword have some special power?

no. That’s just an ordinary sword.

Ray’s spiritual eyes could not sense any special power from that sword.

“Give up. You’re not ready yet.”

Pastor Kim steps on his chest and points his sword at him. His eyes were focused on Ophelia.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

Ofelia, like Ray, was crawling on the floor and out of breath.

Although there was no risk of death just by touching it like the Sainhasa Sword, he was defeated purely through ‘swordsmanship’.

I can’t believe it.

Even though he was strong just a moment ago, it was as if the person who was only human had become something else…

“I just have to kill that devil b*tch. You know that. Why should I do that?”

“Ugh…”

“That is a disservice to you. There is no benefit in being near it.”

Ray stared at Pastor Kim… no, the being speaking using Pastor Kim’s face.

It is a pure white soul.

He only suppressed Ray out of necessity, and he had no ill will towards Ray.

That is what a pure white soul is.

A being who lives righteously and gives infinite kindness to good people.

Just as the devil’s black color is an evil that cannot be saved.

The blackness in Ophelia’s eyes may be like that evil thing.

As the person with Pastor Kim’s face says, you can close your eyes.

but.

“That’s not what he taught me.”

Ray held something. Pastor Kim’s eyes opened wide when he saw this.

“Grenade of Antioch!”

“I once killed someone! I was such a b*stard that I deserved to die! Jesus told us to love even our enemies!”

Ray couldn’t do that and killed someone.

In return, Ray lost his gift.

“I think I’m starting to find out who you are, but will he ever forgive you!?”

Self-destruction. In other words, although it was not his intention, he ended up killing Ray along with Ofelia.

Pastor Kim growled and kicked Ray’s thigh bone.

“Tsk…!”

“Give it to me!”

“Knock it!”

It was a bone-crushing pain, but Ray gritted his teeth and grabbed the grenade.

What will happen if it explodes like this? Instant death? It’s obvious.

There is insurance. However, whether it will be activated in a timely manner is another question.

Still, at this moment, seeing the guy’s always relaxed face distort, it was a gamble worth taking.

“After the Solara, it’s Arc Barda!”

Ray flashes his middle finger and smiles in victory.

Soon, Antioch’s grenade exploded in Ray’s arms.

Kwaaa!

Just before the fire engulfed Ray and Pastor Kim as the explosion of alcohol poured down.

Ray shouted, covering his heated face.

“Wand! Recover the wand! Quickly! I’m going to die… Huh?”

Amelia’s staff was about to be activated simultaneously with pain.

I thought that if it was a holy relic that could heal hundreds of people at once, I could survive as long as I avoided instant death.

but.

Something is strange.

My whole body is hot and the heat is close, but the flames of the explosion are not reaching me.

As if it had stopped in space.

“What is this?”

Ray stood up with a puzzled expression and looked at Pastor Kim.

He is not looking at himself in front of him, but somewhere beyond.

“Is this really your will?”

【Peniel.】

Countless gazes and warm voices surrounded Ray.
