Chapter 265
265. Simua Rise 1
“Welcome.”
“I will take you safely to Bismar Island.”
Upon boarding the boat, the guides greeted the passengers with a smile.
They were checking the number of passengers, writing down the names of the passengers on the list.
“Can you tell me your name?”
Of course, I asked Kang Seung-hyeon’s name, but
he said, “It’s Kang Seung-hyeon.”
“ah.”
“Yes…. Kang Seung-hyun.”
The moment I heard the name, I checked the list with an awkward smile on my face.
That would also be the case because all the sailors on the ship were members of the church, and the achievements made by Kang Seung-hyun over the past week had spread widely among the members of the Simua Rize.
‘This guy is Kang Seung-hyun!’
‘An extraordinary idiot who watered the brothers and sisters dispatched to Charon…!’
‘I can’t believe I have to put a guy like this on a boat.’
They gnashed their teeth, of course, but Kang Seung-hyun was ostensibly a VVIP invited by the religious leader, so they couldn’t treat him carelessly.
They smiled and held out their name tags.
“Please wear your name tag when walking around the ship.”
“nameplate?”
“It’s to identify stowaways in case you don’t know.”
“is it so? It would have been quite annoying if the headmaster hadn’t invited me.”
Kang Seung-hyeon did not hide his intention to smuggle, and boldly responded and wore a name tag.
‘Let’s wait.’
‘If I get angry here, I will lose.’
The guides gritted their teeth and let Kang Seung-hyeon pass.
-The structure of the Simua Rize was ordinary, not much different from other ships.
“The bottom is the cargo compartment, and the top is the living space, such as the crew room, room, dining room, toilet, and so on.”
“Hmm, is there such a thing as a casino?”
“Would you like to go out to play?”
Kang Seung-hyun and the others glanced around.
There were more passengers than expected, so it was crowded with people inside the boat.
“{There are more idiots than I thought.}”
“{We couldn’t get a single one out of Charon.}”
“{It’s rather uneasy because there are so many people.}”
The three of them naturally turned off [Communication with God].
“{First of all, most of the passengers are commoners.}”
Nobles have no problems making a living even if they don’t believe in the cult, so most of the passengers were poor commoners who dreamed of reversing their lives by gaining strength.
“{Oh, there are kids too…}”
“{Well, the parents sold it.}” “{This is a
common occurrence in Azul Continent.}”
Since the number of followers represents the power of the church, poor families There were often times when children were sent in exchange for money.
Otherwise, if you go to the church, you will be able to eat every meal.
“{They look like rich bourgeois.}” “
{Sometimes. Those who step into the church purely for the sake of money.}” “
{Because if the small church you invested in grows into a medium-large church, you can benefit by tens or hundreds of times the investment.}”
Very few of the passengers were nobles.
He is probably a supporter of the Simua Rize Church.
“{Those guys won’t be touched by the church, so they’ll be safe.}” “
{In the end, it’s obvious that only commoners die!}”
In reality, the families of the missing people who came to Kang Seung-hyeon were all commoners.
“{Ugh…}”
While the two of them chatted happily, Kim Ho-jung’s complexion began to noticeably deteriorate.
I felt like I was going to vomit on the floor if I continued to stand.
“{Now… I feel like my lifespan is being cut in real time.}” “
{I need to go to my room and rest.}” “
{Yes, that’s right. Since we have to rot here for 8 hours, let’s replenish our stamina.}”
-Kung! cooong!
“huh?”
“What does this mean?”
It must have been about an hour since I came home.
People screamed along with the sound of something hitting the ship.
“oh! Did you see what happened outside?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… I hoped it would be okay!”
“Let’s go out first.”
Wow!
“Haaaaaaagh!”
“It’s a certain monster!”
“It’s a monster attack!”
“Run away!”
When I went out to the deck, sure enough, a large monster had attacked the ship.
“What is that…? snake?”
“It’s Nequila, the double-headed one.”
[Two-headed snake monster.]
[A variant of the sea snake monster, Nequila.]
[Its main habitat is the southern sea of Azul Continent]
[It has deadly poison and, as the name suggests, it has two heads, so it’s hard to deal with.]
Quaaaaa!
The two-headed man Nequila corroded the railings with miasma from his mouth and coiled around the deck with his tail.
If we go on like this, the ship will sink in a few minutes.
“Tummy hungry!”
“How nice!”
“There is nowhere to run on the sea…”
“God!”
The moment the passengers sat down helplessly with despairing faces.
“Back off!”
“We will take care of that monster.”
As if they had been waiting for that, the Church of Simua Rize reassured the passengers and walked out confidently.
“Live! Priests!”
“Yes, this ship was a ship that received the protection of Simua Rize-sama!”
“Thank you! thank you!”
Passengers withdrew in tears as if they had met a savior.
“{Ah, this is made up and played.}”
“{100%.}”
Of course, Kang Seung-hyun and his party did not go over.
“{…Are you playing salty?}”
“{Those bastards are deliberately solving monsters and playing around. That way, the passengers will believe in Seymua Rise fervently.}”
A pattern that buys hearts by deliberately attracting monsters, endangering prospective followers, and saving them.
This is a practice often used in small churches.
“{Isn’t that a scam then?}”
“{There is something that relic appraisers often say. ‘If you don’t get caught, it’s not a scam’!}”
“{It’s a scam! It’s a scam!}”
“{Anyway, that’s a pattern that works well.}”
In fact, some of the passengers on the deck were already screaming the name of Seymua Rise.
“{If we leave it alone, the passengers will become ardent followers of Simua Rize.}” “{
Of course we can’t do that.}”
Kang Seung-hyun and Alec smiled and said, “
Tadat!”
“Wow!”
“what? Those!”
“sorry!”
“excuse!”
She pushed the members of the Simua Rize Church in front of her and knocked them down, then rushed towards Nekila, the Two-Headed Warrior.
“Shaaaaaagh!!!”
The twin-headed warrior Nekila spewed miasma, but Kang Seung-hyeon used [Observation Eye] to lightly avoid it, and Alec blocked the miasma by using the scattered blood as a shield.
“Look at those people!”
“I’m fighting a monster!”
“You don’t look like a religious person…”
“Hey, do your best!”
Passengers looked bewildered, but soon began cheering for the two.
“Where can I just smash this guy’s head?”
“It has two heads, so you’ll have to smash them both.”
“I am second. It looks more polished that way.”
“Then the first is mine.”
Tadadat!
The two climbed onto the top of each other’s heads.
“Shhh!”
The two-headed warrior, Nequila, shook her head as if trying to separate the two of them and tried to exhale poisonous breath.
“Uegye!”
grasp!
At that moment, Kim Ho-jung, who remained on the deck, slapped the tail of the two-headed warrior, Nekila, enduring motion sickness.
[Collective aggro]
[Look this way!]
The moment Nekila’s eyes were focused on Kim Ho-jung,
“Nice aggro!”
Chew!
hooked!
Alec created a red thorn and pierced Nekila’s head,
[Summons Pria’s crossbow.]
[Harpoon arrows ★]
Pagagak!!
Kang Seung-hyeon pulled the trigger of his crossbow and put a pitch-black arrow into the guy’s forehead.
grasp!!
The first head of the two-headed warrior Nekila couldn’t even scream and was crushed like a porridge
.
with a plop!
The second head collapsed into the sea with a sharp scream and blood gushing out like thorns from all the holes.
“Have done it!”
“They defeated the monster!”
“But I’ll drown in the sea!”
“Quickly throw a rope!”
Of course, the two people on top of them were also on the verge of falling into the sea, but
[Hook shot – Rush]
Churrrrrrr!!
Kang Seung-hyun shot an arrow with a hook toward the deck of the ship and returned at high speed
[Blood Link]
Ugh!
After Alec used teleportation to close the distance, he
changed the red blood from his
[blood relation] arm into a thread and clung to the broken railing.
“Oh hyung, did you have a comeback skill? Well, this is the basics for dimension movers.”
“I don’t have Kim Ho-jung.”
So, the two made a clean comeback.
“Oohhh!”
“It’s awesome!”
“What are those people?”
A great finish to the end.
Passengers cheered and ran toward Kang Seung-hyun and his party.
“I’m alive thanks to you!”
“thank you! thank you!”
“Catching that monster in an instant!”
“It was nothing.”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled as always and said,
“Praise me more. Praise makes me dance.”
Alec enjoyed the situation with a very satisfied face.
“…”
By the way, Kim Ho-jeong didn’t have the energy to answer, so she just lay down.
“What is this?”
“Originally we were supposed to be there?”
“What are these guys? Why the hell are these guys coming to our church?”
“Wait, that’s Kang Seung-hyun!”
Meanwhile, the church priests were dumbfounded.
The purpose was to defeat the monsters and gain the favor of the passengers, but it was all taken away by the three intruders.
“Again, he’s in the way!”
“Can’t we just throw it into the sea?”
“That’s the one who will swim and come after me!”
At this point, the priests wanted to cry.
I thought I wouldn’t meet her once she left Karon, but who would have known that she would follow me to the ship to her home base and do the same thing.
“hey! Why are you doing this to us?”
“You were even invited by the headmaster! Didn’t you come to reconcile?”
“Aren’t you tired of harassing me all week?”
“Even though, because of you, I couldn’t gather even a single follower in Charon, so I ate too many insults!”
They booed Kang Seung-hyeon and his party, but
“You should have caught it sooner if you twisted it.”
“You can’t even say thank you. We have to help each other.”
The two smiled and returned to the cabin with the passengers.
“…”
“Tsk.”
The church priests glared at Kang Seung-hyeon and his party.
“As expected, those children are stronger than I thought. Maybe the plan will fail.”
“Then it would be difficult…”
The two-headed warrior Nekila, who appeared this time, is a monster prepared by the church for a play.
Although it was wounded and weakened with medicine, it was not a monster that could be dealt with so quickly no matter how weak it was.
“don’t worry. No matter how good you are, there’s no way anyone can beat Simua Rize’s power.”
One of the priests snorted.
“And since that man with glasses looks weak, he should be able to handle it easily without powers.”
“Well, a guy like that is nothing special.”
“If anything, let’s use that man as a hostage. Since he cares so much about his friends, he must surrender with both hands and feet?”
The gathered priests giggled and left.
