Novel Bin Chapter 15
Chapter 15
There was a similar system in HSAW. It was the 'time-limited buff' that activated when a certain event was achieved.
What appeared to me right now was no different from a time-limited buff.
But, the given time was only 10 minutes.
'That should be enough!'
I lightly cleared my throat and opened my mouth with a business smile.
"That's right. The Rizes Church that had been oppressing you has disappeared from the land of Rovel today."
With the most benevolent smile, I spoke in a soft but powerful tone. Then I felt all eyes focused on me.
"It was all thanks to Lord Kyros."
Their eyes widened slightly at my words.
"The merciful Lord Kyros witnessed your pain and sent me here. He gave me strength along with a mission, thus, I accepted his will and punished the Rizes Church."
In fact, Terdius did everything, but the people here didn't know that.
Thank you, Terdius.
"From now on, this place is no longer the territory of the Rizes Church, but the temple of Kyros."
The emergence of a new cult where there once was a cult.
This could have scared them more.
So I had to quickly draw their trust.
While presenting plausible evidence.
"A little while ago, we witnessed the power of Lord Kyros. He relieved you through me for your sake."
And, Here comes the important punchline---
"But everyone, Lord Kyros does not force you. There is no oppression or control in Kyros Church."
---Along with showmanship.
I stretched out both hands to the sky and looked at the ceiling of the underground prison.
"All Lord Kyros wants is your faith!"
Please, please work!
I wished earnestly and closed my eyes tightly. And, finally.
"Woah!"
"Lord Kyros!"
[78 citizens of Rovel were moved by your words!]
[78 citizens of Rovel became believers of Kyros Faith!]
It worked!!
"Thank you, Lord Kyros!"
"You have saved us...!"
When I opened my eyes, I saw people praying in their own ways.
Some shed tears, some rejoiced, and some smiled very happily.
Oh, this is more satisfying than I thought.
-It was a very touching speech! Thanks to you, I feel energized!
Kyros was also moved by the power that came rushing in.
Apparently, the purification power was quite strong.
Once they witnessed the power of God and realized that God existed, faith naturally came.
Especially, the 'salvation' that appeared in a difficult time when they were exhausted and collapsed was hard to refuse.
I smiled lightly and reached out to the faithful who were filled with emotion.
"You have been freed from the evil Rizes Church that oppressed you. Now this place is the temple of Lord Kyros. So don't worry. The same thing will not happen again."
"Oh, Lord Kyros..."
"You have saved us!"
A strange pleasure made my heart beat faster. Even though I didn't save them myself, my chest was full.
"Everyone. The temple of Lord Kyros will open after a little maintenance."
And, I didn't forget to promote at the end.
Until a few hours ago, the chapel had been the Rizes Church branch in Rovel.
The citizens of Rovel who had been trapped in the underground prison were leaving gradually in order.
"Have a good night, believers."
"Thank you, Leader!"
Revelof waved his hand and greeted each believer who was going home.
Those who had been locked up in the underground prison and were about to become sacrifices of the Rizes Church were very cheerful.
"Thank you, Leviathan."
Revelof had to choose Leviathan as his alias because he accidentally introduced himself as 'Leviathan' to Terdius.
However, he felt okay seeing their happy faces.
"I'll see you again soon. Kyros Faith is always open to you."
Revelof didn't forget his business smile either.
As a result, some believers' cheeks turned red as they went home.
"How can he be so beautiful?"
"Right!"
Revelof's smile set fire to the hearts of many believers regardless of gender.
"I was addicted to 'Happy' and had a bleak future, but I got salvation like this."
"Yeah. I don't even think about 'Happy' anymore!"
"The warm light that wrapped me up, it was my first time feeling such power."
"Lord Kyros... Oh, Lord Kyros!"
It was a historic starting point for Kyros Faith to save the world.
Somewhere near Rovel on a hill.
Terdius was standing there. Next to him was the unconscious high priest of the Rizes Church branch in Rovel and his subordinates who were barely conscious.
Terdius' subordinates were the elites of Diego Faith, but they were not as high as Terdius.
So they didn't know.
The holy energy that spread from the Rizes Church chapel.
Terdian frowned and stared at the chapel.
'The oath of the name...'
In fact, he didn't care about the oath of the name.
He was more concerned about his mission as an apostle of Diego Faith.
He could have killed the man named Leviathan after getting his help.
And yet, he did not.Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)
No, to be precise, he couldn't.
He didn't know why either.
He felt a similar emotion as last time.
Especially when he wore the robe that Leviathan gave him and moved with Leviathan, that emotion became stronger.
Familiarity.
'Why is that?'
He wondered endlessly.
'Why do I feel familiar with him and can't kill him?''
Terdius could have cut him down in an instant if he wanted to.
But his instinct refused.
And the warm wave that came from the Rizes Church chapel.
Normally, he couldn't ignore that either.
Even if Kyros Faith was a small religion, having that much power meant it was a clear target for confrontation.
But, Terdius decided to keep it a secret.
He felt like he had to.
Terdius sighed softly and ordered his subordinates.
"Let's return."
Soon, the group on the hill disappeared in an instant.
Today, my body was unusually light. Last night, I received more power from Kyros as the number of believers in Kyros Faith increased.
'If I keep going like this, I'll not only get healthy, but also stronger.'
I smiled contentedly and opened the religious status.
[Religious Status (Kyros Faith)
Leader: 1 (Revelof Holden)
High Priest: 1 (Alphius)
Paladin: 1 (Chester)
.
.
.
Believers: 80 (Layla, Rose, ... )
Total number of believers: 83]
'Wow. Amazing.'
The number of followers increased overnight. It seemed that the believers who heard my speech also preached to others. Although it was only two people, it was something.
And as the rumors spread through their mouths, more believers would join.
-My child, meeting you was truly a fortune. The number of believers has increased so much!
'It's all thanks to me.'
-Yes, yes. Of course! Well done, my child!
I couldn't stop smiling. Of course, I wasn't completely cured of my speech disorder yet.
But I felt like I was almost normal.
So I went out of my room to have breakfast and check on the seeds I planted last night.
As expected.
As soon as I reached the first floor, I saw Holden's knights moving busily outside the mansion.
"Oh, Young Master! You're up early!"
A servant who was busy working came up to me.
"Yeah. I guess so. Everyone seems busy since morning."
"Yes! The master ordered us to get ready early!"
I knew it.
"What are you going to do, mother? About 'Kyros Faith'."
I listened to Sevenus' question. Then, mother sighed softly.
"I'm thinking about it. I was already investigating them, and it turned out that they were the ones who punished Rizes Church."
That's right, mom! I did it all!
"Yes. That's what I heard. But I didn't even know there was such a place. I'm worried they might become another Rizes Church."
You bastard, how dare you compare them!
"I was worried about that too, but it seems that they also helped the citizens who were addicted to 'Happy'. Most of the citizens of Rovel testified to that."
"...Hmm. Is that so?"
"Yes. So for now, let's accept them but keep an eye on them for a while. The citizens of Rovel want that."
Way to go, mom!
There was no way to stop the establishment of a religion under the imperial law anyway. The only thing needed was one thing: the lord's permission. And even that couldn't be refused without a special reason.
So this was the natural course of action.
But I did all this work because I wanted to convert Holden's territory into Kyros Faith.
I wanted to wink at my mother while using my Leader's robe, but I had no intention of revealing that I was the leader of Kyros Faith and even less of winking at my family.
So for now, I was satisfied with this much.
'Then there's only one thing left.'
To stop the last disaster of Holden's territory.
And today was the day when the last disaster came.
