2nd Rank Has Returned

220 – Immortality Trial-3

Forbidden

The ability to obtain divinity by forbidding one of the desired desires in the name of a god.

As can be seen from the power of divinity, the desire to give up should not end at the level of a symbol.

The desire that forms the basis of that human being.

You have to cut off your desires so that the size of your divinity is usable.

So the only believers who used the taboo were those who committed suicide.

Even getting rid of lingering attachments to desire was not a solution.

If the desire weakens, the prohibition also weakens.

Because that’s how divinity disappears.

“…God…”

At the ridiculous sight, the priests spoke of God.

Before Shintoism, the fundamental desire as a human being is survival.

For that reason, prohibiting suicide would not be convincing from a humanistic point of view.

“Nonsense! In the first place, why would such a person…!”

Leonardo glared at the priest before he could say anything else.

The hatred and murder that was felt even when the body was bound was enough to instill fear in the priest.

“Why is such a suicide maniac fighting the demons directly? Are you curious about that?”

It was silent, but everyone didn’t deny it.

Seriously, I couldn’t understand them.

The reason why a writer who wanted death enough to be banned was scrambled to slaughter the enemies of demons.

“Because I have a stronger desire to kill those demonic bastards than my desire to commit suicide.”

It was a reason that even the opponents of Leo could not help but understand.

Leonardo’s merciless attitude towards demons, the corpses of demons he piled up,

It was thanks to Leonardo’s existence that he even defeated the berserker.

“But now I’m tired of even that. It’s all thanks to you guys. Thank you very much for making the anger and hatred in my heart meaningless.”

At those words, everyone looked at the Heretic Questioners in unison.

They probably think that Leonardo became that way because of them.

But even that transfer of responsibility is not the same for Leonardo.

Leo is fed up with humans, not believers.

“…That sounds like it! Where is the proof that your prohibition is true?!”

Anxiety that the atmosphere might turn upside down, the cardinal who opposed Leonardo hurriedly raised his voice.

“On my back.”

Of course, even that was one of the patterns that Leonardo experienced in countless trials.

“Even that is unreliable!! I want to use mental induction!! Holy Emperor!”

Everyone is buzzing at the word “Mental response”.

Especially even other opponents who know the story get mixed up in the confusion. No matter how you think about it, it seemed like an overkill.

“Holy Emperor! It’s not possible!! Leonardo-sama may have used black magic, but he is neither a sinner nor a demon!! Not to mention, he didn’t go crazy, and he didn’t even communicate!!”

From noble mtl dot com.

Unlike other times, Lumine raised her voice to the cardinal with an urgent voice. In other circumstances, it was reasonable not to use telepathy for interrogation on normal people.

“It is as the adult Lumine said. Cardinal, keep your temper…”

“Fun. Try.”

When Seonghwang tried to stop the Cardinal’s excitement and ugliness, Leonardo rather instigated the action.

Isn’t the show too bland after it ends like this?

And just in case.

If there is a human capable of this…

“Leonardo!! Can’t you…!”

“If the parties agree, the telepath can be used. Even if it’s for interrogation. And there is a misunderstanding.”

Leonardo smiled, raising the corners of his mouth to his cheekbones.

“I am crazy. It’s crazy.”

It was like a madman like a clown, but no one responded to that smile.

“Ah, I’m glad you know…”

The cardinal looked at Leonardo with a trembling expression. In my 10 years of life as a cardinal, I have never seen a criminal respond to the Divine Trial with such an attitude.

“However, I will recommend not doing it.”

“…What?”

“I am warning you. Little boy Trauma lasts a long time when you’re young.”

“…Kid…”

The cardinal’s voice lowered, but his face contorted.

I was sure. That guy was nothing more than a newbie who was tainted with black magic and went insane.

“Let’s see who the kid is.”

Intelligence.

It was a sacred technique that reduced the mental burden and pain of the target by connecting with the other person’s mind.

If you use it for interrogation, it is possible to show extreme fear. It was a last resort for demons with important information or madmen with nothing to see.

That cardinal intends to use the final and worst interrogation method on the benefactor who has saved many lives.

“…Uhhhhh!!!”

A scream sounds when you use Interrogation.

It is a natural procedure. I stimulated the source of fear, but there is no human being who can be fine.

Just.

“My body…! My body is on fire!!! Help me!! Because anyone is good!! Please!!! Aww!!”

“Oops, you picked the top 10 list. No luck.”

It wasn’t Leonardo, but the cardinal who used the telepathic effect on Leo and screamed while lying on his face.

Though there was nothing wrong with his body, he struggled on the floor as if his whole body was burning alive.

There was no such thing as ugliness.

“You guys!! Another black magic…!”

“What do people who live by faith have so many useless doubts about? The chain that binds me in the first place is the material that blocks mana from Magi.”

As Leonardo said, the chain that bound him was a material that blocked Magi and Aura, and the same technique was applied to the inside of the temple, so Magi could never be used.

“Study some history. You don’t even know emotional resonance?”

Everybody is buzzing again at the word emotional resonance.

Others may be trembling without knowing the meaning, but at least the followers will know the weight of the word.

In other words, it means that their faith is worse than Leo’s pain.

Then, Sharlian, who was worse at being rude, shouted.

“Nonsense! That’s only what happens when someone who has just become a cardinal uses telepathy on an extreme fanatic! The venerable Cardinal Carian…!”

“That’s what I mean.”

Looking at the cardinal, who may be a crazed Carian, Leonardo clicked his tongue.

“What do you do if your virtue is high by your standards? After all, it must be faith in the easy goodwill you gained from living a good life in a comfortable place.”

“What nonsense is that?! Are you saying we were extravagant!?”

Luxury items are strictly forbidden in the temple.

As for alcohol, only ceremonial wine is permitted.

Clothing should not be soft and flashy.

Meals were to be eaten minimally without stimulation, and there were no snacks.

You must also not wear jewelry.

But

“It’s a luxury on the battlefield. You train really comfortably.”

In Leonardo’s standards, it was not even included in the axis of suffering.

After all, it was one thing to create an environment in which people could live. Rather, it didn’t matter how much extravagance there was, as long as I got realization properly.

“I doubt that.”

“…You bastard! Are you asking me to doubt the Lord!? This new…!”

“Not God, stupid. I mean you guys.”

Leonardo let out a sigh as if it was bothersome to have an argument.

Perhaps if there were many followers who became demons, they would have beaten them without hesitation, but in the end, most of them committed suicide, which caused fatigue and irritation in this way.

“You should have doubted yourselves who claim to believe in God many times over.”

At those words, Seonghwang’s expression changed.

I can now clearly see the progress that I had been observing without being too sure.

“Divinity is completely different from magic or aura.”

I came to know what kind of person Leonardo was and what condition he was in as a successful person and as a human being.

“You should have known how light enlightenment without pain is, and how light faith without philosophy is no different from ignorance. Fools.”

Leonardo wasn’t mad at all.

“Yes, you bastard…!!”

The guard of blind faith, barely holding back his rudeness, threw a spear at Leonardo. He couldn’t tolerate his faith because he treated the temple and Shinto as fools.

Kaaang!!

“Hero…!”

“What is this!!”

Ariasviel blocked the ostentatious spear with the holy sword. It was a restrained movement, an appropriate defense that was not excited even if it was angry.

“Guards! Judgment is not over yet! Don’t judge yourself!”

“But, hero!! He’s…!”

“Leonardo came to see the darkness I did not see!! When I’m comfortably smiling in the world of light!! My revelation is to meet the darkness and defeat the evil!”

Ariaspil’s speech had more weight than other times.

When he went on a subjugation as a hero, his sincerity was different from the clumsy, high morale words.

The moment Arya Spiel is about to finish his words.

“I’m not going to help you.”

Leonardo deliberately poured cold water on him. Because it ended with a heroic story like this, the second person’s face is not worth it.

“Leo…! Please…! We were wrong…!”

“Go if you know. What’s the matter. Messy.”

“Please…! My aunt hasn’t finished her treatment yet, but she’s here…! It doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive me…”

“…Wait…”

Leonardo’s gaze turned to Chris. Despite Lumine’s treatment, her right arm was covered with a bandage.

That part was definitely the part that had been hit by the berserker.

“…Leonardo…! Really sorry…!”

While Leo looked away, Ariasviel gently touched his shoulder. Normally, he would have avoided it somehow, but now Leonardo was distracted by Chris’ arm.

“Get your hands off me!! Aria…!!”

Ariaspil has already touched Leo’s body.

I still have the technique of emotional response in my body.

My whole body is torn/ Not in a metaphorical sense/ Head, eyes, philtrum, stomach, mouth, stomach, stomach, large intestine, genitals, legs, even ankles are sliced/I want to die, but there is no meaning even if I scream None / My body is healed again / The more I want to die, the more I scream.”

“…Heh heh heh heh…”

Leonardo hastily kicked Ariaspil. He has already touched himself more than the cardinals.

The psychological trauma must be significant as the strong arias feel with divinity resonated.

Ariaspil is breathing in and out with difficulty. His mental strength had long since surpassed that of a cardinal.

“…Leonardo…!”

“…Sorry, I know you’re having a hard time right now, but I need to ask you something.”

“.., Ask… Look…”

After catching his breath, Aria Spiel focused on Leonardo’s question. In this situation, there was no way that the question with that expression was not important.

“…Chris’s right arm, didn’t the whole skin turn blue like it was bruised and overall rough?”

“…Yes, that’s right…! But at least you said the pain had lessened…”

The pain is the worst at the point of giving. He overlooked that the berserker had dragon scales.

He was complacent himself. It wasn’t like joking around.

“Damn it!! Release this!!”

Leonardo exclaimed urgently.

Leonardo, who showed ridicule and ridicule at any torture, let alone the death penalty, was in a state of panic.

“Wait a minute…! Now…!”

“No.”

It was neither a paladin nor a priest who stepped out.

“Sir, the trial is still in progress. It is dangerous for both discipline and safety to release Leonardo now.”

The leader of the Blue Dragon Knights of the Empire stopped Ariasviel. Not only that, but even the other knight commanders tried to stop the actions of the brave Ariaspil.

Because they are neutral, what they value is the rules themselves.

“…Unpack this!!! Every second is urgent!!”

“If the trial is over and you are found not guilty, I will send it to you.”

“Do you want to wait until that human lifespan is cut in half?!”

Quaang!! Wooddeuk…!!

Leonardo struck his hand and crushed it. When his hand was fractured enough for his handcuffs to come off, Leonardo withdrew his hand and put it in.

The freer arm cuts off even the chains and allows Leonardo to move.

A small amount of chains could be broken with only physical strength and skill.

“Escape!! Catch it!!”

Even though they didn’t run away, the opposition shouted that. Leonardo pounces on Chris with his broken hand tinkering with feeble divinity.

“…Le…Leonardo…! Why…!”

“Roll up your arms. Take off the bandage!”

“…Suddenly why…!”

“Shut up and show me your arms!!”

Instead of answering with a serious expression, Chris released his arm to show the wound.

The wound was covered up after being treated by Lumine for fear of causing concern to Leo and the soldiers.

I recognized that what I’m showing now is the right decision.

“…The pain is not very severe. Maybe there’s a problem with the skin…”

“No, serious enough.”

Leonardo looked at Chris’s arm, not paying attention to his less healed hand.

Wrong. While he is fooling around in prison, Chris’s body and the dragon’s factor are in the process of merging.

He would have ended up amputating had he noticed sooner, but he made another arrogant and foolish mistake.

“I have to operate right away!! The condition is serious!”

“What is this?! Bloody Leonardo!!”

The paladins aimed their blades at Leo with their eyes focused more on the sinner Leonardo than on Chris’ arm.

“Go back to your seat. If I go back now, the sin will be…!”

“Be quiet.”

The thing that stopped me from walking between the blades and heading towards Leonardo.

“…Saint Hwang…”

It was the prosperity of the present era. He was a man who sincerely believed in God but still doubted himself.

“…Sorry, Knight Leonardo.”

Saying that, Seonghwang grabbed Leonardo’s hand. For those who have divinity, it will definitely be a mental response.

“…Hey! Hands off!! You really…!”

“…I see.”

Water collects in Seonghwang’s wrinkled eyes.

Even though I still have his hands on him, he doesn’t scream once.

He only wept silently.

Why didn’t I immediately recognize it when I first saw it?

I am carrying so many scars alone.

“…You have carried the heaviest burden in the darkest place. Aren’t we… resentful…?”

Leonardo’s hand has already been healed.

“It’s no big deal! I need surgery right away! Move!!”

Leonardo hurriedly shook Seonghwang’s hand and was in a hurry to check the condition of Chris’ arm.

It was impatience caused by the limitations of the equipment of this era.

“This guy is really!!”

Charlian throws a spear at Leonardo just because Seonghwang’s arm broke off.

The spear flies at Leo in a straight line.

{Stop it. What is the meaning of right and wrong in treating the sick?}

At that moment, an angel descended.

Angel’s wings have already become a shield that can block spears.

“…Ah…Miss Angela…!”

“…An angel…”

All believers are putting their palms together.

The weight of each belief was different, but at least that belief was not false.

I was not ignorant enough to defy the Apostle of God.

{Sorry. My tolerance has eventually become neglect.}

“…Ah, no…! It’s all our fault…! I will repent…!”

Angela looked at Leonardo. It wasn’t something I said to them in the first place.

“Okay, let’s do some surgery! Help Lumine!! There is no divinity right now!!”

“Ah, I see!!”

Lumine hurriedly caught up with Chris with Leonardo.

{Wait a minute. Lumine investigation.}

“…Miss Angela…?”

Angela realized that one o’clock is urgent.

But it was a meaningless act if she didn’t do it now.

{Galawid Inquisitor, Charlian Heretic Inquisitor. Would you like to come forward for a moment?}

“…Hey, is there a problem!”

“…It’s an honor to get to know Angela…!”

Two women came forward. Some people thought they were envious of the two to the bottom of their hearts.

Because seeing an angel up close was a rare blessing in life.

{I think they know the most about their sins.}

“…Yeah yeah…! Sorry…! I will repent of my self-indulgence…!”

“…I apologize…! I should have managed my emotions better…!”

Angela patted the heads of the two patients with a benevolent expression. Because the mercy of the Virgin is drawn on her face like a painting in mythology.

{It’s okay. Sins can be washed away by not forgetting and repenting.}

f*ck!! Poop!! Poop!! Poop!!

Then he pulls the hair of the two and kicks them in succession. All kinds of screams come out of their mouths, but Angela doesn’t care and continues to hit.

It was already possible to reveal the spiritual body with divinity and shock the outside by referring to the sage.

{Historically, the hawk was the medicine for repentance. Do the rest.}

Soon after, Angela leaves to help Chris heal.

[He hasn’t lost his temper yet.]

The sage who appeared before he knew it was so impressed.
