How a Former Pastor Lives in Another World
Chapter 30

Campbell incident (2)
Summons demons from the demon world to this world.
At first glance, it seems like a great disaster, but if you think about the process, it is not an easy task.
The monsters of the demon world are called demonic.
It means a being like a devil, on the same level as a devil, but with a strong beast nature.
Not only do they not receive magic power or spells through contracts like devils, but even if summoned, they cannot work without a special spell.
Once summoned, there is no choice but to release it to destroy the city along with it like a suicide bomber.
But there is always a way to find a way.
Luke the scribe.
No, the wizard Luca looked down at the monsters born through the stomachs of the believers of the Sun Moon Church.
Kiaaa──
The monsters that were forced to grow through spells and fed on the blood and flesh of believers grew larger than adults and began to have multiple limbs.
“If only I had time, I could have picked more betas.”
Maybe even Alpha.
Even if the monster draw is a random box, if you draw about 10,000 monsters, you are bound to win.
However, due to some strange guy’s interference, they were unable to secure a sufficient population.
“Campbell’s population is 300,000. Even if we ate only half, we would have been able to secure a few alphas.”
It’s such a big undertaking. How much money and labor did it cost?
He ruined it all.
This ‘swallowing the city’ was a task that took several years to prepare.
He infiltrated the core of City Hall, tolerated the Church of Sun and Moon, and increased its power to weaken the Church of the Sun.
Significantly lowering the level of armament of each faction due to concerns about clashes between religious forces was a policy that took a long time to achieve.
But it’s only you. To be precise, I ruined the job because of a guy who had an unreasonably good sense.
That arrogant little priest. After arriving at Campbell and experiencing all kinds of adventures, didn’t he have the intuition of an adult?
Thanks to this, the delivery plan went awry, so it was no ordinary loss to Luca.
“Ah, I’m so angry, I’m so angry. I can’t even get my money’s worth. What is this?”
Still, I can’t buy it, so I’ll try to pull out as much as I can before the Holy Knights arrive.
It was at that time when Luca was about to move with the grown monsters.
Crrrrr──
Luca saw the ‘chained alpha’.
The monster bound in ‘chains’ growls.
“I guess I don’t need this anymore.”
Luca released Alpha’s restraints with a wave of his hand.
The powerful spell’s energy disappeared and the liberated Alpha looked at Luca with eyes full of hatred and anger.
Kaaagh—!
He trampled Luca with his hideous large body.

(Recommended BGM: Don’t be afraid of anything)
“Don’t be afraid of anything!”
“”Lord, my Soltera protects me.””
“Don’t be surprised, don’t be scared.”
“”Lord, protect me~””
Even though my heart is tired and tired, the Lord protects me.
Lord, protect me even when the world’s toughest storms hit.
The Lord is my fortress.
The Lord is my fortress.
The Lord is my hope.
Soltera is my strength~
Hymns echoing from the high ceiling of the cathedral.
The hymn rang out loud enough to drown out the terrible cries and screams coming from all directions, and enough to guide those who were lost and wandering.
“Hey, it’s over there! If you go over there, you can live!”
“Monsters cannot invade the cathedral!!”
People flee to a place where the sound of hymns can be heard, a place where monsters cannot invade.
That was what Ray Anderson and the clergy at Campbell Cathedral were aiming for.
“Don’t stop singing! Keep singing! That’s how the Bishop’s Wall stays!”
There were two reasons why Bishop Yuna’s <Power of Protection> affected the cathedral and the surrounding land.
First, the spiritual land called the cathedral.
The land of the clergy, where hymns and prayers are exchanged, is endowed with spiritual power, no matter how small the cathedral.
This is why holy water is produced here and why evil spirits cannot invade it.
However, with this alone, a single bishop cannot protect a huge piece of land that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The second was the power of praise.
The power of hymn exerts its true power through choir.
The sum of that power is given through the chorus of countless people centered around the one who has the power of praise.
Ray strengthened the sanctuary of the land with his power of hymn and the chorus of refugees who gathered at the cathedral.
A cathedral is a sanctuary through spiritual land, power, and choir.
Several conditions came together to create synergy.
“If you know the hymns, please take turns!”
The priests at the cathedral had the arriving citizens memorize hymns first.
This chorus functions only if the hymn continues. The moment the hymn stops, the surrounding monsters will flock to the cathedral.
“It’s Team 3’s shift! Let’s continue singing the hymns! We must continue to maintain the barrier of protection!”
Citizens gathered in droves and continued to sing hymns as instructed.
They were also desperate because if the barrier disappeared, monsters would attack the cathedral.
“Brother Ray, please replace you with Sister Idora.”
“Hehe, I can sing more.”
“It’s already been more than five hours. Make sure you have all your stamina.”
Fortunately, there were monks with the <Power of Praise> at Campbell Cathedral. If there is no such person in the cathedral choir, that is a problem.
“Whoa… I don’t know if I’ve memorized all the hymns.”
Although hymns have been spread over the past two weeks, many of the evacuees are visiting the cathedral for the first time.
Although the choir exerts a powerful force in the power of hymn and its manifestation, faith, appropriate procedures, and vocalization were also important.
For those who have just mastered the hymns or who were not members of the Church of the Sun in the first place, the effect is halved.
Ray drank the water the nun gave him, hoping to make as few mistakes as possible.
“Will we have enough food? If we go into a long war, we’ll need to maintain our stamina.”
“Didn’t you provide meals for the believers who visited recently? Thanks to that, we have surplus food that we ordered. This is all thanks to Brother Ray.”
“It is a blessing to the bishop who approved the budget.”
Ray nodded and went to the members who were working for a while.
“Build a barricade! Henry! Bring the chairs, too!”
“Yes, sister! But what about the entrance where the evacuees will come in?”
“Just make a hole under the barricade!”
The two were setting up a barricade to block the monsters in case the power went out.
From top-quality holy water to holy relics to physical walls.
But how long can this survive if monsters attack?
“Is everything going well?”
“Did you change shifts?”
Ray nods his head in response to Aaron’s question.
Soon, Aaron’s eyes turned to Bishop Yuna in the center of the sanctuary.
“Even if you and the choir are replaced, the problem is the bishop.”
“You’ve already been maintaining your powers for ten hours, right?”
“Yes, because the bishop cannot be replaced.”
At Campbell Cathedral, Bishop Yuna was the only priest with the <Power of Protection>.
Even with the backup of <Power of Hymn> and the choir, it is not normal to maintain the power for several hours.
This is only possible because he is a bishop-level priest.
The four men were in awe of the power of the high priest, but there were limits.
“Right now, only delta demonics are appearing, but as time passes, high-ranking demonics will appear. Although it is rare, beta demonics may appear…”
“Demonic? Delta? What do you mean?”
Aaron looked at Ray as if he was pathetic, but then he seemed to understand.
“I forgot that you are an uneducated commoner. Still, if you are someone who joined an armed organization in name, do what is called prior learning.”
“I’m sorry for being a village deacon. Please give me a kind explanation, master.”
“Hehe… In general, monsters have ‘devil-like characteristics’. They are essentially no different from devils.”
Except that it is irrational and ferocious like an animal. Of course it’s a big difference.
“They are broadly classified into five classes: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon.”
Epsilon is a subordinate soldier that does not need to be distinguished. It seems that it was too weak to begin with and wasn’t even a target for summoning.
“The guys rampaging outside right now are Delta Demonic. They have the strength of an armed soldier.”
The higher grade, Gamma Demonic, is the level of a paladin. It seems that Beta is the level that one unit must deal with.
“What about the Alpha Demonic?”
“It’s similar to a demon that succeeded in descending. If something like that comes out, you won’t be able to deal with it unless you’re a saint or a sword master.”
The Alpha Demonic was a legendary monster that threatened to destroy the city the moment it appeared.
It even seems to be uncontrollable, so it is summoned less often than the devil.
“Let’s hope there are no alpha demonics.”
“Words become seeds. Restrain yourself.”
Ray saw monsters gathered outside the cathedral.
Delta Demonic. Now, almost a group of monsters are pounding on the barrier formed by the hymn and the power of authority.
Kyaaa!
Demonics feel the pain of their flesh burning when they come into contact with holy power.
I try to beat on the barrier several times, but I retreat when I realize it is impenetrable.
“There are still people out there…”
“Arthur. Unless we use a special suicide attack, we can’t save you on our own.”
“I know, I know. For now, it’s probably best to just turn off the aggro here.”
The hymns that rang out from Campbell Cathedral attracted the attention of demonics as well as humans.
The more they flock to the cathedral, the safer the city will be.
“The problem is that wizard. Will he be calm?
“They’ll do something. But all we can do is protect this place.”
There are only four people who can fight properly. Since the entire security force had disappeared, it was difficult to hope for help within the city.
“What about other denominations? I guess the heretics have their own powers, right?”
Do they also use powers like authority?
“I heard a rumor that Eastern pagans use false power. They actually use power similar to power. But this is a place that talks about freedom of religion. Many armed people cannot enter in the first place.”
“Are you trusting the Knights of the Sun?”
Fortunately, it was only a week ago that the Church requested the dispatch of the Knights of the Sun.
I don’t know, but their arrival won’t be far away. If you hold on until then, you will win.
‘It’s a shame I can’t defeat the wizard, but I can’t take the risk.’
Part of me wants to run out and catch the wizard, but what can I do on my own?
“Well, there’s nothing to worry about. Monsters like that won’t be able to break through the power of protection, and their numbers aren’t as large as expected, so it’s enough until the knights arrive…!”
“Hey, hey… that thing… over there.”
Ray discovered something.
The entrance to the cathedral was wide open so that the sound of singing could resonate further.
On the other side, where you can only scratch at the barrier and give a wistful look, a being that makes you doubt your eyes is approaching.
thud!
Its size is three to four times larger than that of Delta Demonics.
However, before the size, it is this type that makes you feel different.
The arms and legs that have grown into various branches are thick and blunt like a rhinoceros’, while others are as beautiful as a woman’s hand, but some are only increased in size.
What about the head and body?
It may have a stubby body like a scorpion, but it has several eyes, so the part that can be assumed to be its head resembles a knight wearing a helmet.
If there is such a thing as consistency through evolution in biological design, there was nothing heterogeneous about it, including the outer shell, limbs, and head and torso.
A strange monster that escapes the normal ecosystem of this world.
“Alpha… Demonic?”
A monster that gives off a dangerous smell even at a glance.
It picked up the Delta Demonic around it.
“Huh?”
The struggling Delta Demonic. However, without the slightest hesitation, that strange monster raised its arms like those of a pitcher.
Boom!
A threatening shock. crash. An explosion of crushed corpses.
The wall is strong. It boasted absolute strength that could not be penetrated by a physical collision.
Still, the gaze wavers. The anxiety of what might happen focuses everyone’s attention.
Kyaaa!
Kick! Kiik!
The monster picks up two more. And the violent struggle continues.
An unbelievably dizzying fastball was thrown from an arm that looked as beautiful as a woman’s slender hand.
Pow!
puck!
Fabric staining the barrier with the sound of flesh exploding.
Shock and dizziness repeated over and over again. The monster tilts its head in realization.
It’s impossible to get through the barrier.
From noble mtl dot come
However, the monster’s next actions made me doubt my eyes.
“Come on, climb up the wall!”
A monster that climbs the protective barrier surrounding the cathedral as if it were a wall.
The monster climbed the sacred barrier, burning its own flesh just by touching it.
“This is crazy…!”
Ray, who realized the intention, became the flagship.
He’s looking for an opening in the wall.
A barrier is literally a barrier. There is a limit to the height, and if you climb up, you can overcome it.
Of course, can you imagine that there is a monster that can climb a wall tens of meters high, a wall that burns its skin just by touching it, with only its own strength?
“Oh, here it comes!”
The monster that has just crossed the barrier collapses as if falling.
thud! The moment it hit the ground, everyone realized.
come.
“Kaaagh!”
A monster screaming and gliding towards you.
Wow!
The barricade erected at the entrance was meaningless.
