Raising the Saint of the Evil God in the Novel

24 – Chapter 24

Illyana weeps while holding on to Ea’s corpse.

I want to soothe her, but I don’t know what kind of reaction it will bring.

I can’t be hasty in comforting you because this incident is partly my fault.

How many feet did you have to stomp like that?

Finally, Illyana took action.

“Heh, heh. Black. Whoops.”

With her tears still flowing, Illyana went out of her pit with Ea that had been placed on top of the servants’ sachet pile.

After walking for a while, she came to a garden she had visited before.

A place where there are no flowers or anything left now, and the trees and grass that have all rotted away tell us that this place was a garden.

Illyana went to the center and started digging with her bare hands without using any tools.

At some point, the mace that had been hanging from Illyana’s finger in the form of a ring spread her iron blades wide and took the shape of a shovel, but she didn’t even look at it and continued to dig into the soil.

She continued with that sad cry of her own.

Her blood oozes from Illyana’s hands and her fingernails crack.

And as if paying for it, the ground digs deeper and deeper.

When enough soil was dug up to lay one person down, she stood holding Ea’s corpse.

But Illyana couldn’t put it down.

She shed tears while holding Ea’s corpse for a while, but eventually, her tears stopped.

“…Thank you.”

The corners of Illyana’s mouth were twisted unnaturally as if she had been forcibly pulled up.

Illyana lays Ea’s body in a pit and covers it with soil.

Watching that, I had mixed feelings.

In Ea’s final moments, Ea was caught in her brainwashing.

Giving up her life for her Illyana was ultimately the result of her brainwashing.

Illyana, who doesn’t know that, is just saddened by Ea’s death.

Illyana has a secret she must never hide.

After standing for a while in front of the buried Ea, Illyana slightly lowered her head and turned her steps to leave her mansion.

She doesn’t know where to go or what to do.

She just walks along her path, wherever her feet land.

But she can’t stop it, and there’s no reason to stop it, so she can’t help but stare at it.

******

How long has it been since that happened?

She walks on her street without thinking, sometimes he satisfies her hunger with the sacraments he gives, and at night she sleeps in the arms of her tentacles.

I don’t even know what I’m doing or where I’m heading.

I just want to get away from Mr. Ea, who is buried in the garden, and look away from her.

Even if she says it’s not a fundamental solution.

A different sound interrupts the sound of footsteps that continued to form a certain beat.

I turn around and look in the direction the sound came from, and I see a wagon approaching.

As I moved my body to one side of the road so I could pass and continued to move my legs, the sound of a wagon gradually increased and eventually stayed next to me.

Who is it?

A robbery? Bandit?

…It doesn’t matter what it is.

Recognizing my intentions, the ring changes into the form of a mace and is placed in my right hand.

But what I heard right after that was very different from what I expected.

“Where are you going?”

“…There is nothing set.”

A man approaching with a friendly attitude.

It doesn’t feel that threatening because it looks delicate.

Maybe that’s why, I answered his question without realizing it.

“Um…Then would you like to ride in my wagon? I’m on my way to Illius right now, and I’ll give it to you for a piece of silver.”

“Okay…”

Just as he was about to reject the suspicious man’s offer, he heard his voice.

A voice I heard for the first time since that incident.

[Accept.]

“…I understand.”

At my words, the man smiled and started tidying up the inside of the wagon. In the meantime, a black mist gathered in the air and a silver coin appeared.

“Okay, here you go!”

“…Here is the price.”

The man who received it as if snatching a piece of silver got on the coachman’s seat.

“Then let’s go!”

What is so exciting about it?

“…Haa…”

As I let out a small sigh in the rattling wagon, a man started talking to me.

“By the way, are you adventurous?”

“…Adventurer?”

“Oh, isn’t it? You carried a weapon, so I thought you were an adventurer.”

“…No.”

He spoke as coldly as possible with the shortest possible answer, implying that he should not talk to her, but the man kept talking to him, whether or not he knew what he meant.

“Oh, you know what? They said that the Altena family disappeared a while ago. According to the story I heard, I tried to use the power of evil spirits and failed… Oh, I’m not afraid.”

“Oh… Your estate is going to be very noisy from now on. That’s why I came out like this.”

If you knew who the person in front of you is, you would want to tell that story to yourself.

After that, the man continued to chat, but he had neither the energy nor the thought to respond.

.

How long must it have been since I hoped that I would leave those stories in one ear and leave my body on the rocking wagon?

As the sun had set and I was looking out of the dark wagon, a man’s voice changed the subject.

“Ah, we have arrived. That thing over there is Illius!”

“…”

When I turned my gaze, I saw a huge castle wall.

Lights leaking from the inside lit up the dark sky.

The carriage is moving towards that place.

Then the carriage suddenly stopped.

“Are you arriving?”

“Ah, it’s a checkpoint. Please wait for a moment.”

As soon as those words were finished, a man accompanied by a knight clad in armor began to approach the carriage.

His hand that was holding the mace naturally tensed up, and his breathing quickened.

The shape of the armor and the sense of intimidation are all different, but the armor keeps overlapping.

The inspector, who was talking to the man driving the carriage, glanced in my direction and started talking to me.

“Hey, do you have something to prove your identity?”

There can be no such thing.

All I have now is a mace and a set of clothes.

While he was perplexed by that sudden question, he felt something in his left hand.

A shiny gold coin that can be seen when you open your hand.

I don’t remember having anything like this.

…That’s right.

“…Here it is.”

When I handed the gold coin that was in my left hand to the inspector, the inspector took it very casually and said.

“Yes, your identity has been verified. You may pass by.”

After saying that, the inspector approached the carriage behind him.

It sounded like a small clicking sound from the man driving the carriage, but it was irrelevant.

After dropping me off and sending the wagon away without saying goodbye, I see a landscape I have never seen before.

A bright land contrasted with a street full of people and a dark sky.

What should I do here?

I don’t know.

I only came here because He led me in the first place.

I move my feet without any purpose as before.

I don’t want to think about it anymore.

I don’t want to move on my own.

If I could end this suffering by becoming a doll, I would gladly become a doll.

– Plop

“Please, guide me…”

I can’t hear his voice even if I sit down and mumble in an alleyway where no one arrives before I know it.

“Please… Please…”

No matter how much he wanted to sit down like that, he suddenly heard the door open.

-Kikkik

“Yes brother. All right. To my sister… What is this b*tch?”

The person who appeared when the door opened was a large, muscular man.

“What is this bastard? Get out of here… Huh?”

-Bang

The man tried to kick me as if I was being annoyed, but the attack was probably an attack that would affect my life.

The body reacted first due to the command to “Live” That was still being maintained.

I grabbed the leg that was flying toward me and threw it through the door.

“What, what!”

“Who are you!”

Three or four people poured out from inside the door, causing a commotion.

Then, when they see me, they are confused among themselves.

At that time, a woman’s voice was heard from across the alley.

“Hmm? What are you all doing out there?”

“No, sister!”

A woman with red hair, wearing a witch’s hat and smoking a smoking pipe, called Sister.

The men answered the woman’s question.

“This kid blew David away.”

“Huh? Is this kid?”

Saying that, the woman glanced me up and down, then brought out her strange words.

“…Do you want to be my family?”

“Who, sister?”

“I think it’s pretty strong enough to blow David away, and looking at the condition of the clothes, it doesn’t seem like there’s a place to stay. Hmm. Perfect!”

The woman who judged me based on what standard asked me once again.

“How about you become our family? We can provide you with food, clothes, and a place to sleep.”

It is unmatched to be awarded.

It would be foolish to accept such a thing.

“I don’t like…”

[Accept it.]

“…Good.”

“Hmm? I didn’t expect you to make a decision so quickly. I like it more and more.”

After saying that, the woman took my hand and led me through the door and continued the story.

“Now then, shall we introduce ourselves? I am Adela, the head of Louisa. What about our little one?”

“…This is Illyana.”

“Illyana! Um… That’s a little long. Leah, yes. I’ll call you Leah.”
