Episode 348

“So you’re saying I was kicked out now without any income?”

“sorry.”

Rubo bowed his head at John’s anger.

Because even if I had ten mouths, I would have no excuses.

John, barely able to control his anger, asked.

“Only nine people came back? You still haven’t figured out Chen Xi’s whereabouts?”

“yes!”

“So in the end, we wasted a month and didn’t find any clues about the saint. Plus, all contact with Chen Xi was completely cut off… … .”

“I have no face.”

“Is it really true that Zeon laid a hand on Chen Xi?”

“That’s not it. I know because I’ve been watching him.”

“What are the chances that he tricked you?”

“I watched you for twenty-four hours with my telescope.”

With those words, Lubo pursed his lips.

My pride was hurt.

Clairvoyance was his everything.

Even if he was a great man, if someone said something that doubted his clairvoyance, he would be offended.

John also noticed that Lubo was upset, but he had no intention of apologizing.

“Then why did contact with Chen Xi disappear?”

“Maybe she found a clue?”

“Did you find a clue?”

“Yes! The situation was so urgent that I may not have been able to leave a message.”

“That could be the case.”

John nodded.

Dark Saints basically perform individual missions.

Even if they are given a joint mission, they each move independently.

Because of that, if you move without contacting us, there is no way to know your whereabouts.

“Where did Chen Xi last contact you?”

“It was near the northern border of Sinchon.”

“Was there anything special to say?”

“After saying that we would focus on that area for the time being, contact was lost.”

“It’s north of Sinchon… … .”

John stroked the cross in his hand and thought for a moment.

Currently, Yohan and Dongdaemun were isolated.

In Neo Seoul, there were clashes between each district, and the search of the slums was not easy.

The conflict became even more intense after rumors spread that the saintess was a class A healer. Not only each district of Neo Seoul, but even each organization in the slums became greedy.

Naturally, they did not cooperate with the Dongdaemun events, but rather often interfered or started fights.

Because of that, the search for the saint was delayed.

If things continued like this, there was a high probability that the saint would be taken away by another region or force.

There had to be some way to break through.

“The other victims have clear causes of death. Only Chen Xi disappeared without any contact. There must be a reason.”

His intuition was whispering.

They say that Chen Xi’s disappearance is related to the saint.

John felt an impulse so strong that he couldn’t control it.

“Joshua!”

“yes!”

At that moment, Joshua appeared in the room without any warning.

“Gather all the Dark Saints and Paladins. I will go to Sinchon myself.”

“If that continues, there will definitely be a clash with Zeon. Didn’t we chase away all the Dark Saints after a month?”

“Are you going to give up just like this?”

“no.”

“It was an entity that we had to confront and eliminate at some point anyway. Now that it’s come to this, I’ll take this opportunity to eliminate Zeon and take control of Shinchon.”

“All right.”

Joshua answered, bowing his head.

John looked up at the huge cross and said:

“If Dongdaemun is to survive, we absolutely need the Saintess. We must secure her at all costs. Where Chenxi disappeared, the Saintess must surely be there.”

“Haa! Haa!”

Remura took a deep breath.

You are temporarily exhausted because you used up too much mana while using skills.

Bakum, who was nearby, looked at Remura with a pitiful expression. But that was all.

Because Heather was by Remura’s side, she couldn’t say or do anything.

“Heather patted Remura on the shoulder and said,

“Thank you for your hard work. Let’s rest for a bit and then get back to treatment.”

“Mom! Can we do it tomorrow?”

“What do you mean? There are so many people waiting for you, and you plan on disregarding their expectations?”

“No, it’s not that. It’s just that it’s hard… … .”

“So, let me rest a little. If I can’t even endure this much, how can I do something big?”

Remura bowed his head at Heather’s words.

‘I don’t want to do anything big, Mom!’

Her words just lingered in her mouth.

Heather treated Lemura harshly under the pretext of saving the people of Crocodile Den.

I lined up people who needed treatment and let Remura use her skills.

He healed so many people.

Up until this point, Remura had no complaints.

He was free to use his powers if it could help heal the sick.

The problem is that Heather is trying to use Remura to satisfy her own greed.

She made those who received Remura’s treatment swear loyalty to her. She would only allow those who swore loyalty to use their Cure Skills.

Many people have pledged their loyalty to receive Remura’s treatment. There are already over a hundred of them.

And all of them are Awakened.

All the healed Awakened became Remura’s personal guard.

A representative figure was Bakum.

In this way, Awakened people who had sworn loyalty began to swarm around Remura. However, the one who gave them orders was not Remura, but Heather.

The Awakened could not dare disobey Heather’s orders.

Heather’s eyes looking at them were filled with great ambition.

‘I will establish my kingdom here.’

It would have been impossible to do it alone, but it was definitely possible with his daughter.

There were already a hundred Awakened people following him.

With them, conquering the crocodile den was no dream.

‘After we clear out all the crocodile dens, we’ll go up to the surface. We don’t have to live in this smelly, dirty place forever.’

Remura had to work harder to achieve her ambitions.

There were still many people lining up to receive her treatment.

Because it was such a dirty and damp place, there were many people who got sick. All of these people were the targets of Heather’s work.

Of course, it was her daughter who exerted the force, not her. But it didn’t matter anyway.

Because everything her daughter had was also hers.

“Gasp! Gasp!”

Remura was leaning against the wall, breathing heavily.

After several days of forced marching, all the mana in my body was depleted.

This wasn’t something that could be solved by resting for an hour or two.

She needed to rest for at least a few days and take care of her body. But Heather didn’t give her any time to rest.

“Now that you’ve rested, let’s quickly heal the people. There are still so many people waiting for your help.”

The header pointed to those waiting in line.

“Mom, can you rest a little longer?”

“What if they die? It’s not too late to rest after they’ve all been treated.”

“but…….”

“Listen to your mother. That’s how you become a good daughter.”

“yes!”

Eventually, Remura mustered up his strength and stood up.

I gained strength from the thought of not wanting to disappoint my mother.

Heather introduced the first target to Remura.

“This person is an E-class magic awakener. He can use rare freezing magic, so take special care of him.”

“yes!”

The first subject had completely destroyed lungs.

As a child, his lungs lost their function and he was unable to use his abilities even after awakening.

Normally, when awakened, most diseases and injuries are cured in an instant. However, diseases caused by the harsh environment of the Crocodile Den are not cured even after awakening.

That’s why there are so many awakened patients.

They were all targets of Heather’s recruitment.

Remura gathered her strength and unleashed her Cure Skill.

Chemistry!

The first subject was treated with intense light.

“iced coffee!”

The first subject shed tears.

Because the pain in his lungs that had plagued him his entire life was completely gone.

He said, holding Remura’s two hands.

“Thank you. I will repay this favor with my life.”

“Oh, yes!”

Remura, who was holding my hand, couldn’t hide her bewildered expression.

That was when.

“Ha! You’re here. You cured such a serious patient in one breath. You really are a saint.”

A woman’s voice was heard from the entrance.

“Who are you?”

Bakum shouted, blocking Remura’s path.

“Don’t be so cautious, brother! I am not an enemy. I have come to fetch the saintess.”

The person approaching with a smile on his face was none other than Chen Xi.

Chen Xi’s face was filled with joy as he looked at Remura.

It was five minutes ago that she arrived here, following Remura’s trail. So she could see.

This is how Remura treats the Awakened.

She was astonished to see the person who was on the verge of death suddenly regain his color and be completely healed.

No healer on earth can cure a patient with such a serious illness in one breath.

At that level, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a saint in the church.

It was clear that if we brought Remura to Dongdaemun, the church would expand explosively.

“Haa! Haa!”

I was so happy I could hardly breathe.

That’s when Heather stepped forward.

“What do you mean? A saint?”

“A prophecy has been given to our church. Find the saint and bring her to us.”

“So, are you saying that an oracle has come down to me telling me to find my daughter Remura?”

“Yes, God himself gave John the command.”

“Haha! I knew it. My daughter Remura is no ordinary Awakened. She is the chosen child of God.”

The header blew up the exchange.

Chen Xi looked at that header quietly.

Instinctively, he realized that Header was controlling Remura.

Chen Xi said to Heather.

“Come with me. If you become the saint of Dongdaemun, you can rule Neo Seoul.”

“Why me?”

“yes?”

“So why should I go to Dongdaemun? My daughter is a saint, so of course John should come under me.”

“that…….”

Chen Xi made a bewildered expression.

Remura was unable to say anything due to the momentum of the header.

Just by looking at it, you could tell who was the master and who was the servant.

It was clear that his mother, Heather, was mentally controlling his daughter, Remura.

Normally, in such cases, it would have been right to negotiate with the mother, Heather. But then it was clear that he would be dragged around by Heather endlessly.

‘What should I do?’

Even as she agonized, Heather continued to speak.

“We will establish a kingdom here. John must come to my kingdom and kiss my feet.”

The trigger was Heather’s words that crossed the line.

Chen Xi made the decision.

For a moment her eyes lit up with an eerie glow.

Her gaze turned to the man behind Heather. He was an E-class magic awakener who had just been cured by Remura. The moment his eyes met Chen Xi’s, the E-class magic awakener’s eyes lost focus.

– Eliminate the devil who is trying to corrupt the saint with evil.

A secret whisper reached the ears of the E-class Awakened.

For a moment, the E-rank Awakened had a vision.

To his eyes, Heather looks like a giant snake.

However, the E-class Awakened person did not even realize that what he was seeing was an illusion.

“Devil, go back to hell.”

He casted an ice spell towards the header.

Phew!

“Ahh!”

With a scream, Heather fell forward. There was a large hole in her back.

“Oh, Mom!”

Remura was startled and tried to hug Heather. But Chenxi hugged her first and shouted.

“Ah! The saint is in danger. Everyone, protect her.”

At Chen Xi’s shout, the Awakened surrounded Remura.

Meanwhile, Bakum attacked the E-class Awakened one who attacked the header.

“How dare you repay kindness with enmity.”

“No, I… … .”

The E-class Awakened who came to his senses was bewildered by what he had done.

Because my memory completely disappeared in an instant.

That was one of Chen Xi’s abilities.

Mind control through hypnosis.

It wasn’t that difficult for Chen Xi to control the mind of a newly healed Aesong who had been sick for a long time like an E-class Awakened.

puck!

Before the E-class Awakened could even make an excuse, Bakum’s attack struck. The E-class Awakened had one arm broken and was bleeding, but was barely able to save his life.

“Anyone who seeks the saint cannot be forgiven.”

Bakum shouted, raising his bloody fist.

All the other Awakened ones responded to him.

“Protect the saint.”

“Wow!”

It was at that moment that Levin, Jetoya and the others appeared.

Levin muttered, sensing the mad atmosphere.

“Tsk! I think I’m screwed.”
