The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 159



The Lake (Complete)

The path to the heart submerged in a bloody lake.

Thanks to Lily, I’m not experiencing the process of death that I thought would be the greatest hardship. But I’m still walking with considerable difficulty.

There were two reasons.

‘I can’t breathe.’

Even after dealing with the sin of lust and unfolding the circle once, the lake was still blood red, and the demonic pressure emanating from the realm itself continued to shock my flesh.

My breathing is so tight that even breathing is difficult. My body feels heavy like a wet cotton ball, so it is difficult to even move.

Maybe that’s why. Suddenly, I had a thought. If Lily hadn’t taken away the process of death from me with some unknown power, would I have been able to reach the heart of the bloody lake deep inside?

And secondly, in a situation where it was already difficult to move my body, I had one more thing to do to exert my strength.

“···Is your forehead okay?”

“yes···.”

When I asked, Lily, who was in my arms like a princess, buried her head in my chest and blushed.

‘It’s embarrassing.’

I remembered the story of how Lily came to hug me earlier, and clenched my teeth to keep from laughing.

-“Ugh!”

Even though we were clearly walking side by side, holding hands, Lily disappeared from my sight with a strange sound. No, to be exact, she looked blankly somewhere else, staggered around, and then suddenly fell over.

Fortunately, she wasn’t seriously hurt. When I saw the bump on Lily’s pretty forehead, I couldn’t help but hug Lily, who was unable to raise her head with her face turned pale.

Of course I understood. Well, even I have a hard time with this, and I’m already frail, so how could Lily, who has been here longer, be okay?

‘By the way···.’

I tilted my head again as I looked at Lily, whose face was buried in my chest and whose only visible feature was her bright red profile.

‘What the heck? This never happened in the game.’

Lily chased death away from me by shedding her chicken-shit tears on me.

Has this ever happened in games?

I’ve been trying to recall my memories, but the answer is a resounding ‘no.’

As I remember, if you choose Lily as the heroine and save her, she completely loses her divine powers and becomes a normal girl.

From noble mtl dot com

I’m sure there were no exceptions to this in the game, although the future of Lily, who became a normal girl, changed depending on the player’s choice.

Could it be that this is not an artificial divine power, but a real divine power?

So what should we do about Lily in the future?

Many thoughts came to my mind, but I decided to put my worries aside for a moment.

Why? Because the answer I chose was already decided and there was no way it would change.

‘Because it’s mine.’

I have to protect it. Now that I think about it, it sounds like a line from a cartoon character who throws a ball, but that’s what I thought anyway.

No matter what happens, Lily can now live happily by my side.

‘by the way···.’

Before my thoughts became more obscene, I changed my thoughts and looked inside my mind.

I feel a broken magic circle. I assume that this magic circle is the magic circle that my teacher secretly engraved in my mind when I was young, when I was beaten up by him a lot.

‘I didn’t even know it existed.’

A magic circle that was delicately and delicately engraved. This magic circle began to glow a little while ago when I was gradually losing consciousness.

I don’t know what kind of magic circle it was, but thanks to it, I was able to regain my senses for a moment and avoid being completely consumed by the evil.

‘surely···.’

When I see things like this, I feel like my teacher really cared for me.

Although it is an undeniable fact that I ran away because she had severe spinster hysteria, was extremely obsessive, and had a violent nature.

Anyway, the teacher was the teacher, and on days like today, I really miss seeing him.

‘What are you doing now···?’

I had to immediately throw that question, which had briefly crossed my mind, far away.

Thump. Thump.

Because, the giant heart of the blood-red lake began to appear in my vision, and a loud beating sound could be heard in my ears.

****

A blonde-haired woman who was selecting daily necessities at a general store in a downtown area was mumbling something with a blank expression.

“Where are you and what are you doing now?”

Her name is Daphne, and she is an ordinary teacher who is worried about her runaway student.

And there was one being who suddenly crumpled the ordinary teacher’s hazy expression.

“What does it matter where you are or what you’re doing? You’re going to turn me into a bloodsucker as soon as you see me anyway.”

His name is Malik, he was a ghost from the past who unintentionally lived a second life as a staff member of Daphne.

“Malik, have you been a bit grumpy lately?”

Daphne’s words were true. It was understandable. Malik simply wanted to live a second life as a human being, but Daphne ignored his feelings and made him a staff member, using him as her own.

Malik, who longs for freedom, had a set moment when he was granted freedom: when he was doing housework.

Malik, deprived of his freedom, protested, begged, and even pleaded with Daphne several times. But the answer he received was always the same.

-“Not until Camel returns.”

Since he knew that his cunning old colleague would not let him go anyway, Malik naturally gave up his servile attitude.

Maybe that’s why.

“It must be Daphne’s skin and old wrinkles that have become rough.”

Malik’s speaking skills were at their peak as he gave up his bowing attitude.

‘Oops.’

Still, this was a bit much. Malik, who thought that he might feel the pain of his spine being folded in half even with a cane, started to secretly look around.

‘Huh? Why aren’t you saying anything?’

It was strange. At this point, you should at least feel your bones breaking, but Malik wasn’t feeling anything.

‘What? Did that guy, the captain, show up?’

Malik thought so and laughed inwardly. It was an absurd fantasy that could never happen.

‘uh···.’

Malik, putting aside his delusions and turning his gaze to where Daphne was looking, was at a loss for words.

‘Why is this real···?’

Daphne was completely frozen. In front of her was a man with black hair who was selecting items.

****

Suddenly.

Michelangelo opened the large door roughly and looked inside the room with a stern expression.

“The fact that you’re here now means….”

“I guess it means that the gamble I made after much thought has paid off.”

Inside, Pope Franco was waiting for him, sitting on a chair with an indecipherable smile on his face.

“Mr. Michelangelo. I knew you would come.”

Next to him, with a determined expression, was the next saint, Duran.

“The current situation is···.”

Michelan looked at Duran with a questioning expression, and Duran shrugged and continued.

“First, finish what you were going to do. That way, I think the story will progress.”

“···.”

The atmosphere was so natural. Michelan took out the dagger he had received from Camel to clear his complicated mind.

Thump, thump.

I felt my heart beating wildly.

I sincerely hope that the dagger’s color doesn’t turn black.

A brief moment of silence followed.

visor.

The silvery dagger fell from Michelan’s trembling hand and settled on the floor.

Bam.

And then, a man who had been loyal to the Pope all his life knelt down and wiped the tears welling up in his eyes with his hand.

“I… I dare to… the Pope.”

“I would have done the same thing, Michelangelo. So get up.”

Franco got up from his seat and approached Michelan, saying:

“I’m sorry for everything.”

Thud. Franco placed a hand on Michelan’s shoulder and slowly lifted him up.

“I won’t make excuses like I had no choice because many people’s lives were at stake. However, I think I can tell you this one thing.”

“···.”

“As of now, this old man has no intention of turning away from his duties and responsibilities as a Pope. If he turns away any longer, it looks like he will soon be in a coffin.”

“Your Holiness···.”

“I think so too. Do you remember? The first verse you recited at the foot of the cross at the Crusader Ordination.”

“yes···.”

“Let me recite it once.”

Franco smiled kindly and asked Michelan, and Michelan, with tears in his eyes, knelt down again, stuck his sword into the floor, and began to recite the verse devoutly.

“My faithfulness and faith are stars that shine even in the infinite darkness, and they are swords that defeat evil···.”

“I will not yield to evil.”

“I will swing my sword until the moment my soul burns.”

Duran and the Pope took turns receiving it, completing the Knight’s Oath.

“In 30 minutes, there will be quite a few people gathered in the auditorium.”

The Pope, who had said so, continued speaking by holding up a sword that he had not held for a long time.

“Let’s swing together. It’s been a while.”

****

A huge heart comes into view. A small, delicate heart is also visible embedded in the center of the huge heart.

In front of the two hearts, Lily and I held our swords in our joined hands, reciting the ritual verses.

“My faithfulness and faith are stars that shine even in the infinite darkness, and they are swords that defeat evil···.”

“I will not yield to evil.”

“I will swing my sword until the moment my soul burns.”

We completed the oath and pierced it with a sword.

A heart embedded in a heart.
