The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 155
155 – Lake (4)
Above the magic circle emitting black light, countless black circuits appear.
Put a small amount of mana in your fingers and carefully hold a strand of circuitry.
Move your fingers holding the circuit precisely so that it does not break or become tangled.
From top to bottom, left to right,
Drawing a straight line, then a diagonal line.
How much did you move your fingers like that?
The tangled strands of the circuit begin to take shape, and the black light emanating from the magic circle begins to take shape.
Thump.
A faint but clear sound.
When I looked at the floor, what had been a magic circle had suddenly become a black passage leading underground.
‘Well, over there…’
Before entering the passage, I looked towards Michelan for a moment and then turned my head again and started walking.
I was probably upset, so I thought I would say one more thing.
‘I’ll take care of it.’
Looking at Michelan, who was leading the remaining personnel and moving in order, it seemed that there was no need to do that.

Lily, who had been walking down a dark road filled with black, looked ahead of her.
In my trembling vision, I saw five figures walking ahead with a faint torch in the background.
Four old cardinals,
And there is one woman with jet black hair.
These were executioners. Executors who perform pilgrimage rituals by offering their blood and part of their souls to the bloody lake.
They always spoke to Lily as if they were brainwashing her. The reason why light and the grace of the Heavenly God exist in this world is because they and you, the saint, are sacrificing. That’s why this world can exist.
The old Lily, that is, when she had just been chosen as a saint, believed those words completely.
It had to be that way. Because, although it was true that the process was very painful, the sacred power gained through the process was worth more than that.
If only Lily touched her hand imbued with her divine power.
Someone’s broken bone was put together.
Someone’s separated limbs were reconnected.
Someone’s incurable disease has been cured.
Those people, and those people’s families, lovers, and acquaintances.
Everyone was happy and thankful with tears in their eyes for the miracle that Lily had wrought.
Lily, exposed to their diverse and intense emotions that could not be expressed in words, had no choice but to naturally accept them.
Even if her own body is ruined and ruined,
Even though she is molested and dominated by all kinds of unclean emotions,
That it is one’s destiny to sacrifice again and again for the sake of many people.
Like that, Lily walked every year.
This dark and dark road,
This damp floor, splattering with sticky black sludge,
This unpleasant underground tomb where you can constantly hear the screams of all kinds of unclean beings.
It was a natural thing, and I accepted it as a matter of course. Because, no matter what anyone says, Lily was a saint of this era.
Lily did not believe in the Heavenly Gods, but she did believe in the emotions of people brought about by her sacrifice.
So far.
“Hmm. Our saint doesn’t look good today, does she? Why? Shall I try to guess?”
To be precise, until the executioner with jet black hair opened his mouth.
“I’m worried that someone will come here to save you, right?”
The Executioner smiled seductively, stroked Lily’s chin with her fingers and began to whisper.
“You seem to be worried a lot, so I’ll tell you in advance. “He will die here today.”
“···I don’t really know what the executor is talking about.”
“If you pretend not to know, you actually know. A child who is a vessel of sin will come here. And the reason is to free you from the bondage of the lake.”
“···.”
Lily pretended not to notice and closed her eyes tightly.
“But what can I do? That’s absolutely impossible. Why? “You will be in that bloody lake, and in order for that child to save you, he or she will have to dip in that bloody lake with you.”
“From earlier.”
Lily cut off her whispering executioner, licking her tongue like a snake.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Anyway, despite my temper… When I was a saint, I was a bit mean-spirited.”
“···Saint?”
“You didn’t know? I used to be a saint too. Was she a 4th generation saint? “I guess so.”
Lily’s eyes widened. She deserved it. When she was said to be one of the four great saints, she was the only one who was corrupted among the saints, and it was also the same thing as saying she was a sin of the present age.
I wonder if Lily’s surprised appearance was very satisfying.
“I’m curious. “I wonder if that child will even dive into that bloody lake to save you.”
Rust tore the corners of his mouth and grinned.
“Or, you’ll die from me before you even try that.”
“You are a sin…!”
Lily, in her shock, ran to the cardinals in front of her and tried to talk to them.
This woman is not an executioner, she is a sinner.
So she needs to get out right away.
Although they usually show an ugly side, they are also high-ranking priests of the Holy Kingdom.
Wouldn’t it be possible to at least stop the ritual of pilgrimage? That was the thought.
However, Lily, standing in front of the cardinals, could not say anything.
Eyes filled with black without focus,
A black haze quietly blooming from the body,
Because their faces were completely corrupted.
“You didn’t know? “Those people were my apostles.”
Rust chuckled and snapped her fingers, her cardinals grabbing onto both of Lily’s arms.

As she stepped onto the stairs leading to the basement, there was a thumping sound and her vision darkened.
Tak.
When the sword of good and evil is illuminated by starlight, the surrounding scenery begins to appear.
“···.”
It was not a beautiful scenery. No, it would be correct to say that it was a terrible sight.
The long passageway is divided into several branches here and there.
You can see doors with dried dark red blood on them, and black sediments sticking to the walls and flowing down.
Slump.
As I take a step, I feel a squishy texture. When I looked down, I saw black sediment accumulating everywhere.
“I feel it every time…”
Seeing something through a monitor feels very different from seeing it in person.
“The name of this place was probably Catacombs.”
This place, which had the setting of an old underground tomb, consisted of 4 underground floors, and the blood lake, my target, was on the 4th underground floor.
“Originally…”
In order to reach the destination, a lot of time and effort had to be invested.
Unlock various gimmicks, deal with monsters swarming all over the place, and capture the mid-boss.
I remember the days when I played games. How high was the difficulty level?
I had to invest several days to reach the 4th basement level.
I died as soon as I worked so hard to reach the bloody lake.
“I would have done that.”
Now I don’t have to do that. No, to be precise, I don’t plan on hanging out here, wasting my time and stamina.
“Divine sword type 6.”
I drew my sword. Instead of deceiving the balance, he used Mana Burn to the limit.
Starlight permeates the sword, and the mana imbued with starlight begins to distort the surrounding space and time.
“Green onion (破).”
He muttered and swung the sword that distorted everything towards the floor.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Everything located in Geomro is distorted, twisted, and broken.
Chaaa!
The half-moon shaped white sword extended all the way down.
Flashing.
A group of pure white light exploded.
When I opened my eyes, there was a large pit in front of me. The pit was so deep that I couldn’t see the bottom, and all I could see was black.
“Shall we go?”
After checking the floor with my celestial eye, I jumped into the pit without hesitation.
****
A woman with jet-black hair dips her hands into a blood-red lake, a black haze rising.
Challang.
Ripples appeared in the lake based on her hand, and soon red waves began to rippling.
Bubbling.
The blood-red lake is sticky and boils like lava.
“Kwaaa!”
“Haaak, haaak…!”
“Kihihihihi!”
“I came… I…”
“White…White blood…!”
All kinds of unclean things make lustful sounds and take on blood-red shapes.
“I think you were curious. What on earth is divine power, and can it be obtained only after overcoming such an ordeal? “What is the Heavenly God thinking when he imposes such an ordeal?”
The saint from before got up from her seat and began to slowly approach me.
“Shall I tell you?”
“I don’t like it…”
I reflexively take a step back, but the body that is captured by the fallen apostles does not move.
“Actually. This place has nothing to do with Heavenly God and that stupid woman. I realized this a long time ago. “At that time, no matter how many times I died, I had a strong sense of duty and a spirit of sacrifice.”
The woman burst into laughter and stroked my cheek while stroking her hair.
“It was a helpless, pitiful, damn time. Same goes for you. “I feel so sorry for you, I just want to make you walk the same path as me.”
“What on earth are you planning…?”
“It’s okay. After today, you won’t have to be pitiful anymore. “I will make it happen.”
“Answer me…!”
“Anyway, I understand about your temperament. I’ll answer you. I am···.”
The woman slowly pushed my back and whispered like a snake.
“I plan to give you the strength to no longer have to be pitiful. Plus.”
Tuk.
Her body leans forward as she tightens her hands and pushes me all the way. The blood-red lake gets closer little by little.
“I plan to give the fate that was tied to me away as well.”
Splash.
My vision began to turn red and all kinds of unclean things.
