Episode 178. The King of ‘Persuasion’
“Yoon Ji-ho?”

I looked at Yoon Ji-ho reflexively.

The knights and priests of the Gaia Church, and the Red Blade Guild members who have become believers.

He didn’t seem at all discouraged even when he was standing in front of those guys.

“Brother. Didn’t you bring me here in case something like this happens?”

“…That’s true, though.”

Of course, the reason I brought Yoon Ji-ho was because I thought he could turn enemies into allies.

Mind control would be more helpful for revenge than just killing them all.

but.

“… Isn’t this situation a bit too much?”

My plan was to assume that we would have the upper hand and be able to unilaterally swear at them.

So, in a situation where the battle is won, Yun Ji-ho leisurely steps forward and persuades the enemies.

But now it wasn’t like that.

The idea that anything could be done in a tense standoff like the one we have now is, well… .

‘It’s going to be tough, you’re on high alert.’

I didn’t hear it well.

Because the number of enemies had grown so much, it didn’t seem easy for my father and I to subdue them without killing them.

however.

“Brother. Trust me just this once.”

Yoon Ji-ho was still brimming with confidence.

Well… there was no reason not to even try.

Even if there is a difference, it won’t be dangerous.

so.

“Okay, I got it.”

I moved aside slightly to make room for the guy.

Yoon Ji-ho stood up straight, standing between me and my father.

‘…hmm?’

But the location was quite coincidental.

【Jiho is being adorned with a halo!】

It was just as Frill said.

The sun’s current position is behind our group.

Thanks to this, a form was created where a halo shines on Jiho.

furthermore.

‘We’re on top of the terrain.’

Even in the forest terrain with many steps, our location is higher up.

This was because the location of the dungeon entrance was somewhat like a basin.

Well, anyway.

‘First of all, the atmosphere is good.’

Thanks to this, a sacred atmosphere was created for Yoon Ji-ho.

Of course, it didn’t have a big effect right away.

“All prepare for battle! Infidels!”

Because the religious bastards had already defined us as enemies.

“Punish all the non-believers─”

That’s right, the moment their attack was about to begin.

“You foolish ones.”

Yun Ji-ho’s soft voice echoed throughout the area.

That moment.

“… … !”

“!!!!!”

Surprisingly, silence fell over the area.

Yoon Ji-ho continued speaking.

“Do you know your own sins?”

Then he glanced around the room.

“And how can you still call yourselves servants of the goddess Gaia?”

He immediately shouted.

But it felt so natural.

‘What, have you been cooped up like this all this time and practiced your speech?’

It had an incomprehensible appeal.

They say that in the past, when a dictator started giving a speech, people would get sucked in like that, but I don’t know.

‘I don’t know, but it was a remark that was reminiscent of something like that.’

Yoon Ji-ho’s words had the power to pierce people’s hearts, and at the same time, they entered their hearts without any resistance.

and.

Behind the guy, even though he wasn’t talking to me, this is what I feel.

What would it be like for those who face this voice head on?

“What, what did you say…?”

“We have sinned against the goddess… …?”

In an instant, the church members fell into confusion.

What they believe most deeply.

Gaia.

When that belief was directly denied, it was natural that it was difficult to maintain one’s sanity.

That’s all that’s surprising.

‘How can there be no backlash when one’s deepest beliefs are denied?’

It was Yoon Ji-ho’s ability to instigate.

【Uh… Eugene. This doesn’t seem like incitement?】

‘huh?’

【Jiho seems completely sincere.】

‘……ah.’

From my perspective, it is incitement, but from Yoon Ji-ho’s perspective, it doesn’t seem to be.

Just letting the other person know what you believe.

“You have not thought about what the Goddess’ true will is.”

“That, that can’t be! We follow the doctrine faithfully─”

“no.”

“… … .”

“Doctrines are nothing more than the words of the Goddess interpreted by humans to suit their own interests.”

“… … !”

It was a belief.

Yoon Ji-ho’s beliefs were huge, strong, and even gentle.

And that belief.

“How can you give up thinking for yourself and just listen to what the lying hypocrites say?”

“Ah, ahh…!”

“Why have I been…?”

By preying on the opponent’s shallow beliefs, he greatly expanded his own presence.

Forced the same beliefs on others.

I persuaded him.

By doing so.

“True disciple of the Goddess! Please teach us…!”

He made his enemies kneel down.

dump.

dump.

The church members suddenly sat down, holding each other’s hands.

My impressions after seeing it could be summarized in one word.

‘It’s amazing.’

It’s amazing that you can bring someone to their knees with just a few words.

Yoon Ji-ho’s ability was ‘amazing’ in itself.

“Eugene.”

“yes.”

“You have a great younger brother.”

“… That’s right.”

My father, too, seemed to sense the greatness of that ability.

Even though we are stronger in terms of force right now, this was a special ability.

It wasn’t the power of a skill like “Judgment”, nor was it something that was done to render them unable to resist, but rather a “persuasion” that was accomplished in a very short period of time.

Thanks to Yoon Ji-ho, we were able to avoid fighting dozens of Gaia Church believers.

Not only that, but he succeeded in making them his allies.

‘This is also strange because it is solved too easily.’

For me, who was prepared to have a big fight with the religious bastards, it was a somewhat disappointing ending.

Well, that wasn’t a problem.

‘Because what’s good is good.’

and.

“What the heck… Everyone, wake up! That guy is a cult!”

“He has awakened us to our foolishness!”

“Profit! “Judgment”!”

“Priest! We are not unbelievers! How can you judge us…!”

Really, not everyone was impressed by Yoon Ji-ho.

This person appears to be the leader of the priesthood.

‘Are you a second-class priest?’

The man who appeared to be a 6-star priest did not fall for Yoon Ji-ho’s words.

However, there was nothing that could be done.

The believers who were influenced by Yoon Ji-ho’s words could not be returned to their original state through methods such as “Judgment.”

also.

“Father Ryu Seong-jin. Stop it.”

“Commander of the Knights! Ha, but…!”

“I recently heard that a new sect is gaining strength within the church.”

“… Then, then!”

“It seems like it might be related to these.”

The leader of the opposing group’s knights.

‘You’re a 7-star knight.’

Those two alone were not fooled by Yoon Ji-ho’s words.

Yoon Ji-ho spoke to them again.

“Brothers, there is no reason for us to be at odds.”

“Shut up!”

“The Goddess was not wrong, the leaders of the sect simply distorted the Goddess’ words for their own benefit.”

“I’ll pull that tongue out.”

It was no use.

It seemed that Yoon Ji-ho was able to ‘persuade’ only the lower-ranking believers so easily.

“Father Ryu Seong-jin. Please bless me.”

“Oh, I see. “Holy Bless”!”

Shwaaaaak-

““Saint Armor.” “Saint Auror.”

Hwaaaaak-!

A knight commander who covers his entire body with buffs.

In his eyes, I could see the will to destroy us and bring things back to normal.

“You serpents who deceive with wicked words! I will judge you!”

Then, the commander of the knights rushes straight towards me.

“Huh… You gave up on thinking for yourself. It seems you never wanted to become a true servant of the Goddess.”

Yun Ji-ho muttered and took a small step back.

and.

I met my father’s eyes.

There was no need for a long explanation.

It was so obvious that I had to subdue the knight in front of me.

Damn it.

We blocked Yun Ji-ho’s path from the fiercely charging knights.

“You guys! You’re in league with that fake guy!”

The paladin burst into flames and attempted to attack us.

“You can’t defeat me, who has been blessed by the Goddess! Die!”

Kaang!

“…uh?”

but.

Even so, he is a 7-star paladin.

Even if I were to surround myself with divine magic, I could not overcome my father, who was an 8-star warrior, and me, who was armed with the power of a dragon.

“Profit! “Judgment”!”

Hwaaaaak-

As a last resort, I tried ‘judging’, but… .

“Hmm. Compared to what I experienced with An Su-hwan, it’s ticklish.”

“I don’t even get any messages like this.”

My father and I both had the mental strength to laugh it off.

“Oh, my God…!”

So we are.

He easily subdued the knight commander who seemed about to faint from surprise.

“Hey, let go of this!”

The second-class priest who was gaping at the back was a bonus.

Hereby.

“We who follow the teachings of the true goddess are called the ‘Eugene Sect.’”

“Oh, Apostle Yun Ji-ho! Please give me your teachings!”

“The Goddess is just and merciful, even to those who do not believe in her and are unbelievers.”

“Is that so!?”

“Yes. We should not educate non-believers through ‘judgment’ but through love and care so that they can realize it on their own.”

“Ohhh…!”

Through Yun Ji-ho, we were able to increase the number of new believers in the ‘Eugene Sect’ to over 100.

For reference, 40 were originally members of the religious order, and 60 were members of the Red Blade Guild.

of course.

“Ha! What is going to happen to the church…?”

“Sir, Commander of the Knights! Hey, quiet for now─”

“What have I to fear as a priest who follows the Goddess? Not even death can shake my faith.”

The previous commander of the paladin and the priest were still hostile to us.

what….

“Brothers, would you please listen to what I have to say?”

“Get out!”

“…Excuse me, Commander of the Knights. Can I at least hear your story?”

“What!?”

“After all, aren’t we all servants of the same goddess? And “Judgment” is useless too… .”

“Yes. If you wish, you may ‘judge’ me. My faith in Goddess Gaia is strong.”

“… … Okay. I’ll listen to the story.”

“thank you.”

Because things have changed now.

We need to persuade them not when they are hostile towards us, but once they have been subdued and have calmed down.

‘I’m sure you’ll do well.’

Yoon Ji-ho’s ‘persuasion’ could have much greater power.

‘Well, if you can’t convince him, just kill him.’

It wasn’t difficult.

at that time.

My father opened his mouth softly.

“Hmm. Now that I think about it, one of the problems I was struggling with has been solved.”

“What are you worried about?”

“Those Red Blade guys. I was wondering how they were going to deal with their criminal nature….”

“ah.”

The ‘Red Blade’ guild that my father succeeded in taking control of.

All the guys here are criminals.

So when we became one side, there was a need to control it well… .

“That’s right. Everyone has become religious.”

“right.”

Because of “Judgment”, everyone started to believe in Gaia.

Even, it wasn’t on the side of the hostile Gaia Cult.

I became a member of the ‘Eugene Sect’ because of Yoon Ji-ho.

Given that situation, not only has he become a reliable ally, but the possibility of causing trouble has also been significantly reduced.

Looking at those people, I blurted out a word.

“You’re lucky.”

But my father shook his head.

“No. Isn’t that what you have accomplished, Eugene?”

“uh….”

Of course, to some extent it was a result of my pursuit of revenge.

However, I feel a bit embarrassed to say that it was all my fault since I couldn’t predict everything perfectly.

【That could be possible. After all, if Eugene hadn’t tried, it wouldn’t have happened, right?】

Even Frill seemed to have the same thoughts as her father.

“… I guess that’s what it’ll be like.”

I scratched my cheek for no reason.

And then.

“I guess I should check the dungeon information.”

Unable to overcome my embarrassment, I went to the dungeon entrance and checked the information using the “Tenauzes System”.

What on earth is so special about this Ice Forest dungeon that the Gaia Cult members wanted to raid it without telling anyone?

and.

“……crazy?”

I was able to confirm its identity.

It was completely different from the ‘holy relics’ they had been insisting on until now, which were simply objects that held great power.
