Chapter 164: The God-Killing Spear (End)

Edit: Lesurous

At that moment, Hansung withdrew a sizable sword fragment from his chest .

Just a sword fragment . It had no other characteristics .

The fact that it was so big suggested that it was a fragment of a large sword .

However, it was strange . The power felt from the fragment was beyond imagination .

“Saintess of the earth . Do you know what this item is?”

As Hansung handed over the sword fragment, the saintess received it .

The saintess of the earth had the power to know and feel anything that came from the earth .

The saintess shook her head after touching and looking at the fragment for a while .

“I do not know . I feel that this substance is not of this world . Hansung-nim, where did you obtain this?”

“The king of the dragons . I received it from him . And he asked me to go and find out who the owner of this fragment is . ”

“…!”

The king of the dragons!

The transcendental being that ruled all dragons .

It was said that his power was easily comparable to the demon gods .

He just didn’t move . It was because he was the size of an enormous island, and whenever he moved, the entire earth trembled .

If the king of the dragons requested it then it was anything but a simple item .

After thinking for a while, the saintess reluctantly gave an answer .

“Time . I feel countless streams of time in the fragment . ”

“Time, you say . Oh well, if the saintess doesn’t know then only the ‘Sage’s Room’ remains . Even though I promised I would never see those backroom elders again…”

Hansung clucked his tongue and shook his head .

But Muyoung was among the viewers of the fragment .

For some reason that fragment was familiar .

‘King Slayer . ’

His sword . It was precisely a fragment of the sword he had .

Why?

For what reason did the king of the dragons have a fragment of King Slayer’s sword?

King Slayer had disappeared after teaching Muyoung about grains .

Suddenly . As if he hadn’t existed from the start .

Muyoung also hadn’t really looked for him . However, he had found traces of King Slayer in an unexpected place .

Eventually, when Hansung took a step back, only Seraphina remained .

“What kind of job do you have for me, Seraphina-nim?”

Seraphina turned her head .

She looked at Pendragon, who was overflowing with confidence with his chest puffed up, and Muyoung who acted as if he wasn’t even there .

“For both of them, the test of the ‘First Knight’ .

“First Knight! Aah, you’re finally going to keep your mate . ”

The saintess gave a sigh of relief as if it were her own business .

They both knew each other very well since Seraphina had also been a candidate for saintesst .

And the truth that only Seraphina among the seven cult judges had no First Knight so far was quite a promising story .

The First Knight was also called a ‘mate’ because it was only possible to keep one .

There was a great deal of interest, even in Mulalan, as to who would be Seraphina’s mate .

The saintess approached .

“Nice to meet you, saintess of Earth . I am Pendragon . ”

Pendragon hit his chest with one hand .

The saintess smiled at his confidence .

“A pleasure . You’re quite manly . I can feel the earth welcoming you . ”

“Of course, since he is my student . ”

Once again, Hansung boasted about his student .

At this point, even if he was a dimwit it would have been okay .

The saintess sighed and nodded her head .

“Aah, a disciple of the dragon lord . You are truly a blessing for humanity . ”

“I’m flattered . Haha…”

Pendragon frowned slightly at Hansung .

He didn’t seem to be too pleased at the use of his teacher’s title .

Soon, the saintess reached out her right hand and touched Pendragon’s forehead .

Then, a light flowed out and his body’s impurities were washed . His mind was cleared and the light in his eyes became increasingly intense .

“May the grace of the Earth be with you . ”

“May the grace of the Earth be with you . ”

The saintess spoke, and Pendragon received it,

It was the celebration and blessing that the saintess gave to the candidate for First Knight .

Muyoung remained .

The saintess moved her feet and stood before him .

And the moment she looked into Muyoung’s eyes, the saintess lost her words .

An endless gaze .

She couldn’t distinguish between good and evil .

“Please tell me your name . ”

A long time passed before she barely managed to ask .

However, it was Seraphina that responded .

“Saintess, that person’s name is Gael . He cannot speak well, so please be understanding . ”

“I understand . ”

As if she understood, she raised her hand to Muyoung’s forehead .

“May the grace of the Earth be with you . ”

Muyoung too was penetrated by the clear light .

But no matter how much the energy came out, his eyes weren’t cleaned or filled with vigor .

They just stayed as they were .

There was already nothing that could be called an impurity in Muyoung’s body .

It was because he had experienced multiple special awakenings and had expelled all bodily waste .

Furthermore, thanks to ‘Great Harmony, every cell of his body moved to create balance .

Muyoung could release toxins from his body just by breathing alone .

The saintess hesitated for a moment then turned around .

“Well then… please follow me . There is a separate place where you can take the First Knight’s test . ”

The highly valued virtues for a First Knight were purity, strength and righteousness .

If there was shortage of any of these three things, the First Knight was disqualified .

Naturally, purity was the purity of divine power .

A nobler and more ceremonious form .

It had nothing to do with quantity . No matter how little there was, if the purity was high, it could overturn everything .

Of course, the first thing to check was precisely this ‘purity’ .

Although anyone who became a devotee had divine power, evil people never had high purity .

You had to truly place your faith to be baptized more greatly .

A transparent bead . A bead the size of an adult’s head was placed in the center of the room .

|It’s a bead that can measure the purity of divine power . If you put your divine power here, you can find out its purity . ”

Pendragon took the lead in the saintess’ explanation,

“I will try first . ”

Taking the initiative .

It was an attitude that did not fear a challenge .

The saintess glowed and looked at Pendragon .

If it was to that degree, even if he was to be compared to other First Knights he would not fall short .

He hadn’t taken the test yet, but the saintess saw that .

“Please place both hands on it . After that you will naturally be able to know what to do . ”

As the saintess explained again, Pendragon put both hands on top of the bead .

He had received the baptism of the mother of all, ‘Idea’ .

It wasn’t only the saintess that was curious about what degree of purity would appear; Seraphina was quite curious as well .

Swaaaaak!

Soon, the bead was submerged in a bright light .

Then, the light began to emerge from the bottom of the bead .

It climbed past the centre without stopping .

When the light stopped shortly after, everyone had no choice but to be greatly surprised .

“86%!”

The saintess was in awe .

Because his purity was almost at the standard of a saintess .

It was very rare for a man to have such a high purity .

Seraphina too looked at Pendragon as if seeing him anew .

Pendragon swiped his nose .

“I guess it came out alright . ”

“It’s not just okay . Even among saints you are worthy of being in the upper ranks…”

According to the purity of their divine power, women could become saintesses and men saints .

Of course, a high purity alone did not guarantee becoming a saintess or saint, but that much meant that he had outstanding potential .

Next, it was Muyoung’s turn .

Muyoung quietly approached the bead and placed his hands on it .

Then, his back tickled .

He forced his wings from popping out .

‘It must be a device that induces divine power . ’

The manifestation of divine power stimulated his wings .

Muyoung inwardly clicked his tongue .

After roughly figuring out the usage of the bead, Muyoung poured his divine power in .

Hwaaak!

It was a bright light that couldn’t even be compared to Pendragon’s .

Although it was a small amount, but it was enough to blind everyone .

At the same time, the bead was filled up .

It passed halfway in an instant, and passed 70%, 80%, and 90% .

Seeing that, everyone excluding Muyoung’s eyes glazed over in astonishment .

When the light finally stopped, the entire bead was brightly heating up .

“99 . 9…”

Unfortunately, it didn’t fill it completely .

However, no one was disappointed .

It was a phenomenal figure .

He had far exceeded the human limit of 89% .

Was this possible?

The saintess looked at Muyoung . Seraphina also turned her attention to him .

However, the reaction of the two gradually changed .

The saintess was unable to believe it, and Seraphina was able to feel a bit of relief .

‘He is an angel . ’

The purity didn’t lie .

No one but angels had a purity this high . If he was called a god it could be believed .

The doubts she had up until now waned all at once .

When the doubts vanished, a sense relief was formed . On the contrary, she felt sorry to Muyoung .

“My goodness…”

The saintess sputtered in continuous disbelief .

This hadn’t happened in decades .

She had never seen a human with this much purity before .

However, one had now appeared before her eyes .

“Is… Is the bead broken?”

It was a joke . The saintess too knew that the bead would never break .

All the priests, saintesses, saints and the sage king had poured their heart and souls into making it .

“Is that figure possible?”

Pedragon immediately frowned and asked .

He had been certain of his victory . 86% was easily saint level . Who would think he would lose while having that degree of purity?

But he had lost .

By a wide margin, at that!

He didn’t believe it . Even the dragon lord was silent .

“It can’t be . That’s the established theory . ”

The saintess told the truth .

89% had never been exceeded before . She had never seen it .

The bead measured purity, but over 90% had been a purely imaginary area .

As there was no one to compare him with, the comparison was meaningless .

It was probably natural for distrust to come in .

Pendragon glared at Muyoung once and said .

“Please prepare for the next test . ”

“The next test will take place when the moon comes out . First… I will guide you to the palace where you can rest . ”

The saintess put her hand on her forehead .

Her face began to glow as if it was on fire .

If this was true, it was a serious matter .

She had to report it to the sage king immediately .

The saintess looked at Seraphina .

Seraphina shook her head .

And she slightly changed the shape of her mouth .

‘Please don’t report for now,’ Seraphina was saying,

The accommodations assigned to Muyoung were quite large .

Muyoung was quietly sitting on the bed .

‘Is this Gabriel’s influence?”

He was going to adjust accordingly .

However, it seemed like purity wasn’t something that could be controlled .

Lord class, Archangel .

Furthermore, it was the power of the archangel Gabriel .

There was no way that the power to only pursue ‘justice’ could be hidden .

It was even strong enough to make Luciferre stay quiet .

Knock, knock!

Soon, someone knocked on the door .

From the sound of the footsteps, it was Seraphina .

“Enter . ”

Creeeaakkk!

The door opened, and as expected, it was Seraphina .

Seraphina was dressed lightly . In a white dress he had never seen before .

Plop!

Then she came straight toward Muyoung and knelt before him .

“Please forgive my foolishness, for not recognizing you as the great person you are . ”

“It’s good enough if you’ve realized it now . ”

“I will cut out these two eyes, which were full of doubt . If that will make you forgive me…”

Seraphina pulled out a short dagger .

When she tried to stab herself in the eyes without flinching, Muyoung kicked her in the stomach .

Urgh!

With a sound, Seraphina fell to her side .

“Gasp!”

The dagger fell to the floor .

Muyoung stood up and looked down at Seraphina .

“Do not thoughtlessly harm yourself . ”

“Then… What should I do about this distrust?”

“We have plenty of time . You can pay it off slowly . ”

Gabriel was also the angel of mercy .

Seraphina was also a talented person, capable of helping in many ways . He couldn’t let her die like this .

He shouldn’t let her thoughts run wild here . Muyoung immediately changed the subject .

“In order to keep the Demon Gods in check, I need the God-Killing Spear . You know this as well . ”

“…Yes, the God-Killing Spear is on ‘Suicide Hill’ . Currently, numerous priests and paladins are on their way there . ”

Seraphina told the truth as it was .

She did not seem to be hiding more .

However, Suicide Hill?

The moment he heard the name, Muyoung felt as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer .

‘The place where Diabolos’ Altar is . ’

He hadn’t thought that perhaps the God-Killing Spear would be there!

That wasn’t all .

Snow .

That was also the place where she called Muyoung .
