To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 468

Episode 468 The first demon lord, Beriel (1)

Recruitment of soldiers has begun in the Holy Kingdom.

Soldiers and paladins with deep faith voluntarily stood up at the word that they were heading to Celia Kingdom to protest against the saint’s title.

“How dare you honor a saint? It’s ridiculous.”

“I intend to join this trip to Celia.”

“Why not? The Holy Knights were also very angry. I heard that one knight corps of Paladins has already volunteered.”

“You mean that much support? Maybe this will push me away.”

“Do you know that soldiers like us applied one by one? After removing the Paladins, Priests, and Priests, the number of soldiers I can take will be counted on one hand.”

“I really wanted to go this time, but it will be a pity.”

Seongguk had to sweat hard to find the number of soldiers as even one soldier sent a huge volunteer letter saying that it was a sin not to participate in the trip to Silia.

But that would be proof that the Holy Kingdom had not yet rotted away.

Their blind faith is their greatest weapon.

Their spirit, which calls for martyrdom and is not even afraid of death, makes even the Lessian Empire feel uncomfortable.

Now, its true value was clearly being displayed.

After one day of receiving resources, a staggering number of 10,000 soldiers volunteered.

However, only about 2,000 people could go to Celia.

It is impossible to fill the number of soldiers with mere soldiers in a situation where you have to show off your power, unless you know what else to do.

Inevitably, the pope and the nobles decided to take the high-ranking personnel first.

In this way, the selection of high-ranking personnel was mainly reached, and the number of paladins reached tens of thousands and three hundred.

Priests and priests voluntarily put behind prayer meetings and trainings and reach 1,000 people.

While contemplating how to fill the remaining 700 people, he recruited from the soldiers because if high-ranking personnel emptied the kingdom at once, they would not be able to prepare for external raids.

After selecting all 2,000 people, the Seongguk immediately began preparing to send a contingent called the ‘Emissary’ to Celia.

I got a luxurious carriage and had it pulled with famous horses that would make me admire just by looking at it.

After preparing plenty of food and carrying barrels of oil to light a fire after dark, preparations were almost complete.

Since they planned to leave in the evening and arrive in the morning, they intended to start the carriage as soon as preparations were completed.

In the early evening, when the lights were lit, beautiful scarlet lights were illuminated like a night view.

“I will definitely rebuke Celia for her atrocities.”

“Please, please do my share.”

“Where are you going to do your part? The castle will not be solved unless everyone in the castle country gets their share.”

“ha ha ha. That color is still there. Anyway, have a good trip.”

The soldiers each bid farewell to the short journey and climbed into the wagon.

Since each and every carriage was luxurious, it was a very comfortable journey for priests and priests.

The commander of the Holy Knights, who was checking the number of people, counted the wagons and nodded.

“Let it go.”

Let’s say a word to the coachman, and the horse starts immediately with the sound of ‘Irya’.

Since it was a wagon with considerable attention to the wheels, the shaking and noise were much smaller than those of other wagons.

The coachman also seems to have been quite comfortable driving the wagon, so the tension on his face disappeared.

That’s when everyone lost their nerves.

Koo Goo Goong—!

The world turned upside down.

“Lee Jwa-sama has finished all preparations.”

At the words of a man, the woman shifted her gaze to him.

“It’s pretty fast.”

“yes. Unexpectedly, the holy women’s divine power was sufficient. I thought it would take longer, but the schedule has actually sped up.”

The woman sitting on the throne slowly closed her eyes.

“Then, all we need now is… blood.”

“…yes.”

As the man spoke calmly, a faint smile formed on Lee Jwa’s lips.

“Why is the man so gloomy? don’t be sad I’m just being reborn with a new look, so if you want, we can meet again.”

Knowing the meaning of the word meet again, the man lowered his head.

“Didn’t you say you would start with me? Right now I have no power. All you can do is sit on your throne and get bored every day. Wouldn’t it be more meaningful than repeating such boring daily life?”

“Lee Jwa-nim…”

“Samyang, you are no longer the Lee Jwa. don’t call me that My name is Beriel. It is the name that will become the first demon king of this world.”

Devil.

It was not the appearance of the demon king that she had thought of, but she would surely become the demon king.

A man called Musk looked up at her.

“Please become a huge demon king.”

Ijwa Beriel laughed.

“Sounds natural. I will become a demon king so gigantic as to devour this world.”

“…”

“Thank you so far. I will not forget your heart that saved and helped me when I was dying.”

Talk and take a step.

the throne on which she sat.

It was an altar.

“Become the Demon King.”

one step.

Her mana was dissipated.

No, there is no more mana left.

Only the white divine power fluttered and wrapped around Beriel’s body.

“To rule the world.”

two steps.

Divine power tore her skin.

The bright red blood met with divine power and turned red.

“I will put all the pain in the world inside me.”

Offer sacrifices at the altar.

Through this process, a demon king will be born in the world.

The scent of her blood lingered in the air.

The divine power mixed with blood was like red smoke.

As the altar is slowly destroyed, the Great War is devastated.

her body split

When the red haze hits the ceiling.

Koo Goo Goong—!

With a roar, the last of her voices dissipated.

‘Everything in the world will become meaningless within me.’

* * *

Before I knew it, the house was being cleaned up.

Ray didn’t hesitate and headed straight to the prison.

Since the basement was not properly organized yet, the confinement prison was truly a source of filth.

Remnants of the Orcs’ life remained intact, and because they rubbed their bodies in mud instead of taking a bath, smelly dirt was everywhere.

Having been in this environment for more than half a day, their mental fatigue was considerable.

Tong-Tong—

“How are you?”

The knights gnashed their teeth as I greeted them by hitting the iron bars a couple of times.

But he never opened his mouth.

They didn’t say anything no matter what.

“You are as comfortable as you are here. Then, if you feel like you can’t stand it, tell me anytime.”

He speaks and pulls out a tea tool in front of his eyes.

Drinking tea in such an environment was terrible even for Ray, but there was nothing better to stimulate them.

When served with well-baked bread and black tea, the savory aroma penetrated the fishy smell of mud and filled the hungry stomachs of the knights.

“….”

“….”

Even though he hasn’t said anything yet, you can tell by looking at his expression.

They haven’t eaten anything since being imprisoned in Celia’s prison.

He said he was holding on with the power of mana, but since he hadn’t eaten for over two weeks, it must have been difficult.

After looking around for a moment, Ray memorized the starting language.

“Clean.”

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The underground prison, which was like a cage for animals, was filled with his mana.

The dirty grime gradually turned to powder and flew away, and the mud pile disappeared.

Even the unpleasant smell disappeared, and the prison became quite a place to stay.

However, the knights looked at him curiously.

why?

What did you mean by cleaning the prison?

Ray didn’t stop there.

He brought a bag he had placed at the entrance of the prison and handed it to the knights one by one.

“Eat.”

What he gave was bread.

It is not old and deteriorated bread, but it is a good quality bread that still retains warmth.

As if it wasn’t bothersome, I handed over a bag of bread to each bar, handed it over, and soon started drinking black tea.

Did the tea tool exist for that?

The mild scent of black tea, which I couldn’t even remember when I had smelled it, even emanated from the knights.

Although there is no teacup, Ray prepared a large canteen instead.

He carefully transfers the freshly brewed black tea into a canteen and hands it to the knights.

Unlike the other knights who received without saying anything, one knight struck Ray’s hand when he went to the second barricade.

Percussion—!

The black tea in the canteen was spilled on the floor.

“Don’t be hypocritical! What do you think will change this!”

Ray looked at him once, but didn’t say anything.

I take a white cloth from the sack and wipe the floor.

Then, this time, the driver shouted to the people around him.

“You are you too! Why do you eat the bread the enemy gave you without questioning it!”

“….”

“….”

The knights who were just eating bread quietly put the bread down.

Ray is silent even after seeing such articles.

Instead, they quietly placed sacks of bread in front of the bars and placed canteens full of black tea at each bar.

Looking at the cleaner prison, he said before leaving.

“Food is three times a day. It doesn’t matter what you think, but you live by eating.”

With only one word left, Ray left the prison.

* * *

He appeared with food exactly three times a day, as he told the knights.

They did not eat even though their diet was considered nutritionally.

No, there were those who ate one or two people, but even that was only eaten when life was in danger, not every meal.

Despite being exhausted from starvation, the knights endured with mental strength.

“In a few days you will be exhausted and fall off.”

“It is clear that they are trying to appease us. Do not be fooled.”

A few days to hold on to that thought.

Even now, more than a week later, he still struggled in the sack and came to the prison.

As usual, the sacks are unpacked and bread is distributed.

There was hot soup in the canteen.

“…”

The knights also did not touch or even glance at the battery.

After serving food, Ray looked around.

The bags that were handed out in the morning are still there.

“Because you have to eat to live.”

He was about to say something, but soon turned around and left the prison.

Only after he had completely disappeared did the knights set their eyes on the sack.

“It lasts a little bit. It would just be annoying.”

“We never had an attendant to hand out food to us.”

“It’s something I don’t know yet. You’ll find out when you see it.”

There was one thing they overlooked.

Although they could survive with mana, they could not change their nutritional status.

It’s been over two weeks since I haven’t been able to eat the right food.

In addition, there was no way that the nutrition was evenly equipped because they ate enough to avoid starvation in situations where they could not stand it.

Another day passed without knowing in a dream how the situation would develop in the future.
