Please Stop The Pope-Chapter 45
Episode 45
3.
Luna Reventon.
Luna was the leader of the Knights of Palma, the third Holy Knights of our church, and one of the most powerful figures representing the Holy See.
Just as Leo had the nickname “Mad Dog of the Holy See,” Luna also had a nickname.
A bloody saint.
I think it would have been a pretty fitting nickname for her, who wielded a mace on the front lines of the battlefield while covered in the blood of her enemies.
Luna was good at using all weapons, but she especially liked the mace. So she asked why.
‘It tastes like it will crush your head. I think your Holiness will understand my feelings once you taste it. By the way, are you free this evening? If you don’t mind, have a drink with me in front of the Vatican… … .'
… … He answered.
Regardless of her combat power, she was a person with considerable influence within the church.
Her legitimacy as a saint and her appearance that would make anyone look at her at least once.
Add to that her easy-going personality, and there were many people, regardless of gender, who admired her.
To borrow Earth's expression, it was like an idol.
At a time like this when we need to expand our religious affiliation, if a talented person like Luna were to come over, we would welcome it with open arms.
But last time, Leo was like that, and this time, Luna was like that too. Why did they start a fight as soon as they got through the gate?
Of course, in both cases, the opponent attacked first, but with Leon or Luna's skills, they would have been able to evade it with enough skill.
I was so upset that I asked Leo why on the way to the scene.
Then Leo answered as if it were very obvious.
“Lord Reventon and I simply did as we were taught.”
“What kind of bastard taught a priest like that?”
Leo didn't respond to my question and just stared at me.
… … I go?
anyway.
So we were able to arrive at the scene of Wolmido Gate in Incheon 20 minutes after the incident occurred, and the situation at the scene was more serious than I thought.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Of course, there was a loud noise like a bomb exploding.
“Take proper control of reporters!”
“The gate suppression operation is currently underway here! “ No one except unauthorized personnel can enter!”
“Is it true that there is a battle against the Remen Church?”
“Please make the facts clear!”
There was a lot of noise at the entrance of the temporary barrier leading to the gate, as many reporters crowded into it.
Moreover, judging from the fact that vehicles carrying Hive Guild players kept coming from afar, it seemed like the Hive Guild had no intention of backing down easily.
“It looks like they are ready to go to war with our church.”
“It’s a matter of pride.”
Hive Guild is the second largest guild in Korea.
A huge guild in name and reality, with as many as four S-class hunters and numerous conglomerate companies as sponsors.
Such a guild suffered a one-sided humiliation on live streaming, and their pride was hurt.
It's even weirder that your eyes can't move.
In this situation, if I confidently walk through that entrance, real bloodshed may occur.
If Luna hadn't brought up the story about the Remen Church, we wouldn't have come to this situation, but what can we do? She's already spilled water.
For now, the priority was to prevent Luna from causing a bigger accident.
If the Hive Guild deploys additional troops and engages in battle with them, it will be a real catastrophe.
“The priority is to enter the barrier and meet Luna.”
“Lord Reventon’s personality means he won’t back down. “ But the entrance to the barrier is blocked like that. How are you trying to get in?”
“How long?”
It's a joke!
[Passive skill Divine Protection Lv. The magic interference is nullified by Max>.] [Serious shock accumulates in the created magic barrier! The durability of the barrier has been significantly lowered.]
Of course, you just break through the barrier.
Leo looked at me like that and sighed quietly, then followed me into the inside of the barrier.
“There is a word called naeronambul among the four idioms.”
“What is that?”
“… … It's just that it is. “Please go.”
There are no monsters that can escape from the barrier anyway.
Not only did Luna and the players from the Hive Guild clean up the gate, but the gate itself had already disappeared.
In a situation like this, what's the big deal about the durability of the barrier?
“It’s right in front.”
After entering the barrier, we soon found Luna.
A pure white paladin standing with his back to the sea.
Her red hair blew beautifully in the sea breeze, and the sunlight illuminated her white skin and armor.
If you look at Luna's visual alone, I think it's a really beautiful scene.
"ha."
That is, except for the hunters belonging to the Hive Guild scattered on the floor.
I placed my hand on my forehead as I looked at the cruel scene unfolding before my eyes.
Approximately 40 players were lying ungainly here and there.
Still, the good thing is.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
One hunter from the Hive Guild was still holding out.
In other words, his pride was not broken to the last degree.
At first glance, it seemed like he was one of the four S-class hunters owned by the Hive Guild.
Of course, his condition didn't look very good.
“It seems that Lord Reventon is testing his opponent on purpose.”
"It's Leo."
“Yes, Your Holiness.”
“Usually, when you see something like that, you say that you are making fun of the other person.”
At first glance, it looks like they are exchanging attacks and defenses in a friendly tone, but in reality, that was not the case at all.
The Hive Guild's S-class hunters were not able to counterattack even once.
He was just busy following Luna's movements.
The fact that the game could not be decided even though there were gaps everywhere that could decide the game could only be seen as Luna deliberately playing with her opponent.
But that was only for a moment.
"His Holiness!"
When Luna spots me, she smiles brightly and immediately gains momentum.
The intention is to decide the game once and for all.
As soon as I witnessed the scene, I immediately got in between the two.
Kuuuuuung-!
Then, he threw away Luna's mace and the man's sword at the same time and spoke softly.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding, so let’s leave it here.”
They say you can't pick up spilled water, but shouldn't you at least stop it from flowing further?
4.
Life doesn't always go as planned.
But sometimes, things that don't go as planned are actually better.
“Team leader Junwoo Oh. What do you mean now?”

“I am saying that we are also responsible. “ Even though we warned them several times, we were the ones who attacked first.”
Just like now.
I couldn't hide my bewilderment at the strange situation unfolding before my eyes.
When I entered this barrier to pick up Luna, I was prepared to collide head-on with the Hive Guild.
This is because, from my perspective, the situation was enough to cause misunderstanding on the other side.
But what happened next took a turn I didn't expect.
As soon as I stopped the battle, the Hive Guild's troops waiting behind arrived on the scene.
Up until then, I had naturally expected that there would be a full-scale protest on the other side, but my expectations were spectacularly wrong.
“Team leader Junwoo Oh!”
“Even if you say that, it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Rather, I think this is a situation where we need to apologize first.”
Oh Jun-woo, an S-class hunter from the Hive Guild who was fighting Luna just a moment ago, suddenly began actively defending us.
Moreover, it wasn't like he was recklessly defending us.
“Team leader, in accordance with the Special Abilities Act, you defined those who came out of the gate as enemies and began legal subjugation. But why do you keep insisting that we are responsible?”
"The entity that came out of the gate revealed itself to have no intention of fighting. And in Korean that we can understand. Despite the fact that there was ample room for dialogue, it was our side that gave the order to battle.
He was saying the lines I had prepared with his own mouth.
I don't understand it.
And I wasn't the only one who couldn't understand him.
"No, really, why are you doing this, oh team leader! Yes? Your men were crushed. No matter how much you say that you care about him, you can't escape discipline if you do this."
"I will take the discipline sweetly. But I can't stand by and let him get hurt."
Even the head of the Hive Guild, who arrived with reinforcements, begins to raise his voice in frustration.
As I watched the two of them argue, I asked Luna softly.
"It's Luna. Didn't you brainwash that person named Oh Jun-woo?"
"Hey, do I have that ability? And if I had the ability to brainwash, I would have brainwashed His Holiness first. Whoops."
"Then why the hell is he doing that?"
"I don't know. If His Holiness really wants to know, can I ask him after he has laid it all down? Just say the word."
“…… You're just helping to stay still. Just shut up."
Luna shrugged and then turned to look at Leo, who was standing behind me.
Then he slapped Leo on the back coolly.
"Leo! How are you? Didn't you miss her?"
“…… Lord Leventon, if you do this here......."
"You say you're going to have the joy of reuniting your siblings, but what do you think?"
Of course, the two of them are not siblings.
However, "since both the saint and the saint are beings of Limen's origin, aren't they siblings?" That was Luna's logic.
…… Well, it was often like that in Eden, so don't worry about it. The important thing right now is to get out of here.
I sighed as I looked at the two of them, then looked back forward.
Before I knew it, the war of words between the Hive Guild had come to an end.
The latecomer was blushing and keeping his mouth shut, and Hunter Oh Jun-woo was also looking in our direction with a blushing expression.
Luna, to be exact.
It wasn't until I saw the look on his face that I knew exactly what was going on.
"The members of the Remen Church may return."
A reddened face.
A gaze that doesn't leave Luna.
And the constant trembling of his voice.
All of that pointed to just one thing.
"Me...... Did you say Luna Levinton?"
"Uh, that's right."
"Thanks to Luna Leventon, I had a great realization."
I fell in love with Luna, a hunter named Oh Jun-woo.
It's also very well done.
Luna replied with a big smile at Oh Junwoo's words.
"You were better than I thought, weren't you? Your swordsmanship will be very fine if you fix a few bad habits."
"Is that so?"
"Of course. I'm not going to lie about this."
Luna's words made Wu Junwoo hesitate for a moment, then asked in a trembling voice.
"May I come to you later and ask for further instruction?"
"If the Holy Father allows it, it won't be difficult, will it?"
Luna winked at me slightly, saying so.
Sometimes, Luna takes advantage of the fact that she's pretty, right?
It's like a monster.
I shrugged my shoulders, then looked at him.
"When you have time, stop by the temple. I think you can come and study the art of swordsmanship with our Lord Leventon, and have a good talk with him."
It was safe to say that it was a real cult, but it didn't seem to matter to a man in love.
In response to my answer, Hunter bowed respectfully and replied with a lot of fighting.
"Thank you for your consideration!"
"Oh, I'm grateful."
It solved my headache, and of course I'm more grateful.
Maybe they might be able to pull it towards us.
In fact, there have been a few instances of this in Eden.
"Then we'll just trust Hunter Oh Jun-woo and go home."
"Yes!"
I didn't know that until then.
The ramifications of that happen.
