Discord
The underground of the church was no longer a space that could simply be called a basement.
There was a Gate area where Gates were periodically generated, allowing believers to freely conquer them.
There were training spaces and personal spaces for the apostles’ training.
Ziiing.
Gluttony’s research lab, Rusty’s sealed area.
Besides those, there were countless other spaces that Go Johan had received reports about but couldn’t remember the purpose of.
And even the first-created Warp Gate.
That place looked like a kind of otherworld that could no longer be explained by the term “underground.”
Zing.
This thing that looked like an elevator was linked with Yoon Seung-Ah’s magic.
Unauthorized individuals couldn’t go to any floor, and it was a device that allowed movement to open areas through engravings carved on each believer.
Clunk.
It was a magical device that could be called the magical essence of Yoon Seung-Ah and Gluttony.
Ziiing.
Finally, at the destination, the incredibly ornate elevator doors opened.
Naturally, all areas were open to Go Johan.
“……”
When he had brought Orichalcon to Gluttony, Yoon Seung-Ah had come to him and said.
‘There’s something I need to tell you.’
Go Johan looked ahead.
The area where Go Johan now stood was a kind of prison.
Greed, Yoon Seung-Ah, and even Gluttony.
This area created by combining all their abilities was a place where even archdemons could be imprisoned.
Magic circles were drawn throughout the entire space.
Woong.
Walking a little further, a space filled with an unfathomable void appeared below.
Mana was disrupted, making it impossible to use skills.
Woooong!
If one tried to jump across with their body, prepared traps would turn the intruder to dust.
With a resonant sound, a silver disc appeared before Go Johan.
Tap.
When he stepped onto it, the silver disc automatically began to move.
Click, click. Thud. Ziiing.
Light was cast according to Go Johan’s movements.
The place arrived at through several such procedures.
Thud! Kuuuuu!
The final iron door began to open violently.
This was the church’s underground prison.
“Have you arrived?”
Yoon Seung-Ah, who had been waiting in advance, greeted Go Johan.
An utterly dark space.
Whoosh.
Flames were shooting up here and there.
In that place where even fire usually seemed unlit, bright light gathered as Go Johan appeared.
“Ugh…!”
Sounds like groaning could be heard.
They soon discovered Go Johan.
Flinch.
Their bodies trembled.
“Huh, huh… huhuk.”
As if terrified, they lowered their bodies and bowed their heads.
Some even clutched their hearts and collapsed as if they had seen something they dared not look at.
Yoon Seung-Ah, who had come to find him, had said.
‘One of the Dvergr wants to meet the Captain.’
This place was a workshop.
‘After checking… I think it would be worth meeting.’
It was a prison where the Dvergr were confined.
More than ten Dvergr trembled with their bodies lowered to the floor.
“Ah, ahhh….”
As if facing death, they couldn’t even speak from fear.
“P-please spare us…!”
Should this be called typical of demons?
“We, we did everything… as ordered!”
Those things begging for their lives.
In exchange for prolonging their lives, these were the craftsmen who created blessed items.
Educated by Yoon Seung-Ah and Lee Ha-Yeon, these things showed none of the ferocity that could be found in demons.
But even so.
“All of them….”
Go Johan said as he walked forward.
“I want to kill them all.”
Gasp!

The aura emitted by the demons made Go Johan frown.
“……”
In fact, Go Johan had opposed the opinions of Yoon Seung-Ah and Greed, who wanted to use them.
‘They are evil breeds.’
For Go Johan, demons were all evil breeds that must be annihilated.
There was no reason to leave a cancer in the body just because it had research value.
It should simply be cut out and burned.
Moreover.
Step.
What Go Johan hated even more were things like the Dvergr.
Tremble.
The goddess’s creatures, born with grace, yet fallen to corruption by the temptation of evil breeds.
“P-please spare…”
Those things that had been trembling as if suffocated by Go Johan’s presence.
“Haak! Huh, huhuk!”
Finally began to breathe out.
If not for Greed’s words, he wouldn’t have kept them alive.
‘Death is too simple. They’ll disappear anyway.’
‘I’m confident I can give them greater fear and pain than that.’
‘We will…’
It was true.
‘Become their demons.’
Whatever Yoon Seung-Ah and Greed had done, the evil breeds were only trembling in terror.
“Whew.”
“Have you calmed down a bit?”
Yoon Seung-Ah approached and said.
“I still want to kill them.”
Gasp.
“But I suppose I can leave them be. However, remember this.”
“……”
“You must not show any mercy to those things. If there’s even a gap, they’ll do anything.”
“I’ll make sure not to cause you worry.”
At Yoon Seung-Ah’s words, Go Johan nodded.
“The one who wanted to see me?”
“I’ve isolated him separately.”
There was another prison ahead.
“Why?”
“You’ll understand when you see.”
Go Johan nodded and moved further forward.
When Yoon Seung-Ah extended her hand and dispelled several spells, the door began to open.
Swoosh.
An acrid smell and an aura that made one frown.
And the space revealed was worthy of being called hell.
In the center, when a Dvergr pulling at his own beard was visible.
“……”
Go Johan’s sunken eyes regained their light.
Dash.
Without anyone stopping him, he leaped forward.
Thud!
Then immediately grabbed the neck of the Dvergr there and lifted him up.
Crack!
Clear marks began to appear on the Dvergr’s neck in the shape of Go Johan’s fingers.
“Hehe, huh… huhuh.”
The Dvergr making strange laughter and screaming simultaneously.
When the Dvergr’s characteristic black skin and blood-red eyes looked at Go Johan.
“Huh, huiiik!”
The one who had been laughing madly even facing death began to convulse as if seeing a ghost.
While being lifted, he flailed his limbs and poured out tears and snot.
“Ahhk! Ahhhhk!”
It wasn’t begging to be spared.
He was desperately trying to escape from Go Johan’s hands.
At that completely insane appearance.
Thud.
Go Johan released his neck.
The Dvergr who fell to the floor crawled and threw himself into a pit of fire.
Whoosh!
The blazing flames tried to burn his entire body, but only gave pain.
“No… no!”
They couldn’t grant death.
The creature screamed.
“Wh-why are you!”
Yoon Seung-Ah’s words that he was worth meeting were correct.
“That’s what I should be saying.”
Go Johan said as he approached the creature through the flickering flames.
“Black Beard of the Black Steel Tribe.”
He was acquainted with this creature.

There was a reason Go Johan despised beings like the Dvergr more than demons.
Travania, torn apart by demonic schemes, yet the empire rose again and an alliance was formed.
The great anti-demon alliance, crossing racial and national boundaries, slowly reclaimed the continent’s territory and even gained the upper hand in the war against demons.
Of course, behind this was Go Johan single-handedly holding back archdemons and higher demons, but that wasn’t the important part.
Step.
Traitors.
The problem was the corrupted trash.
“Black Beard of the Black Steel Tribe.”
One reason they could gain the upper hand in the war was the divine artifacts created by the dwarfs.
Similar to blessed items, they were weapons effective against demons.
“Huh, huiiik!”
Among them, corrupted dwarfs appeared and became a problem.
What they thought were divine artifacts became bombs that massacred allies on important battlefields.
Iron Hammer, called the Great King of all dwarfs who had been more enthusiastic about demon extermination than anyone, was forcibly corrupted by someone.
What followed was hell.
Divine artifacts could neither be repaired nor reproduced.
The weapons already distributed were cursed by demons.
“Ahhhhhhk!”
They became nothing but bombs.
The number of alliance forces that died then was close to a million.
“Black Beard.”
At the center.
“P-please spare… no… kill me…!”
That Black Beard was at the center was a fact revealed through later investigation.
Corrupting Iron Hammer, turning divine artifacts into bombs.
“Demon…! You’re a demon!”
All of it had Black Beard at the center.
Crack.
Go Johan lifted Black Beard again.
Black Beard, unable to regain his senses.
Crack!
He tore off his arm.
“Ahhhhhhk!”
At the clear pain, his eyes seemed to return.
“Don’t you like that beard?”
Go Johan asked, and Black Beard’s eyes filled with terror.
Crack!
He tore it off.
“Kuahhhhhhk!”
A scream of pain was heard.
“Kn-Knight of Fear….”
Black Beard, whose madness seemed to have subsided, looked at Go Johan and said.
“Kn-Knight of Death….”
“I am the goddess’s knight.”
“No!”
Black Beard screamed.
“You are…!”
Bang!
Go Johan threw Black Beard.
“P-please kill me! Please!”
“Yes, I’ll kill you if you want. Is that why you wanted to see me?”
“No, no!”
Black Beard, who had regained his senses, screamed.
“Iron Hammer!”
Flinch.
Go Johan stopped.
“Iron Hammer is! He’s alive!”
“…What?”
“Varatkgoen!”
Black Beard screamed in incomprehensible dwarvish.
“Th-that one holds the souls of the dwarfs! We were also being used!”
“……”
“If you just kill that archdemon! The remaining dwarfs! You can find the dwarfs!”
Go Johan stood before Black Beard, looking down at him.
“…So please!”
Black Beard wailed.
“Kill me!”
Hueeee!
Black Beard’s crying burst out.
“There’s a way! A way to open a gate connected to Varatkgoen!”
