The Saint Was the Devil’s Henchman

90 episodes

Such an overbearing voice for me to live.

The man was restless with numbness in his stomach.

It must have been an assassin sent by a dark follower.

“Oh, no. I was just surprised because I never dreamed of anyone coming this night!”

“They might be cracking down on the word so that they don’t leak, but you really didn’t know? He’s a carefree guy.”

At those words, the man jumped up as the thief numbed his feet.

‘You came here knowing that I made a deal with the regent!’

The man sat down in front of the door and begged.

The reason I didn’t open the door was because I was afraid that the assassin wouldn’t listen to my excuses and would strike my head right away.

“Help me! Me, I tried to keep my mouth shut. However, since other nobles have already confessed, I couldn’t help but deny it. I’m not the only one who suggested a deal with the regent!”

“What are you talking about?”

The assassin on the other side of the door asked, seemingly absurd.

“Hey, it’s all because of that damn priest. One of my necks is not worth it. But, wouldn’t it be the only way to get rid of that priest? He’ll definitely touch us again. So please delay the execution a little so that we can find out about the priest before he kills him!”

“You want me to delay the execution?”

“Since the regent has promised a weak disposition, he will be able to retain his title and property to some extent. Based on that, let’s learn as much as possible about the priest. They have a reputation for good deeds, but in the first place, such bastards are behind their backs. If you use that to beat that priest out of the church, you’ll lose your stomach, so what can you do?”

“… … .”

But no answer came from outside the door.

Somehow, the back of my neck became cold.

Have you ever said anything that offended you?

I couldn’t even remember what I said because I was so nervous.

Fortunately, that concern seems to have been in vain.

The voice came again.

“Magic?”

The assassin’s question came out of nowhere.

“yes? My magic?”

“… … .”

“I’m sorry for asking a cheeky question! Since I mainly dealt with information, the magic power I was given was weak. It might be difficult if the priest finds out… … .”

The man was in a cold sweat.

‘Is the rumor true?’

I’ve heard that the useless Dark Follower’s magic power is used as a hand to throw away.

The man was afraid that it might happen.

“I really am. My magic is really low. You may want to check it out.”

“That’s it.”

Fortunately, the cool voice returned.

‘Now I live!’

The man was relieved for a while.

Kwajik!

The ornate wooden door broke and Ethan appeared.

The man’s eyes widened when he saw Ethan’s face.

“… you, you!”

“Quiet. Your voice is too loud.”

“Uh-huh!”

At the same time as his neck was strangled, the man lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, some time ago.

Ethan, who had infiltrated the private palace, was faced with a strange situation.

“Help me! Me, I tried to keep my mouth shut. However, since other nobles have already confessed, I couldn’t help but deny it. I’m not the only one who suggested a deal with the regent!”

The noble man behind the door suddenly started begging.

Ethan was taken aback by his reaction.

“What are you talking about?”

“Hey, it’s all because of that damn priest.”

But the more he listened, the more Ethan felt strangely worse.

“You are making a reputation for good deeds, but that’s the way they are. If you use that to beat that priest out of the church, you’ll lose your stomach, so what can you do?”

“… … .”

Ethan finally realized that this noble man had mistaken him for an assassin sent by a dark follower.

– Please delay the execution a little!

Ethan muttered to himself.

‘Why did you say something like that? Am I so mistaken because I live?’

In fact, the reason Ethan came to the detached palace was because he needed a sacrifice to replace Cynthia’s rampant magic.

It would be better to recycle a dark follower’s napalm than someone who had nothing to do with it.

So, it was this guy who got caught while walking around the detached palace with such a force to live.

‘I heard gossip in front of you, but it’s ok to leave it alive.’

rather good

Ethan intended to sacrifice this man.

“Magic?”

The reason I asked that was because the less the amount of magic power, the more the running magic power could be received.

But he kept emphasizing that my magical powers were weak.

“I really am. My magic is really low. You may want to check it out.”

“That’s it.”

Ethan replied bluntly.

and.

Kwajik!

He smashed the door without hesitation and went inside.

The noble man who saw Ethan’s face shouted in astonishment.

“… you, you!”

Ethan grabbed the man’s neck and muttered.

“Quiet. Your voice is too loud.”

“Uh-huh!”

Ethan stunned the man and then pushed him back into his shadow.

It was the ‘Shadow Realm’, one of the dark magic.

Ethan soon left there and headed for the princess’s private palace.

* * *

“Ugh… … .”

Cynthia was trapped in deep darkness.

His body was engulfed in burning pain, and he felt the fear of death.

A warm breeze surrounded her.

However, Cynthia could not get close to that energy.

For some reason, I felt like I couldn’t approach that energy.

‘It’s so warm, why does it feel so scary?’

With reason clouded by pain, he could not figure out the reason.

But Cynthia’s instinct was to know that the divine power would harm her.

‘I want to touch it.’

Cynthia mustered up her courage and reached out to where she felt the energy.

Then I felt the soft fur of the beast.

‘puppy? Or a cat?’

Cynthia had never come into contact with animals or humans in her life.

Because of this, I was drawn to the softness I felt for the first time in my life, and I couldn’t let go of that energy.

‘It’s warm… … .’

Cynthia felt so much pain and warmth at the same time and was trapped in the dark.

That was then.

Someone grabbed Cynthia’s hand as she was touching her soft fur.

It was clearly a human touch.

‘… … ?’

Cynthia raised her head in surprise.

Then a strange thing happened.

The ferocious energy that had been scratching my body as if it was going to cut through my body began to flow to another place.

As time passed, Cynthia’s pain diminished.

“… … .”

At that moment, Cynthia comfortably closed her eyes.

The mind, which had been vaguely awake with pain, had sank into the depths.

As she fell into the infinitely deep waters, Cynthia held her hand tightly.

As if I was afraid that if I let go of that hand, the pain would start again.

The next day, the princess’s bedroom.

Crung!

Fenrir snorted as if he didn’t like Ethan.

Ethan looked down at Fenrir and raised his eyebrows.

‘What do you mean?’

Fenrir furiously wrinkled the bridge of his nose.

rumble.

Then the servants who were combing Fenrir’s hair were startled.

“Shin-soo, do you have any pain in the tangled hair?”

“Are there any uncomfortable places?”

The servants were anxious because they could not please Fenrir.

Fenrir had grown bigger than before.

I couldn’t help but be afraid to growl in the form of a wolf instead of a puppy.

‘It’s a bit smaller than the original size, though.’

Ethan clicked his tongue when he saw the servants looking at Fenrir.

Fenrir also noticed the feelings of such servants.

So he put aside his complaints about Ethan for a while and put his face on his forelegs.

It meant I wasn’t mad at you.

‘I’d rather be angry with me.’

Ethan looked at Fenrir and smiled inwardly.

This was the reason Fenrir didn’t like Ethan now.

“Still, I’m glad Shinsu is here. Priest Ethan anticipates this and puts Shinsu-nim here.”

Just then, Ben approached Ethan and said,

Ben’s eyes turned to Cynthia on the bed.

Unlike yesterday, Cynthia was asleep with a calm face.

Yes.

Everyone here now knew that Fenrir had healed Cynthia.

When Cynthia was in an emergency, Fenrir was there all day, so it was natural to think so.

And Ethan just watched as all the balls went to Fenrir.

For Fenrir, the situation was terrifying.

‘Even if it is a beast, is it a divine beast?’

Fenrir was far more proud than Ethan had expected.

He seemed to think it was unfair to be paid for a good deed he did not do.

Among human beings, there were overflowing and overflowing with people stealing Suha’s balls as their own.

But rather, the beast listened more to keep the way.

Fenrir seemed to think it was more to his honor to try to hide the lie.

However, it was dangerous for Ethan to reveal the way he had stopped the magic runaway.

‘I’d rather pass it on to this motherf*cker.’

It was said that there are times when dog poop is also used for medicine, and that was exactly the situation.

Ethan grinned and patted Fenrir’s head roughly.

“It wasn’t what I expected, but I’m glad Fenrir was helpful.”

Fenrir then quickly turned his head to avoid Ethan’s hand.

That was then.

Honey.

Ethan’s shadow moved like a rock.

“… … !”

Fortunately, no one noticed that Ethan’s shadow was strange.

Even Fenrir.

Only Ethan narrowed his brow and pressed the shadow gently with his foot.

‘Is it because there is a corpse with a large amount of magical power at once?’

Ethan sent the running magic power from Cynthia to the noble man who had been kidnapped from the private palace.

‘Sacrifice’ meant exactly that.

After that, the noble man died.

It was only natural that he had magical powers beyond his limits.

And Ethan put the nobleman’s corpse into his shadow.

However, the magical energy overflowing from the corpse was disturbing Ethan’s shadow realm.

Fortunately, Ethan had activated the shadow realm magic with divine magic.

Therefore, the risk of being caught is very small.

Instead, Ethan struggled for other reasons.

His gaze turned to Cynthia, who was lying on the bed.

‘The fact that the power surge has occurred means that problems like this will occur in the future.’

It was said that it was a mountain over a mountain, and when I solved the nameless poison, this time, the problem was the runaway of magic.

Ethan recalled the conversation he had seen with Eileen and Luca Rossi through jet-black eyes.

-Fortunately, the magic and magical powers in this child’s body are minimal. Because of the demon lord’s blood, this child will suffer persecution and suffering. Besides, if time passes and descendants of dark blood are born… … .

The mutation that Saint Eileen was concerned about was Cynthia.

‘If the princess dies from a magical explosion before I find the traces of the Demon King, it is a loss as it is.’

In fact, while he was with Cynthia, Ethan saw a dark follower he had never seen in his life, almost every day.

As such, Cynthia was a good bait to lure out the Dark Followers.

“Ugh.”

At that time, Cynthia tossed and turned as if she had regained consciousness.

Ben quickly walked over to the bed.

“majesty?!”

Ethan was about to go there too.

bang!

A huge explosion hit my ears.

“Damn!”

“Oh!”

The people around were startled, covered their heads and sat down.

Ethan hurriedly approached the window and checked the direction.

There was no need to pay close attention to where the explosion occurred.

There was a thick smoke rising from a building in the distance.
