Contrary to the theme, violent religions have a clergy rank system like regular religions.
From laymen and ordinary believers to religious leaders.
This group of people heading to the temple of violence are believers. The giants I defeated called each other priests. There are also bishops and cardinals in the pseudo-crazy religion theme.
What is strange is that, with the exception of religious leaders, priests are appointed through entrance exams. It was said that if one passed the test of violence, one could rise to the highest rank of bishop. In fact, it is an armed group disguised as religion. Are those who are unsuitable for combat filtered out through entrance exams and only high-quality talents are rescued?
I paid attention to the state of the violent priest who had turned into a monster. Although it is faint, it contains the power of the devil. As expected, the higher one’s rank, the more likely one is to have stronger demonic powers. The leader of a violent cult is looking for useful combatants and sharing his power with them. Why the greedy devil? There must be one reason.
“Let’s plant seeds.”
The devil is recruiting an army.
We share our strengths and train loyal soldiers.
To kill and eat humans.
Although the evidence is lacking, my guess is probably correct.
Now all we have to do is find solid evidence in that bizarre and gloomy building.
What does ‘building’ mean in religion?
The people here were no different from the people on Earth.
From ancient Greek times to modern times.
The religions of that era always had ornate and magnificent religious buildings.
Religion is a realm of reverence. And the thing that has the greatest direct influence on ignorant believers is probably the external appearance that represents religion, that is, buildings such as cathedrals or temples. In that sense, the Temple of Violence was a very successful building. Just by looking at it, one could guess what kind of religion the violent religion was and what its power was.
“amazing. I was skeptical, but it was like this… … .”
“It smells, it smells like money. “Kkkkkk.”
Just by looking at the murmurs of the believers, you could tell that they had succeeded in creating an intimidating feeling. The Temple of Violence was similar in structure to the Colosseum stadium in Rome, but was much larger in size and height as it was a tower over six stories high. This area is an old historical site, said to be under the curse of Sternil, and was also avoided by the Kunkan people. But no matter what, it wasn’t known that a building of that size existed?
The Temple of Violence was magnificent.
There was also a strong smell of blood.
The disgust I felt in Melkaran can be felt in that building as well.
Devil’s Cradle.
The building itself looked like a giant, living, breathing demon.
“That… “Is it blood?”
One sharp-eyed man said in astonishment. Dark red blood poured like a waterfall from the window on the exterior wall of the building and then stopped. The temple vomited blood. It is sticky human blood mixed with flesh. As if they were used to it, the giants brought a mop and began to clean up the ‘wreck’. Everyone gathered in the square fell silent at the terrible sight. Whether they were murderers, rioters, or farmers, they seemed to realize the situation they were in.
The strong smell of violence encroaching on the surrounding area was enough to weed out the crowd of idiots.
Just in case, the idiots who joined the procession could not bear it and chose to run away. Of the more than 100 people, more than half deserted. The violent priests took no action, as if they had expected it. Again, their goal was not laymen with faith.
From the windows of the temple, screams, moans, blood, and old weapons continued to gush like a fountain.
It is a disgusting facility that goes far beyond understanding.
Solgar is still neglecting this violent religion.
This is 100% intentional aid.
No matter how large the heresy was, there was nothing that Solgar could not do if he truly wanted to suppress it. He stands by even as his people turn into merciless rioters. Duke Solgar may want to become one. Kunkan faces great adversity due to the violent protests of cultists and rioters.
Despite the terrible sight, the people gathered in the square did not move. The smell of blood seemed familiar to them. Mercenaries were ordinary people. A prisoner who could not take off his handcuffs and a deserter wearing a Kunkan military uniform were also seen. These are people who have reached the abyss, where there is nowhere else to fall.
“Is the only real thing left?”
Rather, ordinary people stand out more. A farmer looking around with anxious eyes and a red-haired boy who looks to be around the same age as me.
“Wow, that guy is quite… … .”
While learning martial arts from Lanista, I encountered dozens of warriors. What I gained was not just martial arts. I gained the keen eye to recognize unmanned people. The red-haired boy is the strongest among those gathered here. Except me, of course.
As I was waiting in the square, the temple door opened and a priest of a violent religion walked out. Unlike giants, he was a man of small stature. But even though hundreds of pairs of eyes in the square were focused on him, he remained calm. Contrary to his impressions, he is a man who uses his strength wisely. Stronger than the big guys.
The priest smiled, wrinkled his eyes, and shouted in a friendly tone.
“now. I’ll give you ten minutes, so form a team of three with whoever you want~! Let’s see, one, two… good. The number is just right!”
Is it church recreation time?
People were taken aback by the cheerful man’s shout. When he told them to form teams of three, people only glanced around and did not move from their positions. How could the human waste that has fallen to the abyss trust someone they meet for the first time?
“It’s late, it’s late! “If you are late, everyone will be eliminated!”
But the priest’s next words moved people.
“It’s already started! Entrance exam, first. “It’s a test of sharp eyes!”
Entrance exam.
Funny enough, with just that one word, the square turned into a social party.
Fierce humans awkwardly rescue their comrades. It was so funny that I watched and giggled. People who knew each other easily formed teams, but most of them were loners, so even talking to them felt burdensome. Still, people flocked to those who seemed quite strong, perhaps because there was some fame in the back world that I didn’t know about. Even if you didn’t expect it, it’s a team fight and you have to make the optimal choice the moment you realize it. They all wanted strong and reliable colleagues.
Daa?
I stood quietly and watched the people.
Dalby, who was sitting at my feet, raised his head and looked at me.
I grinned and stroked his head.
“You are my only companion.”
Daa.
Dalby rubbed his cheek against his shin. When I playfully poked his plump right cheek, Dalby waggled his fluffy little tail. Dalbi, who was expressing his affection by pressing his body against his, suddenly ran off somewhere and raised his hoof towards someone.
Daa?
It seemed to refer to a red-haired boy.
Like me, he just stood blankly and watched the people. A lot of venom appeared on his face. There are two reasons for not saving a friend. Either you’re shy or you’re talented enough that you don’t need to be that way. Dalby also has quite a sharp eye. Well, it seemed like if I stayed still, I would naturally become a team with him.
“Okay, ten minutes have passed. Let’s see, the team has been chosen just right! It’s a shame. “It would be fun if there were surplus people.”
In the end, I ended up on the same team as the two people who weren’t selected.
If you look at its appearance alone, it is the weakest. A farmer with a muscular body but a simple face, and a red-haired boy with an irritated face, probably going through puberty. And I just laughed heartily.
“joy. “I don’t know about the depressor muscles.”
I wasn’t chosen either.
If I had seen the actual compression muscles hidden under the robe, I would have thought differently.
A team was formed, but I decided not to pay much attention to it.
It means nothing to me.

“Hehe, master.”
The farmer came closer and whispered in my ear.
“I will keep your identity a secret.”
“There’s really no need for that.”
I wanted to slap him on the cheek.
“Why on earth didn’t you go back? “What?”
“That’s to repay Confucius’ kindness!”
“what?”
“I always wanted to be a Knight of Quartz.”
I slowly looked at the farmer’s face. It seemed like he meant it.
He seemed to have made a very burdensome decision.
“I grew up experiencing the Great War since I was a child. Like most Kunkan people my age, I was deeply hurt. My entire family was killed by impersonators. My father, who was the village pastor, was actually an impersonator. haha.”
He laughed openly. Has the pain of losing his family faded with time?
No, probably not.
“Your father, the great Blue Pillar, Duke of Reinberg, saved the village. haha. I swore revenge. I wanted to pledge my allegiance. But as an orphan, there was nothing I could do. Ever since I was young, I had been told that I had to use my strength, but as a serf of Solgar, my strength was only used to plow the fields. After hearing Confucius’ warning, I decided to return for the sake of my family. However, I thought that if this place was so dangerous that Confucius warned him, he should not be left alone. I didn’t have the courage I had when I was young. Now you have a chance to become a genius! “A chance to return the favor!”
Oh my god.
So, he must have wanted to do something crazy like this.
He was a dumber person than I expected.
If I were an ordinary person, I would have run away from the grace of 30 years ago.
Is this the harm of chivalry that Kunkan considers honorable?
He was already steeped in his own ideology and believed too much in himself.
Oh my God, even after having my arms and legs cut off, I wonder if I can still talk about grace and all that.
“Ah, that boy over there looks just as young as Confucius. Because of some unfortunate circumstances… Tsk tsk.”
The farmer was very friendly. He went off alone, approached the red-haired boy, and casually introduced himself. I scratched my head and went to their side. Anyway, I still need to know the name.
“I am Narand Junior from Quarts. From the looks of it, he seems to be around my son’s age. Can I talk to him? ha ha ha-!”
He smiled cheerfully and spoke, but the boy did not move a thing. However, despite the awkwardness, the farmer’s laughter did not stop.
“Then you know that. boy! Tell me your name! “We’re on the same team, so you can’t call me a redhead, right?”
The boy refused to answer, but the farmer was persistent.
Finally, he said my name in a low voice.
“… “It’s Gowoon.”
“delicate? Is this the name of the region below? “What’s your last name?”
“You don’t know, right?”
“Hehe, you have a tough personality like a hedgehog. I want to join a violent cult for fame and fortune. Even though you are young, you seem to have deep feelings. “What brought you to this place?”
“So there’s nothing to know!”
“Let’s not be like that and just be friends. They all feel like my sons… … .”
“Wow! “Why don’t you ask that kid?”
Little?
Did you call me a kid when you saw me?
“Huff. Not a kid. That person, or rather the author, I know, so there’s no need to ask him.
There is no need to hide it.
I said to the red-haired kid.
“To cut them all off.”
“what?”
“I participated to ruin everything. why? “Why did you participate?”
He looked at me with an absurd face.
Two people have given their reasons, so if you don’t tell them the reason to the end, you’ll feel like an idiot.
In the end, the red-haired kid sighed and spoke softly.
“How did I end up with these people…?” Tsk. There is no particular reason. “I just came to prove myself.”
“proof?”
I intentionally laughed and laughed.
“ha ha ha. This is absolutely crazy! Isn’t that right, mister?”
“huh? Ah, I see. ha ha ha.”
He got angry and shouted.
“How funny!”
“There are so many places in the world to prove to, but why did you come to this pseudo-cult? Well, were you hoping to get recognition from Solgar by eradicating the violent cult? Can’t you see it? “This place is just an asshole.”
“… “Tch.”
The boy looked at me with dissatisfied eyes and then turned his back.
And he didn’t say a word until the priest gave him an order.
He was a bastard.
