Chapter 333

If the Ramun Church Priests were the ones corrupting people.

How would that even be possible?

‘Is there someone among the Ramun Church Priests who can handle black cores like me?’

Or perhaps, like Lyos, they possessed the power of corruption?

Who could it be?

Dana fell into thought. Then she recalled a more fundamental question.

Were they really from the Ramun Church in the first place?

Perhaps there was a possibility they were merely pretending to be Ramun Church Priests?

‘Right. Like Princess Ingria, who was Lumiere’s wife, or Anton Roland, Lumiere’s maternal grandfather.’

Outwardly, they were believers who served the Sun God Ramun. But behind the scenes, they had served Somora for a very long time.

There might be those among the Ramun Church Priests who were also in disguise.

‘Then perhaps even this recent divine oracle could be a manipulation by the Somora cult.’

Lyos had also manipulated the Sun God’s oracle to place Justio on the throne. There was no reason others couldn’t do the same.

‘Maybe there are clues here that could reveal the truth.’

Dana rose from her chair and walked toward the boy.

Since it had come to this, she had no choice but to find out the truth accurately.

As she sat by the bedside and reached out her hand toward the boy, Diane asked in a puzzled voice.

“What are you trying to do right now?”

“I’m going to look.”

“At what?”

“What this child saw and experienced.”

Dana placed her hand over the boy’s face. Then she heard a trembling voice from behind her.

“Could it be, the eye that looks down through time… I thought it was just Lord Rodrigo’s vain dream, but do you really have such an ability?”

“I need to concentrate, so please be quiet for a bit.”

Dana closed her eyes as she placed her hand on the boy’s head.

Her motivation was overflowing, but she had a bad feeling.

‘I don’t think this will work well.’

She had used her purification ability not long after recovering from gunshot wounds. Because of that, she was currently in a state of low energy.

However, defying her worries, the giant eye snapped open. It was surprisingly swift.

Dana was captivated by that wondrous sensation.

‘I felt this when I purified those corrupted Holy Knights not long ago too…’

Indeed, her power had grown stronger.

No, actually, it had been like this all along. Gradually growing stronger and stronger, to the point where it was incomparable to when she first became aware of this ability.

If Viego’s theory was correct.

‘This ability is something I’ve accumulated bit by bit through my various lives.’

Thinking this way, this eye now truly felt like her own. This was my eye. That eye was the sea, the earth, and the sky. She surveyed the boy’s time with that world’s vision.

‘What did you experience?’

Show me. The things you went through.

The next moment, Dana found that time.

The first thing she saw was the interior of a dark mine tunnel. The boy was mining minerals with swollen hands, swinging a pickaxe.

“Cough, cough.”

The boy kept coughing. Surprisingly, Dana could even eavesdrop on some of the boy’s thoughts.

‘It’s hard.’

Dana was startled. How could she read thoughts too?

‘This is the holy magic that Justio cast on me, isn’t it?’

Why was that holy magic still remaining?

Suddenly, the necklace around her neck came to mind.

The mysterious magical artifact Justio had given her. The necklace with holy magic that kept her sane.

Could this necklace have absorbed Justio’s holy magic from that time? Did Justio know about this?

‘No- let me focus for now.’

This wasn’t the time for other thoughts. Dana shook off her stray thoughts and looked at the boy’s time once more.

‘My cough seems to have gotten much worse lately.’

The boy had been working in the mines since he was even younger than now. Because of that, he had grown up breathing in dust and lived with a chronic cough, but recently it had been accompanied by high fever as well.

‘It’s hard. Mother, Father, I miss you.’

Mother and Father had passed away a few years ago. Suddenly, Mother’s last words came to mind.

“We are a people who lost our god, the Seven-Headed Serpent. We lost our god and even lost our god’s name, but we must not forget our god’s teachings.”

Mother’s warm smile, now faint.

“Passion, appetite, confidence, desire, leisure, longing, and love. These are the Seven Virtues of the Seven-Headed Serpent and the symbol of our god. Live a rich life where the Seven Virtues are harmoniously balanced.”

But Mother, the Ramun Church Priests say that’s fake. They say it’s something made up by demon worshippers. They say it’s actually not the Seven Virtues but the Seven Sins.

Passion is wrath, appetite is gluttony, confidence is pride, desire is greed, leisure is sloth, longing is envy, and.

Suddenly, Diane’s face came clearly to mind. The boy became very melancholy.

And love is dirty lust.

That’s such a disgusting sin that you get severely punished if you commit it.

Then, the old man pulling a cart in front of the boy collapsed as if crumbling.

“What are you doing? Get up quickly.”

The Ramun Church Priest supervising them approached and coldly urged him.

“Sloth is one of the Seven Sins. Do not practice the evil of the Seven-Headed Serpent.”

However, the old man couldn’t get up. The priest looked down with displeasure and brought his hand to the old man’s nose.

“He’s dead.”

And with eyes devoid of any sympathy, he gestured to the Holy Knight standing behind.

“Please move him to the basement of the red castle.”

It seemed like a common occurrence. The workers, with faces mixing anger and resignation, couldn’t even mourn and grudgingly did their assigned work. The boy was the same.

And that night, the boy suffered from severe body aches. He fell into a deep sleep without realizing it and couldn’t go to work at the mine.

“I, I had severe body aches, so I couldn’t go to work!”

The boy clasped his hands together and pleaded with the Ramun priests who had come to catch the unauthorized absentee.

“I wasn’t being lazy, really!”

“No, you have committed the sin of sloth. Only the punishment of penance can wash away that sin.”

“Please, please forgive me!”

However, the Ramun Church priests were merciless.

The boy was dragged to the Red Castle.

And through the massive stone door carved with the emblems of the sun, sea, and Seven-Headed Serpent, he was dragged deep underground.

And.

And…

“…!”

The next moment, Dana’s eyes snapped open.

“Ah!”

A short scream burst out. Dana gasped sharply and collapsed.

“Dana!”

Huff, huff, rapid breathing burst forth. When she came to her senses, she had collapsed almost face-down next to the boy.

“Are you okay?”

Diane was looking down at her with a worried expression.

“Dana, you suddenly fainted. You don’t look well- goodness, why are you trembling like this?”

“How long… how long was I unconscious?”

“Not very long. About ten minutes?”

Dana’s face turned pale. Her fingertips trembled violently.

What was that?

What was that just now?

Just now. What did I see?

‘That’s impossible. That can’t be.’

But she had definitely seen it.

The scene that boy had witnessed, clearly.

The underground of the castle was connected to a very large cave, and inside that cave was a massive black lake.

‘No, that wasn’t a lake.’

To the boy’s eyes it would have looked like just a black lake, but Dana knew what it was.

‘Damn it, how is that possible?’

That was Corruption.

The filthy Corruption that rots the earth.

A pitch-black source of Corruption was condensed like a massive lake!

Since she had never seen Corruption that large in her life, Dana’s spine went cold. Goosebumps rose all over her body.

‘But there was something even more horrifying.’

Dana felt dizzy and held her head with her hand. What was even more shocking was.

“Now, shall we begin?”

There was someone wearing a black robe with the hood pulled deep. He put his hand into that Corruption and.

Scooped up a handful of Corruption, like scooping up mud.

And pushed that Corruption into a crude mineral about the size of a fist.

The Corruption seeped blackly into the mineral like black water.

And then he.

“Ah, let’s try it. Want to eat it?”

-Said in a distorted voice.

He brought that black mineral to the boy’s mouth.

“No, I don’t want to! Please save me!”

The boy refused and struggled, but a Ramun Church Holy Knight forcibly grabbed the boy’s jaw and pried it open.

“I’m curious to see what happens when you eat a Black Core.”

They fed that black mineral to this boy.

Dana couldn’t believe the scene she had witnessed. It was that shocking. It was surprising enough that there was someone who could touch Corruption and be fine.

‘That person was pouring Corruption into the mineral.’

What was created that way was precisely a Black Core.

That meant-

‘Black Cores aren’t natural products?’

Made by humans, a human invention?

Then all the countless Black Cores that had been buried in the earth until now- those seeds of Corruption that rotted the ground.

Were they all buried by human hands?

Under the guise of the Ramun Church, who on earth!

“Don’t push yourself too hard, Dana.”

At the voice that came then, Dana startled and turned around.

When had he returned? Karl, who had gone out shopping, had somehow opened the door and come in.

“You haven’t forgotten that you’re a patient, have you?”

Dana looked at Karl with a deathly pale face.

Karl’s face with the hood pulled deep was shrouded in dark shadows.

Like the person in her memory who had fed Corruption to the boy.
