Subscriber of the Gods Episode 186
Episode 186. I am the one
“It’s bigger than I thought.”
The inside of the cave was much larger than I thought.
The shabby-looking cave entrance seemed colorless, but as soon as you entered, the passage became noticeably wider.
The small entrance seemed to be intended to hide the outside world.
Ban Crow made an impression.
This is why I can’t help but be deceived.
Just looking at the entrance, it looked like a small cave, so they probably assumed there wouldn’t be many followers of the moon inside, so they went in and got caught.
Since it was a situation where life or death could not be confirmed, Ban Crow entered the cave with a heavy heart.
The interior was decorated to the point of being enviable. The walls were inlaid with luminous emeralds, gems that glowed in the dark, and the floors were so perfectly polished that you could walk on them barefoot.
Ethan felt around the cave.
‘At this scale, there must be hundreds of people. There must also be quite a few First Order level people.’
There was a high possibility that it was a place run directly by the apostles. Since they were trying to clean up a place like this with only about 30 holy knights, it was only natural that they would not return.
‘This place seems to have been created for another purpose. We’ll have to look into it further, but it’s certain that it’s run by someone with a lot of influence within the Dawn Society.’
gulp.
Unlike his appearance at the entrance, Ban Crow looked quite nervous.
“If this is the case, I’ll end up swinging my mace a lot for practice without thinking.”
“I guess you were worried for another reason.”
Ethan smirked and looked at the class.
‘What a funny guy.’
They say there are a lot of weird people in the Holy Light Church, but I never knew there were such cheerful people.
As the two people continued walking further inside, a sound was heard.
Ethan used the Eye of Horus to look inside.
‘There are about 100 people.’
About 100 followers of the moon were gathered in a wide space inside the cave.
But that can’t be all.
Ethan continued to look the other way with the Eye of Horus.
‘Of course it exists.’
As expected, there were just as many followers of the moon gathered on the other side as there were inside the cave.
Judging from the different equipment they each had, it seemed like they were deployed for different operations.
As a result of this confirmation, it was found that at least 500 followers of the moon were gathered inside this cave.
‘This confirms it. It’s a place managed by several First Order members under the Apostle’s direction.’
It was no ordinary organization. Judging by its size, it was clear that it was directly managed by the apostle.
“Ethan?”
Ban Crow looked at Ethan, who had suddenly stopped, and asked him why. Ethan raised his hand to stop Ban.
“Please wait a moment.”
Ethan used the Eye of Horus again.
I had to use more force than usual, so my eyes felt a little sore, but I was able to see deeper into the cave.
I figured out their numbers, but I still felt uneasy.
‘If this place is run by an apostle, it will definitely have its own characteristics.’
Each apostle has different roles and responsibilities.
If we looked a little closer, we might be able to find traces of the apostle who was managing this cave.
As Ethan continued to use the Eye of Horus to scan the inside of the cave, he noticed other people.
But it was different from the followers of the moon that we confirmed earlier.
Their eyes were cloudy and they were wounded here and there, and they were not moving at all.
These were not your typical moon followers.
‘Uneducated believers.’
As soon as he saw the sight, Ethan realized what this place was.
‘The 11 Apostles. One of the playgrounds he runs.’
Ethan was very impressed.
Non-educated believers are different from the general followers of the moon.
Those who are infinitely pitiful and powerless.
Those who cannot survive unless they are forced to join the Moon Followers due to threats to their lives.
‘There was a stronghold here too. How many places like this were built?’
There are several places that Ethan knows of right now.
But this was a place that even Ethan didn’t know existed.
“I will take the lead.”
“No, I… … .”
Before he could finish speaking, Ethan picked up the Frost Sword. Then he summoned Lucas.
– Summons Lucas, the Master of Mana.
“Ugh!”
The summoned Lucas immediately climbed onto Ethan’s shoulder and disappeared into smoke.
Shaaaaak-.
Ethan was immediately injected with Lucas’ mana.
Ethan’s pupils dilated at the overwhelming elation he felt at the same time.
“What kind of guy is this!”
“Are you the support force of Holy Light!”
The followers of the moon, who suddenly appeared and saw Ethan, each grabbed their weapons and rushed at him.
Ethan swung his sword lightly.
Shaaaak-.
A pure white frost spread within the range of Ethan’s sword, and the moon followers who were rushing towards him were frozen in place.
Tsk tsk tsk-. Tsk tsk tsk.
As those who had rushed in ahead froze, the moon followers behind them looked at Ethan with surprised eyes.
Ethan was equally surprised.
‘What the hell is this?’
He just swung the Frost Sword normally using Lucas’s mana. He didn’t even use all his strength. He just used Ethan’s sword technique centered around Lucas’s mana.
And yet, it has this much power.
‘The sword didn’t even touch it.’
Of course, I used more mana than usual. Lucas’ mana was efficient and didn’t put a strain on my body, so I wanted to test its power in real combat.
As a result, a powerful frost force of a different dimension than before spread out.
This is something that has never happened before.
“Ugh-!”
Lucas cried as if he was wondering what was wrong with his mana.
Of course, because of the extinction disease, the amount of Lucas’s mana that Ethan could accept was very limited.
‘He was able to achieve this power with only that limited mana.’
Ethan took a short breath.
It was worth choosing Lucas over so many other options.
Ethan received Lucas’ mana once more.
‘It’s not as efficient as my mana, but it’s passable. At this level… … !’
He put away the Frost Sword and this time took out the Thunder Sword.
Phage, phage, phage!
As he stabbed the Thunder Sword in a straight line, a bright yellow lightning bolt shot out and set the atmosphere on fire.
Kwajik-!
“Keuk… … .”
The follower of the moon who was pierced by the lightning fell down.
“This is no joke.”
Ethan found himself amazed by the power unlike ever before.
I knew it to some extent, but I could really feel it when I experienced it myself.
Ethan has never been able to fully utilize the power of his skills because of his extinction disorder.
But right now, those techniques were showing off their true power through Lucas’ mana.
‘If I can accommodate more of Lucas’s mana, I can increase the power of the technique even more.’
“good.”
In that case, the fastest way is to increase your spirit power through communication with Lucas.
At the same time, I needed to get used to the mana that Lucas was giving me.
‘I should try to see how much I can get this time.’
Ethan continued to swing his sword while receiving mana from Lucas.
* * *
“and…….”
Van Crow, who was watching Ethan from behind, couldn’t close his gaping mouth.
“I was a little suspicious that I was no longer needed because the Archbishop told me to go without worrying.”
The Archbishop’s judgment was right. He wondered if he had any need to follow him in the first place. Ethan’s divine power was that great.
With one swing of the sword, frost flutters and lightning strikes.
The followers of the moon were unable to put up a proper resistance to Ethan.
“I can save you.”
If we work with that person, we can save our comrades and completely destroy this stronghold.
As Ethan cleared out about a hundred Moon followers, Van Crow joined the fight.
“I’ll join in too. I have a feeling that wherever I swing my mace, the Moon Followers will rush in and accidentally collide with me!”
At that moment, a large number of armed Moon Followers burst out from inside the cave. They looked much stronger than the Moon Followers that Ethan had just dealt with.
In particular, the followers in the center were dressed differently.
Moreover, the weapon he was holding was also extraordinary; it was a magical sword that had been heavily enchanted with artifacts.
The moon followers who followed them quickly surrounded the two of them.
thud-.
The follower standing in the center took a strong step forward, putting pressure on Ethan and Van Crow.
“Don’t worry, Ethan. I’ll take the lead this time… … Ugh.”
But Van Crow’s words did not last long.
This was because Ethan, who was one step ahead, struck Van Crow on the back of his neck.
Van Crow fell unconscious. Ethan laid Van Crow down gently on the ground.
“… … What are you doing?”
“no way!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Are you going to hand over the sacred article and surrender?”
“That’s funny, yeah. Hand him over and get out! Now!”
Ethan’s eyes turned back to the last follower he had spoken to.
“… … !”
In that moment, his gaze changed completely. It was the kind of cold gaze that one would have when standing high up and looking down on those below.
“Kneel down.”
“What nonsense… … Huh!”
Ethan naturally took out the green jade from his bosom. It was the sacred item that had been taken by killing the 12 Apostles Luna Spirit.
At the moment, no one here knew who the green jade belonged to.
But everyone knew that the one who possessed the new water was an apostle.
“Oh, my lord!”
As soon as they saw the new water, the followers trembled. But they also looked at Ethan cautiously with eyes of disbelief.
What on earth is going on?
A follower with a magic sword examined Ethan’s green jade closely, to determine if it was real in the sudden situation.
Shaaaaak-!
In an instant, an intense light emanated from the green jade.
This light was the same source of power used by the followers of the moon.
What this meant was that the man in front of me was truly an apostle.
They didn’t know which apostle he was, but he was someone they had to serve.
“Meeting kids.”
Everyone bowed down to Ethan’s words.
It was truly a spectacle to see hundreds of followers prostrating themselves simultaneously.
Ethan smiled happily at the sight.
‘It brings back old memories.’
In fact, just having the new water alone could have raised suspicion. Since they were people who sent spies to numerous forces, they were also quite adept at distinguishing spies.
The new water alone could have revealed unnaturalness.
But who is Ethan?
‘This is why career positions are preferred.’
He is a career officer who served as a follower of the moon in Mephan and rose to the rank of First Order, just below the Apostle.
Thanks to this, I knew very well what kind of personalities the other apostles, except for the top apostle, had.
Ethan first approached the follower who had been swearing and swung his fist.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The follower of the moon was beaten thoroughly without even being able to make any excuses as his fists were swung mercilessly.
As the beatings became more intense, trust grew in the eyes of the Moon’s followers.
The person in front of me was definitely an apostle.
No one but an apostle would beat up someone so mercilessly.
“Eat.”
Ethan took the potion out of his bosom and fed it to him. The wounds all over the Moon Follower’s body immediately healed.
“… … ?”
The followers all looked puzzled. However, when Ethan started beating the recovered followers again, they looked at him with respect, saying that he was indeed an apostle.
