Imperial Tombs (3)

Pietro seals the soul of the first high-level priest together with the body.

The body of the first high-ranking priest was wrapped in an aura net and became like a cocoon.

Still, Pietro was not relieved.

He pulled out several magic stones from his chest.

They implanted it in various places in the ruins of the first imperial tomb and began to install new barriers.

- Aww!

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

- Let go! I mean leave me alone!

screaming soul.

He was the first high priest to die.

It seemed that he had just woken up from the shock of death and came to his senses.

He was screaming as he realized that he was sealed away.

-Is it you? Are you holding me like this?

-Yes.

When Pietro replied, the first high priest's cries grew louder.

-Are you saying you're going to make the Undead the same as I did for you? Are you going to take revenge? so far!

- It's not revenge.

- Then let me go. I will become a spirit.

- Stupid guy.

Pietro let out a sigh.

Pietro was generally unemotional, but it was frustrating to see the apprentice he had once considered like a son still awake after his death.

It was all the more pity because he was a clever guy who resembled himself the most.

-I want you to let me go!

The first senior priest was frustrated.

someone was calling him

The thought that I had to go to the one who called me suddenly came to me.

However, being caught here like this was frustrating.

- The Great One is calling me. please let me go!

- Stop being stupid. He is not the original light.

- You still say that!

Pietro completed the barrier regardless.

'If I did this much, at least the situation I was worried about wouldn't come out.'

But I didn't feel safe.

Because there has never been a time when a prophecy did not come true.

Pietro couldn't help but doubt whether I had misunderstood something.

- Aaaaaaa! I mean, let me go!

It was uncomfortable to hear the voice of the first high-ranking priest who kept screaming.

However, Pietro decided to stay here for now.

'I'll have to watch for a while.'

On the ground, the World Cup was in full swing, but Pietro had no interest in it.

Pietro thought about staying here for quite some time and sat down.

I closed my eyes and concentrated.

In order to detect if someone breaks into its seal, in any case.

***

The first senior priest despaired.

The person he once considered like a father made him this way.

How did this happen?

He looked back over his past life.

Looking back, the fall of the high priest, which was like a milestone in life, was the beginning of the tragedy.

crumbling sanctuary.

The high priest who was killed by humans there.

I had no doubt that the high priest would fulfill the will of the light of the beginning and accomplish a great cause.

But the ending was so shocking.

Why did this happen?

It must have been done according to the will of the great one, but why?

After the high priest's death, he wandered. He was a wanderer who lost his milestones. The people of the people collapsed along with the sanctuary, and there was no longer a high priest who conveyed the will of the light in the beginning.

I didn't know what to live for.

Then I realized.

'I must become the new high priest.'

He thought that he was the only one who would inherit the legacy of the dead high priest.

He was the first high-ranking priest, and more than anyone else, he was the trusted successor of the former high priest.

Because it has been evaluated as the most likely to become the next generation's high priest who can welcome the light of the beginning.

After that, he went to the spirit realm and tried to reach the primordial light, and finally he was able to achieve his goal.

Again, in support of his will, he rallied the priests and made a struggle.

But, again, I came to this conclusion.

All the priests who followed him either died or betrayed him, and he was sealed like this even after his death.

'why? I just followed what he said, so why did this happen? What's wrong?'

If you think about it, it was a tragedy that was caused by following the prophecy of the light of the beginning.

The collapse of the sanctuary and the situation he was now in were all the result of following that prophecy.

'Did he mean to destroy us? why!'

so you have to go

You have to see him in person and check it out.

Why did this tragedy appear?

What is the true purpose of its design?

But that was then.

- You were there.

I heard someone's voice.

- Who, who ?!

The first senior priest asked in amazement.

-Are you asking who I am? i am your master

-omg! great man!

-Why are you in such a place? I've been waiting for you to come here

-You mean you waited for me?

-Yes.

-You are the light of the beginning. I accepted your mission, but I died without being able to fulfill it. I am a sinner who failed to fulfill my mission.

- You doubt me.

The first high-ranking priest was terrified.

Because I saw it completely through.

-Don't you know that this is also my will?

- Is this what you mean?

-You just need to come here.

- What kind of place is it?

-It's the paradise you longed for.

-Is this the land of light that I longed for...?

-Do you still doubt me?

It felt like finding a ray of light in the darkness.

The first senior priest was full of joy.

land of light.

Until now, everyone thought it was above ground.

But it wasn't.

The land where light falls was the bosom of light in the beginning. It was a world where His great light reached.

All doubts have been cleared.

The reason why the sanctuary fell and so many of my own people had to die.

It was to lead everyone there.

To a place where only happiness and truth exist.

- I don't doubt it. please take me

- But you're stuck there.

-Yes, that wicked man who claimed to be your agent has sealed me here. I can't get out of here.

- You are indeed an evil person. But don't worry. because i found you

-Are you saving me from this place?

The first senior priest was thrilled.

- But I can't do it alone. You must add strength from within.

-All right. How can I get strength?

- Our souls are connected. Focus on that link. If you don't let go of that connection, you will be guided where you need to go.

-All right!

With the fear and confusion gone from his mind, the first high priest was able to contemplate his own soul.

Like a really thin thread, his soul was connected somewhere.

It was a sign of an oath.

It was proof that he would devote his soul to a great cause.

Pietro thoroughly sealed and sealed the barrier, but he couldn't break the connection.

'He has not forgotten me. He's always been connected to me.'

The first senior priest, who was thrilled, got motivated.

In my despair, I found a thread that would lead me to paradise.

The first high priest held on to the thread.

Grab this and go there. to where i should go

Whoa!

Soul links began to resonate.

The thread started shaking the seal that was tightly enclosing it while transmitting a loud sound.

It was a very thorough seal and barrier, but as long as the thread connecting the two souls had not been cut, there was a tiny hole in it.

The small hole got bigger and started cracking around it.

- What's the matter!

Pietro shouted.

The first senior priest was elated.

- You bastard wearing a human shell! No matter how much you block it, it's useless. I will go to the land of light!

- The land where the light falls? How can you get there...

Pietro was speechless halfway through.

He immediately said that he had grasped the situation at once.

- He contacted you and dazzled you again. To be able to intervene this far, the method of dealing with his soul is beyond imagination.

-Don't speak carelessly! you don't know anything The land where the light falls was not the ground! It means the place where His grace reaches.

- You believe that because you're not insane.

- You're really out of your mind! To go against His will and live side by side with humans?

- Calmly look back on your conversation with him.

Pietro insisted while trying to keep the seal and barrier.

-You would always have been quick to say what you want first. He only seduced me by listening to it and sympathizing with it.

That was the only way for a king who knew nothing about prophecies to deceive the first senior priest by pretending to be the light of the beginning.

The first high-ranking priest, whose urgency was too much, believed what he wanted to believe without any doubt.

Despite his lack of knowledge, cunning was an easy prey for a born king.

But the first high priest didn't hear anything.

I had no choice but to escape from the present frustrating situation.

It was also unavoidable.

As long as the souls are connected, the instinct to follow them works intensely.

- Calm down. Once you get into his grip, it's hard to get out again.

Pietro's persuasion was futile.

Jigsaw Jigsaw!

The seal has been broken.

Cracks also occurred in the barrier.

And finally, the first high priest met the spirit of his master.

***

- Hey, it's been a while.

The king greets Pietro.

-Did you intervene all this way through the connection of souls?

-of course.

- Was it that strong of a bond?

-You too have escaped from my restraints even when your bond with the body is weak. It was a truly outstanding feat, but the bond between me and this guy is 100 times stronger than that. Do you think I'll miss the soul I once mortgaged?

Then, the first senior priest's terrified screams rang out.

- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Ambassador!

Having fallen into the hands of the king, he was now eagerly seeking Pietro.

- Help me, High Priestess! What is this monster?! Aaaaaa!

-Don't you know who he is, first one.

Pietro sighed.

There was no way now.

The king's technique was so advanced that if he jumped in to save it, he could fall into the king's hands along with his own soul.

- This friend is right. You know very well who I am. Because souls are connected.

- Aaaaaa! cheated on me!

-huh? Well, I didn't lie much.

The first senior priest was shocked.

Looking back, it was true.

'I am your master.'

'Don't you know that this is also my will?'

'It's the paradise you longed for.'

The monster didn't lie. It was only that the first high-ranking priest misjudged himself and led him to be deceived.

-I didn't expect this stupid guy to do what I wanted. No, I was really looking forward to it, but I gave up because this friend seemed to be blocking it. this guy is smart

Pietro, who had been praised, was not happy at all.

In the end, the only thing left to do was to collect the souls captured in the mortgage, so the king probably didn't care if the work failed or not.

Pietro also vaguely guessed it and tried to block it by opening a seal and barrier, but it was not enough.

-Then next time, let's meet properly by bringing not only the soul, but also the body.

- Aaah!

The king took the first high priest and disappeared.

Left alone, Pietro shook his head.

In the end, the prophecies never went wrong.

Trouble will come.
