Hero's Mother After – Chapter 57 [Interlude] The Death of a Priest ~ The World Beyond Death ~
Priest's POV
An incident unfolds at a certain church.
"Hahaha, this is what happens when you defy us, Heroes!"
"That's right. You're opposing us even though I asked for your help to heal this scar on my face with an elixir..."
"We will not yield to the devil... but it seems we are no match for you..."
My family, my devout sisters, have been murdered.
And I see more than 30 dead bodies.
We are servants of the Goddess Ishtas-sama, dedicated to the church. According to her teachings, there is an afterlife and reincarnation.
There's nothing to fear.
Death is just the beginning of the next life.
"Then hand over the elixir... and your life shall be spared."
"Understood."
I took the elixir from the treasure vault.
"Now, give it to me."
But I... poured the elixir onto myself.
"What...?"
"You're not Heroes at all. Just mere killers! There's no way I'll give you the precious elixir, especially after my wife, son, and the devout sisters were killed. And now, I'm the only one left, so what's the use of me surviving alone?... Prepare to face your end!"
"Do you think you can defeat us? Someone who shares the blood of a Hero."
"Indeed, I cannot win now in this condition... but, Roland, you underestimated me..."
I swiftly dashed toward Roland.
Among the clergymen, I am one of the few who have monk job.
I am skilled in unarmed combat and agility, even without a weapon.
"You... won't lay a finger on Roland."
As expected, Martin intervened.
With his right hand, he formed three fingers and block my hand, sliding the middle one against my nose.
After all, he bears the name of a Hero, even if he is a corrupt.
He's fast.
And now, Martin's sword sliced through my abdomen, and my guts spilled out.
"Hahaha! You aren't faster than my hero sword... egh, ughhhhh!" Martin said but it was interrupted.
"Martin!" Roland shouted.
"Huff, huff, seems wearing the elixir has bought me some time... I'll take your eyes, the vengeance of my family and comrades... I'll take them with me."
My fingers seized Martin's eyeball and gouged it out.
"Hahaha, now you'll live in a dark world... suffering, gasping for breath."
"You die."
"Hahaha, you won't kill me with that alone..."
With my last strength, I threw a vial.
"Is this... gyuaaaaah!"
"Do you like hydrochloric acid?"
With this... it's over.
"You, you, you, youuuuuu!"
Roland repeatedly thrust his sword into me.
"Hahaha, one is blinded, the other's face is burnt by acid... huff, huff, such fitting appearances for you monsters..."
"Shut upppp!"
"Hahaha."
"Shut up!"
"Hahaha, we fear not death... for death is the time to meet the Goddess-sama and my companions, to be reborn... huff, huff, just a matter of time..."
"Youuuuu!"
"..."
Yes, we know there's something beyond death.
That's why we're not afraid of death.
