Chapter 122



“Rin, shouldn’t you be faithful to me and Goddess Rebecca, as well as serve as a role model to the believers?”

The Vatican . Dozens of senior paladins and priests watched as one of Rebecca’s Daughters, Rin was questioned .

She declared, “This is a misunderstanding . My loyalty to Goddess Rebecca and Your Holiness is eternal . I will never betray Your Holiness . ”

“If you are loyal, why haven’t you responded to my calls? Shouldn’t you obey my commands in any circumstances?”

Last January .

Drevigo rose to the seat of 13th pope after defeating the other candidates, and revealed himself as soon as he seized power . Almost two years after he became a pope, he broke the laws to fill his own self-interests and defiled the honor of Goddess Rebecca .

The high priests were remorseful and tried to correct their mistake, but they weren’t successful . Those who made any comments were demoted to temples in remote areas . Only those who didn’t care and became corrupt with the pope remained at the Vatican .

Reform was needed .

Finally, September of this year . The high-ranking clergymen rebelled in order to remove Drevigo from the pope’s seat . But Drevigo had Rebecca’s Daughters . They were absolutely loyal to the pope and the rebellion failed before their strength . After that, Drevigo was able to consolidate his position even more .

The priests lamented . Three of the strongest paladins fostered to guard the church were now protecting the worst pope . As long as Rebecca’s Daughters existed, the pope would remain alive until the end and the Rebecca Church would rot .

But now . Due to Drevigo’s endless desires, even Rebecca’s Daughters could feel the change . Those who had been taught to be absolutely loyal to the pope from a young age were trying to escape their brainwashing .

“I… I felt confused because Your Holiness didn’t fulfill your duties as a pope . I prayed to Goddess Rebecca to see if I should submit to your commands and to ask for answers . ”

Rin was strong but she was pure, like a little girl . The pope ridiculed her for answering so honestly .

“You wondered if you should submit to my commands?”

“…Yes . ”

“Why are you so simple?” The pope’s eyes widened as he shouted . “I am the agent of Goddess Rebecca! It is your duty to believe and follow me . Are you trying to use prayer as an excuse? Rin! You are a dangerous child! You are no longer my daughter! I will reclaim Ikael’s Sword!”

At that moment, a quest notification window appeared in front of Damian, who was standing next to the high-ranking paladin and priest NPCs .



[Pope’s Decision]

Difficulty Level: SS

Rebecca’s Daughters are the absolute weapons of the Rebecca Church . Their armed strength is reliable, but they can be dangerous if they aren’t under perfect control . The pope is worried about the worst and eventually gave a command .

Kill Rebecca’s Daughter, Rin . Killing her won’t deal a direct hit to the church . As long as Ikael’s Sword exists, an endless number of substitutes can replace her .

Quest Clear Conditions: Rin’s death .



Clear Reward: Abilities awakening .

* You can exert the true abilities of a paladin of the Rebecca Church .

Quest Failure: Level -4 . Divine Power will decrease by 10,000 .

[Would you like to accept the quest?]



There were three types of paladins in Satisfy .

The most popular type of paladins were those belonging to the Judar Church .

They specialized in a wide range of buff skills and had excellent defense . They were in charge of the party buffs, and were active in party hunting and raised because they were able to serve as the main tanker . They were considered as the most popular class after the Rebecca priests .

Then there were the paladins of the Dominion Church .

They specialized in personal buff skills and had high attack power . They weren’t popular with large scale parties and raids, but they were popular in small party hunting . In addition, their single combat ability was the best among the paladins .

The last were paladins of the Rebecca Church .

They were the only paladins who could use Heal . But they didn’t have buff skills . However, their amount of healing wasn’t high, so they weren’t popular in party hunting or raids . It was a class that was only grudgingly accepted when a priest couldn’t be found . They had no buff skills and their combat ability was the weakest among the paladins .

They were much harder to find than paladins of other churches, and weren’t popular . It was rare to find a user who was a paladin of the Rebecca Church .

But wasn’t it strange? Rebecca’s Daughters were paladins, and not only that, they were the strongest among all NPC paladins . Thanks to their presence, Damian speculated that a Rebecca paladin would become stronger if they broke through a certain point .

If he reached his second advancement, wouldn’t he become stronger than paladins of other churches? He thought for a bit before choosing to become a paladin of the Rebecca Church . However, he reached level 200 after much difficulty and didn’t find anything special . The paladins of the other churches were still better than paladins of the Rebecca Church .

Damian felt extreme disappointment and skepticism . But right now .

‘Abilities awakening…!’

It was the reward of his first SS-grade quest after playing Satisfy for over a year . If this quest was cleared and his abilities awakened, Damian was obviously going to become stronger as he originally anticipated . Damian had been waiting for this moment since he became a paladin of the Rebecca Church .

He made a decision .

“…I reject . ”



[If you refuse the quest, the pope will view you as a traitor . Do you still want to reject?]





“…”

He was a paladin of the Rebecca Church . Damian had struggled to raise his level and divine power . Everyone laughed and called Rebecca’s paladins garbage, but Damian didn’t stop dreaming of the day his abilities would awaken .

Then a month ago, he became 2nd on the paladin rankings . As a result of the effort that other people couldn’t imagine, he was finally faced with the moment his abilities would awaken . So why was he refusing the quest?

“How can I aim a sword at Rin-chan?”

It was due to his virtuous heart . Damian had been watching Rebecca’s Daughters for a long time, and was attracted by their beauty and charm . He ran a blog on the Internet praising Rebecca’s Daughters .

“Don’t underestimate my virtue…! I refuse the quest!”



[The quest was refused . ]

[An angry Pope Drevigo has pointed you out as a traitor . ]

“Disgraceful person! What are you doing? Get rid of him and Rin!”

Chaaeng!

Dozens of senior paladins simultaneously armed themselves . They rushed towards Rin and Damian after receiving the pope’s command .

“Ah…!”

Rin was confused . She had been branded as a traitor after a lifetime of loyalty, so she had no idea what to do . Damian ran to her side and reassured her, “Rin-chan, it will be okay . I will protect you . ”

Excluding the time he spent playing Satisfy, Damian spent all his time managing his blog and watching Japanese anime . Now he had an opportunity to defend the heroine, just like the protagonists of the animes he watched .

Rin was tearful as she looked at his back .

“Damian… I’m not alone?”

Damian glanced at her and replied . “Yes . I am beside Rin-chan . And Goddess Rebecca will surely protect us . ”

At that moment, a new quest window emerged in front of Damian .



[Goddess’ Divine Punishment]

Difficulty: Class change quest .

Your choice to reject the corrupt pope’s command wasn’t wrong . Goddess Rebecca has blessed you .

As an agent of Goddess Rebecca, punish the corrupt pope!

Quest Progress Reward: Abilities awakening .

Quest Clear Conditions: Pope Drevigo’s death .

Quest Clear Reward: The hidden class ‘Goddess’ Agent . ’

Quest Failure: Level -20 . You will lose your current class . The complete corruption of the Rebecca Church .

* The hidden class change quest has the power to transform Satisfy’s world, according to the result . Please be careful .



[Goddess Rebecca has blessed you for following her teachings faithfully . ]

[Due to this, your suppressed powers have been awakened . ]

[All stats have increased by 100 . ]

[The skill ‘Light’s Blessing’ has been generated . ]

[The skill ‘Heart’s Desire’ has been generated . ]


Kkuok!

Damian gripped his sword tightly .

Duguen! Duguen!

His heart was thudding . His blood was boiling . It was the first time in 32 years that his adrenaline rose like this .

‘I chose this . ’

Reality was different from manhwa . The main characters in manhwa were rewarded for their effort, but reality was grim . It was a world that was only beneficial to those who studied or had money .

In reality, Damian couldn’t be a protagonist . But Satisfy was another reality, and his efforts and choices were repaid, giving him a chance to become a hero .

“Drevigo! As an agent of Goddess Rebecca, I will deal out divine punishment! Light’s Blessing!”



[You and your party’s defense, attack power and accuracy will increase by 80% for 3 minutes . ]



“Ohhhhhh!”

Damian was surrounded by a golden light as he broke through the paladins and reached Drevigo . Drevigo reached out . “You dare to act as an agent of the goddess in front of me . Do you believe that you can receive a divine message?”

Kwaang!

Drevigo’s belief in Goddess Rebecca was real . His overwhelming divine power was comparable to Rebecca’s Daughters . The power of light fired from his fingertip easily penetrated Damian’s chest .

“Cough . . !”



[You have lost 41% of your health from a single blow . ]

[You can’t regain your mental state . ]



What was this result? His vision was going crazy . His body couldn’t move the way he wanted .

‘Indeed, I… I’m not a protagonist . ’

Damian fell into a stunned state and was unprotected . The moment the pope was about to launch another attack at him and all his efforts were in vain…

“How funny… I came here to meet the pope, so why is there a quest to destroy the pope?”

The doors of the huge room opened without permission and an outsider entered . It was a man wearing a scruffy cloak and a bizarre skull helmet .

“Who is it now?”

“A protagonist? I see . ”

Papapat!

After examining the situation, Grid threw three darts at the pope standing at the end of a long red carpet .

“Block it!”

The paladins used their shields to block the darts . But the moment the darts hit the shields, an explosion occurred and smoke emerged . Grid used that gap to rescue Damian and Rin from the enemy .

Then he suggested to Damian, whose eyes were wide at the suddenly revealed savior, “Invite me into the party . Instead, can I have all the items that the pope drops? I think that is sufficient for saving your life . ”

“…”
