Chapter 41: Witch Hunt (2)

“Everyone, do everything in your power to cooperate in finding out and judging all the evil that exists in this land.”

A powerful authority bestowed upon the pope of the Saint Empire.

divine decree.

At the same time as this authority was activated, the arithmetic circuit of Alice, an artificial intelligence system, began to operate busily.

[The pope’s holy decree is activated.]

[Contradiction occurs.]

[Analysis of priorities….Emergency measures are activated.]

[Continental law is temporarily nullified.]

Love and love from game companies, even though they are wicked and criminals, are guaranteed safety within the village. System settings full of consideration. However, Pope Amen of the Holy Empire cruelly threw that love and consideration into the gutter.

[All conditions required to activate the linked quest are fulfilled.]

[The linked quest ‘Witch Hunt’ begins.]

And Alice gave all users one quest at the same time.

A quest to become the nucleus of a huge storm that will cause great wounds and damage.

“Hey, aren’t you going to buy an item?”

The black magician Black Flame Dragon of Darkness returned from hunting. He tried to sell the japtem he got from hunting at the general store, but he was annoyed by the store owner standing still, sweating as if embarrassed.

“Yes….? Ah… Wait a minute. Do some calculations first.”

“Oh, what are you counting? Usually, he just gave me the money right away.”

“Ah… I have a headache today. Please wait a moment…”

The shop owner strangely continues to drag out his time. It looked strange as if waiting for something, but the Black Flame Dragon of Darkness still didn’t know what was going on.

[Main Scenario Act. 1 The forgotten darkness link quest has started.]

[The link quest ‘Witch Hunt’ has started.]

“Huh? Linked quest?”

At the sudden announcement of the start of the quest, the Black Flame Dragon of Darkness raised its eyes wide. Not a simple quest, but a quest linked to the main scenario. Knowing what this meant, he hurriedly checked the contents of the quest and shouted in surprise.

“What is this?”

[Linked Quest Witch Hunt]

An evil lich argamer who dyed the continent in darkness in the past. Traces of his resurrection have been found again. As a result, everyone on the continent is working together to bring justice to the remnants of evil. Fight against it or help.

[Victory Conditions]

Holy camp

-Judgement of the wicked (0/50000000)

-Exterminate the rich argamer (0/1)

Evil camp

-????

-????????

< You belong to the evil faction. >

A quest that suddenly came to me. It was also a problem that the victory condition was not written, but the black flame dragon of darkness was shocked to see the victory condition of the opposite camp, the castle camp.

“How much is that? 50 million?”

The victory condition is to judge no less than 50 million wicked people.

This was a huge number that could be said to be the majority of the population of Korea.

“No, out of the blue, what kind of quest is this?”

No matter how much it was, I started to hear a loud sound from outside the store at the time when I was extremely embarrassed by the quest that flew in unexpectedly.

Quaang.

Those who entered the store kicking hard. It was none other than the guards, who were everywhere and nowhere in charge of the security of the village.

“Hey there you!”

“Me?”

A group of guards approaching fiercely with great vigilance. The Black Flame Dragon of Darkness wondered at their unfamiliar reaction and asked.

“Yes you! Where is the evil warlock roaming the town!”

“What is that…?”

“Just now, the Holy Father, the Holy Father, made a proclamation to all continents. Catch all the evil hordes! That is, I will judge all the hordes of evil warlocks like you! what are you doing! Catch me right now!”

“This crazy …..”

The guards approached slowly while aiming their spears in an extremely aggressive posture. The Black Flame Dragon of Darkness, who had been walking backwards to avoid them, found the store owner who had disappeared somewhere and realized the reason for his strange behavior earlier.

“How the hell is things going…?”

Although the situation was not fully grasped, it was natural to be caught by the guards and go through all sorts of hardships. The Black Flame Dragon of Darkness hesitated for a moment before activating the skill.

“Dark Swarm.”

The strongest wide-area skill he possesses.

Faaaaaaat –

At the same time, a black fog filled the shop. The guards screamed in agony in the black fog.

“Aagh! This evil warlock is finally showing his true colors!”

“Evil groups like you will not find rest even in death!”

The guards collapse in gray, pouring out all sorts of curses and curses. Fortunately, the level of the guards wasn’t high, so they couldn’t compete with the Black Flame Dragon of Darkness, who is said to be the strongest among black magicians.

[The guard of Guil Village was killed.]

[All NPCs in Guil Village are hostile to the player.]

[Other guards pursue the player.]

[Penalty is increased upon death. Be mindful of your play.]

“Haa…. This is a headache.”

An unwritten rule among users who commit all kinds of evil.

It was that even if all other NPCs were fine, the guards should not be touched.

-Never kill the guards. The more you kill them, the stronger they chase after you.

-In addition, even in the village, the guards are looking for them like catching mice, so you can never set foot in that village again.

-If you kill a guard and get caught, you get a heavy punishment and a huge penalty. Equipped items are also confiscated and the detention period is only 30 days.

If you kill a guard and get caught, you will be sentenced to one month in prison with confiscation of equipped items. Because the penalty was literally received in the special edition platinum version, no matter how evil the users were, they didn’t touch the guards. However, due to the situation, the Black Flame Dragon of Darkness annihilated not one, but all five guards.

“For now… let’s run away.”

situation that has already happened. Anticipating that he would not be able to see anything better if he wandered around here, the Black Flame Dragon of Darkness put on a hood and sneaked out of the store. Dark Flame Dragon didn’t know, but he was very lucky.

* * *

Arpendia where all situations in Arcadia are uploaded in real time.

Strange articles began to appear on the bulletin board there.

-You guys, the guards are strange. All of a sudden, kids are killing users.

-Not just the guards. In the village where I am, the priests who love sexual organs from the church are roaming around and attacking users?

-?? what? Did the NPCs suck drugs as a group?

Numerous questions from users who don’t know the situation yet. Those who could not connect were confused by the fragmentary information coming up, but soon numerous stories of experiences began to pour in.

-Evil propensity users, do not access the game now. If you come in now, look for it.

-Ah what is it? The first paladin NPC I’ve ever seen suddenly kills me. Fallen beings are said to follow?

-How can humanity be so corrupted that it kills you the first time you see it?

-Well… I did steal a lot in the game. But does that kill you too?

From black magicians, dark knights, thieves, and other jobs with evil tendencies to normal jobs that have accumulated even a little bit of evil. All of the NPCs turned hostile and started attacking. And this situation only got worse as time went on.

“Receive Heavenly Judgment! Holy Smite!”

“Quaaaaaagh!”

[The wicked were judged righteously for the first time.]

[The Holy Church values your feat.]

[Faith has risen by 1.]

[After the judgment on the wicked is over, you can receive special rewards according to your contribution. .]

“What is it…?”

A town that is obviously neutral and peaceful for everyone. Despite killing other users in the village, there was no restraint. Rather, it was the villagers who spared no praise for him.

“thank you! Holy Knight!”

“Ah… after all, God always sends messengers for us.”

“mister! thank you!”

Even children come to them, give flowers, and shout out their thanks over and over again. Seeing this, the users of the holy faction realized that this moment was the time to take revenge on those who had done evil and showed extreme shamelessness in the neutral village.

“The time of judgment has come! These damn PK criminals!”

“Where did the bastard who just ran after hitting my prey go!”

“Disposal! Punishment! Referee! Referee!”

“Let’s change jobs to high priest now! You damn warlocks!”

All kinds of bad manners that sexual users have suffered so far. However, because of the reputation they have built up so far, there are many restrictions on their actions, so they have not been able to behave recklessly. However, the shackles that were bound by this linked quest were released and they started to run wild like unbridled colts.

“I found a thief over there!”

“Ughhhh! I’m a rogue who changed jobs yesterday. Help me!”

Beginner users who have just finished changing jobs. Those who hadn’t even done anything that could be called evil yet ran away in fright when they saw those running with hideous maces and staffs.

“There is no forgiveness for those who want to walk the path of the wicked! Holy Bind!”

“Quek.”

A bondage spell thrown by someone. The novice rogue who was properly hit by the spell collapsed on the floor, and a group of priests and paladins slowly walked towards him while letting out a sinister laugh.

“Oh don’t come! If you touch even one hair, I will report it to customer service!”

“Cheuk… Reporting?”

They exchanged glances with each other and laughed loudly, as if they were looking at a cute angtal.

“Let’s report it somewhere. Didn’t you see the quest? You are telling the users of the castle camp to bring down the judgment of God on the wicked. The game company is urging you to do it, but do you think they will listen to your complaint?”

“That’s like that…”

Tears welled up in his eyes as he was shaken as if he was shocked, but those who caught him didn’t take it easy.

“Now…then you must be ready to die now, right?”

A rookie rogue who just started playing the game yesterday and happily entered the world of adventure. In the last moment before dying, the cruel paladin’s last words came to him like a whisper.

“If you twist it, you will become a paladin too.”

* * *

[The linked quest ‘Witch Hunt’ has been created.]

[You have been designated as one of the main players in the quest.] [

Choose one of the castle camps and the evil camps and play the appropriate role.]

“…. What else is this?”

A message suddenly popped up in front of Jaeyoung, who was heading somewhere after leaving the estate of the Duke of Bergen. He read the contents of the quest and lost his words in absurdity.

“what? ar gamer? Why is this name suddenly appearing here?”

Jae-young intuition that something huge is happening that he doesn’t know about. Tan behind him frowned and shouted at Jaeyoung as if he was annoying.

“Haa… I’m so fucking pissed off again… Ah, that’s why I told you to do it in moderation!”

“…what do you do in moderation?”

Jaeyoung is confused because he doesn’t know the English language. However, Tan scratched his head and vomited out his resentment.

“Ah-oh! Those goddamn chicken wing idiots get really tired when their eyes roll. hey! L! Can’t you mediate a little bit?”

“…Heng. why me?”

“ah! It’s not like we did anything weird. The owner just used our power, so do we have to go this far?”

“Um… yes. Should I? Are you planning to watch your family get wiped out?”

“hey! Do you think we can just watch it?”

“What if I can’t see you? intervene? So will we intervene?”

“kid…. hey!”

Unlike L who couldn’t hold back his smile as if he was in a good mood, Jaeyoung heard everything from Tan who was restless and flustered. He finally came to a realization when he saw Michael who was excited and even hummed.

An angel who sincerely likes and enjoys even at this moment when a one-sided massacre is taking place.

A demon bent over and sweating profusely to try to save his people somehow.

The big realization that maybe angels are truly worse than demons.
