Chapter 122
"Rin, shouldn’t you be faithful to me and Goddess Reba, as well as serve as a role model to the believers?”
The Vatican. Dozens of senior pdins and priests watched as one of Reba’s Daughters, Rin was questioned.
She dered, “This is a misunderstanding. My loyalty to Goddess Reba 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 mymands 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 thews to fill his own self-interests and defiled the honor of Goddess Reba.
The high priests were remorseful and tried to correct their mistake, but they weren’t sessful. Those who made anyments 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 Reba’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 priestsmented. Three of the strongest pdins fostered to guard the church were now protecting the worst pope. As long as Reba’s Daughters existed, the pope would remain alive until the end and the Reba Church would rot.
But now. Due to Drevigo’s endless desires, even Reba’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 Reba to see if I should submit to yourmands 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 mymands?”
“...Yes.”
“Why are you so simple?” The pope’s eyes widened as he shouted. "I am the agent of Goddess Reba! 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 reim Ikael’s Sword!”
At that moment, a quest notification window appeared in front of Damian, who was standing next to the high-ranking pdin and priest NPCs.
[Pope’s Decision]
Difficulty Level: SS
Reba’s Daughters are the absolute weapons of the Reba 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 amand.
Kill Reba’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 rece her.
Quest Clear Conditions: Rin’s death.
Clear Reward: Abilities awakening.
* You can exert the true abilities of a pdin of the Reba Church.
Quest Failure: Level -4. Divine Power will decrease by 10,000.
[Would you like to ept the quest?]
There were three types of pdins in Satisfy.
The most popr type of pdins 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 popr ss after the Reba priests.
Then there were the pdins of the Dominion Church.
They specialized in personal buff skills and had high attack power. They weren’t popr withrge scale parties and raids, but they were popr in small party hunting. In addition, their singlebat ability was the best among the pdins.
Thest were pdins of the Reba Church.
They were the only pdins who could use Heal. But they didn’t have buff skills. However, their amount of healing wasn’t high, so they weren’t popr in party hunting or raids. It was a ss that was only grudgingly epted when a priest couldn’t be found. They had no buff skills and theirbat ability was the weakest among the pdins.
They were much harder to find than pdins of other churches, and weren’t popr. It was rare to find a user who was a pdin of the Reba Church.
But wasn’t it strange? Reba’s Daughters were pdins, and not only that, they were the strongest among all NPC pdins. Thanks to their presence, Damian spected that a Reba pdin would be stronger if they broke through a certain point.
If he reached his second advancement, wouldn’t he be stronger than pdins of other churches? He thought for a bit before choosing to be a pdin of the Reba Church. However, he reached level 200 after much difficulty and didn’t find anything special. The pdins of the other churches were still better than pdins of the Reba Church.
Damian felt extreme disappointment and skepticism. But right now.
‘Abilities awakening...!’
It was the reward of his first SS-grade quest after ying Satisfy for over a year. If this quest was cleared and his abilities awakened, Damian was obviously going to be stronger as he originally anticipated. Damian had been waiting for this moment since he became a pdin of the Reba 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 pdin of the Reba Church. Damian had struggled to raise his level and divine power. Everyoneughed and called Reba’s pdins garbage, but Damian didn’t stop dreaming of the day his abilities would awaken.
Then a month ago, he became 2nd on the pdin 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 Reba’s Daughters for a long time, and was attracted by their beauty and charm. He ran a blog on the Inte praising Reba’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 pdins simultaneously armed themselves. They rushed towards Rin and Damian after receiving the pope’smand.
"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 ying 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 nced at her and replied. “Yes. I am beside Rin-chan. And Goddess Reba will surely protect us.”
At that moment, a new quest window emerged in front of Damian.
[Goddess’ Divine Punishment]
Difficulty: ss change quest.
Your choice to reject the corrupt pope’smand wasn’t wrong. Goddess Reba has blessed you.
As an agent of Goddess Reba, punish the corrupt pope!
Quest Progress Reward: Abilities awakening.

* The hidden ss change quest has the power to transform Satisfy’s world, ording to the result. Please be careful.
[Goddess Reba 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 be a hero.
“Drevigo! As an agent of Goddess Reba, I will deal out divine punishment! Light’s Blessing!”
[You and your party’s defense, attack power and uracy will increase by 80% for 3 minutes.]
"Ohhhhhh!"
Damian was surrounded by a golden light as he broke through the pdins 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 Reba was real. His overwhelming divine power wasparable to Reba’s Daughters. The power of light fired from his fingertip easily prated 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 tounch 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 pdins used their shields to block the darts. But the moment the darts hit the shields, an explosion urred 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.”
