The Shepherds Are Dense – Chapter 613

Chapter 612
Eivass: Kill them!
As Helchin preached, the Pegasus obediently walked over and stood behind him.
He reached out and placed his hand on the Pegasus’s head, raising his voice and saying, “We firmly believe that the cause of the Mediator is righteous! We fight for those other than ourselves, fight for those who do not know us!
“Because of this, if faced with a choice between an incorrect life and a correct death, I will choose the latter.
“Yes, brothers and sisters. The giants are very powerful and difficult to defeat. And behind them is the Supreme Heaven—the God of Supreme Divinity, the God of Infinite Might. If we fight to the end, we will all be destroyed by the palm strike of the Supreme Heaven.
“I never lie, and this time is an exception. Yes, I lied.
“To my wife, I said this was just an investigation. After this investigation, I would go back and wait for my child to be born. But I knew well that I wouldn’t be able to go back.
“—I am a flag! Everyone is watching me, I am the avatar of the ‘Mediator’!
In her voice was full of expectation.
Although at this time, Helchin’s wife was pregnant…
…The “Mediators” of this era seem to be somewhat different from the “Mediators” of Eivass’s era. Their actions are more extreme, and they even actively resort to force.
As Eivass threw the Night Demon card, accompanied by dark purple lightning and black whirlwinds, the Night Demon, which gave a sense of refinement and fragility, emerged from the vortex and flew beside Eivass.
“Someone has to live to convey all of this; someone has to remember our deaths.”
“…Finally, I finally waited for this day…”
As Eivass’s mind moved, the Pegasus landed first after flying far away.
Although this promotion was an Eclipse Ritual, Eivass actually used his Demon Scholar profession to promote. This was a job change from Transcendent Path level three to four.
The only problem was that Eivass had not gone through the waiting room. Therefore, he did not know how long this promotion mission would take.
And now, it had reached a critical turning point.
Helchin did not speak, and they obeyed the order and remained silent.
As Eivass gave the order, the Pegasus spread its wings.
It stepped on light and flew directly from the ship.
It was not that people could not accept it.
“If I retreat here, it will be equivalent to bringing war upon the Church; and if I apologize for my actions to mediate war, it will be equivalent to disgracing the name of righteousness!
Saying so, Eivass reached out and took the reins of the Pegasus beside him.
Rather, he directly summoned the Night Demon—
“Here, someone once fought in blood, for those other than themselves—
Because what Helchin pursued was originally something too idealistic. If it were practiced, there would only be two results—failure or death.
“So far, I have crossed countless battlefields and mediated countless disputes. I come to judge right and wrong, mediate disputes, and stop war and death.
After flying into the sky, Eivass truly realized how large this ship was—if it were used to transport troops, one ship could easily transport over two hundred people.
After his preaching, the deck was still silent.
Viness sighed, and two lines of blood tears flowed from her eyes.
This was a very reasonable question.
But undoubtedly… Helchin’s speech even affected Eivass.
“I know that until the end, we are destined not to be able to eliminate the sins on this island. But I will never retreat.
“In my name, I remove all your restrictions! No need to worry! It’s time to go on a killing spree, show me your power!
“Kill these giants!”
“This is a good thing, brothers and sisters. Humans are beginning to question the atrocities of the giants and look at our faces! If I retreat home at this time, it means the Elves have chosen cowardice, it means righteousness has hesitated! Then they will also be cowardly and hesitate!
“So I will fight to the end.
“—Naturally, killing, Viness.”
His previous mediation was because they stood in a position of absolute advantage. Compared to races like humans and Lizardmen, the Elves, with their abundant inheritance, were undoubtedly a “higher race.” Just like giants and dragons, they were strong from birth.
“I will do my best, until death.”
The terrifying aura emanating from the Night Demon startled the Pegasus under Eivass, causing it to fall into an uncontrollable state, flying unsteadily, and on the verge of crashing—
He didn’t know if this ritual would last one day or many days, nor did he know if it would pass the night.
Blood rain dripped down like light rain—viscous drops of blood fell on Eivass, making Helchin’s originally resolute face appear ferocious and terrifying.
Under that expectation, he had no excuse to turn his face away. Even if his wife was really pregnant, this was not an excuse. But he had to express his stance at this time and could not retreat.
The pure white horse with swan wings shone under the sun. It reverently lowered its head, allowing Eivass to ride it.
As she unfurled her wings, the sky suddenly darkened, and a scarlet Blood Moon rose.
The aura on her body became increasingly dangerous, and the black mist entwined around her became increasingly dense and dangerous.
And people’s question at this time was: if Helchin’s target of punishment was not weaker than him, but a giant as strong as him, or even stronger, would he still act as he said?
Looking up from below, one could see a giant black vortex appearing in the sky. And that Blood Moon was the “opening” in the center of the vortex.
When someone commits evil and is powerless to punish, if he and his followers descend here, they will fight for this injustice. He will seek justice for the oppressed.
The moment he held the reins, he and the Pegasus achieved telepathic connection.
Eivass, riding the Pegasus and flying in the sky, declared like a god, “Kill all the giants you see, kill all the giants within your blood rain range, kill all the giants you can kill.
“—And undoubtedly, Helchin could in no way defeat the Kingdom of Giants.
At this time, Eivass, who entered the ritual by transcending the Path, had no healing ability. Therefore, he could not use illumination or purification to disperse the fear.
Eivass said, looking at the Elves who picked up their armor and walked towards him, and smiled and waved, “I’ll be back later… I’ll go light for now.
“I will attack, I will invade, I will die! I am responsible for my actions, and I will not bring disaster upon anyone. I walk my own path, buried here after the battle, and beheaded after defeat! But I will fight to the end!
“Friends, brothers and sisters. My fellow travelers—listen to me!
“—Although Helchin is still alive… in a sense, ‘Helchin’ is already dead.
Perhaps it was because the signs of petrification disease had already appeared on him… he wouldn’t live long even if he retired. He didn’t want to fight his whole life only for everything to turn into nothing.
Alternatively, Helchin simply wanted to practice his own path; or perhaps both.
Therefore, Eivass chose another path.
Therefore, Eivass did not choose to strengthen his Great Sin through the method of “fusing cards.”
“Listen to me! I will leave a clean name here, so that the sword of justice may be wiped with blood and shine brightly! If anyone claims in the future that the Mediator is just a bully who picks on the weak, you may utter my name!
Eivass looked at these followers and added with a sigh:
“—And you don’t have to be like this.
“Incomplete justice is compromise! Justice that is skilled at compromise is no different from brutality!
As a delicate aroma of sandalwood and jasmine blended together emanated from Eivass, the Pegasus’s pupils soon appeared with a pinkish-purple outline. It stabilized again and reconnected with Eivass’s consciousness.
“My Master…”
He is the punisher of justice.
Quite the opposite—everyone’s eyes shone like bonfires.
Night Demon Viness opened her eyes and let out an ethereal, hoarse, and echoing voice, “I heard your speech just now. So, what should I do now?”
The evil deeds of the giants began to be known and valued by people. And at this time, everyone was watching the attitude of the “Mediator” and “Helchin.”
But he had no choice—he could not choose silence at this time.
“Helchin” is not just a person, but a mark, a symbol.
Helchin said resolutely.
Eivass did not know why he chose this.
And Eivass, who had returned to Helchin’s body, had realized what had happened from Helchin’s previous speech.
People gazed at Helchin as if looking at a walking god.
“I’ll go ahead and scout the way, brothers and sisters. You can consider who wants to stay and who wants to go back. Someone has to leave… to bring the last letter back for the other brothers and sisters.”
“And now, people are looking at the Kingdom of Giants, Arktos.
“—Let’s go!”
And Helchin calmly chose death.
In the blink of an eye, he flew away from the giant ship.
Her voice gradually became hoarse and sharp, with a metallic quality: “I will do my best… My Master.”

A bit tired, just a heads-up, I plan to take a day off on the 15th to rest…
