Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 291

291. Puppet Lord (4)

‘What about me? What did he analyze as my weakness?’

Rembrary quietly waited for the Puppet Lord’s next words.

“……”

However, the Puppet Lord kept his mouth shut and only rolled his eyes from side to side. It was clear he had nothing to say.

‘This can’t be.’

Rembrary was slightly shocked by his attitude.

“Face?”

The Puppet Lord reluctantly said anything, and Rembrary received a second shock.

Of course, it was true that he was very handsome, but his value wasn’t *just* in his face. Rembrary was sure that he was a sacred, great, and respectable holy being.

A handsome face was just one aspect of it, so he shouldn’t just throw out ‘Face?’ like that. And after picking and choosing his strengths, he chose ‘Face?’ It wasn’t even ‘Face!’, but ‘Face?’

“Haha.”

Conversely, the Lion Lord, stuck to the ceiling, ridiculed the Puppet Lord in an unnatural way.

“You pretended to be a great analyst, but you couldn’t even analyze one of Remb’s strengths and weaknesses.”

The Puppet Lord’s expression crumpled, and the Lion Lord, even more satisfied, chuckled and pointed his finger.

“Remb’s strength is!”

“……”

“……”

But when the Lion Lord stopped talking there and fell silent, Rembrary received a third shock. Why did he suddenly become quiet here?

To Sagamjae, all of this seemed truly childish. An enemy pretending to be an analyst but failing to analyze the maximum power, or an ally trying to ridicule that enemy but tripping over his own feet.

“What kind of foolishness is this?”

In the end, Sagamjae frowned and opened his mouth, unable to watch any longer.

“Rembrary-nim’s strength is……”

However, when Sagamjae suddenly fell silent and omitted the rest of his words, Rembrary received a fourth shock. Why did he stop talking halfway through?

In fact, the Puppet Lord really didn’t know, so he couldn’t speak, but the Lion Lord kept his mouth shut to be considerate of Rembrary. He thought Rembrary’s power was eye recovery. Since healer-type abilities hadn’t appeared since Woo Yeon-woo, he thought it should be kept secret.

Sagamjae kept his mouth shut for this reason, plus the fact that Rembrary was a saint from another world. However, from Rembrary’s point of view, he couldn’t help but think, ‘Was I that insignificant?’

“So, it’s really the face.”

Then, when the Puppet Lord smiled triumphantly and asked, “A mascot, right?” Rembrary, enraged, slowly rose and muttered.

“I have no choice. Now that it’s come to this, I have no choice but to show the power of this body.”

The Puppet Lord, ever the analyst, raised his eyebrows. All he had gleaned about the blond handsome man was, ‘I suddenly became afraid when I saw him.’

Emotion-related awakeners were rare, but even if they had power, they weren’t very strong. Rather, if one had strong mental strength, they could overcome it even if they exerted their power, so they were treated as somewhat weak.

That’s why the Puppet Lord couldn’t properly analyze Rembrary’s power either. But when he stood up, saying that in a chilly tone, he unknowingly swallowed hard. Did he have a hidden ability?

A villager who had been hurt by Rembrary once, tied to a rock, trembled and shouted, “It’s dangerous! Everyone, run away! That person is!” The workers, unable to escape because they were caught by the lord, also trembled and watched Rembrary.

But Rembrary didn’t stop, and he stood up completely and walked towards the table. Seeing this, the Puppet Lord quickly used his ability to control Rembrary as well, but strangely, Rembrary was not captured by his control.

‘So, he has a trick up his sleeve.’ The Puppet Lord swallowed hard, nervous.

“Shimmer of God.”

Then, when Rembrary muttered, the sound of someone blowing wind directly into his eardrums was heard, and all the lights went out.

“Aaaaaah!”

“What is it!”

“Scary…!”

At that moment, everyone was surprised.

“!”

A brilliant halo began to shine from Rembrary. The sight was so sacred and beautiful that he looked like an angel descended from heaven.

‘That’s……!’

‘Amazing. Beautiful!’

People trembled, but when they saw Rembrary, they unknowingly admired him and opened their mouths. It was truly a sight that made them automatically say ‘Angel-nim’ [Angel-like being].

‘Cool…… but is that all?’

‘An ability to shine alone?’

‘Glow?’

But the things that people feared and expected didn’t happen. No screaming attacks or shadows running wild and attacking.

Sagamjae frowned as he watched Rembrary just standing there quietly and shining alone.

‘So, he’s even more like a mascot.’

The Puppet Lord also stopped being afraid and tilted his head.

‘So, his face *is* his ability?’

But it wasn’t. The real scary thing about this ability wasn’t the beauty of making others dark and shining alone. The real effect of this ability was……

“Praise me.”

It was to completely lose the will to attack from the opponent. It couldn’t be used casually like the majesty of God; it took a bit of activation time, and it had the disadvantage that everyone could tell who the user was.

As Rembrary approached, shining, the stone monster was just staring blankly at Rembrary. The lord tried to control the monster, but it didn’t work.

“So, that was his ability.”

The Puppet Lord, who belatedly realized that Rembrary’s ability wasn’t *just* shining, clicked his tongue, but it was already too late.

In the meantime, Rembrary easily approached the stone monster and rescued the person tied to the monster.

“Thank you?”

The person Rembrary rescued was dazed and kept bowing repeatedly. He was grateful to be rescued by the person he had attacked, but he seemed very confused.

But Rembrary’s actions didn’t end there.

“Puppet Lord.”

Rembrary placed one hand on the stone monster, slowly turned his body, and called the lord.

At that cold and indifferent voice, the lord moved his hand to control the villagers to attack Rembrary, but all the villagers just staggered strangely when they got close to Rembrary and couldn’t attack properly.

Seeing this, Rembrary smiled and this time put his other hand on the shoulder of the person he had rescued.

“I’ve secured a hostage. Now it’s your turn to suffer.”

The moment the Puppet Lord swallowed hard, nervous at those words.

“Go!”

Rembrary picked up the person he had rescued and threw him at the lord.

“Aaaaaah!”

As the hostage flew away, Sagamjae was dumbfounded and shouted.

“Why are you throwing him after rescuing him!”

The Puppet Lord chuckled and easily manipulated the hostage to stop flying in the middle. As the hostage floated in the air, the Puppet Lord smiled slightly and mocked Rembrary.

“That person’s ability is amazing, but it seems more suitable for a circus. It’s not very effective in battle……”

But before he could finish speaking.

The moment the hostage floating in the air fell to the ground, the Puppet Lord made eye contact with Rembrary, who had approached the back of the hostage in the meantime, and knew.

The moment the eyes containing God’s majesty met the lord’s eyes. The Puppet Lord, seized with fear, lost all strength in his body, and all the villagers and monsters who had been held captive fell to the ground.

The Lion Lord also came loose from the ceiling and fell onto the table with a thud.

“Oh, come on!”

The Lion Lord protested, but Rembrary silently approached the Puppet Lord, grabbed his collar with one hand, and held out the early dismissal consent form with the other.

‘A loan shark……’

Sagamjae thought Rembrary looked like a loan shark, but he didn’t bother to express it out loud. Because there was no need to.

“I have no choice.”

Anyway, the Puppet Lord reluctantly took the pen and was about to sign the consent form when.

“You can’t go in!”

With someone’s dissuading voice and the door bursting open, Shin Jo-woon suddenly appeared.

‘What’s that again?’

Sagamjae was waiting for his turn to take care of his business after Rembrary had received all the signatures, but he frowned at Shin Jo-woon’s sudden appearance.

He had seen Shin Jo-woon a few times while working as Woo Yeon-woo’s manager, but after Rembrary left Woo Yeon-woo’s body, he had never met Shin Jo-woon. But when Shin Jo-woon suddenly appeared in a place like this, he wondered what was going on.

“You can’t go in!”

Moreover, the lord’s subordinates, who were following behind Shin Jo-woon, also looked embarrassed.

“Rembrary Trainee!”

Even in the midst of all this, Rembrary was only focused on getting the signature, but when Shin Jo-woon coldly called from behind, he finally looked back.

Rembrary, who belatedly discovered Shin Jo-woon, frowned.

“Why are you here?”

Sagamjae thought, ‘Did he come after making an appointment with the fake saint?’ But when Rembrary looked at Shin Jo-woon with a puzzled expression, he raised his eyebrows, thinking that wasn’t the case either.

But whether Sagamjae was puzzled or Rembrary was embarrassed, Shin Jo-woon strode forward and approached Rembrary’s side.

In fact, even though it wasn’t well expressed on his face. Even if Sagamjae and Rembrary were surprised, Shin Jo-woon was probably the most surprised.

While examining the broken car. Shin Jo-woon heard a precarious and suspicious sound and hurriedly ran to the lord’s mansion.

There were very suspicious people collapsed in front of the mansion.

The most unusual person was a person squatting in a truck, clutching a microphone, and humming Wild Animal’s Woo Yeon-woo’s solo hit song, but strangely, he kept singing and crying that he was wrong.

That person only repeated that he didn’t know even when Shin Jo-woon asked ‘whether the lord or Rembrary is inside’.

The situation is more serious than I thought! I thought he was fine because there were traces of food, but what on earth happened……?

Shin Jo-woon was startled and went inside the mansion. Then, in the hallway, there was a person in a suit collapsed and flailing.

When he asked why, he suddenly said that his limbs had regained their freedom and the feeling was strange. Not knowing what he meant, he froze the walls around him and repeatedly asked if a blond, handsome trainee and a naked lion had passed by here, the person stood up and pointed in a direction.

So, he followed that direction and came……

“Rembrary Trainee.”

Rembrary was grabbing the Puppet Lord’s collar and threatening him to sign the paper right away. He thought he had been kidnapped.

Moreover, the naked lord wearing a lion mask was watching the situation while lying on the table. Isn’t he really crazy?

The man sipping coffee alone nearby was even Woo Yeon-woo’s old road manager.

‘What is this?’

The more he thought about it, the more his head ached, and Shin Jo-woon frowned and checked the paper that Rembrary had handed to the lord.

It seemed like a very dangerous paper based on the atmosphere, but fortunately, it was an early dismissal consent form. Shin Jo-woon was dumbfounded and coldly asked Rembrary.

“What on earth are you doing?”

But Shin Jo-woon’s embarrassment was *his* situation. Rembrary found it even stranger that Shin Jo-woon suddenly appeared after the situation was resolved and asked what he was doing, acting all high and mighty.

“I’m getting a signature. I have to leave early.”

“Rembrary Trainee. An early dismissal consent form is a signature you get by getting consent that you are good enough to leave early, not by threatening to get a signature.”

The Puppet Lord, grabbed by the collar, quickly nodded, and Rembrary released the lord’s collar and asked.

“Then what should I do? I have already verbally demanded that he hand over the signature once. But this person didn’t listen. So, I verbally demanded it a second time. But instead of giving me the signature, this person tied up the Lion Lord and hung him up, and ridiculed me that all I had was my face.”

“What? Is he a pervert?”

When Shin Jo-woon pointed at the Puppet Lord, the lord hurriedly shook his head.

Rembrary shrugged, Shin Jo-woon sighed and shook his head, and Rembrary, seeing this, protested fiercely.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

“That’s *not* how you get a signature on the consent form.”

Shin Jo-woon seemed to think Rembrary was more foolish than he thought, so he was disappointed and took out his business card.

Then, he placed the business card on the signature paper and handed it to the Puppet Lord, and the lord took it without thinking and widened his eyes.

‘Shin Jo-woon! World Boom CEO! High-end rank hunter!’

The surprised lord quickly signed and handed it to Shin Jo-woon.

Shin Jo-woon confidently received the signature paper and looked down at Rembrary and asked.

“That’s how you get it. Do you understand?”
