The Saint Was the Devil’s Henchman

2 episodes

In the arms of a little boy was a wounded rabbit.

The boy’s bright blue fingertips wrapped around the rabbit’s injured leg.

Then, the deep wound that had bled was healed in an instant.

“Wow!”

“Really the rabbit is better!”

The children who watched the scene were all in admiration.

At that moment, the rabbit in the boy’s arms suddenly woke up.

The rabbit struggled with its legs and escaped from the boy’s arms.

“Ahh!”

Ethan, who missed the rabbit, looked at his forearm with an annoyed look.

Because the rabbit struggled and wounded his forearm.

‘You bastard who doesn’t even know grace. You saved me, but you dare to hurt me?’

If he had been in a previous life, rabbit claws would not have been able to hurt him, but now he is a child.

“Ethan is amazing!”

“You are the coolest among the brothers!”

Ethan sighed at the sight of the nosebleeds approaching him.

‘To rot in this beggar-like place for eight years.’

It had been eight years since he had awakened from his past life and grew up here.

In the meantime, he has grown up and has a rather muscular physique for a little boy.

That was then.

“Oh my, Ethan has done a wonderful job.”

Stella’s voice was heard from behind, and Ethan flinched.

“Stella-sama!”

“Stella Niem!”

The nosebleeds switched targets and ran to Stella.

When I turned around, Stella was coming this way with a smile.

The children clung to her legs.

“Pars-sama will be pleased with Ethan’s good deeds.”

“I told you to fix the rabbit first!”

“no! I saw the rabbit first!”

“I took the rabbit to Ethan’s brother!”

The children who were hungry for praise opened their mouths.

As the children said, Ethan saved the rabbit because the children were bothering him.

It wasn’t to build up good deeds.

Not knowing Ethan’s speed, Stella reached out to him.

‘You dare put your hand on my head?’

Ethan quickly avoided the hand.

But the young Ethan had short legs, and the adult Stella had long arms.

“It’s amazing to be able to use healing magic to perfection at this age to heal a living being.”

Kuk Kook Kook.

Stella eventually turned Ethan’s head into a magpie house.

‘f*ck.’

Ethan had a chewed expression on his face.

He was a compliment or something he didn’t like.

On the other hand, the young children also became dull at the same time.

Even if the monks took care of them, they were busy with their schedules.

So I couldn’t give you a lot of love.

As Stella keeps praising Ethan, he has followers and jealousies.

John, the same age as Ethan, pouted.

“I can do it if I study a little.”

“You can’t even read properly.”

“Are you ignoring me now?!”

“Gentlemen, don’t fight with each other. Pars-sama always wants you all to get along.”

Ethan was famous not only in this small monastery, but also in the nearby villages.

holy child.

miracle child.

He was in an underdeveloped region, and even the upper church knew him.

It was because of the divine power absorbed into his body when he was young.

The blessing ceremony of the key.

At first, the divine power that was supposed to kill Ethan was absorbed in a funny way, and then it was of great help to Ethan.

Thanks to that, Ethan was able to sense the divine power sensitively.

‘In the beginning, it was an energy that was opposite to magic, so I could feel it in my previous life, but… … .’

Magical power has divine power, and divine power has the property of rejecting, pushing, and destroying magical power.

So, naturally, Ethan, who was a magician, was able to sense the divine power to some extent.

Ethan looked down at his hand.

The sensation I felt when treating the rabbit came back to me.

‘It’s different now. In my previous life, I felt like I was just sensing a threat with my survival instinct, but now I feel like I’ve changed to deal with it.’

Then Stella called him.

“Ethan.”

“yes?”

“Would you like to follow me for a moment?”

At that, Ethan frowned.

‘what? Did she notice something?’

Every time he saw Stella, he was reluctant.

Seeing the face that resembled the saint who made him like this reminded me of what happened just before reincarnation and made me feel dirty.

“Stella, take us with you!”

“You’re only going to give sweets to Ethan?!”

“Fufufu, shall we all go together? I was about to teach Ethan more about divine magic.”

“Ahh! I hate studying!”

“Oh, come to think of it, I had something to run!”

When asked to study, the nosebleeds were disgusted and scattered all over the place.

Ethan was eventually dragged away by Stella.

“Come on in.”

Stella brought Ethan into her room.

The room was shabby and cold.

It was hard to believe that it was the place where the head of the monastery was staying.

It was the limit of the branch in the countryside.

Stella handed Ethan the blanket and sat down.

“Why did you call me?”

At Ethan’s question, Stella hesitated before opening her mouth.

“Ethan, in fact, every time you treat me with divine magic, something bothers me.”

“Is it possible that it felt similar to the rebirth of dark magic?”

“How do you do that? Oh, of course I believe in you! I’ve been watching you since you were a baby.”

Stella panicked and added.

Her doubts were natural.

The healing of divine magic is the practice of miracles based on faith.

It was as if the hand of God had touched and passed by, and the wounds were disappearing out of nowhere.

However, dark magic was different.

Based on anatomical knowledge, blood vessels, bones, and skin were gradually regenerated.

And it was largely a method only dark wizards did.

Ethan sighed deeply.

“Am I strange for a child? That’s why Stella-sama came up with that idea.”

I know it well.

Stella resisted wanting to answer that for a moment.

Actually, Ethan has matured quite a bit compared to his peers.

Then she suddenly came to her senses and waved her hand.

“Oh, it’s not… … .”

“Actually, I… … .”

Ethan nodded and pulled something out of his arms.

Stella swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

“I was studying secretly while reading this book.”

“book?”

What Ethan pulled out of his bosom was a crumpled bundle of paper.

Stella, who received it, read the text on the paper and went down.

“Hey, is this?”

Stella’s eyes widened.

“yes. I copied a book called ‘Fundamentals of Healing’ by St. Eileen.”

The basis of healing.

It was a book that contained the agony of a saint who healed the wounded.

Saint Eileen wanted to effectively take care of the wounded, but realized that there was a limit to just using holy magic.

Thus, she thought that even those who could not use divine magic should be able to heal people, so she wrote a book about what she gained.

Its simdeuk had nothing to do with the contents of anatomy.

Priest Stella was, of course, a familiar book.

But it was hard to believe that an eight-year-old child had learned this.

“How the hell do you do this?”

“I asked Uncle Jack. I didn’t have enough money to buy books, so I let them read them once a week.”

Stella remembered the peddler Jack.

He roamed the area selling various things, and she knew that books were not Jack’s merchandise.

“How did you even find out about this book?”

“I found a dog that was injured before, but I couldn’t save it. It hurt my heart so much that I searched for a way and found it.”

Ethan answered with a sullen face.

It must have been heartbreaking that the puppy could not be saved at that time.

“How!”

Stella admired Ethan’s kind heart.

‘This kid really lives up to the name of St. Ethan!’

It was clear that the hawker also found the child peculiar and brought him the book.

“That’s great, Ethan!”

Kuk Kook Kook.

Stella ruffled Ethan’s hair again.

‘No, this woman again?!’

Ethan screamed inwardly.

“I’m glad the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”

But on the outside, he was smiling as if embarrassed.

He hid his true intentions and rotted for 10 years under the Demon King.

It was not a big deal to shiver with hatred towards such a clumsy person.

‘I thought this was a bastard, but I mean, it’s subtly sharp.’

In any case, there was nothing I liked about the face of the damn saint.

Still, it was ironic that the book the saint left behind was rather helpful this time.

‘Well, it’s natural to doubt.’

In the first place, his method of using divine power was derived from the magic training method of dark magic.

So, the nature of dark magic had to be revealed.

Besides, it was difficult to break the habit of thinking.

Reincarnation does not mean that the knowledge of anatomy acquired in the previous life is lost.

So it was hard to believe that wounds could be healed simply by the miracles of God.

“Sacred magic is essentially the work of miracles through faith. But since I started to doubt the person I loved, it seems that I still lack training. I’m sorry, Ethan.”

“It is ridiculous that Stella-sama lacks faith. Don’t say that.”

The only thing Ethan could trust in the world was his knowledge.

It wasn’t like a god who didn’t even know it existed.

So, even if you used magic with divine power, it could not look like divine magic.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

He had been investigating the saint who made him this way.

Then, I was just reading the book written by the saint, who would have thought it would be so helpful?

wow.

Stella reached out and grabbed Ethan’s hand.

The light of doubt had completely disappeared from her eyes.

“But, just in case you don’t know, please don’t use healing magic in front of other people in the future. Do you know?”

“yes. I know.”

Ethan finally nodded at Stella’s new request.

* * *

Before returning to the room, Ethan stopped by the well.

It was to wash away the blood of the rabbit’s wounds.

‘In the future, in front of other people, do not use healing magic hastily.’

This time, Stella was right.

Ethan agreed.

‘Of course, I’ll use it when I’m in a car.’

One corner of Ethan’s lips rose sinisterly.

When someone had doubts about this, it was enough to mention Saint Eileen.

Because hiding your power doesn’t mean you won’t use it at all.

It was said that a bead must be threaded through a horse to be a treasure.

Do you rot without using what you have in your hand?

Stella was a priest, so she didn’t even know that she could think like that.

But Ethan didn’t.

‘Somehow, I have to build up a little more divine power through magic training… … .’

That was then.

Ethan moaned at the sudden pain in his left eye.

“Ugh!”

The bucket fell from Ethan’s hand as he was carrying the well water into the basin.

It was a sharp pain, as if an arrowhead had dug into his eye.

It didn’t look like it was bleeding even when I fumbled my eyes with my hand.

Ethan hurriedly looked at his face with the water he had received from the basin.

And he was startled by the reflection of his face in the water.

‘What the hell is this?!’

His originally blue eyes were dyed jet-black with only the left side.

It was the eyes of the Demon King.
