episode_0034

Time goes by.

Time passes slowly and painfully, but surely. With each passing second, my victory becomes clearer.

The poison coming in through blood absorption is being steadily neutralized, and the huge mass of bug larvae that continue to push me are somehow holding on through regeneration and absorption.

As I continued to stir-fry like that, about 20 minutes had passed before I knew it.

It’s already halfway done.

“Ugh!”

The Balkan guy grumbled, as if he was frustrated.

Well, I think I would get annoyed if it kept failing to break through even though it seemed like it would.

“This fucking guy! Now stop it and die! Die!!”

“···Why, are you starting to feel scared? The saint is gathering divine power behind you, but I can’t get through it?”

I laughed heartily even though my whole body was falling apart.

I felt half out of my mind. My whole body was in so much pain that I thought I was going to die, but laughter kept flowing out of me.

Because this is the first time I’ve seen that guy look so flustered.

I guess the guy really has no time to spare now.

Death was approaching him every moment, and now he was the same.

“You son of a bitch!”

Of course, it’s not like the guy didn’t throw a tantrum at all.

Balkan points at me and opens the flask on his waist. Most of the bugs have been consumed, but it seems that not all of the bugs inside the flask have been consumed.

Tens of thousands of locusts begin to pour out through the gaps in the open bottle.

Those disgusting locusts immediately latched onto my body and began to eat away at me.

That damn guy, since the poison didn’t work, now he’s trying to torment me with sheep.

An itchy, tingling sensation took over my whole body. Perhaps because of the durability enhancement, my skin didn’t break through much.

I looked at the guy with a smirk.

“Ha, did you think I could get through this?”

No, it actually turned out well.

I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try out a new skill while you’re at it.

By now my body was covered in blood.

In other words, the range in which magic can be used has greatly expanded.

Blood contains magical power.

That means you can use magic with it too.

[Use ‘Blood Power Replacement’!]

[Combined with the skill ‘Master of Poison’!]

[The blood you shed has acidic properties!]

Cheeek!

The swarm of locusts on my body began to melt away. A disgusting, shitty feeling greeted me as they turned to liquid, but it was better than the sting.

Blood power replacement.

A technique that uses blood itself as a magic circle by fusing it with the skills I have.

Although it cannot be used alone, it is a very good skill that greatly increases the efficiency and range of magic.

Additionally, I decided to use other skills as well.

“If you receive something, you must return it.”

If it hits this hard, the stack will be almost full.

[Use ‘Painful Memory’!]

Thud─!

Once again, a burst of physical force similar to that of the guy explodes.

“Keuh-eok!”

The bastard Chungwang screamed.

I laughed like a madman.

*

Boom! Bang! Crack!

A myth is unfolding in front of you.

The myth of a single man stopping a monster that destroyed a large city in one day.

It was truly a feat to be able to stop a giant the size of a castle with just a sword.

The sight was like watching a battle between heroes that we had only seen in history.

If a child who dreams of becoming a hero or a knight who values honor had seen it, their heart would have fluttered.

However, the saintess, who was the only spectator of the battle, felt her heart ache.

‘Hero······.’

The sight of a warrior struggling to protect himself. Of course, it was cool. It was great.

Even considering all the curses he carried, the sight was certainly worthy of admiration.

But it was so desperate.

‘Is there really a reason to be in so much pain…?’

Blood spurts and bones break.

The flesh would get crushed, and occasionally the internal organs would vomit out blood, as if they were injured. This process repeated itself over and over again.

Despite this, he never knelt down.

The pain he feels right now must be beyond his imagination.

His red eyes still burned with determination. No, rather, he used the black magic he had learned last time to pressure the bastard.

The saintess couldn’t help but feel helpless as she looked at that sight.

‘What the hell am I···.’

It’s so pitiful that I can’t give him any support while he struggles so hard in front of me.

The more this happened, the more she became determined. At times like this, there was only one thing she could do.

Just pray.

Wishing and wishing that one’s prayers will reach heaven.

‘Merciful Mother in Heaven.’

The divine power gradually grew in size. She prayed to the god with more earnest will than ever before.

‘Please have mercy on us···.’

Thud─!

Once again a huge bang rings out.

Luke used magic to crush the side of the goblin.

In contrast, the ogre, which had limited self-healing abilities, gradually accumulated wounds.

‘Please give us the courage to take another step forward…’

“Sacrifice my left hand to strengthen the following magic.”

Push!

Luke’s left hand was removed. Blood flowed out through the gap where it was cut. Luke did not stop the bleeding and instead headed straight for Vulcan.

The Vulcan on top of the demon’s head was instantly soaked in blood.

” Pida Daepo Lee Ki -ki.

Luke used the next spell in that state.

[Use ‘Blood Power Replacement’!]

[Combined with ‘Fireball’!]

[The blood you shed has the fire attribute!]

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blood turns to oil and begins to burn.

The hot heat caused a haze to form around them. Beyond it, the screaming figure of Chungwang could be seen.

‘Give us a handful of strength so that we can finally destroy evil.’

That took a long time.

How much time has passed?

Dawn finally began to break.

The dark night sky is driven away, and the sunlight illuminates the horizon. The sunlight is the mercy bestowed by the goddess.

The divine power that Yuris had gathered exploded and headed towards the sky.

There is a common misconception.

The saint is a character who can mainly only buff or heal.

no.

As far as Luke knew, no one was as difficult to deal with as the Saintess.

Shoooo···.

For a moment, some of her divine power was directed towards King Chung, and a strange pattern appeared above him.

The stigma of sin.

A skill that turns the opponent into an enemy of the world, giving additional damage to attacks of all attributes.

In fact, it could be said to be the saint’s highest level debuff skill, but

This wasn’t the main character today.

Kookookookook!

The sky gradually opens as dawn rises.

The clear sky was showing what was ‘above’ the sky.

A part of God.

More precisely, it is an attack by ‘her’.

A skill that brings about a divine strike through fervent prayer.

Divine punishment.

Her omnipotent hand will burn all the demons of the world.

Soon, a huge pile of debt began to fall from the sky towards Agui and Chungwang.

Hwaaah!!

That’s how the world became dyed white.

*

Beep beep beep-

I think I hear tinnitus.

The light coming down from the sky was warm and a little hot.

No matter how much Yulis was a member of the goddess’s household, it seemed that too much power could inevitably have an effect.

“···Hero!”

As soon as Yulis regained some vision, he immediately looked for Luke.

A dishtowel and a king?

I didn’t worry about that. From the moment I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the charred corpses of those guys.

More important than that is the warrior.

It’s okay, since you’re his subordinate. The party members were quite far away, so there shouldn’t have been any damage.

But the warrior was not like that.

Since I was at the closest range with the enemy, it was clear that I would have been caught up in it.

Although he marks his targets with the stigma of sin, his destructive power is not merciful enough to single out everything.

Sure enough, I looked around and saw a warrior unconscious with burns all over his body.

Judging by the ups and downs of his chest, he seemed to still be breathing. His breathing was a little unstable, perhaps because his lungs were burned.

“Hero!!”

As soon as she saw him, she ran straight to him.

As soon as I got closer, the smell of burning meat hit my nose.

Recovery is slow.

The skill ‘Regeneration’ was still in effect, but it seemed to be less efficient due to being overworked.

Startled, she immediately began healing.

Purification removes any remaining toxins from the body and helps the body heal with divine power.

My head was spinning, maybe because I used too much divine power today.

Even her divine power, as vast as the ocean, is beginning to show its limits when it is abused to this extent.

Every time she pulled light out of her body, she felt dizzy and her insides would twist. But she didn’t care and continued with the treatment.

This level of pain was nothing compared to what he had felt.

“Thank you for saving me···.”

It was a tough fight. It’s hard to put into words.

Her contributions were no small matter, but if I had to pick the number one, it would definitely be her.

It was he who came up with the plan, it was he who created the environment for growth, and it was he who held on, sacrificing his life for that one last chance.

If it weren’t for him, no one would be alive and breathing here now. Once again, I have received an unpayable favor.

“So come to your senses, please···.”

The saint sat there and continued to heal for a long time.

Of course, as time goes by, regeneration may take care of itself anyway.

But it didn’t matter. Right now, I just wanted to ease his pain a little.

It must have worked, as his breathing gradually began to stabilize. The stench of burnt meat in his nose gradually subsided, and the soot on his skin began to disappear.

At least we’ve overcome the crisis.

“Haa··· Thank goodness···!”

Relieved, she immediately hugged Luke.

It wasn’t something I thought about, it was an instinctive action. When people are really happy, don’t they want to hug something?

Still, when I go near him, I feel like bugs are crawling on me.

I ignored it. There were no bugs around anymore.

Still, whenever I come into contact with him, I am reminded of King Chung’s unpleasant skin and voice.

I ignored it. Now that King Chung has died a heroic death.

I just want to rest comfortably with him now.

Yulis felt Luke’s faint warmth and fainted.

A system window floated above Luke’s face as he slept soundly.

[Congratulations!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[The ‘Indomitable’ skill is created due to the amazing mental power!]

[Quest Accomplished!]

[Learn ‘Insect Art’!]
