episode_0052

The fight between me and the monster began, leaving Vasas behind, who was surprised by my appearance.

It is a monster with a great attack that would melt if it didn’t have divine power, but its other fighting abilities are at the level of a newborn baby.

It’s an opponent we can definitely beat.

A right hand flying in a large arc. To me, it just looked like an opening.

puck!

“Kekeke!!”

The monster with a face that looked like it was in pain staggered back from its spot. I followed her and took a step forward as the distance between us grew wider.

The monster backed away again with a face that seemed to be filled with fear. This monster did not arouse my resentment or anger. It would have been easy if it had no expression like those monsters over there.

I also saw this scene when I fought Aster.

The emotions were so visible that it was frustrating. Every time I hit that monster, the guilt inside me grew.

But if I don’t end it here, the soldiers on the lower floors will definitely be in danger. No matter what, it’s best for me to end it.

I took a deep breath and got into position.

I clenched my fist harder so that I wouldn’t lose my strength due to guilt. The monster was terrified, but didn’t move backwards.

No, I couldn’t.

“You call this ambitious work? Don’t joke around.”

The monster couldn’t go back to the story of Vasas, who was full of rage. I don’t know if it didn’t go because of his instructions or because it was afraid of that guy’s rage.

Whatever it was, it was good news for me that I couldn’t escape in the end.

“Aster… If you were dead, go quietly. Forcing me to watch this boring fight… If you were alive, I would have killed you!!”

‘Just wait. You’re next.’

I stepped forward with my front paw and threw a punch. I don’t think I’ll die like this though.

After all, it’s a human body, so it won’t be able to move for a while.

The moment I was about to strike the monster with all the strength I could muster.

The expression on Vasas’ face changed as he expressed his anger by grabbing his hair. He smiled and snapped his fingers.

As soon as he signed, a black liquid came out of the monster’s mouth.

The liquid started to stick to me in an instant, blocking the punch I had thrown. I hastily got away from the monster and tore the liquid off my hand. However, the liquid continued to multiply and did not fall off.

The power of this liquid, which seemed like it shouldn’t stick at first glance, was quickly apparent without having to wait too long.

“That liquid is a divine power-sucking liquid created to prepare for guys like you.”

“Did you aim for this from the beginning?”

“Yeah, so don’t let your strength go too low. You won’t fall off until you suck out all the divine power inside you anyway.”

‘Fuck… ‘

It’s ridiculous to mess up something in such a good atmosphere… Even thinking about it again, it’s ridiculous. Even though I don’t believe in God, I still have this position.

If you have the profession of a priest and the rank of a duke, you should be able to use it indefinitely! This is why I don’t believe in God.

As if the divine power inside my body was slowly being sucked out, the movement of the liquid that had been moving violently became dull. And then finally, the liquid fell out of my body.

“Looking at the amount of liquid that fell, the concentration of divine power is definitely high. But the amount isn’t that much, right? It was absorbed faster than I thought.”

I never thought that I would end up like this so easily. If I had been a little more careful, this probably wouldn’t have happened.

I sighed.

“Now it’s all over, you idiot.”

“I think so.”

“I didn’t think you’d give up so easily. It doesn’t matter. I should be down by now.”

Vasas smiled and snapped his fingers, causing black fog to rise around him.

“I won’t take that woman as a gift. Then.”

Black fog rose up to his face and covered his entire body.

“Survive hard.”

After leaving those words, Vasas took all the monsters with him except the one in front of me and left.

Should I call this fortunate? Or should I say it’s unfortunate that I’m dying?

Still, I think I can last a few minutes with this monster.

Judging from his actions, he’s like a newborn baby running towards me. If I keep avoiding what I should avoid, I’ll end up dying.

It might be of some help to the people down there, although I’m not sure if it’ll beat Vasas.

Because it’s better to have one difficult opponent than two.

I steeled my resolve and looked at the monster in front of me. All I had to do was follow it as it moved. It was that simple.

As much as I can without touching Ilya…!

“Khhh!!”

Chewy—

It wasn’t visible.

Logs’ pupils trembled strongly. It was a monster that showed off a speed I had never seen before, as well as martial arts that were on a whole other level than before.

Logs realized.

Everything that was shown earlier was an act. Logs calmed down in a situation where he could have been shocked.

And this situation was sorted out.

The monster in front of me is of high level skill. It is not at a level that I can easily play with in terms of martial arts, and it is even more impossible in terms of speed.

But the writhing in pain wasn’t acting. What it means is that pain is felt.

It’s strange that you don’t feel it when the creator is a crazy guy named Aster.

Then it’s a change of plans. I’m so sick of the pain that I can’t go.

You were the one who deceived me first. Now I can go seriously without any guilt.

I dodged the fist flying from his left hand and struck the monster hard in the face. The monster stepped back, surprised by the strength.

“I also said that I was watching you earlier.”

“K… !”

“Now let’s both fight seriously without regrets.”

That’s how our real fight began.

Of course, I’m busy trying to avoid the monster’s attacks.

No matter how prepared you are to die, if you fight while taking all the monster’s attacks, you will die in vain without wasting any time.

No matter what, you just have to avoid that hand. No matter how bad you are, just avoid that hand!

Cheee—!!

“Ugh…”

I never thought you’d even use fakes.

The first one somehow reduced the damage with my arms, but I just got hit in the side with that attack. If I get hit any more, I’ll bleed excessively… no, I might die from shock.

As time passed, a burning pain came from the flesh that had melted away.

“I’ve felt all kinds of pain… but this hurts the most.”

“Wow!!”

Pot!!

“You don’t intend to listen to my story?”

“Big… ”

What just happened? Was it a coincidence?

I continued to dodge the monster’s attacks. And I observed her attacks closely, not avoiding them.

A fist that is slower than expected compared to the speed shown before.

And I could see why. This monster.

Think about it, it’s kinder.

no.

Monsters aren’t always good.

“Hey! Are you in there?”

“Keep going!”

Yeah, it won’t come out easily.

Even if this is a coincidence.

It’s the only way I can survive right now.

“Naize! If you can hear me, stop for a moment.”

“Huh!”

puck.

Yeah, that’s not a coincidence. That halting movement just now.

“I knew for sure. I guess his soul isn’t dead yet.”

Divine power is one of the ways to counter black magic. If the divine power is so strong that it can withstand Aster’s magic…

What an absurd hypothesis. But the person who has personally demonstrated this is in front of me. Is he a person with strong faith, like a cult leader?

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it’s a voice from heaven that says that it’s possible to endure it. The book also says that there is about one such person in a thousand years.

I never thought I’d see someone worse than Geumseong here… I don’t know why this guy came to a place like this, but anyway, there’s a possibility.

“If you can stop, that means you can come back!”

“Big!!”

The movement was noticeably slowing down.

“Okay! Try a little harder!”

“K… !”

Naiz clutching his head in pain.

“You can do it! Please! For Ilia next to you…!”

“Big!!!”

Eventually, Naiz, who had failed to control himself, threw a punch at me. At that time, I had only one thought.

‘Ah… I was so arrogant.’

I just held onto the hope that I could come back and didn’t think of it as a failure. I was fooled and made the same mistake twice before.

The fist was already right in front of my eyes, so I couldn’t dodge it. It had to be my friend’s friend… Even though I didn’t want to, my heart kept getting weaker.

In the end, this is all just an excuse. Ah… This is how I end up.

If I had known this would happen, I would have seen the kids’ faces… Are you okay…?

I should have been punched at this timing… why am I stopping?

… Could this be awakening time?

I jumped to the status window next to it and checked, but there was no message in the status window.

“What?” My gaze went to Ilya, who was holding onto Naiz, as I blurted out a questioning question.

“Logs, run away quickly!”

“?”

Is this really Ilya, who was so shocked that he couldn’t do anything? Why did he suddenly stop crying and change like this?

“Yes, Naiz is already dead! Don’t do anything weird and run away quickly!”

That story made me realize.

“You’re definitely going to be affected by black magic because you don’t have any divine power! So if you fall, you’ll get better right away!”

Is this the shock therapy they were talking about?

Ilia is now treating me like a madman who is obsessed with black magic. He only heard that I am a priest, but it seems like he hasn’t heard that I can use black magic.

“Yes, I’ll catch Naiz, so hurry! It’s late, but please help me even now! Prince Mars needs you… Ugh!”

Ilia’s body, from which all of his divine power had long since disappeared, began to melt, with smoky smoke rising from it.

“Ugh! Hurry up! I’m going to punish you for this! Stop complaining about punishment and leave me alone!”

“… ”

Should I just run away like Ilya said?

Or should I tell her the truth?

Numerous scenarios ran through my head, but I couldn’t decide.

While I was thinking, Ilya’s expression became more and more distressed.

‘Ah… how do I do this… ’

what…

In the body of the ‘monster’, a shining soul is seen. It is warmer and gentler than any other light.

And then, before my narrowed eyes, I saw someone’s face. It was a face I was seeing for the first time.

But I could tell.

I nodded at her face. I won’t run away and I won’t tell the truth.

With that determination, I grabbed the ‘monster’s’ neck and threw it away from Ilya with the force of the moment. Ilya fell down helplessly on the spot. I felt sorry for that sight, but I immediately threw Neyz far away.

And then I looked at the only door that could lead me here. Outside that door, I could feel a tremendous aura.

“I’ve been waiting for you to come.”

I approached the fallen monster with a smile. Then, a status screen appeared in my sight.

[Asbel’s sword is concerned about your wounds]

[Kraberg’s fangs smiled at the amusing sight]

[The two swords are dissatisfied with their master for not taking them out]

“Hey Logs!!”

The class that threw a sword at me.

[privilege) liberation]

“Nice timing!”

chuck!

I grabbed the sword, took a stance, and ran towards the monster. Then I said.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.”

Chomp!
