episode_0099

In front of a strange woman who suddenly appeared, we froze, not knowing what to do.

“…Noeul. What should we do?”

“I don’t know, so don’t ask…”

Without breaking his fighting stance, he looked the unidentified woman up and down.

With dazzling blond hair that reached her waist, small stature, and clear but youthful features, she was wearing a neat suit skirt, and with her elegant movements and cultured speech, she gave off an aura that was difficult to treat lightly, but apart from that, she was a young office worker. It made me feel awkward, like I was cosplaying.

“Who are you?”

In response to Noeul’s question, she smiled brightly.

It was a business smile that felt a bit artificial.

“I am a temporary ‘auxiliary body’ created to assist you with your work. Now, everyone, please do your work.”

“…Are you saying that an ‘ordinary small business’ created you?”

“That’s right.”

“What did you refer to that look for?”

“It is a form designed by independent intelligence to have an appearance that is difficult for humans to deal with aggressively.”

It was an outspoken answer, but the content was absurd.

“You’re kidding. Did you think we wouldn’t be able to kill you if you looked like that?”

Brother Gyeong raised his great sword and growled, baring his teeth, but she paid no attention.

“I don’t mind if you kill me to relieve your stress, but guys, please do your work.”

“What if I don’t like it?”

“In that case, I have no choice but to use force.”

“If you can, try it.”

Ouch!

As Gyeong-hyeong, who is tightly gripping the handle of his great sword, turns on his heel and prepares to jump out, Rael prepares his telekinesis and Saeron erases his presence.

Cheap! Cheap!

I created a lot of holy water to prepare for any unexpected situation, and then looked at the entity that called itself an ‘auxiliary body’ with [Mystic Eyes of Condemnation].

“…good.”

Although the soul did not exist, it did have karma.

To be precise, it is no exaggeration to say that it is just a lump of pure karma.

It almost feels like it’s a bit excessive… I don’t know how they made something like that.

…Would you like to take a look?

I took out the [Emotional Magnifying Glass] from my dedicated sub-space and looked at her through the lens.

No appraisal results are provided.

I guess it’s because the distance is so far.

“Oppa Han-gil?”

“Hangil. What are you doing?”

“wait for a sec…”

I carefully approached the ‘auxiliary organ’ and was only able to see the results of the evaluation when I got close to her nose.

In this respect, it is inferior to the [Appraisal Eye].

[Preliminary offering]

[A being created as part of a ritual]

[It is a being that dances, sings, and offers food]

[Some of the authority was transferred from the priest]

“…’Auxiliary organ’. To whom are you offering dance, song, and food?”

At my words, she smiled, brushing her dazzling blonde hair behind her ear.

“Currently, there is no deity to offer offerings to.”

“lie.”

“It’s not a lie. The god who was originally offered to is gone.”

The god that was originally offered to? that…

“Wait a minute, does that mean the ‘god’ of ‘horrible conglomerates’ is dead?”

“No. It’s just that he has fallen. He has ceased to be a god.”

“……”

Is that possible?

“Then where on earth are you planning to make an offering?”

“To be precise, I am not making an offering. The ritual I am currently performing is a witchcraft ritual, so I am simply making an offering to the world and getting a reward for it.”

“Do you mean ‘denial’ by price?”

“……”

Are you silent here?

“Are you not going to answer?”

“You have no right to know that.”

At her words, the sunset came closer to me.

“Then do I have authority? After all, I am the president of this company.”

“No. There is none.”

“What? I was the owner of the pants? I knew that, but it’s quite shocking.”

After sighing, Noeul looks at me and gestures as if telling me to continue.

“Are priests ‘guards’?”

“That’s right.”

“He said he created an ‘ordinary small business.’ Is that true?”

“That’s right.”

“…For what? And how?”

“I can’t answer.”

“Tsk… So what exactly is a sacrifice? We work, sing, and eat. Is that all?”

“The sacrifice is me.”

She points to herself and makes eye contact with the same smile.

“I also act as a sacrifice. You will not die, so don’t worry. However, if you resist, we can’t help it. So, everyone, please do your job.”

“……”

I slowly distanced myself from her.

I didn’t hear some of the most important things, but I had a general idea of the situation.

“In other words, the ‘security guard’ is plotting something using us right now.”

“What on earth are you trying to do?”

“I think I know!”

Saeron suddenly raises her hand and raises the corner of her mouth in triumph.

“What is it? Saeron.”

“This situation arose because the ‘horrible large corporations’ that originally gave business rather than money to ‘ordinary small and medium-sized businesses’ went bankrupt, right? In that case, aren’t they trying to find a new ‘main contract’?”

“…!!”

I felt a shock as if lightning struck my head.

The colleagues seem to be doing the same, as they look at each other with their eyes wide and their mouths wide open.

“Wait a minute, if that’s the case…does that mean it’s connected to another other world?”

In response to the older brother’s question, I shook my head with a serious expression.

“It would be nice if it was just that, but it could also open a path between reality and the other world. Just like a ‘terrible large corporation’ tried to do through ‘ordinary small and medium-sized businesses’ in the past.”

“that…”

“But there’s a worse possibility than that.”

“What? What is that?”

“…constellation.”

“…huh?”

“If an ‘ordinary small business’ can truly find and connect with the ‘original source’, that is, another ‘god,’ then there is a possibility that it can be connected to the constellation. If that happens…”

I looked at the pale faces of my colleagues and glared at the ‘auxiliary organization’.

“We have to stop it, no matter what.”

“This is definitely an unusual situation. This is not something that will end on the branch line.”

After saying that, the sunset gathers pink energy into a round shape on her palm.

I think this is my first time seeing it used like that.

“I think we need to request support. If anything, it’s at a level that could completely destroy ‘ordinary small and medium-sized businesses.’”

She aims the pink energy, which has turned into a hard ball-like texture, at the ‘auxiliary organ’ and secretly takes out her phone.

…Where did you get it from? I don’t see any pockets on the succubus costume.

“Tsk. That doesn’t work either.”

Noeul clicked her tongue and spoke for everyone to hear as she put her dead phone back somewhere.

“I think we should go to the president’s office. There are supernatural entities there that can be used for support and to declare an emergency.”

“Okay. Then…I guess I’ll have to deal with that guy first.”

Brother Gyeong raised his great sword and aimed it at the ‘auxiliary organ’.

“Everyone, please get to work quickly. It’s already too late.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t plan on doing that! Huuueuuueuuiuueueueuuueueuuueueuuueupuuupuuupuupuuuu up offueupu up off there up there up there).

-I will help!

As Rael’s telekinetic power entangles the body of the ‘auxiliary organ’, the large and heavy greatsword is swung without delay.

Suddenly!

“…huh?”

“what.”

The head of the ‘auxiliary organ’ was cut off more vainly than expected.

thud! Degurr…

The head that fell from the beautiful smiling face rolls into a sharp position and hits the leg of the chair.

Not a single drop of blood flowed.

“What is this? Is it over?”

“Is it too easy?”

“Don’t let down your guard. It can’t be this easy…”

Noeul, who was speaking, kept her mouth shut.

As she had feared, the neck section of the ‘auxiliary organ’ quivered, and a red thread-like thing came out and headed toward the fallen neck.

“Stop it!”

No matter where I looked, it looked like my neck would be glued back together once that red thread was connected, so I shouted urgently and Rael manifested his telekinetic powers.

-Get rid of the hair…huh?

The lazily dangling red thread easily neutralized Rael’s telekinesis and dug into the cross section of his neck.

I don’t even know what I did or how I did it.

“…If you will not work, I will use force until you are willing to work.”

The sight of the head falling on the floor laughing was even more bizarre than I had imagined.

“Damn it! I told you I wouldn’t!”

“This is your final warning. Do your work now.”

Click, click, click!

As if a wind-up doll was being rewound, the red thread was pulled taut, and the head of the ‘auxiliary organ’ slowly began to rise up the neck.

“Uuuup!”

Squirt!

The amphibious sword is swung fiercely to cut off the red thread.

Kakaaaang!

However, surprisingly, the great sword bounced away as fast as it was swung.

“What!?”

“Nonsense!”

Saeron was astonished at the sight of a thread the size of a hair being thrown away from the great sword, and let out a loud scream, erasing his own existence.

“Execution of force.”

The ‘auxiliary organ’, with its severed head neatly attached and the smile erased from its face, suddenly turns its head in a certain direction.

Is it Saeron’s ‘non-existent danger’?

“Rael! Noeul! Now…”

“Kahah! Kahak!?”

“uh?”

“What…Saeron!?”

Just as I was about to shout out to attack, it froze.

Before I knew it, the ‘auxiliary organ’ had stretched out its arm and was holding Saeron’s neck and lifting it up.

“You can sense Saeron!?”

-Let go!

Rael displayed telekinesis, but the ‘auxiliary organ’ disintegrated with a sound of air bursting just by slightly moving its golden eyes.

“What!? Do you have superpowers!?”

“Let go of Saeron!”

Gyeong-gyeong, who has thrown away his great sword, grabs the wrist of the ‘auxiliary organ’ and pushes it to the point where the tendon stands out.

However, she did not move from that spot.

“If you work, I will guarantee your life.”

“Kuheook!?”

He falls to his knees helplessly as the ‘auxiliary organ’, which appears to be less than half the size of the oral form, gives light force.

It was an unbelievable sight.

“Damn it! What on earth…!”

Ta-ta-ta-tang!

I couldn’t use scream because everyone was stuck, so for the first time in a long time, I summoned an infinite magazine gun and fired without hesitation.

However, the bullet did not even reach the ‘auxiliary organs’.

Puff puff!

“Huh…!?”

On the contrary, the reflected bullets pierce all over my body.

“Oppa Hangil!?”

“Ugh…! It’s okay! It’s actually a good situation!”

Although he collapsed due to damage to his legs and side, ominous flames were fluttering in the ‘Mirror of Resentment’ as if they were about to explode.

Fuwaaa!

The next moment, the firework that seemed ready to explode died out in an instant.

The resentment that turned into an unavoidable curse literally raged through space and covered her body.

“Your strength won’t work. Do the work.”

Puff poop!

“uh…?”

When I heard the noise of flesh and bone exploding and blinked, I was looking at the ceiling of my office.

“what…!?”

My body doesn’t listen. What happened?

With difficulty, I lifted my head and looked down to see that my body was in shambles as if it had been hit by a bomb.

“Cough…!”

He coughed up blood and looked at the ‘auxiliary organ’.

Even though Noeul and Rael were desperately attacking her, she was looking at me with her brilliant golden eyes shining without any wounds.

“Do your job. If you do your job, I will guarantee your life.”

“…Plutz!”

I don’t know what kind of ability he has, but for the first time in a long time, I can feel the hatred and violence driven by his survival instinct boiling over.

A conditioned reflex caused by death, engraved in the body and soul.

Fuwaaa!

At that moment, the ‘Mirror of Resentment’ was spewing out flames like crazy to return the massive damage several times over.

It holds onto and amplifies the resentment that is trying to turn into a curse.

“Whoop, whoop…!”

Although the lower body was almost blown away, the head rotated with unusual agility.

I don’t know how the ‘auxiliary organ’ is still intact after being cursed, or what happened to me, but if that’s the case, all I have to do is keep all possibilities in mind and prepare for it, or just rip it out entirely.

“Whoa…!”

10 times, 11 times…12 times.

Perhaps due to the increase in the level of the soul, the curse was able to be amplified even more strongly.

Puhwaaa!

If I were not careful, the flames that were so overflowing that they would cover my body died out in an instant and flew through space as before.

The curse that I thought would cover my ‘auxiliary organs’ was about to cover my body the moment I noticed it.

“Cough! Sahagin…!”

While observing the process with [Mystic Eyes of Condemnation], I forced my lips that would not part to open and recited.

Kiiing!

‘Invincible Reflective Reality Manipulation Sahagin’ has been summoned.

“Keee…!”

As soon as Sahagin was summoned, Sahagin, a nimble figure with scales shining like mirrors, struck out the curse that was trying to cover me and returned it to the ‘auxiliary body’.

Kiiing! Kiiing! Keying!

The ‘auxiliary organ’ reflects the returned curse again, and the Sahagin returns it again.

As the process was repeated, the curse grew bigger and stronger.

“Cough! Whoa, whoa…! I see…”

As a result of observing the [Mystical Eye of Condemnation] while coughing up blood in return for sacrificing 70% of my soul, I was able to vaguely perceive the power of the ‘auxiliary organ’.

At first, I thought it was something like a reflective ability, but instead, it seems to have the ability to manipulate ’cause and effect’ itself.

Perhaps this is possible because she is a pure karma born from ‘negativity’.

Although corrupted, ‘negativity’ is a huge mass of numerous causes and effects gathered together and mixed up.

If a creature was created using that, there’s nothing I wouldn’t understand about it having such crazy abilities.

“Keee!”

However, my summoned beast, which is exactly what I imagined, is even more amazing than that.

On the contrary, it would be difficult to do otherwise.

This is because it is not just a simple soul, but the result of the sacrifice of hundreds of Sahagi, over 20 humans, and 70% of special souls who sacrificed themselves.

“Work, work. Everyone, please work…”

Perhaps unable to handle the amplified power of the curse through repeated reflections, she attempted to eliminate the curse itself by manipulating cause and effect.

“Kwiik!”

However, Sahagin laughed at her and easily manipulated reality.

Extraneous forces twist phenomena and laws.

Paaang!

The cause-and-effect manipulation ability of the ‘auxiliary organ’ was completely destroyed, and she became a weak ordinary person for an instant.

Purge!

“…That’s terrible.”

It was the first time in my life that I had seen a human body exploding.

“Oppa Hangil! Are you okay!?”

“Cough. Gwae, it’s okay…!”

When holy water is poured into a body that is so messed up that it would not be strange even if it has already died, the body begins to regenerate in an instant.

It’s my body, but it’s a little gross.

“Whew… But I don’t think I can fight anymore…”

“What are you talking about with your body like that!? It’s okay, rest now! We’ll take care of the rest!”

Jump up!

Immediately after Noeul shouted that, the office door opened.

“Everyone. Do your work.”

“You have to work.”

“Get to work, right now.”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Three ‘auxiliary organs’ that look exactly like the ones you just killed walk in and look at you impassively.

For reference, the Sahagin that had been made too strong was already disappearing.

“Kkiik?”

At the last moment, Sahagin looks back at me and gives me a sympathetic look.

“…Let’s work. As hard as we can.”

I gulped and swallowed dry saliva as the despair creeping up on me.
