second power.
An extremely opaque mirror to use for my purpose of reflecting my face. I tried changing the angle here and there, but nothing was reflected.
I heard that the sword stuck in the head of the demon rampaging far away is the sword used to put the demon to sleep, so this mirror is probably the relic that reveals the demon’s true identity.
Actually, the use of this mirror was not important to me at all.
‘killing!’
“I tried to absorb it quickly, mother.”
As I gazed at the mirror and prayed silently to the Mother of Decay, a dark green light slowly flowed from the mirror and penetrated my body and my mother’s hands. When the energy flowing from the mirror stopped, I closed my eyes and settled inwardly.
[Divinity: 11723]
After all, does one sealed holy relic contain 10,000 divinities, the equivalent of one power? It brought out the sunken spirit into reality.
I carefully took my mother’s hand out of my bosom and lifted it.
“Mother. Another seal has been opened. Can you tell me if there are any changes?”
‘killing!’
When she said that she was figuring it out, I waited patiently for her words. Anyway, because my legs were crushed while falling earlier, there was nothing I could do except wait for my legs to regenerate.
After a short wait, my mother slowly handed over my will.
‘killing!’
“Yes? Is that true?”
‘killing!’
My mother’s hand, which had fallen from my grasp, crawled away from me, wriggling its fingers. Then, as if it were difficult, he collapsed on the floor and sent me his will.
‘killing!’
I crawled across the floor, took my mother’s hand, and put it back into my bosom.
“It’s definitely a good thing to be able to send your will from a place a little farther away than before… but isn’t the result too meager for unsealing a holy relic? No, it’s definitely meager. This is disappointing. It’s all about this…”
‘Kill!’
I laughed at my mother’s screams.
“You seem to have increased the number of things you can say. It’s a huge improvement. You’ve become able to speak one letter at a time. This son’s tears cover his mother’s growth.”
‘killing!!!’
Her mother’s hand struggled violently, telling her not to tease her.
“Okay. Seeing the situation, it’s better to stop making fun of your mother here.”
I closed my eyes and prayed quietly.
“Mother of Corruption. I will offer you ten thousand divinities. Give me new powers.”
My inner divinity level dropped rapidly and a new power entered my body.
At the same time as the authority flowed in, information about the effect of this authority was engraved in the brain.
‘killing…?’
“Hmm. It’s not a bad power. Mother. It’s quite useful even in the current situation.”
The authority I newly acquired after dedicating 10,000 divinities this time is the ‘Gate of Corruption’.
The efficacy of this power was very simple and powerful. The ‘Gate of Corruption’ was a power that amplified my physical abilities, which were already out of the human category, by appearing densely dark green metaphysical tattoos on my skin the moment I activated the power.
However, unlike the ‘Giant of Corruption’, this power was not simply a power that was beneficial to me. The cost of the ‘Gate of Corruption’ was as simple as the ability, but while I used this power to amplify my physical abilities, I had to slowly rot from the inside out. By the time the corruption that ate me from the inside was revealed, it was obvious that I would fall into a state of incapacity for combat.
I smiled.
“If you use this once, your stomach will be sore until your intestines regenerate. Mother.”
‘Murder…’
I calmed my mother by tapping my breast pocket.
“Mother. You don’t have to feel sorry for me at all. After all, isn’t it something I want to use power for? Besides, it’s always good to have a variety of means to use.”
Just in time, the regeneration of the crushed leg was completed.
– Gaaaaaaaaa!
I slowly got up and looked at the demon still rampaging in the distance.
“Now that I see it, it’s very strange.”
‘killing?’
Even now that the priests of the Reformation Church, who drew out the devil’s anger, are all dead, the devil is running rampant like beasts.
The devil was not a beast who left everything to his instincts.
Up until now, the situation had gone by so fast that I had no time to think about it, but the momentary break I had while regenerating my broken leg gave me a chance to analyze the current situation.
Eventually I came to a conclusion.
“mother.”
‘killing?’
“It may shake a little. Please keep your pockets tight.”
‘killing?!’
***
A man in a white priestly robe galloped over the wreckage. Divinity of corruption flowed out from the dark green tattoos that densely covered the skin.
Every time Marnak smashed the ground with leg strength that far exceeded human strength, he became a line and narrowed the distance with the devil.
– Gaaaaaa!
The huge black crocodile instinctively realized that something was coming towards it. The devil, who rolled his big eyes and looked around, found the cause of this ominous feeling.
A small creature was running toward him.
The devil responded in a very simple way. His heavy, large tail was energized and swung at the objectionable creature. Its ruthless tail smashed everything it touched without hesitation and moved toward the tiny life.
Marnak reacted calmly. The muscles in her legs burst out as if they had waited with strength to their limit. Marnak’s body soared into the air without hesitation. The huge tail could not reach Marnak by a hair’s breadth.
A black tail passed right in front of my eyes without hesitation. As if waiting, Marnak stretched out his hand and clung to the demon’s tail. Then he jumped up and started galloping on top of the devil’s body towards his head.
The devil reached out with his paws and tried to scrape off a small creature galloping up his back when he realized a fatal fact.
Alligators couldn’t scratch their backs.
Faced with the limits of his body structure, the devil eventually chose a different method. It was determined to roll the gigantic body once again. Even this quick little creature will die from being crushed by this body, like the metal lump that hurt her earlier. I thought so.
The black body on which Marnak was running gradually leaned. But this was also to be expected. Without hesitation, Marnak jumped off the crocodile’s back and landed on the ground. A sharp pain climbed up his knee, but his body, amplified by the authority, fortunately withstood the impact of the fall.
“Cool.”
Fragments of rotting intestines protruded out, mixed with coughing.
“This is progressing faster than expected. It seems that it is a power that is difficult to use for a long time. Mother.”
There was no time to stop. A huge black shadow covered the ground. Marnak sprinted through the rubble again to avoid the demon’s gigantic body rolling from behind.
The gigantic body collapsed the streets of Gwyth without a trace.
Marnak ran and ran. And that time when the devil gets up from his seat again after he rolls around excitedly.
Marnak, who had reached the devil’s paws before he knew it, kicked off his seat and jumped up. The priest’s hand flew up and touched the devil’s paw. He climbed the demon’s gnarled hide like a monkey climbing a tree.
– Gaaaaaaa!
No matter how hard he tried to get rid of it, the little thing that didn’t fall off caused the devil to feel extreme anger. The demon screamed and leaned its huge body again.
If once is not enough, I will drop this little thing no matter how many times I roll.
body tilted again.
However, unlike before, Marnak did not jump from the demon’s body. His eyes, which had already reached the devil’s neck, reflected the white sword stuck in the crown of his head in the distance.
“Haaaaap!”
The Priest of Decay glided across the sloping floor, jumped up, and stretched out his hand. Marnak’s hand roughly gripped the white sword.
It was clear that if I pushed just one more inch here, the demon would be dragged into its own world.
But Marnak did not push his sword. Instead, he roughly pulled out the sword he grabbed from the demon’s crown.
“Get up!”
– Gaaaaaaaaaa!
The body of the huge black crocodile collapsed. The black flesh that fell with Marnak became a soft cushion and absorbed the shock directed towards Marnak’s body.
Marnak jumped up again and dug up the mass of black flesh.
Then he smiled at the demon he finally found.
“Are you awake?”
The devil frowned slightly with one empty eyeball and smiled cheerfully.
“Meeting the priest is a real blessing to me!”
***
The devil loves conversation and enjoys the exchange of spoken words.
No matter what the reason, it was strange and strange to just scream and run amok without saying a word.
After examining the devil’s condition, I came to a conclusion.
Something was forcibly suppressing the devil’s intellect.
The only thing that didn’t belong to me in that gigantic body was the white sword embedded in the top of my head. Then the story was simple. That pure white sword was the shackles that suppressed the devil’s intellect.
So, instead of pushing the white sword deeper, I drew it out, awakening the demon’s intellect.
The demon who lost one eye, both legs and left arm wept and lamented.
“It’s too much. It’s too much. Gus is a city I’ve cherished for the last 40 years. To bring it down with my own hands.”
I sat down next to the devil and took his word. In the aftermath of the ‘Gate of Corruption’, it was difficult for me to stand still because my stomach was upset.
“What has collapsed can be rebuilt. How good is it to clean up the city divisions? Besides, if you look closely, the buildings on the outskirts are quite intact.”
The demon giggled and laughed.
“You’re very right. Anyway, sadness is such a thrilling emotion. It makes my heart thump like this! Hahahaha! By the way, is it okay if I ask you just one question?”
“It’s okay to ask.”
I lost my eyeball, and the eye socket with only bright red flesh was facing me.
“Why did you help me?”
“Didn’t you give me two gold coins? If a person receives something, you have to give it back as much as you received.”
I smiled.
“How about it? My two gold coins help.”
The devil also grinned.
“It’s very cold and full.”
