Episode 19. Poor quality (3)
– Invite the devil to the ceremony. It has two meanings.
Akshan’s demon hunter said so.
-The first is literally consciousness. An action that proceeds to destroy demons according to established rules. The second one needs explanation. Then, where exactly was the devil invited to the ceremony?
Tuk-tuk—
he touched his temple.
-okay. It is to be invited to the ‘ritual’ of the demon hunter.
.
.
.
I intentionally provoked Count Ascura.
“Why is the ugly vampire still claiming to be an aristocrat?”
Count Ascura spits out life in response to my question.
I wondered if I had to add the last words to that figure, but…
it was already spilled water.
Besides, it was what I was hoping for.
‘Because there’s nothing good about dragging time.’
Count Ascura’s level was 430.
Even that was not enough, and he had recovered all the powers he had given away.
It would be correct to say that actual strength is more than level.
Against such a monster, me who is only level 100?
Even if there is a [natural enemy relationship] and [magic].
I couldn’t guarantee that it could cause significant damage.
However, with [Exorcism], the story is different.
‘Invite the devil to the ceremony.’
To put it simply, it was bringing a demon into my head.
The days when Arcana was just a game in the past.
I’ve been through exorcism several times.
Looking back, I thought I was really not afraid at the time.
A horror game that is indispensable during the exorcism. Because I watched it without blinking my eyes.
because of that experience.
I was able to come out like now.
‘The leadership of the ceremony depends on the mental power.’
It’s a mental battle.
I don’t know anything else, but I’m confident in that one thing.
『No devil’s temptations and trials of deception can even damage the lofty pride of Grandfel.』
So it wasn’t unfounded confidence.
It is an action that has a corner to believe.
[Invite the vampire Count Ascura to the ‘ceremony’.]
Count Askura invited to my ceremony in Grandfell.
I stared at the guy.
How am I reflected in those red eyes at this moment?
.
.
.
“!”
Ascura doubted her own eyes.
what happened
I’m sure it was me standing on top of the stairs…?
‘What. why?’
The positions of me and him have been reversed, right?
The guy was looking down at himself from the top of the stairs.
‘how…!!’
How high do you think it is? No matter
how much I tilt my head back,
I can’t even see it properly!
Askura shouted.
“You made a mean move. human!!”
Then, a more relaxed voice was heard.
“Be mean. What is despicable, Askura?”
An arrogant attitude that doesn’t even feel the slightest tension.
Askura felt a sense of incongruity.
‘This is impossible…!’
Clearly, he radiated life.
An insignificant human being would have no choice but to be terrified.
For some reason, the boy was fine.
Ascura opened her mouth.
“…okay. It’s a trick. It is impossible to do otherwise. The fact that the positions of you and I were reversed. No matter how much I raise my head, I can’t look at you. Everything is nothing but a trivial trick!”
The sound of heels ringing in my ears
.
A stern voice followed.
“is it? It seems that way in your eyes.”
“…?!”
…what what?
What does that mean?
Ascura shouted inwardly.
‘no. Undoubtedly. It’s just a trick!’
My eyes couldn’t have been wrong.
It’s just that the seats have changed.
Taking advantage of the moment I took my eyes off…
“!”
…No, I didn’t lose my eye.
I didn’t even care.
It must have been that he moved with the intention of tearing the guy who was spitting out the subject matter to pieces.
But at what point was he able to cheat enough to change his location?
Also in my castle.
“Look, then. Ascura.”
“…?”
“What does this look like to you?”
at the same time as the question.
Something obscured my view.
It is a huge rock of unfathomable size.
“…Don’t you dare try to deceive me!!”
Kugu Palace—!
To be precise, a sarcophagus.
A huge rock coffin hit him.
Ascura raised her mana.
‘Dangerous.’
Even if the shape was a coffin, it wouldn’t have much effect.
The problem was its size.
Even if it’s just an ordinary boulder.
It was dangerous at that size.
“Go away!!”
Su-oo-!
Magical power shot towards the sarcophagus.
But why?
The sarcophagus was not even scratched.
Ascura was taken aback.
‘What is this…?’
That means more than half of the horsepower was used.
But why can’t you even scratch it?
Embarrassed for a moment.
The boy’s voice is heard.
“It seems to be in a serious condition. Ascura.”
…Unforgivable!
In an instant, Ascura’s form disappeared into thin air.
To be precise, it was scattered in hundreds of bats.
“shit!”
From bat to vampire.
Ascura returned to her form and exhaled heavily.
Because the sarcophagus could not be avoided.
I used the one-time escape that I should have saved until the end.
“I don’t feel any dignity from the rough breathing.”
“…shut up!”
“But this makes it clear.”
Again—
the sound of footsteps heard again.
The guy was coming down the stairs.
Ascura smiled inwardly.
‘You’re stupid. human.’
It was an opportunity that came rolling into my feet.
What trick did you use?
It was frustrating because I couldn’t even look at it.
‘There’s nothing wrong with coming down those stairs.’
Ascura caught her breath.
To not miss the opportunity you seized.
He sharpened his fangs.
Again—
when the sound of shoes in my ears stopped.
Ascura raised her head.
And I was astonished.
“…how?”
It must have come down the stairs.
It means we are standing on the same ground.
But why…
am I still looking up at him?
“How about a new perspective, Asscura? No, you ugly vampire.”
It is impossible.
this is my castle
It’s impossible to cheat on me.
Did you even read the heart?
said the man
“Does he still think that this is his castle?”
“What is that…?!”
“Look closely, vampire.”
“…?”
At the man’s words, Askura looked around.
“It is nonsense. Why is the portrait…?”
Does it have your face?
All the portraits of himself hanging here and there had been replaced with portraits of men.
Something is wrong.
Ascura started breaking out in a cold sweat.
A calm voice still rang in my ears.
“All of these are your fears.”
*
Sae-Ae-Aek-!
rushing wind.
Jesse Heinness grabbed his cone hat and said.
“What am I looking at…!”
Tight——
to the extent that the stick he was holding on to was colorless.
Nothing happened to Jesse.
397 levels.
4th player ranking.
In terms of fighting power, it surpasses Rox, who is ranked 2nd.
It is evaluated that it is comparable to the No. 1 Skal.
Because the great wizard Jesse Heinness?
no.
It never was.
The opponent is a level 430 named monster.
It was also a demon.
It means that even Jessi is a strong enemy who made her nervous just by appearing.
Yeah nothing happened to Jesse.
It was all thanks to ‘Mr.
“What! That overreaction!”
Very strange magic.
Yes, Ho-yeol was just building a stone pillar.
Just like when I dealt with the knights of Count Ascura.
However, Count Ascura’s response was too much.
‘If it was that size, I wouldn’t have to do that!’
Concentrate excessive mana.
Trying to knock off the stone pillar was also a strange move…
and even that missed.
Kwak Kwak—!
Because of that, the castle collapsed and the sky was exposed.
If that wasn’t enough, he suddenly turned into a bat and ran away to avoid the collapsing stone pillar.
“And where have they been looking all this time!”
His gaze was also unstable.
Count Ascura had been staring at the ceiling ever since.
He took a deep breath and shouted into the air.
Later, when he saw a portrait with his own face on it, he even freaked out.
“…I think I’ve seen it somewhere.”
Why?
Jessie was not unfamiliar with such a count.
After thinking about it, she finally figured it out.
“that’s right! No matter how you look at it, that’s a status abnormality fear!”
.
.
.
I checked the emerging message.
[A ‘fear’ occurs to the vampire Count Ascura.]
…It was close.
I clearly felt the difference in level.
What I realized most of all was the magical power of Count Ascura.
‘Even if you pass by, it’s death. This.’
Demon Hunter If you believed in only one class and jumped at it.
I must have crossed the nether by now.
However, close combat was not possible.
Count Ascura just waved his hand in the air.
In the aftermath, the surrounding objects were smashed.
In that sense, wearing a suit with a long coat was not a problem.
It would have been one shot even with the armor on.
But that was my case.
As Count Ascura, there is no way to know my inner circumstances.
The evidence emerged one after another as messages.
-Hunt the vampires. (In progress) ▲
●Notify that the hunt has begun. (Success)
●Let them feel the fear of being hunted. (Success)
Hunt the vampires. (In progress)
All that remains is to hunt down the terrified Count Ascura.
“…You are my fear? That can’t be.”
A vampire who has lost his will to fight.
It may seem like an easy prey, but it wasn’t to me.
More than anything, I didn’t have the confidence to finish off Count Askura with a single blow.
Because I didn’t have magic or physical abilities that had that much power.
‘It’s probably not enough.’
Of course, I contacted the players and saw their skills and tried to imitate them.
However, stats and equipment were a problem.
Even if it was a silver weapon that was strong against demons.
Because the absolute attack power was terrible.
‘I resent my weakness.’
It’s an opportunity to monopolize the experience…!
But I had to make a cool decision.
I took out my silver dagger.
Then I changed the shape of the interference to that shape.
A silver dagger that is divided into 4 parts.
Its shape resembles a stake.
I didn’t delay.
Shu Shu Shuk—!!
Count Ascura, who has lost his will to fight.
A silver stake was blown at him.
Fufufufu—!!
He divided the already short silver dagger into quarters.
The size of the pile has no choice but to be smaller than that.
“Oh no no!!”
However, the terrified Count Ascura seemed to feel differently.
It’s like being nailed to a really big stake.
Count Ascura began to have seizures.
‘However, fear alone cannot defeat the enemy.’
It is not known how long this condition will last.
So I said
“I’ll let you take care of the aftermath.”
that’s the best i can do.
The cone hat trembled at my request.
“yes? You leave behind! When you’re done! to me!”
What should I answer?
honestly.
that the ability is lacking.
It is impossible to answer.
Due to Grandfell’s noble personality.
If you were killed by Count Ascura, you would be dead.
Because it was impossible to confess one’s lack of ability.
But fortunately.
“oh! sorry! You have to be polite! Forget about talking back!”
Having said that, the conical hat immediately chanted the skill.
I watched it.
oh oh oh oh!
Mana condensed at the tip of the staff.
flowing blonde hair.
A bluish light in the pupil.
The air around it turns.
The scenery of the sky fluctuating in an instant.
“scourge.”
That moment.
Pajijijijik-!!
Powerful lightning bolted from the sky.
The whole area was shaken by its power.
Kwakkwakkwakkwak—!!
Thunder roaring late.
The roar was enough to make my eardrums tingle.
‘Is this the ability of the top players?’
It’s a level of destructive power that I can’t even surpass.
Even the Count of Ascura is not enough, even from the player.
Why do you often feel the gap today?
But I wasn’t discouraged.
No matter how powerful a skill I was, I had killed Count Asscura. It was certain that my contribution to bringing Count Ascura to that point was greater.
As if to support him, a message came to mind. [Your contribution to
killing Count Asscura is recognized.]
[Your level has risen]
[Your level has risen] [
Your level
has risen]…
Because it is very natural.
There is no reason to be surprised at all.
I checked my inventory and was startled.
…Wait a minute, but it’s okay to be surprised here, right?
