– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
That moment when the falling monster’s nail stopped for a very short time. Whether the pause was caused by hearing the name of a lost woman or by that ominous roar, Dilgent didn’t care.
It only mattered that, for a second, a second, the nail stopped. That moment saved Dilgent’s life.
He calmly reached into his bosom and tossed a large marble. The marbles colliding with the monster’s body exploded explosively, and thick smoke covered the surroundings.
Katus quickly lowered his fingernails, but the sensation of the fingertips being caught was shallow.
[damn!!! Come out right now, you son of a bitch!!!]
Of course, there was no answer. The monster gnashed its teeth and closed its eyes. His instincts had whispered that it was time to calm down. Tree branches gathered around the ears of the monster, forming the shape of huge ears.
tadak.
sound of footsteps. The monster’s mouth parted.
[Found it.]
The huge figure jumped out of its seat and ran through the forest to chase the priest who had fled.
***
“Heo Eok. Huh.”
Dilgent ran. With a huge hole in the boat. It is thanks to the blessing of the Goddess that he is able to run smoothly even after receiving an injury that would have prevented a normal person from taking a single step forward. He said a short prayer of thanks in his heart.
The hole in his stomach was quickly filled. Bones and muscles and, finally, freshly made, slightly reddish skin covered it. After regenerating the rest of the parts except for the internal organs he didn’t need right away, he quickly shook his head.
For now, get out of here.
It was a bad idea to go there as long as a roar of unknown meaning could be heard from the place where Dark Lord’s colleagues were. Because the power of the worshipers of the evil god was unknowable.
He headed towards the distant lights of Ebedos. The time when Dilgent finally left his seat and was about to leave the forest.
Empty!
His body ricocheted and rolled across the floor.
“What is this…?”
The ‘line that the living cannot cross’ that the son of corruption had spread blocked his path. Of course, as Dilgent, who did not know the reason, he only had an intuition that something incomprehensible had happened.
“Is there a wall?”
He tried to go out again and again, but the line that the living cannot cross did not allow him to leave this forest.
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
Another ominous roar was heard. Through the roar came the sound of trees breaking.
a monster A monster who made a contract with the devil was following him. very precisely.
Dilgent bit his lip. There was no other way as long as the eyes were blocked by an invisible wall.
Now I really had to go where that ominous roar came from.
There was no time for frustration or despair. Now that this has happened, I had to join my colleagues as soon as possible. Judging from the roar still being heard, the other comrades probably weren’t completely annihilated.
Thoughts were short, actions were quick. Dilgent got up again and ran through the woods. Trained by the Imperial Rangers, the forest was a very familiar place to him. I climb over the protruding roots and squeeze between the trees blocking my way. He advanced like a wild beast through the woods.
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
Finally, Dilgent was able to face the cause of the roar.
Rusty armor covering the whole body. Four huge forearms and a gaping mouth. And the Black Landlord’s crew in that hand.
“Let go!!! Let go of this!!!”
The crew wearing the black spider mask struggled wildly and resisted, but the giant ignored the resistance and let go of the crew of the black land.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
munching.
Along with a faint scream, red blood flowed down the giant’s mouth. One of the emperor’s spiders disappeared into the giant’s stomach.
“If you pick up something like that, you will get an upset stomach. If you’re hungry, I’ll prepare some meat for you next time, so you can’t eat it next time.”
– That ah ah ah ah ah ? !
The giant’s cry mixed with bewilderment. Hearing the cry, Marnak laughed. He brushed off the butcher in his hand and turned his head to look at Dilgent. Dark eyes quickly scanned Dilgent’s body.
A bloody priest’s robe with a hole in the middle of the belly. Marnak tilted his head at the fact that anyone looking at him would notice that he had suffered for a long time.
“I guess the work I went to did not go well?”
Dilgent couldn’t answer easily.
Broken trees and dug grounds. In the aftermath of the fierce battle, the worshiper of the evil god was laughing. At his feet were red blood and fragments of the organs of the arms and legs of the members of the Black Squad.
Marnak chuckled as he saw Dilgent’s eyes stuck in the rubble around him, unable to fall.
“Isn’t it a bit messy? It was not easy to deal with alone because he was saving his power to retrieve true divinity.”
Enemies killed by the Sword of Corruption could not harvest divinity, so Marnak deliberately conserved his power and dealt with the nine Dark Lords. The Black Landlords were very well trained and organized. Those who know very well how to hunt individuals stronger than themselves.
After failing to attack several times, Marnak had no choice but to summon the giant of corruption. The sudden intrusion of the corrupting giant created a gap in the thoroughly organized links of the dark landlords, and Marnak did not miss the gap and slaughtered them one after another.
“mother.”
short recitation. With that chanting, the corpses lying around melted and reconciled with divinity, permeating into Marnak’s body. Dilgent just stood blankly and watched the miraculous sight.
“How the hell…?”
“You can do well, very well. But you…”
Marnak drew short. Dilgent gulped and waited for the words to come out of the devil’s worshiper’s mouth. After waiting for a while, Marnak gave a small smile.
“You better watch your back. Oh, is it too late?”
“What is that…”
Huh.
The stomach, which had barely recovered, was pierced. Only then did Dilgent realize why the worshiper of the evil god had been dragging his horse. He was already aware of the presence of a monster approaching from behind him without warning. Dilgent let out a cry filled with rage.
“You evil worshiper of evil spirits!!!”
[Look at me!!!]
The deer masked monster moved its huge arms and lifted Dilgent to face him. Dilgent met the monster’s eyes, which were blazing in the dark like flames.
[Look at me you son of a bitch!!! It’s me who kills you!!! That’s the hunchback Katus!!!]
“Cool.”
The regurgitated blood dripped down the corners of Dilgent’s mouth. Fingernails moved wildly, digging through his body. Dilgent smiled bitterly as he intuited his approaching death.
“As expected… I can’t help a worm who didn’t learn until the end… In order for you to survive… instead of stabbing me in the back… we had to join forces…” [Shut up!!!
]
Monster The nail on the other side moved, cutting off Dilgent’s arms and legs and tossing him on the floor.
[Even if I die a hundred times over, I will kill you and I will die too!!!]
My eyelids felt heavy. Since his stomach was pierced and his limbs were cut off, it had already exceeded the limit of recovery with the power of the goddess. Dilgent muttered, pushing back his eyelids that kept falling off.
“Mother…”
He got his revenge on the man who burned down his house and killed his mother. He was faithful to the work of receiving the grace of the goddess and giving as a priest.
He has no regrets about his life. The body that should have died with the burning house on that day only survived a little longer thanks to the grace of the goddess.
A faint smile crept across his lips. Seeing the smile on the priest’s lips, the monster screamed.
[Pray!!! Crying for help and begging me!!! Right now!!!]
Dilgent opened his mouth slowly as he looked at the monster he had created.
“Ena. The name of the woman you forgot is… Ena.”
The priest’s head fell. Dilgent Finisho died just like that.
Took.
Dilgent’s corpse fell to the floor and the deer-masked monster grabbed his face with bloody claws.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
that he wanted to take revenge. Obviously, in his imagination, the screaming priest cried out for help, and he should have ridiculed such a priest and butchered his body. Anger that had nowhere to go shook the forest.
[why!!! why!!! Like this dog!!! this shit!!! doggish!!! The priest!!!]
Marnak quickly prayed, not paying attention to whether the monster howled or not.
“mother. Hurry up and grab that too. If it is crushed, the divinity cannot be retrieved.”
With his strange prayer, Dilgent’s body melted and turned into a divinity.
one’s divinity. Marnak shook his head with a very satisfied face. I was very lucky today to be able to harvest 10,000 divinities in one night.
“Mom, I think that friend ate something good for the body. While I haven’t seen you for a while, your body has grown very well.”
The sound of chattering alone. The sound awakened the monster’s spirit. The black monster’s eyes turned red.
[Priest.]
A man in priestly clothes stood in front of me. The monster’s head turned slowly. He glared at Marnak and murmured.
[Did you kill Ena?]
Marnak tilted his head.
“Ena? It’s a name I’ve never heard of.”
[you! You killed Anna!!! You bastard priest!!!]
Anger that has lost its way. The monster, unable to control its anger, finally went mad. Marnak grinned when he heard the bottomless words.
“Then what will I do with the one I killed? Because I killed that person. Come on, jump on it. It’s almost time for the sun to rise, so I have to go back.”
[As expected.]
As the black trees grew, the body of the monster got bigger and bigger.
[As expected, you killed Ena. okay! You killed it!!!]
The monster, which was three times the size of an adult man, kicked the floor, exposing its wooden teeth.
[die!!! You son of a bitch!!!]
The ground where the deer mask monster stepped on was hollowed out. The monster smashed everything in its way and ran straight toward the priest in front of it.
Marnak shook his head when he saw the monster.
“This just sucks and the taste is gone.”
Quaang!!!
[Shut up!!!]
The claws of the jumping monster tore through the air and landed on Marnak’s face. Marnak slowly raised his head and met his eyes, which had completely lost their taste.
“I don’t think I can judge the situation properly. please.”
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
A rusty kitchen knife fell from above the monster’s head. The rusty blade slit the defenseless monster’s shoulder and slashed the creature in half diagonally before sending it to the ground.
Marnak calmly swung the butcher, severing the monster’s remaining arm and stomping the monster’s chest with his foot. He looked down at the monster with nonchalant eyes.
“Now you seem to have come to your senses.”
The eyes that had been burning red returned to black again. The monster, no Catus, looked up at Marnak and murmured.
[The life I wanted wasn’t like this…]
“That’s me too.”
[Where did I go wrong? No matter how much I think about it, I haven’t done anything wrong. I just lived hard every day. Every morning while drawing tomorrow…]
Marnak listened to Katus in silence.
[Living is too hard.]
Katus wanted to rest. As long as he killed Dilgent and his comrades, the threat to the young master was also removed. No, there was no threat to the young master in the first place. Catus muttered in a melancholy voice.
[… If you go all the way north from here, you’ll find a hut surrounded by thorns. There is a Bocchan there. If you take the young master to the lord, you will get a lot of rewards…]
Marnak nodded lightly and slowly raised the butcher.
“What do you mean, is that the end?”
The monster was speechless. It’s as if it’s annoying to even talk about it now. Marnak lowered the butcher without regret.
chin.
The time when the butcher’s saw blade was about to decapitate the monster. A long wooden staff fended off the butcher.
“for a moment. wait just a second This is my friend.”
Eyeless monocle glasses. neat suit. A man with a smiling face spoke in a very friendly voice.
“This friend lying here has signed a contract with me in many ways. Dying here doesn’t seem like much fun.”
Marnak saw the man in front of him and felt intuition that something had finally come out.
If the demon contractor was here, it was only natural that the demon watching him intently was also here.
“As expected, I knew you would come out if I tried to kill this monster. devil. Is that right?”
The demon chuckled and nodded.
“Yes. Nice to meet you. Son of Corruption. My name is ‘Belated Justice’. Won’t you make a deal with me? I’ll give you something if you save this friend. how is it? It would be much better for you to take something from me than to just kill this fellow here.”
In an instant, a woman jumped out of Marnac’s bosom with a flash of light. With her hair fluttering in light like the dark green night sky, the woman quickly replied to the devil.
By showing the middle fingers of both hands.
