RUST -882

The torso, with its limbs cleanly severed, wriggled like a caterpillar.

“Kaaaaaaah! Crazy!!”

“Ugh! Heal! Heal yoooo!!!”

Even though he hadn’t released his cover, the man started to lash out and looked in the direction of the floor.

‘Is there anything?’

Maru, who had swung a straight sword made by melting down several daggers and brushed the blood off the blade, sat down leisurely.

Yeah, yeah-

‘hmm?’

The new clip hanging from my waist started vibrating for some reason.

After being targeted by the Vine of Death, Newclips, who had been hunched over and saying, “I am a sword,” “I am just a sword,” and “I am a sword that knows nothing,” was now reacting.

The fact that Nuclipse, who used to react to cannibals and vampires, now reacts to this so-called healing guy. That means there’s definitely something about him.

‘Don’t touch me.’

Yeah-Yeah-

‘If you keep hitting me, I’ll throw it at you?’

In the garden of death.

The Nuclipse became quiet as if it had never vibrated before, but judging from its past actions, it was obvious. It would probably try to chew up the healing guy if it gets the chance.

‘That Newclips guy. He used to do whatever he wanted before he got scared of death.’

But this time, if you chew it out without permission, I really intended to throw it away. I was also curious about how the Garden of Death’s power would manifest if it absorbed Nuclipse.

While Maru was distracted by Newclips for a moment, the healer with his limbs cut off desperately extracted his healing power.

It was simply expressed as a cut off limb. In fact, it was a very dangerous wound. If not treated quickly, it was an injury that could lead to death in an instant just from bleeding.

“Healing, healing, healing–”

“FUC-!!!! Give me an arm!”

A milky white light began to glow from the cut area.

“No. No. It just won’t be cured!”

The bastard convulsed, but the healing light smoothly closed the severed limb. The bleeding stopped and the bastard’s color, which had been pale, returned as if the lost blood had been regenerated, but the bastard continued to thrash about like crazy.

“No. It can’t heal like this!”

“Quickly. Quickly, cut off the flesh and reattach the arm. Please! Even just one arm.”

Maru shrugged his shoulders as if he had made eye contact with the guy. Since his stealth function was activated, the shrug of his shoulders appeared to be slightly shaking.

[Okay, let’s do that. But there’s one more thing left.]

“What? What else is there left? Who are you? A Royal Guard? An Inquisitor?”

Who is this crazy guy who cuts off a person’s limbs without blinking? The man’s eyes wavered.

Maru calmly accepted the man’s rebellious gaze. Perhaps because of the power of healing, his rebellious spirit was not broken even by amputation.

‘Well, he’s a guy who’s been summoned by the god of healing himself.’

It was better than whining about losing a limb.

[One arm would be fine, right?]

Swish-

He placed his right arm, which had fallen to the floor, on the newly created wound, using the pre-cut pieces of his right shoulder as a starting point.

“Keuuuu- healing- healinguuuuu-”

A milky white light spread across the severed area, and the arms connected. It was certainly a miracle that ordinary people would see.

“Gasp. Gasp- Gasp- FUC···SHI···.”

[It seems that limb injuries can definitely be treated.]

The man was startled by that calm voice.

“You. What are you? Who are you?”

[Me. The one you were chewing on. And now the last one.]

The man’s eyes grew wide.

“Vladimir Kalin?”

[You said the God of Healing has descended? Don’t expect it.]

The space was torn apart and a black line stretched out.

Kagagak-

The line that scraped across the floor of the mansion tore the man’s torso into two halves. Starting with the lower part of the heart and the tip of one lung, the sword cut off all the vital organs, including the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, and liver, all in one blow.

Ugh-

The man with his torso cut off spurted blood with a look of despair in his eyes.

[Try it. Come on.]

He is the god of healing.

Maru was generous.

This time, I thought I could save him if I treated him.

Really.

‧

Turn it off- Turn it on-

The breathing that had been ragged began to slow down, as if losing steam.

flaw——–

When the milky white light gradually disappeared, the man had desperately tried to repair his heart and lungs.

After the heart and lungs were restored, the healing light began to weaken, and he began to lose focus and slowly collapse. How could he be considered weak for a god of healing?

When Maru saw this guy talking like a beggar on stage, he thought about tearing him to pieces right then and there. However, he gave up on that idea and had a reason to do it when they were apart.

It was because I thought that perhaps the wishes of the fanatics in the church might give him strength.

In fact, when people were convulsing, shouting, “This is the grace of healing,” and “This is a miracle of healing,” a milky white light spread throughout the guy’s entire body.

Anyway, he failed Maru’s test. If he had treated the amputation of limbs and internal organ loss, he would have been the best emergency medical technician and military doctor, so I was planning to save him.

Tsk-

Stealing faith and all they got was this? Maru clicked his tongue as he recalled the overwhelming force shown by the swarm of over 13 million rats.

‘Hmm- but. This guy and the fanatics won’t be able to stop five heretic inquisitors.’

Even without the healing ability, it seemed impossible to stop the Inquisitor armed with the core armor. The person who seemed to be the secretary didn’t seem to have any special abilities either. Maru checked the situation while putting the man in a preservation container and sending him by drone.

[I’ve sorted out the guy who’s doing healing stuff here. But I don’t think he’s the type of guy who can deal with the Inquisitor.]

Ki-sun answered with a face full of fatigue, as if she had used up a lot of her abilities.

[Is that so? The PD said that there are strange guys in both the Old East Village and Westminster areas. Didn’t you go after seeing that information?]

[We’ve come close. This is the church in Westminster. So what’s left is up there?]

Ki-soon pressed his temple once and said.

[If not there, then we’ll have to assume the Inquisitor went missing in the East Village.]

[Okay. Here’s the healing ability guy. I just preserved it and sent it to the drone. It seems like the ability is buffed by faith or wishes. I recorded the details in the video, so check it out.]

Ki-sun nodded at Maru’s words that he had sent it to Na Ju-yeon and the research team and asked them to check.

[Okay. I’ll do that and report back as soon as something comes up.]

[okay.]

Ki-sun’s thin eyes became even narrower after seeing the video Maru sent.

[···What did the Holy Kingdom do when the refugees begged for their lives? They abandoned them to die. The Holy Kingdom was corrupted.]

[The savior we believed in was not a savior, but a murderer.]

A wrinkle formed between Ki-sun’s eyebrows.

[Is it God’s will to treat animals like humans and artificial intelligence like people?]

[God is not someone who imprisons, kills, or abandons. True faith is a faith of healing. It frees the imprisoned, saves the dying, and saves the abandoned…]

‘This is not good.’

At the end, he even got a middle-aged woman up from her wheelchair. Ki-sun realized right away that it was a lie that he had gotten the middle-aged woman up, but that the milky white light that had appeared on the man’s body was real.

‘Maru would have noticed too.’

First of all, if the milky white light was an ability, it should have been transferred to the woman. However, the fact that the light that started from the man’s hand spread to his arms, upper body, and entire body means that the phenomenon occurred regardless of healing the woman.

Would it be strange to compare the enthusiasm of the people in the video to the reaction of the rats at the awards ceremony? Comparing rats to humans? Ki-soon clicked his tongue in bitterness without realizing it.

Tsk-

‘I committed fraud, but did that turn out to be my real ability?’

Until now, it was known that abilities were manifested in life-or-death situations. And now, there is another case where abilities can be manifested in another way. It was a case where abilities can be manifested when people’s wishes come together.

In the 1970s and 1980s, during the height of the Cold War, there was research conducted by the CIA that found that human psychic energy existed.

Later, it was used as material for novels and movies as a great comedy or happening, but if you look at the records of the Soviet Union or the CIA during the Cold War, it is true that there were some serious incidents that were too serious to just laugh off.

‘It’s not a situation that can be just passed over, as Na Ju-yeon talked about the typification of wishes and the concretization of concepts.’

When a wish gains power, it is called psychokinesis.

The ability to project power through thought itself. That’s telekinesis.

Even without telekinesis, it might not be strange that faith or wishes would be a source of strength when so many abilities are already available.

The problem is···.

‘So, what this means is that the world has become one where other people’s wishes, beliefs, and hearts become real power.’

What kind of power did Maru gain by swallowing the wishes, beliefs, and hearts of over 13 million field mice at once? Maru said that he had created the rat of death as if nothing had happened.

‘That can’t be true.’

Was it all just a small rat appearing in the Garden of Death? It was clear that there were still parts that Maru hadn’t recognized.

If you think about it, even the Death Rats weren’t that simple. Just being able to get out of the Garden of Death was a huge deal.

That means that he could go as far as 3km away from the Garden of Death. That meant that Maru’s attack range was a whopping 3km radius.

I don’t know what the vines here are, but if by any chance… the vines planted on the exterior walls of Detroit are the ones that appear in the Garden of Death, then it means that the plants are also wishing for something towards the floor.

[loud loud loud]

Ki-soon paused the video at the scene where a long line was drawn on the floor of the mansion and the healer was cut in half, letting out a small sigh.

Maru guy. I knew he was the type to see things through once he starts, even if he doesn’t do it, but it’s still really frustrating to see him do it.

If you have healing abilities, you know that it is better to gently coax them to extract healing abilities, but what kind of symbol is it that you insist on finishing them off?

‘Or, since it has healing power, you can tie it with the vine of death and use it as a life recharger.’

Maru must have thought about that too, but he went all the way. His temper was just unimaginable.

Heeeeeeeeeing–

“This way?”

Purrurruruk—

He grumbled as if he wasn’t a giant black horse.

Hee-yeon and the U+ team achieved the success of catching a cannibal who was hiding in Windsor under the guidance of the Black Horse. And that was their first and last achievement.

Contrary to the original goal of capturing all the cannibals hiding in the Holy Kingdom, after wandering around for three months, there were no additional results.

“Hah- You missed it again?”

Pururur—

The muscular black horse glanced at Heeyeon and lowered his head.

“I didn’t say anything.”

Now the black horse has been chasing only one guy for nearly 90 days.

“Aside from chasing after them now, if there’s a cannibal nearby, why don’t we go after them first? We’ve been here for over three months now and we haven’t made any progress, so it looks like we’ll be ordered to return soon.”

Purururung-

The black horse snorted as if it understood Hee-yeon’s words and turned its head. Hee-yeon nodded after checking the map on the HUD and the direction the black horse was looking. It was in the direction of London, Canada.

“Let’s go – this time, we have to catch at least one. Got it?”

Heeeeeeeing-

A giant black horse began to run through the white snowy field.

‧

As we got closer to London, Canada, the line of people heading towards Windsor grew longer.

“Wait a minute.”

“What···.”

The bushy man, who was about to get irritated when a young voice called him out, automatically became kind when he saw the huge, muscular black horse.

“What happened to the city? Why is everyone leaving like this?”

“There’s an evacuation order in the city. I don’t know why.”

The man next to me approached me, staggering because of the many layers of clothing he was wearing, and spoke.

“Hey. Why are you telling me such a secret? Just tell me, little lady. There are rumors going around that there are heretics in the city. And there are rumors that the Inquisitor has come.”

“Huh? A heretic?”

A man with a bushy beard blurted out in a rough voice.

“There are rumors of a god of life and a god of healing. Judging from the fact that the king himself is coming, the situation must be serious.”

“I don’t know why you’re going to London, but things aren’t going well right now, so I think it would be better to come back later. If you’re going back, how about coming with us?”

The man wearing many layers of clothes made a kind suggestion, but Hee-yeon shook her head.

“No. Thank you for your consideration, but I really have to go.”

The two men who had been watching the girl riding the black horse walk away turned around.

“That horse must be a monster, right?”

“Did it seem like normal speech? What a lump of crap.”

Booooooooooo-

A group of riders on motorcycles modified to run on snow raced in the direction the black horse and the girl had gone.

“What the heck is really going on?”

“Let’s go.”

As expected, traces remained on the snowy road where the blizzard did not hit.

square-

Even if the sound of stepping on snow is reduced, it cannot be completely eliminated.

Thud-thud-

Even if you climb a tree, you’re bound to end up with snowballs falling from the shaking.

‘I wish it had snowed heavily.’

Arriving at Old East Village, Maru could feel a strange atmosphere.
