The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism - Chapter 144



144.

“You don’t know how to give up.”

The man looked at me and said.

He drew his sword like I did, but relaxed with it hanging down.

I asked looking at that arrogant look.

“Are you pretty confident in your skills?”

I’m not the only one who lost the tradition.

He seemed quite certain of his victory.

But at my words, he shook his head.

Instead, he pointed to the mysterious creature he had summoned.

“He has more skills than me.”

“That squashed jellyfish?”

“If you do it yourself, you won’t look at it so funny.”

The guy smiled and stepped back.

Then, naturally, the monstrous creature crawled forward.

Looking at it again with the sword, it was an exaggeration to say that it looked like a distorted jellyfish.

Like a virus seen through a microscope, thick and short tentacles were clinging to the whole body.

Its figure-eight body, like a twisted hourglass, was supported by three or four thick tentacles dragging on the ground.

“… It will be fun.”

“@$%#$%$%”

With a groaning sound like glass breaking, the strange creature moved.

First, several of the tentacles covering its body stretched out like rubber bands.

Its weapon was its tentacles.

To be exact, the black and blue tentacles, which were in liquid form, solidified in an instant, striking them like blades, blunt weapons, or whips.

Whoop!

One of those tentacles flew towards my head with a howling wind.

“-!”

Because the trajectory was simple and honest.

I lowered my stance slightly and evaded it without difficulty.

Then, it passed me and slammed the poor ground.

thud!

Then, with a roar, the dirt floor landed on the trail of the tentacles.

Indeed, it was formidable power.

If you were hit with something like that without any assistance from tradition, the bones of your whole body would break at once.

“Of course, if that’s the case.”

After that, I swung my sword at the tentacle of the flying creature.

Then, the heavy weight hit the sword, and soon the tentacles bounced off with a dull rupture.

His blow was heavy.

Losing the tradition, it only felt like that with the overall lowered stats.

But if that jellyfish’s power is this much… I couldn’t even say it was a difficult opponent.

Having judged that, I looked at the alien jellyfish with a sneer.

chain fluid!

His attacks continued.

Numerous tentacles appear from all sides of me like a cascading waterfall.

The number of tentacles moving at the same time is about 10.

Its trajectory was jumbled to the point of perfection, but there were no gaps.

In response, I opened the way by bouncing off five tentacles with three sword strikes.

“no… !”

Then, the eyes of the man watching leisurely from behind changed.

Did you notice that things are going differently than expected?

But I didn’t care about him any more and focused on the jellyfish.

I twisted my body to avoid the tentacles that stabbed me in a straight line like a spear.

Then, he deflected the things coming down from above, and immediately lowered his sword to cut through the right side.

Then several tentacles collided with the sword.

A battle using pure sword and intuition without any skill, transmission, or item effect.

Maybe it’s because it’s been such a long time.

Naturally, I thought of the old days.

It wasn’t long after I arrived in this world.

There was a time when he was thrown into a dungeon with only the Old Sword and Light Sword skills.

“Tsk… ”

Recalling the not-so-good memories, I clicked my tongue.

At that time, I couldn’t even handle a sword properly, so I had a hard time catching a Wraith, a ghost-like monster.

It was an infinitely weak monster even compared to this jellyfish, so why was it so pathetic back then?

Whoo!

Tentacles rushing incessantly here and there interrupted the brief recollection of the past.

I diligently moved my sword to cut them off, and soon I brushed off the remnants left in my head.

It was more of a help than a hindrance.

Because I didn’t want to think of that past again.

kang!

With another sword strike, several tentacles are scattered in different directions.

Before I knew it, I was right in front of the body of the jellyfish.

His other tentacles responded, but it was too late.

“… Search.”

Chow!

With a light sound, my sword cut through his body.

Unlike tentacles, jellyfish that are finely sliced diagonally.

However, the sense of cutting along the sword is too light.

I immediately felt strange and retreated back.

Then again.

Kugu Palace!

Several tentacles savagely struck the space I was in.

Meanwhile, the body of the guy who had been cut by the sword for a moment was clinging to it again.

From nob le mt l. com

Just as it was, just like liquids coming back together.

“It does not cut with a sword.”

Then the man said as if he had been waiting.

“Even if you get stabbed by a spear, not just a sword, you won’t fall even if you get shot.”

“Oh, so you were so confident?”

I said while glaring at the jellyfish.

In other words, it is immune to physical attacks.

Was that the basis for his confidence?

“So what?”

he asked triumphantly.

How can you be so confident no matter where you write foul play?

So I returned the same.

“What? Then I have no choice but to use technology.”

At that moment, my sword shone.

The tradition he had was denied, and the Ingeom, which was just a fancy sword, emitted light on its own.

Then the man’s eyes widened.

“how… ?”

“This is not a tradition.”

Of course, the hero skill I possess is not a transmission dependent on any existence.

To put it bluntly, it’s the same power as the superpowers that every exorcist has.

But to the man, it didn’t seem so obvious.

“Nonsense! God’s power is sure to purify everything… ”

The man’s reaction was that he couldn’t believe it.

Apparently, that jellyfish erases not only the legend, but also the ability of the exorcist.

But still, the effect of my hero skill couldn’t be erased.

what… The reason was the same.

“Looks like I have a higher rank than Neg God.”

“What bullsh*t… !”

The man gnashed his teeth at my words, and as if in response, a jellyfish attacked.

The guy who had completely restored it before he knew it, attacked recklessly as if he was going to put an end to it this time.

From nob le mt l. com

Just like you know my sword can’t cut you.

however… Will my sword be the same as before?

The sword of light is literally an ability that gives the sword the light attribute.

And the light attribute is generally known to be effective against undead monsters.

Then, why does the light attribute exert such a strong effect on undead monsters?

I knew the answer after hearing it from a certain damn priest in another world.

The light attribute is the power to reject everything that shouldn’t exist.

That’s why the light rejects the undead.

Because they should have died a long time ago.

then… How about this alien jellyfish?

Chow!

Instead of bouncing off the tentacles, the light-clad sword slashed them in one fell swoop.

The severed tentacles fall to the floor.

The movement of the jellyfish, which was majestically charging, slowed down.

The light was also rejecting him.

It’s like saying something that shouldn’t be here.

“This is easy.”

There was nothing more to see than this.

I was jumped out by the jellyfish as it was.

Immediately, countless tentacles poured out, but unlike before, they were sliced like acorn jelly and were no longer even a threat.

And in the end.

My sword slashed through the jellyfish again with a whooshing sound.

From nob le mt l. com

Jellyfish split in two by the sword of light.

But this time, the cut, far from being healed, became more and more serious.

Soon, the body, which had been like a black and blue liquid, rapidly turned gray and was distorted as if it were rotting away.

“#@$… ”

That’s how the jellyfish finally disappeared from reality with a grotesque sound.

The only thing left in place is the broken black marble.

I confirmed the disappearance of the jellyfish and turned to the man.

He was looking this way with a look of astonishment.

“Is there anything else left?”

“… … ”

There was no answer coming back.

The man tried to move the sword, but the power of the white tiger, which returned as the jellyfish disappeared, stopped it.

I approached the man and held out the sword in front of his neck.

“… … ”

Do you already know that you can’t beat me?

He couldn’t even run away with a face of frustration.

I asked him

“Are you sure it’s Park Seong-deok?”

“what… ?”

He looked puzzled at my question.

I wonder why the name comes from here.

“Why are you talking about someone who is already dead?”

“die?”

“Yes, he is dead.”

“How?”

“He died worthwhile.”

“Did you do human sacrifice?”

“You are quick-witted. Isn’t that an efficient way to increase the power of a god?”

What he said was not a lie.

It means that Park Seong-deok, who was really a Hwarang spy, is dead.

In the end, it was said that Chairman Lee Seong-min’s request could not be fulfilled, but there was nothing to be disappointed about.

This guy was a member of the cult, using the traditions of the cult.

In every way, he is a big man who knows a lot more than Park Seong-deok.

The information that can be plucked from him is obviously more than that.

“Why do you ask that? Can I be his colleague?”

“What about a colleague?”

I shook my head sarcastically.

Now, the story about him was good.

“Rather than that, what were you doing here? What is this tower?”

“… … ”

When the direction of my question changed, he fell silent.

And he replied with an emotionless face.

“If it’s not about that idiot, you won’t hear anything from me.”

“Would you risk your life to keep the secret?”

“enough… It’s worth it.”

He said that he would not divulge the secrets of the cult even after death.

That resolution was great, but that was only when the search was carried out safely.

Can you say such a thing even if you can’t die and become alive?

If you get to that point, it’s normal to vomit all the information you know.

“Then you shouldn’t kill me. Is it a new way of begging for your life? Your hair is pretty good.”

“… That’s funny. Do you think that will work for you?”

The man’s face changed.

It was an empty, fishy smile.

It was then.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his arms.

The next moment, it became a red flame and inflated like a balloon.

It grew my body in an instant in an instant of time.

and-

Wow!

What followed immediately was a huge explosion.

Fierce flames spewed out in front of me, obscuring my vision.

It appeared to be a suicide spell prepared in advance.

In addition, the firepower was strong enough to blow up the surrounding area.

I felt a strong will to take not only myself, but also me as a road companion.

It’s not such a bad way to keep the secrecy of the cult, but… how to say

“It’s too obvious.”

The explosion that the man exploded with the determination to give up his life died down in an instant.

And the man who was engulfed in the flames… was still standing there.

“why… !”

The man looked around with a puzzled face.

I gave him back exactly what he had said.

“Did you know it would work for you?”

Suzaku’s power to control flames.

It was more than just moving the flames at will, I could choose what to burn and what not to burn.

I thrust my fist into the pit of his stomach, who had survived the suicide bombing.

“Cheuk… !”

And immediately, with the handle of the sword, he stabbed him in the back of the head and stunned him.

Rather than being conscious, it was better to put her to sleep, since she could do something stern for no reason.

So the man fell to the ground.

The highlight still remained on him.

Also in the ruins of the tower.

Other than that, I saw a few things highlighted.

When I checked it, it was a phone or document that the mines had.

All of them are valuable materials that contain information and clues about xie jiao.

But I didn’t have to check it out.

actually… It was also annoying.

“… Yes, Chief. It’s done.”

So I decided to entrust the matter to the Commissioner of Police.

I’ll take care of the analysis of the data scattered in the wreckage and the interrogation of that demon.

On the other hand, upon hearing my report, Kim Jun-seong was delighted.

Even though he couldn’t catch the Hwarang’s spy, it was because he had gained more than that.

And when the report was finished, the quest button was blinking before I knew it.

It seems that this main quest has been completed safely.

I immediately checked the reward by selecting the Done button.

And the reward…

＜Erosion resistance status added!＞

It was to add a new status to my status window.

Besides, its name is erosion resistance.

Written as a percentage, it was currently 0%.

It’s 0. Even so, just looking at the name, I can’t tell what kind of ability it is.

“What’s this.”

As I murmured, help was kindly printed out.

＜Resistance against the authority possessed by the god of another world that erodes the world＞

＜The higher the resistance value, the lower the chance that the succession will be denied.＞

＜Also, the ability of succession is fully demonstrated.＞

“… … ”

I read those 3 lines of help over and over again.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

There was just something that caught my eye.

“It’s called another world… ?”

Suddenly, my expression hardened.

Well, I never dreamed that I would see such a word now.

Is that why?

When I heard the word alien world, my thoughts became complicated in an instant.

Was that jellyfish a creature from another world?

Does that mean that the cults didn’t create their own god, but rather brought in a god from another world?

However, I had never seen anything like that jellyfish in another world.

So, is the otherworld we are talking about here a different place from the one I went to?

If so, how many other worlds are there?

“… … ”

After stopping the questioning that followed, I stared at the completed quest.

main quest.

At first, I wondered why the grandiose name of the main quest was attached to an incident related to a cult.

It felt like the question had been cleared up a little.

“I have to kill him first.”

I looked at the guy lying on the floor and said.

Even if I think about it like this, I can’t come up with any answer.

The clue is… that guy

No, I’m sure the next main quest from that guy will hold.

With that thought in mind, I quietly waited for the manpower to be sent by the Commissioner of Police.

So the matter of the day came to an end.

next day.

I returned to the support team 2 for the time being because it took time to research data because only reliable personnel were mobilized.

In front of me like that, another case was assigned.
