Chapter 062

I feel alive.

After mentioning Yamyeonggoe, people’s mood changed.

He was glaring at our group as if he were treating a criminal who had caught a forbidden fruit.

“Kill all those who insulted the priest!”

“Ugh!”

I wondered if there were real apostates hiding their power, but it was no good.

All of them were civilians with no special powers.

It was not difficult to subdue all of them.

[The Eye of Horus uses magic.]

[Level 2 non-attribute magic: Wide-area sleep. Those with low resistance fall into deep sleep.]

Most of the believers were put to sleep with magic cast by the Eye of Horus.

The few who managed to hold on were given a stinging beating.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .”

“say. “Where is the priest?”

“pond… sun. We will protect the priest… .”

“I get it.”

I knocked out a person who wouldn’t open his mouth until the end.

Perhaps because of their faith in apostates, no one was willing to open their mouths.

“No one opens their mouth.”

I put down the villager who resisted until the end.

Sooyeon Lee asked me.

“Is it okay now that I don’t have anyone to interrogate?”

“it’s okay. “Since we’ve made such a fuss, they’ll come back on their own.”

“Are you intentionally making a fuss?”

I nodded my head in response to Soo-yeon Lee’s question as she blinked.

“It is dangerous to storm the base with this much force. “We need to choose the battlefield as much as we want.”

It is true that both I and Jormungand are strong.

Just the two of us, we should be able to deal with most mid-level gods like we did with Horus.

If Jormungand shows his full potential, he might be able to take on even higher-ranking gods.

However, if the opponent is a guild, it is a different story.

No matter how strong Jormungand and I are, there is a limit to what two people can do.

In a situation where we did not know how big the power of the night monsters was, it was suicidal to attack their base.

So, let’s bring out the cowards hiding in the rabbit hole.

It makes it so that it has no choice but to come out.

‘There is only one variable.’

Kim Young-ah, who ran away with Radames.

An apostle who was sacrificed with Horus and went missing.

The only ones that Yamyeonggoe absorbed were Horus and Kim Young-ah.

The other two were spared as if there was no need for them.

Unlike Radames and Igor, he had no memories of her past.

Therefore, we do not know why Kim Young-ah was sacrificed.

‘Finish everything before the wild monsters find the Three Apostles Kim Young-ah.’

Suyeon Lee asked as if she was worried about what I said.

“Isn’t there enemy territory here too?”

“you’re right. “But the difference is that the other person has to come here.”

After we find those so-called priests, we will meet the remnants of the Night Monster here.

“Since we’ve caused such an uproar, I’m sure the Night Myeonggoe’s worshipers will come.”

What if it doesn’t come?

That too is its own income.

Looking at the atmosphere, the village has already been largely invaded by apostates.

‘If you bring evidence that it has been taken over by apostates and report it to the guild, they will take care of it.’

At that time, I felt a sign of presence not far away.

Not a nobleman.

-Dojin, the enemy.

“I know.”

A group of men and women emerged from the ruins.

They all wore the same white robe that covered their entire body, and had a luminous stone symbolizing the night monster engraved on it.

“How could you do this!”

These are probably the priests the villagers are talking about.

“You will be punished!”

“Damn heavenly punishment. Heavenly punishment should be received by you who deceive normal people and lead them down a strange path.”

“They follow false gods. I don’t know how you found out about our base… .”

“How can I not know when they are so openly active?”

I pointed to the tattoos on the villagers’ bodies.

The priests’ gaze changed.

“This is a trial given to us by God. Let’s punish that insolent heretic and save the suffering believers!”

“Saving believers… .”

An ominous light rose from the bodies of the priests who held their hands together.

The twisted power unleashed by apostates who follow the gods of this world.

Some say its power is a miracle, but it comes with terrible side effects at the cost of distorting reality.

Why are all those who believe in otherworldly gods like that?

“Jormungand, please provide support fire next to Lee Su-yeon.”

-okay.

“You can kill everyone except one.”

-I get it.

Light came from the bodies of the five priests gathered at the scene, and I approached them.

Night monster, a monster that glows at night.

Most of his followers used spells related to the sun and light.

After confirming that I could feel the heat from their bodies, I picked up the Sea King’s Trident.

[Blessing of the ocean currents]

Water gushes out and surrounds my body.

And then he threw the trident he was holding at the priest in front of him.

Phew!

“Wow!”

They didn’t seem to have any intention of blocking my attack.

They were filled with only the desire to complete their orders.

Strong heat pours from the sky.

It was a magic that never thought about my safety and the safety of other residents around me.

Even themselves.

I knew it would be like this.

These bastards of trash.

“Jormungand, stop the heat! “Just delay it a little so the heat doesn’t reach those people!”

-I need to increase my size. Does it matter?

“As long as it doesn’t grow bigger than that tree. ”

I pointed to the tree next to the road.

-I get it.

Jormungand, which had grown in size, opened its mouth.

A water cannon was fired, reaching a fireball that was settling in the sky.

Meanwhile I approached the priests.

“Access denied!”

A priest casts a binding spell.

The Eye of Horus, embedded on the left, naturally analyzed the priest’s magic.

[Analysis complete]

[Level 2 Binding Magic – Bind]

[This is a magic that can be dispelled.]

[Do you want to cancel?]

‘Release.’

With a slight sense of exhaustion, the binding magic disappeared without resistance.

“Huh?”

The embarrassed priest immediately chanted a spell to cast another spell.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know it once, it’s difficult to do it twice.

I quickly closed the distance and threw the hammer at his head.

The human body could not block the hammer of Hephaestus.

“Wow!”

“Don’t stop! “Your order will be completed soon!”

Then, the tattoos on the bodies of the two fallen corpses burned and flowed into the bodies of the remaining three.

“We will forever commemorate your glorious sacrifice… .”

“These crazy people.”

Both the gods and these guys were equally crazy.

Are there any sane people among those who follow the gods of this world?

I returned to the past to kill the god of human history, but the madmen in front of me were all enemies that I had to deal with.

He approaches with a sword.

I felt strong heat, but it was bearable.

It was weaker than the heat Horus used to burn my body.

Sizzling.

The feeling of my skin getting cooked is painful.

Even though I used the protection of the ocean currents, the heat bothers me.

[Level 5 fire magic – annihilation.]

[The magic, using the caster’s vitality, has far surpassed the caster’s level and is on the verge of runaway.]

[Cannot be released.]

Damn it.

That means everything has to be finished before that magic is complete.

[The Eye of Horus recommends magic.]

[You have insufficient mana.]

[Recommended for up to level 3 magic.]

[Level 3 Ice Magic: Ice Skin. Lower the heat. It is strong against fire attribute magic.]

[Do you want to cast it?]

Cast it.

The feeling of my mana rushing made me dizzy.

“Ugh!”

However, thanks to this, a cold feeling enveloped me and my entire body was protected.

Chiiik!

The cold melted quickly in the strong heat, but there was little damage to the body.

‘Are they unaffected?’

The apostates seemed fine and were more focused on their spells.

I pulled out my sword and decapitated the leader.

Suddenly!

“Wow!”

And then.

The third priest’s head was cut off with a sword, and the fourth priest’s chest was pierced by the dragon slayer.

“Off… . I am saved… .”

The last remaining priest.

Perhaps because he had the highest rank, the male priest who was casting a spell in the middle was now looking at me instead of at the flames.

The guy’s condition was beyond words.

A body swollen as if it would explode at any moment.

I was using so much of my life force that my body couldn’t accept it.

A fireball, blazing like the sun, was created in the sky by absorbing their life force.

“… Kill the heretic and you will be saved. God is watching over us.”

Blood poured out from the mouth of the last surviving priest.

The corner of his mouth twitched with a sense of accomplishment that he had fulfilled his role.

“God made us… Everyone watched.”

As soon as the priest fell, a fireball fell from the sky.

The guy was smiling.

This may be because of the tremendous sense of accomplishment that comes from sacrificing one’s life to achieve a great cause.

“I will live eternal life… I can… .”

That was his last will.

You idiots.

I felt sorry for the apostate dying before my eyes.

What is the meaning of eternal life after death?

In the first place, there is no rest for someone who gave their soul to the god of this world.

What they face is simply extinction.

Or, it was just about becoming one with the gods of this world.

-A soul contaminated by the god of this world cannot receive the god of death. Wandering in the Nine Heavens is also impossible.

Even Hades isn’t sure, so who can guarantee eternal life?

I said, looking down at the apostate whose light of life had completely gone out.

“You idiots.”

You’re not the god of human history, but you’re hoping for salvation from a god from another world.

They were no better than idiots and idiots.

Destruction slowly falling.

I held the Sea King’s trident.

‘Horus eyes, you can’t dismantle the magic, so search for a way to get rid of that fireball.’

[The Eye of Horus recommends magic.]

[You have insufficient mana.]

[Recommended for up to level 3 magic.]

[Level 3 Water Magic: Water Bomb. Explosive magic. It is strong against fire attribute magic.]

[The power is strengthened by the effect of the Sea King’s Trident.]

[Do you want to cast it?]

Leave it at that.

The moment I thought that, I felt my blood being forcibly drawn again.

“Huh!”

I let out a breath I couldn’t hold, and a water cannon the size of a closet appeared in the air.

It’s much smaller than the fireball floating above, but with the water that Jormungand is shooting out now, it’ll work somehow.

“Jormungand!”

-I get it.

At the same time as the huge water cannon was thrown, a large stream of water shot out from Jormungandr’s mouth.

Paaang!

The falling fireball hit two water cannons and exploded in the air.

The flame that fell to the ground was like a meteor, unable to land and completely ignited in the air and scattered.

It was the last of the flames that the five priests had created by sacrificing their life force.

“haha.”

-Are you okay? You look very tired.

“are you okay… .”

-Since these priests used such loud magic, other apostates will soon come. The number is too small for this to be the end.

“I know.”

I looked down at my body.

It’s difficult to even lift a finger.

Wounds received from the battle with Horus.

In addition, the mana that the priests of the night monster used to block the magic created with their life force.

Even though there were still enemies left, my body was screaming.

-If you fight like this, you won’t win.

“no it’s okay.”

I put my hand inside the kibisis.

An item prepared so that it can be taken out at any time.

-that… ?

“okay. “It’s an elixir.”

[Elixir – SS level]

[Description: A potion made with a solution containing the purest power from the Fountain of Life. It is a potion that can heal any wound as long as it does not kill you.]

An item obtained from Hephaestus and his stash.

If you save this, there may be places where you need more.

But I saw.

The end of Hephaestus, who died while caring for the elixir.

If you save it, it will turn into shit.

‘Better eat now.’

Considering the priests and cult leaders of the night monsters I would have to fight with in the future, I needed to stay in top condition.

and.

‘You don’t have to drink it all.’

I opened the bottle of elixir and put it in my mouth.

gulp.
