Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 119
Summoning Ritual (1)
“Kihihi!”
Outstretched fingertips. Cut off the wrist.
“Kyaa…!”
Aiming at the nape of the neck, the teeth were struck with the naturally drawn pommel of the sword and destroyed.
A sticky swamp lake. A fierce battle was taking place on the surface.
‘That’s amazing.’
Dallen thought as he briefly swung his sword and cut off the head of one of the vengeful spirits.
This is a place where, if you take even the slightest step, you will sink forever between ten meters of sticky sediment.
Being able to walk on such a lake as if it were dry land was a huge advantage for a warrior wielding a cold weapon.
Slap!
Girls running around leaving only shallow footprints in the swamp. In front of him
,
he steps on the swamp as if it were solid ground, creating large ripples under his feet.
Unlike general skills, unique skills are abilities recreated through an area.
An ability that has no concept of proficiency and can therefore be used as if it has reached maturity from the moment it is first acquired.
In addition, I have an intuition that if I raise my skill level a little more, I will be able to perform similar skills not only on the surface but also in the air.
Originally, it was an ability that was generally only obtainable towards the latter half of the game, so there were endless ways to delve into it.
Sugagak!
About halfway through the sword fight, three guys get caught at once. It was an interval where even preparatory movements were not allowed.
Dallen applied a little more force. Then the sword, which had stopped slightly, regained its speed.
“Kihihihi!”
“Hiya hee hee!”
After chopping up the three guys, there were five of them close by this time. There was no space to swing the sword at all.
But there was no problem. If it’s an interval where you can’t use the sword, you just don’t have to use it.
Good luck!
In a split second, armor of flame covered both hands from the fingertips to the elbows.
Damn it!
As soon as the arms become blurred, the five charging spirits fly backwards as if they were hanging on a string.
Collapsed skull. A broken neck.
The shattered ribs protrude through the skin of the back, and internal organs and blood fly everywhere.
with a splash! with a splash!
One offensive has passed, but not even a moment of leisure is given.
I lifted the sword I had just put down with my toe, and as soon as I snatched it up, I kicked it with my toe.
Sigh!
Float high in the air and tilt your head downward.
He could see dozens of swamp spirits rushing towards the spot where he had been standing just moments ago.
Kwasik!
“Kyahak!”
Even though they crash into each other and tear each other’s flesh, these monsters seem to have no intention of restraining their aggression.
After a hundred of them evaporated with the first blow, the ghosts only faltered in fear for a moment.
The moment Dallen took a step toward his mother’s womb, they started rushing at him again.
“Kihi kheuhu!”
“Hehehehe!”
Vengeful spirits who have given up on hiding in the spirit world and are driven by violence based on numbers themselves.
If you kill two, four will come over, and if you kill four, six will come over the corpses of their compatriots.
‘Of course.’
For Vengeance, the safety of the mother’s womb was the absolute number one priority.
And for Dallon, that relentless attack was actually a good thing.
Landing –
At the end of my thoughts, I spin around in the air and land on the water again.
Huge concentric circles spreading out from under your feet.
The first step of the unique skill ‘Step’ replaces a significant portion of the released magical energy with physical power.
Suuuuu….
The energy of crushing forming on the blade.
At the same time, you can look down on the entire lake through your wide-spread sensory sphere.
Most of the vengeful spirits that had been hunting in all directions had now returned to the lake where they were born.
Even though they cut down two and crushed four, the number that exceeded the number they defeated continued to flock in endless numbers.
But that too is over now.
As they flock to capture one Dallan, the vengeful spirits have built a dense siege network, ignoring their own safety.
The siege was so tight and water-tight that even Dallan could not escape through hand-to-hand combat alone.
If you choose to destroy it rather than escape, it was truly a golden opportunity to annihilate all enemies at once.
Furrrrr –
A brightly shining torch is added to the whirlwind-like energy of crushing.
Rumbling…!
The thundering sound in the image engulfs the entire sword body, and before you know it, the same thunderous sound is emitted from the dark clouds that filled the sky towards the ground.
Seonghwa and Lapantella’s Crushing Sword can now be stacked without difficulty after the dragon’s blood flows through the veins.
The first domain power added on top of that was “Thunder Strike”.
Based on the first step of the unique skill that sweeps through the whole body from the feet.
All power is transferred to a single sword strike.
Pudddeuk!
Even the body strengthened by the dragon’s blood lets out an ominous groan.
A miracle that was originally impossible to achieve due to the limitations of the body.
Since he had not yet obtained the mysterious body from Bourbon, condensing this level of power was actually quite an unreasonable action even now.
‘But to deal with a demon the size of Calkas, you need to have this level of secret power.’
Even under the evil spirits, he is one of the most powerful devils.
There probably wouldn’t be room to explore new powers in the middle of a battle with such a demon.
Practicing the trump move at least once in advance was the way to lay the foundation for victory.
“Kkihi…?”
The thoughts stopped there. The first flash of light extends from the tip of the sword.
Gurgling!
As the sticky surface of the lake split left and right, a storm of flames swept over the dense group of vengeful spirits.
There was no bloodshed.
Because the sacred flames consumed and burned the shattered bodies of the vengeful spirits.
“Kii…?”
Amidst the thick fog rising as part of the lake evaporated.
The few ghosts that managed to survive just hurriedly ran towards their mother’s womb.
***
It wasn’t difficult to sort out the remaining ghosts.
This was because after Dallen’s final blow, they could no longer hide in the spirit world.
‘I didn’t know Seonghwa had this ability.’
The storm of sacred fire that swept over nearly a third of the lake left a reverberation of divine power across a wide area.
As a result, the vengeful spirit’s ability to travel between the spirit worlds was temporarily completely sealed.
It is still unknown how divine power interferes with the supernatural abilities of vengeful spirits.
Since I intend to gain as many possibilities as possible, it would be a good idea to continue researching divine power and miracles.
‘You might really need it later.’
At what point is the approaching end?
Although he couldn’t pinpoint the exact time zone, Dallen was sure he would set foot there at least once.
‘There is no means of attack in hell as effective as divine power.’
hell.
Home to five evil spirits and hundreds of demons.
A world where all the negative possibilities that occupy an entire corner of the fantasy world have become reality.
It was a place that not many people had ever set foot in, even beyond the monitor. This meant that it was a dangerous and difficult place to visit.
‘It’s not a problem to worry about right now.’
Dallen lightly shook his head. He roughly threw away the corpse of the vengeful spirit with a hole in its chest.
Phew! Parallelak –
I snapped my fingertips, and an ax rose up from somewhere in the swamp and flew out.
The wind flew in the form of a flaccid disc, splashing the sewage deep in the swamp that had been buried on the surface in all directions.
“…….”
She put the sword in its sheath and roughly wiped away the dirt that splattered on her face.
Dallen approached the huge lump of flesh in the very center of the lake.
thud. thud.
The closer you get, the clearer the regular ringing becomes.
A huge fig-shaped lump of flesh measuring fifty meters in diameter. Beneath the thin skin, pipe-like blood vessels were slowly pulsating.
Each of the dozens of snouts hanging high up there was taking deep breaths, repeatedly inhaling and exhaling.
That is the process of absorbing the waste discharged from hell and floating around in the labyrinth.
Dallen slowly lifted the ax while looking at a part of the ecosystem being remade by a monster called Vengeful Spirit.
Sgak!
Lightly flick down. The tough, thick skin of the mother’s womb was only cut into the shell.
Dallen applied a little more force and lowered it again. It was a moment when I needed to control my strength, even considering the contents that would be filled inside.
How many times did that repeat?
Thump, thud, thud…
The skin, which is several times tougher than that of most monsters, is torn away.
Fuwaaaaak!
From deep inside, thin liquid pours out like a waterfall.
Gurgling….
Dallon, who had anticipated it in advance, took a few steps to the side and avoided it.
Half-melted bones, flabby flesh, and other parts of the monster’s body were pouring out along with liquid for a long time.
By the time the pouring liquid had changed to a stream-like flow, Dallan entered the hole in the torn flesh.
[…Wow.]
The devil exclaims. It was such an impressive sight.
A lump of flesh swollen several times larger than usual. Inside was the mother’s womb.
Tightly bound by tough flesh and tentacles, the monsters flail about with their limbs, gaping with half-melted mouths.
Starting with Frogman, the various monsters that inhabited the third floor of the labyrinth were captured alive here and were slowly being digested.
The stench stings my lungs. It wasn’t just a matter of a strong smell; it was a toxic gas that would cause pus on the skin of an ordinary person just by touching it.
Dallen raised his head, frowning slightly.
There was a gaping hole in the ceiling of the fleshy top of the huge stomach that could have contained something.
‘It was right to take out the core of the vengeful spirit.’
Originally, that hole should have contained the core of the vengeful spirit.
The empty hole, with the faint traces of gunpowder soot, meant that the rebels had taken out the core by some means.
‘Hundreds of monsters being digested alive must be an effort to fill that hole again.’
In order to create a new vengeful spirit core, a significant amount of nutrients was needed.
Originally, the core of a vengeful spirit was created by extracting the thoughts contained in the dregs of hell and purifying them separately for a long time.
It would be possible to regenerate at least a part of the core if it were the painful thoughts that countless lives emit as they rot and crumble alive.
The reason the vengeful spirits kidnapped the prey rather than killing it was to make it die in the mother’s stomach.
Ok. Ok.
Dallen passed through dozens of stomachs, digging into the thick gastric juices with the tip of his spear.
Most of what was caught were monsters. People who live in groups like frogmen. Or, predator-level monsters that protect their territory as independent entities, such as the eye turtle or the eel of Philerun.
After searching for a while, I was able to find a human shape in the middle of it. There were five agents and four rebels.
‘It’s hidden.’
The five agents were fine. It was natural since it must have been a while since he was anesthetized and thrown into the stomach.
On the other hand, the rebels, who had been rotting in their stomachs for several days, were all in a miserable state.
Between the corroded ribs, half-melted lungs desperately yearn for air, and the flabby skin has been completely peeled off the skull.
Fortunately, one of them survived. Looking at his decaying skeleton and muscles, he seemed to have once been a strong warrior.
Dallen transported him and the five agents out of the womb. And woke up the rebels.
Squeeze!
“Ugh uhhh…”
The rebel, awakened by light static electricity, groans. Dallen crouched down in front of the bastard’s tattered face.
“Betrayal. The elders betrayed…”
“Yes. “Looking at it, I can tell without even saying that I got hit in the head.”
He took out a hatchet. Since the guy didn’t seem to have much life left, the interrogation had to be short and sweet.
Dallen asked, resting the ax on one of his few remaining fingers.
“Rebel elders. What are they trying to do with the vengeful core?”
