How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 50
50. Ruins Depths 4
“The black grip… is extinct?”
Aile muttered with a shocked face.
It could never have been possible for the black grip to perish so easily.
“No nonsense! The black grip…”
Fu-wook!
Aile stabbed himself in the arm with the dagger once again.
“It is the power of God that He bestowed on me!”
This time, the bloody dagger drew a magic circle in the air.
Knock!!
The broken black grip reappeared and grabbed Kang Seung-hyeon, but
“became a sacrifice…”
But this time as well.
Faaaaaa!!
The black grip that held Kang Seung-hyeon was extinguished by a powerful force.
“How did this happen!!!”
I’il shouted in disbelief, but
[The effect of the item registered in the slot is activated.]
Kang Seung-hyun smiled at the message that appeared in front of him.
[2: Orb of Kirkarashtel]
The reason Kang Seung-hyun was able to escape from the black grip was thanks to this item.
‘I think I survived thanks to this guy.’
[Kirkarastel’s Orb]
[Strong magic resistance] [Powerful
magic
defense]
[Others unknown]
At first glance, Aile’s [Black Grip] looks like black magic, but it’s not actually black magic.
Power bestowed by God, just like the priests use it. In other words, it is a ‘divine skill’.
It uses black magic instead of divine power, so it just doesn’t look like a normal divine skill.
‘I guess there are more hidden abilities?’
Items examined with [Observation Eye] can reveal only very simple information.
It seems that Kirkarashtel’s orb hides some special ability.
“you you! What the hell have you done!”
As Aile ran wild and drew his dagger into the air, a sword filled with dark magic flew out.
Aaaaaaa!
[The effect of the item registered in the slot is activated.]
However, it also disappeared the moment it touched Kang Seung-hyun’s body.
Aile muttered with a bewildered face.
“This can’t happen…”
“Oh, maybe?”
Kirkarashtel’s Orb is an item found in the Boss Room. The original owner of this object is the dungeon’s boss Isle Croa.
‘Is the ability hidden in this orb related to that guy?’
Seunghyun Kang took out the orb with a calm face.
“This is well written. Is the effect good?”
“You bastard petty thief… at some point!!!”
When I took out the orb and showed it, Ail screamed and ran wild.
“Give it to me now! How dare you with those filthy hands!!”
“uh? Did you forget what Mr. Ergan said?”
Items found in the boss room belong to the person who found them. You don’t have to share it with other party members.
“You should have found it before me.”
“You guys stole it!”
Of course, the original owner of this orb would be the boss of the dungeon, Ail.
“Even if it’s an alter ego, I’m the one who defeated the boss, so I should have it.”
It is basic common sense for an adventurer who has defeated a boss to rob the boss room and take an item. There is no reason to return it to Ail.
“So this is mine now.”
“If you don’t give it to me right away, I’ll cut off your limbs and give it to you as dog food!”
With Aile’s cry, black beasts in the form of dogs appeared from the bottom of the ruins.
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
.
The black beasts showed their teeth and threatened as if they would attack at any moment.
“Ki-ing…”
As Kang Seung-hyun held out the orb, everyone lowered their tails and stepped back.
“This orb seems to have the effect of neutralizing your powers?”
“….”
“And if you see how much they care about it…”
The identity of this orb is an item imbued with the power of a god. It was a holy relic.
“It must be a relic of a forgotten god.”
In other words, the name of the god Ail worships is Kirkarashtel.
‘It’s a name I’ve never heard of, perhaps because it’s a long-forgotten god.’
Maybe the name is unnecessarily long and complicated, so people can’t memorize it and forget it.
“You were an apostle who followed Kirkarashtel and received power from him.”
All of the black magic Aile uses are divine skills given to her by Kirkarashtel.
‘There’s no way that guy’s attack would work on the holy relic.’
In other words, the hidden ability of the orb is ‘Nullification of the divine skill of Kirkarashtel believers’. This is because the priests cannot destroy the holy relic that contains the power of the god they worship.
“As long as I have this, your black magic is useless.”
As long as he doesn’t steal the orb with this, A’il can’t sacrifice Kang Seung-hyeon. All skills for sacrificing ceremonies will also be nullified.
“okay. I can’t attack you with his power, but…”
Aile gnashed his teeth and muttered.
He is a log who can use black magic and wield a dagger at the same time.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a log skill!”
Because of the orb, black magic was sealed, but dagger skills were not sealed. Aile grabbed the Ederme of Sacrifice and ran.
“I will kill you and retrieve the orb!”
“If it’s that important…”
Kang Seung-hyun lifted the orb and said,
“Would you like to hold it?”
suddenly dropped to the floor.
Perhaps if Kim Ho-jung or someone else was awake, they would have seen it and said this.
‘Are you crazy? Why throw it away?’
‘I can’t stop Ail’s black magic without the orb!’
Since Kang Seung-hyeon released the orb from his hand, he would think that A-Il’s black magic would come flying.
“This vile bastard!!!”
The opponent is Kirkarashtel’s fanatic. Rather than attack Kang Seung-hyeon, he would choose to protect the relic.
“Kirkarastel’s orb!!”
Aile threw down the dagger without hesitation and reached out.
“I knew that.”
Seeing that, Kang Seung-hyeon took out the sticky potion from his inventory.
Originally, the sticky potion is a potion used to make a sticky trap by throwing it, or
‘If you use [Thread] here, you can pull out a sticky thread.’ When the
[Thread Drawing]
skill was activated, a sticky thread came out from the sticky potion.
Chow!
Kang Seung-hyeon swung a sticky thread and attached it to the falling orb. And the moment Aile was about to catch it, he raised the orb as if fishing.
Poof!
“uh?”
Raising his head hurriedly, Il met the crossbow pointed at by Kang Seunghyun.
“You son of a bitch!”
Ailee was very upset.
It’s too close to avoid it, and
“I threw the dagger, so it’s not good to block it with dagger skills like before.”
There was no dagger in my hand, so I couldn’t reciprocate.
“Eat quietly.”
Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger without hesitation.
PABABABABAK!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
A sharp arrow pierced Ail’s head. Aile screamed and roared.
“Because he’s an apostle, he won’t die just by piercing his head.”
Apostles are so strong that they cannot be compared to ordinary people. It is not easy to die even if an ordinary person is injured as it is now.
“I will still feel the pain.”
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Thanks to that, Ail had to experience the pain of being shot in the head by an arrow while still alive.
‘Since I used up the arrows of the Holy Water of Dawn earlier, I have no choice but to hit them until I die.’
Even an apostle who received divine power is still human at first. If you keep attacking like this, you will die. Kang Seung-Hyun pulled the trigger without stopping at the roaring A-Il.
“Iaaaaaaa!!!”
Then Ayle screamed and slammed his bloody palm on the floor.
“Black thorns!”
Black thorn tree trunks rose from the ground and wrapped around Ail’s body.
Pak!
grasp!
The flying arrows were blocked by the stem. He was thinking of buying time with this, but
‘I’ll just cut it off.’
Kang Seung-hyeon took out the blue dagger without hesitation.
[Incision]
Aww!
As he swung his dagger to tear off the stem, the figure of Ail hiding inside was revealed. The guy pulled out the arrows stuck in his body and healed his wounds with his recovery skill.
“Dark Restore!”
The wounds pierced by the arrows began to heal as dark magic passed through Ail’s body. It seems to be a recovery skill exclusive to black magicians.
‘Of course I can’t just let him recover.’
Kang Seung-hyeon picked up the stem of the thorn tree he had cut off and put it in.
[Pria’s Bonding Bag]
[Generates a black thorn arrow.] If
you are stabbed by a normal thorn tree, there is a certain chance that you will bleed. So, if you make an arrow with this, you can inflict a bleeding debuff on the target.
PABABABABAK!!!
When Kang Seung-hyun pulled the trigger, a black wooden arrow with thorns was driven into A-Il’s body.
[Critical!]
[Abnormal status ‘Bleeding’!]
Blood spurted out from the wound where the arrow was stuck.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Isle tried to recover with Dark Restore, but each time his stamina was reduced due to bleeding. No matter how good a recovery skill is, it can’t perform at its full potential if it has a status abnormality.
‘If I could at least block the arrows, that scene wouldn’t have happened.’
If Aile hadn’t let go of his dagger, he would have stunned all the arrows that came flying by.
However, the guy threw away his knife to save the orb. He lost his judgment in the depths of his faith.
‘At the point of discarding the dagger, defeat is confirmed.’
Black magic doesn’t work, and the only thing I can trust is dagger throwing away his weapon. The only word that comes out is stupid.
“Turn off… turn off…”
Puff!
Aile, with arrows all over his body, fell to the floor spurting out a lot of blood. It was such a miserable situation that I couldn’t open my eyes.
“Anyway, the young apostles are a problem because their brains are bad.”
Those who blindly follow God are not suitable.
‘If something like this falls to the ground, it will crack or get scratches.’
If he hadn’t been obsessed with the orb, at least he could have inflicted a fatal wound.
Kang Seung-hyun looked down at I-il with a puzzled face.
“Well… that kind of monster can’t be a normal human…”
Ail, who thought he was dead at that time, opened his mouth. But he doesn’t seem to have the strength to lift a finger.
“Kirkarastel said…”
“What is Kirkastel?”
“You said you felt an indescribable presence watching over Kang Seung-hyun.”
Aile laughed and murmured. It seems to be referring to the ‘administrator’ beyond the status window. Seeing as he noticed that, Kirkarashtel was also a god.
“…After all, isn’t that the same as saying that you were also an apostle of God?”
“I don’t believe in gods.”
“But it must be true that you received power… otherwise you wouldn’t be that strong…”
“That’s true.”
Aile’s words are not wrong. Dimension movers use the status window created by the manager, so it can be said that they received power from God like the apostles.
“I’m different from fanatics like you.”
Unlike the apostles who voluntarily believe in God, Kang Seung-hyeon has no choice but to cooperate in order to return to Earth.
He had no intention of serving the Administrator.
“To put it bluntly, I am a slave.”
Kang Seung-hyun aimed the crossbow at A-il’s head.
“slave? That can’t be the case…. How could anyone give a slave such power… You’re not a slave…” ”
Oh, I don’t know about that.”
Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger of his crossbow and fired all the remaining arrows.
PABABABABAK!
A huge number of arrows landed on Isle’s head. No matter how many apostles they were, they couldn’t survive with such a fatal wound.
“He did recommend a good weapon.”
Ail wriggled his hand a few times, but it didn’t take long before the movement completely stopped.
“He died at last.”
[Fria’s crossbow disappears.]
Kang Seung-hyeon took the crossbow. He won’t move again. Unless there’s something special going on.
