I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons - Chapter 281
Nothing like this had ever happened in a past life.
Is this a variable that appears as fate changes?
Or is it the trick of hell?
Whatever happens, if you touch them… … .
Wood deok!
I clenched my fist as if it would break.
***
Inside the ‘Dungeon of Sin’.
Hiss! shhh!
Chara la la la rock!
A terrifying cry and the sound of scales clashing echoed in all directions.
to find prey that had just escaped.
The target of the food was the two women.
‘Cheet! Relentless bastards!’
Seong Mi-na hid herself in the gap in the dungeon passage and bit her lip.
In her arms was a bloody girl wearing a half-shattered helmet and a torn suit.
It was the A-class hunter Noeje who challenged this dungeon for the S-class promotion, and at the same time her precious younger sister Seong Mi-ri.
“haha. Uh sister.”
Miri breathed heavily and told Mina with difficulty
.
“Dak Shiva… … ! No, be quiet.”
Mina gently patted Miri’s head as she tried to suppress harsh words from
coming out without her knowledge.
Seong Mi-na was trying hard to reassure her sister, but her heart was raging like a riot.
‘Damn it, why did this happen!’
Seong Mi-ri, the younger brother who made rapid progress in a short period of time, challenged this ‘Dungeon of Sin’ to advance to S-class.
Because one of the conditions for S-rank promotion was to subdue an A-rank or higher dungeon alone.
Actually, Mi-ri’s choice of this dungeon was due to Seong Mi-na’s influence.
Externally known as S-class, Seong Mi-na is actually SS-class.
It can be said to be the best hunter in Korea.
Mina was stubborn with the Hunter Association, deliberately choosing a weak dungeon among A-ranks, and even dispatched herself as an examiner to prepare for an unfortunate incident that would happen in the first place.
It was in contrast to Mina’s previous life, in which she deliberately treated her sister coldly in order to prevent the growth of her younger sister, who was destined to become a victim of Hell.
Baek Yoo-hyeon, her partner, asked.
What kind of wind suddenly blew and changed my mind?
“… … I made a promise with that person, so I’ll do whatever Miri wishes.”
“Promise? Who the hell is that person to the point where you, like a steel tendon, change your mind?”
“joy! You don’t have to know!” I couldn’t bear to say that the trigger was a small and cute god I met in my dream
. The god, who resembled an ant, released the stigma of Hell that had plagued Mina for a long time. “It’s the first time I’ve
seen it, but it’s like I’ve known it for a long time, a familiar and dependable god. Besides, it wasn’t just her who dreamed of him. Miri, her younger sister, also had a tremendous improvement in her abilities after having the same dream as herself. “So,
sister
!
My
teacher
!
”
The relationship between the two sisters, which seemed to be broken at any moment, was restored by sharing the story of the unknown god they had seen in each other’s dreams.
It was a miracle.
Mina hoped for salvation in that miracle.
So, according to Miri’s wish, she allowed her to become an S-class hunter… … .
‘It must have been something that shouldn’t have happened.’
Mina later regretted it.
The first test seemed to go smoothly as Mina wished.
Miri used thunder and lightning freely enough that her nickname of “Thunderbolt” now suits her.
Its strength was comparable to that of other S-class veteran hunters.
However, right before Miri takes care of the boss monster in the Dungeon of Sin.
Great! Blasphemy!
Suddenly, a crack appeared inside the dungeon, and a monster emerged from the gap and was now targeting them.
Sensing danger, Miri hurriedly jumped into the dungeon to save Mina.
Even if it was an SS-class monster, Mina was confident enough to handle it somehow, but that far exceeded that level.
It’s the SSS level that only the worst monsters can stick to, or maybe even more.
shhh! shhh!
At that time, one of the eyes of the snake, which was looking for them as it scattered in all directions, pierced Sister Mina, who was hiding in the cracks of the dungeon like an awl.
Mina hurriedly activated her ability and broke the snake’s mind.
-Kiaak!
The snake vomited black blood and collapsed, but unfortunately it was a step too late.
Chow! Let’s go!
The terrifying rattling of snake scales echoed like raging waves in all directions.
“Chi-it!”
Mina
tried to run away carrying Miri on her back, but a swarm of snakes, which seemed to number in the millions, blocked the passage of the dungeon with their bodies. At that moment, parts of the snakes entangled and merged into a human form, slowly rising up. Its lips, which were made of snakes, opened. Her naked body and her hair made of living snakes reminded me of Medusa in Greek mythology. “What are you? Why are
you
targeting
us
?
”
-I am one of the great evil gods, lords of the Abyssal Swamp. consider it an honor I have chosen you, who are mere creatures of the lower realm, as sacrifices. It is to dedicate its flesh and blood and soul to become a part of me. Wouldn’t that be better for you than being eaten by Narak, the servant of the God of Destruction?
“shut up! Damn snake bitch!”
Narak.
It brought out the memory of the Narak Dragon, who branded them as sacrifices in the past. Only the
younger brother saves somehow.
Even if he sacrifices his own life, surely!
“Ultimate skill ‘Imagination Space’!”
The blood vessels on Seong Mi-na’s forehead soared as if they were going to explode, and red blood flowed from her nose and ears.
oh oh oh!
Great! Blasphemy!
Even the scenery inside the dungeon began to distort under the influence of Seong Mi-na’s mental ability, which she released with the momentum to pour out her life.
What Seong Mi-na is trying to use now is her best skill, which is to attract and seal opponents in her mental world.
-Whoops, that’s a trivial outburst.
I couldn’t contain that monster.
It’s like trying to fill the ocean with a well.
The snake woman sneered and waved her hand lightly.
Blasphemy!
Clink!
With that light gesture, her image space was destroyed before her abilities could be activated.
“커허억!”
능력의 반동에 성미나가 가슴을 움켜쥐며 시커멓게 죽은 울혈을 토했다.
그런 그녀를 가엾다는 듯 내려다보며 뱀 여인 심연 늪의 지배자가 혀를 끌끌 찼다.
-가엾구나. 고작 하위 세계의 피조물 따위가 위대한 신의 정신을 가둘 수 있을 거라 여겼느냐? 어찌 이리 아둔한 존재인지.
심연 늪의 지배자가 자신의 권속에게 명령했다.
-자아 어서 제물을 내게 바치거라.
쉬익! 쉬이익!
그러자 사방에서 울부짖는 검은 뱀 떼가 해일처럼 쏟아지며 미나와 미리를 집어삼켰다.
아니 그러려 했다.
미나는 보았다.
자신들 앞에 우뚝 선 채 해일처럼 몰아치는 검은 뱀의 해일을 겨우 검지 하나로 막고 있는 남자를.
이상했다.
분명 처음 보는 남자였지만 왜인지 모르게 너무나 낯이 익고 친근한 기분이 들었다.
마치 꿈속에서 보았던 그 작고 귀여운 신님처럼…….
“누군가 했더니 너였냐 뱀?”
The only male god glared coldly at the ruler of the abyssal swamp.
God proves his qualifications
Shiik! Shih!
The black snakes wriggled wildly and howled, but they were blocked by the wall of divine power spreading from my fingertips, so they couldn’t even move.
Swoop.
“Someone said, was it you?”
I looked beyond the swarm of snakes and glared at the being who summoned it. It
was one of the evil gods who had tormented me in my previous life, the ‘Ruler of the Abyssal Swamp’ who was devoured by the emperor. No, to be exact, there was an Avatar
body of it .
The time zone is different, but it was definitely
like this in my previous life. Yes, in a world that is about to be destroyed by the God of Destruction, these evil gods gather for sacrifice. “You… no, who are you? You’re a first-time Hunter.
”
Mina looked at me with eyes filled with complex emotions while holding the bloodied Miri in her arms.
For a moment, my heart felt a little tight.
I must have been a stranger to them, as I felt anew that the connection I had with them in my previous life had disappeared.
– A Shinto Salvation Quest has occurred.
-Target: ‘Seong Mi-na’ ‘Sung Mi-ri’.
– Sole God, will you save your followers ‘Seong Mi-na’ and ‘Seong Mi-ri’ from the danger of death? (Yes/No)
However, the relationship between the gods and believers still remains.
I’m satisfied with that.
“The ring finger of a healing god.”
I extended my ring finger to them.
Flash!
Tsutsutsu!
Then, the pure white light wrapped around the injured sisters and instantly healed their bloody bodies.
Mina looked at me with widened eyes at that miracle
.
“Mr. Seo?”
Miri, who was healed of her injuries, stood up in Mina’s arms and looked at me with eyes that sparkled like starlight
.
I involuntarily smiled slightly.
Thank you for remembering what happened in your dreams like this.
“Yes, bye. it’s in advance I missed you.”
“The only god… sir…”
Tears welled up in Miri’s eyes. When Mina saw her like that, she looked at me again with surprised eyes.
“Are you all that god?”
That’s when
the swarm of snakes that were about to attack the Mina sisters fell back like the ebb.
Sigh
.
The ruler of the Abyssal Swamp, who was wearing a body shaped like a human woman made of snakes, stared at me as if observing me and politely asked. .”
Yes
.
”
The reason why I came back after going through many years of endurance in the Tower of God.
Because it was to become a god to save the people I love and this world.
“I am the one and only God in this world.”
At my declaration, the empty eyes of the ruler of the Abyssal Swamp shone with admiration. -I am amazed that a
deity like you exists on a planet of such a lower realm that is about to be destroyed. I thought those creatures were just sacrifices to the God of Destruction, but were they your followers? “My precious family.
”
– Ho-ho-ho! It’s a very low-quality joke that a god like you is family with such low creatures.
The lord of the abyssal swamp laughed, shaking his snake chest.
– But I knew your heart well. For some reason, they said that they felt a desirable aura of blessing besides the simple stigma of the god of destruction, so it must have been from your protection.
The lord of the abyssal swamp stretched out his hand.
Great! Blasphemy!
Then, cracks appeared in the air, and black darkness wriggled.
Squeak. She slowly pushed herself into the crack.
-Looking at the side of you, the god of this world, I’ll leave you alone for today. After all, I wouldn’t be able to deal with a divinity like you with such a crude incarnated body.
I silently watched how much it did.
Crushing that thing is an easy task even for me now, whose spiritual power has been weakened due to the multiplication of alter egos. But anyway, that’s the incarnation, not the body. Because it was pointless.
-But if you have any dissatisfaction with today’s work, I would like you to come to my world. If you have the courage to do so! Ho-ho-ho!
With a laugh of seduction and provocation, the lord of the abyssal swamp and the swarm of snakes he commanded vanished completely beyond the rift.
oh oh oh!
The ruler of the Abyssal Swamp has disappeared, but the cracks it left behind still linger, spewing out gloomy darkness as if to tempt me.
Oh yeah.
Are you asking me to follow you?
I held the hands of Mina and Miri, who were watching the scene with a smile and blank eyes.
“I have to finish some work here. My sisters, would you like to wait outside for a while?”
“What?”
“Yes?”
I sighed.
