The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 120

meeting.

meeting.

Before I could answer anything, Wolfie spewed out words like a storm to herself.

“you you! That’s it! It would be obvious if you didn’t touch the girls while walking around like that!!!”

She grabbed her bountiful tail and shivered as she thrust her tail at me. And he spat out a bombshell declaration.

“You are a hydrophobic! If you don’t have fluffy hair, you can’t get excited! That’s why I kept myself alive like this!!! ruler! You can touch me! So please kill me…”

I wanted to touch that fluffy, hairy tail at least once, but if I touched that tail in the current situation, things would go to worst. First of all, I felt the need to calm that trembling wolfie.

“There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding…”

“Come on! touch! I’ll let you touch it as much as you want, so please help me!!! I can’t die yet!!! How did I survive…”

“Shut up!!!”

Jamel jumped up like a fish out of water, came in front of me, and snapped off his bountiful tail that was thrusting into me.

“This renegade swindler is talking nonsense!!! Priest Marnak is not the kind of person who would raise an eyebrow just because he had a hairball stuck in! Just one more time, just push a dirty hair ball that you’re not even sure you’ve washed properly at Priest Marnac!!! They just know how to pluck all the tail hairs and stuff the inside of my pillow!”

“My tail hair is not dirty at all!!!”

Of course, Jamel, ignoring Wolfie’s words this time, opened his small mouth to expose his white teeth and growled at Wolfie. So she gave me a completely unthreatening threat, then turned her head to me and glared at me.

“Did I do well?”

“Very well done.”

It seemed that this misunderstanding could be resolved a little easier thanks to Jamel making a fuss before Dachiana, who had a bad expression, and her angry mother could say anything.

“Wolfie.”

“Yes?”

“What I want from you is not a body. And I’m not even a homosexual. Instead of sparing them, I just want them to help us cross the border on that ‘unofficial’ route.”

“Ask me to cross the old border…? That’s not my main job…”

“So you can’t?”

I expressed my intentions simply by tapping the handle of the sword. The effect of my gestures was great.

“I’ll do it!!! I’ll do anything!!! I will really help you cross the border somehow!!!”

“This is a very wise decision. Then, I wish you well in the future.”

When I reached out my hand, Wolfi noticed Dakia and other colleagues and quickly grabbed my hand. hand holding tightly. She shook my hand more earnestly than anyone else, as if my palm were her lifeline.

“If you let me cross the old border, will it really save me?”

I smiled and nodded.

“If you successfully handle the job, I will pay you separately.”

“really?”

At the word reward, her fox ears perked up. You may wonder if you really need to pay for it, but it was more troublesome for Wolfy to have other thoughts while making him do the work for free.

“yes. Instead, since I have this job, I will pay you as soon as the job is finished.”

“It doesn’t matter as long as you give me a drink…”

Dakia, who had come close to me before I knew it, looked at Wolfi and said.

“Priest Marnak. Is it okay if I take Wolfie with me from now on? You need at least one person to keep an eye on your work.”

Certainly, as Dacia said, it was necessary to have someone by Wolfy’s side. A wispy orange head popped out between me and Dakia.

“that!! Can’t I do that!!! I will really watch every move of that traitor very diligently!!!”

Dakia pondered for a moment at Jamel’s enthusiastic support, then shook her head.

“But Jamel doesn’t have the power to stop Wolfy even if he runs away.”

poignant point. Falling in love with passion, Jamel, a worshiper of evil spirits, could never openly use his power unless the situation was right due to the nature of his power. Jamel’s shoulders drooped.

“That’s right…”

Dakia patted Jamel’s drooping shoulder and smiled.

“If you can’t be alone, you can watch with me. Priest Marnak, can Jamel and I watch over Wolfie?”

“Then please.”

Perhaps feeling something from Dacia’s smile with an animalistic intuition, Wolfie grabbed my collar with her tail stiffly erect.

“Can’t you just watch over me…?”

“No.”

Dacia, still not erasing the smile from her lips, removed Wolfie’s hand from my collar.

“Please follow me. I plan to burn all the corpses from now on, so please watch from the side.”

Wolfy let out a shrill scream as he was dragged away by Dacia.

“I don’t want to see that!”

“The traitor has no choice!!!”

Jamel, who chased after Dakia, circled around Wolfie and constantly scolded him, as if he wanted it at this time.

It was truly a peaceful sight.

“Once, this is the solution. isn’t it? mother?”

‘killing!’

My mother, who came out of my arms with the light, looked at me and asked.

‘killing?’

He asked if he would give the fox real money. Mother quickly waved her hand and added a few words.

‘Kill and kill.’

As soon as you cross the border, it is recommended to dispose of it without even knowing mice or birds. I smiled bitterly and patted my mother on the shoulder.

“You did a good job, but isn’t it a bit too much to kill? Well, I plan to watch it for now. If you do anything suspicious, I will cut you mercilessly, so don’t worry too much.”

***

For the next few days, Wolfie was busy running around under Jamel and Dacia’s watch. According to her, she is in the process of reconnecting the string that was connected to Scann. Dakia, who went with Wolfie, said that he was working more enthusiastically than he thought, so it’s safe to say things are going well for now.

Caang!!!

Clash of metal against metal. The butcher who didn’t turn on the engine clashed with the Immortalium sword.

left? right? I slew the sword obliquely to the left as my instincts told me. However, the range of motion of the metallic body always exceeded what I expected. The sword, which had been bent at an angle that could not be broken, aimed at me again and savagely charged.

– Be careful! Heir!

However, when it comes to the body, this side has long since deviated from normal standards. The butcher’s trajectory was bent.

Caang!!!

bouncing sparks. A shivering shock spread through my sword body and into my hand. Two sword blades bounced in opposite directions. Of the two, it was Tergio’s sword that moved first, not mine.

diagonal. The blade of the sword aimed at my shoulder and reached out. I quickly leaned back and dodged the sword at a close interval. Hold your breath and condense the strength of your muscles. As he bent his back, he swung the butcher without hesitation.

Caang!!!

Tergio’s sword bounced off and flew through the air, spinning several times before landing in the yard of the inn.

kang! kang! kang!

Tergio opened his mouth, clapping his two metal hands together.

– You’re great. successor. You feel really fast.

I wiped the sweat pouring down my body with my hand and smiled.

“Isn’t it all thanks to Tergio’s support?”

If I fought barefoot without using authority, I couldn’t defeat Tergio yet. It was not only because his body was made of immortalium, but also in terms of the precision of his swordsmanship, I was inferior to Tergio.

Although, in the first place, I had been taught to wield extremely simple basic movements as my instincts told me to.

– no. successor. Even in light of the statistics entered into me, the heir’s growth rate is abnormally fast. This is true even in light of the statistics of those who are commonly classified as ‘geniuses’! I, Tergio, are very honored to be able to serve such an extraordinary heir!

“I don’t know what to do with the excessive praise.”

– By the way, heir. Do you really want to learn the ergonomically proven swordsmanship of the Imperial Guard? Judging from the Heir’s acquisition speed, you should be able to become somewhat proficient in about three months.

It was a swordsmanship used by the Imperial Guard of the ancient empire. It was a brilliant proposal just by hearing it, but I had no choice but to reject it.

“it’s okay. Some people might get angry if I learned another swordsmanship for no reason.”

I didn’t dare to learn because I didn’t expect what kind of reaction would be if Master Fridiya found out that I was learning and using a different swordsmanship. Master was the kind of person who would just smile and pass lightly on other matters, but swordsmanship was a completely different matter.

Besides, since Master had stepped forward, it was clear that whatever he was entrusted with would have been roughly sorted out. He will probably appear in front of me soon, so it won’t be too late to go there and ask him and learn the swordsmanship of the Imperial Guard.

‘killing!’

A soft towel. My mother smiled and held out a towel to me, who was covered in sweat. I smiled at my mother and accepted the towel.

“thank you.”

Two white palms greeted me. Despite my greetings of thanks, my mother still smiled and held out her palms while exerting silent pressure on me. I took out a fairy tale I had prepared in advance from my pocket and put it in my mother’s hand.

‘killing!’

Only then did my mother put the fairy tale she had received from me with a satisfied face into the small pocket she wore around her neck. That pocket piggy bank hanging around my mother’s neck was something I couldn’t even touch. I don’t know what the heck he’s trying to do with all his pocket money, but I’m glad he seemed to have a lot of fun working voluntarily.

After roughly wiping off the sweat with a towel, I paid the owner of the accommodation to wash with the water requested in advance and came out.

Dakia, who spotted me coming down from the second floor, waved her hand and smiled broadly.

“Priest Marnak! here it is! I’m about to order dinner soon, but what would you like to have, Marnak?”

“You can order it with meat.”

I didn’t feel the taste anyway, so there was no reason to choose the menu with care. Because that’s it.

When I sat down, Wolfie started talking, wagging his tail.

“I’m almost ready. I think we can leave the border tomorrow night.”

Realizing that we hadn’t done much to her over the past few days, except for Jamel’s beatings, she went on with a relaxed attitude.

“But are you really going to go over to the Northern Empire?”

“yes. I think so.”

“Even though it’s a real piece of shit that can’t even be compared to here?”

“Are you here to ask?”

Wolfie snorted exhilaratingly, then rested his chin on his chin and looked over the group.

“I sent it for no reason, but the situation in the Northern Empire is different from what I thought, so I’m afraid they’ll take advantage of my curse words.”

“I’m skipping because I have work to do, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Two pricked ears. The fluttering tail added speed.

“What are you going to do? I think it would be a lot of money for a group of people with skills like you to do, right? huh?”

“It hurts to know more.”

“huh? don’t you? Can’t you just teach me once? My mouth is so heavy!”

She sighed and tried to lean on me subtly.

“Just go there. Priest Marnak is bothering you.”

At Dacia’s short words, Wolfie rolled her eyes and quickly moved away from me.

“Yes! okay!”

Wolfie was strangely afraid of Dacia. After a while, the food we ordered came out. Steam rising over hot food. I scrutinized the food and smiled.

“Then let’s all rest well until tomorrow and cross the border tomorrow night.”

***

A dark night. Following Wolfie’s guidance, we walked down a path filled with only faint moonlight. As it was an illegal road, I couldn’t go there with a torch visible from afar. Fortunately, my body had enough light from the faint moonlight, so I could see the tail wagging in front of me.

Wolfy stood tall.

“wait for a sec. There’s someone I should have been waiting for here…”

She puckered her nose and quickly came over to me and whispered.

“It smells like a corpse. I think something is wrong.”

As I focused on my sense of smell, I could feel the smell of the corpse she said on the tip of my nose.

“Once I go check it out. Wolfie, please stay with the company for a while.”

“Yes.”

Quietly, I drew my froststeel sword and made my way to the source of the smell of corpses.

Are people the problem again? It’s really not easy to cross the border once.

But when I arrived at the corpse, I realized that this was not a man’s problem.

Gnawn pieces of intestines and missing heads. The fishy smell of bodily fluids.

This was the work of a demonic beast.

They say the Northern Empire is a mess. Wasn’t this area even equipped with basic monster control?

“In that case, it’s better to be human.”

Kirik!

Something jumped out and ran toward me. I reflexively swung my frost-steel blade and cut the attacking monster in half.

Kiririririk!!!

The dead demon was a black wasp. A black wasp the size of a human body. If this is a real bee beast, it will never go alone…

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Flames soared from where the party was. That was definitely Dacian magic.

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly when I saw the flames rising with a splendid explosion.

It’s completely wrong to sneak past this.
