The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 171

counterattack.

counterattack.

“Move quickly! hurry!”

The woman’s voice urging me outside was somehow familiar. As if you’ve heard it before.

Fortunately, the warehouse at the top was wide, and even if the entrance was blown away, they had some time to find us. Giselle peered through the eye sockets of the mask toward the entrance.

“This is rather good. Anyway, we’ve already finished the search, and if we run away with my power right now, it’ll be like they stole all the stuff we stole. both hold my hand Let’s go back and get some rest.”

“huh!”

Jamel grabbed Giselle’s hand with one hand, clutching the bundle tightly.

“What are you doing without holding me?”

When I didn’t grab her hand, Giselle narrowed her eyes and glared at me.

Clearly, holding her hand and leaving right now was the easiest and most comfortable way. But for some reason, a part of my heart was bothering me. In particular, the woman’s voice coming from the other side was familiar.

I finally made up my mind. Instead of holding Giselle’s hand, I put my mother’s bundle in her hand.

“what? What the hell does this mean?”

“that’s right! Priest Marnak! Hurry up, hold Giselle’s hand and go back! If you’re not too tired, go back and play a card game together!”

“You two go back first. I’ll do my business for a while and then I’ll go back.”

Giselle stared at my face and replied briefly.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but that’s not a very effective option. Not the best option.”

“It might be a little late, so don’t bother waiting and go to bed first. I will be back before the morning sun rises.”

“then! I’ll stay and help! Priest Marnak saw how talented I am! Giselle alone carries the bundle!”

“no.”

If things went the way I expected, there might be a lot of blood. Because Jamel has a good heart, he’s not very helpful when it comes to killing people, and he didn’t even want to make Jamel do something that would hurt his heart.

I patted her on the head and smiled behind the mask.

“Both of you, please go back first. I’m not sending you first because it’s not helpful, so don’t be too disappointed Jamel.”

Quadduk!

The sound of indiscriminately opening the box gradually drew closer. There was no more time to talk leisurely.

“Giselle. hurry.”

At my firm urging, Giselle kept her mouth shut.

“…Don’t be found out like an idiot. let’s go. Jamel.”

“Priest Marnak! Don’t do that! Think again! That can really help…”

Jamel’s words were incomplete. A black shadow rose from the floor and swallowed Jamel and Giselle whole. When the shadows subsided, the two women had already disappeared without a trace. Together with the two bundles.

After all, it’s good that Giselle is quick-witted. She must have read something in my eyes. Of course, it might be because of my mood.

A wind blowing from the broken entrance. The faint scent of blood swayed in the wind and tickled the tip of his nose. Did you come in after killing the guards? Otherwise, is the battle still going on outside?

Both were good.

First of all, the first priority was to check the face of the woman who was in charge of this raid. I wondered why the voice sounded familiar to me.

If you can’t tell who it is from the voice, it doesn’t seem like you’ve run into each other very often.

I used the gaps between the stacked boxes to hide myself and proceeded slowly.

“hey! Hurry and break it!”

“I don’t think anyone is playing! Hurry up, you bastard!”

It was very easy to hide in the barrels being smashed so loudly by the armed raiders.

But the woman’s voice was not heard. It seemed that he had left for a while to lead a raid on a warehouse other than this one.

A crackling sound. There were a total of five enemies searching this warehouse.

The bracelet on my right wrist stretched to cover the back of my left hand in an instant. A harpoon fired from the back of the hand. Under the wrist is a blade that can pop out at any time.

I held my breath between the crates and waited for the first victim to approach.

“what? It seems like someone searched first for some reason…”

Phew.

The blade protruding from under the palm stabbed the man’s neck with precision. A single sting extinguished a life.

“mother.”

With a small murmur, the man’s body quickly crumbled and turned into a divinity.

[Divinity: 18799 – > 18899]

Divinity of 100. Just in case, I experimented with this divinity hiding necklace, which also concealed the divinity that leaked out naturally while I harvested divinity.

this is good

“what? gel? Where did this bastard go all of a sudden…”

Whoops.

In the stillness, I killed the attackers one after another and absorbed the divinity. He quietly stretched out his left hand and aimed at the last remaining enemy. The harpoon on the back of his hand flew through the air.

Whirik. hooked

“Ouch?!”

When he gently pulled his left hand, the metal thread connected to the tip of the harpoon that had been fired instantly shrank and returned to its original position. He did not forget until the last man and absorbed it into his divinity.

[Divinity: 18899 – > 19299]

First of all, the storage here is finished. If we assume that we have evenly distributed the number of people in the four warehouses, there must be at least 15 more enemies.

I slowly closed my eyes and focused on the sound I heard. The bristling sense squeezed all the sounds around him into his brain. flood of information. I calmly picked out only the things I needed from them.

“Move quickly! Write. These bastards are so slow! You bastards, you have to leave quickly before leaving the police station!!!”

found.

The woman was not far away. I jumped out of the door and quickly climbed up the wall, inserting my fingers into the rugged warehouse wall. Looking in the direction from which the woman’s voice came from on the roof of a huge warehouse, I saw a woman wearing a bright yellow mask with black patterns and a robe tightly pressed down.

I don’t know who this is because I can’t see his face. Can’t you just take it off and try it?

The reason I stayed here instead of going with Giselle was very simple.

Explosions and raids that took place openly in the city. This raid was very similar in form to both the murder that took place at the Mages Association branch and the surprise that took place on the Swallow. Especially in terms of complete disregard for the city’s public authorities.

“Move!”

little murmur. And the flow of the ensuing magical power. The flames from the woman’s grip blew open the locked warehouse door.

female wizard. According to Master, one of the three who killed the branch manager and secretary must have been a wizard. In particular, women who went to the wizard association are more likely to be wizards.

Everything was starting to fit.

I mean, they are the ones who shed the blood of my comrades.

I lowered myself on the roof and waited. The moment when I can completely surprise that sorceress.

“mother.”

‘killing?’

“I sometimes think of that every time I see people dying everywhere I go. The idea that the nasty fate that clings to me seems to be very desperate for blood. Would the guards who are now dying here and there wouldn’t have lived a little longer if I hadn’t come to this city?”

‘Kill!!!’

Crying out why it’s your fault. My mother replied that those over there were the ones I killed with my own hands and that they were going to die regardless of whether we came or not.

‘Kill kill!’

A proposal to kill them all quickly before the security forces arrive and take care of the divine or salty. As usual, my mother’s words calmed my troubled heart.

“Well, everyone is already dead, but I don’t think anything will change just because I worry about it here.”

The sorceress came slowly this way. alone too. Just good for surprise.

I quietly waited for the right moment and then fell quietly. Over the head of the masked sorceress precisely. The woman who heard me fall looked up.

“uh…?”

But her response was delayed.

hooked

A blade protruding from under the palm of her left hand stabbed her deeply into her shoulder. He thrust his right hand under the mask and closed the woman’s mouth. Retrieving my left hand, I continued to attack in succession like flowing water.

hooked hooked hooked

Without the slightest hesitation, the tendons in his arms and legs were severed.

“Aww!!!”

A suppressed scream escaped from the palm of my right hand. The left hand blocked the woman’s struggling mouth instead of the right.

cringe

With his right hand, he grabbed the other arm, which was still intact, and shattered it to the bone. Even without a sharp blade, my grip strength was sufficient.

I pressed the woman’s shoulders with both knees.

It was time to check this woman’s face.

When the yellow mask with black patterns was removed, the identity of the sorceress was soon revealed. After all, she was oblivious to me.

‘Oh man… Watch the back of your head when you bastard walks on the street. If I run into them on the street, I’ll be very annoyed!’

A woman who suddenly jumped out of the wizard association and bumped into her shoulder. It was then that I remembered a name I had heard at first glance.

Yes, did you say your name was Spina?

Her face was contorted with pain and looked quite different from the one I had seen then, but when I thought about it, it seemed like the same face that frowned at me.

He pressed the blade protruding from under the palm of his left hand to her neck and threw the bait in a low voice.

“Was it fun to blow up the wizard association branch? Did you really think you could get away with going wild like that? Please answer me once.”

I added briefly, removing my right hand from holding her mouth.

“If you uselessly recite a spell, I will kill you right here.”

“Two!!!”

He slowly turned his head to avoid the bloody saliva. Spina frowned and glared at me with burning eyes.

“Yeah, it was so much fun! 이 개새끼야!!! And I knew that if we were like this, a guy like you would come out like this!!! You goddamn god-worshiper bastard!!!”

But how did you know that I was a worshiper of evil spirits?

“And I didn’t come alone!!! This bitch!!!”

creepy living. I hit Spina in the face enough to keep me from dying and rolled forward.

A sharp awl pierced exactly where my head had been.

“Spinna! hey! Are you still alive! No, have you already died?”

“…I’ll be gone soon. You bastard… why are you so late…”

Spina’s head bent as it were. The man in the helmet felt Spina’s neck and let out a sigh of relief.

“He is still alive.”

It was a very familiar voice. I soon realized where I had heard this voice.

“…Ulthor?”

“what? What do you call my name… No, my name is ‘poison needle’.”

He slowly rose from his seat, holding a sword in his right hand and a pointed skewer in his left. The pointed end of the skewer was pointed directly at my heart.

Straight eyes glared at me beyond the black eye sockets.

“A worshiper of an evil god who is attached to the rotten emperor. I will reap that useless life here.”

one word. With that one word, all the puzzles fit together.

A secretary who had something to hide. And the branch manager who refused the secretary’s recommendation. An organization of artificial wizards that exists only here but not in the Northern Kingdom.

In the first place, it was unusual for mages to form an organization. At least national support was needed to force such a thing to happen.

After all, the Imperial Wizards Association was an organization created by the emperor to systematically use magicians.

Perhaps the secretary’s invitation to the branch manager was to work for the emperor, or else to help the worshipers of evil spirits.

Maybe the reason they tried to kill us and raided Dacia was because they misunderstood us.

I pulled out the sword I was wearing around my waist.

But now it’s all irrelevant. Conversation and compromise were only possible before someone’s blood was shed. As long as the blood of my comrades was shed by their threats and attacks, there was no compromise between me and them.

Santos recalls the bandages in Dacia that had blood stains on them. The scene of the day he died overlapped.

My heart swelled.

Kill Ultor for the price of Dacia’s blood. Kill Spina too. I’m not. We’re leaving again.

Behind the mask, he smiled broadly.

“You die here today. Same with the woman next to him.”

“You will die! Worshipers of evil spirits!!!”

shimmering power. Ultor’s timeline was twisted. An awl fired at me, accelerated by the authority of the wrong watch.

A vivid green tattoo ran over my skin. amplified body. Muscles squeezed to their limit let out a scream. The power he squeezed exploded.

The blade caught up with Ulthor.

“How…”

Kaaang!!!

The blade struck Ulthor’s Immortalium helmet. Ulthor fell to the ground and struggled to get up. Blood poured from the helmet’s mouth and eye sockets. He couldn’t get up easily.

“Cool. Cool.”

I was seriously thinking of killing him. Ceylon’s work saved him. But if you hit me one more time, I’ll die soon. I didn’t intend to take it long. I was planning to kill all the guys raiding the other warehouses.

“bye.”

“Wooh~”

A playful whisper-like cry. I reflexively raised my head to see someone standing on the roof of the warehouse.

dark brown robes. Two feathers on top of Robe’s cap like ears. A pair of owls sitting on their shoulders. A long staff in hand. The intruder gave off the atmosphere of a wizard that could only come out of a storybook.

The face that was supposed to be visible through the face hole of the tight-fitting robe was hidden in artificial darkness. However, judging from her slender body, it was highly likely that the owner of the robe was a woman.

A woman wearing an owl-like robe brandished a staff and spat out a short word.

“The crushing moon.”

In an instant, an intangible pressure pressed against my shoulders. strange power. It was neither authority nor magic. It was something different from the two.

I stood still and looked up at the woman. The invisible woman tilted her head when she saw me move well.

He picked up Ulthor’s awl that had fallen on the floor and threw it at the woman. The wand in the woman’s hand danced once more.

“A falling star.”

A ray of pure white light struck the awl.

“Who are you?”

“Wooh~”

It was still a playful word. The tip of the wand pointed at my face.

“A cool night breeze. warm soaring.”

I prepared for the next attack, but it wasn’t me she was aiming for. The bodies of Spina and Ultor, who had fallen on the floor, floated up and flew to the side of the woman.

Of course, I didn’t mean to just let it go. Leg strength strengthened by the Gate of Corruption kicked the ground. I lightly landed on the roof and glared at the woman.

“I don’t intend to send you well.”

Only then did the woman answer me for the first time.

“Worshipers of evil spirits clogged up and down. Trouble.”
