The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 192

doping.
Veins protruded over the pure white skin. The bloated right arm took on a very stable shape unlike before. The breath that leaked out through the heated lungs turned into pure white steam, dyeing the surroundings pure white.
Marnak stood still and looked at Cadishaw.
The moment he administered the medicine Ather gave him, he realized what he could do, but it still took some time for the effect to take effect. There was no need to provoke Cardisho, who had lost his temper just yet.
pounding.
trembling in the chest. heartbeat. Change has been slow. Most of the demonic factors that spread through the bloodstream were swallowed up by Marnak’s body, which refused to change, before they could exert their full effect.
But that was also to be expected. Ather compressed and injected a lethal dose of magical beast factors into the medicine he gave to Marnak. It’s so tenacious that it’s close to madness. And his calculations fit neatly.
pounding.
another beat. change has begun. With a clanking sound, the black armor covering Marnak’s arms disappeared.
Cardisho, who had been standing there blankly, opened his eyes to the sound of metal. The bright bloody eyes contained the corpses that had died mercilessly.
“Evil…”
Red blood flowed like tears from the corners of his open eyes.
“Vengeance of the innocent…”
His bloated right arm wriggled. The huge fist soon became violence itself and swept the surroundings.
Kwaaaang!!!!
A gaping hole in the wall. Scattering dust and debris. Cardisho raised his fist once again. Evil is still here.
“Whoa.”
The shallow breath he exhaled became white steam and spread out. Marnak shook his bare arm. A wriggling bloodline. Steam continued to rise above the skin heated with hot blood. Loosening himself up, he smiled brightly.
“This is really hot enough to make your head spin. Is that why Cardi Show has lost its taste like that?”
“Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”
sharp grunt. With him, a huge fist rushed at Marnak, smashing all fists. Marnak did not dodge. I just held out my right arm, where the veins were squirming.
The extended right hand splits and splits again. The randomly split and tangled pieces of flesh take their own form. The intact hand instantly turned into five fleshy tentacles.
Five tentacles swelled up and clambered up his right arm like a snake. Marnak turned around and swung his arm.
“Haaaaaaaa!”
Cardisho’s body came to mind. Marnak, without hesitation, slung her body in the opposite direction.
Kwaaaaang!!!
The woman’s body floated to the ground. The shock of being slammed on the hard floor without any defense spread through Cardisho’s whole body.
“Cool.”
A regurgitation of blood ran down the corners of Cardisho’s mouth.
“Now come to your senses…”
“Gaaaaa!!!”
More veins sprout on his bloated right arm. Cardisho grabbed the fleshy tentacles that wrapped around his arms and slammed them to the ground.
Quaang!!!
Marnak’s body crashed into the floor and fell. His body was crushed on the metal floor and blood spurted out. His body finished regenerating faster than it was broken. Marnak removed his right tentacles and wiped the blood from his mouth with his left hand.
“Why is it that things never get easier? Twi.”
As he spat out the blood in his mouth, a low prayer was heard in his ears.
“O warm… light… give me the strength… to destroy evil… to carry out your will…”
A wave of bright scarlet light drives away the darkness. The scarlet light rising from the staff in Cardisho’s left hand became a double-edged staff and shone brightly. The change did not end there. The scarlet light that spread endlessly nestled in his swollen fist and became a thick claw.
The Demonic Beast with claws of light glared at Marnak shedding tears of blood.
“I… will… be the last support… of those who have lost the will to rebel… at the lowest level…”
Marnak laughed bitterly. Before he knew it, his left arm was also split into five fleshy tentacles. A total of ten tentacles wriggled.
“Aren’t you really sane? cardi show? hmm?”
Through the eye sockets of the helmet, ancient words written in holograms were quickly written out.
– Check the user’s body transformation. Initiation of change according to transformation.
clap clap clap.
The black metal that had disappeared covered the ten tentacles. Black immortalium saw blades sprouting along the top of the tentacles, and awls extending straight from the tips of the tentacles.
The ten tentacles had become hideous weapons covered in metal. Marnak looked blankly at what used to be his arms.
Why hey hey hey hey!!!
The immortalium saw blades sprouted along the tentacle’s stem and began to spin uncontrollably. The harsh metal resonant screamed loudly.
“What is this… scary…”
Although the current situation is a bit annoying, I had no intention of chopping up Cardisho, who had lost his temper, with a pile of meat pieces.
“Gaaaaaa!!!”
A scarlet light swept away all the pillars of the mansion and attacked Marnak. Marnak threw himself and shouted.
“Just change it to something like armor. hurry!”
– approval.
With a clanking sound, the saw blades sprouted and covered the flesh as armor that covered the tentacles.
“Now I can write properly!”
Marnak whipped out ten strands of armor tentacles in the air like whips. Tentacles reached Cardisho’s arms.
Subdue Cardisho with the power amplified by Demonic Transformation. Before that, I needed to loosen up a bit.
“Geuuuuuu!!!”
A swollen hand grabbed the tentacle and pulled it. Marnak’s body, attached to the tip of the tentacle, floated up and flew towards Cardisho.
scarlet dot.
What Marnak saw was a bright spot. The point soon became a shock and struck Marnak’s helmet.
Aaaaaaa!!!
Marnak’s head bent backwards at the perfectly straight pole. The skin on his neck, which had been ripped from being stretched, cracked and blood gushed out like a fountain. The loose pieces of flesh that were barely connected by the neck bones quickly clumped together.
“ah. It just hurt really bad.”
Black eyes shimmered through the holes in the helmet. Cardisho’s instinct roared noisily. As her body guided her and her body remembered, she threw the bar once again.
chin.
“Finally got it.”
Armor-covered tentacles stopped Cardisho’s arm.
“Huh?!”
He hurriedly tried to remove the tentacles with his right hand, but his right arm was also covered with the tentacles that he had grasped earlier and did not move.
Marnak wrapped his legs around her waist. He clung to Cardisho’s body like that and smiled.
“It hurts a bit, but it’s rather easy since I lost my temper. It’s because when he’s sane, he’s so good at number fights that it’s much more annoying to deal with.”
“Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”
She started using dragons to escape her captivity. More veins sprouted over the white skin. Marnak realized that something new was going on in his body.
He slowly raised his head.
“I’ve said it before…”
The raised head was slammed downward. The Immortalium helmet was stuck on the white forehead. A merciless headbutt without even a handful of acknowledgment crushed Cardisho’s forehead.
Aaaaang!!!
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrled.”
Cardisho’s frothy body slowly fell backwards as her red eyes rolled over. Tentacles covered in black armor gently hugged her waist. Marnak chuckled.
“Transformation is to be done in advance and wait.”
He turned his left arm back into his hand and touched Cardisho’s forehead. Thanks to the magic beast’s regenerative power, her forehead, which had been hollowed out, was returning to a round and pretty shape.
After rubbing Khadisho’s forehead, Marnak picked her up and shook his head.
“If I had known it would be like this, it would have been better to bring only Tergio.”
The tentacles on his right arm slowly shrunk back to the shape of a hand. Marnak felt that something that had been altering his body had completely disappeared.
“Hmm.”
The effect of the medicine Arter gave was shorter than expected. I don’t know if it’s because of his outstanding body, or if Ather’s calculations are wrong. Still, the medicine itself was useful enough.
The advantage of being able to gain slightly stronger power than when using the Corruption Door, even for a moment, was great. Especially if there is no leak of any divinity in that amplification. The arms that turned into ten tentacles were a bonus.
Marnac vowed to get some more pills from Perley later.
Marnak felt a strange sense of incongruity when he was seriously contemplating where to put Khadisho, who had lost his mind, in pursuit of Abiditas.
The surroundings were quiet.
Just a moment ago, there was an endless vibration from a violent collision in the basement.
“Is there a settlement…?”
Squeak!
As he turned his head, a mouse the size of a human head caught Marnak’s gaze. Stroom, Tergio’s pet mouse, snorted and stared at Marnac. Naturally, Marnak did not know what the mouse wanted. He was a priest, not a druid.
Just like that, the eyes of the beast and the priest exchanged, and the mouse started to move.
Squeak!!!
Stroom, who crawled quickly, soon became stuck in one place and spun around. Marnak looked back and forth between the mouse and the floor, then tilted his head.
“You mean down here?”
Squeak!
Of course, the mouse didn’t answer. It just squeaks and keeps spinning around the floor. Marnak pushed Stroom away with his foot and thrust his right hand down.
clap.
Four protruding muzzles. The magic cannon spewed fire without hesitation. No sound could be heard through the black hole.
Squeak!
When the hole was pierced, Stroom climbed onto Marnak’s shoulder as if he had waited. Marnak threw himself through the hole he had drilled while holding Cardisho.
just before hitting the floor. Fire sprayed from the soles of Marnak’s armor softened the impact of the fall. Landing softly, Marnak slowly scanned the surroundings. and soon found
A charred knight.
Her body, which always shone with a noble silver light, was covered with soot and lost its luster.
“Tergio…?”
Immortalium, which boasts eternal immortality, was half melted and stuck in a strange form. The sword gripped in the blackened grip was piercing through the core presumably belonged to Aviditas.
A mortal blow. Tergio, who had endured even his own death, unleashed a sword…
“Why don’t you just run away…”
– Heir?
With a rustling sound, a metal knight the size of a palm jumped out with something in his hand. Marnac, who was about to burst into tears, looked at the little Terzio with startled eyes.
“Were you alive?”
Terzio bowed his head.
– Although he defeated the enemy… he lost most of his movable body, swept away by a fleeting emotion.
Marnac picked up Tergio with one hand.
“it’s okay. How is it that you won?”
Marnac, who had been placating Terzio, soon recognized what he was holding in his hand.
“You found the key fragment!”
– yes. After destroying Aviditas’ core, I searched around and found it.
“This is enough.”
Marnac lifted Terzio slightly and placed it on top of Stroom’s body, looking at Terzio’s charred body and the metal chunks on the floor.
“There are not just one or two things to take with you. Isn’t that all Immortalium?”
– You don’t have to take care of it. My old body and all of them are burned, so I’m no longer Immortalium.
“No more Immortalium? What the hell does that mean?”
The Immortalium he knew was a metal that was as it was forever. Never destroyed or changed. Terzio scratched Stroom’s head in response.
– Unfortunately, I don’t know because I haven’t entered the detailed principle. Perhaps, if you ask Dispens later, you will get the answer you want. Since your body is only minimally mobile, we may not be able to connect you right away, but it won’t take long to get the answer you want.
Marnac realized the meaning of Terzio’s words.
“no way…?”
– I’m really sorry, since my body is broken, Dispense, recognizing this, will lead all available troops and move the ruins toward my final coordinates, this city.
