The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 20
new powers.
new powers.
– It hurts!!!
The screams of the incarnation filled with divinity forced their way into somewhere deep inside and scratched at their emotions.
Blood flowed from the ear hole.
A shaky sense of balance. The thrilling fear that a living being should feel. A natural respect to be paid as an inferior creature.
I tripped. I coughed because of the disgusting dust and smoke I inhaled as I rolled on the floor.
“Cool.”
Clumps of filth-like emotions entwine with each other and ravenously devour me. It will happen again easily…
‘Kill!’
A voice heard in an instant. My mind, which had been locked in chaos, was quickly awakened.
I got up and ran again.
“Thank you, Mother. I could have been dead.”
– It hurts so much!!!
That creature called incarnation was a living disaster.
Just now, the divinity contained in the scream almost engulfed me. At first, it was definitely tolerable, but as I continued to be exposed while running away, his divinity was eating away at my mind before I knew it.
Indeed, if the Mother of Decay hadn’t woken him up, it was clear that he would have lost the will to get back up from the spot he had just fallen and been eaten.
A corpse that can absorb. I quickly reached out and shouted.
“Mother! I will dedicate it!”
As the corpse decayed, it spewed another divinity.
[Divinity: 9237]
– It hurts!!!
I quickly twisted my shoulder, and a bright red gore tentacle glided over my collar and pierced the ground.
“Haap!”
The frost-steel sword severed the tentacle, reflecting the light that shimmered around it.
– It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!!!
The amount of divinity contained in the scream increased even more. It was certain that my counterattack just now inflamed the incarnation even more. But it’s none of my business anyway.
I ran through Kelton’s creek, using the Gates of Corruption activated to the limit.
bang! bang! bang!
As the incarnation pursued me, the noise it made gradually drew closer. The monster continued to adapt to its body even in the midst of a bloody chase.
Faster, stronger, sharper.
It was being reborn as a true predator.
On the other hand, I am doing my best from the beginning. Naturally, the distance between me and that monster kept getting closer.
Gritting my teeth, I gazed at my destination.
Manor of Kelton. There’s a corpse right there, with a much higher chance of getting more divinity than scouring the town.
– It hurts!
He bowed his head. Two streams of bloody tentacles pierced the spot where my head had been. I strained my muscles to the limit and swung the frost steel sword. Two pieces of meat were scattered on the floor.
Losing my center of gravity due to the recoil from swinging my sword, I rolled on the floor and bounced up like a spring.
A bright red bloody monster glared at me with one eye protruding from the cracked forehead. With the intent to kill full of resentment, I squeezed it in.
– It hurts!
Did you catch up eventually? But I had one card saved for this moment.
“Mother! Help!”
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!
The decaying giant burst out tearing through the air and struck the incarnation with a huge fist.
– It hurts so much!!!
Bright-red tentacles pierced the giant’s hands and burst open, tearing open its mighty fists.
After all, is it not enough to be a giant of corruption? Without regret, I turned my back and ran out, shouting.
“Don’t overdo it! We’ll be right back!”
– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!
The giant of corruption roared once again and charged toward the incarnation.
I had to make the most of this golden moment afforded by the corrupting giant more than anyone else.
Breaking through the resistance of the rough air, I jumped into the burning manor house. dead body. I needed a body. At least the corpses of knights and well-trained elite soldiers.
However, too much time had already passed to absorb the corpses at the entrance of the mansion.
If I knew this was going to happen, I should have retrieved their divinity first. Has it been too much of a priority to stop the plans of the worshipers of evil spirits?
Belated regrets came flooding in, but there was no room for slow regret. I ran wildly through the roaring flames.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Corpses already too late to harvest.
‘killing!’
I turned my head at my mother’s cry and saw a corpse clad in armor sitting against the wall. once one.
“mother!”
The flesh inside the armor rotted and spit out divinity. one hundred divinities. It was worth two fingers.
[Divinity: 9337]
Starting from where this corpse was, corpses that could still be harvested appeared one after another. The dismembered, crushed, and torn corpses strongly asserted to me with their own bodies how fierce the resistance was at this place.
just revenge. a fair price. blood for blood.
All I can do for these unfortunate people is that.
[Divinity: 9357]
[Divinity: 9467]
[Divinity: 9488]
[Divinity: 9639]
[Divinity: 9897]
Just a little bit. little bit more.
Finally, all corpses that can be absorbed in this area have been absorbed.
[Divinity: 9991]
But it was not enough. It lacked very little. I ran through the mansion, searching and searching.
The giant’s roar from outside stopped. And something came towards this place. while letting out a terrifying scream.
– It hurts so much!!!
‘killing!!!’
Mother’s earnest request to just run away from here. I gripped the froststeel sword and gritted my teeth.
“Not yet. Not yet. Mother. I just remembered the place where the most recent dead body is.”
I ran again. A collapsing mansion. Tree poles fell with a clanking sound. acrid smoke. The flames had already consumed most of the mansion. The scorching heat burned my skin. My brain screamed in pain as my flesh burned.
And finally I found A man with only one finger. The decapitated corpse of Stren Flekor, lord of Kelton.
Quaang!
The incarnation broke through the wall and appeared. His body, which was nothing more than a simple mass of flesh, wriggled in a form resembling human muscles.
Have you grown again in the meantime?
The guy’s mouth parted and a thick murderous intent came out with divine intent.
– It hurts!
The lord’s body was behind him.
The burning divinity of decay seeped through my skin and squeezed my muscles.
only once. You only need to dodge it once.
The seat was filled. Seven tentacles approaching to tear me apart. I turned on the engine of the butcher I had been saving so as not to irritate him with pointless noise.
Why hey hey hey hey!
A metal saw blade that rotates violently and emits screams. Grasping the butcher’s handle, he lifted it up and cut it. One of the tentacles was severed, and the monster let out a wild scream.
once one.
Forced the Butcher’s trajectory. The arm muscles that were pushed to the limit ruptured. cut out Again, two tentacles flew through the air.
There are now four tentacles left.
I closed my eyes tightly. A maximum of three cuts with my ability. Then the rest of the body had no choice but to endure it.
hooked
one on the shoulder. As if mocking me, he plunged his tentacles back into the wound I had barely covered. As if the other three tentacles were waiting, they burrowed into my thighs, waist, and middle of my stomach. Except for the fatal parts that would kill you instantly.
‘killing!!!’
Mother screamed.
“Kuk.”
In the end, the unbearable pain became a moan that squeezed his throat and came out.
The monster was laughing. Yeah he was playing with me. Even if you can kill it right away, without killing it. Like a newborn child playing with bugs.
But thanks to that composure, I reached it.
“mother.”
The divinity that emanated from the decaying lord’s body seeped into my body.
[Divinity: 10001]
“I offer you my divinity. Your son earnestly wishes. Give me new powers.”
There was no answer.
[Divinity: 1]
Divinity disappeared. And a new power seeped into my body.
The monster grinned at me, showing white teeth.
– it hurts?
I smiled and quickly reached out and grabbed the unsuspecting monster’s face and whispered.
“Let’s get off. Together.”
The new power ‘Pit of Corruption’ came out with its black mouth open and swallowed him.
we fell like that
****
Boom.
The impact of the fall without cushion hit my spine. I got up quickly and stepped back. Blood continued to flow from the wounds left by its tentacles. He glared at the monster, piercing his wounds with the frost-steel sword heated in the flames.
He was smiling in the dark pit.
As if this is the best.
– it hurts?
I laughed.
“It hurts. It really hurts. It’s painful and painful. It hurts to endure the pain of burning your skin in the fire that hides after the divinity, and it’s painful to run through the fire and collect the corpses. It makes you want to quit and run away right away. Yo. But do you know what?”
Why hey hey hey hey!
The butcher let out a rough start-up sound. I moved my motionless hand and raised the butcher up.
The monster laughed at me and tilted its head. Seeing that damn childish attitude, I just smiled generously.
“You’re going to be in more pain and suffering than I am now. Listen carefully. You bastard.”
Quaang!
The Gates of Corruption flowed over my body, forcing my otherwise immovable body to move. My whole body still creaked, and my arms and legs wouldn’t listen to me.
Significantly slower than before. I ran towards him nonetheless.
– It hurts!!!
Nine tentacles protruding. The boy was growing even in the midst of this.
I gritted my teeth and swung the butcher. The wildly spinning cogwheels ground all nine tentacles.
The one eye of the incarnation was stained with astonishment. I raised the butcher as it was and slashed it. One of Hwasin’s arms flew through the air. Without stopping, I hammered the butcher into her side.
Why hey hey hey hey!
The blood and flesh of the dispersing incarnation poured into my face.
– It hurts!!!!!
I pushed the butcher with all my might into the resisting monster’s torso. More blood and flesh splattered.
“Are you embarrassed? I’m sure you’re embarrassed! Hahahaha! Are you wondering why I’m able to slash all of your attacks even though I’m slower than before? I’ll teach you something special this time!”
I smiled wider.
“How does it feel to rot alive? I’m quite used to it. You probably won’t!”
A new power, ‘The Pit of Corruption.’
All life that enters this huge pit decays while still alive. Even I was no exception to the subjects affected by this authority. However, I was able to prioritize and corrupt parts that were not needed for combat using the Corruption Gate.
That’s how I closed the gap between me and this monster.
The monster constantly struggled and tried to push me away. However, the power of the guy who was rotting on the outside and inside at the same time was not enough to push me away.
– It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! stop!!!!!
A new word sprang from the monster’s mouth. I laughed out loud.
“Thanks to me, you’re learning two words on your own today! It might be better for you to stop working as a priest and start tutoring monsters! Hahahaha!”
I plucked the butcher from his body and held it up.
Why hey hey hey hey!
The monster’s eyes, rotting alive, were stained with fear.
– stop! stop! stop! Stop it, hey hey hey hey!!!
I smiled softly.
“I don’t like it.”
Kaga gaga gag!
The butcher’s blades that struck it ravenously grazed the monster’s throat. The neck of the monster born after swallowing Kelton rolled on the floor.
I stretched out my rotting hand and took the bead-shaped relic from the split incarnation’s chest, laughing.
“Mother. I did it.”
‘killing!’
A strange feeling of joy and resentment flooded into me.
The dark green decaying divinity that flowed from the relic seeped into my body and into my mother’s hands.
The light of divinity permeated by her mother’s hand shone and vibrated so brightly. I hurriedly reached out from my bosom to check my mother’s condition.
The hand of the mother of corruption, taken out of her bosom, shone brightly in dark green and took my eyesight away for an instant.
The weight I felt in my hand was gone.
“mother?!”
As I calmed my trembling heart as much as possible and hurriedly looked around, a girl caught my eye.
Her waist-length hair was beautifully undulating in a mix of black and dark green. The dense eyes, nose, and lips contained the very essence of abstract beauty that even the world’s most outstanding artisans would be frustrated.
The girl moved her body here and there, opened her green and black eyes wide, and said something to me. But no voice came out of the girl’s throat.
As soon as the girl with the fair forehead slightly frowned, strode towards me and grabbed my hand, a thought came to me.
‘killing?!’
I calmed my quivering heart at the familiar voice.
“As expected, you are a mother. But why is your body so young? Shouldn’t you know that, not me? Mother.”
My mother, who had pursed her lips and murmured in my mind about my current state of health, looked up at me and tilted her head.
‘killing?’
“Are you unable to return by hand now?”
‘killing!’
At the same time as she called out to wait a moment, the girl returned to her familiar hand in an instant. I took my mother’s hand, put it into my arms, and smiled.
“Mother, it’s good to go around by yourself, but how about you stay in my arms like this?”
‘killing!’
I was relieved by my mother’s words that she couldn’t maintain her appearance for a long time anyway. Taking my mother out of my arms was so unsettling that I still needed to prepare my mind a lot.
“I see. I understand.”
I closed my eyes and settled inside.
[Divinity: 10001]
The divinity absorbed from the holy relic was properly established. So, it was time to awaken another new power.
