The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 247

transformation

transformation.

What welcomed Havas, who turned his head at the beast’s growl, was a red mass covering his vision. The beast’s red teeth dug into Havas’ shoulder. Havas’s body was dragged like a broken doll due to the power that was not relieved even after biting his shoulder.

“Kuk!”

He did not stop fighting back even as he was dragged with his shoulder bitten. At Havas’s will, the thick plant stems that stretched out from behind his back pounded the unknown beast’s body ceaselessly.

The sound of flesh being crushed. Large chunks of flesh fell off along with the blood pouring whenever the plant stems struck the beast that resembled a bloody mass like a whip.

However, the red beast paid no attention to the pain and focused only on the prey it had bitten off. I don’t know why, but the very existence itself is violently disturbing prey.

bang! bang! bang!

The broken walls crumbled against Havas’ body, covering him in thick dust. The beast did not stop its endless run even while shaking its jaws as it bit Havas.

The eternal run that seemed to never end came to an end as Havas’ arm, which could not stand it, was ripped off in the gap of the wound that opened little by little.

Havas’s body, with one arm completely torn off, rolled on the ground, and the red beast stopped to pick up its dropped prey again.

“Cool.”

Raising himself from the floor, Havas vomited a handful of bright red blood. A white bone sprouted again over the section of the shoulder that had been ripped off. Then red muscles covered his white bones. Havas was finally able to see the complete form of the beast that attacked him thanks to the moment he barely had.

Two huge pairs of thick, red legs standing on the ground. At first glance, it looked like a red-haired wolf. Except for the fact that its size is incomparably larger than that of an ordinary wolf and it has no fur.

The skin of the red beast was not smooth at all. If you look closely at his hairless, lumpy skin, you can see that something resembling red tentacles has been clustered here and there, like muscles that have been torn off and revealed.

Yes, the most accurate description would be that the mass of red tentacles imitated a wolf.

Havas clicked his tongue briefly when he saw a beast he had never seen before in his long life.

“You are really late.”

“Grrrrrr…”

As if in response to his words, thick saliva dripped from the mouth of the red beast and fell to the floor.

Along with that growl, the red beast’s torso lowered slightly. Seeing the beast’s tentacles pulled tight, Havas intuited what was about to happen.

bang!

A resounding roar. The red body eventually became a single line and attacked Havas. Havas’ light green eyes twinkled.

It was a fluke that allowed the first attack because it was a completely unexpected surprise. Unless he took his own life in that surprise attack, there was no new opportunity for that ignorant beast.

A pair of trunks protruding from his back were deeply embedded in the floor and became a firm support for his body.

“come!”

gaping mouth. The jaws of the red beast, even its teeth, came crashing into Havas. Havas grabbed the monster’s lower jaw with his freshly regenerated arm and the upper jaw with the other. The beast’s teeth, like thick awls, pierced Havas’ palm and threaded it like a skewer.

“Haap!”

The shock of the mass that followed. After stepping on the floor, Havas’ feet sank even deeper. His upper body muscles, which swelled up in an instant, squirmed and offset the impact.

Eventually, the body of the beast, which seemed to never stop, stopped. A thick scent of blood wafted from the beast’s open throat.

Havas laughed.

“In the end, a beast is a beast…”

The resounding roar of a mighty beast. Havas floated up without finishing his words.

short float. Havas realized that the creature had shaken off its jaws and hurled itself upward. This was more powerful than he expected.

But being thrown into the sky with no walls to bump into was rather good. His body, which had risen to the fullest, stopped in the air and began to fall.

Two pairs of thick stems radiated from behind his back and climbed up Havas’ left arm, taking the shape of sharp awls.

“I wonder how long it will last.”

With a short movement of Havas’ right hand, hundreds of stems protruding from the floor at the same time entangled the beast’s feet and grew up.

“die!”

An awl-shaped stem extending from the tip of the left arm that rose out of the air grew explosively and plunged straight into the beast.

Kwaaaaang!!!

A thick cloud of dust rose with a roar. As Havas landed softly on the ground, the dust slowly settled, revealing the scene he had created.

The spear-like stem he fired accurately pierced the back of the red beast and stuck deep into the floor. Because the trunk that pierced the beast’s body was huge, the beast was now almost cut in half.

The intermittent shaking of the body informed that the beast had not yet stopped breathing. In his heart, Havas paid a brief tribute to that terrible persistence.

“It was a little intimidating.”

He moved slowly, approaching the creature he had never seen before.

If my guess is correct, that monster must have been transformed by the cardisho woman. It was quite rare for a human to turn into such a monster, but it wasn’t impossible at all.

However, it was the first time he had ever seen a self-proclaimed priest of a good god turn into that kind of monster.

“I normally maintain my intelligence in human form, but when I feel a crisis in my life, the form of a beast pops out. I don’t know who made it, but it’s pretty good. I coveted it…”

If the source of this technology was discovered and applied to the libertio priests, the organization’s power itself would be able to take a step forward.

Havas moved a little closer to the monster.

“Anyway, I’ll have to save this and take it…”

Puff.

Thin tentacles resembling the stalks of Havas protruded from the body of the beast that was holding its breath, piercing his body.

From the white forehead to the joints of the head and body. The red tentacles penetrated Havas’ body.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

. Havas muttered incomprehensible words and grabbed the tentacle that had pierced his throat.

As he pulled out the tentacles that pierced his neck, the stalks holding the beast’s legs as if waiting, tore the tattered beast in half.

Red tentacles that had lost their power fell from Havas’ body. The holes that had been punctured quickly healed, and Havas frowned.

“It’s overly tough and the outbursts are too severe.”

wriggling

Something moved in the upper half of the monster that had been cut in half.

“hmm…?”

Havas turned his head at the unfamiliar movement, and the monster’s upper body exploded.

Among the flesh chunks pouring down like rain from the sky, ‘Kardisho’ finally opened his eyes.

***

In the feeling of floating somewhere endlessly, Cardisho stared blankly at the empty space filled with darkness.

‘Take this and eat it! eat!’

‘…why do you keep taking care of things like this only for me?’

‘That’s because the tedious adjustment is over!’

‘adjustment…?’

‘lets think! A beast that is very strong, but moves according to its instincts. Compared to that, Cardisho has a reason, though his strength may be slightly less than that! Who is the stronger of the two! huh? huh?’

‘No, personally, I wonder why they suddenly compare me to a beast…?’

‘anyway! anyway! Who do you think is stronger?’

‘I think I’d be stronger if I had a weapon…’

‘That’s right! that’s right!’

‘…so what the hell does this candy have to do with rowing?’

‘They must have one thing in common: they must be very sweet! Hey!’

‘…?’

his distinctive voice. Pearly, who was in a noisy atmosphere, was very bustling even if he didn’t say a few words because of the atmosphere itself, but he didn’t stop there, and he was really talkative, so he was always very savage when dealing with her, so he would be swung around by her.

the night before the operation. Pearly came to visit him in the middle of the night and left a message of unknown meaning.

‘If the! If the! I mean! If you come to your senses tomorrow and find yourself in a very unfamiliar and embarrassing moment, just keep one thing in mind!’

She said briefly, her purple eyes shining brightly.

‘Don’t panic at that situation, gather your whole mind and focus only on who you have to kill right now! okay?’

***

It was a request that was completely incomprehensible until this morning, but now Cardisho understood what Pearly was trying to convey to her.

“What the hell have you done to my body…?”

The white skin was nowhere to be found, and her body was now in the shape of a person with dark red tentacles entwined tightly. Despite the fact that even the hair he reached out to touch had been replaced with tentacles, Cardisho realized that he did not feel out of place at all.

“Huh… could I have regained my sanity?”

voice of admiration. That voice reminded Cardisho of Pearly’s words.

‘Don’t panic, concentrate your mind on who you have to kill right now!’

Cardisho laughed bitterly at the voice that seemed to be chattering right next to his ear.

“After today’s work is over, I’ll have to ask myself what’s going on.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t need to know.”

Cardisho took a deep breath, holding onto the short stick of flesh growing from his fingertips.

‘please.’

Shaking off a brief trembling, she muttered lowly.

“O ‘light without warmth’. Please give me the strength to protect the weak.”

An intense wave of divinity spreading out. A scarlet beam of light radiated from both ends of the single rod of flesh. Cardisho was ecstatic when he realized that God had not yet abandoned him even though he had become like this.

No, the light didn’t stop there.

The vermilion light that extended slowly but not too slowly gradually turned red.

bright red light. As a priest of the Gwanghuigyo, the strongest light that could be reached rose from the tip of her staff. A clear and warm light that is not broken by anything.

Cardisho lowered his stance in rapture.

“Your evil deeds end here. Havas.”

Havas laughed.

“I’m sure I’ll have to take him alive. I became more curious about the identity of your body…”

Before he could finish his words, his chin was physically ripped off. Cardisho, who took a surprise attack as Pridja usually did, did not stop there, but rotated the rod as it was, completely crushing Havas’ skull.

My body felt lighter than ever. In this state, even that Prydia…

‘Honestly, that’s still too much.’

After calming down his overly excited mind for a moment, Cardisho grabbed the stem that extended from Havas’ back and kicked Havas in the chest.

His chest hollowed out, and the stems growing from his back were ripped out.

Havas, who had lost his head, moved his headless body and swung his fist at her as if the head was a decoration.

Pak!!!

The red light crushed Havas’ shoulders. Cardisho drew red eyes from his eye sockets and moved the tentacles forming the corners of his mouth to draw a smile.

“Being in this body, I finally know the source of your immortality.”

She kicked Havas right in the chest. Before the bouncing Havas body hit the floor, she slammed one of her arms into the floor.

A reddish-black tentacle extended from her arm and dug into the floor, grabbing a tiny seed hidden under the skin of the ground.

This seed is the core organ that makes up the body of Havas.

Whenever his body was hit, he hid this seed around to minimize the blow to his real body.

The moment the red light had just touched Havas’ chin, Cardisho finally noticed this small, secret movement with a heightened sense.

Kwap.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she moved her tentacles to crush the seed she had caught.

At the same time, Havas’ body, which had been moving violently, collapsed like a broken doll.

“Whoa.”

Cardisho let out a short sigh, got up and looked in the direction of Marnak.

“It’s perfect to be misunderstood in this state, so I guess I’ll have to look for Pearly first.”

Without regret, she left Havas’ corpse behind.

***

“Hmm.”

The eyelids of Havas, who was zazen in the common room, slowly opened.

Havas was genuinely amazed that one of the twelve clones he had unleashed was broken for the first time.

For a while, he slowly closed his eyes again and gathered his mind to maintain the remaining 11 alter egos.

Because I still needed a little more sacrifice to defeat that Prydia.

***

“Priest Marnak! Is there anything behind the door?”

Embarrassed Jamel’s voice.

huge door. But even after opening the door, only black walls were waiting for us. Pearly closed the huge door again and told me.

“Come on, put the three key fragments you have collected so far into one! Then the mystery of this door will be solved! Hurry up! Hurry up!”
