The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 32
new weapon?
new weapon?
As the trumpet for the dead sounded, the gait of those who were resurrected gradually became faster.
increasingly. tough and strong.
– Gee ah ah ah ah ah!!!
All the mouths on the ragged giant’s body let out a wild roar. Starting with the roar, the corpses that made up the body of the giant wriggled and clung to the body and began to resist the climbing dead.
Quaang!
The ragged giant’s fist swept away a group of dead. New dead continued to pour into the vacancy created by the giant. The void disappeared in an instant.
A group of dead people with no end in sight.
Even the broken and crushed corpses began to crawl towards the ragged giant again, wriggling intact parts.
The dead were silent, and only the ragged giant roared and ran wild in that silence.
– Gee ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!
We stood and watched from a distance. Dakia glanced at us and spoke carefully.
“It looks like a final blow is needed, so shall I apply with magic?”
Carmen glanced at me and Sagittarius once and replied with an awkward smile.
“Anyway, that’s a bit…”
Sagittarius nodded silently, and I helped Carmen before the princess flinched.
“You have to be patient. Princess. As I’ve said before, an ally’s out-of-control magic is more dangerous than an enemy’s sharpest spear.”
Oh, how terrifying it is.
The qualities required above all for magicians who handle powerful mana that distorts natural phenomena were not the output of magical power or the ability to apply abilities.
Accuracy right away.
A good wizard had to be able to precisely control his powers down to the smallest detail. No matter how powerful magic was, the moment it swept allies away, its usefulness converged to 0.
In that respect, Dacia’s magic had a very large margin of error, causing an explosion when she tried to light a fire, which meant that if she tried to do something, there was a high possibility that the dead who ran into the ragged giant would be swept away instead of that ragged giant.
In other words, the saying that if you stay still, half will go is a situation that is more appropriate.
Dacia blushed slightly.
“That, wouldn’t that be enough? The target is that big. That’s enough…”
“At that level, you’ll have to use a large amount of magic power to inflict meaningful damage, and then the margin of error will be even larger. If you want to blow up that giant with the city, I’d like to ask you to be patient as there are still people alive.”
She glared at me with a new look in her eyes.
“Okay. Got it. I won’t use magic. But aren’t you being too direct?”
“Because we have to make sure we do the part related to combat. There’s no point in warning someone after they’ve been hurt. A warning is only meaningful if it’s done before it happens.”
“It looks like a knife.”
“It should be like a knife.”
– Gee ah ah ah ah ah!!!
The Ragged Giant trampled and rolled across the ground trying to drop the dead, but the waves of the dead continued to gnaw away at the Ragged Giant’s body.
However, as Dacia said, the trumpeter of rest did not seem to have a decisive means of attack to send the ragged giant away.
It was clear that the trumpeter of rest would emerge victorious in the end, but it would take a while to get there.
should i help?
If I brought out the giant of corruption and responded together, the time to defeat that ragged giant would drastically decrease, but unless I was crazy, there was absolutely no way I would bring out the mother’s power in front of a sane priest.
Thanks to that, you can’t use the Gate of Corruption, so you can’t use the amplification of your physical abilities.
So, is it best to just take a look?
Then the trumpeter of rest put the trumpet in his bosom and slowly walked towards us.
Why are you coming?
Dacia asked cautiously.
“Does it look like it’s coming to us?”
“It seems so…”
The trumpeter of rest, walking fast and approaching us, spoke at once. A muffled voice rang out.
“Which of the four is confident in their movements?”
movement? What are you talking about all of a sudden?
The group’s eyes turned to me. In that gaze, the priest meant that it would be better for the priest to mix his words. Coincidentally, the white mask of the trumpeter of rest was also facing me, and
I answered with a smile.
“For what?”
A hand covered in black gloves protruded from between the long black clothes. When his fingers lightly embroidered the air, the air distorted and a spear made of bone protruded. He said to me as he pushed out the window.
“I want someone with excellent movement to pierce the heart of that giant with this spear. This spear will directly tell you where the heart is.”
window? If it’s a spear, it’s a sagittarius.
‘killing!’
When I took the spear at random, my mother quickly shouted to me to ask for one even with a sword.
“Do you have any sword shape?”
A pure white mask with no eye sockets stared at me silently. Once again, black gloves cut through the air. The air contorted and a sword made of pure white bone fell into my hand.
Oh, you don’t just make one, you make several?
After this work, he opened his mouth cautiously, promising to find a room and give his mother a gentle massage.
“I… if you can make more, could you make me two swords and an arrow?”
The trumpeter of rest was silent. Only then did he open his mouth again when he heard the ragged giant’s roar again.
“Tell me at once.”
Fortunately, he was a man with a big barrel. I took two more swords and a barrel of bone arrows from him and gave them to the party.
Sagittarius grabbed the bone spear and swung it around, then smiled contentedly.
“It’s pretty good.”
Dacia also burst into admiration as she cut through the air several times while holding her own sword.
“It’s very light.”
While Carmen looked at the bone arrows and sword, I also looked at the bone sword that I had taken for myself.
A blade so sharp that you wouldn’t think it was bone, and a lightness unique to bone. I was a little worried about the strength, but since it was a weapon created by the Trumpeter of Rest with his own power, it must be strong enough.
The bone sword was subtly imbued with the divinity of the trumpeter of rest, and it seemed that it would have a fatal effect on the ragged giant-like dead.
It’s a pretty good weapon.
“If you will help, I will give you the weapons.”
We quickly exchanged glances, then nodded. Weapons of this kind were never readily available. In particular, the weapon given by the ‘trumpeter of rest’.
I nodded at him.
“I’ll help you. By the way…”
Quaang!
The ragged giant was still rampaging wildly, as if he wasn’t tired. Climb up that body and drive this weapon into the heart of a giant?
It was a story that could only be possible for a hero in a myth or a protagonist in a game.
The trumpeter of rest spit out an uncharacteristically long sentence, as if he understood the meaning of my gaze.
“I will stop the giant’s movements for a while. You guys should aim for that gap and drive the weapons deep into the giant’s heart. The length of the arrow is too short, so it’s impossible.”
Before Carmen could say anything, the trumpeter of rest spoke first, as if she didn’t want to say it twice. Carmen sulked and stepped back.
“Would you like to?”
In the end, it seems that it will be me and Sajita who directly drive in, but when I looked at Sajita, he nodded heavily.
good. Then you should try it.
“I’ll do it.”
After hearing my answer, the trumpeter of rest took out a white trumpet from his chest and blew it at the ragged giant. At the same time as that silent performance, the situation changed rapidly.
The bodies of the dead surrounding the ragged giant melted and mixed together. The hardened blood and flesh of the dead were crushed, mixed, and mixed again to form an ominous liquid that wrapped around the ragged giant’s body.
The ominous liquid climbed up the giant’s body and hardened itself in an instant. Suddenly, the giant whose lower body and arms were sealed screamed.
– Gee ah ah ah ah ah!!!
Melting and hardening the body?
Isn’t this worse than devouring a corpse and making a giant?
The four of us, who had the same idea at the same time, gazed intently at the trumpeter of rest.
“I only deal with the shell that gave me rest. Run.”
At that, we kicked off our seats and started running. The ragged giant’s struggle was gradually getting worse to say anything more. It was clear that if I left it like this, it would come out soon.
We jumped up the slope made by the hardened dead and ran towards the upper body of the giant. The giant who spotted us let out a menacing roar.
– Gee ah ah ah ah ah!!!
Dacia laughed leisurely and shouted.
“You can’t move anything and just make a loud noise!”
Kuduk.
Before Dacia’s cry was over, the giant’s right hand broke the body of the dead and popped out. As I stared at her, Dakia quickly covered her mouth and bowed her head.
“Marnac! I’ll take that hand!”
Carmen shouted vigorously and let go of the bowstring. An arrow that cut through the air like a beam of light was lodged in the ragged giant’s head. As the bone arrow pierced his body, the arid giant reacted violently.
– Chi ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!
From the mouths of all the corpses, sharp screams different from before came out. Dacia took advantage of the gap and quickly kicked the spot. The sword she wielded left a deep scar on the left arm of the Ragged Giant, who was still encased in the solid.
The ragged giant let out another shrieking scream.
“I’ll keep the giant in check from below with Carmen!”
Sajita and I nodded lightly and ran towards the giant’s back.
bang!
The ragged giant’s thick right hand swept around. However, since the lower body was fixed, the area that the right hand could reach was obvious, and there was no one in my party who could be hit by such an obvious attack.
As Sajita and I stepped on the giant’s back and approached the place where the giant’s heart was, my mother whispered to me quickly.
‘killing!’
the giant’s head. Information that there is something in the middle of the giant head with ‘divine’ united. My mother told me to secretly take the sacred mass. I thought it would be useful.
If so, you should take care of it.
“Sagittarius!”
“yes!”
“Do you think you can pierce the heart alone? I will disturb your head!”
Sajita confirmed the position of the heart indicated by the weapon and nodded.
“Enough.”
The corpses that made up the giant’s back each reached out their hands and tried to grab us, but we trampled on them and climbed on the giant’s back.
Added strength to the legs. Masses of corpses being trampled on by running with all their might were crushed. I left Sagittarius behind and continued to climb up the giant’s body, finally arriving at the head.
The face of the ragged giant, created by mixing all kinds of heads, somehow resembled Riverkell.
It was just right.
This time I’ll be able to smash the head myself with these two hands.
– Chi ah ah ah ah ah!!!
The giant face, having located me, roared at me with its huge mouth open. The giant’s right hand came forward without hesitation to drop me from the top of my shoulder.
bang!
I spurred on and escaped the giant’s hand. I gripped the bone sword in reverse. It’s not stabbing, it’s driving it apart.
Riverkell’s face approaching at high speed.
In fact, I was thinking of helping even if the trumpeter of rest didn’t ask for help.
This monster, the enemy of my benefactor Santos, and this goddamn sorcerer, I was going to kill myself.
hooked
A bony sword pierced the top of his head.
– Chi ah ah ah ah evil!!!
I let go of old grudges as I heard him scream. in a form that has long been dreamed of.
“Revenge the body wiper you once killed! You scum!”
He lowered his sword without hesitation. In the midst of unidentifiable chunks of meat pouring down, a red bead that felt intense divinity tumbled down.
‘killing!’
Mother’s cry for that.
I quickly reached out and put the marble into my bosom. At the same time, the tattered giant’s body began to slowly disintegrate.
Sajita seems to have succeeded in driving a spear through the giant’s heart.
Quaang!
When I landed on the floor, Dakia and Carmen quickly ran towards me.
“You’re not hurt anywhere?”
He nodded his head and answered Dakia’s question.
“Where is Sagittarius?”
“Here I am.”
He smiled as he slightly lifted the spear of bone with the corpse flesh buried all over his body.
“This sounds pretty good.”
At that time, the trumpeter of rest slowly walked through the dead. looking straight at me
The white mask said to me.
“Follow me. Only you.”
