The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 69

re-appearance!!!!

re-appearance!!!!

It would be stupid to throw a tantrum at a hologram because it’s poisoning it. I asked the Ceylon hologram.

“Please explain soon.”

– good! Just follow me! It’s a little bit of a place here to use the function of that right arm!

I followed the hologram of Ceylon and checked the condition of Dakia and her mother. The two of them were having a hard conversation with the Ceylon hologram assigned to them. No, to be precise, only Dakia was talking, and her mother, who couldn’t speak, was eagerly touching the screen in front of her eyes.

The place where the Ceylon hologram that was leading me stopped was a space resembling a modern shooting range. As Ceylon beckoned, a target popped out in the middle of the shooting range. However, unlike normal shooting ranges, the target popped out very close to where I was standing.

It was close enough that you could touch it if you bent down a little and stretched out your hand. No matter what I shoot, I heard Ceylon’s voice in my ear while I was looking at a target that was harder to hit.

– Come on now, hold the fist on the hand you wore ‘No. 1’ and stick it forward!

I clenched the fist on my right arm covered in armor and held it forward as she commanded. The hologram that suddenly poked its face right next to me smiled.

– From now on, it’s the realm of your imagination, right? I hope you have enough imagination! Because this work #1 responds to your brainwaves… No! My words may be too difficult! Just think this armor reads your mind!

Are you reacting the way I think? Whether I am surprised or not, the hologram Ceylon said with a smile.

– What you’re thinking of right now is very simple! Imagine a gun sticking out of the back of your hand! Of course, it may be difficult to imagine, but try several times…

I remembered the steel man’s repulsor gun I saw in the old movie. At the same time as I had a brief imagination, four muzzles gently protruded from the back of my right hand.

– You did it! was it hard? This must have been hard to imagine, but congratulations on doing it! If you made a gun, should you shoot it now? Shooting is simple! If you just think ‘shoot’…

Kwaaang!!!

A resounding roar. The white explosions that came out of the four gun barrels tore the target in front of me to shreds.

I unknowingly exclaimed exclamation at that hot power.

“Come.”

– good job! how is it? My special ‘magic cannon’! First of all, as there is no physical bullet, the long-range attack ability is a little low, but it boasts quite powerful power at close range! The energy used in the magic cannon is automatically charged by absorbing the mana in the air. Up to 3 shots can be charged, and one shot takes about 20 minutes to charge! So you should use each step carefully, right?

I smiled while fiddling with the muzzle that grew on the back of my right hand.

It was really satisfying. The design was also very nice. In addition, the way this object worked was very similar to my ‘inventory’, so it was easy to control.

– Oh, but do you have any of my other numbering works? If you have it, bring it to the first piece! A lot of fun will happen!

Falling in love with the charm of No. 1, I suddenly became a good kid who listened well and took out a butcher with my armored right hand.

clap.

The black armor on his right arm split arbitrarily, and the protruding black metal swallowed the butcher in an instant. A phenomenon that is physically incomprehensible. I looked at the hologram of Ceylon with a bewildered face.

– Oh, I must have had something else! great! Do not panic! Because it’s not gone! Would you like to take a look at your right hand?

As she said, looking at the back of her right hand, a hologram screen with an ancient word for ‘6’ appeared on it. Beneath the number were two pictures, presumably representing the two new additions.

The two pictures were very simple, but the first picture looked exactly like the original sword-shaped butcher, and the second picture had a sawtooth blade protruding from the back of the hand, integrated with the armor, just like the ‘magic cannon’.

As I recalled the image in the second picture, metal protruding from the back of my right hand took the form of a chainsaw blade with a clanking sound. Like a psionic sword used by an alien race somewhere.

Why hey hey hey hey!!!

I grinned as I watched the cog blade start spinning just by thinking about it.

It was so cool.

When I imagined the shape of number 1 again, the sawtooth blades disappeared and the cracked metal came together in the original butcher form and protruded. While I was exclaiming while holding the butcher, Ceylon suddenly spoke to me.

– Are you surprised?

“Yes. It’s amazing.”

Ceylon’s hologram grinned.

– Work No. 1 is the crystallization of the ‘fusion of divinity and magical power’ that I ultimately pursued! To be precise, it’s a fusion of human technology, divinity, and magical power!

A fusion of divinity and magical power? It was an unbelievable story. A list of words that I would have laughed at as bullshit if I hadn’t seen this work myself.

In the first place, divinity and magical power could not be mixed. These two were like water and oil, no matter how hard they tried to mix, they were forces that ended up going their separate ways.

What Ceylon was saying now was no different than saying that he had invented the first surfactant that mixes divine and magical powers.

“It’s great. Really.”

– that’s right! I’m great! Speaking of my greatness, it’s not enough even if you talk about it for days and days, so I’ll specifically omit it! Oh thank you I can’t do it!

The hologram pretended to tap me on the shoulder playfully, then took a step back.

– Number 1 was created from the beginning as a role in weaving works of different numbers, so it would be fun to collect all the people who discover other works! Besides, it’s a whole immortalium, so it won’t break easily, but even if it breaks a little, it can be repaired automatically, so don’t worry too much if it breaks a little!

Is it possible to recover? As soon as I heard that, I thought of a power.

‘Sword of Corruption’.

As I closed my eyes for a moment and prayed for the authority, the space distorted and the sword of corruption came out. I grabbed the sword of corruption with my armored right hand.

At the same time, a hologram popped out from the back of the hand with a warning. The meaning of the listed ancient words was simple.

– Another 70 seconds to reach an unrecoverable state.

69. 68. The number representing the remaining time has decreased. I removed the sword of corruption without regret.

70 seconds. If you were wearing this armor, you could use the Sword of Corruption for at least a minute.

Considering that it took only a few seconds to defeat the huge golden giant earlier, 70 seconds was a very meaningful time.

it was good. It was very good.

As I was satisfied and laughing to myself, the hologram that had been standing still spoke to me.

– It seems that the other side has also finished paying the rewards, so wouldn’t it be better to go that way? Oh, if you want to shoot the ‘magic cannon’ one more time, tell me! I’ll prepare the target again!

I shook my head.

“Enough.”

After absorbing the butcher, who no longer needed to carry around, into the armor on his right arm, he returned it to the form of a bracelet. Even after absorbing the Butcher, the bracelet was still as light as a feather.

Once again admiring Ceylon’s technological prowess, which overwhelmingly surpassed that of modern times, he followed her hologram to the place where Dakia and her mother were waiting.

Dakia, who had arrived first, saw me and waved her hand happily. She strode towards me and brought up a question.

“What did Priest Marnak receive?”

I showed my bracelet and said.

“It’s a bracelet that turns into armor. It has various additional functions. I really like it. What did the princess get?”

Dacia asked with her arms spread wide.

“What! Guess what!”

I immediately realized what she had been given. A choker made of silver metal was nestled around Dakia’s pure white neck.

“You received the necklace.”

Dakia smiled and nodded her head as if she was very happy that I matched her at once.

“Right! Take a good look!”

As soon as she finished her words to look closely, the silver choker expanded to its full size and became a silver mask covering Dakia’s lower tier.

It was true that the real Ceylon likes ‘transformation’ or ‘combination’. A choker that transforms into a mask.

Dakia began to explain in a chattering way, her golden eyes twinkling.

“There is an ancient relic ring I received from Aurelius before. It removes the penalty that reduces the amount of magical power that can be handled there, and only enhances the function of increasing the precision of magical manipulation! Thanks to that, I think it will be okay not to wear that ring anymore!”

“Nice. Do you like it?”

“Yes! I really like it!”

“But what is your mother doing there?”

Mother glanced at me with her hands behind her back even while Dacia was working hard. What the hell did you get for doing that?

I tilted my head and asked.

“What did your mother get?”

My mother looked at me for a long time and then slowly walked towards me. My mother, who had approached me, spoke in a small voice.

‘killing.’

One word to put your left hand out. He held out his left hand at his mother’s request. Instantly, the sensation of cold metal felt on the ring finger of the left hand. My mother, who put a black metal ring on my left ring finger, smiled broadly and held out her left hand.

‘killing!’

The thing mother received was a pair of black rings. I didn’t say anything, but I wonder if Master Pridiya kept in mind the fact that she left after putting a ring on my left index finger.

‘Kill and kill.’

My mother, who had clung to me, explained the function of the ring in a calm tone.

The function of the ring was very simple. A shield that can be used once a day and the ability to track the position of the ring on the other side.

I don’t know if you were aiming for it, but the function of this ring was exactly the higher compatibility of the ring relic function that Master Friedya had put on me.

My mother looked up at me and asked cautiously.

‘killing?’

question how are you? All I was pounding on the hologram screen was making a ring for me. I was moved by that cute idea and hugged my mother.

“I love you so much, mother.”

‘killing!’

The answer was that I knew that too. I said vigorously, hugging my mother and rubbing her cheek.

“As a token of my appreciation, I will give you a palm massage before going to bed for the next week! Until my mother is satisfied!”

‘killing…!’

Dakia smiled as she watched me pick up her mother, who was immersed in the afterglow of deep emotion, and put her on a plane.

“As expected, they’re on good terms. It’s nice to see them.”

I hugged my mother, who was clinging to me, and smiled at Dakia.

“Now that you’ve received all the rewards, you can get a good night’s sleep on the soft bed Ceylon prepared and get out of the ruins.”

Dacia covered her mouth and gave a small yawn before laughing.

“I really feel like I can sleep right now if I put my back on anywhere.”

It was the same for me, who lost most of my body once today. I nodded and answered Dacia.

“Neither do I.”

****

After a good night’s sleep, we arrived at the exit of the ruins following the guide of Ceylon. The hologram of Ceylon held out its palm toward me and Dakia in front of the exit.

– The ‘key’ you used to enter here. I want you to give it to me.

Dacia asked me while taking out the ‘key’ from her pocket.

“What should I do?”

I remembered the promise I made with the leader of the excavation team before coming here, but we had no other choice.

There was no way that Ceylon, who had placed a guardian for the huge golden giant, would not have thought of the number of cases where he would leave without returning the ‘key’.

If you enter this place with the same key again, you won’t be in good shape.

“I think it would be better to give it.”

At my word, Dakia pushed forward the ‘key’ without any regrets. A metal arm sticking out of the wall took the key Dacia held out.

The holographic Ceylon smiled contentedly and told us.

– thank you! See you then!

see you again?

Dacia let out a shrieking scream.

“What?!”

The exit of the ruins moved randomly and swallowed Dakia and me. A low voice from Ceylon followed us as we were forcibly ejected from the ruins.

– 10 of my works, numbered. collect them all Then something very interesting will happen!

With that said, we stormed out to the place where we had activated the key. Dakia, who quickly regained her balance, said in a bewildered voice.

“The exit of the ruins is moving arbitrarily, this is the first time I’ve heard of this…”

Dakia frowned as she said something. It was because of the smell. Dacia spoke to me in a small voice.

“Priest Marnak. This smells like blood, right?”

I nodded and lowered my voice in response.

“It’s not just the smell of blood.”

“yes?”

Inside the huge cave the excavation team was excavating, I could feel the strong smell of blood and the shimmering divinity. Some of them were very familiar divinities.

“It seems that worshipers of evil gods have attacked the excavation team.”

Soon I came up with a possibility as to why the worshipers of the evil god had attacked the excavation team.

What if they didn’t attack the excavation team, but tracked the location of the sacred object with a sealed divinity through a method I didn’t know about?

“Princess. Wear the mask you received yesterday and wear your robe tightly. Hide your hair as much as possible.”

“yes.”

While Dakia did as I told her, I quickly took off my priestly uniform and took off my top. Embarrassed, Dacia called my name.

“Priest Marnak…?”

A bracelet took the form of a black armor covering his right arm.

“They won’t know we’ve come here yet, so we’ll need to hide our identities a bit. We don’t know how many enemies are here, so we have to think about the possibility of missing some of them.”

I took an ancient relic mask from my bag, threw it over my face, and smiled.

“That’s why I plan to welcome them as ‘human butchers’.”
