The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 73

Accidental money.

Accidental money.

“No, it’s okay to put it down now.”

Despite my offer to go a little faster, Fossorina declined my offer. Are you also an outlier? When I let go of her, Fossori hopped lightly on the floor, nodded slowly, and spat out words.

“I can keep up with you at the speed you were running earlier. As long as you don’t know exactly what’s going to appear in front of you, it’s much better to run together than carry me.”

I pointed my chin in the direction from which the screams had come and kicked off the seat. While running, I quickly glanced around.

These ruins were pretty well preserved for having been thrown into the world. Of course, it was much older than Dacia and the ancient ruins I had been to. Everywhere in the laboratory was not able to overcome the time, and all the trivial decorations were in a state of being on the verge of crumbling even if touched.

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

another scream. Fossorina’s face grew more serious. She started moving her feet a little faster. I looked behind her behind her back. Dacia was still following at a reasonable distance.

‘killing!’

As the woman said, if this is the place where Ceylon used to make ‘Imortalium’ in the past, I wondered if there might be a pile of Immortalium that I made in abundance somewhere.

Under the pretense that most of Fossorina’s words correspond to real history, if this place was really forbidden during the ancient empire and no one was allowed to enter, somewhere in this laboratory there might be an amount of Immortalium that would make the gold people faint just by looking at it. I didn’t know.

Or things made of Immortalium have become weapons to eliminate reckless intruders.

A fishy scent that brushes the tip of the nose. The source of this unpleasant iron-tinged smell was blood.

I kicked off the seat and exploded the speed that I had suppressed until now.

bang!

I sprinted through the middle of the long corridor. But what awaited me was a dead end.

Should I break down and go in?

As I pondered for a moment, the door cracked open, revealing a passageway, as if it had noticed that I had appeared. A few people could be seen across the aisle. Without regret, I kicked my seat and threw myself into the hole.

“Go away!!!”

squeak.

The man’s terrified hammer was cut in an instant. A gleaming silver blade aimed at the excavator’s head.

I quickly controlled the armor on my right arm. Four muzzle sticks out. The magic cannon spewed fire.

Quaang!!!

After the strong impact passed, the metal mass that had been accurately hit by the magic cannon on the side bounced off and crashed into the wall. I quickly counted the number of people alive.

six. It was six.

The excavation team, which had numbered dozens of people, must have only six left because of the holy relic I brought.

This bothers me a bit.

Fossorina, who followed me behind me, shouted when she saw the people in the excavation team.

“Hey! The other guys!”

“Everything, Captain! You lived!”

“Shut up! Answer me! What happened to the other guys!”

“Who touched what, go, all of a sudden the corridors started to move wild and scattered! But we didn’t touch anything, so maybe the pursuers touched something wrong! Whoops?! Oh, that monster is back!”

rick rick rick.

The chunk of metal that had just been slammed into the wall began to rise slowly, making a clear metallic sound.

A chin and one arm blown off by something. The inside of the one-armed metal hunk humanoid weapon was not human, but was in the shape of a long sword blade. The metal weapon’s jaw snapped up and down and spat out incoherent words. The metal weapon crackled like a broken radio, lined up with partially incomplete words.

– New… fire… particle… thing…

I got a rough idea of what you meant. Because that metal weapon, which had been uttered briefly, immediately kicked off its seat and charged towards me.

A straight, single-edged sword aimed at my head and approached me sideways. I inserted the magic cannon and protruded the butcher’s blade from the back of my hand. The protruding saw blade emitted a harsh spinning sound.

Why hey hey hey!!!

The single-edged sword bounced off with a clear, clattering sound. just one crash. With that collision, I immediately knew what material the body of that metal weapon was made of.

That metal weapon was made of pure Immortalium. To be precise, I didn’t know that the years had crippled the rest of the body of that weapon except for the Immortalium.

Caang!

Once again, the butcher’s saw blade collided with the weapon’s single-edged sword. The second clash made me realize a little more certainty. This weapon was a bit tougher than the ones I had seen in the ruins of Ceylon due to the nature of the materials used, but overall it was somewhat more rugged than the Guardians I encountered at the ruins.

As expected, the works with numbers were created after Ceylon faked his death.

– Invasion… Ship….

Unfinished words. His one remaining hand, his single-edged sword, had chipped just a little bit after several collisions with my serrated blade. A few of my butcher’s cog blades must have been broken too, but I believed in the self-healing ability of my right arm armor.

Why hey hey hey hey!

The broken metal weapon and I kicked off at the same time and charged at each other. A single-edged sword aimed at my throat and stabbed me. Take the butcher’s saw blade and deflect it.

Caang!

I reached out and kicked him in the chest. There was no way to resist the one-armed metal weapon as long as one arm had bounced off. He rolled across the floor and hit the wall again. The time I ran towards him.

Posorina jumped out from the side and stepped on the side of the single-edged sword of the metal weapon, shouting.

“Hey! What are you doing! Are you going to let him do it all by himself! Don’t watch but help!!! You bastards!!!”

Following her cry, the men who had been standing there in a daze jumped up and grabbed the limbs of the struggling metal weapon and stretched it out.

– …Particles…Huge….

The one-armed weapon struggled wildly, unable to shake off the men clinging to its body. I stepped on his chest and raised my right hand. The saw blade sticking out on the back of his right hand rotated wildly.

Why Ae Ae Ae!

Without hesitation, I struck the butcher at the head of the metal weapon. Immortalium and Immortalium collided and gnawed at each other bit by bit.

Caang! Caang! Caang! Caang!

However, while my saw blades automatically repaired, the metal weapons did not. After several strikes, the Butcher pierced the metal weapon’s head.

The struggling machine stopped moving.

Only then did the men clinging to the limbs of the weapon and Fossorina sit down on the floor, sweating profusely.

‘Kill kill!’

Mother’s joyful cry that she was completely enlightened. Well, this was really great. If it’s a whole Immortalium the size of this weapon, it’s really worth the price.

‘killing!’

A terrifying desire to sell it, pile up a mountain of gold coins, and swim in them. Mother had already sold that metal weapon and was ready to enjoy it.

Push Yi Profit.

Unknown smoke emanated from the body of the metal weapon that had stopped working. I shouted as I kicked and pushed the men who were sitting on the floor madly unable to react.

“Everyone get away now!!!”

“What, what?!”

“Do, is it poison?!”

“This is an isolated room, so what now? Captain!”

As soon as the men hurriedly backed away, the ‘Imortalium’ that made up the metal man’s body, which emitted white smoke, melted and seeped into the floor.

disease. No, my mother’s golden, ambitious dreams had melted away.

‘Murder, love, love!!!!’

My mother let out a scream that only I could hear. It was the most heartbreaking cry I have ever heard.

‘killing! killing!!!’

Urgent insistence to pour it all into a cup before it permeates into the ground. I patted my mother’s hand in my trouser pocket.

It was probably Ceylon’s intention that that metal weapon melt itself. It was clear that she had an intention to prevent those who destroyed the weapon from taking the Immortalium as loot.

‘Slayer…’

a drooping voice. Now that I am a human butcher, I am not in a situation where I can easily offer words of consolation, so I just pat my pants pocket to comfort my mother.

A muffled sound came from behind.

“Sir, no way that man! He’s doing ‘that’ in front of the weapon he defeated?!”

“Hey! Be quiet! You son of a bitch! Just let ’em have fun! You saved our lives! Respect his taste!!!”

I had to clear up this great misunderstanding right away.

Posorina, who had come to my side before I knew it, glanced at my groin and asked in a small voice.

“Is that your taste? Get excited only in front of enemies you’ve defeated? That’s why you ignored my proposal so easily…” ”

Shut up!”

I shouted fiercely and shouted at Posorina and the members of the excavation team. I saw Dacia, who had safely entered the room far away, hiding behind a pillar and watching me.

“There’s no time to hang around like a slug!!! I’m going to ‘kill’ every other hunk of metal that might be roaming around here!!! If you don’t want to be ‘killed’ at my hands, move now!!!”

Originally, I wanted to give a cool line with a more concise and metaphorical atmosphere, but human lives were always more important than my concept. I wanted to save the lives of the members of the excavation team who were attacked and scattered because of me.

I yelled at them in a growl.

“If you fall behind, I’ll throw it away!!! Idiots!!! Lives that survived at best!!! If you don’t want to be ‘killed’ at my hands, use all your strength and catch up!!!”

Even if I’m a little behind, it’s okay because Dakia is there.

Without regret, I kicked off my seat and ran toward the passage guarded by the metal weapon.

‘Murder…’

The mother, whose dream of making a fortune had collapsed, lost all motivation and asked if it was necessary to save them. I just responded with a small pat and ran down the aisle.

bang!

A harsh roar was heard. It seemed that someone was colliding with Ceylon’s weapons in the near future. I looked back slightly and accelerated even more.

As loud as this could be heard, it was clear that it was not the excavators who were facing the weapon, but the worshipers of the evil god.

Here, if the worshipers of the evil spirits were dealt with in advance, Ceylon could focus entirely on weapons.

bang!

After lightly knocking down the door that stood in the way, I jumped in and, as expected, saw a worshiper of an evil god fighting a battle with four weapons made of metal.

“Congealed rocks!!! Please use your strength! Please!!! I’m dying at this rate!!! Seriously!!!”

A huge rock giant struck and deflected the metal weapons. However, the Immortalium weapons jumped up and started charging again without taking any damage at all.

Yes, even the clash between the worshipers of evil gods and metal weapons was expected. But I was a little taken aback by a sight I hadn’t expected at all.

‘killing…?’

The mother, who was drooping, asked in a bewildered voice.

Why the hell is he protecting the excavation team members?

“Cheer up, Jamel!”

“Jamel fighting!”

“I believe in you!!! Jamel!!!”

Behind the worshiper of the evil god fighting alone, dozens of excavation members were sitting huddled together, waving their hands and cheering the orange-haired woman vigorously.
