I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 306
306fury
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!]
The moment the corps commander's skull was shattered, an incomparable scream rang out throughout the cave..
It's not the instrument that's the problem, the voice itself is terrible and uncomfortable. It feels like an invisible long finger is scratching the inside of the skull..
I looked at Mir, suppressing the urge to tear out my eardrums..
Mir, who had made a grand appearance and wielded Mjolnir, was falling unconscious as if it had been the final blow..
Because it's so high, if you drop it on the floor like that, it's probably going to hurt quite a bit... The moment the thought occurred to him, Araksad rushed forward and caught the falling Mir..
That's the moment.
Paat!
Something small came out of the shattered skull and quickly disappeared beyond the broken ceiling..
It was so fast that even if you saw it with your own two eyes, you could not identify its shape..
“just now……?”
“…….”
While Jack was confused, I first looked around..
Everyone is in total disrepair..
Rather than moving, most of them looked like they were about to die..
The instrument was so strong and it was a brutal fight, so it was inevitable..
I swallowed a curse and forced myself to stand up..
My body, which had already reached its limit, screamed for me to rest, but…….
‘Let's do one more thing. This is really the last time.’
I console my body with the kind of speech a liar would often use... Then I realized that there was one monster that wouldn't fall even in this situation..
But unfortunately, that guy was not visible during the battle with the corps commander..
Is he dead? no way.
I looked at Jack and asked.
“Have you ever seen an Inquisitor dressed as a nun??”
“Sister Rasbeth would have been dragged down here. I don't know what happened to her life or death-.”
At that moment, the ground suddenly rose, and Verita appeared from under a pile of dirt..
Jack blinked at this sudden appearance, and I thought that Verita, covered in blood, looked just like a ghost..
“ah… Brother, you are safe as expected..”
Verita saw me and smiled brightly..
‘'You're safe'…….
Of course, it wasn't a strange thing for Verita to say after reuniting for the first time in a while, but for some reason, I could sense a deep sense of relief in her tone..
It's just a guess, but I feel like this guy knew I was in danger of dying.?
Did you hear about my situation from a church member?.
In any case, Verita, rising to the ground, looked unusually tired..
Seeing him like that makes me feel tired too... I also heard the natural sentiment that.
“What were you doing down there??”
“We fought against the dead, including the priests..”
pontiff.
I just heard it from that guy..
“how much?”
“well… … . I don't know the time, but I think I took down about 1,000 pieces of equipment..”
Did he take down a thousand corpses alone? I'm not the type of guy to lie about things like this, so I had no choice but to believe him..
‘For some reason, I was a little slow to act.……’
The reason why the corps commander was beaten so many times by me seems to be because he put a lot of effort into eliminating Verita underground..
In other words, Verita will be the greatest invisible contributor to the subjugation of this army commander..
“The cane was its main body. Mir crushed its skull, and at that moment I saw something come out from inside and escape through the ceiling. I don't know what it is, but I think I need to kill it..”
“It's a parasitic demon. It may not have any power on its own, but it may cause trouble if it lives on the body of another church member who is still alive. I'm in a hurry because I don't know what's beyond the ceiling..”
Kwadang.
At that moment, Verita collapsed from her seat..
“what are you doing?”
“uh.”
Verita, who had a blank expression on her face, frowned slightly..
“…There is no strength in my body.”
Berita, who said that, seemed most surprised by her condition..
It feels like this is my first time encountering a situation like this.?
I looked at Verita writhing with a blank expression on her face, and then suddenly observed the blood all over her body again..
I had no idea that the blood was Verita's..
The amount was too much to say so, and even if it was spilled, I thought only a small portion was covered in enemy blood..
But when I thought about it, Verita's enemy was the dead..
Of course, most rotting corpses do not contain fresh blood. Needless to say, if you have white bones,.
This means that all that blood was spilled by Verita.…….
“Why don't you use divine power??”
Verita's regenerative power is at a monster level..
Even trolls can regenerate their bodies at an absurd rate, making them look cute. Even the eyeball that was pulled out was restored in an instant..
It's strange that a guy like that shed so much blood. This is because normally, the wound would have been sutured before the blood even started to flow..
Could it be that I used too much divine power and my strength has run out??
“that…….”
Berita looked a little embarrassed, but when I looked at her, she slowly and reluctantly opened her mouth..
“Referee…….”
Having said that, Berita's head slowly lowered..
“what? hey. Be, no. nun razbet?”
“…….”
A soft breathing sound was heard..
“I think I passed out..”
I know too.
I just answered to myself to Jack, who was watching the situation..
It's absurd, but Berita had lost consciousness due to fatigue..
It's a situation that makes me sigh.
The only reliable power was in this state, and there was no time to delay any longer..
“Please take care of Sister Razvet.”
“you?”
“I have to track it down first..”
“Can you climb to the ceiling??”
Jack also asked me if I knew that my physical condition was not okay..
I laughed and used Crowtaker's power..
Flying is difficult because there is no internal energy, but it is possible if you float..
“Be careful. You are the hero of this situation. I don't want to lose it in a place like this.”
“sure. I am the person whose life is most precious to me..”
Jack burst into laughter at my response. Looks like he thought it was a joke.
I'm serious.
* * *
As I stepped over the ceiling, I immediately realized that this was a familiar place..
The place where the ritual that I secretly watched with Ramon took place... … . That is, the place where Ymir’s heart was..
Here, caught in that damn blizzard, Ymir's stomach fell and Ramon died as a result..
To me, it means an uncomfortable and annoying place..
The aftermath of the snowstorm remained everywhere. The ground is frozen like ice, and the corpses that were supposed to be sacrificed are frozen as well..
Ymir's frozen heart was also visible in the center..
“…….”
First of all, you don't feel like you're popular around you, but the strangely uncomfortable atmosphere creates tension..
Could it be that he was hiding in one of these corpses?.
I slowly made my way towards the heart, wary of corpses, especially those of church members..
Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.
‘…heart.’
The heart is the core or power source of the human body..
This is one reason why church members occupied this place and used it as an altar..
If they could just make Ymir's heart their own, they would be able to manipulate this gigantic frost giant's body as they please..
Then it's dangerous.
I thought that the corps commander living in that heart could control Ymir as he pleased..
Of course, this is not their original purpose..
Ymir's body would also have been a sacrifice to the golden horn..
However, if the runaway corps commander forcibly parasitizes Ymir and moves its body using death-defying tactics,?
Even if it doesn't become a full-fledged parasite, if it's as big as Ymir, just moving is a disaster..
‘Or run away…….’
Then, the church will achieve its purpose regardless of the death of the priest, the annihilation of the church members, or the death of the commander..
Is it because of negative thoughts?.
my steps got faster.
I closed the distance between my heart and my creaking body, almost racing..
That's the moment.
Something pitch black attacked me from the right..
I reflexively pulled out the Seven Deadly Sins Sword and swung it. With a loud thud, a sound as if a liquid was being struck, something hit the sword and fell to the ground..
“……!”
What kind of creature is this??
It looks just like a centipede.
It had a long body and an enormous number of legs. However, her face was that of an old man, horribly distorted, with devil's horns sticking out, and to make matters worse, she had no eyes..
Crackle, crackle, crackle..
This devil centipede clenched its teeth.
It's a shame that he has teeth too.
There were hundreds of sharp, saw-toothed things stuck in it..
It gives me goosebumps to think of those teeth tearing into raw flesh and then taking control of the body..
[you.]
At that moment, the old man grinned..
[I just got scared?]
“Damn.”
I swung the Seven Deadly Sins Sword down..
The centipede that was clinging to me dodged my attack by turning over its stomach..
This guy was wriggling hundreds of legs like that, and it wasn't a pretty sight..
“Wow. That looks a little scary now..”
Crackle, crackle, crackle..
The sound of teeth chattering again.
Only then did I realize that that sound was the centipede's laughter..
I didn't want to hear any more, so I held the hilt of the sword with both hands and plunged it down..
Whether it's a devil or a centipede, if you pierce its head with this, it'll fall apart..
At that moment, the centipede rolled over and avoided my attack with surprising agility..
[Could it be that the plan that had been prepared for this long... I never thought it would get stuck…….]
“…….”
[but… not bad. This situation can still be reversed.…….]
“how.”
[that…….]
At that moment, a centipede appeared as if falling from the sky..
[It's you-!]
I struck down the incoming centipede again with the Seven Sins Sword..
Instead of bouncing away, this thing got wrapped around my sword, and like a snake flowing down a tree, it instantly stuck to my arm..
[What a body… … ! It's perfect as the next host.……!]
“This crazy bastard?”
Are you planning to become a parasite on my body, not on Ymir? So that means that running away to the ceiling was a fake to attract me..
I got goosebumps running down my spine and shook my arms violently, but I couldn't shake them off because this guy's hundreds of legs were stuck in my forearms like hooks..
[thank you for this food-!]
This is the moment when a centipede's tooth stuck in my forearm, accompanied by an eerie voice..
[…gagging?!]
This guy suddenly spit out blood and opened his eyes. Even so, he was even more hideous because he had no eyes.…….
wedge!
Meanwhile, I pulled out the Yin Yang sword with my left arm and plunged the sword into this guy's forehead..
With a tearing scream, the centipede fell from my arm and disappeared into the darkness again..
Continuous voices were heard as if echoing from all directions..
[this… what……?]
[Does it still have this level of resistance?…….]
[okay… … . Surely they... It's worth paying attention to.…….]
“…….”
I thought it was really difficult for such a talkative guy to keep quiet all this time..
Surely there's nothing better than shutting up to keep the weight in check.
I looked around with the Onmyodo and the Seven Sins Sword drawn..
Anyway, I have no means of attacking this guy when he's hiding in the dark. It's not a situation where you can use a reconciliation plan..
It would be annoying if he took advantage of the darkness and ran away like this.…….
Strangely, I didn't think that would be the case..
If this demon is a parasite, it won't be able to survive for long without a host anyway..
In the end, that guy was forced to become a parasite on a host even if it was too much, and he chose me as the target..
‘Is this the final fight??’
Just right.
If I have no inner strength and my whole body doesn't listen, I'll be able to have a good fight with that weak corps commander..
Kekekekeke-!
At that time, a number of beings appeared from the ceiling along with a blood-curdling sound of laughter..
There are so many different types.
There were those that stood on two legs, those that crawled on all fours, and even those that had more than ten or dozens of legs..
Still, there were two things in common..
An evil instrument worn all over the body.
And although there are differences in number, horns always stick out where the head is..
‘…It's the devil.’
A bunch of demons summoned quite intact..
It's not even a snack.
In terms of musical instruments, most of them are intermediate level demons. This means that each and every one of them is at a level that a B-level or higher hero would risk his or her life for..
It's ridiculous..
I can’t believe there was still so much alive.?
[The energy of struggle gathered from you... … . It was used as an offering to summon a demon.…….]
“what?”
[The energy I worked so hard to gather... It's painful to use it to summon such low-level things... There's nothing you can do... … . Because I have to kill you guys first.…….]
“…….”
I wanted to show off, but the spout didn't come off easily..
No matter how much I do, I don't have the energy left to fight dozens of demons in my current state..
At most, the only thing you can do is socialize with two or three..
“her…….”
I never thought I would die in a place like this.
Still, since the demon lord's summoning was prevented, should we say that the worst situation has been avoided??
‘That's bullshit.’
I laughed out loud.
There's no point in dying.
Ramon probably didn't save me so I could die in a place like this..
So, somehow survive.
Survive by preparing to die.
If I die in the first place, I don't know what that damn bastard will do with my corpse..
‘At least that centipede bastard-.’
That's the moment.
Step by step.
I heard quiet footsteps from somewhere..
Is there still more left? A thought occurred to me for a moment.…….
Beyond the crowd of demons, I came across a strange being wearing an incongruous parasol..
Step by step.
How does it make that sound when you step on the ice?.
The person wearing the parasol walked slowly as if he was trampling on black darkness rather than ice..
Only then did the demons, who felt something strange, look back..
Thanks to this, a faint face was briefly visible under the parasol, like a full moon hidden in the night clouds..
The man's expressionless face was covered with a sheet of pure white, creating a strange atmosphere as if it had hardened..
“her…….”
Is it relief or despair?.
An unknown voice leaked from my throat..
Then I made eye contact with the man..
“Are you okay??”
“…yes.”
“Araxad is?”
“It's below. Sister Mirand and Rasbeth.”
“Ramon is?”
“…….”
I closed my mouth.
At that moment, I felt cowardly for avoiding the answer and tried to speak again..
But in the meantime, the man who looked at my expression slowly nodded..
“okay.”
Clap.
The parasol is folded.
The Clan Leader of the Corrupted - Lanfero Nosferatu is fully revealed..
The man closed his eyes for a moment as he looked at the group of demons..
When it opened again, its eyes had turned a deep bright red, as if filled with blood..
The eerie gaze instantly scanned the battlefield..
[vampire.]
I heard the centipede's voice.
[Inferior race abandoned by demons... … . Your fangs cannot reach us. Didn't I pick the wrong person to show my teeth to??]
The demons burst into laughter..
Musical instruments exploded in all directions, and a feeling of intimidation weighing down the entire body took over the area..
[Look at the being before your eyes! I am the third horn of Kingarodtooth and the one who will destroy the North! You don't plan on facing all these demons alone, right??]
“okay? But I wonder one thing.”
Lanfero bared his teeth..
The fangs that seemed to have been forged in the moonlight glowed palely, creating a strange feeling that was either like a smile or like an animal growling..
“Doesn’t the devil bleed??”
