Chapter 957 – Exile Cult

“Why did you come to me?”
“Yes?”

What?
I stared at him, who had been holding his head because of his throbbing hair since he woke up.

The intangible was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

“That’s why. There weren’t many other places to go. This is it.”
“Ah. There were a lot of places to go. I had to check what was going on with the King of the palace, and I had to go and help Faltra and Maya, who were taken by Eltman.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”

I talked about everything that had happened so far, and the intangible who had been listening quietly clicked his tongue.

“That’s strange. Why did you, crazy about women, come to me first?”
“This bastard…”

Who is the yomi bird
Because of the quest. My heart is not like that.
…Maybe.

“Are Faltra and Maya weak?”
“It’s not like that.”

The two of them have lost to Intangible, but it was largely because of surprise.

Of course, intangibles are stronger, but they are superpowers that even intangibles won’t easily win if they stick together head-on.

Eltman must be strong like a warrior, but well. I think it’s going to be hard to get the upper hand on either of them.

It seems that Eltman is the strongest among the heroes excluding Kitz, but his divine power of the Judgment Church is said to be strong against ‘sin’.

Since he kidnapped Faltra and Maya, it can be seen that the guilt is rather on his side, so his divine power must be infinitely weak.

It is the story that the main specialty, the power was sealed.

On the other hand, intangibles are a different story.

“Those two can handle Eltman enough.
“Ah? Are you saying I’m weaker than that old grandpa?”

An intangible who growls at trivial words, perhaps because his pride has been seriously hurt.

“No. It’s not about the leader, it’s about the source of his power.”
“…”
“If the source, the ghost, appeared directly, wouldn’t you be able to handle it too?”
“Chit.”

I get annoyed, but I don’t deny it.
Because there is no one more objective in battle than intangible.

Okay.
The source of the leader’s power is probably the evil spirit.

I don’t know how Lee Ha-ryun and the religious leader use the power of evil spirits, but it’s not Porok that the Gwiui-gyo captured the intangible.

“But you… Did you come first? Why are you asking that? Could it be that you were happy that they put you first?”
“What dude?”

Intangibles with great anger.
But originally, the more you deny it, the more you affirm it.

“That’s right, you bastard! Yes. Isn’t this older brother happy that he came to save you ahead of pretty girls?!”
“What is this idiot saying?”
“Hey. My face got red haha”

Puck!

“Aagh!”

Got slapped across the cheek
Kill!!

We grit our teeth and rush in to grapple.
And Yubar, who looked at us quietly, said.

“You two are close.”
“Yes?”
“Ah?!”

Yubaru is shocked at the two of us…! Get scared and run away
Intangible didn’t intend to scare me, but his shy face let go of my collar.

“Tch… I made a gross noise and sat down.”
“Ai. But it’s true that this older brother came because he was worried about you. Do you think he’s grateful?”
“Shut up.”

The grumbling intangible suddenly died.

“Why split?”
“It reminded me of how the old man was pissed off.”
“That old man?”
“Chief.”

The shapeless giggled.

“Are you feeling a little sick?”

In front of the entrance of Matan, the military tent of the ‘Eight Division’.
Kitz, who was standing at the forefront, widened his eyes at the words conveyed by the user who approached.

“The users have been resurrected?”
“Yes.”

It would be surprising that users with the right to revive were resurrected, but the place and number of people who were resurrected were different from usual.

During this subjugation of Matan, Paltra had designated the resurrection of some users as the oasis of this sand sanctuary with her own unique skill, and now about 20 users have been resurrected.

And those users were presumed to have been abducted by the Exorcism before proceeding with the quest to the devil’s ear.

Kitz immediately ran to see their faces and confirmed that they were the nobles he had engaged with before.

When I asked if he had any memories of when he became a nobleman, he was sure that he said that he did not know what had happened until now, but that he did remember being killed by a beast-like blade.

If it’s a beast-like blade, isn’t there only one person?

‘Eight days.’

He is attacking the Demonic Church.
Twenty nobles comparable to the demon lord were eliminated.

As expected, Katz clenched his fists, saying, “It’s eight days.”

If the intangible who had eliminated the nobleman himself had known what Katz was thinking, he would have been stunned.

‘I’m going to feel very sick. Rector.’

I don’t know exactly the conditions for making a nobleman, but judging from various circumstances, it must be a great burden even for a religious leader.

The power of the Guildarian religion was greatly weakened.

‘But, what is his intention?’

Kaitsu recalled the past leader.
The priest I met in previous episodes was not a muscular old man like the current leader, but a clumsy body suitable for his age.

Your guess that it loses its power over time would be correct.

Then, for what purpose did the cult leader stay in the magic bullet while risking losing his power?

‘Is there something hidden within the magic bullet that we don’t know about, a mighty secret?’

Katz narrowed his eyes.
Anyway, one thing was certain.
My reincarnated intuition told me, now was the right time to make a move.
I was going to wait for the door to open, but it’s a change of plan.

Kitz decided to use the authority after a long time.

“It’s clear to see again.”

I looked down at the huge pit and marveled again.

Perhaps because the ghost king had come out, the white fog like last time could not be seen, but the black abyss and the vertically built city were still there.

“…I can see it well.”

I heard that the Exorcist Cult was somewhere in that pit, and when I looked at it according to the magic bullet’s unique wavelength, I saw a hidden Cult.

What kind of adult is that?
From the front door, it looks like a house.
Why did they build such a large and splendid main altar that only the students could attend?

“Can you see that again?”

I gave a V to the intangible with an astounding tone, and I looked down again to confirm various things.

After all, it must be the home of the monster king.
Enganhan skills cannot be used in this pit.

Even if you use air magic, it will probably be canceled soon.

“Umm… Can we go down the building?”

If you climb down the wall of a vertically built city, you will arrive at the bottom of the pit before you know it.

“There are stairs.”
“I know. But wouldn’t that be faster?”

Yubar, an ordinary person, would not be able to move by climbing down a building due to the large distance between the buildings, but we are different.
If you keep going down from fall to fall, you will reach that church in no time.

“If you want to do it, don’t lay the groundwork on it.”

Jjasik knows me too well.
Actually, I wanted to go down while riding the building.
How many times have you experienced descending into a deep pit where a ghost boss exists using side-by-side buildings and objects?

It’s something I’ve never experienced before in a game.
Originally, the more unusual the road to the hidden boss mob, the more the race of gamers catches fire.

I gestured for a moment to stay still, and then, without hesitation, ran down the pit.

Whoops.

A pleasant wind blew through her hair.
I first aimed at the tallest building.

It was to look down the pit at the end of the building.
If I had come down this far, I might have seen something else.

Widely.

Get up immediately after landing and end the building. Moment to go to the roof.

“…What an idiot.”

A strange sound came out of my mouth.
It was because something was standing at the end of the building I was going to.

I’m afraid who’s not a ghost town, I’m a newcomer, I’m a passive, I’m a passive.

Anyway, what is that?
Unlike the ghosts so far, the red body looked clear.
He’s holding a club, he’s got horns, he’s wearing something like a jumpsuit…

“…Goblin?”

It was very similar in appearance to the goblin I read in a children’s book in an orphanage when I was young.

And.

Tring!

[You witnessed the Goblin King for the first time.]
[Acquire a large amount of EXP!]

A system message rang.
Just as I was about to raise the corner of my mouth in trivial joy, the goblin king pointed his arm at me.

Kwaddeuddeuk!

“Oh my goodness.”

His arms lengthen in an instant, no, his chunks of meat fly at me like overflowing.

Aaaaang!

Not enough to shatter the seat I was in, but enough power to split a building the same height as a high-rise building into two.

I pulled out my sword and jumped up to the top of the building, and the goblin king approached me like a monkey or Tarzan, grabbing the surrounding buildings with his whip-like flesh arms.

“Come, come!!”

The moment he grabbed his sword and shouted joyfully, there was a rumble. The earth rang.

“What else…”

When the tremors stopped, countless new signs appeared.
Flock of birds flew in from the sky, and beasts emerged from the top of the building and attacked me.

Each of them contains a grotesque phenomenon.

“I thought you were a body type, but you know how to do everything.”

This vertically built city is probably a guy’s territory.
Fighting here is extremely disadvantageous.

I jumped again and again, flying upwards, slashing and slashing at flocks of beasts and birds with human faces.

Suaaaaagh!
Jjwoong-!!

With the recoil of blocking the huge arm that was swinging like a whip with a sword, I jumped up and returned to the pit again.

“Huh.”
“Aww.”

Seeing the fight so far, the intangible eyes were full of interest, and Yubaru trembled.

But, it’s strange.
The king of goblins showed no sign of chasing him anymore.

The guy who was staring at me from afar disappeared as suddenly as he appeared.

“…Aha.”
“Why did you sit there alone?”

The intangible, who had a confused expression like me, said.

“No. The top of this pit is not his domain.”

The goblin king couldn’t climb up to the top of the pit, and it seemed that only this vertical city was his domain.

“Anyway, I was wrong.”

I had seen the ghost king before, and compared it to Lop-chan’s situation, I thought that he was as strong as the eight kings of beasts put together, like the only subordinate to the evil spirits.

However, in the first place, the king of beasts was made by users to ‘attack’ and was used only for wasting time.

On the other hand, there was a difference in strength between the kings of ghosts, who had to walk directly to the ‘seal’ and subdue them.

So, will there be a total of eight kings of ghosts?
I looked down the pit carefully.

The ghost king was at the top, and the goblin king was at the bottom, so there might be other kings down there.

“…Let’s go down first.”

I looked at Intangible and Yuvar.
Because, I can’t see the ‘stairs’.
To be precise, the outline is visible, but it is too ambiguous.

“This way.”

Intangible moved without saying anything, and we followed him.
Yubar, who was supposed to guide the way, still seemed to be able to see the stairs, but he seemed a bit perplexed.

“Yubar. Are you by any chance unable to see the stairs?”
“Huh? Oh, no. I can see it well… I’d say it’s a little bit swaying…”

Be swaying

Why was the stairs only visible to the two of them in the first place?
I looked at the two carefully and felt a special wave in their eyes.

What I can feel in those eyes… Is the energy of evil spirits.
As expected, Yubar’s “Luck” And the power of evil spirits seem to be fading away.

I asked the intangible.

“You. What did the religious leader do when he became a nobleman or something?”
“I put the energy of evil spirits into my body. It didn’t work with that, so I put it in a room where spirits were roaming about. It seemed that the vice-bishop was the owner of that room.”
“…! Soul room…!”

Yubar’s eyes changed and he gnashed his teeth.

“Do you know where?”
“…I escaped from there.

She didn’t say more, but she seemed very upset.

“…Anyway. I see.”

This staircase is associated with evil spirits.
That is why even the kings of ghosts do not dare to approach.

“Intangible. I’ve seen those eyes before.”

In the past, when I fought Enris, he summoned an illusion of an evil spirit.
When that evil spirit looked at me, even my soul tasted the sensation of being frozen.

Did Enris call it a ghost?

“You. Can you do something different with those eyes?”
“I don’t know either. I’ll get rid of it soon anyway, so there’s no need to know.”

The intangible seemed to be displeased with the power that was forcibly injected into it.
I asked if it was possible to freeze an opponent with those eyes, but the answer came out that I didn’t know.
I’ll have to find out about Gwian later.

But, the road is rough.

Oh oh oh oh…

The intangible is able to stride well because the foothold is visible, but I can only see the outline and everything is transparent, so it seems like I am walking in the air.

The feeling of walking on transparent bridges that may fall at any moment.
It’s like walking on an invisible bridge that I met while playing Yu Da-hee’s game in the past.

It was a lot of fun to throw colored stones forward, carefully looking for footholds, and then just running with your senses and matching the path.

“Ugh…”

Yubar was quite intimidated.

“Why is that?”
“No. Oh, nothing.”

He thought he couldn’t complain after he brought him in, so Yuvar showed off that he was fine.

“No. I’m not trying to say anything, I’m genuinely curious. In Yubar-san’s eyes, he seems to be very scared even though he sees the stairs.”
“No, there’s no choice but to be scared?! These stairs, there are no handrails…!”

Ah.
Right.
Although there are footholds in this high place, there are no safety belts, so it is scary enough for ordinary people to want to sit down right away.

Looking at the intangible stride, it seems that the footrest is not as wide as expected.

I grabbed Yuvar’s wrist.

“Uh, huh?”
“I have a girlfriend, so I can’t hold her hand, so I’ll just hold her wrist. Don’t be afraid, I’ll save you in case of emergency.”
“Uh, yes. Yes…”

The intangible, who was staring at us, said.

“Don’t work naturally.”
“Don’t say anything weird.”

It was only a gentleman’s heart, but don’t misunderstand.

Cheer. Cheer.

Ah.
Head hurts.

With the other hand holding Yubar’s hand, I pressed my forehead firmly, and the intangible spoke in a plaintive voice.

“You. You’ve been holding your head since before. Are you dizzy from being so high?”
“No. My head has been pounding ever since I woke up.”
“? What happened to you?”
“I didn’t get hit. I keep in touch.”
“…?”

I didn’t bother explaining.

When I got to the middle of the stairs, the wind blew nonchalantly.

It’s almost like being in the middle of a typhoon.
It is even more dizzy when you consider that this wind is not just wind, but is made up of spirits.

Still, the Exorcist Bridge only had to come down to the middle of the stairs.
If you go any lower than this, you will plunge into that abyss.

…The abyss.
I thought it was just too deep and dark, but that wasn’t the only thing.

In addition to darkness, there is something black slime.
Something sticky and messy.

Slither.

Something swims in the black slime that fills the pits of the city.

Tiring!!

[You have witnessed the King of Corrosion for the first time.]
[You have acquired a large amount of experience.]

And down the abyss.
After coming down here and getting used to this space, it becomes visible.

A huge cemetery with numerous weapons and tombstones.

I see something like a human sitting in the middle of a cemetery.

The guy noticed me too and raised his head.

I won’t come this far.
Murderous intent is no joke.

Tring!

[You witnessed the King of the Undead for the first time.]
[You have acquired a large amount of experience.]
[Level has risen!!]

Tring!

[You have confirmed all four demon kings for the first time.]
[An extraordinarily large amount of EXP will be paid!]
[Level has risen!!]

There are four kings of demons in total.
Not now but.
These are the enemies you will have to deal with when you return here someday.

I saw them in my eyes and hugged Yubar.
Then, on top of the stairs, along the intangibles, I jumped up to the entrance of the main body of the Exile Church floating in the air.
