Chapter 212 – 212. Old Adage

“Whoa…”

Kang In-ho took out a towel from his bag and wiped his face.

When the core of the adult parasitic tree was destroyed, the surrounding temperature dropped slightly and the unpleasant blood in the air was slightly dispersed.

Moreover, the parasitic hosts that were wandering around all over the place also stopped acting and died. The aftermath of the nuclear destruction spread rapidly.

“It feels like the attack was successful.”

[I see.]

By killing the adult parasitic tree, Kang In-ho increased his survival grade by a total of 8 and received a special reward. Also, his entire body became Kang In-ho’s property.

The corpses of adult parasites, which are a mass of organic matter, can produce various results depending on how they are used. Moreover, since the soul stone has been dropped, you will be able to summon the adult parasitic tree as a dark spirit.

[Anyway, I can feel a similar energy from the other side. I think this should be understood somewhat as a field boss concept.]

“Field boss?”

[It seems like a similar energy was felt in each of the three areas. If you destroy them all… This city will be liberated. I think this is a condition.]

“Indeed.”

Agaf, like Lamech, also saw through the strangeness of this place. The tyranny of the Yi people is limited to the city of Gimhae. If we destroy the beings designated as cores, this place will return to normal.

It will be as cold as outside the barrier.

“Then let’s quickly acquire skills, get rewards, and then move on.”

Kang In-ho surpassed survival level 40 and decided to check out the newly created skill. If you check quickly, you will be able to go and eat Ramek before he kills the other cores.

Kang In-ho, who has an extreme last-hitting temperament, wanted to gulp down the field boss that Rameks had properly groomed without any effort.

That’s because he used up all the magical power, magical power, and even divine power in his body to deal with the parasitic Jupiter body.

“Let’s see.”

Until then, all the skills he had acquired while raising his survival level were skills that could be related to the skill itself.

So something similar must have come out this time too. In-ho Kang thought.

[Reward accumulation (S)]

[Effect: Accumulate the reward boxes you deserve and increase the quality of the boxes.]

[Handicap: When you open a reward box, you cannot accumulate it. The highest grade is golden.]

[Penalty: If you accumulate reward boxes more than 10 times, your location will be revealed to the evil apostle. This penalty cannot be sealed with a golden seal.]

“Huh.”

Surprisingly, the skill that was released this time was slightly different from the skills that had been released so far. It was not a skill that involved skills, but a skill directly related to spiritual and physical robbery. This time, a skill for handling reward boxes was introduced.

“If used more than 10 times…”

[The location is specified by the apostle of the evil spirit.]

“What the fuck.”

[But.]

“If I use it well, I might be able to use it as an inducement.”

[Not now.]

“Know. “I have no intention of getting involved with the evil spirit just yet.”

Moreover, the penalty was banned. It seemed like it was blocked on purpose, as if you had to fight the apostle of the evil spirit if you wanted to use this skill to extract mulberry.

[It must have been blocked on purpose.]

“I guess so?”

[Yes… After all, this skill is also created by constellations like Asmorphia.]

“You are putting silent pressure on me to catch the evil apostle.”

[My thoughts are similar. The strongest thing on Earth right now is probably…]

“Because it would be me. “If you want to get a good reward, you have to dig around in a poisonous pumpkin.”

Kang In-ho laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

“This is so burdensome because you trust me so much. Just go on strike? There is no Asmorphia. “What is this?”

[A strike is not bad… But…]

“You were going to say that if I went on strike, the Earth would end just like that, right?”

[It seems like we’ve stuck together too much. Now you have reached the point where you can read my thoughts. Don’t laugh because it’s creepy.]

“Hehe…”

Kang In-ho laughed again at Agap’s words. Then she turned her attention to a special reward.

Zaetl kwae. This is the official name of the adult parasite. Currently, Kang In-ho is the only person on Earth who caught this.

Not only was there no one who had built up the build-up as steadily as Kang In-ho, but most of them just chose to run away or move base, and Kang In-ho was the only one who thought of attacking them so ignorantly.

There were some who tried to do something with firearms, but most of them failed.

“Give me compensation.”

Kang In-ho shouted at the unknown constellations who might be watching him from somewhere.

Soon three options appeared before his eyes. Just like when he became the first vampire hunter and when he carried out a blood terror attack, three compensation plans came to mind.

[Reward List]

[One. Crown of the Blood Tree: This is a crown made from the Blood Tree, which can be said to be the origin of the parasitic tree. When worn, your race will change to Blood King Tree and you will take root on the planet.]

[2. A cup containing the Precious Blood: A cup containing the blood of an evil spirit! If you drink the blood in the cup, you will be directly connected to the evil spirit and can become an apostle of the evil spirit!! It’s truly the best option!! Let’s be happy together!]

[3. Red fruit of Kwae: When taken, parasitic plants can grow inside the body. Parts of the body can be transformed into parasites and used. You will now be able to revive corpses.]

“You laid a trap so blatantly.”

[Huh…]

Item number 2 is a trap. He was very determined and was trying to soak Kang In-ho.

‘What on earth is this evil spirit? No, even this reward must have been given by the Constellations… Perhaps some of the Constellations have already been taken over by the Evil God or destroyed?’

“Fuck. This might be more serious than I thought.”

If there was one thing Kang In-ho believed in, it was that constellations like Asmorphia would protect the people of Earth, but now the situation has worsened to the point where evil spirits have infiltrated even compensation.

“Fuck. This is so cliché.”

[Huh? What.]

“No… In novels, the main character becomes a god at the end of the story and then kills or subdues the god.”

[Hmm. So.]

“In the end, I thought I would have to catch this bastard later.”

[… Hey.]

“Huh?”

[No matter how much you… That’s a bit…]

“Why not! What is that hopeless reaction?”

[To catch a god… You have to either become a god or gain the power to kill a god. In my view, there is no way for both in this world.]

“What do you mean?”

[This means literally. This world doesn’t have enough energy to accommodate a new nova. And in a world where most of the gods have already died, there is a very high possibility that there are no gods left who can bestow the power to kill gods. The power to kill gods ultimately comes from the same god.]

“What you’re saying is.”

[This means that not only does this world not have enough energy for a new god to emerge, but there is not even a god who can make it possible to kill a god.]

“… Then, in order to catch the evil spirit…”

[I fall into the contradiction of having to ask the evil spirit for power.]

“And. What the fuck. No, what about Garia of the Blue Moon?”

[Looking at it, I think the law of Cheongwol that was given to you was her limitation. I think I’m already too old.]

“…”

Kang In-ho was at a loss for words.

In order to kill a god, you either have to become a god or gain the power to kill a god, but both were impossible in this world.

“Then what do you do? Should I continue to be chased like this and die?”

[That’s not it again. A good idea just occurred to me… Why did I forget this maxim? Haha. Haha. Yes, why do we have to fight and fight like crazy? All we mortals need to do is pray!

“What. What are you talking about?”

[Listen carefully. All you have to do is wake up a being that can compete with the evil spirit.]

“What? Is that possible?”

[I judged the strength of the evil spirit to be at least as strong as the three main gods of the pantheon.]

“What are you talking about? “If you say so, I don’t know to what extent.”

[So, to put it simply, he was a god with enough potential to be called a new god. If we were to consider the level at this point… He is close to the ‘god king’ in this universe.]

“Ugh. This evil bastard. He’s so fucking strong. I’m suffocating from despair…”

[Hey. Don’t despair already. He’s close to a god-king, but he’s probably not omnipotent. The fact that they are trying to lure you into such shallow waters right now shows that they have not yet reached the stage of distributing their power properly. Therefore, you just have to catch it before the evil spirit goes completely crazy and goes on a rampage. All you have to do is summon at least three gods.]

“More than three gods…?”

[Kang In-ho. Have you ever heard this? Very. It’s a very old… An age-old maxim.]

“An old maxim?”

[Okay. In ancient times, the concept of God was not yet fully understood. A turbulent time in the universe when I was just born. A proverb created in the mythical era.]

Agaf, the deadly beast, remembered the being that created him a long time ago.

In ancient times, it was taken for granted that gods would eat other gods and that humans would sacrifice fellow humans.

This is what the shaman who gave birth to the deadly beast said at that time.

Of course, it was a kind of consolation, more of a forced method to deal with an enemy that could not be defeated… But it was still quite an effective method.

[Three fight against one.]

Trinity.

A fist-pumping prayer meta aimed at catching and kicking the God of God, who is considered to be a genius. A crazy method of summoning three lesser evils to catch the worst.

[I already have a connection with Garia. After finding and summoning the remaining two gods. It’s about catching the evil spirit.]

“Awakening two more gods… I’m too busy destroying pagan symbols.”

[Pagan symbols… As you follow them, don’t divine beings keep appearing? There will be a clue. No. There is a god closest to you right now.]

“What.?”

[Demon God’s vessel. If you unseal her seal, you can summon the demon god. If you use him… Voila! Two gods have already gathered.]

“You are crazy. “I wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

[One is a dying god. One is a sealed fool. Increase your power by destroying pagan symbols. If you can increase your strength to the point where you are not intimidated by God… You will be able to sit at the negotiating table. As a result of analyzing the characteristics of a being called the Evil God… It is like a monster that increased its power by swallowing other gods. Perhaps everyone is trying to join forces because they don’t want to be eaten by the evil spirit?]

“So, there is a great evil called the Evil God, and if I increase my power to a certain extent and become unable to ignore it, then Garia and the Demon God might listen to me. “Isn’t it gambling?”

[Yes, it is a gamble. So what. What can we do now? You should be thankful that you can even gamble. Can’t you hear the screams of those who are unable to do anything and are dying miserably? And now you are just like a bug in the shoes of the gods. You have to be at least a puppy to listen. You have to become strong. Enough to reach half a body.]

“Huh.”

[Then you probably have no choice but to listen? If you don’t want to be killed by an evil spirit. You’ll have to follow our plan. Trust and follow. I will go with you until the end.]

Agaf now saw hope.

Almost the only way to deal with ridiculous evil.

A ray of light blooming in despair.

[The small talk ends here. First, I have to kill the remaining two field bosses. Ah! Take the magic stones!]

“Oh, okay.”

Kang In-ho was puzzled as to why she looked so excited and took the Sacred Sacrament’s Soul Stone.

He won’t know.

The joy that Agaf feels now, having found light in the abyss of despair where he couldn’t even see an inch ahead.

Agaf, who probably despaired more deeply because he knew more than Kang In-ho, who knew nothing, forced a smile.

Of course, her method is also not the correct method.

A crazy method of forcibly waking up a sleeping wolf and resurrecting a poisonous demon.

It’s an insane gamble that has a 98% chance of failing.

But even so, Agaf risked everything on the remaining 2 percent.

Because the moment you give up, all stories end.

Agaf did not want to end this journey yet.
