Chapter 421 – 421. That’s Mine

Parasites were spread throughout the forest by Vesper, and Spenta Mainyu’s body was brought here by Hellus.

Soon, the body of God will manifest in this world. Before that, we must kill Nous and retrieve the spiritual body of Mainyu that he swallowed.

Perhaps, just by killing Nous halfway, Mainyu’s ego would naturally return to the summoned body.

To do so, you must first head to Nous.

However, summoning her body to immediately hold on to Spenta Mainyu’s lifeline brought about a bigger wave than I thought.

‘It’s too much.’

Mushrooms grew on all living things in the forest contaminated by Mainyu’s energy, and those who had fully grown mushrooms lost their reason and started going crazy.

The half-melted dwarves screamed and rushed at us, and the moldy, tasteless tree spirit Ent and the flower spirit dryad spewed spores in all directions with cries or laughter.

In addition, all kinds of forest fairies ran amok scattering miasma in all directions.

Even more horrifying were the rotting spirit creatures.

‘I guess that’s a witch beast now.’

Spiritual creatures of the forest, who have become ‘obscure things’ that have not died due to the energy of corruption, have blocked our path.

-Bang!!!!

“They won’t die in one hit!”

“Shoot till you die!”

“Ugh!”

Aram shot and smashed the gun blade. Even so, only the head exploded, but the body did not die, and swung its front paws at us.

The 4-meter-long giant beast’s attack was quite lethal, but the decaying fluid pouring out of its body was more dangerous than that.

This, I was going to go to Nous in a good way, but somehow I got stuck because of crazy spirit creatures.

“It is a state of complete assimilation with the forest. You can’t kill it by normal means. And… A guy named Nus is controlling the spirit creatures who couldn’t die with the Deer King’s crown.”

Heesun noona, who had her eyes closed and her hands on the floor, murmured. She seemed to have read something. She’s controlling a rotten spiritual being.

“Vesper, are you still there?”

“Ouch.. Now, wait a minute. Soon. Soon..”

Vesper was gradually getting smaller in size as it gushed out blood, and Hellus and Zeki started to put up a square to prevent the corrupt things from approaching.

Gradually, the body of the real goddess will be revealed. She has to write numbers quickly before that.

“Me, contact success!!!”

“Ohh!! Finally!!”

Vesper, who had turned into a little boy, shouted.

The forest vibrated once. The time has come.

******

Corrupted Forest, Corrupted Reservoir.

Wearing helmets and corroded protective clothing that had turned black from rust from the miasma, a group of Yi tribes had set up a camp next to the reservoir.

They had been idle for weeks sitting on the ground staring at the unchanging forest.

At this, Hawar, the leader of the mercenary corps composed of Yi people, frowned at him.

Seeing the members screaming and crawling, the anger surged up for no reason.

“Turn it off. Fuck. How long do you have to stay here!”

“Shut up, Malfort! Don’t demoralize yourself unnecessarily!”

“Ah. Leader.”

“More than that, everyone, get your weapons! I just got a call from the black market. Finally, that mad cultist and his minions will come in here!! Then I will fight to the point of bloodshed with the dogs of the pantheon. We’re looking for that gap Everyone wake up!!”

Being a bigot, they have been waiting tirelessly for Jang Jo-jun to enter the forest for three weeks already.

The information that Manmajeon and Manshinjeon would collide here had already been released by someone, and numerous opportunists brought all kinds of equipment and were waiting in advance to suck only the sweet water.

It’s not just Hawar’s team. Currently, there are approximately 132 mercenaries and 44 relic hunters gathered throughout the Forest of Corruption.

Of course, none of them had technicians higher than Hellus, so their skin was rotting away from pollution and decay in real time.

Only the high-ranking Yi tribe, such as Hawar, who came with decent equipment, or some unique individuals who had originally lived in such an environment, remained in the forest with patience, only looking for a chance to bounce with the goddess’ spiritual body.

Of course, there was no hope given to them when Jang Jo-jun entered the forest, summoned Spenta Mainyu’s body, and released the parasites.

“Uh uh…”

“Hey!!! Aidar! 이 등신 새끼야!! It’s been a while since I sent out scouting, so come now!! Late! Get your weapons quickly!”

“Aaaaa…”

“What is that bastard? Leader. Aidar, is he in a very strange condition?”

“What? Why is that bastard all of a sudden? Haaaaah, I have to go into the operation from now on, but it’s annoying for me to pay attention to each one. Just take a cleanser. I can’t kill it. It will be a putrefactive seizure again anyway.”

“Is it?”

At the words of Captain Hawar, Malpor took an expensive cleanser worth 2,000 coins a bottle and approached his comrade.

In fact, even though it was a purifier, it didn’t have much effect, but if you didn’t feed it, there were people who died one after another.

“Hey, Aidar. Can you hear me? Raise your arms three times if you understand! You are in a strange state right now.”

“Aww.”

Malfort sensed that the staggering Aidar’s condition was worse than he thought, so he put the purifier back in his pocket and drew his gun.

It was because there was a high possibility that he was consumed by poison and went mad. Those who did that could not be helped, but it was simpler to deal with.

“Hey. Aidar I’m sorry, but… Uh, what!! Hey!! Stop!! Oh oh! Aaaaa!!!!!”

Malfort fired at Aidar, but Aidar did not stop. The moment I got closer to a certain distance, Aidar’s body exploded.

“Aaaaa!!! Shivaaal!!! Infected!!!”

“What?!”

“Suddenly infected people are… Real!!!”

Parasites poured out of Aidar’s body, which exploded. I couldn’t even guess how many parasites were contained in the body of one bijok.

Yes, Aidar was used as a carrier. A carrier that will take the parasite to the place where the Yi tribes gather.

For reference, the parasites were virtually eradicated inside the Forest of Corruption.

It is an environment where it is difficult to guarantee survival even for the hosts that parasites will live on, so there is no way that parasites can survive.

However, the story of those who multiplied by drinking Vesper’s blood was a bit different.

“Aaaaa!!!!”

“Shit!!! Moss roundworm!!!”

“What is that again!!”

“It’s an Alcid adult!! Why did he come here!!!!”

Enhanced parasites clung to the bodies of forest beasts and bipods, gutted them, chewed and devoured their brains, dismembered, manipulated, multiplied, multiplied, and multiplied.

The number grows like crazy. Most of the 132 mercenaries were degraded by being eaten by parasites, and the relic hunters quickly fled from the forest of corruption.

The most terrifying thing about the Apostle of Disaster is that he increases his limbs anytime, anywhere. The Forest of Corruption was no different.

“Stop playing and shoot! Is the thing you’re holding in your hand a decoration? Shoot!! Shoot!! You bastards!!”

At Hawar’s cry, the Yi tribes started shooting at the approaching infected.

For them, the ghosts were about to wail why parasites came out of the forest of corruption. At least it was a rotten sprite or a tainted slime from the swamp.

Yes, there weren’t that many monsters in the Forest of Corruption. It was just a place where the environmental factors were too great to survive.

“Coke. Coke. Kuheh uh uh uh uh…”

“This, my… It’s so good!!!”

“Shibaa… From his nose… A mushroom grows…”

“Tie and the counter exploded!!! The intensity of corruption has increased!! Do, Domaaaaak!!!”

In any case, their resistance did not last long.

It was because Spenta Mainyu, which soon appeared halfway, made a visibly large mass of spores float in the air and cling to the bodies of these people.

“Ah, a mushroom grows out of that bastard’s mouth!!! Leader!! Try something!!!”

“You have to run!! This forest is crazy!!”

“…”

Hawar backed away as he watched his men die in real time, or rather transform into new beings.

On one side, it was eaten up by a parasite and turned into a monster, and on the other side, a mushroom grew from inside the body and the body was disintegrating.

‘Fucked.’

In an unexpected disaster, Hawar ran alone. He had to flee. He had no way of escaping, however. The ship they came on had already been taken by parasite hosts, and the only enemies they went anywhere in the forest were.

In the end, the dopian Hawar chose was the center of the forest, a place with a divine tree. I don’t know if he’ll accept him, but if he’s there, it’ll be safer than being among those monsters.

“Ha ha.. Ha.. Ha..”

As time passed, the skin became more and more itchy, and the eyes became bloodshot. This is because his protective clothing, which was one step above the members, was eventually pierced by spores.

‘No. How much did you spend here? It’s the only chance to obtain the spiritual body of a god. So please. I can’t die here.’

Fuhuaaak!!!!!

Hawar’s head exploded. A spear of light stuck in his head.

It was the light emitted by one of the priests gathered around the sacred tree.

“Nus-nim..!!! The Yi tribes are coming! The barrier is shaking!!!”

“Don’t make a fuss, you weaklings. Here is my barrier. So you continue to purify the sacred tree.”

As Nus swallowed Spenta Mainyu, the center of the forest where the sacred tree grew was gradually purified. In addition, a barrier was created in a certain area, healing the body and stabilizing the mind of those inside.

And Spenta Mainyu was also receiving that influence as it was. Gradually, her presence disappears. Moreover, her power was seeping from Nous.

“Ha. You are full of strength.”

Floating in the air as if to show off her own strength, Nous swung her hand at the infestations knocking on the barrier.

Fuhuaaaaa!!!!!!

As he swung, the roots of the divine tree grew out of the ground and crushed the Yi tribes, and flowers bloomed on the roots and corrosive liquid poured down, melting all the corpses.

Haha!!! Did you see!! This is God’s hee–i-i!?!”

Aaaaa!!!!!

“Keep it off!!! What…!!!!!”

Koo Goo Goong!!!!

Huge tentacles landed on top of Nous’s arrogant head.

“Kuheouk… Heavenly Punishment. It’s a punishment.. You bastard.. Cool.”

Jang Jo-joon laughs at Nous, who is pinned to the ground, while spitting up a bowl of blood as a side effect of the punishment.

Nous’ body was crushed in half by the huge tentacles, and the divine neck, which emitted the energy of purification by receiving his divine power, was broken and snapped.

At the same time, the barrier that protected the players belonging to the Pantheon and Nous’ subordinates was completely destroyed, and the infected jumped into it.

“Wherever you go with a woman, you laugh and fuck around. Give me my goddess, motherfucker. That’s mine coo heo. It’s mine…”

Two tombstones standing next to Jang Jo-jun were smashed.

The manifestation of the God of Calamity, the heavenly punishment, fell from his hand.

It is difficult to determine whether Nous suffered greater damage or Jang Jo-jun suffered greater internal injuries.

This was the beginning of the true fight against evil gods.
