Episode 166. Old Snake (7)

Episode 166 Old Snake (7)

The slime demon disappeared into ashes, and Gukbap’s body, which had holes here and there, slowly collapsed.

“Gukbap!”

Jackson, who was close to him, helped Gukbap, who was about to fall to the ground.

Hanna looked at Gukbap’s body his. The amount of bleeding is enormous. No matter what treatment she receives, she will not survive.

“It’s… Name… Crab… Because..”

Gukbap muttered something. I couldn’t understand everything, but I was able to roughly infer it.

Because it is better for one person to die than for everyone to die.

I guess that’s not what he said.

“Friend. Are you okay. It’s me, Jackson.”

Jackson hugged Gukbap, who was losing focus with a sad face. The damage that would have killed him instantly if he were an ordinary person was reduced by the strong body unique to a paladin and the blessing of Malak.

In the end, he would die in pain, so Hannah thought that in this situation, it could be a curse rather than a blessing.

“They all lived. “You saved my life.”

It seemed that Gukbap couldn’t hear Jackson’s words. His eyes were looking somewhere else than here.

Is it like reminiscing about the past?

“Warrior… “You made a noble choice.”

The former priest, Goga, approaches in sorrow. His eyes seemed clearer than usual as he came back to his senses for a moment.

“The Loa will guide your soul.”

Sola, Goga’s daughter and Hela’s mother, also approached, making hand gestures that I had never seen before. She was like the consciousness of barbarians.

‘Loa’ and ‘soul’. Gukbap’s eyes lit up at those words.

“Yeo, yeo.”

Even as he spat out a handful of blood while speaking, Gukbap continued speaking.

“The spirit world… “

Spirit world.

It is the name of the world or dimension where Loas live. It is a place where it is believed that those who serve Loa will go when they die after achieving great achievements.

Gukbap wants to go to that place now, or is he asking if he can go?

It seems that the funeral held immediately after Malak’s return was very impressive.

Hannah thought it couldn’t be possible, but she didn’t say it out loud. She said that even if powerful monsters pretending to be gods exist, there is no way there would be an afterlife.

It was Hannah’s idea after all.

“Of course. You will belong to the halls of your ancestors.”

“If you are the soul of a great warrior who saved the lives of many, you will definitely be able to go to the spirit world.”

Goga and Hela responded. They were laughing. It was the smile of someone who believed that death was not the end.

Gukbap swallowed his saliva, nodded his head, and passed away.

“Soup and rice… Dead. “He sacrificed himself for us.”

Jackson shed tears. A devout Christian living in Florida, USA, he was a tearful and sensitive person.

“Okay. It was a heroic act.”

Hannah comforted Jackson. For a brief moment, she thought it would be nice if there really was a place called the spirit world.

“Let’s go! The devils are coming!”

“Hey!”

But the war is not over yet. A group of demons were rushing towards the hole in the castle wall like fireflies that discovered the light.

‘You damn bastards.’

Oh oh oh-!

I looked up at the sky for a moment as if I was fascinated by the sound of a roar echoing through the ground. Giant monsters were fighting fiercely in the sky.

Thud! Boom!

Every time they collide, a loud noise erupts. These are beings that you can’t even imagine how strong they are.

I guess I should say I’m glad I didn’t get involved in that fight.

Hannah clicked her tongue and raised her sword. The fight isn’t over yet tonight. You have to fight to stay standing until tomorrow morning.

***

Crunch!

He grabbed the last dragon’s neck and broke it. The guy opened his mouth wide to release his flame breath, but his broken bone protruded through his skin, causing an accidental fire.

Grrrr-!

Flames leak from the dragon’s neck. The pain was so great that he rolled his eyes.

Yeah, it hurts a lot, right? Now die.

I bit down on the guy’s neck and ripped it off. The decapitated body falls toward the ground.

If that had fallen on the fortress, there would have been a catastrophe. I’m glad we fought somewhere far away from the tribal alliance.

Anyway, I killed all 12 dragons that were very annoying. Their breath attacks and flying hand-to-hand combat with their huge bodies were not very threatening.

Even though he persistently bit the same spot and made me see blood, it was not a fatal blow. Still, it seems to have faithfully served as a meat shield or obstacle.

There was a moment in the middle where the Seven Headed Dragons and dragons hesitated for a moment, and I don’t know why, but that gap made it easier to deal with them.

Did I receive a transmission of coordinates from mid-level demons or a call from an evil spirit? Unknown.

Ah, I’m starting to get tired.

– … !

No. It’s too early to lose focus. I haven’t caught the final boss yet.

Shaa-!

The seven-headed dragon approaches. I thought he had bought some time because he staggered back after being struck by lightning, but it seems he has already recovered from his condition.

First, let’s take a look at my condition and his condition

I now have a few teeth knocked out, a scale on my back torn off, and some blood shed from the dragons’ attack. It’s a bonus that the scales on the entire body are slightly tanned.

He lost one of his heads, his left leg was injured so badly that the bones were visible, and a bit of his tail was torn off.

Looking at my condition, it seemed like I was better, but in reality, it was quite the opposite. With its outstanding regenerative ability, it was stopping bleeding and growing new flesh and bones, and above all, it was still vibrant.

The head of the guy who was hit by the frozen breath and was frozen and shattered like glass is slowly regenerating.

Me on the other hand? I just passed the (probably) 20 minute duration of the manifestation. I’m still holding on with my mental strength, but thanks to you, I feel like I’m dying.

Ishtania… Did you just throw 100 level 1 paladins into another world to kill this ridiculous monster? You crazy bitch.

Howling!

It spouted green flames from its six heads. The flames spread like a mushroom cloud and approach me.

It is truly a nuclear explosion breath.

It’s not just the visual image that’s threatening. While dealing with the dragons earlier, I was unable to dodge and was hit directly, and I thought my whole body was burning.

My scales were slightly singed because of that skill.

I made my long body into a U shape to avoid it, and I also fired my frozen breath. The target is one of its heads.

The thing that knocked off one of its heads was frozen breath. It froze rapidly and fell off on its own.

Perhaps recognizing that it was a threatening attack, the seven-headed dragon hurriedly twisted its body to avoid it. It was quite a funny sight, but I couldn’t help but laugh.

Since I was hit hard once, I won’t take it easy. The thunderbolt wasn’t very effective.

In the end, if this happens, it will only be hand-to-hand combat.

After a moment of contemplation, I rushed over. I thought of a way to kill him.

Boom!

The moment we collided, I used the ‘Totem of Confusion’ that I had saved for the decisive moment.

Shaaa!

A guy who squirts blood with six pairs of eyes. I moved behind him and bit off the wing membrane.

As a result of what we have seen so far, this guy used his wings to fly, unlike me, who flies with a godhead wrapped around his body.

It’s probably because there isn’t enough divinity to cover the entire body. The wings are still intact, but he probably didn’t want to use the Godhead.

Or, unlike me, you may not have the skill to fly while wearing a godlike title.

Boo-!

I used my hands and mouth to tear off all of the creature’s wing membranes. It was a seven-headed dragon that was rapidly flapping its wings, but there was no way it could fly with its torn wing membrane.

The guy falls. Seeing as he doesn’t wear a god identity until the end, is the latter the correct answer?

Captured the seven-headed dragon. Even at this moment, his eyeballs were regenerating with smoke. He has almost Wolverine-level regenerative abilities.

Still, if I fight on the ground, I have a much better advantage. You won’t be able to avoid the frozen breath I’ll use next by just walking.

Thud! Boom!

The forepaw, as heavy and strong as an elephant’s forepaw, hits my body mercilessly. It hurts so much. The physical shock is shocking, but I feel like I will lose my mind due to mental fatigue.

Let’s hold on. You have to hold on. I have to kill him so everyone can live. My head hurt so much that I felt like I was going crazy, but I endured it, brainwashing myself that I was still okay.

Empty!

He threw the seven-headed dragon to the ground. A guy who fell from a place higher than a mountain, stumbles and rolls, struggling to keep his balance.

Although his entire body was covered in blood due to the impact of the fall, his six pairs of eyes had already regenerated. A tough bastard.

If he and Jinmalak had fought each other without penalty, at least a few worlds would have been lacking.

Okay, let’s wrap it up. Subdue him and apply frozen breath to his six heads. He has not found his balance yet.

It moved as if falling from the sky to the ground. The goal is the Seven Headed Dragon.

I’ll show you a headbutt with all my might. One. Two. Now is the time!

The seven-headed dragon with my deer antlers stuck in its abdomen screams in pain. It’s a hit.

I held back my head spinning and prepared to fire my frozen breath.

Oh, there’s blood coming out of your nose.

Now that I think about it, I can no longer hear any sound. Normally, when my horn just stuck into its abdomen, I should have heard a ‘Shaak!’ Sound.

My body suddenly became very heavy. Could it be that Jinmalak’s body also became unstable because the duration limit of the manifestation was exceeded?

… Are you okay. Still, I can see well. I can still fire at least one shot of frozen breath. All you have to do is feed this one properly and relieve the manifestation.

After enduring incredible mental pain, I pulled the horn out of its abdomen.
