Chapter 67 – Anomalies (9)

“Whoa….”

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his trembling limbs.

Now I’m fucked hard like the beginning of a famous novel.

A fundamentally different situation from the past, when H&A’s strategy knowledge and overflowing gold were safely used.

If you can’t solve it safely anyway, you have no choice but to take a risk.

At least I should bet as much as my opponent bet.

The plan to waste time by running away was abandoned.

I defeat Edmerek.

With that promise, he tightly wrapped his dagger and staff in both hands.

To be able to run away at any time.

So that we can embed magic and daggers into his neck.

Pachaang-!

The water barrier breaks down shortly after. Using the crushing sound as a signal, he kicked the ground.

Forward rather than sideways.

“I don’t think anything will change if I recover! One more bite and that’s it!”

Edmerek’s predation in the air flew in as if he had been waiting for it. A gaping translucent jaw and pointed teeth.

Looking straight at it, I shouted the magic starter word I had prepared for this short time.

“Shield!”

Originally, the shield is a transparent protective film that covers all directions. It’s only natural that I have to protect my body automatically in case of emergency.

But after all, magic is based on imagination.

This is a natural reason that also applies to me, who naturally implements magic with standard values ​​thanks to system calibration.

The shield, attracted by the intense image, changes its appearance.

It looks like the letter H turned sideways.

The force field, solely to keep that translucent beast from shutting its mouth, began to do its job.

Cringe

A terrible sound heard as the shield was crushed. Still, it didn’t break at once like before.

That’s enough.

With plenty of mana, he manifested one basic magic.

“Terra!”

A large mound of dirt rose at his feet. Using this as a stepping stone, he jumped high.

As soon as he got out of the range of empty stomach, he chanted the next magic chant and charged Edmerek again.

Edmerek, enraged by this for some reason, shouted with bloody eyes.

“Even a knight could not escape his mouth! You think it’s possible for a wizard!”

And the ensuing chain predation.

Even though my jaw is still intact on my back, new teeth pounce on me from both sides.

The shield can only block one of the two, and even if you make a platform, the jumping speed cannot be faster than the running speed, so you will be caught in the air.

But it doesn’t matter. The spell I was chanting in the first place was neither.

“… Be the invisible hand! Force Grab!”

Force Grab, one of the telekinetic magics.

It’s usually magic that’s used to attract or restrain enemies, but… I use it a little differently now.

Awesome

“Cuck!”

Every bone in his body made a terrifying sound, and a shriek flowed from his mouth.

It was because the transparent hand that was embodied in the distance in front of me violently pulled my body.

It took my breath away, but the effect was certain.

The floating body accelerated rapidly and escaped Edmerek’s range.

“What… ?”

Edmerek was taken aback by me, who was clearly different from before when he ran away, and didn’t hesitate to the extent that it could be said to be reckless.

It’s still too early to be surprised.

Even in the shock of the force grab, the next magic that I chanted was still there.

“A blazing fire. Sharp arrows. You are a flash that pierces my enemies.”

Hwareuk.

Three long, skewer-like fire arrows float above my head.

“Fire Arrow!”

A flaming arrow fired quickly with a start word.

It is a bit weak for a fire type, but instead, it can fire three at the same time and has a fast throwing speed.

In addition, the flame sticks to the body and inflicts continuous damage.

To put it simply, it’s troublesome to get hit, but it’s a magic that’s hard to avoid.

Usually you have to block it, but… Edmerek, who had just used Chain Predation, had no clear means of defense.

I thought so.

“O turbid unity! I offer my body! Give me your breath in return!”

Pak!

One eye of Edmerek bursting out with a short prayer.

Is it a self-sacrifice order?

Okay. Even the priests of evil spirits must be priests.

This is also a pattern that doesn’t come out in H&A, but now I’m surprised that it’s like that again.

A miracle performed by someone the equivalent of an archbishop in exchange for a part of his body. The effect was simpler than expected.

A small hole suddenly appeared in the air. A strong manpower developed around this.

Huung-

Then, it draws in and devours everything around it except for Edmerek himself.

A sight like a tiny black hole.

Even the fire arrow I threw couldn’t escape from here.

The trajectory of the flaming arrow that was flying towards Edmerek is sharply bent, and then it is sucked into the hole.

Maybe for a while, all the other magic I’ll be using will be sucked in too.

But it doesn’t matter.

If he lost one eye, shouldn’t I be prepared for that as well?

Instead of enduring against the gravitational force that was felt even from afar, he gave himself up and threw himself.

A speed that is incomparable to when I ran with my own strength.

Maybe I didn’t like the fact that I was using the power of the turbid unity. Edmerek expressed his authority with a distorted face.

“Dare… !”

This time, the translucent jaws attacked from the front and sides at the same time, as if refusing to give them a way out.

The pain of having my side pierced comes to mind clearly, and I try to stop my steps.

Shaking his head lightly, he shook his teeth and cast another Force Grab at the right timing.

Wooddeuk.

“Keuk….”

Maybe it’s because the situation is urgent, so it’s more strongly expressed than before.

I was just holding on, and several of my ribs started complaining of excruciating pain.

However, enforce

Huung.

A body almost tossed into the air. The bones all over his body creaked and screamed at the recoil.

The ribs, which had not been in good condition since before, pierced the brain with pain.

Maybe it’s broken

“Cool.”

Vomited blood flowing out of the temple.

Sick. Have you ever experienced this level of pain in your life?

There, this is just the beginning.

It’s because the evil spirit’s breath that sucks in everything around him and Edmerek, who prepares for the next manifestation of authority with red eyes, remain.

Even the slightest mistake leads to immediate death.

A terrifying sensation as if standing on tiptoe on top of a blade.

But it’s okay if you don’t make mistakes.

It is said that it is thanks to the system correction, but I am confident in controlling my body and magical power.

At a height that reached the common ceiling, Edmerek’s gaze met.

Annoyance and annoyance. And a face that oozes a bit of boredom.

No matter how much he fights under the command of his god, if he misses the one he’s captured twice, he’ll get pissed off.

So, he smiled and threw the staff he was holding.

Because he had to empty one hand to drink the potion while floating in the air. You can also use magic without a staff.

Of course, a staff member who has not cast a secondary spell poses no threat.

Knowing this, Ed Merek didn’t take much action, though he just stretched out his open hand to me like his mouth.

Took.

If you get hit in the head, you can’t help but feel bad.

As I took out the recovery potion with the hand holding the staff and smirked as I drank it, Edmerek growled like an angry beast.

“… Stop being his meal!”

Sharp teeth covering the whole area.

Unlike before, when multiple void predators were used consecutively or simultaneously, it felt like they had grown one size like crazy.

I tried provocation, but it was useless.

I wonder if he ate the archbishop’s seat on a daily basis, he was forcing the worst of the cases I had imagined.

Right now, I can’t prepare for the next spell because I’m drinking a potion, and I can’t even run and avoid it because it’s mid-air.

Still, there is a way.

Magic explosion.

Although it is faster than any other magic to explode the mana that has not yet become magic.

Since it is not magic, there is no function to protect the caster, and the fuel efficiency is low, so it is a skill for emergencies.

Isn’t it just for now?

Perong!

“Suck!”

A violent explosion behind my back shakes my body.

A vision that rotates round and round. The pain of a broken back. However, the direction was right.

Enemy. Thud!

Leaving behind the heavy muffled sound coming from somewhere in the distance and the sound of something breaking, the body rapidly shot towards Edmerek.

“This… ! Do you think that you can pierce his miracle!”

The body that was obviously flying toward Edmerek is gradually being dragged toward the hole in the air.

So, he continued to explode his mana.

Perong! Pop! Pop!

Corrects the flying trajectory with the recoil of the magic explosion.

Every time that happened, not only my back, but also my shoulders and legs were all in tatters… He swallowed the potion left in his mouth and gradually recovered.

A bizarre movement that seemed to ping-pong his body with magic.

By the time I passed the hole called by the turbid union. My body was already in tatters.

“… Did you think it would work somehow if you just approached it? With a body like that? OK! Don’t let it end like this!”

Edmerek, who sees me falling over his head like a meteorite, has dark red energy in his bony hands.

There is no such thing as any other skill. I just sharpened the holy power of the turbid unity and wrapped it around like a knife.

For me who was already seriously injured, that alone would be a lethal attack, but….

Since the main body is so insignificant, the swinging speed is too slow.

I forcibly held on to my mind, which had been clouded by excessive pain, and clearly saw the trajectory drawn by its capital.

And with the falling speed and weight intact, the shining lion dagger he had been holding tight was overlapped on top of it.

“AA AA AA!!”

The blow fired with a scream and Edmerek’s hands collided. And.

Wow!

In a blinding flash of white light, Edmerek’s hand was cut in half.

The holy power of the turbid unity that had been shining menacingly a moment ago had disappeared.

“What… ?”

Edmerek with an expression of incomprehension.

Okay. This is what I was aiming for from the beginning.

I was growing rapidly in the first place, but I couldn’t put an effective hit on Edmerek no matter what I did with my magic.

However, the shining lion dagger called the limited bamboo spear in the early and mid-levels is different.

======================

【Shining Lion Dagger】

A pure white dagger with a carving of a roaring lion on the pommel.

The blade, with a texture closer to bone than metal, sometimes emits a warm glow.

A dagger clad in holy brilliance will become even sharper than usual.

… And the brilliance will shine brightest in the dark.

– When attacking, 10% chance to apply additional light property damage.

-Increases critical hit damage by 30%.

– When dealing with cultists, the extra hit rate and critical hit rate are fixed at 100%.

======================

The dagger, which had a high critical hit, even bounced the additional damage of the light attribute, which was said to be the weakness of the demons.

On top of that, with the protection effect of the sun god, it even became stronger for light property damage.

Edmerek, who is specialized in authority, would not be able to accept this, as he would have known if he had dug into melee combat properly.

I hurriedly fed Edmerek, who was aiming for my side with the other hand, with a magical explosion.

Quaang!

“Ah!”

The guy whose arm, which was already like a tree branch, snapped and broke and bent in a strange direction.

Because the explosion exploded at such close range, a handful of flesh from my side was ripped off.

A wound similar to the one he received from Edmerek’s empty stomach.

But now the situation was the exact opposite.

Edmerek, who hasn’t given up yet, wants to pray again.

“A turbid union… “

He covered his mouth with one hand and shouted.

“Tinder!”

Hwareuk.

“Turn it off!”

The guy who ate animals and monsters well, but this one wasn’t good enough, so he groaned in pain.

Still, once it’s over, I’m sorry.

“Tinder. Tinder. Tinder. Tinder.”

Constantly burning his face with flames, he raised his dagger again.

I watched with pleasure as the eyes of the guy who saw the sparkling sword body were colored with resentment.

Poo-wook.

As it was, he thrust the shining lion dagger into Edmerek’s chest.

Momentary flash. And a limp body.

Seeing that the only remaining Edmerek’s eyes had lost their focus, I burst into laughter without realizing it.

“Huh.”

The body hurts behind, and the mind is hazy.

Still I won

Could it be because of the tension? As soon as you realize this, your sight turns ping.

The belated beeps and system windows cluttering my eyes couldn’t stop this dizziness.

Squeezing the last bit of energy, I pulled out some potions from my inventory.

Clink.

I don’t even have the strength to drink, but someone will take care of it.

Eyes completely closed now.

… From now on, wherever I go, I will definitely take Carla with me.

Before losing consciousness. It was the last thought that came to my mind in the dark.
