Strike – Final Chapter (3)
The divine power that resides in the holy sword can ‘purify’.
In other words, it means that it can also be used for Haeju (解呪). If you insert a holy sword into Liu, many curses will be purified by its power and disappear.
‘However, the problem is that the target is a divine deity, not an ordinary curse, so the power of the holy thing must be consumed.’
If you purify Liyu, the holy sword will return to just an ordinary ego sword, and the temple will lose its relics.
But if you don’t use the holy sword now, when will you use it? It is a valuable weapon, but it must be used when used.
I don’t know how Arthur Gran and the shrine will take it…, but at least Astiel should be used.
“So, the president has to convince me.”
“I?”
Astiel looked at himself and then nodded as if he understood.
“Yes. If Sir Arthur had come, he might have listened to me. But you seem to know the Holy Sword well?”
“…because I read it in a book.”
“Hmm. Well, such cases are famous.”
We talked for a moment while holding our breath in the section of the stairs going upstairs. If you go out, you won’t have time to rest now. Astiel sat across the stairs, and Aiden was also exhausted and sat down on the floor.
“By the way, Aiden….what did you mean by blue flame earlier?”
I liked that the mask mentioned blue flame.
It will only happen in the second half of Aiden’s awakening of blue flames and being called the ‘blue flame witch’. She must have said that she already had the magic she had acquired when she later turned into a villain….
In response to my question, Aiden meekly said that he had no intention of hiding anything.
“It is the highest class of fire attribute magic.”
…I know that.
“But can you use it?”
“Yes. Well, I’m still immature.”
Do you know if I am admiring you? Aiden gently stroked the back of his nose with a triumphant expression.
Was it possible to use blue flame in the original by now…? I searched for a moment to see if I had missed something.
Then I saw that phrase.
The first day I came here, the contents of the system arrived in the form of a message. Come to think of it, Ellen Aiden originally appeared as the enemy of the scenario. That’s why she’s also appeared in Crisis Detection Systems.
‘The enemy said that it came out stronger, so it was the same for Aiden…’
It was understandable, but still creepy and creepy. After all, it was said that he could have fought Aiden, who already knew how to handle blue flames, as an enemy.
‘It’s reassuring to have Aiden as an ally… Well?’
Then the stench that stung my nostrils began to stink. It seems to flow deeply from the passage above the stairs. uhm. I have rested enough to rest, so now I have to move. Looking at Astiel and Aiden, she nods her head.
I took the lead and went up the stairs first. As I poked my head out into the aisle, there was no sign of popularity in the hallway. There were just a number of corpses that could be traces of battle in the narrow hallway.
“Ugh. Smell.”
Aiden frowned and brought the back of his hand to his nose. A more intense stench was emanating from those corpses. For some reason, it was more of a rotten me than a bloody smell.
“It’s kind of weird.”
“Huh? It’s dangerous, so don’t go ahead.”
Astiel hurriedly followed him as he went out into the hallway without fear. Astiel approached the corpse lying in the corner and squatted down in front of it.
tuk. As he walked on the robe, his mask fell, revealing his skull.
I staggered back, but Aiden and Astiel were not surprised and looked intently at the ashes.
“Aiden. This is probably….”
“Yes. It’s not a person, it’s necromancy.”
It was the same even if I picked up another robe to confirm. The mask falls, revealing the skull. I couldn’t believe it was the corpse of someone who had just died.
On the wall was an enemy that Oh Yun-ha had knocked down. It was also the appearance of an ashes without any flesh.
“What happened?”
Obviously the masks spoke and had normal bodies, not bones. Could it be that this is a side effect of the ‘curse’ magic, so it happened immediately after death?
Feeling suspicious and examining the corpse, the stench immediately caught on. The black liquid dripping from the ashes was pooling on the floor.
This was the source of the odor. The stagnant liquid boils on its own and clumps into a mass of flesh. Seeing this, I hurriedly got up from my seat.
“Get out of here quickly. I don’t think I should be here.”
“Yeah. I guess so.”
Astiel and Aiden also stood up as if they felt something unusual.
bump Only the sound of our footsteps echoed in the long hallway. A view outside the prison comes into view through the open door. There were no colleagues to ensure that the escape route was successfully secured.
When I came out of the prison, I saw bodies covered in robes here as well. There were other sights as well.
As you can see, the flesh made from agglomeration of black liquid was crawling towards the ashes again. And when the flesh touches the ashes, it quickly multiply and cover the bones.
As a result of that phenomenon, the robes began to stagger and rise.
“Wait.”
When Astiel kicked his tongue and raised his divine power, he refused.
“It’s no use, so just save it.”
I lifted the Assault Wolf as I watched the corpses rise.
“It seems that this sanctuary also has the power to raise corpses.”
Now is the time to use it slowly. I pulled out my phone with my other hand. Seeing that, Aiden asked.
“Jihan, what are you doing all of a sudden?”
When I enter the status window, the system comes to mind.
[Do you want to enhance the perks?]
It was time to use the effect of the 46th privilege, reinforcement.
The cheers that filled the temple turned into shouts. The meeting hall was a melting pot of confusion. Devotees run out of the temple, and the heroes chase after them.
The members of the expeditionary force that came out of the dungeon were occupying the temple at high speed with Arthur Gran in the lead.
Sometimes magic flew, but there was no problem. Even if there was a wizard of Maiden Curse, his skill was lower than that of the elite members of the expedition. Moreover, because he avoided contact with the bandaged ones, there was no accident of melting and dying.
Most of them have already gone through a few battles, so there is no need to face them again.
soo much
Yurin slapped the fleeing Shindo in the back of the head with a blunt weapon. A soft, unpleasant feeling is transmitted through the weapon.
Yurin looked at the fallen member and made a displeased expression. Even if it was the troops, it seemed useless to even kill the believers.
“…is it okay for us to do this?”
At those words, Oh Yoon-seong looked around with a cold gaze.
“Don’t be fooled by your appearance, Yurin.”
As Oh Yun-ha swung her hand, the mask of a giant running from the front bangs her head on the ground. Her black bodily fluid oozes through the cracks in her broken head, and a disgusting smell rises.
Whoops! Oh Yun-seong put a spear in the neck of the fallen man. The guy trembled and then limped.
“None of these are civilians.”
The evidence was in front of me. As Arthur Gran walks forward with the light of the Holy Sword, the flesh of the faithful who touched the light melts and collapses, exposing their bones.
“Ku ha ha…! God-!”
Arthur reverently prayed for his consolation at the scream.
At first, I thought it was purified because it was a priest with a corrupted energy disguised as divine power and a military force blessed with it. However, even the followers of the Holy Sword melted their flesh just by touching the light.
This was evidence that even the bodies that made up them needed purification.
Arthur and the men of the temple quickly realized what the reason was.
All of these people.
—Because it was a corpse that was raised by necromancy, not a living human.
‘How could you do such a terrible thing…’
What shocked Arthur was that they were not simply resurrected by necromancy.
They were both intelligent and emotional. This scream in my ears was inaudible except for the fear and pain that came from my heart.
It would be possible because this place is a sanctuary for such a large number of corpses to be alive.
The divine power works miracles. He awakened the corpses who still had a grudge against dying with necromancy and gave them a new life in this sanctuary.
This is an insult and a violation of providence.
That’s why Arthur hated wizards. It’s like you’re proud of the black magic that causes the dead.
Even the fact that he was using the twisted divine power as the driving force for that magic, Arthur felt the rage boiling inside him as a paladin who dedicated himself to the goddess.
Arthur turned his head at the screams coming from next to him. One paladin caught by the believers melted. Under their robes, untied bandages are visible. In the end, I got distracted and got hit.
When the holy sword lit up, Arthur swung it. Whoops! Devotees burn in sacred flames, leaving only robes and ashes.
Arthur looked back and cried.
“Never mind everyone! They’re all enemies!”
The black liquid flowing out of the robe boils. As the holy swords were pierced and burned, black steam rose with a terrifying scream.
This mysterious liquid was the problem. If you do not purify it, it will coalesce into flesh and stick to the ashes around it. And it quickly multiplied to create a human body.
In order to deal with this, of course, it had to be purified with divine power, but unfortunately, no one could use it except Arthur Gran’s Holy Sword.
As the battle in the assembly hall gradually faded away, Arthur looked at the headmaster from among the remains.
The headmaster stood on the podium and watched the members die, but did nothing. He just had a meaningful smile.
“The headmaster of the Maiden Curse.”
Arthur called him, but he didn’t answer.
“I will purify you.”
Arthur and the Paladins headed towards the fallen priest.
It was then that the principal moved for the first time. As he raised his left arm, his sleeve slid down, revealing his forearm. At the same time, the mana load is drawn.
Arthur saw it and cried out quickly.
“It’s magic. Everyone is open…!”
👌👌👌👌 However, a white chain that appeared suddenly bound Arthur and the Paladins together.
‘···Bind!’
it’s sacrilege Arthur felt his body lose strength. And I could see the magic floating on the back of the headmaster.
‘I hope it’s like this…!’
Whoops! A sudden explosion occurred from the teacher.
However, the smoke disappeared and his appearance revealed no scars. His manifested magic disappeared, but it was because a solid barrier wrapped around the Principal.
“Ummm. I can’t do that either.”
For some reason, a calm voice echoed in the assembly hall. A boy with a sharp impression who looked like an aspiring hero was walking with a blue pistol.
“Surge aspiring hero?! Avoid it quickly!”
Arthur saw him and cried out urgently, but it was already too late.
Hwareuk! The teacher fired a spark that appeared at a high speed towards the owner of the voice. However, Seo Ji-han was neither afraid nor did he take a position to avoid it. He just pointed his gun at him.
I pulled the trigger in the slow time.
[Matan – Bing 氷]
A bullet imbued with a chill exploded.
