Chapter 1134 – 1134. Savior of the Academy
Thunder Owl Moka, who became a high-class lightning spirit, flew in the dry sky. Moka’s gaze was shared with me who opened the Spirit Eye.
‘I found the 4th. I picked up stones and made an altar.’
It is a target to amplify the curse of the fetish using the altar. It’s not bad. If I didn’t have Spirit Eye, I might have suffered quite a bit.
‘Mocha. Let’s give that bastard a taste of lightning.’
– Back!
Moka’s intention to leave it alone comes through.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
A large bolt of lightning fell to the ground. The guy who made the altar and tried to curse it is retired and disappears.
‘There are only three left. I couldn’t find Nari Shin… The two also hid well from my eyes. He must have used magic or hid himself in a cave or something.’
There were several places to go.
It was the moment when I took off my feet without hesitation.
Kiyiying.
A sharp sound rings in my ears. Something unpleasant goes through my body. It was a curse.
‘Fuck. Wasn’t the 4th culprit too?’
『Sacred Tree Rope
Rank: S
Immune to curses.
Durability 27/50』
Durability decreased by 2.
My face was wrinkled mercilessly.
A curse was coming from somewhere every 10 minutes. And I lost a total of 10 durability because of this damn curse.
‘If the durability of the rope of the divine tree is reduced by 2 at a time… How strong of a curse are you using? Damn it If it wasn’t for the rope of the sacred tree, it would have been a big problem.’
What’s even more annoying is that I can’t find any trace of the curse with my own eyes.
I took my feet away, trying to hide my nervousness.
•••
“Keuouh!”
The fifth fell off the hill.
All that’s left is Nari Shin and one other person.
『Sacred Tree Rope
Rank: S
Immune to curses.
Durability 22/50』
I checked the durability and turned my head to the side.
Pale gray hair, a petite body, a bandage that covered her pure white skin under her school uniform, and dead red eyes like dynamic eyes.
Nari Shin showed up. Both of her hands wore claws. A weapon with three blades extending like her claws on the back of her black gloved hand. Most powerful of all is her evil spirit attached to her. The head of a female ghost digging into her long hair is pointing at me. It’s like the nonexistent eyes of an evil spirit are glaring at me.
“Senior. Were you nearby? Why did you show up now?”
“My teacher told me to do that.”
She answered my question in a voice without any emotion.
Kim Jeo.
It’s his job. When I’m tired, I finish with Shinnari, my trump card.
‘But what? I’m not tired. Stamina, mana. Everything is in perfect condition.’
Thanks to the rope of the sacred tree, the annoying witch doctors couldn’t do anything to me.
“Senior. Let me make a suggestion.”
“…… ?”
“Abandon the fetishes department and come to the spirit department.”
“No.”
“I know why I am in the casting department. Because of that demon? I will teach you the identity of evil spirits and how to deal with them.”
Identity of evil spirits.
Shin Nari responded to that word. Her eyes got a little bigger.
“… Still can’t. I have to repay her kindness from the teacher.”
“You can just give up here. So, can I help you?”
“No.”
“… You know what? If you miss this opportunity now, we just won’t help. I’m sure you’ll get paid for it. And the price will be quite high.”
“I can’t.”
Shin Na-ri said firmly. He raises her hand as if he is not going to talk to me anymore. Her steel claws shine sharp.
“I gave you a chance, senpai.”
She calls Mocha in her heart.
Mocha, the spirit that has contracted with me, answers my will. The sound of thunder filled the surroundings, and Mocha, who became a thunderbolt, rushed at Shinnari.
Shinnari’s body trembled strangely. She resembled the movements of a puppet handled by an amateur puppeteer. Lightning fell on her. Na-ri Shin narrowly avoided her mocha.
Mocha blew her lightning all over her as if to vent her temper. Current spreads through the ground. Shin Na-ri ignored the electric current that touched her body. Her sense of touch and pain are weaker than others. Perhaps the pain caused by the electric current was a stinging level. The reason it can move is because it uses the power of the curse.
I threw a javelin at her approaching her.
Her 3 spears fly at her in quick succession. Shin Na-ri gracefully dodged her spear like a ballerina dancing on stage.
‘It’s an erratic movement.’
There was no time to shed a laugh. Because she appeared in front of me before I knew it. I pull her sword from her waistband and block her claw.
Caang! Kang!
Shinnari’s attack continues naturally like water flowing.
Left, right, left, left, right.
The feast of attacks where no order was found was instinct itself.
‘Looks like you’re dealing with monsters, not people.’
She stomps and sprints behind her, parrying her attack. It is to distribute her power as much as possible.
‘It is rewarding to raise the Yeongcheon-ryu level to the end. It moves backwards quickly, but my feet don’t twist at all.’
When Shin Na-ri fell, she followed her tenaciously. She uses a tree for cover and moves behind her. A red curse formed on Nari Shin’s fingernails like a sword. The tree is quartered and falls down. I also blocked her attack by raising a blue blade.
As her attacks continued, Nari Shin’s concentration on me increased.
‘Mocha, can you play Thunderbolt?’
Thunderbolt used in Dark Moon. Mocha, a high-level spirit, should be able to use it.
-Keep it!
Mocha’s confident doctor came. My mana runs out. Mocha seems to be doing it right.
Mocha’s gaze is visible to me through her spirit. Lightning gathers and compresses around Mocha floating in the sky.
‘I need a little more time.’
It wouldn’t hurt to show off my skills a little more here.
I gathered mana into her right foot and stepped on her advance. Whoops. Wooden barrels scattered on the ground rose all at once. Shinnari are cut trees.
‘Acceleration, instant.’
Yeongcheon-ryu thunder note.
Dismissal.
My legs roared and moved like lightning. Step on a raised log. Na-ri Shin’s red eyes follow my afterimage. When she completely missed my move, I grabbed her knife and charged. It is a perfect surprise that cannot be avoided.
However, Shin Na-ri avoided it.
As if someone was dragging her, her body bizarrely moved sideways to avoid my blow. The cause is obvious.
‘… Damage to eat evil spirits. ‘
Shin Na-ri’s bewildered eyes turned to me. However, that was only for a moment, and soon her nails counterattacked. I forcibly twisted her shoulder and raised my sword to defend it.
Caang!
Her body flies backwards. I kept my balance in the air and landed stably on the floor.
“Thunderbolt.”
I’ve said it once.
Na-ri Shin tilts her head as if wondering. She was numb. That’s why she didn’t notice the attack prepared from the sky until the end.
Lightning, as thick as a centuries-old tree, fell on her. The light of destruction was short-lived. However, she burned the surroundings and left traces of craters on the ground.
At the center, Nari Shin stood blankly, looking up at the sky. She has no injuries Her clothes are fine too. However, the bandages that wrapped around her body were stained black. The bandage slowly turns to dust and disappears.
Gemma’s Bandage.
A bandage given to Na-Ri Shin by Kim Je-O.
Shin Na-ri, who didn’t like Kim Je-o that much, was the reason she didn’t reject Kim Je-o’s words.
“…… It’s a dungeon, so it doesn’t matter.”
She murmured. The dusty bandages flew like flower petals in the wind. The devil’s mouth is torn. The evil spirit’s hand tightly hugs Shin Na-ri’s pale skin. Evil spirits infiltrate her body. It’s possessed.
Shin Na-ri’s white hair turns black and her skin is stained red like her blood. Her red eyes shimmered with enchantment. Due to her Gemma’s bandage, the curse that has accumulated inside her spreads all over her.
‘I’m out of breath. It’s more than I thought….’
At this level, few of her academy teachers could handle her.
Shinnari’s mouth fell open.
An indescribable voice echoes through the space.
Immediately after, her foot kicked the ground. That alone causes a shockwave.
‘In an instant.’
She was watching, so it wasn’t too late. She grabbed me by the shoulder as she approached me. The rope on her wrist glows intensely.
Shin Na-ri’s possession is released. The evil spirit could not stand the sanctity of her rope and bounced off. Shin Na-ri, who returned to her original form, stared at me with her eyes wide open.
“Ah….”
“Mocha, lightning.”
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Lightning fell on Nari Shin and me. Shin Na-ri’s face twisted. Her retired woman disappeared in front of me. The same goes for the demons she has fallen off.
‘It’s only a temporary drop, so it’s natural….’
Ignoring the electric shock in my body, I looked at the rope. The white rope was dyed black.
『Sacred Tree Rope

The contents of the notification window were wriggling and deformed.

‘As per the strategy.’
Kiyiying.
A curse has come upon me Instead of harming my body, the curse sucked me into the rope.
『The Rope of the Cursed Sacred Tree
Rank: S
Absorb the curse
Absorbed Curse 7/100』
‘Have 7 curses been absorbed? After all, this is no ordinary curse.’
Tongue-in-cheek
The rope of the cursed sacred tree absorbs the owner’s curse instead. It’s not that good. When the curse is full, it becomes a disaster and attacks the owner. This item is useless unless you can handle curses.
‘It’s a top-notch casting. But I don’t need it.’
It’s exciting to be able to handle this properly. And if you present this to Na-Ri Shin, the favorability will rise rapidly.

Absorbed Curse 21/100』
“Found.”
I found the other one hiding in the cave.
Entering the cave, I frowned. The floor of the cave was covered in blood. The pool of blood was ankle-deep. The source of the blood was the ceiling. Blood continued to flow from the mouth of the small skeleton hanging from the ceiling.
And a man below him was bathed in blood as he knelt down. The man with his head down continued to mutter his words without meaning.
‘What is this bastard? There are more than 10 fetishes on the body right now.’
What all these fetishes have in common is that they are the corpse of something. Human hands, monster teeth, creature guts…. All of these things are disgusting.

Absorbed Curse 24/100』
Just being here, the curse is absorbed. I clicked my tongue and raised the knife.
‘Well, okay. Let’s finish quickly.’
Splash splash.
It was time to get closer to see the end. Pood deude deuk. His neck turned 180 degrees and looked at me. Tears of blood flowed from his empty eyes, and his mouth was grotesquely torn and he laughed.
“You….”
Casting and 1st grade. This is the freshman who scared me a lot when I applied for a bet with Kim Je-o.
“Kee-hee, ki-hee-hee-hee!”
The guy laughs His neck stretched like rubber and touched the ceiling of the cave. His empty eyes are looking straight at me.
Clink!!
Space breaks like a mirror. It is Kang Ji-young who emerges from the gap in the broken space. Behind her, embarrassed academy teachers and students peeked out.
Kang Ji-young’s face was distorted with anger. Fast. Blood trickles from her tightly bitten lips.
“Catch Kim Je-oh right now!!”
Her wrath filled with anger even shook the space.
