Chapter 1266 – 1266. The Dark Moon
Cooong. Thud. Thud.
A presence that seems to have raised more than 10 times the size of an adult man approaches through the barrier. Every time the monster took a step, the ground made a loud noise.
It is an ogre-based contaminant. Its skin is a dirty orange color, and his right arm is oversized. If you look closely, you can see that there is something like an iron core embedded in his right arm.
Class 4 contaminant.
He was the one I had to subdue.
“He’s always a terrible guy.”
Max grumbled beside me.
“You don’t have to be by my side. Wait at the town hall with the townsfolk.”
“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t trust you. I want to see that damned man die. I swear I won’t disturb you, so please don’t say go away.”
“…….”
It was annoying to argue with him, so I decided to skip it. As long as it didn’t bother me, it was fine.
I looked at the level 4 contaminant again.
Corruption is a term that refers to those created when waste and things affected by pollutants mutate under the influence of the Dark Moon.
The biggest characteristic of contaminants is that they can become contaminants even if they are not living things. In some cases, corpses, waste, or junk may clump together to form contaminants.
Intelligence is almost non-existent. Even small beasts will be more intelligent than Pollutants. The intelligence of the contaminant can be considered as that of a zombie.
“When did the Class 4 contaminant appear?”
“It first appeared three days ago. At that time, I couldn’t prepare anything… Two villagers have been eaten by him. When dawn came, they went to poop in front of the village as if to show off. … My drinking buddy was mixed in that goddamn shit!”
I wasn’t interested. I asked otherwise.
“How did you deal with him after that?”
“… He’s incredibly strong, but he’s dull and stupid. He lured him out on his bike. He didn’t want to go out of town, so he had to go around town all night long. Then, when the sun rose, they went into the ground.”
“Didn’t you think of getting rid of it yourself?”
“Why didn’t you? Bullets and even bombs did not work. He could only hope for someone else’s help.”
“The strength and durability are incredible. I get it.”
I got on my bike and ran towards the defilement. Max follows me.
“What are you going to do?”
“First… I have to burn it.”
[Fireball]
The fireball flies towards the taint, leaving a red tail embroidering the night sky. The fireball hits the Corruptor’s large body and explodes. Red flames cover the body of the taint.
The taint doesn’t even scream when its body burns. It doesn’t feel the pain itself.
I narrowed my eyes to check the condition of the contaminants. The flame is burning, but it is not able to burn the body of the pollutant at all. The night wind blew, and the flames faded and disappeared.
‘It’s not about fire resistance or magic resistance. It’s not just a material that burns.’
[Torrent]
A mass of water appeared from under my feet and flew towards the taint. Drenches the body of the taint.
[Ice Spear]
The Ice Lance hits the Corruptor’s chest. Cold air explodes and covers the body of the contaminant.
Damn it!
In an instant, the contaminant’s body freezes.
The taint lifted her leg casually and walked forward. The ice shattered and scattered in all directions. No fire, no ice.
“Is there any more powerful magic? Powerful magic that will destroy him at once!”
“Noisy. Do not rush.”
I pulled a stone rolling across the floor in front of me with my telekinesis.
[Material Conversion]
Turns stones into metal and draws a blue magic circle. After adjusting the angle, the magic was activated.
[Rail Gun]
The railgun was fired with a roar. A bullet far beyond the speed of sound pierced the taint’s abdomen. A huge hole opened in the taint’s abdomen.
“Oh, oh oh!”
Max admired the meaningful blow.
On the other hand, I glared at the contaminant with a hard face.
“You hit the goal.”
“Why? It’s as if it’s already over.”
“He didn’t fall. And take a good look at the wound.”
“I am recovering… ?! What an absurd….”
The Corruptor’s punctured abdomen is rapidly recovering. In the next three minutes or so, he will recover without leaving a scar.
“Is there any more powerful magic?!”
“None.”
“…… Are we doomed?”
Leaving the devastated Max behind, he rode his bike and approached the contaminant. As they got closer, they could smell the stench of the pollutants. Thump thump. Pollution approaches me.
‘What he has is definitely the super recovery characteristic.’
It is one of the characteristics that the pollutant has in the original game. The traditional strategy is to use skills and items that lower recovery. If they don’t exist, the answer is only one.
‘Diljjiknu. I just need to destroy it before it recovers with overwhelming firepower.’
The railgun went through. That’s enough.
Three stones that had fallen on the floor soared into the air.
[Material Conversion]
Stones turn into bullets. I then completed 3 magic circles.
[Rail Gun]
3 railguns fire simultaneously.
A dark space flashed, and an aftershock swept across the floor. At the same time, the body of the contaminant is smashed and falls to the ground.
“Oh oh. That’s amazing. Is this the magic of a 5th grade wizard! The commission reward of 5 million credits will be deposited into the promised account!”
Leaving behind the chattering Max, he rummaged through the bodies of the pollutants with his property sword.
“… Do you have a hobby of playing with corpses?”
“I see traces of black magic.”
“…… What do you mean?”
“Look here. There are traces of the dark magic circle inside the intestines.”
“To my eyes, I see nothing but black spots….”
“I have no discernment. Look at these guts The black magic formula was split and carved into each organ. If the spells engraved on these internal organs are compatible, the dark magic circle can be completed.”
“Even if you say so… I’m not a wizard so I don’t know. However, I understand that the Warlock is involved in this. What effect does the black magic circle have?”
“I do not know.”
Max looks at me with dumbfounded eyes.
I told him proudly.
“The intestines were severely damaged. The dark magic circle can only be interpreted if it is intact. From this, we can only guess that there was a dark magic circle.”
No matter how much I was, I couldn’t tell what kind of black magic circle it was just by looking at the traces of the black magic circle.
“Shit. You mean the Warlock is after us? Should I report to Congress and hope the aid comes ASAP….”
“I got interested. As for the warlock, I will pursue it.”
Warlocks probably created the Corruption artificially. Judging from the rough release of the contaminant, it must have been an attempt to accumulate research data. I became interested in the black magician’s research materials and black magic.
As a bonus, it is also an opportunity to kill the warlock and excavate the Dark Hall. The bonus is right in front of you, but you can’t just pass it by.
“Do you know where the warlock is?”
“Didn’t you say The taint came out of the ground and returned to it. The warlock probably set up a workshop in the basement.”
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
“It will be dangerous.”
I put my hands in my jacket pocket. I could feel the overload ampoule. I was thinking of using the overload ampoule in case of emergency.
“I will go anyway.”
“… Why? Why would you risk yourself?”
“It’s not about taking risks, it’s about taking opportunities.”
I was pretty confident.
If you are a 5th grade or higher warlock, there is no reason to set up a workshop in a place like this. It is highly likely that they were sent outside because they could not handle the ogre contamination.
“You go back to the village.”
“… I will. If I follow you any further, I’ll get caught up in my ankles…. I will go back and protect the villagers. And… Thank you.”
“I have no reason to thank you. I only move in the direction that benefits me.”
“Thank you anyway. I just wanted to say thank you.”
Max rode his bike back to town.
I knelt down on the ground and sat down. Place your palms on the ground and use magic.
[Detection]
Waves of mana spread in all directions like ultrasonic waves. Just as I was about to stop searching because I couldn’t feel anything, I felt the existence of an underground space at the western end. Moved right away I got on my bike and ran west.
[Detection]
It felt certain. I felt an empty space in the basement. I also tried to find the location of the warlock… Due to barriers, the exact location could not be determined.
[Dig out]
The ground is hollowed out. After using Dig Out magic 3 more times, I was able to enter the underground space.
The underground space was dark and quiet.
[Light]
I created an orb of light above my head and walked forward. Of course, I didn’t forget to use detection magic.
I proceeded cautiously and then stopped. An invisible wall right in front of me blocked my steps.
‘Benefit army. The barrier itself is of a low level. Level 3 at most.’
I carefully touched the barrier with my hand. While lightly spilling mana, interpret the magic of the barrier.
‘It’s easy. If you properly dig up the slightly twisted spell….’
Jiying.
The barrier was broken. I entered the barrier.
Traces of people began to appear in the aisles where nothing had been seen until now. Footprints of people, garbage that seems to have been abandoned by people, etc.
‘Perhaps they noticed that I was breaking in. They will attack me as soon as they see me, so block them with a barrier… After taking over the space with an electric field….’
It was time to walk while imagining a battle with a black magician. I could smell the blood. Not fresh A putrid smell mixed with it. It seemed like at least three days.
I retook my steps. As you gain combat experience against monsters and humans, you will be able to tell the difference between the smell of monster and human blood to some extent. And now the smell of blood was human.
A pupil came out.
Looking at the books and experiment tools scattered here and there, this seemed to be the center of the warlock’s workshop.
I found a black magician. Dead on the lab table. The corpse’s abdomen was empty. A monster was sitting on the corpse. It is a monster with bat wings, the body of an ape, and the head of a goat.
Not a monster
It was too foreign to be called a monster. It’s something else
Seeing me, the monster turned its goat’s head 180 degrees.
“Human? What? Familiarity is felt. Are you a contractor?”
Sensing his true identity at those words, I let out a light moan.
“It’s raining the devil. You?”
“There is no name to tell the devil.”
“Yes. Won’t you sign a contract with me?”
