chapter 355
355 – Bats Are Contractless
“How can you judge people? By the standards you arbitrarily set, so many more people have suffered, so can you afford to pay the price even if you die?”
“Ugh- I, I am a hero…!”
Seogeo-eok-!
“Quaa!!”
I cut off all of the guy’s arms and legs and poured potion into the severed sections.
I also added a few drops of Irmana water to the mouth of the guy who was showing signs of shock due to excessive bleeding.
‘Space…Is unraveling.’
The space, which had been blurry like a watercolor painting, became clearer, and a doll appeared hanging on the wall, still in pain.
‘If I kill this bastard, the spell will be lifted…’
I was a little worried because sometimes the ability itself is not released even if the person who displays the ability dies.
After a while, the guy finally came to his senses, looked at me, and with difficulty opened his mouth.
“What on earth are you…” “What are you doing…” “What are you?”
It screamed bitterly, its neck wrapped around its tail, which was half as thick as when it was a skeleton.
“Well, it’s my identity… I’m learning about it little by little.”
“What…?”
“Rather than that, let me ask you one thing. Is there a way to get rid of those people who are under that spell?”
I lightly pressed my tail against his neck and asked, and he answered in tears with tears in his eyes.
“… Well, if you tell me that, you’ll kill me.
“Well, why me? I am a hero who works behind the scenes just like you. I came here to liberate people, not to kill you.”
“··· Is this really true?”
“Okay then.”
“Well, then, let’s start with the pledge-“
“Ah, that damn oath is good. You also swear that you will not use tricks and remove the spell. Instead, you must remove everything within 25 minutes..”
“25 minutes? Oh, I understand. I understand, so let’s make a clear pledge!”
I promised not to kill him, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Gori, come out.”
I called in a unit of ‘Gori’ minions and moved the numerous dolls hanging on the wall to the side of him one by one.
And when the guy reached out to the pile of dolls and chanted a short spell, the dozens of dolls slowly became smaller, and at one point, only dozens of pieces of cloth were left on the floor.
‘It’s easier to unlock than you think, right? I think the spell has been lifted. Hmm…’
You could tell just by looking at the Vinci Monk’s magic power that it rapidly decreased as each doll was released.
At that time, I briefly made eye contact with the doll whose spell had been lifted, and the woman looked very thrilled to be freed from the long pain.
[Thank you… I will never forget you. My benefactor.]
‘…’
“Hurry up. It doesn’t seem like any magic power is being consumed.”
“Well, my abilities are dropping because I lost connection with the doll!”
“Ai, really. Should I care about your abilities being lowered? Bring someone else and kill me?”
“Sorry, sorry…”
I glared at him with flames in his eyes, and after that he did not utter a single word and just focused on removing the spell.
At first, he unlocked twenty at a time, and as if he got the hang of it, he gradually increased the number.
In the end, when [Mimicking] Had 10 minutes remaining, all the dolls were released from the spell and disappeared from space.
‘I actually solved it all in less than 20 minutes. Why are there all these guys?’
Even though I don’t know much about witchcraft, this guy was full of genius.
“Hmm. It’s refreshing to see the doll disappear. How on earth did they create such a large space?”
“Ugh… My collection…”
The guy was busy sniffling sadly despite my question.
After a while, the pledge that had fallen next to him dispersed into specks of light and disappeared.
The contract has been fully fulfilled.
I checked it and immediately sent a signal to ‘Gori’.
‘The contract does not include minions.’
After experiencing that Yeonhui was not affected by the oath in Nargul’s dungeon, the minion had also confirmed in his own time that it was valid.
Para la la la rock-
“Huh?! Ahhh! What are these bats?! Hey, hey! This is against the oath – aaH!”
Thirty hooked bats landed on the ground, stuck their claws into the Vinci Monk’s body his, and hastily absorbed his blood and magical power his.
Then, Vinci’s body shrunk in an instant, and after a few minutes, only his elongated shell was left behind, making it impossible to recognize that he was even a human being.
– The hidden great villain [Crooked Hero Vinci Monk] Has been defeated!
– The achievement [Purifier of the Korean Peninsula] Is activated.
– Acquired the skill [Evil Demon Master]!
– The achievement [Pioneer] Is activated.
– All abilities increase by 1.
– Gain strong magic resistance.
“Hey – I finally got this. Skills and magic resistance. The rewards are great. But why isn’t my level going up? I killed a great villain…”
Still, it was clear that I had gained quite a bit of experience, so I first read the update on the achievement I had obtained after killing Nam Yong-seok.
—-
【Purifier of the Korean Peninsula】
– Defeat the ‘great villains’ who are bringing great chaos to this country, and retrieve their special abilities!
[Treatment List]
1. Nam Yong-seok, head of the Black Church (completed)
2. Crooked Hero Vinci Monk
Skill: Sanctuary of Boundaries
– Create your own small space on the border between reality and unreality.
Acquisition conditions: Defeat the ‘Great Villain’.
—-
“My own little space… That’s a bit tempting.”
If I obtain [Border Sanctuary], Will I be able to set various abilities in my space like the Vinci monk?
Of course, it ended without me being able to fully see his abilities, but just distracting my senses and preventing me from going out was great.
“For now, that’s a problem for later, but now I’m curious about this.”
Nam Yong-seok’s skills recovered after defeating the great villain.
[Eummagwijang]
– Creates an intangible space to raise evil spirits.
– The created aviary is filled with powerful aphrodisiac ingredients.
– A humanoid creature that drinks the aphrodisiac scent for an hour in the breeding space becomes a demon that absolutely obeys the caster’s commands.
– The evil fiend is given an additional 1% of the caster’s physical abilities in addition to the basic abilities.
– The caster’s physical abilities (strength, agility, stamina) increase by 1 for each demon possessed.
– Shadow 0/10
“Hmm, it’s a good ability. But is it separate from the ability to command minions? I thought it would be integrated.”
Although it is only a small amount of additional abilities, being able to make a living person your subordinate is an incredible skill.
Of course, the condition of immobilizing him for an hour is not easy, but once you succeed, you will have a servant that you can do as you please.
It is on a different level from a ‘ring’ that requires detailed instructions.
“I’d like to take a test, but um… I don’t know, so why don’t I try it with Yeonhee?”
It seems like it will never happen, but if it does, everything I worry about will disappear at once. The restriction of only being able to fall within the range of the senses may be lifted.
“If Yeonhee doesn’t work… Ham Eun-young or Noh Ha-yoon? No… I’m sure they both have something to protect themselves. Should I just try a complete stranger?”
However, if it is not released as desired, the evil devil’s ability, which can currently support up to 10 people, will become a waste.
“There’s no need to rush. Well, let’s think about the target slowly.”
I felt that Vinci monk’s space had completely disappeared, and I sat on the sofa in the living room with [Stealth] Activated.
There were no security devices at home, but I should be careful not to make myself tired later.
‘It’s so inconvenient that I can’t go back right away.’
I felt uncomfortable not being able to return to my original position until the [Mimicry] Was resolved.
Of course, in the previous battle, I took advantage of leaving the space without expressing my will, but this is something I hope to improve in my upcoming job change.
‘No… Is this an ability that can be upgraded by changing jobs? It might be quicker to ask Tiny…’
But there was no way to meet the golden mimic, so all I could think about was.
I was trying to recover, wondering if there was a way to do better in this battle during the remaining time.
The voices that were slowly coming from inside my head grew louder and became impossible to ignore.
Thank you thank you. I will never forget, etc.
Most of the voices were expressions of gratitude from people who had been liberated from the Vinci monks.
It’s not that he recognizes me, but he seems to vaguely feel that someone helped him. I don’t know why I hear this.
“… Hmm- well, it’s somewhat rewarding.”
After listening to people’s voices like background music for a while, I found myself back in the front yard of my house with my [Mimicry] Gone.
Warak-
“Ha-I was worried. I was surprised when he came for a moment and then left right away!”
After returning from the first mimicry, I made eye contact with Yeonhui, but I only waved my hand briefly and disappeared to attack the Vinci Monk.
Seu-eu-seu-
As I was pulling her head and gently hugging her and stroking her, I felt the eyes of the summons looking at me from behind.
‘Why are you staring at me like that?’
I couldn’t tell what they were thinking, but they seemed a little envious.
“Ilwol! Me, me. Now we can combine werewolves too!”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
For some reason, the atmosphere in the front yard was a bit gloomy, and there was one guy who could be called a monster, 32 werewolves combined into one, staring intently at me.
‘Wow… That thing looks really strong.’
“Krrrr…”
“Just…”
A strange tension flows for a moment, and the guy strides over and sends a silent look towards Yeonhee.
“What? No! I have to go into the dungeon early tomorrow.”
“Puru-“
Even though Yeonhee said no, the guy persistently shook Yeonhee’s arm.
Still, not rushing in recklessly was actually better than being an individual entity.
‘I think it would be better to combine this guy. The size of the body is not much different from before the merger…’
Considering that the orcs and lizardmen combined to grow into a 4-meter-tall man, it was safe to say that Rakan’s appearance changed little.
‘Instead, the color of the fur changed.’
A strand of silver hair was visible here and there, and it seemed to resemble the beings called the moon race.
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“Huh? Ilwol and you too? Are you really going to fight?”
Nod-
‘You can sleep first.’
When I said that through Ran, Yeonhee made a pouty expression and said she would absolutely watch it until the end.
‘… I’m upset. What should I have said?’
I hope you understand that I am still a skeleton that is not good at communicating.
A combined werewolf who wanted a fight with me.
He was born by combining Rakan, so let’s call him ‘Alpha Rakan’.
“Uh, okay. I shouldn’t fight too aggressively?”
“Purhuh!”
Alpha Rakan expressed his satisfaction by clearly exposing his fangs that looked like they could tear apart anything.
‘I like it a lot. Fighting with me is such a big deal.’
