81 – The Under-Beast Infidelity

There may be a slight, bloody expression.

************************************************ *******************************************

A remote mountain, about three to four hours away from Sacree Village.

I was rapidly climbing the mountain, jumping from tree to tree.

Thanks to the fact that it advances several meters with each step, it is a speed that even modern professional mountaineers cannot match.

In less than 10 minutes, we arrived at the halfway point of the mountain.

‘I think Baegi’s location is around here…….’

I paused for a moment and looked at where the ‘string’ connected to my soul stretched.

Thanks to Baekmyeon’s gift, [Master/Jong], Baekmyeon and I can know each other’s location and share thoughts no matter how far apart we are.

And I used that effect to ask Baekmyeon to follow the signal of the communication magic on Pocari’s body and find their base.

Baekmyeon successfully fulfilled my request.

… Beep!

From above my head as I looked around, I heard the faint cry of a bird.

When I cast my eyes there, I saw a ‘brown’ baby bird standing there, clutching a branch in its short claws, blending in well enough to be mistaken for a part of a tree at first glance.

“It’s a great protective color, White.”

“Beep ♪”

As I smiled and praised him as if he was proud of himself, Baekmyeon let out a pleasant cry as it moved to my shoulder on top of a branch.

I stroked the white face and moved my gaze to the place where the white face was watching intently until just now.

‘… Is it that cave? The place where the Demonic Church is located nearby.’

A cave so small that even three adult men could cover the entrance of the cave, barely visible through the thick trees.

Unless you knew in advance that there was a cave here, it was so small that even people with good eyes could hardly find it.

‘Hmm…. Looks like there are no sentries. Is it because it would be easier to find if left standing?’

I looked around and confirmed that there were no followers of the Demonic Church around me, and then cautiously walked to the front of the cave.

I quietly opened my .

‘… I knew it. Even if there are no sentries, we have prepared for intruders.’

When I opened the , I began to clearly see the barrier of black magic installed at the entrance of the cave that had been invisible until just now.

In order to find out the efficacy of the black barrier, I studied the magic barrier formation in detail.

‘Um…. When an intruder comes into contact with the barrier, it gives a curse that inflicts mental damage and a curse that lowers physical abilities, and sends a signal to the inside….’

In addition, since the barrier is mixed with the evil attribute, wild animals will feel uncomfortable and won’t even approach the cave.

After I nodded slightly.

Took-

I stretched out my hand without hesitation and touched the barrier.

Geeing—!

As soon as it came into contact with me, the mana began to stir in an instant.

In accordance with the magic formula that forms the barrier, the moment it tries to exert its efficacy.

‘Hmm, that’s easier than I thought.’

Manipulating magical powers interfered with the barriers, and easily took control of the barriers.

‘If you don’t know if the caster is using the magic himself, it’s easy to steal this kind of magic before it’s even activated…. No, I wonder if I can do the former as well?’

If other wizards hear, ‘Don’t f*ck! If that’s possible, why would there be installation magic?! .

Unaware of such a fact, I lightly manipulated my magic to create a gap in the barrier, pass through the gap, and step into a dark cave.

******

[Replace the gift! [Light weight (C)] ＞ [Cognitive impairment (C+)]]

[ Is activated! [Cognitive impairment (C+)] ＞ (B-)]

After entering the cave, I first replaced the gift with [Cognitive Impairment], And then raised the gift’s grade with .

At the current level of [Cognitive impairment], People whose senses are below a certain level won’t even be conscious even if I pass in front of them.

Tak-

After that, I formed dozens of microscopic hooks on the soles of my shoes and hung them upside down from the ceiling of the cave.

‘Now, let’s go.’

Imitating Nice’s silent, stealthy steps, I quickly but quietly ran up the ceiling of the cave.

Around the time I ran like that for about 5 minutes.

Hwaruk-

I started to see signs of human touch, like torches hanging here and there, and the inside of the cave gradually began to widen.

‘Is it an extension of the original natural cave? Hmm? This… ‘

As I looked through the passageway, which was so straight that it could only be said to have been entirely man-made, I sensed something approaching this way.

Hidden in the thick shadows cast by the blazing torches.

Turb-Turb-

As I waited with bated breath, I saw two figures walking from the other side.

Walking while looking around with spears in both hands… Two men and women in black robes.

The man and woman looked like ordinary villagers you would see in the village, but…….

The turbid magic power sensed from them and the pair of devil horns drawn on their robes indicated that they were members of the Demonic Church.

‘A pair of horns…. Then it must be a low-ranking believer.’

I narrowed my eyes as I recalled the information about the Demonic Church written in the strategy guide.

As for the multiple pairs of devil’s horns, which can be said to be the symbol of the Demonic Church, the more high-ranking followers in the church, the more pairs of horns can be engraved on them.

An apprentice follower has one horn, a low rank follower has one pair of horns, and a junior follower has two pairs of horns…… In this way.

‘… It was written in the strategy guide that the average skill of a low-level follower is about that of a ‘Magical Awakener’.’

The approximate strength of those people, as measured by my senses, is roughly that of the lowest-ranking students at Valhalla Academy.

With that level of skill, you will never find me while [Cognitive Impairment] Is active.

So it would be nice to just ignore it and sneak past…….

‘Still, it’d be better to reduce the unknown variables, so let’s take them down lightly and restrain them.’

Sureuk-

I draped an invisible magic thread around the necks of the two followers passing right under me and gently attached them to their necks.

-Fajik!

“Ouch…”

“Ugh…”

I poured infinity brain magic into the sorcerer and quietly passed out.

‘Then next….’

I quietly descended from the ceiling and put my hand on the back of a believer who was fainting and unable to resist. Inject your magic——

Jizzijik-

──The mana rod in his body was torn to shreds.

‘If you do this, these guys won’t have to use magic ‘forever’ in the future.’

If you ask a person of the minimum bishop level who can use the highest level of divine magic, or if it is not a legendary potion like an elixir, they will not be able to use magic forever.

‘And there’s no way a low-ranking follower could get something like that.’

I bound the two followers who couldn’t even scream and wriggled in pain from the damage to the mana rod with a strong wire pulled from the ‘Weapon Eater’ in their right hand. I threw it roughly in the corner of the shadowy cave.

It took about 5 seconds to reach this point.

I nodded in satisfaction. I climbed up to the ceiling again and quickly ran into the cave.

******

As we proceeded to the back of the cave, we had sorted out the followers patrolling in the same way as before about three or four times.

The end of the cave finally began to appear.

‘According to the Function, there seems to be a huge cavity. …… I feel very bad for some reason. Very unpleasant…….’

While slightly frowning at the feeling of displeasure in my chest, I continued to advance toward the end of the cave without stopping.

‘───What is this?’

I looked ahead with a bewildered expression at the manifestation of the Terrible hell Unfolding before my eyes.

The shape of the large cavity visible in the field of vision was indeed——’Red’.

Looking here or there with trembling eyes, the only thing that caught my eye was——Only bright red.

At one time, the redness of life that must have roamed around in the owner’s body——It jumped out of the owner and formed a lake of red, painting the inside of the cavity flawlessly.

The eye that once told its owner the beauty of the world——Like worthless pebbles, it sank to the bottom of the red lake, or was trampled and crushed by the fanatics of the Demonic Cult.

At one time, the organs that were quietly doing their own thing inside their owner——Forcibly taken out by fanatics, they were looking outside, which they didn’t want to do.

And the people who were the owners of all of that had a distorted look on their faces as if they had suffered all the pain in the world until they died──

──At the corner of the Red Lake, an ‘island of rotting corpses’ was forming.

‘…… Whoops!’

Recognizing that, it began to sting my nasal passages——the intense Blood scent That made me shudder, and the foul stench emitted by rotting pork outside in the summer, condensed to dozens of times its concentration. It’s like, Terrible intoxication.

The stench, which seemed to have an adverse effect just by touching the skin, ruthlessly tormented my senses, which had become so sensitive that it would make me sorry to compare it to the previous world.

And above all, what is unbearable is that it spreads throughout the cavity——

‘This… It’s so cruel… !!!’

──It was terribly concentrated ‘magic power with negative thoughts’.

Pain. Despair. Anger. Resentment. Woe. Fear. Wailing. Hatred. Frustration……….

The negative thoughts emitted by those who were forcibly brought here, suffered all kinds of torture by fanatics and died painfully, colored the magic power that filled the cavity.

My overwhelming power of detecting magical power read the negative thoughts embedded in that magical power, the emotions people were feeling right before their death, more clearly than anyone else.

To the point where he resents his own talent for the first time since coming to this world.

Kadudeuk-

I saw right in front of my eyes the dignity of people and life being trampled on, insulted, and eventually treated as worthless garbage.

I could feel the passion welling up in the depths of my heart that even

I’d rather have organ traffickers than them.

Even if they’re for sale, they’ll treat the dead with respect.

Man-eating beasts would be better than them.

Beasts will at least eat the dead and make them their own flesh and blood.

Those thoughts that popped into my mind were very absurd for a person with a modern sense of morality, but….

——The sight in front of me was such a horrifying scene that it made me think of that.

I know why those fanatics do such terrible things.

The more the magical power of negative thoughts in the world increases, the faster their gods will ‘regain their strength’. This is probably because it accelerates the moment when the seals of the five heroes imprisoning the Demon God are ‘destroyed’.

‘Even so! This, this… ! Really, what would you do to a person!? No matter how blinded by fanaticism… ! Are you really going to do something to someone like yourself? !!!’

From noble mtl dot com

I have never experienced a murderer. And as a modern man, it is natural.

That’s why I may have harbored a reluctance to kill even the enemy demon cultists.

… No, it must have been. It was said that he made the demonists he met so far incapacitated, but he did not kill them.

But, at this moment──

‘Those guys aren’t human, they’re beasts—no, they’re cheating below beasts!’

──I stopped thinking of them as people.

And as if to encourage my determination.

In my eyes, a cold life began to drift——

“No, Eh ─── !!!!!!”

──The girl who was locked in an iron cage in the middle of the cavity, screaming in sorrow, reflected.
