The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone - The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone chapter 49

＜ 49 : under the name of the evil spirit (1) ＞

“Chief. Is this where the angels are?”

A mountain range located in the southwestern part of the empire.

From a place where rumors of an angel had come down, the wizard Jenny asked Guilford, the mercenary leader.

Hearing Jenny’s story, Guilford had a serious face.

It was because of the stories people had heard while arriving here.

Guilford nodded and answered Jenny’s question.

“Yeah. At least, based on the story so far, it seems that way.”

“By the way, Captain, why is your complexion so bad?”

“Hearing the stories of people who were descending, it makes me think a lot.”

Guilford asked many people for directions to get here.

And they kindly showed us the way.

What struck Guilford, though, was the fact that all the people he met were friendly to the Fallen Angels.

If it was a fallen angel, he was an angel who forsaken his duty and was stained with evil.

There was no way such a being could be doing anything useful to people.

But none of those Guilford encountered had any dissatisfaction with the Fallen Angel.

Rather, there were those who went up carrying fruit to offer to the fallen angel.

While Guilford was struggling with the startled appearance of the people, Jenny, who was next to him, seemed to agree with Guilford’s words.

“Hey, people all seemed to like angels.”

“The problem is that even most of them don’t seem like people who believe in evil spirits.”

“Don’t you have a mark on your face just because you’re a member of the evil god? Isn’t it natural that it’s hard to recognize?”

“There’s no way people who believe in evil spirits are normal.”

After hearing Guilford’s answer, Jenny looked at Guilford with a blank expression.

I sympathized with the idea that a sane person would not obey an evil spirit.

But Guilford’s thoughts seemed too far forward.

Seeing Jenny looking at her with weak eyes, Guilford asked her.

“Why?”

“I thought the manager had a surprisingly naive side.”

“If you don’t have an eye to distinguish people you can trust, it’s hard to survive as a mercenary for a long time.”

“But, well, there are parts of it that I can relate to. Because they all seemed kind.”

At least to the naked eye, they seemed simple and kind.

It was quite difficult to think of such people as being members of the evil gods.

In addition, the relationship between the people descending the mountain seemed to be very harmonious.

It is a peaceful and harmonious denomination of evil spirits.

It was probably not a word that went well with each other.

There was a huge gap between the image of the church that Guilford and Jenny knew.

“Looks like we’re almost there.”

Guilford, who was going up the rough mountain road, looked at the wooden building on the hillside and talked.

Beyond Guilford’s finger pointing.

There, there was an image of a wooden building in the midst of building a skeleton.

It seems that a new building is being erected, and people were busy moving and constructing it.

jerk. jerk.

The footsteps of the mercenaries moving towards the building under construction reverberated.

When Guilford and his party reached the top of the mountain, they discovered something and exclaimed in unison.

“This…….”

“Wow…!”

In front of the cave where many people gather.

There was an angel scattering light and spreading its wings.

A halo that shines brightly above your head.

The pure white wings that spread splendidly behind her back.

He looked like an angel who came down from heaven.

And above all else, the grace of the angel who prayed reverently made everyone in this place doubt Estasia.

“Is that… a fallen angel?”

The person standing in front of the altar was a pure white angel no matter how you looked at it.

No one would ever doubt her identity with the appearance of an angel that looked pure and divine.

Guilford let out a sigh at the appearance of the angel in front of him.

It was because he seemed far from the fallen angel in his head.

Jenny, who was looking at Estasia, asked Guilford with a worried voice.

“Captain. I think something is wrong.”

Guilford, too, sensed that something was firmly wrong.

As he approached the angel praying, his body was full of vitality and the wound began to heal.

This phenomenon was something that Guilford had already experienced once.

Only the high priests of the temple, which can only be met through donations, would show such a miracle.

Even that was less effective than the miracle of the angel in front of him.

Seeing the image of an angel scattering brilliant light and giving miracles, Guilford grabbed Ascalon on his waist and asked.

“Ascalon. Are all the fallen angels like that?”

– “…You look like an ordinary angel. It doesn’t look like you’re completely corrupted.”

“Do you think that makes sense now?”

– “Even so, that doesn’t change the fact that that angel is a member of the evil spirit.”

“……”

– “If you leave that angel alone, the power of the evil spirit will only continue to increase. You just have to do what you have to do as a hero.”

Upon hearing Ascalon’s voice, Guilford frowned.

Did Guilford’s voice rang out while he was praying and his concentration was disturbed?

Estasia, who opened one eye, looked at Guilford and the others.

And 10 seconds after that.

Estasia was astonished to find the sword tied to Guilford’s waist.

“Ah, ah, Ascalon…!”

Estasia got up from her seat and looked back at Ascalon.

Seeing Estasia who got up from her seat with a loud voice, the people who were praying raised their heads all at once.

Their gazes were all looking at Guilford and the others, who were obstructing their prayers.

The mercenaries showed a bewildered look at the eyes of the crowd gathered in an instant.

Jenny pulled Guilford’s collar in a feeling of pressure, but Guilford didn’t care and opened her mouth to Estasia.

“Do you know anything about this sword?”

“I’m an angel… There’s no way I don’t know about Ascalon.”

“Then we’ll talk quickly. I’m Guilford, the leader of the Guilford Mercenary Corps. I’d like to chat with you two for a while.”

Estasia tilted her head at Guilford’s suggestion to have a conversation.

He seems to understand that Guilford is a hero with Ascalon.

But the atmosphere was that I didn’t know why I had to talk to him.

“……Conversation?”

“Yes. If you refuse, I will listen to you even by force.”

“……”

“……”

“I don’t like talking to people I don’t know.”

shudder.

At Estasia’s declaration, Guilford grabbed Ascalon, which he had tied around his waist.

It was to warn that Ascalon could be pulled out if there was a problem.

Guilford, who was ready to draw Ascalon at any time, put an oath toward Estasia.

“I would have said that if I refused, I would listen by force.”

Any angel who knew about Ascalon would have realized the identity of Guilford.

That’s why Guilford chose to put a cover on Estasia.

However, the surrounding situation turned out to be different from what Guilford had expected.

At the same time as Guilford grabbed Ascalon, people around him got up and started to block Guilford.

Guilford glanced at the crowd blocking him with bewildered eyes.

“The naughty mercenary… the angel… there’s nothing he can’t say…!”

Among the crowd in front of Guilford, there was also an old-looking old woman.

She was unable to even move, preventing Guilford from approaching the angel.

Guilford, who was holding Ascalon, waved at the sight of the old woman standing in the way.

Should I draw a sword? should not

Guilford, who was worried, spoke to the old woman.

“You don’t know what that woman is. That woman——.”

“Are you trying to hurt… an angel who heals… an angel who is sick…?”

“That woman was sent down by the evil spirit——.”

“If you want to… harm an angel… kill me first…!”

Seeing the old woman swearing in front of Guilford, he could not tell his story to the end.

That wasn’t the only thing that made Guilford feel weird.

A young child with a branch jumped out from the side of Guilford who was holding Ascalon.

The child picked up a branch and ran towards Guilford.

Guilford’s gaze then looked at the child running towards him.

“Don’t bother our angel!”

The child rushed to Guilford and stabbed him in the side with a stick.

Of course, the branch the child was holding was blocked by Guilford’s armor and broke.

Still, there was a great pain in the corner of Guilford’s heart.

Guilford’s eyes, who were staring at the child, were dyed with confusion.

I’m here to do the hero’s job.

For some reason, I felt like I had become an evil villain rather than a hero.

“Bad man! Don’t bother the angel!”

“…I’m going crazy.”

“Get away from the bad guys! We’ll protect the angels!”

Guilford took a deep breath and removed his hand from Ascalon.

With the sweltering heat, ‘that season’ has finally arrived.

The weather that had gone by the time we left made it feel muggy just by opening the door.

Excessive humidity and temperature.

In addition, the scorching midsummer sun that you face whenever you go out.

Now it is a season where you cannot enjoy comfort without air conditioning.

That was the reason why I turned on the air conditioner and locked myself in my room on the weekend.

“Ah… this is paradise.”

I turned on the air conditioner and laid down on the floor, looking at the ceiling with a satisfied face.

what is true happiness

That’s turning the air conditioner on at full power and rolling around the house.

The cool air conditioner wind brushed my cheeks, giving me the greatest happiness.

Rolling on the floor with cutting-edge cooling technology, I picked up my smartphone to play a game.

“Then now… Let’s see how much karma has accumulated today.”

These days, it was a pleasure to log in to the game every day and check the accumulated karma.

It was thanks to the characters who were busy moving, and the karma was rapidly accumulating day by day.

Kwok.

If you skip the loading screen and enter the game to check the accumulated karma, you can see that the karma level has increased significantly from yesterday.

The total accumulated karma is 1722 karma.

Considering the number of karma that normally went up, it was an unbelievably increased number.

“…what is it. Why is there so much karma?”

Even thinking about the karma I had checked before sleeping, it was showing a change in numerical value that was nearly doubled.

In just one night, he acquired an enormous amount of karma.

It was something I couldn’t quite understand from my playing experience so far.

I looked down the screen and checked the message box at the bottom of the screen.

In the message box that I checked in one day, there were a lot more messages than usual.

Read at noblemtl.net

Moving the scroll and reading the messages one by one, most of the printed messages were about Kueberg.

– [Deep Beast Beast: Kueberg] has harvested life.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma increased by 28.

– [Deep Beast Beast: Kueberg] has harvested life.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma increased by 36.

.

.

.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma increased by 16.

While checking the printed message, I reflexively exclaimed in admiration at the height of the nonsensical message.

While not connected to the game, Kueberg alone received a karma value of nearly 1,000.

Kueberg alone earned an amount close to the karma he had already possessed.

Naturally, most of them were the result of Queberg’s character hunting.

What the hell was Kueberg doing while I was away?

If there was no war, it was incomprehensible.

“Have you ever fought any war?”

If you scroll down to the end of Kueberg’s message like that, the content about ＜Karma’s Balance＞ was written at the bottom.

＜The Balance of Karma＞ is a characteristic that gives a causality penalty whenever I acquire Karma.

It is to adjust the difficulty of the game in proportion to acquiring huge goods.

Of course, he had obtained a decent amount of karma, but there was no way that the causal ratio could not be corrected.

I read the message related to ＜Karma’s Balance＞ written at the bottom of the message box.

– Warning: Karma that is too biased in one direction is more likely to cause ＜Causality Correction＞.

– ＜Balance of Karma＞ is tilted.

– A low level of ＜causality correction＞ occurred.

– Due to ＜Causality Correction＞, [New Spirit: Hieroglyph] has been liberated by one level.

– Causality correction progress: 7%

As I expected, ＜Karma’s Balance＞ performed causality correction for the karma obtained this time.

The causality correction value reached 7%, an increase of 3% compared to the last time.

Just as the cumulative karma increased suddenly, the causality correction value also increased proportionally.

The result of this causality correction was the liberation of [Shingi: Hieroglyph].

It’s a different name from the [Shingi: Ascalon] I read last time, but there was no doubt that the boss monster was one step stronger than before.

“I think I can do it yet… I don’t know what the future holds.”

In a situation that had changed in an instant, I picked up my smartphone and looked at the screen.

It has not been felt much yet, but the difficulty of the game is steadily increasing.

There might come a moment when you will feel frustrated by the difficulty of the game and feel the limit of your growth.

When that time comes, how much money will I be dedicating to this game?

The moment I was staring intently at the screen with such worries.

A small incident occurred on the screen of the smartphone.

“What else is this?”

tyring.

A banner appeared at the bottom of the screen with a light notification sound.

I opened my eyes wide and looked at the new banner.

The banner contained information about the summer event.

summer event.

It was an event that everyone had at least once in any game.

And in this game’s summer event, there was an extraordinary content that I wasn’t expecting at all.

– Limited event! If you use the 10th lottery, you will receive an additional 10th lottery ticket!

– ＜Caution＞ The 10 Draw Ticket can only be picked up once.

It was a 10 draw payback event.

I found the banner and touched the shop button as if possessed by a ghost.
