The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism - The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism chapter 142

142.

The most advanced were two guys with swords and spears.

They were smiling triumphantly thanks to the confidence that comes from numerical superiority.

But maybe they didn’t think that I would rush in first.

“uh-“

When I quickly closed the distance, the reaction was delayed, as if rather embarrassed.

And that moment was their last.

Dismissed!

Lightning ran through the sword.

Two flashing lights extending from my hand shoot in different directions.

“Cuck!”

The one on the left was cut to pieces by the sword, and the one on the right was pierced and knocked down.

In the blink of an eye, the two demons turned into corpses.

Then, the one with the highest level, who looked like a boss, shouted.

“be careful! Not an ordinary guy!”

The eyes of the other guys changed only when they saw the bodies of the two who collapsed in vain.

The number of Mine still alive is high.

but… What does that mean?

“come! Stop it!”

When I bounced forward again, demons came out from all sides, this time with the one holding the shield at the head.

a shield

It must be the guy who plays the role of a tanker.

I glared at him.

Rare grade shield.

In addition, strange patterns and Chinese characters were engraved on the shield, and there were traces of witchcraft.

It seems to be a pretty good shield with strengthening spells added to the divine power.

Actually, it didn’t really matter to me what kind of ability it had.

I put them in front of me and swung my sword upward.

The sword slashed the air with a trajectory that did not even reach the shield.

There was doubt in the eyes of the demons, but only for that moment.

Soon after, they all became wary when they realized that a liquid like animal saliva had been scattered along the trail.

In particular, the guy with the shield tried to block it by lifting the shield after a moment of trouble.

“what-“

The bastard’s shield, bound by the power of the white tiger, did not move as if nailed to the air.

At this, embarrassment is engraved in his eyes.

And right after that, the liquid hit three or four demons including him.

“Aww!”

The bodily fluid of a giant earthworm that can dissolve rocks erases the human upper body like an eraser and disappears.

The demons were stunned by its deadly power, but they didn’t have time to be surprised.

My sword was still moving at that moment.

Chow!

In an instant, the three demons who were standing like scarecrows were cut down by my sword and fell, and three more demons were turned to ashes by the lightning and flames fired at the same time.

In just a few seconds, less than half of the demons left.

“crazy… !”

Only then did they seem to realize their subject.

Confidence disappears from their eyes, and their momentum is shattered.

The one who rekindled the fading will to fight was, of course, a boss-type man.

“What are you afraid of! You stupid bastards!”

Saying that, he raised his fist.

Like an athlete, with a strong physique, the man’s weapon was his knuckles.

A red aura overflowed from that knuckle.

Epic level novelty.

He seemed to be holding something pretty good for the Mine theme.

“That guy is my opponent. Know how to look for a kid who falls backwards.”

The eyes of the demons who hesitated at those words contained life.

Again, the demons form a siege on all sides of me and slowly narrow it down.

And the guy who shouted stood in front of me in a boxing stance.

The fact that the form looked quite plausible made it seem like he wasn’t a very unlearned guy.

“hmm… ”

The level is also in the mid 40’s.

Definitely stronger than the others.

He’s not really the boss of the organization, but he’s the leader of the action.

then…

I put my sword in front of that guy.

“What are we going to do?”

Even when the man saw me inserting the sword, he didn’t attack right away.

Knowing that I was a formidable enemy, my eccentricity was more vigilant than cynicism.

But I just motioned for him to come without saying anything.

Then the man’s brow furrowed.

“This bastard… !”

Maybe he thought he was looking at me funny, he came running.

The demons surrounding me were a bonus.

Swords, axes, spears, and knuckles.

Numerous cold weapons were directed at me.

But they

“What is this!”

Soon, all at once, they bounced off an invisible wall.

immovable demon.

That skill that reduces damage while not moving.

It was the use of the shield of Jericho, an instrument that uses spiritual power to create a protective shield.

Immediately, he straightened his posture and ferociously stabbed his barbed knuckles horizontally.

Empty!

It bounced off the invisible wall once more.

The guy grinded his teeth.

“Break it out!”

After he shouted that, he unleashed a relentless series of blows on me.

But even so, the defense wall was strong.

From nob le mt l. com

Jericho’s barrier is particularly strong against non-holy attacks.

In addition, with the attack of the one who fell to half as an immovable demon, no matter how hard he threw his fists, the consumption of spiritual power to enter the barrier was extremely small.

Not to mention the other guys’ attacks.

“… … ”

After confirming the synergy of the two defenses, I decided to move on.

I swung my fist without warning at the guy who was frantically smashing down the barrier.

“-!”

Then the creature momentarily stopped attacking and ducked.

An evasion technique in boxing often called weaving.

Thanks to that, my fist only grazed the area around the top of his head, but it didn’t matter.

This too was intentional.

“Such a low-level surprise would work-“

After evading, the man’s voice, which naturally tried to switch to offensive, stopped.

Then, suddenly, his gaze turned to the air, not to me.

As if following something that only his eyes could see.

“uh… ?”

And he lasts such a stupid flurry.

Pooak!

His head exploded and he died.

It was the effect of ＜The One Who Squeezes the Head＞, a skill obtained after exorcising the Duoxini.

A skill that puts an instant-death curse on one’s attacks.

I was wondering how it would activate, was it like this?

“… … ”

When the man was horribly and futilely murdered, the surrounding demons stopped moving.

That was natural.

He was a man who managed to revive his fighting spirit, which had already been nearly broken once.

Since he died so easily, he wouldn’t even think of attacking again.

“doggish… ”

As I stare at them, they swear and back away.

Soon after, he turned his back and started running away.

But I didn’t have to go after the guys who tried to escape through windows and doorways.

Weapons used by their dead comrades rise into the air.

And it was shot to amputate the limbs of the unholy bastards who abandoned their masters.

“Aww!”

The screams continued.

A flying sword cut through his ankle, and a spear shot like a giant arrow pierced his knee.

And the knuckles of the dead man whose head exploded shredded the legs of the two demons like beef jerky.

The 8 demons who were trying to run away were all at once spread on the floor and groaned.

But I didn’t bother killing them.

It was because it reminded me of a request from the management department about the lack of test subjects.

No matter how demonic it is, since you’ve broken your legs, you won’t be able to escape.

Of course, I couldn’t help but die from excessive blood loss or shock death before the police arrested me, but this was enough for me as well.

“then… Shall we go up?”

I passed the groaning demons and climbed the building.

After that, the battle continued only two more times.

What the hell were you doing in this five-story building?

It was because of the unexpectedly large number of demons staying.

However, the composition of the battle was not significantly different from the first.

“hmm… ”

After the final battle in the exceptionally large conference room on the 5th floor.

I stared indifferently at the blood and flesh strewn across the broken desk.

The number of demons gathered in this building was large, but not strong at all.

The tradition to use was also unattractive.

They are not opponents of regular institutions such as heretics or the apostate sect, but rather a group of idiots.

Does the cult really have anything to do with these guys?

I had such a question, but the navigation of the quest clearly pointed to the remaining mines.

“You guys… ! Where did you come from!”

One of the only two remaining demons shouted at me.

One fat guy, and on the other hand, a slim, snake-like guy.

Perhaps they knew about Hwarang’s exorcist, they were the highlighted demons.

When I didn’t answer, the pig continued.

“How dare you raid during the talks? I don’t know where I belong, but I will never forgive you-“

it’s a talk

Somehow, I thought there were too many Mine.

It looked like they had a meeting or something.

But because it didn’t really matter.

“Shut up.”

I kicked him in the face.

It was only then that the guy who flipped over making a pig-picking sound became quiet.

Then, the snake-like demon next to him opened his mouth.

“… What do you want?”

The snake asked if he felt anything from killing them all and leaving the two alive.

Maybe the snake’s head is spinning faster than that upside-down pig?

Having judged that, I slowly opened my mouth to him.

“information.”

“What do you want to know?”

“Isn’t that Park Seong-deok?”

At my words, he tilted his head.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth with a hard face.

“… I do not know. what do you mean all of a sudden? Did the guy named Park Seong-deok send you?”

Looking at his words and expressions that were so natural, I laughed inwardly.

Is it really because of the magic?

He was very good at lying.

If it wasn’t for the skill, I might have been tricked.

With that thought in mind, I then turned my gaze to the pig.

“Then what about you?”

“I don’t know that guy!”

The pig, who was lying on the floor and holding his nose, answered.

It was more clumsy than that snake-like guy, but this was a lie too.

As the quest highlights, both of these guys have information.

But seeing them lie even in this situation, it meant that they had no intention of telling the truth unless they saw their own blood.

then… I can’t help it either.

“Then let’s do this.”

Waving my sword, I approached the fallen pig.

Then the pig tried to back away, but there was just a wall.

I kicked the pig again, knocked it to the floor, and stepped on its mouth.

And looked in the direction of the snake.

“Because I can tell the difference between true and false?”

“what?”

“Don’t ask, listen. Anyway, I have that ability, so I can spot right away when you’re lying.

“… … ”

“So from now on if you lie, I’m going to cut off this pig’s finger.”

At those words, the pig under my feet twisted and went mad.

Of course, the radiance quickly died down as the blade of the sword touched its neck.

I immediately asked the snake.

“Park Seong-deok, do you really not know?”

Then the snake answered.

And since that was a lie, just like my warning, the pig’s finger flew off.

The pig went berserk again, and this time it didn’t stop until it was punched in the pit of the stomach.

after a while like that.

The same process was repeated only 10 times.

“… I have no fingers to cut.”

I said with a troubled face.

The pig was almost crying now.

From nob le mt l. com

Just as he was resentful of me, he was shooting that resentful gaze at the snake as well.

However, the snake didn’t care about this and rather criticized me.

“Work on it! How long are you going to keep playing this joke? We have nothing to do with him!”

as if he was embarrassed.

The snake roared emotionally as if I was holding a stern person.

It was an acting like a born con artist.

however… Watching that performance is over now.

I took my foot off the pig’s mouth.

Then the pig let out a weak groan, and I approached the snake this time.

“What are you trying to do!”

“What do you mean, it’s a player change.”

“what-“

I kicked the snake

And just like the pig before, he closed his mouth with his foot and looked at the pig.

“Are you sick?”

“this… cubs… !”

The pig groaned with tears in its eyes.

He stared into space, just gritted his teeth and desperately endured the pain.

“don’t worry. now it’s your turn I will give you a chance to avenge yourself.”

The pig’s gaze, which had been frowning at my words, finally turned to me.

What dwells within it is a feeble expectation.

And I told him the words as expected.

“However, you are against the rules. If you tell the truth to my question, I will cut off your little finger.”

At my words, the snake went mad this time.

After stepping on the snake once, I asked the pig a question.

“Are you not Park Seong-deok?”

Then the pig let out a fishy laugh.

* * *

After a while.

Successfully finding clues, I was speeding down the road in a vehicle.

In conclusion, the group of demons had little to do with the cult.

The only connection between them and the cult is that they secretly transported Park Seong-deok, who was a spy for Hwarang at the time, to a certain location.

It seemed that the Mine organization had been commissioned to work by the cult and executed it.

However, it was the paper company that requested Mine to do the work, and even Mine did not know its identity.

Also, according to the words of the police chief who received my report, it seems that it will take time to dig up the back.

So, I decided to leave the investigation on this to the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency and Chairman Lee Seong-min, and head to the place where Park Seong-deok had moved.

“Is this it?”

The destination was a mountain near Unjangsan Mountain in Jeollabuk-do.

According to the words of the Pig Mine who told me about this place, it was a place where there was nothing.

“Why were you there? I don’t know. It was just a mountain. Rather, since this is real, cut off that little finger.”

Even then I knew it was the truth.

When I came here, it was indeed what he said.

All I can see is a broken road.

There was not even a common telephone pole to be seen around.

however… The arrow of the quest is still pointing into the mountain.

Looks like I’ll have to walk a bit here.

“Eh… ”

Now I was familiar with it, but I recklessly climbed the disgusting mountain road by following the arrow.

That time when I was going up and down the mountain road for such a long time.

“hmm?”

In the dense greenery, I could barely see artifacts other than trees or grass.

that… High walls and large gates.

And the name of the artifact was inscribed on a large stele at the entrance.

Joy Monastery.

It was a strange name that did not go well with the dreary atmosphere of the forest.
