The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism - The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism chapter 79

79.

“… … ”

I glanced at the tombstone erected at the entrance of the cave.

It was the first pattern I had ever seen engraved there.

It looked like a mix of Chinese and Arabic, and of course I couldn’t figure out what it meant.

However, the fact that such a thing was placed, after all, did this place have some meaning for cultists?

“… It’s a strange place.”

“That’s what I mean.”

Na Ha-jeong and Han Sung-min said so.

As they said, the atmosphere in the cave was unusual.

Of course, if you look at the outside, it was nothing more than an ordinary cave.

Just walls and ceilings made of dirt and rocks, and even the rough floor.

Also, it is nowhere to be seen as a light source.

At best, all you can see are small stone lanterns lined up along the cave.

There was no light in the stone lantern either.

But even so, the inside of the cave was bright.

It was to the extent that it was not difficult to see the stone beak under his feet and avoid it.

As if to warn us of something, it just felt like the air was glowing and guiding us inward.

“Maybe this was the hideout of the cultists?”

“Perhaps.”

That’s how I answered Na Ha-jung’s question.

This cave leads inward in a straight line.

From nob le mt l. com

Judging from the fact that there was even a light on, it was highly likely that this was a passageway used by cults.

Above all, the arrow also points in this direction.

It looks like there is something inside.

“… … ”

So I looked around.

But nothing is visible yet.

There were so many monsters on the cliff.

Indeed, the inside was quiet as if a rat had died.

Also, there were no traps in sight, so we just kept our guard and walked forward.

In my experience, there is usually a boss or something like this.

“Hey, there is something.”

And soon, my expectations came true.

After a short cave, a wide cavity unfolded.

And in the middle of that joint.

There was something huge.

We hid inside the cave and looked towards it.

“… come?”

It was a giant that could only be seen that way.

He is over 2 meters tall just sitting on the floor.

So the total height is probably close to 5 meters.

There, on one side, there were two huge greatswords suitable for his height.

Come to use the sword.

I’ve dealt with it before, but it wasn’t that easy.

“Are you coming? Wouldn’t that be it?”

“Because ogres have a European tradition.”

Han Seong-min and Na Ha-jung reacted to my words.

Fortunately, it seemed that they understood it not as an ogre from another world, but as an ogre in an existing tradition.

“Then what do you think of that, everyone?”

“How am I supposed to know that?”

Han Seong-min, who did not expect much, did not know anything as expected.

Only Na Ha-jung stared at the giant and continued talking.

“Isn’t it an enemy of the underground country?”

“What is it?”

In response to my question, she gave an explanation.

The Underground Kingdom Daejeon is a nine-headed giant who appears in folk tales and is a monster who appears as a powerful villain in folk tales.

In folktales, the enemy of the underworld often appears on the surface and kidnaps women.

A husband who has his wife stolen by an underground enemy goes down to the underworld to save her.

However, the story is that the wife falls for the giant and helps the giant, not the husband, and the husband defeats the giant with the help of another kidnapped woman.

“According to the tradition, the enemy of the Underground State is basically a strong monster. It is said to have magical powers as well as strength, and it even has powerful regenerative powers.”

I nodded my head at Na Ha-jung’s words.

I didn’t know anything else, but I had no choice but to agree that it was basically a strong monster.

The level of the underground enemy that I can see is 60.

It was a higher level than anyone else here.

“What exactly is supernatural power?”

“I don’t know exactly. However, in the folklore, the severed head moves on its own, and it is said that it is regenerated by attaching it to the neck. In another story, it is said that he fought a battle with Hong Gil-dong, so there is a possibility that he will use witchcraft.”

Is it like magic?

So after all, a nine-headed magic ogre with twin swords?

There is no such thing as a terrible hybrid.

“however… It doesn’t look like it has nine heads.”

The giant is sitting with its back to us.

Even though it was a little far away, there was no way I wouldn’t notice it from this side if my head was running that much.

If you see a hydra from 100 meters away, would it just look like a cobra?

“This has been revealed in modern times, but having nine heads is a kind of metaphor.”

“Metaphor?”

“Nine heads are a state in which the human body is divided into nine parts. That is, the head, the hands, the chest, the lower abdomen, the two thighs, and the feet.”

But there is a legend that it flies freely and regenerates even if cut?

“therefore… Are you saying I won’t die even if I’m cut?”

“It’s like that.”

Indeed, it was a tricky foe.

Of course, it was fortunate that I had the means to prevent regeneration, but the fact that I could control my body with something like telekinesis and mystic powers were taken.

If so, what should I do?

It looks like he’s just sitting still.

Let’s just use the tradition of Kinnara and return with silence.

That was the moment when I came up with that idea.

“Sniff!”

There was a reaction from the giants.

He got up from his seat as if he had just woken up and turned his head left and right.

like looking for something.

And that gaze soon goes to the cave where we are hiding.

“It looks like you already noticed this.”

It was as Han Sung-min said.

Before he knew it, he was already aware of our existence.

and,

“uuu!”

The enemy of the Underground State screamed and raised his greatsword and struck the ground.

Then the cave we were in started to collapse from the entrance.

It was not a common phenomenon.

So, is this also part of the supernatural power?

“Out at once!”

So we immediately jumped out to the joint where the giants lined up.

At the same time, the cave completely collapses and the exit disappears.

The exit door… behind the giant.

There was a small iron door leading further inward.

That means he was playing the role of a gatekeeper here from the beginning.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

On the other hand, the enemy of the underground kingdom who stood in the same space as us laughed out loud at what was so good.

It seemed that the battle was inevitable.

In response, I set the sword on fire, and Na Ha-jeong and Han Sung-min also entered a combat posture.

The beginning of the battle was Naha Town.

Instead of the pistol she usually used, she took out the rifle that was on her back.

That familiar look made me frown on my own without realizing it.

That’s K-2.

Na Ha-jeong held it in a perfect posture like a textbook, and then pulled the trigger.

A torrent of 5.56mm bullets hit the giant’s head with loud gunfire.

“Big!”

However, the defense of the enemy of the underground country was not easy.

The first bullet, aimed precisely at the forehead, was lodged in it, but it could not be hoped for penetration.

Above all, the difference in size from the giant’s body was large.

Even bullets that are lethal to humans are difficult to pierce the skull of a running elephant.

So, Naha-jung’s shooting only aroused the giant’s wrath.

“aaa!”

The guy screamed and charged.

Han Seong-min and I stand in the way.

First, Sungmin Han touched the giant.

He tried to hit the giant’s greatsword with the baseball bat in his hand.

“Whoops!”

Unable to withstand the force, it flew backwards.

Fortunately, Han Seong-min can change his body like steel, so the injuries won’t be severe, but the difference in strength between them was quite large.

Is it that much even after using Arhat tradition?

Han Seong-min’s physical strength was not much different from mine.

Melee combat isn’t that easy.

But I didn’t have time to think long.

Right after Han Seong-min flew away.

With the sound of thumping footsteps, the giant’s twin swords rushed in front of my eyes.

It is impossible to cut out.

If so, I had no choice but to avoid it.

Hung-

A huge steel sword passes by my ear.

It was to read the trajectory of the sword attacking in the shape of an X and evade between them.

So I dug under the giant,

“Guardian Strike!”

Using his skill, he cut off his ankle with a sword.

OK,

“Aagh!”

With a scream, the giant stopped charging and retreated.

The black blood of the giant that stained the floor.

The attack was successful, but I looked at the hand holding the sword.

My hands were tingling.

It was because the leather of the enemy of the Underground State was harder than expected.

Even though I used a skill that partially ignored my defense, it was this much.

It was said that a sword alone could not defeat him.

Of course, there is also the option of fire.

“… … ”

The white flame that burns hemp definitely had an effect on him.

Even now, he didn’t know what to do with the flames burning his ankles.

However, the problem was that the size of the enemy of the underground country was too large.

The flame of Suzaku is strong, but in the end it is a flame created by burning my spiritual power.

So, if you’re just a normal person, I don’t know.

It took too much spiritual power to burn such a big guy whole.

To the extent that it is impossible with the spiritual power I have now.

So, there was only one answer.

“… Is it poison?”

It might take some time, but it was the surest way.

Anyway, because of the attack earlier, his gaze was supposed to be focused on me.

It would have clearly imprinted on me that I am the most threatening enemy.

So, while the giant was exchanging battles with me, Han Seong-min disturbed him from close range and Na Ha-jeong from a distance.

If I could cause confusion to the giant and touch my sword no matter how many times, it would have been a fully possible strategy.

however.

My thoughts were rejected immediately after that.

“Quaaa!”

It was because the guy who suddenly let out a loud scream left me alone and ran to Na Ha-jung.

Not even extinguishing the flames attached to his ankles, he forced his tattered ankles to run.

As a result, Na Ha-jeong, who was still preparing for the next attack, was slightly perplexed.

“No, what… ”

Na Ha-jung had just changed the magazine after the first shot.

In other words, he hadn’t done anything that would stimulate the enemy of the underground country.

But why is he trying to attack Na Ha-jung like that?

“Is it because of the tradition?”

I immediately recalled the lore I had heard from Na Ha-jeong.

In the legend, the wife who helped the enemy of the underground country threw the giant’s severed head to the giant, and it is said that the head was attached to the giant again.

And on the contrary, the woman who helped her husband sprinkled ashes on the severed head of the giant so that he would not stick to it.

This tradition also meant the regenerative power and magical power of the enemy of the Underground State.

At the same time, it meant that the two women played a big role in deciding the direction of the battle.

That’s why the enemy of the underground kingdom couldn’t regenerate the wounds due to the effect of my sword, and instead found the cause of the burning in Nahajeong, not me.

Like the woman who disturbed him, he must have thought that Na Ha-jung was spreading ashes on my wounds.

“Stupid bastard.”

I rushed towards the underworld enemy who had turned his back on me.

And once again, he pointed the knife at the empty ankle.

Chew!

Then, this time, his tattered ankle was completely cut off by my sword, and he rolled on the floor.

but,

“Kuaaa!”

Even though his ankle was cut off, the enemy of the Underground State only slanted for a moment.

Soon after, she regained her balance and ran towards Na Ha-jung.

It was because of his magical power that he could move his body freely.

Although the severed ankle was completely burned by my flames, almost reduced to ashes.

The giant rushed at Na Ha-jung while supporting one leg with his magical powers as if he had a transparent ankle.

Despite the black blood pouring down from it.

“Back off!”

Naha-jung shouted.

She, too, did not stand still, recognizing that the underworld enemy was targeting her.

Suddenly, her K-2 had a grenade launcher attached to it.

Na Ha-jeong quickly stepped back and put countless bullets into the head of the enemy of the underground country.

And at the end of it, grenades were fired in succession and exploded in succession in front of his eyes.

With a loud explosion, it finally blows its head off.

“… … ”

No matter how much it was strengthened by spiritual power, it was considerable firepower.

To blow away the body that I couldn’t completely cut off with my sword without a trace.

however.

Even so, Naha-jeong’s attack couldn’t be said to be effective against him.

She didn’t have the power to stop regeneration like I did.

“Geuuu-”

With a grotesque noise coming from the throat where the head had been blown off, the head that had been blown off began to slowly regenerate.

Of course, it wasn’t Naha-jung to leave that out, but the monster didn’t stay still either.

As if he knew that Naha-jeong had to finish before he could rearm, he moved before the regeneration was finished.

In an instant, the guy’s twin swords approached right in front of Na Ha-jeong and plunged into her.

“Where!”

It was Han Sung-min who stood in front of him.

However, his baseball bat shook greatly the moment he blocked the falling twin swords.

“Wow… ”

Han Seong-min distorted his expression.

The difference in strength between the two was striking. Therefore, rather than blocking the attack coming from the front, he had to let it go to the side, but Han Sung-min did not have the martial arts skills that reached that level.

So Han Seong-min was hit by the following attack and flew away again.

Now, the only thing left in front of the giant is Na Ha-jeong.

She was still preparing for a counterattack with a calm expression, but it won’t be easy.

“I can’t help it.”

Since this happened, it was not efficient to use poison to catch it.

It takes time to do this, but if you’re aiming for Naha-jeong like a madman in the meantime.

Even I couldn’t fully protect her.

So I had no choice but to write the item I was trying to save.

＜Spirit of Mighty Giant＞

magic soul item

– For 30 minutes, all stats except spiritual power increase by 30.

– Strength increases by 5 permanently.

Expendables

It was the soul of a demon containing a part of Goliath’s legend.

Coincidentally, both are the lore of the same giant.

I don’t know if that’s why, but with this level of ability correction, I won’t be pushed back by the power of that underground country enemy anymore.

Having made that decision, I immediately used the item.

In an instant, an enormous power burst out and settled in every corner of his body.

I immediately raised my sword, approached the swordsman who was aiming at Naha-jeong, and struck it from the front.

Caang!

Then, an exhilarating sound erupted, and the two greatswords were heard loudly in the air.

“… !”

Looking at that, Na Ha-jung was next to me with her eyes wide open.
