The body returned to its best condition, and the explosively increased abilities.
It wasn’t surprising, but it was a feeling I was somewhat accustomed to by now.
‘The whole body is full of strength.’
It’s been a while since I called Phase 2 of Illusion Delay.
‘Clearly there was nothing to write after the battle with Hecktail.’
That’s why my average specs went up, and it was also thanks to the fact that I got a lot of powerful shikigami.
However, even so, I couldn’t help but use it against Myodusa.
Rather, it was not an opponent that could be defeated without dying once.
‘It was clear that my limitations would come first anyway.’
So, from the very beginning, on the premise of activating Phase 2 of the illusion retardation characteristic, I purposely raised the pace and poured the curse of destruction.
In a word, I was using my life as a consumable for victory.
And the effect was, indeed, certain.
“Shhh… … .”
“Why are you feeling a little anxious now?”
As a Myodusa, he probably thought he had a golden opportunity from the strike a while ago.
In fact, if it wasn’t for me, the battle would have already ended in victory for him.
‘Who would expect? A mere human subject would have a second life.’
Unfortunately, I had a spleen, and now he has no left.
That was the difference between winning and losing.
‘The remaining stamina of this guy is only about 15%.’
On the other hand, I have regained my best condition and obtained a temporary amplification effect due to the effect of Phase 2 of the Phantom Delay.
‘Now, I, too, must avoid being fatally wounded again… … .’
In this state, there was no problem in using the curse of annihilation several times in the future.
Whoops.
As I raised my spiritual power, he flinched for a moment.
As a result of continued learning, he now knew all too well what was going to happen next.
“Kyaah!”
He let out a ferocious scream, but now it felt more like a scream than a threat.
In the eyes of the Myodusa, there was a faint fear at some point.
‘That’s right.’
At best, he suffered and died, but he came back to life with a stronger image.
As the party, I know that there is no next one, but I am not the Myodousa.
If so, where is the guarantee that the same thing won’t happen if you kill them again?
It was clear that there was nothing more terrifying than that for a myodousa who had instinct and intelligence, but lacked wisdom.

Myodousa only hesitated even though I was raising my spiritual power, but didn’t rush into it.A lot of thoughts are already swirling around in your head.
And the conclusion was very shabby.
“Ahhh-!”

Myodousa turned around in an instant and started running.The opposite direction from where we are. It is a route that has no contact with the city center.
In other words, he gave up on winning.
“Hey, you ran away? A monster like that?”
Even Shin Noeul, who was barely breathing, was so heterogeneous that his eyes widened.
However, it was the worst choice for Myodousa.
“The Temple of the Dead.”
Whoops.
Pasta crispy!
“… Shh!”
It’s unfortunate for him, but if I let go of the string of attack like that, I have no room for concern anymore.
Because he didn’t care about evasion or defense, he just had to chase him and fire curses.
“The Temple of the Dead.”
Whoops.
Pasta crispy!
Perhaps he had deliberately made up his mind, even as he screamed, his body did not stop running.
“The Temple of the Dead.”
Whoops.
Paz!
“Shhh!”
However, this world is not a game.
15% of the words actually meant that he was already exhausted, and as 1% of his stamina was consumed, his limit came closer.
Even if he barely survived the attack and left about 5% of his health, wouldn’t it be the same as an invoice with only his life attached?
Such predictions of mine eventually turned out to be true.
“Mirror of a semicircle.”
Paz!
blah blah!
“Kyaak—!”
It is the ninth time the curse has been activated since the second phase.
In the end, the guy who couldn’t stand it fell to the ground poorly with the shock of the curse.
I could feel the vibrations enough to ring my toes, and dust flew with the wind.
However, without hesitation, I continued to use the curse, and slowly made my way to the place where he fell.
turuk.
When I finally got to that place, the S-rank youkai Myodusa that I already knew did not exist.
There was only one animal left begging for its life.
“Shhh… … .”
He was staring at me with eyes looking at something indescribable, and now there was no will to rebel.
Their positions were reversed, and they completely recognized me as a top predator.
‘… … .’
Seeing an enemy who used to be so powerful like this makes me feel quite subtle.
However, I had no intention of taking any time off. Because who I am now, I was a weak existence that could be destroyed by just one mistake or one carelessness.
“bye.”
Higher cursed magic, Cheongsa incense poison.
As it unfolded, Myodousa, who had finally reached the limit, rolled her eyes and lowered her huge head.
woohoo!
It was a battle that only hurt, but at the same time, it was a victory worth more than anything else.
Kick!
“… Sister, are you okay?”
“Huh, am I looking at something in vain? To catch a monster like this by yourself… … .”
Noeul Shin said it was hard to believe, but there was nothing special about it.
In the first place, it was the work of Shin No-eul and the Jeokhwa Team that cut off most of Myodousa’s stamina, not me.
“No, that’s not it. Without you, it would have been our defeat in the end.”
“It’s an undeserved compliment.”
“Is this humility or arrogance… … .”
Shin No-eul, who looked at me as if strangely, then sat down on the floor with a disappointed smile.
“… Well, what does that have to do with it? I really thought I was going to die.”
“Are you all right?”
“No, actually, my vision is still blurry.”
However, Shin No-eul’s expression didn’t look that bad when he said it.
And around that time, the presence of several exorcists began to be felt from the direction we had been pursuing Myodousa.
“Have you arrived now, you’re slow anyway.”
“… … .”
Arietta also didn’t express it, but it was evident that she was tired.
Seeing that his eyes and teeth had returned to their original state, all the effects of vampires seemed to have disappeared.
The exorcists who came to the place where we were in that way looked at the corpse of the Myodusa and the fallen cage, looking at each other with a look of embarrassment.
“Hey, this. Noeul Shin… … ?”
“No, all these reckless newcomers did it. I’d rather call an ambulance or something. I feel like I’m going to fall really soon.”
No, Shin Noeul suddenly turned pale and then collapsed and lost consciousness.
Deputy general manager Lee Doo-shik, who came with him, was startled and gave first aid, and we were soon taken to the hospital.
‘… … .’
The Myodousa died, and the Red Army survived.
It was a moment when a button for the future was once again filled.
***
“So, what did they do?”
“We are all lying on our backs. Of course you should go back to the academy.”
In a quiet hospital room, Shin No-eul and Lee Doo-shik are by his side.
They continued the conversation, recalling the stormy days of the past few days.
“It is terrifying even thinking about it now. What would have happened if the manager and the other guys had even died?”
“… It’s unfortunate that Woong-gil happened, but in fact, just surviving this much is nothing short of a miracle.”
In particular, if it wasn’t for Han Kang-yoon and Arietta, they probably wouldn’t be here.
At first, I just brought him to the Red Hat team for the purpose of recruiting him, but it was really strange how things turned out like this.
“That’s too bad. They were really cool guys.”
“What can I do? Everything in the world is like that.”
And Shin No-eul had no intention of making Han Kang-yoon and Arietta members of the Red Army.
“yes? Why?”
“It’s just a shame.”
Shin No-eul felt that the two were not talented enough to be tied to a group that was only about the size of a red-hot group.
“They need to do something bigger. We weren’t the sellers.”
Shin No-eul himself was an elite exorcist, but that’s why he was able to feel it more clearly.
Unlike himself, who is currently at the limit, Han Kang-yoon and Arietta still have a long way to go.
“Ah, if the general manager is still young, isn’t he young?
“If you are young, what else is young? And when it’s us, even if we don’t like it, we’ll know. How far are your limits?”
Shinnoeul was a type that grew rapidly, but had a clear peak.
At least, no more explosive growth can be achieved here.
“From here on, the people who go up will go up. For example, cleaning the blue house.”
“… Is that so? I’m a dunjae who barely even got a first grade level, so I don’t really know.”
In fact, other exorcists would have vomited their displeasure if they had listened to the current conversation.
In the world, even Lee Doo-shik, a first-class exorcist, deserved to be treated as a genius.
However, among geniuses, there are geniuses of different grades. It was just that.
“Anyway, thanks to you, I saved my life, so next time I see them, I treat them with respect. Even if it’s only two years, you’ll have to take me as your older brother.”
“… 🥺 Talent is a sad thing.”
However, Lee Doo-sik also felt great grace from Han Kang-yoon and Arietta.
To be honest, I didn’t even care if I had to take him as my older brother.
As I was slicing apples for such an overcharge, I added a comment that seemed to remind me of Shin No-eul, who was by my side.
“Oh, even if you don’t, when I asked you to tell me what you want, you asked me a bit strangely.”
“Are you talking about a strange request?”
“okay.”
Its content was simple.
In the event of something to come sooner or later, the red flower gang will be Han Kang-yoon’s strength once and for all.
He had the authority to grant that kind of request, so Shin No-eul was also accepting it.
“Where are you going to use us?”
“Aren’t you Nanda? I don’t know.”
However, one thing was certain.
It was the fact that, no matter when, where, or what happened in the future, the members of the Red Flower Troupe would sincerely stand by Han Kang-yoon at least once.
