Episode 246
It was literally a bombardment.
He was surprised by the powerful magic that was suddenly shot, as were the elders who followed him and Cheong Gil-young, who was being targeted by Nae-gang.
“Who could do such a magic trick? … .”
“Anyway, it’s good news. older brother. At this rate, he must have suffered a blow.”
As Hwang Cheol-ho said, the appearance of the nasal cavity that was eventually revealed was not good even with empty words.
Even his original body, which boasted of great strength, had been mutilated with wounds, and a curse was burning all over his body, preventing his recovery.
After confirming this, Gil-young Cheong turned her gaze to Kang-yoon Han and glanced at her face.
‘This little guy… … .’
The first emotion that Cheong Gil-young, who discovered Kang-yoon Han in the support group a while ago, was puzzled.
Han Kang-yoon is a strong man who even defeated the former elder Cheong Un-do with his own hands. There was no reason why he was only helping the support team’s mission.
But when things turned out like this, it became clear. Han Kang-yun used four elders, including himself, as bait.
And the effect was absolutely certain.
“… I knew it, but he was a really dark friend.”
“I am sorry to say that. I just came up with a way to help desperately in a situation where I didn’t belong to my main university.”
It was Gil-Young Chung who snorted at the unreasonable excuse, but even so, I had no choice but to acknowledge the contribution of Kang-Yoon Han.
Han Kang-yoon completely beat the monster and created the best chance.
Now was the time to grab it and not miss it.
“Jibong!”
“I know. Let’s end it here.”
Of the four elders, only Baek Ji-bong and Baek Sang-hwa can use great magic.
In order to inflict a certain fatal blow to the gnome, the two elders started reciting the mantra of great magic once again.
However, it was stopped by Han Kang-yoon.
“Not now. Save a little more power.”
“what? Can’t you see he’s been hit and can’t move?”
Despite the elders’ reaction, Han Kang-yun’s attitude was strong.
“Calm down and look in the direction he is once again. Is that the image of someone who has been hit and cannot control himself?”
Upon hearing those words, I looked closely, and there was definitely something strange about it.
At some point, transparent mucous membranes like the previous cocoon were rushing between the ugly skin of the nasal cavity, and it rapidly enveloped the entire body and hid its shape.
At the same time, a creepy voice entered everyone’s mind.
[These hateful masters… … I won’t let you go back alive… … !]
“No way! What else do you mean?”
Hwang Cheol-ho smirked as if in vain, and at that point, Yoo Ha-on and his party, who were maintaining their posture, arrived next to the elders.
To the girls who looked suspiciously at Han Kang-yoon’s appearance, Han Kang-yoon quietly opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.
“I need your help.”
With that resolute appearance, they had no choice but to nod their heads, leaving behind the various questions they were about to spit out.
***
‘It came sooner than I thought.’
It’s called Phase 3.
The number and final form of self-destruction that shows the nasal passages that have consumed a lot of energy.
To be honest, I thought it would take quite a lot of sacrifice to get here, but the propaganda of the elders made things much better.
And, in fact, the reason for such a change was clear.
‘Is it Cheong Gil-young?’
Originally, he was killed on the spot by the nasal cavity.
But now, he is not dead and is alive and well, contributing to his power.
Since I had been involved in Cheongga’s affairs in many ways, it was clear that he too had achieved a level of growth by getting involved in various things at the same time.
‘Even in the original story, the battle balance was disrupted at the moment when Cheong Gil-young was killed, so if he is alive now, the outcome will naturally change as well.’
Anyway, going back to the main point, the nasal cavity has reached the 3rd phase and falls into a so-called runaway state.
In that state, all abilities are fully increased, and resistance is also strong, so you can no longer deal damage with any attack.
‘However, he has to continue to pay the price.’
As I said before, this is the number of self-destruction.
The nasal cavity will continue to consume its own vitality, and the moment it runs out, it will also die and return to a handful of soil.
If there is one variable, each time it absorbs human vitality, its retention time increases.
In other words, in the original version, it was a phase that could be cleared by consuming it with Yuhaon’s perm characteristics, which did not work with resistance, and protecting other exorcists and removing the means of recovery.
‘… … .’
Those who are quick-witted may have already recognized that, but now that Yoo Ha-on does not have the perm characteristic, the difficulty has of course increased.
In fact, the runaway will continue unless he can stop the series of life-draining processes that kill the exorcists.
It meant that I had to deal with him somehow and protect all the people around him.
I called Seo-ah, who was on Yuha-on’s side, and gave him the soft instructions.
“You can’t let him absorb human life. If you see any signs of that, stop it.”
“… yes. I will pass it on to the kids.”
The direct counterpart of the nasal cavity is left to the elders as before.
Yoo Ha-on and his party protect the exorcists around them, and our party helps those who are pushed between them.
This was the best position I had in mind.
Damn it!
Awkward-!
The appearance of the nasal cavity finally revealed was intense.
It is a form of multi-legged walking like a spider as the body has a stream of spirits flowing through it, it has more than doubled in size, and the number of arms and legs has increased.
Even the exorcists, who had regained their courage at the terrible appearance, withdrew again and showed signs of disgust.
And it was certainly not just the appearance that changed.
“Uh, uh!”
An exorcist who was observing the situation was quickly caught by the stem that suddenly rose from the ground.
And the guy swallowed the body in one breath and chewed it as it was.
At the terrible sound of human flesh and bones being crushed, Baek Ji-bong vomited out anger.
“this guy!”
Nettle juice!
Wow-!
However, the skin has already become harder than before, and is in a state of ignoring any attacks.
And the gnome started stalking the exorcists by shooting the stems on its back to the ground again.
[I won’t let anyone live… … !]
Whoops!
Fuwaak!
A few exorcists were caught by the stalks that soared at their feet, and they began to be dragged along by them, just like their previous victims.
“Aww, whoa!”
“help me!”
However, this time, Yoo Ha-on and his party, who received my instructions, did not stand still.
Sue remember!
quagga!
“The stem itself is not that hard!”
“… I think that’s enough to make it stop.”
It’s easy to say and, in fact, an acrobatic feat to accurately aim for the stem that moves in all directions while guarding my body.
However, for Yoo Ha-on and his party, each with their own special talents, it was possible.
“good night! You stop the stems!”
Hwang Cheol-ho, who roughly checked the situation, shouted to Yoo Ha-on and his party and started running towards him.
The elders followed suit, and I also gave directions to the party.
“Laura helps the kids with Jian. And you will go with me.”
“Yes. I know.”
“… I understand.”
After the split, Arietta and I followed the elders and headed in the direction of the gnome.
“Look, his condition is not so bad, so you… … .”
“Leave it. He doesn’t need our advice.”
“… If you say so.”
Baek Ji-bong tried to dissuade us, but he nodded in agreement with each word of Cheong Gil-young and turned his gaze away.
And soon in front of us, Hwang Cheol-ho, who had flew several attacks against Bi-Kang, retreated and said,
“Jibong-nim, it has to be at the level of great magic. It’s a ridiculously hard shell.”
“If your attack is so blocked, it seems difficult to inflict meaningful damage even with my great magic… … .”
Strictly speaking, the great magic used by Baek Sang-hwa and Baek Ji-bong are of a slightly lower level.
Instead of lowering its power, it is a universal technique unique to the White House that enhances its utility.
For that reason, Baek Ji-bong had a somewhat insecure face.
‘It’s not really wrong.’
Unfortunately, the great magic of Baek Ji-bong and Baek Sang-hwa will probably not do much damage against the current guy.
“But wouldn’t it be better than being still? Now that I look at it, it has become stiff and gigantic, but its movement has slowed considerably. He’s going to be blocking him, so give him a shot, you bastard.”
At Cheong Gil-young’s words, Baek Ji-bong and Baek Sang-hwa nodded their heads and stepped back and started reciting mantras.
In the meantime, it was up to the two elders and us to stop him.
“He’s a smart guy. Be careful, there may be a hidden trick.”
“Don’t worry. This Hwang Cheol-ho is not that kind of person!”
Dazzlingly avoiding the legs that hit the floor, Hwang Cheol-ho continued to aim at the area around the eyes of the nasal cavity.
If damage could not be done, it seemed that he was determined to make it even more troublesome.
‘… They definitely have good sense.’
The name elder and that experience are quite helpful in this situation.
Arietta and I supported Hwang Cheol-ho’s movements, and we shot the craftsman at the boy’s eyes as it was.
[These abominations!]
When Rain lifted several of his legs and hit the ground at once, the surrounding earth shook, obscuring his view with dirt.
And I intuitively realized. The fact that he wants to show a trump card for our guard.
“That’s it! Shout!”
[Oh!]
Gusundae started running forward in response to my shout, and the tone chasing after him, turning his back to me in an instant.
[I don’t care. Take care of yourself.]
“No worries.”
Whoops!
Fuwaak!
Dodging the stems that soared up from the floor, I and Arietta, riding on the back of the tuning fork, reached in front of him in an instant.
Then, unsurprisingly, I was able to confirm the appearance of the nasal cavity, which was carrying out some kind of magic while gathering a huge amount of yogi.
In order to deceive our eyes, he was aiming for a certain timing by repeating powerful but simple attacks until now.
[Hey, how the hell… … !]
“Because I hid it too much, it was rather noticeable.”
Compared to us, who can protect and support each other, the nasal cavity has to take a very brief moment to show off a powerful move.
It was the intention that he deliberately made a big attack and blocked his view.
For me, who knew most of them anyway, the thought behind them was clearly conveyed.
And when I got the chance, I used the low-key guy’s magic trick to reverse the conversion and put in a conversion.
“Zhao Tianlin.”
