Easy raid (5)
It wasn’t that I didn’t have this kind of experience.
Rather, it was a problem because there were too many of them.
It was just as common for an enemy who was in a dying state to suddenly awaken with some power.
Even some monsters did that.
I wondered if it was the protagonist’s exclusive property to reveal his hidden strength in a crisis, but damn this world didn’t follow such a rule.
From what I’ve been through, it seems that both dogs and cattle are awakening, but at least I’ve never seen in my long life that those who belong to the Dark Truth Church awaken.
The five fingers did not handle dark magic, so even if it were an exception, the one who could be called the commander of the Dark Knights, and even the leader.

But what is this scene happening right in front of my eyes?
“Kuhh, heh heh… … !”
With a black air current wrapped around her body, Jennon let out a low laugh.
The plate armor that covered his whole body was disintegrating and rolling around, and before long the exposed body swelled up so much that it was difficult to say that it was normal.
Isn’t that more like a monster than a human?
I remember seeing a similar monster.
Looking at the completely transformed Jennon, I fell in love with that feeling for a while. I wonder why I would just leave it alone, but usually if I couldn’t kill it right before awakening, I could see that it had already left my hand.
Rather than attacking hastily and being counterattacked, it was best to calmly observe and devise a countermeasure.
“hahahahaha! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
While doing so, Jennon finally let off his light and looked up at the sky with both hands raised.
After clenching and opening his fists a couple of times as if to check his strength, the guy finally let out an ecstatic voice.
“Ah, Dark Lord. thank you That infinite power reached me. I can finally punish that wicked heretic. Alas, yes. I will do your will.”
I don’t know why the dark lord is talking to the sky when he’s stuck in the ground.
It seems that they don’t even tell us where the gods they worship are.
Jennon muttered for a long time as if he was talking directly to the dark lord, then slowly lowered his head towards me.
“Thank you, heretic.”
“Oh, what else?”
“Thanks to you, the Dark Lord personally gave me strength and gave me an oracle. Could there be any greater joy than this as a lowly servant serving the Dark Lord?”
I tried to get annoyed, but the seeds didn’t work.
Its body swelled up so much that it was impossible to find its previous appearance, and the smooth hair that was revealed when the helmet came off was originally bald, or it was not known whether it was peeled off as the body mutated.
His face was also distorted, giving him a rather repulsive look, but it was surprising that he was able to maintain his reasoning and talk like that.
Usually, when it mutates to that extent, it only makes strange noises and only attacks based on instinct.
No, I wondered if talking nonsense while being possessed by the Dark Lord could be considered a rational conversation.
“The Dark Lord spoke of you.”
“That sounds kind of interesting.”
While he was talking nonsense, I thought about launching a surprise attack, but I decided to listen to the words that followed.
It could be said that it was a long, long bad relationship with the Dark Lord.
Even so, I had never had a proper conversation with him. No, could we talk?
You must go to the bottom floor… … .
As I was tracing my memory, Jennon’s words continued as if interrupting them.
“Yes, he said to correct the wrong. Correct those who have strayed from the Dark Lord’s guidance.”
“… … .”
I just listened to you
I suppressed my dejected heart and raised my sword, and as if I had waited for it, it flew like a cannonball.
Zenon’s almost naked body overflowed with more dark magic power than before, and a black air current continued to wrap around her body.
Of course, that power was also overwhelmingly strong.
Wow!
The ground collided with his fists cracked open with a roar.
It was a truly formidable force.
If it hits head-on, no matter how many countries it is, one or two places will be broken.
I felt unusual power and quickly avoided it, but he didn’t pay attention to me and was only drunk with his own power.
“Ha ha ha! That’s it! This power is proof that you are chosen by the dark lord! Now, come, heretic!”
As if she didn’t need the sword anymore, Jennon punched the ground once more with the other fist for no reason, then threw herself at me again with her eyes wide open.
It really looked like a monster with that size and running at that speed.
I watched him calmly, avoiding the fists that were swinging with a sound like tearing the wind.
The whole body, with its swollen muscles, was strengthened by dark magic, so it didn’t look easy to cut.
Even if they were cut down, a picture was drawn of them recovering quickly.
I tried slicing it down to see how strong it was, but there was only a metallic sound and sparks flying.
Apparently, it was human skin, not metal, so even Aculium couldn’t get rid of dark magic.
Should we think about the long term?
As I initially assumed, I decided to wait a little while until he exhausted his dark magic power and ran out of power.
“Hey, what a rat! You’re just running away! Even so, do you think the Dark Lord will look after you!”
As I continued to dodge, Jennon became more agitated and pushed me at a faster pace than before.
Let’s see.
The part that cannot be properly strengthened with dark magic… … .
Kwaaang!
“Hot ha! You finally got it right! You wouldn’t know how strong my strength has become because I’ve only run away, but I can clearly tell with my body… … !”
“You adapt faster than expected.”
I was a little surprised, but I got it safely with my arms and sword.
Still, I can’t help but feel a little throbbing.
Jennon looked at me in disbelief, but to me, that was also a familiar technique.
He also fought with the highest peak of the Dark Knight, so there was no way he didn’t know that kind of fighting method.
If constantly strengthening the body with dark magic is the method used by dark knights, what Jennon has just done is a technique that instantly creates great power by concentrating dark magic in one part.
It’s a skill that consumes a lot of dark magic and is difficult to control, but… … If there was such a large amount of dark magic, I expected that it would be used sooner or later.
From his point of view, it must have felt like a special move, but it was still clumsy.
“This cannot be! A heretic like you cannot block this power bestowed by the Dark Lord himself!”
“Wherever you try to fire one more shot.”
“Ooooh… … !”
The excited guy wrapped around his right arm a fiercely turbulent black air current, and I was about to give him a shot before he got used to controlling his dark power.
Kaaang!
That is if one of the fiercely flying arrows hadn’t hit Jennon in the head.
In an instant, his momentum stopped and I immediately rushed forward and swung my sword. It was to keep him from diverting his attention from me.
However, he calmly crossed his massive arms to block my attack.
“Yes, it is. There were still rats left… … !”
“Can’t you just ignore me?”
When I said this with a smirk, he also smiled somehow with a distorted face and slowly looked around.
Even though the thick darkness had subsided and only each other could see each other, Jennon calmly looked around as if he was looking through the darkness.
I continued to attack, but this time, Jennon’s side was solidifying the defense.
and after a while
“Here.”
Jennon’s gaze stopped in one place.
It wasn’t the place where Rowen had shot the arrow, but the place where the other four children were hiding.
He lowered his stance, looked at me again, and spoke in a pleasant tone.
“If you return what you did earlier, wouldn’t that be a lot of fun?”
“Say it once. stop.”
“Where to stop it!”
“okay.”
[Breaking the limit]
Jennon, who concentrated dark magic on his legs, flew up into the air in an instant, and I… … Right before that, I used Limit Break to jump up one step ahead and match the speed with him.
“… … What?!”
“Did I tell you?”
I climbed on the guy’s body, which became a perfect stepping stone, and aimed my sword at his heart.
“Can’t you just ignore it?”
Fighting evil!
“Kuuu!”
Concentrating dark magic on one part meant that, in the end, other parts were weakened.
In addition, only the outside was strengthened, but the inside was no different from normal humans. In other words, as long as the blade could be inserted, it could be killed.
The stabbing blade pierced his heart, but he twisted his body as if he wouldn’t die from it.
Before that, I drew out my sword and kicked the guy whose momentum was dissipating downwards. Then, he took a footrest from his bag, placed it in the air, and pushed it hard with his foot, accelerating toward it.
“Hey, heresy Noom!”
Jennon, who was somehow blocking the flow of blood from his heart, looked at me and raised his fist with a shout.
Of course, there was no way that an attack that was poorly positioned in the air would hit me… … My sword cut off his throat.
Wow!
The sound of the body falling was no joke.
I canceled the limit break, caught my breath, and shook the knife once.
Then, he inadvertently looked at Aculium in the form of a sword.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for this guy, it would have been a little harder to deal with Jennon. He couldn’t have cut his throat so cleanly.
I looked at Jennon’s corpse crushed on the floor, leaving behind my deeper gratitude and questions about Aculium.
Although it is said that it can be recovered with dark magic, I have not seen a case where it recovers even after its head is cut.
A black energy that could not be used up shuddered in the man who had completely stopped breathing. I felt sick to my stomach at the sight of a viscous liquid moving in midair.
there… … For some reason, it must be an illusion to feel the eyes as if they are looking at me.
“Go away now.”
As he spat it out like that, the black energy quickly lost its power and then slammed into the ground and slowly disappeared.
Anyway, every time I deal with it, I feel dirty.
I clicked my tongue briefly, and the children approached me hesitantly.
“Mister, are you done?”
Claire asked in a nervous voice, and I nodded quietly.
The other children also couldn’t hide their slightly frightened feelings, probably because they saw Jennon flying toward them with murderous intent from the front.
I’ve dealt with him a lot, so it’s okay, but normal people would have vomited themselves if they saw a guy with that level of dark magic.
Dark magic was a life-threatening aura.
It is convenient to think that the energy of death is united. Because of that, just looking at some high-risk monsters would cause people to become deranged.
I thought it would be a good experience for the children thanks to this, but I didn’t dare to say it.
“sorry.”
Rowen appeared later and immediately bowed his head to me.
He must be thinking that he ruined things because of himself and almost put his younger siblings in danger.
It wasn’t that big a risk, and thanks to that, I was able to finish it a little faster than I thought, but it was right to scold now.
“I must have said that. I mean, the more surprise attackers, the more they have to act based on clear information.”
“I was complacent.”
“I believe you know best what you did wrong. Reduce your free time for the next week and reflect by training for an extra hour.”
“all right.”
Rowen answered with her head down, and I turned to look at the children.
“Don’t relax yet. You don’t know that there were followers who escaped into the temple, right?”
At my words, the children trembled and straightened their posture.
I looked at the children, nodded, and gave the following instructions.
“Those who went inside must have been thinking of going through the back door. If they knew they were blocked, they would either come out this way again or hide. First, reopen the vents and clear away the debris from the fire.”
“yes!”
“Stop Rowen and raise your head. You did well in other things, so you should finish well, right?”
“… … yes.”
“Please check the back door one last time to see if there is a problem, help the children with their work, and then come to the entrance. Now, let’s start quickly.”
Rarely, after patting the sullen Rowen on the shoulder and encouraging him, he caught sight of him leading the children and moving again.

Then they moved towards the entrance of the temple, which still smelled acrid.
The remaining believers couldn’t escape even a single step from inside.
