95 – Corrupted Saint
Anyway, I spent a long time killing monsters and collected 370,000 Chaos, but even so, I needed more than 600,000 more to learn the Dragana-style bakjutsu technique.
“I pray to the gods – next time, lead me to those who are weak but cause a lot of chaos -“
“What are you doing here?”
“Huh? Byeongcheon hyung?”
“He hadn’t come yet, so I was looking around to see if anyone had collapsed, but I didn’t know he was actually lying on the floor. Are you okay?”
“I’m always fine hahahaha… Ugh…”
When I tried to get up, the pain I felt in my head spread to my whole body and I screamed.
‘hehehehe… Save me…’
“It doesn’t look good at all, but let’s go in first. Everyone is waiting for you. Does it make sense to say something to Eunchae that I’ll come back? Just like going to a convenience store.”
“Ah, just like a real convenience store, there were many different kinds.”
“··· What on earth is the benefit to be gained from it? If we don’t do that, won’t we be able to clear this?”
I swallowed my saliva once and answered the slightly more serious question.
“It’s not like that… My intuition just tells me to do it. I’m just doing it to put my mind at ease, so just pass over. Go inside and put up a shield.”
“Well, your wives are scared of me too…”
“······”
As I trudge to the shelter, there are seven women standing in front of the shelter with their eyes wide open.
“Good work-“
“Huh? Bro?”
Byeongcheon hyung threw me on the ground and walked around the shelter in a big circle.
– Oppa…
– Baby…
– Sunwoo’s father…
Gulp-
It was only later that I realized that it was spring when I was in the dimensional gap.
.
.
.
After being happily pampered by seven lovers for a while, I entered the shower room and collected my thoughts while absentmindedly catching the pouring water.
“I was so busy that I couldn’t think about it, but next time, let’s go into the store first. It will solve a lot of things other than brightening the view.”
And the next time I entered a room like this, the important thing was physical strength.
“Chaos is created by fighting…”
I finished my shower thinking that I would have to gather the neighboring shelter directors as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.
When I returned to the room, I remembered Eunchae’s cries as she grew up alone today.
I shrugged, confident that it would be okay for a day.
“It’s stage 30 tomorrow, but no one seems too nervous…”
You will have a strong hope that the stage will come closer day by day.
Brurrr-
Lingling: Why aren’t you replying? Are you sick of me now?
“Why is the story suddenly like this…?”
I pulled up the message for a while and read it down.
Linglin: I don’t have a very good sense of touch, right? Lee Jung-shin seems like a strange kid. I keep trying to shake hands, but I have hyperhidrosis and I absolutely hate shaking hands.
“I think emotions start to rise from here.”
Lingling: Once I’ve been labeled as an annoying person, I keep getting caught in my eyes. I want to get rid of it, but please stop me, okay?
Lingling: Why aren’t you answering? Are you seriously hurt somewhere? If you didn’t clear it, the message wouldn’t be sent? What’s the matter?
Linglin: Two people died today… Please… Are you okay?
“Hmm… My emotions are all mixed up. I was talking about that man and then telling him to answer, and then someone from the shelter ended up dying… It’s a bit different from usual.”
I thought I needed to calm down, so I sent a reply even though it was late.
Dog: Sorry, Ringling, I’m late in replying. I’m fine. There are many things to do here too.
“Hmm, should I say more…”
I sent a message and was self-committing that it seemed like an insincere text, but I immediately received a reply.
Lingling: Good luck! I wasn’t sleeping! There must be work there too. But can’t you give me a simple reply?
Lingling: No, sorry. What did I say? …
“He’s sunk a lot today. But I think this is the average of people on Earth right now.”
I wondered how many people would be sane in this situation.
Dog: If it were the opposite situation, I would have done the same. I understand. But how did there happen to be a death?
Ringling: Really? Yes? As expected, a dog… ㅠ^ㅠ The deceased were two people who had gone out to the field and were fighting with a dragon, but they could not stand it and were beaten to death.
Can you imagine being beaten to death? I’d rather not die by cutting off my head with a single sword. Anyway, the question is why there were only two people. We are a group of at least 4 people.
They say two people were suddenly moved to a shelter, but they don’t know why that happened.
“It was suddenly moved… There’s a rat in the shelter?”
Lingling: You probably think the same as me. Same goes for other people. Are they trying to give me a hard time because I cleared the last parasitic bug mission too easily? Anyway, everyone’s eyes are wide open now and they’re looking to see who the culprit is. However, there is no obvious solution.
“Wow… If I had been there, I would have found this right away. Or if I had someone as talented as my uncle, I would have found out in advance.”
Even if there are 100 people, it would be difficult to have all kinds of abilities.
Dog: If you think it’s dangerous, come towards us. We have the ability to catch a guy like that.
Ringling: hehehe. I really miss you.
“You don’t say you’ll come even if you die. Tsk…”
In the end, after exchanging text messages for a while, I finally told him to just let that Korean guy go.
Lingling was also one of the people on the list of people to be released after Stage 30, and at that time, he said he would seize the opportunity to send them away.
“The back of my head hurts. Can I sleep? I need to get rid of the cause quickly.”
After texting with Lingling, I feel somewhat at ease.

“I was such an abominable bastard. Do you find comfort in watching the LingLing team?”
It wasn’t good for me to see myself feeling the sense of stability, satisfaction, and slight superiority that comes from knowing that while others were having difficulties, we were okay.
“I’m too far gone. What would the members think if they knew the shelter director was this kind of guy?”
With the intention of coming to my senses, I sat in the upright position and started meditating.
Sometimes I followed what the gym leader did, and now it’s helpful. Life was something you never knew.
One thing I felt while fighting endlessly in the dimensional gap this time.
That I am strong.
Of course, it falls far short of the king of our race, Tankranku, the Hooded Monster, and the Korean Jin who appeared out of nowhere.
I now have a strong belief that no one who can defeat me in a short fight will ever appear on the stage.
Thump-thump-thump-
I could hear my heartbeat more clearly as I was confident that I could clear it.
Even if we tried not to, it was not easy to prevent a rosy future from being pictured.
Points held: 30,960,623
Since I had a lot of points, I thought I should try fusing various equipment, and while thinking about what to put in the blacksmith shop, I fell asleep before I knew it.
– Oppa… Oppa?…
“Hmm? Eunchae… Is it morning already?”
“No, it’s still early morning… Just.”
I don’t know what this means, but the thought in my mind was that I was sorry.
She still has a youthful face.
Because the image of the high school girl who came to me in school uniform remained vivid in my mind, I would sometimes be surprised to see her lying next to me.
“I’m having a hard time, but I thought I said too much earlier.”
······
If she wore a t-shirt that showed off her cleavage and said that she was worried, her lower body should have swelled up.
‘I’m tired…’
Surprisingly, I thought I was tired.
‘I guess I overexerted myself in the dimensional gap… I need to increase my damn stamina somehow.’
Without her saying a word, I held her in my arms and kneaded her for a while before she fell asleep again.
“You look really tired, oppa… Ugh…”
Even in her sleep, she could feel her touching her face here and there and talking to her with concern, and she was able to sleep much more comfortably than before.
Morning after the night.
Same routine as always.
Monsters pouring in.
Looking around the battlefield 360 degrees, my eyes landed on the biggest crack, and I immediately ran to that place.
There was a being wearing a black robe turned inside out who couldn’t wait to come out of the crack.
Human. A slender woman.
Letting out a strange laugh.
‘Is this a boss monster?’

The Insight trait attempts to rob.
– Trait robbery failed.
I thought there would be a twist, but my body was physically stronger than it looked, so it wasn’t a big problem.
‘What is that sacred power? It’s over 10,000.’
Even though she has fallen, she is still a saint.
I wanted to tear open the dimensional rift right away and confront it, but the rift, which was much tougher than usual, did not easily open the way.
Sigh-
“What are you splitting, Mr. Lee?”
In the end, I decided to kill the others rather than try to open the crack.
In the distance, two golden spears fell from the sky, attacking two dragons, and Lulu was dealing with the remaining three dragons.
“I can’t seem to find anything I can help you with.”
Puhak!
Popping off her warty head, her eyes fixed on Saint Isabella.
And when Isabella was walking out step by step.
‘The wrath of God.’
The golden spear imbued with the wrath of an unknown god that I had summoned from heaven fell towards Saint Isabella.
– Big…!
“Huh? I just got beaten up.”
As she stumbled for a moment and tried to overcome her shock, the saint’s shield had lost quite a bit of its shine.
Before she could take her stance, she summoned her spear once more and flew, and again her saint took a direct hit from her and was blown away.
It didn’t fly further due to Panhu’s blocking behind it, but if it had been left as is, it would have flown to another shelter.
The saintess, who stood up from her ground, lowered her head and began muttering something.
But.
‘Do you think I will wait for you?’
With an agility well over 300, I was able to occupy her position in an instant by activating my mobility device.
-!
As I got closer, I could see her shocked face.
‘Snow…’
The eyes were burned as if by fire, melting and sticking to the flesh.
But no matter what, I drew it down with a level of destruction filled with magical power.
Chaaa!
A saintess with her upper body torn in two and sticky, jet-black blood splattered everywhere.
“What is this? Is this the boss?”
When I was confused because the story ended so smoothly, something strange happened.
– Kihihihihi~
“······”
I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, but the saint with her upper body cut off was crawling toward her lower body with her internal organs scattered here and there.
“Ugh-f*ck… I can’t stand this. Ugh”
When I finally turned around again, having vomited brown fluid, I saw that her lower body and upper body were stuck together.
Stamina: 1(-104)
“······ It’s a trait.”
Looking closely at her, who had exactly 10,000 stamina remaining, I saw that she had countless, very thin threads connected to all the monsters on her battlefield.
She tried to cut her thread just in case, but the moment I cut it, it disappeared and reconnected.
“Hey, I still need to check.”
I felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing I could do.
She tore the saintess into dozens of pieces again, which had been combined with her lower body by about 90 degrees, and soon her chunks began to come together in one place.
“It’s not like there’s a nucleus or anything, this is just… That’s it, right?”
It seemed like the structure would end only if all of the connected monsters were killed.
“Phew…See you later.”
“Kihihihihi~”
I was contemplating whether to throw away a few dozen more pieces due to a really loud laugh, and they flew out like bullets into her battlefield.
But before she even arrived at the battlefield, she felt something strange.
“Why is there so much left?”
Of course, having seen her character traits, she started wiping them out one by one, hoping they weren’t hers.
And she soon discovered that her ominous premonition was correct.
