125 – 21: I hate people who talk bullsh*t.
Corpse snake. The bastard who took Yeouiju from Cheongryong and also took away its power.
As soon as I realized that it was imitating the blue dragon by stealing it, I tried to take out my sword, but I frowned when I recognized the current situation.
If this evil spirit, which uses its own territory and possesses the power of the blue dragon, runs rampant in the middle of the city, what will be the casualties?
I remember what I said to Cheongryong. I thought that I wanted to live thanks to that guy, and that everyone who lives because of him lives thanks to that guy.
It’s only been a while since I said that, but isn’t it a bit much to kill people without caring about them?
I was about to pull out my knife and then looked down at the corpse snake in an awkward position.
And why does this thing suddenly appear and not attack people? Why does it imitate a blue dragon?
Even this one did not feel the curse and hatred towards humans that are characteristic of evil spirits. There was only pure curiosity, as if he wanted to check something.
What I see in the corpse snake’s eyes is affection and obsession for me. It was a feeling that could be explained in that way, and seeing it in the form of a blue dragon turned my stomach.
Is this son of a b*tch now asking for his pain to be killed?
I gritted my teeth and glared at the corpse snake. The corpse snake was just smiling as if it was happy.
“Exorcist Lee Jun…… ?”
As I was crumpling my face, the main character spoke to me as if I was puzzled. I checked the calculator to see if I could minimize the damage and exorcise this if the main character was with me.
My brother told me that the main character of this game’s greatest ability is being able to use the power of the spirits he has become friends with.
The power of fate or something. I don’t remember the details, but the main character’s biggest special feature is that he can borrow the power of divine spirits.
That means that even though the current protagonist cannot use the power of Wooshin, there is a high possibility that he can use the power of trees.
But I think it also said that it is not possible for the protagonist to use divine power from the beginning, but must overcome some kind of awakening event.
Is that really possible for the current protagonist? No, even without such power, the main character is an exorcist who received an A grade purely through his own strength.
But can a simple A-level exorcist win in the face of a ghost-level evil spirit?
I thought about Red Mask and the corpse snake I faced before.
I don’t intend to praise myself, but I am strong. It is strong enough even without the skill Annihilation of Spirits.
There is also a piece of iron that is a class A casting, so I am confident that he is at least stronger than the main character we saw when dealing with Mama.
Among the exorcists I’ve seen so far, wouldn’t I be the strongest, except for Gwi-tae, who should be compared to Grandma Gaeddong?
The red mask and the corpse snake that I and Gwi-tae managed to defeat through our combined efforts, and the corpse snake that was so strong that if it weren’t for Gwi-tae, my death would have been certain.
The calculation is complete. Unless the protagonist can use divine power, if I start a fight here, I may win, but the protagonist will definitely die.
As a bonus, the casualties among civilians wandering around would be enormous.
“- It’s nothing.”
There is nothing we can do. It would cause more damage if we pulled out our swords and fought here right now. If so, the priority is to find out its purpose.
“Captain! Then we’ll go to a bar together – uh, food? “Let’s go eat!”
The corpse snake smiled and clung to my arm.
It doesn’t actually come out, but it smells like disgusting water and a corpse, and the image of a corpse snake rising from the crevices of so many water demons that can’t leak comes to mind.
“Let’s go together. Let’s go together. Let’s go. [Let’s go? Ga, gaaaza?] Yes, is this correct? hehehe.”
It was a corpse snake that whined in the voice of a blue dragon, but for a moment it made a strange sound as if a machine had broken down, giving off an ominous aura.
I looked at the main character while feeling goosebumps all over my body and nausea.
Of course, the main character seemed to feel something was off and tried to take out an object that looked like a fetish from the bag he was wearing. I shook my head and stopped the protagonist.
The protagonist also frowned, as if he guessed the civilian casualties that would occur if he fought here a beat later.
No, just a moment. If the protagonist, unlike me, can create a barrier, wouldn’t he be able to bite people and fight safely?
I looked at the main character and carefully tried to open my mouth to ask that question. I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut again.
This is because the blue dragon’s eyes were so cold that all emotions had disappeared.
“Captain. Why are you looking somewhere else? Leader? I’m here? [That’s strange. Ignoring ‘me’ in front of him is not what a leader does, right?”
When the corpse snake in the form of a blue dragon muttered that, a rumbling sound came from the sky and the sky began to flash as if lightning was about to fall at any moment.
It’s not just about lightning falling from the sky. Inside the dark clouds that gathered in an instant, a suffocating amount of spiritual power was gushing out, threatening to devour the ground.
The protagonist was speechless at the overwhelming sight and looked at the sky and the dead snake alternately. I glared at the corpse snake with wide eyes.
“-What is the purpose?”
I refrained from swearing right away and chose the question I needed to ask. Because I couldn’t understand the idea.
In the first place, evil spirits are said to be incomprehensible under the concept of common sense, but the current behavior of this corpse snake is not at the level of incomprehensibility.
A corpse snake smiles as if it is satisfied with me looking at it. Not only that, this evil spirit was rubbing his face on my stomach.
The behavior is exactly similar to what Wooshin and Blue Dragon do, making it even more unpleasant and ominous.
I thought back to the first time I met this monster.
In my blurry memories of the fight, the words this monster left came to mind. This evil spirit clearly said that he wanted to become a dragon.
I don’t know if he wants to take the Blue Dragon’s place, or if he wants to become a new spirit, but he has a fetish called Yeouiju and even took away the Blue Dragon’s authority.
Enemy of the Blue Dragon. 반드시 조져야 할 개 같은 개새끼. That’s the existence of the Corpse Snake, and that enemy is acting like this now.
I glared at the corpse snake, biting my teeth so hard that my molars almost broke.
When the corpse snake saw me like that, it started to open its mouth with a happy face, like a traveler who found an oasis in the desert.
“I want to be a dragon. I heard it can be done. Have you ever seen a dragon flying in the sky under the sea?
It was more beautiful than anything else. It was really cool. I am so jealous that all humans praise dragons – so I will become a dragon. I will be there instead.
If all that is taken away from me, I end up being a dragon, right? So, I tried to do that. It also took away my strength. It certainly was. Then I thought it was done.
But to this dragon, to this dragon, except for himself, you were the only one. Leader. It’s a dragon’s world. You are the heart and everything.
I wanted to find out what this was. Something that allows a dragon to remain a dragon even when its divine power has been taken away. So I came.
In the dragon, you are more than anything else in the world. I thought that in order to become a dragon, I had to have not only the power of a dragon but also you. First of all, I wanted to see it in person. But seeing it in person makes me feel really, really happy.
Just by looking at the face and feeling the body temperature…… Happy.”
From those words, I roughly knew why this appeared.
As I said before, the corpse snake that wanted to become a dragon seems to have literally wanted to replace the blue dragon.
I don’t fully understand that an evil spirit wants to become a god, and it seems a bit crazy.
That evil spirit sincerely wants to become a spirit, and among them, he came to visit me out of interest in the existence of me, who follows him like a family member.
The reason is that I want to know why you are so interested and value it.
…… Is this correct? Is that right? It’s so seriously crazy that I can’t even fathom it. I felt like I would throw up if I stayed still, so I spoke to him sarcastically.
“It’s so damn salty. Even when my younger sister told me she wanted to become a magic girl, I just passed it off as, “Well, at least she’s a human and not a Tyrannosaurus.” But you’re a bit rude. “You damn bastard.”
Seeing the corpse snake blushing, I pushed it away with indescribable disgust and discomfort.
Then, for a moment, his face looked surprised, and then his eyes blurred, as if he had been betrayed by someone he loved, but then he started laughing as if something was so funny.
“Hee, hee hee hee! Amazing. You are truly amazing. How do I do this? Dragons get swayed by every word a human says, right?
hehehe! I feel like my heart will drop! I have no heart! Even though there is no blood, it feels like my blood is getting cold and my brainstem is burning! Just for humans! At a single human word! Ah, is this a curse?”
The laughing corpse snake felt emotions for the first time and felt like he was being swayed by them.
Emotions. It was strange. It is said that ghost-level evil spirits are beings that transcend the status of ordinary evil spirits, but do they even feel emotions?
The academy textbook said: It is said that the more an evil spirit resembles a human, the stronger it becomes and its behavior also resembles that of a human. But an evil spirit is an evil spirit. It is nothing more than imitating human emotions.
But the corpse snake in front of me was clearly feeling emotions.
Even if it was rated as a ghost, it was strange. As I began to wonder, what came to mind was the existence of Yeouiju.
Through that Yeouiju, does this evil spirit feel the same emotions that the blue dragon can feel? Now that it is presumed that his powers have been taken away through a divine object called Yeouiju, it was not strange for him to do such a thing.
Then, now is the time to think. If you take away the emotions from Blue Dragon, if you take my little girl without permission in front of me, I will immediately pick up a knife and kill you.
As I glared at him with a murderous intent I had never felt before, the corpse snake stomped its feet and continued talking as it pleased.
“Deeper than the curse that fell into the sea! It’s stronger than the resentment thrown away after being unfairly cut off! It hurts more than when I got my flesh ripped off by crabs, and it’s colder than the deep sea! It’s terrible! It’s terrible!
But on the other hand, whenever I touch you, my skin feels warm and my heart flutters. I’ve never felt that before! Ha-
You really placed the worst curse on the dragon! “The dragon was cursed and cursed by you, so that’s why it became a dragon!”
The sight of a corpse snake muttering under its breath aroused instinctive disgust and rejection in humans.
I was crazy. This is crazy. This is the type of madman I have feared the most since I was a child.
A sister I knew who had promiscuous relationships with women ended up being cut to death with her knife, and the woman who killed her now had eyes like a corpse snake.
Both the protagonist and I held our breath at the sight of such madness and disgust.
My body reflexively took out a dagger-shaped piece of metal from my bank account and swung it, feeling disgust running through my body along with memories of the past.
A blow that puts to shame everything I have endured up until now. I didn’t even have time to grit my teeth and say I made a mistake.
Sgeung, simply the neck of the corpse snake in the shape of a blue dragon fell from the body and flew into the air.
“W-what?!”
“It’s murder!”
“That’s not Wooshin…” … ?!”
Screaming was heard from those around us at the sudden situation, but the screams turned into doubts at the sight that followed.
The arm of a corpse snake that catches the head that has flown into the air. No blood spurts out. Instead, the severed part of the neck turned into pure white flesh with all the blood drained out, and was just writhing.
No bones or veins were visible in the cut cross section. The corpse snake’s head is looking at me with a grin.
The texture left on my hand was also strange. The sensation I felt when cutting off its head was similar to the sensation I felt when cutting off the body of a corpse snake made of tangled water ghosts.
Where should I cut to kill this thing? Isn’t it the main body? While my thoughts were racing, the sky rumbled! The sound rang out.
The Corpse Snake grinned – the corners of its mouth were literally tearing apart – and rolled its head in its hands.
The bizarre sight that has been shown so far and is being shown now would be called a nightmare if you had dreamed it. I completely grasped the iron in both hands.
The protagonist took out his familiar amulet from his pocket and acted as if he was trying to quickly set up a barrier.
An imminent situation.
I stabbed the corpse snake more than 10 times in the chest, which was running at a speed that was difficult for the protagonist to follow with his eyes, and then used the ice creation skill to trap its body in ice.
The attack not only tore apart the heart, lungs, major organs, and the areas through which the arteries pass, but even froze them, so even if it were a class A demon, it would not have been strange for it to be annihilated immediately-
The corpse snake is not dead. Then I realized. This is not the main body.
In that case, let’s destroy it by crushing its body before it goes on a rampage. When I saw the corpse snake slowly growing alive, I strengthened my whole body.
“[ – Ah. Doesn’t it work? Not anymore? Ah, then I’ll come back later. Leader. Until next time, find out what this curse is. And- hee hee. Heehee!! ]”
After leaving his words, the Corpse Snake stretched out his only moving arm and pushed his severed head in, rubbing it against my cheek.
Immediately after, the body melted and the corpse snake disappeared, leaving behind a sour odor.
The dark clouds that had gathered in the sky also disappeared. A corpse snake that disappeared in an instant after rubbing its head against my cheek.
“Bah, what on earth was that just now? It wasn’t Wooshin, right? What on earth is it? … ? What kind of evil spirit is this that can imitate the energy of a divine spirit? … ?”
The main character seemed to be worried about the existence of the corpse snake that suddenly appeared and disappeared, but I had no time to worry about such things.
The place where the corpse snake bit its head was my cheek, and its lips touched my cheek.
Why did it suddenly retreat, and what can it do in the future if it is presumed that it even shares the Blue Dragon’s feelings? Although it was a situation where I had to think about what to do to exorcise that evil spirit.
“I’ll rip off the flesh on your cheek that touched that crazy evil spirit. I’ll take it from the bathroom, so just stay a little while…… Oh, no. My stomach turns. “The smell of a dead body.”
“Eh. Sleep.”
The priority was to do something about this unpleasant sensation. I couldn’t hold back the vomit that was rising inside me and vomited it out on the floor.
I’ve been involved with all kinds of crazy bastards throughout my life, but I can’t believe I’ve also been involved with such a bastard and evil spirit. What crime have I committed to suffer like this?
The eyes of the crazy woman I saw as a child who stabbed and killed her promiscuous older sister remain a trauma to me, and it seems that it really touched her.
Sigh, but that bastard must have seen the same thing and played a game like this?
I will definitely kill that bastard who has the title of my brother. I gritted my teeth and vomited out what was inside.
