#8 – I am the enemy of the world
#8 – I am the enemy of the world (2)
One day, the prophecies of the gods suddenly started pouring out.
-Wilhelm Meyer will destroy the world.
– Heuksanhoe will awaken the calamity of the labyrinth.
-The southern part of the continent will soon come to an end.
All the gods prophesied to the believers.
– Run away. run away leave
-From the home of the minions of doom.
Flee from the Black Mountain Society, from the Meyer Kingdom, from the Black Mountain Society camp right now.
“You’re doing the same tricks.”
“boss. Are you really okay?”
“No worries. Since we did not follow the new camp, it is natural that we cannot receive help from their camp.”
He gently stroked Lina’s hair, looking at her with worried eyes. Still, there is something unsure about it. I gently stroked Lina’s chin instead of her head.
“…that doesn’t make you feel reassured, is it?”
“I’m sorry.”
It doesn’t matter because I feel good though.
“The members of the Church of Healing are also very upset. Thanks to the boss, they made a lot of progress, but they all left for the central region. There are a lot of adventurers who have gone up after the priests of healing.”
“Humans are inherently deceitful creatures. Some leaks are unavoidable. That doesn’t mean we’ll just put our hands on it and watch it.”
“Is there a way?”
“The power that the God of Healing has bestowed can only be given to the believers directly. It’s not that difficult.”
“Wow! After all, the boss is great!”
I decided on some of the powers I had been thinking about for a long time.
[The 1st level of power granted to believers at the 1st level of faith level has been determined to be ＜Strong Life>.]
Some injuries are the power to heal naturally. Although it cannot heal visible injuries like the healing power, it is possible to reduce fatigue and the aftereffects of injuries.
In addition, the power of vitality helps the body recover quickly after training and can conduct more intense training.
For the Church of Heuksan, where countless fighters are active mainly in the White Bow Martial Arts and White Bow Deep Gong, it is hard to find a more suitable power than this.
“But the boss’s strength is not his vitality.”
“You say something funny. So what do you think my strengths are?”
“Destruction! plunder! Murder!”
“… … .”
I know how much you treat me like a scumbag.
Yongke also had affection for such garbage.
The affection is heavy as I realize that it is the love that I receive after taking that into consideration. even a little bit scary
“Bo, boss… Why are you looking at Lina with those eyes?”
Oops. Now that the synchronization rate has increased, I forgot to show my expression on my face.
“Does the boss think of Lina as a relentless assassin?”
“What nonsense? You were an assassin from the beginning. And what I was afraid of was the dandruff on your head.”
“Wait, you lied! Don’t look! Silly. The boss is an idiot!”
His face turns red and he runs away.
There’s still the naive side.
No matter how much time passes, he looks young.
However, there is only one thing that doesn’t change.
A lot has changed these days.
NPCs worship me as a god, so they are careful about what I say, and gamers think of me as an NPC and don’t even want to flirt around.
As my status has changed, all of my subordinates have made great strides. Not everyone feels like the fresh newcomers of the past.
It’s more terrifying to deal with than that. The synchronization ratio is low, so even if the same poker face fails even a little, the world is very fussy and startled.
“Ugh! The boss wriggled his eyebrows while chewing the steak!”
“Oh My God! The boss, who was as expressionless as a golem chewing on bricks no matter what he ate, changed his expression during the meal!? There must have been poison in the steak!!”
“Get the chef right now! You priests of healing.. No, you got a detox potion from Brutus!”
I can’t even say that I was surprised because the steak was surprisingly delicious.
Never speak in such a serious atmosphere.
What if, after telling the truth, your subordinates are accommodating, thinking, ‘Now, my boss is eating steak and it’s delicious, so he’s a stinky bastard wriggling his eyebrows!’
Of course, not all subordinates are like Caesar or Lina.
Still, my subordinates are basically 50% of them. I don’t want to create an excuse to cause betrayal as much as possible because I don’t know which subordinates may have seizures and act unexpectedly.
“The only poison that can poison a boss who has reached the point of invincibility is the colorless, odorless, and intangible poison that has been passed down through legend. Ordinary antidote cannot cure it.”
“It’s a dog! So you can make a boss’s antidote, or you can’t!”
“It may be possible if it is a complete version of the Elixir that contains the power of God, rather than the degraded version of the Elixir that is being passed on to the continent. However, the full version of the Elixir can only be crafted by the Church of Healing.”
Kuro grabbed Brutus by the collar of the embarrassed Brutus, swept it away, and then dug up useful information. After the guild headquarters in the Empire collapsed along with the Empire, my loyalty to me has increased significantly.
“Wait a minute, boss! I will pursue Priest Muon by any means possible and obtain the complete Elixir!”
“Stop it.”
“Ugh! Boss, don’t say anything. Then, if the addiction gets worse, it’s a big deal. Preserve the body.”
It felt like yesterday when I was walking around the back alleys with Caesar and Lina on either side, but hearing the word okche is a new feeling.
“i get it.”
Still, I thought that the Church of Healing was too thick, and I’ll have to tear off the full version of the Elixir and let Alchemist Brutus mass-produce it.
He sent Kuro with such a dark heart, but the other subordinates looked a little uneasy about that alone.
“What if the Church of Healing takes advantage of this opportunity and puts the boss in trouble? It’s a great opportunity to kill the boss just by not giving up the Elixir.”
“How about looting the gods from the church that goes to the central part of the continent? I think it would be foolish to send them all away if they were a force that would become an enemy anyway.”
“I think that’s a good idea. What do you think, boss?”
The operation of the mosaic woman was also quite impressive.
“good night. I’ll leave the looting to the Mosaic girl. As a manager, I’ll give you a job.”
With this, even the energetic subordinates will be quiet for a while.
In the meantime, let’s develop the power of each stage.
I slowly started to work on power crafting.
* * *
Kuro is a common sense person. Basically, he is a gamer, and although he is not a top ranker, he is also a first-class ranker equivalent to that, so there is no room for problems caused by lack of common sense.
“you. Do you know what will happen to the elders of the guild when Wilhelm Meyer dies?”
“of course. We have already switched to Kuro-sama’s faction.”
“I have no desire to roll while being sucked down to the bone by the strict old people.”
Instead, it was a problem because it was too smart.
“If the Church of Healing that can manufacture Elixir is passed to the Central Allied Powers, it will become a powerful driving force for the elders of the guild to grow. It’s frustrating, but their financial resources are enough to mass-produce Elixir.”
“I will have to cut the buds.”
“Is it okay to kill all the priests, including Priest Muon, to close their mouths and make technology transfer impossible?”
Kuro shook his head.
“The Church of Healing is not unique to the Meyer Kingdom. There must be some sort of elixirs in other places. So we must rob the full version of the Elixir from Priest Muon.”
In the past two years, the order of the guild has been re-established centered on Kuro. Although the elder-level gamers who are recovering in the center of the continent claim to be the original source, they have lost a large number of CPs that they only have once.
The few gamers who follow Kuro still have a handover CP. This difference was huge indeed.
Thanks to this, Kuro created a new faction with the gamers who followed him, and succeeded in attracting new hackers to his control.
“I, by the way, if you are an NPC that is as big as a priest, I don’t think he will give you an elixir by force.”
“Hold the bucket. Some of us claim to be escorts, while others launch waves of waves, putting them in jeopardy. When the escort team gains credit and is asked to deliver an elixir, the goal is achieved.”
“indeed! All you need to do is to crush the priests of healing, including the Priest Muon, to the point where they can’t even lift their hands, and push it to the point where the divine power to be used for healing is exhausted.”
The basis for the plan was laid. Kuro went to see the Muon Priest.
As expected, the priest was wary.
“Did Wilhelm Meyer tell you to catch us?”
“no. Rather, he asked for an escort.”
“The escort? Are you going to let us go?”
“In consideration of your relationship with Priest Allin, you said that you would show your last mercy.”
“Umm… he certainly once took care of the people he belonged to.”
Priest Muon accepted the escort.
‘As planned.’
It was in the middle of Kuro’s rejoicing as he succumbed.
“The boss’s heart is grateful, but it doesn’t have to be.”
All of a sudden, Priest Allin roughly ripped off the mark of the Church of Healing on his robe.
“I stopped being a healer.”
“What…!?”
“If my devotion only gets in the way of the boss, I will gladly let it go. The boss is a great person who shouldn’t get caught up in someone like me.”
Priest Muon was disgusted and refused.
“What does that mean? Have you forgotten how much the God of Healing delighted in your devotion? Have you not gone from an intermediate priest to a higher priest, and furthermore, to a higher priest at an unprecedented speed?”
“Priest Muon is right. If it was a high-class priest, wouldn’t it be a position that would remain even if he became the next priest? You don’t have to.”
“… … !”
At Kuro’s support fire, Priest Muon bit his lip.
If you say that there is no such thing here, Kuro will change his words and kill Priest Muon. If he wanted to live, he had no choice but to guarantee the position of the next priest.
This is because the assassination corps led by the Black Mountain Society has unstoppable skills, and even if they are transferred to another faction, they cannot be free from the threat of the assassins.
“Yeah, that’s right. You will be the next chief priest.”
“Priest Muon will provide all support for you. Networks, resources, and divine power. Literally all the support.”
“Wow! Do you see now that I love you that much?”
“To the extent of swearing by the word of God.”
“shit! That’s right. I can swear by my words!”
Alain’s pupils trembled. The change that occurred in the heart was so strong that it showed signs enough to be detected with the naked eye. Alain has a high level of intelligence, so he understands the situation to some extent.
This means that Priest Muon wants to escape from the threat of life by conceding his position and many other things.
“no.”
Alain flatly refused.
“Priest Muon is flexible enough to not hesitate to even lay down his faith and power to survive. If he makes up his mind, he can somehow harm the camp of the Black Mountain Society.”
“No, what kind of bullshit! I just want to live!”
“It’s no use pretending to be shallow. I am confident that Priest Muon will somehow manage to save his life and return to the church headquarters to create a political risk by reporting the news that his life has been threatened.”
Kuro clenched his teeth. Because of Alain’s clumsy and clever remarks, it was now impossible to moderately appease Priest Muon.
“Hey, I don’t know! Kill them all!”
“Death to traitors!”
Priests of healing, including Priest Muon, met a tragic death. For those who had only healers, the damage exchange rate was desperately low, and in the end, everyone had no choice but to die.
As he trampled on countless dead bodies, Kuro let out a complicated sigh. Things got messed up, but you just need to get the Elixir.
“Priest Alain. Where is Elixir?”
“It’s at headquarters.”
“What? What is the branch keeping just in case?”
“Sent by delivery yesterday.”
“Shit! What kind of bullshit is that! There was no such thing as delivery here!”
It’s not that the fantasy world doesn’t have deliverymen. Although it is a form of leaving a long way to sell products and handing over mail. However, there is no such thing as a delivery person with high credibility to entrust the Elixir.
It was only natural that Kuro was startled. Alain frowned, but tried to answer calmly.
“There is a new delivery guild.”
“shit!”
Kuro sharpened his teeth.
Delivery guilds, it is clear that real-world delivery companies have expanded their feet into the game and are running their business based on their delivery experience.
He even considered the means of taking over the elixir by buying real people with money when he heard the brand.
“What is the name of the delivery guild?”
“The barbarians of delivery.”
“!!!!”
Kuro grabbed the back of his neck and collapsed.
Seeing him suddenly fainted, Alain was terribly surprised.
“Why did he suddenly pass out?”
The gamers belonging to the guild responded with gloomy faces instead.
“If it was Zenzen delivery, there would be room for reclaiming the Elixir by rotting things in the warehouse even after several months have passed.”
“The barbarian of delivery is based on same-day delivery. They’re as capable as they are, delivering deliveries on stormy days and earthquakes.”
“This is wrong. The Elixir must have already been delivered to the church headquarters.”
Just then, realizing the mobility of the barbarians of delivery, Alain could not contain his fear like the gamers belonging to the guild.
