Yeeun Lee patted her forearm as if trying to calm her trembling body for a moment.
It was the moment when the identity of the ominous energy that had been constantly felt was revealed.
Although the thorns covering Yoo Ji-hyuk’s body contained the energy of the World Tree, it was not.
There could be no such thing as a world tree.
And she seemed to understand why Yoo Ji-hyuk’s energy was so weak.
There is no way a human being who fought in such a thing would be okay.
Sbangali and Minerva.
The more he was related to the Seven Evils, the more his body was deteriorating, and even the woman watching from the side could tell.
have to stop
With that in mind, she began to infuse the power of the arrows across the protest.
She wasn’t the only one who thought it was ominous.
Han Soo-young, who is observing the situation while wiping a nosebleed from distorting the mighty power, and Jin Ye-seul, who is looking at only Yoo Ji-hyuk while moaning at the pain that seeps into the bones on her right arm.
Hyeon-woo Choi, who endured the pain and stood up from the wreckage with a broken sword.
Ivan Hunt, who is waiting by summoning the power of the spirits, leaves behind his magical powers and is ready to go out to help Yoo Ji-hyeok at any time.
Ahn Do-hoon overcame the risk of death.
Ahn Joo-hyuk, and even Belluna.
All of them thought that the aura that was now felt in his body was ominous.
And Ahn Joo-hyuk, who noticed that Yoo Ji-hyuk’s appearance had changed, was feeling it even more sensitively.
‘As my appearance changed, my energy grew stronger… This ominousness is like… .’
It’s like watching another seven evil bells.
I have a lot to talk about when this is over, he thought as he took a step forward.
“Let’s move places.”
With those words, Minerva kicked the ground and flew towards Yoo Ji-hyeok, as if others were not paying attention.
And as it was, he rushed at him like a cavalry that charged his horns.
He reached out and grabbed her horns to try to stop her, but it was too much to stop her, who had already gained momentum, by standing still.
Yoo Ji-hyuk could see that she was much stronger than himself with pure physical strength.
Perhaps it was because all the stats were lowered due to the penalty.
It was time for him to sharpen his teeth and try to somehow stop her.
“Come on, let’s go together.”
Suddenly, huge wings like those of the devil exploded from her back.
And with the flapping of its wings, it blew away the people who were running behind her back, leaving scars everywhere.
“Come on, come on. Come when you say good things.”
[Isn’t this a good thing from your point of view?]
Yoo Ji-hyeok said so and pushed her horns away, but immediately grabbed her hands and grabbed her, followed by her tail clasping his body.
As soon as he caught him, Minerva flew straight up and began to fly without looking back.
He held onto him tightly, lest he might miss it.
[Twitter… !]
It was when he pulled out a thorn spear and tried to attack her defenseless.
[Your inner voice interrupts you!]
[The implementation of the thorn spear is canceled.]
[Damn, really!]
As he struggled as he burst into anger at the notification window that appeared in front of him, Minerva spoke in a voice that resembled beast scolding with a bitter sound.
“Uh-huh, don’t use bad words. Didn’t you tell me that too?”
[Don’t gossip, just put it down!]
Hearing his reflexive cry, Minerva gave a slight smile and an alluring expression.
“Yeah, don’t do that.”
[…] uh?]
And without hesitation she let go of the hand that was really holding him.
It was so high that I couldn’t even feel how high it was.
He fell helplessly, and Minerva followed him like a glide.
* * *
[Aww… .]
Trapped in the rubble while smashing a high-rise building, I got up from my seat, moaning.
When he fell from the air, he tried to escape by making a swamp and portal with Henir’s shadow, but at that moment, Minerva kicked him in the back like a ghost and was thrown into the building.
[Do you need my help?]
[No need, your help.]
I nodded at Sbangali’s words.
[Damn Margot, can you suppress the voice that is coming from him or something? Their interference isn’t that annoying.]
He answered my request.
[Don’t do that. Then you will have to be immersed in your deep mind for a while, so even if you create a thorn bird like before, I won’t be able to help you. Did you understand?]
[okay.]
[And I found out something about her.]
Sbengali was loud and made a sound like clearing her throat.
[The figure of a human fighting you now and the figure of a dragon raging outside are both the main body, and she is herself. I don’t know how she did it, but she seems to have gained new powers… There, the two shared a condition or wound with each other.]
[So if one side falls, the other will also fall, right?]
[Yes. The reason I was able to tie her up earlier was because of the intentional runaway of the seeds of the World Tree that you planted earlier. For some reason, what was planted in the dragon’s state was also planted in her human body. And when the seeds that had served their role faded, the ones planted in the dragon’s body also faded.]
I nodded quietly.
What he said was very valuable information.
[Yeah, that’s enough now. Good job.]
[…] Good luck. Then I will disappear to do your request.]
With those words, I could feel the presence of Sbangali, which I had always felt, gradually disappearing as if it were melting away.
In a strange and unfamiliar sense, after waiting for a while, I used the other side of Margot’s power.

Overlaid was myself in another world who wielded swords.
I didn’t have a sword to wield right now, but he was a person who had mastered the fighting skills to the point where he wouldn’t be pushed by Jin Ye-seul.
It could be said that it was the most effective memory in the present situation.
In the process, I glanced at the status window.
And I don’t know at what moment, but I was able to confirm the explanation of the changed power ‘the other side’.
― The voices of other beings are heard from within. (You are clearly in control, and you have already succeeded in bringing it into complete submission…)
― Under the influence of another force, the submissive and mere silenced voices begin to show animosity towards you, who murdered and devoured them. They are malicious and crafty, and they will also effectively sabotage you. (Currently, it is being suppressed by external factors.)
Sbangali, it was just as he said.
As he said, at some point, Margo’s power was changing.
As he said, was this really taking over my mind?

Or is it that the powers are overlapping and accumulating in my body, causing them to react to each other?
There are only two now, but if more than this starts to pile up… .
“Do you have time to think about something else?”
[…] Shit!]
Minerva jumped out of the wall in an instant and bowed to avoid the tail wielded by him.
Then she flapped her wings, and the place was covered in dust, and she couldn’t tell an inch ahead.
Immediately, Henir’s shadow spread wide and thin under his feet.
back.
A loud roar erupts as I slap her thigh with my knee, avoiding her piercing hand aiming at my heart.
Minerva took a few steps back, spilling half-broken scales.
Then, he burst into laughter and rushed in loudly enough to be heard from this side.
“Okay, focus on me! To me, only to me! I won’t even give you time to think about anything else, honey! Think only of me and focus all your attention on me!”
Suddenly she turned and flew her tail like a whip.
I shot it with my knees and elbows at the same time, just in time.
Then she let out a short moan and hastily retrieved her half-tattered tail.
[Where are you going? Come on, let’s play with me.]
As she clenched her tail and grabbed her with both hands, for some reason her face seemed to turn red and angry.
“Gee, where are you touching now, you bastard!”
[Cool!]
Suddenly, something out of sight hit his head and he reflexively crouched.
After a while, I realized that it was her wings that struck me, and right after that, she was digging into my body.
And I could realize that it was already too late to do anything.
Quang!
With the same momentum she rushed in, I stood up on my shoulders and slammed into my chest without remorse.
Despite the squeezing pain in my lungs, I reflexively turned and swung my leg towards her neck.
Boo-wook, there was the sound of something tearing.
“Ah, the clothes… !”
For a moment, Minerva screamed bitterly and grabbed the dress with her side torn off.
Then, with a sigh, biting his lip, he started examining the dress.
Could it be that the clothes are not her body changes?
Thinking like that, I was holding my breath with a rough cough.
“… I cannot forgive you!”
As she cried out, suddenly she bowed her head and pointed out her horns at me.
It was time to draw out the shadows and the world tree, wondering if he was going to rush in again like before.
[What crazy!?]
But contrary to my expectations, something like a beam spurted out of her horns.
It was probably fired with high concentration of magic.
It had a bright red color that could be seen from a distance, and it spread out in various directions like a diffuse reflection.
It was not the kind of attack that could be avoided.
He raised his arms to protect his heart and head, but one step earlier, his thighs and shoulders were pierced.
A scream erupted from the pain, as if it were sticking chopsticks in a fire.
[Okay… !]
“It’s a long way, it’s still a long way away!”
As she cried out, she ran to me and pretended to wield something.
At the moment’s chilling premonition, he hurriedly bowed down and rolled forward and got out of the spot.
A sharp yet dull sound.
It was the sound I made when I was holding my sword and cutting through the air.
[What, where the hell did that come from?]
As she looked at the sword in her hand and murmured as if it was ridiculous, she said with an incredulous expression on her face.
“It is a sword made of my own body. It melted my bones inside my body and put scales on the surface to make it a blade.”
And she took that crude sword and pointed it at me.
It was like a medieval nobleman’s action before a duel, and he looked stylish and sophisticated.
“Come on, you too, take out your weapon. And you want to get entangled with me again.”
[…] … .]
Hearing her words, without a word, he pulled out the spear of the thorn tree.
This time, there were no intruders to disturb.
For a moment, her sword and my spear collided without warning.
Even though they were weapons made of twigs, bones, and scales, each time they bumped into each other, they scattered fire with a loud noise.
“… This is it!”
Dodging the spear passing through her neck, Minerva exclaimed in a voice full of joy.
“Yes, this is it! This is it, darling! I mean, I’ve been waiting for this day! For the day that I risked everything and bumped into you, the only one I acknowledged!”
[Then why don’t you just fall down after you grant your wish… !]
“Ahaha! It can’t be!”
Minerva smiled brightly.
Then, the window that had been knocked down did not come back.
Minerva, she was slamming her spear with her tail and trampling it barefoot.
“My dear!”
With a few shouts, the sword that Minerva had fired flew right at the heart.
And I raised my left arm like a shield and smiled a little.
It was right now.
“Ah!?”
She let out a low, startled scream.
Not only that, he even lost the sword he was holding in his hand.
It was thanks to the newly acquired skill, the mirror of counterattack.
Mirror of Counterattack is a defensive skill that consumes mana to create a kind of magical shield.
Above all else, the shield made with mana had the ability to return the opponent’s attack.
[Let’s finish this now.]
The thorn spear changed and gripped her ankles and legs.
This time, this side built the capital and threw it straight at her heart.
But the blow of my conversion was caught on her horn and was missed.
[Crazy, to block it with horns at that moment?]
“What surprises you, it was none other than the method you taught me!”
With those words, the red beam from her horn just before burst out.
It was so close that I couldn’t avoid it.
“Ego!”
For a moment, she threw herself into the air without missing the gap in which I was crippled, and she spun around and kicked me as it was.
[Ugh!]
As a result, the floor of the building was smashed, and I was thrown downstairs.
“Ugh!”
[ね!]
In an instant, she fell right over me and rolled over to dodge the slap with both knees.
In the midst of that, her strong foot pierced deep into her stomach.
“Ugh… !”
Unexpectedly, the pain was so deep that Minerva clasped her stomach and staggered back.
It was only then that I was able to get up and get my posture right.
The two of us, who had been in a state of silence for a while, looked at each other while holding our breath.
“This… .”
Minerva muttered quietly as he lowered the hand that was holding her stomach.
“You don’t know how long I have been waiting for this situation, do you?”
[…] … .]
“Venus, Juno. When fighting those two… Never had I been so excited when fighting all the powers of a country, or fighting a great hero known as the Dragon Slayer. You are the only one who lifts me up like this, dear.”
Although each other’s wounds were covered, Minerva didn’t look tired at all.
In the meantime, Sbangali said that the only person who could benefit from a long war with her was Venus, a member of the Seven Evil Species.
[haha… .]
Now I understand why she wasn’t the target.
If she had appeared as an enemy to be defeated, no one would have been able to clear the game.
It was in the midst of such a foolish thought.
“It’s still a long way off. The night is still far away, the sun is far from setting, and the days are still long.”
She was smiling.
“My dear. hang out with me a little more Tomorrow if possible, the day after tomorrow if possible, and the next day. Whenever possible.”
I didn’t answer anything.
Then, while looking at me, she quietly opened her mouth.
“Dear, that armor of yours… It must have been reconstructed for you by absorbing the power of Sbangali, right?”
[…] … .]
Minerva had eyes that looked somewhat bitter.
“As long as you use that power… no, we As long as the energy of the Seven Evil Species is entangled even a little, you cannot be called an ordinary human being. For the rest of my life I will be bound by that curse. look at you In fact, isn’t it too different from a normal human being? It’s funny that I’m saying this now, but I’m worried about you all of a sudden and I can’t stand it.”
[…] So, what do you want to say? Why don’t you just throw away this image and just become a pure human being?]
“No way.”
Minerva let out a small laugh.
“Now I want to give up my human form and just hang out with you.”
With those words, her appearance began to change.
“The human body that I was able to get because of you and that I wanted to get because of you.”
It was like when I used the thorn king.
As if covering her body, which had the appearance of a half-human, half-dragon, something like armor woven from black gray and crimson scales began to sprout.
“More than that, I can now even copy that image.”
So muttering, she fell on her face as if she had fallen forward.
The scales that wrap around her body.
Even though they were far away, the sharpness seemed to cut their skin.
[…] Besides, isn’t it the wish of all the disciples to show off their achievements to the master?]
Before long, Minerva in the form of a dragon was in front of me.
Compared to the guy who was running rampant outside the building, it was just small in size.
no… .
It looked sharper, more daunting, and more powerful than that.
[Hey, this is a foul.]
I mumbled that without realizing it, and reflexively raised my spear towards the newly powerful enemy.
