109 – Fallen Hero (2)
A strong wind is blowing, and black haze is rising from all directions.
“I am… I am…!”
Morte, who was running towards me with black bloodshot eyes around his eyes, swung his sword in the air countless times.
-Chaaa!
The solid black lines drawn in an instant began to rush towards me.
“The first type of divine sword. “Soul cutting.”
As I chant and swing the sword of good and evil, a pure white horizon is drawn that fills my vision.
-Chaaa!
-Patter.
The black solid lines that flew in evilly split on the horizon line I drew, scattering black sediment like rain on the floor.
-Quaaang!
When I blocked Mort’s sword, which was approaching me with the sword of good and evil imbued with starlight, the magic energy and starlight collided, creating a loud explosion sound.

“···!”
Is it because I am not yet familiar with ‘Mana Burn’?
Or maybe it was because Mort was stronger than I thought.
Although it was a little bit, I was quite shocked as I looked at my sword that had been pushed aside by Mort’s sword, and I bit my lips to raise my mana even more.
-Boom! Bang! Bang!
With Mort’s sword striking my sword like angrily.
“He was a hero…! “He was a shameless human being…!”
I hear a hypocrite mumbling nonsense that I don’t want to hear.
“Why are you saying that to me? You f*cking idiot. Do you think that will make it so that what you did never happened? Do you think people will even acknowledge you?”
“K, keaaak!”
When I weakly refuted out of frustration, Mort made a noise like an animal and lunged at me even more fiercely like an animal.
‘Look at this?’
After bending down to avoid the sword, I leaned back for a moment and thought to myself.
This guy has become much stronger than expected.
Honestly, I was a little embarrassed.
Even if you didn’t deceive the scales,
Even if I’m not used to ‘mana burn’, that’s true.
When considering pure power, I never imagined that I would be pushed back even a little like I am now.
Is that all?
-Chrrr!
-aaah!
The black sludge that crawled over me wherever I moved and the thorns and tentacles that rose from the floor from time to time were not usually annoying.
“Are you just planning to run away?”
Mort came up to me once again and cried out, swinging his sword like a madman.
‘What is it…’
It would be better to fight efficiently by dodging swords rather than wasting strength by clashing swords.
After making that judgment, I thought to myself as I dodged Mort’s sword with a strange movement.
Will I be able to deceive the scales now and face the battle a little more easily?
Or should I deal with this ugly guy without deceiving the scales, even if it means going through a bit of trouble?
‘Anyway, there’s still some time left until Envy moves…’
I decided to choose the latter rather than ending the battle in a hurry, so I started burning mana more boldly than usual.
The mana that used to burn like a handful now burns as much as her fist.
The burned mana is in the form of vapor and her volume increases, and only a portion of that vapor is paid to Libra.
Unpaid steam becomes mana with a larger volume and belongs to me.
The same process is repeated, and the mana that was burning as much as her fist suddenly swells and swells, dwelling in my entire body.
The increased mana constantly circulates through my body and creates magic or is replaced by starlight.
‘Is this happening?’
As expected, I was of the practical field. When something that wasn’t working suddenly becomes possible, you start to feel embarrassed but also excited.
Lift the sword. Just like when he deceived the scales, he covered his body with countless acceleration and strengthening magics, and swung his sword at lightning speed with his hands that became as light as a feather.
Has he noticed this change in me? Mort’s eyes widened and he quickly changed his posture, meeting my swinging sword with his own.
-Kwasik!
I raised my sword sideways, and Mort’s foot, which blocked my sword, dug deep into the floor.
“Ugh…!”
Perhaps embarrassed by the sudden change in power, Mort made such a noise and frowned.
“It sounded like I was running away and I fell asleep.”
I didn’t want to see that ugly face, so I withdrew my sword and turned my body.
-Wow!
I threw out a foot full of mana and exploded the guy’s face. Mort’s head violently bends, and his body begins to stretch out into the distance.
-Quang!
The sound made by Mort’s body, which had been flying for a while, hitting a huge rock.
With fragments of the broken rock flying in the air and dust rising everywhere, Mort can be seen holding his heart as he struggles to get up.
“I try my best.”
When I saw that, I laughed at Mort and adjusted his posture.
Because, although I laughed at it, for me, who had encountered Mort through the game, the fact that Mort had grabbed his heart was not something to be taken lightly.
– Quad Deuk!
As Mort grabbed his hand, a creepy sound reached his ears.
-Quaaang!
An explosion sound is heard from Mort’s body, and dense magical energy is violently released from his body.
“Krrr ruk rurk ruk ruk….”
Morte raises his sword like an animal, losing focus in his eyes and dripping black saliva.
I have encountered Mort countless times in games, and I know why he changed like that.
‘Core runaway.’
Mortman’s technique of forcibly causing the core to run wild and bring out extreme abilities.
Although it has the disadvantage of temporarily losing one’s reason, it was also Mortmann’s secret technique that enabled Mort, who was full of inferiority complex, to maintain his reputation as a warrior.
‘It’s bloody.’
My body trembles at Mort’s ferocious spirit, which has clearly changed from before.
Is that all?
As I look at the black water rising up behind him like a tidal wave, my dry saliva gurgles and I swallow.
“What…”
Even so, the result would be the same.
-Crash.
-Grumbling.
Thinking like that, I sheathed the Sword of Good and Evil that I was holding in my right hand, pulled out another sword with my left hand, held it in reverse, and tilted it behind my waist.
Bend your knees and lean your body.
Put your left leg back and extend your right leg straight while applying strength to support your body.
Grasp the handle of the sword of good and evil, and spread countless starlight and mana through the scabbard, sword, and entire body.
After that, I calmly recite.
“Divine sword type 5.”
-Crash.
“Space Baldo.”
Search. The starlight contained in the scabbard and the starlight seeping into the sword cause friction. The dazzling appearance of the sword of good and evil separates a split second.
-Ssassy!
With a quiet sound reaching my ears.
When the mana concentrated in the soles of the feet explodes, the body shoots towards the target like a thunderbolt.
-Chaaa!
Swing the sword held in the right hand fully, rotate the body, and swing the sword held behind the waist continuously.
Space is cut and split. White cracks began to appear on all sides of Mort, who was approaching me with a menacing force.
“K, keaaak!”
Still, perhaps because he was a warrior in his own right, Mort, who seemed to sense something strange, did not panic, but swung his sword at the cracks that suddenly appeared and unleashed a torrent of black magical energy.
-Smurf.
“Krrr?!”
However, the pure white crack only silently absorbed Mort’s black magic energy and maintained its appearance.
As I was watching that, I raised the corners of my mouth and blurted out a fact that Mort did not know.
“You idiot. “You have to stop all of that.”
“···!”
Mort cockily did not answer.
No, to be precise, it would be correct to say that I couldn’t do it.
That’s because Mort was suddenly covered with countless sword energy and black magical energy pouring out from the pure white cracks that had formed all around him.
“K, keaaak!”
Morte howled and swung his sword without stopping.
But the more he swung the sword, the more all that was engraved on his body were countless pure white lines.
“aaah!”
Although it was an imperfect sin, were the Seven Deadly Sins actually the Seven Deadly Sins?
Mort screamed and released all the magical energy he had been holding.
-Quaaang!
A shock wave occurs, and white solid lines are swept away by the shock wave.
“Kaaak!”
Morte, who no longer looked like a human, rushed towards me, making a sound like an animal.
“Crrr?!”
Is it because he was definitely a warrior?
Unlike the grid we dealt with last time, Mort quickly stood up and swung his sword at the only crack that did not disappear, drawing a solid black line in the crack.
But.
-Ssassy!
The first transparent sword strike made a quiet sound, splitting the solid black line and heading towards Mort.
“Kruk…?!”
Morte looked down with disbelief at the pure white solid lines engraved on his body.
-Chaaa!
Black water spurts out along the solid line, and soon his body, cut in half, falls in vain on the floor.
“Kuuu!”
Like other sins committed against me, Mort cried out ugly and was in pain, and I began to slowly walk towards him.
“···?”
Then, I suddenly felt a sense of disconnect and had to tilt my head.
It was worth it. Because I couldn’t feel what this guy should have.
‘No nuclear weapons?’
No matter how hard I looked with my celestial eye, I could not see any crystals made of demonic energy on Mort’s body.
Did I look funny like that?
Mort, who was disappearing little by little, emitting a black haze, raised the corners of his mouth grotesquely and opened his lips.
“Kkkkkkkkk! Why are you making a goofy face? Because you can’t completely destroy me? “Do you want to know why?”
“···.”
“Didn’t you say it with your own mouth? “They call me an imperfect sin.”
After hearing those words, I finally understood why this guy did not contain the core of demonic energy.
‘You bastard…’
The reason is, as this guy said, this guy was an imperfect sin.
Incomplete sin. Although it is a sin, it is not properly recognized by the evil god, so its soul is captured by the evil god, and it is an unfortunate being that cannot exist as itself.
Until you become a complete sin and receive your soul from an evil spirit,
Or until you are abandoned by the evil spirit.
Their fate was entirely the evil spirit’s, and the end could not have been accomplished without the evil spirit’s permission.
‘If it weren’t for my teacher, I wouldn’t have known this.’
This is a fact I didn’t know when I was a gamer. As expected, the concept of imperfect sin did not appear in the game.
I held my aching head and thought of my teacher for the first time in a long time.
If my teacher hadn’t beaten me to this knowledge, how confused and lost would I be right now?
I was suddenly feeling grateful to my teacher, when Mort grinned at me and started saying unpleasant things.
“Or is it because you didn’t get my heart, the only key to freeing my courier? Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
