Ethan arrived at the epicenter of the noise with his guide driver.
“You are Priest Ethan.”
There was Garrett, the lord of Graytown.
The surrounding walls and floors were dug everywhere.
It was like scratching the claws of a giant beast.
It seems that he has undergone mutations several times in the past.
Garrett sat down, leaning against the wall, exhausted.
“It must be the lord who did this.”
“ha ha ha. you’re right.”
Garrett smiled kindly despite Ethan’s harsh expression and joking around.
“What happened to my knights?”
“I took care of it.”
Garrett nodded with a look of helplessness and resignation.
‘The priest sent you well. Now there are no worries left.’
The knight who saw it realized that Garrett had made a big mistake.
“Sir, this is a misunderstanding. Actually, they… … !”
It was the moment when the article was about to tell the truth.
“Ugh!”
Seongju’s arms began to twist bizarrely.
Again, there was a mutation.
“Priest, please take my life! Before I lose consciousness!”
Garrett’s voice is now starting to mix with the monster’s bizarre voice.
Garrett groaned in agony.
“I don’t want to die as an ugly beast!”
From his point of view, it was a natural request.
Because Ethan didn’t know yet that he could break the curse.
But Ethan just put his hand on the scene and watched.
The knight hurriedly grabbed Ethan’s shoulder.
“Priest, why are you still? The curse of the Holy Lord must be removed!”
“Not yet.”
“What are you talking about?”
Ignoring the prompting article, Ethan asked Garrett a question.
“I met the witch who was holding back your curse. What are you going to give the witch?”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?!”
Garrett was bewildered, and the knight rushed to Ethan.
But Ethan was still calm.
“I asked him what he paid for suppressing the curse of the beast. And how did you know and bring her in in the first place?”
“If you’re a witch, are you talking about that red-haired wizard?”
“okay.”
It was hard to stay sane, so Garrett closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.
“He came here on his own. He also proposed to suppress the curse. When he said he wanted to repay the favor, he said he didn’t want anything in return.”
Even in an emergency, Ethan asked everything he had to ask.
‘I don’t think it’s a lie.’
For what advantage did you tell lies before you die?
If so, I didn’t quite understand it.
‘Is the witch that came out of that mouth the witch I know?’
The Scarlet that Ethan knew was a collection of all kinds of destructive personalities.
Such a witch helped the lord without asking for anything in return?
It was absurd.
Ethan’s troubled eyes narrowed.
‘There must be one more factor that I am not aware of.’
But as of now, I didn’t know that.
It was just a matter of finding out the truth of the situation.
That was then.
“Ugh… Huh… … .”
Garrett, struggling to breathe for a while, eventually lost his temper and ran to Ethan.
Whoa! Whoa!
Ethan and Garrett clashed.
* * *
bang!
There was a big shock.
Garrett’s mutation was not yet complete.
The features of the ugly beast appeared everywhere, such as teeth getting sharper and nails getting longer.
But oddly enough, Garrett didn’t turn into a completely ugly beast.
‘There is one more thing to check.’
Ethan’s eyes lit up.
After finding out about the deal with the witch, Scarlett, there was only one thing left.
‘A completely mutated form of an ugly beast. You should check it out.’
Since it was a serious situation until now, the Jokjok Baro who found an ugly beast in the basement lifted the curse.
But now, only the lord was cursed.
So Ethan tried to see how the ugly beast was different from what it was a hundred years ago through the castle lord.
‘This is enough, I’ve seen everything in the process of mutation.’
Ethan reduced the divine power in his hand.
The divine power used when he collided with Garrett slowed down Garrett’s mutation speed.
However, having confirmed the mutation in the intermediate stage with his own eyes, Ethan reaped the divine power.
Now it was time to observe the completely transformed state.
That was then.
Crumple!
Garrett roared in a grotesque voice and turned into an ugly beast.
It looked the same as the ones I had seen in the basement so far.
“Priest, are you going to make the Holy Lord become a monster and die?!”
The knight rebuked Ethan.
But Ethan muttered to himself.
‘yet. Not yet.’
It was just a fragment of an ugly beast.
To see the whole of the ugly beast, I had to stimulate it even more.
puck!
Ethan struck Garrett’s heart with a single blow.
When his heart ruptured, Garrett died instantly.
“Holy Lord!”
The knight was startled and tried to run to Garrett.
But Ethan stretched out his arm and blocked it.
“I’m not going to die like this.”
“I’m not playing with it, what the hell is this?!”
In the end, the knight could not stand it and vomited.
I was enduring because the lifesaver was doing it, but I couldn’t stand it any longer.
The knight shook Ethan’s arm and walked over to Garrett.
However.
twitch wiggle.
The body of the ugly beast, which had stretched out without strength, began to twist violently.
“What, what?”
The knight stepped back in surprise.
The form of the ugly beast, which once died and then resurrected, was different from before.
A mane rose from the nape of his neck like a lion.
The muscles all over his body swelled like he was about to explode.
‘right. That’s how you can say it’s a really ugly beast.’
Ethan laughed inwardly.
That was the true face of the ugly beast that played a major role in the Anti-Magic War a hundred years ago.
In the meantime, I discovered something peculiar.
“What, those eyes?”
It wasn’t Ethan’s voice.
It was the sound of the knight who checked the third eye on the forehead of the ugly beast that had undergone final transformation.
And even Ethan was greatly astonished to see it.
‘This is the first stool I’ve ever seen.’
It was a mutation that had never been seen a hundred years ago.
So, I couldn’t figure out what the third eye did.
‘I’ll have to check it out myself.’
It was an important clue to the enemy who was hiding in Miles.
Ethan put his thoughts together and blew up a new model.
* * *
The sound of footsteps wandering through the dark underground passage echoed.
“Obviously this way.”
It was Vivian.
The basement of the fortress was a place made to imprison people and prevent them from escaping.
Therefore, the structure had to be complicated.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian closed her eyes and pricked her ears.… Quang!
A loud noise was heard from far away.
“It’s over there.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian started running, using the sound as a guide.The closer I got, the more I realized that it was the sound of a battle.
Realizing the identity of the sound, Vivian was nervous.
‘If you do it wrong, you could get involved in a battle. Let’s be careful.’
Moments later, Vivian arrived at the epicenter of the noise.
Her eyes widened.
‘Hey, what the hell is that?!’
It wasn’t the person Ethan was fighting.
it was a beast
There was a mane on the nape of his neck, and his nails were long and sharp as a weapon.
The muscles all over his body were tense as if they were about to explode.
The battle between Ethan and the beast was very intense.
Even if one of them died right away, it wouldn’t be strange.
That was then.
“Lady, that is dangerous. Come this way!”
A suffocating voice came from the corner.
There, a knight was hiding behind cover.
But Vivian couldn’t move even a single step from the spot.
He was mesmerized by the battle unfolding before his eyes.
It was the first time for Vivian to fight a battle that took place after Ethan’s skill had grown further.
So I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the wonder.
“People like us cannot get involved in a battle like that. It’s going to get in the way, so you better evacuate with me.”
That was when the knight urged Vivian.
There was something strange in Vivian’s eyes.
‘what?’
She was a remnant of the old empire, with a slight magical power.
There was something that only Vivian’s eyes could see.
“My magic… Are you taking it away?”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian muttered blankly.He had confirmed with his own eyes that another eye on the ugly beast’s forehead was stealing her magic.
That moment.
puck!
Ethan suddenly stopped attacking and kicked the ugly beast away.
Then he stood still and looked at Vivian.
Like someone who realized something unexpected.
* * *
The battle was in full swing.
The number of popular ships, which was the only one nearby, increased to two.
Ethan confirmed that it was Vivian.
‘Why are you here again?’
Ethan’s brow narrowed.
I never imagined that Vivian would come here.
‘He’s a real goal hitter.’
I should have known the regent’s daughter from the time she began her journey with the remnants of the empire.
Ethan clicked his tongue low.
‘I still haven’t figured out what that eye does.’
So to Ethan, Vivian was no less than an uninvited guest.
At least until you hear it.
“My magic… Are you taking it away?”
It was a small mumble.
But Ethan’s sensitive hearing caught even the smallest sound.
‘no way?’
As soon as a guess came to mind, Ethan kicked the ugly beast with his feet.
Until now, the reason that the attack of the ugly beast was allowed was because of information gathering.
But it was no longer necessary.
This is because there is a corner where Vivian’s words can be pointed out.
Ethan awakened his jet-black eyes.
Then I could see the magic from Vivian flowing into the ugly beast.
Ethan’s eyes widened.
Although it was a very small amount, the ugly beast was taking away Vivian’s magical power.
It was then that Ethan realized what the third eye was doing.
“I have to finish it now.”
Ethan blew a new model.
His new form turned to a fiercely ugly beast.
Crumple!
The ugly beast tried to break the momentum by attacking Ethan, as it had done before.
But Ethan easily evaded all those attacks.
This is because there is no need to induce the attack of the ugly beast now.
Dodging all the attacks, Ethan went into the arms of the ugly beast.
‘It’s not okay to kill.’
And instead of the heart, it hit the ship.
bang!
It made the same noise as hitting the floor or wall, not the body of a living creature.
However, the ugly beast just paused for a moment despite the attack, and immediately resumed the attack.
‘If these guys were released outside, there would be no people left in the fortress.’
Ethan once again struck the organ of the ugly beast.
bang!
Whoops, krrr… … .
As they were attacked from within, the ugly beast collapsed on the spot.
Confirming that he had completely collapsed, Ethan placed his hand on the ugly beast’s body.
I felt Vivian and the knight approaching from behind.
Both were unable to speak and held their breath.
‘I wonder why he came here, but now is not the time to ask that.’
The first thing to do was to restore Garrett, who had turned into an ugly beast.
Ethan created divine power in his hand.
Paah!
The divine power concentrated in his hands soon enveloped the entire body of the ugly beast.
‘New Plaguecaster, it seems that his skills are inferior to Kha’Zix.’
