The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

118.

As I went on the offensive, the frenzy intensified.

The wind that seems to blow me away at any moment covers my eyes.

At that moment, the guy moved.

bang!

My sword clashes with the devil’s claw that has turned into a lion’s.

Those sharp claws were not those of an ordinary beast.

Reinforced by the power of Pajuju, it was like metal that even the sword was not scratched.

Moreover, the power contained therein was so strong that the arm holding the sword staggered for a moment.

At this, I frowned.

The difference in strength between them was clear.

It means that you are falling behind in your basic skills.

but… that was weird

Thanks to tradition, skills, and items, there shouldn’t be a shortage of abilities against level 70 enemies.

Could it be that the magic of Angra Mainyu, the evil spirit of Zoroastrianism dwelling in the forbidden book, is strengthening Pajuju once again?

The synergy between evil gods was not even funny.

“key-“

On the other hand, Mine must have noticed his superiority with a single blow, and immediately attacked with ferocious momentum.

The beast’s claws, wrapped in a feverish wind, aimed at my throat.

bang! Kwakwang!

In an instant, dozens of workshops come and go.

Like a beast, it charged me with its claws, and I blocked the charge with an electrified slash.

His movements were, indeed, bold and ingenious.

Along with the power generated by the lion’s upper body, of course, the rapid acceleration by moving the wings.

Even in the air, I applied a craze and showed off my counterattack, avoiding my counterattack with only minor injuries.

In another world, it looks like a combination of the fighting styles of various beastmen.

“Hoo… ”

I don’t know if that level was the instinct of a beast or a martial art possessed by a god, but it was a decent level in its own way.

But maybe Mine didn’t like the increasing injuries one by one.

“Kiyi!”

He raised his claws with a grotesque voice.

And Mine spread his four wings wide and kicked the ground.

Intense heat wind pushes the back of the flash-like speed created by the enormous leg power.

What it pursues is an extremely reckless charge.

The one who turned his entire body into a cannonball rushed at me at a speed that was incomparable to that of before.

“… !”

Did you go for a win?

But there was no reason to avoid it.

I just raised my sword.

A faint light permeates the blade in the silence.

What is loaded onto that sword is Garula’s tradition.

Then, the power of the sacred bird that destroys the evil spirits dwelled in the human sword.

And the fleeting moment of bumping into him.

I saw several sword blades to shake off the accelerating claws.

A clear flash passed through the sword exactly.

“key-“

Crack!

The demon’s scream overlapped with the rupture of metal being shattered.

Blood gushed out from the cracks in the skin.

Finally, there was a big wound on his forepaw.

However, the eyes of Mine and Pajuju were still full of poison.

what else is there

the moment you sensed it.

Wedge!

The scorpion tail, which had been silent until now, finally moved.

The tail was bent like a skewer and flew towards me, who had only let go of his shock.

I guess I was aiming for this from the beginning.

But I also had a solution.

The walls of Jericho.

Although it is an evil god, it is not a very effective countermeasure because it will contain the divine.

If he sacrificed his spiritual power, he could have prevented such a one-time attack.

Kwakwang!

Along with the impact as if struck by a mace, an invisible shield blocks the tail.

My spiritual power escaped in pieces, but my body was fine.

Then, a slight bewilderment showed in the eyes of the man who passed me and stepped on the ground again.

“Kiyi… ”

Is it because the number of victories that mobilized even the tail of the spleen turned into a failure?

Mine, who had corrected his stance, did not charge aggressively any more.

Rather, as if to watch my response, they are wary of me with only their claws raised.

It seems that I have finally measured my skills a little bit.

“So am I going?”

This time I rushed.

Then, he reacted sensitively to this and spread his wings.

It wasn’t for an attack.

Mine flapped her wings at my ensuing sword attack, hurriedly pulled back, and protected herself with the hot wind again.

I was about to catch up to this, but I stopped for a moment.

“That’s a bit cumbersome… ”

I clicked my tongue lightly.

The craze was a problem.

The heat in it was negligible, but not as much as the wind.

In a storm like that, he could have lost his balance and been blown away if he charged at all.

So I immediately used ＜Technology Steal – Mind’s Eye＞.

It was to seal the craze itself and put an end to it.

however.

“doesn’t exist… ?”

What was on the list of skills were not Pajuju’s skills, but trivial things that Mine would have originally had.

So I checked the log window.

＜Compared to the target’s divinity, the progress of interpreting the forbidden book is too low.＞

＜Current analysis progress: 33%＞

＜Please raise the level of your interpretation skill.＞

A sentence like that floated.

In other words, Pajuju’s deity is too high to be displayed.

And now that I think about it, I think it was like this the last time I dealt with a main-level naga.

“… I can’t help it.”

So what should I do now?

While thinking about the countermeasure for a while.

He used his wings to fly upward in the frenzy.

Are you going to run away?

Recalling the bad development, I looked up at the sky where he stood.

Standing with her back to the shining crescent moon, Pajuju looked down at me with an arrogant gaze.

The moment when I want to drop lightning from the sky.

“hmm… ?”

The crescent moon behind Pajuju’s wings caught my eye.

I remembered the lycanthrope technique engraved on the human sword.

-Lycanthrope: Obtains a berserk debuff and turns into a werewolf. All stats +300% when transformed. Spiritual energy consumption 50.

“It’s a transformation… ”

The effect itself was good.

Raising all stats by three times was a simple but shocking effect.

Instead, it consumed a lot of spiritual power, and the fact that it turned into a werewolf bothered me, so it was a skill I had never actually used.

Usually, it’s more convenient to just drop a thunderbolt or something.

But this time it was different.

Since he was a flying enemy, it was questionable whether he would calmly receive a thunderbolt, and more than anything, he needed the strength to overcome that craze.

“… Try it, what.”

So I activated the lycanthrope.

Then, I felt the pulsation of my muscles all over my body.

* * *

“Ah… ”

Inspector Eun Si-young of the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency sighed as she carried three of her fallen comrades through a mountain road to a safe place.

Fortunately, my colleagues only lost consciousness for a moment.

There appeared to be no major injuries that were life threatening.

So, she immediately requested the current location and support from the Busan Office and put down the walkie-talkie.

“… … ”

The noise of battle could still be heard in the distance.

Eun Si-yeong recalled the moment when Ma-in suddenly changed.

He was obviously not that strong.

The moment the craze hit, something changed.

However, I did not know what the source of the change was.

Did you say inspector Kang Jin-woo?

I don’t know where it came from all of a sudden.

After all, he was in charge of the battle after that.

“now… ”

Eun Si-young crossed her arms and twitched her eyebrows.

He told her to wait in the rear.

However, I have already brought all my colleagues and notified the headquarters of this location.

So there was no reason for her to keep waiting here.

It would have been better to join him now than to just wait for the soon-to-be rescue team.

Thinking so, she grabbed her weapon, the rapier, and headed back to the battlefield.

A fierce plosive was still heard from the front.

However, the appearance of the battlefield that soon came into her eyes was very different from her expectations.

“What’s over there… ?”

Eun Si-young muttered with a shocked expression.

There was no police officer named Kang Jin-woo.

There are only two monsters.

Among them, the one floating in the sky was Pajuju, a demon with wings.

It flapped its four wings and looked down at the ground in a whirlwind of heat.

And it was the first monster I had ever seen that jumped up from the ground, broke through the heat wave, and grabbed Paju-ju’s neck.

Its appearance is that of a typical werewolf.

However, the armament was strange.

The werewolf was wearing a torn police uniform. On one side, he even wears a sword.

like… Inspector Kang Jin-woo, whom I saw a while ago, seemed to have become a werewolf.

“Kiyi!”

Pajuju cried out in pain and twisted desperately in the sky.

However, regardless of this, the werewolf clung to Pajuju tightly.

Then, with the other hand, he ripped off Pajuju’s wings roughly.

“Hick… ”

Eun Si-yeong gasped at the creepy sound of her skin being forcibly torn.

The werewolf threw Pajuju’s torn wings at random.

It landed right in front of Eun Si-yeong.

Large black wings.

Its roots were stained with ghastly blood.

“Kiyiyyyyyy!”

The intense pain made Pajuju go mad.

It flew erratically through the air like a dragonfly with its wings torn off.

But werewolves had no mercy.

The werewolf, who ripped off the other wing without hesitation, hit the face of the falling Paju with its fist countless times.

In the process, a frenzy raged that constantly scorched the ground, but it couldn’t even burn the werewolf’s hair.

“… … ”

Eun Si-young could not help but stare at the bizarre sight with astonishment.

That Pajuju was definitely the demon he was chasing.

However, when helping the werewolves fighting this, their feet did not fall off easily.

After all, aren’t werewolves monsters?

Besides, that werewolf is overwhelming Pajuju.

If it’s a monster that strong, if it’s hostile, it won’t even be an opponent like you.

then… Should I run away like this?

While she is so conflicted.

“Kiyiyi!”

The werewolf stepped on the back of Pajuju who had fallen to the ground with one foot and forcibly tore off the last wing.

Then came the harsh voice of the werewolf.

“… I can’t fly anymore.”

Surprisingly, the werewolf said so.

No, is it the problem that I can’t fly?

Eun Si-yeong thought so without even realizing it.

That’s why Pajuju, whose wings had been ripped off, was doing something unsightly.

“Ah, the tail.”

However, as if that were not enough, the werewolf pulled out even the scorpion tail that was on Pajuju like pulling a sweet potato stem from the ground.

Eun Si-young couldn’t help but look away from that scene.

Only the screams of the miserable Pajuju could be heard from the spot.

And looking at the werewolf again, the werewolf was taking something out of Pajuju.

it was a book

Then the book disappeared like melting snow, flowing into the werewolf.

“… … ”

Perhaps satisfied with that, the werewolf nodded and pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist.

A small sword compared to the size of a large werewolf.

The werewolf lifted it up and aimed at the scattered paju.

But before it moves.

“hmm?”

The werewolf’s nose moved.

At the same time, an eerie intuition passed through Eun Si-young’s head.

The craze had completely subsided now.

That craze is an obstacle that has prevented her from easily setting foot on the battlefield.

But is that all?

In a way, the frenzy may have been hiding her body odor from that werewolf.

That thought came to me only now.

And according to that intuition.

The werewolf’s gaze immediately turned to Eun Si-yeong, who was behind the tree.

“eww… OMG… ”

Seeing that sharp gaze, she involuntarily took a backward step.

At Eun Si-yeong’s feet, she could see the wings of Paju-ju that had been ripped off earlier.

The blood on the wing instigates Eun Si-young’s fear.

“What is there-”

“aaagh!”

So, she didn’t listen to the werewolf and ran away screaming.

It descends at several times the speed of when it climbed up the mountain road that it had been difficult to climb.

And after that, the werewolf stared blankly.

* * *

“What is that?”

I looked behind someone who had gone screaming.

It must be the same person I saw earlier.

did you come back?

“If you came back, you came, why are you screaming and chaos… ”

I stopped muttering like that and finally checked my condition.

My current form is a werewolf.

In addition, he tore off Pajuju’s wings with his bare hands, and his whole body was covered in blood.

“… … ”

Indeed, it was misleading.

But I have something to say.

There was a reason for not using the sword.

It was because his body grew bigger as he turned into a werewolf, and the size of his sword did not fit his hand.

Listening to it, it felt like fighting with wooden chopsticks, I just thought bare hands would be better.

In fact, the bare hands granted Garura’s succession were as strong as the sword.

“Tsk… ”

I clicked my tongue and finished off the dying paju.

Then Ma-in died, and the divinity of Paju-ju was also scattered from him.

After confirming his death, I secured food for Keng-Keng with ＜Soul Extraction＞, and then quietly canceled the skill.

Then, this time, a torn police uniform caught my eye.

“this… ”

It was a relief that I had left my coat because it was summer.

Still, I’m like a beggar until I go home.

I shouldn’t be using this for any reason.

I thought so and checked the log window.

As expected, there was a log announcing the acquisition of the forbidden book.

＜Part of the tenth forbidden book has been interpreted!＞

＜Successful beginner interpretation of forbidden books of Zoroastrianism. Acquire the Death Collector skill!＞

＜The analysis skill level is low, so further analysis is not possible. Please level up your analysis skills.＞

So I checked the skill window.

however.

“hmm?”

＜Gatherer of Death＞

Collects and stores the death of corpses.

Death Collected: 1

Right now, it was a skill that had no particular function.

Apparently, after the skill level of interpreting forbidden books has risen.

If the analysis progress increases, it seems to be doing something with the collected deaths.

Are you telling me to diligently collect deaths until then?

“It’s not a deposit of any kind.”

I just closed the window.

Slowly, the ground heated by the hot wind cooled down, and the cold night air seeped in through the torn clothes.

It was already past midnight, and it was 1:00 AM on a Monday.

Before I knew it, my weekend was over.

“… cold.”

With a bitter heart, I decided to return home quickly.
