The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

“So… you mean that demons have invaded this place?”

I asked for confirmation.

Then, without a doubt, Monica’s head nodded.

I frowned.

A weekday evening after work and time are all over.

There are only trainees in this dormitory.

This is because teaching assistants and instructors are staying in the staff building, not the dormitory.

Of course, the staff building is right next to the dormitory, but…

“Will people come to help?”

“Come, I will come. but···”

Monica’s eyes turned to the black window.

“That wall. That’s the wall of Jericho. Separate the outside from the inside.”

“Is it like a barrier?”

“huh.”

“Then you can’t come in.”

“You can break it from the outside, yes. But it takes time.”

It was not a very good situation.

“Will Mine be very strong?”

“Be strong. This is possible… more than a cardinal.”

Monica asserted.

I don’t know what that cardinal is, but it’s clear that it’s strong.

What… that’s right, that’s right.

I knew.

Isn’t it the Mine that the police have been chasing for a long time?

He will never be a good guy.

“Then how-”

That was the moment.

Another roar erupted from the bottom of the emergency stairs where Monica and I were.

Something was breaking around the narrow fire stairs and climbing up.

“come···!”

Monica raised the window and glared down the stairs.

Then what came out of it was-

“What is that?”

It was a bipedal cow made of gold.

It is tall enough to reach 3 meters. He also had a golden club in his hand.

Looking at its gigantic body, I understood why it had to break down the stairs.

But… what is it, really?

Of course, there were just a few things that came to mind.

From nob le mt l. com

Just the Minotaur.

A monster with a cow’s face.

But its body wasn’t metal, and it wasn’t even that shiny gold.

The appearance is also subtly different.

In addition, letters were engraved on his body.

Is it runes?

No, I would have read it.

“A golden calf…?”

Monica muttered that.

But before I ask anything,

“what?”

“Oohhh!”

He screamed when he saw Monica.

Unlike other monsters, it was a normal cow cry.

I immediately activated my ability.

level 35.

Contrary to what he looked like, he was a formidable guy.

“Monica! Get out of the way!”

Looking at the level alone, it was stronger than Blood Rang.

So, no matter how narrow the stairs, Monica alone will not be able to stop them.

At my words, Monica withdrew the window and backed away, and we left the stairs and entered the hallway again.

“What, what is it?”

Dayoung Kim asked if she had heard the roar.

However, the golden cow moved before my answer.

“Ooh!”

bang!

He was trying to break through the wall through the door smaller than himself, heading this way from the emergency stairs.

With a single blow, one of the door hinges ripped off and rattled.

Screams erupted from people in the hallway.

“You have to fight.”

said Monica.

She and Kim Da-yeong, standing next to her, were already ready for battle.

Fight that golden bull here.

“hmm···”

Clearly, the battle was unavoidable.

Compared to the golden cow, this dormitory hallway is too narrow.

In comparison, humans are allowed to move to a certain extent.

An advantageous battlefield if used well.

However, there was too much surplus power here.

“Mr. Lee Hyun-seok.”

So I called Lee Hyun-seok, a representative surplus power.

Then, I pointed out a few people from Class A scattered across the hallway and told them to block the emergency stairs on the other side with them.

They’re not going to help even if they’re here.

I don’t know if there are other cows or not, but I had to prevent them from being surrounded from the front and back.

“All right.”

Lee Hyeon-seok led the people and retreated to the other side of the hallway.

All that’s left here is me, Monica, Dayoung Kim, and a woman with a gun.

There were only four like this.

“Everybody, where are you going?”

The woman using the gun tried to follow herself, but I caught her.

“Here, aunt.”

“Ah… Auntie?”

Sorry, but I can’t remember the name.

So I just told her what to do.

“When he comes in, the lady only shoots him in the left leg from a distance.”

“What… what?”

“Left leg. Just shoot your left leg. Don’t come any closer.”

When I said it again, she nodded with difficulty with a worried face.

Her ability is Paralysis Poison, and her level is 17.

I don’t know how far her paralysis poison will work on that level 35 golden cow.

If you only pour your abilities into one area, you will be able to help in battle somehow.

It was then.

“Oohhh!”

Another roar was heard and the golden cow finally stepped into the hallway.

With a crackling sound, the door and the wall that supported it were completely ripped away.

I could see the bent rebar in the broken concrete mass.

Truly incredible strength.

And he ran this way again, scratching the walls and ceiling with his whole body.

“be careful! Attacks don’t work well.”

“all right!”

Dayoung Kim and Monica moved.

Recognizing the enemy, Dayoung Kim’s eyes were stained with madness.

Monica’s spear also scattered golden anticipation.

And two men and one beast collided.

bang!

It was Kim Da-yeong who the Golden Cow aimed first.

However, this battlefield was too narrow for him.

Because of this, the club slowed down as it hit the ceiling and walls.

Dayoung Kim dug in between them leisurely.

She passed by the golden cow and thrust her sword into its empty stomach.

However,

kang!

There was a noise that was not suitable for a slash.

The attack did not work properly.

It was as Monica said.

“Oohhh!”

Even though the knife marks weren’t left properly, the guy who was hit by Kim Da-yeong went mad.

He swings his club in all directions and breaks the already half-destroyed walls and ceiling once again.

I was hoping to make the most of my time.

At this point, the building was on the verge of collapsing.

The golden cow then turned its head to find Dayoung Kim, who had gone back with her eyes turned upside down.

But, this time, Monica was aiming for that gap.

Kwadeuk!

Metal dug into metal.

Monica’s spear pierced near the golden cow’s spine.

Unlike Kim Da-yeong, it seemed to have done definite damage.

The golden cow also hurriedly turned its body to Monica, which had been focused on Dayoung Kim.

It was strange.

Dayoung Kim and Monica, the difference in attack power between the two isn’t that big.

Does that mean it’s not just a defense problem?

“What…then…”

I also fixed my sword and joined the battlefield.

Then the golden cow finally stopped emitting light and glared at us.

He must have felt a sense of danger too.

Meanwhile, Monica spoke to me.

“Only my attack is effective!”

I know that because I saw it too.

Therefore, the best countermeasure is for Monica to accumulate damage while Dayoung Kim and I draw attention.

However, maybe that wasn’t the best.

“why?”

At my words, Monica frowned.

I wondered if I wanted to ask such a thing in this situation.

But nonetheless, she answered.

“That one is weak against the power of God.”

also.

I knew roughly what it meant.

So I glanced at Dayoung Kim.

It meant attacking together, and she nodded.

I moved right away.

“Boo!”

Dayoung Kim and I approached, but he didn’t react easily.

Does he even have intelligence?

While wary of us, the golden cow was watching Monica.

kang!

Even when I passed by cutting his leg, he responded with only his hand without a club.

It seems that they judged that it was not a threat anyway, and it felt like they were kicking out even flying flies.

“Chit…!”

Monica, who couldn’t see it, rushed.

Then the golden cow responded as if it had waited.

bang! Chae Chaeng!

A fierce battle continued between Monica and the golden cow.

The golden cow was overwhelming in physical strength.

However, thanks to the small room and me and Dayoung Kim getting on his nerves, Monica was able to dodge or parry most of the attacks.

While the battle continued like that.

“right-?”

The body of the guy who was swinging the club suddenly leaned to one side.

The reason was because of the woman who had been shooting earlier.

A rubber bullet that doesn’t even damage that golden cow at all.

However, the paralysis ability contained in the rubber bullet steadily accumulated, and that was the first time it showed its power.

While the golden cow lost its balance because of this, it was in vain.

“-!”

Monica’s spear, looking for an opportunity, aimed at the golden cow’s neck.

Brilliant golden light shimmers from the tip of the window.

An unexpected blow.

Perhaps recognizing this, the golden cow also turned greatly.

Quadruped!

The huge body of the golden cow was pushed backwards with the sound of metal tearing.

“Oohhh!”

The golden cow roared in pain.

That meant two things.

One was that he had been seriously injured.

Another was that he wasn’t dead yet.

“·······”

Monica frowned in silence.

Was it a spleen attack?

However, her attack only severely shattered one shoulder of the golden cow, which had twisted before reaching it.

Moreover, the paralysis in one leg was quickly relieved.

Soon after, he stood up again.

“Ooooooh!”

The golden cow, in a fit of rage, charged at Monica.

Now he couldn’t even see me or Dayoung Kim.

The Golden Ox was trying with all his might to kill Monica first.

“·······”

Howling loudly, he attacked Monica with his club and even his other hand.

The enraged cow’s attack once again turned the building over.

Monica fended off the onslaught, but it didn’t look like she would last long.

The one who rode the momentum focused more on the attack.

“good.”

This was the moment I had been waiting for.

I activated the sword of light and rushed behind him.

“Mr. Kang Jin-woo?”

Seeing my sword shining brightly, Dayoung Kim muttered.

That golden cow is weak against the power of a god.

The power of God that I know is divinity.

And what the sword of light grants was the light-divine attribute.

That’s why my attack would work for him during the duration of the light sword’s effect.

It wasn’t just my card.

＜Guardian Strike＞

A blow by which the escort warrior shakes off the enemy.

Damage: 440% of weapon attack power.

Additional effect: Ignores 50% of opponent’s defense.

Spirit Power Consumption: 15

The Guardian Strike I had even had a defense ignoring effect attached.

With a superior attribute, it is like ignoring the defense and hitting the attack.

Therefore, the damage I inflict on him will be hit with the so-called true damage.

I jumped on him and activated my skill.

“Guardian Strike!”

A sword clad in flash cut gold.

The sensation in the hand was very light.

It was because his body, which seemed harder than stone, had been sliced like tofu.

That’s how I slashed my black and golden cow from the broken shoulder to the side, cutting it in half.

“Whoa···”

The golden cow was cut to pieces and collapsed.

Then, like gold melting, it disappeared.

“Ugh, f*ck.”

“·······”

I cursed at the sight of it.

Monica was looking at me with a puzzled face.

***

“The situation is not good.”

In front of the training center’s dormitory.

Currently, the dormitory is surrounded by an unknown wall.

Although it looks like a castle wall on the outside, its strength has exceeded its physical limits.

It means a kind of barrier belonging to the devil.

However, not only the teaching assistants and instructors, but even Baek Min-seong, the head of the training center, were unable to break the barrier.

“Is help coming?”

“Of course. I sang everything I could.”

Lee Soo-yeon asked with an anxious face, and Baek Min-seong answered.

He was just as anxious.

As the head of the training center, he was an exorcist who was recognized to some extent within the police force, although not as much as Choi Deok-cheol, the head of the Incheon Police Agency.

The fact that he couldn’t even use his hands meant that someone formidable was involved.

“The boundary analysis results have been obtained.”

At Lee Soo-yeon’s words, Baek Min-seong immediately checked the tablet.

Originally, the task of analyzing the demon of the barrier and the spiritual power contained in it to find out its weakness or how to break it was not a task that ended so quickly.

However, this time, there was no need to analyze the spiritual power of the barrier, and the record remained in the past.

The walls of Jericho.

It was the effect of the sacred object used by the false prophet three years ago.

“The wall of Jericho…”

Baek Min-seong murmured.

The walls of Jericho are originally a sacred object of the Church.

However, the entire tribe to which the false prophet belonged fell and took it with them.

Also, the effect of this barrier is similar to the tradition in the Bible.

The walls of Jericho were originally so absurdly strong and strong that they could never be broken down by human power.

However, the army led by the messenger of the god borrowed the power of the god and broke it down just by going around the wall seven times.

According to such tradition, this wall is vulnerable to the power of the gods, that is, the divinity of the religious shrines of churches and Buddhist teachings of Buddhist temples.

On the contrary, it has absolute defensive power against all other spiritual powers, which means human power.

That level is so high that not only Baek Min-seong, but also Choi Deok-cheol, a first-class exorcist police officer who is coming here now, cannot easily penetrate it.

In other words, it meant that if support from the church did not come, it could not be easily destroyed.

“But…isn’t Monica-san inside?”

Baek Min-seong shook his head at Lee Soo-yeon’s words.

It was hard to expect that Monica would break the barrier even if she had a holy relic that could bring out the divinity.

She is only a trainee.

However, that opponent is a demon who has evaded the pursuit of the first-class exorcism police for 10 years.

Between them, there was a difference that could not be overcome by mutual compatibility.

“She is an excellent educator. But it’s like melting a glacier with a candle.”

“·······”

“This is going to be a mess again.”

Baek Min-seong muttered bitterly.

There was a false prophet who was chasing so much right in front of him.

However, it’s a life that only waits in front of the barrier.

It sounded like it was already screaming.

In the distance, the sound of a rough car engine was approaching.
