The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

The huge electric shock disappeared, and Choi Deok-cheol quickly checked his surroundings.

In the lobby on the first floor, I could see the trainees who were so worried about them spread out on the floor.

He flinched for a moment at the sight of them all lying down like corpses.

I took a closer look and luckily, all of them were alive.

Among them, Kang Jin-woo was also seen.

He too was alive, but as he looked, he had been slammed against a wall by a false prophet.

With deep anger, Choi Deok-cheol looked at the false prophet.

however,

“hmm?”

The one hit by his lightning did not move.

No, it wasn’t just that he didn’t move… It was as if he was dead.

There was even a smell of burning flesh from somewhere.

For a moment, Choi Deok-chul was taken aback.

Of course, it was an attack to kill, but the false prophet was not someone who would die so easily.

Same with the walls of Jericho.

He had many defenses for his own safety.

Could it be that he was a criminal who had harassed Choi Deok-cheol for 10 years?

So, after rolling his head for a moment, he frowned.

They thought the corpse lying on the ground was a fake, that is, a dummy.

“What kind of joke is this, you bastard!”

Choi Deok-cheol kicked the body of the false prophet who had fallen on the floor.

But why?

There, I felt the touch and weight of a corpse.

It went all the way back without any resistance.

There were no traps that popped out at all.

Besides, the face of the black man.

That was definitely the face of a false prophet.

It was too elaborate to be fake, and that fear-filled expression caught Choi Deok-cheol’s eyes.

Please, is it true?

Choi Deok-cheol, who unintentionally raped a corpse, was embarrassed.

And then.

“What the hell are you doing, brother?”

From nob le mt l. com

Just in time, police personnel, including Baek Min-seong and Lee Soo-yeon, arrived one after another in the lobby.

Lee Soo-yeon skillfully commanded the teaching assistants and took care of the fallen trainees.

In the meantime, Baek Min-seong approached Choi Deok-cheol, who was standing there blankly.

“Is this a false prophet?”

“uh? Uh… it seems so.”

At Choi Deok-cheol’s words, Baek Min-seong tilted his head.

If it’s a false prophet, then it’s a false prophet, something else like that.

It was an ambiguous tone that Choi Deok-cheol, who was usually, would yell at him for being straight.

“You are dead.”

Baek Min-seong lowered his body and looked into the body of the false prophet.

A corpse whose entire body was burnt to black, and it looked like there was no need to even check its pulse.

However, Baek Min-seong checked the pulse just in case and nodded.

Then he spoke in a voice that only Choi Deok-cheol could hear.

“No matter how criminal it is, what if you kick a dead guy? My subordinates are also watching.”

“What… what?”

“I have seen them all. I saw the others too.”

Choi Deok-cheol’s face distorted at the absurd misunderstanding.

“No, I… thought that bastard was cheating…”

“What kind of scam do you think a dead guy is cheating on?”

Tsk tsk- Baek Min-seong clicked his tongue and turned around.

But Choi Deok-chul couldn’t even make an excuse.

Under that circumstance, it would look like he was kicking the criminal he’d been chasing for so long.

“Such a slob…”

He turned his resentful gaze to the false prophet.

That guy didn’t help even when he died.

While Choi Deok-cheol was staring at the corpse.

“·······”

Another group of people entered the lobby.

About 10 men and women dressed in nuns’ and priest’s uniforms.

They were exorcists from the church.

Choi Deok-chul raised his eyebrows as he saw a nun standing in front of them.

It was a familiar face.

“See you again, chief.”

Baptismal name, Esther.

She was a woman in her mid-thirties, with a hard look.

She was the leader of the tribe of Benjamin, which governed Far East Asia, and a powerful figure who oversaw the power of the entire church in Korea.

However, Choi Deok-chul was not shaken by her appearance.

Followers – deacons – bishops – cardinals – 10 elders – tribal leaders – ranks within the church leading to John.

Among them, the false prophet was one of the 10 elders of the tribe of Isachar, who were judged to be heretics.

So, in order to deal with him, it was natural for at least a branch leader to step forward.

“That’s right, you came quickly.”

“I have nothing to say about that part. sorry.”

Esther apologized succinctly, as if she had no excuses.

And then she gazed briefly at the fallen corpse, the false prophet.

And he continued without a change in his expression.

“Did you judge this person yourself?”

“Well… that’s how it happened.”

For an instant, a doubt passed through Esther’s eyes.

How did they break through the walls of Jericho without their help?

There was a question about him, but Esther soon erased the question.

This is because the church was not in a position to question the police.

“To make the commissioner judge heresy? The Church has lost its face.”

The church is basically one of the formal institutions that carry out exorcism in cooperation with the police.

However, the demons of the 5 tribes who betrayed the church.

In other words, only for ‘heresy’, they have the right to investigate and administer more than the police.

This is clearly stated even in the agreement between the church and the police.

Therefore, the church had the duty and right to judge such heresy.

At the same time, they were held accountable for the crimes they committed.

“But this, is he right?”

Choi Deok-cheol, who still had doubts, asked.

“No doubt.”

Esther nodded lightly.

As long as she was sure, there was nothing to doubt.

Choi Deok-cheol nodded awkwardly.

Meanwhile, a priest approached Esther and quietly reported something.

Then, a faint smile formed on Esther’s hardened lips.

“My Monica seems to be all right too.”

“Ah, that trainee. By the way…wasn’t the faction different from yours?”

“It is a tribe, not a clique. Also, the tribe is just dividing the area. Even if they are from different tribes, they are all brothers and sisters to us.”

Choi Deok-cheol nodded roughly.

It seemed like there was quite a bit of conflict between the tribes from what they usually do.

The situation inside the church was not something he knew.

“Then we will retrieve the body.”

The corpses of demons belonging to heresy could contain secrets that could not be recovered or sacred laws corresponding to the secrets of the church.

So, the ownership of the heretical corpse belongs to the church, which was discussed with the police a long time ago.

“Sure.”

With Choi Deok-cheol’s permission, two people searched the body of the false prophet.

However, after rummaging through the body for a while, they reported something to Esther.

“There are no barriers in Jericho?”

The walls of Jericho were originally small, old, brick-shaped shrines.

It was a remnant of the wall of Jericho that had collapsed a long time ago, and that alone could be considered a valuable relic.

In addition, compared to its powerful effect, it does not discriminate against the user, and as a sacred object, it is a treasure itself.

But that’s gone.

Naturally, Esther’s gaze moved to Choi Deok-cheol.

“No, what are you looking at me for!”

“You haven’t said anything yet.”

Esther calmly replied to Choi Deok-cheol, who started off with a tantrum.

“I just want to ask if you have any guesses.”

“A guess is someone’s guess…”

But at that moment.

A possibility flashed through Choi Deok-cheol’s mind.

Even if it is a divine instrument, if it is not effective due to spiritual power, it is just an ordinary object after all.

However, if it was the lightning that ended Luga, the level 1 exorcism police force who poured all of their energy into it.

It wouldn’t be strange to say that it was made of ashes, like a worn-out brick in a person’s arms.

That’s what I thought.

“Chief?”

At Esther’s words, he said nothing but broke into a cold sweat.

And he glared at the body of the false prophet once more.

Really.

That guy was a guy who didn’t even help when he searched.

“Then… rest in peace.”

next day.

I lay on the bed in the treatment room inside the training center and saw off Lee Soo-yeon as she left.

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

When Lee Soo-yeon left, the inside of the single-person treatment room instantly became quiet.

“Whoa…”

As I sighed, I felt a dull pain in my side.

Luckily, yesterday’s attack by the false prophet ended without any loss of life.

The only thing that died was the criminal, the false prophet.

Of course, there were a few injuries, but they weren’t serious enough to fracture at the worst.

I also had a crack in my rib.

Is that why?

Now, Soo-yeon Lee has been going around the treatment room all day because she is collecting testimonies from the field.

It was also for that reason that he came to me.

“I was lucky.”

As I muttered, I remembered what happened at the time the false prophet died.

The false prophet Luke was killed by Choi Deok-cheol.

It was because right before I sentenced him to death, Choi Deok-cheol appeared and struck the last blow.

Choi Deok-cheol, who killed Luga at once, looked embarrassed.

That was rather lucky for me.

If I had killed him before he came… I’d be in trouble too.

So, as soon as Choi Deok-cheol arrived, I closed my eyes.

Pretending to be stretched out after being hit by a false prophet, lying face down on the floor.

And fortunately, the smoke passed without any doubt.

In a way, it was a natural story.

Because at the level of the trainee, the false prophet was an enemy that could never be defeated.

But the problem still remained.

The problem was none other than the reward of the quest that told him to survive.

“Do you want me to give you this…”

Difficulty S hidden quest.

Plus, I went beyond surviving, thanks to getting to the point of killing him.

The level of compensation has risen to the SS level, saying that the exceeding goal has been achieved.

And what I received in doing so was… what a wall of Jericho.

It was the holy relic that Luga had.

“The Walls of Jericho”

unique item

Effect: Creates a barrier equal to 500% of spiritual power.

When there is a shield, damage from non-divine attacks is reduced by 70%.

However, when attacked by a holy property attack, the additional damage to the shield is increased by 200%.

Creates a barrier and reduces the damage by 1/3 if it is not a divine attack, and triples the damage if it is a divine attack.

It took a little while for the shield to be proportional to spiritual power, but even considering that, it was a very good item.

I don’t know if it’s Mine.

There was little chance that spirits or monsters had divinity, so it was practically the same as gaining a defensive ability that reduced all damage by 30%.

However, the reason I can’t genuinely welcome this is because it is a sacred object with an original owner.

I asked Suyeon Lee a little while ago, and she said that Jericho’s barrier was officially destroyed by Deokchul Choi.

But the church is scouring the entire dormitory building for the slightest chance or something.

So if they found out I had it, I wouldn’t resist and take it away.

So I couldn’t even speak the story of defeating the false prophet.

For a while, I wouldn’t even use it unless it was really dangerous.

“hmm···”

With that in mind, I buried my face in the pillow.

Is it because I overworked yesterday?

My body was heavy.

I just fell asleep.

*

After that, two more weeks passed.

Having already recovered, I was discharged from the hospital and was staying in a temporary dormitory at the training center.

After tomorrow’s career choice is over, the course at the training institute ends.

Therefore, today is the last evening spent at the training center.

I was having my last spearmanship lesson with Monica in an empty lot at the training center.

“If you do this, will it work?”

“Yeah, the shape comes out roughly.”

Monica had already mastered the 2-star Helemia spearmanship and applied spearmanship.

So today I taught Helemia spearmanship 3 stars, advanced spearmanship, which can be said to be the last day.

Of course, Helemia spearmanship has a total of 10 stars, but from 4 stars onwards, it was essential to use the aura, so that was all I could teach her.

“This is all I will tell you. The rest is up to you.”

With that said, I signaled the end of class.

Spearmanship is, after all, just a textbook.

Creating his own spearmanship based on that manual was the path that the soldier had to walk on his own.

“·······”

Monica nodded wordlessly.

Subtly awkward atmosphere.

I don’t know why, but Monica has been like this since the day she was attacked by the devil.

Was what happened that day really that shocking?

Then she wiped off her sweat with a towel and sat down on a nearby bench.

I looked at Monica for a while, then moved my gaze to the quest window.

It seems that there is nothing to do at the training center anymore.

There was only one quest left.

＜Character Quest＞

Subject: Monica

Alignment: orderly, good

– Complete Character Story 1.

Reward: Among the sealed hero’s job abilities, [Lord of Flame] is unlocked.

Monica’s Quest.

Unlike Dayoung Kim, who completed the quest the day she received it, it was still unfinished.

Until now, I thought it was because I still had something to teach, but now that I see it, it doesn’t seem like that.

So what the hell are the conditions for completion?

While I was thinking about that, Monica started talking to me.

“excuse me···”

“why?”

“···thank you.”

What did you say

It seems like he wants to say goodbye to the last day.

“it’s okay. I’m not even giving it away for free.”

I waved my hand and said.

But still, Monica stared at me.

“What do you have to say?”

“You are the one to say. doesn’t exist?”

“What to say? no?”

Monica frowned subtly.

It looked like he was somehow disappointed.

That’s when you want to ask what the hell is that for.

Monica was the first to speak.

“Actually… that day. I saw everything.”

that day? did you see

I was wondering what the hell you were talking about.

A sudden guess came to mind.

By that day, I’m sure you mean the day the demons attacked.

No way…I thought everyone passed out, but was Monica conscious?

But I continued without even expressing the ominous prediction.

“You see, what?”

“Did you use my spear?”

However, that prediction turned out to be a reality.

Monica’s gaze pierced me like a sharp needle.
