The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

75.

Monica pointed the tip of her spear at the man and glared at him with sharp eyes.

The man was wearing a striking silver suit.

Could it have been around 30 years old?

He was a man with a height of over 180 cm, and his eyes were so sharp that I felt a sense of rejection for some reason.

He passed through the factory entrance and soon found Belissa’s body lying near Monica.

“Oh… Belissa… ”

The man said that and wiped his face with one hand.

Looking at the brutally burned corpse, the man continued.

“Is this your work?”

“… … ”

He asked Monica in an exaggerated tone as if acting.

His gaze briefly passed by me, who stood behind him, but he paid more attention to Monica than to me.

The reason was the nun’s uniform that proved her belonging.

Perhaps the church is a much more hated enemy than the police to that heretical man.

“It is you again. Demons who do not hesitate to do cruel things in the name of God.”

“… … ”

“Are you qualified to call yourself an apostle of God even after such a disaster? By the offspring of poisonous snakes, you must be referring.”

“… gibberish.”

Monica, unable to hear the man, raised her voice.

In it, there was a deep hatred towards Mine.

Then the man also glared at Monica.

And when he saw the sharp spear point pointed at him, his mouth twisted.

“That spear is not an ordinary holy object. I never thought I would see Moses’ staff in a place like this.”

The man seemed to have immediately noticed the identity of Monica’s holy object.

At this, Monica’s face hardened a little.

Being able to guess the sacred relics of the church just by looking at their appearance meant that he was a seasoned heretic.

“It is an unexpected harvest.”

The man said so and lowered his stance.

It looks like he’s about to attack Monica at any moment.

But still there was no weapon in his hand.

but,

“… … ”

As far as I could see, his relic was clearly shining from the inside of his suit.

Red light is leaking from there.

It meant that it was an Epic-level novelty.

Is that something like armor?

But still, it was a strange thing.

Even if you have armor, what does it mean not to use a weapon?

But soon my doubts were cleared.

Right after that, a man rushed at Monica.

Even considering the level difference, it was a tremendous speed.

Arhat’s succession… no, something more than that.

In addition, he slashed Monica’s spear that was poking at him with his bare fists.

That means…

“Is it a physical strengthening class?”

That guy saw his body as a weapon.

Of course, Monica’s holy relic, the staff of Moses, has a tradition to break it.

This was not included in the 4 traditions that Monica opened.

Considering this, it is like meeting an enemy that is not even good for Monica, even though it is still difficult for Monica.

I quietly watched the battle between the two.

* * *

“Kuh… !”

Monica held her breath at the shock that was transmitted to her spear.

The power was so great that it was as if the tip of a spear had been hit by a running train.

In response, Monica instinctively swung the spear and tried to widen the distance.

“-!”

The man standing in front of him, Dominic, lowered his body to evade the spear and dug deeper.

It was like a boxer move.

Dominic, who reached right in front of Monica’s nose in an instant, thrust the fist straight into Monica’s abdomen.

But Monica’s fist is about to reach her body.

Kakang!

He narrowly succeeded in defending the iron fist with his own spear.

Thanks to that, instead of Monica’s screams, only sharp bursts came out.

Also, Monica, who uses Dominic’s power against her, retreats greatly as if she is being pushed away by his fist.

“Hoo… I was going to finish it in one shot, but isn’t that normal?”

Dominic was intrigued by Monica’s response.

Monica is a novice exorcist who is still immature.

Nonetheless, Monica’s inaction had the same mature movements as those who had been refined for more than 10 years.

“But how long can it last?”

He laughed coldly and bounced like a spring.

The distance between the two closed in an instant, and Monica’s spear collided with Dominic’s fist.

Caga River!

Monica did not allow Dominic’s approach as easily as the first time.

Dominic kept his distance by stabbing Dominico, who was digging towards him, by persistently inserting spears into it, and quickly backing away when necessary.

But that was the story of Monica being on the defensive in the end.

Monica desperately moves the spear and only blocks Dominic from approaching.

Even sensing that gap was cautious.

It was because Dominic’s movements were swift and firm.

“Kuh… ”

So, while Monica struggled to defend herself, she reasoned about the relic Dominico might have.

Dominic’s power and body are obviously strong enough to be heterogeneous.

That’s why the holy things Dominic could have had to do with him.

“… … ”

Soon, several possibilities popped into her mind.

Among them, two are the most famous legends.

The first was Samson.

He was said to have the strength to tear a lion to pieces with his bare hands, and if it was his tradition, it was possible to greatly enhance his physical strength.

However, Samson also has a clear weakness, that his long hair is the source of his strength.

So, in order to use Samson’s tradition, you had to grow your hair and have a means to protect it.

The gaudy hairdo Dominic fixed with wax was none of that.

So Monica shook her head inwardly.

Then there was only one other possibility.

“Goliath… !”

Hearing Monica’s muttering, Dominic laughed.

“You got it right. Well, I know your relics too, and it’s shameful that I’m the only one hiding them.”

Dominic tapped his chest with his fingers.

Inside, there was a modern armor processed from the fragments of Goliath’s helmet, a holy relic.

Monica’s expression darkened.

His famous tradition of David and Goliath was also related to strength, but at the same time, his weakness was also clear.

It is weak against ranged attacks.

It was to reproduce the tradition that Goliath was killed by a sling thrown by David.

However, Monica had no ranged attacks to speak of.

You can forcefully throw a spear, but no matter how weak you are in long-range attacks, it’s not an opponent that will work.

In other words, it means that it is impossible for Monica to attack the weakness of tradition.

“… … ”

In the end, Monica, who thought that the only answer was a head-to-head match, immediately opened her holy relic.

There are a total of 4 traditions of the staff of Moses that are currently open to her.

It was a scourge of frogs, lice, flies, and cattle plague.

The scourge of frogs that rot the wounds pierced by spears.

And the calamity of those whose wounds do not stop bleeding.

These two traditions cannot exert their power unless the spear inflicts an effective wound on the enemy.

Also, since the calamity of cattle plague is a tradition that is valid only for animals, it has no effect on the human Dominic.

So, the only thing that can be used right now is the plague of Paris.

But how far will that go?

Even so, Monica puts a prayer to wake up the holy relic.

“There is no god like me in all the world.”

Moses’ staff exuded a presence at the start.

Golden spiritual power wrapped around the staff.

“Your land and sky will be covered with swarms of flies.”

With those words, it became a swarm of black insects and attacked Dominic.

The power of the plague of flies is poison and weakening.

So, it could have been a perfect succession for Dominic, who uses strong power.

Monica’s face was not very bright.

And just like Monica’s expression,

“What a worm!”

With one punch from Dominic’s fist, the swarms of flies that had been flocking to him disappeared in a clump.

It was because of the success that Goliath had.

Goliath belongs to the Philistine army that the Israeli army fought against, and it has a tradition that no other Israeli army could stop him except for David.

So, Goliath’s succession not only strengthened his body, but also gave him strong resistance to all Israel-related powers except for David.

“-!”

Monica bit her lip nervously.

In fact, no matter how resistant Goliath’s tradition is, compared to the miracles of Moses, there is a big difference from that point on.

But even so, there is only one reason why Monica is pushed.

It was because she hadn’t grown up properly.

For example, even with the fifth plague, the Plague Plague, Dominic could not become her enemy.

It is a lore that is only valid for humans, as opposed to cattle runners, since it negates all defensive effects of human-based lore when attacked.

However, it was a belated regret after all.

She had no choice but to beat Dominic as she was now.

It’s not just because Dominic is Mine.

At stake in this battle was Monica’s hopes of moving forward again.

So, Monica didn’t miss the moment when Dominic swept off the flies once again.

As his weapon, his fist, swung into the air, a reckless spear unlike any before flew towards Dominic.

The lingering swarm of flies desperately obscured Dominic’s vision.

From the outskirts, the golden spear rushed to pierce the giant’s forehead.

Even so, Monica’s eyes stayed on Dominic’s arms.

but,

“Keugh!”

Right after that, Monica let out a scream and flew to the side.

It was Dominic’s foot that hit her.

Reinforced by the power of lore, a giant steel ball-like kick struck Monica mercilessly.

“big… Kheuk!”

She was sprawled on the floor, unable to even breathe.

Intense pain was felt in the flank that had been struck.

It must have been a broken rib.

Even in the pain, Monica clenched her teeth and put her hands on the floor.

It was a rudimentary mistake in judgment.

A man whose entire body is a weapon, why did he only care about his fist?

Of course, there is a side that Dominic induces like that.

He deliberately tried to close the distance by pretending to be a thorough infighter, imitating a boxer and using only his fists.

But being fooled by that was itself a fatal mistake.

A mistake that the usual Monica would not have made.

It was all because of her nervousness.

“… … ”

“You are tenacious. At this point, people usually think about admitting defeat and running away.”

Dominic said, looking at Monica staggering back to her feet.

But Monica shook her head.

Although her eyes were on Dominic.

Her consciousness turned to another man, Kang Jin-woo, who would be watching her now.

He was able to awaken the power of the sacred object that even his contractor, Monica, could not bring out.

That’s why, for Monica, who couldn’t grow any more, it was the only hope he could hold on to.

And his condition to Monica is to win this battle.

So she could never back down.

“Never, never go.”

Power went into the hand holding the spear.

Monica has not yet forgotten her duties.

The faces of their parents who died in front of their eyes.

The moment when he killed his younger brother with his own hands.

The thing of hugging their corpses that had become porridge and weeping.

It’s all been over ten years, but Monica hasn’t forgotten any of it.

So she joined the church and became an exorcist.

So she came to an unheard-of country in the Far East just because her enemy had gone into hiding.

But now come and give it all up here?

No, it could never have been.

No matter what, she had no choice but to give up this vengeance.

Perhaps, without Kang Jin-woo, she would have become a demon without much thought.

Monica had to see the blood of the enemy who took everything from her even after becoming the demon she hated so much.

It was already beyond anger.

It was no longer just a feeling.

That’s a clear grudge.

The resentment redder than blood settled in Monica’s eyes.

Facing that gaze, Dominic twitched his eyebrows.

No matter how much they met as enemies, Monica’s hostility toward him was too much.

“This is why fanatics.”

Dominic clicked his tongue in the madness and charged at Monica.

Again, spears and fists clash in the air.

However, the battle that seemed fierce at first glance did not last as long as before.

It was because the injury Monica suffered a moment ago was not easy.

Fractured several bones.

The pain dulled Monica’s movements, and Dominic did not miss the fatal gap.

With a groaning sound, the regime is slammed into the abdomen.

Monica couldn’t even let out a scream at the clean blow with perfect power and rolled on the floor.

“flaw… ah… ”

I couldn’t breathe.

I tried to stand up, but my limbs wouldn’t listen.

Only the terrible pain consumed her consciousness.

Internal bleeding caused blood to flow backwards in the throat.

But Monica couldn’t even spit it out properly.

But even so, Monica did not let the spear out of her hand.

From nob le mt l. com

Just lying on the floor, covered in blood, unable to lift a finger.

Only the hand holding the spear held it as if to break it.

How many seconds had passed?

A shadow fell over her.

that… It was Kang Jin-woo.

“… … ”

Kang Jin-woo looked at Monica with a distorted expression.

Are you disappointed in yourself?

Still had nothing to say. I showed him ugliness that I couldn’t show him.

“Monica… ”

However, Kang Jin-woo’s expression looking down at Monica was subtly different from disappointment.

He looked at Monica and hesitated to say something.

It’s like he just doesn’t like to say it.

And after that, after a big sigh, he finally spoke.

“From now on, you are my colleague.”

an unknown sound.

But at that moment, something strange happened.

A huge power she had never felt before began to rush into her.
