Chapter 58 – Chapter 58 Sage, the Hero of Aslan Kingdom (5)
Unlike when he was hit by Rayleigh and Kina’s pincers, his severed arm did not regenerate easily.
Is it because of the power of the holy sword?
The affected area lingered and regenerated, but at a very different pace.
“Surely strong.”
I looked down at my severed arm and said.
It was pure admiration.
In the first place, I had no intention of giving up all of my arms.
Her swordsmanship was much sharper than I expected.
The holy power fired from the holy sword was also thick and powerful, so my entire left arm was blown away.
Covering her exposed breasts, she glared at me with her face blushing.
She is a woman no matter how much a warrior.
No woman likes to see her breasts exposed.
Haha.”
However, my real purpose was not just to expose my breasts.
A fine red line drawn between her large breasts.
Arubis and my demonic energy were eating into her body through the open wound.
There was a small crack in her body that was being protected by divine power.
And through that crack, the demonic energy of the dungeon leaked in little by little.
It was a blow that took a lot of effort.
To the point of sacrificing one of my arms.
[Demonic Erosion] [Poisoning] [Bleeding]
[Magical Erosion: Reduces the opponent’s holy resistance. Strengthens status ailments.]
A new status ailment floated above Seiji’s head.
It was eaten right.
And as the demonic energy eroded, I could see the color of the status ailments, including the various curses Amy had applied earlier, getting darker and darker.
It was a strategy I used while attacking this game.
It was the only attack that was able to deal with adventurers far stronger than the dungeon traps and monsters.
Adventurers with more than a certain level of strength had a manama to resist the magic dwelling in the dungeon.
And that manamak protected the mage from contaminating his body no matter how deep he entered the dungeon.
There was almost no damage, but it was an attack that damaged the manamak wrapped around the body.
If that happens, the demonic energy is eroded, multiple curses are applied, and elite monsters beat the weakened adventurers.
The attack was directed at Seiji.
‘I can kill him if he wants to kill me, but I’d better catch him without getting hurt.’
He was a talent that I coveted more than Vergio.
What kind of cries will she make if she corrupts her?
A fallen warrior with a holy sword.
It was a situation that could not be avoided.
After confirming that the curse had strengthened, I opened my mouth.
“The level is different from the previous articles.”
“What?”
“Oh, haven’t you seen you? The owner of the neck I sent. The level was so bad that I couldn’t even get a single wound on my body. With that in mind, I wondered if he had risen to that position with a bribe.”
It’s a lie.
He was one of the toughest opponents I’ve ever faced.
To the extent that I want to make it a subordinate.
“Don’t insult me. Don’t tarnish his reputation! Vergio-sama is not something even the smallest of you can talk about!”
Anger flashed in the boy’s eyes.
I didn’t even think about covering my chest anymore.
As she stood, she could clearly see two white hills and two cherry blossoms on the hills.
“A teacher of four years? You were too weak for something like that? Could it be that you followed the wrong teacher?”
There was a burning rage in her eyes that seemed to never be quenched.
It’s so hot that you can’t see anything around you.
[Runaway]
A new status abnormality appeared, and at that moment the hero disappeared from sight.
Chaeeng!
The holy sword and the demonic sword collided again.
The air shuddered with the collision of great force.
Seiji’s chest also swayed every time it happened.
It was quite fun to watch.
“It’s troublesome when the hero loses his reason.”
I said while holding back the warrior’s holy sword with one hand.
“Pup……. You will kill me I’ll tear you limb from limb so no one can find your body. Then Vergio-nim will also attain Buddhahood…….”
He gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
However, in the sword of the warrior possessed by rage, the elaborate sword path that was shown before was not visible.
As I exchanged swords with him, I kept bringing up the story of Vergio.
“Your strength is also great. Unlike that guy. Ever since he knew he was out of luck, he got down on his knees and begged for his life. That servile look he made right before his head was blown off.”
“Aww!”
Praising her skills, Seiji became enraged once again at a word that criticized Vergio.
[Trauma]
The letters of trauma floating above her head were dyed black.
‘Please take revenge.’
Seiji knew that this voice was an illusion.
It must have been an illusion.
Vergio was killed by the demon king and crossed the river of no return.
I would have.
“Revenge me.”
The image of Vergio, shedding tears of blood and repeating herself next to her, was the same as when she was alive.
He looked at Seiji and the demon king alternately.
“That guy is the demon king who killed me.”
“It’s all lies.”
“I fought with honor and died like a knight.”
“You must win.”
“Kill! Kill! Aim for the severed left arm! Even if you know, you won’t be able to stop it!”
“Attack is the first priority! Drive him so he can’t extend his sword!”
It was the same as Vergio in his lifetime, but his harsh voice was completely different from his friendly tone.
It felt like he had come back to life, even though I knew he wasn’t real.
“Mr. Vergio…….”
Seiji moved as if possessed by the voice.
He told me to attack, so I attacked.
I broke through because I was told to break through.
Just like when I learned the sword from him in the past.
He moved like a disciple who thoroughly followed his master’s words.
The problem was that the Vergio that Seiji was seeing and hearing was not real, but an illusion created by her trauma.
And that false advice.
“Cuck!”
She was hurting her more and more.
‘Mr. Vergio…….’
Even though her body was getting more and more scarred, Vergio’s vision continued to demand more ferocious attacks.
A one-sided attack that discards defense.
Sage’s sword got heavier and heavier.
Her many curses that had been cast upon her weighed down her.
Seiji felt that her blessings, which at least resisted her curse, were gradually fading.
She turned her head to see where the priests were.
And there.
“Now, you too will become a faithful apostle of the Demon King.”
I saw Amy kiss her on the foreheads of the priests who stood blankly.
Her priests began carving themselves unclean demonic symbols on the part of her where she kissed her.
“Ahhh…….”
They groaned not in pain, but in joy, and looked blankly at Amy with grotesque smiles.
The priests were laughing even though blood from their foreheads covered their faces.
The priests looked at Amy in a corrupted state and put her hands together.
“Ahhh…….”
An ear-scratching hymn echoed through the dungeon.
[Disgust]
A new status ailment appeared on Seiji’s head.
Confirming that the priest had been annihilated, she belatedly looked around.
“Aaaaa!!!”
The knights were annihilated.
“Kyaaaaah!”
Blasphemy!
The mages all froze, pierced by the wind and died.
All of her party members were annihilated except for her.
[Rage] [Aphrodisiac] [Trauma] [Curse of the Villainess] [Obscene] [Disgust] [Demonic Erosion] [Poisoning] [Bleeding] [Runaway]
[Holy Sword] [Blessing of the Hero]
All the blessings that covered Sage were gone, and terrible status ailments and curses floated dizzy over her head.
Only the holy sword and the protection of the brave can protect Seiji.
There is no one left.
She failed
Miserably.
She killed all of her comrades who came with her.
“Revenge me! Hurry!”
Her thickened hallucinations of Vergio urged her on.
He wanted revenge.
He wanted to kill his enemy with her death.
‘Okay. Let’s kill the demon king and die.’
That would be an apology for the comrades who died due to her misjudgment.
“Aaaaa!!”
Seiji rushed at the Demon King with all her might.
“Stupid. Does she still think she can win?”
The demon king swung his sword.
Visor!
The warrior is defeated.
***
“Amy, you worked hard.”
I congratulated Amy for tying her bandage around her amputated left arm.
As soon as the affected area touched, the cut flesh and bone began to sway and adjust their position.
The feeling was quite strange.
Amy looked at the priests brainwashed.
The priests, who had corrupted themselves by carving the devil’s symbol on their heads, stretched out their arms as they saw me.
“Ah, Demon King…….”
I also saw a goddess with a smooth face, but she didn’t bother to touch her.
If I touch them, they will disappear like dust, so it would be better to use the goddesses as seedlings.
“You must have had a hard time corrupting everything, but you put a lot of effort into it.”
“No. Demon King. Rather, it was easy. There was very little direct combat.”
In fact, except for the few knights escorting them, it was no different from having no fighting power.
Most of the knights were blocking all of Friederike, Rebecca, and the gargoyles that ambush the knights fighting them.
“Because it’s not that hard to make people who believe in stupid gods believe again.”
I stroked Amy’s hair.
“Among the women, those who have a lot of mana should be used as breeding grounds for monsters, and those who do not should act as missionaries for the church.”
“All right.”
At Amy’s beckoning, the fallen priests stood up all at once.
They trudged into the depths of the dungeon.
Some of them will sacrifice themselves for a mighty army in the future.
“Check what is going on on the battlefield outside, and if the enemies haven’t been annihilated yet, join them and repel them. When the battle is over, divide and distribute the rewards appropriately to the monsters who suffered.”
Her female subordinates, including Yulia, bowed their heads, quickly left the dungeon.
“How can I cook for four years…….”
***
Sage felt her distant consciousness awaken.
She thought it was a sensation she would never feel again.
Because she thought she was dead after her final battle with the demon king.
‘Isn’t it dead…….’
After all, she didn’t die.
As befits an honorable knight, she tried to be with her to the end.
Everyone died because she was lacking.
However, she survived horribly on her own.
I was in tears.
Her face grew hot, and she involuntarily began to sob.
“Heyhehe. Mr. Bergio…….”
She didn’t do anything
Revenge too. Victory too.
She was just thoroughly trampled by the demon lord.
Nodded
Her arms don’t move.
So were the legs.
With both her arms and legs bound in chains, she was locked in a prison cell.
Dark ceiling.
The damp dungeon, where water dripped from cracks in the rocks, made her feel the reality.
Is the kingdom over?
It lost considerable power, but it was not a kingdom that would collapse to this extent.
With this failure, the kingdom will find a new way to deal with the demon king.
So she shouldn’t give up either.
We have to find a way to escape somehow.
And then.
A voice was heard outside the window.
“Are you awake?”
It’s a familiar face.
A priest who came to her whenever she suffered trauma and granted her a cure.
It was the priest who eliminated Vergio’s hallucinations.
“Live…… Was there?”
“Sure. I am not dead.”
Her distorted smile was strange.
A bright red devil’s symbol painted with visible blood on his forehead.
Seiji belatedly realized that all the priests had painted the devil’s symbol on their foreheads.
“Did you fall for that devil too?”
“Oh, of course! Realizing belatedly the Lord’s grace, I finally started walking on the right path. Are you really happy?”
She smiled brightly in a black priestly uniform.
“The Demon King also gave me a very important mission.”
“Calm down. You are hallucinating. You are being taken advantage of.”
“Oops. Our hero is still haunted by the ghosts of the past. Well, if you’re like the hero, you deeply believe in and follow the foolish god, so it’s understandable. But I mean. If you follow the Demon King, there will be more good things, right?”
There was madness in the eyes of the goddess.
She looked down at Sage, shaking her body as she twitched as she spoke.
“That’s right, because you can get rewards that you can’t get from God.”
After her words, the goddess coffin took off her priestly clothes.
Squeak.
As she lifted her clothes, her bulging belly was visible. Like a woman in her fifth month of pregnancy, her vulva was even engraved on her swollen belly. Her groin was wrapped in pure white spider web.
“I became the mother of the giant spider. Are Spider’s children growing up here? After some time, these spiders will wake up inside and use me as food to become the Demon King’s army. Even a weak and stupid bitch like me was considered to be a part of the Demon King’s army. Merciful One……. Ah, to be able to become a part of Maou-sama even like this……. Aren’t you really happy?”
“Mi, you’re crazy. You are crazy.”
Sage couldn’t believe it.
How could a priest who was so faithful change like that?
“It’s okay. The current warrior would not know. This feeling that he can be part of the demon king’s army. But he will find out soon.”
The priestess reached in through the bars.
“Now I have to carry out the mission the Demon King gave me.”
A black light shimmered in her hand.
“Cure.”
The black light from her hand slowly seeped into Seiji’s chest.
A disgusting feeling like she was going to vomit hit her chest.
“Don’t do it! Don’t send such filthy energy to me!”
Snap! Rattle!
“Haa, how can you be so stupid……. I think it will be fun to watch how the fallen hero realizes the truth and becomes a real sister…….”
I won’t be able to see it all though.
After completing the order, the priestess opened the door and entered, pouring soft soup into Seiji’s mouth.
Wow!
“I’m not going to eat. Like the food you give me.”
“Well, okay. Because the Demon King told me not to force feed it. Then I’ll go. See you tomorrow.”
Goddess Coffin left her seat.
As Seiji watched her receding back, she vowed that she would never collapse.
