Chapter 192 – 192 – SUNDANCE KIDS
Mithra’s response was calm and quick. It’s as if he was sharing Thena’s knowledge and realized that her old friends’ commotion was a smokescreen.
Suddenly, stronger sunlight penetrates the translucent outer wall of the Amethyst Palace. A deep glow pouring from the ceiling to the floor.
At the moment when her colleagues reflexively tried to cover their eyes, Mithra spread the back of her hand in front of her, creating a deep shadow. She then held the shadow with her other hand.
The darkness gathers and turns into the shape of a sword. Mithra grabbed the handle of the warrior’s sword ‘Despair’ and pulled it out of the air, throwing it towards the Garozl trajectory of the approaching moonlight slash.
The movement that took place in an instant was not only smooth, but even beautiful. If it weren’t for the bastard who took over Tena’s body, he would have cried out in awe.
As the two warrior swords collided, the entire hall shook greatly. As furniture flew and chandelier fragments fell, the captive adventurers screamed and fell to the ground.
Florica, who was pushed down by the recoil and fell, gritted her teeth.
“Your hero’s sword has also blossomed…!”
Florica’s moonlight slash aimed at the enemy confiscation device was stopped. However, the demon king’s fragments lined up on both sides could not avoid anger.
As her limbs fell backward, bleeding, Mithra smiled wryly, only defending her device.
This is the face of someone with a personality disorder. At the same time, it feels awkward, as if I have never made such an expression before. Of course. Tena is not the type of person to make an expression like that.
But it’s familiar. Because it looks exactly like the shitty expressions that the demon lord’s fragments make.
I think I know whose influence is responsible for their rotten laughter.
The despair that fell after the collision disappeared in thin air. And it appeared again in Mithra’s hand.
“I won’t talk much longer. Grab her and bring her to her knees.”
When the guy points his sword at us, the bald guys, who seem to have even grown to hate us, jump up and stand up.
And then it rushes towards us as we charge. Could it be that Florica’s surprise attack with all its might was just a scratch on their tenacity?
There was a lot of noise on the left side, so I turned around, and it was like adding insult to injury. ‘Guardians of the royal capital’ pour in. Pushing adventurers and court members who were panicking and retreating from the battlefield.
Evenna’s relative. Corpses that were killed by the Demon King in the distant past and revived incompletely, with the only remaining function being to listen to someone’s commands.
The white wooden cane stands out. I hoped she was stuck somewhere far away, but it seems like Evenna herself has appeared.
···Is it possible?
From now on, there will be dozens of fragments of the Demon King. The hidden power of the Great Elan that made even the Dragon Lord run away.
And even if we break through them, Mithras still remain. The most powerful god in the pantheon, and it is not even clear how much power he will show with Thena’s body.
Just before returning to reality, Goddess Ishtar spoke. The longer she waits, the more Thena is devoured by it, the more power Mythra will be able to exert over Thena’s body. So it would be most advantageous to rush in right now.
But on the other hand, it means that our defeat becomes more evident every second.
This is probably the most dangerous mission of all of our lives. It may be the last mission.
The question I try to bury keeps popping up. Is it possible?
Perhaps we ended up jumping into a cliff bare-handed under the delusion that we might be able to fly?
Emotions that a living being cannot help but feel come flooding back.
The moment when you discover the end of your life, which seemed so far away, right around the corner, that feeling that freezes your flowing blood and tightens your heart.
However, the other person seems to have no such fear. Mithra, confident of her victory, cried out as he struck her bottom vigorously in despair.
“You are too cruel. How dare you stand up to God? And that too with just a handful of forest guards and women!”
At least, contrary to believers’ beliefs, he is not omnipotent and omnipotent. It’s a good thing.
Mithra was wrong. We have more reinforcements.
The elves of the court, who had been lying down and shaking in embarrassment from the fight, suddenly stood up with their eyes bright.
Then, he pulls out the crossbow ‘Usuyeonno’ or puts the assassination barrel in his mouth.
The moment Mithra’s eyes turned round, her poisonous sting began to fly in the air. Mithra’s family members, who were struck by an unexpected blow on both sides of her, were shocked and staggered.
Garam clenched her fists and laughed.
“Reversal art…!”
I’ve heard of it. In the East, there is a secret agent’s technique of making not only wigs and eyebrows, but also facial expressions look like someone else’s.
But no matter how much they resemble humans, I never thought they could imitate a completely different race. Instead of running away, the Protestant agents hid among the enemies and watched their movements.
A fat elf jumps up with his warrior’s sword raised, and throws his disguise imitating his belly fat into the air.
And I shout in the voice of someone I know.
“Invincible Christianity!”
“Manmaangbok-!”
“Break a path with the determination to break through. The fate of the Dead Sea is at stake at this moment! I will not forgive anyone who runs away in fear!”
“My name-!”
Would it be difficult for that body to withstand dozens of arsenic poison injections? The devil’s fragments blink and stagger.
The head of the Cheonmushin cult, Yeongrak, fell on the heads of those guys. Demonic energy rose explosively from the flesh of those who were torn apart by a single blow.
As the agents’ subsequent assault causes several of them to fall at the same time, the path for us to advance opens up in an instant.
“Damn it, I thought you would be safe!”
Eshen jumped and folded his legs and shouted in delight. And with a dull movement, we kicked the jaw of another fragment that was trying to grab us.
‘Aptitude for fighting’. The muscles are filled with explosive elasticity, and what is strangled is broken and what is hit is crushed.
What spurs the performance of such a slaughter tank is Tigris’ blessed aggression and athleticism.
When the fragment of the demon lord with the broken jaw reflexively swung his fist, Eshen without hesitation ripped off the skin above the bastard’s neck with his fingernails.
Even if the opponent is a fragment of the Demon King, in the end, its composition is the human body. The head of the giant, who was unable to defend himself due to poison, was crushed by successive knee strikes.
I was momentarily entranced by the sight, which was more intense and life-threatening than ever before. It feels like all the jokes that I might tell Eshen one day quickly escape my mind.
“You thought you would be safe?”
But not everyone lost the courage to joke. As soon as it landed, someone jeered mockingly at the beast, whose eyes were shining as it searched for its next victim.
“If you really thought you were safe, you wouldn’t have said that. Aren’t you worried inside?”
“Isn’t it obvious? If you have time to care about other people’s feelings, share it with your partner, you little bastard!”
“Did you deliberately not show this to improve the morale of your colleagues? Eshen, who used to be self-indulgent and thought that only his own feelings mattered, has now become quite dignified!”
Leni exclaims, smiling leisurely. But her body is moving urgently. It is to avoid the fearsome oversized war ax wielded by the Demon King.
‘Aptitude for inspection’. Eyes that see through the deadly fight between each other’s blades, and a body already deeply imbued with the principles of swordsmanship. Lenny, like Eschen, is also a born fighter.
However, the difference in physique between the two is clear. There is a clear gap in the speed derived from strength and the heaviness of the weapon.
When the Demon King sharply slashes the blade as if he were chopping firewood, Lenny’s two-handed sword screams and barely escapes. The ability to retreat and avoid or even try to block has reached its limit.
However, it is said that those who understand their weaknesses are strong.
Lenny is an indomitable person who has trained his small physique to the level of a top fighter. He is also a cynical realist.
Isn’t it natural that they would have thought hard about ways to overcome their shortcomings?
The folding shield of the So-Elan knight unfolds profoundly, pushing away the ax that was about to strike again from the side. Blocking from the front requires the same amount of force, but changing the trajectory can be done with a small amount of force.
Perfect timing. The man’s misaligned blow hits the ground. At the moment when the balance of the muscle mass that was hit in vain is shaken, Lenny’s blade soars, sliding across the shield.
The fragment of the Demon King stabbed deeply in the shoulder and spit out pitch black blood.
Lennie’s eyes show shock and satisfaction. Even if it is only a small fragment of his personality, he surpasses the legendary warrior solely with his skills.
But at that moment.
“It’s vain.”
When Mithra gestured, one of the demon king’s fragments left behind pulled the lever of the mechanism with all its force.
Edin’s heart, fixed in the center of the machine, emits a dazzling light. Directly towards Lenny and Eshen.
The moment he felt the light piercing her eyes, Lennie paused as if he felt something strange.
The fragment of the Demon King, who stopped the sword digging into his intestines, looks down at Leni and smiles as if there is something wrong.
Meanwhile, Eshen, who was about to kick another fragment, was caught and was caught by the ankle due to the lack of force in the blow.
I have a cold feeling. It’s clear something happened to the two.
“I lost my aptitude!
But I knew this would happen.
“Please provide cover!”
As Eshen shouted just before being thrown down, Nenya quickly stretched out her staff.
The vine forearm, which was like a giant’s hand, struck down one fragment at the same time and blew it away. The other one was hit by Nidroga, who threw her whole body, and it fell to pieces.
Lenny and Eshen, who had escaped danger, rolled on the floor and retreated. And then I met her eyes.
“···I should eat it, right?”
“It’s fucking uncomfortable, but…!”
The two take out medicine bottles from their arms. With a very uncomfortable expression.
That is our shield against the ‘enemy confiscation’, the weapon taken over by Mitra.
···And it is also the liquid that was in my body.
————
A few hours ago. Somewhere in the Elan Forest.
Thanks to the time left after creating the ‘best’, his father also came up with a recipe for an alchemy potion to combat aptitude seizure. The name is simply ‘Aptitude Restoration’.
Fortunately, all the ingredients were available in Elan Forest. From medicinal herbs that grow naturally in a rich ecosystem to Tan Bantai, which just arrived.
Right. This time I am the material. The most essential ingredient for the aptitude restorer was the body fluids of the Great Warrior of God.
At that point, the party members’ eyes became stinging. I hastily added.
“Again, I’m not trying to feed you some weird fetish.”
“That’s the setting.”
“Stop being such a bitch. If you swallow it, you’ll like it.”
As I hesitated at the strange blow, some colleagues booed. There was no time to make excuses.
Villena is shaking her thumbs wildly, like a spectator at a gladiatorial arena. As I was wondering why this was happening, Nidroga whispered to me.
The joy I expressed when we met again was much more lukewarm than expected, so I got upset.
···My sin is great.
Meanwhile, the sister who was quietly listening to the commotion answered for me with a faint smile.
“Everyone shut up.”
A good healer is the authority and law of the party. The eldest sister looked around at the idiots who kept their mouths shut, and continued speaking, satisfied that her point had worked.
“Again, this potion has the effect of returning the power of lost aptitude. For now, it is the only solution against Danar’s manipulations. Since no one has needed it so far, it is also a solution that did not exist in the world a few hours ago. It’s better than dying without even saying anything, right? These days, people don’t know how to be thankful.
“Oh, you old bastard…”
“Who are you?”
Morgan sneakily hid behind Eshen. Eshen said as she moved out of the way to give Morgan a clear view.
“I’m going to drink it eventually, sister. But it’s true that it feels uncomfortable.”
“Wasn’t it dirty when you washed it?”
As Lilith next to him mumbled, Eshen instantly performed a calf kick with a calm expression. Adamantone, who had once been hit by that kick, was startled and backed away.
Lilith, who had accepted with a grin on her face, the next moment, let out a silent scream and rolled on the floor, holding her calf. Leni, who was looking at this pitifully, helped Eshen.
“···It’s a different situation back then. For example, would having someone else’s saliva enter your mouth while kissing feel the same as drinking spit from a bowl?”
“It may be different. But obscenity is in each person’s heart. They are like devils.”
The sister who was earning 100,000 won per day completed the defense I was unable to express.
“Why do you think that the ingredient is naturally that liquid? 12 people shared 3 bottles of medicine containing plenty of Tan’s body fluids, right? Even if Tan was a male horse, one ejaculation volume would not have exceeded 100ml. Today, it was difficult to move. I guess I had to squeeze it out.”
“Is that so?”
“That means…”
“There was military blood donation equipment at Skirnir’s house. I only drew enough blood to not harm my health. Tan also has an important role.”
The eyes of the party members return to me. I feel guilty as they look at my somewhat haggard face.
“What does everyone think of tan that makes you conclude that it is an obscene substance? I am asking you to treat your colleagues fairly.”
“···Rather than suspecting Tan, that. To be precise.”
Isilun crossed his clasped hands and said.
“I heard that Sister Monica helped me in the process of obtaining the liquid…”
“That’s right. As long as it was clean body fluid without any waste mixed in, I squeezed out everything.”
“Yes?”
“Out of 36 bottles, four are winners. The rest are diluted blood or saliva.”
I turned my haggard face and looked away from the party members. The party members looked at the sisters blankly.
The ancient succubus raised her brightened face and glared at the others as if asking what they were going to do.
“The more there is, the better. The effect of the potion is only temporary, and it will lose its effect after a while.”
“Should I be thankful that there is no urine…”
“···If it’s cum, it’s cum. What’s the winning?”
“I wonder if he is a person who is tied to a lustful spirit. Isn’t he so ill even in what may be his final battle? Does he have to be tied to fetishism at an unexpected moment to be relieved of his instincts?”
My words. Why on earth do I have to squeeze my mouth again and again to lose energy just a few hours before the biggest mission of my life?
Of course, to give three bottles to each person without doing that, you would probably have had to squeeze out cerebrospinal fluid. If you think about it that way, you might even be thankful.
If I were in a parallel universe fighting the Absolute Ishtar in the Underdog Mitra episode, at this point I would have become like a biological machine with tubes inserted into my body mercilessly and pumping out potions…
“I-I won’t do it. If I die fighting, I’m dead. I don’t drink that kind of stuff. Try changing your stance. Would you be able to speak up, Tan?”
“I’d rather die.”
“Did you hear? I won’t drink it. If you don’t have the aptitude, you can just fight with your bare fists, right?”
Someone desperately appeals. Isilun looked back with a pitiful expression.
“Ah, about that. You don’t have to get involved in this fight, little brother.”
Adamantone, who had become thoughtful, was relieved. But the next moment he opened his eyes wide.
“···You don’t have to wear it, what does that mean-“
“You’ve had a hard time. I asked Forest Keeper Skirnir to take you home.”
“You decided that without saying anything…? Still… Isn’t there something I can do to help, sister?”
“I’ll tell you bluntly, you can’t keep up with the level of a top fighter, little brother.”
Isilun decided coldly.
“It’s not your fault that you need training, but that doesn’t mean I can’t put you on a mission this dangerous. You might become a burden.”
“Still, I want to stay. Are you telling me to come all the way here and run away?”
“It’s not your escape, it’s my consideration. I won’t treat my younger brother as a meat shield to fill my head.”
When Isilun turns to the rest, the party members nod. The warrior who lost not only the warrior’s sword but also the battlefield became meditative.
Everyone respected the reliable Isilun and agreed to Adamantone’s departure, but at the same time, they seemed to respect Adamantone’s personality itself, which was perhaps a little reformed.
The crucial reason why ‘I am not sure if you are completely free from the influence of the Demon King and Mithras’ is because no one has said anything.
Adam Manton hesitated and eventually lowered his head.
“Well, it might not be that important when you have to fight against a god. If you didn’t mix the ingredients and put them in each bottle separately, you could have marked what ingredients it was made of, right?”
The topic returned to potions.
Erina, who was hesitant among the dumbfounded party members, raised her hand and spoke.
“Have you ever thought of writing it down with a pen or putting a label on the neck of the bottle? I guess there are people who prefer sweat to other secretions.”
“That’s…”
The sister cringed a little and looked at Lilith.
Eshen, who was carelessly stepping on Lilith’s fallen buttocks, flinched when he heard a squeak coming from beneath his feet.
“While assisting with the dispensing of the extracted body fluids, each person put up a sticker indicating what body fluids were contained…”
“So?”
“I went out to ventilate for a moment and when I came back, everything was gone.”
The criminal continued to giggle as if he had no intention of hiding what happened. Garam was furious and kicked her sister.
Most of the party members soon realized what was happening and joined the soccer game. The ball that makes the laughter grow louder every time it is kicked has a name. Lilith.
“This bitch…!”
“What are you thinking about that makes you sick again? Is your body itching because you don’t have enough?”
“Yeah… That’s the look on his face. That look of disgust as he doubts whether the potion he’s about to consume came from the hole of the needle or the hole of the banana…”
“···Step on this bastard. Bury it like this!”
Lilith, who had a vicious fight with our party in the past, seems satisfied with the simple fact that she screwed up the combatants in our party.
Confused. Someone said they just want to watch the world burn.
But even for a moment. Lilith must have stepped on a spot that was too painful to hold on to, so she quickly glanced at me and held out her hand. I can clearly feel the intention to hide inside my body.
···Instead, I can clearly picture myself being beaten.
I didn’t want to get caught up, so I took a couple of steps back. The guardian spirit, embarrassed, started crawling this way.
“Master? I worked hard to save your life, but can’t you betray me like this? Can’t I help you?”
“Who are you?”
“···Hey, you bastard! I will cut off all the lifelines you worked so hard to connect inside your shell!”
Lilith’s desperate swimming on bare ground was faster than my running. Thanks to this, my escape became something close to a horror story.
While I was running away screaming, Rod, who was standing side by side with the sisters and watching us, muttered leisurely.
“I don’t care.”
Instead of just passing by, I tripped over my own feet and fell. And then he lifted his dirt-covered nose.
“···Yes?”
“Rather, if I could choose, I would have chosen the more erotic one. Even while I was sleeping, I remembered the taste, so I sucked it.”
“···Yes?”
Even his sister was shocked when Rod gently tasted him again.
However, even if it were a sister, I probably shouldn’t have been dumbfounded and surprised. Lilith caught up with me in an instant, transformed into a spirit body and was sucked into my skin like lotion.
And immediately Eshen’s kick hit my butt.
“Screw you!”
“···Surrender. Stop. Wait a minute! It was Lilith who did this, not me! Why are you so angry at me!”
“It went inside you. If you kick the barrel, wouldn’t a rat crawl out at some point?”
“Are you not guarding the guardian spirit properly? Take responsibility for it!”
“Shouldn’t you have kept an eye on them to make sure they didn’t do anything foolish?”
————
···For that reason, Leni and Eshen end up making very uncomfortable expressions. However, we cannot hesitate in a battlefield where our lives are at stake.
The two drank the potion, which was stained dark green due to the herbs, as if it were bitter cold medicine.
And in the meantime, another fragment approaches, pushing away the things that were unable to recover. The moment when Nidroga, who was holding up Lenny’s shield to block several people, was unable to hold on and fell backwards.
The two of them flew up from behind the shield and jumped, trampling the demon kings one by one. Nidroga cheered as he spat out the demon king who had crushed him and blew him away.
“It worked, the medicine worked!”
“It’s okay. If you work through it, you won’t be able to give it a shot. To those bastards who think they can take anything if they have that ability!”
Danar next to the throne widened his eyes in astonishment at the sight of Eshen crushing the fallen Demon King with his regime.
The Magus-class wizard’s slander was indeed effective. The enemy has one less weapon.
Eshen, who was struggling to protect Lenny and Nidroga, spat out bloody spit and threw away the fragments of the corpse.
Mithra, who cut up the fragments in despair, crumpled his face at Eshen’s finger.
“Just wait there, you bastard from beyond the sky! Whether it’s a friend or an enemy, I’ll teach you clearly that if you touch someone else’s property on the ground, it will be destroyed!”
