Chapter 540 – The Cursed Throne
After those words, the world around Seong-il begins to rapidly collapse.
“Kuk!!”
A mild headache. Seong-il closes his eyes for a while in pain. Seong-il feels someone tapping his back.
“Savage!! Savage!!! Are you okay!!!”
“Big…”
Hearing the thick voice of the dwarf, which he has grown accustomed to, Seong-il stroked his head with his hand to relieve his headache.
“Are you okay?”
“Umm… Ban. How long have I been like this?”
“I sat there for three or four minutes. Mister.”
“Is that so…”
Seeing Sena and Ban looking at him worriedly, Seong-il frowns and gets up from his seat.
“Haa… Haa… Quite an evil force.”
“Evil? What the hell happened?!”
Seong-il’s murmur caused Bruno to ask Seong-il if he was worried. Ban even silently uses 『Seeker’s Touch』, A powerful recovery spell that can only be used three times a day, instead of asking questions.
“Mister. This.”
“Thanks.”
When Ban’s recovery spell is infused with the low-grade healing potion Sena gave him, Seong-il feels that her mind has become much clearer.
“There’s an evil power hidden in that stone statue. You have to destroy it to purify it.”
“What? There’s something like that in the statue?”
“Yes !! I felt it clearly !! I have to break the statue right now !!
In order to give Space Cosmic Kitty the piece of the god of death that he promised, Seong-il creates the appearance of a barbaric warrior who is forced to act.
“…Isn’t it just that your mind hurts?”
In the midst of that, Lazaric sighed and whispered to Van, as if the forced appearance of the holy day had come quite tired.
“Noisy!! I have to destroy that stone statue!!! Aaaaa!!!”
Hardly creating the appearance of a madman, Seong-il holds the cursed sword at his waist and points at the stone statue.
‘Moderately… To a level that doesn’t take a hit…’
Seong-il, who infused his sword with as much internal energy as possible to a level that was not too conspicuous. With a roar, he prepares to thrust his sword at the stone statue.
『Wooooo!!!!』
When Seongil raised his sword to the sky. An intense light emerges from the top of the stone statue and begins to spread to the surroundings.
“Kuu!!!!”
Baptism of power beyond imagination. Not evil, but directly hit by the overwhelming power itself, the party began to kneel one by one with painful expressions on their faces.
“Keep it off…”
Except for the half-party member who is holding up well, the wizard who tried to support them lays in place shaking his body and passes out.
『Do not be afraid.』
“Kuh…!!”
The party, who have not yet lost consciousness at the strong voice heard from above the stone statue, raise their heads with difficulty and look up.
“!!!!”
Then, a strange being appeared. The being made of intense starlight in black, white, blue, etc., In an empty space, looks down on the party with an enormous presence.
Perhaps for the sake of the struggling party, the strange being in front of them shows consideration by reducing their intense power a bit.
As time passed, the pressure lessened slightly. Thanks to this, Senna felt more relaxed and carefully raised her head to examine the existence in front of her.
“S… Space space kitty…?!”
The existence in front of the eyes that looks like a cat made up of a universe like the Milky Way. Senna intuition senses that the existence in front of her is the one that her comrades talk about when they open their mouths.
“That’s a cute name.”
“Heeek…!!”
At her Sena’s cry, her cat turns her head to face her. Then, as the enormous pressure of hers is driven to herself, Senna panics and quickly avoids her gaze by banging her head on the floor.
‘What is this… Why is Kitty here…?’
Seong-il shows a puzzled look when he appears here again.
The time when I couldn’t do this or that and stared blankly at the cat. Seong-il feels a strange power flow from the pattern on the back of his hand.
‘What?’
Seong-il is momentarily taken aback and looks at the glowing pattern on the back of his hand and the cat.
『My apostle.』
‘What…’
Seong-il was at a loss for words at the sudden expression of the cat. Seong-il feels a great power gushing out from the pattern on the back of his hand and taking control of his body.
“Aaaaa!!! Space cosmic meow!! At your command, I found a piece of the evil god!!!”
‘What!! Fuck!!’
When bizarre words come out of his mouth regardless of his will, Seong-il panics and tries to move his body.
However, his own body that does not move even with all his might. Seong-il, who is embarrassed, is talking like a madman even at that time when he is in a panic.
“It is wonderful. In the end, you succeeded in finding the piece of the evil god as I commanded.』
“Of course!! I’m the only believer in the entire universe who is allowed to serve you!! Your champion!! I’m not an apostle!!!!!”
“It sounds right.”
Seong-il is in a panic or not, a cat who calmly talks with him who is talking nonsense. Then he calmly raises his forepaw and swings it towards the stone statue.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Then the stone statue shattered into pieces. And in the middle of it, a piece that exudes wickedly evil energy appears.
『My apostle. There are still two fragments of the evil being that threaten the very existence of the main material world. Retrieve it.”
“Aaaaa”
“It is wonderful. However, both of the remaining two fragments are possessed by powerful enemies. It will be difficult to retrieve the pieces with your power now.”
“Is that so!! But!! Leave it to us!! I will definitely break the enemy’s head!!!!”
Seong-il is fed up with the maddening words that come out of his mouth. He eventually gives up on controlling his body and just watches this crazy play.
『I will give you authority for a while. Try your best.”
“Ohhhhh!!!”
Seong-il cheers as the cat emits a mysterious light. Then, out of nowhere, he radiates the power of the Sunyang from both hands, demonstrates the bankruptcy right in front of the party members, and even uses a black horse.
“Light and darkness. I will give you the authority of those two powers. If you use that power, you will be able to stand against the dragon.”
“Wait… A dragon!?”
As the expression ‘dragon’ flows out of Kitty’s mouth, Bruno forgets to keep his mouth shut in awe and mumbles with a blank expression.
“I did not allow you to speak.”
“Keugh…!!”
When Bruno murmurs, the cat immediately exudes mysterious power and attacks him. In pain, Bruno clutches his head and falls to his knees on the floor.
“Aaaaa! Great space, cosmic meow!
『Courage is imaginary. However, being brave and killing a mighty enemy are two different things. It must be difficult to kill the Red Dragon with your own power. Go immediately to the anvil, the Temple of Justice and the Temple of Knowledge.”
“How come!! You’re a space-universe kitty!!”
The fake (?) Seong-il looks at him with a pious expression and doesn’t know why, and asks.
『I will give orders to justice, knowledge, and the anvil. Get their support. The high priest of each temple will support you.”
“Ahhhhhis and resisting your champion, I want to suffer it !!!!”
‘What are you talking about, you crazy bastard?’
If you keep your mouth shut, it is an opportunity to call out all the main troops of each temple, but when the kicking line comes out, Seong-il feels his blood boiling.
“It’s a great posture. Then, to match the hardship, subdue the red dragon with a party of up to six people. Then I’ll give you the prize you deserve.”
“Thank you! Aaaaa!!!”
“Currently there are four. I will lend you one of my followers.”
‘Family…?’
Seong-il forgets to be annoyed and looks up at him for a while at Kitty’s line, which seems to be sending away a new colleague.
『Come out.』
“…!!”
Then, his inventory opened and Edward appeared in it.
‘No… Mr… Taking someone else’s men at will…!!’
However, whether it is or not, the summoned Edward declares that he will help Seongil by directing the appearance of a loyal servant.
“Great!! For Space Cosmic Kittens!!! Your servant Edward has come!!!”
‘Why is that bastard like that again?’
Seong-Il is taken aback by Edward’s unexpected roar. Then, after augmented reality turns on in his eyes, a message pops up.
『Hmm… That cat is acting by forcibly injecting me with the situation and information of this place and then taking away the right to use my body. Currently, my body does not move according to my will.”
‘Sir…’
After that, the cat, which was shown to the party as if demonstrating Seong-il’s hidden ability like a storm for a while, smiled with satisfaction and projected strange powers on the party.
『Don’t divulge the secret of my existence to anyone. I don’t want to be served by anyone.”
“…!!”
Surprisingly, despite being a divine being, the priest and paladin Van and Bruno look shocked at the cat’s words that they do not want to believe.
“Poetry… A divine being… Rejecting faith…”
Kitty’s answer completely contradicts the existing common sense. The time when Bruno, who was in shock, was frozen. Meowie speaks in a shrill voice as if nothing is wrong.
『Go. Go and defeat evil.”
“I will not disappoint you!!!!!”
Upon hearing Seongil’s answer, Space Kitty smiled and projected soft power on the group to give them a blessing, then disappear in an instant.
‘Such a plague…’
He says that it makes it easy for him to use his strength, but Seong-il feels his teeth tremble at the space kitty’s modification that makes him uncomfortable, far from being a problem.
“Just… What was that being?”
“…Well, it was like a divine being.”
When Bruno, who was in shock, asked Ban, Ban also quietly recited with a hardened expression.
“Wow… Did Space Cosmic Kittens really exist? I thought you were just shouting that you were crazy…”
“…”
Seong-il, momentarily at a loss for words at Sena’s direct words, stares blankly at him. Whether they do or not, Bruno tells Van with a very serious expression.
“…Surely, that being said to ‘command’ the god we worship.”
“That’s right. That means…”
“One of two things. An evil entity trying to play a trick on us. Or…”
It would be better if it was the former case, and it would be okay if I received the help of the temple and received a cure, but the problem was the latter.
“…Let’s go back to the temple. I don’t even want to think about it… But if it’s true what that unknown being said, it’s not a matter to be taken lightly.”
“That’s right. Let’s go straight to the Temple of Justice.”
Two crusaders with hardened faces. In the meantime, Edward whispers carefully into his holy day’s ear so that it can be heard.
『Just now… I have confirmed the information that that mighty being put into my body, but… The apostle serving Seongil-sama tells me to act similarly. Can I do that?”
‘Huh. Do it for once When walking around together, wear invisibility or keep it in your inventory. Got it?’
“Of course. Master.”
‘…Be mindful of the smoke.’
『As I said earlier, that existence has perfectly put the necessary knowledge in my head to operate here. Don’t worry.”
“…”
After that, Edward uses invisibility and disappears like smoke on the spot.
“What is it? That bizarre being…”
“Perhaps Wei!! He treated you!!! A minion of Space Cosmic Nyanko? They said to call them if you need help. Anyway, are those magicians okay?”
“Ah…!!”
One important fact I forgot. Bruno and Ban recover from the shock and quickly support the fallen wizards and cast recovery magic on them. Then, the two wizards stood up with painful expressions on their faces.
“Just… What… Happened… Ah!!”
Lazaric and Edwin look surprised when the huge stone statue in front of them is completely destroyed.
“S*** woo* *** just came in front of us**. Huh?”
When he tried to talk about the Space Cosmic Kitty, his own voice wouldn’t come out. Sena turned her head and looked around with a fearful expression.
“That look…”
Unlike Senna, who is afraid, the seasoned priest Bruno and half of the paladins realize that it is God’s will and keep their mouths shut.
Nod
The two men met eyes and nodded lightly. They quickly approach the wizard and try to make excuses.
“As Seongil said, evil power was hidden in that stone statue. That’s why the two people who were directly hit by that power fainted. It’s probably because of physical problems.”
“I see. What are the risk factors…?”
“Me and Bruno succeeded in purifying it with divine power. When the purifying was completed, the stone statue was shattered in an instant.”
“Indeed…”
The magician unexpectedly nodded as if he understood Ban’s explanation.
‘…The cat must have put some power in the mental system on the two wizards.’
Seeing the sorcerer, a symbol of intellect, answer meekly like that, Seong-il senses that Kitty has manipulated their minds.
‘Fuck… That’s fucking scary…’
Once again, Seong-il recalls how powerful, dangerous, and terrifying kitties are. And, as if the other party members also felt that feeling, they silently left the ruins with a firm look on their faces.
