Chapter 645 – How to Become an Alchemist
Rather than using terrible magic, he decided to kill the parasite directly.
“Ah!! Arunrabe!!”
In this situation, Seong-il swears with an annoyed expression when he gets a weapon that can be used optimally and fails to use it.
Thinking that if today’s work passes, I must solve the cursed meteorite problem and make the sword free.
“Fuck off!!”
Seong-il cuts off the head of the terrifying parasite with the blazing sunburst in his hand.
Kugu Palace…!!
‘Oops… He seems to be quite sensitive to flames.’
The Sacred Tree begins to tremble when the Sunyangganggi, filled with immense power, touches the root. Maybe it’s because he’s suffered from parasites for decades and his body is very weak, so he shows a sensitive reaction to even a small attack.
‘It can’t be helped.’
Seong-il evades the attack of parasites that surround him and spew toxic substances from their tentacles and snouts, and uses the incomprehensible ring to apply all sorts of buffs to his body.
Seongil blows a powerful storm of telekinesis in the surroundings with acceleration, strength, physical defense magic, etc. Applied.
Fortunately, attacks other than flames do not cause much pain to the divine tree, so Seong-il is relieved and uses the magic imprint blink to escape the siege and seek a gap.
‘This is a bit dangerous, but…’
Seong-il reverses his inner strength, summoning the fearsome power of death in his hands and slashing the head of a nearby parasite. The parasite that was hit directly by the black slaughterhouse screams and wriggles.
“Where!!”
Seong-il takes care not to touch the divine tree as much as possible, and kills the parasite by spraying black sage as if inserting it into the parasite’s brain.
“Queueek!!”
At first, the group of parasites surrounded Seongil and tried to attack him with poison or tentacle whips. He gives up on what he is doing and frantically sprays poisonous substances around him to block Seongil’s approach.
“Damn it.”
However, Seong-il lightly laughs at their outrage and then leaps lightly to punish them for not uniting.
“Because poison doesn’t work on me?”
With telekinesis densely wrapped around the body, poison does not even reach Seongil’s skin thanks to the double and triple barriers provided by the Chrono Shield and the Ring of Incomprehensibility.
Even, because of the power provided by the Incomprehensible Ring, he was able to ignore poisoning through polluted air as he didn’t even need to breathe.
“Queueek!!”
Despite spraying deadly poison that can kill even an elephant-sized beast in one drop, the monster-like human in front of them doesn’t die, so the group of parasites makes a terrified sound and steps back.
“Chwiiik!!”
Then, all at once, they start spewing disgusting saliva all over the place. Seeing the bizarre appearance, Seong-il hesitates for a moment and pulls his body back to try to understand the situation.
‘This is… An adhesive material?’
Seong-il realizes that they have sprayed a movement impediment to escape, so he rushes at the group of parasites again.
Tsuug!! Whoops!!
Even though a material with tremendous adhesion touches his feet, Seong-il tears the material apart with his brute force and rushes into the group of parasites at high speed. Even, thanks to the method of instantaneously releasing the telekinesis surrounding the body, Seong-il quickly evades the parasite repair work by quickly removing the adhesive material if necessary.
Chwiik!! Acquisition!!
And the group of parasites who saw the terrible appearance start to run away like crazy somewhere all at once.
『Master!! They run away!!』
‘…Is the mind connected?’
The parasites seem to be trying to leave this place together with the far-away group, wondering if they can share the group’s crisis in some unknown way.
『For now, I will pursue alone, so you guys should clean up a bit here and start.』
“To!? Are you still okay!?』
Seong-il’s followers respond in a puzzled voice when he makes a statement that seems to leave them alone and pursue him alone.
However, when Seong-il tells him that he killed 4 or 5 dogs in one breath, his followers obediently agree with him through messengers.
“It’s faster for me to go alone. If you wait, it will be too late. You should focus on removing the dead bodies and poisons of caterpillars that plague the mother tree by alternating themselves.”
『Okay… I’ll quickly organize it and follow you!』
『I guess.』
Seong-il, who sends a message to his followers through augmented reality, follows a group of parasites escaping by stepping on the new law in an accelerated state.
“Kwaweeek!!”
Seeing the monster following at a terrifying speed, the parasite tries to stop the holy day by emitting all kinds of substances from its body as if in a fit of fuss.
However, as their efforts go to shame, Seong-il rides on a rock floated by telekinesis, evades the poison gas while floating, and quickly pursues them.
Even when he blows a rock spear made of material ethereal stone to break their bones, they give up resistance and start running forward like mad, perhaps realizing that their struggles are pointless.
Even if a group member dies, they ignore it as if it went well and run forward for a while. The time when Seong-il easily killed half of the bugs. Before you know it, a place that looks like an exit appears.
“Is this…?”
A desolate desert appeared in front of the holy day. He realizes that he has reached the southern desert.
‘Rock and sand… That’s for sure. It’s the valley of death.’
Unlike the typical deserts of southern countries covered with fine sand, seeing a scene where rocks and sand are half mixed, Seong-il realizes that this is the Valley of Death, a notorious land that even southerners are reluctant to visit.
“Chwiyiyiik!!”
“…Fly?”
Surprisingly, when it goes outside, the parasite sprays sticky saliva on the tentacles on its back to make a kind of membrane, make it like wings, and start flying in the sky.
Seeing the bizarre scene, Seong-il forgets to kill them for a moment and just stares blankly at the scene.
“Oops!! It can’t be like this!!”
Then Seong-il wakes up and casts a spell at the group of parasites with an incomprehensible ring.
“You idiots, if you want to live, you should have scattered. Why are you united until the end… Die!! The terrible death of Nazarus!!”
As Seong-il utters the start word, a brown gas sphere flies forward in front of the ominous ring he is wearing.
And, approaching the cluster of parasites, the gas sphere spreads everywhere like an explosion.
“Queueek!! Queueek!! Queuee…!!
And the group of parasites that were directly hit by the gas start to dry up and die as moisture is sucked out of their bodies, leaving only their skins.
A parasite that killed about 1/3 of the group in one terrible death of Nazarus. Encouraged by that appearance, Seong-il uses the remaining number of uses to kill most of the group.
‘It’s gotten easier since they all took off the divine tree.’
If the parasites had endured on the sacred tree until the end, they would not have been able to use magic for fear of damaging the sacred tree, but thankfully, they crawled out of the sacred tree on their own.
Even foolishly, they did not scatter and united, so Seong-il laughs at their foolishness and throws a huge stone at the remaining parasites.
“Kwoaaaaa!!”
“…?!”
A grotesque cry heard from the other side of the valley while the remaining ten or so parasites were being beaten to death.
Then, to Seong-il’s surprise, a huge monster appears in front of him.
‘…Dragonfly? Hornet?’
The appearance of a monster that looks like a mixture of several insects. It had the body of a wasp, with countless grotesque tentacles swaying from its tail and mouth, and dozens of transparent wings like dragonflies hanging from its back.
And the parasites who saw the monster start running towards it at high speed as if they had met the savior.
“Ah, you look like a mother? You look disgusting.”
Seong-il laughs at the unknown mysterious creature and casts Meteor Swarm, a 9th class magic, using the magic book of all things, which has now become a skill, on the parasites gathered.
Shuwaaaaa!!
Above the heads of parasites and worms, a huge magic circle and cracks in space appear based on it.
In the space beyond the rift, fiery meteorites the size of adults are endlessly summoned to bombard the monsters mercilessly.
“Kooooo!!”
The adult mother shows a bizarre appearance of somehow defending against meteorites that touch her body by spurting dirty saliva all over her body.
“Kwueeeeek!!”
However, unlike its mother, the parasite, which is still poorly equipped for defense, is beaten by a meteorite and its body is crushed or exploded, spraying disgusting bodily fluids everywhere.
“Kwalala lala!!”
In the end, when all of her offspring explode and die, the mother, furious, casts a life-threatening glance at his holy day.
“Disgusting bastard…”
Seong-il frowns in disgust as the insect’s unique compound eyes stare at him.
In the meantime, the bugs start spewing poisonous clouds toward Seongil.
“Another same pattern…”
Seong-il laughs at his attack and commits the eccentricity of taking the attack openly.
“…!!”
However, the toxicity is different from that of caterpillars. Seong-il realizes that his mother’s poison does not simply poison life, but has the power to destroy the essence of mana, internal energy, and vitality.
‘This would be annoying if it worked.’
A situation where you can even feel curses and diseases in poison. For this reason, Seongil activates the blinking of the last remaining imprint and moves away from the poisonous smoke.
“…If we fight with the determination to drink the elixir later, there will be no difficulty in close combat, but…”
After thinking about it for a while, Seong-il shakes her head and gives up the ignorant melee fight as before.
He decides to fight in a slightly different way than before, and opens his inventory and takes out the 『Pulse Gun: Judge』 He got from Pocket Girls.
‘I haven’t used this since I robbed the boss of the Hyper Corps… I wonder if I should try this.’
In the midst of that thought, thousands and hundreds of sharp poison scales start to fly to Seong-il this time.
Seong-il frowned at the nasty attack, which was probably the crumbs of translucent wings, and created an invisible barrier using the Ethereal Stone and telekinesis.
“Ugh, disgusting bastard.”
Frowning at his attack, Seong-il walks away and fires a pulse gun.
Although it is his first weapon, Seong-il, who has transcendental cognitive abilities thanks to empathy, quickly seizes the pulse gun and focuses a powerful attack on the insect’s eye.
The wasp monster screamed out in pain as it exploded as soon as it touched its eyes, and attempted a poisonous attack on Seong-il.
“Where!”
Seong-il starts running around quickly to get away from the wasp that was charging at him while spraying poisonous needles.
Enraged by his actions, the wasp was hit directly by the pulse gun and continues its mad rush with purple blood oozing from its eyes.
“Kuh…!!”
When the giant mantis-like forepaw strikes Seongil and its surroundings, the rest of the rocks and ground except for Seongil are shattered in half.
Fortunately, Seong-il, who was covered with all sorts of defensive magic, was only shocked by the attack and was not seriously injured.
However, Seong-il loses his confidence in the rather menacing attack and once again uses the incomprehensible ring to put on the blessing of Nazarus.
“Messenger!! Hold on to his ankles!!”
『Kuwooooo!!』
At Seongil’s command, the messenger of destruction, which had surrounded him and protected him like a shield, heard the order and rushed into the wasp’s head with a roar.
Although he was the messenger of doom, the size of a truck, he was only about half a head compared to the wasp monster, which was literally the size of a building.
Shhh!! Shiiik!!
When the herald of destruction clings to the wasp’s eyes and violently wields six claws to deliver a terrifying attack, the wasp bleeds a strange mixture of purple and green from its eyes in pain.
Chii Iik…!!
However, it seems that his blood also contains the power of poison that corrodes mana, etc., And the messenger who comes into contact with that blood seems to be quite painful unlike him.
“Hold on a little!!”
Seong-il, who gained time thanks to the messenger’s sacrifice, quickly widens the distance and fires a crazy pulse gun at the wasp’s head again.
Originally, the energy should have been completely exhausted, but the pulse gun, which uses his inner energy as a battery, unleashes a tremendous amount of attacks beyond its specifications.
“Burn it!!”
“Hmm!?”
The time when we were playing tag for a long time and shooting bugs in the head. A phoenix passing by Seongil. As if he is not afraid of his death at all, he casually rushes at the bug’s face while receiving all kinds of attacks with his bare body.
『Kyaa!!』
The Phoenix, which spreads intense flames from his body in all directions, uses his body like a bomb to attack insects. And a bug that is very painful from that attack.
“I’m here to help!!”
Seong-il’s followers and alter egos looked at Seong-il armed and shouted as if they had finished organizing the inside.
“It’s dangerous!! It’s a bastard who uses poisonous clouds, so just use long-range attacks!!”
“Huh!!”
At Seong-il’s cry, followers and alter egos attempt a merciless ranged attack on the wasp from afar using the detective world’s wand and low-grade pulse gun that they have prepared in advance.
Chwiik!! Chwii profit!!
At the attack of such a party, the wasp is enraged and seems to ignore the messenger and rush.
“Where!!”
Then, Seong-il’s ordinary alter egos charged at the wasp with iron swords prepared in advance and assumed the role of meat shields.
Even for them, the alter ego even casts wide-area acceleration magic to help make it easier to sacrifice.
‘…The dualization tactic of a normal alter ego and a split alter ego must be quite strong, right?”
Admiring the appearance of the clone army, Seong-il concentrates again and fires a mad pulse gun at the wasp monster.
Then, it took a long time to summon the dead clone and use it as a meat shield. In the end, the wasp monster, unable to withstand the fierce attack, collapses on the spot with his face half crushed and dies.
