36 – Feeling Good

Echina aimed her sword at those who prevented her from coming down. In the meantime, the flame spread rapidly.

Echina’s hands holding her sword trembled.

She wore the buff she always wanted so much. She didn’t know exactly what buff she was getting. However, she knew that when she took the golem-slaying test, she definitely received a stronger buff than she did.

Perhaps even with a rough swing of the sword, I could have defeated those men blocking the path.

Even so, she was not confident. She was scared

This was neither practice nor evaluation.

The fiercely burning flames were real, and the men glaring at them to death were not illusions.

Is there anyone else who can help?

Gran went out saying that there was something dangerous in this village, and Cloah was doing an exorcism.

It was different from the time of evaluation when Gran did everything.

I remembered what Gran said to protect Chloe.

She stepped behind her and went back into her room.

Cloe was still saying her prayers with her eyes closed. Chloe did her part.

Echina took a deep breath. There was only one thing she could do. She is to keep Chloe safe as Gran said.

She grabbed her sword with both her hands and went down to the first floor.

Chloe put her hand on Linda’s body and closed her eyes. Her concentration was constantly distracted.

A burning smell came from outside, and the sound of metal colliding was heard.

Surely, that sound was Echina.

It was clear that something dangerous had happened outside. I want to help her, but I can’t.

Linda, who had been calming down, started running wild again a little while ago. Linda’s spasms and resistance grew stronger.

Linda’s body was restored using her divine power, but her wounds only increased little by little. Even if she wanted to infuse a little more of her divine power for Linda, it was no different than her deadly drug prescription.

“It hurts so much….”

Linda groaned softly.

Seeing her child’s face, Chloe was moved. Although she spent a short amount of time with her child, she talked a lot.

The days spent on the battlefield and the days spent at the academy. The girl was envious. She says she too wants to leave her village and go to the academy.

Cloe felt that Linda was her biological sister. She

She wanted to protect the child somehow.

“Please stop….”

It was Linda’s voice, but I couldn’t tell whose wish it was. Of course, it didn’t matter who wanted it. I have no intention of stopping her exorcism.

Cloe offered her prayers and did not stop her Linda’s recovery. Just like that, it was around the time her Linda’s condition calmed down again.

Quang!

The door was wide open.

When the door opened, black smoke flowed into the room. Echina’s face was scorched, and thick blood dripped from her sword.

From noble mtl dot com

Her pupils lost their vitality, and she staggered as if she were hurt.

“Chloe, you have to leave immediately.”

“What? But it’s stabilizing now….”

Linda, who had been convulsing violently, was now asleep.

“No. I can’t be here anymore You will burn to death if you stay here.”

She could have exorcised the demon completely if given a little more time, but she couldn’t afford it.

Chloe nodded and untied the ropes that bound Linda. Together with Echinacea, she untied the string opposite her.

Chloe hugged Linda.

Echina went ahead, and Chloe immediately followed her. It was a mess outside. The flames were consuming the house. If I had been a little later, I would have jumped out the window.

Chloe thought he was glad he wasn’t stubborn. She would have insisted on giving her a little more time if she had been the same as usual.

Seeing the house on fire gave me an eerie feeling. It really could have cost her life.

“Lady, put Linda down when you talk nice.”

It was the village people. They threatened with sharp tools.

“Why are you doing this? You must exorcise her to save Linda!”

“She doesn’t have to save the child. No, she shouldn’t live. Hurry up and give it to me.”

Chloe looked at the villagers with a dejected face.

She doesn’t have to save Linda.

What does that mean?

The adult who was supposed to protect her child didn’t even care about the child’s life.

Amidst the villagers, I saw a woman who was averting her gaze. She was Linda’s mother.

“Hey! Linda’s mother, right? If you leave it like this, Linda will die!”

In Chloe’s arms, Linda’s body began to convulse.

Linda’s mom completely turned her head. She was clearly shaking. She turned around pretending not to see or hear.

Chloe looked at Linda, who was convulsing her.

Poor child.

I felt like I was about to burst into tears.

Her child’s haven is gone.

Chloe and Echina looked at each other at the same time as if they had made a promise.

The two knew exactly what they had to do.

However, the reality did not go as expected.

Kwajik!

Linda, who was convulsing her, bit Chloe’s neck with her sharp fangs. Her blood gushed from her cloa’s throat.

“Chloaaa!”

“Now!”

The villagers did not miss the opportunity and rushed at the two students.

***

Booooong.

Kwaji Jik!

He was fast. I came out, but the forest was not a favorable space for me.

The tree grew thick and fell down with every swing of the staff.

The Prime Devil ran on all fours like a beast. When fighting, he stood up on two legs and attacked with his claws, and when running away he hopped on all fours.

Fortunately, the devil’s wings were broken at the same time as the start, so it didn’t seem to be able to fly.

He was terrifying like a great devil. His body was in the shape of a human, and his head was like that of Cerberus.

Its movement was closer to that of a monster than a demon. He used his fingernails to climb over trees.

The demon flew up and lunged at me.

I swung my staff wide. The wand broke a nearby tree and flew towards the demon.

Kaaang!

The staff rang out with a cheerful sound.

The Great Devil, hit by the staff, flew away and then lunged at me again.

As expected, unlike humans, their bodies were hard.

The demon stopped in front of me.

The dog-like head started muttering something. I couldn’t understand it, but the left head, which I thought was a decoration, opened its mouth.

Dark energy flows from its mouth like fog.

In an instant, darkness spread through the forest.

The moonlight was no longer visible, and even the shadows were gone.

“Demon Hunter.”

It was the devil’s voice.

The devil knew me.

“Heh heh…. I will kill you soon.”

Darkness was not simply used to block vision. A proposal was made for the use of divine power. I had to consume more divine power than usual.

If you can’t see, you just need to focus on hearing and smell. The devil was a man with a body, and the fishy smell was nasty.

Quaak!

A demon appeared from behind and pierced my back with his claws.

“Hmm…. Good stimulation.”

I felt a sharp pain.

Blood gushed out, and my legs went numb as the blood poured out. But don’t forget what to do with the pain.

I threw away my wand and put his hand behind me and grabbed the demon’s head. Then the opposite hand also grabbed the part that became the devil’s torso behind his back.

Chaw ah!

When I pulled the head, it was torn out.

It was a head that spewed dark energy from its mouth.

I put my fingers inside my eyes with both hands and spread them apart.

The demon’s head crackled and split in two. Black blood and demon brains tumbled to the floor. The dark energy that flowed from his mouth suddenly stopped.

“This feels good too.”

I immediately tried to grab hold of the demon’s hand as it pierced my abdomen, but I quickly backed away.

As the dark energy disappeared, the moonlight appeared.

The demon ran like a beast again and headed for the altar. The demon was running towards his corpse.

I picked up my cane and jumped high.

“Hyukcha!”

I expected what that Cerberus-like demon would do.

As soon as I landed, I hit the body of the corpse I killed with my cane.

Quaaang!

The bodies were scattered in all directions as if they had been hit by a bomb. I also detonated the corpse right next to me.

The Prime Devil looked at me blankly. It seemed that the dog’s expression subtly changed. He looked at me for a moment with eyes like ‘what are you doing?’.

“Looks like a recovery potion.”

Now the bastard started muttering something to the head on the right.

Then the head on the right began to mutter as if casting a spell.

At the same time, the demon lunged at me and swung his sharp claws. The head on the right muttered without stopping.

As I stepped back, I fended off the demon’s attack. At first, defense took precedence over attack.

This is because the stomach, which was deliberately treated to target the devil’s head, deteriorated rapidly.

Anyway, the ability of that right head seemed to be a curse.

I didn’t feel much pain, but my right leg, right under the wound, didn’t listen.

I focused on defense and used 4th tier Salvation Healing. In the aftermath of the curse, the healing of the wound was slower than expected.

The devil, who had been attacking like crazy with a curse, suddenly stopped attacking.

Then he turned around and ran towards the village.

Anyway, it seemed that he also retreated to recover.

I threw my staff at the devil.

Quaaagh!

I cut off the devil’s ankle, but unfortunately I couldn’t stop it.
