Chapter 170
After episode 170 (3),
I felt a slight pain in my shoulder, but it was just an itch. I ignored it and took the next step.
There wasn’t really anything to use as a stepping stone, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t a way.
My booty landed on the underside of the upper vine and sent my body shooting back down.
A black air current formed around my body and caught up with Biryuho again. Biryuho also opened his mouth targeting me.
Kagagak.
Once again, our bodies crossed and scars were carved into each of our bodies.
Biryuho’s skin was torn like a burst drum, and there were claw marks on my waist so deep that my internal organs were visible. In the midst of
“poison 14%,”
the poison gauge is steadily accumulating, although not steeply.
I adjusted my sword as the scent of flowers wafted from all directions. It is said that flowers have the strongest scent just before they wither, but I wonder if that is true.
Fasssssuk.
But it is not time to rest yet. Without fail, I ran to avoid the rotting scaffolding.
There is no need to worry about back injuries. Bandages and clothes will heal quickly and are no different from first aid. That’s enough.
[Kuhuhuheuung!]
Biryuho, which healed the wound with a single roar, quickly chased after me. Damn it. The black crack swallowed most of the guy’s upper body. The dull red eyes seemed to gradually become engulfed in madness.
However, the number of vines sprouting has increased, perhaps because they are gaining power at the expense of intelligence. The speed is also fast, and it is now difficult to downplay it.
Squeezing my survival instinct to the limit, I’ll lose my head trying to find it with a bow.
thud.
Finally, after exchanging sums a few more times, I made my choice.
Thinking that he could no longer find his way with the thin stems, he stepped on a pillar that even three adult men could not wrap around.
[Did you get caught…!]
Let’s go!
“…!”
However, at that moment, the lantern collapsed as if it had been waiting. The sight of it scattering like ashes, or like thousands of butterflies, was just beautiful.
However, the stems that gather between them are never pretty. I’m not trying to turn people into pirate roulette toys, but wouldn’t I be in trouble if it poured out without a gap?
I pursed my lips and swung my sword in somersaults at various angles. I felt like I was a top, but it was for the best.
The body broke off all the branches that tried to attack it and fell down until it reached the innermost part of the vines. This was the land I had longed for.
Even if everything is blocked by tree roots.
Clap!
Is it even the aftermath of the ground turning upside down? It was mud with stagnant water.
The impact of landing was lessened a bit, but thinking about fighting here is just confusing.
thud!
Biryuho followed me and landed on the ground. Clap la la rock. My guess is 50m in the air. Vines gathered together to form a ceiling, as if to completely block the hole.
A crowded gathering with no gaps does not even allow light to enter. The world went dark.
It was a watch that could distinguish very slightly, but it would be easier to fight with your eyes closed than to use it to understand the surroundings.
[Fall in fear…!]
Among them, a faint figure hovered near me. I feel like my speech has become slurred somehow.
[Death… uh…!]
Let’s see. He definitely killed the Great Devil. Looking at the black hole that was getting bigger and his now strange speaking skills…

well, no matter how I look at it, it looks like demonic energy erosion.
As I thought about those random thoughts, I felt the scent of flowers growing stronger.
[Poison: 20%]
Should I say that I’m glad that the madness gauge didn’t go up, unlike there? Or should I say that I am not at all lucky because the poison is rising?
After some deliberation I made a decision.
[Cow!]
Cough!
Let’s rank things like X.
I took a step back, swatting away the downturned claws. Phew! As expected, the follow-up hit came and split the spot I was in.
counterattack? I decided to wait a little longer on that. No matter how sharp my senses are, my night vision is not as good as that of a wild animal.
Your eyes need to adjust to the darkness a little more. Or, you may be able to find Biryu Lake with just sounds or a few other clues.
Anyway, for now, it is best to move forward step by step rather than hastily.
Chajaeng!
But just a little, just a little… the other person was obnoxious.
What I’m saying is that once you’ve conquered the great devil of cancer, you should confidently attack it head on. Don’t play with tricks like darkness, scaffolding, or Hadok.
「Poison 32%」
[Heeheehee!]
Ah! The poison gauge and the laughing sound are really annoying!!
I held the hilt of my sword tightly, wondering if Biryuho was that kind of character. I’m sorry. The sword that held on even when it caught the Great Devil is slowly screaming.
I didn’t change it due to my wallet situation, but I guess it was a bit of a mistake. Money is not more important than life.
Whip!
But what can you do if you have no money? The cost of repairing the bridge was too much.
However, I can’t really open my hands to the Archmage or other people.
I urgently checked my durability and blocked another attack. Based on experience, if it has this level of durability, it will soon break.
Sigh!
“…!”
[Kill… Kill…!]
Well, it looks like he will die from excessive blood loss before the sword breaks.
I was conscious of the number of stab wounds all over my body.
There are no scars as deep as those carved on the side, but numbers are numbers. It’s okay now, but I don’t know if it will be okay later. Considering the record, there is a possibility that it is a safe ticket.
Coo coo coo coo coo.
However, it looks like they are trying to prepare a strike under the cover of darkness.
A flow of air was felt in a space where no wind was supposed to blow, and a tremendous amount of energy began to gather accordingly.
It would be foolish to miss this, whether you can see it or not.
“Is it there!”
In preparation for this moment, I had condensed magical power into the sword in advance. Sigh. Three slashes were launched with a metallic sound.
Since there is no need to worry about anything else, the sword skills that have been forged to the limit by concentrating all one’s mind are extremely narrow and detailed.
Suddenly!
“…!”
The feeling of being cut filled my fingertips. It’s not the usual heavy taste, but a vague sensation, like slicing light cotton candy as if it’s about to scatter.
[Haha!]
‘It’s a trap!’
As soon as I realized that fact, I decided to take the next action. However, Biryuho’s eyes were right in front of him. Its eyes shine brightly thanks to the reflective plates unique to wild beasts.
Phew!
“…!”
One after another, Biryuho’s body ‘passed’ me, and a cold, wet sensation hit my entire body right behind me. Sigh! The cool and refreshing sound of waves filled the cave.
Purr.
Air bubbles spewed out from my mouth before I could even breathe properly.
If I hadn’t reflexively slammed my sword into the ground, I would have been caught up in the water current pounding my limbs by now.
Aside, why is this damn tiger cub suddenly using a water attribute skill? Is it possible that the water type was added because the Sky Whale was the one that got away with it? What kind of mega evolution is this?
Sigh!
Meanwhile, the ability to make grass grow remains the same. The poison gauge is now over half way and is rising rapidly.
I’ve been thinking about this since I ate the devil raw, but I wonder if this guy has a conscience.
I barely swallowed a curse as I felt the presence of a tree trunk that almost pierced my shoulder.
In addition, I also thought about whether being swept away by the water current would be less damage than that or whether this would be less damage. If you misjudge, it will lead directly to a crisis.
Sigh!
The opportunity to reflect on this did not last long.
I felt a branch growing rapidly brush against the back of my neck. The ankles are already tied to the stem.
Let’s just throw ourselves into the water. After making a quick decision, I drew my sword and moved my legs. Kwasik. My body was immediately swept away by the current.
However, as if they were targeting that moment, I immediately felt a presence on the other side. My arm moved in an awkward motion.
Suddenly!
I think the cut this time was something similar to self-immolation. The taste is weak.
Purr.
I started kicking my feet as I saw signs coming from all directions.
A check is a check, and a response is a response, but essentially, I was human. If you don’t breathe, you die.
[Die… ah!]
But the moment my hand touched the ceiling, I realized. This place was filled with water with no room to breathe.
‘This is a bit dangerous.’
A chill ran down my spine.
“Hwaaaap!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The moment my instincts violently rang the alarm bell, a huge shock accompanied by brilliant golden light shook the heavens and the earth.
The ceiling broke, light came in, the water drew concentric circles from the center, and the water level changed.
Luckily, I was near the edge and as the water level rose, I floated upward. It was a bonus to try to hold on to the broken part to prevent it from falling again.
“Demon knight!”
But there was no particular need for that. A white chain flew out and entangled my hands.
I got goosebumps and all my senses were on edge, but that didn’t stop my brain from exploring.
I held on tighter to the chain wrapped around my forearm.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The body pulled together with the chain soared above like a fish caught in a fishing line.
“joy!”
Soon, an Archmage chanting a spell and a Berserker with a sullen expression were seen. I don’t know how everyone found out, but it was good timing.
“Sparring twice, no, three times!”
But I don’t see a single person there. That would mean that the person who broke in by smashing the wooden ceiling was also the Inquisitor.
I thought about that as I shook off the chains hanging from my forearms.
“Protect me!”
Along with that, the Archmage formed a small shield. It was just a curtain protecting me.
Paaaaat!
Just as I was about to question that point, a huge golden wave filled my vision.
It was the power to purify all negativity in the world and destroy evil.
‘Damn it.’
Even though the magical power block was clearly blocking all of the divine power, I fell to my knees. Whoops. Blood was vomited.
“Are you okay?”
I don’t think this will be so sensitive that you have to ask.
To lighten the situation a little, I did something I had no intention of doing. The blood vessels in my eyes had burst, so my vision was a little red.
“You have a lot of scars.”
“I fell weak. From now on, Berserk will fight.”
No, it’s not that I’m weak…
I denied it in my mind and then stopped. A true expert fights well even in the dark. It may be true that this is a lack of skill.
“I said it before, if you can do it, try it.”
However, this is not a problem that Concept can ever admit to. In the first place, it doesn’t look like Biryuho, which was hit directly by that divine power, will be okay.
Even that power is still flowing from the center. Just in the aftermath, the plants return from purple to a healthy green color, but is Biryuho, which swallowed the devil, still alive?
After much deliberation, I wiped away the bloody tears and nosebleeds with a calm attitude.
HP is now hovering around the bottom. If the Archmage hadn’t put up a magic shield, he might have died instantly.
“Tsk.”
Oh, by the way, I said that the White Wind should not be in a near-dead state.
I reflexively touched the area around my right shoulder. Thanks to the gauntlets and several layers of clothing, it was somewhat difficult to feel the presence of the seal.
However, it doesn’t look like it’s broken yet, as there’s no feeling of rustling inside the clothes.
“You think Berserk can’t do it?! can do!”
Oh yeah. If you can, do it. Who said what?
Anyway, as long as the divine power continues to spread, I cannot go outside of this curtain. Even though the poison gauge no longer rises, the rate at which it falls is very slow.
“Now, calm down.”
Before the battle of pride between me and Berserker could get longer, the Archmage comforted Berserker. It was then that the overflowing wave of divine power stopped.
The world where the demonic energy was purified and the color regained its flawless and clear color filled my field of vision.
Some parts are purified in a way that burns instead of becoming clear, creating a gap for water to escape. Shoot ahhh. Water leaked between the roots, showing the inside of the hole.
The Heretic Questioner, radiant, was just standing up in the middle of the pit.
The body of the Biryu Lake is nowhere to be seen, as if it had been burned.
“What, have you killed the tiger already?”
Ah, that sentence…!
Kugugugugugung.
The moment Berserker thought like that, the ground began to shake. Then the ground right in front of the Inquisitor boomed! And it exploded. What sticks out from among them is Biryuho, whose entire body is burning.
[How how.]
Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
The crack in its chest grew wider.
[How…!]
Even more so.
[Ah!]
So much so that it swallows the body whole.
[… Angry, did you think it would end like this?]
Behind the tiger’s back, a translucent whale’s fin resembling bloodbath floated up.
