Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest

37 – Demon Hunt

Gran concentrated his holy power to heal the punctured abdomen. Even though his wounds were cursed, he recovered quickly.

He picked up the cane that had fallen on the floor and moved to the village. He didn’t have time to relax.

Gran didn’t know what happened to the villagers who worshiped the devil as their guardian spirit. However, Chloe and Echinacea, who were exorcising, were in danger.

Gran sped up and headed for the village. The house where the exorcism was being performed was on fire.

He ran, clutching his cane as if to crush it.

The villagers knelt in front of the Great Devil and bowed their heads. His body was trembling as if he was afraid.

I saw Chloe, Echina, and the ancient wolf standing guard over them.

The Great Devil instantly closed the distance and grabbed Chloe’s head and lifted it up.

Chloe was already a wreck. Fortunately, he was barely maintaining his life through the 5th level guardian of light that Gran had given him.

Echina stood next to her holding a sword. She, too, was not well. Her whole body was stained with her blood, but she couldn’t tell whose blood it was.

The villagers were lying in front of Echina.

Quaaagh!

Gran flew high and cut off the great devil’s arm before it was too late.

Booooong.

Immediately after spinning the spear over his head, he struck the devil’s head.

The devil pushed back and grabbed the head of a woman who was bowing his head.

“Kyaaa!”

The devil munched and devoured the woman he had snatched away. Then the torn left side of his neck bubbling up. Likewise, the section of the severed arm boiled up.

Quaak!

Gran stuck his staff into the ground. Then he looked at Chloe’s condition.

“Chloe, are you okay?”

Chloe sat down and looked up at Gran, who was exuding a different atmosphere than usual.

“I’m fine….”

She said with her tears as if she was about to break out in tears. It was Linda that Chloe was looking at.

Needless to say, Linda’s condition was the worst. Her fingernails grew sharp like devils, and her body was full of scars.

“Echina.”

Echina looked at Gran in silence.

“Take care of Chloe.”

Gran spoke softly.

The light that descended from the sky in a straight line hit the staff. A golden shield formed around the staff.

It was the shield of a 6th tier god.

Gran came out of the shield leaving his staff behind.

The demon was still biting the worshiper.

Likewise, the cults were shaking and bowing their heads.

While the demon was recovering, Gran began to apply buffs to herself.

No. 1, Mental and physical stability.

2Nd level, pain reduction.

Third tier, Noble Patience.

Tier 3, Divine Patience.

4Th level, the blessing of hope.

5Th tier, Guardian of Light.

Level 6, Holy Despair.

Actually, the 6th level, Holy Despair, was not a buff. It was a series of divine spells created to subdue and weaken high-ranking demons.

But Gran put such a holy spell on his fist.

As he used a lot of high-level divine spells, Gran didn’t have much divine power left.

The divine power must always be left behind. Just as burnout occurs when magic power is exhausted, even the buffs you have worn will become meaningless if your divine power completely disappears.

Lastly, I had to save it for some restorative spells I might use.

As soon as Gran applied the buff, she rushed at the Great Devil. The demon flapped its wings and soared into the sky like a bat. His wings have also been restored.

I shouldn’t have let the devil fly. No matter what, he had to be kept tied to the ground.

As Gran moved, she tore the clerical uniform that bothered her and tossed it. The appearance of hard and clear muscles was revealed.

“Heo Eok!”

A man who carefully raised his head saw Gran’s body and couldn’t take his eyes off him.

Gran’s muscles were so sharp. Every time he moved, the texture of his muscles rippled like waves.

He suddenly looked around on the floor. Then he picked up a stone slightly smaller than the palm of his hand.

Gran stretched out one arm high in the sky. He was aiming at the Archdemon.

Quaaang!

When Gran threw a stone, a sandstorm instantly erupted. The sound was so loud that the villagers looked at Gran in amazement.

Quaaang!

Gran threw a stone without giving the devil a chance.

A demon who was hit directly by the wing lost his balance.

Gran didn’t miss a chance. He squatted on the floor and he jumped high, bouncing off his body like a spring.

He caught the devil’s feet and fell onto the roof.

The roof could not withstand the weight of Gran and the demon and broke.

The devil hurriedly got out of the building to open up the distance. Dark energy flowed from his head on his left. His right head didn’t stop cursing.

The demon was going to wait until Gran’s holy power diminished by widening the distance. The devil also intended to kill Gran here.

However, Gran’s movements became faster than before. He broke through the wall of the building and came out. As soon as he saw the devil, he rushed.

Despite the fact that the demon withdrew quickly, the wings were caught by Gran.

The wings caught by Gran simmered.

Chaw ah!

Gran tore off his wing and ran to grab his other wing. He was as fast as a wild beast preying on his prey.

Unfortunately, he failed to catch his wings. For a moment, the demon’s skin touched Gran’s hand, and his skin was ripped off.

Gran waved his other hand and broke his chin, from which dark energy flowed.

The Prime Evil turned to the worshiper. The only way to survive from Gran is to use sacrifices.

“Where do you turn your eyes?”

Gran approached and threw his fist at the devil’s side.

Faaagh!

The flesh on his side burst open.

The demon jumped on all fours and bit the worshiper’s neck, pouring black blood onto the floor.

“Quaaagh!”

Although the devil’s body, which absorbed human blood, quickly recovered, he could not outrun Gran.

Before his severed wing could recover, his other wing was caught.

Chwiiik!

The devil’s wings were ripped off like paper.

The villagers watched the fight between Gran and the devil in a daze. No, to be precise, all I saw was something broken and black blood spattering everywhere. Because it was a speed that the eyes could not keep up with.

The demon that was running away suddenly roared.

For an instant, the area became quiet.

Gran, who was chasing the devil, also stopped for a moment due to an unknown sense of incongruity.

Something rang in his ears with a demonic roar. It wasn’t just because of the sound.

Gran stopped his thoughts and chased the demon again.

The devil was dragging his time.

Gran was also human. He had stamina, and his divine power was also rapidly declining. He was at a disadvantage as time passed.

Of course, Gran didn’t care about that part. The demon’s roar from a while ago only bothered me.

“I guess I need to deal with you quickly.”

Gran no longer cared about his stamina and holy power. The important thing right now was to remove the immediate danger.

Quang!

As Gran kicked the floor, there was a sound like an explosion.

He swung his fist mercilessly.

Demon’s recovery speed couldn’t catch up with Gran’s attack damage.

Gran grabbed the archevil by the neck and lifted it up. Black blood and sweat dripped from his hands.

“Go to hell.”

After taking off the demon’s heads, Gran pierced his chest with his fist. He then cut it in half so that he could not recover.

The body of the Great Demon, which was divided into two, bubbling and then stopped moving.

“Ooh, we’re done….”

“Are you going to die now?”

Everyone looked at the corpse of the great devil in despair.

An old man hugged Gran’s ankles.

“Priest…. Please take care of us! The priest has killed the guardian spirit of our village! Now….”

Faaagh!

The old man’s body slumped on the floor.

“Dirty heretic guy. He dared to touch the priest’s body. You sacrificed your children to the devil and followed him.”

“Well, we had no choice but to….”

“You didn’t mean to say that you sacrificed a child to the devil in order to live, right?”

“Do you know who we love to sacrifice children for? We are doing our best to save. Summer solstice… Whoops!”

Before the man finished speaking, Gran grabbed his neck.

“You made a sacrifice to the great devil. Don’t you know what that means? It means that other people may be harmed because of you. You are sinners.”

A popping sound came from the man’s throat. Blood flowed from his nose and mouth, and he became lifeless.

Gran walked towards Chloe.

The exorcism ended successfully. The scars on Linda’s face were gone and the color had returned.

“I’m glad….”

Holding Linda in her arms, Chloe spoke softly.

Ekina, who was sitting next to her, was sitting on the floor as if her legs had lost strength.

“I lived….”

Ekina muttered with her dazed face.

Ancient wolves were also not in good condition. There were bloodstains on his legs as if he had stepped on a bear trap set by people.

“Everyone did well. Then….”

It was at this moment that Gran was about to release his shield and pull out his staff.

Wheeying!

Innumerable arrows fell from the sky, enough to cover the sky.

Gran hastily maintained his protective shield. Arrows killed villagers indiscriminately.

He escaped outside the shield in a rain of arrows.

“Gran!”

“That, Gran!”

I couldn’t let the child die, even if the villagers didn’t know.
