chapter 28
028. Ghost Busters.
Unlike making knuckles, the process and results of making sticks were unpredictable.
“Wow… … Seed… … .”
Rion, who was rapidly sucked in by divine power, passed out.
“This kind of stuff!”
Caltheon left Leone alone and went straight to work.
“The creative soul boils!”
Thanks to that, when Leon came to his senses. Leone was lying on the forge floor.
“knife… … Theon?”
Originally, it was a situation that would have made Leon angry, but fortunately he got it right on time.
It was completed before Leon woke up.
“It’s done!”
“… … Oh oh! really?”
“Here it is. Let’s see.”
There was a reason why Caltheon was proud.
Size about 50 cm as requested.
Exterior densely sculpted with the Church of Dawn pattern.
What Leon requested was a club, but Caltheon made a work of art.
“Isn’t it nice?”
“I poured out my soul.”
But it was perfect up to this point.
An unexpected problem appeared in the process of using the club.
This wasn’t a club.
“what’s this?”
“I don’t know why you ask me that.”
“You made it!”
“no. Didn’t the Holy Son give you the ingredients? I made it exactly as you requested.”
“What the hell is this?”
“I mean.”
It wasn’t bad.
However, there was a distance from the club.
Thanks to this, the time in the forge increased.
“Is this the right way to write it?”
It was rewarding to head to head with Caltheon. Gradually, I learned how to use it.
“Wow, big and beautiful!”
“Is not it?”
The newly created weapon was only 50 cm tall, but it was large and beautiful.
It was a weapon revolution.
“I realized for the first time today that my imagination is poor.”
“uh?”
“Thank you very much. I will use the realization given by the Holy Son to make a sword.”
What bullshit is this again? Anyone else would have asked what he was talking about, but Leon was different.
“Everything was guided by God.”
“Oh, indeed! you’re right! Almighty God!”
I played drums and drums by myself, but I didn’t have to wake up from colic.
“Then suffer. I’ll call you later if I need you.”
“Yes. I will devote myself to making the holy sword. The Sword Saint you said, I will make it.”
“great. suffer.”
After breaking up with Caltheon, Leone came out.
“Stand by!”
“Yes.”
Out of the shadows came a man different from the man I had seen before.
“Let’s go to the main altar.”
“Yes, I will see you.”
Now that everything is over, it’s time to meet Grandma.
* * *
Unlike when she confidently went to the Blade of Dawn, she couldn’t meet her.
Instead of Grandma, Hogu No. 4 and bartender Flix were waiting.
“Are you done with your business?”
“Is Granny still taking a break?”
“… … You knew that too.”
“Roughly.”
Leon nodded as if he knew everything.
“Yes. You are resting now. The aftermath of the tattoo work has not gone away yet.”
In addition to the ‘soul tattoo work’ that puts a lot of strain on the body, it even has a curse. It was natural for Grandma to lie down.
‘He looks fine compared to before. The fact that recovery takes a long time seems to have been the same at this time.’
I still had to meet you.
“How long will it take?”
“Are you in a hurry?”
“I’m OK. No problem later… … .”
It wasn’t Leon who was in a hurry.
“It’s related to the old woman’s curse.”
“Yes?!”
he asked in surprise.
“I don’t know about the cure, but I think it’s possible to weaken it.”
“Is that true?”
Flix’s expression changed.
“Yes. Even if the curse doesn’t work, your body will get better.”
“… … Could you please give us a little time?”
You can just wait a few days and talk to the old woman, but if you’re going to wait anyway, you’ll have to skip something.
“like. It’s not someone else, it’s the grandmother’s business. I’ll wait.”
That said, I had no intention of taking a sick person as a hostage.
“thank you.”
The reaction was immediate. Flix’s face showed gratitude.
“Instead, what are you waiting for? Can I help you with any trouble?”
“Yes?”
“My business at the smithy is over, and I just need to meet the old lady. But waiting blankly doesn’t suit my personality.”
“What is that… … ?”
“Isn’t there a job you need a priest for? I will help you.”
“… … .”
He stared blankly at Leon.
Hogu 4 is almost over.
“If you have work, take it out. Something only priests can do. I will help you out.”
“really… … The priest is unpredictable. Thank you for waiting… … .”
He murmured with a moved face.
‘Does this man know how to make a face like this?’
It was just goodwill added to goodwill, but it was far more effective than blackmail or coercion.
‘Because if you live kindly, blessings will come.’
Hogu No. 4 started to take out a lot of work.
The manager of the city, ‘The Blade of Dawn’.
The job is, of course, a ‘mission’.
* * *
The priest asked for the necessary work for two reasons.
‘Mission’ and ‘Experiment’.
Leon placed a condition on the job.
‘A job that only priests can do.’
Even if he was the manager of the city, there wasn’t much to ask of the priest.
‘At best, it’s about treatment.’
Like Leon’s thoughts, most of the missions were requests for treatment.
I was thinking of solving the mission and testing whether the club could be used for treatment.
However, unexpected work was involved.
‘I think that’s what this story is about.’
Before returning, there was a story floating around like an urban legend in Killika.
‘Was this real?’
It wasn’t a big problem or really dangerous.
It was just something different.
Rion checked the notification window.
[Mission: Cleansing the Cursed Mansion]
It says cursed, but it wasn’t really a curse.
‘… … They said there were ghosts.’
A mansion where real ‘ghosts’ appear, not demons or spirit-type monsters.
‘It’s funny to say that it’s a real ghost.’
The owner of the mansion requested several priests to exterminate them, but all failed.
Hearing this, it seems that this ghost is great, but the end of this incident was so empty that it was bland.
‘That great ghost pushed the mansion away. Because he never showed up again.’
Except for the hard work of the landlord, there were no deaths, and there was no major problem.
When Leone showed interest in cleaning up the mansion, Flix intervened.
“Do you care about that mansion?”
“Ah, it’s amazing.”
“This building was bought because my mother told me to buy the surrounding land properly.”
“uh? Did you buy this?”
Unlike before the return, it seems that the mansion was purchased at the blade of dawn.
“Yes. It’s a problematic item to say in return, but if you clean it yourself, I’d like to give you the mansion as a gift.”
“You’re just giving me the mansion?”
“I bought it because I needed the land attached to the mansion. The original plan was to demolish the building.”
Although the offer of the mansion was appetizing.
‘This man is walking on a wrong foot.’
Leon knew why Flix was pushing for the ‘cleansing of the cursed mansion’.
“Are you also practicing how to lift the curse?”
It was a rehearsal before tinkering with the old woman’s curse.
“… … Did you notice? I treated you in good faith, but if you feel offended, I’m sorry.”
“no. Is it because you’re worried about grandma? It’s not that I don’t understand.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Of course, it was another reason that made me understand Leone.
‘Maybe it’s not a curse? It’s completely understandable that I’m giving you a mansion!’
I didn’t have to refuse to give him a mansion.
“Then I’ll stop by here first.”
“I will attach a guide.”
“I will go into the mansion alone. I just need to take you there.”
“All right. Priest, thank you very much.”
Where is this man going to end it with his bare mouth!
“If you’re sorry, put it on debt. If there’s anything I want to ask you later, I’ll tell you.”
“All right. I will engrave it.”
It was perfect until the 1st request.
‘It’s a ghost hunt!’
Leone moved to the haunted mansion.
* * *
“There it is.”
Like the word haunted mansion, the mansion looked gloomy for no reason.
There was no need to be afraid.
Leon replied calmly.
“I will be back.”
“I’ll wait.”
Passing through the open gate, Leon moved inside.
Contrary to what I thought, the inside wasn’t so gloomy. On the contrary, it was very well maintained.
‘not bad… … uh?’
Before he even thought it was okay, something bizarre caught Leon’s eyes.
[priest? want to catch me? Because you can’t even see it? This house is mine! mine!]
A translucent ghost appeared.
‘You said no one saw it?’
This was not the problem. Another unexpected problem appeared.
[Mission: Cleansing the Cursed Mansion]
[The mission is changed.]
‘change?’
Before Rion could even think of a question, a new notification window appeared.
[Mission: Extinction of the Fallen Spirit]
[If the mission fails, destruction will be accelerated.]
‘crazy. Did it change to an enhanced mission?’
The auxiliary mission has been changed to an enhanced mission. What’s more surprising than that.
‘Is that a spirit?’
It was mission content.
No matter how I looked at it, it looked more like a ghost than a spirit.
[I’ll bother you! get out! go away! This is my house!]
‘Looking at the talking bastards, they’re 100% human.’
obsession with things.
nervous attitude.
No matter how you look at it, it was a ghost created by the death of a person.
‘ah. The trouble ends here. Let’s catch it.’
It’s a worry, you can do it after you catch it.
‘Guys, let’s work!’
Divine power was put into the roots, and the halo turned on.
[Catching the form without being seen! Ebebe, Ebebe. Can’t you see?]
The guy walked around Leon and chatted. Leon’s head turned toward him.
[uh?]
“What is it?”
Leon swung his fist.
Fuck!
The guy was pushed back.
[Quaagh! bone! bone! You’re right! for a moment! Wait a minute!]
When Leon hesitated at the reaction that seemed to have been hit for the first time in his life, he did not miss the chance and fled into the sky.
[The priest swings his fist?! You crazy priest! This shit!]
The guy started pouring rants from the sky. Leon quietly took out the club hanging from his waist.
[why? Will you throw that too? You ignorant priest! am i a dog? Ask for a pairing!]
Abusive words poured out, but Leon’s expression did not change.
He held a stick and prayed.
“Oh God. I believe.”
[haha! Do you get wings when you pray?]
The guy shouted as if nothing had happened, but even if he didn’t grow wings, something else would.
“My faith in God reaches all the way to heaven.”
[under! Do you know how easy life is? If you pray, everything will be done!]
He would have thought it would be easy if he had become a priest, but Leon felt sorry for the ghost.
“Grow up. trust.”
[That’s big… … !]
With Leon’s words, divine power came out from the tip of the club.
Booung!
[this… … it works… … ?]
puck.
[…] … That… … It was a handle… … !]
A ghost has fallen from the sky.
It wasn’t a club in Leon’s hand.
Booung. Booung.
A blade made of divine power.
A handle that looks like a stick.
He had a ‘lightsword’ in his hand.
