chapter 4
4 – Sacrifice
The power of the Holy Sword is omnipotent.
Disposing of urine and feces, preparing meals, and treating residual illnesses.
An all-purpose holy sword that solves all your child-rearing needs.
But there was something impossible.
It was impossible to write a book.
Well, it would be a little strange for Seonggeom to write a book.
Anyway, in order to get books for the children to read, I had to go to the city where people lived.
So I left the kids alone for a moment and headed to the city.
Although I was anxious about leaving the children alone, I decided it was better than taking them with me.
And once I organized the ranks with the monsters in the forest, they didn’t bother me around.
Above all, the children are so strong that it is possible to eliminate all the monsters in the forest.
Tak
We arrived at the yard of our house as if flying.
Normally, I would be running around outside the house.
Has everyone gone to bed already?
“Guys, dad is here.”
Suddenly
I opened the door and entered the house, but I didn’t feel like I was popular.
It’s strange.
Our children are not the ones who will disappear without a word.
What happened?
I searched the kids’ rooms and bathrooms, but nothing was found.
As I was coming out of the bathroom and heading to the living room, writing on one of the walls of the house caught my eye.
Kwasik
Once I recognized the existence of the text and understood what it meant and what the current situation was, my hands began to shake.
Anger boiling inside my body to the point where I couldn’t control it.
I dare you.
How dare you kidnap our children?
Leah, Alia, Huffness.
I probably think of them like my real daughters.
My daughters…….
Dare!
Tavares, Elise, Babun, and Erica all died because of me foolishly leaving….
We cannot let their children die just because we are away. No matter what!
Keek!
A major forest that has changed significantly from usual.
A pleasant smell and a screaming sound.
A familiar feeling.
Has the devil come to visit?
I thought they were all killed.
Were there any remnants?
I was moving forward nervously.
I heard someone’s voice.
-Nice to meet you, warrior.
The devil smiles faintly and greets me.
“Is it the devil? “I never thought there would be remnants of the devil left.”
I should have killed them all then.
-Remnants? Ha ha ha! I guess I look like a remnant. No no. Different.
Different?
-The one you killed was the first master of hell. He is the weakest of the masters of hell.
…… What?
-And I am Abyss, the lord of the second hell. He’s on a different level from that stupid guy.
“It’s the 2nd hell, the 1st hell, Nabal, and am I a part-timer? Our daughters. “Did you take him?”
-Puhup. Fuhahahaha.
A devil who laughs unpleasantly.
The guy pointed above him with a creepy long finger.
Then it started to appear in the air…… Our daughters.
-Ugh! Dad, I’m so scared here. I want to go out… !
-Father? Alia! Father has arrived! You can rest assured now!
Quad Deuk
When I saw the children trapped in the prison created by the devil, it became difficult to control my emotions.
-As I said, I had no choice but to see you. I hope you’re not too angry. Say it bluntly. I am a warrior, I need your life.
“Are you saying that now? “Is there any way I could give it to you?”
I answered the devil with an energetic expression, but in truth, no clue to solving this situation occurred to me.
-hehehe. Well? I know how precious these daughters are to you. The reason why he gave up his position as king and lives in this forest even though he has such great power. Because of your daughters. So, if you want to protect your daughters, you had better follow my words.
Instead, I started to sweat and my heart raced, making my thoughts even more intense.
I managed to calm down and spoke in a tone that lashed out at the devil.
“How can I believe you? How do I know whether you will kill all my daughters after I die?”
-You don’t have to worry about that. Once demons make a contract, they can never break it.
The devil was smiling so slyly that you could tell he was excited.
“They just can’t break the contract itself. They will take advantage of the loophole in the contract and kill our daughters.”
-Hmm. Hero. Can’t you understand the situation now? There is only one choice for you. Either make a contract and save your daughters. If you don’t do it, you can lose them.
This son of a b*tch…… !
At that time.
-Dad! We don’t care. So, never sign a contract like that!
-You don’t have to sacrifice for us, Father!
-A world without fathers! I hate Huffness!
The daughters sob and shout with trembling voices.
When I saw my daughters crying and being scared, the images of my colleagues passed by like a flash of light.
Ha, that really won’t work.
“Even if I have to die, my daughters will not.”
I surrounded my entire body with divine power and accelerated.
Quickly swing the holy sword, sending sword energy flying at the devil and leaping towards the prison.
-What!
Kwakwang
Destroyed the prison connected to the devil in the accelerated world..
-No!
After destroying the prison and neutralizing the devil’s influence, he took out his daughters who were trapped inside and distanced himself from the devil.
– Wow! Dad is cool!
-Ah, father! Black.
-Dad…. Huffness was scary…….
Fortunately, our daughters don’t seem to be injured.
Thank goodness.
Everyone is safe.
Now all that remains is to exclude the devil.
But I wasn’t that worried.
Unlike the master of the first hell I fought before, he took me hostage and used a cowardly move.
Obviously, unlike that guy, his power is very weak.
Then there is no need to worry.
-Oh my. Are you saying there is a hero here?
Even though he was hit hard by my sword, he shook it off and got up.
…… Are you okay. I thought it wouldn’t have taken any damage.
Nothing will change anyway.
-But your love is your weakness.
Puuk
Something pierced my stomach.
That’s ridiculous.
“Re… ah…… ?”
“Oh, no. My, why did I… my father…… !”
Leah is stabbing me with a knife in her hand.
Why Leah?
-hahahaha! The look of shock on someone’s face when they fall into a trap is so delicious. Did you think this body could take hostages so easily? It was all a trap for this, but it was so easy to fall into it! Ahahahaha!
Trap… ….
Did you plant something in Leah and manipulate her into stabbing me?
“Holy sword. Purification.”
I purified all my daughters with the power of the holy sword.
-…… This. Does the Holy Sword have that level of ability? I regret this. There is still more fun to be had.
Was this the only reason they went to the trouble of kidnapping their daughters?
Deception and humiliation.
Devil guy.
“Tsk.”
“Ah, Dad!”
“Father!”
Did you have a serious internal injury?
“Holy sword. Cure. …… Huh?”
I tried to heal my body with the holy sword, but it didn’t work at all.
“Why?”
-hahahahaha! Do you think this body was stabbed with an ordinary knife? No. The knife with which you were stabbed is the worst dagger, tempered by the screams of the deepest dead in hell. It is a sword of divine slaying that no divine power can heal!
Sword of Godslaughter?
This is difficult.
There is no cure.
If Erica had been there, she would have been able to heal with a ‘miracle’….
“Kwaaak!”
I stood up, enduring the pain of my internal organs being cut off.
-Hoo. Lifting up with those wounds?
I cannot fall.
I cannot afford to feel the pain of this pain.
If I fall, my daughters will be taken by the devil.
Never…… You can never let that happen.
My daughters.
I protect it.
-But what can you do with a body like that? You look like you have a hard time moving your body.
“Holy sword. ‘Awakening’.”
Quagwa Guang
Power overflowing throughout the body.
An awakening period that temporarily gathers all my power through the holy sword.
When you use this power, you can instantly forget all pain and gain overwhelming power.
However, the moment the awakening is released, it loses all power and falls helplessly.
It is a skill that requires risking one’s life to use unless there is a saint nearby, as all natural healing power and stamina are lost….
If it’s to protect the children!
-It still has this power!
“Huh!”
Paat
-Disappeared!
Kwaang
He appeared in front of the guy and swung a holy sword wrapped around a sword towards him.
-Pfft! How could this happen!
My daughters.
I protect it!
Quagwagwagwagwang
-Hey, this body is like this!
Kuung
After confirming the disappearance of the devil, I felt all the strength in my body drain away.
‘Awakening’ has been resolved.
-Dad! Are you okay? A lot of blood is flowing from the body. Ugh. Dad can’t die.
-No, Dad! Undine! Undine! You can’t die…. What would Huffness do without his father? .
-Ah, father. Because of me…. Because of me….
Leah shed tears and cast all kinds of healing spells on me. But again she had no effect and my vision became increasingly blurry.
Is this the end?
I am not afraid of the end.
Because it is to protect the children.
Even if I go to the afterlife like this, I can be honorable to my colleagues.
But these are the children I will blame myself for leaving. And I’m worried about the children who will be at risk.
Demons will continue to target this dimension, but will the children be okay without me?
“Everyone…. I have something to talk about… ….”
“Yes! Dad!”
“It’s not your fault…” . It’s just the devils’ fault. You guys didn’t do anything wrong…….”
“Ah, father… ….”
“I have one last thing to talk about… …. Actually, I am not your biological father… ….”
“Father! Stop talking! “It won’t stop bleeding!”
“Undine… ! Undine… ! “Why can’t I heal!”
“So don’t be too sad…. Me too… It’s about time…… Ostrich. “You can take good care of your sisters even without your father, right?”
“…… Yes. Father….”
“Alia…. “Don’t get into trouble even if your dad isn’t there.”
“Ugh… …. I will listen carefully, so don’t die, dad….”
“Huffness…. Be friendly with everyone…….”
“Yes… ! Huffness, we’ll be friends! So, Dad too!”
“Everyone…… You should be happy…….”
-No!
-Ugh!
-I hate it!
Darkened vision.
Only the pure cry of a voice rang out.
And the sound gradually fades away.
Can I meet my colleagues now?
Tavares, Elise, Babun, Erica.
All.
If it’s about me….
Did you do well?
Suddenly brightening vision.
Is it the afterlife?
“You’re cute, my baby”
“I guess that’s why he’s so cute because he resembles him.”
…… Huh?
