chapter 34
Chapter 034. be patient
The feeling of cutting the high priest’s body was not very good.
It feels like cutting through a hard crustacean.
The blade, which penetrated the left trapezius muscle, came to a stop near the chest.
‘fast.’
Aaron’s eyebrows narrowed.
What he was aiming for was the neck, not the shoulder.
I tried to finish it all at once, but at the last moment he turned his body away.
‘Shouldn’t have enchanted it.’
If the power of the rune had been blown into the sword, it would have been able to split the body.
However, he could not take such a risk in a situation where he did not know when he would get the sword again.
Such a mass-produced sword could not withstand the power of the rune.
“Aagh!”
As the high priest struggled, fetid black blood gushed from the wound.
“High Priest… … Kuck!”
“Ugh!”
At the same time as the high priest’s scream, the other priests collapsed while groaning.
One’s throat was blown off, the other’s heart was pierced.
Raast and Zeke succeeded in the surprise attack.
“Yeah these guys… … !”
The priest whose heart was pierced muttered with a ferocious face.
After all, he wasn’t an ordinary dwarf.
Zeke swung his sword once more and blew the guy’s throat.
“Kureuaak!”
As his subordinates died, the high priest screamed with his half-dismembered body.
This time it was a cry of anger, not pain.
One of the lungs had been severed, and the sound of boiling blood rose from the throat.
He was regenerating his body in that brief moment.
The blood that had been pouring like a waterfall stopped in an instant, and the cut section gradually grew fat.
“Exar! Cut your throat! right now!”
Aaron shouted with strength in his mouth.
The high priest no longer hid his demonic energy. no i couldn’t hide it
Such terrible wounds will never be healed by ordinary power.
Exar raised the ax without hesitation.
Now he knew something was terribly wrong.
Booung-
The sharp blade of the ax split his neck.
The viciously distorted face fell to the auditorium floor.
“How did you know?”
Exar looked down at the severed head with a stiff face.
As soon as he and the other dwarves entered the auditorium, they spread their auras and looked for traces of demons.
However, neither the statue nor the priests guarding him could find anything suspicious.
The statue was still aloof, and the priests were fine as well.
I didn’t understand.
Aaron’s level is far below that.
It was questionable how the boy with no divine powers smelled Magi.
“It stinks. It was the same stench that hybrids exude.”
Aaron answered briefly and shook his sword.
Black blood was splattered on the white floor.
‘It’s not over yet.’
The surprise attack was successful, but his expression was still not good.
If you killed someone over level 40, you should have something to gain, but there was no change in your level or ability.
It meant that the body he had just killed was a shell.
shhh-
A black liquid rose from the bodies of the dead priests.
Much thicker than blood, it moved as if it were alive and began to gather in the middle of the auditorium.
[50]
A red number rose above the mass of liquid that was large enough to swallow a person.
A much higher level than the high priest you just killed.
An intense feeling of déjà vu crossed my brain.
‘Dark slime?’
That is a kind of parasite that the high-ranking black magician, the Ark Warlock, or the Asmodians work for.
If it is engulfed by that, the soul is scattered and disappears, and the body becomes the servant of the minister.
Once they succeeded in being a parasitic, they could live without demons, so they were mainly used as a means of gathering information from demons.
shhh- shhh-
It lingered for a while, but then it stretched its body long and began to make a sharp sound, like a snake threatening.
Dark Slime can only last a few minutes in an environment without Magi.
He was looking for his next victim to protect him.
“Everyone be careful… … !”
Fuhuaak!
Before the warning was even over, the slime erupted into dozens of lumps and scattered in all directions.
The chunks flew like arrows and clung to Aaron, the dwarves standing next to him, and Zeke and Rast in front of the statue.
“Whoops!”
“this!”
The dwarves immediately raised the aura and tried to remove the filthy liquid.
But by then, some of the liquid had already penetrated the skin.
‘It’s late.’
Aaron bit his lip.
Once the slime has penetrated the body, it cannot be pulled out until it pours holy power or destroys the core.
Those with a higher level than the slime could circulate and melt the aura, but his level was 50.
If left as it is, half of the people here will turn into enemies, and even if they endure, they won’t be able to function properly until they receive divine treatment.
“Turn it off!”
“Ah, Agnis!”
“Tongue, brother… … . off… … .”
Soon after, the slime began to move, and the concerned reaction began to emerge.
Exar and Rhaast staggered and groaned, while the other dwarves knelt down or clutched their heads and screamed.
In particular, Zeke, who had the lowest level, rolled his eyes in a matter of seconds and collapsed on the floor convulsing.
The aura that I instinctively drew is holding on to my mind, but it wouldn’t last long if it stayed that way.
[The ancient power (Raghuz) removes impurities from the body.]
A message came to mind as I felt something vibrate in my body.
After a few seconds, the slime that seeped into the skin turned into a gray liquid and was excreted through the pores.
It was expected. The power of the rune did not tolerate the slime’s tricks.
‘Who did you go to?’
Aaron brushed the liquid off his arm and looked around calmly.
At first glance, the slime has no weaknesses, but in fact it has a fist-sized core somewhere in its body.
Even if it encroaches on many living things, the part with the nucleus will parasitize on the strongest individual in the vicinity.
His destination had already been decided.
“Raast!”
Aaron screamed and ran towards Rhaast.
Raast was resisting the slime with his whole body trembling.
The ghastly veins on his neck and face clearly showed his pain.
“Don’t open your mouth!”
Aaron shouted again.
A fist-sized orb-shaped nucleus was crawling around Rhaast’s mouth.
Unlike other parts of the body, the nucleus cannot enter a narrow space like a sweat pore, so it must penetrate through a wider area.
That’s why it was wandering around the mouth.
“eww… … ugh… … .”
Raast let out a painful groan with his chin shaking.
Despite my desperate efforts, my mouth kept opening.
The fragments that entered his body first began to control his body.
“It is done now.”
Aaron arrived soon after and hurriedly reached out his hand.
Booung-
The moment my hand was about to touch the core, I heard a terrifying sound of wind in my ears.
“… … Zeke.”
Zeke, who woke up before he knew it, was standing with a sword in a hesitant posture.
The attack just now was his final struggle not to kill Aaron.
The blade would have landed on the scruff of his neck if he hadn’t had even a hair’s worth left.
“Be patient.”
Aaron kicked him as hard as he tried to raise his sword again.
Fortunately, he was not completely engulfed, and he easily fell out.
“Ugh.”
Rhaast groaned as if begging for help.
For a moment, his mouth was half open.
Between the teeth, the last bastion, the core of the slime desperately pushed its body.
widely-
Just as it was about to disappear into his mouth, Aaron’s grip flew like a bee.
“No.”
The feeling of the core in my hand was cold and soft.
He gave strength to the preta without waiting.
“Raguz.”
[Spirit is reduced by 8%.]
As I chanted the rune with a tight grip, a pale green light flowed out and penetrated the foreign substance in my hand.
pop!
The core of the dark slime burst like a water balloon, putting its dignity to shame.
[Your level has risen. (18→21)]

“Oh… … .”
Aaron opened his mouth slightly at the message that filled his eyes for the first time in a while.
When I saw the new skills added to the list, the corners of my mouth went up.
In the game, he only knew how to use the rune’s natural power, but he had never learned any sub-skills.
Apparently, he learned this special skill thanks to his hidden job as a rune master.
“Wow.”
“Oooh!”
While frantically reading the message, the fallen party began to vomit the remains of slime from their noses and mouths.
“ah. This is not the time to be like this.”
Aaron left the party who was slowly waking up and walked to the statue of Agni.
A huge dwarf with a blazing flame on his back looked down at him with sad blue eyes.
“It’s brutal.”
Aaron reached out his hand toward the leg of the statue.
“A wave of power.”
[Spirit is reduced by 15%.]
Kwak Kwak!
The statue that had been guarding eastern Tmolia for hundreds of years collapsed with a roar.
“Okay. I’m in debt again.”
Exar, who was watching him with his head on his head, let out a drool.
To owe such a young man his life twice. The Dwarf’s face was unreasonable.
“Don’t take this as a debt. It is all thanks to you that I was able to find this.”
Aaron pointed to the fallen idol.
It was half true.
He knew there was a secret beneath the statues in the Eastern Temple, but he had no idea how to get up there.
This is because the Tmoline region episode is so difficult that I have never woken up.
A large black magic stone was embedded under the statue.
I don’t know when it started, but it was sending a large amount of demonic energy somewhere through a pipe connected underground.
“Do you have any idea why the priests did this?”
Aaron looked back at the bodies of the priests.
“It’s embarrassing, but we don’t even know.”
Exar said with a miserable expression.
Dwarves never lied to each other.
So I couldn’t even imagine that the priests would do something like this to the temple.
It was unknown whether they voluntarily offered their souls to the demons or if they were attacked.
But what is certain is that this temple provided the foundation for the revival of the demons.
“No need to be ashamed. It’s enough to correct the wrongs.”
Aaron stood aside in front of the statue.
“The commander-in-chief, please break this yourself.”
“… … Thank you.”
Exar thanked the boy for giving him a chance to restore his honor, even if it was small.
He kept his mouth shut, as if suppressing his anger, and approached the idol.
“Brothers. Let your revenge begin.”
Pudeuk. His thick fingers gripped the handle tightly.
