Hermit Wizard

Magical forces fluctuated around the Elders gathered at the mouth of the Han River.

A warped space hidden beneath the surface of the river. It was only a matter of time before Eugene had already found the entrance, and the torturers were creating cracks.

Some of them were Eugene's children, others were transvestites of non-human origin, and some were forced to cross the wall by the hand of the Black Keeper. When they all joined forces, a certain space was soon creased like water.

Grace approaches and says,

“I'm ready. Originally, there was a long passageway to screen out intruders, and we disabled it. ”

Eugene nods.

“All right, call the apprentices. ”

Those who were waiting moved quickly and sorted. All masked and armed with firearms and artifacts. In the middle of the park, this massive crowd moved and stood out, but there were no citizens around to be witnesses.

Apprentices don't cross walls. The Black Keepers are the ones who made the contract of their own power.

The number of dead dragons cannot be called any more at this time. So Eugene cared not to consume apprentices in vain. Every organization needs a lower rank to deal with the most demanding things.

Bringing an apprentice here was not for power. For the sake of fighting, it is not enough to bring all the apprentices. There is no way humans can help in the battle of the transcendents.

Only a few dozen apprentices have been brought here today. Numbers that can be consumed without major disruption. They were playing the role of mine-detecting dogs by analogy. Instead of detecting mines by smell, detector dogs will step on them and get rid of them in a stunning way.

“Enter.”

When Eugene's words fell, the men in black moved into a unified space.

And through the artifacts mounted on their bodies, Eugene was able to remotely see what was going on over there while remaining in Han Kang Park.

“· · · You're so stubborn. ”

A world quarantined beneath the river. It was like another little earth. There is no sun, but there is full of light, there is clean air, and there is a land where crops grow.

The place where the apprentices opened the door and fell was a grassy field. They look out for the surroundings. It looked like a village of architecture not far away.

Eugene sends a message to see the landscape with an artifact.

“A transcendental residence. Approach.”

An apprentice at the forefront told me about the artifact of the mouth.

“Yes. Start moving to the area that looks like that village. ”

The apprentice fell to the ground stiffly, without finishing all his words.

“Hoo?”

Eugene's eyes glow as he observes the sight.

Immediately, other apprentices who were protecting the surroundings fell into the same position. Eugene's visible landscape tilted or flipped sideways. The artifacts attached to their bodies illuminated the fallen comrades around them at an angle contrary to the low altitude.

And a wretched scream was heard in the field.

Like an insect stuck in an invisible pin, apprentices twist their limbs, keeping most of their bodies close to the ground. No one ever got up again. Distressed and stubborn, a bubble-like cerebral fluid flows out of your ears.

Puck! Puck!

The moaning breaks and the chest and stomach explode with the explosion. The viscera was spilled and the bones revealed. The warmth that was once an accessory to the body seemed to be chewed and broken by invisible teeth.

And after a while, all the sculpted bodies disappeared. The corpse is sucked into the ground as if it were absorbed, and the torn clothes and artifacts roll in the grass like the rest of the bark. There was no bloodstain on the blue-weeded ground.

He was watching the sights and the other torturers.

“What is that? Magic?”

“It is the same power as the divine power that supports that space. ”

In addition to building space, the power of God was affecting defenses.

Eugene strokes his jaw.

“The thing is, I don't know what God is. This side of the war was organized before I joined. It's a transcendental group of priests. ”

Divine power is tricky to respond to, but there was no way.

“Apprentices are now offered as sacrifices. There is only one way to defend against the gods. Hey, Grace. You got that, didn't you?”

A woman with black skin nods.

“I didn't think I'd write it here. ”

Remove a small capsule from the bag with spatial compression magic and give it to Eugene.

“Everybody get together. ”

After gathering the torturers, Eugene burst the capsule. Then the pink smoke blooms. The head of the torturer controlled the movement of smoke with his magical power.

The pink fog is increasingly thin over the clothes and skin of the traffickers. The voice echoes in the minds of the afflicted.

Worship! Be guided by the Great Being. By obeying his word, we will escape the pain of being repeated a hundred billion times!

The identity of that smoke was a virus-like creature, and more specifically, a group of priests serving a certain god. It once appeared on the New York Channel, causing homicidal lights to boil in the streets.

Hear, I believe, and I will be blessed. I will delight God with the ecstasy of taking life at the peak!

The priest tried to brainwash them as soon as he came into contact with the creature.

Eugene smiles.

“These guys' patterns have already been studied. ”

Pink smoke is the body of the priests, and the contact with this smoke is not significantly different from the way the priest puts his hand on the head of the congregation. In accordance with the instincts engraved in the genes, the soulless viral priests tried to baptize the organisms in contact.

If they were apprentices, they would not even be able to defend themselves with the contract of power, but the spirit of the transcendents was strong. Only the body is temporarily contaminated by the divine power without being brainwashed.

“Now that we have left such blatant traces of another god, that god cannot accept us as sacrifices. ”

Suffice it to be offensive enough for the god under the water not to take it as an offering.

“· · · But do we have to keep listening to this voice and fight? ”

One of Eugene's children complained, but Eugene shrugged as if he had no choice.

Smoke whispered to them to continue slaughtering. The torturers were gathered here to slaughter, though they did not have to do so, but they could not be happy to hear their voices. Because if you don't resist, it has the effect of blurring reason.

The virus priest from the New York Channel, the god they serve, received the brainwaves of the high creatures as sacrifices. Especially the brain waves that suffer from the fear of death, and the brain waves that produce at the moment of murder.

Eugene, who heard it, recalls the savior of another world that the dragon told us about. I said I'd be a god soon. Haven't you abandoned your nasty hobbies even after you've gained sanctity?

Eugene did not tell the other evildoers that the God and the Black Keeper might have been entangled before. Instead, he made other excuses and instructed the priests to seal the virus.

If the projections were correct, it would have been serious. Is it a mere coincidence that the channels used by those priests were open in New York? in the city where the new body of the Old Testament is being assembled.

Eugene was worried that God would affect the resurrection of the dragon. Recalling what the dragon said in his life, he said that God is not always kind to the Old Testament. So he encouraged the evildoers to retrieve and seal the priests and the infected, and now he has liberated and controlled some of the sealed viruses.

“Well, let's go in. ”

A pale pink mist of pedestrians entered between the cracks in the space.

* * *

A huge space that you can't imagine being hidden beneath the river.

The first thing Eugene's children felt was a very familiar, but even horrible, dark odor. Grace says.

“I'm so confused. This smells like blood, right? ”

Eugene nods.

“Definitely.”

The torturers of other races, not Eugene's children, do not seem to understand what they are saying.

On the other hand, Eugene's children sensed a delicate smell floating in the atmosphere.

It was so intense that I wondered if this was really blood. It was too dark to think it was because of the apprentices who had just been sacrificed. Stacked and condensed for a very long time, it was a body odor that spanned between death and life.

Eugene simultaneously smelled death and life in this air. Numerous deaths that covered the surroundings simultaneously evoked a pool of blood and a dynamic upheaval of heart blood.

“You've killed countless, and you've gained massive health in return. ”

After that, I take a step.

Eugene's children complain.

“Oh, I have to fight, but I'm hungry because I smell this. ”

“I'm hungry, whispering to keep killing in my head. I'm going to overeat today.”

I felt a strange sensation that my steps often collapsed underneath my feet. But the energy that struck me stopped, and I went away again. The power of the god who tried to eat the torturers as an offering goes back, expressing dissatisfaction because of the traces of other gods left in their bodies.

“All right, that's as good as you think. ”

Eugene looks at the village from a distance with a cheerful smile. I feel the transcendents gathering. Strong force was also detected in the foothills.

“Well, I didn't think I'd be in the middle of it. ”

It was quite a distance, but Eugene's gaze sharply observed the village. I don't see a transcendent wandering around outside. It will be hidden between the building and the foothills.

“It would be a good thing to find and kill. Come on, let's go. You can get rid of everything that's alive, just like we talked about. Kill every living thing your soul can contain. ”

I could not imagine where the dragon would be among the creatures here. It was unknown whether it was a creature that existed only in outer space, a creature similar to the creature on Earth, or whether it would change its appearance in disguise.

It was just a desk to kill them all. Then the sleeping soul will wake up and find a new host and flee to another dimension. I tried to make a new body after fleeing in such a safe state.

It was an optimized space to hide something. Eugene thought there was a good chance the host would be hiding here.

I was thinking about it and moving on.

Huduwei!

“Hmm?”

Even though it was a cloudless sky, suddenly the raindrops dropped a little.

“Can this also be implemented? ”

The face of Eugene, who was doubtful, was soon struck with astonishment.

It was a rare dew rain, but it wasn't all I saw. As it started to rain, the smell of blood that irritated my nose became darker. The rain looked almost black, but every drop of rain left a red circular mark like a bloodstain.

“It's not raining. It's blood.”

Eugene tried to move the raindrops by unfolding his ability to restrain the blood. But it didn't work. The power he had was a prototype of the ability given to Valentine, and of course much more powerful than Valentine.

But Eugene had no control over the blood.

“What is this? Are you setting up a dinner for a guest? ”

One of Eugene's children is sluggish.

Hu, hu, hu!

The torturers each made a curtain of power to avoid rain. But the raindrops get bigger and bigger. One of Eugene's children tried to lick his fingers in the blood rain, but Eugene was angry and stopped.

Shoot him!

Over time, rainbows turned into heavy rainfall. It was so strong that it was invisible everywhere. The pedestrian standing right next to him also looked like a faint outline. The surroundings are full of bloody showers and blurry red fog. It was just before my nose was paralyzed because of the humid and bitter smell.

Eugene's face bears a shadow of sadness.

Currrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Despite the storm, thunder roared in the cloudless sky.
