Hero without Blood or Tear

[18] The One Crouching in the Grave. (1)

Mentioning the heart of an angel caused a commotion. I explained the situation calmly to Angela, who had an exasperated reaction.

“That can be done in two ways. We can either remove them and find new victims, or we can put them inside the owner's body. ”

“The heart of an angel, after all, is not helping. ”

Angela must have been thinking of the Angel's heart as the last resort. It is said that if the High Abbot dies, she will save her life using the Angel's Heart. If we don't solve the curse, it won't matter.

“That's right. It's impossible to use the Angel Heart to calm down the high abbot in the first place. ”

The divine power of the high abbot and the power of the dead incarnate must collide.

“So I'm going to take that thing off and carry it back to my body. ”

“You mean the wise man will be the new victim! ”

“I'm different from the high abbot. We don't have the sacred power, so we can use the Angel Heart to calm our nerves. It seals the darkness in my body. ”

Angela tells me I can't do that.

“How can you make such a sacrifice? Do you know what you're talking about? That means a lifetime of cursing... No, even souls will be cursed for eternity. ”

I wasn't wrong, but I was wrong. A curse is a blessing to someone.

“I'm not saying I want to live cursed. I saw the Temple of Chilma, and I learned about the secrets of darkness. We'll find a way to remove that power and seal it again, I'm sure. ”

“How can you be sure you can lift the curse in the future! ”

“Of course Valpur must help me at the convent. Will that work be all about that one man? If you remember and help me with my sacrifice, you will surely overcome it. ”

“But I can't let you get innocent people involved! Even if the head of the Parliament is at risk. ”

You must be Jane because of Angela's upright personality. So I emphasized the cause.

“Think again. Mother Superior is Taesan Bukdu, who fights the Horses in the Southwest of the Empire. If he falls, the people will fall into battle. ”

In fact, the southwestern part of the empire became a mess at the beginning of the game. After the Iron Premier's defeat, his aunt Friedrich struggles only for self-defense. And since Valfur died as well as the high abbot of the convent, it's obvious that it won't happen again.

Thousands of humans are slaughtered by the Horsemen and sold into slavery. If the Abbot survives, we can stop that future.

“You can't do that! Balor!”

Valpurgis resolutely disagrees.

“Lord Valpurgis. You know this decision isn't just for the High Abbot, right? ”

I was talking about the cause, but in reality I was the most profitable. As well as the power gained by the dead incarnations, Balpur owes the Sisterhood a great debt.

We need their help to stabilize the Southwest of the Empire in the future. Pretending to be a victim and taking on a lot of usefulness, it feels like a bit of a subtle way, but there's nothing you can do about ditching and catching crayfish.

The power of the dead incarnate, and Balpur means the Sisterhood, too. I was not hesitant. This happened somehow, but it was a chance for a genius.

“Thank you for your concern. But think of the people of the Southwest of the Empire. ”

Angela's silent listening next to you brings tears to her eyes.

“Perhaps a noble... wise man is a true saint. Ugh.”

She's not the only one. The other nuns in the room look sad, too.

Ugh.

I feel a guilty conscience when I look at me with pure eyes. I felt like I wanted to avoid being like a vampire exposed to the sun. I don't mean to deprive Valfur of the Sisterhood. I thought we were trying to benefit each other.

They save the high abbot.

I gain the power of darkness and the favor of the Sisters.

Keep the peace in the Southwest of the Empire.

The Demon Lord Pezamut eats a big fuck.

Literally a one-time copy.

This is the best solution without hesitation.

“Balor, please reconsider! ”

It was quite difficult to persuade Valpurgis. She was genuinely worried about you. I smiled as if I were fine.

“If you're cursed, you're mistaken. You can take responsibility for me. ”

“Are you kidding me in this situation! You!”

I tried to calm down a little bit, but I couldn't get through. Turning to me, I was praying like no one knew so we could talk.

“I want to apologize for troubling you. Thank you for thinking of me. ”

“The Mainlander is in charge? Oh, that's great! Now that you've lived with a scumbag like me your whole life! Ugh..."

After a struggle, Valpurgis bites his lips and tries to swallow tears. Oh, my God, who would ever think of me like this?

I hugged her lightly. Even with the hardness of the armor, all I could feel was her warmth in my arms.

“Your face is ugly, but your body is the most imperial." I'm going to be the happiest man in the world on my first night. ”

“Idiot! The sisters are listening! ”

Valpurgis pushes me away in a panic, as if he didn't know what to say. No, I hear everything around me.

“Hmmm!”

The elderly nun clears her throat. She looked embarrassed even though she was a long-trained senior nun. Others were the same. Some were patting their faces with hand debt.

“You really are! ”

Valpurgis only punched me in the chest with a grudge. I smiled at him and clapped my hands.

Pair!

The atmosphere changed.

“Angela, please bring me the heart of an angel. I will save Mother Superior. ”

“... Will you calm down? ”

I nodded my head and finally accepted Angela. This was the only way.

* * *

As soon as the heart of the angel arrived, I decided to begin the ritual right away. As I approached, the details of the high abbot were worse than I expected.

Her chest was pierced with a black hole, and there emerged a grotesquely long, dark figure like a spider's leg. But these are dead and moving bodies, not dangerous enough to keep the rules.

“Everyone be quiet. ”

I told everyone around me once to take a deep breath to calm my mind. And I began to recite the incantation I had seen in the temple of Chilma.

“You who harvest dead stars. ”

“The one who persecutes the restless soul like the one who boils it and never disappears. ”

“King of the graveyard. ”

As the promised spell is recited, the air begins to change. The gloom of the sacred light fades away as the fog grows darker.

The temperature in the room also dropped rapidly and it seemed like winter had suddenly come. It was also cold to the bone.

Whoo-hoo.

In an unimaginable distance, the will of the unbearable transcendent begins to approach. Suddenly I felt suffocated and dizzy. But I survived biting my lip.

And then, 'the one who crouched in the tomb’ spoke through his dead incarnate.

- Who dares summon you?

He only spoke, but he felt the shock of a metal mace hitting his chest.

“Hehe.”

- How did mortal summon this body? The very existence of this body is a secret. This is the second summoning of the mortal in a lifetime.

Something was wrong. I can feel the fury coming from the one crouching in the grave. Is there something wrong with calling it in early play? Maybe he still wanted to hide his identity. However, he may be angry because he suddenly summoned it.

As he planned, since he's appearing in the world later in the game, maybe I've been distracting him. I didn't know the details, but it was different from my previous experience. The ritual didn't seem to end well like it did in the past.

“I'm a ballersted ballerina. I summon you to the power of the dead incarnate. ”

I told him about it, but he laughed bitterly.

- What? How dare you! You want the power of this body? The body that roams the constellations and harvests the death of the stars!

At this rate, I had a hunch that my consciousness would fail. The one crouching in the grave seems to be destroying me right now.

He has only arrived from a very distant place, so he cannot exert his physical strength. However, it was possible to take the Summoner's soul and put it into eternal pain.

- It's not worth talking to. I dare to ask for sin in my mouth a title I know nothing about and cannot pronounce.

The man crouching in the grave reaches out for my soul, like a spider's leg.

“Ugh!”

The watchers scream. I was surprised, too. The fact that the opponent is so ferocious and fierce in nature. But I survived.

Because there is a conflict in this game that precedes his determination.

[Player's soul is protected.]

I am not a real resident of this world, but a player. And players get a few perks that go beyond the rules of the world.

One of them is immune to some kind of insanity spell. It was because the mind of the player playing the game should not be troubled. It is also impossible to interfere with the player's soul (spirit) for the same reason.

What do you mean, you can't draw?

He tried to beat me like a bug, but for the first time he couldn't hide the embarrassing sound. A few times later, a darkness like a spider's leg fell on my head like a guillotine.

Kang!

But every time, a white flame blew away. Then, even this insistent twos surprised me.

- Who the hell are you? It's strange to know the existence of this body.

The man crouching in the grave began to show interest in me.

- Bondi mortals cannot resist the power of this body. This law is as clear and solid as steel, so there is no exception....

I didn't intend to answer his questions. How do I explain it's a player?

“It doesn't matter. Surrender the power of the dead incarnate to me and vanish. I summoned you for it. ”

However, the opposing Pokémon does not like it. I was not cooperative.

First, discuss how you know the existence of this body and why you summoned it! Or I will rip the souls out of everyone in this room! I don't know why I can't touch you, but the others aren't the same!

Darkness, like a spider's leg, spreads from side to side and lands on the nuns' heads. I felt like I was going to cut it down and pull out my soul right now.

- Come on, tell me. Special and stupid.

You feel a chill in your sweat. Though I expected it, this opponent is more difficult than I expected.
