chapter 3
3 – You are now behind
“Eunchan Kang. You know better than anyone that there’s nothing good about messing around here, right?”
Goddess Abelida looked at me coldly and spoke. She raised her mighty divine power from her own hand and pointed it at me and spoke.
“I will not tolerate any further rebellion. I’m notifying you, not asking. Since you sealed the demon lord, I will forgive the sin of embezzling an enormous amount of holy water by expulsion from this goddess kingdom.”
I looked at Abelida and talked. Blood was dripping from her bitten mouth.
“Goddess Abelida. I gave my all for this Goddess Kingdom. For the precious party members next to me, and the people of the Goddess Kingdom, for each one of them, I reluctantly sealed the Demon King. Do you think this treatment is justified for me?”
-Bang-!
In an instant, the divine power that Abelida fired hit me.
-Push eee yourself
Smoke rose from the ground as if it had been charred by flames. I looked at her without a blink of an eye.
“Goddess Abelida. Didn’t she only see me as a very nice person to Goddess? If you framed me as a mean piece of trash that embezzled holy water for the slums, would you think I would just back off like an idiot?”
-visor
I pulled up the sword that was tied around my waist.
“If I leave the Goddess Bureau in an ideal state, everyone I have saved so far will only look at me as trash. The holy water that should be given to the poor and sick will be remembered as garbage taken for pleasure. I can’t tolerate it. Why are you trying to take away everything I’ve built? people’s recognition. The small gratitude they give was the driving force in my life. It was my only hope of living in this damned world.”
Even now, the pain in my body continued to rise, but I didn’t care. Because the pain that seemed to break my heart hurt more.
I spoke with tears in my eyes.
“If I have any sins, I have only worked for you and believed.”
At that time, Jin Soo-yeon, the representative of the goddess, shouted.
“Treason! Protect the Goddess!”
-Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck
In an instant, hundreds of hunters surrounded me all at once. I laughed out loud and shouted.
“Do you think you will be able to deal with me with this number of people? What the hell do you see me for?”
“Don’t be pretentious. The hunters here are made up of S-class and A-class elite soldiers. If I use my divine power together, you won’t be a match.”
I leaned over her and whispered to her.
“Do you really think so? Do you think they can protect you?”
Abel Lida waved her hand, and dozens of wizards appeared beside her.
-Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing
All at once, they prepared their magic and finished their preparations to intercept me.
“Goddess Abelida. It will be faster for you to drop your neck than for the hunters and wizards to kill me.”
“That sounds funny. Kang Eun-chan. Do it if you can.”
‘f*ck you….’
-pot
The moment I tried to run her towards her. A figure stood in my way.
“Hanminseo?…”
‘No!’
Because I was accelerating, it was clear that if I went on like this, I would cut Han Min-seo’s body in two.
‘My party members may have misunderstood. Maybe it’s just being deceived by the goddess. I don’t have to kill the party members I was with.’
My party members are just being deceived by Abelida. Thinking like that like an asshole, I turned the direction of my sword like crazy.
“aaah!”
-Huwoong
Fortunately, I avoided my sword, Hanminseo, who was rushing quickly. However.
-Push
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Min-seo stabbed the sword in the abdomen against me, whose posture was disturbed.
–
‘Huh?…’
In an instant, faint blood began to flow from the abdomen.
“Han Min-seo… Why me?…”
She looked at me like a bug and talked.
“The embezzlement of holy water isn’t enough, so you’re even rebelling against the goddess. Your sins cannot be forgiven.”
She was stabbed with a knife in her abdomen, but it was of course impossible to inflict a fatal wound on me given her attack power.
I trudged her to her and talked to her.
“No… I think it’s a misunderstanding?… I really should be wrong… I’m sorry…”
-Wheee again!
– Abnormal status: Cursed. Temporarily slows movement.
[The attribute effect is activated, and the status abnormality is removed.]
‘What the f*ck…!’
When I looked at the place where the spell was used, Dahee Choi was standing there.
“Hero. Stop surrendering now… How dare you rebel against the Goddess. I hope that you will receive the punishment that is worthy of your punishment…”
“Dahee Choi. isn’t it? That motherf*cker framed me…”
-Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A chain made of mana flew towards my head.
-Chaeng
After receiving it, I saw Ye Seul Lee standing on the other side.
“Kang Eun-chan. i trusted you But look at you now. You are a perpetual criminal.”
My party members, who believed in me and followed me, threw me away and looked at me like trash.
It was embarrassing. It felt like all the blood in my body was flowing backwards. I felt desperately wanting to cut off that damn goddess’s hair at any moment.
Hundreds of hunters here? Dozens of wizards? That’s about it, it’s nothing. You can kill them all and even kill the goddess.
But.
Hanminseo. Dahee Choi. Huh Na-yoon. Ye Seul Lee.
I couldn’t kill them at the forefront, blocking my way. Knowing that they didn’t trust me and knowing that they attacked me, I put my hope on them one last time.
“I’m sorry. I attacked the goddess because I was too excited. I’m sorry it’s like that I have committed no sin. Please believe me.”
But they just looked at me without a word. like it’s dirty.
-tick
In an instant, the string of reason in my head was loosened.
“Yes. Okay. That there is no one on my side here.”
“I have lived for you for such a long time, but in the end, no one believes in me.”
“If everyone wants me to leave, I will. The Demon King and whatever, let them all take care of themselves. I will disappear from here.”
-swish
——
When I turned around and tried to leave, Jin Soo-yeon shouted.
“Where are you trying to escape after you dare to rebel against the Goddess? Your sins must be forgiven by death! Don’t run away, criminal.”
I looked at her and raised her mana all over her body.
-Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing
In an instant, all the mana around me was sucked into me.
–
As I continued to raise my mana, my body, which was originally in poor condition, began to deteriorate more rapidly.
After a while, blood began to flow from my eyes. But it didn’t stop.
-Kwagwagwawakwanggwang-!
-Bang-!
The temple shook, and soon some of the buildings began to collapse. In an instant, the hunters and wizards who were protecting the goddess gathered all at once and prepared a counterattack.
Either way or not, I talked while looking at Jinsuyeon in that state.
“When I say I’m going out on my own, just send it to me nicely. If you stop me one more time, I’ll kill all my old comrades and everything.”
Jin Soo-yeon looked at the goddess, trembling to live with a lot of mana.
Abelida shouted at everyone.
“Send Eun-chan Kang. With my broad generosity, I will forgive the tyranny of the traitor once and for all. But in return you are permanently banished from here. If we set foot on the land of our Goddess Kingdom again, we would have to deal with the whole nation.”
I turned to Abel Lida and spoke with her head down.
“From now on, you will never see me again in my lifetime. Even if you cry out for me desperately, I won’t be here. All of this is what you did.”
And I looked at my former colleagues Han Min-sun, Choi Da-hee, Heo Na-yun, and Lee Ye-seul and talked.
“All these are the paths you have chosen, so no matter what, persevere.”
– profit
-Bang-!
I closed the door of the temple and went out.
Where Eun-chan Kang left, only silence lingered.
When the Goddess commanded, all the personnel guarding the place were scattered.
After everyone left, Jinsuyeon quietly whispered to Goddess Abelida.
“Goddess. Can I send it like this? Shall we send a pursuer?”
Goddess Abelida listened to Jinsooyeon’s words and thought to herself.
‘He will take it anyway. So he won’t actually die. But there is no need to tell Jinsuyeon even these things. Now, naturally, we should not let the pursuers go. It would be a disappointment if I even die while fighting the pursuer by any chance.’
Abelida answered naturally.
“Don’t do useless things. The warrior will die because of the curse anyway. There is no need to sting a beehive that is roaring in the fire.”
Joo-yeon said with worried eyes.
“However, looking at the power he has now shown, it seems that the effect of the curse is not as great as I thought.”
“No. I see it in my eyes. He was cursed by the Demon King in return for the sealing magic he used. The devil’s curse is a curse that will never be lifted until the target dies. After all, the hero will suffer in endless pain and die while tasting the pain that gradually rots throughout his body. It would be better for us to find a new hero and reinforce our strength than to keep holding on to a hero who never knows when to die. Best of all, this way, you won’t have to use huge amounts of holy water in the future. We just need to prepare thoroughly until he dies.”
“Okay. I’m sorry I dared to doubt you.”
“More than that, have you checked that our new hero is coming?”
“Yes, as a result of contacting them, they say that they have almost arrived at our Goddess Bureau.”
“Good. Did you recover the sealed demon king’s crystal ball from the hero?”
“Yes. Recovered.”
“Well done. When the crystal ball is broken, the Demon King will respawn at the original location. We can get a rough idea of how much time is left through the crystal ball. Please check frequently to see if there are any abnormalities.”
“I see. Goddess. By the way, mana cannot be injected into the sealed Demon King’s Crystal Orb except for Kang Eun-chan, so can I ask how to keep the seal?”
“It doesn’t matter. If you don’t infuse mana, the crystal ball absorbs the life force of the person casting the seal instead. We can buy time until Kang Eun-chan sucks all his life and dies. That’s enough. No, maybe he’s more likely not to die. Please do not ask me about this in detail.”
“I see.”
“Perfect. No problem at all now. Good work. Let me give you a separate blessing later.”
“Thank you.”
***
After leaving the temple. Where Kang Eun-chan is.
-Poo-wook
I focused my mana on my sword and pierced my stomach.
-Cool
Blood begins to flow all over the body, and the vision gradually becomes blurred.
– You are dead.
– First clear reward: [Unique Privilege: Resurrection] is used.
– When you die, it recovers all damage and revives only once.
– Cooler Aok-!
“Keep up….”
With an extremely unpleasant sensation, I died and came back to life.
“f*ck… it’s an experience I don’t want to do again”
Aside from that, laughter erupted out of nowhere.
In return for playing this game for the first time, there was one more privilege I received while possessed.
[Resurrection]
Literally, it is a privilege to resurrect you once when you die.
Resurrection using privileges. Then a pleasant notification popped up.
– A player has died. [Demon King’s Wrath] The curse is removed.
– The sacrifice (player) connected to the Demon King’s Crystal Orb has died.
– The Demon King’s crystal ball seal is rapidly weakening.
– The demon king’s crystal ball seal will be released after approximately 312 hours. To maintain the seal, inject mana into the crystal ball.
“Why the f*ck am I?”
I smiled at the popping up notification window.
“A handsome goddess and bastards. don’t watch watching you fall Realize deeply that the peace you enjoyed was all thanks to me.”
