The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

Maybe it’s because they’re items that can be called sacred.

Dozens of items decorated the warehouse, but magic items were barely visible.

Most of them are rare items.

There were also sparse red epic items.

“Then… right away, no, no.”

I went straight for the red glowing item, but changed my mind.

No matter how good it is, there can be good things.

Wasn’t that the lesson I learned from Lee Soo-yeon just a moment ago?

So, I started looking at all the items in turn from the entrance.

The first was a purple rare item, a blue sword.

＜Ice Serpent’s Tail＞

At a glance, it was a sword that added cold damage to enemies with moderate stats.

Overall, it’s better than the spanner I’m using now.

But just about that.

There didn’t seem to be much merit in choosing this one.

Next… is it a bow?

I read the descriptions of about 10 items and passed them by.

Then, for the first time, I found an item that interested me.

It was an epic grade white glove.

“Swan’s Feather in the Sky”

epic item

defense 20

strength +2

Agility +4

Acquire the attribute [Speed]

leather glove series

“Ho-oh”

Do epic items have attributes attached to them?

There was nothing special about the attached ability, but there was a speed-oriented characteristic attached.

In addition, the increase in agility was enormous.

The agility of the spanner you have now is 5.

It was enough to feel that my body had become lighter.

However, the agility attached to these gloves is a whopping 24.

Wouldn’t this be enough to implement my swordsmanship almost perfectly?

If nothing else, I might choose this one.

With that thought in mind, I put these gloves in my shopping cart and moved on to the next one.

And another item that caught my eye was the red mace, which was also an epic item.

＜Blast Furnace Flame Grinder＞

epic item

Attack Damage 1-30

strength +10

Fire Resistance +30%

Attribute [Flame Warrior] acquisition

– All weapon attack power +50

– Flame Strike +3

– Flame Armor +2

– All Acquired Flame Skills +1

blunt weapon

It had pretty good damage like an epic rank.

Although the damage interval is large, when the effects of the attributes are combined, the average was over three times that of my spanner.

In addition, it had a property that gave two new skills, and the strength +10 was a bonus.

“It’s great.”

I already have a weapon, so it even shakes my decision to choose armor.

So I put it in my shopping cart and continued looking around the warehouse.

And when you’ve almost gone through the warehouse.

A small light green ring caught my eye.

“light green?”

It was the first color I had ever seen.

Are you above the Epic grade in red?

I tilted my head and looked at the item description window.

＜Seal of the Lofty Priest＞

set item

Spirit Power +10

10% Life Steal

Acquire the attribute [Spirit Guide]

– Combat damage against spirit-type monsters +100%

– Spirit detection +1

– 2 sets unlocked

– 3 sets unlocked

ring series

When I said something about light green, it must have been a set item.

But more than that, the equipment options were appropriate.

It’s a device that increases spiritual power.

In addition, if it is a spirit-type monster, it will also include spirits, Hans, etc., so the damage goes up.

There was even a skill called Spirit Detection.

“Can I try this on?”

“Yes, there is no problem with that much.”

After receiving Lee Soo-yeon’s permission, I put the ring on my hand.

Then, as expected, the skill window flashed and informed that he had acquired a new skill.

I posted an explanation of the spirit detection skill.

＜Passive skill. Detects the presence of spirit-type monsters and recognizes the spirits around them. Area of effect: ＞ 20 meters

It was a kind of radar-like skill.

This looks pretty useful.

“hmm···”

So I was troubled.

In the end, I had to choose one of the three items I marked.

And the result of that worry was this.

“I’ll take this ring.”

In fact, the other two gears were better to use right now.

Strength and agility, the most intuitive stats go up as well.

It was because it had characteristics that made it impossible to exert its power in close combat.

But even so, the reason I chose the ring was because of the direction the item had.

As well as the fact that one’s spiritual power increases alone, and even the characteristics that are concentrated in the spirit.

Isn’t it all an effect created to push the exorcist?

There, this was a set item.

I don’t know if I can find it, but if I can find even one more, the synergy effect will be great.

In other words, you invest in the future, not the present.

“As expected… you have eyes to see.”

When I picked out the ring, Lee Soo-yeon said so.

“As expected?”

“yes. Most of the Shingi stored here are left by seniors who have retired from active service. And among them, the person who left the ring was a former police commissioner. I know he was a very powerful exorcist.”

After all, is it like a relic left behind by a famous person?

I looked around the shrine once again.

I had regrets, but I couldn’t help it.

Then, out of curiosity, he opened his mouth again.

“By the way, what is the reason for storing the sacred spirits here? that it is precious Wouldn’t it be better to write?”

“The sacred treasures here are not so high-end items. It’s nice, of course, but it’s only light or obscure things.”

Isn’t it superior?

No, how good the other cops are.

“Still, did that mace look good?”

“Ah, it has the effect of becoming stronger against fire. However, its attack power is weak, so it is not suitable for use as a weapon.”

“You say your attack power is weak?”

“yes. Even though it looks powerful, it won’t be much different from the monkey wrench you have.”

It was a strange sound.

Its attack power is over three times that of the spanner I have, but there is no difference.

As I pondered the question, I immediately recognized the identity of the gap.

properties of the item itself.

Excluding that characteristic, that red mace is just a mace with ambiguous attack power with fire resistance, as Suyeon Lee said.

Then, is that characteristic only visible to me, but not recognized or applied to others?

So I decided to do a test.

I pointed to the white glove I was going to choose.

“Ah, somehow. These gloves are pretty, but they don’t seem to have much effect.”

“you’re right. You are also correct. It is an item that has been evaluated as possessing considerable spiritual power, but having insignificant effect.”

Lee Soo-yeon answered that innocently, and this made it clear.

What was written as an attribute was an effect that only applied to me.

Is this also the power of my ability?

“Oops, it’s late. Then Mr. Kang Jin-woo. Would you be okay with that ring as a reward?”

At Lee Soo-yeon’s words, I nodded, hiding my complicated feelings.

Then another window popped up in front of me.

A quest to complete Lee Soo-yeon’s request.

The quest’s reward was out there.

***

“···That is all.”

training center’s office.

Lee Soo-yeon was posting a daily report to Baek Min-seong today as well.

Among them, Baek Min-seong reacted to Haeju’s arrow, whose use was revealed by Kang Jin-woo.

“Haeju is effective here?”

Even when Kang Jin-woo said that he had lifted the seal of the god, he just nodded and asked with a smile.

He stared intently at the arrow of Haeju that Suyeon Lee had brought for the report.

“yes. It was an item that was judged to be sealed because it had little to no spiritual power. According to Kang Jin-woo, Haeju is possible, but it is a consumable item that disappears after one use.”

“Hmm… is it believable?”

Baek Min-seong said without doubt.

Ordinary exorcists also feel the use to some extent when they use Shingi.

In particular, if you are an excellent exorcist, you can feel it just by touching it.

However, in the end, it was based on intuition, and in most cases, it was necessary to use it to know exactly what effect it had.

“Actually, he knew how to break the seal, so I think he deserves some trust.”

“That’s right. Then take out that dagger.”

At those words, Lee Soo-yeon showed a green dagger.

In the words of Kang Jin-woo, he said that he had to break the sword made of beautiful jewels.

However, it is beyond Lee Soo-yeon’s authority to break the sacred treasure no matter how much it is to release the seal.

Because of that, the scene turned around.

But it wasn’t the people’s character.

“Inspector Lee, break the sword. I give permission.”

At those words, Lee Soo-yeon’s eyebrows went up slightly.

Of course, Baek Min-seong, the director of the training center, has the authority to manage the sacred shoes kept by the training center.

However, if it was damaged, it was also the people’s responsibility to take responsibility for it.

In any case, there is a possibility that Kang Jin-woo is wrong.

Baek Min-seong, whom she usually knew, never gambled like that.

He must have just been a person who was aiming for a promotion after performing his duties smoothly on the upper line.

“···All right.”

But that wasn’t a reason to reject Baek Min-seong’s order, so Lee Soo-yeon moved right away.

She took out another dagger from her bosom, the one she usually uses.

Then, imbuing it with spiritual power, I struck down the green dagger.

Then, with a clear sound, the translucent jewel shattered.

The only thing left in place was the handle of the dagger.

“Is this all?”

Looking at the dagger with only the handle remaining, Baek Min-seong said.

According to Kang Jin-woo, shouldn’t there be a real sword under that jewel?

It was when he thought about it.

Lee Soo-yeon took the green dagger herself.

And let’s inject spirit into it,

“This···!”

A green sword appeared in the sky.

At this level, not only Lee Soo-yeon, who held the dagger, but also Baek Min-seong could know the identity of the sword body.

The sword body itself was created with spiritual power.

so-called sword.

A form much more suitable for dealing with anima than slashing objects with spiritual power.

For this reason, the sacred spirits with sword spirits were treated with great value.

But to think that it was one of the sealed instruments that were rolling around in the training center’s warehouse.

“There wasn’t just one treasure.”

Baek Min-seong’s eyes lit up.

Kang Jin-woo’s words were true.

then···

“Then, I will upload these sacred instruments to the main office.”

Suyeon Lee said.

The first thing to do was to send the sealed or newly discovered artifacts to the main office for reporting.

However, Baek Min-seong had no such intention.

“No, wait.”

He took the arrow of Haeju he was holding to the drawer of his desk.

Lee Soo-yeon looked at him suspiciously.

“Director?”

“It’s only the armor that’s posted to the head office.”

“Why?”

“It’s just a dagger. I’m sure you’ve never dealt with a sacred weapon.”

It was true.

Lee Soo-yeon’s main weapon is a dagger.

However, he could not use a weapon that contained spiritual power so strong that it was called a divine instrument.

It was because there weren’t that many dagger-type weapons in the police force.

“Do you know that you can use it right away when you get a divine energy? No way. You have to find out for yourself what kind of power it contains. So, take this opportunity to learn about it while using the Shinki. Isn’t this a rare opportunity?”

Baek Min-seong’s words were plausible.

However, Lee Soo-yeon already guessed his intentions.

“What are you trying to do with that arrow?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. If you understand, go out.”

Lee Soo-yeon frowned.

Due to her personality, there was no way she would accept this dagger Baek Min-seong gave as a bribe.

If Lee Soo-yeon was the boss, it would be impossible.

However, Lee Soo-yeon was just an instructor at the training center, and Baek Min-seong was the director of the training center.

In the first place, if it is Baek Min-seong’s authority, it is quite possible to delay the report of Shingi by making excuses.

Because of this, Soo-yeon Lee had no choice but to follow his orders.

And in the training center director’s office where she left, Baek Min-seong quietly called somewhere.

***

A luxury hanok house in Seoul.

Inside the vast innermost room, a large man groaned.

“Keugh…”

The man’s name is Choi Deok-cheol.

He was a first-class exorcist police officer with a sense of security rank, which is said to be one of only nine in the entire police organization.

A top-notch exorcist in Korea as well as in the police.

But now, the skin had turned black and foreign, as if ink had been sprinkled on it.

How serious the mutation is, not at the level of a skin disease, but to the point where it almost looks like non-human skin.

it was 6 months ago.

It was an injury obtained while exorcising a monster that haunted Incheon, to be precise, a curse.

Choi Deok-cheol opened his mouth, enduring the pain felt not only on his skin but also deep inside his body.

“Who is coming?”

“It’s Baek Min-seong’s sense of security.”

“Baek Min-seong? For what?”

“That’s fine for me…”

Deokcheol Choi frowned at his subordinate’s clumsy answer.

If it had been half a year ago, he would have gone right away and stabbed him in the back.

“Grunt…!”

Enduring great pain, he just turned around with a cramped groan.

and after a while

“Brother Deokchul! Are you there!”

Baekminseong really came.
