The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

chapter 29



A red beam emitted from the mother body of the egg ghost.

Kang Jin-woo struck it off with his sword.

Jung Eun-mi couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with her own eyes.

Of course, it was impossible to cut light with a sword.

However, Kang Jin-woo was realizing the impossible right in front of his eyes.

The brilliant light that his sword continued to cut through and cut through the bright red beam.

Is that… his ability?

I couldn’t tell.

Kang Jin-woo’s ability that Jung Eun-mi knows is only the sense of spiritual power.

Meanwhile, Kang Jin-woo, who had just approached the body of the egg ghost, fired a sword at the big eyes.

However, in Jung Eun-mi’s view, it was reckless.

The body of the egg ghost is a monster with a diameter of up to 5 meters.

The 1 meter long sword held by Kang Jin-woo in front of him was no different from a toothpick.

however,

“Guardian Strike!”

He shouted something out of nowhere, and a flash of light shone.

“Kiaaa!”

Then the egg ghost, which had cut off half of its large eyes, screamed.

Jung Eun-mi’s eyes, which were staring blankly at her, filled with astonishment.

A cut deeper than the blade.

How is such a thing possible?

At this rate, he would be able to defeat the mother body of the egg ghost by himself.

but nonetheless,

“hey! What are you doing!”

Kang Jin-woo shouted while looking at Jung Eun-mi.

It was as if he was asking why he was playing.

I think I’ll win if I leave it alone, but I’m going to have a good time.

She, who was distracted by Kang Jin-woo’s flamboyant movements, spat out her dissatisfaction inwardly.

“sorry.”

After a light apology, she put an arrow on the string.

The target is large.

There was nothing wrong with her skills.

One foot, two feet, three feet.

The arrow cut through the wind and flew away.

The egg ghost’s body was hit by a bow, but he didn’t care.

Perhaps because of the hard shell, only the arrowhead was barely stuck.

There seemed to be little damage.

But that was enough.

Her parasites were already burrowing inside the egg ghost.

and after some time

“Gaaa-”

The mother body of the egg ghost let out a scream full of pain.

It was because the parasites multiplied in an instant and ate the body.

Belatedly, he recognized Jung Eun-mi, but it was too late.

Sword strikes ran nonstop over the staggering giant egg.

Soon, the mother body, tattered like a broken eggshell, collapsed to the floor.

coo goo goo-

With the disappearance of the egg ghost, the space began to shake once again.

***

“Ugh…”

It was already after the sun had set when Jeong Eun-mi and I finally returned to the lighthouse.

When I got back, we were still on the top floor of the lighthouse.

The inverted cross in front of me was broken in half before I knew it.

I wondered if it was handled properly, so I checked the quest window.

<C: Complete the Field Trip!>

– Quest progress goal (2/3) achieved!

Fortunately, the number had changed to 2.

“It’s just over.”

“great job.”

Jung Eun-mi said with a smile.

But I made an impression.

“What did you do earlier? Did you wait for me to die?”

“no way.”

“I’m afraid I’ll freeze to death.”

“You don’t believe me?”

“Would you believe the words of a serial killer?”

I shot at her like that, but for some reason, Jung Eun-mi’s smile didn’t disappear.

is this crazy

Hey, I’m not the original crazy year.

Giving up on further conversation, I let out a deep sigh and went down the lighthouse.

It’s an egg ghost and what.

It was time to go back.

next day.

“I just heard the story. You said you went to the station?”

When I visited Lee Soo-yeon for a report, I heard that right away.

“How did you know?”

“A report has already come from Jung Eun-mi. Also, the information from the exorcist who was protecting Mr. Kang Jin-woo matched that.”

Even so, Jung Eun-mi is an exorcist.

Were you watching too?

However, it was a bit disappointing that he did not help at all even though he was watching.

I know the reason, but I have to pay respect.

“No, the exorcist who said he was protecting me didn’t even think about saving me?”

“They decided there was no need to save them. Were you in any danger…?”

“Of course it was dangerous. What did I see-”

I told the story of the egg ghost’s nest.

However, Lee Soo-yeon’s expression was calmer than expected.

The egg ghost’s mother’s level is 27.

In terms of spirits, even among the imperial spirits, she was not surprised that they belonged to the powerful realm.

“It’s level 27… that’s the equivalent of an emperor, right? It must not have been that difficult.”

“27?”

I’m only level 15 now.

I caught almost twice my level, but it wasn’t a difficult enemy.

“Didn’t you say that blood flow was over 30 last time? Compared to him, he is a weak enemy.”

“That was… it was. At that time, Monica did everything.”

“Monica said that Mr. Kang Jin-woo was very active.”

“That was polite. You wouldn’t know if you saw him wielding a spear these days? The day has come to a close.”

“I heard that Kang Jin-woo is teaching the spearmanship.”

Oh. It was.

“Besides, you made good use of Jung Eun-mi this time too.”

“That’s… that friend’s ability is a fraud.”

Seriously, Jung Eun-mi’s ability in the battle against the mother body of the egg ghost was amazing.

If you throw a few arrows and wait, the enemy will die on its own.

If there was someone who could pull the time, it would be an extremely powerful ability.

“Also, according to Eunmi Jeong’s report, I heard that she knocked out the mother’s light source with a sword.”

That was just luck.

Of course, the original sword could not cut or slash the light.

However, the newly acquired skill that day, ‘Sword of Light’, is a skill that makes it possible.

While giving the light attribute to the sword, it is possible to interfere with light at the same time.

“The weapon the commissioner gave me was really good.”

“As for the members of Class A, the verification process for abilities is not that strict. So you don’t have to be so humble.”

“No, not humility…”

Despite my words, Suyeon Lee drew a strange smile as if she knew everything.

“Anyway, thank you for your hard work. Now you just need to take a break for about two weeks.”

It was a nice comment, but I tilted my head.

I don’t know if it’s a day or two. 2 weeks.

Are you telling me to stay still until graduation from the training institute is just around the corner?

“Is that so? What about the third case?”

“They said Mine’s involvement in this case was suspected. So I guess I should give it some time.”

Well, that was it.

The fact that I flew to the egg ghost’s nest out of nowhere was highly likely to be a devil’s trap.

Are you saying you won’t put me right away to avoid suspicion?

It was not a bad development for me.

“All right. Then I will rest.”

The conversation with Lee Soo-yeon ended there.

What are you going to do for two weeks now?

With such a pleasant plan in mind, I returned to the dormitory.

but.

It happened before the plan could even be carried out.

***

Seoul, Banpo Bridge in the late evening.

There were two people on a bridge overlooking the Han River with a beautiful night view.

Among them, the eyebrows of a middle-aged man, a false prophet, who was looking at the still-flowing river suddenly twitched.

“Did you escape?”

The man, expressionless, recognized that his trap had been destroyed.

But there was a faint sense of disappointment in that cognition.

“It wouldn’t have been such an easy magic role.”

he said with a sigh.

Work started 3 days ago.

That day, suddenly one of the symbols he placed across the country.

Among them, the one that was carefully hidden was destroyed.

It was strange.

Of course, it wasn’t just thrown away, but the thing I put the most sincerity into was found first.

So, he first researched the information.

It would have been embarrassing if Choi Deok-chul, the disgusting police officer, had smelled it.

However, it turned out that it was a trainee who did not even become an official exorcist.

Feeling even more suspicious, he placed a trap on the remaining symbols.

It was a tricky difficulty trap.

It was not a trap that a trainee could never escape.

A trap that can be easily escaped if someone helps.

It was all to find out Choi Deok-cheol’s involvement.

However, that choice is now approaching defeat.

The trainee dared to break through the trap he prepared with his own power.

“·······”

Eventually he frowned.

It was difficult.

At this point, it was not possible to know at all whether Choi Deok-chul was involved in the matter or not.

Moreover, two symbols were destroyed in just three days.

The most hard-hidden symbol was simply found and destroyed.

He seemed to be saying that the rest would come soon.

For him, measures had to be taken immediately.

“…that’s annoying.”

To think that he had to spend all this time just because of a trainee.

It was an obvious waste.

He must have a more important and lofty mission.

Anger arose within him.

And at the same time, attention was focused on the trainee who didn’t even know the face that annoyed him.

What kind of guy is he to bother himself so much?

Do I have to judge the lamb myself without even knowing the subject?

“Hmm… Judgment.”

Looking at the Han River, he was lost in thought.

It was because the impulse that had crossed my mind seemed quite plausible.

Maybe this was an opportunity.

Lately, I didn’t like the movement of the tribe of Isachar, to which he belonged, at all.

No, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was wrong.

they were so carefree

Those who had to hasten the time of salvation were rather intoxicated by this world.

When I first left the church, I believed that we were brothers and sisters who had the same will.

How can those who know the things of heaven be obsessed with things of the earth?

It was something befitting a prodigal son.

So here someone had to light a fire to awaken them.

And now the false prophet decided to take up the cross himself.

“Not bad. Isn’t it?”

So the false prophet looked to his side.

Another man next to him.

However, he was bound with a black thorn tree to an upside down inverted cross, and was unable to speak.

Also, the inverted cross was stuck in the air without any support.

A scene clearly out of reality, where trees surround humans and float on them.

However, the cars swishing right next to me didn’t react at all.

As if you can’t see anything.

“Blessed are those who suffer.”

The trainee who destroyed his symbol and the training center to which the trainee belonged had already been identified.

So if you hit the training center yourself.

The blindfolded police will join hands with the church and begin to scramble to find the hidden heresy.

If so, his brothers and sisters, who are now peaceful, will finally recall their original convictions.

also.

Choi Deok-cheol, who may or may not be involved in this matter, could never have expected that he would act this far.

So he finally made up his mind.

“I need to finish this quickly.”

At those words, the man wrapped in a tree desperately shook his head with fear-filled eyes.

He realized what the false prophet was trying to do.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. Isn’t that what you were trying to do on your own anyway?”

Tears flowed from the man’s eyes.

He actually came here to die today.

Although he lived for over 30 years, he was alone.

All that is left is an unbearable amount of debt.

so i wanted to die

But that thought changed after meeting the false prophet.

He shouldn’t have come here today.

Black thorns wrapped around him dug into his body.

And the inverted cross fell toward the Han River as it was.

“Then…see you across the Jordan River.”

***

The day after I returned after holding the egg ghost.

The strange thing happened suddenly.

“huh?”

I was lying on my bed, fiddling with my tablet, when suddenly a wall appeared outside the dorm window.

It is also a medieval or ancient castle wall made of brown square stones.

“… what else is this?”

It was the moment I muttered those words.

Kwagwagwang!

Suddenly, a loud noise rang out from somewhere.

The noise of something heavy hitting something else.

And after that, screams followed.

“·······”

Something happened.

It was a fact that could be known even without the experience of a warrior.

I came out with a star cloud sword and a sacred weapon.

Then, Lee Hyun-seok, whose room was close to mine, caught my eye first.

“What is this?”

Lee Hyun-seok asked with a surprised face.

But I had no answer to give back.

“Let’s go downstairs first.”

So that’s what I suggested.

The training center’s dormitory was a five-story building, with the first to third floors serving as convenience facilities, the fourth floor as a female dormitory, and the fifth floor as a male dormitory.

That’s why I decided to join Monica and Dayoung Kim first.

“All right.”

Immediately we went down to the 4th floor.

It was just as messy there.

And soon I found the two of them.

“Here!”

“·······”

Dayoung Kim found me and approached me with a happy face.

Behind him was Monica.

However, her expression was not very bright.

“outside! Did you see it outside?”

“yes. It’s weird for us too-“

While Kim Da-young and Lee Hyun-seok are talking about that.

I approached Monica.

That expression on her face was a sign that she knew something.

“hey. Do you know what this is?”

At my whisper, she nodded slightly.

So I dragged her down the emergency stairs.

All the members of Class A are in this dormitory right now.

As such, few people went up and down the emergency stairs in this chaos.

I asked Monica from the corner of the fire escape.

“So what is this?”

“It’s heresy.”

“what?”

“Heresy. enemy of the church. The inverted cross you were looking for, the guys who made it.”

The answer gave me a headache.

The (2/3) mark in the quest window.

Apparently, the last one left is… that Mine himself.
