chapter 16
Episode 16: Amen.
Damn it! sh*t!
I was running with my feet down an alley where the dark night took root.
..I will correct it.
I was holding the princess in Xiao’s hands as if I was holding her, and I was running away at a speed that I couldn’t even do with my own feet.
Something was a little strange about the drawing, but now wasn’t the time to pay attention to that.
I lifted my head slightly and looked at something that was following us.
If the sea that causes the waves had a will, wouldn’t it be like that?
The black waves wriggling and crawling toward us were like a disgusting sea made up of thousands of caterpillars.
“I will increase the speed, lord!!”
Xiao hugged me and shouted loudly.
The terrifying noise that the wriggling waves made as they advanced was drowning out Xiao’s loud voice.
“What the hell is that!!!”
Crow, who was running at about the same speed as Xiao, glanced back and screamed like a student who found a cockroach.
That black wave, which gradually swelled up the body, was advancing, swallowing everything it touched.
A solid outer wall of a building.
The stone walls forming the alley.
A mouse wandering around looking for food.
It moved forward, devouring everything it touched.
“How can you not do that?!”
“Wait! I’m thinking about it!”
I shouted in response to Crow’s shout and desperately shook my head.
That which ate even the street lamp, the hope that creates a single ray of light illuminating the alley, rushed toward us without a moment’s delay.
People later called it this, as it devours all living things and non-living things.
Something that eats up everything and covets it.
「Greed」
Befitting its name, greed gradually grew its body by eating everything around it.
Let’s think. Thought.
Greed hasn’t grown that way yet.
The only time to safely block it is now.
Let’s go according to plan.
I bit my teeth and put my hand in my bosom.
I touched five round bottles with my fingertips.
The bottle containing the cold liquid was slightly warmed, perhaps because it had been in my arms for a long time.
I grabbed three bottles and pulled them out of my pocket.
“Crow! Grab this!”
I threw 3 bottles at Crow one after the other while being hugged by Xiao.
“What is this?!”
“No time to explain!”
I glanced back.
“Why so damn fast!”
“What can I do with this!”
I took one of the remaining bottles from my bosom and held it in my hand.
“If it touches this liquid, it won’t get close to it!”
“I’ll give you some earlier!”
Crow squeezed a bottle in his hand and tried to throw it at it.
“Don’t throw it!!!”
Crow paused at my shouting.
“Kyaaah!”
Crow hesitated for a moment, then screamed as the black wave rapidly approached, then turned around and started running at full speed.
Fortunately, I was able to stop the throwing by shouting in time.
“We’ve got to stop it from multiplying! Get the crows to fly around and spray it!”
Crow did not respond to my words, and immediately made a staff out of black smoke instead.
“Fulfill the contract!”
The crows immediately responded to Crow’s words.
“Kahah!!!”
The crows, made from being united in the dark, looked back and began flapping their wings with all their might.
“Take this!”
Crow threw all three bottles into the air.
“aaa!!”
The crows appeared and cawed at Crow’s sudden action and snatched the bottle.
..It seems to be a cry filled with resentment somewhere.
“Please!!”
“aaa!!”
The crows soared high into the sky holding the bottle firmly in their claws.
Other places are now resolved.
All that remains is…
“What will you do after me, lord?!”
Xiao shouted while holding me in his arms.
I looked up again and looked over Xiao’s shoulder.
“uuu!!!”
A portion of what was assumed to be a face protruding from the foremost part of the black wave was screaming in disbelief.
“I have to get rid of that head! The part with that head has a will, so spraying won’t stop it!!”
I shouted at Xiao and opened the cap of the bottle.
A colorless, odorless liquid appeared as it slithered.
“Close your eyes, shut your mouth, Xiao!”
“I’ll serve you!”
At my words, Xiao closed her eyes without hesitation and started running.
“Suck!”
I lifted the bottle and sprayed it into the black air in front of me.
The water was thrown into the air and took on a round shape.
Me and Xiao broke through the water like marathoners crossing the finish line.
“Puha!!”
Xiao, who had closed her eyes, sighed and opened her eyes.
“Puha!!!”
I shook my head to shake off the liquid that fell directly on my face.
The liquid from the bottle soaked me, Xiao, and Xiao’s spear.
“Xiao! What you have to do…!”
I tried to open my mouth to explain the operation, but Xiao had already thrown me at Crow.
“I know! Didn’t you explain at the inn!”
…Wow.
Is this how it feels to fly?
The feeling of floating against gravity wasn’t too bad.
..But now it’s gotten worse.
My body could no longer resist gravity and began to fall.
“aaa!! Billion!”
“Got it! Got it! Boss!”
Fortunately, Crow got me right.
“My lord please, Mr. Crow!!”
“Okay!!”
Crow stopped abruptly and raised his staff high.
“Fulfill the contract!”
Darkness began to gather at Crow’s cry.
But this time, a greater darkness was united.
The coalescing darkness soon became a crow the size of which two people could lightly lift.
“Take me to the rooftop over there!”
Crow commanded a crow that was several times bigger than himself as if it were very natural.
“aaa!!”
As if it were only natural for a huge crow to grab both of Crow’s shoulders with its paws, it flew up.
“Oops?!”
Crow didn’t scream, as if he was prepared, and quietly placed himself at the crow’s feet.
I was taken aback when the ground that had been supporting me disappeared and only gravity remained, weighing me down, but Crow held me tight and said.
“Stay still. You really act like a baby. Can you give me a wu-jju-jju?”
For some reason, I calmed down at Crow’s words and calmly relaxed and looked down.
The increasingly smaller landscapes seemed to be zooming out with the camera lens.
And among those scenes, there was one that stood out.
Colorful paints sprinkled on a black and white photo.
Butterflies of all colors were flying around Greed, flapping their wings furiously.
Above it, an unusually more conspicuous figure was flying around, brandishing something.
Across the butterflies that were scattered in all directions, Xiao ran and waved his spear.
Anyway, if you approach it, its head hides inside and emerges from somewhere else, so it must be difficult to deal with.
Like a giant pole that stirs the black sea, Greed hides its head whenever Shao swings his spear.
Every time you swing the spear, the body of greed is cut off.
Every time he swung his spear, greed pushed his body back.
The effect of the liquid sprayed on Xiao’s body was very clear.
Greed, which kept withdrawing, seemed to think it couldn’t do it anymore, so she wriggled her body more violently and prepared something.
Something wriggled and rose from the body of greed.
Several sharpened concrete pillars.
A steel bar that is sharp enough to pierce through anything.
Thus, several dangers broke through Greed’s skin and aimed at Xiao.
That’s one of the scariest things about greed.
If you eat it once.
If you go inside that huge stomach.
Whatever it is, it changes according to the will of greed.
Used according to the will of greed.
No matter what it is, change and use it according to your own greed.
A really good name.
Because of the greed of greed, the degenerated objects suddenly rose up and flew to Xiao.
Sharp objects flew from all sides, aiming at Xiao, but strangely he wasn’t worried.
Now that I am free from being chased, I can afford it.
Now that I can afford it, my head starts thinking normally.
An attack coming from all directions simultaneously.
Attack like this would be fatal and tricky for anyone.
But Xiao was an exception.
Xiao found all sorts of sharp objects flying at him.
The flight of the beautiful butterfly has begun.
Xiao’s figure suddenly disappeared from sight.
I quickly turned my head and saw Xiao appearing from another seat wielding a spear.
Greed attacked again, but Xiao disappeared and appeared where the other butterflies were.
Is the butterfly Xiao?
Is Xiao a butterfly?
..Porpoise Dream.
As expected, it is a useful skill like a joker card in many ways.
Xiao flew around Greed, changing his position with the butterflies that kept appearing.
It looked like a butterfly dancing around a flower.
The beautiful dance of butterflies continues.
Finally, when greed is fascinated by the butterfly’s quick and light flapping of its wings, it loses its senses.
Xiao seized the gap and straightened his stance.
Dozens of butterflies suddenly flew in all at once and connected the path to Greed’s head.
To blame.
Xiao leaped.
The wings of a beautiful butterfly began to reach the ugly flower.
It was an instant.
Xiao used the Butterfly Dream dozens of times in a short period of time.
The appearance of Xiao disappearing and reappearing dozens of times was like a butterfly hiding in nature.
Hwaganjeopmu (花間蝶舞).
A butterfly dancing among the flowers.
Looking at it from a distance, that technique was really like a butterfly dancing with its wings.
So narrowing the distance from Greed’s head, Xiao raised the spear without hesitation.
Squeak!
I hit it as it was and cut off the greedy head in one go.
“Ooooo!!!!”
Her head was cut off, and the greed let out an irrational scream.
Greed’s whole body began to squirm violently, and Xiao, who noticed something strange about her, used the Butterfly Dream.
But Xiao completely disappeared from my sight.
“..Where..?!”
I turned my head and looked around, but Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
“I am here, lord.”
“Whoops!”
Xiao suddenly appeared from behind, and I was frightened and backed away.
“I put a butterfly on my back when I threw it earlier. I guess you didn’t notice.”
“..When did you put it on..”
I let out a sigh of relief and raised my hand to massage the back of my neck.
As expected, the boss of the villains is not for everyone.
…But Xiao, why are you doing that again?
As soon as Xiao saw me raise my hand, he lowered his body slightly.
..Pavlov’s dog?
I looked at Xiao, who was looking at me with her posture slightly lowered, for a moment, then raised my hand on Xiao’s head.
“..Good job.”
“..Nothing to say.”
As I was stroking Xiao’s hair like that, Crow called me.
“Boss. Praise is good, but I think we should look at that first.”
I cautiously approached the roof railing at Crow’s words.
“.. Ha.”
I expected it, but the situation turned out to be more serious than I thought.
Wriggling wriggling.
Despite losing his head, the greed that was still wriggling like a madman was eating away at the buildings slowly, very slowly, though not as fast as when he had the head.
“..If I leave it like that, a real Busan will fly away.. Boss, is there any more like the strange water I sprayed earlier?”
“…..”
I tried to put my hand in my chest to answer Crow’s question.
“..Boss?”
“… Ha ha.”
My hands were shaking like crazy as if they had been electrocuted.
As the tension eased, mixed emotions came over me and grabbed my hand and started shaking it wildly.
Since I came to this world, I have already been directly or indirectly involved in murder twice.
Even after seeing the corpse, instead of feeling guilty, I thought about the efficiency of work.
…Calm down.
“..Whoa…”
I thought about the reason for the murder I just did.
Mahanul. Numerous drugs were procured as carriers for family drugs.
Among them, there were many deadly drugs like ‘gluttony’.
Many people suffered because of the drugs Ma Han-ul procured, and people suffered or even died in the process of procuring drugs by Ma Han-ul.
..Deserved to die. Deserve to die It should be.
He struck the baton down on his brain and sentenced him.
The land.
The land.
The land.
Not to mention the black robes.
Because this guy unknowingly indulged in gluttony in Busan, the whole of Busan was blown away in the original work.
This person also deserves to die.
It has to be.
The land.
The land.
The land.
“..Whoa…”
I let the guilt out of my head with a sigh.
First of all, planning is the top priority.
If this plan fails, it will be even harder for me to survive.
The tremors in his hands began to subside.
With weakly trembling hands, I took the last remaining bottle from my bosom and held it up.
“There’s one left. Give it to me. I’ll somehow…”
“No. I will. Give it to me.”
He stepped out at the same time as Xiao and Crow and said he would do it himself.
But there will be no such action in my plans.
“Crow. Shao.”
I quietly called the two names, and when I called them, the two reacted immediately.
“Why?”
“Did you call?”
“..Do you guys believe me?”
At my sudden question, Xiao and Crow just stared at me.
“What are you talking about? Why all of a sudden…”
“I believe you. You are my lord.”
Crow glared at Xiao, who answered first, then said.
“..I believe. So what should we do?”
I laughed heartily.
Of course I thought you guys would come out..
“..Yes. If you believe me.”
I opened the cap of the bottle.
“Trust me on this too.”
Puhuk.
The contents of the bottle poured over my head.
A cold energy started from the head and went down the whole body.
The preparations are complete.
“What are you…?!”
I didn’t hesitate any longer and threw myself over the railing.
“Boss!”
“Master?!”
An urgent voice continued to be heard overhead, but it gradually receded.
The air rushes up from below and hits my whole body.
..Not so bad.
I reached into my right inner pocket and pulled out a long object.
Looking down, the black body of gluttony was approaching.
Now it’s time to put an end to my perfect plan.
I squeezed the long object with both hands.
The two pillars crossed at right angles seemed to radiate some kind of holy energy just by touching them.
The black, squishy floor gradually draws closer.
5 M.
4M.
3M.
2M.
1M.
On the verge of finally colliding with the floor.
I shouted in a voice that was neither too soft nor too loud.
“Amen! You motherf*cker!”
I put a period called the cross on the body full of the sin of gluttony.
