Chapter 365

Evan D. Sherden, End of the Play (3)

The first thing that came into Save’s head when he looked at a boy standing in front of him was that he was just too pitiful.

[Name (God race)]

[Existence Level 35, Dungeon Level 71]

[Lost Avenger – Becomes stronger against all kin of God and the Devil by 1.5 times, but becomes weaker towards those who are not within God’s domain.]

[Passive Skill – Ambush Lv.27, Maliciousness Lv.66(Unique Skill), Demon Swordsmanship Lv.67, Combat Technique Lv.45, Evil Lord Lv.55, Poison Resistance Lv.45, Holy Resistance Lv.41.]

[Active Skill – Devil’s Fist Lv.72, Vicious Grab Lv.85, Cruel Thrust Lv.65, Summon Tentacle Lv.71.]

[Aptitude – Gladiator (Gladius, Combat boots)]

[He is under the status of a charm. It cannot be easily undone due to the effect of the job.]

“You’ve entered the wrong path.”

As it seemed rather inappropriate for him to say much when enemies surrounded him, Save was sincere with his words. And, of course, Name was angered by it.

“Words coming from God’s hunting dog. How dare you say such when you’ve been given all the benefits since birth…!?”

“God’s hunting dog? No, I don’t follow God. You can say I’m an assistant…but there’s only one person that I follow, and he exists.”

“Well, you are the disciple of the nameless god!”

And there was Enoch, who tried to tackle Save’s words despite being in this imminent situation. Save ignored him.

“Enoch, you’ve said you couldn’t dispel their charm.”

“Well, I can if the level of charm was something that’s doable, but the caster is too strong this time. It won’t be dispelled unless the caster dies.”

“I am not affected by any abnormalities!”

Name reached out his hand while yelling. A dark miasma came together in the air, and a giant devil’s hand was created. All other god races who followed Name attacked together, which made the Sacred Guild attack alongside them. However…

“Lin!”

“Everyone, be sealed!”

As Lin shouted in a sharp voice and raised her staff, a semi-transparent sphere of light appeared in the air to stop all incoming attacks. Everyone was terrified by her outstanding performance, so they lost their will and stopped moving. Lin, who stopped the attacks from the high-level adventurers without a sweat, smiled brightly and looked around the party members.

“What should we do?”

“Oppa, if our commander was here, he would have defeated them all with his palm.”

“Those people…Renail, Enoch, and I will deal with those god race. For Ms. Lin, Lan, and Louise, please take care of the Sacred Guild.”

“…Perhaps.”

“That is by his will.”

The ideal arrangement in dealing with the enemies was by appropriately distributing close-range and long-range fighters along with the priest, but there was an underlying meaning to it. The enemies didn’t notice it, but his members knew it right away.

“I’ll quickly end them and help!”

“Release!”

Lan, who was always dull in reading the mood, launched the first attack, and Lin aimed all the attacks she sealed towards the enemies and released them. The attacks that contained the mana of the void god and got released after being redirected bombarded the enemies, and they had to stop them at all cost. The sub-party used that opportunity to split themselves in half and confront their foes.

“I’ll kill you!”

Name defended himself by releasing his mana, and he led the god race’s children to attack Save. Renail created an earth spear to hinder their advance.

“Hiyaaaaaaat!”

Save fell straight from the empty air above and swung his halberd imbued with purple mana at Name like a guillotine. Right before his halberd split Name’s head into two, Name shouted while reaching out his hand.

“Summon Tentacles!”

Several dark and thick tentacles sprung from his hand and blocked Save’s halberd. No, it would rather be precise to say that those tentacles tried to block the strike, but they got obliterated instead. Save’s halberd went with the flow and tried to cut through Name’s hand, but the other god race’s children blocked it with their shields.

“Karggggh!”

The halberd went through the shield and struck the chest of its wielder, who was flung into the dungeon wall while spraying blood.

“What…!?”

Name opened his eyes wide. He couldn’t believe what had just happened. According to the information received previously, Save’s members didn’t have higher dungeon levels than theirs. Moreover, they became much stronger as their dungeon levels increase. So how could a simple human do such?

“Strength from faith.”

“Faith!? Then it can’t be!”

Name charged forward while clenching his teeth. He believed in his job, the Lost Avenger. The name of the skill was Cruel Thrust, a bloody skill that tore through everything in its path by thrusting forward mana along with the endless jabs.

“Whew.”

But Save already analyzed his skill and its effect, so he was able to confront it face to face without even trying to avoid it. Purple mana was concentrated into the halberd in his hand, and it put pressure on its entire surrounding.

“No matter how strong your faith is!”

Name’s eyes showed a burst of devilish energy, and he kicked off the ground to spring forward. The miasma surrounding his entire body formed the shape of a beast which opened its giant mouth to swallow Save whole.

“It won’t have any effect on me!”

“And since you have such thoughts…”

Save gripped his halberd firmly with both of his hands and back towards his armpit, which formed the position of a thrust. Responding to someone who is about to thrust with the same thrust, it was nothing other than a provocation.

“Hiyaaaaaa!”

Name was more irritated by it, but Save held his ground with a cold expression, and right before the beast’s mouth could bite down on him…

“It means you entered the devious path.”

He thrust his halberd calmly.

“Kaarrrgh!?”

The purple light came together beautifully as a single line and painted the empty air. The dark miasma that was about to reach Save’s body dissipated completely, and the tip of the halberd hit Name’s stomach.

“Argggggh…!”

Luckily, the miasma that covered his body stretched out like a tentacle and defended him, but not completely. The tentacle was ripped apart, and the spear finally stopped after penetrating the armor covering his stomach and punching a hole in it. Name was only able to block the impact halfway, so he ended up being spiked on the halberd lifelessly. That was unthinkable from the elite of the god race, which reached the 70th floor in a few years, but he ended up getting beaten to a pulp with just one frontal attack.

“Leader!”

“That bastard…grgh!”

The god race members who followed Name as their leader weren’t able to do much either in front of the attacks of their opponents. With Renail casting fearsome earth magic attacks and Enoch’s holy shield that completely blocks all close-ranged and long-ranged attacks, they were just impregnable. Putting aside Renail and Save, who received an elite training course since they started growing up, Enoch wasn’t able to understand how his holy power was effective against them. And the answer was provided by Save.

“They become stronger against the followers of God and the Devil. In short, they are those who deny the existence of divinity. But as an opposite, they are weak to us, those who follow ‘him,’ the owner of true strength.”

“Even the nameless god is divine!”

“But in fact, Enoch’s holy magic is effective on them. It wouldn’t be that effective if it were another priest.”

“Hey, you, that’s because the nameless god is far superior…”

“Ha.”

“Argh!”

Save ignored the last word Enoch said, and he lifted the halberd to spike it down on the ground. Name ended up being skewered on the ground by the halberd.

“Now, please.”

Save whispered. The enemies realized the meaning of his whisper through their bodies.

“Argh!”

“Kyaaah!?”

Daggers like a thick nail penetrated the ankles of everyone who was standing on the ground with both feet, causing them to stumble to the ground.

“What, what’s all this!?”

“Leader, leadeeeeer…!”

At that moment, a boy appeared from nowhere. He hid in pitch-black leather clothes while hefting a spare dagger in one hand.

“Whew. I was worried that I might be discovered.”

“Lucid!”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

His name was Lucid, the card hidden up the sleeve of Louise’s party and one of their strongest members. He became fluent with his hiding skills during the past months, and he moved without being noticed from the moment he encountered the enemies. Save, who knew about this, acted like Lucid wasn’t there to give him the window of opportunity to take down the enemies.

“Ah, Lucid was there! You saved us.”

“Don’t, don’t forget about me, please.”

Renail, who was thinking of confronting the enemies with just herself and Save, finally got relieved and sighed, causing Lucid to reply tearfully. Meanwhile, Save was pushing down on Name, struggling and concentrating the dark miasma against the halberd pressing on him.

“Mr. Enoch, please bound them all with a barrier. They won’t be able to resist your power.”

“All right, but I have to emphasize that the nameless god is a god. His abilities far succeed the others! I’ll explain the details through his scriptures!”

As Enoch willingly cast the barrier, Renail felt something was off in what Save said.

“Won’t you kill these guys, Save? They are responsible for this Great Backflow after all!”

“I do want to kill them. But they are under a charm, so they can’t make proper decisions. I believe we have to consider their circumstances a bit. And moreover…”

As Enoch’s barrier magic completely imprisoned Name as well, Save lifted up his halberd and murmured with a bitter look.

“He cherishes the god race. Perhaps, he’ll find a way for them to repent from their sins.”

“But even the god race must be punished for their evil deeds!”

“That’s the same for humans, too!”

Lin and Lan hopped all the way from the back as they spoke. The Sacred Guild was also taken care of, somehow. Perhaps with Lin and Lan on her side, Louise would have had an easier time dealing with the enemies than Save had.

“Sorry, Save.”

Louise pointed at the horrific scene behind her while looking embarrassed. In that place where arms, legs, and heads of people were tumbling all about, only the guild leader and his assistant of Sacred Guild were lying down on the ground, alive.

“We’ve killed quite a lot here.”

“Nothing can be done if it was during the battle. If you want, Ms. Louise, I’ll kill them as well.”

“No.”

Louise whined at Evan that she wanted to see him through her transmitter before the battle, but she used her vicious method, the puppetry, to manipulate and massacre enemies. Then, she shook her head firmly.historical

“I couldn’t agree with you more. We can’t ask those who got involved with the incident to atone for their sins.”

They were all just acting on the stage. They were used by the Incubus King, just like how Louise’s party was moving according to Evan’s will.

‘…Master.’

But this ridiculous act would soon be over. Master Evan promised to present her with an appropriate reward once she came down from the stage. Louise willingly danced like a doll for that moment since the start.

‘So, I’m different from them…Yes, I’m different.’

‘I want to meet my Master soon. I’ve fulfilled a great achievement according to his will so that the reward will be great. It surely will be.’

“Let’s get out! There will be more monsters out there!”

“We, Jhin…No, we have to fight with more bad guys! Hurry, quickly!”

Lin and Lan were stamping their feet excitedly in their spots. Louise regained her posture and nodded.

“Yup, guys. Let’s go. Let’s stop the conspiracy of the Demon tribe.”

Someone’s stage completely ended, and its curtain got closed at this moment. But there were several more scenes before the entire act ends.
