While Seo Moon-yeop was dealing with the corrupted high priest, Pietro was fighting a fierce battle with other priests.
-die!
A priest raised an aura.
The compressed aura shot out like a beam of light.
Pietro snapped his fingers.
Dig! Pod! Pod!
Three overlapping magic circles appeared in front of Pietro.
A three-layered magic circle blocked the rays.
"Take it too."
This time, Pietro extended his index finger towards the priest.
Before long, the aura on his index finger began to compress.
Pietro was not the high priest he used to be. He already died once and lost his body power, and since he is now in a human body, the amount to come is 100 levels, which is the limit of the human body.
But Pietro had another weapon.
Dig!
Pietro, who had teleported, appeared behind the priest.
-omg!
The astonished priest immediately avoided using space movement.
but.
Pietro flicked the other finger.
Pod!
The priest who performed the space movement appeared in place.
Pietro laughed.
"You should have defended yourself. immature."
Faaaaaa!!
- Aaah!
A beam of aura passed through the priest's body.
The other priests were mesmerized by the sight.
-To use space movement and manipulate space-time while compressing the aura!
-As expected, the high priest...
-It's an unprecedented aura management technique.
At the reaction of the priests who were terrified, the fifth senior priest shouted.
-What are you doing! Kill that human bastard together!
'Human bastard' was the sound referring to Pietro.
At those words, the priests also came to their senses. The high priest in the body of an insignificant human was no longer worthy of respect.
The temple is still in a situation where spirits covered in auras are flying around and attacking monsters.
The fifth high-ranking priest encouraged the priests, while he himself displayed his psychic power, 'Baekyeon'.
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
The white poison fog made of aura spread in an instant.
The target was the spirits flying around like crazy.
Baekyeon's poison had a special property of poisoning the aura, so even the evil spirits dwelling in the aura were able to strike.
'Once you get rid of the evil spirits, you can do something with the monsters. The author has a human body, so he doesn't have much aura!'
The fifth senior priest saw through Pietro's weaknesses.
Pietro had the highest level of aura among humans, but compared to the body of the underground man who evolved along with the aura, he was no different from wearing shackles.
A white mist spread.
The fierce movements of the spirits slowed down in the fog.
The white mist gradually entrapped the spirits and gradually poisoned them.
But that was then.
"I feel sorry for you."
Pietro waved his hands.
Then, in an instant, the white fog parted on both sides.
It was like a miracle to see the hazy vision clear at once as the fog cleared away.
"That imaginary effort, Fifth."
-Keuuugh! this traitor!
The fifth high-ranking priest, who was trembling, did not give up and raised his aura again.
His aura seeped into the corpses of dead monsters.
The dead Arachne and the skeletons stumbled back to life.
There was no life in their eyes, but Arachne and the skeletons that rose up again approached Pietro.
"Hoo?"
There was interest in Pietro's eyes.
"They didn't make them undead and raise them up, but they made them move by injecting an aura with complicated control settings. You are a child who has a lot of talent in that way."
The fifth senior priest snorted.
- Pretending to be relaxed is useless. Do you not know that there is a limit to the amount of aura that the human body can accommodate? Don't forget that I am the one who did numerous human experiments with you!
"Everyone knows."
Pietro was calm.
"So, thinking of old times, I have to show you something fun too."
When I snapped my fingers, another 4 magic circles came to mind.
The magic circle floated over the corpses of the priests killed by Pietro.
The fifth senior priest was stunned.
-Seo, can't you?
Pietro continued to close his eyes and perform 'Invocation', invoking the spirits of the dead.
yet.
- Ugh...
-You can't be this kind.
The four dead priests began to stand up.
It was the undead spirit.
-Uh, how can you kill the Undead Commander so quickly!!
The fifth senior priest shouted in fright.
"After dealing with the commander so much, this kind of thing became possible. With a human body, this is still a useful skill, isn't it?"
The fifth senior priest looked at Pietro like a monster. Only then did I realize who he was.
The greatest genius ever born of underground civilization.
Because he was smart and full of talent, he was full of confidence in himself, so he was the best and worst high priest who ran out of control without realizing his mistakes.
The priests who woke up as Undead were looking around and grasped the situation.
Pietro told them.
"Now, tell everyone what you have come to realize."
As soon as the instructions were given, the undead priests began to howl.
- We were deceived!
- First Advanced Priest! You are a heretic who has been conspiring with this devil!!
-What we were doing was not the will of the light in the beginning!
-He made us sinners and prevented us from becoming heroic spirits!
The Undead Priests, who were their colleagues just a little while ago, began to vomit in unison.
The fifth senior priest was perplexed.
- What is this?
The other priests are also agitated.
-What happened?
-You mean what the former high priest said was true?
The situation became a mess due to the undead priests.
As the situation progressed, the fallen High Priest went mad.
'What kind of filth is this!'
The situation started to get twisted when the high priest, who was thought to be dead, came back to life as a human and sided with the humans.
'No, is Seo Moon-yeop the cause?'
I was surprised to hear that Moon-yeop Seo, the culprit behind the disaster, had returned to life.
Of course, since humans cannot freely explore the underworld, there was no fear of being attacked unless the time-space was connected from this side first.
But the problem is the Queen.
The woman who continued to pretend to be a queen by hiding in human society and collecting her wandering people tried to contact Seo Mun-yeop.
Even now, if the queen, who is still wandering around the underworld and gathering her own people, even joins hands with Seo Mun-yeop, there was a concern that she would become a serious threat.
That's why he tried to kill Seo Mun-yeop.
However, rather than being treated, the third high-ranking priest in charge of this work lost contact, as if he was killed by Seo Moon-yeop.
As it turns out, isn't Seo Moon-yeop working with the high priest who became the Undead?
'The High Priestess is holding hands with a human to hinder me like this? Are you sane? Where did the faith that was so strong and sublime go and such an ugly thing!'
It was not enough that someone who was like his father had killed his own people, and he felt resentful because he was interfering with his grandiose will.
Corrupted high priest.
In other words, the first senior priest had to shed tears of blood while watching the old sanctuary collapse.
The opponent was a human being who, despite being insignificant and uncivilized, lived in a land where light fell, and received benefits overflowing with indebtedness.
They were savagely warring with each other because their society was not united as a single unit, and they were polluting the gracious land in which they lived.
They were a savage, violent, soil-polluting and harmful race, so the decision to exterminate them at once made sense.
However, I was defeated by such people, and even the sanctuary collapsed.
The belief that he was doing the right thing according to the words of the light in the beginning also collapsed.
I did as you said.
Why did this result come out?
Are the teachings of the light of the beginning wrong?
Even after leading the surviving priests to evacuate the collapsing Sanctuary, he continued to suffer.
In the end, I wandered in search of the light of the beginning to find the answer.
He explored the spirit realm while constantly immersed in meditation.
depth.
deeper.
Until we reach the place where the great heroic spirit that existed from the beginning is located.
I spent thousands of days immersed in meditation.
and finally reached
With the great Heroic Spirit who existed for a long time.
He told me what to do.
From then on, the first high priest rose to the rank of High Priest himself and became the true leader who would bring civilization back to life.
-There is no way our great civilization can be defeated by humans!
The Corrupted High Priestess shouted, brandishing two greatswords.
Seo Moon-yeop skillfully dodged the attack, and then headbutted the body with his shield.
cooong!
The Corrupted High Priest endured without being pushed back, but the offensive stalled as there was no space to wield the greatsword.
"I understand everything, man. This older brother is too great to be called a human being."
-this guy!
The Corrupted High Priestess kicked.
thud!
Seo Mun-yeop, who received it with his shield, grinned.
"Didn't you use your heart kindly? yes? The idea of making a hideous monster and attacking it. Don't you guys have a concept of peace in your heads?"
-Did you discuss pests and peace?
"There are pests everywhere. As you!"
Seo Moon-yeop pressed the fallen high priest with a series of stabs.
Dig!
At that moment, the corrupted high priest disappeared using space movement.
He then appeared from the left and crossed the two greatswords.
-Although the sanctuary was lost, that is not all the strength of our civilization!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!
A cross aura was poured on Seo Moon-yeop.
Seo Mun-yeop threw himself away while wearing a shield.
I was swept away by the waves of aura, but I was able to escape because I blocked it with my shield.
Seo Moon-yeop's response, who survived like a mouse even if he tried to press it, made the corrupted high priest even more angry and shouted.
-In the abandoned world, the wisdom of our ancestors is left behind! Just bring it and you're all done!
"This bastard still can't cover his shit. Why would you throw away such good wisdom and run away? Doesn't the emperor of the Millennium Lung laugh at you guys?"
When the Emperor Maninleung was mentioned, the fallen High Priest was startled.
It reminded him of his first and last failure, the Maninreung Expedition. At that time, the Emperor of Maninling was laughing at everyone.
"You're the cub you are holding. It's a monster expelled by the Emperor of Maninling in the past. The monster your ancestors created had evolved to a level that they couldn't handle, so they had to abandon the entire world and run away!"
-Again, again, what a freak...!
It was a distant ancient history that the fallen high priest had no way to know about.
The truth of the abandoned world.
An achievement that allowed Emperor Maninling to rule as an invincible monarch.
After summarizing them in a few words and pouring them out, the corrupted High Priest couldn't help but be shaken.
'This human bastard is trying to shake me with nonsensical nonsense again.'
I tried to clear my mind, but my body couldn't control the trembling.
Isn't it a story that penetrates too many mysteries to be said to have been made up on the spot?
While the two faced off, the confrontation between Pietro and the priests gradually escalated into a bloody battle.
The fifth high-ranking priest controlled the dead monster and pushed it constantly, and Pietro countered using his aura control skills and the fire support of the undead priests as a weapon.
The temple was about to collapse in a fight reminiscent of a war.
But that was then.
wriggling
The tail of the unfinished monster standing in front of the altar was very subtle, but it showed movement.
