Chapter 23

It's easy to tell if your guess is correct.

——Just solve the divine beast in front of you.

Even if that's not what he meant, he, who wants to collect ten incarnations, shouldn't sit idly by and watch the wild boar being defeated.

If that's the case, we can force out Verethragna, who is hiding nearby.

Thinking of this, Su Mo immediately took action.

He directly activated the magic, and his whole body turned into a beam of light.

"Wait! Don't be impulsive! That divine beast is very strong!"

Seeing Su Mo's actions, Erica immediately guessed what he was thinking and wanted to dissuade him.

However, with her speed, she couldn't stop Su Mo at all.

In the blink of an eye, she saw Su Mo's figure disappear and instantly appear next to the divine beast wild boar.

"So fast!"

Erica noticed Su Mo's speed, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

The human body directly elementalizes into light... This magic is very similar to the authority [Lightning Flint] of the Heretic God, Black Prince Alec.

However, what Black Prince Alec uses is the authority usurped from the gods, and it is transforming into lightning.

But this man uses magic and turns into light.

"What is the origin of this man, who actually possesses this level of magic!"

In addition to being shocked, Erica also had some expectations in her heart.

If it's a strong person of this level.

Maybe...

Not far away.

After moving in front of the divine beast wild boar, the wild boar gathered energy and once again spewed out shock waves that could crush mountains.

Although it's not as powerful as the charging up when competing with the [Wind] incarnation, it's stronger than Erica's last time.

The shock wave enveloped the entire area around Su Mo, obviously preparing to attack the entire range, not preparing to let Su Mo escape.

However, Su Mo had no intention of escaping.

Before the shock wave arrived, he directly constructed a defensive magic circle.

"Three Pillars God!"

A huge magic circle opened under his feet, and three pillar-shaped magic circles protected everything inside the formation.

The shock wave slammed into the nearby ground and blasted out a huge crater.

The defense of the Three Pillars God began to crack, but it could obviously last for a while.

Taking this opportunity, Su Mo did not hesitate, put his hands together, and directly unleashed his ultimate move.

"Fairy Law!"

A magic circle of dozens of meters appeared in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight briefly dispelled the haze.

The battle between the Ten Saints is enough to affect the celestial phenomena—what is happening now is proof of the truth of this sentence.

Holy and dazzling light descended from the sky, like a sharp arrow, punishing the huge wild boar that had destroyed half the city.

Those who don't know would think that this is a god punishing a monster who has done many evils!

However, only people in the magic world like Erica understand.

The truth is quite the opposite.

This scene in front of us is actually humans resisting the gods.

032 The God of War of the Fire Worship Cult

After the light dissipated.

The figure of the divine beast wild boar collapsed and fell to the ground.

"Actually really——!"

Erica, who saw this scene in the distance, widened her eyes, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.

Although she had thought of this possibility in her heart, Erica never thought that this divine beast, which she couldn't even get close to, would be instantly killed by another magician.

This is too outrageous!

Even my uncle Saint Paul, or paladins like Saint Raphael, don't have this level of strength!

Could this man be an extremely rare Saint Magister?!

Or a newly promoted Heretic God?

And Su Mo on this side.

Looking at the fallen wild boar in front of him, there was not much joy on his face.

Only a faint surprise.

"Didn't die even like this?"

Yes, after taking a [Fairy Law].

Although the wild boar had limply collapsed, it had not lost its vitality.

"As expected of a divine beast... Magic resistance and vitality are indeed strong."

Although the divine beast wild boar's current posture doesn't have much power to fight back, it wouldn't be difficult for Su Mo to kill it if he continued to attack.

But you must know that the wild boar's vitality is not outstanding among divine beasts.

Dragon snakes, these kinds of divine beasts, are the most powerful in terms of vitality.

If his opponent was a dragon snake-like divine beast, Su Mo suspected that even if he used a [Fairy Law], it might not cause too much serious damage.

"No wonder in the original book, Makarov never thought of using this move against the Black Dragon Acnologia."

He must have known it was useless.

And with the immortality of dragon snakes, even if injuries were caused, they might recover in the blink of an eye.

Thinking like this, Su Mo was not in a hurry to finish off the divine beast wild boar.

Instead, he suddenly said loudly.

"Still not willing to appear? The God of War of the Fire Worship Cult shouldn't be a guy who likes to hide his head and show his tail, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

A figure of a young man appeared in front of Su Mo with a gust of wind.

"Is it necessary to say it to this extent?"

The young man with purple hair and golden pupils flashing with divine brilliance said with a slightly helpless tone.

"I specially left you time so that you could end your prey and boast about your achievements!"

Without a doubt.

This young man is the Heretic God, Verethragna, the God of War of the Fire Worship Cult himself.

"...So, this is really a trial?"

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

"But now it's modern society, not ancient society, and there is no longer a ritual of using the enemy's head to show off one's bravery."

"That's really a pity, so many excellent rituals have not been passed down."

Verethragna shook his head, obviously sincerely feeling a little regretful.

Showing off the prey he hunted everywhere was a custom in the age of gods.

"You're really not sorry..."

Su Mo glanced at the wild boar next to him with some pity.

"Isn't this one of your incarnations? You're actually willing to be destroyed like this?"

Hearing this, Verethragna said seriously.

"Since it's a trial, although it's the result of a whim, as a god, I naturally have to bear all the possibilities of the trial. It would be too ungentlemanly to go back on my word!"

Although this would make him lose an incarnation.

But compared to the power of a mere incarnation, Verethragna values ​​combat etiquette and divine spirit more.

If you don't even dare to accept the loss of a mere divine beast, what qualifications do you have to impose trials on humans!

Su Mo quite appreciated the spirit shown by Verethragna.

"As expected of the God of War!"

After praising him, he immediately climbed up the pole.

"Since it's a trial, the gods should give rewards to those who pass the trial, right?"

"That's natural."

Verethragna nodded.

"But before that, you should completely kill [Wild Boar] and complete the ritual."

He is not a stingy type, but he values ​​combat etiquette very much.

As long as Su Mo takes action to end the divine beast wild boar, he will naturally not go back on his word and will give the corresponding reward.

In Verethragna's view, this request could not be simpler.

The divine beast wild boar has lost most of its vitality, just give it the final blow.

However, what he didn't expect was.

"Must kill [Wild Boar]?"

After hearing this, Su Mo shook his head without hesitation.

"Then let's forget it."

In his words, he was actually going to give up this reward.

Immediately, Verethragna became more interested in Su Mo.

He originally just came to collect incarnations, but he never expected to encounter such an interesting existence.

"Why?"

Verethragna couldn't help but ask.

"The magic power in your body should be enough to release that magic just now again, killing [Wild Boar] shouldn't be difficult."

For this question.

Su Mo responded with a bright smile.

"The reason is very simple, I heard that Heretic Gods who are not completely killed do not seem to grant authorities."

The plain tone was like idle chat between friends.

But the content of the words shocked even Verethragna, the Heretic God.

"Hahahahaha!"

The God of War of the Fire Worship Cult burst out laughing.

"So that's how it is, you are also like those sons of fools, eyeing my life?"

"Hahaha! Happy, happy! I didn't expect to meet someone as special as you before the final battle with Mekal, it seems that this trip to the lower realm was not in vain!"

033 So Coincidentally, You Are Also a Warrior of Light?

Heretic God
