“You avoid well like a mouse!”

Jo Yong-ho, who was injured everywhere, shouted.

Muhyuk was bleeding. He took a deep breath while ignoring those words.

He felt like his heart was about to explode.

Muhyuk was eventually thrown out of the cave by Park Moo-hae and jingjo's pincer movement.

Jo Yong-ho, who has changed his appearance to a beast, began cursing.

“Damn Park Moo-hae. All my subordinates died because of you!”

Jo Yong-ho lost nearly all of his bureaucracy's force to the jingjo of corruption. Jo Yong-ho dealt with them by unleashing his powers and barely taking them down. But in the process, he lost most of his subordinates.

And besides, there was Muhyuk, who still wasn’t dead, attacking them.

“Damn it….!”

Jo Yong-ho pushed Muhyuk to a dead end, but things didn’t go well and he became impatient. He couldn’t give the final blow at all because of Muhyuk's Black Onyx Blade.

‘Never knew there was a blacksmith who uses that much of a black onyx gemstone…’

It was very difficult to repair and make a gem sword because of its poor durability. Besides, it was a sword ground with that expensive black onyx gemstone. This sword, crafted by an unknown geek, made jingjo completely powerless.

Kkikik….!

If they rushed and were cut by the Black Onyx Blade, even jingjo and high-ranking members were bound to suffer fatal wounds.

‘We have to make him tired.’

Jo Yong-ho thought this was the best way to go in a situation where they couldn’t easily approach Muhyuk. In the end, all he could do was to make the remaining deads attack him and look out for a loophole.

But there was no such a thing as a loophole. Without making any achievement, the number of dead bodies of his subordinates only increased.

When things didn't work out, Jo Yong-ho turned to Park Moo-hae this time.

“Park Moo-hae! How can you just leave me without letting me know beforehand! You should’ve at least left me with a few jingjo!”

At Jo Yong-ho's angry words, Park Moo-hae, who changed back to his human form, spoke, pretending to be sorry.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know how much it would take to catch Muhyuk. Still, thanks to director Jo for defeating the jingjo of corruption, we caught this snake-like bastard, didn't we?"

“Damni it! I’m going to report every single thing that happened today to the presbytery!”

Jo Yong-ho was growling.

As he listened to Jo Yong-ho’s words, Park Moo-hae thought to himself,

‘Idiot. He would only be able to make a report under the assumption that he survives.’

Park Moo-hae wanted to remove Jo Yong-ho as soon as possible. He thought it would be better for him to be the only survivor.

Suddenly,

“Kkkkk….”

Hearing their conversation, Muhyuk laughed. He spoked as he spitted out the blood inside his mouth.

“Is this the combat power from the ones who are at the level of the priest?”

Muhyuk, breathing roughly, leaned against the cliff and aimed the onyx blade.

“Watch your mouth!”

“That stupid dumbass. You’re on the verge of death!”

All that they could do was grind their teeth. That was it.

At that hilarious sight, Muhyuck organized his thoughts. Then, he checked the crack on his sword.

‘There’s a crack already. By one mistake, the sealed jingjo will be released.’

The durability became poor, so it was hard to use the onyx blade.

And he was surrounded….

However, there was still a way to reverse the situation.

This fight needed to come to an end.

‘I must kill them quickly.’

Then, Muhyuk pulled out a smoke grenade from his tactical belt, released the safety device, and threw it in front of him.

Click!

Tirirk!

Psshhhhh!

After throwing three more in a row, smoke came out in an instant and began to obscure the surrounding field of vision.

The deads surrounding Muhyuk shouted.

He’s running away!

Block him!

Muhyuk was superb with a front attack, but what he was even more talented at was stealth and surprise attack.

So he needed to disappear from their sight first.

Ssssk…

The white smoke completely obscured Muhyuk.

‘I have to take aback.’

Making a counterattack when everyone expected his escape, was the most effective.

‘The situation will flip if I manage to at least take Park Moo-hae down.’

With that in mind, Muhyuk ran straight to where Park Moo-hae was standing, ignoring other deads.

He immediately sliced Park Moo-hae’s neck through the smoke.

Pwack!

The blade that was aimed at the neck made a terrifying sound. As the smoke dispersed in the powerful blow with all his might, the blade was revealed in Park Moo-hae's sight.

“You?!”

Park Moo-hae couldn’t do anything about the attack as he was defenseless.

Cha-ak!

The blade pierced Park Moo-hae's neck.

Aaaaaaaa!

Park Moo-hae stepped backward, screaming. He was very perplexed.

‘I didn’t foresee my death by Muhyuk!’

Seeing Muhyuk, who was wielding his weapon in front of him, he became lost in fear.

‘Did the demon king abandon me….?!’

Ping!

When Muhyuk was about to stab Park Moo-hae’s heart,

Puck!

Somebody came like a wind and kicked Muhyuk.

“Keuk!”

Muhyuk's attack failed.

“You idiot. Can’t you guys do anything without me?”

It was the Grand Duke of Lust.

Seeing the Grand Duke, Park Moo-hae shouted inwardly.

‘I was right! I wasn’t going to die!’

Park Moo-hae was more thrilled by the fact that the demon king didn’t abandon him than the fact that the Grand Duke of Lust saved his life.

He lowered his head to the Grand Duke.

“Thank you, Grand Duke!”

Then, he smirked at Muhyuk, whose attack has failed.

“Kkk. You deserve to die like a dog!”

Suddenly.

Krrrrr…..

Jo Yong-ho, who appeared in a form of a tiger, growled beside him.

“I lost all my subordinates because of you…! I will bite you to death!”

“......”

All Muhyuk could do was to look at them with the sword in his hand.

‘A few average dead subordinates, and two ranker-class dead, nine jingjo of corruption, and the Grand Duke of Lust….’

A laugh came out.

‘This cannot be a fair match.’

Ha…..

Muhyuk held the blade with one hand and held the dagger with the other. Then he thought to himself.

‘I will kill at least one of them for my teacher….!’

When Jo Yong-ho was about to run towards him, the Grand Duke of Lust grabbed and pushed down the tiger’s shoulder. Jo Yong-ho staggered.

“Grand, Grand Duke?!”

“Hmm, he looks much more useful than these old priests….”

The Grand Duke suddenly approached Muhyuk. And she spoke to him.

“Hey you, do you want to be my people?”

There was a short silence.

Park Moo-hae opened his mouth.

“B, but Grand Duke, that guys is-”

Park Moo-hae couldn’t continue his words.

Boom!

He threw Park Moo-hae far away with her magi. The Grand Duke, whose face changed to an evil devil, poured out her anger.

“What kind of bugger interrupts when I’m talking?! This is why I hate priests!”

“Eeeee….”

Park Moo-hae moaned lying on the ground.

When the Grand Duke looked at Jo Yong-ho, he lowered his eyes as if telling him he will not raise any objections to what the Grand Duke was doing.

The Grand Duke of Lust, who seemed to be satisfied, turned to Muhyuk again.

“What do you think….? I can grant you a delight that’s beyond your imagination… Besides, I can also give you a power that is far better than that of these old guys….”

The Demon King of Lust was dead. Once the Grand Duke of Lust gains enough power, she will become the new Demon King of Lust.

“.....”

As expected, Muhyuk wasn’t listening to her at all. Seeing that, the Grand Duke of Lust smiled.

“Everyone reacts like you at the beginning…. But even a man with a strong will changes once they feel my touch…..”

Soon, the Grand Duke of Lust disappeared like a cloud of smoke in front of Muhyuk.

Muhyuk held out his sword to be ready for an attack. Suddenly, a black smoke behind Muhyuk whispered.

“Caught you.”

She grabbed Muhyuk’s forehead. Then,

“Keuk…..”

Muhyuk’s hand holding the sword trembled. His body became paralyzed, and he could no longer move.

Hoosh!

The Grand Duke of Lust, who moved along with the black smoke in front of Muhyuk, looked at him with eyes filled with delight.

“Good, you’re doing well.”

And she put a seductive smile on her face.

“You’re looking for the moment that will give you the greatest happiness…. Good… Slowly…”

As soon as she finished her words, Muhyuk’s eyes became blurred and the sclera appeared.

“Hoho…. This is the girl you like…. If you want, I can turn this kid into a succubus. You guys will be happy together… Good, slowly, slo-”

Suddenly,

Ping!

A single ray of light pierced through the Grand Duke’s head.

“.....Ah?”

The Grand Duke could feel a sudden flash in her sight.

Then,

Pwack!

A stream of blood erupted from the head of the Grand Duke, from where the light had just passed through.

“Ahh…..”

The Grand Duke staggered in shock and eventually fell.

The Grand Duke with her head pierced, slightly opened her mouth.

“Re….recovery…”

On the floor where a ray of light pierced the Grand Duke’s head landed, there was a luxurious-looking arrow with a diamond embedded.

When the Grand Duke tried to stand up with her staggering body, Muhyuk, who just woke up, was looking down at her.

He still had his onyx blade in his hand.

“W, wait….!”

Stab-

Muhyuk stabbed the onyx blade into her heart.

Aaaaaaa!

The Grand Duke’s body began to twist, and she returned to a terrible-looking devil while her body was getting shrunk.

Boom!

She exploded like a balloon and disappeared.

“......”

Muhyuk stared at the place where the Grand Duke of Lust just exploded in a daze.

Other deads were in panic.

“What, what’s going on?”

“Where was the shooting coming from?!”

Jo Yong-ho and Park Moo-hae started looking for the direction in which the arrow came, but it was already late.

Whoosh!

Countless arrows started coming at them.

Aaaaaaaa!

The remaining deads and the priests scattered to avoid the arrows. Muhyuk looked up at where the rain of arrows was coming from.

“She is…..”

The first hero, with long blonde hair, who’s aiming a longbow at the deads on the ground. Setz Sindarin, who had various pendulum arrows attached to the string, was looking at him.

In the meantime, at the Geumsu Mountain Sun Palace.

“You’re saying….that I can be free?”

“Yes.”

“.....”

The magic swordsman asked back, then he laughed.

“So you’re asking me to help you with pulling out the holy spear?”

“Yes.”

The magic swordsman shook his head as if he was looking at a kid who was asking for unrealistic things.

“Where are you going to use that holy spear for? That’s not something that a human can use. It’s a godly material that only angels and saints, who received God’s blessing, can use.”

But Jin-seong shook his head.

“Is that important to you?”

“...What?”

“If you can pull out that spear, isn’t it good news for your master who’s controlling you? There’s no reason for you to not help me.”

The magic swordsman stared at Jin-seong. He was talking as if he didn’t care whether the world ends or not.

The magic swordsman shouted.

“You’re talking bullshit! Are you seriously going to wake one of the strongest lords, the Lord of Corruption?”

Jin-seong spoke as if he was talking to a different person other than the magic swordsman, who was listening to their conversation.

“Well, I don’t think there’s any suggestion for your necromancer that is more appealing than mine.”

“You bastard!”

The undead who came to serve their master must carry out the orders of the master regardless of their will. Therefore, the magic swordsman had no reason to reject the suggestion of Jin-seong, whose purpose was the same as his current master's.

“Keuk….”

The magic swordsman frowned.

‘Did I see him wrong….?!’

He wanted to kill Jin-seong right away, but he could no longer attack him since his purpose met the will of his master.

All he could do was throw swears at him.

“You son of a bitch…. You are the lion of catastrophe!”

He was staring at Jin-seong in great anger.

Tiring!

[You made the magic swordsman hate you! Achievement, ‘Stop talking bullshit!’ has been fulfilled. Rewards will be sent to your inventory!]

As things started to turn out as he expected, Jin-seong nodded.

‘I’m done with the first achievement.’

Ssssk.

“Follow me.”

Jin-seong walked out of the building, leaving the angry magic swordsman behind.

Seeing Jin-seong, the magic swordsman growled.

“...That damn bastard.”

Ignoring the magic swordsman’s swears, he checked the reward in his inventory.

[Item in the inventory, ‘Purification Industry’ has been added!]

‘Purification Industry?’

Unlike its fabulous name, what was in the inventory was a small mechanical device that was the size of a bucket.

+ Name: Purification Industry Rating: A Description: A purification device created by the dwarves. It can purify contaminated areas or objects. The effect is amplified according to the amount of mana input. +

Reading the description, Jin-seong nodded.

‘It’s something I needed for this place.’

Jin-seong thought that once he finishes his task here, he will activate this item at the Forest of Decay.

Jin-seong stared at the fountain where the golden spear was stuck into.

“Magic swordsman.”

“.....”

The magic swordsman didn’t answer.

Jin-seong spoke to him as he turned around.

“What are you going to do if I can use this spear?”

“...What?”

The magic swordsman was annoyed by his nonsense talk.

“....I’m telling you again that it’s only the angels who can use that spear. Only those with the dignity of God can use this holy spear…!”

“Then watch.”

Jin-seong, who spoke calmly, reached out his hands to the spear that was standing like a pillar.

“....Crazy bitch. Why is he keep talking nonsense-”

Suddenly,

Kookooookooo...

The spear of light that could never be moved began to shake the whole place with a loud sound.
