The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

Chapter 47

Lee So-wol and I agreed that Mine had come to this place.

However, Nam Tae-soo had a face that he did not understand.

“Does that mean that the demons exorcised the owner of the magic station? Aww, that makes no sense.”

“Of course not. The fact that the magic station remains is that the owner of the magic station is alive. Do you think we don’t know that?”

“Then what happened?”

“Look at the results. Mine fought the fire fox. And the fire fox isn’t dead, but it’s not in the magic area. Then what do you think the remaining possibilities are?”

Nam Tae-soo, thinking for a moment, laughed.

“Are you saying they captured the fire fox?”

Capturing a monster alive?

It was the first time I had heard of it.

“Is that possible?”

So I asked, but the answer that came back was surprisingly simple.

“You can do it if you want to. It will be difficult and dangerous. But… I don’t know what that means.”

“·······”

“Fire foxes cannot be tamed unless they are caught. That’s why I can’t even use it as a food soul, and what’s more valuable is the fox orb he holds. I heard it’s a very good ingredient for magic. But in order to take it away, I have to kill the fire fox after all…”

Having said that, Lee So-wol kept his mouth shut for a while and was lost in thought.

in between.

I pretended to look around and followed the arrow.

The arrow was still pointing to one corner of the gym.

“What do you think…is it an item after all?”

I thought so.

I’m sure there’s a clue missing from the quest item or something.

Thinking so, I walked towards it with light steps.

Then I saw an unnaturally deep pit.

“hmm.”

Is that pit the place where the item is?

That moment.

A subtle stench stung my nose.

Something very familiar smell.

Recalling that memory, I naturally frowned.

It was definitely the smell of rotting corpses.

“Items come out…”

I muttered that and looked into the pit.

No matter how much I could tell by smell, I had to check it with my eyes just in case.

Then, indeed, there was a rotting corpse in it.

I clicked my tongue once and turned around.

“Here is something!”

I immediately informed Sowol Lee and Taesu Nam of the existence of the body.

Then, they looked surprised for a while.

“I’ll have to do the repairs first.”

Work began immediately to dispose of the body.

In the small bag Nam Tae-soo had, a white cloth and some tools needed for probation came out.

“Did you prepare this in advance?”

“yes. Of course, I didn’t bring it here to use it.”

He replied with a wry smile.

Well, the court thought that Cha Seo-hyun was dead, so maybe that’s why they brought it.

I’m glad I can use it for better than its original purpose.

“I help too.”

If a body was found anyway, it was up to the police.

This was an important piece of evidence, and it was the duty of a national institution to supervise a forensic investigation like an autopsy.

But Nam Tae-soo waved his hand.

“All right. I also have something to say to myself.”

“Yeah, let it go. He should have one too.”

“Can’t you help me a little bit?”

While Lee So-wol and Nam Tae-soo are bickering.

I stared at the corpse.

The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, but the cause of death seemed obvious.

The claw marks that shattered the entire upper body, starting from the shoulder.

In other words, it was said that this corpse was one of the demons who tried to capture the fire fox here.

“This must be Mine, right?”

“I guess so. They must have abandoned the number of people who were killed while fighting the fire fox.”

“It’s heartless.”

“What do you want from them? Anyway, good for us. The demons are plotting something, and they left that clue behind.”

It was.

So, the quest must have pointed to that corpse.

“Tsk, but that bastard can’t even do that properly.”

Lee So-wol, who was watching Nam Tae-soo’s corpse collection process, started to help him as if he was frustrated.

With a little time left, I moved away from them and checked the quest icon.

As expected, the prologue of the main quest had been completed with this.

Is that rotting corpse the road leading to the main quest?

Mine may not have intended it, but you’ve been given an important mission along the way.

With that thought in mind, I pressed the quest completion button.

“…What else do you want me to give you this time?”

The reward was quite expected.

Isn’t that the main quest though?

The difficulty level was quite high, and of course it would give something good.

It was when I was thinking so.

＜You have obtained the conversion equipment (set)!＞

＜Experience capsule (small) obtained!＞

“hmm···?”

Looking at the log window, I tilted my head.

EXP capsules… well, there’s nothing to look at.

Transformation equipment (set), what is this again?

I immediately checked the information.

＜Conversion Equipment (Set)＞

If you own a set item, it will be converted into the equipment of the selected set item.

It has no stats when worn, but unlocks 1 effect from that set.

Conversion is only possible once per day.

“oh···!”

It was a better item than expected.

Even so, one lofty priest set was empty.

It was said that if you wear this, you can unlock the 3 set effects.

Besides, if it was converted once a day, there was no reason to save it.

So I immediately applied it to the lofty priest set.

Then, the added effect of [Spirit Guide], which the priest set has, caught my eye.

Attribute [Spirit Guide]

– Combat damage against spirit-type monsters +100%

– Spirit detection +1

– Enhanced spiritual recovery

– Code function open

Code function?

In fact, a new Code button had been added to the screen.

When I press it, I see only one empty slot.

There was no explanation whatsoever.

So it looks like you’re putting something in this empty slot… Are you really asking me to put a soul to be commanded?

“I’ll have to wait and see.”

I didn’t even know much about the necromancy function now, and even if I did, I didn’t have the soul to put it in anyway.

So at least something to think about after getting something.

So I closed the window and looked at the remaining reward.

Experience capsule (small).

Well…of course it’s just experience.

Besides (small), it may be a reward that doesn’t really touch you.

“No.”

What should I say, the timing for giving this was exquisite.

Right now I’m only level 24.

Are you saying you’re going to let me level up with this?

I used the capsules straight away.

Then the level up effect really popped up, and I became level 25.

What is this?

They give you exactly what you need when you need it.

At first, it was a quest reward and he only did dog-like things, but it seemed that his senses improved before he knew it.

I immediately checked the skills that were the reward for reaching level 25.

– Heart of Light

Immune to all status ailments.

This time, it was a skill with the word light in its name.

It was a passive skill with extremely simple content, but the effect was very good.

Immune to all status ailments.

In other words, it is a skill that blocks not only poison and numbness, but also the effects of mental manipulation such as fascination and fantasy.

It was one of the fraudulent skills that made it possible for unreasonable warriors to carry around.

“It is good.”

Without thinking, I came to that conclusion.

Even so, the exorcists were particularly afraid of the curse that demons used.

While the ways to solve it were limited, the damage was quite lethal.

But now I was immune to the curse.

I closed the window with a satisfied smile.

and after a while

“It’s almost over.”

Nam Tae-soo said that after finishing collecting the corpse.

It was time to leave this place.

“Then what about here now?”

Leaving the station behind, as expected, I felt uncomfortable.

In addition, if a resonance phenomenon is caused in the wrong place, human casualties will occur.

However, there was no owner of the demon to exorcise, so it was just frustrating.

However, Lee So-wol answered him simply.

“I have to break it down.”

“Break it down?”

“It’s rare that there is no owner of the station like now, but it’s not very rare. There are cases where the owner of a demon is kicked out by another demon, or there are cunning guys who run away after seeing the skill of an exorcist. That’s how the owner is empty, just break the core of the main room.”

Sowol Lee then pointed to the center of the ceiling.

There was a red marble a little bigger than a fist that was hard to find unless you were conscious.

Is that nuclear?

Then, wouldn’t it be fine to just destroy that nuclear nucleus normally?

While I was thinking that, Lee So-wol added as if looking into my head.

“In the state where the owner of the magic station is present, you have to destroy it to regenerate it right away. That’s because it’s just a vessel that holds demonic energy.”

“···okay.”

“Compared to my skills, I surprisingly don’t know anything.”

“Because I’m still inexperienced.”

“Well, is he like that too?”

Lee So-wol nodded and immediately broke the core.

Then, the realm really started to collapse, and we soon returned to reality.

The dispatch of the day ended there.

and at 1:00 PM on the same day.

I went to work at the police box again.

It was like coming back at dawn, getting some sleep, and going to work twice on Monday alone.

That alone made me feel very bad, but I couldn’t bear to express my dissatisfaction.

If the team leader had been comfortably guarding the office, I would have been able to talk behind my back.

It was because the team leader himself returned it by the weekend and was still out on the field fighting the enemy.

“Whoa…”

So, I wrote a report for Seo In-na, who was not at the office, and sent it by e-mail.

Then, another person left in the office, Han Seong-min, approached my seat.

“It’s quiet without the team leader. Isn’t it?”

The two, who were hospitalized last week, have yet to return.

And Choi Eun-young is at the site with team leader Seo In-na.

So, the only ones in the office right now were Sungmin Han and me.

“Thanks to you, I can kill time today and then quit.”

Han Seong-min giggled and said.

But that was a stupid idea.

Why did Seo In-na bother to send us to work in the afternoon, even though she was on set?

It doesn’t even leave work behind.

The person I identified as Seo In-na was not that clumsy.

“Okay, drink one of these too.”

“huh?”

I handed Han Seong-min the coffee I bought on the way to work.

“Oh, thank you. But why are there two left?”

“Why why? It’s because there are people to eat.”

“Somebody to eat?”

As soon as Han Sungmin finished speaking, the sound of a car engine approached from outside.

And when it came right in front of the police station, Han Sung-min’s face finally turned dark.

It wasn’t long before Seo In-na and Choi Eun-young came to the office.

“Did you come first?”

“Oh, hello…”

Seo In-na and Choi Eun-young entered the office with tired faces.

In response, I greeted naturally, and Han Sung-min awkwardly.

“Did the enemy exorcise safely?”

“then. Thanks to Eun-yeong’s performance, it ended faster than expected.”

“aha···”

I nodded.

I already heard and knew that Choi Eun-yeong’s strength had risen significantly compared to before.

Well, since I was the one who supplemented her summons, there was no way she wouldn’t know.

He told me not only summons with high combat power, but also some summons with good tracking ability, so it must have been of considerable help in the tracking process.

In response, Eunyoung Choi shook her head from side to side.

“I, it wasn’t me… that, Inspector Kang…”

“Yeah, I heard that too. I heard Inspector Kang helped Eun-yeong a lot? Besides, this incident was soon over.”

“Have you heard?”

“huh. I heard there was a call from the court in the morning. That’s because they’re the ones who don’t sleep in the morning.”

“I also sent the report by e-mail a while ago. Let’s have a cup of coffee and see.”

I handed Seo In-na the coffee I prepared in advance.

Then she accepted it with a gleeful face.

“Hey, did you buy it knowing we were coming? Thank you, I’ll have a good drink.”

“I just did it just in case. Now, this belongs to Police Officer Choi.”

“Ah, go, thank you…”

Choi Eun-young received the coffee with trembling hands.
