The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

“·······”

I listened to Seo In-na’s story and looked at the reward of the quest.

Be the hero’s guide

It wasn’t a very welcome skill.

Simply put, this is a skill that helps my teammates grow.

It goes beyond simply accelerating growth.

A great skill that can raise the upper limit of a comrade’s potential and thereby open up new possibilities for humans.

For example, even an ordinary swordsman who could not reach the level of a sword master even if he worked hard all his life, could become a sword master if he became an ally of a hero and received the assistance of this skill.

It’s a skill that fits the story of a common warrior, who grows into a hero by the end of the story just by selecting a passing bandit and putting him in the party.

So if you ask me if it’s good, it was of course a good skill.

All of my colleagues who worked hard using this skill were all bastards, so the problem was that I killed them all in the end.

“More than that…”

I closed the quest window and looked at Seo In-na again.

I don’t know who will receive this skill and use it against.

The important thing now was to solve the case.

So I decided to put the thought of compensation aside for a while.

“Where did you witness that immortality?”

“Inspector Kang, the case that caught the werewolf last time. remember?”

“Sure.”

It wasn’t that long ago, so I nodded.

Wasn’t it a friend I was grateful for who upgraded my weapon?

“Is there a group of demons trying to take him? This Mae Mang-ryang was found in their hideout.”

“Why was it there?”

“It looks like this maemanyang has been attacking the demons lately.”

It was another unexpected move.

A monster attacking Mine.

“Why is he doing that?”

“It’s because of the nature of this mae mang-ryang. Lee Mae Mang-ryang grows while absorbing similar resentments. But at the same time, they are also affected by the resentment they so absorbed. In other words, the grudge engraved on him has changed over time.”

Lee Mae Mang-ryang’s resentment against the family of the founder was the root, but after leaving the island, he could not find the exact same resentment.

So, it was a story that he took on a grudge against demons similar to him and changed into Im Mae Mang-ryang, who hated not only the head family but all demons.

“Did he just show up after 7 years? During that period, he absorbed resentment, and since the contents of the grudge that became the mother of the mother changed, he only started his activities now. So I can’t leave it alone. Right now, we are conveniently only attacking the demons, but no one knows how long that will last.”

I nodded.

I barely understood what had happened.

“Then where are you?”

“The last sighting was Yeoncheon. It is estimated that Mae Mang-Ryang Lee settled down on the site of an abandoned military base.”

It’s an abandoned military base.

Is it because it’s a monster?

I had crawled into a gloomy place.

“And since Lee Mae Mang-ryang only appears at night, don’t approach the military base until then. If there is an exorcist, there is a possibility that they will escape again.”

“All right.”

“And be careful. I won’t be complacent The Organized Crime Investigation Team has already tried to exorcise, but it failed once and came over to us.”

The story ended with Seo In-na’s warning.

After gathering information about Lee Mae Mang-ryang, I looked at Choi Eun-young.

“Then let’s get ready to go.”

“···yes.”

Then she nodded her head with a more withdrawn face than usual.

It’s related to him… no, maybe it’s because it’s a monster he created.

Choi Eun-young’s expression was not bright.

and after a few hours.

“Whoa…”

As I climbed the rough mountain path, I let out a sigh.

I didn’t have the stamina to get tired from hiking this much, but… what should I say?

Another problem was that it was a mountain.

Today, he climbs a roadless slope, walks through bushes, and walks past countless insects.

Do monsters and spirits especially like mountains?

I don’t know if it’s just because 70% of the Korean peninsula is made up of mountains, but after getting a job as a police officer, I think I’ve been in the mountains more often than in the city.

At least it would have been nice if it was a place with roads.

Even after moving to the car, I had to walk for several hours to find my destination, which naturally reminded me of my time in the army.

It was strange.

There are many times when I have been to the mountains in another world.

Why do memories of the military come first?

Is it because there, in a sense, is a different world isolated from reality?

“Is this it?”

Arriving at my destination, I looked around.

It was a ridge overlooking the site of an abandoned military base.

The distance to the destination is close, and there is only a shallow pool below, so the view is also wide open.

the sky is still bright

The sun was tilting toward the west, and the sunset was setting, but the sunset was still there.

You can stay here until the sun goes down, then go down to the site of the military base.

For reference, the arrow in the quest also pointed to this staging area, not the military base.

This is because it is said that it can only be observed at night.

It meant that even if I went to the military base right now, I couldn’t exorcise him.

So I looked for a place to sit nearby,

“Police Choi, are you okay?”

I asked Choi Eun-young who was next to me.

When she got here, she barely opened her mouth.

He only answered my questions, and his thoughts seemed complicated while driving.

Yes, Choi Eun-young wasn’t originally a talkative person, but she wasn’t this quiet either.

“···yes.”

“You don’t look okay.”

“that is···”

Her gaze turned to me.

The gaze, which slowly rose from my toes, could not meet my eyes and stopped near my chest.

And slowly her mouth opened.

“Aren’t you in a bad mood?”

Looking at me, Choi Eun-young said.

But I couldn’t understand the context of the words at all.

“what?”

“That…that you heard about a moment ago, my past…”

I finally understood Choi Eun-young’s intentions at the small voice that continued sparsely.

So Choi Eun-yeong must have thought that I would avoid her because of the crime she had committed.

But for me it was nothing.

I am the one who ate the whole world, but who will avoid whom?

“Wow, what a big deal it was to kill a few family members.”

As I spat out the words, embarrassment spread across Choi Eun-young’s face.

Well, anyway, this isn’t a bit.

So I carefully corrected my words.

“No, they were all demons anyway. Bad guys must die.”

“·······”

“Then Police Officer Choi regrets what happened?”

“That’s not…”

Choi Eun-young said firmly.

“I think it is right that such an island disappears. My family also… had to pay for their sins.”

“however?”

“Still, somehow, I feel guilty. Did I really have to kill them all…”

At her words, I shook my head.

If nothing else, in my experience it was a must.

“That’s not right. Once an asshole, always an as*hole. I had to save that kind of thing, but later it would only hurt me.”

“But…my parents were among them.”

“Originally, all bastards are someone’s parents and children. I would rather be blessed to die at the hands of my children.”

It was an immoral statement indeed, but it was my sincerity.

I have killed children in front of their parents, and I have killed even the parents who jump into the anger and sadness with my own hands.

The death of such parents was always the same.

Those faces that curse me until the end and search after them are all like demons.

Rather, the face of the dead man stabbed by his own child’s hand looked rather comfortable.

Then Choi Eun-young looked at me blankly and opened her mouth.

“Inspector Kang… you say things like that casually.”

“Are you craving it?”

“No, that’s not like that. I just wanted to be happy…”

I’m just happy to say

While I let out a laugh, Choi Eun-young continued.

“In fact, today’s incident… the team leader was going to come with me. But I said I would go with Inspector Kang.”

“why?”

“I owed a lot to the team leader. It was the team leader who saved me from the island 7 years ago. And the fact that you didn’t let me become a Mine. So… I couldn’t leave this job up to…”

There was such a relationship.

From nob le mt l. com

Just carry on with that relationship.

Then I wouldn’t have come all this way to catch a ghost in the military base.

“After talking with Inspector Kang… I think I did well.”

“I see.”

It seemed like there was a story behind it, but from my point of view, it felt like I was just dealing with a tricky case.

So I let out a big sigh, and Choi Eun-young killed time next to me with a more comfortable expression.

and after a while

The sun finally set.

Dense darkness quickly covered the mountains.

The sky, which had been dyed orange, turned black, and the stars and the moon appeared.

And in that darkness

“Ooh oh oh-”

The long-awaited Lee Mae Mang-ryang finally appeared.

It was a whirlpool.

Because of this, I was still a bit far from the military base, but I could clearly see it.

It seems that a company-level military unit stayed there.

A swarm of anima was wrapped around it all.

The wind that blows there is beyond dreary and creepy.

It’s to the point where you feel as if the air itself holds a grudge.

Numerous screams echoed in all directions, and all kinds of strange phenomena shook the quiet mountain.

“That’s…”

Seeing her in person, Seo In-na’s advice was understandable.

He was never a weak enemy.

That’s why he drank the whole small group of demons and forced the exorcism police to back down.

“·······”

On the other hand, Choi Eun-yeong’s eyes trembled infinitely as she looked at such a mang-ryang.

It wasn’t just fear that was in it.

Rather, the deeply permeated emotions are deep sadness and pity.

It was not difficult for me to understand the reason for that feeling.

The roots of the resentment that raged as a part of that Mae Mang-ryang belonged to the people who were sacrificed on Iri Island.

Perhaps, for her, this meeting was no different from a reunion with a friend who had been killed before.

“Let’s start.”

At my words, Choi Eun-young came to her senses and summoned a summoned beast.

She chose Salamander.

It was the first summoning number I told you about.

The reason why she chose Salamander now is because of the characteristics of Lee Mae-mang-ryang.

As you can see, Lee Mae-mang-ryang is both a spirit and a monster, and at the same time it is driven like a natural phenomenon that embraces it.

That’s why even if it’s an attack with spiritual power, it’s hard to damage him with a simple physical attack.

Therefore, even if a Minotaur was much stronger than a Salamander, an axe-wielding bull-headed monster would not mean much.

“Is this… impossible?”

Choi Eun-young muttered in a voice lacking confidence.

It was as she said.

Fire, not physical attacks, was effective, but the power itself of the Salamander was not very strong.

So Choi Eun-young’s strength alone won’t be able to defeat Lee Mae-mang-ryang.

however.

Would Seo In-na send me with her for no reason?

“That’s enough.”

Although Lee Mae-mang-ryang had such a difficult character, he was not a difficult opponent for me.

It’s the same as when Cha Seo-hyun’s possession was released in a school-like magic station.

Whatever the case may be, there is no way to prevent the additional spirit damage from the ＜Sword of Light＞ skill and divine power that I have on Lee Mae Mang-ryang, who has the characteristics of a spirit.

Furthermore, now that the divinity level has been added due to the effect of Arhat.

My sword was sure to cut through even his typhoon.

“Then let’s go.”

I drew my sword and went down to the military base.

The sword shines bright and bites the darkness.

Then Li Mae Mang-ryang immediately recognized me, and directed his screams and grudge toward me.

“aaa!”

“uuu!”

Numerous spirits flew in like a gust of wind.

Waves of black spiritual bodies blocking my way pile up in several layers.

It was so dense that it was impossible to see beyond just how many spirits and resentment he had absorbed over the past seven years.

but.

A single sword strike was enough to dismantle the rolling waves of spirits.

“-!”

The air is cut, and a diagonal line of light cuts through the black sea.

“Kiaaa!”

Then, the screams of resentment disappeared in agony.

The black waves that were rolling in receded as if they had been swept away by a bigger tidal wave.

The spirits that tried to devour me from above and below dispersed like smoke.

I didn’t even feel like cutting something in my hand, but the effect was certain.

Even the chilling wind that had been blowing had stopped.

And Choi Eun-young’s salamander next to me spewed out flames belatedly.

OK,

“That’s…”

The whirlpool of spirits, the main body of Im Mae Mang-ryang, who was staying at the center of it, came into sight.

A woman looking at me with red eyes.

That is the eye of the typhoon that commands countless spirits, and the ghost of Lee Mae-mang-ryang, who was bound by Choi Eun-young.

I straightened my sword and ran to the main body.
