The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

63.

That’s how I went to the hideout of Yeokcheondodang in Chiaksan Mountain with the exorcists led by Dayoung Kim and Minho Song.

Arrival time is 6pm.

The sun hadn’t set yet, but it was around the time that darkness was slowly sinking beneath the trees.

I looked at the door standing in the middle of the deep mountain in the light darkness.

It was the entrance to the station that Yeokcheon Dodang had installed.

“…it’s unusual.”

Is it because it is artificially created?

Most of the demons I’ve seen so far were naturally hidden, but this one was different.

It was like standing on a dirt floor with nothing but a door.

Moreover, its design looks like the gate of a nobleman’s house in the Joseon Dynasty.

Except for the fact that the rope is wrapped around the door, it looks like the remains of a demolished hanok.

But what does that mean? Song Mino, who came with him, narrowed his eyes.

“The door is sealed.”

“A seal?”

“That’s a gold line. In the past, it was used to restrict the entry of outsiders when a child was born, but it also has a magical meaning. In particular, it has the meaning of a barrier that protects a sanctuary such as a shrine. Hey, look at what’s tucked in between the ropes.”

As he said, between the ropes, there were crumpled leather-like things stuck one by one.

At first, I wondered what kind of rubbish they hung.

Looking closely, it was a piece of animal intestines.

“The carcass of a dead animal entwined with a gold line means plague. They put a curse on the gold chain.”

Did you use a curse to lock the door of the station?

The story that they have already noticed our movements and responded to them.

Well, contact with Han Joo-won, whom he had planted as a spy, must have been cut off, so there was nothing strange about this level of preparation.

Even so, it was a fairly quick response.

“Is it possible to do so?”

“of course. But . . . it may take time.”

“How much time do you need?”

“It should take an hour or two.”

It was not a very short time.

Besides, the enemy is already aware of our movements.

So I just couldn’t waste my time on this.

In the meantime, they’ll be able to be more defensive, and that’s why they installed the gold line.

So I drew my sword and stepped forward.

“Then I’ll just take care of it.”

“Disposal… what are you trying to do?”

Instead of explaining something, I just waved people back.

and,

“no···!”

He raised his sword and cut off the gold chain that wrapped around the door.

Then, physically, the gold rope, which was only a thin rope, was cut as it was.

Immediately, the word curse appeared on the log window.

＜The curse tied to the golden rope is activated!＞

＜The curse is nullified by the Heart of Light skill.＞

Soon, the curse was blocked by the skill and disappeared.

I canceled their barriers so easily that it was pointless, and I put my sword back.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you okay?”

Minho Song and Dayoung Kim asked.

In particular, Song Mino’s face was startled, as if I didn’t know that.

“Yeah, it’s okay. No need to worry.”

“No, what did you do? It must have been affected by the curse, right?”

“I am okay. The details are trade secrets.”

“Heh, heh heh…”

When I said that shamelessly, Song Mino laughed dejectedly.

However, he soon turned his gaze to explore the cut gold line, and nodded.

“It looks like the seal has definitely been lifted. Thanks for saving me time. Then I will open the door.”

Song Min-ho made me step back and opened the door with the other exorcists.

kiik-

The old wooden door opens with an eerie sound.

Then, I could really see the scenery of the magic station inside.

“This···”

Under the deep purple sky, we could see thatched-roofed and tile-roofed houses in the distance.

It is a sight that seems to have been pulled out of the streets of the Joseon Dynasty, not modern times.

“It’s a strange magic.”

I said that, but Song Min-ho looked like he knew that.

“It seems that the people of Yeokcheondo Party are using Mr. Heo’s vengeful spirit. The energy you feel from the station is not unusual.”

It’s a demon that uses Mr. Heo’s power.

Is that why the appearance of the horse station looks like the Joseon Dynasty, the background of Janghwa and Hongryeonjeon?

“Then I will enter. We take the lead. Inspector Kang, please follow us.”

I nodded.

Naturally, in this case, fighting was basically their job.

What they asked me to do was to find the sacred spirits that imprisoned the evil spirits.

We entered the magic station as it is.

There was nothing at the beginning of the magic station.

As if this was the entrance to the village, only a broken Jeongseung stood there sadly.

“·······”

There, the exorcists advanced slowly, each holding their own weapon, with tense expressions on their faces.

There were some interesting weapons as well as common cold weapons such as common knives and spears.

One of them is a bell in Song Min-ho’s hand.

It had seven bells attached to the end of a stick slightly longer than the dagger.

As I walked through the stables, I asked Dayoung Kim next to me.

“How do you use that bell?”

“A drop? Ah, Minho Song majored in classical magic. It’s a tool used in witchcraft. They say it’s a seven-star bell.”

It’s a seven-star drop.

I don’t know what it is, but it must be something like a magician’s staff.

I nodded appropriately and this time pointed to the least weapon-like weapon among the exorcists’ weapons.

“Then what is that?”

it was a camera

One of the exorcists from the Punishment Committee had a camera in his hand.

He has a bow on his back, so why not call it a camera?

Are you a journalist?

However, despite the heterogeneous scenery, Dayoung Kim answered casually.

“That must be something from the research building. Sometimes I ask for a real test.”

It’s a research building.

And Bonnie said that LB Academy is bringing science to exorcism.

“Then that must be a camera that takes pictures of horses, something like that?”

“It already exists. It was developed quite a while ago. Maybe it’s all supplied where you need it? Rather, it spreads so much that it often ends up in the hands of ordinary people and psychic pictures are taken.”

It was the first time I heard it.

Did something like that already exist?

But then what is that?

In response, Dayoung Kim continued.

“So maybe that’s a weapon that helps in combat to some extent, like sealing a horse in a picture.”

If that’s true, it was a more practical weapon than I thought.

I’m sure it would be convenient to have.

Above all, it was great that it was a tool that did not discriminate against people.

“Then, does Dayoung write something like that too?”

“Me? It’s not like that, but…”

She picked up her smartphone out of nowhere.

Then, the picture floats on the screen of the smartphone.

It was… an amulet.

“I use this.”

“Does this work?”

“sure. I’m taking a modern witchcraft class.”

Next, Dayoung Kim’s explanation continued.

As the name suggests, LB Academy requires exorcists to take classes for a set amount of time.

In particular, classical shamanism and modern shamanism are said to be essential classes that must be taken.

In terms of university, it is like a required liberal arts course.

And classical magic is a commonly known exorcism method that uses amulets and bells.

He said that modern sorcery is an unfamiliar method that combines science with it.

“How amazing.”

“Yes? I have learned a lot from coming here.”

It was as she said.

Unlike churches and courts that pursue only one method of exorcism by religion.

LB Academy seemed to be trying a lot of ways.

It was then.

Something was detected by my spirit detection skill.

As I turned my gaze towards it, a clear level indicator slowly emerged.

And not long after, one of the exorcists, who also sensed the enemy, shouted.

“It’s an anima!”

At the same time as his voice, spirits came out from the shadow of the large tile-roofed house that was like the background of the street.

Accordingly, the exorcists prepared a battle formation at once.

“I’m here!”

Dayoung Kim, who was next to me, also reacted immediately.

The sword in her hand made a clicking sound.

Then, the sword body that had been folded in half was joined into one, and its length doubled.

In an instant, a 2-meter long sword is in Kim Da-young’s hand.

Dayoung Kim handled the sword, which was taller than her height, and took her stance.

At last, it was a look worthy of the name Attitude.

“There is even an imperial command in the cheongryeong. Quite a number.”

I said that by looking at the ghost detection and visible level indicators.

Only the number I checked was about 10.

Apart from the imperial spirit, there were only three cheongyeong.

“Iknow, right···”

Dayoung Kim’s voice trembled weakly as she answered me.

Maybe the skill hasn’t been activated yet?

There was fear in her eyes.

It still looked like a scary ghost.

But I kept talking.

“It’s probably no coincidence that these popped up. It’s probably a trap prepared by them.”

It wasn’t just for Dayoung Kim.

I wanted to tell Minho Song, who leads the exorcist, that what he sees is not everything.

Song Mino, who understood that, nodded.

The battle started right away.

“Ooooooooh!”

The terrifying sound of the ears shook the eardrums.

However, regardless of this, the exorcists with cold weapons stepped forward first.

And the moment they are about to collide with spirits.

Voila!

A clear sound of bells was heard.

It was Song Min-ho’s bell.

For a moment, the movements of the spirits stopped all at once, wondering what kind of power was hidden within them.

And the exorcists did not miss that opportunity.

Chow down!

Kwajik!

The sword and spear mercilessly cut through the spirits that had stopped moving.

They all belong to the Academy’s Punishment Committee.

Even just by looking at them, I could tell that they weren’t the ones who matched the sum once or twice.

Even so, the flash of the camera flashed for the guy who barely survived.

“Kiaaa!”

The emperor screamed.

Unexpectedly, that camera was an offensive weapon.

The spirit reflected in the flash trembled as if it had been struck by lightning, and its exterior was scorched black.

But is it because it’s for testing purposes?

It wasn’t very destructive.

No matter how many times he was struck by the flash, the emperor did not completely collapse.

Maybe that’s why the exorcist who was using the camera took out the bow he was carrying on his back.

A wooden bow.

An arrow shot from there pierced the spirit’s forehead.

“Ho-oh”

In an instant, five imperial spirits turned into smoke and disappeared.

Although the spirits are still intact, I did not feel that they were at a disadvantage.

at that time.

“It’s on this side too… Shall we fight?”

Dayoung Kim, who was next to me, raised her voice.

While I was observing the battles of the others, a spirit came to my side before I knew it.

Level 42.

Among the spirits, he belonged to the middle class, and he was a creepy-looking fellow with wrinkled green skin.

Besides, one of his arms was enlarged, and there was an ugly tong attached to it.

One arm is like a huge greatsword.

At that level… maybe Dayoung Kim alone would be able to deal with her without difficulty.

“I see. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Dayoung’s skills.”

So I said so.

As she nodded at my words, her eyes changed completely.

It was a manifestation of the Berserker skill.

Immediately, Dayoung Kim moved.

A fierce charge that approaches the target in a straight line.

And in the blink of an eye, the slash of attitude continued.

Hung!

A bloody sword light flashed along with the sound of cutting through the air.

Is the sword lighter than it looks, or is Dayoung Kim strong?

Despite the attitude, it was as fast as swinging a dagger.

“Kyaaa!”

Hearing this, Cheong-ryeong swung his claw-like arm.

A fierce confrontation in which neither of the two collided with only strength without a single skill.

Because of that, I was worried about the thin blade of the attitude.

Kakang!

Even though a harsh rupture erupted between them, there was not a single scratch on the sword.

Durability that can’t be imagined just by looking at the outside.

It meant that it was not an ordinary object, like a camera that burns that spirit.

“Kaaa!”

“aaa!”

kang! Chae Chaeng!

In the meantime, fierce attacks came and went between Kim Da-yeong and Cheong-ryeong.

Although the battle between the exorcists and anima was still going on everywhere.

The battle between Kim Da-yeong and Cheong-ryeong was loud and colorful enough to naturally catch my attention.

Dayoung Kim’s bold and bold slashing attack was hit by Cheongryeong with a huge claw.

The power contained in it was so great, it was to the extent that Dayoung Kim’s entire body, which was holding the sword, was blown backwards.

However, Dayoung Kim did not lose her balance in the air like a nimble cat.

Rather, calmly step on the ground with your legs, and at the same time, charge again.

It moves like a ball tied to a rubber band.

No matter how much the spirit tries to pull her away, it comes back and inflicts a bloody slash.

Because of this, the aspect of the battle looked like the Middle Ages at first glance.

As time went on, the gap between them widened.

“Kiyi!”

The chungryung let out such a sound at the end.

What made the difference was Dayoung Kim’s aggression.

At first, if it was aggression befitting a berserker.

Now, madness close to that of a mad dog oozes from her sword.

kang! Kakang! Caga River!

Rather than an attitude, sword strikes poured down like picking up a mace and striking it down.

Rather than attacking the main body by avoiding the claws of the Qing Spirit, the attacks were intended to destroy the Qing Spirit with the claws.

However, there was a strange gap between them.

Even though it seems that there are many opportunities to counterattack because it is obviously a constant attack.

Due to Kim Da-young’s instinctive evasion, Cheong-ryeong’s counterattack was narrowly defeated.

As a result, the tongs of Cheongryeong gradually started to crack.

Not long after, it shattered into pieces with a crackling sound.

“Kyaaa-”

The one who lost his weapon was exposed in front of Dayoung Kim’s sword.

Even with the shield in front of him, there was no way he could survive for long in front of the blade that bit and shattered the shield.

Chow!

The blue spirit was immediately cut in half by a flash of lightning and disappeared on the spot.

Indeed… It was still more like a beast than anyone else, but it was a destructive fighting style.

“after···”

When the spirit disappeared, Kim Da-yeong walked towards me with a sigh.

After the skill was released, she smiled slightly at me with a slightly tired face.

I gave her a nod to show her good work and looked around.

Before anyone knew it, the emperor was almost all sorted out.

Also, even one of the remaining two spirits is annihilated.

The other one was bound by Song Min-ho’s bell, so it didn’t look like it would last long.

At this rate…the battle will end soon.

So I carefully fixed my sword.

“·······”

I stared around.

This is a battle intended by the Yeokcheon Dodang, who must be dominating the magical realm.

Even so, the fact that they don’t show up until the battle is almost over means that this is a search battle.

Perhaps they are observing our battles and grasping our important forces.

So, if they were going to ambush after their search, now was their chance.

“-!”

Then, as expected, a red level indicator came into view.

and at the same time

A whistle of wind was heard.

I immediately raised my sword and slashed something that was flying toward Dayoung Kim.
