The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

95.

“hmm… ”

Surprisingly, the appearance of the nameless sword after production did not change significantly.

I thought the sword would have a wolf head stuck in all directions.

Now that I look at it, the handle has become a bit fancy, and all that is left is a wolf-shaped picture engraved on the lower part of the blade.

So what about your abilities?

I immediately opened the item description window.

Ingeom series

“This… ”

Without the effects of attributes, the attack power and abilities that increase by default are about twice that of Star Cloud Sword.

It’s a good level, but it couldn’t be seen as overwhelming other weapons here.

Also, the overall number of options and skills were smaller than expected.

I don’t know if it’s an Epic grade weapon, but it’s a Legendary grade, but compared to Monica’s spear, it was less than half.

However, the reason could be understood by looking at the characteristics of the weapon.

“Growth… is it.”

I muttered that when I read the characteristics of being a monster.

The name Ingeom must have been taken from Saingeom, an incantation tool from the Joseon Dynasty.

The character for In there is In, which means the tiger of the 12 zodiac.

It is said that it is called a signature sword because it is made of people, people, months, people, people, and people.

However, the factor of a monster person clearly meant a seal.

Is it some kind of pun?

“… … ”

Anyway, the characteristic of the monster was to absorb the power of a specific monster.

Seeing that it’s a specific monster, it doesn’t seem like it’s catching and absorbing any monster.

then… Is it only for some kind of boss level monster?

It was also very likely.

The proof was the now absorbed lycanthrope.

All the demons that went into making the sword were what the first werewolf said.

The power they possessed must be the source of the monstrous werewolf.

“and… ”

On the other hand, the unique skills obtained by absorbing the lycanthrope’s claws were very good.

The person who cut off immortality is an upward compatible skill with a wound effect that prevents the existing regeneration, and is a morale skill that ignores the enemy’s related characteristics.

Originally, those who have the power of immortality often believe in it and extend it.

It meant that if you did that in front of this sword, you couldn’t even pick a bone.

The monster hunter and the king of wolves that appeared next were moderately good, at least decent skills.

But the two skills below.

The ruler of the full moon night and the lycanthrope were saving face for the legendary item.

“This is fun.”

I muttered while looking at the full moon skill.

Immune to all attacks on a full moon night.

Isn’t it a virtually invincible skill?

If you simply calculate it, it’s once a month, so it’s a bit difficult to intentionally match the date.

If I can create that opportunity, I won’t be able to compete with a formidable enemy.

And then.

Lycanthrope is an active skill that transforms you into a werewolf, and for me, who can ignore the berserk debuff, it was just a skill that boosted my stats.

Of course, considering the fact that it consumes a lot of spiritual power and changes like a werewolf, you should use it with caution.

“… It’s fine.”

Indeed, it was a weapon with excellent potential for development, befitting its legendary rank.

It’s good to use right away thanks to absorbing lycanthrope.

It had the characteristics of a monster, so it was a weapon that became stronger the more powerful monsters were killed.

“Then let’s do this.”

I made that decision and took the sword.

And when I looked at Yuna Jin, she was staring at me with her eyes wide open.

“why?”

“I’m excited now… did you make it?”

Yuna Jin, who watched my production process, asked that.

But I shook my head.

“It was not made. It was strengthened a little by using demons.”

I handed her the Ingeom, which was a nameless sword, and deliberately said casually.

Hwarang has something to receive, so it would be better to show off my abilities.

In response, she carefully received the sword with a puzzled expression.

“Rather than that, when can I get this?”

“We will hand it over to the National Police Agency right now.”

I nodded.

Ingeom’s stats, excluding the attributes, are slightly stronger than normal Epic-grade weapons.

Anyway, only I can read the characteristics, so with a weapon like that, the police won’t really argue.

“Then let’s go back.”

Thinking so, I decided to go home right away.

I’m going to work from tomorrow.

Half of Sunday was already gone.

In response, Yuna Jin cleared her expression and lowered her head.

“yes. I will see you.”

* * *

a week after that.

Ingeom returned to me safely.

“You get it again.”

Team leader Seo In-na muttered that as she received a sword from the National Police Agency and handed it over to me.

There was envy in her gaze as she said that.

“Well, I’m giving it to you, but I have to take it.”

Seo In-na already knew why I was given the Ingeom.

All cases involving Sabrina had been reported to the police except for the smuggling case.

However, Seo In-na’s words continued.

“Didn’t you say it went into the gallery’s storage? Wasn’t there a crossbow there?”

“Did you have any? It looks like there are about 100 of them.”

“100? Even if I scrape together everything in the police, it won’t be enough. After all, large corporations have a lot of money… ”

Seo In-na clicked her tongue.

But when it comes to Seo In-na… You don’t have to envy me so much.

“By the way, if the team leader puts his mind to it, can’t he find a decent instrument? The police must have stocks besides supplies.”

So I asked.

In the police, the sacred weapons distributed to the team leader level are usually rare.

And it’s not common if it’s a level above Epic.

However, it was not to the extent that a leading member of the police organization, the size of Seo In-na, could not even touch it.

It was to the extent that even Epic items in poor condition were abandoned in the warehouse of the company or even in the training center’s warehouse.

However, Seo In-na’s expression softened slightly at my question.

“That’s right… ”

“Ah, I don’t give it to the team leader anymore. can you give Did you break and eat all that much?”

“What, dude?”

At that time, Seo In-na glared at Han Sung-min who intervened from the side.

However, despite Seo In-na’s threat, Han Sung-min did not stop talking.

“Isn’t it right? You’ve done four or five of the things I saw.”

“… … ”

Looking at it roughly, Seo In-na had already received some good sacred things, but it seemed that she had destroyed all of them.

It didn’t sound like a stranger to me, who had recently been chewed up by a knife.

“Does Shinki break easily?”

“Not usually. But isn’t that my fault? Didn’t you say you walked through a battlefield that was so dangerous that you lost your confidence?”

“That’s right.”

“Yes, yes. As expected, Inspector Kang knows it well.”

Seo In-na nodded broadly at my reply.

but right after that.

“So I prepared.”

The flow of conversation drastically changed with an ominous smile.

I slightly frowned at the sudden change of topic.

“… What?”

“It’s not just Shingi that I’ve received from the headquarters. You’ve been given a good weapon, so shouldn’t you use it well?”

Saying that, Seo In-na handed me a file.

It was a common case file, but Seo In-na’s words were different from usual.

“Did I tell you before? business trip. The first destination has been decided.”

It’s an overseas business trip.

And Bonnie, I heard that.

“Where are you?”

“It’s Cambodia’s Angkor Wat.”

“Cambodia?”

“Yes, it is a famous tourist destination. Inspector Kang would be nice, but I’ll go and see them all.”

I took out my new smart phone and searched for Cambodia.

It is now December in Korea, and sub-zero winds are blowing.

Cambodia in Southeast Asia is now over 30 degrees.

At least I should consider going in the winter.

“Isn’t Angkor Wat the temple?”

Han Seong-min, who was next to him, asked.

I’d heard the name often, but I wasn’t particularly interested in it.

It must have been a site made of stone, often seen in movies or games.

“Yes, a recent incident occurred there. Check the file.”

As she said, I opened the file.

Then Seo In-na’s explanation continued naturally.

“A monster was found at Angkor Wat. It seems that there have already been quite a few victims. The place where the monster appeared is the lake of Angkor Wat. Of course, the lake inside the ruins is small. So, the lake was also searched locally, but nothing was found. Perhaps the monster possesses some kind of spatial ability.”

I looked through the files and listened to Seo In-na.

Investigations in the field were going through difficulties.

There are currently few exorcists in Cambodia, making it difficult to find them.

All in all, it was because the monster had appeared in a historic site with a lot of tourists, which was interfering with the secret of the exorcism.

Local exorcists are still desperately blocking this, but they felt the limit and asked for help from the international community.

The Korean government accepted it and it came to me.

“The identity of the monster is still unclear. But local eyewitnesses claim to have seen the naga.”

get out.

It was a race of Indian mythology, half-human, half-snake.

Those who are more familiar to me by the name of Lamia.

But there, Seo In-na started saying something that was not written in the file.

“By the way. I don’t really think this is out.”

“Why?”

“Cambodia is a cultural zone where Buddhist and Hindu cultures are mixed with indigenous cultures. But among them, the Naga is particularly closely related. Cambodia’s founding myth itself is a Naga myth.”

Seo In-na briefly explained the founding myth of Cambodia.

As Seo In-na said, the existence of Naga appeared from the beginning of the myth.

Queen Soma was the daughter of Nagaraja, the king of the Nagas, and ruled the seas of Cambodia.

A young man who received a revelation from God arrived there, and Queen Soma fought a battle with the young man.

In the end, he surrendered after being hit by a shrine shot by a young man.

However, the young man did not kill Queen Soma and covered her wounds by taking off her clothes.

Falling in love with him, Queen Soma falls for the young man and they marry.

In response, Nagaraja, the dragon king, blessed it, drank the surrounding water, and lifted the land, which is now Cambodia.

“Considering this myth. Isn’t it strange that the mysterious person in this case asked me to leave?”

It was immediately clear what Seo In-na’s question meant.

The existence of Naga reflected in Cambodia’s founding myth was clearly different in its weight and role from Naga in other myths.

“In Cambodia… Naga is not a monster.”

At my words, Seo In-na nodded.

“that’s right. In Cambodia, naga are rather sacred beings, to the extent that they call themselves children of naga. If it’s high, you should call it a being with a divine personality, or a spiritual creature no matter how ordinary it is. However, it is obviously strange that such a naga suddenly turns into a monster and kills people. So, on the contrary, it should be interpreted that some kind of monster has changed under the influence of Naga mythology.”

indeed.

I agreed with Seo In-na, and the explanation continued for a while after that.

And only after I was handed over the reference materials on Cambodia, I moved on to the next question.

“So when can we leave?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

It was also sudden.

But where is not tomorrow?

“Then who should I go with?”

“Why did I have to explain to you next to him?”

Seo In-na pointed to Han Sung-min, who was still standing next to her, and said.

Then Sungmin Han smiled.

“Hey, I’ve taken all the planes with my own money.”

Han Seong-min seemed to be in a good mood, probably because he wanted to go abroad.

“Is it that good? It wouldn’t be something you would like.”

Then, Seo In-na gave a rather ominous voice.

“… … ”

Choi Eun-young, who was sitting in her seat behind Han Sung-min, sent a cold, jealous look without saying anything.

However, Han Sung-min continued talking without knowing that fact.

“Ah, even if it’s hard, wouldn’t it be better to do it there than to do it here?”

“okay? If you think so, maybe it is. Oh, and there will be one more person on the business trip.”

“One more?”

“You guys don’t even know how to speak the language. It acts as a kind of guide. Even if you just kill the monster when it appears, shouldn’t you be unable to book a lodging?”

In my heart, I wondered if I should bring another team member, but hearing the words that followed, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

be a guide

Well, it was absolutely necessary. The only foreign language I knew was a few English words.

“Is he also a member of the police force?”

“Yes, business traveler management is the main job. It’s the same exorcist again, so don’t worry.”

The story of the business trip ended there.

and two days later.

“Ooh, sleepy.”

I had to get out of the house early in the morning and head to Incheon Airport.

It was because the flight was scheduled for the morning, so I had to hurry.

And when I arrived at the airport, I saw Han Sung-min’s face.

“Uh, here!”

“Did you come soon?”

“I always come early.”

Unlike me who was sleepy, he was quite lively.

Do you think of it as your first overseas trip?

Of course, it was my first time going abroad.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been to other worlds, so I wasn’t expecting that much.

So, I joined Han Seong-min and headed to the pre-designated meeting place.

Under the sign with the big letter H.

There was a woman in a police uniform.

Are you in your early 30s?

A cheerful woman with shoulder-length brown hair.

She immediately looked at us and bowed her head.

“hello! Inspector Kang, are you Constable Han?”
