The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

23 – 023. The true face of the demonic sword

My weight is shaking. My saliva was dry and my heart was beating like crazy at Marianne’s intimidation.

Every time I saw her, the ‘nocturnal intuition’ within me sounded a siren.

They said that it was dangerous, that it was a being with a different track, and recommended a quick escape.

“Saint? Are you Saint Marianne?”

Meanwhile, Marianne, who killed the remaining enemies, did not say anything.

Just turn your back to me and look up at the World Tree.

It was like an absolute master looking ahead at his own level.

‘Am I not paying attention?’

It was time to think that way. Before I could react, Marianne’s eyes turned to mine.

A gaze penetrating my body. It felt like digging deep inside and exploring the whole body.

I didn’t feel good because it seemed like they were trying to gauge my skills.

“It doesn’t seem like the Saint Marianne I know.”

“… … .”

Grabbing the handle of the Prach stuck in the floor, I pulled it out.

Then, Marianne, who had been watching until now, clenched her fists and took a posture.

Are you saying there’s no need for two strong under the world tree?

“You’ve really given me a hard job.”

It was only now that I understood what Marianne had left at the last moment.

To ask for oneself meant to stop oneself.

It’s a force you can’t control.

“… … It’s f*cking scary.”

Marianne’s body was still slim and beautiful.

However, I felt it when I saw the body that was firmly held in the muscles.

That’s an actual compression type muscle.

If the other elves had a large container properly filled, she filled a small container with the contents until it exploded.

I could tell which one was heavier and stronger without any explanation.

[That elf b*tch, you have the Earth Mother.]

‘Then you’re a demigod?’

[no. Seeing how he can’t control himself, it can be seen as one level below that. In a word, it’s salty.]

‘The accent is kind of like that.’

[Even so, don’t be careless. Not only does it not change that she has received some of the power of the gods, and she is the Earth Mother, not anyone else.]

I nodded quietly.

The story of the Earth Mother was also occasionally mentioned in Adok Choi.

It was known as the god worshiped by the elves and the god who gave birth to Yggdrasil, the world tree.

As the name suggests, she was like a mother who governs all lands and embraces living creatures tenderly.

Ironically, he was also the god of martial arts.

There are different gods of martial arts in the world, but it is said that the Earth Mother is on a higher level when it comes to fists.

Do you think it’s because you’ve dealt with the faults of your beloved husband and children with the fist of love? … .

In any case, he was an opponent who should never be underestimated in combat.

[come!]

“Keugh… !”

Quaang-!

Marianne came right in front of her in one step. He lifted Prach up and blocked her fist.

However, the force contained in the single shot was as strong as the impact of swinging the log, and it was pushed all the way back.

As his posture was disturbed, he became defenseless at once. Marianne’s fist that came in next had to flow with the sword.

He wrapped his wrist gently with the blade and deflected its trajectory. A fist passed over my shoulder cut through the air and smashed all the furniture.

My hamstrings tingled when I imagined when I was hit with a straight fist.

Isn’t it too much that one punch is an instant kill?

‘Prach, I need to borrow your strength. I think it’s impossible at my current level.’

[Damn it!]

A strange cheer came from the sentence that flowed into my head.

In the meantime, I haven’t met an opponent who has to use a magic sword, but this time the situation is different.

Even if it was Bern, it couldn’t defeat an opponent with the power of a god.

The only way to win was to close the gap with the power of the magic sword.

[Contractor, what ability do you want this body to show?]

‘Because I’m busy right now! Calculate the cost and deliver the abilities to be unlocked!’

[i get it!]

dodge or shed or miss, etc. He was coping with Marianne’s fist in various ways.

In the current situation where sweat is dripping from my forehead like rain, if I even worry about it, it seems that my brain will be overloaded.

So, I decided to leave the matter of the ability to Prach.

[Contractor, this body has devised a perfect victory plan!]

‘Please explain as concisely as possible.’

[Whoops… ! Don’t be surprised when you hear it!]

Borrowing the power of ‘nocturnal intuition’, one personality focused on fighting.

The other looked at the plan Prach was writing.

Certainly, the magic sword’s plan was reasonable and not bad.

Personally, I thought it was the best number in the current situation.

‘Good. But do you think you won’t get paid for using this much power?’

[of course! This time, I plan to formally receive payment from the contractor.]

‘But why is it not specified in the plan?’

[That’s a secret!]

‘Write it down! Whether you start planning or not, you need to know what you will receive!’

[hate! I can’t tell you!]

At an important moment, the demonic sword Prach is suddenly using a group.

Is it a ulterior motive to betray me under the pretext of a price?

Having such doubts was impossible due to the contract I had written the other day.

Because I wrote a provision to limit the payment based on ability to a whopping 10%.

[Wouldn’t it be better to start early when you have more energy?]

‘Ah! Just ask for something strange!’

My heart went cold at the fist that tore my skin and brushed my cheek.

There was no more time to linger. If you keep looking at it, you will look like a humble person in the world before that.

I reluctantly accepted the plan.

[Whoops, it’s a wise choice! Then, let’s go rampage, Contractor!]

The runes engraved on Prach’s body began to glow, and a red aura slowly came out.

A red aura that flows through my body and spreads throughout my body.

I didn’t feel particularly negative or objectionable. Rather, should I say that my body, which had been rigid until now, has become much lighter?

[Coming from the right!]

‘Even if I don’t speak, I can see myself now!’

A hook that comes in long, like a hook.

Previously, it was difficult to follow with the eyes, but now I was able to react leisurely.

It was the result of temporarily gaining abilities called ‘nerve stimulation’ and ‘blood flow acceleration’.

Quaang-! Quaang-!

A shockwave created by clashing swords and fists.

From nob le mt l. co m

Now, even if you block your fists head-on, you won’t back down. Furthermore, she carved a small wound on her fist.

don’t get pushed That fact alone seemed like a win.

[It seems that the other side, knowing that the match has been made, is also trying to get a trump card.]

‘It’s bothering me.’

Marianne took about five steps back and stepped forward.

As the floor caved in noticeably, one could expect a crushing blow to come from her.

[Let’s take it out too.]

‘okay.’

Correspondingly, I grabbed the Prach with both hands and raised it so that it overlapped with my body.

Body and sword unification, the realm of becoming one with the body and body, where I become the sword and the sword becomes me.

It was the first step the prosecutor had to take to reach the extreme.

From the beginning, Bern was on the verge of reaching this level, but his realization was somewhat lacking.

However, it was only through the contract and communication with Prach that it was possible to achieve the unification of the new sword.

[Oops! The feeling of becoming one with the contractor was thrilling!]

‘Didn’t your concentration break because of you? Take responsibility.’

[Whoops, no need to worry! Because the contractor and I have already become one!]

The red energy that enveloped my body was sucked back into the sword.

Eventually, the united aura began to turn black.

Swordsmanship was created that could only be used by swordsmen who achieved the unification of new swords.

[The power came from this body, but it’s up to you whether or not to wield it.]

‘I know.’

[Then I’ll be watching the contractor’s first rise. Appeal your existence to the world to your heart’s content!]

The sword energy of black light was stably united, and at the same time, the energy of the earth mother was also captured beautifully.

A confrontation between strength and power. A fight was established in which neither side could back down.

“Oohhh!!”

With a wild roar, I thrust my sword forward.

Hoping that the current blow would reach the sky, he poured all his strength into his arms.

Correspondingly, Marianne also swung her legs that cut the ground.

Beep-!

The roar created by the collision of the two forces could not withstand the eardrums.

Only the noise that bothered my nerves lingered in my ears, creating only a pure white sight.

I put strength into my arm that became one with the sword and pushed forward little by little.

Trusting me, trusting Bern, trusting Prach, I wielded the sword.

I will not back down no matter what the outcome may be at the end of the clash.

He bit his teeth tightly and cut the only line he could see.

[Now!]

Parching-!

It may feel futile, but the result of the collision ended in offset.

But the most important starting point was from now.

As I had initially planned, I ran forward and stretched out my arms toward Marianne’s belly.

“The Great Absorption Method… !”

A needle made of qi was inserted into the soft skin.

To gnaw away the power of the Earth Mother covering Marianne’s body.

“Keugh!”

[Hold on! It will be difficult to receive power that does not belong to you, but if you can persevere, you will be able to reach a higher level!]

Blood vessels all over the body protruded over the skin, rejecting the power of the Earth Mother.

Even so, I forced myself to hold it in and vomited blood.

If you give up in the middle, the main flower initiation will come. If I continue to do it, and if I quit it, I will choose the former.

[contractor!]

“Aagh!”

It wasn’t just my body that showed resistance to the Great Law of Absorption.

Coming out of shock, Marianne grabbed my left arm with both hands.

On the contrary, he twisted his arm, revealing his will to interfere with my work.

“Turn it off… !”

[Kyaheung?!]

Knock!

I put Frach in my mouth and even the hand holding the sword made contact with Marianne.

If your arm can’t handle it before absorbing all of the Earth Mother’s power, you can do it with the other arm.

[oh… ! Ahhh… ! Whoa, the contractor?! Suddenly biting this body… !]

‘It can’t be helped! If I fall with you, I won’t be able to use the Great Absorption Method!’

[Yeah, that’s why biting your mouth like that… … ! Wow!]

‘You bear it too!’

[Ugh… !]

The energy of the Earth Mother coming straight through.

My heart was beating like it was about to explode, and the muscles throughout my body showed signs of bursting.

Even so, he did not let go of Marianne’s hand until the end.

“Kheueup!!”

Eventually, his left arm was torn off by Marianne.

Does not matter. I was about to give up my left arm in the previous fight anyway.

I gave up with the mindset of giving something, but I had to defend my right arm.

‘Prah! Can’t we generate more output from the Absorption Great Law?’

[What, what? Are you asking me to make it a little more intense here?!]

‘I do not have time!’

[It’s possible, but if you do, this body and you… !]

‘Because I’ll take responsibility! Increase the output!’

[Ah, I see!]

The sucking speed doubled.

Blood vessels now swelled up as if they were going to break through the skin.

The pain is twice as much as before. and… … .

[Yes!]

For some reason, Prach’s trembling intensified twice as much.

By the time I was about to lose my mind, the sentence of the magic sword that came to my mind returned to my mind.

It was a very naughty feeling.

‘This is the end!!’

[Yes… ! hehehe… ! Whoa!!]

As soon as I sucked in the energy of the Earth Mother within Marianne, I lay down on the floor.

“Ugh!”

My whole body ached. Muscles screamed, and bones clamored as if they would break at any moment.

Her body was creaking here and there to accept the energy of the Earth Mother.

Each time, his nerves complained of pain and wrinkles formed between his eyebrows.

‘How did it go… … .’

Marianne, who had been deprived of about 30% of her strength by me, had returned to her original state, unconscious.

It was just as Prach had promised beforehand that even if he took away part of his power, he could release the spirit.

Accepting all of the Earth Mother’s power with a human body is itself absurd.

Absorption Great Law would have been impossible without Prach’s help.

It was as if he owed Prach more than he could express his gratitude.

only… … .

[ha! ha! Daedaaneet… … !]

I don’t know how to accept the point that gave me an extreme sage time.

Why do you feel like you’re filming a different genre when other people are filming battles?
