Chapter 497: It’s Darkening! (3)

‘I’m glad that the fight will now be easier.’

It was true that I was worried

This was because I had not been able to grasp the information on the newly acquired class properly.

As a class given by Belial, a privilege at semi-mythic grade, I understood that it had the power to exceed that of the Alchemist of Light, but it was still difficult to do anything because of my low skill level.

Honestly, I hadn’t been able to check everything of what kind of spells I could chant.

In this state, it could be said that there was a certain risk to face the State’s main unit. However, the reaction of the people I was targeting eased my anxiety.

Jung Hayan was in a situation where she had lost her combat ability due to her previous teleportation magic, and Kim Hyunsung, who had lost all his will to fight, was being forcibly dragged by Cho Hyejin.

‘I could really wipe out…’

If this wasn’t a staged play, they would have all gotten wiped out.

‘If Cha Hee-ra hadn’t been alert, it would have been a real trouble.’

As I looked forward, it was visible that the main unit’s front lines were blocking the road with shields.

‘Exactly according to the manual.’

It was the standard for a retreat manual to evacuate first the priests and wizards in the rear.

The buffs of priests and wizards were falling intensively on solid avant-garde.

The vanguards who temporarily showed their power to surpass their limits were enough to withstand the corps bombing. Park Deokgu also maintained the line with his lips tightly closed, making a place for others to escape.

His mouth and legs were shaking, showing just how tense he was.

He was trying to shield the demons that were rushing and somehow try to get melee damage dealers inside the main unit, but that couldn’t work out as well as he thought.

“H-Hold on! Quickly go inside, go inside. Follow the manual! Follow the manual!”

-Grrrrrrr!

“Divine power! Give us more divine power!”

-Grrooooooaaarr!

“Be careful not to be buried within the troops. Be careful not to get swept away! Follow the Rangers of the Black Swan! Pay special attention to the named monsters and quickly escape starting from the rear! Protect the priests first!”

Of course, not everyone could retreat.

Some of the missed melee damage dealers and tanks, as well as some careless rear units were already planned to be swept away by the demons.

If they were the Federation guys, they would have destroyed their heads, but since the opponent was the State’s main unit, they could not be killed at will.

Soldiers watched in horror as the other troops got sucked in by the different types of monsters.

They were desperate to retreat after abandoning friends and colleagues.

‘I can hear the sound of accumulating performance.’

“Yejin! Yejin!”

“Help me! Help me! Help me!! Ahhhhh! Oppa! Help me! Ahhhhhh!”

‘You won’t die, so just stop. It’s done after pulling out some magic power. You can get hurt unintentionally, but you’ll never die, guys.’

“Guild Master. Thank you… for everything. Please send my news to my wife and children.”

“Sh*t! Hyunwoo… Hyunwoo!”

‘So, all I’m saying is you’re not dying.’

“These motherfuckers! These demon bastards! Sniff.”

“I don’t want to die like this. Jason… like this…”

“Katrina…”

If there are people who were allowed to leave, there are people who had to remain. Of course, I had to stop focusing on that unnecessary aspect.

Of course, if I were to think about the achievements I would accumulate, it would be right to dance, but I couldn’t end this after sucking the magic power only once.

After retreating, it was correct to plan something so that they could come back to me.

‘It’s because this is something they simply can’t misunderstand.’

If they thought I was completely depraved, it would be big trouble if I were to get to the public. However, I had showed them that I was not completely turned yet, that it appeared as if Light Kiyoung was sleeping within my subconscious.

After nodding, I went straight to work.

Sure. I harbored insignificant magic power, but I started to show a pretty convincible expression.

‘It’s still not enough…’

At the familiar voice that echoed in my head however, I couldn’t help but smile.

[Let me help in this part.]

‘Oh my, thank you. Belial.’

[There is no need to come out so submissively like that. Didn’t I give you the privilege to give this kind of help?]

‘Still, there will be endless glory. Thank you. I will give you overwhelming gratitude.’

[Haha. I say it every time, but you don’t have to thank me. Rather, it is correct that I should express my gratitude to you. Can you believe it? Several corps commanders who watched the situation in hell are giving a standing ovation. Those 72nd Corps commanders who don’t know they’re high in the sky. Even Satan shook his head and kicked his tongue. Aren’t you feeling even guilty? Are you really a disgusting human?]

‘…‘

[It’s a compliment. I’ve seen so many trash humans so far, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a disgusting human like you. You’re truly my contractor.]

‘He seems a little excited…’

His voice had taken on an unusual high-tone.

I didn’t know if it was because of our performance or simply because the current situation looked pleasant, but I felt that it was the latter.

Among the demons, Belial now seemed like a top-ranker.

Still, unlike me, who felt a bit remorse at the party members’ crumpled faces, it seemed that he was enjoying it very excitedly. I reflected on my humanity for a moment, but it was also the moment when I realized that I hadn’t fallen that far.

Anyway, thanks to Belial’s excitement, the magic power spreading through the air had become more and more powerful. This was the same amount of magic power that felt similar to when Jung Hayan chanted the massive attack magic.

Of course, most of them were just bluffs, and there were too many for me to control, but I didn’t intend to complete the spell with this, anyway. I only meant to scare them a little bit.

“Chant defense magic. Defense magic!”

“Respond to the falling magic by activating all the artifacts.”

“I-I don’t know what kind it is. It is the first black magic that I have seen… And it’s the H-Honorary Cardinal chanting the spell… that’s what’s been confirmed.”

“Chant response spells! Response spells…”

As expected, voices were bursting here and there. However, it was hard for them to find the way out.

“Oh, God…”

“Nonsense.”

“Oh, God… please…”

As the unpleasant and dark magic power increased, the faces of some of them now plunged into a hollow of despair. Some who initially thought they could respond were watching the magic power now gathered in this direction as if they had given up.

Basically, as much as the unpleasant magic power was overflowing, it was likely that they were feeling the popping effect.

‘If it falls, you die.’ Everyone was thinking the same thing.

In fact, even those who tried to shoot the magic to keep me in check stood out.

I could see Jung Hayan blasting a dagger, going mad crazy after seeing it, but…

‘Hey, it’s the worst, it’s the worst. Hayan. Why are you doing this, Hayan… Shush! You can’t swing a dagger, right? Oh my… you were able to stab one of them.’

There was no way the magic sent to keep me in check could reach me.

“Insects… human bastards.”

The voices came from here and there as I stretched my hand upwards with one closing line.

“It’s over… It’s over, everything.”

“Sh*t.”

“Benignore, Benignore. Miracle. A miracle… ”

It was then that everyone’s faces were stained with despair, and the moment I tried to lower my hands as if in return for that despair, I grabbed my head with a painful face.

“Die. Insect hum… ouch…”

“Huh?”

“W-What the… Why…”

Since some feel doubts, the appearance of suffering should not be left out.

“Ugh… Ahhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!”

I had to give my all in the desperate acting, looking as if my soul was rejecting the body. This was the most important scene, after all.

“Run… away… cough. Go… quickly…”

“…”

“Q… Quickly… there’s no more time…”

With all the tears in my eyes, I look forward with eyes as if telling them to quickly get out of this place. Those in the nest looked dumbfounded when the huge magic power that was likely to burst immediately disappeared.

𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Those who had started to have hope for a bitter battle between Light Kiyoung and Doom Kiyoung, who were fighting inside, stood out.

“Damn… daaamn!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Ugh…”

Even Limur, who had kidnapped a man who was full of magic power on the front line, began to examine my condition once I had gone crazy again.

All of the major demon executives were now gathering to check my condition.

-This is Limur. You have to wake up.

“Get… out of my face… I… am…”

-My husband. This is Limur. Can’t you remember?

“Ugh…”

-You seem a little tired, so go in and take a rest.

“…”

-If you stay quiet, the pain will disappear. Take it easy. It won’t bother you anymore. It won’t hurt anymore. That’s how you blow away the complex memories in your head. Slowly… slowly… It won’t be painful anymore. Yes, you just need to be in my arms like that.

‘Wow. I really want to recruit this one.’

Her ability to improvise was indeed amazing.

I got chills on my whole body when I thought about how I would look in the main unit’s eyes.

The scene where Light Kiyoung, who has just begun to wake up, was now once again wrapped in unpleasant tentacles.

‘Belial was right in choosing her.’

She was bound to be an actress loved by the director. I also had to admit that I liked the disgusting tentacles.

I nodded satisfactorily and glanced at the main unit, and I could see them quickly getting away as if they thought that this was their chance. However, there were people like Park Deokgu, who they had to forcibly drag, for they had seen an opportunity in which I could come back.

“I will definitely come to pick you up.”

“…”

“Look carefully in my eyes. Hyung-nim. I’ll definitely come to pick you up, so just hold on until then. I will save you no matter what, with whatever means I use. I’ll get your mind back… I will. Ugh…”

It didn’t take long before he was also dragged into the troops.

“I will definitely save you! Hold on a little more. Be sure to wait… Be sure to wait!!”

The voice of despair grew farther and farther away, and the door closed.

Bang.

Soon, I couldn’t see anyone familiar anymore.

Among the demons clapping their hands, I had to clench my fists.

‘And we’ve just achieved 10 million viewers for this show, fuck!’
