The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 26 : Corrupting Sword (4) ＞

It was only after some time had passed since the battle started that I realized that a new elite monster had appeared.

After emptying the ramen I had boiled, when I looked at my smartphone slowly, I could see someone fighting Yutenia.

One male character is fighting Utenia with a sword imbued with light.

He blocked the shadows with his skillful swordsmanship and blew a blow at the barrier of Yutenia.

Of course, it was blocked by Yutenia’s barrier and retreated without inflicting any damage.

“Did an elite monster appear?”

I think of the elite monsters that attacked Euthenia the last time.

The guy who appeared before used to wield his sword to defeat Utenia.

Compared to the current situation, it felt not so different from back then.

Looking at these appearances, I wondered if it was a common feature of elite monsters to target the characters I was raising.

“You sure look stronger than last time.”

The movement of wielding the sword is different.

While swinging his sword sharply, he blocked the shadows of Yutenia several times.

A bright light was emanating from the sword he was holding.

It seemed like a characteristic that added correction to the user’s attack power or defense power.

It was clearly stronger than the elite monsters he had defeated before.

Of course, if they fight to the end, Yutenia will win easily.

– “Liberate!”

Was he aiming for a hole in the opponent fighting Yutenia?

Roan used the [Magic Sword: Ednos] that Roan had given him before and blew up the opponent.

Aww!

The elite monster flew far away with a heavy impact sound.

It used ＜Lightning Arrow＞, which caused an electric shock with up to 30 damage.

Roan’s performance of [Magic Sword: Ednos] made my heart feel grand.

It was a performance that was not worth the amount of 8 million won.

“Ugh. I keep pulling for this taste.”

The opponent hit by ＜Lightning Arrow＞ took 8 damage and was thrown into a tree.

He bumped into a tree and stumbled for a moment, then appeared again with his sword in his hand.

It showed how to move even after being hit by the ＜Lightning Arrow＞, which has strong damage and status abnormalities.

It was different from the previous opponent who was simply stunned by the ＜Lightning＞ magic.

In terms of defense or durability, it was more solid than the existing enemies.

It was definitely an opponent who felt that the difficulty of the game had risen compared to before.

“It still seems easy, though.”

If one ＜Lightning Arrow＞ was not enough, it was enough to use ＜Lightning Arrow＞ until death.

Kwok.

I activated the Lightning Arrow target by pressing the skill button.

It is a fact that I found out while playing the game for a long time, but continuous shooting was possible if the target was set and the touch was maintained.

When the continuous fire function is activated, the skill is fired continuously without pressing the skill button again.

Of course, there was a drawback that it took a little longer than using a skill in general.

– “Goddess!”

When he aimed the activated target at the character in front of him, he raised his sword and showed him looking for the goddess.

Find the Goddess suddenly.

As for the sword that emits light and the fighting style, it seems that he was a character with a paladin setting.

breakage. phlegmatic.

The ＜Lightning Arrow＞ skill was prepared with the sound of an electric current flowing.

I started shooting the prepared ＜Lightning Arrow＞ skill at my opponent.

– “Guide the way!”

The character who uttered lines that warmed his heart swung his sword towards the flying magic.

Quang!

The ＜Lightning Arrow＞ bounced off the light-filled sword and fell in a different direction.

Using the sword, the magic flowed in a different direction.

I couldn’t help but admire the look of the character who twisted the direction of magic.

It was because the opponent’s ability was better than expected.

“Wow, what kind of magic does he deflect?”

Of course, even if the elite monster was strong, it was not at a level that could block all magic.

bang! Quang! Aww!

A character who could not handle the ＜Lightning Arrow＞ that was thrown down one after another was allowed to be shot.

The opponent who was hit directly by ＜Lightning Arrow＞ staggered while taking 9 damage.

It seemed that the defense had decreased compared to the previous due to the continuous attack.

The character, who had been electrocuted, groaned and raised his sword again.

– “Ugh…”

The more I looked at it, the more admirable it was.

It has a strong defense that greatly reduces magic damage.

In addition, he was equipped with swordsmanship to block magic.

At the strength of the character in front of me, my gaze naturally turned to the skill icon located in the corner.

A corner of the screen where skill icons are gathered.

There, there was the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill that satisfies the activation conditions and activates the button.

“Is it possible that you can’t turn elite monsters into apostles?”

In the case of the opponent I had encountered before, I simply defeated it using the ＜Lightning＞ magic.

However, the elite monsters in front of them still have a choice.

Among the games, there are countless games that allow taming of monsters.

If so, what will happen if an elite monster is designated as an apostle?

When I looked at the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill, greed began to rise in my heart.

The opponent was an elite monster that deflected magic.

If it was possible to make it into one’s own apostle and strengthen it, it was highly likely to show superior performance than other characters.

“Ha…how do you do this?”

There is no clear difference between elite monsters and normal characters.

Perhaps it was possible to influence elite monsters as well as characters.

If successful, it may be an opportunity to acquire a powerful character.

However, I wondered if the developers of this game had made the game so poorly.

Is it possible? Or will it be impossible?

Having had time to ponder, I activated the target by clicking the skill icon.

“Maybe I’m going to lose something?”

It has to be under the ground.

I used the skill with that thought.

Kwok.

Press the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill to place the activated target on top of the opponent’s character.

The boundary line of the character who entered the target area was dyed blue.

I touched the target once again to designate the character as the target of the skill.

– Would you like to select [Evan Alamere] as an Apostle?

– You need 400 Karma to select an Apostle.

– Yes No

When the skill was used, the selection message for the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill was displayed.

The name of the character who is currently fighting was Evan Alamere.

And the amount of karma required to make Evan a new apostle was 400.

After acquiring ＜Lightning Arrow＞, it was a figure that he had managed to bring to the borderline by busily hunting.

Judging by the message of choice, it seemed that it was possible to make Evan an apostle.

Using 400 Karma, you can turn elite monsters into your apostles.

If I didn’t care about the amount of karma I had to pay, there was no reason for me to hesitate at all.

“…this is real.”

I pressed the accept button without hesitation.

Kwok.

As the selection message displayed on the screen disappeared, Evan’s body was wrapped in a white flash of light.

Was it because his body was wrapped in the light?

Evan immediately lifted his head and looked up at the sky.

Evan’s face, looking at the sky, looked very tired.

As Evan looked up at the sky, messages appeared one after another at the bottom of the screen.

– [Evan Alamere] is selected as an apostle.

– Spend 400 Karma to create a new Shinigami for the Apostle.

– [Shingi: Astrafe] has been transferred to [Evan Alamere].

– [Evan Alamere] refused the apostle’s path.

– ＜Apostle Selection＞ has been put on hold.

At the same time as ＜Apostle Selection＞ was activated, a new item was created in the inventory.

Up to this point, it was similar to the time when Euthenia was made an apostle.

However, after that, something unexpected happened to me.

As Evan refused to become an apostle, a message came to mind that the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill was temporarily suspended.

The character refuses to become my apostle directly.

I felt like I was hit in the back of the head in a situation I couldn’t even imagine.

“What else is pending? Where’s my karma going?”

The opponent is an elite monster with superior stats among other characters.

To some extent, the situation in which ＜Apostle Selection＞ was impossible was also assumed.

But the problem was in the karma consumed.

Was it because a message came to mind that the item was written by consuming karma?

The available Karma had already decreased to the bottom, and the next consumption of the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill had risen to 800.

In addition, the [Shingi: Astrafe] belonging to Evan already existed in the inventory.

– “…Is that so?”

I looked at Evan on the screen in bewilderment.

Evan, who had put the ＜Selection of the Apostle＞ on hold, muttered to himself and soon started running to somewhere.

In the direction Evan was running, there was Evan’s horse standing still.

An icon in the shape of a running person appeared several times above Evan’s head as he ran.

Seeing Evan running away quickly, I urgently used the skill button at the bottom of the screen.

“You ate 400 karma and then suddenly ran away?”

After activating ＜Lightning Arrow＞, I moved the target to Evan and continued shooting skills.

Quang! bang!

Evan ran towards the horse, avoiding the lightning bolts falling towards him.

It was clear what Evan was going to do as he ran towards the horse.

I used the skill towards Evan’s horse, which was standing still while I was watching him.

Aww!

The horse that was hit directly by ＜Lightning Arrow＞ threw up a skull speech bubble and fell to the ground.

Evan, who was looking at the horse that had fallen on his seat, turned and started to enter the mountain.

Seeing Evan running away, a possibility suddenly flashed through his mind.

It was a possibility that I had forgotten while thinking only about using the ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill.

– (escape)

“If he dies, will my karma go away?”

I stopped my finger, which was moving to point at Evan, in place.

The consumption of karma is only in the process of creating a new spirit.

And [Shingi: Astrafe] belonged to Evan, who was conducting ＜Selection of the Apostles＞.

So, what will happen to [Shingi: Astrafe] when Evan dies?

Most likely, it would be stuck in your inventory and become unusable.

Thinking of the possibility, I had no choice but to think about an amicable solution.

“It seems like it will fly as it is. Looking at the pending status, it seems that there is a possibility that we can proceed again.”

The reason that ＜Apostle Selection＞ was withheld was because Evan refused to become an apostle.

If Evan accepted to become an apostle again, there was a possibility that ＜Apostle Selection＞ would proceed normally.

It’s only a possibility, though.

However, this is not the first time that ＜Selection of the Apostle＞ has been put on hold.

There was enough room to lean on the possibility of finishing ＜Selection of the Apostles＞.

I had to convince Evan somehow.

I moved my finger to activate the conversation with Utenia.

“Youtenia. You must go and get a newcomer.”

I can’t convince a character in the game in a normal way.

There is only one way you can use it.

It was just sending a person who could communicate with the character directly to Evan.

And for me, the only existence that could do that was Yutenia.

Kwok.

After activating the chat window, I sent a message to Utenia telling me to bring Evan in somehow.

Of course, the messages I sent were translated and sent by the speech bubble translator.

– “Welcome to the new apostle. Those who forsake the scattered light will find a new way.”
