The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 27 : Corrupting Sword (5) ＞

“Ha, ha…!”

Evan sighed heavily and looked around.

It’s been several hours since he ran away feeling ominous in the face of a fragment of the evil spirit.

The setting sun was hanging over the darkened sky.

It had been a long time since the horse he was riding was swept away by the magic of the evil spirit.

Evan, who had lost his words, could not help but feel a great regret.

While moving in the Empire’s territory, he had become quite familiar with the horse he was moving with.

And the most inconvenient thing was the fact that he had to walk through the vast empire land on his own legs.

“Huh, have you gotten farther away now…?”

Evan stroked his chest, which was starting to hurt, with his palms.

Was it because I was rushing to run to survive?

His lungs, which were breathing heavily, were complaining of pain.

The magic of the evil spirit that was pouring down after him had also disappeared before he knew it.

It might be possible to take a break now.

It was the moment when Evan slowly caught his breath and set out to find a suitable resting place.

– “Accept your fate.”

A solemn voice echoed in Evan’s ear.

A mysterious voice resounds over and over again after facing the evil spirit’s apostle.

The unidentified voice continued to speak meaningful words to Evan.

However, despite the resounding voice, no magic fell from the sky towards Evan.

Even if you try to talk to something, it doesn’t return a proper response.

He was just repeating the same thing to Evan periodically.

After listening to the story over and over again, Evan realized that it was just the work of the evil spirit.

“……noisy.”

Evan, who blew a whistle toward the unidentified voice, walked forward looking ahead at a slow pace.

Evan, who had been walking for a long time, had a sour taste in his mouth.

gulp.

Evan swallowed his saliva and continued to move his creaking legs.

Evan’s gaze, who had been walking silently, found something far away this time.

A little ahead where a steep mountain road stretches out.

A small town existed there.

“Is there a village?”

Evan’s face, who discovered the village, turned red.

It was Evan who was feeling very thirsty because he had been running for a long time.

If there is a village, you can get water and drink it.

If we were lucky, we might even be able to solve the accommodation problem at once.

Evan moved towards the village, hoping that the villagers would be friendly to outsiders.

I have been serving God and sacrificing for people all my life.

“……”

Tub. Tub.

Evan’s footsteps echoed through the dense mountain road.

How many more times did I force myself to take a step that was lacking in strength?

Evan, who was repeatedly moving forward, was able to arrive at the beginning of the village.

The village located in the valley was much smaller than Evan’s thoughts.

There were rows of crudely built wooden houses, and even that was a small number.

As Evan, who had reached a short distance, was about to enter the village, a resident standing at the entrance of the village asked, looking at Evan.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen your face, who are you?”

“…Evan Alamere. He is a pilgrim who has left the Holy Land and is wandering around the empire.

Upon hearing Evan’s story, the villagers tilted their heads.

Is there a problem with the status of being properly surrounded?

Evan looked at the villager with nervous eyes.

The villager pondered for a moment and answered Evan while nodding his head.

“Water? Can you share some water?”

“I’m sorry, but let me get some help.”

“You seem to be a worshiper of God, I see. There’s no reason why I can’t give you such a simple help.”

Fortunately, it seemed that it was possible to get water from the villagers to drink.

The villager who left his seat quickly returned to Evan with a bowl.

The bowl that the villager brought back to Evan was full of water.

It was cool water that I encountered after a few hours.

Although the water was a little dirty, it was enough to drink at this level.

That was the moment Evan was about to bring the bowl to his mouth to drink.

– “Accept your fate.”

Evan, who was about to drink water, felt something and threw the bowl he was holding.

It was an act of intuition.

The water he was holding was barely enough to wet Evan’s lips.

Sreung.

Evan, who drew his sword in an instant, looked back.

Suddenly, a sharp spear of lightning appeared in the sky.

“Oh no! What are you doing?”

“Goddess——!”

Evan did not succumb to the cry of the bewildered villagers, and breathed divine power into the sword he drew.

The light of faith shone on Evan’s sword, and the sword vibrated once.

The evil god who was chasing him had found Evan before he knew it.

With this, the plan of hiding in the village became completely impossible.

breakage. phlegmatic.

A spear of lightning made from the sky was shot at Evan.

Taking a deep breath, Evan swung his sword to deflect the evil spirit’s attack.

“Bur, lightning…?”

Aww!

The lightning spear deflected by Evan’s sword collided with the ground and exploded.

A deafening explosion sound resounded, and the villagers who watched the scene bowed down.

Evan, who deflected the attack that was flying towards him, looked at the villager while breathing heavily.

It was to make sure he was unharmed from the attack of the evil spirit.

“Are you okay? So that you don’t get hurt…”

“Aww! More, more coming down!”

“what……?”

Rain of lightning started pouring down over Evan, who was turning his head.

Quang! bang! Aww!

A spear of lightning raining from the sky swept away everything in the village.

Evan felt his head dazed at the torrential rain of lightning that fell in front of him.

It’s the magic of unbelievable numbers.

It was a landscape where the word natural disaster would be appropriate.

It was something that Evan could never stop alone.

“Sah, save me…”

The villager in front of Evan hung at his feet and began to beg.

Evan, who watched the scene, felt his hand holding the sword tremble.

he is weak

You cannot save even those who suffer in front of you.

He became a paladin to save people.

However, even the person dying in front of him could not properly save the situation.

“Because I came…”

Evan is the only one the evil spirits are chasing after.

The reason the evil spirits attacked this place was because Evan had come to this town.

It was because of Evan’s weakness that he could not save the dying.

It was all because of Evan.

It happened because Evan was weak.

If only he had a little bit more power.

All these tragedies would not have happened had they had the power to save people from the attacks of evil spirits.

“Pilgrim!”

power is needed

Nevertheless, the goddess of honor does not look at herself.

He doesn’t even answer his prayers to God.

The only thing looking at Evan was an evil spirit beyond the dimension.

close.

Evan, the evil-doer, was aware of his shabby plight and removed the villager hanging at his feet.

Then, in a sad voice, he warned him.

“I’ll get your attention. If you don’t want to die, run away somewhere.”

“Yes……?”

“Once you understand, move quickly.”

“…Yes, yes!”

The villager who understood Evan’s words hesitated and began to run away.

Kaang! Kang!

Evan deflected the falling lightning a few more times, then started running in the opposite direction to the villager’s movement.

His target was a deep, uninhabited mountain range.

Unless Evan personally visits the village, the villagers living elsewhere will not be swept away.

– “Accept your fate.”

Trying to ignore the voices in his head, Evan continued to run towards the mountain.

have to go away

Even in a village where people live.

And even from the evil god who looks at you.

That was the only way Evan Alamere could keep his convictions.

* * * * * *

Four days have passed since I used ＜Choose the Apostle＞ on Evan Alamere.

In the meantime, I have been busy following Evan and tormenting him.

Even if it bothered him, he didn’t do anything special to Evan.

Whenever I was bored, I just turned on the game and threw ＜Lightning Arrow＞ around Evan.

Of course, if possible, I was careful not to hit Evan directly.

It was because I would be in trouble if [Shingi: Astrafe] was locked after Evan died.

Occasionally, he repeatedly hit the ＜Lightning＞ skill next to sleeping Evan.

It was because I couldn’t watch the guy who dared swallow my 400 karma fall asleep comfortably.

– “Goddess.”

Whenever I did something drastic to harass Evan, Evan would keep his hands together and seek the goddess.

Apparently, he was a devout paladin.

He showed that he did not lose faith in the goddess even in difficult circumstances.

How virtuous a character must be to be able to pray while suffering excruciating pain.

If it were me, I would have spit swear words at the goddess who didn’t help me earlier.

Even from my point of view as I watched Evan, it was a situation that could bring out admiration.

“Awesome. You are the best.”

I used to listen to the sound of the ＜Lightning＞ skill instead of the applause to Evan.

Kwareung! bang! Quarreung!

Every time a light thunder sounded, Evan got up with his sword and started spinning around.

The applause that came from my heart seemed to jump out of my mouth.

When Evan started showing such movements, I made a light beat with ＜Lightning＞ to match it.

Kwareung! Kwareung! bang! bang! bang! bang!

Hearing the beat created by the ＜Lightning＞ skill, Evan began to circle around faster than before.

Of course, while continuing to be on the lookout for the goddess, the search for the goddess did not change.

– “Goddess of Honor.”

At this point, it was a part that made me want to see even the face of what a great goddess she is.

Evan Allamere.

He was a very religious character.

As long as he can’t properly break his will, there’s no way Evan will accept ＜Selection of the Apostle＞.

Moreover, it was the conclusion I had made for several days that a simple whip wasn’t effective enough.

In the end, the input of Utenia was inevitable.

“Slowly, it was time for Utena to enter.”

You have to convince Evan yourself by using another character.

And if it were a Yutenia I knew, I would be able to convince Evan enough.

No, it had to be.

Because Evan has 400 karma at stake.

It was the moment when I was about to send a message to Yutenia, who was watching Evan like that.

– “Goddess of Honor, Goddess of Abundance, Goddess of Knowledge, Goddess of Hunting, Goddess of Order… Anyone please help.”

After wandering around for a while, Evan finally put his sword on the floor and began to pray.

However, the object of prayer was very different from before.

The names of other goddesses began to flow out of Evan’s mouth, who had been crying out to the goddess all day.

I looked at Evan with bewildered eyes at the names of the goddesses that flowed out in an instant.

I thought that she was a person who firmly looked only at the goddess of honor no matter what.

Apparently, there were a few gods that he worshiped.
