The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 71 : White Paladin (5) ＞

In the rising smoke, Guilford’s eyes scanned the front of the cliff.

What was there was the devastation of the Guardians spread out in a miserable state.

crumbling bushes. broken bow.

And countless lives that have disappeared from it.

The rising flames and the remaining bites were proof that all of this was the work of a wizard.

“…that’s miserable.”

Guilford’s gaze, passing through the fallen people, this time scanned the bottom of the cliff.

The entrance to a small cave located at the bottom of the cliff.

There was a girl waiting for them with a book wide open.

Tub. Tub.

The sound of footsteps of mercenaries approaching the girl resounded.

The girl, leaning against the wall, reading a book, raised her head and looked at Guilford and his companions.

“It seems that uninvited guests have come.”

A gentle girl’s voice resounded to everyone present.

Rihanna was the first to step forward at the girl’s voice.

Rihanna drew out a white holy sword and stared at the girl holding the book.

Then he greeted her with complex emotions.

“I’ll see you again soon.”

“I will. I let it go once, but it came back.”

“Who are you?”

“I am the First Apostle, Eutenia High Lost.”

1st Apostle.

Upon hearing Euthenia’s words, Guilford frowned.

Considering the meaning of the word apostle and the number in front of it, it was not difficult to guess what kind of person the opponent was.

“…the First Apostle?”

“It is the first paper of the Great One.”

Sado, Eutenia High Lost.

It was clear that she had a high rank within the Church of Evil Gods.

He is the first among the apostles.

Everyone in this place had an intuition that it would certainly be a difficult battle.

Sreung.

Guilford pulled out his god, Ascalon, from his waist.

Ascalon escaped from its scabbard and emitted a clear light.

Following Guilford’s action as he drew his sword, the nearby mercenaries also raised their weapons.

“Apostle of the evil spirit. Why are you trying to awaken the ancestors of vampires?”

Lian, who was at the forefront of the group, asked Yutenia.

It was a question about why Utenia defeated the Guardians and took over the cave.

Hearing Rihanna’s question, Yutenia gently stroked the pages of the book.

She answered, stroking the book in her hand, as if handling something precious.

“Because that is the will of the Great.”

“Is that all the reason?”

“To obey God’s will and to preach His will. Is there any more important action than that?”

Hearing Yutenia’s answer, Rihanna looked dazed.

Even Guilford thought that it was an answer that was enough to make Rihanna panic.

Isn’t this a thought that anyone who worships God can do?

However, the subject of faith was only an evil evil spirit.

shudder.

Guilford, who adjusted the position of the equipment, took Ascalon and took a pose.

“The problem is that that god is an evil god.”

“…they are stupid people.”

“I wonder if it’s more foolish than following evil spirits.”

As she continued to listen to Guilford, her face hardened.

She was showing signs of dissatisfaction with the stories being told to her.

tuk.

Yutenia, who closed the book she was holding, looked at Guilford.

The anger emanating from Yutenia’s gray eyes, Guilford raised the tension so that he could respond at any time.

“To use the word evil spirit towards him, you have been speaking rudely to a great person ever since.”

“Isn’t it better to be rude than to be ruthless?”

Hearing Guilford’s words, Yutenia shook her head.

She looked like she had made a decision of some sort.

Yutenia reached out and stroked the black dragon on her shoulder.

The young dragon, who received her hand, cried out in a slender voice.

“I was trying to save the person who ran away, but I guess I can’t do that anymore.”

“The attack is coming! Be careful!”

“–Alpha.”

The moment Rihan frowned and shouted to the surroundings as if he sensed something strange.

The shadow that had been under Yutenia’s feet spread out in all directions.

The shadows that spread quickly were wide enough to cover the entire radius around them.

All of the mercenaries, including Guilford, showed a bewildered look in the realm of shadows that spread in an instant.

Guilford, holding Ascalon and guarding all directions, warned the mercenaries to be careful.

“Everyone, watch out for your surroundings! You never know where things might go wrong!”

“Gilford! Spread the mercenaries! The more you gather, the greater the chance of damage!”

Lian and Serena spoke while keeping their distance from the mercenaries.

nod.

Guilford, who agreed with Ryan’s story, looked at the mercenaries again.

It was the moment when Guilford, who turned his gaze towards the mercenaries, was about to give them orders.

“Everyone, keep your distance and look around…!”

“Danjaa Dan——!”

“Gaff?”

There was a voice calling Guilford to cut off his words and break his throat.

When Guilford turned his head to the voice he heard, he saw Garp running towards him.

Garp seemed to rush towards Guilford with all his might, regardless of his injuries.

At that moment, Guilford was puzzled by Garp’s appearance.

A huge darkness began to rise around Guilford.

The anomaly that Guilford was wary of had only appeared in the shadows.

“leader!”

“ah…….”

While Guilford was immobilized in embarrassment, Garp, who was running towards him, slammed Guilford with all his might.

Koo!

With a heavy crashing sound, Guilford’s body bounced away.

Guilford, who had been rolling on the floor from the impact of being hit by Garp, quickly took a stance.

After putting Ascalon on the floor, Guilford immediately looked up and looked at Garp.

He had a sad expression on his face, submerged in the darkness that surrounded Guilford.

Seeing Guilford being thrown out, Garp put down his ax and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry, Commander…”

“Go… Garp! Get out of there quickly!”

“At the end of the day——.”

The moment Garp is about to tell his final story to Guilford.

quack.

Garp’s body disappeared into the darkness with a repulsive sound.

Guilford’s eyes looked at the darkness that had swallowed Garp.

In the huge shadow wrapped in jet black, only the golden light of his eyes flashed horribly.

The only thing left in the place where Garp was was a strange monster.

“Go, f…?”

“Guilford! Calm down!”

“Gaff, I…”

The companion disappeared from Guilford’s eyes.

Garp. A colleague who had been with him the longest.

A subordinate and friend, a reliable mercenary who has been with Guilford from beginning to end.

Even though the difference in talent kept the two apart, he never gave up until the very end, and he worked hard to pursue him.

Such Garp’s last moment flew out in front of Guilford’s eyes.

“Gilford Floud!”

A colleague I thought we could be together forever has died.

Guilford’s hand, who was holding Ascalon, began to tremble.

Instead of tears of sorrow, what erupted within him was the emotion of rage.

A fierce shout erupted from Guilford’s mouth as he recalled Garp’s appearance.

“AA AA AA……!”

As if trying to vomit out all the emotions he had in his chest, Guilford let out a fierce shout.

A scream like a scream resounds.

Guildford’s screaming eyes looked like red bloodstains standing upright.

Woo woo woo woo–!

Ascalon, stuck on the floor, resonated with Guilford’s emotions and began to vibrate.

Ascalon, emitting a brighter light than ever before, spoke to Guilford.

– “The causal factor has not yet reached that point. This is an area that is not allowed for you.”

“……”

– “That’s right. It looks like you’re going to use your lifespan.”

A deep glow rose from Guilford’s eyes as he was holding Ascalon.

Guilford’s body, which accepted the power of the divine, transcended human beings, even temporarily.

The powerful magic that swept through Guilford’s body was transforming the anger that engulfed his body into power.

Guilford, who had put an auror over the shining shinig, drew Ascalon with his blood-stained hands.

The figure of Guilford holding a shining sword with a glowing eye was comparable to that of a mythical hero.

– “Trouble and adversity must be the way to make a hero.”

Amidst the flashing lights, Guilford raised his sword and stared at the shadows.

Beyond the shadows reflected by the eye light.

The figure of a dark beast living in the shadows could be seen in Guilford’s eyes.

* * * * * *

“Looks like we’re fighting again.”

While I was playing the game while eating ramen, what I encountered was the appearance of Yutenia fighting an unidentified enemy.

She was engaged in a battle with the Dark Demon Beast I had handed over before.

It was not uncommon for believers to fight after entering the fortress.

As the difficulty increases, monsters are appearing from all directions.

Numerous followers, including Roan, fought frequently.

Except for Estasia, who doesn’t even try to move from her seat.

“Is the boss a little stronger this time?”

I shrugged my chin and looked at the battle of Utenia with an intriguing gaze.

It seemed that the knight with the shining sword and Yutenia were fighting.

Every time the light flashed from the knight’s sword, the magic of Yutenia had changed to translucent and was scattered.

Read at readwn.com

Maybe that’s why it was Yutenia, who was using the shadow’s touch and magic at the same time.

Was it because of the steady support I had for my growth?

Despite the fact that his magic was weakening, Yutenia was showing a figure that was not greatly pushed against the knights.

– “Evil monster! I will kill you!”

Behind it, there was a character who was fighting a fierce battle with [Dark Demon Beast: Alpha].

The man with his shining sword and flashing eyes was chasing Alpha in a monstrous form.

It was an appearance that made it difficult to distinguish between an Alpha and a man who should be called a monster.

Whenever Alpha appeared from the shadows, the scene of a man shooting down Alpha with his sword and returning it back into the shadows was repeated.

If you were watching it, it was like catching a mole.

However, it seems that the opponent that appeared this time was definitely strong, and Alpha seemed to have a hard time against men.

“This boss seems to be strong.”

I muttered as I quickly inhaled the ramen to help Alpha.

Did the smartphone even recognize my voice?

A speech bubble icon appeared above the knight’s head on the screen.

It looked like he was having a conversation with the character in the cloak behind him.

– “The evil spirit is looking at this place.”

– “I know.”

tuk.

I put down my chopsticks and looked at my smartphone with excitement.

To call a good-natured citizen who eats ramen noodles to pay for the game as an evil spirit.

It was a serious insult to the customer.

I picked up my smartphone and touched the location of the article with my finger.

“Who is the evil spirit?”

Kaang!

The knight swung his sword to block my attack.

Could it be a common characteristic of elite monsters these days?

It was a knight who could easily block my basic attack as if it were natural.

It was a situation in which I did not expect that the basic attack would work from the beginning.

I turned my gaze to the icon of ＜Giga Lightning＞ located in the corner.

“The difficulty has risen a lot.”

– “Everyone, watch out! Evil spirits will attack!”

“But it won’t be able to get rid of jap mobs with this.”

I activated ＜Giga Lightning＞ and focused so that the enemies entered the skill range.

I was planning to use ＜Giga Lightning＞ to wipe out the normal characters first.

When I set the target and touched the screen, the light spread and dark clouds began to gather.

The wide-ranging attack skill ＜Giga Lightning＞ started to activate.

– I used ＜Giga Lightning＞.

The moment I activated ＜Giga Lightning＞ to attack the enemies.

The knight who was fighting the battle with Yutenia stepped back and raised his sword straight toward the sky.

A brilliant light was radiating from the sword the knight raised.

A large speech bubble appeared above the knight’s head, which began to emit a thick white light.

– “White! Guide the light!”

At the same time as the knight lit up, the flashing effect of ＜Giga Lightning＞ faded.

In the message box at the bottom of the screen, new messages were popping up one after another.

I read the content of the message, feeling bewildered at the feast of the first message.

– ＜White area＞ is functioning.

– The application range of ＜Giga Lightning＞ is reduced by 75%.

– The duration of ＜Giga Lightning＞ is reduced by 75%.

– The damage of ＜Giga Lightning＞ is reduced by 75%.

As the special pattern was activated, a message came to mind that the power of magic was reduced.

The range, duration, and damage of the ＜Giga Lightning＞ skill have all been reduced by 75%.

In fact, it is safe to say that 75% of the overall performance was calculated by applying three multiplications and decreased.

As I read the message that came to my mind, I could understand why the battle of Utenia had been going on for so long.

The boss character in front of him had a special pattern to reduce magic damage.

If there was such a pattern, it was only natural that Utenia, who had been nurtured mainly by magic, struggled.

On the contrary, even considering the difference in compatibility, Utenia, who was fighting equally, was so proud of it.

“No, how do you get all these scam patterns?”

The skills I have are all magic-oriented skills.

It was like carrying a huge penalty in the battle against the boss.

However, it is impossible to beat a boss in perfect condition with a basic attack.

Somehow, while leaving magical powers, the opposing characters have to be cleaned up.

Feeling frustrated, I was preparing to play ＜Giga Lightning＞, and the two characters started having a different conversation this time.

– “Saint! How prepared are you for the declaration of sanctuary!”

– “Ryan! Almost done!”

– “Please right away!”

It was about a knight character asking another character to declare sanctuary.

proclamation of sanctuary.

It was a skill that looked unusual just by looking at the name.

When I heard the name of the skill from the boss character, I couldn’t help but be alert.

“A declaration of sanctuary? What else is that?”

Apparently, an additional pattern was about to fly.

As it is a pattern that the boss uses directly, it seemed highly likely to cause a negative effect on us.

Even if you use a skill to break the pattern, the knight will try to defend you as before.

Feeling dangerous, I canceled the skill I was going to use, and took my finger to the barrier skill.

I was thinking of protecting even Utenia from unforeseen circumstances.

As I prepared to activate the barrier skill, another character, kneeling, began to pray.

– “Goddess, lead me to abundance.”

– “Goddess, grant me peace.”

– “Goddess, grant me comfort.”

Seeing the balloons pop up one after another, it was clear that he was trying to use some big technique.

tock.

I continued to hit the barrier and began to overwrite Yutenia.

Even if it was a weakened barrier, it was thought that it would have a meaningful defense if it continued to be applied.

Around 10 barriers activated by pressing the target like that.

After casting, the character got up from his seat and launched a large speech bubble.

– “Sanctuary Proclamation—— Aurus Saint.”

And at the end of that speech bubble, the screen went black.

Jiggly, supportive——.

The screen of the smartphone made a strange sound and appeared to crackle.

When the screen of the smartphone turned off unexpectedly, I dropped the smartphone in panic.

“what’s this……?”

tuk.

The smartphone, which rotated once in the air, landed with a blunt sound.

New messages were emerging from the bottom of the smartphone lying on the floor.

– An abnormality has occurred in ＜Eye of the Observer＞.

– An abnormality has occurred in ＜Eye of the Observer＞.

– An abnormality has occurred in ＜Eye of the Observer＞.

– Anomalies in ＜The Observer’s Eye＞——.
