- Volume 6 Episode 14

14. What Was Under It (2)

"Buff, divine power. God's protection"

Hoya, who used the skill, rolled up his sword strongly.

"fast!"

Nettle-!

After that, he approached Kwon Il-woo and used his speed to hit as many hits as possible.

However, the effective damage was only about half of them.

A level 500 boss monster, moving pretty fast.

Fortunately, Kwon Il-woo's HP was gradually decreasing little by little.

Hoya's own HP was also being reduced by that much, but there was a means of recovery for him.

As more than tens of minutes had passed since the battle with Kwon Il-woo, Hoya had a question.

'Why is no one coming?'

During the battle with Kwon Il-woo, a lot of loud noises and vibrations were generated.

He might have come here to find the cause of the sudden loud roar and vibration, but so far, no one has appeared above the doorway.

The doorway at the top of the rope ladder remained open, so it would not mean that you couldn't find the entrance.

"I wonder why the jammer isn't coming?"

Kwon Il-woo, noticing Hoya's question, drew a long arc on his lips and said:

"There is a barrier in place here. Neither sound nor vibration can escape from here. If you give a shock big enough to break the barrier, the story will be different, but you must have that kind of power..."

"Holly Ray."

Pah-!

Hoya didn't wait for Kwon Il-woo to finish speaking, but instead aimed at the gap and attacked using his skill.

"Ugh...! Your boy! Isn't it polite to wait when someone speaks!"

Kwon Il-woo, who had never imagined that he would be attacked while speaking, had never been interrupted before, so he had to be hit by Hoya's attack.

Angered in anger, I looked in the direction where Hoya was and saw him approaching right in front of me.

"Thorn."

Hoya used weakness detection to stab his sword at the visible red dot, and four out of five attacks hit the red dot.

It was the most damaging attack out of all the attacks so far.

"Fuck! This bastard!"

A sharp wind drew a circle with Kwon Il-woo as the center, and Hoya bounced back due to the impact.

As Hoya's body floated in the air regardless of his will, it was an opportunity for Kwon Il-woo to inflict great damage on Hoya, but Kwon Il-woo was headed to Badu, not Hoya.

"Craak!"

Badu created a fireball and fired it at Kwon Il-woo, who was approaching him.

A fireball the size of a large rock was fired, but Kwon Il-woo weakened it with the wind to reduce its size, barely avoided it, passed Badu, and headed behind it.

Badu tried to fire a fireball again at Gan Il-woo, who had passed him, but Hoya chased Kwon Il-woo and blocked it.

"No, Baduya!"

There were court ladies in the direction Badu was going to shoot the fireball.

If Kwon Il-woo even avoids the fireball, only the court ladies will be harmed.'Is the court ladies the goal? Why now?'

Kwon Il-woo seemed to be heading towards the court ladies.

I didn't understand why I didn't pay any attention to them until now, and only now pay attention to them.

However, Hoya's question was solved by Kwon Il-woo's actions that followed immediately.

Aww!

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Kwon Il-woo approached the court ladies, snatched one of them, and bit the nape of her neck.

Then, the court lady's body quickly dried up, and Kwon Il-woo's HP rose in proportion to it.

"Bullet!"

[The cloudy magic bracelet responded to 'Bullet'.]

['Bullet' is cast 3 more times.]

Four bullets with the shortest casting time among Hoya's ranged attacks were aimed at Kwon Il-woo.

He aimed at his head because he couldn't be beaten by the court ladies who were sitting down.

However, Kwon Il-woo immediately threw the court lady on the floor and moved, so the bullet hit the wall and disappeared.

Hoya immediately used her heels on her court lady who had sucked her blood, but it was already too late.

"Ha, drinking blood during exercise is really special."

Kwon Il-woo's expression, having recovered most of his HP, looked very refreshing.

'Have you recovered your HP by drinking blood?'

The vampires in the underground tunnels cut their stamina, but did not recover, so they thought that they would not touch the court ladies, so they were careless.

'Still, I had to pay enough attention to safety......'

Hoya admits to her own mistakes and begins to care about protecting her court ladies.

However, because of that, his mind was scattered, and the battle with Kwon Il-woo gradually became a disadvantage for him.

It was several times more difficult to defend and fight than just to fight.

And Kwon Il-woo also felt that Hoya cared about court ladies, stabbed the point and blew unavoidable attacks, and the war situation turned sharply.

If Hoya cares about the court ladies, he gets attacked, and if he doesn't pay attention, Kwon Il-woo takes the opportunity to suck the court lady's blood and restore his HP repeatedly.

Fortunately, unlike the first time, he was able to save the court ladies with heels.

But instead, whenever Heal's cooldown returned, most of it had to be used to heal the court ladies.

👌👌👌👌 Chang Kang!

"Hahaha! Try struggling a little more!"

Due to Kwon Il-woo's recent attack, the Holy Shield was broken.

Most of the skills were in the cooldown time, so the only skills Hoya could use were Explosion, Sanctuary, Sword and Yanghwa, and Bullet and Heal with a short cooldown.

Hoya checked her HP and the status of the court ladies.

Fortunately, the court ladies were in good condition, so Hoya avoided Kwon Il-woo's attack and used heels on himself to recover his HP.

Then, a bright light enough to frown on Hoya's vision was dyed pure white.

* * *

"uh......?"

Hoya looked around with a puzzled face.

There was no dust visible on the white, lumpy floor like a cloud, and a temple was built at the end of the two long columns in front of it.

"where are you......?"

Until recently, he must have been in the cavity beneath the emperor's bed.

But for some reason, when I closed my eyes to the bright light and opened it again, I was in a completely different place.

Neither Kwon Il-woo nor the court ladies were seen.

"Keon...?"

Looking back at the familiar sound, I saw Badu turning his head with a bewildered expression and looking around.

'Why are we alone here?'

I don't know why, but I had to go back as soon as possible.

In the meantime, Kwon Il-woo may be harming his court ladies.

But from here he had no idea how to get back there.

Kick-.

At that moment, the tightly closed door of the temple opened.

It was as if he was telling me to come inside.

Hoya felt the need to be on the lookout, but Badu sniffed his nose to see if it wasn't, and he went inside the temple as if he was drawn to something.

"Wait, Baduya!"

"King!"

When Hoya called, Badu just turned back and answered once, but he did not stop walking.

When Badu completely went inside the temple, an unexpected system message occurred.

[You have cleared the quest 'Big Steps to Increase Strength - Fourth'.]

[Pet 'Badu' acquires the attribute 'Holy'.]

"what......."

The fourth quest that was created when Badu reached level 50, its completion condition was a face-to-face encounter with the gods.

Hoya rushed to the temple and looked inside from the entrance.

Unlike the exterior, the inside of the temple was all white and there was no boundary between the wall and the floor, so there was no sense of space.

In the middle of the pure white space, I saw Badu sitting on the lap of a figure.

She was a woman with long bluish-silver hair that seemed to be dragged to the floor, blue eyes through which she could see, and the skin beneath her pure white clothes that looked more beautiful than anyone else.

And when she put her in her sight, her system message was triggered once again to her Hoya.

[The player succeeded in facing the god for the first time.]

[Achieving Hidden Peace increases the stat 'Holy Power' by 400, and this applies even if you do not have the stat 'Holy Power'.]

[Acquire the title 'The One Who Facing God']

[Those who faced God]

Cooldown: 14 days

"Eve......?"As Hoya uttered the conclusion he reached after reading the system message, the woman who was stroking Badu smiled.

"Nice to meet you, Hoya. I am Eve, the god of NPCs."

"Nonsense......."

AI Eve that manages Initium, is it possible for it and the player to meet?

'No, shouldn't we meet in the first place?'

"I'm a different Eve from the one who manages the game. I want you to see it as a different entity."

"...Did I just say it out loud?"

"No, I read your thoughts."

"......"

"First of all, because he is a god, he is the strongest in the world. That level is possible. In reality, it is read through the brain waves connected to the capsule."

Eve covered her mouth with one hand and smiled mischievously.

"Are you wondering why you came here?"

"Ah yes."

"It's because you've achieved the advanced level of divine magic that Reina taught me, Hoya."

After that, Hoya checked his skill and found that he had really risen to a higher level.

It was probably caused by repeating use as soon as the cooldown time of Heal and Holy Ray returned while fighting Kwon Il-woo.

Her light was warmer and more powerful than anyone else.

The title 'Successor of the Legendary Light' has also been changed so that the 4 basic stats rise by 2 for every 4 divine power stats.

'But what does that have to do with this?'

Eve opened her mouth when Hoya had such a question in her mind.

"Hoya, do you remember how she first learned divine magic?"

"That..., I was baptized in the temple."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Eve was explaining with her eyes glowing.
