435. Sehmet Underground Warehouse 1
(※What follows is actually the result of tossing a coin.)
Kururu!
Deep beneath the Temple of Sehmet.
“Sheesh...”
One of the snitches. As a result of the man wearing glasses collapsing the hallway floor, Alec and him ended up in the basement of the temple.
“How far have you fallen?”
By the way, while Alec fell, the [Pure Blood] time ended and he regained control of his body.
“What does it matter? What does the location matter?”
“I’ll have to light the fire first. What should I show you?”
right!
The man wearing glasses snapped his fingers lightly.
Pod! Pod! Pod!
Then, the lamps installed on the walls radiated light, gently lighting up the dark warehouse.
Of course, since this lamp is installed in the Black God cult, it cannot be used unless you are a black magician.
“I can see you now.”
“Tsk tsk tsk Darkness is a familiar space for black magicians.”
At the same time, it is something Alec can use.
right!
Pod! Pod! Pod!
Alec snapped his fingers and extinguished the lamp.
“If you are a true black magician, you must know how to accept the pitch-black darkness where you cannot see an inch ahead.”
“...”
“It is a game in silence. come!”
In the end, the man with glasses took out a lamp that was normally lit from the inventory and placed it all over the warehouse.
“You don’t know aesthetics.”
“I don’t need anything like aesthetics.”
Saaak.
The bespectacled man spoke calmly and raised a sharp sword that emitted cold air.
“All I need is the result of stopping you here and moving upstairs to join my teammates.”
“Wait a minute. What did you just say?”
“....”
“Why do you say lines like the main character? Do you think I’m the bad guy? The bad guys are you guys who go out to kill the apostles.”
A very sensitive situation for Alec, who values the concept more than anyone else.
“So, Mr. Alec will intercept that line just now.”
“...”
“I don’t need aesthetics. All I need is the result of stopping you here and moving upstairs to join my teammates.”
Alec smiled as he said this, but this time he didn’t create blood weapons like Helven or Hypocrites that used blood magic like usual.
“...”
Couldn’t create a weapon exactly.
The reason was that he didn’t have the strength to fight right away because he wasted too much stamina under the influence of [Pure Blood] earlier.
‘This guy is a skill I haven’t fully mastered yet...’ Just
as Kim Ho-jeong couldn’t handle his [Black Mist] properly, Alec wasn’t in a state where he could properly handle [Pure Blood].
Of course, it is true that Alec, who would have had a hard time staying sane during the runaway [Pure Blood], had been a normal person.
However, [Pure Blood] was a skill that was so powerful that even Alec needed a long training, so the side effects were so severe now that he hadn’t used it a few times.
‘To be honest, I want to lie down right now... but there’s no way that friend would let me do that.’
Alec scratched his head as if he couldn’t help it and opened his mouth.
“Let me introduce myself first. You know my name, but I don’t know yours.”
Alec smiled and nodded.
Of course, Alec knew the other person’s name, but he was just answering this on purpose.
“By the way, my name is Alec. My job is a detective.”
“...An apostle belonging to the Sehmet Church. It is Jeongjin.”
“Wait a minute, I have to be honest. You are frakchi.”
“Are you going to keep fighting with your mouth?”
A man named Jeong-jin pointed his sword at Alec and said.
“Then you can ask questions that have no choice but to be answered.”
Alec sighed and opened his mouth.
“What was the reason you saved me earlier?”
“what?”
“Look, he reacts right away.”
As if waiting for that, Alec smiled and started pointing his finger.
“I don’t know what you are talking about. I dropped you here because you got in the way of the fight...”
“No no, not this free fall. Seo Yu-ri.”
“...”
“Don’t you remember? Didn’t that guy save me? The moment a friend tried to attack me, who was running rampant earlier, Seo Yu-ri stabbed him.”
In fact, Yuri Seo’s behavior at that time was a little strange.
Seo Yu-ri was an infiltrator who was hiding in order to destroy the temple, and Alec was the third enemy who attacked everyone in sight without identifying friends or family under the influence of [Pure Blood].
Of course, among the believers Alec was beating, there must have been members of the Apostle Raiders.
“At that time, you guys didn’t even reveal your identity, so it would be more convenient to work together with the general believers to defeat me and then kill me... Seo Yu-ri dared to stab the believers who were trying to attack me, revealing their personalities and pulling aggro. ”
Afterwards, even when the fight was divided between the infiltrators and the followers of the Sehmet cult, Seo Yu-ri and the others tried not to attack Alec as much as possible.
– Ugh!
-Fucking troll bastard...
-Damn, I can’t fight properly for fear of getting caught up in that guy.
-Even if it wasn’t for the order...
Even the infiltrators made strange noises, such as not being able to fight properly because Alec was nearby.
At the time, I was so busy that I didn’t think of it as crazy, but now when I think about it, I feel something strange.
“Isn’t that the attitude that you shouldn’t attack me?”
“....”
“And then you jump out and dive with me. Since I disappeared with that, there must be a slaughter party going on up there, right?”
Alec smiled and gestured.
“So what? The reason why the apostle raiders don’t touch me.”
“...”
“You don’t know. So he must have blown himself away to isolate me like this.”
If Alec’s memory is correct, the guy in front of him had a conversation with Yuri Seo.
-It doesn’t matter if you don’t kill it.
-The exact order is for healers not to inflict incurable wounds.
That means someone has been ordered by someone higher up in the Apostle Raiders not to touch Alec.
“Actually, it has been a question for a long time. Why was someone like you chosen by Sehmet?”
After hearing Alec’s words, Jeong-jin opened his mouth.
“And now I have another question.”
“Another question?”
“Why does Shin Yu-jun care about you?”
“It was that bastard, too.”
Alec clicked his tongue in disgust.
‘In this situation, Shin Yu-jun is the only one who can give the troublesome order not to touch me.’
I don’t know why, but Shin Yoo-jun wants to send Alec to Earth.
In other words, there is no way they can just kill Alec or whatever.
“Anyway, it’s not a very important story, so let’s move on. The mission we received is to destroy the sanctuary of Sehmet’s temple and capture the ‘Macheolhyun’ and throw it in another area.”
“I am not Ma Cheol-hyun. It’s Alec Drit.”
“I don’t know the identity of that skill, but seeing that you’re not using blood magic right now, it seems like you can’t fight properly right after using that skill.”
“Did you even peek at my status window? Why do you know so well?”
“Please stay asleep until this is over.”
Jeong-jin said that and tried to swing the sword that emitted cold air.
“refuse.”
At that moment, Alec smiled.
Caang!
I created [Blood Flow – Helven] from my hand and attacked his sword.
“...!”
The reason Alec was deliberately wasting time talking to him was because he was waiting for his colleague.
“If you rest even a little, you can fight for a while.”
It was to give the body some time to recover.
