465. Disgust and fear
Faraaa!
The moment the light pierced the mist, the purple mist began to burn, enveloped in a silvery aura.
It was like a fire spreading.
{■■■■■■■!!!!!}
At the same time, an ear-piercing scream rang out, and the purple mist slowly dissipated.
thru.
After that, the fog that covered the space disappeared without a trace, and at the same time the [awe] that seemed to oppress the surrounding air also disappeared.
“They disappeared...”
[Achievement achieved!]
Puff!
Kim Ho-jeong sat down on the floor with a weak face.
It wasn’t like Alec or Min Soo-yeon was damaged by divine power, but it was the same that it was difficult to hold on to [awe] for a long time because my mental power was weaker than the two of them.
“Are you okay, Kim Ho-jung?”
“uh? Yeah... no.”
“Please tell me if it’s okay or not okay.”
“Then, since I’m still alive, I’ll do what’s good.”
Kim Ho-jung laughed helplessly and grabbed Kang Seung-hyun’s outstretched hand and stood up.
“I think it would be nice to have that mental recovery potion before, but...”
“I can’t take it out now.”
“It is true.”
“If it was that hard, you should have gone earlier.”
“But I’m sorry that I’m the only one going while Mr. Kang is fighting hard.”
“Oh you mean? Does that mean that the three people who ran away first are trash?”
“It’s not like that!”
“just joke.”
“I’m scared because Mr. Kang’s jokes are indistinguishable from serious conversations.”
Kim Ho-jung muttered with a face that was drained of energy and brushed off his crumpled robe.
“And I am a tank. Even if it doesn’t help much, you should stay until the end.”
“No, it helped me a lot.”
“huh? Didn’t you wipe it out without a chance to cheer for something in earnest?”
“That’s because this fight was easily won thanks to Mr. Kim Ho-jung.”
“Thanks to me?”
In fact, no matter how severely nerfed it is because it is in a dream, Ayver is the strongest god in Azul Continent at the moment.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been difficult to defeat him as easily as he is now.
Nevertheless, the reason why Kang Seung-hyeon was able to overwhelm him was because Ayver couldn’t stand up because he was afraid of the black beast that was mixed with Kim Ho-jeong here.
‘If I accidentally kill Kim Ho-jung, I’ll face the black beast.’
So, if Kim Ho-jeong had fled with the others, Iver would have been pressing Kang Seung-hyeon with stronger force, so it would have been impossible to defeat him without getting hurt like now.
“Because Kim Ho-jeong is a being that the gods hate. Just standing still is better than a fair amount of cheering.”
“I’m glad I was helpful, but somehow it’s sad...”
Kim Ho-jeong muttered with a sad face.
“I don’t think I did anything wrong to the gods. Why do you hate it so much?”
“Well... the feeling of hatred is based not only on simple anger, but also on the feeling of fear.”
“to? what?”
“...I’m afraid of Mr. Kim Ho-jung. the gods.”
“me? why?”
But that doesn’t mean we won’t just sit back and watch, so it’s better to clear the contaminated area as soon as possible before reorganizing and attacking.
“Then shall we go soon? I have no reason to be here anymore.”
“There is no reason not to be there.”
Conversely, it also meant that this was the last place where only the two of you could be together.
‘I should warn you.’
In the end, the most important fact that I found out for sure through today’s work wasn’t asking Ayver not to kill the manager.
-The Administrator is thoroughly hiding the existence of the Black Beast.
Words that normally cannot be spoken are said to be subject to ‘keyword restrictions’, and they told me that there was something, but they did not mention the black beast at all.
‘It’s suspicious that the two were sealed in the same way since the black beast has nothing to do with the current situation.’
Azul who sealed the black beast in the [Cube of Eternity], and Ayber who sealed Azul in the [Cube of Eternity] and other gods of later generations.
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but think that there is some connection between the two.
For example, since Aiber saw Azul sealing the black beast, he sealed Azul in the same way.
‘Crucially, when you see that the black beast is trying to hide its existence from the manager even when it has lost its sanity...’ This
means that if the manager finds out that he has been resurrected, he will not let him go at all costs.
[Blurry hatred]
[The moment □□ tries to observe it, it causes cognitive impairment.]
Now that I think about it, the ‘□□’ in the skill description was a phrase that meant ‘Azul’, the first god who sealed herself.
‘wait.’
At that time, a sense of incongruity passed through my head.
‘I’m in a dream right now... Why was I able to activate [Observation Eye]?’
Seunghyun Kang immediately tried to use another skill or [Eye of Observation], but it didn’t activate.
‘In the first place, [Hazy Hatred] is also a skill, right? This isn’t normal since it’s activated in the dream.’
Apparently, being able to use the skill instantly at that time may itself be the [Black Beast]’s special ability.
‘Well, that guy wasn’t an ordinary god either. So you were trying to give me information?’
That may mean that even now, after Kim Ho-jung has taken over the physical initiative, he is not completely unconscious.
‘Hide things about yourself from him...’
Kang Seung-hyun, who roughly organized his thoughts, spoke to Kim Ho-jung, who was standing beside him.
“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong.”
“huh?”
“Kim Ho-jung, don’t be alone with the manager.”
“What?”
At that moment, Kim Ho-jung remembered a clown doll ghost story he had heard the other day.
‘The shop owner told me never to leave a child alone with a doll while selling clown dolls, but I came out because of something urgent and then I remembered that I had left the child alone, so I ran home and there was no child, only the doll was left alone, so I was in despair. But at that moment, the clown doll grinned and said, “Are there only two left?” and it ends...!’
“I don’t know what else you’re thinking nonsense about.”
Kang Seung-hyun looked at Kim Ho-jung in a bewildered manner and continued talking.
“The manager is someone who takes advantage of others by being friendly. Aside from other people, hogu like Kim Ho-jeong are perfect prey, so don’t just talk to them at all.”
I don’t know what would happen if I accidentally spoke about the black beast while hanging around the manager or having a conversation.
“What is it
?
“I’d like to ask, ‘Why?’
Kim Ho-jeong laughed with a weak face and pointed to the arrow under her feet.
“Then let’s go back. I’m sure the other kids are worried too.”
“Maybe.”
“The manager showed the way out. If you follow this, it’s the door to the exit.”
“You really did everything.”
Kang Seung-hyeon followed Kim Ho-jung, who was leading the way.
