Chapter 51: All-Cutting Heavenly Sword's Treasury
Ruuumble!
A clash between demonic armor and muscle armor!
“Uuwoooggh—!”
However, I was the one being pushed back.
I staggered backward, leaving a huge crater in the ground. On the other hand, Johan stood firm, unmoving like an iron wall.
Tzzz!
Moreover, after touching the demonic armor, my shoulder blistered as if burned.
Ugh, what’s this?
My skill appraised it.
[The God of Destroyer’s demonic armor is engraved with a searing curse. Your health and fire resistance will decrease continuously.]
A searing curse?
When he saw me panicking, Johan grinned.
“Brother, hold your breath. Sword of Destruction, come forth!”
Woooong!
Then, a sword manifested in his hand. It emitted a red beam, just like lightsabers in Star Wars. Johan smirked, brandishing the sword.
“Brother, feel the might of God.”
Slaaash!
A crescent-shaped sword qi flew toward me! And it wasn’t just one!
“Ack!”
In an attempt to dodge all the sword qi, I twisted my body in all directions, but there were simply too many of them!
Slash!
I missed one of those sword qi and suffered a diagonal slash across my torso! Thankfully, due to Il-Ho’s Strong Body, it wasn’t fatal, but...
[You have been afflicted with putrefying poison on the God of Destroyer’s Sword of Destruction. Your wound has begun to fester.]
“Cough!”
Thud!
Groaning, I fell to my knees. Pus leaked from the wound on my chest.
Argh, I can’t move at all...
Clunk clunk!
The fully armored Johan charged toward me. He let out a heavy grunt, imposing his momentum on me. Even scarier was the dangling piece of meat on his lower half.
“Bastard, not one step closer! Stay away from Mr. Sword God or die by my sword!” roared Sword Demon.
Despite being in such a grievous state himself, he still stood in front of me. Madness flickered in the eyes of the dying man.
But to our enemy, we must’ve seemed like reckless small fries.
“Worthless insects.”
Johan wielded his lightsaber, amplifying the sword qi.
“Hyaaa—!”
Sword Demon yelled, swinging his sword at the rutilant sword qi lunging toward us—but it was futile.
His sword shattered into pieces.
“Aaargh—!”
Sword demon let out a scream as blood spurted from his newly inflicted injury.
Ssss—
He fell face first to the ground, oozing putrid black blood.
“Mr. Sword Demon!”
The man wouldn’t respond to my call. Was he done for?
“A fitting end for an insect.” Johan sneered.
“You bastard!” I raised my middle finger at Johan.
He frowned, thinking that I was swearing at him.
“Are you insulting—?”
“Convicting Middle Finger of God!”
Poof!
My skill activated, and a black flame the size of my thumb flew toward the pervert.
“Hmph. What are you trying to do with such a weak flame?” Johan swatted the flame with annoyance.
I smiled with satisfaction at his reaction.
I got him!
I recalled the phrase that appeared when I first acquired this skill.
-----
[Convicting Middle Finger of God]
Category: Innate Power
Description: Yu Il-Shin’s innate power, activated with hellfire and 100,000 sacrifices.
The mighty Yu Il-Shin speaketh, "I’m the arbiter of all evil! Those who go against me will burn in the fires of hell!”
-----
As per the description, the flame from my skill ruled and judged all evil.
“Hm?”
Almost immediately, the black flame seared Johan’s arm.
“Huh?! Aaahhh!”
For the first time, fear appeared on Johan’s face. This pervert was the biggest scum among everyone I’d ever met. And sure enough, my flame caught onto his evil deeds. It grew in size, burning more fiercely as it threatened to devour him whole.
“Eek!”
Slash!
Out of panic, Johan cut off his own arm with his demonic sword.
“Is it over?”
Heck, I hadn’t even transmigrated yet, but here I was, single-handedly going up against an evil organization. I didn’t want a repeat of this. I was obviously not made for this. I didn’t want to be a hero! I just wanted to write a story where heroes did great things!
“Oh, right, I have a deadline to rush.” I dropped an email and went off the grid. My editor-in-charge must be out for my blood right now. I needed to think about what excuse to use this time.
Wooong!
All of a sudden, my phone vibrated. Speak of the devil! I glanced at it, but it wasn’t my editor-in-charge. Nor was it my phone.
“...?”
Instead, the epicenter of the vibration was at my feet. It was from the blood-red magic circle that had swallowed the corpses earlier.
Tzzzz!
It glowed with light that was much more sinister than before.
W-what’s that?
At the same time, my stalkers chimed in.
[Infinite Abundance shouted that it was a breach of contract!]
[All-Cutting Heavenly Sword watches the current situation with interest.]
[Silently Crawling Nightmare warns you to run from that place right away.]
[Eternal Seeker glares at “???” with resentment.]
-Grrr...
A bizarre sound came from the blood-red magic circle. An ethereal sensation, brimming with malice, greed, and starvation surged in me. Reflexively, I tried to fend off the overwhelming fear, only to suffer a splitting headache.
“Ugh!”
[Appraisal failed!]
[The level of Blind Eyes of God is too low.]
Thud thud thud! Creaaaak!
“Aaarrgh!”
A sound like something being forcibly ripped apart, accompanied by an earthquake, rang, and threatened to wreck my eardrums.
[Warning! Warning!]
[God of Destroyer “???” is forcefully breaking into Earth!]
Red characters, seemingly written in blood, floated up on the magic circle. Something black tried to emerge from it. I instinctively knew it was something that mustn’t be released into this world.
After all, would a “thing” that had devoured mountains of corpses as if they were nothing have any regard for human lives?
I had to stop it—but how?
“Crushing Forefinger of God!”
I tried to use my power on the magic circle.
[You failed. He’s a Top-tier God unaffected by Yu Il-Shin’s power.]
It didn’t work.
Crackkkk!
At the same time, what appeared to be a sharp, black blade emerged from the magic circle. It looked like the claws of a gigantic beast.
Riiiip!
As it forced its way through the magic circle, a portion of its massive eyeball peeked through the gap, burning like the sun.
-Grrrr!
Plop!
The moment I locked eyes with it, my entire body went limp, and I crumpled to the ground.
The “thing” was simply beyond human comprehension. In fact, it could very well be the real “God” or “Devil” that humans believed or worshiped. A real one, unlike the fake gods in the game I was playing.
Shiver!
I trembled uncontrollably, hyperventilating. I couldn’t even move due to the overwhelming fear and helplessness, let alone escape. Was this how an ant felt when facing a human?
Thus, I could only watch in devastation as the “thing” crawled out of the magic circle.
Am I going to die?
Ding ding!
[The innate power Blind Eyes of God has been activated.]
God-Maker reacted violently. I saw my ants, the Gayami tribe, in the Antrinia world. They were covered in unknown white powder, and were slowly dying one by one. And yet, that didn’t stop them from praying to me.
-God Yu Il-Shin, you mustn’t yield to the evil god! Please use my muscles!
-God Yu Il-Shin, please do not turn reticent! You are this servant’s only God. Please stay strong!
-O’ great and merciful God Yu Il-Shin, I pray for your victory!
The prayers from Il-Ho, Anty, and the rest of the Gayami tribe woke me up. Yes, I wasn’t alone.
“Huff! Huff!”
Puck! Puck!
Punching my legs, which had gone weak, I struggled to get on my feet. But the reality didn’t change. That “thing” wasn’t something I could easily take down. The sword in my backpack jerked violently, as if asking me to use it.
“No.”
I admired its confidence, but the enemy was on an entirely different level—one that a kitchen knife couldn’t wish to overcome.
But, if it’s the sword of a true god...
I looked up and said, “Mr. All-Cutting Heavenly Sword.”
[All-Cutting Heavenly Sword asked why you’re calling for him.]
“As per our deal, let me use your treasury.”
[All-Cutting Heavenly Sword twirls the tip of his sword roughly.]
Regardless, I glared at the monster that was about to emerge from the ground...
“Summon Heavenly Sword Treasury.”
I used it.
Ding!
[You have used one access to All-Cutting Heavenly Sword’s Heavenly Sword Treasury.]
[Heavenly Sword Treasury descends on Earth!]
Riiip!
Then, like an egg hatching, my world shattered.
