Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 719

I barely blinked once, but the whispers of Ephaga that I had heard in my ears and the sensation of divinity seeping into my entire body disappeared without a trace.

However, the changes I felt in my body proved that I was not seeing things because I was drunk on divine power. The divine power that had been running wildly suddenly stabilized, and at the same time, the power I could draw out was drastically reduced.

If you look at it alone, the situation may seem bad, but the reality is completely different. If the reckless driver was just a cheap scooter with a jet engine attached and having a chicken race, then I am now riding in a perfectly fine car.

If I had to describe the difference in physical burden in words, it would be like that, and the mental burden is like the difference between drinking seawater against my will and drinking clean water. The brain that was judging the situation against my will seemed to have disappeared somewhere, and the sensation that gave me a headache from taking in all kinds of information was downgraded to just the right level.

Up until now, I had been stuck in a situation where I could only drive straight ahead, wondering if the jet engine would fall off first or if the scooter would be destroyed. Now that I can drive safely and soundly, it would be strange not to feel like life is worth living. It was a little awkward because my connection with Este seemed stronger than before… but now, I was literally ‘me’.

I feel more confident after testing the divine power I feel just in case.

This is worth doing.

As I judged this, I realized once again how crazy the things I had done were, and without hesitation I jumped towards the Demon King who was looking down at me with an arrogant expression.

The sight of the sword made with the power of the evil god and the attack of the bastard rushing in between the still living erosion creatures is dizzying. Just a moment ago, I could have just cut them down and charged forward, but I can’t display that ability right now.

However, through the ‘real sanctuary’, you can block the movements of those who are buffed and running wild on the sanctuary of the evil god. It was nothing more than a very close fight that changed to an ordinary close fight, but now this is enough.

“Protect the priests and keep the darkness in check! Do not approach recklessly! You will be infected!”

“Secure the civilians!”

“Shield Soldiers, advance! Don’t even think about direct engagement with the erosion!”

Unlike the Demon King, I wasn’t alone.

The Demon King’s brow furrowed again at the sight of soldiers and dragon knights appearing with various spirits according to the ritual. He tried to interfere with them by moving his fingers without hesitation, but I had already broken through the obstacles and flew up to his nose, and I stabbed Este deep into his heart, so he failed to achieve his goal.

But the attitude is still calm, just the direction has changed. The same attitude from beginning to end was so arrogant that it was annoying, but this time I endured it.

[Crash!]

Thanks to you, my surprise gift arrived safely.

Screams and embarrassment

It was a completely different reaction than before, but it was the reaction I expected. I didn’t miss that gap and turned the thing floating in the sky upside down, and placed it under my feet. The thing’s face showed shock and doubt.

That alone was satisfying enough, but the fight was just beginning.

“Can’t you act like you have all the free time in the world by yourself now?”

It will probably feel like a hot burning sensation near your heart.

Instead of losing the ability to run wild, I figured out a way to make the guy eat me with the divine power that flows through Este like the divine power of an evil god eating people.

It’s still just a prototype, but it’s enough for now. As expected, the Demon King, who was frowning, started to struggle to somehow extract Este.

Although the remnants of the evil spirits that remained, unrelated to the bastard’s control, were still running wild and targeting me, I gritted my teeth and held on, thinking it would be better to get hit by them than to leave the bastard, who could devastate the surrounding area with just one swing of his arm.

My goal wasn’t to make the Demon King shit, but to sever the connection and prevent him from continuing his acts of destruction. Fortunately, the Dragon Armor and Luming’s helmet did their job resolutely even in the midst of the evil spirits’ attacks, and all the while, the Demon King’s face, which had been steadily rotting away, seemed to sense something and was filled with rage.

[You bastard···!]

I see. Well, it was a natural result, since he was much more skilled at using his power than I was.

“I don’t like chewing chews.”

But even so, it is only a fragment and even so, it is only remote. It is already too late to try to do anything about the divine power that has permeated my body.

[Okay, master!]

The Este embedded in the heart announced that it had succeeded in completely cutting off the connection points with the abyss-like entity, and at the same time, it began to tear apart and absorb the divine power contained within the entity. As the efficiency increased, the speed was incomparable to before, and as a result, the Demon King’s methods of dealing with me also quickly disappeared.

The Demon King, who was unable to shake me off even while I held onto Este tightly with only my left hand and pulled out the cheap daggers from my waist and stabbed them into his body three times, breaking them, must have chosen to scatter his body and then reassemble it.

The reason it is not ‘was·’ is because the attempt was only half successful.

Only the limbs were scattered, leaving the head and torso behind. Rather, the Demon King, who was unable to put up any resistance because his hands and feet were gone, was still held by Este and was getting closer to the ground. It seems that he was unable to realize that the daggers and Este embedded in his body were acting as a kind of stake, hindering the gathering of divine power.

I really liked the sight of it, it reminded me of a vampire, but that doesn’t mean I’m relaxed either.

Even though I had worked hard to cut off the evil spirit’s divine power and prepare myself, the evil spirit’s energy flowing back was starting to take its toll on my body. Fortunately, the bastard would reach his limit before me, but I could instinctively sense that it wasn’t something I could just lie down for a day or two and be done with.

There are many people who can be confused, and this happens in this place.

Was it because I tried to neutralize it by pouring in more divine power? When the Demon King finally regained his limbs, he and I had already become one and were pinned to the floor with a strong impact.

The first thing that gathered around me and the Demon King who fell with a loud noise was the divine power of the evil god that was rippling blackly along with thick dust.

Whether it was to help the Demon King or to fill its stomach by eating the host, its movements were extremely unpleasant and repulsive. Unlike the sanctuary of the good gods, the sanctuary of the evil gods, where all kinds of diseases seemed to be alive and writhing, approached me at a fast speed, but soon collided with the sanctuary I was creating and faded away in vain.

In that way, where the divine power of the evil god disappeared, an ordinary city street began to appear, but I could not let my guard down. Apart from the certainty of the effect, the divine power that had been in my body disappeared in proportion to the amount of the evil god’s sanctuary that disappeared.

I don’t know if it was an inefficient exchange due to my lack of ability or if it was originally like this, but it wasn’t a good thing. Even for me now, it’s dangerous to stand on the evil god’s sanctuary without divine power.

Above all, the city was dangerous. Even if I had the means to somehow escape to a safe place, the fighting Levien troops and civilians were not. If I didn’t help neutralize this guy and eliminate the evil spirit’s sanctuary, the damage caused by the sanctuary would spread even further.

A moment to focus once again to prevent the worst from happening

[I remembered]

Suddenly, after a long silence, the Demon King spoke with restrained emotion.

He didn’t add any extra details or say anything like a third-rate villain. He just glared at me as if I was the enemy of his ancestors, and then suddenly lowered his head like a puppet whose strings had snapped.

“Krrrrrrr···”

But the only thing that was cut off was the connection with the Demon King.

As soon as the guy disappears, his body, completely under the influence of the evil spirit, starts to convulse and twist. The evil spirit’s magic power, which had been quiet until now, starts to run wild, and the disgusting evil spirit’s divinity overflows outward, making it impossible to understand how he could have endured it all this time while pretending to be ordinary.

“You damn Demon King… You damn dog…”

The original owner of the body, who had regained his senses for a very brief moment, was unable to control his swollen and twisted body. He moved his eyes and mouth to assess the situation, and let out a short curse, but before he could do so, his breath died.

At the same time, a strange sound rang out throughout the evil spirit’s sanctuary, and the eroding bodies burst out for no reason.

“What the fuck is this situation?”

It would have been nice if the situation had ended like this, but what I saw as I was able to look more closely at the flow of things around me was a hint that something new was happening.

The blood and flesh of the burst eroded bodies began to gather together in one place.

A Word from the Author (Author’s Note)

These days, I often finish my writings in a rush, so it’s a big problem.

I’ll sleep a little today and check for typos.
