Subscriber of the Gods Episode 288
Episode 288. Great Achievement
“This is impossible.”
An old man with white hair and a white beard that reached down to his back, dressed in a crimson robe, his fists clenched and shaking.
His true identity was a man named Noticard, one of the highest ranking officials of the Rosicrucian Order.
He was seeing everything from beyond the wall.
While he was releasing the seal of the six demons and carrying out his plan, he saw an unbelievable scene beyond this wall.
“That’s ridiculous… …. How can he still be alive at that age? He should have died a long time ago. What the author is holding is clearly ritual magic created by our organization… ….”
It was also one of the first spells created, one that was virtually doomed to failure.
“What on earth is going on?”
There was only one conclusion.
It held up.
That body, that mighty body born with the magic of that mighty consciousness, endured.
“Nonsense…….”
Even if he died, he should have died hundreds of times before. It was surprising that he was still alive, but what was more surprising was that he was able to obtain that much power while holding that magic.
As a top Rosicrucian who was deeply involved in creating the Extinction, he knew better than anyone that it was impossible.
“No, no. That means, that we have endured, that we have found a vessel for our god! A perfect vessel!”
But at the same time, another thought occurred to me.
Noticard had dedicated his entire life to improving extinctionism, so he knew that the original ritual would never succeed.
“Has it already descended…? A part of God?”
When I thought about it that way, all the pieces fit together.
“You have to go out and check it yourself right now… … .”
Then, all of a sudden, the wall was shattered.
Boom-!
“You were hiding here.”
As Ethan broke through the wall and climbed over, Noticard fell flat on his face before him.
“My God, I am Noticard, your faithful servant.”
Ethan looked at the Noti Card with a momentary bewilderment, then swung his Demon Slayer sword and cut down the Noti Card.
* * *
When we broke down the wall and went in, there was an old man with white hair inside.
It was an old man wearing a robe with a rose cross symbol on it, and he fell prostrate as soon as he saw Ethan.
“What are you talking about?”
Since there were more than one or two suspicious parts, Ethan swung his Demon Slayer sword and cut down the old man.
Every time I used Demon Slayer, it consumed a lot of yin energy in my body, but I still had a lot of yin energy left, so I had no trouble using it.
“Kwaaak!”
Noticard, who was cut by Demon Slayer, screamed and touched his own neck.
“Father, stay with me… … .”
“It’s not a ghost.”
The Demon Slayer Sword was a sword that cut down ghosts, so it was ineffective unless it was a ghost or something similar.
“It’s nice to meet you. I have so many questions to ask you.”
Ethan smiled brightly.
I never would have thought that a member of the Rosicrucian Order would come into my hands so easily.
‘I thought it might take quite some time.’
If I couldn’t find them, I was thinking of going to the Dawn Meeting’s headquarters and just extracting information.
Now that it had come to this, I thought it would be okay to change the plan.
“Oh, God… … We were ignorant. We didn’t even know that God had already come down. We were in despair. But even that despair was a trial. Did we overcome the trial?”
“… … .”
Ethan looked puzzled as the old man spouted out words while lying face down.
‘God? What are you talking about?’
Bam-.
Ethan first knocked him unconscious by cutting his neck.
We planned to move to a more appropriate location and ask questions separately.
Then he returned to Cesare, who had been struggling to somehow escape Ethan’s influence.
“Eternal life isn’t all that great.”
Ethan picked up the Demon Slayer sword.
“I will remember… … I will remember forever! I will kill all those who are connected to you with eternal life! I will never spare those whose blood is mixed with yours!”
“Okay.”
Ethan chuckled.
“If you can.”
Then he thrust the Demon Slayer sword directly into Cesare’s heart.
‘It’s not like I can seal it.’
However, a stopgap measure can be put in place.
“Ugh… … gasp.”
Even if it couldn’t be sealed, it was possible to control the power until the bastard was sealed.
As he pierced Cesare’s heart with the Demon Slayer Sword and released his power, numerous notification windows began to pop up in front of Ethan.
-You have cleared the quest!
-You have cleared a quest that will astonish the world.
-Perfect Clear! Rewards are enhanced!
-Your reputation will rise dramatically!
-You have accomplished a great feat!
– You received likes for completing the [Continent’s Savior] achievement.
– Got ’30’ likes.
– You have received a great reward.
The achievement earned Ethan a whopping 30 likes.
The 6 Demon Quest was a main storyline and the final stage of one of the most important main scenarios.
It was only natural that I would receive this reward since I had neutralized Cesare, one of the bosses of that scenario.
‘That’s crazy. 30 likes? It’s an achievement that can only be achieved in the latter half of the scenario, but I never thought I’d get 30 likes.’
The Savior of the Continent achievement was an achievement that could only be obtained at the end of the scenario, and it could only be obtained by defeating an enemy that was strong enough to destroy the continent.
Even if we were to say that the enemies were of that level, they were only the six demons and the three highest-ranking apostles among the followers of the moon.
‘And this opposing achievement was the betrayal of the continent, perhaps.’
It was an achievement that could be obtained by killing the hero of the continent. Of course, if you went with that scenario, there would be no way back and you would have no choice but to move towards the destruction of the continent.
‘Did I unintentionally save the continent?’
The idea was to gain the support of the people by handling the work of the underground mines, but unexpectedly, things went in a different direction.
‘Because the maximum number of likes I got before was 20.’
This was 10 more likes than the 20 I got for treating Princess Evangeline.
‘It was worth the effort.’
Ethan then checked the enhanced rewards.
-You have obtained the Abyssal Darkness Stone.
“I thought I could get it around here. As expected, they’re giving it to me.”
The Abyssal Darkness Stone was an item that contained the power of the Great Demon, and its usage was simple.
Bam-.
Ethan immediately broke the Abyssal Darkness Stone.
At the same time, the power of the Abyssal Darkness Stone began to enter Ethan’s body.
‘We must beware of extinction.’
If you’re not careful, the extinction effect could swallow up this absorbed power and destroy it.
-The abyssal darkness seeps into your body.
– Darkness attack resistance increases by 90%!
‘oh.’
Ethan was momentarily surprised. The original effect of this Abyssal Darkness Stone was to grant resistance to dark attacks, with the increase randomly determined between 50% and 90%.
Even if it were just 50 percent, it would be enough to reduce the damage by half, so it could be seen as a tremendous effect.
Because the attacks of the numerous dark monsters on the continent are only half effective against Ethan.
However, the increased value was a whopping 90 percent of the resistance.
‘Is it because of the yin?’
This lingering negative energy that has not yet disappeared. It is gradually fading away, but this negative energy definitely played a big role in this incident.
“I feel once again how great the power of the invisible man is.”
I used Shinsegae so often that I forgot, but everyone who runs a channel in Shinsegae is a god.
‘What incredible abilities.’
Ethan smiled happily.
-Slightly increases survival chances.
The survival probability also increased slightly.
After checking the achievements and rewards, Ethan went straight to the white-haired old man.
‘He is the most important person.’
The one who has the answer to solving the extinction problem without having to meet the saint.
And he was someone who had the potential to completely turn the main scenario upside down.
Ethan first laid the old man down in a corner.
“Just in case you wake up.”
I cast a spell to make him fall into an even deeper sleep and hit his neck again.
“Break.”
“Hmm, I think I’ll wake up soon like this.”
Ethan made a potion on the spot.
-I made a sleeping potion!
“This is enough.”
After giving the old man some sleeping medicine and putting him to bed, Ethan went straight back to where Schudlen, Jericha, and the Archbishop were lying.
“I guess I should wake you up.”
Ethan put strength into his hands.
* * *
“Ugh!”
Schudlen suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Ethan! Ethan! Where are you! This Shudlen will stop… …!”
“It’s too late to wake up.”
Shudlen, who had been looking around anxiously, looked at Yeerika with a blank expression. Next to Yeerika was Ethan, and next to him, the Archbishop was recovering, breathing heavily.
“That evil spirit… … .”
“It’s already over. But since it’s a being that can’t be killed, someone at the level of the Pope or a Cardinal must come.”
“… … I must report to His Holiness the Pope as soon as possible and seal it properly. All I can do is block it for the time being. Since Ethan did that, all I can do is report it.”
“That’s enough.”
Ethan gave the archbishop a thumbs up as if praising him.
“Thank you for your hard work, Archbishop.”
“… … Bishop Ethan.”
While the two guards were unconscious, the Archbishop tried to maintain his consciousness. He repeatedly fainted and woke up, and in the process, he watched the fight between Ethan and Cesare, though dimly.
“I’m really sorry to say that.”
So the Archbishop said to Ethan with a puzzled face. This was not something worth reporting.
“I don’t know how to report this.”
Cesare, the Great Demon of Madness, one of the six demons who once brought the continent to the brink of destruction, has been released from his seal.
And it wasn’t just the seal that was broken.
Although it was imperfect, it still had a physical body, and it seemed that half of its strength had been restored.
I know because the Archbishop actually experienced it.
This was a problem for the entire continent. It was something that the powerful, including the Twelve Stars, had to solve, regardless of whether it was the Holy Empire or the Magic Empire.
But Ethan solved such a dangerous problem all by himself.
“If I report exactly what I saw… … uh, I might have to resign from my position as archbishop.”
What Ethan did was so unrealistic. It was so unrealistic that even the Archbishop himself thought that there might be a problem if he were to believe him.
Ethan smiled at the archbishop.
“You can report directly to His Holiness. Tell him that Ethan Wickers did this. He will nod his head without a doubt. The Archbishop will also be able to keep his current position and will be trusted even more from now on.”
“……yes?”
“Believe and do it.”
Ethan smiled.
“Then please take good care of the ending. The seal is the most important.”
“……yes.”
Ethan escaped the mine with his two escorts.
“Now, with this, this land becomes our land.”
It was a perfect first step.
‘I’ll take care of urgent matters first, and then I’ll come back down and check the rest later.’
Of course, Ethan still had some things to check.
‘We may discover a surefire way to solve the extinction problem.’
There may come a moment when we are certain of a cure for extinction disease, which until now had only been vaguely felt.
