Subscriber of the Gods Episode 125
Episode 125. Imir
Anisida summoned the fastest and most agile spirit that can be summoned.
He was the fastest among the wind spirits.
“Did you call?”
A spirit that looked like a cloud was summoned before Anisida.
“Save that young man, save that young man!”
Anisida shouted urgently.
I have to save Ethan. If I continue on my way, another one will die at the hands of his own sister.
“Okay, I understand… … Eek!”
The summoned spirit was immediately de-summoned by the intense lightning energy.
The Lightning Guardian was unleashing even more powerful force than usual during his fight with Ethan, so the Wind Spirit couldn’t hold out.
“shit!”
It was urgent. Ethan and the Lightning Guardian were on the verge of colliding.
“What are you doing! Your master is about to die! Didn’t you say you were going to be his escort?”
Anisida, who was unable to use her spirits, pressed Yeerika this time. Yeerika was clearly Ethan’s escort.
The escort is just watching his master’s crisis.
Are you paralyzed with fear from the shock just now?
If that’s the case, then you’re not qualified to be an escort.
Before Anisida could say anything else, Yeerika shook her head.
“no.”
“Yes,” said Yereka. There was not a trace of fear in her voice.
“You haven’t given the order to run yet. Ethan hasn’t given up yet.”
“Even after seeing that… … !”
Ethan was almost burned to a crisp by the Lightning Guardian’s lightning just now. If he hadn’t been so good at speaking, he would have died right then.
Anisida, who was becoming anxious, decided to summon the most powerful spirit among the ones she had contracted with.
Even though the body has recovered, it is not completely healed internally.
It was a bit of a stretch, but I had to do it to save Ethan.
“Please answer, Spirit King.”
When trying to summon the Spirit King like that.
Ethan spun around and started running towards the Lightning Guardian.
“Oh, are you crazy!”
How dare you charge straight into the Lightning Guardian when running away is not enough? And instead of pulling out his sword, it looked like he was going to shoot his arrow again.
The moment Anisida, embarrassed, raised both her hands.
The lightning in the Lightning Guardian’s hand moved first. Ethan still held his bow.
Phage, phage, phage!
A blinding flash of blue lightning spread out.
Anisida closed her eyes for a moment, but barely managed to squint them and try to look ahead.
And the results that are visible to those eyes are… … .
“oh my god…….”
Coming soon-. Coming soon-.
The Ochuma carrying Ethan slowed down and stopped in place.
He was clearly in danger of being struck by lightning, but he emerged unscathed, with no apparent injuries, except for a bright red burn on his chest.
“Ugh. Ugh.”
On the other hand, the Lightning Guardian who was accurately hit by an arrow had no choice but to drop the lightning he was holding.
It was a perfect victory for Ethan.
* * *
“Ymir!”
Anisida unconsciously called out her sister’s name. But it was no longer her sister.
Just a corrupted and insane lightning guardian.
However, in Anisida’s eyes, she still looked like the younger sister from back then.
As the little sister who always wanted to help her older brother.
“Hoooo.”
Ethan got off the Ochuma, breathing slowly.
Fatally wounded the fallen Lightning Guardian. This completely incapacitated the Lightning Guardian.
‘I couldn’t see the weakness with my eyes because the monsters’ disasters didn’t work on them.’
Information about her was overwhelming, so I was fully aware of her weaknesses.
-You have cleared the quest!
-Pass the lightning to the god of thunder!
-Achievement achieved!
-[100 Hits] You got likes by achieving achievements!
– Got ‘3’ likes!
– Stamina stat increases!
This time it was really dangerous.
‘If I hadn’t realized it at the end, I would have been fatally wounded and had to run away.’
However, thanks to the teachings of Hood and Jumong, I was able to clear the quest.
“Thank you for your hard work, Ochu.”
Ochuma grumbled a few times as if it was nothing and was then summoned back.
This marked the end of the quest.
By offering that lightning to the God of Thunder, he was able to ask for forgiveness from the God of Thunder, and Ethan, who took the lead in doing so, was able to become the new Guardian of Thunder.
‘This desolate Titi Valley will become habitable again, and Silk Valley will be rebuilt.’
So far, I’ve been completing quests like that.
However, Ethan believed that there was a way to perfectly clear this job quest, just like when he got his first job.
There was still something uneasy about it.
‘There’s something more. There’s got to be a more perfect way to clear the quest.’
Ethan immediately took out the flask and poured the remaining ingredients into it to begin making the herbal medicine.
When Ethan seemed to be trying to do something to Ymir, Anisida quickly ran over.
“The last one… …Can’t I send it to you?”
“Annie.”
Anisida looked at Ethan with an expression that looked like she was going to cry at any moment. Ethan spoke to Anisida with a calm expression.
“If you have any hidden ingredients, please hand them over immediately.”
“no way…….”
“Treatment is difficult. But it would be wrong to send my sister away like this, wouldn’t it? This will be the last time. Shouldn’t we say our final goodbyes?”
“Did you… think of me?”
“I had a close friend, although he wasn’t my biological brother. He passed away early due to illness, and I couldn’t even say hello. That really bothered me.”
It wasn’t Ethan’s fault.
It was when I was Yedam.
“It would be even more so for one’s own younger sibling.”
“I don’t even know your name yet… … Why are you like this… … .”
Despite completing this quest several times, Ethan has never once felt empathy for Anisida.
For Ethan, this was just a job quest to quickly get a job and maximize efficiency.
But now it was different.
‘It’s just for the quest.’
I wanted to allow him to at least say his final goodbyes.
“I have something. I hunted monsters before I came into the cave. I cleared them all out then.”
Yeerika gave Ethan the byproducts of the monsters.
And then Anisida came.
“Put this in.”
What he handed me was a piece.
“I crystallized my mana. I thought I would die inside it, so I made these little by little.”
Ethan accepted the piece he handed him.
“Really… … can I? Say goodbye to my little sister for the last time, I… … .”
“I can’t give a definitive answer to that. Whether I can or not, I just focus on treating the patient in front of me.”
“… … .”
“That’s what I learned from my teacher.”
Ethan started making a decoction.
‘You just have to suppress your madness.’
She is now in the grip of madness caused by the spirit of darkness. So all we need to do is give her an antidote and that will be resolved.
Instead, it had to be a herbal medicine that had the effect of overcoming darkness.
Ethan focused.
I thought of Imir, the patient in front of me, who was drenched in madness.
Tiring-!
-I made a madness detox decoction!
-Rating in progress… … .
-Madness Detox Herbal Medicine [S-Rank]
-Heoryu Tangyak-sul 2/10
This was the second S-rank I saw after receiving the Master Quest.
Ethan immediately fed the herbal medicine to Ymir. Ymir’s body jerked greatly and then opened his eyes.
The eyes that had been bloodshot and mad just a moment ago had returned to green.
“Ymir, Ymir. It’s me, my poor brother.”
“……brother?”
Ymir looked at Anisida. Anisida burst into tears.
Imir made a pained expression as if all the memories were coming back.
“I tried to do well.”
Imir said.
“It didn’t work out. I’m sorry, Oppa. I’m really sorry.”
Anisida had a lot to say.
I wanted to spit out words of resentment to her.
Why did you do that? Why did you make that choice? Don’t you know how dangerous the dark spirit is? Why did you make a deal with such a guy?
But all those words were swallowed. Anisida simply hugged Imir.
That was enough.
Tiring-!
[The God of Thunder is pleased with your good deeds.]
[The God of Thunder grants you the blessing of lightning!]
[You have completed the quest perfectly!]
[Rewards are enhanced!]
– The side quest [Anishida’s Regret] has been cleared as well.
– You have received additional rewards.
As Ethan had thought, there was a slightly better way to clear this job quest. It was to remove the regret of the quest’s owner, Anisida.
And to vent the wrath of the angry god of thunder by other means than killing the guardian of lightning.
‘They say the god of thunder was angry, but it wasn’t something he did on his own.’
The Lightning Guardian is a person chosen by the God of Thunder to be his guardian.
So, rather than killing her, incapacitating her through some other means was the best option to appease the wrath of the God of Thunder.
[I got the

‘done.’
Now that we have a balance of both offense and defense, all that’s left is to get some additional rewards.
‘It’s always fun.’
“You saved me.”
Ymir staggered to her feet when she saw Ethan. Even now, her life was fading away. She needed to spend some time with her brother.
“Don’t get up. Stay with me a little longer.”
“It’s okay. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to talk to you with such a clear mind. So I’ll repay your kindness in my own way.”
Ymir picked up the fallen lightning.
The lightning that had been flashing in her mad hands became silent, and upon reaching Imir, it transformed into a complete sword.
“To the next new Guardian of Lightning, I will teach you the swordsmanship of the Guardian of Lightning. I am sure the God of Thunder will wish for that.”
Ymir took a stance. He put his sword back into its scabbard and showed off his first skill, Thunder Strike.
This was the sword technique that attacked Ethan and Yeerika earlier.
It was similar to the art of drawing swordsmanship, but the lightning that struck with the lightning strike along with the speed of lightning was something that dared to go beyond the realm of swordsmanship.
Even the thunderbolt sword, which was shown after escaping from madness and returning to its original state, possessed the beauty of drawing a curve in an instant.
“I will teach you four techniques, including this Thunderbolt Strike.”
‘Four dogs?’
Ethan’s expression changed slightly.
So far, there are only two skills I’ve learned while getting this job.
Thunderbolt strike and thunderous roar.
Both of these skills were imbued with the power of the God of Thunder. But you’re giving me four techniques?
‘Is this additional compensation?’
Ethan smiled happily.
“And this.”
-I received compensation.
-[Thunderbolt Sword-Ymir] obtained.
“This is the mark of the Lightning Guardian. This sword is now yours, the new Lightning Guardian.”
Ethan completed his second career transition to Lightning Guardian.
