Episode 285. Lie Down
The power to rule over all ghosts.
The evil spirits in the underground mines were clearly no ordinary evil spirits.
‘They are called the greatest evil spirits among evil spirits.’
They looked like monsters, but they weren’t monsters.
‘Taming skills won’t work.’
In that case, it was highly likely that the power of Bihyeongrang, who controls ghosts, would be effective.
Ethan watched the video intently.
-But this power is not something that can be passed on even if you want to pass it on. It is a power that has been naturally present in my body since the beginning.
As Bihyeongrang let out a breath, thousands of ghosts disappeared in an instant.
– In short, you need innate strength. This is what innate strength is.
As he let out a deep breath, a blast of cold air came out, freezing the river beneath the bridge.
-Yin Qi. In order to control ghosts, you must be born with this power.
“what.”
Ethan currently had a giant fox bead inside his body. This fox bead had grown considerably under the influence of Ethan’s yin energy and extinction, and it was in a state where it was able to smoothly use the nine-tailed fox magic he had learned from the nine-tailed fox.
‘It’s true that the extinction is infinitely great if we consider it as a negative energy. With this, I think I can use the power of the Bihyeongrang too?’
Bihyeongrang probably thought that there was no one born with the same amount of yin energy as he did. So he seemed to be trying to show just what kind of power he possessed.
Even if I tell you, if you don’t have that much skill, you won’t be able to follow along.
He immediately passed on his power.
-I learned the power of hearing.
-Added Skill: Ghostly Power (S)
-If you have enough yin energy, you can use this power. With this power, you will have eyes that can see ghosts and interfere with them.
With those words, Bihyeongrang raised his spirit and a purple energy filled his entire body. Then, a ghost appeared behind Bihyeongrang’s back, and when Bihyeongrang snapped his fingers and used his spirit, the ghost’s body dispersed like fog.
-This is interference. It doesn’t matter how strong the ghost in front of you is. You can make all the ghosts kneel.
‘Wow! The power to completely subdue ghosts with just a snap of your fingers.’
I began to clearly understand the difference between the nine-tailed fox and the goblin.
– But this doesn’t work on very high-level ghosts. Those with great power simply deflect interference. Usually, the names of such people have the word “Great” in front of them. They’re called “Great Yokai” or “Great Demons”.
As he said that, Bihyeongrang smiled brightly.
‘This is really creepy.’
Ethan had seen many unpleasant people, but this was the first time he had seen someone as creepy as Bihyeongrang. He certainly looked normal on the outside, but his overall atmosphere and eyes were particularly creepy.
‘That’s why even ghosts can’t help but be scared.’
I felt like I had discovered the source of his strength.
Shaaaaaaaaaaah-!
-But even those guys cannot stand before me. I am the king of all ghosts, the ghost of ghosts.
The power he had gathered in Bihyeongrang’s hands began to gradually take shape.
Eventually, what he was holding in his hand was a sword.
-Demon Slayer. With this sword made with my power, any demon can be brought to their knees. Of course, if you have the yin energy to use this power.
-I learned Demon Slayer.
-Added Skill: Demon Slayer (S)
Ethan learned the Demonic Power and Demon Slayer Sword from the video of the merger of the Bihyeongrang. Both were S-rank techniques, as high-ranking as the techniques of the gods.
“The preparations are complete.”
* * *
Entrance to the underground mine.
People dressed in pure white were gathered in front of the entrance.
There was an archbishop of the Holy Light Church and several bishops who followed him.
“Goddess, please give me strength.”
The archbishop’s blessing was different from the bishop’s blessing.
A powerful and holy power was imbued into the bodies and maces of the bishops.
“The situation is urgent, bishops. Our brother may be suffering inside. The goddess is watching over him, so he will not lose his life. Therefore, we must go as soon as possible.”
“Is it okay if I don’t tell the lord?”
“The situation is urgent, so I hope you understand. Let’s go in. I will go ahead, so you bishops, please stay behind.”
“Yes, Archbishop!”
The Archbishop of the Holy Light Church and his party entered the underground mine.
The mine was immediately filled with a dark red poison from the inside, so they swung their maces imbued with holy power to dispel the poison.
The poison that had clung to the floor, walls, and ceiling of the underground mine was purified by the holy power contained in the mace.
“As expected, you are the Archbishop.”
“Don’t relax, everyone. I feel a powerful force within me. A wicked and evil force.”
But the archbishop was quite nervous.
As soon as I entered the underground mine, I could feel it. The powerful energy felt from inside.
The archbishop suddenly looked at his hands.
Excited sweat. And then there was the constant, tingling headache.
On the other hand, the bishops felt less discomfort right away. The more they knew, the more they could see, and their divine power was not high enough to sense the mighty one within them.
As we continued the purification process and went further in, the poison became even stronger.
“There is something inside.”
The bishops gulped at the archbishop’s words.
“More holy light.”
“Holy Light!”
“Holy Light!”
At the archbishop’s signal, the bishops raised their maces and released a sacred aura.
Then a sacred curtain appeared around the archbishop and his party.
“… … You are much more powerful than those who came before. You in particular… … are wonderful, with great strength. I would like to take you as my body.”
“Bishop Rahim… … .”
The one who walked out from inside was a bishop of the Holy Light Church.
His skin was completely soaked in poison and turned a deep red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was continuously spitting out a deep red poison that was as thick as a mine.
Wheaaa …
As soon as the evil spirit that had taken over Bishop Rahim’s body raised its hand, the poisonous air from the mine turned into a spear and shot out.
Pavababak-!
However, the barrier created by divine power could not be broken through.
“Bishop Rahim has completely lost control of his body. We must bring him into this sanctuary. Only then can he be saved.”
“Yes, Archbishop.”
They were nervous, but confident, because they had just seen the power of this sacred barrier to neutralize the poison.
And above all, there was a strong archbishop right in front of him.
“It seems that the… God you believe in… is giving you quite a bit of power.”
The evil spirit that had taken over Bishop Rahim’s body shot its venom at the Archbishop once again. It was a powerful ball of venom.
“!”
The archbishop, momentarily flustered, hurriedly exploded with the divine power of his entire body. If he hesitated even for a moment, all the bishops standing behind him could have died.
But even with the quick response, the damage could not be avoided. The archbishop was not killed, but was instead poisoned.
The archbishop groaned as he was covered in poison.
“Yes, you… … you… … !”
This powerful force is difficult to handle.
The archbishop had a rough idea of his identity.
“The Great Demon… … The Mad Demon Cesare… … ! You must have been sealed… … How could you be sealed… … .”
“It was quite… … a strong seal. But… … I overcame it. Now there is nothing that can stop me. Together with the bishops… … I will take your power and be resurrected anew… …!”
Kwaaaaang-!
The poison has spread.
* * *
Entrance to the underground mine.
It was clearly the entrance to a mine that should be full of poison, but when I actually got there, there wasn’t much poison left.
“Who do you think passed first? There’s a lot of divine power left.”
“I guess so. The Archbishop said he would come, but he’s already gone ahead? If that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to hurry.”
“I don’t think someone like the Archbishop of the Holy Light Church would be easily overcome by evil spirits.”
“That would be the case for any evil spirit.”
Ethan answered Yereka’s words.
“If Ethan can say that… … how strong is the evil spirit inside you?”
“If we don’t go quickly, the Archbishop’s life will be in danger.”
Ethan took the lead.
The inside of the underground mine, like the entrance, had been largely cleared of poison. However, it was once again being stained with poison flowing out from inside.
“We will take the lead!”
“No, it’s more efficient for me to stand in front. These poisons take effect the moment they’re consumed.”
Ethan shook his head at Shudlen’s words. The Eye of Horus and the fox orb inside his body were revealing the true nature of this poison.
‘It’s laced with magic. It’s a poison that causes confusion and madness. It’s a poison that instills a destructive instinct that will destroy everything around you and make you lose your reason when you touch it.’
Thump- thump-.
The fox bead I got from the nine-tailed fox beat like a heart.
“There’s someone inside.”
“Eww-!”
As Ethan spoke, a terrifying scream was heard.
As we ran, we saw the bishops of the Holy Light Church lying on the ground, eroded by the poison, and the archbishop hanging from the ceiling with his hands tied by the poison, on the verge of erosion.
The groaning archbishop turned his head, and for a moment his eyes met Ethan’s.
“Eh, Ethan… … Sir! Honorary Bishop! Run away now, now! This is not a man that can be dealt with by a small number of people… …!”
At the Archbishop’s words, Ethan and his group’s gaze turned towards the Archbishop.
A crimson poisonous human who borrows the body of a bishop of the Holy Light Church.
Ethan’s group met his gaze.
“We must ask for support from the Holy See… … the Cardinal and the other archbishops… … We also need the help of the Inquisitors… … ! I am fine, so hurry, hurry and run away!”
The archbishop cried out that he was fine and that they should run away quickly.
“Self-sacrifice… … How noble… … Hahaha… … Hahahaha… … .”
The poisonous man turned his head to look at the archbishop, then turned his head again to look at Ethan and his group.
“But it’s already too late… … Do you think I can escape…?”
Shaaaaaaaaaaah-!
In an instant, a tremendous amount of poison spread in all directions.
Shudlen and Yeriqa instinctively released all their mana. If they had reacted even a little too late, they might have lost their minds.
“… … !”
Only then did Schudlen and Yeerika realize just how strong that poisonous man was.
“It’s not yet time for the resurrection… … Hurry up before the complete resurrection!”
Even this isn’t 100 percent power.
For a moment, the same thought as the Archbishop came into the minds of the two escorts.
“The two of us will hold it off.”
“Ethan!”
Two escorts jumped straight ahead.
Ethan looked at the two escorts with a puzzled expression.
“What are you two doing?”
After saying that, he pushed Schudlen and Yerika’s shoulders and moved forward.
“I told you before. There’s a strong guy inside.”
Ethan wasn’t at all flustered because he came in already knowing everything.
“Oh, no! Run away, you have to run away.”
The archbishop spoke urgently.
Ethan continued walking forward.
Cesare, the poisonous human and mad demon, looked at Ethan, who was approaching with interest.
But as Ethan approached step by step, he soon felt an unknown power.
“You have to run away! You have to… run… away… ?”
The weeping archbishop also felt strange.
“You, you… … you!”
Cesare shouted urgently as he felt an unprecedented force squeezing his neck.
The powerful demonic power that emanated from Ethan’s body crushed the body of the great evil spirit Cesare.
“Get down.”
