Subscriber of the Gods Episode 286
Episode 286. Purification
Cesare’s body was crushed to the floor by a powerful crushing force.
Cesare resisted strongly, pushing the ground with both arms, but his hands were trembling.
Soon, the powerful force pressing down from above finally pinned Cesare’s face to the ground.
Boom-!
“What, what is this… … .”
Cesare, who was pinned to the ground, was quite embarrassed.
Obviously Ethan didn’t do anything. He just said, “Lie down.”
“Oh, a word? No, that’s not it. This power… … .”
Just like the surprised Cesare, the tied up archbishop was also greatly embarrassed.
Cesare, the mad devil.
This is a great demon that is often mentioned when discussing the history of the Holy Light Church, and was one of the six demons that drove the continent to the brink of collapse in the past.
Although he is said to be the weakest of the six demons, he is still a true great demon.
It was said that it had such great power that it could overthrow a nation on its own, and that it was barely sealed with the extraordinary joint efforts of the Pope of the Holy Light Church and the heads of other religions at the time.
I heard that it has the power of immortality, so it cannot be killed and is sealed, but it is sealed so tightly that it cannot be released even after eons, so the demon cannot break the seal on his own.
The devil who was that dangerous was Cesare.
But Cesare was unable to control his body properly at Ethan’s single word.
Seeing himself lying humiliated on the ground, the Archbishop wondered if he was already dead.
“Cesare… … is so overwhelmed… …? With just one word… … ?”
Of course, the current Cesare was not in perfect condition. This was because he had not been completely resurrected. Nevertheless, the archbishop was completely overwhelmed by the imperfect Cesare.
But how could he subdue Cesare so easily?
Looking at that sight, I couldn’t help but think that I was definitely dead.
The Archbishop’s head was incapable of understanding the situation that Ethan had created.
“Euuuuuuuuuuuuu-!”
A tremendous humiliation.
Cesare squirmed in protest against Ethan’s command to lie down.
I tried to push the ground away with great force, but it didn’t work.
Shaaaaak-.
As Cesare exerted his strength, the poison that had spread everywhere began to be absorbed into his body.
“This is… this is ridiculous. Even if my strength hasn’t fully returned yet, this… this makes sense… .”
Cesare barely managed to get up after absorbing all the poison in the vicinity, and only then was he able to face Ethan head-on.
And soon he was astonished to see the power radiating from Ethan and what was inside his body.
“The power to place spiritual beings under your feet… … and the source of that power… … !”
Cesare looked into Ethan’s body and cried out in horror.
“A ritual for the primordial gods… … How is it that such power exists within you!”
Cesare shouted.
“And how can you withstand that power… … You are clearly neither a god nor a dragon. You are not a sacrifice for a ritual mixed with other races. And yet, how can you… … .”
“As expected, you’re holding up well.”
‘As expected of Cesare. He’s not one of the six demons for nothing. He’s not even in a resurrected state, and it seems he’s only briefly descended into a vessel, but his power is incredible.’
Cesare.
It was one of the strongest boss monsters on the continent that could be seen when riding the continent’s destruction scenario.
Of course, it wasn’t a simple monster, so it wasn’t easy to deal with.
The six demons that will destroy the continent will awaken, and if you don’t kill them, the continent will be destroyed.
The six demons, perfectly resurrected, were so powerful that no one could stop them, so in this scenario, everyone, regardless of country or group, had to join forces to barely resist.
‘The main quest was to help the Pope seal the demons one by one.’
But another thing that bothers me is that when this six demons scenario is played out, the followers of the moon don’t show up for some reason.
‘So I always thought it had something to do with you.’
My heart raced as I watched the Six Demons quest unfold before my eyes.
I’ve been struggling to survive, but out of nowhere, a quest to destroy the continent is about to begin.
‘Absolutely not.’
Kuuuuung-!
bang-!
Cesare overcame Ethan’s power and straightened his back. It seemed as if he was reabsorbing all of his power that had spread throughout the mine.
“Kkaaaaaaaaaah-!”
The poison that had bound the archbishop also escaped and was absorbed by Cesare.
“I can’t help it… … .”
Cesare’s eyes turned even redder.
“Even with an imperfect body, I can descend to this level. I can put in my original power.”
Kuguguguguguung-!
There was a loud noise again and again. Then it suddenly became quiet.
All the poison entered Bishop Rahim’s body and soon spread throughout Cesare’s body.
“shit…….”
The archbishop, who fell from the ceiling, realized that all the fallen bishops were dead. Cesare had sucked their life force along with his poison.
The archbishop turned his head and looked at Cesare. There was no turning back. Bishop Rahim’s body had become a vessel for Cesare’s resurrection.
“To be resurrected… … .”
A powerful wave.
The Archbishop’s divine power reacted to Cesare’s power and tried to resist it in some way, but was unable to overcome Cesare, who had descended through the vessel.
“Uh, Ethan… … .”
Suddenly, the Archbishop thought of Ethan. He had just managed to overpower Cesare, but it would not be easy any longer.
It was all too late. It wasn’t a perfect resurrection, but now that Cesare had decided to come back, it would be difficult to stop him.
Cesare knew it too, and he knew it well.
Suddenly, the positions were reversed, and Cesare looked down at Ethan with infinitely arrogant eyes.
Pitter-patter!
Giant wings sprouted from Cesare’s back. They were pitch-black and constantly spewed out dark red poison.
As soon as the wings spread, the three of them, except Ethan, found it virtually impossible to maintain their sanity.
“I can see it now. The source of the power that has taken hold in your body, that tremendous yin energy. I can see it clearly. You, you were a sacrifice.”
“I guess there’s more to those eyes than meets the eye.”
Ethan frowned at Cesare.
‘This guy, it seems like he knows something I don’t?’
It was only after reading a book in the palace library that I was able to learn more about the extinction disease.
It was a ritual to create a vessel for the descent of a god, not just a simple disease. That was the extermination.
Ethan opened his mouth slowly.
“Do you know my illness?”
“Sickness? You say sickness? Hahahahaha-! How funny. How funny, human. To call that a sickness? How funny.”
Cesare began to laugh cheerfully.
“It is a ritual created to summon a powerful being. It is not something that can be endured by most people, as it forces the body to fit into the status of a god. It is something that is not suitable for a human body, but ironically, there is no body more suitable for sacrifice than a human body.”
Cesare said.
“I never thought I would see a person who would treat that as a simple illness. I’ve never seen a person who could endure that and become strong to that degree.”
Cesare, who had said that, made an expression as if he had realized something.
“Your blessed body, your heaven-given talent. If you had not been a sacrifice, the world would have bowed down before you. Ironically, it is thanks to your overwhelming talent that you are able to sustain that consciousness in a human body. But in the end, that consciousness is engraved on your body. It is not even an improved consciousness, but the original consciousness.”
Cesare clicked his tongue.
Then he clenched his fist.
Shaaaaak-.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …
“Then I guess I can never let you live.”
An explosion of crimson poison erupted from his body.
Yeerika, Schudlen, and the Archbishop, who had barely managed to keep their wits about them from the explosion, fell forward.
Only Ethan stood firm in his place.
“I have fully figured out your identity.”
Cesare, who had absorbed all the poison in the mine and was resurrected, possessed tremendous strength.
‘He was resurrected halfway, but it seems like he still has all his abilities.’
The reason the six demons, including Cesare, were tricky was because they were immune to all normal attacks.
Even if they were sword masters who commanded the continent, they could not harm them without divine power.
It was the same for the Archmage. He had to mix in divine powers that could unconditionally strike at those demons.
‘There must be an air of resistance.’
The source of that confidence probably comes from the absolute endurance characteristic of the Great Demon.
‘Even if you mix it with divine power, it’ll be difficult with mediocre divine power. It has resistance to even moderate divine power.’
But Ethan wasn’t too worried.
As it happened, he now had a definite opponent who could stand up to Cesare.
“Ah, Ethan… … That guy… … has no substance… … I have to attack with divine power… … Ugh.”
The archbishop, who had fainted, suddenly came to his senses and stood up, speaking in a voice that was as if he was dying.
“I know. Don’t worry.”
Ethan reassured him.
Meanwhile, Cesare spread his wings and rushed towards him.
Wheeeeeeeek-!
In his hand he held a sword made of poison.
“Demon Slayer.”
A simple sword made of daggers appeared in Ethan’s hand. Unlike regular swords, the blade was extremely blunt and the tip was angled, making it unsuitable for cutting things.
but.
It was optimized for cutting down intangible spirits.
Kyaang-!
Ethan cut Cesare’s sword in half. As the sword split in two, Cesare frowned and swung his wings.
Pavababak-!
Feathers were sprayed along with the poison. Ethan spun around and swung his sword.
The Demon Slayer Sword, imbued with the spirit of Ethan’s swordsmanship, cut through the feathers, and Ethan, who had regained his stance, opened his mouth.
“Stop.”
“Ugh!”
Even so, it was an incomplete resurrection. Even if he regained his strength through the vessel, Cesare could not help but be greatly affected by the power of the Bihyeongrang.
At Ethan’s command, Cesare stopped moving for a moment.
‘That’s amazing.’
The rave reviews from the Gumiho and the Goblin.
And the confidence that Bihyeongrang showed.
Ethan finally understood how great of a being Bihyeongrang was.
The thousands of ghosts behind him were probably cut down by Bihyeongrang’s sword and were controlled by him.
Sigh!
The moment he struck, Cesare’s poisonous aura blocked the Demon Slayer sword. Of course, it could not be completely blocked. The Demon Slayer sword’s anti-demon power penetrated the poisonous aura and was transmitted directly to Cesare, exerting a strong influence.
Cesare, whose attack was completely blocked, crossed and uncrossed both arms.
Then, a powerful venomous beam was shot straight towards Ethan.
Wheaaa …
Ethan took the step.
Then he swung his Demon Slayer sword in a large swing, slashing the light beam, and using the momentum to advance forward, swinging his sword once more.
Sigh!
“… … !”
Cesare’s body was split in two by Ethan’s sword.
-The effect of Demon Slayer is activated!
-I have defeated the evil spirit. I have gained dominion over the evil spirit.
– Demon Dominion: 1 hour
– After 1 hour, your dominion over evil spirits will be lost.
“I have many questions for you, Cesare.”
Ethan smiled brightly.
“Who resurrected you?”
