You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿-Chapter 219
[Hwaaaaak!]
[Please stop!]
It was a scene of complete chaos.
The desperate screams of the administrators who fought countless monsters under my orders and died and came back to life repeatedly echoed here and there.
In addition, not only my hearing but also my sense of smell was like hell.
When fighting this many monsters, using fire magic was the most cost-effective, so the smell of burnt coal was terrible.
So, if you ask me what I felt while standing in this scene... ... .
‘Honestly, it’s kind of fun?’
That’s because since I was born on Earth, I haven’t had a chance to freely pour out magic with such a healthy body and the best magic circuits.
In addition, since I was currently pouring in the golden glaze, my magic circuits could absorb as much magic as they wanted, and since I had no choice but to train in swordsmanship, I wasn’t physically tired either.
I was already very annoyed because my magic was restricted within the formation.
The problem was that even though I was freely scattering magic in front, the number of monsters that were overflowing showed no signs of decreasing... ... .
‘But I’ve finally gotten around to killing some ants.’
It had already been over three hours since I started the battle.
Thanks to the administrators who were acting as bait, I had cleared out most of the low-level monsters that were rushing in without being able to tell the difference between heaven and earth.
Now, the only monsters left on the battlefield were mostly B-level or higher mid-level monsters.
Unlike before, these were monsters that could not be killed all at once with low-level magic.
Even monsters at that level were quite intelligent.
Even now, there were quite a few monsters that noticed my presence while using the administrators as bait and shooting magic from behind and rolled their eyes.
‘Then I should start executing the next step plan.’
Of course, if you use a skill like the Covenant of Dawn here, it’s not like you can just use the magic of the spell to wipe out intermediate monsters and everything in one go.
However... ... In fact, even if you do that, you can kill the monsters that are immediately in front of you, but it’s impossible to kill the ones that will continue to come out in the future.
You can’t use magic power indefinitely.
Besides, I’m not here to remove the dungeon break right now.
My goal is to kill Mr. Hyunam.
Considering that, I have to conserve my magic power and stamina as much as possible while dealing with the situation where the monsters are coming.
And since I was a demon king in my past life, I knew the solution well.
‘Is this enough?’
Kugu-kung!
What I was most focused on during these few hours was taking control of the magic power in this area.
And as a result of slowly expanding my influence... ...
Thud, thud.
The maximum amount of magical power that my body could hold began to circulate quickly through the magical circuit.
This amount of magical power was enough.
I felt a smile forming on my lips.
Despite having used magic for a very long time, both in my past life and this life, there was still no moment as enjoyable as the moment I was using magic.
No matter how much I was a demon lord in my past life, this body was ultimately a mortal human being.
I was nothing in front of Mother Nature.
But the joy of such an insignificant being, going against the laws of this vast world with my own power and creating my own laws.
Perhaps nothing can replace this sense of satisfaction.
‘That’s it!’
The magical power that had been swirling like a typhoon gathered at one point and then exploded like light that spread in all directions.
And of course, I was certain of success.
Kookung!
The ground shook.
The ruined buildings that had traces left began to collapse without warning.
[Bah, my feet are slipping out!]
[What the heck!]
The baits that still had the will to fight could be heard panicking during the battle.
And it wasn’t just the humans who were panicking.
-Keeeeeek!
The monsters that were excited about the fresh prey that wouldn’t die no matter how much they bit were also panicking and screaming.
It was only natural.
Thud!
The monsters lost their balance and fell.
The solid ground they had just stood on suddenly turned into a swamp.
Even so, I clicked my tongue because the result wasn’t very satisfactory.
‘I tried my best... ... With this much magic power, the limit is roughly 5km.’
What I had prepared for these few hours was a kind of transformation magic.
The land around the place where the monsters were coming from was turned into a swamp.
You could say that they built a kind of defense line centered around the city.
They created a moat made of mud.
No matter how big the country was, it was impossible to surround the entire Soju because the city was too big.
However, since I was causing a commotion here on purpose, most of the monsters would flock to this area.
Above all, if the monsters escaped my sight, this would be enough to delay their arrival at the city to some extent.
Also, this wasn't even an ordinary swamp.
Kikk! Kikkik!
Hundreds of ghost piranhas poked their faces out from under the mud with the sound of their teeth chattering.
This was one of the most cost-effective magics, the summoning of the demon species.
Hundreds of piranhas began to freely stir up the swamp and began to slaughter the monsters that were tied up.
The highly intelligent monsters tried to escape somehow, but it didn't matter.
If the monsters that ran away like that decide to return to their group and move away from the city, it would be even better.
However, even if they were tied up like this, not all the problems were solved at once.
-Koooooooo!
Kwajik!
A monster buried in the mud rose up, snorting.
-Monster appearance!
-Swamp Horn (B-class)
The system quickly displayed a message.
Looking at it, it seemed like a monster that originally lived in swamps, so even the texture of the muddy ground didn't seem to be a problem.
In addition, an attack came from the sky.
A murderous intent that fell silently.
I saw a monster with a lion's body and an eagle's head covered in bronze feathers flying fiercely through the clouds.
I narrowed my eyes when I saw it.
"Oh, it's a griffin."
This is a familiar monster even without a system alarm.
It is a strong monster with feathers that cannot be burned by moderate firepower and a beak that does not break.
It is probably an A-class monster in terms of the system.
An average magician would not be able to overcome that speed and would have to dodge to buy time to prepare magic... ... .
Boom!
The beak of the griffin that had plunged its body toward the ground like lightning shattered.
- Kkeuuuuuung!
At the same time, the swamp ox that had rushed toward me in an instant, breaking through the swamp, also slammed its head into the ground.
“Grrrrr!”
- Get out!
Leo, who smashed his beak faster than the griffin and broke it in one go, then slammed the massive swamp ox that was rushing toward him and broke its head, baring his teeth and growling in triumph.
Leo was quite excited right now.
- The system temporarily acknowledged the user, ‘Jung Da-on’s’s’s right to exercise his power.
- The user, ‘Jung Da-on’s’s’s’s’s’ can display their original abilities while performing the ‘SAVE THE WORLD’ quest.
That’s because Leo had regained his full power after a very long time.
This was also one of the results of the negotiation with the system.
Thanks to that, I was able to stand on the battlefield with a strong bodyguard in addition to the administrators who had fed me loneliness.
‘But there are still many.’
I think I’ve eliminated at least hundreds of them so far, but there were still monsters swarming beyond the border of the swamp I had created.
In the end, no matter how hard I tried, this was a game that was physically impossible for me to do alone. Han Jae-young’s words were not wrong.
I looked out across the vast land and thought for a moment.
‘The bigger problem is that the dungeon break that just happened might not be the end.’
There are many reasons why Mr. Hyunam broke the dungeon break near here... ... but the main purpose is probably to threaten me.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Because Orbis knows that I have a duty to protect the humans of Earth, although I don’t know how he found out.
That’s why Nam Sunghee, who was an ordinary person, confidently attacked me the other day.
That’s why he threatened me this time by breaking the dungeon break.
Even if I can’t keep my contract to act in a way that benefits humans, or even if I just give up and leave, Mr. Hyunam won’t lose anything.
That’s why Orbis can break the dungeon as many times as I want until I declare defeat.
So the key right now is to quickly catch Mr. Hyunam before he exhausts his soul core... ... .
-Do your best.
But the fairy I sent has not yet responded.
After all, since they have to rely solely on their own senses to find Master Hyeonam, it will take time.
In fact, I should say that they have taken on a more important responsibility than me.
The reason I had to send Han Jaeyoung alone, even though it was a task that would take quite a while, was because someone had to guard the city here and buy time.
And I was more suitable for that role than Han Jaeyoung, a pure magician.
‘I used other means, but how effective would that be... ... .’
In any case, I have to buy time here until these seeds I have sown bear fruit.
This is truly the last bastion before destruction.
In my previous life, I was definitely in the role of Master Hyeonam, who is now happily destroying dungeons, but now I am in the role of a warrior’s comrade that is not even in my fortune!
It is truly lamentable.
It was when I was lamenting my own fate.
Thud!
Something crawling desperately across the ground grabbed my ankle.
Da.
When I looked down, I saw a creature covered in mud, blood, and now I couldn’t even make out its face properly, holding onto my ankle.
[Me... ... no, why are you doing this to us?]
But now, in my eyes, apart from its appearance, I could clearly see its soul inside.
It was Jeong So-hwa.
The eyes that had been filled with anger and venom just a few hours ago had become completely empty after going through several deaths.
[Of course... ... I did something bad. I admit it. But we’re not the only ones who do this. Anyone in the world would have done it.]
It didn’t look like it was asking me for help anymore.
It seemed like it was just asking something it was really curious about.
Why did this happen to me?
Jeong So-hwa’s soul was simply yearning for that answer.
[If it were a human... ... anyone would have done anything to survive. But why is it that only I, only us, have to be punished... ... !]
“......Well, that’s right. It’s unfair.”
And there was nothing particularly objectionable about Jeong So-hwa’s words.
I also agreed.
What if someone else was in Jeong So-hwa’s position?
If the only person you can lean on appears in a desperate situation, who wouldn’t lean on them?
Humans do anything to survive.
They are endlessly selfish and ugly beings for their own desires.
Even if a person who thinks they wouldn’t do that and is proud of being moral will say different things when they are actually in the same situation.
People who act morally or noblely are simply born in an environment where they can do so.
Everything is just luck.
“I was wronged, too.”
Like I was in my previous life.
At that time, I didn’t know anything.
In fact, I didn’t have to know anything.
I just wanted to live as a good, obedient younger sister in Orbis’ arms, and dedicate the whole world to the beloved emperor.
I truly believed that was the path to happiness for everyone.
I never once thought that there might be another being who would die under the weight of what I had enjoyed so far.
Even though I was a great wizard who sought all the truths of this world, I didn’t think about it even though it was something I could figure out if I thought about it a little.
Just like Jeong So-hwa now.
“Choose what’s more important... That’s what I heard from that woman too.”
A bitter smile hung on my lips.
- If you can kill one to save ten, that’s right.
The value of a person is inestimable, so paradoxically, that value can only ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) be measured in numbers.
Orbis said that.
And the world at that time took Orbis’ side.
It was natural. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The system is ultimately a collective intelligence that protects a single species called humans.
The first priority is to save as many lives as possible.
That means that the justice of the majority can trample on the minority.
If I had stayed by Orbis’ side at that time, if I had chosen rationalization like Jeong So-hwa, things would have been different.
But I didn’t.
“But...still, ignorance is a sin.”
Since you were born as a human, not trying to know or giving up thinking is a sin.
But if the world doesn’t call that a sin.
If humans are the ones who call this a rational and inevitable choice.
In that case, I would rather become a destroyer of this world.
That’s what I thought.
“Now your soul seems to have died at least as many people as you killed.”
I put my hand on Jeong So-hwa’s head.
“Then, just relax.”
That is my truth, and this is the law of my world.
I opened my mouth.
- I will carry out my remaining duty, even if it is late, with a bitter remembrance of my arrogance.
And soon, a soul that had sinned was burned in the flame of purity.
