chapter 31
031. How to save Erina Esnatia
The second appearance of [One Cursed by Fate].
The white wings are torn off and the whites of the eyes are stained black.
“HOLY sh*t!!! Jesus Christ!! What is this?!”
Perhaps she was relieved that everything was over, Erina looked despairing.
It certainly looks scary.
If you see something like this, it’s natural to feel dizzy.
Of course, she is stronger than her first appearance.
From this point on, it takes on the opposite type of divinity.
‘If there were a devil, it would look like this.’
The most difficult thing of all.
[Give up. If you resist fate, the only end is death.]
No, you’ll die anyway if you don’t resist, right?!
“sh*t!! A dog-like sound rings in my head!”
Erina Esnatia wrinkles her expression as if in pain.
This is a powerful mental attack.
“Come to your senses!”
“sh*t…. Is this my destiny?”
Erina Esnatia muttered in a voice that seemed to indicate despair with her glassy eyes.
“Crazy… It’s already difficult if it continues like this.”
Even if you fall, skip the first pattern and fall!
The first pattern of the second phase.
He wields a black long sword and swings it directly.
If you pass this pattern well, you will have a way to survive using Erina Esnatia.
“There is no such thing as a prince of destiny…”
“Please come to your senses!”
I have applied Erina Esnatia’s [Heavenly Blessing], So I am able to withstand her mental attacks.
Anyway, when the second pattern starts, she retires and I have to fight the [Cursed One] Alone.
[Heavenly Blessing] Is not a skill that can be used on multiple people, so I told it to be used only on me.
‘Still, I thought it would be okay since my mental tolerance is basically high.’
Basically, she has a mental power correction equal to the amount of blessings from heaven. But if it’s like this.
Isn’t it just a lack of mental strength?
…
If Erina Esnatia looks like this, she will be cut in the first round.
A black sword wriggles and blooms from the fingertips of the [Cursed One].
Just looking at that sword is disgusting enough to make you vomit.
[Because an invisible fate has bloomed here]
A voice echoing in my head.
As time goes on, Erina Esnatia’s condition is getting worse.
“Should I somehow stop it, even if it’s just me?”
[The Cursed One] Swung the sword that bloomed in her hand toward the ground.
Chaaagh-
As the black blood splattered on the ground, a bloody sound of cutting through the air is heard.
‘There’s no way I can stop something like that!!’
If you get hit by something like that without Erina Esnatia’s shield, you’ll end up in a straight path down the Nether Road.
What should I do?
Slap me in the face?
…If it had been solved like that, there would be no way [The Cursed One] Would have been ranked C for no reason.
…
Ahhhhh-
A refreshing and clear sound that resonates.
But you never know.
I think it’s worth giving it a try.
“….”
Erina Esnatia says nothing.
Is this also a failure?
“HOLY sh*t!!! I felt something creepy! It felt like I felt KIMCHI’s hand…!”
Erina Es Natia opens her eyes as if she has come to her senses.
Her body was shaking as if she had goosebumps.
‘My touch is stronger than the voice of the [Cursed One].’
Let’s think positively.
Wouldn’t it be nice to think that I too am being attacked mentally?
And it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for her high mental resistance.
‘Yes, I guess so. For sure.’
Otherwise, it would be very inhumane treatment.
“KIMCHI! Were you attacked too?! ONE o’clock is urgent!”
“Ah… Wait!”
Ahhhhh-
A hand flies toward her cheek as she speaks.
“OH! You seem to have come to your senses. KIMCHI!”
…Don’t you remember this b*tch?
[Accept it.]
At that time, the [Cursed One] Pointed a sword at Erina Esnatia.
Kaang-!
The sword was accurately blocked by Erina Esnatia’s shield.
“sh*t! If you keep your wits about you, you can block the sword of a b*tch! Like YOU!!!”
Is this a girl crush?
Cool! There is!
“You’re good, you’re good!!”
“Incompetent KIMCHI!! Try something other than ZI!!”
When did he even learn to swear?
At that moment, the voice was heard again.
[This is the end of your destiny. Can not avoid.]
“The more you spend with me, the more your vocabulary grows. I’m proud!”
“sh*t!!! My stomach is exploding!”
But Erina Es Natia doesn’t seem to be listening because she’s pouring out her anger on me.
Okay, focus hard on me.
That way you don’t fall for that kind of nonsense.
And, in my current state, I have nothing to do except hide behind Erina.
“Just hold on to Sehab. I have thoughts behind it.”
“KIMCHI!! Is YOU blocking Sehap? Does it look easy because ME is blocking it like this?!”
“You can do it!”
“HOLY!!!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!!”
Just the right combination.
If you can hold on to Sehap, you can move on to the next pattern.
Only then will there be a way to defeat that guy.
‘Cheer up, Erina Esnatia!’
***
“Haa… Haa… Just like YOU said, Sehap without skills. I blocked it! Now let’s try something!”
“You can stay still.”
“sh*t!!! I was the B god who believed in KIMCHI!!”
“No….”
It’s good not to be attacked mentally, but why does it seem like the child is becoming more and more broken?
I don’t think it was like this in Either.
‘Wouldn’t this mean that you and I have good chemistry?’
[My despair. Your destiny. All of this is the providence of ‘cause and effect.’]
A cry rang in my head.
At the same time, an exit emitting bright light appeared.
“KIMCHI!! Appeared! Exit!!! Ignore that b*tch! Escape! Escape!! As expected, fate has not abandoned me…!”
…Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.
The real start starts now.
[Wooja, blinded by hope.]
As soon as that voice rang in her head, Erina Esnatia sat down.
“K, KIMCHI… It’s strange. My body… I feel weak…”
Has it started?
In Phase 1, I was able to directly counter with Erina Esnatia’s skill [Heavenly Power].
Phase 2. [One cursed by fate].
The skill she uses uses the support skills possessed by nearby enemies on the [Cursed by Fate] Herself.
This limit has no end and continues until the opponent is exhausted.
Fussuk-
“K, KIMCHI…”
I picked up Erina Esnatia who had fallen and laid her down on one side.
‘It must be mana exhaustion.’
Her skill [Heavenly Power].
Grants divine power to a specific person.
I used it on the [Cursed One] Until exhaustion occurred, at least by force.
But the [Cursed One] Is literally a person cursed by God and fate.
Because of that, her [Her Heavenly Power] Is effectively debuffing her in reverse.
‘It means he harmed himself.’
Of course, taking that into account, tanks usually have at least one support skill.
Getting that down is a huge benefit.
But.
‘This lady’s dish is a special treat.’
A grade divine support skill.
Erina Esnatia, who was in full condition, took it until she ran out of mana.
This means that he has become an E-rank boss, falling at least two levels lower.
I also received heavenly blessings.
‘The stadium is tilted. ‘You bastard!’
KIeeeK’eek-!!!!!
The [Cursed One] Shouts as if in pain.
[Accept it. You too will become like me!]
“Don’t be a damn thing.”
When struck, it begins to fire mental attacks like crazy.
‘You have to come to your senses.’
That is no different from hypnosis.
It is just a super strong suggestion that hits directly into the brain.
How to resist hypnosis.
We must continue to deny it.
You must not get caught up even for a single moment.
If you are positive even for a moment, that is the end.
The body starts to twist from now on.
***
“K, KIMCHI…?”
Kim Si-woo fighting alone with a boss monster right in front of him.
‘There is no way we can be your opponent.’
There is absolutely no way we can win.
It was the moment I thought so.
“Gaaa-!”
Kim Si-woo rushes towards the boss monster at a speed that is absolutely impossible with the leg strength of an ordinary person.
‘Uh, how?’
It wasn’t telekinesis that caused Kim Si-woo to fly.
It was definitely Kim Si-woo, his ability.
‘Am I looking at something?’
That wasn’t all.
Kim Si-woo treated his numerous skills as if they were his own hands and feet.
Kim Si-woo obviously had one skill, and his hunter level must have been E3.
But the movements looked like a first-class hunter.
‘What is it… ? Is it really Siwoo Kim…? ?’
He is a man named Lee Seong-hyeon, whom he had heard about through rumors.
I’m not sure if Kim Si-woo is as strong as that man, but he was never called weak.
‘After all, you are a liar….’
But Erina Esnatia knew best that there was no more time.
“We must escape immediately…”
She herself is a D-rank hunter.
She had noticed that the monsters they were fighting were not ordinary.
No matter how strong Kim Si-woo is, there is no way he can face that boss monster on his own.
No, it looked like they wouldn’t be able to win even if the rumored Lee Seong-hyun came, let alone Kim Si-woo.
“sh*t…. KIMCHI…. Running away.”
However, Kim Si-woo in front of me was throwing his body as if he was trying to prevent the [Cursed by Fate] From approaching him, even if he was injured.
“This is my destiny… After all, my destiny is this little girl.”
His sh*tty life.
He believed in fate to deny it.
“Not just ZI, but even Kimchi is running away….”
No matter how much she believed in fate, she knew.
He was already dead.
And now the best option is for Kim Si-woo to run away.
‘The door is already open, so why aren’t you running away? Is kimchi also a sin such as Hogu…? ?’
However, it seemed that his words could not reach Kim Si-woo.
[The one cursed by fate] Gave off a strong energy.
At the same time, her sword swung with a bloody sound.
“aaah!”
Kim Si-woo’s left arm was literally torn like a piece of paper by that sword strike.
‘Why so much… ! Run away now. Stupid!!’
Why do they do it like that?
It would be fine if he ran away using himself as bait.
Leaving behind the fallen Kim Si-woo, [The One Cursed by Fate] Slowly approached Erina Esnatia.
Soon, the sword of the cursed was aimed at Erina Esnatia’s neck.
At that moment, it became dark as if fog had spread before his eyes.
‘I can’t see anything ahead…’ . They say you can see a dazzling light right before you die, but it’s all a lie.’
-Tap-tap-tap-tap.
The sound of people panting and moving could be clearly heard in the darkness.
‘This is ok. Kimchi just needs to run away.’
Erina Esnatia.
She suddenly wondered if she had ever expressed her emotions like this recently.
‘99% Angry.. But it was fun in its own way. It might not have been a bad idea to have a proper talk with KIMCHI at least once.’
She has now become curious about what Kim Si-woo’s true identity is.
‘It already means nothing.’
A sound echoing in my head.
[Those who are not loved by fate, a curse permeates your soul.]
“Ha…”
I burst into laughter.
A girl who believed in fate dies because she was not loved by fate at a temple that speaks of fate.
How funny this is.
[That is fate.]
Sentences that seep into my head.
Was this really his destiny?
[No matter how hard you struggle, fate is inevitable.]
Before she knew it, she was completely attuned to the sound in her head.
‘Then I will accept it.’
It was the moment the girl was thinking like that.
Just before the tip of the sword of fate touches the girl’s neck.
-Kan!
‘…?’
The back of Kim Si-woo can be faintly seen through the darkness.
Erina was much more dependable and manly than she thought.
‘Am I seeing an illusion?’
The voice that resonated at that time reminded Erina Esnatia that it was reality.
“Gaaa!!”
It was a fleeting moment.
There was absolutely no way we could reach it.
It was an unreachable distance.
However, Kim Si-woo was proudly blocking the enemy’s blade in front of him.
‘Uh, how….’
“f*ck fate! There’s no way something like that exists!”
‘W, What?’
A voice that denies fate.
[The inevitable flow…..]
“f*ck you! Fate? My being here is the negation of fate!”
Erina Esnatia. She denied the fate she had believed in all her life.
There was nothing she could do of her own will.
If the misfortune the girl experienced in the past was not fate, whose fault was it?
I used to believe that the only thing that could get me out of this hell was fate.
[Accept it….]
“Can you accept a fate like that?!”
The words of Kim Si-woo, who falls down and stands up again with his sword stuck in the ground and shouts.
Something hot emotion was felt in the girl’s heart.
“The trashy fate that you say I have to die! The fate that you beat me here! I cannot accept it!!”
[A nobleman is a foolish and lowly person. The fate of the world has already been written.]
I thought Kim Si-woo would never win.
He thought his fate was over.
“Whether there is such a fate or not, I will refuse. I! Because I will only acknowledge the fate that I write! That’s why! Erina Esnatia! I will rewrite the fate of your death here too!”
Erina Esnatia noticed.
Hot emotions were clearly spreading from the sound of the heartbeat.
He protected the princess until the last moment.
I’m sure I saw it as a child, in a fairy tale that will save me….
‘This man…’ .’
Family among the darkness.
But a beam of light shines clearly.
“[Secret attack]!!!”
