045 – Molu, Naru’s friend!

045 – Molu, Naru’s friend!

When I came to my senses, the dawn was rising in the distance.

Only then did I realize that the battle with these loathsome vampires was over.

“It is finally over. Are you all hurt?”

I asked the guys around me.

A night when women with pointed fangs attacked from all sides wearing only their underwear.

Even though it was hellish, and even though it was a night worth recording and watching somewhere, no one was injured.

“Everybody looks fine.”

“Wherever you look.”

As I nodded in agreement, Brigitte frowned.

“Everywhere you look, you look fine.”

Brigitte was pierced through the stomach and chest by Scheheherazade, the boss of the vampires.

It was a fatal wound that would have left him dead if it was like others, but he was fine except for the fact that his clothes were torn.

His face was a bit scruffy, but he didn’t seem to be hurt.

“Is everything better? Shall I touch it and check it out?”

I reached out for Brigitte’s stomach, which was white through the torn clothes. Then he shouts “I don’t need it!” and slaps my palm.

Certainly, he looked healthy enough that he didn’t need a separate test.

However, Garot did not seem to understand this situation.

“Early on, I met the saintess of Heavenly Father, Yahbach. Her benediction of healing was indeed a realm of miracles. It was to the point where the severed arm would grow a new one. However, it was not to the point where the destroyed heart could be regenerated.”

Garot seemed to have met the saintess.

That’s why he must have noticed that Brigitte’s regeneration was abnormal.

“Brigitte’s regeneration isn’t just at the level of healing her wounds. Certainly not ordinary magic. Perhaps a taboo area. Brigitte, your existence is too dangerous.”

Garot was a person with good senses.

Because of that, he seemed to notice the tension and danger hanging over Brigitte.

“I have put to death countless wizards who have fallen in [The Old City]. All of them reached the taboo and went mad easily. Brigitte, you are like them.”

“I know. I didn’t like it because I liked it, so could you take away that knife? Even if I don’t die, it hurts the same if I get cut.”

Shuk-.

Brigitte pushed the tip of Garrot’s sword away with her finger.

Seeing that, Garot gently inserted the small sword into the scabbard and asked.

“Then explain so I can understand.”

Garot was demanding an explanation.

The attitude seemed a bit coercive, but from Garrot’s point of view, who had been defending order while suppressing demons, Brigitte could be seen as a time bomb.

I had my own understanding of this situation, so I just kept my mouth shut.

Brigitte should answer this.

Brigitte hu——sighed.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

“Even if you hide it, Garot, if you have skills like yours, I think you will figure it out on your own. I’ll just tell you because I think it’ll be bothersome if you mess around with this and that. Do you know about the Three Disasters?”

“If you’re talking about the three demons of Pandaemonium.”

“Yes, those three disasters. This is the curse left behind by the impoverished Valdes. Because Valdez is an immortal, he couldn’t be killed in any way. It was because Valdes was suffering from the curse of exhaustion.”

“The curse of exhaustion… .”

“To defeat him, we needed to break the curse. In the end, it was best for me to transfer the curse. There were many circumstances, but that is the end of the explanation.”

The ‘Battle of Valdés in Exhaustion’, in which we fought without sleep for three days and nights and won desperately.

Summarizing it in just a few words and coming to a conclusion, Brigitte was indeed smart.

“It is the curse of exhaustion. Brigitte, did you become an undead due to a curse?”

“yes.”

immortality.

I honestly thought it was awesome.

Unfortunately, however, the curse was nothing more than immortality, and time was honestly taking away the youth from Brigitte.

“I just can’t die, I’m getting older. Even if I become an old woman someday, even if my body decays and only my bones remain, I will not die.”

“The soul caught in the body that cannot die will be devastated and will only fall. Is it possible to become the immortal Valdes, or the immortal Brigitte, and slaughter people?”

“I don’t know. But I’m working hard to make sure that doesn’t happen. That’s why I came to Phrygia, the city of magical engineering. That’s why I’m trying to find the imp.”

indeed.

I simply thought that Brigitte was parachuting into the teaching position, but it seemed that she had deep thoughts and thoughts of her own.

Soon Garot looked at me.

“I heard you, Judas, were also cursed for killing the demon king. Also, according to rumors, a warrior in your party was mortally wounded while fighting Arcatraz, the Swordsman of Regret.”

“It did.”

“Everyone looked up to them as heroes and praised them, but in reality they were like veterans with scars. Is it only the monk Enkidus who is not wounded and cursed? ”

Garrot gave a small admiration as if to swallow the bitterness.

However, contrary to Garot’s thoughts, Enkidus also subdued the demon king in his own way and was in a state of being under a powerful curse.

I said.

“He’s no longer growing his hair.”

“… What?”

“He’s bald forever now.”

“Have you been cursed like that… . However, I know that the monks of Ilgwang Ascension have shaved their heads from the beginning. If you look at it that way, it’s not a very serious curse.”

“No, you can grow it, but deliberately pushing it around. Not growing at all makes a big difference.”

Enkidus was also under a strong curse.

But Garrot just shook his head, saying that he didn’t understand the cruelty of male hormones, and he was just saying all sorts of strange things.

pat-.

Then something lightly landed on the rooftop of the Garden of Pleasure.

The guy was bald.

“Hey, what are you doing here? It’s over.”

I blamed Enkidus as I looked at the remains of the vampires scattered on the floor.

At that time, Naru, who was sitting on his back, raised both hands.

“The tight-fisted man found me!”

“yes?”

Was Enkidus protecting the Naru?

It was the most important role.

“Then admit it. Tell me what happened.”

“Narubigi, talk wildly!”

jojal jojal.

I heard a light explanation of what happened to Enkidus and Naru.

From what I heard, it seems that he clashed with a female thief who was aiming for the treasure of Scheheherazade.

Enkidus also nodded when he heard what we had been through.

“Did something like that happen? Then, first of all, let’s take a look at Miss Brigitte, who was fatally wounded, for a moment.”

Shuk-.

Enkidus put his index finger on Brigitte’s wrist.

Maybe 5 seconds passed.

“Miss Brigitte, first of all, you’ve gained more weight than the last time you checked your pulse.”

“No, don’t say that!”

“Except for the weight, the pulse and heartbeat, as well as the karma and mana flowing through the body, are infinitely normal. There is no need for further examination.”

“Of course it is.”

It was Brigitte who clicked her tongue.

The tight-fisted guy now turned his eyes away from Brigitte and looked at me.

“Judah, the ban placed on you by the young monk is being lifted. Perhaps because he participated in this battle, it looks like he’s rising in rank once again… .”

Enkidus’s words simply meant, “Judas, didn’t you eat experience points and reach level up in the fight you just had?”

It was as the guy said.

I could feel that it wasn’t long before my level went up a notch.

Hearing the story, Garot was greatly impressed.

“It’s a great thing. It is difficult for those who have broken through the platinum level to easily rise in rank. This is because the higher the level, the more difficult it is to attain enlightenment. Yuda, can you become a little stronger?”

As Garot said, it became more and more difficult to level up as the level increased on the continent of Pangea.

I heard that after level 40, which can only be achieved by going beyond the realm, there are people who cannot raise even one more level in their lifetime.

However, I was able to raise my karma even higher by dealing with Al Sahad, the thief of Alubaba, and Scheheherazade, the vampire of today.

Garot said.

“Isn’t that something to be happy about? They say that if you reach level 50, you can transcend and become a Demiurge. Like Yahbach, who ascended to the position of the heavenly father in the body of a mortal. but… Why don’t they all look good?”

Garot tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.

Brigitte explained it.

“It is because of the curse of the demon king that Judas is suffering from. Judas should not raise the level and rank any more. It’s hard to say the details, but… . Judas, you’d better check your karma as soon as the day dawns.”

“I think so too.”

I nodded.

* * *

“Even though there was a terrible incident, not a single article appeared in the newspaper. In the end, they couldn’t find out where Lady Rione of the Ragdoll family had disappeared. The treasure is stolen by some thief. I only lost money.”

Brigitte clicked her tongue as she read the morning paper.

It was because there was not a single line written in the Frisian newspapers about the dawn of the commotion at number 61.

Although it was the night that many people were torn to death and slaughtered, number 61 was actually not in the official administrative district of Phrygia.

The guys and the victims staying there are mostly illegal criminals.

So I felt like I was trying to bury it as something that never happened.

My guess, of course.

I don’t know the details of the story.

I don’t even want to know

What I’m wondering now is this.

“Karma Test Paper”.

He took out a piece of paper from a black envelope.

It was pure white paper.

This is a thing called a karma test strip.

It was an expensive item worth 1 million Renae per sheet.

By the way, the money was lent by Brigitte.

The effect is to show the karma inherent in the body of the subject who shed blood on this test strip. To put it simply, it felt like this.

Shuk.

He cut his finger lightly with the dagger and blood dripped on it, and letters began to form on the paper.

「Name: Judas Lv. 48 → 49

Strength: 14

Agility: 20

Endurance: 14 → 15

Karma tendency: Chaos」

Last time I checked I was level 48.

For reference, the average level of people on the continent of Pangea is 5 for adults.

“Ow, shack… .”

The figure that came out of the inspection was level 49.

The result made me dizzy before my eyes.

“It was a big deal. It’s level 49.”

There is only one step left to level 50.

As I panicked, Brigitte frowned.

“That’s why I told you not to participate in the subjugation operation this time. He said that Enkidus’ blood seal is useless now. You, no one else knows what happens when you reach level 50, right?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, I looked at a corner of Brigitte’s lab.

There, Naru was crouching and talking to her shadow.

“Do you want some strawberries? Naru, Brigitte bought me lots of strawberries this morning… !”

“… … .”

no.

Naru, why is he talking to his shadow?

Have you gone through a series of shocking events and become a little weird?

I cautiously approached Naru.

But looking at it now, what I thought was Naru’s shadow had two black pupils.

“Ow, shack. what is this. Naruya, your shadow has pupils on it!”

“that’s right! It’s the cat that became Naru’s familiar yesterday! Look at this.”

Shuk-.

Naru pulled out what looked like a ball of black hair from her shadow.

It was literally a bunch of black hair.

It had no mouth or legs, only black eyes that ran.

ㅡ kong… , meow.

“No, is this a cat? Didn’t you just stop barking?”

It was a very suspicious existence.

Naru hugged the hair like a teddy bear and shouted.

“Yesterday he was locked in a box that was closed with an incredibly strong padlock! Actually, I don’t even know what this is. So the name is Molu… , No, Morumoru!”

“… … .”

The day after the vampires went wild.

Naru has a mysterious familiar.
