The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

ongoing dialog ended with the man raising his sword towards Euthenia.

I wondered what the conversation was about, but it seemed like they were going to fight after all.

If it’s a game, after all, fighting in a fistfight is the best part of the game.

The moment of the battle I had been waiting for had arrived.

“So the prey has walked in on its own two feet.”

Watching the interaction is over.

It was now my turn to convert the character in front of me back to karma.

Pop.

I lightly touched the man aiming the sword to test it out.

The plan was to inflict damage and watch for a reaction.

And at that moment.

I witnessed an unexpected scene.

— No way.

Cling-!

The man swung his sword to block my touch.

Zero damage floats above the attacker’s head.

He used the sword he was holding to completely cancel out the attack.

I was forced to show my confusion at the sight of the man who had prevented the touch attack without damage.

“What? You prevented it?”

Pop.Pop.Pop.

I moved my finger and tried to touch again.

Of course, the man’s reaction was much the same as before.

Cling-! Cling-! Cling-!

The sword swung around and 0 damage floated on the man’s head.

That action proved that the earlier defense was no accident.

“Wow, what’s this.
It looks like a boss monster or an event monster.”

Sometimes there are games with unusual patterns of monsters.

Event monsters or Boss monsters.

They show a different pattern from normal monsters and force a different method of attack.

And the male character in front of me still seemed to belong to such a category.

“I guess the basic attack doesn’t work very well or something.”

I didn’t expect him to prevent my basic attack.

It was natural to be surprised at the unexpected pattern.

But a game monster should have a way to destroy it, after all.

I decided to use my skill, which I paid a lot of money to buy.

I put target mark on top of the moving character.

— .

Rumble-!Rumble-!CLAP!!

The screen flashed and lightning struck down at the man.

The man who saw the lightning striking down took a defensive posture, stooping unlike before.

There was no way he could have prevented the lightning with his sword.

The lightning fell from the sky and pierced the man’s defense.

— Kuh.

The man who was hit by screamed.

The damage that floated above his head was 9.

Compared to the 15 damage it usually inflicts, this is a small number.

Looks like I need to put more magic power in when hunting other characters.

But considering the fact that the opponent was an event monster, being able to conquer it was important.

“You’re already dead.”

I launched a barrage of skills.

Rumble-!Rumble-!CLAP!!

A succession of light thunderclaps erupted.

***

It has been two days since Rick, Cloud’s third level agent, left in search of traces of the Evil God.

So far, Rick had walked around various villages looking for traces of the Evil God, but he didn’t find any, and wasted a lot of time.

This was because no matter how much he searched around the village, he could not see any trace of an evil god.

Then, through long hours of trouble, he finally arrived at a village, which was facing the entrance to a mountain range.

However, the anomaly occurred when Rick was about to leave the village and enter the mountain range.

A horse that had entered the mountain road immediately threw Rick off and tried to run away.

Rick barely managed to calm the horse down and tie it up in the village, but he could not move with it any further.

Reluctantly, Rick had to move alone, leaving his horse.

“The atmosphere around here is unusual?”

As he entered the mountain path, the grim presence he could feel around him gave Rick goosebumps.

There is something in the mountain range.

It’s also something unfathomable from a human perspective.

Rick walked forward without letting his guard down.

With every step he took, he felt a cold sweat running down his back.

Had he wandered down the mountain path for that long enough?

Rick who was alert to his surroundings, saw someone in his field of vision.

(There’s someone here?)

Rick’s eyes peered into the figure of a man standing in front of the cave.

Also an unknown girl with gray hair stood before him.

Clench-!.

Rick’s hand gripped his sword.

Her clothes are too clean to be living in the mountains.

Either way, it is a suspicious look.

(Is she a priest of the evil gods?)

The book in her hand also had an unusual appearance.

There was no reason for her to carry a book as thick as that while visiting the mountains.

Even the thickness and shape of the book looked suspiciously like a scripture or a magic book.

A wizard.
Or a priest.

Either way, the occupation was enough to arouse suspicion.

“I’ll be able to find out for myself if I check it out in person.”

It was the investigator’s main job to embark on a life-risking mission.

It was necessary to face the person once, after all, to confirm their identity.

Sring-!.

Rick drew his sword and moved towards the girl.
