“…You.”

Feliks looked at Rute, who had stabbed a sword into his back.

Rute grinned broadly.

“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment?”

Stab!

“Guk!”

Rute pulled out the sword and stabbed Feliks in the abdomen once more.

Feliks’s face contorted horribly.

“I swore I would never forgive the bastard who dared to hurt me. That I would give him worse pain than what I suffered, the most terrible agony in the world. That’s what I vowed.”

“….”

“Finally, that wish comes true.”

Slash!

Rute slashed across Feliks’s waist while the sword was still embedded.

“Grruk!”

Feliks collapsed to his knees.

His waist split halfway through as crimson blood poured out like mad.

How terrifying Rute is.

I never thought he would actually split Feliks’s waist like that.

“During the Harvest Festival when I was seven. The day I went to greet you, we shook hands.”

Looking down at the fallen Feliks, Rute extended his right hand.

As if offering a handshake.

“I felt a brief stinging sensation. I thought it was just static electricity, but you had injected poison at that moment.”

Rute burst into hollow laughter.

His eyes staring into space were filled with resentment and rage.

“You must have enjoyed it. Watching me suffer in pain while unable to show it, pretending to be fine while going about my business, then writhing in agony when I was alone.”

“Guk, urgh….”

“How amusing it must have been to see me and my family bowing our heads before you, not knowing the truth.”

Rute’s sword pointed at Feliks’s throat. The skin split at the sword’s tip as blood trickled down.

Feliks’s blackened eyes glared at that sword.

“…Strange. How can a bastard like you, who has no divine power, so easily wound me?”

It’s probably thanks to his divine power.

I glanced at Rute.

The golden light he carried had grown even larger since the Temple of the Sun God.

Though he couldn’t yet wield divine power on his own, since he possessed the power, he could wound Feliks more easily than others.

And one more thing.

“I imbued that sword with my divine power.”

I smiled brightly while looking at the fallen Feliks.

I had embedded a Holy Stone containing my divine power into Rute’s sword made of magic stone.

So that Rute could more easily respond to the power of ‘Evil’.

“…No, it can’t be just that reason.”

Feliks glared at Rute with bloodshot eyes.

“Very, very irritating. Why is that? Why does a bastard without divine power get on my nerves so much?”

What a perceptive bastard.

Perhaps because he has a body that cannot possess divine power, he reacts very sensitively to it.

【Activating divine power exclusive skill ‘Judgment’.】

To prevent him from thinking of anything else, I immediately threw lightning.

Unlike before, since his side was cut, it should fry him a bit better.

“Get ready.”

At my quiet whisper, Rute raised his magic sword energy.

And the moment the lightning slightly subsided.

“Now!”

Rute immediately swung his sword.

Since he easily split the side, now his neck should be easily…!

Clang!

“…Ah, damn.”

However, far from being severed, a sharp sound like metal clashing rang out. I quickly wrapped my arms around Rute’s waist and leaped into the air.

Bang, crash!

At the same time, the spot where we had been standing was completely destroyed.

Through the thickly spreading dust, something black moved swiftly.

“Ordel!”

The black something that had destroyed the surroundings flew toward my back.

Seeing Rute about to shield me immediately, I kicked him away from me.

“Orde…!”

Slash!

“Ah!”

A black tentacle resembling a whip tore my clothes and split my back open.

I gritted my teeth and swung my mace, barely deflecting the whip flying toward my head.

“Why on earth!”

Rute, who caught me as I fell to the ground, shouted angrily.

Why? Because you absolutely cannot be poisoned, that’s why.

Hissss.

“Urgh.”

As soon as I began healing my wounds, steam rose from my back.

Cold sweat broke out from the pain of divine power and poison colliding.

It’s worse than pouring salt or alcohol on a wound.

Still, it’s less painful than when I was stabbed to death, so I’ll grit my teeth and endure it.

“What a complete disaster.”

When I raised my head, I saw Feliks standing on the destroyed stairs.

Disgusting black tentacles sprouting from his back were moving restlessly.

“His recovery speed is too fast.”

Even his waist, which had been split in half, was healing at a visibly rapid pace.

I even fried him with Judgment, but won’t this completely crush our morale?

I immediately grabbed Rute’s arm.

“Let’s make an offering.”

Even if I achieve 100% divine power, the chances of winning are slim.

But at least I won’t die pathetically!

“Here it is.”

Rute handed me the money pouch.

It was a pouch containing a fortune of 32,000 gold, equivalent to 3.2 billion won.

With just this, I could break through to 100% divine power in one go….

“Dodge!”

Just then, black tentacles flew toward us.

I immediately pushed Rute to the side.

Bang!

The tentacle that destroyed where we had been standing flew toward me again.

I’m glad it’s not attacking Rute.

As expected, that bastard’s attention is still focused on me.

“Rute! I’m fine, so please take care of the monsters around us!”

As I descended the stairs, monsters began attacking me as if they had been waiting.

Even for me, blocking Feliks while dealing with monsters would be too much.

Rute must have made the same judgment, as he didn’t stubbornly insist and dealt with the demons rushing at me.

‘Those bastards have gotten too strong.’

Ever since being hit by the black spear Feliks threw, the already powerful demons had become even stronger.

Even more so.

Kwarrung!

“Ha, now they don’t die in one hit even when struck by divine power.”

As expected, they came prepared against my divine power.

Bang!

In a moment of distraction, Feliks’s black tentacle struck my thigh.

I gritted my teeth at the bone-breaking pain.

“Do you want to die so badly that you’re letting your mind wander? A weakling like you can’t even concentrate.”

“Don’t like that I’m weak? Then just wait a little.”

I grabbed the incoming tentacle with my left hand and tore it off by striking it with my mace.

Ugh, disgusting.

I threw away the torn piece and rummaged through my clothes to pull out a pouch.

It was the money pouch I had carefully kept even while pushing Rute away.

【Donation Box】

Since the donation box wouldn’t be visible to Feliks anyway, just as I was about to throw the pouch in.

“I’m getting an unpleasant feeling.”

Stab!

Along with Feliks’s words, pain spread from my back.

“…Huh?”

Looking down, I saw tentacle strands piercing through my body.

Why is this, why…?

Ah.

“…So the torn tentacles could regrow.”

The piece of tentacle I had torn off with my mace.

Five or six thorns that sprouted from there had pierced through my body.

Ah, this is a bit…

It hurts more than when I first died.

“Cough!”

Blood burst out.

The reddening vision reminded me of my death in my previous life.

“Hmm, I thought I felt some unpleasant divine power, but was it my imagination?”

My face naturally contorted at Feliks’s muttering.

Could he have sensed the system’s energy?

That can’t be. I’ve used the system in front of Feliks so many times.

‘Or does the donation box’s energy feel different?’

Since this is directly connected to the Sun God.

“Ordel!”

Rute came running belatedly.

Despair filled his eyes as he looked at me, pierced by tentacles, unable to sit down or stand properly.

I gestured with my eyes toward the pouch that had fallen to the ground.

“Money, where should I put the money?”

Rute, quick to catch on, immediately grabbed the pouch.

When I pointed with my eyes toward where the donation box was, he hurriedly threw the pouch in that direction.

However.

Thud, roll roll.

The donation box disappeared. The pouch that lost its destination fell to the floor.

As if he wasn’t qualified to make donations.

Ah, there was no mention of this.

“Cough!”

I coughed up blood once more.

Whether from the poison’s influence, the blood was frighteningly dark red.

The feeling I had experienced only once before, of life slipping away like sand between my fingers, consumed my entire body.

I’m really dying.

“No, no, no, Ordel…”

Rute tried somehow to break the black thorns piercing me.

But far from breaking, they only made me hurt more.

When I unconsciously frowned, Rute finally let his hands drop helplessly.

Tears dripped from his face.

I don’t really want to see you cry.

But too much blood had flowed, and no more words would come out.

At that moment, a System Message appeared before my eyes.

【The user’s life has reached its limit. Contract conditions have been unlocked.】

【Fulfilling the contract between the ‘Traveler Guiding Souls’ and the user!】

A contract with the Annihilation God?

If it’s that, there’s only one.

In exchange for me helping the Temple of the Annihilation God not fall to ruin, the Annihilation God would grant me one wish.

That wish was precisely…

If I die, to let me meet Joo Hyun-jin again.
