Episode 642: It’s really horrible. (2)
[It was like a giant tree, but it was far from an ordinary giant. Its skin was cracked here and there like rotting bark, and sticky spores and mold grew in the cracks, glowing green and purple.] [Its face was even more horrifying. One side of its cheek had completely rotted away, revealing its twisted teeth and jawbone. It had five eyes. There were also eyes on its forehead and temples that glowed red.] [A huge lump had grown on its back. Spores were constantly spurting out from it. Any creature that inhaled these spores slowly began to rot.] [It had four arms, each of which had rotted in a different way. Some of its bones were sticking out, while others had melted and dripped stickily.] [Every time it walked, the ground beneath its feet rotted. Every time it opened its mouth, a pitch-black poisonous fog rose up. The organs visible between the rotting flesh spurted a black ooze.] [In its wake, only corruption and disease remained. We gave it an ancient name, stronger than any living thing in the Forest of the Demons.] [Morbus, the Lord of Corruption and Disease.]
A huge shadow loomed between the rotting trees. As Morbus drew close enough to make out his form, the smell of rotting flesh filled the air.
With every step Morbus took, there was a terrible sound, as if something was being sucked out of the swamp.
Soon Morbus discovered the intruders and roared loudly.
Gaaaaah!
With just one howl, the poisonous fog spread in all directions in an instant. The poison was so strong that an ordinary knight would collapse the moment he inhaled it.
But those here were not ordinary.
“Ugh… … . It’s poisonous.”
Jerome frowned and waved his hand. Immediately, air purification magic appeared around them.
Grrrrrr!
Even if you use air purification magic, the putrefactive poison doesn’t go away easily. The poison was that strong.
But those here were people who could suppress their own venom. Fiote was among them.
“Oh, Goddess!”
As Piote prayed, a dazzling light of purification spread out from around him. It was a powerful purification power that far surpassed the purification magic that Jerome had used.
Cheeeeeeek!
The flames of purification instantly burned away the poisonous fog that had spread around. At the same time, even the poison that had permeated the bodies of the superhumans was purified.
Parniel looked back at Giselle, gripping his mace tightly.
“I can see the heart. Can I break it?”
The heart, spurting black sap, was beating wildly within the rotten flesh.
[… … Morbus had no weaknesses. Count Balzac of Cayenne tore Morbus’ heart out, but it was not hit at all. Instead, Count Balzac was counterattacked, wounded, and forced to retreat.]
Jiselle shook her head.
“No, it’s no use. You have to crush it completely, even the bones, into powder.”
“How do you know all that?”
Jiselle said with a sly smile.
“Don’t you know me? I am a person rumored to be a saint. The goddess tells me everything in my dreams.”
Parniel laughed as if he found it ridiculous. If it weren’t for this situation, he would have been hit in the head with a mace and taken to the heresy investigation.
Parniel said, postponing the heresy inquiry.
“I will go first.”
Giselle asked at Parniel’s words.
“Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“Okay. When you give me the signal, I’ll put all my effort into it.”
“I’ll blow off one of his arms.”
“i get it.”
Parniel leapt forward, emitting dazzling divine power.
Everyone else followed her.

Grrrrrrrr!
Morbus’s huge palm slammed down on Parniel.
Parniel unfolded his shield of light, glaring at the palm that was closing in like the shadow of death.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
There was a dazzling flash of light with the impact.
The shield of light blocked the attack, but it could not completely offset the impact. Parniel’s body was thrown backwards. It was a powerful force befitting his size.
Others attempted to attack while Parniel was blocking.
Flash!
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!
Several lightning bolts struck Morbus’ body. Jerome and Vanessa’s magic struck first.
The rotten flesh burst out in various places as if it was exploding. Black fluid poured out like a waterfall from between the decaying flesh.
Grrrrrr!
Morbus feels no pain because his entire body is rotting, but he roars in rage when his flesh is destroyed.
Crunch! Crunch!
Before the roar had even ended, Yulien and Gillian had approached and cut off Morbus’ ankles one by one.
The incredibly thick ankle was instantly cut in half.
Paaaaak!
Belinda’s dagger dug into each of Morbus’s joints, cutting them apart to stop his movements.
But Morbus had no trouble moving, as the sticky black fluid kept seeping out and continuing to glue the severed parts together.
Gaaaaah!
Morbus tried to swing all four arms at the same time, but then he felt a presence approaching from the air and raised his head.
Kagagagagagak!
Jiselle’s Aura Blade flashed and sliced Morbus’ head in half.
If it had been a normal monster, it would have died immediately. However, Morbus’ body was already as good as a corpse.
Between the split halves of the face, something like a black hole was visible.
And in that hole.
Paaaaaaaah!
The breath of death poured down like a waterfall and covered Jiselle.
“Ugh!”
Jiselle, who had been hit by a powerful poison, staggered momentarily. Her head felt dizzy as if she had drunk strong alcohol.
At the same time, Giselle’s body began to rot away in an instant. Her purple-colored skin split open and black pus flowed out.
The sight was like a walking corpse.
Gooooooooo!
One of the four arms struck down the still-living Giselle. Giselle barely managed to avoid the blow and gasped for breath.
“Phew!”

Meanwhile, others had again joined Morbus and attempted to attack him, allowing Giselle to retreat a bit further and catch her breath.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Grrrrrr!
Morbus let out a terrible scream and swung his four arms in a frenzied dance. The huge arms tore through the air and the bones protruding from them dug into the ground.
Because of the four arms that were swinging around without mercy, no one could easily approach him.
However, Morbus was not able to easily attack Giselle and her party. Morbus’ flesh kept bursting due to the magic that Jerome and Vanessa fired continuously from afar.
Ghhhhhhhh!
With a roar of rage, black poison exploded from Morbus’ body.
In an instant, the surroundings were covered in pitch-black darkness. It was a fog of death that no one could escape.
Cheeeeeeek!
However, people were able to move without taking too much damage from the poison. This was thanks to Piote casting the light of purification.
The light of purification prevented the invasion of the corrupted poison. The poison burned mercilessly whenever it touched people’s bodies.
However, Giselle, who had been standing back, was an exception. He had told her in advance not to cast the light of purification on him.
Because the strong poison actually helps his growth.
“Huhhhh!”
He took a deep breath, trying to somehow take in more of the poison.
Gooosh!
The five cores that Jiselle possessed spun wildly. The cores began to absorb the powerful poison that had entered their body and convert it into mana.
The rotten flesh regenerated, and the purple-tinged skin regained its original color.
“Isn’t this too hot?”
It was a stronger poison than he had thought. Even he, who was resistant to poison, felt dizzy for a moment and felt like his life was in danger.
But as dangerous as it was, the effect was also great. As if she had swallowed the dragon heart, the mana in Giselle’s body increased explosively.
“Ugh… … Ugh!”
As her mana increased to the limit her body could handle, Jiselle vomited out black blood.
I couldn’t absorb any more, so I spat it out.
Cheeeeek!
The black blood that fell to the ground evaporated, emitting poison.
“Haa, it’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to eat while fighting.”
Jiselle’s eyes were sharp as she smiled and wiped her lips.
He had been looking forward to the battle with Morbus since he saw the journal, because the more he was exposed to the powerful poison, the stronger he would become.
[Because of the poisonous fog, we couldn’t even approach Morbus. Everyone who approached was poisoned and fell down, their bodies rotting away in an instant. We had no choice but to form a large group of priests and magicians and prioritize the purification work… … .]
It was precisely because of this poison that the Delphine Dukes were defeated several times in their previous life.
Because there was no effective way to deal with the poisonous fog that was spraying in all directions.
However, all the superhumans here can withstand the poisonous fog. In addition, the divine powers emitted by Parniel and Fiote protected them.
So, Giselle could concentrate on absorbing the poison with peace of mind.
Ddddddddddd!

In one breath, the five-stage core activated and Jisel shot out towards Morbus. His aura blade had become larger than before.
Kwaaaaang!
There was a flash of light and one of Morbus’s massive arms was severed.
This was a signal. A sign that Giselle had absorbed enough poison.
At the same time, the other superhumans also pulled out all their strength without sparing any effort.
Grrrrrr!
Before Morbus’ scream could even end, Yulien’s sword flashed. His will flowed through the blade, emitting a brilliant light.
Scratch!
Julian’s sword also managed to cut off one of Morbus’s arms. Black smoke poured out like a waterfall from the cut section of the arm.
Parniel didn’t miss that moment. The mace, which had drawn up divine power, struck the cross-section.
Kwaaaaang!
Cheeeeeeek!
The section of the rotten arm was burning and hardened. No more black fluid was seeping out of it.
Belinda suddenly emerged from the shadows behind Morbus and shouted.
“Fiote! To my weapon!”
Paaaaak!
The dozens of daggers that Belinda shot out were imbued with brilliant divine power.
Drumroll please!
The daggers struck Morbus’s back like meteors. The divine power contained in the daggers dug into Morbus’s body.
Gaaaaaaaaaah!
Morbus howled. Although his body did not know pain, the divine power spreading within him was difficult to bear.
It was squeezing his body and torturing his soul.
While Morbus writhe in pain, Gillian continues to stomp on Morbus’ ankles.
Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!
Like a lumberjack chopping down a giant, Gillian doggedly attacked only one of Morbus’s ankles.
Kwaaaaang!
Eventually, Morbus lost his balance and staggered, having lost one of his ankles.
Grrrrrr!
Morbus, who had been staggering, raised his remaining arm. He was trying to pin Gillian down with his hand.
Dduk dduk!
However, Morbus’s hand was moving much more slowly than usual. This was because Jerome’s gravity magic had already restrained Morbus’ arm.
Ghhhhh!
The gravity magic was so strong that it would crush a normal monster, but Morbus was able to move while enduring the force.
“Back off!”
As Jerome shouted, all those attacking Morbus fell back.

Vanessa rose in the sky. As she stretched out her hand, a huge spear of flame shot out at Morbus.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
The moment the first spear pierced Morbus’s ship, a huge explosion shook the earth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the sky turned red. Several spears of flame exploded in a chain reaction, piercing Morbus’ body.
Black sap and spores burst out as if dancing in the flames. Before long, even the surrounding swamps and trees were burning.
Cheeeeek!
The flames engulfed Morbus’ body, but the disgusting black sap continued to extinguish the flames of magic.
Between the flames that flared up and died down, thick plumes of foul-smelling smoke rose.
In the midst of it all, Morbus survived. Torn, pierced, burned, yet never falling.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The superhumans, led by Giselle, began to attack again. Lightning-quick attacks repeatedly cut into Morbus’ flesh.
Gaaaaaaah!
Morbus continued to scream. He, who reigned supreme in this forest, felt his life threatened by the sudden appearance of the intruders.
Even if the superhumans were just touched by Morbus’ attacks, their clothes would melt and their flesh would rot away.
However, the divine power of Parniel and Piote quickly healed his wounds. In the first place, it was difficult for Morbus to exert his full power since these two were fighting together.
There are those who have experience in catching dragons. No matter how strong Morbus is, he cannot withstand their combined attacks.
Kwaaaaang!
Oh my god!
Jiselle’s sword cut deep into Morbus’s body once again. Now it was not Morbus who dominated the battlefield.
The sight of Giselle, who was constantly absorbing poison and growing stronger, was like Morbus’ natural enemy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Unlike usual, where Parniel would take the lead in fighting, this time Giselle took the lead in attacking Morbus.
While Morbus’ attention was drawn to his fierce attacks, others continued their attacks without a single gap.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In this way, Morbus’ flesh began to disintegrate like meat in a slaughterhouse.
