Chapter 407: Side Story 21 - Drunken Shit talk (The Devil has descended) (4)
Translator: miraclerifle
“Damn it...! These morons!”
Ju-Heon was grinding his teeth.
He had looted a hospital and managed to get his hands on a healing artifact, but...!
"Why did the number of idiots to heal increase by one?!”
Ju-Heon was going back and forth, taking turns using the healing artifact on Galina and Ilya.
‘Fuck, it won’t be enough because it is a B-Grade artifact.’
That was right.
He didn't know why, but he ca back to find Galina bleeding as well.
To be more specific, there was a giant hole in her stomach. It probably started from her uterus.
There was sothing squirming inside her stomach.
This should be that ssiah artifact, however...
‘What the hell is this...?!’
This did not look human at all.
Was it because it was an artifact? Or was it because this was not the ssiah but a different monster?
He was sure about one thing.
‘This is an artifact that would change the world.’
It was an extrely strong artifact. It was not a normal Divine-Grade artifact.
This artifact's power would increase based on the level of faith and the level of awareness people had of Christianity.
It was the greatest religion-type artifact for a reason.
Although this dating system started in Europe, the birth of the ssiah was such a big event in human history that the years were divided into B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini).
‘This bastard is one that can swallow all of humanity.’
But it was nothing like the ssiah at all.
“This damn insect...!”
That was why Ju-Heon decided that he needed to get rid of this thing.
However...
“Ugh!”
[Move your hand away, you arrogant human!]
“This son of a bitch...!”
Ju-Heon was grinding his teeth after having his arm bitten and channeled his Dominance.
However...
[You can’t make self-destruct with such a weak Dominance!]
The bastard cut Ju-Heon’s arm off.
“Ugh!”
Ju-Heon groaned from the terrible pain.
He was losing a ton of blood. However, the healing artifact did not stop working.
It was because he knew that both of them would lose their lives the mont he stopped using this artifact.
[Alright, next is your damn head...!]
It was at that mont.
Flash!
Ju-Heon’s eyes flashed red and the artifact started screaming.
[This bastard... wait... ugh!]
Ju-Heon’s Dominance was finally working. The artifact was in pain as it was being destroyed.
[Aaah! This human bastard!]
“You shitty son of a bitch!”
Craaaaaack!
Ju-Heon had a vicious look on his face as he destroyed the artifact.
That was when the priests barged in.
“You bastard!”
They knocked Ju-Heon down as soon as they entered. However, they gasped after seeing the artifact he destroyed.
"Fuck, the ssiah artifact was destroyed?!”
Was it because it was born premature? Or was it because of his unawakened skills that would allow him to be the Majesty in the future?
It wasn’t completely dead, but it was destroyed quite severely.
"Fuck, call a restorer!”
"Excuse ?! There is no restorer in the world who can restore sothing like this......!”
This was long before the genius restorer, Yoo Jaeha, had appeared in the world.
A bishop quickly shouted.
"Then Galina, what about Galina?!”
“She’s still alive!”
“Okay, then we will take Galina with us as well. Who says she can’t conceive the ssiah once more?!”
“Quickly patch up her stomach and take her!”
“Even if she can't do that, the Saint Mary artifact is a SS-Grade artifact!”
“Kill the other two bastards here!”
They quickly tried to drag the bloody Galina out.
Ju-Heon, who had a gun pointed at his head, urgently flailed around, but it was difficult.
‘Fuck, I don’t have any artifacts left...!’
But at that mont...
“Get your hands......off of her.”
“!”
Ilya, who had been down on the ground, grabbed their legs.
“Fuck, this almost dead bastard!”
They shot Ilya in the body and in the head.
Tang tang!
“Ugh!”
But Ilya didn't die and broke their feet.
Craaaack!
“Aaah!”
Ju-Heon was shocked to see this. This strength and vitality were definitely coming from an artifact.
But Ju-Heon cursed after realizing sothing.
“Hey! Are you crazy? You used a fucking devil-type artifact?!”
“!”
That was right.
The thing that was allowing Ilya to move right now was a devil-type artifact. It was the devil that had been possessing Galina.
[Human, I will make an exception and respond to your calling.]
Had Ilya offered it his life or sothing? The devil artifact had beco curious and reached out to him.
But he was not controlling it. Nobody in the world knew how to use devil-type artifacts yet.
Ilya was the one being controlled.
‘I'm sure I’ll be swallowed by that devil artifact as soon as this is over.’
But it didn’t matter.
“I just need to kill these motherfuckers....!”
‘This crazy bastard!’
Veins were visible all over Ilya’s body.
His arteries finally exploded and his blood spurted out from his eyes, nose, and ears, as if he was being eaten alive by the devil from the inside.
The priests scread at the sa ti.
The devil was going berserk, swallowing all of the priests.
“Aaah!”
“Wait, stop! Aaah!”
Puuk!
Puuk!
The devil artifact instantly killed priests handling S-Grade and SS-Grade (Divine-Grade) artifacts.
It was showing overwhelming strength.
“Save ! Aaah!”
"Stoooooop!”
The problem was that the vicious blades aid for Galina and Ju-Heon as well. It was as if it was trying to eat up all human bastards in the area.
It was at that mont.
“This guy’s gone nuts!”
‘!’
Ju-Heon blocked Ilya’s attack. Of course, Ju-Heon had no artifacts left.
All of the artifacts he had on him were destroyed and the priests’ artifacts were destroyed by this damn devil.
However...
“Galina......?”
There was just one artifact left here.
There was this artifact called Galina. Ju-Heon was using the holy artifact that Galina had turned into.
Furthermore, this artifact was so miraculous that it even healed his arm that was cut off.
But Ilya, who regained consciousness for a mont, seed anxious.
"Why is Galina...?!”
“Hey idiot. It is the artifactification. She's turning into Saint Mary’s artifact!”
“......!”
“It’s probably because she is considered to have given birth to the ssiah. Mary’s artifact is that kind of artifact.”
Ju-Heon then used the SS-Grade Saint Mary artifact to suppress the devil.
Flash!
“Ugh!”
It wasn't hard to suppress it because holy artifacts and devil-type artifacts were incompatible with each other.
‘Well, this son of a bitch will die too if I take the devil out with this.’
That was the risk of being dominated by a devil artifact.
However...
“Ilya, please don’t cry. I hate seeing the person I love crying...”
Galina hugged Ilya while crying.
“Ilya, I am okay so send off while I am still human.”
“!”
Galina picked up a gun from the ground and put it in Ilya's hand. Ilya beca anxious.
"Wait, Galina...! What are you doing?!”
“Ah. I really wanted to make love to you at least once before I died.”
"Galina!”
Ilya tried to cast the gun aside. But Ju-Heon tightly held it in his hand.
“Shoot her.”
“......!”
“You should be able to see it. You should be able to tell how she is right now. At least grant her her last request.”
Ilya clenched his eyes shut. Galina’s body was slowly turning into an artifact, slowly turning into a monster, from the leg up.
Galina would probably lose her personality and turn into a monster in a few seconds.
There was no way to save her.
He silently cried. She gently caressed Ilya’s face.
“Ilya. This should save you from being swallowed by the devil. You have to beco a teacher like you wanted, okay? You must live a very long life.”
“......!”
Ilya bit down on his lips after seeing the happy smile on Galina’s face.
Tang.
The gunshot echoed throughout the area.
“She was fated to die from the mont she conceived an artifact inside her.”
That was what Ju-Heon told Ilya.
Maybe he was trying to lessen the burden in Ilya’s heart.
“And the Vatican would have found Galina sooner or later. She did not end up a victim because of you.”
However, Ilya could not respond.
He just silently cried while holding the dead Galina’s body.
The devil wasn’t a problem anymore.
The devil that had tried to swallow Ilya was slamd around by Ilya’s Dominance the mont Galina died.
Killing a person you love... Galina must have known that that was the condition required to control a devil-type artifact.
A devil had been possessing her for a long ti after all.
It was at that mont.
Flash!
Galina’s corpse started glowing and it turned into an artifact.
It was Saint Mary’s artifact, even though it could not be used anymore because the core was destroyed.
Ilya picked it up and handed it to Ju-Heon.
“Take it. You said you need to beco a Monarch.”
“......!”
“......I'm not sure of it, but I have heard rumors. Apparently there is a genius restorer who can fix anything. Get this restored and use it. Galina won’t have a problem if it is you using it.”
Ju-Heon smacked his hand away.
“It’s fine. I don’t need sothing like this.”
“What? ...I thought you really needed to beco a Monarch. You probably can't find a SS-Grade artifact other than this one.”
“I said it’s fine.”
He didn't want to beco a Monarch using this artifact.
“I'm going to find an even better artifact.”
Sothing felt off about this artifact.
He didn't know it at the ti, but maybe Ju-Heon’s instincts were telling him that this was an artifact related to Un-knowns.
“It’s okay. There's still a SS-Grade artifact to aim for.”
“Huh? Are you crazy? That’s an artifact in one of the 7 Great Tombs......”
Ilay turned around after hearing sirens in the distance.
“Pandora will be here soon. Hurry up and run.”
“You’re not running?”
“I’m sure they will keep chasing even if I run. I killed my peers. I will face a religious hearing and an artifact hearing before they probably execute .”
“......!”
Ilya had made up his mind that he would soon follow her when he shot Galina.
“That is why...I can't be your errand boy even though I lost the bet.”
Ju-Heon was about to say sothing when Ilya activated the devil artifact.
"Goodbye. Seo Ju-Heon. Make sure you beco a Monarch.”
That was the last Ju-Heon saw of Ilya.
“Ho, in so aspects, you were the very first to et the Captain-nim.”
“Pretty much.”
Ilya grumbled while drinking so more. He expected that to be the last ti he saw Ju-Heon, but...
“Who knew I would see that son of a bitch again a few years later?”
That was right.
A few years after that incident... The two of them would et again.
It was during a mission where TKBM was cooperating with Kwon Hyuk Soo.
‘The aftermath clean-up crew my little brother is looking after will be joining you for this task. Get along with them.’
Ju-Heon had taken his now larger team to the eting location at Chairman Kwon's orders.
He saw it once he got there.
He saw that familiar face among the people who showed up as the aftermath clean-up crew.
Ju-Heon saw the silver hair... No, the once silver hair that was almost completely white now from the stress of handling a devil artifact, and grabbed the guy.
‘Wait. You’re Ilya Volgof, aren’t you?!’
‘C, Captain-nim? Do you know him?’
‘Your hair color is different, but... you're the guy I saw in the Vatican...!’
Ilya seed to have realized sothing as he frowned and pushed Ju-Heon away.
‘Get lost. You got the wrong guy.’
‘Like hell I did, you son of a bitch. More importantly, why are you working for old man Kwon Hyuk Soo? Weren’t you dead?’
Ilya sighed while recalling the past.
“Pandora said they should keep alive as the first devil artifact user and that motherfucking devil wouldn't let commit suicide. Fuck. I then got my hands on a mory artifact. It was great that I got to use Freud's artifact, but it couldn't erase a person’s own mories. It was a waste. I just ended up being noticed by Kwon Hyuk Soo because of it. I guess I received Divine Punishnt for trying to forget about Galina.”
Ilya then clenched his teeth.
It was because he rembered how Ju-Heon, whom he was seeing again for the first ti in a few years, had beco much stronger.
He really did get one of the 7 Great artifacts and had the strength equivalent to the Monarchs. He had been scouted by TKBM and had his own subordinates.
‘You were just a bum when we first t!’
Ju-Heon had snorted and said the following.
‘Whatever. Ti for you to pay up.’
‘What?’
‘You’re alive so you have to be my errand boy now. Like hell I'm going to let you die. You're my shitty dog now.’
‘?! What did this motherfucker just say?’
“Well, I am still thankful to the Captain.”
Saint Mary’s artifact had been auctioned off while Ilya was being tried.
Ju-Heon had recovered that artifact, Galina, for him.
Ju-Heon had swiped it while the Monarch of Panhandling was selling it to Kwon Hyuk Soo. He even created a grave for her.
Ilya buried that artifact in the grave.
Chloe asked a question.
“Umm... shouldn't this scamr be able to restore that artifact? Then you might be able to et Galina again...”
“Oh, that’s right! I'll do you a favor and restore it for our little chick!”
“No, Galina probably can't co back even if you restore it.”
Galina had already died at that ti.
Only her corpse ended up as an artifact.
“Anyway, all of us ended up being dragged in by that damn Captain one by one.”
“Yeah. But who would have known? That guy really ended up as the King of the Artifacts.”
“But he’s such a motherfucker...”
It was at that mont.
“Oh? You shitheads gossiping since I'm not around?”
“?!”
Everybody gasped in shock.
“C, Captain-nim!”
Ju-Heon, who had shown up at the bar at so point, was smiling viciously.
“You guys are so free that you have ti to talk shit about ?”
“N, no, that’s not the case!”
The screams of the team mbers echoed through the bar.
So ti after that...
It was ti for Ju-Heon’s beautiful wedding.
There was also a suspicious dream(?) about having a baby.
