Munchkin Disciple Wants to Stop Being Obsessed Over

Honestly, taking the lives of the Count and Jeti wasn’t particularly difficult for me.

Cayden and Jeti were opponents I could easily handle if I pushed myself a little.

But the problem was what came after.

‘Nothing hurts more than having your house robbed.’

I deceived the Scale countless times and operated an amount of mana far beyond the limits of my body.

Inevitably, there would be a backlash on my body, but how severely it would come was hard to predict.

Why? Because even for me, this was the first time I had pushed myself this far.

In such a situation, if by any chance the backlash had come earlier than I expected, and at that moment Dunkel had appeared before me?

Far from saving Rose, I would have faced the worst bad ending.

‘But not now. You are dead now.’

The backlash that had rushed like a wave to my body had long subsided.

There are no troublesome issues like Rose’s safety or post-battle complications like before.

So I just need to draw my sword and cut.

Of course, Dunkel, estimated to be at the 6th circle or above, might be stronger than me.

But it didn’t matter.

Because I had one trait that was like a cheat key.

[Vessel of Sin]

-You are a being crafted to contain the seven deadly sins.

-You can exert tremendous influence over beings of lower rank.
*Completely immune to all mental magic.
*Can subjugate opponents with a high probability.
*Only applies to beings with dark magic.

-Insufficient level to view more information.

Dunkel, as a believer of the Chaos Church, carries dark magic in his body. So I can exert tremendous influence over him.

That’s why. The reason I’m confident I would never lose to Dunkel.

‘Well, I don’t intend to use it right away.’

While it’s certainly a good ability, I plan to keep it as a last resort.

‘There’s no need for me to suffer a loss in dealing with such individuals.’

According to my Master, as a Vessel of Sin, I should avoid actions and thoughts befitting sin.

Otherwise, irreversible consequences might befall me, or something like that.

‘Is it up ahead?’

While walking with these thoughts, I soon felt Dunkel’s dark magic from close by.

Sure enough, Dunkel and two figures begin to appear in my sight.

“…This crazy bastard.”

Seeing Count Cayden and Jeti next to Dunkel, curses immediately escaped my lips.

For good reason. They had become beings that could no longer be called Count Cayden and Jeti.

“S-Save…”

Count Cayden, having been attacked by Dunkel it seems, had a hole in his chest area. His skin had turned dark, and black bubbles could be seen boiling in places.

Looking with the Penetrating Eye, a black magic circle was engraved on his abdomen.

“Re-Revenge…”

Cayden’s appearance was gentlemanly compared to Jeti’s.

I clearly saw his arms being cut off, yet.

Purple arms had sprouted from Jeti’s stumps.

That’s not all. On those arms, the faces of the knights who had died were grotesquely embedded with their eyes wide open.

“Oh, who is this? If it isn’t the little knight who led these people to the fate of the undead.”

Did he notice me biting my lips?

Dunkel grinned and greeted me as if pleased to see me.

“What have you done?”

I drew my sword, infused my body with mana, and asked him.

“As you can see, I conducted a small ritual to help these unjustly killed individuals get their revenge.”

“…”

“Oh, don’t look at me with such contempt in your eyes. It’s good for both of us. They can carry out their revenge even after death, and I can get my hands on the Vessel of Sin.”

“You son of… What?”

I was about to curse at him, but due to an unexpected word from Dunkel’s mouth, I couldn’t finish my curse.

“Why are you suddenly so surprised? Oh, did you think I wouldn’t know?”

“How did you know?”

“My church has been desperately looking for a boy with black hair and red eyes for the past two years.”

“I can’t be the only person who looks like that.”

“Among them, the only one who could defeat a Sword Expert and a 5th circle magician before reaching puberty would be you.”

Listening to Dunkel’s words, I almost nodded. Honestly, even I thought so.

‘So the Chaos Church was looking for me.’

Having not heard any news about it, I had momentarily forgotten.

The fact that this body was molded by the Chaos Church to contain sin, and that I had escaped from those Chaos Church folks.

“But at the place where you fought earlier, there was no residue of dark magic. Rather, only residues of mana with the opposite nature remained.”

“Thanks to that, I could be certain. This child has rejected his destiny as sin. Therefore!”

Dunkel raised black haze in both his hands and began to move his tongue in earnest.

“I can devour you to raise my rank!”

“How about it? Would you cooperate with me willingly? If you do, I promise. I won’t touch the young lady over there.”

Not wanting to lose to him in terms of words, I decided to show a different level of class.

“You’re quite eloquent with your bullshit.”

“Yes, everyone starts that way…”

“Hey, you aging lolicon bastard.”

“What? Loli? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you, you’ll regret…”

“You won’t touch Rose? Wow, even a passing dog wouldn’t bark like that. Hey, horny old man. Cut the crap and come at me.”

I adjusted my posture, deceived the Scale, and said what I had wanted to say. Perhaps because of that, my stifled chest felt a bit relieved.

“Hehe, you are indeed bright for your age.”

“Yes, you’re right. I was planning to devour you and then throw a party for these friends.”

“Well, it might be somewhat enjoyable to see you desperately struggling to protect what you can’t, after being forewarned like this. Now, foolish Count and stubborn old friend. Go and enjoy the party.”

Was he angry? Or was he a social outcast trying to act cool?

Dunkel, with a darkened face, pointed at me while spouting words.

Then the things that were once Cayden and Jeti begin to rush at me.

“Re-Revenge!”

The first to swing a fist at me was the monster in Jeti’s form.

What revenge was he so eager for?

Such a question arose, but I decided to set it aside for now and avoided his fist by bending my waist.

-Boom!

Then comes a loud sound from behind.

Briefly turning my gaze back, I see that the once sturdy trees have fallen.

‘What on earth did he do?’

Dry saliva was swallowed. Even though Jeti was a Sword Expert, he was definitely not at a level to exert such power.

While thinking this, I felt an unsettling energy approaching.

-Slash!

I reflexively swung my sword. A black mass of dark magic is split in half. Black sludge scatters on both sides of the blade.

‘This is no joke?’

Perhaps because they had become undead, the combat power of Cayden and Jeti had strengthened incomparably from before.

‘But still.’

-Slash!

As I swing my sword, Jeti’s right arm rises into the air.

“Aaaagh!”
“Ugh!”

Then comes the wailing of others, not Jeti.

The source of the sound is the faces embedded in Jeti’s purple arms.

Those expressions looked very painful, but I felt no sympathy.

‘Idiots, serves you right.’

Thinking it was a fitting end for them, I put strength in my feet and leaped.

-Rustle!

At the place where I had been, black tentacles emerge with a terrifying momentum, then crawl back into the ground.

“Very quick. It will be fun to catch you!”

Dunkel grinned at me, then began raising his dark magic again.

I swung my sword at him.

-Slash!

My sword cut down Count Cayden, who had suddenly appeared in front of Dunkel.

“S-Save… Cough!”

Cayden, split exactly in half from head to toe, met his end like that.

“Re-Revenge!”

-Bang!

As I quickly pulled my body back, Jeti’s fist strikes that spot strongly. The ground is dented and fragments scatter in all directions.

“Divine Sword Style First Form.”

Confirming that some distance had been created, I adjusted my posture while chanting.

I pulled back the sword in my right hand to the left side of my waist and bent my knees.

Right foot in a straight line with the body, left foot two steps back.

“Soul Cutting.”

Swinging the sword that burst with brilliant white light, countless white lines are drawn on Jeti’s body.

-Slash!

Jeti’s body splits along the lines, and blood spurts from the gaps.

“Ha, haha! Child. This is what combat is, so don’t feel too wronged!”

A vile voice from behind.

Looking ahead, behind the scattering Jeti, Dunkel’s hand filled with black dark magic was coming toward my heart.

And I informed him of a new fact.

“Yes. It’s not over yet. Idiot.”

“…!”

Was he perceptive?

Dunkel belatedly spread a black shield and tried to retreat hastily, but.

A white line had already been drawn horizontally across his body.

-Slash!

The sound of flesh splitting echoes once again.

“Cu… Cough!”

Dunkel’s upper and lower body split in half, gushing with blood fountains.

‘Horny old man cut.’

Thud, his separated body and blood fall to the ground.

Looking at that sight, my face grimaces. How can this man be so detestable even in his final moments?

No longer wanting to see this filthy sight, I turned my body to move away.

But.

“S-Spare me. I promise I won’t tell the church about your existence.”

Despite certainly having died, Dunkel’s voice continued.

My head turns. I see Dunkel with a pale complexion, as if terrified.

“…”

Creak, tentacles connecting the lower and upper body are visible. It’s also visible that the split parts are trying to reconnect through those tentacles.

“…Idiot.”

Looking again with the Penetrating Eye, I see a stone fragment embedded in the tentacle.

‘So that’s the Seed of Chaos.’

It was a new experience to see in real life something I had only seen in games.

‘If that’s not destroyed, he would revive like a zombie.’

Recalling old memories, I began to walk slowly toward Dunkel, who was pleading with me.

But.

“Argh!”

Due to a sudden pain as if my heart was being scorched, I had to collapse in place.

‘Why is the backlash suddenly…’

I was bewildered. The pain from the backlash was one thing, but I don’t understand why it came so quickly.

“Ha, hahah! I won?”

Meanwhile, Dunkel’s bizarre laughter is heard.

Looking ahead, Dunkel’s upper and lower body were already almost completely reconnected.

“Heh, hehe. You impertinent brat! I don’t know what happened, but once I’m whole again, I’ll chew you up slowly!”

Ah, this was unexpected.

With a creaking sound, his upper and lower body become one again. He stands up and begins to walk toward me.

Thump, thump, my heart beats as if it might burst. A pain like being torn to shreds overwhelms my weakened limbs. My consciousness dims as if it might break at any moment.

‘I need to use the trait.’

Unable to tolerate this, I was about to open my lips. To use the ability of the ‘Vessel of Sin’.

That’s when it happened.

A familiar voice, like gentle moonlight, is heard.

“I rushed back thinking my disciple, who’s barely out of diapers, had brought a woman home.”

-Whoosh.

At the same time, Dunkel is engulfed in flames.

“There was a germ mass that had entered.”

That flame becomes a pillar of fire, rising as if to touch the sky.

“From what I see, not only did you use power beyond your capacity, but you were also about to disobey this master’s words. My disciple.”

My head turns.

In my increasingly dim vision, I see platinum hair and blue eyes that seem to contain the ocean.

“Master…”

“My disciple. This master will ask just one thing, so answer and then collapse.”

“…?”

My Master, who felt more welcome than ever, curved her eye corners like half-moons and opened her tiny lips.

“Did you perhaps bring a woman into our home?”

Having heard my Master’s question, I let go of what little consciousness I had left.
