The Evil God Beyond the Smartphonechapter 111: divine command (5)

Chapter 111: Divine Command (5)

-“Stop it already!”

The stalemate that hurt my fingers ended when the angel who had been bothering me for a long time flew up.

Maybe she had no intention of playing along with the boring interference anymore.

She quickly widened the distance and started to prepare a different pattern at a fast speed.

Whirring.

A golden ring appeared behind the angel’s wings and spun.

Unlike before, she seemed to use the patterns that were less likely to be interrupted first.

Seeing that, I moved my fingers quickly following the angel and touched the screen.

“You’re talking nonsense. Do you think I’m crazy to leave you alone?”

I had been in trouble more than once when I watched what patterns came out.

Now I had no intention of letting the enemies do as they pleased.

If they used annoying methods to pressure me, I had to overcome that annoyance and stop them.

Especially if the lives of my followers and Estasia depended on the outcome of the battle.

I couldn’t lose them here, neither my followers who followed me nor Estasia who was with them.

That was the responsibility I had to bear for spending nearly 3 million won on the game.

-“Don’t follow me!”

“I’ll never let you go.”

-“You’re really persistent, aren’t you? You must be an evil god!”

The angel with the golden ring added on moved faster than before.

It seemed that the skill she had just used was a movement skill.

She was moving around messily, avoiding my fingers.

Every time the angel moved, the golden trail split, and my fingers touched the air.

The speed of the angel moving with all her might was not easy to follow even with my eyes.

Watching the angel flying around busily, I put down the smartphone I was holding on the table and loosened my fingers.

“Alright. Let’s try this.”

-“Merciful goddess, please guide the poor lamb to the path——!”

“I’m not good at games, but… if I do it enough, I’ll get better, right?”

Whew.

I took a short breath and looked at the smartphone screen.

The angel was moving at a fast speed, trying to dodge my attacks.

It wouldn’t be an easy task to catch up with her and hit her.

But there were moments when pride came along as I played the game.

No matter how annoying and frustrating it was, there were moments when I had to finish it.

For me, this was one of those moments.

“…”

I stretched one finger to the skill icon and traced the path of the angel with the rest of my fingers.

I couldn’t catch up with the speed of the angel doing acrobatic flight.

I had to predict the path in advance to hit the skill.

Or use a wide-area skill that covered the whole range.

Click.

I decided to use my head a little and touched the <Giga Lightning> skill icon.

And with the rest of my fingers, I predicted the path of the moving angel and touched it.

It was a range that could hit the angel, but not harm the church.

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

Dark clouds covered the screen in an instant, and lightning began to strike the ground.

Crash! Boom!

Lightning fell randomly within the skill range.

Maybe she started to be wary of the falling lightning.

The angel who entered the range of lightning wrapped herself in a barrier and started to move to avoid it.

She seemed to have confidence in handling the skill for a few times.

-“You seem to think you can threaten me, you evil god!”

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

If she avoided the skill, I just had to use it more.

I alternated <Giga Lightning> on top of each other in the same area.

The dark clouds became thicker than before, and a black aura fluttered.

The terrain that was hit by <Giga Lightning> would not be safe, but if I gave up the church yard and caught the angel, it would be a good deal.

I kept stacking <Giga Lightning> in the same area.

As <Giga Lightning> overlapped, both a wide-area skill and a continuous skill, the frequency of lightning falling increased.

-“But I won’t succumb to such a threat!”

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

-You used <Giga Lightning>.

-“Goddess, please… Aaargh!”

The angel was mumbling something confidently, but she got hit by a lightning bolt and popped up a speech bubble.

Cracks began to appear on the barrier of the angel who was hit by the lightning.

The lightning that fell this time was not powerful enough to completely break the barrier.

But the situation from now on would be completely different from before.

I fired countless <Giga Lightning> and moved my finger to the <Lightning Arrow> skill icon.

As I moved my finger, a chain of lightning poured down from the sky.

-“Wh… what…?”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The lightning of the overlapped <Giga Lightning> spread out in all directions.

It was practically a situation where it attacked all targets within range.

The angel who felt the crisis reinforced her barrier and tried to avoid the lightning somehow.

But there was no place for her to escape within range.

There was a massive density of lightning falling in every area within range.

-You used <Lightning Arrow>.

On top of that, I used another magic targeting the angel.

Zaaaap!

A spear of thunder fell right next to the angel who was trying to dodge desperately.

I missed the attack, but I didn’t care much.

I just had to shoot until I hit.

I had long passed the level where I had to worry about running out of mana.

-“Th-this is…”

A space filled with dense lightning.

The sound effects of the skill overlapped and spread within it.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zaaaaap!

The density of the noise that went beyond the regular beat and hurt my ears.

In that bombardment, the angel’s barrier was breaking and restoring repeatedly.

“How dare you play with a person as a character?”

-“Aaargh!”

“This is… the power of 3 million won.”

A huge amount of light burst out through the screen.

The beam of thunder that filled my eyes to the point of blinding.

In that overwhelming sight, the angel kept moving forward.

She was holding on with her barrier for now, but a gruesome scene would follow if she got a status effect for a moment.

Did she notice that too?

She pushed her spear forward and prepared to get out of the skill range.

-“M-merciful goddess… please give me the strength to overcome this ordeal…”

-“Aronia. I won’t let you go like this.”

-“Estasia…?”

Of course, I had no intention of letting her go nicely.

Estasia seemed to feel the same way, as she stretched out her hand and created a shield of light.

The large shield blocked the space for the angel to escape over a vast range.

If she tried to get out of the skill range, she had to break Estasia’s shield first.

I smiled at Estasia’s appearance, who was active after a long time.

“Well… what are you going to do now?”

It was a moment of dilemma.

Now the angel had to make a decision.

Would she keep fighting against me?

Or would she surrender quietly?

I looked at the screen, waiting for the angel’s decision.

Of course, my hand watching the angel kept projecting <Lightning Arrow>.

***

Aronia looked at the sky with despairing eyes.

Did the evil god looking at the ground have an endless power that kept rising?

The lightning falling from the sky showed no sign of ending.

Rather, Aronia’s divine power, which had been receiving lightning continuously, was in danger of having problems.

Aronia clenched her teeth and raised her spear at her own situation, which was being one-sidedly dominated by the evil god.

It was too unfair a situation no matter how she thought about it.

“Show yourself and fight fair if you’re an evil god!”

The evil god kept dropping lightning without even showing his appearance.

But Aronia had to keep dodging and blocking the evil god’s attacks.

She couldn’t inflict any damage on the evil god with the divine spear she was given.

She could only attack if she saw his appearance, but she didn’t even know where the evil god was right now.

She had used up a lot of her divine power to create barriers for the proclamation of the sanctuary.

The remaining divine power was not enough to maintain the sanctuary even if she proclaimed it.

“Aronia. Give up now.”

“Do you think I’ll give up like this?”

“I won’t let you go, Aronia.”

And Estasia, who had been saving her divine power, also took out a shield and pressured Aronia.

Of course, if she had enough time, she could break through Estasia’s shield easily.

But Aronia didn’t have much time left.

If she let her guard down for a moment, she would be hit by the evil god’s lightning.

The moment her movement was blocked by the electric shock, the evil god would keep dropping spears of thunder and bind Aronia.

That would be the end of Aronia.

“Ugh… I have to break through this place somehow…”

Aronia opened her eyes wide and looked for a way to get out of here.

She intended to blind the evil god’s eyes and end the fight, but she had spent too much divine power in an unexpected situation.

The evil god, who always fought with ease, had used cheap tricks today.

On top of that, some of Aronia’s ‘bad luck’ had overlapped and worsened her situation.

It was impossible to settle things with Estasia right now.

She had to retreat and plan for later.

“…”

Aronia made a decision and looked at the gap in the shield that Estasia had hastily made.

There was a place where the bond was noticeably weaker than elsewhere.

It seemed possible to break through there with a little force.

Aronia raised her Starlight and gathered her divine power and aimed at the shield.

Crack.

The moment the barrier that wrapped her broke from the impact of lightning, Aronia’s spear flew towards the gap in the shield.

Aronia’s Starlight created a golden beam of light and collided with the wall of the shield.

“Are you aiming for the shield?”

Kwaaang!

Part of the wall collapsed with Estasia’s sharp voice.

It was only a space where about four shields disappeared, but it was big enough for an angel to pass through.

Aronia quickly made a crack in the wall and flew towards it.

She intended to escape from the evil god’s sight through the crack she made.

She flew faster than anyone else in this place and said goodbye to Estasia.

“Estasia. I’ll finish this next time.”

“Aronia…!”

“Next time I come… Aaargh!”

As she tried to escape through the crack, Aronia was suddenly thrown to one side by a twisted air current.

She was thrown to the ground by the twisted air flow at an unbelievable speed.

Koong! A heavy collision sound and dust rose around Aronia.

At the same time, the barrier broke and a dull shock spread throughout Aronia’s body.

The evil god had interfered with Aronia’s flight in the same way as before.

“Uh, ugh…”

She couldn’t afford to lie down quietly after being caught off guard by an unexpected method.

Aronia leaned on her divine spear and got up, looking at the sky with trembling eyes.

She didn’t know what method he used, but it showed a power that was different from ordinary magic.

She had to get out of here as quickly as possible before the evil god interfered with her flight again.

Flap.

Aronia spread her wings and leaped into the sky again.

A golden ring behind her accelerated Aronia’s body quickly.

“Quickly… I have to get out of here… ugh…”

But her body, which had accelerated, was twisted by the air current and slammed into the ground again.

Cough. Cough.

Dust flowed in over the broken barrier and Aronia coughed from her mouth.

Her body, which had endured a great speed, was in pain.

She groaned and coughed in pain, and a streak of lightning made by the evil god fell on her.

Crash!

Aronia’s body convulsed as it was struck by lightning.

“Uh, ugh…”

Aronia looked up at the sky with tears in her eyes as she was hit by lightning.

Cold rain was pouring down from the sky.

It felt like her wounds hurt more as the cold rain fell on her injured skin.

Her eyes were filled with resentment as she faced the pain that kept coming.

The light that wrapped around Aronia’s eyes was also faded now.

Aronia, who fell to the ground, raised her trembling hand to the sky.

“…”

She had no more divine power left.

And her body was not in a condition to fight either.

The lightning that kept falling tore her body apart with a heavy thunder sound.

The clouds that covered the sky cooled her wounded body down.

It was an arrogant judgment.

She thought she knew better than anyone about angels, so she stubbornly moved alone.

The end she faced was nothing but enduring the evil god’s attacks in pain.

“Aronia.”

Crackle. Sizzle.

A huge spear of thunder appeared in the cloudy sky.

The spear of thunder that aimed at her looked painful even at a glance.

With that spear of thunder above her head, Estasia, who had approached her before she knew it, looked down at Aronia.

It was a familiar but awkward face.

It was also a face that made her miss and annoyed her.

“Estasia…”

She reached out her hand and stroked Estasia’s cheek, battered and bruised.

In Estasia’s eyes that met hers, she saw her own reflection.

She was pitifully rolling in the mud after losing to the evil god.

She had no will or ability to fight anymore.

Estasia smiled at Aronia, who was teary-eyed.

She brushed Aronia’s hair with her bleeding hand and said.

“Then… let’s eat strawberries.”

The moment Estasia’s words to Aronia ended.

Zaaaap!

The spear of thunder made by the evil god fell.
