Chapter 147 Mountain of Penance (1) (1/2)
“You…..damned…..!”
“Last words?”
“The curse of fate will…..!”
Yeon-woo brought down his foot on the last priest’s head like what he said wasn’t even worth hearing anymore.
And he looked around.
His surroundings were completely cleared by his Monster Portents.
About 300 players were lying strangely on the ground. Either their arms and legs were forcefully twisted, or they were impaled with a sharp shadow.
A similarity between all of them was that they were all in fear. Since they had been killed by horrid undead.
They were all players sent to target Yeon-woo sent by the three goddesses. Holy knights that were said to be blessed by the goddesses.

They fought in the name of the temples, but their efforts were futile. No one was able to swing their sword at Yeon-woo.
At the confusion from the Monster Portents, they eventually ruined themselves. He didn’t even need Dragon’s Authority.
Swish.
The Monster Portents all disappeared into the ground holding the corpses. The bloodstains were all gone, like there had never been any fight in the first place.
[These guys are boring. Is this all you got?]
Shanon complained putting his sword back on his back.
Under his mask, there wasn’t a head, but it felt like he was pouting.
Hanryeong put down his sword that was dripping with blood and nodded in agreement.
He hadn’t even gotten out all 9 swords. 2 of them was enough.
Dealing with these players might’ve been an insult to his pride.

“More guys will come in the future. Don’t worry.”
[Well, if you say so. Next time, call some better guys.]
Shanon spoke and disappeared back into the Black Bracelet with Hanryeong.

After that, there were several more attacks.
And everytime, they completely lost in the one-sided fight, and Yeon-woo just collected souls without lifting a finger and was able to strengthen his Monster Portents.
The more powerful forces they brought with them, the better it was for Yeon-woo.
With the situation ending up like this, the Three Norns had to stop their attacks.
They acknowledged that there was too big of a gap in their forces. If this kept up, their religious body would be pulled up by the roots, let alone regain their holy power back.
And they had sued too many mercenaries and assassins, that they were financially struggling. And as word of Yeon-woo’s accomplishments spread, people denied their requests.

So although they hadn’t completely given up, they were going to chase after him again after being back to their original condition.
But Yeon-woo thought they wouldn’t be able to do that for the time being.
The condition of the temple of Skuld. The death of Urd’s apostle. And the holy knights that weren’t even that many in number had died. The temple of Verdandi was left, but it was still connected to the other two.
Obviously, the reputation of the three temples reached their bottom, and the believers who had stayed until the end were now turning their backs.
A god’s power came from their dignity.
Now that they had lost their dignity, the three temples were greeted with a cold winter.
They didn’t have the freedom to touch Yeon-woo for right now. Nor did they have the ability to.
‘Then what should I do about this holy power now?’
Yeon-woo looked at the holy power that he forced from Hepburn’s soul. He thought about what would be the best way to deal with this.
It had the power of Urd. So obviously, it was priceless.

The first thing that came to his mind were the souls binded to the Black Bracelet, but since they were opposite properties, it would be like poison to them. They began to show their evil property, so holy power wouldn’t help them.
He had to use it efficiently.
Eventually, he came to a decision.
‘Vigrid.’
If it was a magic sword that got the curses of countless heroes. Wouldn’t he cleanse it with the holy power and put it closer to its original state?
Recently, the curses had been washed off due to Aegis and Holy Fire, but the origin of the curse didn’t easily disappear.
Yeon-woo held Vigrid in his right hand and poured holy power in little by little.
So not a bit leaked out.
[Purification is being commenced. ‘Vigrid’ is rapidly absorbing the holy power. 35, 36, 37%…..61, 62%…..]
[The power of the holy sword is being revealed.]

The rust and blood on Vigrid began to become lighter. Instead, a white light came up and runes that were on the sword showed themselves.
At the same time, the sword started to become longer slowly.
Purification of the magic sword.
It would take some time to wake all of its abilities after cleansing the curse away.
Yeon-woo was already curious how Vigrid would look after everything was finished.
The sword that heroes had desired so much.
***
Yeon-woo began to quickly climb the floors again.
He already had the power of a ranker. And he could use the information in the diary and his Dragon’s Knowledge. The floors in the tens were easy, because they were lower floors.
Of course, that didn’t mean Yeon-woo lazily climbed them.

He carefully looked around the stage to hoard hidden pieces, and he gathered Karma to set records on each floor.
He still didn’t register his name on the Hall of Fame.
He was able to reach the 20th floor in a day.
[This is the 20th floor, gate of the Five Penance Mountains.]
‘This is it.’
Yeon-woo looked at the 5 mountains he could see from the start zone.
From the closest to the furthest, the mountains were standing in a line. They were all so tall that they pierced the clouds and almost touched the sky.
As you looked further, the height of the mountain became taller. From the third mountain, it was covered in snow.
Just looking at the forest around it relaxed people. It was a wondrous view.
