Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 254 Purging Impurities

The brilliant light that travelled in an expansive arc had a unique effect as it through an individual with a powerful pushing effect that wasn’t meant to stagger or make them fall.

Peculiar oddities would gush out of their bodies, in a hazy form, some looking like dark images in the likeness of the individual who had been stuck by the light!

This truly looked like… a purging.

The purging of impure entities!

Thousands of these dark and ugly beings rose from the thousands of people as the light struck them, these images dissipating into black particles that were lost forever!

It was a wondrous scene, especially when one looked at its effect on those that were afflicted with the ailment and frenzy as the moment the bright arc passed through them, a screech was heard as dark purple mist spilled from their bodies and rose up before it burned!

Sparks of fire devoured it whole, leaving nothing but frozen men and women that had bloodied bodies which slowly began to heal as the lingering halo of light from the arching power touched their bodies!

Those that had been frenzied grew still and calm, breathing in as their eyes returned to normal.

Just like that.

The masses were awed as they recovered, feeling better even when they had not been the ones who needed saving!

They felt refreshed, as if something within them had been washed and made brand new!

Gertreld, Ginie and Natalika smiled as they took in the light’s effect which manifested as a temporary boost to their stats and a permanent boost to their blessings.

The Town leader’s eyes widened in surprise as he watched this unfold.

He had expected the arduous process of relieving just one of the patients at a time like Tulnas and his group had done on their last visit._.

Amidst the awe and joy, one individual was stuck in place as his eyes almost popped out of his sockets!

A mixture of emotion roared from his body as he saw a terrific notification from his guidance!

[An incredibly powerful surge of Divine energy is acting upon your body]

[The surge of Divine energy has identified three impurities which it seeks to purge]

[Doom Factor 1 has been detected – Can be purged]

[Doom Factor 2 has been detected – Cannot be purged]

[UNCoddled has been detected – Can be purged]

[….processing]

[Divine energy detected is insufficient to purge both removable impurities]

[Divine energy can only be harnessed to purge a single impurity of your choice]

Skullius trembled.

This was…. fantastic!

He could get rid of one of the pains in his ass!

What fortune!

What intensely marvellous fortune!

Skullius almost leapt up in joy.

What kind of item was the object that Tulnas held?!

Skullius checked its information right away with his guidance field.

~~~

[Seed of Quintess’ Eye]

-???-

???

-Special Effects-

Can purge all odd impurities provided they rank below Divinity.

-Usage limited to after it has been charged with Primus for 500 days-

~~~

…!

Ridiculous!

Even though much of the information on this thing was not shown to Skullius, the effect of this treasure was incredible!

He chose not to waste anymore time as he made his decision.

It could be said that Doom Factor 1 and 2 were greater threats than UNCoddled but Skullius couldn’t help but also be concerned about the curse.

In long term, it could easily get him killed if he killed off someone important with powerful witnesses nearby.

Still, though, so far, he was in the clear. If he could at least get rid of the annoying Doom Factor 1 which resumed pursuit after every three days, that would be a great weight off of him.

As Skullius was about to choose, he watched the panel in front of him show some of the words that he dreaded the most!

[Interruption detected…]

“What now?!” Skullius thought as his eyes bulged again.

And then…

A tugging force came from his chest, pulling him downwards with a staggering amount of familiar power!

Skullius had a bad feeling about this, and soon enough, he understood why.

[The ‘Binds of Fukal’ resist the effects of ‘Seed of Quintess’ Eye’]

[All Divine energy has been negated and forcefully repelled from Discount Human body]

“…”

Skullius… froze.

While there were joyful echoes around of him of celebration as the people rejoiced at having their own saved from disease and madness, he simply wore a blank look as he looked at the screen in front of him which eventually vanished.

The Discount Human finally slumped to the ground, looking dazedly at the sky as he did so.

“WHAT. THE. FLESH?” Skullius said with a low tone of voice.

Red Rage noticed Skullius’ chaotic emotions and rushed up to him, placing his hand on Skullius’ shoulder.

The Discount Human didn’t react.

He had been given hope which was then brutally bashed against a stone.

His own Hidden class was working against him.

The more he thought about it, the more he realised it made sense and he had just been too absorbed in the moment to think clearly.

All blessings from the Deities didn’t work on him.

The best evidence was how he wouldn’t benefit from the blessing enhancement after clearing a Cluster.

The Discount emitted an agitated sigh.

Even with this knowledge, he was still rather angry.

The crowds rushed up to Tulnas and cheered, going around Skullius who sat as they even lifted the Guild leader up and sang songs of merry.

The old Town leader nodded his head while Gertreld gazed around with an of-course-he’s-awesome look.

The other girls looked reverently at Tulnas too, but the man himself wore a subdued smile as he seemed to be trying to sense something, immediately returning the egg in his hand to storage at this moment.

First, he noticed the Discount Human who was seated on the ground with a distraught expression.

‘Hmmm. I thought this would help with the curse. His expression tells me that something didn’t work out,’ Tulnas thought as a sense of caution overwhelmed him on the subject of Skullius curse. ‘Oh, well. This confirms that this curse is a lot more troublesome than all of us thought. For now though, it’s not the issue I should be most concerned about…’

Tulnas’ ocean blue eyes focused on the lands outside of the town.

He spread his senses outward, focusing on the results of his bait.

A distance from the town, a lazy slur of energy started to ooze, signalling the coming of something that Tulnas was readily awaiting.

‘There it is…’
