"Damn, as expected of a divine descent incarnation. It actually cost me two lives..." Tossing aside the completely ruined remains of Red Blade, Sno bent down and began collecting the spoils.
Yes, two lives. His outfit had borne the lethal backlash from lifting the restrictions, while Medz had blocked the full-force blow from the Divine Descent Body for him.
Even so, he was not in particularly good condition right now, but that did not stop him from enjoying the fruits of victory.
"You should be resting now." Bernadette's voice appeared out of nowhere, but Sno waved dismissively.
"It's fine. I need this near-death experience; it'll help with my next ritual. Besides, some true god is cursing me right now. If I relax, I might just fall asleep on the spot!"
Yes, a curse. Slaying a god—even if it was merely killing a Divine Descent Body—did not come without a price. Although he had immediately activated White Horse is Not a Horse's shielding function after killing the Divine Descent Body, preventing the Eternal Blazing Sun from directly sending down divine punishment, the God's venomous thoughts had still produced an incomparably terrifying curse.
However, Sno was already burdened by the True Creator's curse. As the Eternal Blazing Sun's curse arrived, the True Creator almost seamlessly transformed it into a blessing. Having long since adapted to curses on a God's scale, Sno easily bore the resentment of the Eternal Blazing Sun, who was not particularly skilled at cursing. Although it still placed considerable strain on his body, it also completely maxed out his acting as a Silent Disciple.
"You were too aggressive. A Sequence Three can't sustain divine descent for long. In less than half an hour, he would have collapsed on his own from being unable to withstand a God's power."
