Subscriber of the Gods-Chapter 87: What the Mountain King Guards

Lets see if you can crack such a joke even with one arm missing.

As if saying, Lets deal with him first, the follower of the Moon swung his sword.

Just as the Academy had Revinade swordsmanship as its basic sword technique, there was a sword technique within the followers of the Moon that was passed down to those in the sect.

The basic sword technique was the Seid swordsmanship, in which even the person who was cut realized that they had been cut after taking seven steps.

Although they had distributed an improved version that was easy to learn, what the followers of the Moon were learning was Seid swordsmanship that closely resembled the original.

The sword flew so fast that it was impossible to perceive in an instant.

It was precisely a strike aimed at Ethans shoulder. Since there was no intention to kill, the strike deliberately targeted the shoulder rather than the neck.

I got you!

The follower of the Moon was confident that the attack had succeeded.

Acceleration had already taken effect, and to evade it, one would have to move faster than this.

Moreover, during the previous ambush, the Moon follower had confirmed Ethans speed.

Slash!

And that confidence was well-founded. Ethan couldnt avoid the attack, and he took the followers sword directly.

No!

However, Ethans sword, which had merely taken the hit, stood firm on his shoulder, preventing the opponent from penetrating his chest.

What is this?

In front of the bewildered follower of the Moon, Ethan stepped forward and pressed on.

Supreme Resilience.

-Absorbing damage!

-Damage has accumulated.

-Accumulated damage [56%]

Ethan absorbed the damage and then directed the sword to block it. He then lowered his body and adjusted his posture.

Vitality was surging through his body. It was a state of enhanced physique through the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique just before the charge.

Moonforce.

Shaaaak-.

Simultaneously slashing the sword diagonally, an explosive burst of cold erupted. The follower of the Moon guy, frozen in his astonished expression, hadnt expected to die here.

Huuuu.

Ethan exhaled a white breath.

The first time he used the Moonforce, he lost consciousness with a single strike.

But the current Ethan was different.

Its worth using once.

Of course, added to the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique was the power of Supreme Resilience.

He was probably curious about who I am. So, he must have aimed for my shoulder with the Seid swordsmanship.

If he aimed for his neck, he would have blocked it with Frost Sword without using Supreme Resilience. But he aimed for his shoulder.

I know everything about you guys.

He could simply endure it.

Ethan slowly sheathed the Frost Sword.

As the Frost Sword emitting an intense cold entered the sheath, the slashing motion ceased.

Supreme Resilience is truly remarkable.

Even if the follower of the Moon didnt try to kill him, the powerful strike of Seid swordsmanship was certainly threatening.

However, Supreme Resilience absorbed and released all that damage.

The strongest defense is an offense.

Ethan approached the suffering Mountain King, who had somewhat grasped the direction of Hang Woos subscription review.

Krrrrr, krrrrr-!

Calm down. If you keep going like this, youll just become a tiger. The name Mountain King will disappear.

Yo-you human!

Although were the same kind, didnt you hear earlier? Im an animal lover.

Even as the White Tiger lost strength, it still threatened Ethan, but it was no more than a toothless tiger.

So Ethan paid no attention and created a decoction right there.

It was a decoction that could improve the state of the White Tiger.

Ill save you. Instead, lets make a deal.

A, a deal?

Yes, a deal. Ill spare your life if you obey my commands.

Dont talk nonsense! Krrrrrrrr-! Youre nothing more than a human just like them! I will never trust those of the same race as you!

The White Tiger flatly rejected.

Observing the White Tiger for a moment, Ethan made another decoction.

Then he sprayed it directly toward the White Tiger.

Krrr-!

The White Tiger, which had reacted strongly to the suddenly sprayed substance, momentarily stopped its movement.

Surprised, it looked down at its own body.

The wounds

The wounds were being healed.

Although the healing effect of the decoction wasnt very strong due to Ethan spraying it, it was clear that it was improving.

If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it sooner. If I wanted to tame you, I would have done it earlier.

In response to Ethans words, the White Tiger stared at Ethan intently.

What do you want, human.

If the word command sounds a bit unpleasant, Ill say it again. Ill spare your life. Just do me a favor.

Ethan smiled slightly as he looked at the White Tiger.

You, become a criminal.

Horus couldnt hide his surprise.

This is insane. This is crazy. No matter how great my abilities are, it shouldnt be to this extent.

Horuss subscribers and likes were explosively increasing.

Horus is a god who gathers subscriptions and likes more through merchandise sales than videos on [New World]. In other words, in reality, the videos were essentially for merchandise.

The price of the merchandise was a whopping fifteen likes.

It was an expensive price, but he didnt think it was too expensive compared to its value.

Oh, no

However, he never thought it would sell this much.

He already knew that Ethans subscription reviews were impressive, and he knew that when subscription reviews were posted, he could rise in rankings more than before.

But he never thought it would be to this extent.

-Eye of Horus, its a bit expensive, but the cost-effectiveness is definitely good.

-You can use it as soon as you buy it, and there are many ways to use it, so its really good.

-Its a bit painful for the eyes, but its still usable!

-Subscribing after seeing the review of [Only subscribed to the right gods]. Definitely worth subscribing to this god.

There were plenty of praises in the subscription reviews.

Also, Ethans posted subscription reviews had a lot of likes.

Its quite intimidating. Can these countless subscribers be swayed by just one subscription review?

Horus looked at the subscription review written by Ethan. The subscription review, consisting of both text and video, thoroughly detailed the abilities one could obtain by subscribing to Horus.

This is it.

After repeatedly reviewing Ethans subscription review, Horus understood why it was so popular.

Hes created videos that vividly showcase the abilities obtained when subscribing to gods like us.

Moreover, it not only presented the abilities but also suggested how to use them and provided information on when subscribing would be beneficial.

In essence, the subscription review by [Only subscribed to the right gods] could be considered a guidepost.:

Because the subscribers consider efficiency.

In a sense, this was a strategy. The strategy of [New World].

Kuhuhuhu.

Horus, who had considered this, couldnt contain the smile that emerged.

Im in charge of one axis of that strategy.

He couldnt be happier.

Could I finish it with just one merchandise? Probably not. I cant leave it like this for my new premium subscribers!

Horus began preparing new merchandise exclusively for premium subscribers.

Krk, krrk.

The white tiger shook its front paw.

The pain and dizziness that were present just a moment ago had disappeared as if it were a lie.

Now recovered, the white tiger observed another person digging through the belongings of the one who had just tried to kill it.

Oh, theres quite a lot here. Is he going to tame monsters with these? This is what he threw at the White Tiger earlier to nullify the divine power.

Thanks to you, Ive recovered.

The white tiger, while picking up items, spoke to Ethan, making a growling sound.

About what you said earlier, did I hear it correctly?

Yeah, I spared you, so I should follow through, right? Its just as I said earlier. With that, the deal is complete.

Ethan said so and shook the golden collar he obtained from followers of the Moon.

Why do you want to do that? Killing that person just now was probably to stop what that person was trying to do. In that case, I wouldnt have a reason to run amok in Ivecar.

This plan needs to proceed as it is. Of course, those who need to die should die, and those who shouldnt die will die in the intended direction.

The white tiger understood Ethans intention in a moment.

Is there something you need to hide?

Yeah.

In that case, I understand. Since you spared my life. But I have something to protect. So, I cant easily leave this place.

Something to protect?

After looking at Ethan for a moment, the white tiger turned its back. Then, as if inviting Ethan to follow, it swiftly moved forward.

Ethan followed the white tiger.

After following for about 10 minutes, a cliff appeared. The white tiger descended down the cliff as if sliding down, and soon its figure disappeared.

Hmm.

Ethan stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down. It was a cliff where the bottom was not visible. Ethan, as the white tiger had shown earlier, descended down the cliff just like that.

While descending like that, the white tiger, biting Ethans back, threw him backward as if tossing him aside.

Doing a somersault in the air and landing perfectly, Ethan realized what the white tiger was guarding.

This is

This is where Im guarding. I received grace from her and became her lion.

A lion.

The white tiger looked at Ethan with disdainful eyes.

But this

Ethan, pretending to be indifferent, stroked his chin while looking at the entrance. It was an entrance he had seen somewhere before.

It looked like the entrance to a temple

With a hint of caution, Ethan slowly drew Frost Sword Leas. The power of Moon Force began to spread through Frost Sword.

Huh!

The Mountain King White Tiger involuntarily opened its mouth.

A descendant of the goddess No, are you a descendant?

What Mountain King White Tiger was guarding was the temple of Moonforce, the goddess of the moon.

Having quickly assessed the situation, Ethan, who had become serious, turned to look at the white tiger.

The goddess sensed a danger. As her descendant, I, have come to protect the mountain king of the Grand Horn. Youve been doing a good job of guarding the goddesss temple until now.

Grrr!

The white tiger closed its eyes and growled.

It had guarded this temple for a long time. Although the goddess did not respond, it had lived thinking of repaying the grace it had received someday.

Did it work?

Thinking that he didnt really know, Ethan entered the temple of Moon Force without hesitation.

-Found the temple of Moon Force!

This temple of Moon Force was much cleaner and larger than the two temples Ethan had found before.

The central statue was the same, and the altar was neat.

Most importantly, there were long chairs for prayer, which were hard to find in the previous temples.

I have guarded diligently. Many guys tried to come in, but they were defeated with the fangs and claws given by the goddess.

The Mountain King spoke with a proud voice.

Are you really a descendant of the goddess? Then, what you said earlier

I am fulfilling the goddesss mission.

I see. So you were hiding it. I couldnt properly recognize the power due to the magic of that nasty guy earlier. I apologize.

As if understanding everything now, the Mountain King let out a growl, a mournful sound.

I understand. If theres anything I can help with, Ill help you, descendant.

This place must be protected, but the important thing was not the temple but the goddess. If they were a descendant who received a mission from the goddess, the White Tiger had to put everything aside and help.

The Mountain King White Tiger approached the statue of the goddess.

The statue depicted Moon Force with closed eyes, spreading her hands as if embracing. Below, the white tiger prayed.

Ethan also slowly stood in front of the statue.

-Will you pray?

Ethan quietly closed his eyes and prayed.

I just happened to come here. Still, since I saved the white tiger that was guarding the temple, please help me in many ways.

Shaaaah-.

The blessing of Moonforce descended upon Ethans head.

-The goddess of the moon bestows her blessing upon you!

-Your class has grown.

Since he didnt directly save the temple from a crisis like before, there wasnt a dramatic reward.

However, his class had undeniably grown.

A new star has been added.

Now, all his stats had increased by +30.

My body feels a bit lighter.

Ethan raised Frost Sword Leas and swung it several times in the same spot. The force going in was definitely different from before.

The Mountain King also stood up from its place, as if the prayer had ended.

Let me explain the plan. Two days from now, on the day of the parent observation class, you should kill two people as I instructed. And attack the two teachers moderately.

Understood, descendant.
