Chapter 464 – Chapter 464 Yggdrasil (4-12)
After Min Ha-yeon chose Thanatos’ priestess, I immediately chose the ice magician as my profession.
What is surprising here is….
“Wow, you are really pretty.”
“Is that so? I’m a bit cumbersome, so it’s embarrassing….”
The priestess of Thanatos received a splendid priestess at the same time as her job change, but the fact that the possessed magician just changed his job.
Min Ha-yeon’s outfit had a sophisticated design that matched the outfits of Asian shamans.
And purple and white, the symbol of Thanatos, were mixed with clothes and accessories.
Her clothes were see-through, revealing her inner flesh, but she didn’t feel erotic at all.
Rather, it gave off a noble atmosphere because of the shape of its inner flesh.
What I thought of when I saw Min Ha-yeon’s outfit….
‘Would!’
[….]
‘I’m serious! I want to!’
[I didn’t think it was a lie. You don’t have to tell me that.]
I just wanted to do it with Min Ha-yeon in that outfit right now.
It was so pretty that I wanted to lift up the see-through skirt that showed off her thighs and tuck it right in.
As I stared blankly at her Min Ha-yeon, Min Ha-yeon noticed my gaze and began to rummage through her inventory.
When she replaced it with her clothes in her inventory, Min Ha-yeon’s outfit changed in an instant.
Min Ha-yeon had changed into her usual blouse and jeans.
“Oh, I can’t either. These clothes are the best.”
“Ah….”
Even when I looked at her with regret, Min Ha-yeon did not seem to have any intention of changing into her bridesmaid’s attire again.
That’s how Min Ha-yeon and I finalized her career choice.
Two jobs left….
“….”
Everyone couldn’t get their words out easily.
In the midst of such silence, Hanbom was the first to raise her hand.
“I will give up.”
“What!? Why?”
It was none other than Min Ha-yeon who was surprised by Hanbom’s declaration.
No matter how much Min Ha-yeon liked her other party members, considering her relationship with Han Bom, it was only natural that she wanted to take care of her first.
Hanbom scratched her head and answered.
“I am a recovery person. Because it’s already a good job. Wouldn’t it be a loss if I changed my job? Because I don’t have job rights like my sister.”
“Ah….”
It was convincing in its own right.
But despite her persuasiveness, giving up an opportunity like this required a lot of determination.
To be honest, I wanted to take Hanbom away for a while and talk with them alone.
There’s a regression, so let’s pick one and see….
It was because she decided that there would be no problem at all if she chose and learned only skills and then regressed.
However, if I take Hanbom away and talk to her right now, the three of us who have conceded so far will be disappointed.
Min Hayeon and I decided to respect Hanbom’s decision.
“Okay, so there are three left….”
So, there were three people left.
The problem was the number of jobs.
‘There are two left.’
Necromancers and Necromancers remained.
The problem was that there were only three people to choose a job for.
‘There is a regression, but it would be difficult to proceed even with this part at the forefront.’
Midsummer was no longer the one who moved at my command.
If he goes to the third floor without our knowledge, this chance will be our last.
That’s why I couldn’t open my mouth about this part easily.
‘But I think you’ll be disappointed no matter which one you choose….’
How to divide jobs without hurting each other… I wondered if that would really be the case.
In the end, one person has to give up first….
It was such a moment of silence.
“I will give up.”
Those were the words Park Seon-hee raised her hand.
She began to shrug her shoulders, receiving the questioning glances from the others.
“There has to be at least one person in close proximity.”
“Yeah, but….”
“Hyeeun is good at using her spear, so she goes well with the commanding knight’s cavalry. I think Jin-hee would be much better at support than melee.”
Certainly, as Park Sun-hee said, it would have been much more efficient for her to proceed like that.
However, pursuing efficiency meant that someone had to endure the damage.
Park Seon-hee opened her mouth as she looked around us with a lighthearted smile.
“Couldn’t you choose all the jobs and not throw me away?”
“Stop, no way! Not everyone thinks like that!”
“That’s all right. I will step down with a promise later.”
Everyone started sending eyes full of gratitude to Park Sun-hee.
In particular, it was none other than Min Ha-yeon who was surprised by her behavior.
Even before her return, Park Seon-hee had a history of alienating Min Ha-yeon from Han Yeo-reum.
Yes, Min Ha-yeon had already fallen in love with Mid-reum at that time, but….
If the leader of the action was Son Hye-eun, Park Seon-hee was more like her leader.
She always thought it was us who only put words first, but she also had the heart to yield at a crucial moment.
‘If I had come straight from the first playthrough, I wouldn’t have had this kind of personality, right?’
[Rather, it is a case where it was advantageous to upload late.]
In the past, she was Han Yeo-reum’s woman, but now Park Seon-hee has no relationship with Han Ye-reum.
Rather, she only thinks of Midsummer as a hindrance….
Park Seon-hee laughed lightly and she began to read Son Hye-eun and Park Jin-hee.
“Now, make your choice quickly. If I keep procrastinating, will I eat it?”
“… Thank you.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Don’t regret it even if you get a better job later.”
Thanks to Park Sun-hee’s easy-going smile, the two of them were able to choose a job with a light heart.
So, Son Hye-eun chose the necromancer and Park Jin-hee chose the necromancer.
After seeing two more flashy purple pillars of light, we were able to finalize our career choices.
After Min Ha-yeon finished her everything, she clapped her hands and began to draw our attention.
“Okay, it’s finally over. Shall we finish now?”
“….”
Min Ha-yeon put on a fishy smile and she started to approach Souta.
“Well then… What shall we do?”
Souta, with her cloak pulled over, began to stare at me, sweating profusely.
Inside the cloak, I could find eyes calling for help.
I sighed and said to Min Ha-yeon.
“Ha Yeon-ah, can you forgive me for now?”
“….”
“Actually, I was with him….”
It was the moment I tried to persuade Min Ha-yeon to save her Souta.
“Okay.”
“Trade… Yes?”
Min Ha-yeon looked at me as if nothing had happened and she smiled.
“Let’s do it. Forgive me.”
“Can I just forgive you like that?”
“Honestly, I must be full of heart to kill that guy right now. However….”
Min Ha-yeon came up to her and patted her on the side, and she smiled brightly.
“You asked for forgiveness. Then forgive me.”
“… Thank you for understanding.”
“Heh… Now, let’s go!”
That’s how we started going back to the gravekeeper’s castle with Min Ha-yeon’s cry.
..
..
It wasn’t difficult to lead the souls inside the dungeon back.
The spirits cooperated well with our guidance, perhaps because they did not want to die.
Rather, there was a separate existence that trembled in fear more than the souls in the dungeon.
“Gwa, are you okay?”
It was Souta.
Since this guy was the most important target in the first place, it was natural to take him with him.
I said while looking at him with pitiful eyes.
“Don’t worry. I’ll somehow explain the situation to the gravekeeper.”
“….”
“You are more afraid than you think….”
“I am not afraid to die. It’s just scary to die without being able to take revenge.”
“Isn’t it really scary?”
I took out Cerberus’ eyeballs from my inventory and peeked at him.
As soon as Souta saw the green jewel, he began to walk backwards in fright.
“Go, what are you doing all of a sudden!”
“I’m not afraid to die. To try….”
“That should be an exception!”
“Yes, yes….”
As I put Cerberus’ eyeballs back in the inventory with a mischievous face, Souta began to sigh in relief.
Souta wasn’t the only one who let out a sigh.
“Huh… Phew….”
“I almost fell off my liver….”
“Where is the liver? We….”
“….”
The spirits nearby were frightened by my actions.
Each of my actions would be like seeing a finger holding a nuclear bomb button in front of the spirits.
‘Didn’t I just kill everyone and take only Souta with me?’
Most of these spirits were the ones who bothered me even before I was alive.
I wondered if there was any reason to take him alive.
[Although Souta is the main one, it would be better for the gravekeeper to take her with other souls as well.]
‘Write… I can’t help it.’
Just as Armonia said, if I did a meaningless massacre and was exposed for no reason, only I would be in trouble.
I began to see the description of my new job leading souls.
=====
Iceman (Legendary)
Spirit Summoning (Active)
You can summon a soul in the spirit world by consuming mana.
Abilities and inclinations are categorized, so you can find a soul with the ability you want.
It is also possible to name and call a specific soul.
Soul Communion (Active)
The more often you meet the soul or the closer you are, the higher your affinity for it.
Possession (Active)
He can use abilities he had during his lifetime by summoning, or possessing, spirits that roam around his body.
Depending on the level and favorability, the maintenance time and level of ability go up.
=====
Perhaps the spirit world is referring to Neo Niflheim.
I immediately started using Spirit Summoning.
=====
Please decide which soul ability category you want.
Martial arts, magic, recovery….
=====
The method was simple.
Once the ability category was decided, the job category appeared in it, and the desired job was summoned.
There was also an explanation that the summoned beings were summoned on their own to a certain extent according to the disposition of the ice magician.
But what mattered to me was not that kind of job summoning.
=====
Category: Souta Takeichi
=====
When I pointed at it, Souta, who had been walking behind me, suddenly disappeared with a shush, then jumped out in front of me as if teleported.
“What! What, what!”
“Ah, I summoned you. It goes well.”
“Whoa… It’s a surprise.”
You have a small liver… Ah, since it’s a soul, there must be no liver.
While watching Souta summoned in front of me like that, I developed my possessive art.
That was the moment.
“Huh….”
Suddenly Souta was sucked into my body and disappeared.
And the explanation started to appear before my eyes.
=====
Possession
Target: Souta Takeichi
Occupation: hypnotist
Ability list
Hypnotic Brainwashing (Passive)
Looking into the other person’s eyes creates a brainwashing gauge, and the longer you look at it, the brainwashing gauge increases.
The speed at which the gauge fills up depends on the opponent’s overall ability.
Mind manipulation
You can control your mind by consuming the brainwashing gauge.
Memory manipulation
You can manipulate memories by consuming the brainwashing gauge.
=====
‘Perfect!’
Looking at the abilities on the list, I cheered inwardly.
[Since the ability has been manifested once, it is now possible to learn the ability even if the possessor is released.]
‘Great!’
This is it.
Wanted this
I immediately removed the magic of possession and pulled Souta out of my body again.
“Kuhuhh… I’m surprised! Just give me some simple words!”
“Oh, sorry, sorry.”
I’m not really sorry.
I put on a look of no apology, waved his hand, and moved him aside as if to get out of the way.
Souta grumbled and then walked alongside me again and started explaining about hypnosis.
We talked quietly so that the spirits and members who were following us could not hear us just in case.
“First of all, the ability to hypnotize begins with collecting gauges.”
The first ability, hypnosis brainwashing, is passive, and he explained that just looking into the other person’s eyes automatically fills up the brainwashing gauge.
The gauge was accumulated separately for each opponent, and it was a method of using the ability by consuming the brainwashing gauge accumulated on the opponent.
“The act of collecting gauges is not a problem at all. The problem comes next.”
The act of collecting the gauge itself was not a criminal element, but the act of consuming the gauge itself was considered a criminal act.
In other words, it meant that you shouldn’t use the ability recklessly, except for PVP battles and red summoners, just like other offensive abilities.
Even unlike other offensive abilities, the hypnotic ability….
“You have to be careful because the moment you use it, you instantly become a Red Summoner.”
“Right without going through the orange?”
“Okay. However, if you go beyond mind manipulation and achieve perfect memory manipulation, you can make it a non-existent thing. Gauge management is key….”
Mind manipulation was a type of abnormality.
However, memory manipulation was a skill with the ability to make such an abnormal state unrecognizable.
It meant that if you used your ability well, you could manipulate the other person without being noticed.
But when you make a mistake….
“It’s out right now, so be careful.”
“OK.”
In fact, I had no intention of using hypnotism in Yggdrasil.
Yggdrasil has a perfectly built surveillance system, so using hypnosis is a risk.
Not to mention, even the orange summoner mark on top of my head didn’t disappear….
The reason I tried to learn hypnotism in the first place was for when I went to another world.
‘If you go to another place, you will be able to use it as comfortably as possible. First… Shall we practice using this guy?’
I practiced possessive arts and spirit summoning techniques using Souta.
Like me, the other members were busy using the skills they had learned this time.
I didn’t notice the time passing as each practiced their new ability, and I was able to arrive at the gravekeeper’s castle in no time.
As soon as we arrived at the castle, we were greeted by the gravekeeper.
“Ho-ho-ho! I didn’t know you could solve it in such a short time! Thank you very much.”
“I’m glad to be of help. By the way, Grave Keeper, the friend I brought….”
After I explained about Souta, who was trembling in the distance, I started defending myself against the gravekeeper, wondering if he would annihilate his soul.
Surprisingly, however, the gravekeeper did not criticize Souta too much.
“Ho-ho-ho. You don’t have to worry about that. I am the manager here, not the one in charge of the execution of sins.”
“Aha… Then you won’t kill me?”
“In the first place, the soul doesn’t die like that.”
“Uh? What about the souls I killed?”
“They have already been summoned back to town.”
I explained that the spirits I thought I had killed with lightning were summoned to the village.
If it was divine-type magic, it would have really disappeared, but fortunately, the gravekeeper’s explanation was that it was not destroyed by thunder-attribute magic.
“However, if you keep getting hit by the magic you used, it will surely disappear. Please be careful. Wouldn’t it be too harsh for them to put out the last embers of their souls?”
“I will keep that word in mind.”
“Ho-ho-ho. You nag too much at the benefactor I helped you with. You’ve worked hard this time, so here for a while… No, you can rest for the rest of your life.”
I thought it was a dead man’s joke and laughed.
I smiled and started asking the gravekeeper.
“Did my comrades who remained in the castle get into an accident while we were gone?”
Midsummer.
I was worried that I might have had an accident while I was away for a while.
Above all, Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom were also away, so there was no one to control them when they ran out of control….
“Ah… That friend….”
Said the gravekeeper, scratching her cheek with her bony fingers.
“Since the day you left, he hasn’t come out of the room at all.”
