Chapter 539 – 533 Dark Magician’s Magic Bow
Relais, an ancient water spirit who has lived for a long time, looked around and touched humans passing by in the lake where he decided to stay for a short time (700 years), looking for any humans he could contract with.
There was some kind of childish reason for that action, but anyway.
But to this day he has seen nothing but repulsive things, let alone repulsive ones. Sometimes, he was annoyed by a fit person who didn’t show up too much, and even harassed a human passing by.
I repeated that several times, and this time the passing human itself was gone.
To make matters worse, not too long ago, just looking at it annoyed and pissed off something I wanted to crush settled down in a nearby labyrinth.
It seems like the labyrinth will collapse if you kill it with your own hands, and it’s disgusting and annoying to leave it alone.
That person who appeared while I was thinking whether I should move soon.
It fits his criteria perfectly, except that his spirit affinity is close to 0.
A rare and wonderful aura of life that I have only seen once in my entire life.
Even though it is only 50%, he has a personality that is so strong that he did not give in to his sincere threats and rather confronted him with the momentum to die.
The uprightness that doesn’t yield to temptation, even though it’s weak now, if given time, it’s a quality that seems to surpass the contractors of the fiery pig year and the wind year.
The talent he has is also amazing, so he’s the perfect fit. Except for the fact that the spirit affinity is 0.
‘How can I make a contract with that person?’
Relais knows that among humans, differences are more important than spirit affinity.
In other words, if you sign a summary contract with that human, you can even boast to the fire pig year and the wind year, ‘I’m using a person who is better than the four years’ contractors with a summary contract.’
Besides, even a strange mutant spirit is attached to that human…….
‘Aww.’
Relais, who was thinking over and over again, couldn’t see a way, so she licked her lips in regret.
If that human had only a little affinity for spirits, he would have offered a formal contract with a slight concession, feeling like he was growing and eating them. If so, that person would have accepted it. Signing a contract with a transcendental level spirit means instantly becoming one of the strongest in this world.
Aside from that, even among the Fleurs, who are also called spirit-friendly races, there is a 1 in 10,000,000 chance of being born or not.
However, offering a formal contract to that person whose spirit affinity is close to 0 is tantamount to lowering one’s own value, which deepens Relais’s worries.
I don’t think he will accept a summary contract even if that person dies, but I don’t like offering a formal contract or bowing my head in apology.
‘If you feed the fruit of the spirit, you will be able to build a new foundation of affinity with the spirit from scratch…….’
It is the root of the cosmic tree nestled deep in the depths of the phantom realm, a golden fruit that grows there once every thousand years.
It is unknown whether it has formed, and even if it does, bringing it is not a match for the past, no matter how much it is yourself.
After overcoming such difficulties and bringing fruit, what kind of suffering is that if that person is dead suddenly after a while?
More than anything else, bringing it was after that human kneeled down and bowed his head to ask for it.
‘…… No, even if it’s only for a moment, if it’s the personality of that human I’ve seen, I’ll never kneel down and bow my head to ask for it.’
Opposite. Hwanin is a human who will bow his head as much as he can if he has one of the best spirit affinity in Nionebreth and transcendent level spirits catch up with him by bowing his head and asking.
While saying, ‘I just don’t have spirit affinity, I’m not stupid.’
Relais, who does not know that fact, deepens her troubles.
“…….”
Hwanin tried to block his nerves from heading toward Lilith, who was following him while letting out a sensational groan from behind.
Thanks to Spirit Vision’s night vision ability, her girlfriends don’t seem to have discovered it yet.
I strain my eyes and look inside.
Half-burnt and distorted sebum lines strewn about the floor. What appears to be household items are broken into a mess as if struck by lightning, or show signs of being half-burnt, and a large cast iron pot that witches might have is overturned.
However, nothing leaked out of the pot.
‘Did Relais clean up the contents of the pot as well as suck the water out?’
And a bundle of dirty cloaks stuck in the middle as if crumpled.
“Stop.”
Between Isilite and Anne, who stopped at her own signal, Hwanin summoned six barrier panel daggers, threw them at the cloak bundle, then summoned and threw them again, inserting a total of 40 daggers into the cloak bundle.
PER BU BU BU BU BUCK- PER BU BU BU BUCK—……
Every time the panel daggers were inserted and disappeared, a dull sound resonated, so Isilite and Anne, who reflexively took up combat stances, paused before opening their mouths.
= What, what is it? What’s over there?=
=Is it an enemy?=
“…… It looks like the corpse of a dark magician. I didn’t see any souls around, so I tried to attack, but seeing no response, it must be a corpse.”
= Yes…… ?=
“Let’s get closer.”
Staying vigilant until the end, the party reached the end of the labyrinth, a place like the dark magician’s room, and were at a loss for words for a moment.
A room about the size of a tennis court. In the corner, nine women’s heads were stagnant on a half-shattered shelf, and three wolf-headed monsters strewn about beneath them, like female corpses spliced together.
And the corpse of a rat-man strewn about it.
All of them are mummified as if they had been left under the scorching desert sun for about a month, so they are less cruel. If I had seen it in a normal state, I would have vomited.
=Are women victims of human sacrifice? ….=
=This must have been a black magician.=
= He must have died from Hwanin’s electric shock…….=
Isilite and White Ryeo-gang groaned as they inspected the corpse that had been stabbed dozens of times with panel daggers but did not come out with a single drop of blood, and the corpse with six arms and six legs with a wolf’s head, whose identity was not known what they were trying to make.
Meanwhile, Anne looked inside her.
In the last room, the ground was slightly higher, and only 2/3 of the room was blackened, and the objects above it were relatively intact.
What Anne found was a rather large glass jar that she could have held for a one-year-old.
A slightly pale green liquid filled in nine vials. And the womb of a woman floating in the middle.
They are covered with blood and flesh, and some of them pulsate weakly like a heart.
=Is this the womb? ?=
“Okay. It seems to have been specially treated, so everything is alive. It must have been intended to be used as a material for ductility.”
=…….=
Hwanin looked around her for a moment and found something under the black magician’s corpse. He kicked her corpse away and confirmed it.
It is a book made of human skin.
Hitting it with a cane and flipping it the other way reveals what appears to be a woman’s genital organ cut out from the center of the book’s cover.
=… Disgusting.=
= It’s the worst…….=
=This must have been obtained by a black magician. I can clearly feel the ominous energy in the book. If you carelessly touch it, you might be cursed.=
Hwanin, who was looking at the magical power flowing through the book itself, and it was also in the form of black electricity, which doubled the ominous feeling, spread the wave of tranquility toward the book in a forward-focused manner.
In the midst of the grayish-white waves spreading as if they were spreading on the floor, a black spark fluttered weakly at the place where the book was, then disappeared.
“Now what?”
Anne, who was trying to purify herself with a sign, stood there dumbfounded, then she suddenly came to her senses and looked at the book.
=…… Yes. All the ominous aura is gone. But did the wave of tranquility have a purifying effect?=
=Because the owner is the Holy Emperor. It would be normal to think that the added effect has been added.=
=That’s right.=
Hwanin picked up the book, pondered for a moment, and handed it over to Anne.
= Huh? Don’t you read the contents of the book?=
“If you look at the cover of the book, you probably know roughly what it is about, but I don’t think it’s good enough to satisfy my curiosity right now. If we’re allowed to see it later when we’re seated together with the high-ranking clergy of the church, we’ll check it out then.”
= Yes! Well thought out I don’t recommend reading the Dark Magic Book unless you’re a licensed and educated cleric.=
As if she was quite happy with her Hwanin’s decision, Anne, with her bright expression, took out her blessed pocket, put her book in, tied it tightly with her blessed string, and put it in her subspace pocket.
Looking at it, Baek Ryogang looked at the nine glass bottles containing her womb with a little sad eyes and asked her Hwanin.
= How are you going to do that…… ?=
“It would be better to burn it with lightning.”
As if it wasn’t the medium of the curse, the ominous magic didn’t flow. No, although ominous magic is flowing, it is extremely weak, so it is much less than enough to burst the curse.
It would be most certain to burn it with lightning, which Relais assured that it had a purifying effect.
Hwanin raises the lightning of the lightning spirit, which is still in power, with 0.1% core power and destroys the entire shelf.
Then, the wooden shelf burst into flames, and even the glass bottle was melted by bright yellow lightning, and the liquid evaporated in an instant along with the uterus.
“Baekryeogang, smoke out of the room.”
=Yes.=
The acrid smoke generated by evaporation from the wind caused by the Baekryeo River flows out of the room in a row.
Then, when he saw nine female souls suddenly popping out of the air, Hwanin grabbed the balance.
“…….”
I waited for a while, but there is no sign of becoming an evil spirit and attacking me.
Hwanin lowered his balance and looked at the gray-white woman’s soul floating nearby as if she had fainted.
Her face is identical to the head on the shelf.
‘I can see why black magicians are treated as public.’
He can’t use a human body, so he uses his soul for transmutation.
A method of extracting a woman’s womb, planting seeds in it, and using the woman’s soul, the owner of the womb, as a material. It’s an act worthy of the devil clapping his hands and shouting bravo.
It seems that this fact is not known to Yeongdo, but if you tell the great saintess of Ninsil, Yeongdo will also designate the black magician as an official and pursue it.
The women’s souls, unable to come to their senses, float around and touch the grayish-white halo that was still standing on the floor, scattering light powder one by one and disappearing.
= Master? I found something in the pot. Could you come and see it?=
Wriggling his eyebrows, Hwanin approached Isilite, wondering if he had found something, and looked into an iron pot that could easily boil at least one person.
=This is the core, right?=
“Okay. It’s much smaller than what I saw in the spawning pond labyrinth, but it’s a core.”
The core of the spawning pond labyrinth was the size of a human, and the golden sphere was also the size of a human head. But it’s the size of a fist, and the golden orb is only about the size of a thumb nail.
Even if this was due to the difference in labyrinth grade, black gold was everywhere on the surface of the crystal, and the golden sphere inside the crystal was emitting a faint golden light as if it would go out at any moment.
Apparently contaminated by the hands of a black magician.
Hwanin looked at the heart core for a while and then spread a wave of tranquility again. This time, by injecting core force reduced to 0.05%.
Is that why? The black gold engraved on the outer surface of the core quickly became smoke and scattered, the gold was also restored, and the golden sphere began to emit a stable light again.
As I stretch out my hand and grasp the heart core, I feel a little warm, but my heart beats like a baby’s heartbeat through the palm of my hand.
If it’s a similar feeling, it’s probably your girlfriend’s breasts.
Hwanin, who had been fiddling with his core for a while, looked back at her girlfriends and asked.
“I want to break the core, but what do you guys think?”
= Huh? Well. It’s probably better to break it. Even if the core was cleansed, the labyrinth was contaminated by the black magician’s hands. Even if the heart is healthy, if the body is in a state of bone disease, it is difficult to recover……. Even if he recovers, I can’t even guess how the labyrinth that went through this experience will mutate again.=
Isilite and the white woman nodded her head at Anne’s easy-to-understand argument.
“…….”
Hwanin stared at the weakly pulsating golden sphere with indifferent eyes.
If you destroy this, it won’t be transferred to Earth again. Even if it spreads…… Yurppa would have noticed what had happened and waited for it.
Hwanin saw Isilite and Anne stealthily approaching and holding empty hands. Baek Ryeo-gang also puts his hand on Hwan-in’s arm without realizing it.
Feeling their warm hands, Hwanin tightened his grip on the crystal, and the heart core was literally shattered and scattered throughout the room.
…….
Anne, who was looking at the crystal powder flowing down her floor, scratched her head as she let go of her Hwanin’s hand.
=The metastasis did not occur this time.=
=If I had woken up, I would have been a little worried about Yuri unnie.=
=…… ?=
= Ah. I don’t know about Ryogang. She’ll go back to town in a bit and I’ll tell you. =
=Yes.=
Shaking off the crystal powder from his palms, Hwanin saw his palms imbued with golden spheres.
Somehow, it seems that the capacity of the core force has increased…….
Hwanin, who looked around the core room, which was used as a black magician’s room, looked at the heads of the women who had been sacrificed for a moment with their eyes closed, then turned around.
“I’m done with my business, so let’s go.”
=Master, the corpse…….=
“If the labyrinth disappears, they will disappear together. Since the women’s souls have reached maturity, the collapse of the labyrinth will be their funeral.”
=Hmm, is this the solution to the black magician case? If you report this to the church, you will be exempted from this quarter’s obligations.=
=Is it the duty of a free priest?=
= Right. It’s been 2 years, so I thought about what to do, but I’m glad.
= You became a spirit knight. Is there any benefit to that?=
= She was receiving dual job benefits…… I don’t know if there will be any rare job benefits. I’ll have a look. =
Hwan-in came out of the labyrinth with a much lighter heart along with her girlfriends who kept her tension and vigilance even while talking about jo-gon, jo-gon…….
“You’re coming out soon.”
〈…… What are you.〉
As soon as she came out of the labyrinth, Toji’s forehead was gripped with a headache.
