< Episode 19 Loneliness (3) >
As it was nearing the end of its transformation it was gradually regaining its sense of reason.
Of course even if my reason returned I was still eroded by madness so it was inevitable that I would feel endless hunger.
That’s why she constantly ate whatever she could find.
The only thing it could eat were vengeful spirits in the same situation as itself.
For over a dozen years I ate and ate these vengeful spirits that were trapped under this cliff screaming and suffering.
It wasn’t like this from the beginning.
When the vengeful spirits ate each other they simply ran and hid out of a desire to survive.
However the desire to live eventually led to an explosion of resentment and madness.
It’s been about ten years since I was consumed by madness and eating everything I could find but something else came into the cycle of repetition.
He looked at the being bound in chains as if he were puzzled.
‘human being?’
Is it really a living being?
For a long time this place was full of vengeful spirits.
New ghosts were periodically populated but no living beings ever appeared.
But how could a living being appear in a place like this hell?
-Purrrrrrr!
I couldn’t hide my excitement.
The dead vengeful spirits alone were not enough to quell this maddening hunger.
However the living being that appeared like this was enough to stimulate its curiosity.
‘Be afraid.’
So I tried to give it fear and terror.
The fear and fear that comes from living beings was a great nourishment for vengeful spirits.
But
“We agreed.”
What on earth is this human?
Laughing in this situation.
And that laughter was quite unpleasantly malicious.
Even if the slightest force is applied the limbs bound by the chains will be torn so the sight of them taking their time is extremely unpleasant.
Oh if that’s the case I will eat your limbs one by one and enjoy the pain you suffer.
-Chaaaaaaaaa!
Mok Gyeong-un who was bound by chains was forcibly dragged away with a single gesture.
Mok Gyeong-un did not protest in any way knowing that he could not do anything with his own strength.
In the process he still had a smile on his face.
Because it was so calm and weak it became even more angry.
So he pulled the chain right in front of him.
-They will rip off all the skin slice off the flesh one by one and eat the bones.
Mok Gyeong-un frowned at the threat and said.
“You have such a noble hobby.”
-elegance?
Cheeky human being.
To relax right under his nose.
okay. Then let’s see if we can do that even after going through the pain once.
-Poof! Chrrrrrr!
At that moment one of the chains pierced through Mokgyeongun’s left shoulder.
It didn’t matter if my liver was overboard or if I was insensitive to fear.
If you suffer it will be different in the end.
however
“Is this all?”
His expression hasn’t changed at all and he’s still grinning.
If this isn’t enough that’s fine.
When it winked the chains that filled the floor like swarming snakes moved as if they were alive.
-Chaaaaang! Chrrrrrr!
– Puff poop!
One chain pierced Mo Kyung-un’s right shoulder and two others pierced his thighs.
As if that wasn’t enough one of them dug into my abdomen.
-Poof!
It would not be a pain that could be endured with mental strength alone.
Chains feel extremely cold and hot and the moment they touch flesh and organs they are accompanied by burning and freezing pain.
Everything had to originate from the mind.
This man is experiencing the worst pain he can experience…
‘!?’
What is this guy?
Still his expression didn’t change at all.
Instead he was snorting and staring at himself.
How can a living being bound by the bonds of the flesh endure this pain without any problem?
While I was surprised Mok Kyung-un opened his mouth.
“Do you think you would be scared or in pain if you did something like this?”
-……
“You are doing something useless.”
-Kurrrrrrr!
As soon as Mo Kyung-un’s sarcastic remarks ended the entire space shook violently as if there had been an earthquake.
It was very upsetting.
How dare something insignificant laugh at itself?
okay. In that case I will eat you alive as you wish.
-Chrrrrrrrr!
The chain was pulled and Mo Kyung-un’s body with all four limbs being held was dragged right in front of it.
Then it opened its mouth wide.
The mouth that opened between the chains had nothing to do with a human being.
Hundreds of sharp thorns were sprouting from it as if it had deteriorated from eating countless vengeful spirits and purple smoke was flowing from its mouth.
-Grrrrrr!
Its mouth has grown large enough to eat Mokgyeongun in one bite.
-Chrrrrrrrr!
The chains on my body were loosened one by one.
With a tremor Mok Kyung-un’s body came closer to the guy’s mouth.
-Chrrrrrrrr!
It was almost by the time we reached his mouth which was wide open from his head to his shoulders.
At that moment something foreign fell from Mok Kyung-un.
-Tuk!
I didn’t think it was a big deal thinking it was probably blood or flesh falling off.
But the moment it goes down your throat
-Chiiiiii!
It was painful as if my throat was burning.
-Keuuuuuuu! you! What the hell! what?
“You can’t let down your guard even if you catch everything.”
The ring on Mok Kyung-un’s hand was not visible.
It was like that.
What went down my throat was a ring containing an incantation made by Bangsa Joui-gong.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un made a beast sign with one hand and shouted loudly.
-Papa papapak!
“Jade rules Shinmuk Yeongryeong Hyeongyeounmu Sangyeol composition Shinmuk horse racing byeokryeokgyubun salary rate ordinance!”
It was the drink of Chikmukshinmu (勅墨神呪).
The moment the cry rang out a bright light erupted from its mouth.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
It was a spell that made a god descend on a ring containing a spell exploding strong power and banishing the vengeful spirit.
It is a ring filled with incantations and burst from within so its power is
-Kaaaaaa!
Even it which had been constantly deteriorating was in pain from the exploding main force.
However this was still not enough to banish that high-ranking person.
Although its suffering body was temporarily distorted it still had its shape.
-Chrrrrrrrr!
However thanks to the temporary weakening the chains that were restraining my body disappeared as if they were scattered.
At that moment Mokgyeongun was in pain and threw himself towards its open mouth.
-!?
What is this?
Jumping into your own mouth on your own?
It didn’t miss this opportunity and tried to eat Mokgyeongun as it jumped in.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un stretched out his hand towards the guy’s throat.
-Park!
and
‘Without hopelessness Ihyeongwisimyang Muojeongeosang Musanghyeongwijeon Magaryanghaegeo Haemugeukhyeol.’
I memorized the formula for wearing clothes.
It was a winning decision.
The most direct way to absorb the morale of this huge mass of resentment.
It was targeting the body.
Since I was bound by chains outside this was my only option.
however
-Suuuuuk!
‘huh?’
Rather than absorbing the man’s energy Mok Gyeong-un’s body which was performing a ritual was sucked deep into the mouth as if it had been pushed down by weight.
Mu Qingyun’s body fell deep inside as if there was a hidden space in his mouth.
-Shoouuuuuuck!
In the darkness like an abyss.
Mo Qingyun’s body was sucked toward the source of the thing.
In the process memories of it partially flowed in like a flash.
[older brother! older brother! I will always be with you.]
[I will support this family as my brother’s right hand man. Don’t worry.]
My brother follows me with a bright smile.
And a strict father.
[This is for the long-held wish of this meeting. All other descendants of the Five Kings have also decided to do the same so you should also take the lead and participate.]
[I will keep this in mind.]
Eventually I see a familiar place in my memory.
This place visible in the dark was the valley where the battle for iron balls took place as had been repeated several times.
[Gasp…Brother….]
[Take it.]
[But isn’t this what you were looking for?]
[You go first. I can find it quickly.]
[older brother…]
And again I see another memory creeping in.
Someone hits the back of the head with a sharp rock.
I gasped and turned my head to see my younger brother who had been following me brightly looking down with cold eyes.
[Yes you…how…]
[Damn you bastard. If you die everything will be resolved.]
[You…you…]
[You always pretend to be superior and pity me just because you have everything…]
[I….I…..like that…..]
[You were just born before me.]
With those words the younger brother struck its face with a stone.
As if he wasn’t satisfied with just one shot he took several pictures and then disappeared.
Along with that I felt a feeling of anger and tears.
The view that follows is quite different.
It felt like a memory that continued after death not a memory from when I was alive.
-Let me eat. let me eat you
-asleep! asleep!
-I mean die!
Ghosts running around like crazy.
Feelings of extreme fear and despair are felt.
It gradually escalates.
-Why me…why me? Why do I have to be eaten like this even after I die?
-Have you lived just to suffer like this?
-Do I have to be eaten?
-I am…
-I…can’t…be eaten….
-I’m going to eat it all and clean it up!
The madness that had been bitten and devoured by those vengeful spirits soon exploded.
-Aaaaaah!!!!
The maddening resentment was so strong that it seemed like it would be consumed in an instant.
At the same time an unbelievable amount of fraud surged through my palms and the screams of countless resentments echoed in my head.
-I will eat you too!
His madness has been conveyed.
Mok Gyeong-un felt like his head was going to explode from the desperate cries but he did not stop his ritual.
‘Without hopelessness Ihyeongwisimyang Muojeongeosang Musanghyeongwijeon Magaryanghaegeo Haemugeukhyeol.’
* * *
-Kwazijic! Sssssssssssshhhh!
The head of the vengeful spirit was crushed and eventually oxidized into the air like ashes.
The owner of the hand holding the head was none other than Cheongnyeong.
The blue spirit with blood-red eyes shining shouted at the whirlpools that were closing in as if they were surrounding him.
-If you are anxious to disappear come as often as you like. Little ones.
At her cry the whirlpools stopped moving as if they were hesitating.
After wiping out about seven entities that were equivalent to the Imperial Spirit level I was wondering if they were now scared again.
-Paaaaaaa!
At that moment a huge fraud spread everywhere.
At this she frowned and looked at her.
‘no way?’
The epicenter of this was none other than a huge whirlpool.
A crack suddenly appeared in the vortex nearing the end of its transformation and all the power it had been condensing burst out.
These vortices reacted to this and stopped moving.
And all of them moved towards the thing that was about to crack and reveal its shape.
-this!
I barely looked away but it was extremely embarrassing.
If this is the case wouldn’t it be worth it to deliberately expand to the blood realm which is the realm of refuge?
It was a moment when I thought
at that moment
-Chrrrrrrrrrrrr!
-Chaaaaaa!
Numerous chains came out from the cracks and indiscriminately restrained the whirlpools coming towards him and the numerous vengeful spirits around him.
The power was so strong that the vengeful spirits that were undergoing transformation could not move.
The same was true for some individuals that even reached the level of green spirits.
-Aaaah!
-Ouch!
Even they could not withstand the chains and soon
-Shoouuuuk!
He was restrained and sucked into the crack that opened.
She could instinctively guess why this phenomenon had occurred.
‘Is it about to be completed?’
She was finally about to be born into loneliness.
Now the plan was to fill in whatever was missing and transform into the most ideal or even the worst form.
Then one of her thick chains flew towards her.
Not only did it catch and eat the whirlpools but it also targeted her young spirit.
– Did you ultimately fail?
she muttered as she watched her flying chains.
The red kite was seen shaking violently.
This is a phenomenon that signals that her owner’s life is at stake.
If her red kite oxidizes while shaking like this she too will disappear.
-Chrrrrrr!
The chains soon began to wrap around her body.
Then she swung her stick.
At that moment the end of the chain just before it touched was crushed and soon climbed up.
-Pot!
Cheongnyeong’s new form also threw her body into a vortex with cracks growing along the broken chain.
-Chrrrrrrrr!
-Chaaaaaa!
Her many chains sprang forth to hold her
-Park! Pop!
She bounced off everything she was swinging.
Eventually she passed through the crack and entered her.
In the center of the place where the spirit of resentment was spinning like a torrent as if a storm was brewing I saw a being with chains wrapped around his body.
The screams of the grievances that had been dragged away first reached her ears like an echo.
-Run away. Run away. Run away.
-The resentment has reached its end.
-A being with deep despair and blue malice is born.
blue malice
It means that the level has reached Cheongnyeong.
Originally they were the worst vengeful spirits that could only be born after a hundred years of deep resentment but they were artificially made to eat each other and were about to be completed in solitude.
-Shoooooooo!
Even the screaming ghosts were sucked in and the chains covered by the beings became thicker.
At this she snorted and mumbled.
-The young one is very proud. Who doesn’t seem to have experienced that?
When Cheongryeong stepped on the floor blood droplets rose upward toward the center.
With each step it spread out in all directions.
Then as it collided with the domain of the chain’s existence space trembled here and there and blue flames arose burning like tree roots.
-Pachichichichichichik!
Cheongnyeong’s blood-red eyes gradually became darker.
-If you don’t give up the sentient being it will perish here as soon as it is born. Little one.
-Gooooooooo!
The energy was greatly heightened.
It was that moment. As Cheongnyeong tried to take another step the presence of chains suddenly twisted her body this way and that.
The concentrated energy of resentment was strongly gushing out through the cracks.
-Chakang! Chakang!
Is this because solitude is about to be completed?
It was a moment when I was thinking
The chains surrounding him tightened around him.
It’s like you’re constricting yourself.
‘what?’
The process of change is extremely bizarre.
As I was wondering a crack suddenly appeared in the chain that was binding me.
-What a mess!
One crack.
It became two and slowly increased rapidly.
Soon the cracks continued and the chain broke and fell to the floor of Wassu.
Is the complete solitude finally about to reveal itself?
-Sigh!
Cheongnyeong held up her gombangdae and prepared to greet it.
At that time all the chains fell away and a figure appeared.
He is none other than
-Rebirth!?
It was wood farming.
Her eyes narrowed.
-Gooooooooo!
The tremendous morale emanating from his body was condensed as if it would explode at any moment.
Could it be that his body was taken away by perfected solitude?
The young man spoke in a somewhat angry voice aiming at Gombangdae.
-Stupid. Did it really work?
At that question Mok Gyeong-un twitched her lips then looked at Cheongryeong and opened her mouth.
“I wasn’t eaten but I ate.”
‘!!!!!!’
