My Villains Episode 132
34. Soul Sorcerer (4)
As Hrunting drew a white trail, Karamek’s head soared into the sky, spattering blood.
Most decapitated creatures die within seconds. It was a very obvious worldly reason, but it didn’t seem to work for the great shaman.
“Turn it off.”
Powered by mighty magical power and tenacious vitality, Karamek was barely holding on to his consciousness. But his life was rapidly waning.
“You me-”
As the head floating in the air glared at him, Phoenix’s face turned white.
‘Could it be the secret art of reincarnation? No, it can’t be.’
As Phoenix expected, Karamek was not good at regeneration-type secret arts. Instead, he was very good at secret arts that hurt others.
“Rec’ti elarrve (my beasts).”
As the head floated into the air and pulled out spirit power high into the sky, the spirit beasts clung to it. The head, which had been turning pale as blood poured out, was dyed indigo. It was ‘Chungcheon’s liquor’.
Meanwhile, ghosts were constantly pouring out from the cracks in the underworld that split along the horizon. There were so many ghosts that it seemed as if a gray mist was rising from afar.
“This crazy.”
Phoenix, who had covered Hrunting with the great sorcerer’s blood, turned to Ellen.
“Find the Ellen core.”
“Nuke?”
“Yes. Destroy it to close the rift.”
At Phoenix’s urgent words, Ellen raised her magic power. A deep and vast magical power unsuitable for a 17-year-old sensed the changes that had come to the indigo world.
‘The power of Karamek is dissipating!
‘ However, the advanced work of controlling the dimensional rift was not continued.
Thanks to this, the rift was expanding wildly. If left as it is, a dimensional collision might really happen.
“Whoa-”
Ellen spread her magic at once and stole control of the area.
Gooooh-
The sea parted and the road to the bottom of the water appeared. It was the way to the nucleus.
“Only Atalanta remains, the rest go down!”
“Wait, then you,”
Ellen hesitated, and Utequai exclaimed resolutely.
“There is no time, follow me!”
As Utequai jumped onto the ramp revealed through the water, Siren and his party ran after him. However, Ellen was still looking at Phoenix with hesitation.
“Poi…
” Go! Go find the rift!”
Karamek was dyeing the spirit beasts gathered around his head indigo. A huge monster with a tiger’s paws, a leopard’s waist, a wolf’s head, a bear’s chest, an eagle’s wings, and a snake’s tail took shape.
“Damn, it’ll be done soon… Hurry up!”
Phoenix, who caught a glimpse of that figure, left Ellen behind and jumped forward.
“Ugh”
Ellen bit her lower lip and eventually threw herself to the surface.
“Atalante! Prepare the Void Orb!”
Atalanta, who was raising her spirits at Phoenix’s cry, suddenly made a strange expression.
‘…When did I tell you my real name?’
The monster, who had grown as big as the castle for a while, revealed that thought.
Kreureung.
As the monster with four pairs of eyes growled ferociously, spiritual power began to pour out. Hair dyed in green and blue fluttered and the world vibrated. The sea beneath your feet surges and pours toward the sky like rain falling backwards…
“…Liljanun (Going crazy).”
As Atalanta muttered, creating a sphere of emptiness, Phoenix searched for Karamek’s body. From the headless corpse, I took out a pair of rings that sparkled in iridescent light and picked up the stone slab.
‘…necklace. Where’s the necklace?’
Phoenix’s black eyes were busy scanning the surroundings.
Within seconds, Phoenix found a shining pendant in front of them. And the indigo monster crouching in front of the pendant.
“……Ha fuck.”
Hung.
Drops of water soaring into the sky burst and indigo afterimages stretched out.
Phoenix dropped the slate and quickly raised his shield. The original shield made of the bones and scales of the Underlord was already stained with blood.
Followed by a front paw swung like a thunderbolt.
Boom
“Kuk”
The red and black shield was smashed as if exploding, and the phoenix bounced out.
“Ugh.”
With his elbow and wrist bones crushed, Phoenix swallowed his screams and stood up.
Kreung.
Karamek, who had been decapitated, was losing his life force every moment. The indigo-colored monster had already shrunk to the size of a house. However, the four pairs of eyes were still burning with vengeance.
Swoop.
The monster flew away without a sound. It was stealth resembling a leopard and a tiger.
“Whoa.”
After catching his breath, Phoenix suddenly started running sideways. It was a bizarre move that neither attacked the monster nor turned around and ran away.
The indigo monster, which had been flying, swung its tail, flapped its wings, and changed its direction. At that moment, red eyes flashed in Phoenix’s eyes, and Kwagakak!
Shards of blood gushed from under the beast’s snout. It was a spray of blood bursting from Karamek’s torso as he lay on the floor.
“Whoop!”
Taking advantage of the monster’s flinch, Phoy Nyx threw himself at it. Then, sliding on the floor, he inserted the Hrunting into the monster’s chest.
Khang!
The monster jumped in surprise. After releasing the handle, Phoenix quickly reached out and picked up a stone slate that had fallen nearby.
‘Now the necklace!’
Phoenix ran towards the pendant with all its might. Then, the monster pulled out the sword stuck in his chest and attacked him like lightning.
“O uh”
—= 5Three
slabs caught on his left arm, Phoenix threw himself forward. Just before his right hand touches the pendant.
Kwadeuk.
“Kkeuu”
The monster’s mouth, resembling that of a wolf, bit both legs. The angry monster swung his neck and threw Phoenix into a row.
The armor and bone were cut away with a ghastly sound .
Phoenix, thrown to the floor, let out a terrible scream.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Phoenix’s eyes flipped over due to the pain of having both legs torn off.
There was a so-called ‘Chungpa Combo’ for the soul shaman.
It was a technique that linked the ‘Secret Art of Destruction’, which absorbs the surrounding souls and transforms into a powerful beast, and the ‘Secret Art of Destruction’, which inflicts enormous damage in a wide area in proportion to one’s abilities.
Among them, the one I paid attention to
was ‘Chungcheon’s secret liquor’. A skill whose power rises in proportion to the ability and quality of the soul it possesses. I was curious.
-Beast souls and human souls are classified as ‘souls’ the same way. Then, can you absorb human souls with ‘Chungcheon’s Secret Art’?
I immediately started experimenting.
We have prepared a set of ‘Rainbow of Incidents’ that fosters soul shamans specialized in ‘soul beasts’ and ‘soulization’ and ignores class restrictions. And it is equipped with a ‘tombstone’, a necromancer’s exclusive equipment that allows the human soul to be manipulated.
In conclusion, the experiment was a half-success.
He succeeded in absorbing human souls with ‘Secret Art of Destruction’, but when he used ‘Secret Art of Destruction’ in that state, the server crashed.
My curiosity cooled due to an unknown bug, and the experimental character ‘Human Destruction’ was forgotten.
And today I had to start another experiment.
“That’s it.”
Even as my jaw trembled, I held onto the stone slate with my left arm and the pendant with my right hand.
Kwong-!
A triumphant roar came from behind. I hung the pendant around my neck with trembling hands. At the same time, the pain that had only been felt in both legs spread to the whole body.
“Turn it off.”
The ‘Rainbow of Incident’ set, which was completed by wearing two rings and a pendant,
had too much power for me to handle.
I wanted to throw off the pendant right away because of the burning pain at the extremities, but I concentrated on holding the slate.
Ki-
i- the spirits that had flown in from the underworld screamed. It was because of the power of stone slabs or ‘tombstones’.
A power that traps, corrupts, defiles, tortures the soul, and finally yields it. It was the same power that made Eilisha, Karamek’s wife, a ghost.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
When the tombstone was opened, crazy ghosts poured out all at once. Hundreds of thousands of ghosts let out terrible screams, and even the spirits of the underworld were frightened and retreated.
“Ha ha ha.”
I was blind.
Light, life, flesh, moment dispersed, darkness, death, soul, eternity gathered.
I felt like going crazy. Crisis hit with every breath.
Kreukeuong!
A ferocious howl woke me up. Holding on to his faint spirit, he whispered to the ghosts on the tombstone.
“…get revenge.”
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The ghosts that covered the sky screamed in joy. The ghosts flocked to Karamek. I saw it even with my blind eyes.
“Nix.”
“Ah ah-”
“Calm down Nix.” A tired voice was heard. With a faint remaining sensation, I felt a hand hugging my body. It wasn’t as warm as Daria’s, but it was a gentle touch.
“Ah ah Daria?”
“Hey Atilia. Wake up Nix.”
“Ah Daria Daria.”
For some reason, crying broke out. Tears mixed with melted eyeballs and ran down his cheeks.
“Lu alkarf…
something flowed down my throat
. The pain in his limbs seemed to lessen.
The trembling voice of Atalanta or Daria continued.
“Listen to Nix. I made several void orbs. You have to lure him there.”
“Oh boy?”
“It’s Karamek. Car Ramek transformed into a monster.”
“I forgot Karamek Human Destruction. There was such a character.
“Nyx, the spirits you summoned are being pushed back.”
I saw the ghosts fighting the indigo monster. While engulfed in the flames of spiritual power and disappearing, the ghosts were hammering their teeth into the monster…
“Where, where.”
“wait.”
Daria ran away while hugging me.
“You can lure it this way. Then I can put an end to it.”
“Ah-”
I tried to move my hardening tongue. I don’t know what he said, but
the ghosts who were harassing Karamek all at once scattered.
“Hey, hey.” At my call, a ghost descended to the surface. The monster, facing the ghost, stood tall.
oh yeah
Karamek approached Eilisha. The woman who had lost her senses cried in pain. Karamek also cried like a beast.
“Just a little more nicks.”
The monster shrank to the size of a human.
“Okay, just a little bit.”
The moment the couple met, I called the ghosts together. The ghosts embraced the couple tightly.
Daria’s warm hand wrapped around my ear.
“Ainfijar.”
A sudden silence.
By the time the tinnitus was heard, Karamek, Eilisha, and other ghosts were nowhere to be seen.
The vision that illuminated the world of spirits turned into complete darkness.
