As the night deepens, it is darkest before the sun rises.

The time period when yin energy becomes stronger and yang energy becomes weaker.

In other words, it is the best time to make a comeback.

“Phew….”

Now ahead of me is a race where I can’t move my body.

The old men are standing behind.

I felt eyes examining the candles lit around me.

“Now we are ready…”

Amulets were placed on the floor in all directions.

These can be seen as talismans that play a protective role.

Throwing a punch means that I, too, can get hit.

I took a deep breath and took a deep breath.

“Ha….”

From now on, you have to brace yourself.

I have to take on all these greedy desires…

As I held the bell, the spiritual energy rang out.

I hadn’t even accepted it into my body yet, but my mind was noisy due to greed.

“It’s crazy…”

Unholy energies flowed out of the race.

It was a very tightly packed energy.

Those gathered energies are called flesh.

From now on, I will release that flesh.

“Let’s give Salpuri a try.”

I lifted the bell and shook it off once.

rattle –

I calmed down and followed the sound of the bell.

rattle –

Reiki began to gather in my head.

It was a natural movement flowing along the bells and guts.

As I let my body flow, various scenes took shape in my mind.

“He died unfairly…”

rattle –

I was out of breath.

No, it would be correct to say that it was a feeling of suffocation.

Something was stuck in my throat, preventing me from breathing.

And vague scenes flashed through my mind.

rattle –

I saw a person covering his entire body with a black robe.

Unfortunately, Hans could not die right away.

When I was out of breath and my vision became dark, my throat was released and I was able to breathe sweetly.

I could feel the fear that I might die growing.

The desire to live and die again and again became stronger.

The doll was trampled before my eyes, and the moment I remembered the child, my wrist was cut off.

“It’s not greed. I wanted to live…”

That changed into dirty greed.

Words filled with regret poured out of my mouth.

“Tsk tsk…”

The emotions and connection with the race deepened.

“I will take it all, so throw it away to me.”

The moment I met Race’s eyes, my breath caught again.

Even though he was dead, he was still struggling in this pain.

I took a deep breath and exhaled it as if to show off.

“Haa…haa..”

The purpose is not for me to breathe, but for the viewer.

Because I am now giving Hans a chance to breathe.

“Ha….that’s cool! Cool!”

rattle –

My eyes wandered far away in my mind.

It was so mixed that I didn’t know if this was mine or Race’s thoughts.

I felt like I was watching everything, and I also felt like I was an old man.

“Can you breathe a little easier?”

I dragged them all out to me.

In an instant, greed took over my mind.

It felt like everything I could see was mine.

Even the stones that fell on the floor.

“Tsk tsk…”

There is still a long way to go.

Because I only brought about greed, the curse contained within it was just beginning.

Something seeped into my body.

This would be the mana that necromancers handle.

I felt my eyes turning red.

The area around my eyes was hot.

“The wrong thing is running wild.”

These are negative energies.

The madness contained within was so deep that it could be called a ghost.

rattle –

I lifted my body up and shook off the energy.

rattle –

rattle –

Even though my body became heavy and my mind became dizzy, I shook the bell.

I was filled with hatred and anger.

These would have turned the soul named Hans into an evil spirit.

rattle –

Hans’ spirit was watching everything I did.

I shook off my anger on his behalf.

I shook off the hatred and twisted the curse blocking my throat.

“It was so frustrating that it became like that.”

Did Hans like this?

My heart felt refreshed.

The pain that had been resting on me was released.

“As long as it’s not yours either. Don’t embrace it, throw it away.”

rattle –

By moving the bell, he guided the ghost.

The mana that should have flowed to Hans flowed to me.

This is the moment when the object of lamb rice changes.

Suuu –

The moment Hans’ image became blurred, a stabbing pain arose in my chest.

Words tried to come out of my mouth, but I swallowed them.

Instead of fortune-telling, I ignored the negative emotions that dominated my head.

“Haa…haa…”

You must endure it completely.

Holding on and overcoming it now is exactly what Hans’ soul wanted.

rattle –

rattle –

I shook the bell without stopping and lifted myself up.

I shook my body as if shaking everything off.

My spiritual energy followed the mana and flowed into the rice.

All the Hans were pushed there on behalf of Hans.

The moment when all the unclean energy is pushed away.

I waved my hand and cut off the flow.

“Ha…ha…it’s terrible, it’s terrible.”

The stone in front of me right now was a curse itself.

It was full of lost mana and flesh.

Just like the race just before.

Jerbeok –

He took the seeds out of his pocket and poured them out on the floor.

He placed the bell on top of it and set it down.

“Stand.”

The moment the words ended, the stick connected to the bell stood up straight.

“I’ll find the way for you, so come in for a moment.”

Hans’s appearance had become blurred, as if it were fog.

Now that Han and the flesh have been released, Wraith’s body is disappearing.

But it won’t be completely eliminated.

Unfortunately, we have to stay in the race until we find a way.

Suuu –

Hans’ body flowed through the drops and entered the seeds.

“Phew…”

I took out a bottle of alcohol, collected the seeds, and poured them into the bottle.

Rolling up the amulet and tying it tightly to the bottle made it look quite attractive.

These will replace Hans’ body for a while.

“Rotten people.”

Now I can finally breathe properly.

The hair that had been mixed with Hans’s hair became clearer.

“Anyway, this damn guy…”

Now it’s time to finish.

When I turned my head, the two old men were looking at me with an unknown expression.

After all, I did all kinds of things while shaking my gray hair…

Moreover, it would not have been a good sight to see him fully accepting the evil spirit’s resentment.

” Old Man Paramon, please lend me the hammer and knife I used when carving.”

Unlike his usual smile, the old man’s face was stiff.

“…Sure.”

“You’re not possessed by a ghost, so smile a little. Embarrassing people…”

The old man, who was about to say something, closed his mouth and held out his hand.

A chisel that looks like a hammer and nails.

“The shape is just right.”

Now is the time to give back what you have received.

I brought the amulet to the black stone and placed it on it.

“If you committed a crime, you should be punished.”

A chisel was inserted into the top of the amulet.

And then he struck down the hammer raised high.

Powok –

There was a strange sound that could not be said to be the sound of iron and stone being struck.

Should I say it’s like the sound of hitting a person’s body?

“Your hands taste dirty.”

Powok –

I continued to swing the hammer, filled with spiritual energy.

The amulet was deeply embedded in the stone, and broke as soon as another blow was struck.

Poseok –

The stone broke and the flesh inside lost its way.

Flesh that has lost its destination will return to the person who cursed it.

“This is what is called causal retribution.”

All strength was gone from my whole body.

It’s like this every time I do a ritual, so I’m worried about the future.

I should at least exercise…

Still, seeing as I don’t feel anxious, it looks like the exorcism went well.

The old men seemed to know that it was over and walked towards me with Irene.

“Did what you wanted to do end well?”

“I think so.”

Old Paramon held out his handkerchief to me.

“Then wipe your face now.”

“Yes?”

“I guess you didn’t know again… Your face is full of blood right now.”

blood?

Did I vomit blood?

When I get too much energy, I vomit blood.

This happens at least once when dealing with evil spirits.

When I rubbed my mouth, no blood came out.

“It’s not there.”

There may be a wound on the mouth or face.

I shook my body so violently…

“….”

Old Man Paramon’s face became even harder.

That was exactly the look on my face when I first met him.

“It’s not the mouth, it’s the eyes. Bloody tears flowed…”

“Ah…I said something was hot…”

Earlier, the area around my eyes was hot and seemed to be bleeding.

Anyway, it was not good for a shaman to live well.

“Eray….”

When I rubbed my cheek with a handkerchief, blood came out.

***

“Jake, it’s time to report soon.”

“I know.”

A torch lit in a dark basement.

About ten people were moving, following the instructions of a man called Jake.

“If there is even a setback in this plan, everyone will have to prepare for death.”

Everyone trembled at the bloody words.

I’ve seen it a few times already.

This is the image of my colleagues who have become mere undead, unable to live or die.

It was that moment.

Change began for Jake.

“Wow…!”

“…Jake?”

Jake’s bright eyes turned to the necromancers.

“Who…your eyes are bleeding!”

Jake was suffering as if he couldn’t breathe.

His mouth opened with the sound of boiling phlegm.

“Kuhhh…!Save…Save me…!”

Everyone stopped at the sudden strange phenomenon.

Jake’s mouth opened again as if he was trying to say something.

“It’s a curse spell! Uh…hurry me…!”

Jake raised his arms as if making a hand sign.

However, his marriage was never concluded.

The right hand was shaking and not moving.

That wasn’t all.

No matter how much mana I used, I couldn’t remove the curse.

Soon, Jake rushed towards the necromancers, showing his white eyes.

“Everything..! It’s all mine!”

“Do..stop it!!”

Jake, who rushed forward without even using magic, was subdued in an instant.

Jake’s body seemed to freeze under the necromancer’s magic.

“…Jake?”

A necromancer approached Jake.

“……”

Blood flowed from Jake’s mouth and eyes.

My unfocused eyes wandered frantically, looking everywhere.

His appearance was perfect for calling him a psychopath who had gone crazy.
