The woman could not understand the being in front of her.

I can’t believe you while giving off the devil’s scent and energy.

It was something that didn’t work.

In particular, touching the soul, which is the most important thing for a transcendental person, was no different from attempting to antagonize the other person through that act alone.

But can you trust yourself when we were fighting like we were going to kill each other just a moment ago?

It was more than just ridiculous, it was just bullshit.

She was momentarily shaken.

The way he looks stupid and says stupid things.

Because he looked very similar to the person she missed so much.

Despite his foolish appearance, there was no trace of hostility in his gaze towards the enemy he had just fought. The sight of him casually uttering an oath to his name that even God could not break was truly astounding.

An oath with one’s name is literally like an oath with one’s everything.

No matter how honorable you are, something even God is reluctant to swear is an oath on your name.

An oath made in the name of a god cannot be broken, no matter how godly it is.

This is because the penalty for breaking an oath was so great that it greatly affected one’s status as a god.

But right before my eyes, this person was threatening the extinction of my soul as a penalty, as if he would never do that. Even though it’s clear that you’ll already get a significant penalty even if you don’t do that.

The appearance of the man in front of me, who spoke as if this was natural, was foreign and incomprehensible.

There was only one person she couldn’t understand so far.

Coincidentally, the names were also the same.

Obviously, the face, body shape, and soul are different, but the only thing that is the same is the name.

The figure before my eyes was so strangely similar to him that it made me think of him.

For a moment, the woman thought of the possibility that the person in front of her was the same person she knew.

I immediately erased it from my mind.

‘… Probably not.’

He is dead.

That was obvious.

The reason the woman is so sure is because she witnessed his death with her own eyes.

I didn’t just hear the news from someone, I saw it with my own eyes.

But how could the being in front of me be him?

It was impossible and could not happen.

We must face reality.

He no longer exists in this world.

I had to give up my vain delusions and look to the future.

The woman came to her senses.

Then consciousness suddenly faded.

It was starting to interfere with the soul.

Normally, she would have resisted, but the woman quietly accepted it without resisting.

Then her consciousness became further and further away, and soon her consciousness became completely dark.

***

Interfering with the soul was quite an arduous task.

This is especially true if it is the soul of a transcendent person who has thrown away the limitations of the body.

It is relatively easy for humans because their accumulated karma and status are low.

Not a transcendent.

Because their souls have a power that transcends this royalties. Basically, it becomes the main axis of the huge flow of this universe. The essence of such people is made up of souls, so it is more difficult to touch their souls than humans.

‘Of course, humans can also be said to have souls.’

It is different from the transcendents.

They felt their own souls and their bodies were made of souls.

But what about humans?

Can they feel their own souls?

Of course not.

So what about the body?

It is separate from the soul, and basically has the limitations of the physical body that mortals have.

On the other hand, the body of the transcendental transcends the limits of the body that a mortal can have, and the body is also made up of a part of the soul.

Not only because of the difference, but also because the soul and image are closely related and their power is never small, touching the soul of a transcendent person was a task tens of thousands of times more difficult and delicate than touching the soul of a human being.

But I was confident in myself.

It was not pride or arrogance, but confidence based on objective and accurate judgment.

I slowly placed my hands on the woman’s body and closed my eyes.

As the divine power flows, it goes deep into the soul with a slight moan from the woman.

I touched the soul as carefully as possible and checked its exact condition.

‘hmm… ‘Isn’t this a bit dangerous?’

What I found out after interfering with the soul was that the soul was more infiltrated by demonic energy than I thought.

Although I didn’t look properly, it was somewhat obvious, but I never expected it to be deeper than that.

It was an unexpected situation, but I was able to handle it well within my capabilities.

As I was roughly examining her condition, I realized that the woman was showing no more resistance than I thought.

It may be that she lets down her guard and doesn’t resist due to the influence of my oath, but if I put my mind to it, I can kill her at the risk of extinction.

Therefore, I thought that no matter how much I trusted her, there would be some resistance, but seeing that there was not even the slightest resistance, it seemed like she had decided to completely trust me.

‘So I guess I should repay the favor too.’

Considering the situation, it’s funny to say it’s a repayment, but it’s true that he trusted me, so I had to repay that trust.

I slowly closed my eyes and the treatment began in earnest.

“Ha… ha… ha… ”

I let out a series of rough breaths.

Sweat flowed like a waterfall, and I felt like I was going to collapse at any moment.

‘It’s so hard.’

What I realized as I started treating the woman in earnest was that it was more difficult than I imagined.

When I examined it accurately, I knew it was quite deep, but when I actually treated it, I was able to see that it had not simply infiltrated.

It feels like the soul and demonic energy have been assimilated?

If he had truly assimilated with demonic energy, it would be impossible to even cure him, but demonic energy was infiltrating his soul to the extent that one could even think about it.

‘Maybe if it’s a little late.’

At that time, it might really be too late to do anything.

Fortunately, it has been successful now.

I sat down, wiping away the sweat that flowed like a waterfall.

I felt tired because I had used up all my energy in the treatment.

‘Let’s sleep… ‘

It may take some time for the woman to wake up, and there is nothing around her that poses much of a threat. So, there wouldn’t be any problem if I closed my eyes for a while, but I still had concerns about what might happen.

‘It’ll be okay… ‘

It’s a bit dangerous if the woman still has hostility towards me.

Still, considering that he entrusted his life to me, I didn’t think he had to worry about that.

Because the woman in front of me is infinitely close to being good.

I closed my eyes without resisting the rising fatigue.

A hand stroking my head.

I gently opened my eyes to that soft touch.

Then, my field of vision unfolded and there was an unexpected sight.

“… ”

“… ”

The woman who made eye contact with me.

The hostility towards me seemed to have completely disappeared.

Rather, it is the appearance of a woman with an awkward smile and not knowing what to do.

To be honest, I didn’t get used to it.

It’s strange what his current behavior is and why he has changed so much.

‘I think it’s probably because the demon energy was removed.’

Does that change people that much?

The difference between the appearance of the woman earlier and the woman now was so great that it could be said to be the difference between heaven and earth.

I was wondering if I should get out first.

The feeling was so comfortable that I immediately erased that thought from my mind.

Getting stroked on a lap pillow by a jaw-droppingly beautiful woman?

Who would refuse this?

At least it wasn’t me.

However, it is impossible to just make eye contact like this without saying anything.

I asked, feeling drowsy.

“Why do you think it has changed so much?”

The woman laughed at my question.

Rather than not trying to answer, it seemed like he didn’t know how to explain himself.

‘I’ve been like that too.’

It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand because I had experienced quite a few similar situations as the woman.

I asked differently.

“So has the hostility towards me completely disappeared?”

“Disappeared. In the first place, the hostility was more likely to have arisen from fabricated memories. Thanks to you, I realized I was wrong.”

As she said that, the woman smiled.

Although she looked quite pretty, I felt uncomfortable for some reason.

“Hmm… Are you going to keep speaking respectfully?”

“Ah, then… Should I speak informally?”

“I feel more comfortable that way.”

“Then I will do that.”

A sudden feeling of friendliness and comfort comes upon me as soon as I hear the woman speak informally.

For some reason, the discomfort seemed to come from hearing the woman’s respectful treatment.

It was a really strange reason, but now I thought about it.

“Is he really the wizard from the warrior party 500 years ago?”

“Yes.”

“As expected.”

A suspicion I’ve had ever since I fought with the woman.

It was my suspicion that the woman in front of me was the wizard from the first warrior party 500 years ago.

Since I can’t confirm it, I’m putting it off as a question, but hearing it from the person myself gave me confidence.

‘It wasn’t that strong for no reason.’

A warrior party 500 years ago.

Since she must have accumulated numerous achievements, it was clear why she was so strong.

“Then the last thing I want to ask is… Why are you doing this?”

“… Just.”

The woman turned her head as if she would not answer further.

I didn’t ask any more questions as her face seemed to have a lot going on.

I just closed my eyes again and enjoyed the leisurely time in order to spend more time in the present.
