    Episode 75 – The Magic Scene of Wood 2 –

    The Sword Demon, the source of the neck’s demonic spirit, was defeated by the Sword Saint in the past.

    It was called Daecheonsal, but somehow it survived and settled here even after its death.

    He is a being born with the element of killing-madness.

    That is why he, who was called Daechonsal, ended up killing even members of the imperial family who should not have been killed.

    He was defeated after a decisive battle with the Sword Saint.

    But in the end, he possessed great power, and that power turned this place into a demonic realm.

    And the environment transformed by the demonic scriptures allowed him to function normally even when he lost his physical body.

    The result is the magic of the neck.

    ‘How strong was he to be able to create a demonic spirit? And how strong is the swordsman who defeated it?’

    Of course, if I am to fight against the incarnation of sin, it is a level I must reach someday.

    Because we desperately need their help to defeat the final boss of this game, Avatar, with minimal damage.

    Of course, it would be best if I could catch it on my own.

    Even in WFS, there were some crazy guys who beat up bosses solo.

    The earth with its huge mouth open.

    The sinkhole that was forced open was consistent with what I had seen.

    If you enter here, you will encounter it.

    It’s been a long time since I went bungee jumping without a rope.

    As I entered, the earth closed its mouth once again.

    As if nothing had happened.

    Free fall for quite some time.

    I don’t know how much it fell.

    I just let time pass by.

    This land is a demonic land, a land transformed by powerful power.

    Something could happen and I could too.

    The most important thing is to remember to remain calm.

    The source of this evil spirit will look down on me the moment I lose my composure.

    At some point, the speed starts to slow down.

    I knew it instinctively.

    This is getting to the source.

    Since I didn’t respond for a while, it was probably boring so he allowed access.

    After such a short wait, we reached the bottom.

    Of course, there were no safety devices.

    Immediately after scattering aura in the air to slow down my speed.

    It slowly came down to the floor.

    “Giggle. what? You were able to use air support as well? Can I use aura enhancement?”

    “What. That’s the way it is.”

    A huge space so far away.

    A man slowly walked out of it.

    On the outside, he didn’t look that old.

    Even when hit well, he looks like a young boy.

    Height less than 170cm.

    Dwarf physique.

    Strange clothes that modern fashion sense cannot understand.

    Since it is not threatening on the outside, it makes one wonder why it is given the nickname Daecheonsal.

    Of course, that’s only appearances.

    Since he was a person from hundreds of years ago, he would have been of average height and average physique by the standards of the time.

    Until Napoleon was alive, 165 was the average height for men.

    This also applies to Westerners who are relatively taller than Asians.

    “So what brought you here? Giggling. If it’s not fun, I’ll kill you.”

    “Because I brought enough interesting things. Don’t worry.”

    I don’t know, but it would be fun enough for him.

    Because he is that kind of person.

    “Your skill, Ghost Sword Technique. I came here to learn that.”

    Kang ㅡ

    As soon as the sound that came out of my mouth reached his ears.

    My ears detected a harsh sound.

    At some point, two swords came out from his body and crossed my neck.

    I was in a situation where a sword was thrust at both my throats.

    He continued.

    “You… Interesting… ? huh? Where did you know that? how did you know? Who said it? What guy said that? huh? Sword Saint That bastard sent you, right?

    yes? Is that right? huh? Why don’t you say it quickly? You know I have a dirty personality, right? I can kill you in one hit. It won’t work. I have to kill him.”

    He is not the type of person to say two things.

    I said it right away before I really started searching.

    “Don’t you want to go out?”

    He pauses.

    “You probably know that this place is named ‘Magyeong’ from the outside. And since Magyeong existed in your generation, you know very well how it is treated.”

    Suddenly

    He seemed to have no patience and quickly cut my throat shallowly.

    The blood flowing out follows his dagger and wets his hand.

    An imminent situation.

    He was naturally impatient and treated me extremely harshly.

    “Just tell the main point.”

    “Yes. Let me get to the point. I will bring you a body into which your soul can enter. So, please teach me the ghost sword technique.”

    The body is no longer there.

    But I know.

    People who can create a body.

    That dwarf from 1500.

    Alchemist of the Feyre Kingdom, Changje.

    The fruit of the tree that gives birth to life, the fruit of the world tree.

    If you unite those three beings, you will get results.

    ‘There’s sure to be a huge uproar by now because a branch of the Living World Tree has been leaked.

    And that branch… If the conditions are met, the fruit contained within will bear fruit. If you combine Yeon-guk’s invention and Reverse Unicorn’s technology… ‘You can make it.’

    This is creating a new body.

    Therefore, in theory, any soul can be possessed.

    And it is his only chance to escape this land.

    “You lost your body after being defeated by the Sword Saint. I don’t know if it’s because of the celestial nature or because your power is so vast. You eventually succeeded in turning this land into a demon world.”

    Of course, the reason it is called the devil is because it is harmful to humans.

    The Silver Branch Forest of Seonghwangcheong is also an example of the environment being altered by a powerful force like the Demonic Sutra.

    Since it’s not harmful, I just keep getting closer to it.

    “Demon Sutra is something that changes the environment with powerful force. So you were able to stay on this earth, ignoring the main premise that a soul that loses its body goes to the underworld.

    But at the price, I can’t escape from here. Because that law exists only within this demonic sutra.”

    So he is very dissatisfied.

    According to his disposition, this land became a land overflowing with blood and flesh.

    So it was classified as a demonic sutra. Because people stopped coming.

    However, it cannot be changed again.

    What he wants is blood and slaughter.

    Because what he pursues will ultimately be classified as demonic.

    “So this is a deal. Instead of letting you get out, you can teach me a skill.”

    A seemingly no-lose proposition.

    But he is not an idiot.

    He’s just a madman who has a hard time holding back his life.

    “Hmm~ Why me? Giggling. There’s no guarantee you’ll get it?”

    “That’s right. Finding a new body is close to impossible. The stronger the ego, like yours, the more it rebels against the flesh.”

    If the transfer of the soul had been easy, people would not have thought of homunculi as the ultimate in alchemy for no reason.

    Although it was easy to recreate the human body, it was difficult to touch the soul.

    The reason why black magic was avoided is also similar.

    This is because it was combined with necromancy to mean that since it is difficult to control the soul, you can force it to move.

    ‘But it’s not impossible.’

    Inductive reasoning negates the assumption with just one counterexample.

    Since all humans are dead, the conclusion was drawn that all humans die.

    Are there people who never die?

    Then the proposition is wrong.

    That’s why there is a counterexample in my country. It is possible to move him.

    ‘It’s full of questions.’

    How could I, who grew up the way I wanted, come into the body I have now?

    Considering that their faces look the same as when they were in Korea, there is room to believe that their bodies are the same.

    It is not a matter that ends with the soul and body being aligned.

    Because my soul and body can’t be the same when I was 1 year old and when I was 27 years old.

    I can only guess that God did it through some means.

    ‘And on the other hand, you can move that guy’s body.’

    If it’s not impossible, it’s possible.

    It’s very simple logic.

    So let’s shoot him with confident eyes.

    He sneered with a laughable expression.

    “Okay… Even if you can get it, there is always something… if. If you can’t get it… What are you going to do? huh? Shouldn’t there be something called collateral!? Giggling!

    huh? Even with contract magic, if you can’t do it, nothing else will! Hahaha!”

    guarantee.

    That is correct.

    Because this world doesn’t always go the way you want.

    But that’s why it’s possible to say something that goes beyond his answer.

    “Collateral? Yes.”

    “Really? What? Please don’t say that they are ordinary people who can be killedㅡ”

    When he saw what I was pointing at, his eyes fluttered shut.

    It had to be that way.

    The object I pointed to was…

    Because it was me.

    “Collateral is ‘me’. If I learn your skills, I will become a soul most like you out of all the people left on this earth. So you get to make it yourself. The body you will occupy.”

    You create the body you will occupy yourself.

    He makes what he has to do for himself, not for me.

    This is the best way to deal with beings who do not understand common sense.

    If I save his body, of course he can go out.

    Even if you can’t save me, you will be able to escape if you take possession of me.

    He makes an offer that doesn’t hurt him.

    On the surface.

    “Like you said, I can’t get it. But then doesn’t that mean you can take over my body? Aren’t you afraid that your body will be taken away by a child who hasn’t even lived for half a century?”

    “You… Isn’t the grasshopper pretty? Are you here to die? Giggling!”

    “If you didn’t have confidence, would you really have entered the magic world by yourself?”

    “Okay… I underestimated you so much. I thought it was a gisaeng orabin just by looking at what it looked like… okay! I’ll teach you later. Giggling.”

    As soon as his permission is given, this land begins to change once again.

    In reality, nothing is guaranteed.

    But he let me, just with my guts.

    It seems like he wanted to go outside that much.

    “So how did you learn this skill? Did you receive instruction from a teacher on an ordinary basis?”

    First of all, you need to know what you need to know.

    If the origin of the technology exists, the origin can be cited later when Geomseong asks about it.

    It’s going to be a teacher-student relationship, so it’s not like I can’t ask anything.

    Ygrasil heard my question and widened his eyes.

    “Normal? Do you think that’s how I learned this skill?”

    “Yes.”

    “If it looked like that, there’s nothing to say. Giggling. Actually, it’s not something you can think of based on your common sense.”

    I wasn’t interested.

    At school, we learn how great a science or wonderful Baekje gilt-bronze incense burner is.

    I don’t know how difficult the process was to unearth this.

    I didn’t want to hear that, but he got upset surprisingly easily, so I just listened quietly.

    “My teacher was an idiot. They kidnapped 100 children to raise them to be the best assassin or swordsman.

    Then kill each other. Then, I made them fight until only one person remained, and then raised the remaining one.”

    It’s boring.

    You must feel terrible for actually doing that.

    I was exposed to all sorts of things through too many media.

    Of course, killing 1,000 people in the media feels different from killing 1,000 people in reality.

    I live in a world where media has become reality.

    Either way, Ygrasil continued speaking.

    “When 100 people gathered like that, we would repeat that over and over again. And do you know what it says? He said that if he was the last one left, he would find his parents. Giggling. Looking back now, it was nonsense.”

    Orphans have fundamental questions.

    Curious about one’s parents.

    In media, the relationship between parents and children is usually portrayed as strong.

    Orphans sometimes make assumptions about what their parents may have been up to.

    This is because the fragile spirit of a child will collapse as soon as he learns that his parents, who brought him into this world, did not even want him.

    I know that I will never be able to find it if I look at it from an adult’s perspective.

    However, there are many things that young children do not know, and they often believe that adults older than them say that something is possible.

    It’s just an ordinary tragedy.

    “After so many years, I am left. It was the most outstanding. Giggling. It was incredibly easy thanks to Cheonsalseong.

    My teacher must have thought that he had finally found the tree, so he said he would find my parents. So I… I was raised.”

    In some ways, the reason he became an orphan is simple.

    There is no way that an ordinary family could handle the fate of a thousand people.

    So the family probably abandoned him as soon as they found out that he was Cheonsa-seong.

    However, just because he is a genius does not mean he is a madman like that guy.

    It’s just that when murderous intent boils over, people often commit it immediately.

    It is a form close to anger control disorder in which control failure is possible.

    Even in front of a strong guy, he just hits me.

    If you’re at the level of Ygrasil, you might be able to endure it.

    “So many years have passed. But… Did you gradually become strange as you grew up? Why won’t the teacher find his parents? Why was there no news about this even though they said they had the means to find their parents?

    So I asked someone else. Is there a way to find the parents of orphans? But what did you say?”

    “I would have said no. Unless even a saint comes along.”

    “Yes! Giggling. That day I killed my teacher. He was a sick person. To think that I wouldn’t find out until the end…

    If he had maintained his superiority in skill, he thought I could perfect his vision skills and taught them all to me!”

    Unable to trust anyone, he eventually took the path of survival.

    Igrasil, known as the Great Heavenly Killer in life and the Sword Demon in death, was born.

    What his teacher taught him was the unfinished ghost sword technique.

    But after hearing that, I had one question.

    I told him that as is.

    “That’s really stupid.”

    “What?”

    He asked me if I had any doubts.

    Before that, I felt a cold sensation at the end of my neck, so I looked down and before I knew it, the tip of the knife was touching my neck.

    However, if I stabbed him here, there was a chance he would get excited and stab me.

    That’s why I continued speaking calmly.

    “Children don’t remember their parents’ faces anyway, right? Do your childhood memories disappear? So, all you had to do was bring a prostitute, call her your mother, and threaten her with that.

    Then you would have listened to me on your own, so why did you say something like that?”

    If you pay a prostitute, you can make her act like she has maternal love.

    Naturally, the child will think that person is his or her biological parent.

    And if you threaten and threaten, the child will listen well.

    You wouldn’t think that a parent who shows maternal love towards a child is lying.

    However, upon hearing this, Igrasil must have been hit on the head by something.

    He was looking at me with a mesmerized expression.

    What why what?

    You can think like this, right?

    He withdrew his sword without any hesitation.

    Then I cheered with great joy.

    “You… Among the ones I’ve seen… The best… Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick!!!!!!!”

    Why are you like that?

    With a normal perspective, it was difficult to understand someone who had such severe emotional ups and downs.

    If you go a little further, you will incur Ygrasil’s wrath by asking the prostitute to act like people like you should disappear.

    There is also a way to gain Igrasil’s trust by killing that prostitute yourself and telling him not to disgrace my disciple.

    Anyway, I seemed to like Igrasil.

    That’s how I was able to learn the ghost sword technique.
