episode_0094

Slurp, slurp!

The sound of eye rolling resonates clearly.

Insect vision, beast vision, monster vision, fish vision.

All my vision was mixed up, distorting the surrounding scenery and disturbing my sense of perspective, but I, who had already gotten used to it, saw all the scenery clearly.

“damn…!”

However, no matter how much I looked, I could not see Pierrot attacking Letel.

An abnormally intense feeling of nervousness and anxiety is swirling around.

How can I save Letel?

Since you don’t know the identity of the enemy in the first place, imaginary summoning is of little use.

[Cries of despair, pain, and grief]? I can attack and remove status ailments, but this is only limited to me. Was that clown abnormal in the first place?

[Mystic Eyes of Condemnation]… I’m watching in real time, but I don’t see anything special not only in her body, but also in her soul and karma.

“how should…!”

[Basaglia’s Holy Grail] and ‘Mirror of Resentment’ were also not enough to overcome this situation.

Different means, different forces are needed.

Is there such a thing?

A means to gain diverse and powerful power right now.

“…!!”

there is.

[Point Shop]

With this, I could get rid of that damn clown.

No, not only that, but the people who sent it and even Pandora of Salvation…!

“..It’s a long road. It’s a rough road!”

“omg!?”

I suddenly came to my senses when a hand strongly shook my shoulder.

“calm down!”

“Re, Retel! Your eyes are bleeding! Get treatment! You need to get treatment quickly!”

“I told you to calm down!”

I made eye contact with her as she held onto my shoulder and shouted.

“…What’s wrong? Letel.”

“That’s what I want to say. I really…”

-Hangil. Are you okay?

I tilted my head when I saw Retel sighing and Rael looking worried.

It’s Retel who was attacked now, so why are you worried about me?

“Hangil. Have you forgotten that I am immortal? A wound like this heals quickly. Look, it has already healed.”

When she sticks out her right eye, she sees a smooth pupil and lens.

Only then does my heart, which was pounding like crazy, calm down a little.

“Ah… That’s good. Still, let’s apply some holy water and drink it. There might be some aftereffects.”

“No, that won’t happen. Now that the clown is gone, there won’t be any more attacks… I’m more worried about you than that.”

“What do you mean? Why me?”

“You may not be aware of it, but it seems like the influence of the skills and the Holy Grail has become quite serious. Your personality and values are changing.”

“……”

This is a fact you already know.

But is it serious enough to make such a fuss?

“Retel. Right now, it’s more urgent to somehow deal with the clown who moved to you.”

“No, it seems to me that you are more in a hurry. Hmm, I wonder if there is a suitable supernatural object. If we ask the headquarters… Ah, but it is not yet part of the Management Bureau. Damn it. Should I force it…?”

I couldn’t understand her serious concerns.

“…!?”

At that time, I saw Pierrot in the corner of my eye again.

It looks clearer than before and is closer.

Wasn’t it transferred to Letel? Or is it possible to move freely?

“This damn guy…!”

Damn it!

As the anger soared again, I gritted my teeth and manifested the [Mystic Eyes of Condemnation].

However, even if you looked at it all at once with various eyes, you could not see its soul or karma.

What on earth is it?

Could it be that it’s not a living thing when it moves like that?

Phew!

“Ugh…!?”

When the guy struck me again with the kitchen knife, I felt intense pain and this time bloody tears flowed from both eyes.

Because the ‘Mirror of Resentment’ reflected the damage, he also shed bloody tears, but he just smiled as if the corners of his mouth were splitting apart without any sign of pain.

“Hangil!?”

-Hangil! Has that clown appeared again!?

“Kwiiik! Kuiik!”

“Why is this guy like this again?”

-Manish! Be quiet! Hangil is in danger right now…huh?

The women who were approaching in surprise turned their heads when ‘Guardian Manish’ stood up and roared cutely.

At that moment, I saw it.

The countless ghosts clinging to the veranda window like barnacles.

The foreign and bizarre gaze pours down like a torrent of rain, hitting my entire body, and my hair turns completely white in an instant.

“Ugh…!?”

“What is that again!? A ghost!? But I can see it too!?”

-It is the attack of Pandora of salvation! Letel! Prepare for battle…!

-Keee!

-Kyahahahahahaha!

-hello? hello? hello? hello?

-I’m so hungry. Can I get some food? Can you just share a drink with me?

-sick! It hurts so much! Someone please call 119! Please save me!

Kwachaaang!

The sound of a window breaking rings loudly in my ears.

As hundreds and thousands of ghosts literally arrive like waves, the surrounding air freezes with a gloomy coldness, and the blood runs cold.

“These!”

-How dare you lowly spirits!

Retel crushed or tore apart the ghosts across space and Rael used his telekinesis to destroy them, but there were too many of them.

Coo! Quaaaang!

Household items raised by the poltergeist phenomenon fly around in a disorderly manner and hit the walls and ceiling.

Sreuk, sreuk!

“Kwiiik! Kuiik!”

One beat late, ‘Undetectable Absolute Restraint Heanna’ and ‘Guardian Manish’ moved.

-Kwaaagh!?

-Let go of this! Let go!

-Keheeek!

The ghosts captured by Heanna are caught in the air and are stranded.

The ghost that was exposed to the roar of ‘Guardian Manish’ and was hit with a headbutt disappeared on the spot without a trace.

“Kkkk!”

I helped them by holding back the pain in my eyes and letting out screams or sprinkling holy water.

“Huh…! What the hell!”

However, even in the meantime, Pierrot’s appearance was clearly visible.

Standing in front of all the ghosts swirling around dizzyingly, he laughs as if the corners of his mouth are about to split.

Even with bloody tears streaming down his face, he doesn’t show any pain, rattles the bells on his hat, waves his kitchen knife as if threatening, and shakes his shoulders like he’s dancing.

Sigh! Phew!

“Kaaah!?”

A sharp pain surged in my eyes again.

“Hangil!?”

-Hangil! damn! Everyone die! Die quickly!

“I-I’m fine! So stay calm and fight…Ugh!”

My body automatically curls up from the continuous pain.

“…damn.”

When the pain subsided a little, half of my vision was already dark.

Is the right side blind?

-Are we there yet? Is it yet? Is it yet?

-Kyahahahahaha!

-Lend me a leg! I can’t walk! Give me your leg!

-Khahahahahahaha!

“These…!”

Even in the midst of hectic times, ghosts come flooding in.

As they disappear one by one under the attacks of Retel, Rael, Heanna, and Manish, they come in endless numbers, breaking furniture, swinging their fingernails and molars, laughing, talking, and trying to enter the body.

It’s so crazy and noisy that I can’t stand it.

Even more so because Pierrot, who was moving humorously in front of me, was stabbing me with a kitchen knife.

Phew!

Pain again.

“…Pud!”

Finally, I felt the strings of reason completely fly away.

“Everything, go away!!”

Damn it! Damn it!

His entire body was covered with [Mystic Eyes of Condemnation] and he watched numerous ghosts at the same time.

“Kkkk!”

“Kiyaaa!”

“Kwaaa!!”

“Aaaah!”

A terrible scream instantly sweeps away the noise of the ghosts and creates concentric shock waves that continuously sweep through the house.

Ghosts that overlap and cannot be recognized, ghosts that scream, ghosts that throw and destroy furniture, ghosts that try to possess people with malicious intent, ghosts that pour in from outside the house, all of them.

As soon as the scream touched him, his soul and karma were shattered and crushed and disappeared without a trace.

“Wow…that’s huge.”

-As expected, this is Hangil. More than that, what happened to Pierrot? Can you still see it?

“Whoa, whoa…! I can see it. Still…!”

Even though he had eliminated thousands of ghosts, Pierrot swung his knife from side to side in a humorous gesture.

Sigh! Phew!

“Keuuu!!…

I really don’t understand.

What on earth is this damn Pierrot?

How on earth can this mess not affect me in any way? How can they move and attack at will like that and still not be able to find any traces?

Jing! Jing!

I can even hear sounds now.

Every time Pierrot playfully shakes his hat with bells, an unpleasant sound echoes from inside his head, causing a strong headache.

I gritted my teeth because it felt like a signal and a warning that the damn Pierrot’s attacks would become more severe.

“…uh?”

From inside the head?

At that moment, a realization passes by.

-Hangil! Come on and drink holy water!

“This won’t work. I guess I’ll have to go to the management office and get a detailed examination.”

I slapped away Letel’s hand that was trying to touch my shoulder.

“Hangil?”

“Wait. Now I know. The location of this clown…!”

“what?”

Kuuk!

As I clutch my left eyelid, which is still intact, a dull pain rushes through my brain.

“There was a reason why it passed through the Holy Grail’s barrier and the power of ‘Guardian Manish’ without any problems and was not visible even with the [Mystic Eyes of Condemnation]. Yes, that makes sense. From the beginning…!”

Crackling, crackling!

“Hangil!? What are you doing now!?”

-Hangil!?

“Keuuu…!”

sick.

Instinctively, my strength drains away.

However, if you leave this supernatural entity alone, people nearby may get hurt.

“Nod…!”

When I thought of that, my teeth gritted and my grip tightened.

Pujajajajag!

The blood vessels and nerves of the eyeball, which were pulled out more easily than expected, stretched out and shook.

“Ugh…! Retel! Isolate these eyes! Don’t let anyone see them!”

“What!? Ah, yes! I understand!”

The pain of having my eyeballs pulled out raw was excruciating.

Wow!!

In a field filled with darkness, the sound of Retel using his abilities can be heard.

“Whoa, whoa…! La, Rael. The Holy Grail.”

-Ah yes! Immediately!

I put my trembling hand forward and soon the Holy Grail was in my hand.

“Ugh…!”

I drank the holy water created by consuming my physical and mental power several times and then sprinkled it generously on both eyes.

“Fuuu…!”

The pain subsided instantly.

The pulled out eye and the blinded eye also seem to have regenerated quickly, and the person slowly begins to see.

“…Retel.”

“Yes?”

She turned around at my call and saw a black sphere floating above her hand.

“Are my eyes there?”

“Yes. That’s right. I told them not to let anyone see, so I blocked out the light for now.”

“Whew, okay. Good job. You can’t miss that. There’s a clown in it.”

“There’s a clown in your eyeball?”

“Okay. I’m just asking just in case. Can’t you see Pierrot right now?”

“Yeah. I can’t see it. But I guess it’s an eyeball…”

She looks at the black sphere with a serious expression.

“Indeed, it was the most difficult, non-substantial supernatural entity among paranormal phenomenon entities.”

“Do you know anything?”

“Of course. You know this, right? The ‘non-existent danger’ that is eroding Saeroni is also a non-entity.”

“ah…”

“But I managed to figure it out. I don’t know what kind of mechanism this supernatural entity has, but non-entity supernatural entities are very difficult to recognize and isolate.”

“It was a complete coincidence. Phew…”

If I hadn’t heard the sound of its bell, I still wouldn’t have known.

“Retel. I want to give those Pandora of salvation a beating, but is there any way? I’m so angry that I’m being treated like this.”

“Hmm… To be honest, it’s going to be hard. They’re like cockroaches, so it’s not easy for even me to find them. When I meet them, most of them are less than a handful.”

“…okay?”

I sighed and lay down on the spot.

Pieces of something broken and shattered dug into my back, but now that I was relaxed, I didn’t even have the strength to turn over.

“But Han-gil. It looks like it’s hard to stay here. Would you rather come to my house?”

“Huh? Your house?”

When I raised my head and looked up, Letel was grinning.

“Yes. If it were our house, it would be difficult for even the Pando of Salvation to attack. What do you think?”

“…It doesn’t look bad.”

As I glanced sideways at the house that had become a mess, I sighed without realizing it.

***

“No…you said it was your house?”

When I looked at him with a puzzled expression, Retel playfully stuck out his tongue.

“It’s my house, right?”

The place she was brought to, claiming it was her home, was none other than a dormitory exclusively for employees of the Management Bureau.

That’s where I stayed in the previous episode.

To be exact, it’s next door, but whatever.

“Wasn’t this a place you were assigned to escort easily? But how…”

“Ah, this is easy for my Jjambap. Even after all this, I have a pretty high status in the management bureau, right? Besides, I’m not restricted by space, so I can live freely wherever I want.”

“…Can I stay here?”

“It’s okay. They’ll be joining the management office soon anyway. And you don’t have to worry about the situation of salvation. This building is an ordinary building, but they’ve set an example a few times in the past, so you won’t even think about touching this place.”

“Uhm…”

After thinking for a moment, I couldn’t help but nod.
