Startle.

I had to doubt my eyes, or even my sixth sense, as the magic started so casually.

In the past, even when magic was cast, people just thought that magic was moving.

Maybe it’s because his sixth sense has been strengthened while using demon energy, but now he seems to be able to see the movements in more detail.

The magical power that escapes from Nameless’s body stains the ground.

At first glance, there is no rule or order, just magical power that naturally seeps downward like rainwater falling on the ground.

However, the moment Mi-jeong’s feet entered the range, the magic power began to move in unison and form an artificial form.

Magical power that soars and spreads out of the ground like a sprout.

What that magical power creates is a huge structure.

It seems to resemble a clockwork machine.

It seems to resemble a magic machine.

‘no. ‘Is the essence all the same?’

If you think about it, it was natural that they were similar.

Whether you activate it with a magic circle or a machine, it’s all the same root in the end.

But what is appearing before my eyes right now is not magic that can be realized through wind-up or machinery.

The height of the magic power that has suddenly risen is higher and wider than most buildings.

To create something like this with a machine…?

Just to activate the magic, you have to build a building.

‘It’s amazing.’

The first thing I felt upon encountering this kind of magic was not fear, but awe.

It had already gone far beyond the level of magic I could use, so it was beyond a scary level.

Is that level 8?

no. In terms of status…is it 9th rank?

It is a state called great magic.

If you just twist your magical power in a complicated way and increase your status, is it all great magic?

That’s not the case.

Only when it has academic and practical value can it be recognized as a magic trick and registered with the Magic Society.

And now the magic is unfolding before my eyes.

They are achieving achievements that I have never heard of before.

‘You created the soul…?’

It wasn’t a mistake.

I can say this with certainty because my eyes to see the soul have been opened to some extent.

The magical power emanating from the Great Magic scans Mijeong’s body and regenerates her soul based on this.

The soul of someone who has already died.

At the end of the life, the lost soul is reassembled.

Although it was only for a moment, Mijeong’s face seemed to glow with blood and she looked like a living child.

You can’t miss this timing.

I immediately stood up and gathered sword energy in my hands.

Now, I have become quite adept at handling the sword in my hand even without its shape.

Of course, it is not yet as strong and sharp as a real sword.

It doesn’t matter because I don’t have any specific purpose for cutting anything right now.

He swung the transparent sword, which shimmered like a haze, and fired the sword energy straight at Mijeong.

That moment.

Although only briefly.

I was able to get a glimpse inside a soul cultivated by magic.

Scenes pass by quickly and smoothly, as if flipping through a paper note.

It is a burning town.

A hell where people are turning into blood demons and paladins come in and kill and burn everyone.

There is a girl standing in the middle of it.

Be still, bewildered.

It’s the same scene I saw before in the basement of the White Magic Tower.

There was one thing, something else.

The girl was no longer crying.

Instead, she made eye contact with the man kneeling in front of her.

All I can do is just stare.

The man even wiped away the remaining tears that had dried on my cheeks with his hand.

The man stands up and walks hand in hand with the girl.

Leave the hellish road and move into bright light.

Meanwhile, the girl’s back is gradually growing.

After growing to a height of about a head shorter than the man, he walked with him and disappeared into the light.

“Heo-eok…”

“······Aaaa!”

When I came to my senses, I realized that the magic had ended.

Mijeong, who had been running towards him with a frown on her face, sits down on the ground and cries.

‘this. ‘It’s an object.’

I expected that the nameless person would be a clue.

I had no idea it would be this bad.

This is an area that goes beyond the level of ability to manipulate souls and creates souls entirely.

Of course, there are definitely some shortcomings in calling it ‘creation’.

Looking at the magic casting process, it is not like creating a soul from nothing.

This was because the old form of the soul was inferred and recreated based on the body structure and the memories left in the brain.

This means that the more severe the damage to the body, the more incomplete the reproduction of the soul becomes.

However, this does not mean that the created soul is fake.

At the moment when Oh-ui and Oh-ui, will and will collided, what I glimpsed inside Mi-jeong’s soul was clearly the world inside Mi-jeong.

In other words, the unknown has the ability to recreate the destroyed world within.

It was not a clue to restoring my existence, but the key itself.

Of course, there are still many loopholes.

We need to compensate for the fact that once the magic is cast, it disappears.

Another problem is that the created world has a lower status than the original.

That’s why I couldn’t enter Mijeong’s inner world and had to watch each scene one by one as if turning the page.

Just as a three-dimensional object cannot fit into two dimensions.

Because I was of a different status, I could not set foot inside that world.

However, it seems like this can be resolved somehow.

The solution is to ‘forcibly increase the phase.’

Since it was possible to expand the world inside at will, there is no way such a thing would be impossible.

The problem is that if it is a large-scale construction project that increases the status, sophisticated tools will be needed…

Spear of Longinus?

Tools that just aimlessly drill into space can’t do anything.

Magic sword?

It’s quite sharp, but it only cuts through space.

It cannot reach deep places.

However, with this sword technique created by gathering my ‘will’, I have a feeling that it will be possible.

Both its strength and sharpness are trash, inferior to that of cheap swords on the market.

This sword, made purely of my will, will be able to penetrate into the world within.

‘The problem is that it is still an unfinished product.’

However, that is still theoretical.

The story of when this sword was completed.

It collided with the Merida-style Oui created by Rex and absorbed some of its structure, becoming stronger, but this was not enough.

At the very least, you will need to strengthen the Merida-style Five Swords you absorbed, and fuse another Five Swords with them.

Even the Dacia and Merida classes had a hard time obtaining Oui.

Even those two were sword techniques I had already learned the basics of, so I absorbed them quickly. For other sword techniques, I would have had to train from the basics for decades.

Among the swordsmanship I have already learned the basics of, is there anything I can learn the five principles of?

‘ah. Frost kind.’

It was only then that I remembered it.

Frost kind.

If you were Yerina, would you have created a frost-like Oui by now?

If it has already been created, you can just absorb it as is.

If not, all you need to do is encourage awakening.

In any case, the mere fact that the path has begun to appear is a tremendous achievement.

“Okay! How do you feel? Did you even notice what I just did? Hehehehehe! Well, even the archmages who were in charge of judging for the first time reacted indifferently, asking what kind of magic this was! But ordinary people can see this-”

“There’s no way you wouldn’t recognize it. Aren’t you approaching the forbidden realm, a state infinitely closer to soul creation? It’s an upgrade to the terms of the contract. After everything is over, I’ll grant you a wish, so think about it.”

“Yes, four…?”

I held his hand in gratitude.

In the past and now, we only receive help from unknown people.

If it weren’t for this guy, I would have lived a life forgotten by everyone until I became a crooked old man with no clue.

“Heh, heh heh! Well, I guess I’m a bit amazing, right? Heh, heh… I guess you have better eyesight than you look, huh? Heh heh…”

Nameless couldn’t hold back the laughter that was coming out and his face was blushing.

This guy…

How painful was the praise?

Although a lot has changed, there are definitely some parts that are no different from before.

“······Aang.”

“Ugh!!!”

At that time, Mi-jeong suddenly rushed at me and bit my hand.

Why is he like this all of a sudden?

.

.

.

Crumbling.

Lightning strikes from the dark clouds and an eerie sound rings out.

In the midst of a gloomy sky that looked like it was going to rain at any moment, an old carriage stopped.

Hundreds of troops stood in front of it and greeted it as if they had been waiting.

In front of them, the Frost Lord solemnly stepped forward.

Soon the carriage door squeaks open.

As the light shone from inside the dark carriage, all the troops knelt down, and the Frost Lord also bowed slightly and showed respect.

“The entire escort force is having a hard time because of one piece of trash.”

“Don’t say things like that, Governor.”

“I’m the governor. I’m not shameless enough to be treated like a governor after a long time ago when I outrageously left the throne.”

What walked out from inside was a woman wearing thick clothes that completely concealed her entire body and head.

Through the cloth covering the head, slightly tanned fox ears are visible.

Former Governor, Gwiho.

Every time she exhaled, it seemed as if unrefined magical energy was flowing out.

At this, Yerina became a little nervous and bowed her head even more.

“It’s shameful to make you move. We’re in a position to ask you to-”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. Aren’t we in a position to give and receive help from each other? Who would ask for a favor… In fact, if they did, it would be like asking me to take revenge on them.”

“······.”

There was anticipation in Guiho’s voice.

It seems like there are also some feelings of anger and regret.

All of the guards were tense and holding their breath just because of the magical energy she was spreading out of control.

“Did you say that the enemy tore through space and ran away? In that case, leave it to me. Chasing the traces of subtle demonic energy is my specialty. I am the disciple who protected me without caring about what happened to me. I will never forgive anyone who dares to touch my disciple. can not do it······!”

Drumming.

Guiho gritted his teeth furiously and pushed back the cloth covering his face.

What was then revealed was a scar long enough to cross the eye.

It was an ugly, burnt face.

“Use me as your weapon, Frost Lord! I will forgive you for all your rudeness!”

“······.”

Even though she was hurt and sick, the anger emanating from her far exceeded that of her youth.

Because I have felt so much pain.

And I knew because I had lost so much.

The pain and fear I feel now cannot be compared to anything I have felt in my entire life.
