Chapter 413
425. Red-dark wish 1
{Last time it was in a dream}
Dip Dive Dive.
A woman wearing a mask in the shape of a beast approached Kang Seung-hyeon, stepping on a puddle of blood.
Sehmet, the goddess of blood and slaughter.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you in real life. I am Healer Kang Seung-hyun.”
As I always say, there is no way for a divine being to descend directly to the ground unless there is an exception like Simua Rize.
In other words, the woman in front of me is not the main body, but a simple double body.
In terms of Ijia, it’s like Freesia 103.
Whoops.
[I feel awe.]
But even if it’s an alter ego, a god is a god.
Every time Sehmet approached, the sensation of crushing the air with devastating force spread.
‘It’s incomparable to Seymua Rize.’
If you were an ordinary person, you would have no choice but to be polite to the god in front of you, whether you kneel or bow your head right away.
[The ‘sense of awe’ disappears due to the effect of the sense of loss.]
However, Kang Seung-hyun lightly swallowed Sehmet’s [sense of awe] and faced her directly.
{You have obtained a unique power.}
“It must be a special power.”
{I thought it had a similar meaning.}
Sehmet approached Kang Seung-hyun in front of him and smiled lightly with his arms crossed and opened his mouth.
{You said you came because you wanted to ask me
something, right ?}
In fact, there are a lot of things I want to ask Sehmet about.
-How far do the divine beings of Azul Continent know about the manager?
-What is the identity of the forgotten god?
– Your specific relationship with it.
-The reason why your follower can use the authority by paying the price of blood.
-The identity of the black beast clinging to Kim Ho-jung.
-Why did you ask for a private tour in the first place?
Furthermore, the reason why divine beings hate the black beast.
‘But if you choose the most important question from there…’
Although he brought plenty of offerings to pass on in exchange for the deal, the information Kang Seung-hyun is asking for is top-secret.
‘As expected, this must be number one.’
If so, it is correct to ask the question assuming that you can only hear one answer.
Kang Seung-hyun, who organized his thoughts, opened his mouth.
“What kind of power did Shin Yoo-jun get in ‘there’?”
{…}
Hearing Seunghyun Kang’s question, Sehmet smiled unexpectedly.
“If the offerings we prepared in return are not enough, we will bring more.”
{Of course, I thought it was a question about a colleague who became a ‘bowl’.}
“….”
Kang Seung-hyun didn’t respond at all.
Because dealing with a divine being requires that you pay attention to every trivial action, and that wasn’t the answer you wanted.
{Of course, I know that you have little affection for others. I don’t know if it’s a matter of innate nature or a matter of the environment in which I grew up, or if both are intertwined.}
“If you have any questions, I will answer them. You will have to pay for that.”
Instead, Kang Seung-Hyun made a counter-deal.
If humans have to pay a price to obtain something from a divine being, then it is right that a divine being should also pay a price when obtaining something from a human being.
{I’d appreciate it if you told me.}
But Sehmet shook his head and refused.
{It’s not information you want to hear until you pay for it.}
“Sorry. I was thinking of selling it for a high price.”
Seunghyun Kang grumbled lightly.
As a goddess of blood and slaughter, she doesn’t seem to be interested in private stories that don’t seem to have anything to do with it.
‘Than… Didn’t I just say it was a bowl?’
Normally, a bowl means a tool to contain something, but here, of course, it refers to Kim Ho-jung with the ‘black beast’ attached to it.
‘As expected, that guy seems to know something.’
Even before confirming that Kim Ho-jung and the Black Beast were separate personalities, there was one thing that bothered me.
First of all, there is no magical energy on Earth, so even if dimension movers return to Korea, it will be difficult for them to open the status window or use skills.
However, Kim Ho-jung’s black beast ability is not a skill, but a kind of characteristic constitution.
‘In other words, it’s an ability that activates when you die regardless of magic… If you die on Earth, it seems like you’ll become a black beast and run rampant.’
Kim Ho-jeong in the state of the black beast is a monster that can wipe out at least one church without using skills.
There is no way to stop such a bastard from rampaging on Earth.
‘I didn’t even think about it, so I kept my mouth shut.’
If this fact is known, Kim Ho-jeong will probably give up going back to Earth.
He wants to go to Korea more than anyone else, but he can’t be bold enough to go to Earth even after hearing such words.
‘If you tell me in advance, I will cry every day. Just thinking about it breaks my heart.’
So, I was thinking of giving it as a surprise party after arriving on Earth, but this time I found out that Kim Ho-jung and the black beast are separate personalities.
‘Well, if it’s a separate personality, it might be possible to collect it separately, but for now, figuring out Shin Yu-jun’s purpose is the priority.’
In order to do that, you need to find out what power he got.
{First of all, it is impossible to answer your question. Do you know the cause?}
“I heard from Mr. Alec. There is a keyword restriction.”
{Why did you come to me anyway?}
“Because I thought I could tell you around the keyword restrictions.”
The last time she met Sehmet in a dream, she explained that she was indebted to Alec.
-{Thank you for saving him.}
-Mr. Alec is neither a believer nor an ardent fanatic, so what is the reason for favoritism?
-{They don’t serve me, but they splatter blood everywhere they go} -{
Isn’t it a pity to lose such a talented person?}
-{And I owe him something.}
-Debt?
If you think about it carefully, that part is information that you don’t need to tell.
If you want to answer Kang Seung-hyun’s question, just answer that Alec is a competent person.
“At that time, I thought the fact that you insisted on owing money to Alec was a sign that I should find out about it.”
{Really?}
“There’s no way I wouldn’t visit you after hearing that.”
In fact, after Sehmet left those words.
-{$!%##% %#[email protected]}
After spitting out a sentence that was subject to keyword restrictions, it disappeared.
At that time, Kang Seung-hyun thought it was nothing to do with him, so he was just erasing it from his mind, but now that he thinks about it, he was just telling it openly.
“I happened to hear the truth from Mr. Alec.”
{Whoop whoop Hahaha! That’s the answer. It took some time, but it’s worth the wait.}
Sehmet smiled happily and gestured lightly.
{Give me the answer. Do you have the gift I gave you? It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one.}
“If it’s a gift…”
Kang Seung-hyun took out a dark red crystal from his inventory.
“This one?”
[Sehmet’s red-dark wish]
[Is there anything you wish for?]
[Every time you offer blood, it gives you a happy illusion.]
This jewel was obtained after saving Alec, who shows what he wants to see as an illusion when it is stained with blood. is a relic of
{As expected, blood was only fed once.}
“There was nothing to use.”
{Ordinary people are addicted to happy fantasies, and even after sucking all the blood from their bodies, they die because they can’t come to their senses
}
{Do you think you are a normal human being?}
“I live the world by my standards.”
It wasn’t that he had a strong mentality, but that he was Kang Seung-hyun, who had no conscience and thought that others had a softer heart than he did.
{Well, put that story aside. We were talking about ways to circumvent keywords.}
“Can I use that to circumvent keyword restrictions?”
Sehmet’s direct explanation of Shin Yu-jun’s actions in the temple is subject to keyword restrictions.
However, just as Kang Seung-hyun can inform his colleagues about manager information, Shin Yu-jun himself can ignore keyword restrictions and speak.
{There’s nothing wrong with hearing it directly from the person concerned.}
“So you’re saying go and ask Shin Yoo-jun?”
Kang Seung-hyun contemplated whether to blow up the Sehmet Church and put the blame on an unknown terrorist group.
{Strictly speaking, the power of this jewel is to reconstruct the subject’s memories to create illusions.}
“….”
{It is also possible to create illusions that reconstruct painful or sad memories. Happy fantasies are effective for sucking blood, so I just fixed them.}
“According to what you said, it would be possible to just reconstruct ordinary memories.”
{That’s right.}
In other words, Sehmet explained that he would use the ‘dark red wish’ to show what Shin Yu-jun had done that day as a fantasy.
{If you are now, you will know what the tailor took.}
“Then, shall we draw Shin Yu-jun’s blood?”
{I got that guy’s blood from the ruins that day. I had to shed blood when entering the interior.}
“The identity of the ruins was a blood donation house.”
Took. Took.
Jureuk.
Dark red liquid flowed down the side of Sehmet and began to form a magic circle in a circle on the floor.
It seems to be the blood of Shin Yoo-jun, whom he said he had collected.
{Of course, there won’t be any memories after that in this blood, but I just need to be able to read the memories of that moment anyway.}
“That’s a bit unfortunate.”
It was about two years ago when Alec Ma Cheol-hyeon discovered the ruins, so it seems that no information on ‘delphinidin elixir’ can be obtained.
{Don’t tell me in advance. I’m not saying it myself, but it’s true that I’m touching keywords anyway, so I’ll be penalized.}
“Am I?”
{I.}
“Then it doesn’t matter.”
{It’ll be hard to help you guys for a while, since you’ll have to be asleep.}
“Then it matters.”
{But I’ll tell you everything I can say until I fall asleep. Something about your colleague who became a vessel or his identity.}
Dig!
Saying this, Sehmet broke the ‘dark red wish’ with one hand.
Then, he scattered the broken jewel fragments over the magic circle drawn with Shin Yu-jun’s blood.
{First of all, solve the first question.}
The magic circle began to change the scenery around Kang Seung-hyun, emitting red light.
The sanctuary of the temple of Sehmet turned into pitch-black darkness without a single light
< Are you the owner of this place? >
At the same time, Shin Yoo-jun, speaking to someone in the dark, appeared.
Originally, it would be Shin Yu-jun’s first-person point of view, but it seems to be shown from a third-person point of view because it is a fantasy reconstructed memory.
‘It’s bloody. It’s not your own blood, though.’
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at Shin Yu-jun and looked beyond him.
‘huh?’
What Shin Yoo-jun was talking to was a cube-like object wrapped around a white chain.
‘I think I saw that somewhere.’
