Solo Swordmaster Chapter 1093
#Side Story 62. Bride accepting a drink (2)
* * *
Gate of Valhǫll.
From adults to great witches and black wizards.
All magic masters join hands.
A great magic that combines the three great magics of the Silver Age, amplified by the magic of the demon god in Tartarus and spread to Avalon.
Opening the gates of the underworld and bringing the dead back to this world was literally a mystery that surpassed even a miracle.
It was thanks to the efforts of the priests of Limon that they were able to stop the Holy See’s general offensive, but the power of their magic was also great.
And among them, the one who was most active was the Sword Master.
From the King of Swords to the Black Sword Saint, Geomrang, the Swordman, Geomgwang, etc.
They were absolute people who returned from the underworld once again to protect the world.
Of course it’s temporary.
Unlike Wanderer’s Lion Resurrection, which used the power of stars and spells to bind even souls to this world, it was only summoned for a moment.
After the apocalyptic war is over.
After the gates of Valhalla closed.
They returned to the underworld again.
…mostly.
The problem was that the Gate of Valhalla was truly a magic unprecedented in history.
Even the legendary great witch Sir could barely use it with the help of gods and numerous absolute beings.
And since it was completed in such a hasty manner, the Valhalla Gate was never tested in any way and there was no opportunity to verify its safety.
In other words…
“…in short, the magic was twisted?”
[Rather than saying it was twisted, it was just that the magical power was overly concentrated, resulting in an effect that was slightly out of calculation.]
In the first place, magic is a mystery.
It is not a discipline that produces clear results like science, but is closer to an art that can produce wildly different results depending on the abilities and talents of the person using it.
Moreover, the Gate of Valhalla was a great magic created by the combined efforts of more than ten great witches and adult dark wizards.
It was natural that there were some miscalculations in the results.
[That was the case with the Geomhwa baby you brought from the parallel world.]
Yes, that was the case.
When the Gates of Valhalla were used.
Joan of Arc swung her sword until the very end, protecting the world from starlight.
Therefore, when the gates of Valhalla shattered along with the whirlpool of starlight, the magical power went out of control and the soul flew to the parallel world.
It was an absurd miracle that was achieved because the great magic of humanity’s all-out effort and the mighty power of a star collided.
But we must not forget.
Joan of Arc was just caught up.
In fact, there was a separate person who used all of that magical power to shatter the starlight vortex.
“Even if I ramble on about this and that, in the end, the reason Master became a ghost was because of that old lady’s mistake, right?”
[To be exact, it wasn’t my mistake, it was an accident caused by your teacher.]
“That’s it, you old woman!”
Limon ground his teeth.
If Sir had been in front of me, he would have shown me what an old man attack is.
The fact that she knew about this in advance and only revealed the truth through communication was truly a cunning act worthy of a great witch.
However, Sir actually spoke calmly and weakly.
[We haven’t even gotten to the main point yet, so don’t get so excited already.]
“What’s the main point?”
[The main point is that I tried my best to make your teacher Aga become Buddha.]
Sir, I did not stand by and ignore this situation.
Although it was not intentional, it turned the Geomje, who was in eternal rest in the underworld, into a ghost.
We tried every possible way to resolve the situation.
Of course, it was more about hiding this mistake from Limon rather than a sense of responsibility.
[But this doesn’t work out as expected?]
The problem was the current state of Geomje.
As the gates of Valhalla exploded, the soul of the Sword Emperor, who was tied to this world, was vaguely subject to lion revival.
Prayers, sacrificial rituals, etc.
The usual methods for turning a ghost into Buddha did not work at all.
So, I have searched for other means, but since the gate of Valhalla itself was a very special magic, it was not easy to find a solution.
Still, if I had had enough time, I would have taken 10 or 100 years to find a solution…
[More than anything, the problem is that there is no guarantee that Geomje’s baby’s condition will remain like this forever.]
“…It’s your fault, Master . “You could be?”
[Baby, as you know, the soul is very unstable.] The
reason why lion resurrection is taboo in the first place is not just because black magic, such as offering live sacrifices, is often used to pay the enormous price.
This is because the souls of those who return from the underworld can easily go wrong.
That is why, in most legends, such as zombies, evil spirits, jiangshi and vampires, beings who are resurrected from the dead are depicted as evil monsters.
Limon, who knew this well as he had defeated numerous warlocks, asked with a stern face.
“What could happen?”
[If you are lucky, you will end up as a ghost with blurred memories and consciousness.]
“…What if you are unlucky?”
[well? You may be reduced to a vengeful spirit or an evil spirit, or at worst, you may never be able to go to the afterlife and your soul will collapse…]
“What have you done to my teacher, you crazy old woman!!!”
Limon spat out two curses.
Until now, he had respected Sir as an elder and helper.
In fact, everything from the Liberation Brigade to the Seven Dragons’ Competitive World Federation and even the Apocalypse War were overcome more than once thanks to her help.
But this time, Sir’s accident was enough to make him forget all his exploits.
[That’s why I’ve called you now.]
It really is like the legendary great witch.
Sir was not intimidated by Limon’s roar.
Instead, he just let out a laugh and added a meaningful word.
[In that sense, do you know what the easiest way to make a ghost become Buddha?]
* * *
Meanwhile, that time.
Yuna-kyung was frozen in another room.
This is because Sir said he had a lot to talk about with Limon and entrusted him with entertaining the guests.
Of course, she was acknowledged by everyone for being shameless, so if it had been any other time, she would have naturally talked to someone she had met for the first time and pretended to be friendly.
Even if it’s a ghost.
But I couldn’t do that just now.
Because what she was facing now was no ordinary ghost.
[Hey.]
“Huh?!”
It’s truly unsettling.
Yu Na-kyung rolled her eyes and then straightened her back, looking like a borrowed pet bird with both wings resting on her knees.
The translucent ghost floating in front of him suddenly asked.
[Don’t lose your mind and just pour yourself a drink.]
“Huh? “Surgery?”
[Why don’t you like it?]
“No! “It can’t be!”
Yuna-kyung shook her head vigorously and lifted the bottle of alcohol on the table with both wings.
And so politely and carefully that I wondered if I had ever been this nervous in my life, I poured the drink into the glass the Geomje was holding.
gulp.
Geomje drinks a glass of wine with his translucent hand.
Yu Na-kyung, who was blankly watching the glass of alcohol pouring into her mouth, asked without realizing it.
“…Can you have a drink?”
[Why is it fascinating?]
“Oh, well. “A little bit.”
[It’s not that surprising. It’s no different from a ghost receiving and eating ancestral rites.]
“It looks a lot different…”
Yuna-kyung’s expression became strange.
She was able to recognize her at a glance because she learned all kinds of mysteries from Sir and spent decades with a ghost friend named Shera.
The current Geomje is a very special case even by ghost standards.
Still, thanks to that curiosity, Yuna-kyung relaxed a little and opened her mouth after looking around.
“For some reason, the witch asked for various types of alcohol, and that was what she wanted to give to her teacher?”
[Yes, fuck. He said that the shortcut to achieving Buddhahood is to let go of lingering attachments, and he let me drink without hesitation.]
“Do you want to attain Buddhahood?”
[Of course, I have to attain Buddhahood. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for a bitch to stay in this world and wander around for no reason?]
“…I didn’t particularly try to embarrass you.”
Yu Na-gyeong made a subtle expression as she looked at Geomje speaking indifferently.
Of course, I had a ghost named Shera as my friend.
From the perspective of those who knew Limon’s brides who had returned from the underworld, like Geomryeong and Geomhu Geomhwa, it was difficult to agree to these words.
I don’t know if I know how she feels.
Geomje held out his empty wine glass again.
[But it’s a chicken wing.]
“It’s not a chicken, it’s a blue bird of dreams and hope…”
[Yes, it’s a chicken wing. I have a question.]
“…Okay, what are you curious about?”
Grrr.
Although she was disappointed at being treated like a chicken, Na-kyung Yu politely poured alcohol into Geomje’s empty glass.
I don’t know if it’s someone else.
Because she knew too well.
What kind of person is Geomje to Limon, the man who was his former boss and former owner, and is now his beloved husband and stepfather?
So, like a daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law for the first time, I had no choice but to act politely…
[Did you sleep with my student too?]
“Yes… Eek?!”
It was just a moment.
Yuna-kyung, who had almost answered politely without thinking, had her feathers ruffled like a pigeon struck by a sword.
Thanks to that, the Geomje inadvertently saw the alcohol overflowing in his glass and asked indifferently as if he had said something strange.
[Why are you saying you’re that fucking bride too?]
“Oh no, that’s….”
[What’s not? Are you the bride? Or did you sleep?]
“…Ugh.”
Yuna-kyung’s eyes were spinning.
Should I tell the truth? No, but even so, I can lie…!
Total chaos.
It was a time when Yuna-kyung was going through a difficult, tense, and confusing situation that was more difficult than fighting with a constellation that she had never experienced in her past life as well as in her current life.
A voice was heard.
“It is true that she is my bride and that she slept with me. “Master.”
“manager…!”
I wouldn’t have been this happy when I met my savior while being chased by the Constellation.
When Yuna-kyung sees the groom who saved her, she makes a bright expression as if he had literally come back from the dead… or even more so.
Limon politely knelt before the Sword Emperor.
“Sorry for being late, Master.”
[I’m sorry. I never waited for you, so what kind of nonsense are you talking about?]
[Hehe, even though I never waited for you, it’s true that I wanted to see you, right? So even now…]
[Shut up you pseudo-shaman woman!]
[Isn’t that expression a bit too much? I am neither a cult nor a shaman.]
[This old woman is a pseudo-ghost who summons normal ghosts and turns them into ghosts.]
Perhaps it is because she is not dissatisfied with the fact that she suddenly turned herself into a ghost.
While the ghost of the Sword Emperor raised his twin wicks and struck a double curse on the crystal ball floating behind him.
Limon opened his mouth after a short hesitation.
“Master, I have a question.”
[What are you talking about?]
Before speaking.
He was silent for a moment.
And is this really true?
He looked worried and then spoke softly with a sigh.
“Do you still have that desire to open a tavern when the world comes where you can drink as much as you want?”
