My Villains Episode 132
34. Soul Sorcerer (4)
As Hrunting drew a white trail, Karamek’s head soared into the sky, spattering blood.
Most decapitated creatures die within seconds. It was a very obvious worldly reason, but it didn’t seem to work for the great shaman.
“Turn it off.”
Powered by mighty magical power and tenacious vitality, Karamek was barely holding on to his consciousness. But his life was rapidly waning.
“You me-”
As the head floating in the air glared at him, Phoenix’s face turned white.
‘Could it be the secret art of reincarnation? No, it can’t be.’
As Phoenix expected, Karamek was not good at regeneration-type secret arts. Instead, he was very good at secret arts that hurt others.
“Rec’ti elarrve (my beasts).”
As the head floated into the air and pulled out spirit power high into the sky, the spirit beasts clung to it. The head, which had been turning pale as blood poured out, was dyed indigo. It was ‘Chungcheon’s liquor’.
Meanwhile, ghosts were constantly pouring out from the cracks in the underworld that split along the horizon. There were so many ghosts that it seemed as if a gray mist was rising from afar.
“This crazy.”
Phoenix, who had covered Hrunting with the great sorcerer’s blood, turned to Ellen.
“Find the Ellen core.”
“Nuke?”
“Yes. Destroy it to close the rift.”
At Phoenix’s urgent words, Ellen raised her magic power. A deep and vast magical power unsuitable for a 17-year-old sensed the changes that had come to the indigo world.
‘The power of Karamek is dissipating!
‘ However, the advanced work of controlling the dimensional rift was not continued.
Thanks to this, the rift was expanding wildly. If left as it is, a dimensional collision might really happen.
“Whoa-”
Ellen spread her magic at once and stole control of the area.
Gooooh-
The sea parted and the road to the bottom of the water appeared. It was the way to the nucleus.
“Only Atalanta remains, the rest go down!”
“Wait, then you,”
Ellen hesitated, and Utequai exclaimed resolutely.
“There is no time, follow me!”
As Utequai jumped onto the ramp revealed through the water, Siren and his party ran after him. However, Ellen was still looking at Phoenix with hesitation.
“Poi...
” Go! Go find the rift!”
Karamek was dyeing the spirit beasts gathered around his head indigo. A huge monster with a tiger’s paws, a leopard’s waist, a wolf’s head, a bear’s chest, an eagle’s wings, and a snake’s tail took shape.
“Damn, it’ll be done soon... Hurry up!”
Phoenix, who caught a glimpse of that figure, left Ellen behind and jumped forward.
“Ugh”
Ellen bit her lower lip and eventually threw herself to the surface.
“Atalante! Prepare the Void Orb!”
Atalanta, who was raising her spirits at Phoenix’s cry, suddenly made a strange expression.
‘...When did I tell you my real name?’
The monster, who had grown as big as the castle for a while, revealed that thought.
Kreureung.
As the monster with four pairs of eyes growled ferociously, spiritual power began to pour out. Hair dyed in green and blue fluttered and the world vibrated. The sea beneath your feet surges and pours toward the sky like rain falling backwards...
“...Liljanun (Going crazy).”
As Atalanta muttered, creating a sphere of emptiness, Phoenix searched for Karamek’s body. From the headless corpse, I took out a pair of rings that sparkled in iridescent light and picked up the stone slab.
‘...necklace. Where’s the necklace?’
Phoenix’s black eyes were busy scanning the surroundings.
Within seconds, Phoenix found a shining pendant in front of them. And the indigo monster crouching in front of the pendant.
“......Ha fuck.”
I wanted to throw off the pendant right away because of the burning pain at the extremities, but I concentrated on holding the slate.
Ki-
i- the spirits that had flown in from the underworld screamed. It was because of the power of stone slabs or ‘tombstones’.
A power that traps, corrupts, defiles, tortures the soul, and finally yields it. It was the same power that made Eilisha, Karamek’s wife, a ghost.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
When the tombstone was opened, crazy ghosts poured out all at once. Hundreds of thousands of ghosts let out terrible screams, and even the spirits of the underworld were frightened and retreated.
“Ha ha ha.”
I was blind.
Light, life, flesh, moment dispersed, darkness, death, soul, eternity gathered.
I felt like going crazy. Crisis hit with every breath.
Kreukeuong!
A ferocious howl woke me up. Holding on to his faint spirit, he whispered to the ghosts on the tombstone.
“...get revenge.”
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The ghosts that covered the sky screamed in joy. The ghosts flocked to Karamek. I saw it even with my blind eyes.
“Nix.”
“Ah ah-”
“Calm down Nix.” A tired voice was heard. With a faint remaining sensation, I felt a hand hugging my body. It wasn’t as warm as Daria’s, but it was a gentle touch.
“Ah ah Daria?”
“Hey Atilia. Wake up Nix.”
“Ah Daria Daria.”
For some reason, crying broke out. Tears mixed with melted eyeballs and ran down his cheeks.
“Lu alkarf...
something flowed down my throat
. The pain in his limbs seemed to lessen.
The trembling voice of Atalanta or Daria continued.
“Listen to Nix. I made several void orbs. You have to lure him there.”
“Oh boy?”
“It’s Karamek. Car Ramek transformed into a monster.”
“I forgot Karamek Human Destruction. There was such a character.
“Nyx, the spirits you summoned are being pushed back.”
I saw the ghosts fighting the indigo monster. While engulfed in the flames of spiritual power and disappearing, the ghosts were hammering their teeth into the monster...
“Where, where.”
“wait.”
Daria ran away while hugging me.
“You can lure it this way. Then I can put an end to it.”
“Ah-”
I tried to move my hardening tongue. I don’t know what he said, but
the ghosts who were harassing Karamek all at once scattered.
“Hey, hey.” At my call, a ghost descended to the surface. The monster, facing the ghost, stood tall.
oh yeah
Karamek approached Eilisha. The woman who had lost her senses cried in pain. Karamek also cried like a beast.
“Just a little more nicks.”
The monster shrank to the size of a human.
“Okay, just a little bit.”
The moment the couple met, I called the ghosts together. The ghosts embraced the couple tightly.
Daria’s warm hand wrapped around my ear.
“Ainfijar.”
A sudden silence.
By the time the tinnitus was heard, Karamek, Eilisha, and other ghosts were nowhere to be seen.
The vision that illuminated the world of spirits turned into complete darkness.
