Chapter 175
A translucent, intangible energy spread out around Tkish.
“Hayul-kun, behind me… … !”
The blue mage lord blocked my way and spread a barrier of water.
A barrier of water that quickly covered the front.
Above him, the intangible energy emitted by T’Kish attacked.
and that moment.
“… … Blue Mage Tower Lord?”
The body of the blue mage tower lord disappeared.
‘What kind of situation is this?’
It’s not just the blue mage tower lord.
The Lord of the Red Mage Tower, Charles, and my father.
Everyone unknowingly disappeared.
It was as if he had been sucked into the barrier that Tkish had spread.
‘What happened?’
My head got complicated at once.
I couldn’t understand the current situation. Information is sorely lacking.
“… … what are you?”
The only ones left here are me and Miho. And only shadows.
“How do you get into the spirit world… … .”
“The spirit world?”
Shadow shut his mouth.
It seems that he realized his mistake.
‘The spirit world… … .’
I can’t say for sure, but since the keyword “world” was included, it seems certain that it used barrier-type magic.
spiritual there. Since it has a modifier called soul, it must be a special barrier that only Tkish can use.
“… … I don’t understand.”
Shadow got down on one knee and sat down on the floor.
Blood trickled down from the body covered in shadow.
It seems that he did his best to rescue Tkish a while ago.
“And that monster… … what the hell are you… … . Cool!”
Shadow coughed.
The shadows covering the body became soft.
It sure seems like a bunch of people.
‘If you’re in that state of exhaustion… … It’s worth doing even for me now.’
I lowered Miho to the floor and immediately got into a combat stance.
“Laughs. Do you think a wizard like you can beat me?”
“Shouldn’t we try to struggle, no matter what?”
A suffocating tension passed.
In the quiet atmosphere, only Shadow’s rough breathing resonated loudly.
“I’ll let you know the fountain.”
Shadow’s shadow formed the shape of a monster.
Defense seems to be pretty good.
took an aggressive form.
“die.”
A shadow monster flew at me.
It opens its huge mouth wide and attacks me with the momentum to swallow me.
‘too fast!’
can not avoid.
My body can’t cope with that speed.
The only countermeasure I can take is to use magic.
‘Strengthen the Ring of Resonance!’
‘Maximum output of octagonal gates!’
An octagonal door opened in front of me.
A full-strength barrier blocked my path.
‘This is enough… … !’
Could it be possible to stop it somehow?
Even if I can’t stop it, maybe I can somehow buy some time to get out of the seat.
Thinking so, I thought of the next escape route.
however.
“Didn’t you hear? The shadow is not bound by anything.”
Contrary to my expectations, my octagonal gate could not block the shadow monster’s charge.
“die.”
A shield that instantly disappeared upon impact.
My vision filled the shadow monster’s mouth.
A crisis of utter despair.
That moment.
Kang!
Standing proudly at my feet, the little fox, Miho, roared.
A small but distinct roar.
A warm light burst out around Miho.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
And the next moment, the shadow monster exploded like a balloon.
It happened in an instant.
“Shadow… … Erase it… … ?”
Shadow’s voice trembled with embarrassment.
“If you blocked it, you don’t know, but to delete it… … Could such a thing be possible… … .”
Shadow’s shadow shuddered.
His injuries must have been aggravated by the previous attack.
“That it is possible… … .”
The shadow covering Shadow’s face flowed like mud.
A youthful appearance that can only be seen as a 13-year-old child.
Similarly, her youthful eyes were shining with joy, as if denying her age.
“Right. you… … . is it.”
That moment.
“Then it’s a different story.”
The shadow expanded again. As if filling all of this space, the shadows expanded.
It soon became a temple.
‘The temple-type magic that is said to have been used in the 3rd magic stone warehouse… … .’
Obviously right after using this magic.
You said all three disappeared.
In other words, this magic is likely to be an escape type magic.
“I will do it here for today.”
Shadow’s new spirit sank as if it were being sunk into the shadow temple.
The eyes that slowly sank to the ground shone brilliantly.
“Then see you again. Shinha rate. what don’t be too sad I will see you again soon.”
It was like the eyes of a lamb who found new hope.
Saaaa… … .
That’s how Shadow disappears with the Shadow Temple.
Only Miho and I were left at the place.
“Miho. What did you just do?”
I asked Miho while maintaining my tension.
Naturally, Miho did not answer.
Just as if this much wasn’t a big deal, after a small cry, she jumped into my arms.
I hugged Miho and stroked her hair.
‘… … You can ask Mimir for details.’
I took out ‘A.S’ and put it on my body.
Then, he took out the ‘Book of Mimir’ from subspace.
It was for Mimir to enter each other.
‘The Spiritual World. I need Mimir’s wisdom in order to somehow manage Tkish’s special barrier where you were sucked in.’
I opened Mimir’s book as it was, and headed to the inside of Mimir’s book.
widely!
My body was sucked into the book, and Mimir’s book, which had become free, fell freely, and I heard the sound of crashing into the ground.
* * *
spiritual world.
A season of black magic using the ‘soul’ handled by Tkish as a medium.
A secret technique that can only be unfolded by offering all the sanctuary and sacrifices prepared in advance.
It’s a high-risk magic that you can’t use often because you have to give everything and you can’t create a [Sanctuary] for a while after the load is too strong, but the return you can get in return is amazing.
“no use. bugs. Your achievements in this world have no meaning.”
spiritual world.
Another name is the world that discusses with the soul.
Strength in this world is not determined by magic or power.
“There is only one thing that has meaning in this world. It’s just the price of the soul.”
In this world, a person with a high level of soul becomes a strong person.
“The souls of worms like you do not even reach the toes of my soul.”
Therefore, the strongest in this world has no choice but to be Tkish.
No wonder.
Wizards are researchers who train magic, not practitioners who raise the quality of the soul.
No matter how great a wizard is, the quality of the soul is bound to be mediocre.
On the other hand, what about Tkish?
A magician who controls souls.
As much as the spiritual practice, the level of the soul inevitably has to be high.
Therefore, in this spiritual world, Tkish is invincible.
‘There is only one person in this world who can defeat me. It’s only the Dark Mage King.’
Unless he was born with a great soul like the Dark Mage King, he would never lose.
“Don’t speak incomprehensible things. trash.”
Shin In-hyeok glared at Tkish with a ghost-like expression befitting his nickname.
“There is no such thing as a soul in this world.”
The concept of a soul does not exist in this world.
There is no scientifically verified bar, nor magically verified bar.
Humans do not have souls, and there is no such thing as an afterlife.
“Since the soul does not exist, of course there is no such thing as a soul. It is useless to try to cover the effect of the special barrier with such nonsense.”
There is no wizard in this world who believes in the existence of ghosts.
“Every mage who has set foot in this world has said that.”
Tkish twisted the corners of his mouth as if he was having fun.
“They are really barbaric things. A concept that clearly exists… … Not even aware of the existence of the soul.”
overwhelming sense of superiority.
The catharsis that comes from enjoying what others cannot feel alone thrilled Tkish.
Aaaaaaaaaagh!
Above them, the magic of the red pagoda, the blue pagoda, Shin In-hyeok, and Charles fell.
Four simultaneous explosions of circle 8 magic.
The power was so great, it was as if a nuclear bomb had fallen.
There was no indication that he was using defensive magic or that he had left.
No, Mana didn’t move at all in the first place.
The magic of the four definitely hit Tkish.
“When someone gives you advice, listen. bugs.”
But Tkish was fine.
Not to mention a scratch, I couldn’t find a single spot of soot on my clothes.
“No. Was it wrong from the beginning to think that the conversation with the ant would work? If so, that’s my mistake.”
T’Kish chuckled and raised his right hand.
And lightly moved his hand horizontally.
Mana’s movements were not visible. An insignificant act that was just waving in the air.
That was all.
“Cheuk!”
“Wow!”
Suddenly, the bodies of the four Red Magic Tower Master, Blue Magic Tower Master, Shin In-hyeok, and Charles flew away like bullets.
It was as if an invisible, intangible hammer hit the four of them hard.
“Insects don’t die from being crushed once or twice.”
T’Kish slammed his right hand down.
Aaaaaang!
At the same time, the four Shinyoung fell headlong to the ground.
“Some pests survive even if you burn them with fire and cut them in two.”
He raised his hand straight up.
The four bodies rose vertically upwards again.
“Just like you guys.”
Then, he slaps his hand down again.
The hand struck at a much faster speed than before.
The speed at which the four Shinyoung fell was also nothing compared to before.
Aaaaaaaaaagh-!
Four people were pinned to the ground.
Four craters, each hollowed out in place.
“you… What have you done… … !”
Charles, who was stuck in one of the craters, gritted his teeth and glared at Tkish.
“How can you do without using mana… … .”
“Should I tell you again? In this world, the level of the soul determines everything… … I think I’ve already said it once.”
T’Kish pointed at Charles with his right hand.
Charles’ body flew to Tkish.
Aww!
‘What power… … !’
I tried to resist with telekinesis, but it was useless.
Even though it was telekinesis with all its might, it could not resist Tkish’s power.
“… … hound!”
The red mage tower quickly escaped from the crater and moved to help Charles.
“Stop.”
“… … !”
Similarly, T’Kish’s power could not be resisted.
“You too. Just stop and watch quietly.”
It was the same for Shin In-hyeok and Kim Kang-in.
As if I was tied to Tkish’s words, I couldn’t move my body at all.
I was told to be quiet, so it was impossible to even move my mouth.
“I am the king in this world.”
widely!
Tkish grabbed Charles by the neck as it was.
“I owe a lot to you. This is the answer.”
While holding his neck with his right hand, he grasped Charles’ right arm with his left hand.
“Please don’t die of shock all at once.”
“This bastard… … .”
Aww!
Tkish’s left hand went into strength, and the blood vessels stood out.
“The pain of being torn apart… … It will be very special.”
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
T’Kish tore off Charles’ right arm.
Right arm and torso separated in an instant.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The sharp screams indicated the magnitude of the pain.
“ruler. Fools who said they couldn’t believe in the existence of souls. I will show you the proof from now on.”
He held up Charles’ right arm, which was completely detached, and showed the cut off section to everyone.
“Unlike the body, the soul does not bleed when torn apart.”
No blood, no flesh, no bones were visible in the cut cross section.
All I see is a translucent mirage.
“And one more. In this world, it is not the end just because a part of the body is torn off.”
T’Kish threw Charles’ right arm up.
Then, he struck his free-falling right arm with the blade of his hand.
Awesome!
Charles’ right arm was cut in two.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Charles’ screams resounded desperately again.
The pain is felt even though it should not be felt because the right arm was cut off from the body.
“like this. The fragments of the severed soul still remain sensible.”
T’Kish stretched out his left hand and pulled Charles’s broken arm.
Charles’s right hand, which was in Tkish’s hand again.
“By the way, it’s free to attach it like this.”
T’Kish touched the amputated part of his arm with his index finger.
Then, as if it had been cut off, it was restored to its original form.
“how is it. Do you believe in the existence of souls now?”
“this… … baby… … .”
Charles glared at Tkish with ferocious eyes.
Saliva drips from the corners of your mouth. It was a sign of pain.
“That look. nice very good. That way I’ll be more inclined to torment you.”
Tkish was delighted.
What if my heart breaks here? I don’t think you need to worry about that.
“ruler. From now on, I will slowly carve this arm, millimeter by millimeter, starting with the fingers.”
Tkish raised Charles’ right arm in the air.
Then, he brought his index finger to that arm. It was like a doctor putting a scalpel on a patient’s body.
“Please beg. Then I might take a look.”
Wow!
Charles spat as it was.
“… … Grab your dick.”
“Hoo.”
Charles gathered all his strength and cast his magic.
The 8th circle level telekinesis strangled Tkish’s whole body.
A physical force powerful enough to turn a decent amount of apartments into ashes hit Tkish’s body.
however.
“I will wait and see how long that spirit lasts. Let’s start with the fingers.”
Tkish showed no reaction.
Here, in the spirit world, magic cannot do him any harm.
“You don’t have to worry about time. Unlike the body, the soul is not bound by time and space. Time in this space is infinite.”
Tkish’s index finger slowly. Very slowly, it headed for Charles’ finger.
“Until you cry and ejaculate. This torture never ends.”
squeak, squeak.
Is it to maximize fear?
First, cut your nails as if you were slowly gnawing them.
“no. Even if you cry and ejaculate, it doesn’t end.”
T’Kish’s eyes burned with disgust and anger.
“Taste the pain of eternity, regret it.”
Tkish’s index finger slowly approaching the flesh.
“This bastard… … .”
“Sorry. That goddamn god more than you. I wanted to turn that bastard into a body that could neither die nor live.”
squeak, squeak.
Fingernails that cut little by little.
The sound was like the whispers of the death god.
‘But… … I don’t know. How the hell did he escape my spiritual world?’
Tkish’s eyes narrowed.
How did Shin Ha-yul get out of the spiritual world?
I am very concerned.
‘… … Well, it doesn’t matter at all now. Shadow must have held it. I’ll torture you slowly and ask.’
Just when Tkish’s index finger, after thinking about it, was about to cut off Charles’ flesh.
“I made you wait a long time. Now, the long-awaited torture begins… … .”
“Until there.”
Someone grabbed Tkish’s hand. Tkish’s heart trembled violently in his grasp.
An energy so great that one dare not even think of resisting.
A being with awe enough to make even T’Kish’s soul tremble with fear stood behind T’Kish. coldly recited.
‘Huh, Dark Mage King?’
this momentum.
I’ve felt it once before.
Black Mage King.
The ruler of the great Black Magic Tower.
His great spirit has arrived here.
“Dark Mage King. What happened to this filthy place… … .”
After removing his hand from Charles’ neck, he turned around and greeted the Dark Mage King with a respectful attitude.
however.
“you… … !”
The one standing behind Tkish wasn’t the Dark Mage King.
“Shin Ha-yul!”
Shinha rate.
He was looking down at Tkish with a cold expression.
