Episode 200
forbidden law.
In other words, it refers to the fundamental principles of the world.
Cheongjuhwa had also heard of such a concept to some extent.
“… So, what do you mean by turning back time?”
[Maybe.]
It was obviously a ridiculous joke, but the attitude of the blue dragon was serious. At that, Cheongju-hwa panicked and shook her head.
“There is no way that would be possible. Still, I don’t think he has that level of power.”
[Didn’t I tell you before? It was said that his growth was not progress, but rather a process of regaining what was lost for a while.]
The blue dragon, who spoke out with a decisive attitude, immediately twisted his body once, and licked his lips.
[Besides, it may be an unfamiliar concept to you, the exorcist of this age, but in the beginning, witchcraft did not have a clear system as it is now.]
“… So how was it?”
[It was close to a wish, or an original wish.]
In a word, what started as a human wish has changed to the current magic system.
There was no limit to such a miraculous power, Blue Dragon said, anything was possible.
[Of course, I don’t think it’s a grandiose thing like turning back time. I have never seen or heard of such a feat.]
Therefore, what the Blue Dragon was suspicious of was the other side.
[It is highly probable that he is not a human of this age. Personally, I believe that the alcohol of reincarnation (幻生) must have been activated by completing an incalculable amount of sobriety.]
“… … .”
[If that is the case, it explains all of his nonsensical knowledge and skills, as well as experiences that are not appropriate for his age.]
“I heard it for sure… … .“
It makes sense. If that was the case, it wasn’t that much of a fussy story. That’s a pretty probable hypothesis.
Cheongjuhwa swallowed his saliva and asked the blue dragon.
“Then you must be really old, aren’t you?”
[Maybe.]
“Should I call you old man from now on?”
[…] Sometimes, I see that you are really worrying about useless things.]
However, with that, Cheongju-hwa clearly showed his stance toward Han Kang-yoon.
[He seems to like him quite a bit.]
“It doesn’t look like Blue Dragon is any different.”
[It is unavoidable because I have received it.]
Kang-yoon Han kept her promise with Cheong-ryong and brought back Yeoui-ju.
To be honest, as a blue dragon, it was a situation where I couldn’t think of anything bad about it.
[However, there is a stark difference between knowing and following along with knowing.]
“Yes. Thanks for letting me know.”
Having said all these words, the blue dragon nodded softly and entered the Cheongshimok, which was hung around Cheongjuhwa’s neck.
After that, Cheongjuhwa, who was left alone in the room, lay down on a blanket and pondered.
‘I knew it wasn’t normal, but… … ‘
Han Kang-yun may have more secrets than Cheongju-hwa thinks.
However, it didn’t matter.
Because Cheongju-hwa has not been with Han Kang-yoon until now to care about such things.
At a time when I was quietly living like a mouse dead on the floor under the glare of the blue house, the only person who raised such a cheongju flower and treated me sincerely was Han Kang-yoon.
Even if some kind of calculation was mixed, that fact does not change.
There was no room for concern.
Cheongjuhwa finished her thoughts and closed her eyes in a sleepy sleep.
It is a new thing, but it was truly the peace I had felt in a long time.
***
The end of the second Baekgwi night incident has come.
With the help of the united Cheongga and other famous households, the exorcists of Korea began to organize a large-scale area, and at the same time, the occurrence of youkai also decreased, so people finally regained their original lives.
However, that did not mean total peace.
“So! I can’t be relieved anymore, isn’t it?”
“It is not a matter to be swept away. We need to take action right now in the National Assembly.”
“The accumulated damage is huge. We have no idea how long it will take to recover.”
Clearly, the exorcists outperformed expectations.
Perhaps the years have not been in vain since the 1st Baekgwi Night Trip, and despite difficult circumstances, he has defended the citizens and successfully defeated the monsters.
However, the damage was nevertheless severe, and people around the world have one thing in their minds as a result of this incident.
Perhaps, the possibility that this may not just be the end.
‘Of course.’
It was a hypothesis that had been quiet for a while, but in the end, the second Baekgwi Nightfall happened.
So where is the law that there will be no third?
There is a saying that even if it’s a coincidence once, it’s inevitable the second time.
Now, the Baekgwi Nights has come to be recognized by the people of the world as a situation that can recur at any time.
People could no longer be unconditionally reassured, and it became a reality where they had to continue their lives with a series of fears.
But even so, they had to return to society.
So, at least on the surface, the world began to roll again.
‘… … .’
It’s been a week since the decisive battle with Jung Hae-ha.
And to this day, two days before school starts, I was still staying in her mansion.
The reason was really simple.
’emotion.’
Tiling!

It was because the disposition of my shadow, who was like the starting point of all this, had not been decided.
‘… No matter how you think about it, it’s strange.’
As expected, his true identity was my shadow created during the Seed of Solitude Crisis.
A lot of time has passed since then, so even though he looks the same on the outside, he has become a completely different person from me on the inside.
‘Even so far, what is it?’
How much power I have been summoned, my duplic theme is now at a higher level than me.
Besides, I don’t know why, but he had the ability to accelerate growth that I didn’t have.
‘If it’s not innate, there’s no way to get it?’
Perhaps there is some kind of condition that I am not aware of here. Just knowing that was a huge achievement.
‘Next, the witch’s reverberation characteristics.’
This part really bothers me.
Obviously, the time I got it was quite a long time after the Seed of Solitude incident.
In fact, characteristics such as dragon body, strong bones, and emergency evasion that he did not have at the time of the incident were not found in him.
But strangely, it has only the reverberation characteristic of a witch whose access route is ambiguous.
He certainly wouldn’t have entered the maze of eternity, though.
I thought about it a lot, but no definitive conclusion was reached.
If there is a plausible hypothesis, it is the possibility that this witch’s reverberation characteristics may have been given to me by someone’s influence.
‘In a word, it is a kind of marking.’
At the time when I was sucked into the maze of eternity, he was still there somewhere in Korea.
In other words, there is a possibility that stigmatizing me may have been applied to him at the same time in some way.
‘He has a lot of anxiety factors by his very existence.’
So, to be honest, it would be easier to just destroy it.
Then you don’t have to worry about anything.
However, after considering the profit and loss from various aspects, I decided to make him my shikigami.
‘It’s a subtle feeling.’

Maybe Ambassador Jin Myung had done his best to use it as my chess horse, and when I met him, he had already become like an empty doll.It did not recover despite Jinmyung’s death, and it is still the same even today.
It is not known what the outcome of this will be.
But nonetheless, my choice was firm.
“… … .”
Whoops.
Paz.
After successfully completing the contract of shikigami, I gave him a name.
That’s because it couldn’t simply be called a duplicate or a shadow.
“You are Doyoung from now on.”
He was born after imitating myself and stealing my traits, so there is probably no better title than this.
slurp.
Fuwaak!
I put Doyoung in the shadows as it is, and I went back to the mansion and started preparing to leave.
A lot of things have happened, but now it’s time to go back to where we were supposed to be.
The final semester at Tsinghua Academy was finally about to begin.
***
“… It seems that no one was seriously injured. yes. I was relieved.”
It was Sophia and other classmates who welcomed me back to the academy.
They too have suffered a lot from this situation, and now they have a lot of dignity on their faces.
In fact, the level and ability values were also raised accordingly.
‘… It means that we are slowly moving on to the next chapter.’
As with all upbringing games, the ending story tends to progress only after the abilities of the teammates have reached a certain level.
Even though they may not be the main characters, their growth, which has their own weight, seemed to imply that the train was moving towards its destination little by little.
‘It’s not unusual.’
Quite a while has passed since I fell here.
Now, they were in their senior year, and the main character, Ha-on Yoo, is also growing into a full-fledged exorcist.
No, maybe it has already happened.
‘And, from now on, one mistake will ruin everything.’
It was also after this point that users who played Exorcism 1 experienced the most failures.
From here on, the situation had to be met with more certainty and perfection than ever before.
‘It’s difficult.’
I tried not to show it, but my thoughts started to get complicated.
Variables that have occurred so far, and new possibilities that have arisen from them.
And even the unexpected obstacles that will block me in front of me.
I always had a large number in mind, but that did not mean omniscience.
In particular, only adversity that is not easy to overcome one by one awaits us in the future.
I feel like I have lost some confidence now that I will be able to safely reach the place I want to go beyond all of that.
‘However… … .’
I had no intention of running away.
I will continue to think and continue to act in response to variables.

Maybe it was just a blind promise based on inertia, but I had nothing else to aim for anyway.I glanced at the bench of the academy that somehow looked older than before, sat on it and looked up at the sky.
Thinking a little bit about what awaits at the end of this.
