Episode 173
“…No way. “What’s in front”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ spoke with trembling lips.
“Uh. That’s right.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ answered.
“…”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked ahead with her expression filled with tension.
There, ‘Choi Won-ik’ was standing in front of the open door of ‘Seongju’s room.’
Although he was alone, her immense intimidation began to envelope her.
“…Whew-“
She barely managed to hold on to her trembling spirit.
Her mind was faint.
It was truly surprising that there was someone who could give such an intimidating feeling just by standing in front of him.
He began to walk slowly and approach in front of him.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at his hand in silence.
The moment you are directly hit by the magic coming from that hand, your life will end.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ glanced at her side.
‘Nam Do-yoon’ was also looking at ‘Choi Won-ik.’
“…?”
But, it was strange.
Far from being full of tension, his expression looked relaxed.
As if this situation is nothing.
Wooow-
Soon, magical power began to arise in the hands of ‘Choi Won-ik’.
“…”
When ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ saw that, she swallowed her saliva.
Soon, magic power will be released from that hand.
If that happens, your life will end there.
The conditions for activating this basic ‘instant fraud’ were heard from ‘Nam Do-yoon’ and ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ herself knew them.
But that wasn’t really the problem.
‘Even if you know that, you can’t deal with it.’
The speed of the magic power used by Choi Won-ik was so fast.
He was the possessor of ‘green’ mana, which boasted the fastest speed among various magical powers.
That’s why he was almost invincible because he knew how to use ‘Instant Death’.
In addition to the ‘green’ mana that boasts the fastest speed, he possesses the ‘instant death’ ability that can kill just by touching the mana.
There seemed to be no way to defeat him.
Sssss-
Soon, the magic power became a ray of light and began to fly out of his hand.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked blankly at the light.
The light was flying towards me.
“…”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ closed his eyes tightly.
Tears welled up from his eyes as he realized that this was the end of his life.
“…?”
However, no matter how much time passed, strangely enough, my feelings remained the same.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.
He should have already reached ‘death’, a state in which his five senses have disappeared and he cannot even feel his five senses.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked in front of him with his eyes wide open.
Then there was ‘Choi Won-ik’ with an embarrassed expression.
“…What happened..”
‘Choi Won-ik’ was confused.
His own fraud literally killed his opponents instantly, without a single exception.
However, he couldn’t do that at all this time.
“…No way.”
‘Choi Won-ik’ swallowed his saliva and looked in front of him.
There was ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
And there was a bead placed on the left side of ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
“…No way.”
‘Choi Won-ik’ said.
That bead is clearly a bead that other people cannot use.
‘What is that guy? ‘Do you really know how to use it?’
If you use that orb, you can escape the effects of instant death.
The reason is simple.
‘Just pour your magic into that orb.’
All you have to do is hold that orb and channel your magic power into it.
If that happens, a unique substance will come out of that orb.
The unusual substance was a unique substance that completely prevented instant death.
Choi Won-ik himself is researching what that unusual substance is, but has not yet revealed what it is.
‘Of course, the orb doesn’t necessarily respond just because you pour magical energy into it.’
Even if you pour magic power into that orb, the orb will not respond unconditionally.
Even if magic power was poured into the orb, in most cases it did not emit any unusual substances.
Despite this, there was only one case in which ‘instant death’ was prevented due to a peculiar substance being emitted when magic power was poured into that orb.
‘The bloodline of the devil.’
That ‘orb’ was thrown into the human world by the ‘Demon King’ and left behind.
At the same time, the ‘Demon King’ inserted a setting value into the ‘Orb’.
So that the defense function of that orb is activated only through the mana flowing from one’s own blood.
‘Actually, it was just for teasing.’
There was no way the devil’s bloodline could be here.
So, I thought it was no different from the torture of hope given to humans.
However, ‘Choi Won-ik’ was so thorough that he wanted to rule out even the slightest possibility.
That’s why I came here to remove the ‘orb’ in the ‘Castle Lord’s Room’.
“…I never thought it would really exist.”
‘Choi Won-ik’ looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ with a blank expression.
The guy in front of me must be the ‘bloodline of the devil’.
Otherwise, the current situation cannot be explained.
“…Then.”
‘Choi Won-ik’s current mind was completely controlled by ‘parasites’.
Everything he thinks is no different from the thoughts of a ‘parasite.’
‘Choi Won-ik’ looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon.’
‘I’m moving on to that guy.’
‘Choi Won-ik’ is also a tremendous talent. However, it is nothing compared to the bloodline of the Demon King.
‘Choi Won-ik’ grinned.
‘On the day when I am transferred to the devil’s bloodline and become possessed by the devil.’
His ability to possess himself completely takes over the opponent’s body and takes over their mind.
‘The Devil’ will be no exception.
‘What will happen?’
‘Choi Won-ik’ said with a grin.
It was really fun just imagining it.
Conquering all dimensions is probably not a dream.
‘Go.’
The parasite escaped from the body of ‘Choi Won-ik’.
It was invisible to the eye, but it must have been in the form of a very small flea.
Soon, the flea’s form began heading towards ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ at an incredibly fast speed.
***
“..What is it?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ had a puzzled expression.
I don’t know why, but ‘instant fraud’ didn’t work for me.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked to the side.
There, ‘Nam Do-yoon’ was grinning at himself.
It was as if he knew in advance that ‘fraud’ would not work on him.
“Hey.. What happened..”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ said to ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
“I’ll tell you about that later. “First of all, focus on the guy in front of you.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ could not bear to continue speaking.
This is because ‘Choi Won-ik’ started to collapse like he was crazy.
“…It means like that.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ muttered in a low voice.
The fact that ‘Choi Won-ik’ suddenly collapsed means that the ‘parasite’ that was taking over his mind escaped his body.
However, parasites rarely move from one body they have possessed to another.
If you leave the body you were possessed by, the mind that was completely in control will return to its original owner.
‘What it means to risk all that and come out’
This means that there is an advantage that offsets everything.
And perhaps ‘Parasite’ knows ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ as a bloodline of the devil.
‘Nam Do-yoon’ looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon.’
‘It was successful.’
Of course, it is true that the activation condition for that orb is ‘the bloodline of the devil.’
However, there was one more truly hidden activation condition.
‘The magical power of a person under the spell of death’
The magical power of a person under the death spell is very similar to the magical power of the devil’s blood.
Therefore, the magical power of a person under ‘death magic’ can activate that ‘orb’.
‘Of course, it’s only once.’
From Noble mtl dot com
It means that they have similar properties. It’s not exactly the same.
So, that orb cannot be activated perfectly.
But, that is enough.
That parasite will mistake ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ for blood of the devil.
I’ve never seen a case like that before, so it’s natural for the thinking circuit to work that way.
As expected, the flea started heading towards ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
****
‘I need to move.’
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ saw a flea flying towards her.
‘Absolutely not.’
I know about that flea because I have heard it explained countless times to ‘Nam Do-yoon.’
‘Parasite.’
When the parasite penetrates into the human body, the ‘flea’ first takes over the human mental system.
No matter how mentally strong a person is, he/she will never be able to endure it.
‘I don’t like it.’
Goosebumps appeared all over Jeong Ha-yeon’s body.
Just imagining myself behaving with my ego taken away by such a ‘parasite’ was terrifying.
I felt like it would be better to die.
“…Must be avoided.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ barely tried to stand up, holding on to her trembling hands.
Thump-
However, his body did not respond at all as he expected.
I couldn’t stand up because my legs were weak.
“…”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ swallowed her saliva.
Even at this moment, the ‘flea’ was flying towards me.
And before he knew it, the ‘flea’ was within close range.
“…Please.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ trembled with fear.
After a while, the flea would have reached his body and taken it out.
I really hated that more than dying.
The moment before a flea touches your body.
Someone blocked his path.
“…What is it?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked in front of her with a blank expression.
There was Nam Do-yoon who threw himself there.
“Hey! “What are you doing?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ shouted in a hurry.
But it was already too late.
Thump-
‘Nam Do-yoon’ collapsed in his seat.
It seemed like the ‘parasite’ had infiltrated the mind of ‘Nam Do-yoon’ and was taking control of it.
“Why on earth are you..”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’s eyes began to turn red.
