50. Here we use 「Grandpa」
“Oh, what happened.”
I opened my eyes in the dark. Inadvertently, he spat out his usual self-talk, but then he was taken aback.
The voice sounds strange. Instead of the spiritual waves unique to mental waves, what you feel now is the growth created by vibrating your own body.
However, my appearance did not suddenly become human or something. I was just taken aback by the completely unexpected situation, but soon I figured out the whole story without difficulty.
“Sure it is.”
I was just mistaking it because I heard a voice, but I was still speaking with a mental wave. The mental wave has always been heard as a voiceover.
Because this place was crazy. The unconscious, the world of images. Any words are fine. The important thing is that it wasn’t.
The important thing was that this place was my spiritual world. A familiar darkness that can never be confused, a peaceful darkness. But why? I had never intended to come here.
I tried to concentrate my consciousness on the surface, but an unfamiliar and unpleasant darkness that was different from mine blocked it. I’m stuck inside my psyche
That wasn’t enough, as the owner walked along, the white objects raised their heads one by one in the dark. Those whom I ate, those whose souls have been stolen by me, reveal their murderous intentions.
“Because of you! Because of you!”
“It’s painful, it’s painful, it’s painful. What did I do wrong that I have to suffer like this?”
“Let’s become one. I will embrace all your sins and kiss you.”
The body was a specter, but this place was a spirit, so their voices sounded like voices. Hundreds and thousands of ghosts, who appeared in an instant, rushed towards me like waves.
“Yes.”
Desperate Crisis.
“Originally, I have to clean often.”
I laughed.
Most of the souls harvested from the Dark Church escaped, but there were also many other souls that were recently introduced. Being sealed in Vigo for decades, I didn’t have the energy to manage my mental world.
It’s like this because I procrastinated while thinking that I should clean it once in a while. The souls that had succumbed to me and the souls that had not yet yielded in one voice to curse me.
Look around. My ego stood on the highest cusp of a towering tower. Surrounding the tower, ghosts roar. Trampling and scratching each other, they try to rise above this.
But I know this is not a tower. No matter what anyone says, this is my world.

“But, I don’t think you need to write this.”
It is not actual force that determines the victory or defeat of the mental world. What matters is mental strength. If you have mental strength and imagination, everything you desire in your mind will come true.
Moreover, as the owner of this image, I have an overwhelming power of manifestation that is incomparable to other inhabitants of the spirit. Of course, even so.
“Tear, tear, tear. How much more? Until when?”
“Come closer, closer. So that I can bite off your sweet lips!”
To be honest, it’s hard for me to overwhelm hundreds of ghosts with my own mental strength. Still, I had my own know-how accumulated as a demonic sword.
Close your eyes and close your ears. The cries of the ghosts move away from the asrai, and in complete silence, an image is drawn in my head.
A mere vague thought has substance in it. When I opened my eyes again, I saw a huge giant rising from the darkness where the ghosts were stepping.
It hasn’t been refined yet, so it’s just a bunch of shimmering darkness. But as I focus my imagination, little by little the features protrude and the lines of the body become clear.
Soon.
In my demonic imagination, colors are painted on the body of a giant. Cute and dainty animal ears stand upright, and a coveted and fluffy tail sticks out from the buttocks.
Imagining is one of the most memorable experiences of my recent adventures. Of course, the hero was impressive enough, but the one I chose now overwhelms the specter with its simple appearance-
“The tactical weapon L.U.C.A.S. Throwing down.”
Grandpa with cat ears!
That’s not just a cat-eared grandfather either. Old beastmen are usually few, but Lucas is special among them.
In addition to the already ugly face, the scars that could not be erased by the regenerative power of the beastman, the philtrum split with stigmata, and the experience of living in modern times, it was a truly tactical weapon.
I have more than enough strength to subdue the spirits that are raging in my mental world. Menacing mental power comes out only when it is concentrated.
“Quaaagh!”
“Give me your eyes, your eyes that didn’t see that!”
“You crazy bastard! I saw it too!”
The moment they faced an abominable landscape that their eyes could not accept with their brains, the ghosts scattered like grains of sand. Of course, there were those who wore armbands and tried to control other specters.
Most of the ghosts were scattered, but a very small number of ghosts gathered together and formed a unity. The moment I noticed even the slightest hint, I immediately moved the giant.
“Captain, don’t leave me!”
“Damn it!”
The materialization power of the mental world is replaced by physical force proportional to it. The moment the ghosts who couldn’t escape were crushed by the giant’s fist, they cried bitterly and turned into whitish smoke.
Then, little by little, it permeated the darkness that made up the entire space. Only one or two ghosts are enough for me to deal with them seriously, since there are so many of them.
As long as there is an invincible Lucas giant, it’s easy to trample the ghosts like worms. Although sometimes a few courageous people faced Lucas’ true face and rushed at him.
A sword at most in their hands. Even those who had enough mental strength to not look away in front of Lucas, as individuals, that was their limit.
“Die, worms!”
According to my will, Lucas the giant trampled on the ghosts with madness. Soon, they all became a whitish mist and dispersed into the darkness.
Even though it looks like that, it’s not actually dead. I just lost my will to resist and returned to being a part of myself. The rebellion of the ghosts was easily suppressed, but the work was not over yet.
“Come out.”
The darkness that brought me to this place, and the darkness that prevented me from leaving this place, still lurked in a corner of my mind.
Perhaps the source is the darkness in the cup of the evil spirit. It must have been born with a soul in it. It seems like he tried to parasitize on me because being a hero or a holy sword is a burden.
“You picked the wrong opponent.”
The battle of souls is my specialty. It devours immeasurable souls and possesses its owner. During that time, I’ve never been defeated. Yeah, except for one recent one.
“Fun…Hump…Gu…Me…”
“Don’t hide in a corner, why don’t you come out?”
Until now, I had not moved at all, sitting on the cutting edge. The abomination I just embodied is enough to project my will into the world.
Lucas, dozens of times bigger and dozens of times more grotesque than his original form, obeys my orders. It strode into the darkness, grabbing hold of it and trying to pull it out.
“At least…A little…Two…So…”
And the darkness rose. In an instant, an unpleasant darkness, similar to but different from the one that formed my image, overtook Lucas. The colossal giant floundered like a child and was soon sucked into it.
As expected, isn’t it a level to deal with as a joke? Soon after, the darkness ate Lucas and raised its body. That figure was the same as the Lucas I made a while ago.
“Oh, I like the stomach.”
No matter how much food you have, you should think about stuffing something like that in your mouth. When I laughed at him, his entire body heated up violently, as if a dark giant were showing emotion.
“You…Catch…A…Eat…You…”
The next moment, the giant lunged at me with unbelievable speed. The concept of space in imagery is meaningless. The moment I took a step, he ran right in front of me.
“I…Will…Be…Really…Be…!”
“Slow.”
Ah, I missed the timing to evade because of my lines. Sitting on the highest peak, the dark giant reached out and grabbed me.
The laws of physics and mass don’t mean anything here. The speed of action is the speed of thought. The moment the unpleasant darkness gave me strength, I was shattered.
And I laughed.
“Because it’s slow.”
No matter how humanly I act, no matter how much I desire, no matter how long I miss the past. My essence is a sword
My time as a human was only twenty years, while my time as a sword was over hundreds of years. It was just a faint nostalgia of the past when my human body was in the world of imagination.
My body had never moved before.
I am a demonic sword. It is not a sword to be wielded by someone, but a sword to wield the owner in reverse. All the darkness that made up this space was me.
Until now, the sword stood tall like a tower on which my human body was sitting.
“Yes… Bastard…!”
So I swung myself.
The sword buried in the darkness is pulled out. When it was completely pulled out and held high, the dark giant standing in front of it was so small that it looked like a flying insect.
The blade was black like me in reality, black like the darkness that made up this space, and black like the strange darkness that invaded my mental world.
With a single swing, it destroys all of them.
“That…Ah…Ah…Ah…!”
The dark giant splits in half. Again and again. Soon, the darkness split into hundreds of millions of pieces scattered everywhere. And melted one by one.
The bastard couldn’t even scream. Like the countless specters that have succumbed to me so far, it has shattered and become a part of me.
“Kuu!”
However, the scale of its power is so overwhelming that it cannot be compared to those ghosts. The moment the unfamiliar darkness assimilated and became one with mine, I felt my vessel itself expand.
The dark space expands. Dominance over the soul is strengthened. The ghosts who were driven by the darkness of the cup and showed rebellion will never raise their heads again without my permission.
– Evil Spirit Relic: You have absorbed the cup of darkness.
– Soul Erosion (S-)?? Combined with ??(EX)!
– Some hidden attribute information will be opened.
– ?? ??(EX) ＞ ??(EX) of ?
When I got over the aftermath of the absorption and regained my composure, the power holding me back had already disappeared.
Ugh, it looks like something cataclysmic happened to my condition. Let’s go out and take a look at that. Cream will be waiting for you now.
The spirit soars high. The moment I escaped from unconsciousness and finally regained consciousness and accepted the reality, I fell in love with the exposed landscape.
