103 – Independence Is Coming
As the sorcery progressed, the devil’s doubts grew stronger.
[Looking at the altar built right under the ferris wheel, it looks like a Greek burnt offering…]
“That, Greek…?”
[It is called Holocautain (ὁλοκαυτεῖν). However, it seems that he asked for a young goat or that he did not pay attention to the color of the goat’s fur, so he may have mixed something up… It seems to have been transformed. ]
The devil tilted his head at the consciousness of the true nature, which was subtly different from what he knew.
But this was unavoidable.
Originally, witchcraft is something that can be derived and changed.
Just as Japanese Kokkuri-san sorcery came over to Korea and the rules changed and transformed into necromancy, rituals can also be transformed in people’s memories and records or reversed over time. Was
The sorcery used by Jinseong has also changed.
The magic used in ancient Greece crossed over to other regions, and it changed as it adapted to the local environment and customs. In addition, most of them do not work properly when they are transformed like this, but with the power of chance and a skilled shaman, they were able to exert an effect.
Perhaps this could be seen as a subspecies of holocautain.
And just like the subspecies of life, the subspecies of sorcery are also very different.
Just as animals in cold regions change their coat color to white for protection, grow in size, and fill their body with fat instead of muscle, sorcery also changes little by little. Some produce similar effects but at a completely different price, while others have completely different effects.
It shows a completely different look, as if a fish came up to the ground and became an animal.
In some cases, a subspecies could eat the original and gain greater recognition.
[By the way, if it’s Greek… Hmm. ]
The devil licked his lips.
A suspicion came to my mind, but I thought about making my brother do that, so I immediately dropped it.
“Go, ancient Greek, Greece?”
However, after hearing the devil’s self-talk, this Serene blushed as if he remembered something.
“Gee, gymnos…”
She recalled what she had heard in a lecture titled ‘History and Life in Ancient Europe’.
The ancient Greek culture encouraged exercise in the nude and spared no effort to expose one’s body.
In the lecture, they explained their culture in detail, citing numerous paintings and statues as examples.
It contains more shocking and more explicit content than s*x education that is routinely taught in schools. Of course, there was a protest call from the parents, but the teacher raised the level more as if showing off the protest call and conducted a class of shock and fear.
At that time, Se-Rin Lee had no choice but to understand about ancient Greece.
“Stand, no way. Should I do the ceremony naked, or…?”
This Se-Rin glanced at Jin-Sung, who blushed and sprayed some unknown liquid on her ferris wheel.
But her demon by her side looked at her as if to reassure her and spoke her words.
[Probably not. ]
“Yes?”
This Serene jerked her head towards her demon and asked back.
Then the devil took one look at her cute Serene and opened her mouth.
[Originally, holocoutein is something that is done in the dark of the night. Tribute thereIt is also to use something similar to the color of the night so as not to be noticed. But on the contrary, nakedness is for show off. That is to say, it is close to virtue, that is, contrary to the nature of consciousness. Contractor, contractor My contractor, you don’t know what he’s thinking. You may wrap yourself up tighter, but you probably won’t be naked. ]
“And, showing off…”
[In ancient Greece, being naked was civilization, comfortable freedom, and revealing one’s charm. Of course, in order for it to be attractive, it must have a mathematically perfect body, but even if it was not, a well-trained body was beautiful and valuable in itself. Also, the barbarian naked body they despise was uncivilized and barbaric, but it was also to show off their bravery to the enemy. ]
Said the devil, gently scratching the ground with his hoof.
[I wouldn’t deviate much from this, at least if it was derived from ancient Greece. That is, there is no need to worry. ]
The demon finished his preparations and licked his tongue as he watched Jinseong approaching them.
Jin-seong approached Se-rin without hesitation and he said expressionlessly.
“The preparations are complete. You must go first.”
“Me, from me…”
“You just need to come.”
Lee Se-rin followed Jin-sung’s words and looked at Lee Ar-rin, who was sitting in a suitable place with a sleeping bag spread like a mat. This Arin raised her hand and shook her hand as she met her own twin brother’s eyes.
It meant good luck.
At the same time, she also meant to look good.
Seeing off her blood mate, Serene somehow felt her pressure and tension ease.
“Hey, hey.”
But the tension disappeared for a while.
As she approached her altar, her tension rose as if it would pierce the sky instead of descending.
“This, this. This…”
The first thing that greeted her was the smell of her blood stinging her nose.
As if only the essence of her blood had been collected and sprinkled all over her, it was full of a fishy smell that passed through her nostrils and penetrated directly into her brain. It was so strong that it seemed to linger not only in her nose, but also on her tongue and throat.
And the altar greeted her next.
The birch firewood was made low, unlike normal altars. It’s not even the height of a person’s waist, so low that at first glance you might mistake it for a low bench. Besides, even though it hadn’t rained, the surface was moist, as if her eyes, which she had saved, had been rubbed with her firewood.
In the center of her altar was the goat that had been pissing on her, but when she woke up, she looked around her with her eyes wide open.
Strangely, unlike before, when it made all sorts of fuss in search of freedom, the goat stood idly, as if its feet were glued to the ground.
Despite the strong smell of blood all around.
Jin-seong put her goat in front of her and closed her eyes for a moment, then took out a small bell from her bosom. As soon as the droplet was taken out, it inflated her body as if breathing in fresh air, and Jinseong tapped the droplet that grew like a balloon with her little fingernail.
De-eng.
Then, with a sound like a bell ringing, a vibration resonated, and the noises made by insects and animals around the amusement park suddenly stopped.
And as if swimming in silence, something flew to Jinseong without a sound.
Its eyes were shining bright like flames, and its outstretched wings were so great that they seemed as long as a man. Even in a dark place, the sharp claws gently catch the light and reveal their spirit.It reminded me of a hook that snatches people.
[It’s an eagle owl. ]
From noble mtl dot com
The owl inflated its body while looking straight at Jinseong as if asking if you had called me.
Jinseong laughed at the owl’s behavior and snapped his fingers.
Ta-evil!
Then, with a sound that broke the silence, the eagle owl raised its head in surprise and lowered it again. As if he had fallen asleep, he shook his head and lowered his head, and his round eyes became half-open.
Before long, the eagle owl slammed his head on the ground as if he were falling over.
Jinseong approached the sleeping eagle owl and smelled its scent.
“Excellent.”
Jinseong muttered that, then he floated the eagle owl into the air and brought it to the front of the altar.
He even lit a fire in his hand.
“Boo, fire?”
[It’s not fire magic, it’s Samadhi evolution. Her. You use that at that age? ]
Jinseong set fire to the goat using Sammae Evolution. Then the flame emitted a bright light and swallowed the goat, but the goat, which should have felt the pain of being burned alive, felt no pain or any threat to life, and wandered around in the fire as before. I was just watching.
This was possible because Jinseong wanted to burn only immaterial matter.
However, fire can exist only when something is burned.
This is because fire cannot exist by itself in this world, and it takes its form by burning something.
The fire that burns immaterial things must also be made of immaterial firewood.
And the firewood was scattered here.
With daughter!
The small bell in Jinseong’s hand rang softly this time.
It’s a gloomy sound that doesn’t vibrate the body, but rather tempts the soul.
Then, the evil spirits caught in the barrier all turned their heads toward the bell.
“With so many ingredients, it’s a really good thing.”
Jinseong released the barrier so that the evil spirit could run towards the flame.
However, not all of the barriers were resolved.
Also, the evil spirit of the prison guard under the truck was not released.
This isn’t because it’s unnecessary for magic, it’s for future guests.
‘Give gifts, build relationships. It’s all good.’
Jinseong laughed.
