111 – As Lenormand Whispers
Roaring!
Then the flame blazed as if satisfied, then shrunk as if compressing the body to become a flame the size of the palm of your hand. It was burning roaring, maintaining its small body, as if it needed no more food, and maintained a constant temperature.
Jinseong put the tip of a stick into the shrunken flame and set it on fire. Then, with the sound of water drying up, the tip of the stick caught fire.
The flame was too small to be called a torch, and it was in the form of a symbol of flame that people imagined to be simply lit, like a staff used by wizards in the past.
He swung it around, then beat it on the floor again in a steady rhythm.
f*ck!
f*ck!
Then a dull sound rang out again. However, as the floor was struck repeatedly, the sound changed, resembling the sound produced by striking a hollow tree.
T-uh!
Tuong!
Weak vibration.
Big buzz.
The sound of simply hitting the floor became the sound of an instrument.
It became a sound that contained primitive excitement, and it affected Iarin’s brain. Gradually, her eyes went out of focus, the thoughts in her head disappeared, and she focused only on the vibrations and sounds she heard.
When Jin-seong confirmed Ah-rin’s blank expression, she brought a mistletoe and an eagle owl that had been floating in the air and pushed them in front of her. He then went behind her and hugged Arin tightly.
The strength of the hug was such that even a trained soldier’s body felt a bit suffocated.
“Uh, huh?”
She was in a daze, and then A-rin, who was suddenly hugged by Jin-seong, was startled.
This Arin reflexively tried to get her out of his arms.
But when she felt the movement of this Arin, Jinseong gave more strength to her arm and said.
“Don’t run away and focus on the eagle owl in front of you.”
“Yes?”
“Hurry.”
At Jinsung’s determined tone, Arin looked at her eagle owl with a bewildered expression.
Her slumbering eagle owl was facing her with her dazed expression, and although she watched it, she could not concentrate properly due to the warmth of another person’s body feeling on her own. .
“Sympathize.”
“What?”
T-uh!
Tuo-!
Jinseong started pounding her on the floor again while hugging Arin in her arms.
Then there was a louder vibration and sound than before.
In addition, he inhaled the smoke of the white powder burned in the flames burning on the Robur oak.
Shortly thereafter, the focus began to disappear from Iarin’s eyes again.
This Arin’s mind was positioned between her consciousness and unconsciousness.
Dazed by repeated sounds and vibrations, and the ‘special effect’ from the remains of the Mushroom Fairy, she began to perceive external stimuli as if she were seeing and hearing them in her sleep. Moreover, as her oxytocin levels escalated with her authenticity and her mushroom powder hugging her, her ability to empathize soared, and the likelihood of her reflexive accusation decreased inversely.
Jinsung whispered in her ear.
“Look. There is a warrior in front of you.”
“Huh…”
With her half-closed eyes, this Arin weakly answered her true voice.
“Look. Up thereMagnificent eyes. Those eyes that can pierce the darkness are like beasts that roam the night, and no enemy will be able to escape their gaze.”
“Yes…”
“Look. Those ears. They don’t miss the sound of small footsteps. Even if you surround yourself with pitch-black darkness, you won’t be able to avoid those ears. As a warrior who protects his family and protects himself, there is no better ear than that.”
“Huh…”
“It’s really nimble because it’s wrapped in wings and hides in the darkness. It’s wrapped in light hair that assimilates to the darkness of night, so you can see the enemy, but you won’t be seen by the enemy. It’s like the color of a tree, so you become one body with the tree. You can wait for the enemy, but there is a sharp thing in your hand, which is a warrior’s weapon that grows with blood.”
Jin-seong whispered to her incessantly.
“When the sun burns and the light illuminates the world, it is revealed. The claws soaked in blood shine in the sunlight, and what used to be like the bark of a tree is an armor made of feathers. This is a model of a warrior, indeed like a wild beast. It is a warrior.”
Jinseong moved her mistletoe and began to wrap it around her eagle owl.
“Young warrior. There is the one you should be like. Look. Look into the eyes of that great warrior. The eyes of that warrior can pierce the darkness and make the night walk like day. Can you do that?”
“Yeah… I can too…”
“Young warrior. Look at those ears. Look at those ears that even hear the sound of stepping on dry leaves. Can you do that?”
“Is it possible…”
Jinseong started attaching her feathers and fish scales to Arin, who answered with her dazed expression. Her raptor feathers clung to Iarin’s neck and shoulders, and fish scales stuck to her fingernails to form. The curved and sharp end was similar to that of a raptor.
“Young warrior. There is a winged robe made from the feathers of a bird of prey. A warrior should have it, so do you have it?”
“No…No, yes…Yes? I have…”
“Young warrior. Look at that shiny blade. Look at that weapon that will rip open the enemy’s stomach and pierce their head. Do you have something like that?”
“Yes… Uh…”
Jinseong whispered in Iarin’s ear.
“Look at the warrior’s bravery.”
With that said, he tore up her blood pack and sprayed it on the eagle owl. Blood with the same blood type as Iarin dyed the eagle owl’s entire body red. Jinseong, without touching the eagle owl’s body, floated the falling drops of blood into the air, making the eagle owl’s body red without a gap.
Its appearance was similar to that of prey caught by a spider and turned into a cocoon.
Jinseong stirred the stick with fire and moved the mistletoe again. Then, the mistletoe in the form of a cocoon began to change its shape little by little. As the mistletoe was twisted repeatedly, the arms and legs were formed, and the lump that appeared to be the head protruded.
Personification.
Projection.
Enhance empathy due to increased levels of oxytocin.
Trance and increased body temperature under the influence of the sun.
EEG in the form of an alpha wave.
The transference of evil, which leaves the symbols of ‘scapegoat’ and ‘first’, the negative symbols of a person suitable for Krom Cruach’s sacrifice, to the eagle owl.
Everything he did spoke.
There is a sacrifice here.
There are people here who will benefit from the offering.
And, by making an offering according to the proper procedure.
It must bear fruit!
Jinseong used a lobur oak tree to throw an idol made of mistletoe into the fire. Then the idol knelt down and raised both hands high to the sky, just as a man does. And even in the midst of his body burning up, he kept his posture upright as if he was worshiping someone, and only when the mistletoe was all burnt up and the smell of meat wafted out, he sat down on the floor.
He stuck the oak tree in his hand into the ashes of the idol, and the stick quickly turned to ashes. Then, along with the ashes of the mistletoe, it rose vertically into the sky and disappeared, leaving only the well-cooked bird meat.
Jinseong lifted the meat, roughly brushed off the buried ash, and took it to Iarin. Arin continued to make a dazed expression, but suddenly came to her senses when the fragrant smell of meat wafted up her nose, and she saw a new piece of meat in front of her eyes.
“Uh, what is this?”
“The ritual is over. Now you can eat this.”
“Uh… Really?”
“But you have to eat all of this meat by yourself. Is that possible?”
At Jinsung’s question, Iarin laughed.
“Can ten of them be enough?”
“Then you’re lucky.”
“Ah, but… Do I have to eat the intestines and bones too?”
“The intestines will have disappeared without a trace, so that’s fine. You should never eat the bones. Eating bird bones can weaken them and become poisonous. And you must eat the eyeballs, and the ears… The risk of eating the cartilage. Just don’t eat it at all.”
“Okay. Just what, you mean to eat only the bones carefully?”
According to homeopathic magic, eating a nimble, light animal was thought to make them equally agile.
He said that eating the eyes of an animal with good eyes would improve your eyesight, and he believed that eating an animal with strong eyes would make you stronger as well.
This was a homoeopathic magic derived from the belief that by eating a being that had special abilities, one could share (Methaxis) the attributes and abilities.
“Ate it all!”
This Arin killed every one of her within minutes.
Seeing this, Jinseong nodded her head and said.
“Let’s go.”

“When are you coming…?”
Sofa in the suite.
A witch with her brown hair down stared at her door, waiting for someone.
