Jigsaw Jigsaw!
In order to break through Aris’ defense, he needed to use the best attack power he could now, and that was the same as saying that he had to use a plasma axe.
Although the power was turned on as late as possible, the strange sound unique to plasma weapons had no choice but to draw Aris’ attention.
“Where!”
No matter how embarrassed I was, a witch was a witch.
As soon as he recognized the surprise, Yooseong gritted his teeth as he looked at the sharp thorns and tentacles that started shooting from all sides.
‘You shouldn’t give it a chance to reorganize. It has to end here.’
As the meteor’s eyes turned golden, several thorny vines sprouted nearby, blocking the approaching tentacles and vines.
The thorny vines created by Meteor were incomparably fewer and weaker than those created by Aris.
However, Yuseong had something that Aris did not have.
‘Private way.’
The basic of martial arts is to produce the maximum effect with the minimum amount of force.
Unlike the ones of Aris, which move randomly without any rules, the meteor’s thorny vines skillfully cut off or block the tentacles and thorns according to the description of the projection method, and as a result, the meteor could reach Aris in an instant. there was.
“dare!”
Attacks that can be parried are parried away, and those that can be parried are parried away, and in case of an unavoidable attack, he ignores the pain with Pain Cutting and rushes forward while receiving it with his body.
Aris’s expression distorted at the sight of the meteor that came a few steps ahead.
No matter how strange things are used, homunculus like this can be killed as easily as killing insects if you set your mind to it.
Nevertheless, the reason why he struggles like this is because his opponent can fight with the determination to kill him, but he keeps his circumstances in his hands so as not to leave scars on his new body.
‘It’s dangerous at this rate.’
In the end, Aris decided to gamble.
right!
The moment he snapped his fingers, everything stopped: the meteor, Aris, vines, tentacles, and the collapsed mansion.
Of course, the flow of time slowed down enough to appear to have stopped, but it did not really stop.
‘It transfers the soul right away.’
This was a very dangerous thing.
If you don’t change the brain, you have to prepare for significant memory loss, and if another soul tries to forcefully enter the body while the existing soul is in place, both suffer severe damage.
Even if you are lucky, both sides will have side effects such as clouding of memory or mental contamination.
However, Aris had a trump card.
‘It’s possible with my eyes.’
The Mystic Eye of Truth that can see and manipulate all energies.
Of course, the target also included the soul.
Aris, believing her own eyes, superimposed her soul on the meteor’s body.
* * *
In order to eliminate the side effects of soul transfer, there is no choice but to extract the existing soul from the body and completely eliminate the backlash.
So what to do when that is not possible?
The most efficient way is to deal a serious blow to the existing soul.
It is not difficult to take possession of the body if the will of the soul is broken and weakened by stimulating trauma or giving psychological shocks one after another, just as the immunity of a body that is exhausted from not properly consuming nutrients is weakened.
‘That’s enough to eat cold porridge. my eyes can see everything It’s enough to find negative memories and terrible memories and remind them a few times.’
However, the moment she faced the spirit of the meteor, Aris almost lost her mind.
“Oops!”
Unidentified information located in the middle of Yooseong’s mental world… … . No, strange things that are more like pollutants than information.
Something unknown, filled with constant hatred and malice towards living beings, which stimulates instinctive fear and disgust just by looking at it.
Even Archwitch Aris, who had gone through all sorts of terrible experiences, couldn’t help but be extremely shocked the moment she encountered it.
“What the hell is this? How is he able to move normally with such things in his head?”
It was empty and twisted here and there as if it wasn’t perfect, but it was something dangerous enough to contaminate and destroy the human spirit.
No matter how disciplined a knight may be, if he keeps this in his head, he will become a madman within a few days.
Aris, who was seriously thinking about whether she should really occupy this body, sighed as she realized that she had no choice but to start swimming in the mental world.
And it wasn’t long before I found something even weirder.
“Why is it so desolate?”
Usually, the human mental world is colored with various colors.
The mind of an ordinary man is multicolored, a joyful man a bright color, and an unhappy man a dark one.
However, most of Yooseong’s mental world was composed of achromatic colors.
Most of the colors that I managed to find after wandering around for a long time were too faint to stimulate them.
‘I don’t have much time left… … .’
Aris, who was flying around, found something and opened her eyes narrowly.
In the deepest part of the mental world, among the various defense mechanisms, an unknown memory was cleverly hidden.
Although I didn’t know what the memory was, I was certain that it was the brightest and darkest color I had ever seen.
“This is it.”
There are no other options in the first place.
Aris began to channel those gloomy memories towards the soul of the meteor using the Mystic Eye of Truth.
“Where the hell is this?”
Upright and gigantic buildings, numerous steel carts moving by themselves, and people wearing clothes that I have never seen before, carrying something shiny.
Everything was unfamiliar and embarrassing, but that’s not the point.
Aris shook her head to get rid of her thoughts, looked around and finally found the owner of this memory.
People with gloomy faces are following the huge coffin, and a boy walking in front of it holding a picture of a human face.
The boy holding that picture is the owner of the soul that is now moving the body of the homunculus.
“Is it your parents’ funeral?”
I didn’t know anything about this world, but judging from the atmosphere, I could tell that it was a kind of funeral.
However, because of that, Aris couldn’t help but feel strange.
“… … Why aren’t you sad?”
Despite the funeral of his parents, he did not feel any negative emotions from the boy.
It was the same even when I looked at it with the evil eye of truth.
No joy, no sadness, no peace, no pain, no feeling, a complete emptiness.
The emptiness gave me goosebumps for a moment.
‘How could this be? Are you unable to feel emotions? I’m sure you felt some kind of strong emotion when you saw that there was a color?’
At that moment, I felt a small emotion.
However, it was completely different from what Aris expected.
‘anger?’
The object of the boy’s anger was himself.
Anger at oneself who does not feel any special emotions even in the situation where parents are dead and a funeral is being held.
The problem was the level of that anger.
A very weak level of anger that is far from being enough to inflict psychological damage.
It is unthinkable that such a blow to the soul would occur.
Embarrassed, Aris hurriedly escaped and searched the mental world, but couldn’t find the memories she was looking for anywhere.
‘Can this be called a human?’
Only then did Aris realize why Meteor remained intact even after putting something terrible into his head.
I don’t agree with anything.
don’t understand anything
You may pretend to be happy, angry, sad, or embarrassed on the outside, but that’s just acting like that.
Defective products lacking something that is not equipped with something that a human being should naturally live for just because it is alive.
As far as Aris knew, there was only one title that could be used to call a human being who was not human.
“monster.”

Kwajik!
The plasma ax turned the brain clinging to Alice’s head into mush.
perfect victory.
However, Yoosung had no choice but to put on a puzzled expression.
‘What was it?’
Yoosung scratched his head, recalling the fearful expression Aris showed at the last moment, who had only had a sinister or angry expression, and the lips that moved as if he was about to say something.
I was worried about what he was looking at to make that expression and what he was trying to say.
“Are you trying to leave a curse?”
Yooseong, who was in trouble, barely came to his senses after seeing the message window floating in front of his eyes.
[You have cleared the quest ‘The Girl Who Wanted to Be Saved’.]
[Analyzing the clearing process, please wait.]
[259.9% destiny change rate, 80.4% 2D skill usage rate, 94% 2D artifact usage rate.]
[Final evaluation S rank.]
[Amazing! Although the girl’s salvation is unconfirmed, Han Yoo-seong has overcome the overwhelming power gap and accomplished an incredible feat of defeating the great witch who might have endangered the world! We buy that ball high and give you a reward.]
[Clear Reward: 10,000,000 Karma, Evil Eye of Truth (A+), Thorn Vine (C).]
[Additional reward for clearing S rank: 5,000,000 Karma.]
[After a while, it starts returning to the original world.]
Contrary to the thought that he would receive a miserable rank by using a lot of skills and items, he achieved an S rank clear by achieving a high fate change rate higher than the skill and artifact usage rate he had raised.
The reward was also splendid.
I didn’t receive the item, but I got a whopping 15 million karma, a perfect magic eye of truth, and a more powerful thorny vine skill.
satisfactory results.
However, Yooseong couldn’t help but panic.
“No, so what will happen to Aris? The soul has been plucked out of the body! If I go, shouldn’t Aris stay that way? The goal is to save the girl, but you couldn’t! Are you counting it as salvation because you survived even like this?”
Yooseong, who searched Alice’s corpse and found the golden jewel, couldn’t help but be terrified.
He knew that this was Aris’ soul, but he couldn’t figure out how to return it to his body.
‘It seems to be doing it with the demonic eye of truth, but if you roughly grasp the flow of energy and try it… … . No, I don’t know if this counts as a living state, but if you try something you don’t know much about and fail, it’s a hassle. You don’t know what will happen if the quest ends and the client dies.’
“aaa! I’ll turn around, really!”
The moment he reached the extreme point of thinking about eating jewels like eating candy, a new message popped up in front of Yoosung’s eyes.
[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program.]
[Ariadne’s thread tracking completed.]
[Spirit moves.]
“for a moment! hang on!”
Pod!
As always, the message did its job in silence.
