Episode 308
“Let’s try to relax my body first.”
Jinhyuk came outside to relieve his aching body from lying on the bed for several days and began to move to warm up in earnest.
Quack!
It started with a lightning massage(?).
Lightning Canyon Center.
Raising your brain energy by being hit by incredibly powerful lightning that falls from there.
Furthermore, it also has the effect of increasing lightning resistance and paralysis resistance, so it was something I did not miss a single day while staying in Lightning Canyon.
It’s dangerous to get hit in battle, but if you get hit in normal times, the only problem is the pain.
“Your brain power has risen somewhat.”
The enormous amount of lightning consumed over several days was soon replaced by brain energy and filled Jinhyeok.
Of course, compared to other energy, it was a premature bleeding, but it was still enough energy to do ‘something’ that Jinhyuk wanted to do now.
“Thunder spirit disease. “There was definitely a need for new soldiers.”
Brain soul disease.
They are soul bottles based on the soul bottles that Jinhyuk has made so far, but Jinhyeok’s soldiers are not soul bottles.
I was thinking of adding a new soldier there.
Soul disease, sexual soul disease, demonic soul disease.
There were a total of three soldiers, but it is true that they alone were not enough to fight the war.
Of course, I could have tried using dragon power or force power, or even sword power, rather than the recently acquired brain power, but-
“There is nothing we can do because there is no corps commander to deal with the soul disease.”
Unfortunately, there was no corps commander to lead the soul soldiers using dragon and mighty power.
“The power is… … Well, if I replace it with Seongi and make a Seonhonbyeong, I can leave it to Hyerin… … “It might be impossible now.”
The same was true for power.
A spirit disease using Taoist power or spiritual energy.
Hyerin was the perfect corps commander to lead them.
However, not only was Hyerin currently not in a normal state, but more than anything, she was still weak.
So there is only one thing left.
“Ken would be fine.”
Although it would be unfair to call him the best lightning wizard, Ken can be said to be the best lightning wizard among those by Jinhyeok’s side.
If he takes over as corps commander, he will definitely be of great help.
Jinhyeok, who had thought about it up to that point, pulled out a tiny bit of brain energy.
Cracking!
A bright yellow brain energy burning wildly in one’s hand.
Perhaps due to the mixing of the brain energy of the Samreisin, blue suddenly appeared in addition to the bright yellow color, but most of it was bright yellow.
“Okay, then let’s make a soul bottle to inject brain energy into.”
When I fell into Yuldo Kingdom.
Since all the soul bottles were handed over to Balkan, Jinhyeok currently has no soul bottles.
There are just a few counterfeit soul bottles that are made up from time to time.
However, although the brain soul bottle we will be making from now on is for research purposes, it will be useful in the future, so we had to make it properly as if we were making a soul bottle.
“Well, there are enough ingredients, so it’ll be okay.”
Jumble-jump-
Since it was a deserted Lightning Canyon, it was not that easy to save a fresh soul that had recently died.
“Wake up.”
Kurrrrr-
Since the souls of the intruders who entered Lightning Canyon still remained, it was not that difficult for Jinhyeok to bring back their souls.
-Huh!
-what? Wasn’t I dead?
-iced coffee… … My body… … .
Soul soldiers who were reborn after receiving Jinhyeok’s spiritual power.
Because they had full memories of their lives, they quickly realized their death.
And now he knelt down towards Jinhyeok, who was his master.
-See you, master.
-See you, master.
Overwhelming spiritual power.
Furthermore, the decision was made because he instinctively knew that it was Jinhyeok’s spiritual power that made up his body.
Not long ago, it was a preordained process for them to become Jinhyuk’s hunting dogs when they came to kill Jinhyuk and his colleague and subordinate Ken.
of course-
-Damn it! How dare you treat me like a hunting dog?
“… … Hmm.”
Irregulars exist everywhere.
The spirit soldier, who seemed to be the leader of the intruders, resisted harshly.
Although he was defeated, he was not killed by Jinhyeok, and since he died within the realm of the puppet, he did not see Jinhyeok’s majesty in person.
Jinhyeok, who was looking at Manyong with amusement, snapped his fingers.
“Okay, I’ve decided.”
-what? What have you decided?
Soul Byeong felt fear as he saw Jinhyeok, who had made his decision with a satisfied smile, approaching him while lightly holding the brain flag crackling in his hand.
Predator and prey.
A frog in front of a snake.

The soul bottle that felt those emotions slowly took a step back.
thud!
“Stop.”
-… … Ugh! what… … body!
Jinhyeok lightly stamped his feet and exuded spiritual power. At every word, his body felt as if it were chained and unable to move.
Unable to hide his embarrassed feelings, he struggled with his head, which was the only thing that could move, on his neck.
-Let go! Let go! Do you know who I am! I am a climber from Nine Star’s Merlin’s ‘Magic Tower’. It’s a hazard!
Due to the oppression that did not go away despite his struggles, he eventually began to sell his background.
But rather than scaring Jinhyeok, it was enough to give him joy.
“… … “It’s fun.”
-… … You don’t know about Merlin?
“No, I know. Nine Stars. Merlin. His real name is Sebastian Halo. And he went missing recently, right?”
-uh… … How do you do that?
A climber named Hazard felt a cold sweat run down his face as he heard Jinhyeok say the real name of Merlin, whom even he did not know, as if it were obvious, and even knew that he was missing.
That time when you break out in a cold sweat that you can never shed because it is a disease of the soul that is already dead.
Jinhyeok suddenly approached and whispered in Hazard’s ear.
“because… … “I ate him.”
-… … !!!
Their idol and the guild master of the guild they belong to.
As a member of Nine Star, he is a monster and superhuman who has surpassed the 600th floor, known as the ‘middle layer’, for several years now.
Hazard’s complexion turned pale upon hearing that he had killed and eaten Merlin.
-thing… … lie.
“There’s no reason for me to lie to you. And the play ends here.”
Pajik!
I was excited by the name Merlin and made a pun for a while, but now it was time to really start making Brain Soul Bottle.
“It would be better to deal with a person who is not loyal first, rather than a person who is very loyal. don’t worry. “If you’re lucky, you’ll succeed right away.”
-… … Wow!!!
The crackling brain energy penetrates into the body made up of Hazard’s spiritual power.
Eventually, the thin brain energy begins to mix and fuse with the entire spiritual power that makes up Hazard’s body.
For humans, electricity flows through the blood vessels of the entire body.
It must also feel like very high voltage electricity flowing through it.
Even as a superhuman, Hazard quickly broke down in unbearable pain.
yet-
-swimming… … Hehehe… … Hehehe. Merlin… … .
Hazzard, whose brain power was damaged not only by his body made of spiritual power, but also by his soul itself, which made up the soul disease, degenerated to the level of intelligence of a child.
Looking at the crackling spiritual power, it is not enough to call it a brain spirit disease, but it is impossible to use it in battle because its intelligence is shattered in the process.
But Jinhyuk didn’t care one bit.
“Is it a failure? Well, it doesn’t matter. I know it, so it won’t happen twice. Come next time.”
-yes… … Yes, yes!
Hazard’s failure will become the foundation for success, and there will never be a case like Hazard again.
Maybe this failure was ‘on purpose’ rather than inevitable, but only Jinhyuk knew that.
“Predation.”
Quad deuk!
After lightly chewing and swallowing the brain-sick Hazard who had lost his senses.
Jinhyeok hummed and began to quickly transform dozens of intruder soul soldiers into brain soul soldiers. * * *
“You’re leaving.”
A few days have passed since Jinhyuk completed the production of Brain Spirit.
After spending time with Tam and contemplating the body.
The moment Jinhyuk became convinced that he had completely regained his original state.
He announced his intention to leave.
“I have to leave.”
“It’s unfortunate, but I’ll support you from behind.”
But Ken could not join the journey.
“I said it was okay.”
“Because I can’t stand it. “How can I dare to accompany you on the path that God walks when I am a hindrance rather than a help to you?”
“… … do whatever you want.”
To be exact, Jinhyuk gave permission, but Ken refused.
She revealed her own shortcomings and revealed that she could not be by his side.
Of course, Jinhyeok had no intention of forcing someone who didn’t want to go.
If you want to go, I will take you.
If you don’t want to go, we won’t take you.
This is because Jinhyuk was the one who guaranteed maximum freedom as long as it did not betray him.
“Puppet, are you staying too?”
“Yeah, well… … I also saw and learned something. “I plan to focus on making dolls.”
Puppet, who was expected to leave with him, also decided to stay at the Temple of the Three Thunder Gods located in Lightning Canyon, which made Ken feel even more regretful.
“You mean brain fog, right?”
“… … It’s a shame, but it is. You might feel like you’re copying… … “I think the compatibility between Noegi’s energy and dolls would be quite good.”
“I would even go so far as to call it copying. “If necessary, I will leave behind a bottle of brain spirit disease, so please study it appropriately.”
“ah! “If you do that, I would be grateful.”
However, I couldn’t take the puppet with me because I was inspired to make a new puppet after watching Brain Soul Disease.
puppet.
He is a strong climber comparable to Ken, no, even stronger.
If he was with us, the journey to the ‘Grave of the Dead Dragon’ would be quite easy, but just like with Ken, Jinhyeok had no intention of forcing it.
“good.”
-Meet the new owner.
“… … I’m looking forward to it. “I will definitely return the favor.”
“Yes, I’m sure you can succeed.”
The Noehonbyeong was made in a snap, just like the Mahonbyeong and Seonghonbyeong that were made earlier.
However, the brain puppet that Puppet creates by borrowing the brain spirit bottle will never be made that easily.
It was clear that mass production would be possible after a lot of trial and error by calculating various parts and producing them.
Nevertheless, Jinhyuk believed in the puppet.
As far as he was concerned, he was the best puppet master and seemed to be quite knowledgeable about making puppets.
‘I lent you a brain spirit bottle, so I’m sure you’ll get good results.’
If you get inspired just by glancing at it from afar, if you keep it close to you and start looking into it, you will definitely get meaningful results.
Jinhyeok smiled faintly, imagining that one day the puppet would advance with an army of brain puppets at the head.
“Then I guess I’ll have to leave soon.”
“… … “I won’t hold you back.”
As Jinhyuk finished talking with the puppet and was preparing to leave for the last time, Ken emphasized once again with a hard look on his face.
I won’t hold you back like this time.
Evidence that he is ashamed of himself not only for not being of much help in this battle, but also for having to receive help from Jinhyeok.
Jinhyeok, who was looking at him with a red face and shame, patted him on the shoulder with a calm expression and said.
“Ken.”
“Yes, Mr. Ghost Face.”
“I created a new soul disease called brain soul disease with the brain power I gained while staying here. “It’s thanks to the characteristics of creation, but it’s entirely thanks to you that I got the brain power.”
“No, it’s not me, it’s just that Gwimyeon and Jinhyuk are outstanding.”
“no. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come to Lightning Valley, and if I had, I wouldn’t have gotten the Brain Energy. So, it’s thanks to you.”
“… … Thank you for your comfort.”
The joining of new soul soldiers.
Ken felt a pang in his heart as he heard Jinhyuk’s words, which attributed the considerable result entirely to him.
But as if that wasn’t enough, Jinhyuk frowned as he pointed at the word ‘comfort’.
“It’s not comfort.”
“yes?”
“The commanders of my soul soldiers are all my soul soldiers. “You know that, right?”
“yes… … Balkan, Tune, Basil, and Ashur Hum. “They are all Jinhyuk’s soul diseases.”
Soul disease, demonic soul disease, sexual soul disease.
Jinhyuk does not have them now, but the corps commanders who lead them, which Balkan will be leading, are all Jinhyeok’s soul soldiers.
Of course, they have strengths and unique characteristics that are different from the general spirit disease, but-
As a result, they are Jinhyeok’s property.
In addition, it was proof that Jinhyuk does not share what is his with ‘others’.
And the evidence is-
“The brain spirit is for you.”
“… … !!!”
“Right now, I don’t have enough brain energy, so I can’t make a lot of them, but if I make them step by step, I will be able to create at least a legion of brain soul soldiers.”
“… … Are you saying you will give me that position? To me who is not mentally ill?”
It’s broken right here and now.
Brain disease.
Because he was saying that he would give the newly created legion of soul soldiers to none other than Ken.
“Yes, the reason I entrusted the Legion to the soul soldiers was because they were always attached to me, but as a result, I don’t trust others. That’s why I entrusted it to soul soldiers who are my property and cannot betray me.”
past.
When Jinhyuk was called ‘Dark Star’.
It was the same as back then.
Jinhyeok, who had no one around him to trust or follow, presented himself as an undead or spirit soldier as the person who would command his army.
That continues to this day.
And Jinhyeok shattered the selection of a spirit soldier, who was like a shackle in the past, as a corps commander.
“Ken. “You are my fifth corps commander.”
“… … !!!”
Fifth Corps Commander.
Balkan.
Tune.
Basil.
Ashur Hum.
Ken eventually fell to his knees in tears at the fact that his name had been placed in the position of fifth corps commander after them.
To be precise, it’s just that my legs have lost their strength.
Jinhyeok, who was looking at that scene, rubbed under his nose and asked again.
“Will you be my corps commander? Ken? “If you don’t accept it like this, I’ll be a bit embarrassed.”
“… … How could I kick the position given to me by the God I follow? must. I will definitely do it. Dear… … .”
“… … “Okay, I wish you wouldn’t say ‘guymen’, but I understand.”
Jinhyeok frowned at the word “gwimen,” which he still wasn’t used to, but finished his speech by lightly tapping Ken on the shoulder, who had accepted his position as corps commander.
“See you upstairs.”
“… … yes! “I’ll catch up with you right away.”
With a face full of determination.
With a tear-stained face.
Ken nodded roughly.
That was the moment when the fifth commander of Jinhyeok’s Soul Soldier Corps was born.
The climb to the Ghost Tower in Lightning Canyon has begun again.
“Run without stopping until the 140th floor.”
“huh.”
“Peck! travel!”
The goal is the 140th floor.
Like Lightning Canyon, it is a place called Forbidden.
It was the tomb of a dead dragon.
