Episode 127
Episode 127: The One Who Laughs (3)
[You have met a powerful high-level mental entity, a powerful being that the human mind cannot reach, a unique being that will soon gain new powers and rise to the level of an abyssal being. The immense power of the one who laughs shakes your soul.]
[Use your mental strength stat to resist this impact. Mental strength test… … failure!]
I shouted and activated magic at both the blueprint and the message window.
“hey! stop! stop!”
[of destruction… … .]
[System: The exclusive attribute ‘Abyss Madness’ is activated. Changes the result of the judgment to success.]
It’s a joke!!!
‘What is this?’
The spark created by the Abyssal Madness trait instantly dispersed my magical power.
Was the magic canceled? Due to the effect of attribute activation? Why now?
“What are you doing? “You son of a bitch!”
A brief gap that occurs before the Abyssal Madness trait activates.
Because of that ambiguous time loss, we couldn’t stop Cheongho’s crazy actions.
[One who is influenced by the influence of a higher mental body becomes its slave. But the madness of the abyss, triggered at the right moment, saved your sanity. With a brief sense of relief, an idea suddenly occurred to you. ‘Ah, maybe I could have looked like that too.’]
Crackle, crackle, crackle.
Wow, murmur… … .
ah.
I ended up tearing it down.
Skin, muscles, and thick skulls were torn off, revealing parts that should not have been exposed.
A lump of shiny gray flesh above Cheongho’s eyebrows.
It is unclear whether that lump of flesh truly contains the wisdom and power of the abyss. But at least it will contain Cheongho’s memories.
“This is it. Shinhwa Kim! This is my gift! Eat this!”
Thick black blood slowly flowed down Cheongho’s face.
It is blood that hardened a long time ago and is now rotting away.
Cheong-ho died long ago.
The thing that is talking to me now, that is, the thing with its head torn off, has long since died and become a corpse.
Should we say that he is just a puppet that follows his master’s orders?
『Hehehehehe… … .』
Yeah, that bastard.
A skeleton covered in a black veil. A bizarre being that continues to make you laugh.
That thing is controlling Cheongho’s body. The guy moved Cheongho again.
“It’s still okay. Shinhwa Kim! Look at this, it’s not too late. “Eat this!”
I needed to take a deep breath to calm my anger for a moment.
“… … I decline. “I have dinner plans.”
[The human mind, the weak human mind, cannot accept the knowledge contained in that book. What about Cheongho? He is no different. His brain has already received great wisdom and great power. But his weak spirit couldn’t handle it. Poor Cheongho.]
And that trashy bastard beyond the message window.
You probably dragged me here because you wanted to show me this scene, right?
And I must have somehow forcibly blocked my magic to create this situation.
“Eat this. Come on, eat this. This is His incarnation and His blood. If you eat this, you will become stronger. Eat this. Come on, you’ve already done something similar to this elsewhere, right? To become stronger, he ate other people’s flesh and destroyed their souls. This is no different from what you have done so far. Now, open your mouth. Eat this flesh, drink this blood! His body will make you stronger, and his mind will make you wiser. Go ahead and eat this! eat! eat! eat! eat! eat!”
This is just a prank using a corpse. Although it is Cheongho’s voice coming out of Cheongho’s mouth, in essence it is no different from just playing with a ventriloquist doll.
『Queu, kekekeut, kekekeut… … .』
I hear a skeleton wearing a pitch-black cloak laughing at me.
How are you? Smile?
“see. I can see the future where we and this universe will reach! I recognize where we came from and where we are going! Dignity is nothing more than a toy invented by chance! We are just beasts! Let’s kill each other, eat each other’s flesh, and insult each other’s souls! We must break away from the shell of our dignity and the illusion of humanity! We have to be who we really are and have the power we are meant to have! I’m already late, but you can still do it. Shinhwa Kim, Shinhwa Kim, Shinhwa Kim. Stupid Kim Shin-hwa! The rejection you feel is nothing more than the hypocrisy you take to clumsily pretend to be human. Eat this! “Eat the piece of meat imbued with the power and knowledge of God!”
No, it’s still annoying.
It doesn’t really matter anymore whether it was actually a corpse or something like that.
[All of this happened because of you, Shinhwa Kim. When you realize that fact, you are overcome with shame, fear, and terrible guilt.]
“Stop it because it’s annoying, you crazy bastard.”
“… … ?”
Cheongho, whose head was open, looked at me for a moment with that bizarre look.
The joy and madness disappeared.
An expression filled only with doubt and incomprehension. It’s even more creepy that he suddenly shows a straight face like that.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t you understand? “Now shut your mouth.”
“refuse? Did you reject it? Is it ultimately a rejection? I’m sorry. “I’m sorry.”
Puddeuddeuk, puddeuk… … .
Cheongho’s body began to decompose at an incredible rate.
Perhaps the camouflage that had been forcibly applied was peeled off and the true appearance was revealed.
Now, Cheongho’s sunken black eyes are rolling back, and his skin has discolored to a disgusting purple.
‘It’s long past time for me to save anything or anything.’
Despite being in such a state, Cheongho continued to talk without stopping.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry… … .”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl … .
“Kukkkkuk, Khhhh … … Hahahahaha!!!』
[The One Who Laughs] burst into empty laughter without any meaning.
Rattling, rattling.

Skeletons of all shapes and sizes pour out from the shadows. The cause and effect that the place was originally an ordinary wall now has no meaning. Distortion of space is a simple thing.
Rattling, creaking, clattering, clattering, clattering, clattering.
Heterogeneous skeletons that resemble humans but are different from humans.
Bones and skulls of mismatched sizes are forcibly connected, forming a bizarre shape.
A huge hand, a huge weapon, and a huge horn made from a tangle of bones. It all pours in at once.
“It was going to be like this in the end, but it was really endless. “It would be easier for both of us if we just closed our mouths and said, ‘Kyeah,’ right?”
Crunch, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.
Hmm, but that’s a bit much. Maybe it’s good?
Hey, it’s annoying to think about it any more.
“Oh, I don’t know. Help me, Living Flame Man!”
[The unique function of the SSS-class accessory ‘Residual Heat of the Bukraksamun’, ‘Trace of Extreme Flame’, is activated.
// Trace of extreme flame: The effect of all flame-type magic increases by 100%.]
[Flame that purifies sin]
[Ibn Ghazi’s Beacon]
[Holy Flame]
[Fire that lights up the darkness]
[Burning Anger]
Grrrrrrrrr!!
Five flames burning in different colors bloom.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagak!!
The darkness is pushed out in a month, and the bones that flocked in are reduced to ash and disappear in one breath.
A unique being, or higher mental body.
Just old ones, lower in rank than the great old beings.
There are various names, but this class is the class to which [The One Who Laughs] belongs.
In the message window a little while ago, it was said that it is a being that will one day reach the abyss, but compared to the being of the abyss, it is a being that is running on its own. It cannot withstand the power of a true abyss being in the slightest.
“Do well, do well.”
It is not that the will or spirit of a living flame has descended. I just took out the magic power I had gathered last time.
Nevertheless, this magical power expands its territory with overwhelming firepower, as if it were the power of the living flame itself.
Grrrrrrrrr!!
“Kaaaaaa!!”
Cheongho, or rather the mental body covering Cheongho’s corpse, instantly retreats with a barrier created by gathering darkness and skulls.
‘If I burn it like this using the power of a living flame… … This place will all burn down and the book itself will escape to another dimension, right? ‘It’s a shame.’
The opponent is a being with foresight. We have the ability to predict this situation.
But why on earth do you retreat so helplessly? What did you do while you were underground? I’m worried. Is there something wrong with his foresight? Maybe even this is part of a bigger plan.
“Stupid Kim Shin-hwa! Eat the flesh of your people, accept my spirit, and become my descendants! “Why don’t you know that it’s the only way for you to survive in this world?”
“What, have you stopped imitating Cheongho now?”
That’s right, he’s a guy who doesn’t really have his own personality. Even if he stops imitating Cheong-ho, in the end he can only say and do things based on Cheong-ho’s personality and personality.
“Stupid sacrificial bastard! This ignorant monkey doesn’t even know his subject and is wielding power that he cannot handle! You do not know what you are dealing with or what you are hoping for! You are under the illusion that the power lent by the Abyss is yours! “I don’t even know what awaits me at the end!”
“Who calls you an idiot? “Don’t you know about hard betting?”
If you’re going to fail no matter what you do, it’s better to borrow up to the maximum limit and go bankrupt.
What on earth are you supposed to do by taking refuge in someone who isn’t even a being of the abyss?
“Only I can save you. Realize that I am the only one who can prevent the future of destruction you will reach!”
“Oh, you really talk a lot. It seems that Cheongho’s body, which has no psychic characteristics or even spiritual talent, is a hindrance? “If we don’t have anything more to show, let’s finish this quickly.”
I waved my hand and added a new direction to the flames expanding in all directions.
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Puhwahahahaha!!
The flames that were spreading in five directions are now rushing toward Cheongho, ravenously devouring the darkness.
Can’t stop it. Each of these flames has the power to forcibly purify, seal the soul, expel evil, destroy supernatural powers, and destroy otherworldly beings.
Covered in darkness, bones, and Cheongho’s corpse, [The One Who Laughs] was cornered and cornered, eventually being pushed to the corner of this cramped room.
A moment when I thought it was really the last time.
[The One Who Laughs] spoke through Cheongho’s mouth.
“okay. You are right. Kim Shin-hwa, what you can do with this human body is so limited.”
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … .
That sickening laugh is heard again.
It is a signal that the power that twists cause and effect and distorts the laws of this world is at work.
The wall behind Cheongho, who was cornered, cracks.
It is completely different from opening a door or opening a closed box. A strange appearance, as if the jaws of an animal were wide open.
The space revealed beyond that is,
“W-Wizard?!”
“Aaaah!!!”
This is the first room where Jang Hyeon-deok and Gu Jin-cheol were waiting.
“A living altar! “What kind of pitiful act of foolishness is this, to leave a top-class spirit medium prepared for the coming of God unattended in my domain?”
Crackle!!
According to the command given in advance, Achilles moves to secure a retreat, but he cannot withstand even a second and falls to pieces.
“Aaaah!!”
Gu Jin-cheol could not accept this situation and burst into madness. He went crazy, tearing off the bandages on his face, then slammed his head against the wall and fainted.
“ah… … .”
Jang Hyeon-deok realized what [The One Who Laughs] was hoping for and what he wanted.
A being closer to a living altar than a human being. There is no fear for him now. He just quietly does what he has to do.
Ssssss… … .
[The One Who Laughs] avoids the flames rushing towards him and begins to seep into the altar prepared for him.
“Hey, I’m warning you-.”
But it doesn’t stop. It’s not something I can intervene and prevent in the first place.
Cheongho’s body spoke as if laughing at me.
“It’s already too late, Kim Shin-hwa. It’s already too late. “This altar that you have prepared and that you cherish will now be mine.”
“No, not that one. It looks like your precognitive abilities are broken, right? “You’ll regret it if you go in there.”
“You foolish sacrifice bastard! “How dare you imitate a prophet in front of anyone!”
At that moment, I see Gu Jin-cheol, who was regretting not listening to me.
But you don’t listen.
Finally, his true appearance was revealed. The sound of animals laughing coming from somewhere. A book made up of fragments of a dying star and an empty void. A person who predicts the future and destroys the human spirit with nothing but truth.
He eventually possessed Jang Hyeon-deok’s body.
