Chapter 238
Episode 238: Raising Jang Hyeon-deok
A week has passed since then.
For the first time in a while, I had some free time, so I was able to teach a new magic class with Jang Hyeon-deok.
“Hyeondeok, how are you? “Can you move?”
“Uh-well? “Is this what this is?”
Tsutsutsutsu-
A thin line of magical power is released from both of Jang Hyeon-deok’s hands.
“okay. That’s it. Just do it some more.”
“uh? eww? Is it like this?”
Crrrrrrr- Crrrrrrrrr-
“No, not that! Concentrate! Jang Hyeon-deok!”
From Jang Hyeon-deok’s fingertips, an enormous amount of magical power flows out indiscriminately, like a loose skein of thread.
No, that’s literally a thread. The magical power released from Jang Hyeon-deok’s hands changes into the shape of tens of thousands of threads and scatters.
“Ahh! Wizard! Why is this like this!? “Aaaah!”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrcancking- churralalak!
The enormous number of threads growing from both hands seemed to dance as if they were creatures with their own will, and then wrapped themselves around Jang Hyeon-deok’s neck and body. Ah, damn it!
“Cluck cluck cluck!”
A terrible laugh can be heard coming from somewhere.
“Oh, my. “Is this really a problem?”
The magical power and negative energy that had been buried low in the basement are shaking all at once, and the impact feels like an earthquake or storm.
“How dare you! How dare you!”
A woman’s voice bursts out of Jang Hyeon-deok’s mouth.
“Red, block it!”
“Kkii!!”
The gigantic red one flapped violently (it only flapped its wings, it didn’t fly) and released an abyss wave that suppressed the ghost’s power.
Crumbling!
That’s the problem!
I was building a technique with the meaning of [control] and [restriction] in all directions, and the waves released by Red and Jang Hyeon-deok – no, it would be correct to call him Heo Ji-hyun now. Anyway, she was tied up.
“Open the door!”
kkiiiiik-
The silver barrier in the corner of the basement opens.
And the high-ranking mental entity trapped inside, [The Laughing One], laughed at me and stretched out his hand.
“Well, look. “What did I say?”
“Noisy! “Take this!”
Crackle!
Heo Ji-hyeon’s spiritual body extracted from Jang Hyeon-deok’s body. Heo Ji-hyeon is eventually sucked into the barrier beckoned by [The One Who Laughs], using the waves summoned by Red.
– no! no! Don’t lock me up again!
Crumbling! Shhh!
Heo Ji-hyeon’s spiritual body was sealed again with a noise that exploded with the force of tearing the eardrums.
“Uh-uh… … .”
Jang Hyeon-deok, who groaned for a moment while standing, eventually lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
“Kwiik!”
Red hurriedly rushes in and embraces Jang Hyeon-deok with his big wings.
Jang Hyeon-deok fell asleep, buried in Red’s fluffy feathers.
“Red, good job.”
Nice, nice. I high-fived Red’s wings – and Cheongho, who was watching the scene, or rather, the [Laughing One] who borrowed the appearance of the dead Cheongho, asked me in an absurd tone.
“Kim Shin-hwa. What on earth are you doing? “Human testing?”
“How can you tell this is a human experiment? “It’s about teaching magic to your students.”
“Magic? Don’t talk nonsense. “That’s not magic, is it?”
“Charyeoksul (借力術) is also magic.”
Charyeoksul, or Shinchasul (神借術).
It is a technique that demonstrates surreal power by borrowing the power of spiritual beings.
“This is absurd sophistry. By that logic, wouldn’t it be better to teach spiritualism?”
That is correct.
Charyeoksul is a secret method that is closer to Taoism than magic, and if you go in a different direction… … It reaches the spiritualism of a medium or shaman.
Either way, it’s a bit far from the magic I use.
“Do you think a kid who can’t even control his own talent can control such demonic power?”
“I admit it went a bit fast, but I can do it.”
“Do you really think so? “The kid’s intelligence and mental power would be far from sufficient for that.”
“hmm… … .”
It’s sad that I can’t refute the statement that Jang Hyun-deok is an idiot.
“I know because I’ve been in that guy’s body before. “He has almost no natural magical power and only has the ability to strengthen the power of the alien beings he accepts.”
[The Laughing One] looked like he was reminiscing about that moment and chuckled.
“Of all the mediums and spirits I’ve possessed, that guy’s body was the best. Do you guys call that a ride? “It provided an unforgettable sense of security and an outrageous sense of pleasure.”
“Noisy. “Can’t you shut up?”
“That level of unbalanced ability cannot be created naturally. “It must have been created by one of the beings of the abyss by manipulating the soul for its own convenience, right?”
It’s frustrating, but it’s the correct answer.

We analyzed Jang Hyeon-deok’s body once again, but Jang Hyeon-deok’s body was truly abnormal.
Magic and other talents that a psychic should have are average or below average, but only the [Living Altar] trait, which accepts spiritual bodies and divine spirits and strengthens their power, is a bizarre status that is greatly developed.
Perhaps the [King in Yellow Clothes] artificially adjusted Jang Hyeon-deok’s abilities.
“You can’t think of something like that as a person. That thing is just a tool in the shape of a human being. Destroys character and puts pins in limbs. And it would be easiest to control it like the spirit golems you command. “There’s no need to waste time doing nonsense like this.”
bang!
I extended my magic power and closed the barrier door.
“I feel like this is the right time to talk arbitrarily.”
Okay.
“Kiiiiii… … .”
Red is holding Jang Hyeon-deok in his arms and doesn’t know what to do.
“No, red. You didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t worry. “Let’s go to the living room first.”
“Kkii-”
* * *
“W-Wizard, my head is spinning.”
Jang Hyeon-deok opened his eyes after a long time.
“Are you awake?”
“Where am I?”
“It’s the living room sofa.”
“This fluffy thing- oh, it’s red. hi?”
“Kkiyi!”
“Hahaha- it tickles! Uh, wizard? But what happened?”
Hmm – I gave up looking for a suitable excuse and just spoke honestly.
“I miscalculated.”
“I didn’t do something wrong?”
“okay.”
I fell down while looking for a shortcut.
The problem with Jang Hyeon-deok not being able to use magic properly is… … . Well, it’s complicated, but the main point can be summarized as the lack of magical power.
‘That’s why I tried to use magic power to supplement my magic power.’
In short, it was a plan to take advantage of someone’s constitution that makes them prone to possession. [Living Altar] strengthens the power of the possessed spirit body.
What if Jang Hyeon-deok could control the soul that entered his body?
You can use this enhanced magical energy entirely for yourself.
‘I thought that if I did well, I could become [Super Psychic Jang Hyeon-deok].’
It was a miscalculation.
Heo Ji-hyun’s spirit body, chosen for practice, was weakened to the point where it seemed almost on the verge of extinction, and the miasma was completely extracted.
Moreover, since he had already been possessed once, there was some consideration that Jang Hyeon-deok’s soul might have formed something similar to an antibody.
nevertheless-
‘Maybe it’s because of Monghyang?’
Jang Hyeon-deok’s [Living Altar] characteristic has become stronger than before. That characteristic not only restored Heo Ji-hyeon’s power at will – but rather strengthened it so that he could exert stronger power than before.
“Wizard, isn’t there something a bit like the protagonist of a web novel?”
Jang Hyeon-deok, who had been whimpering for a while in the giant red’s soft embrace, soon started talking energetic nonsense.
“Status window! Pabababak! Awakening amazing cheat abilities that no one else has! “Isn’t there anything like this?”
“Nothing like that, man.”
Regardless of the status window, Jang Hyeon-deok has already awakened his amazing cheating ability. This is the cheat ability called [Living Altar].
‘Ah, that’s annoying.’
I’m not annoyed because of Jang Hyeon-deok.
Of course, Jang Hyeon-deok cannot be completely excluded from this irritation, but that is a secondary issue.
I am annoyed by the sarcasm of [The One Who Laughs] that I heard earlier. I am annoyed because I have a feeling that the ability in Jang Hyeon-deok’s body is part of some grand plan created by the [King in Yellow Clothes]. [Mountain Predator], who is still snooping around the edge of Paju, that bastard makes me irritated.
And I’m annoyed by that message window bastard, who’s probably Nyarlathotep, watching me, waiting to see what choice I’ll make.
‘[King in Yellow], how on earth did this bastard instill these characteristics?’
Is there any way to pull it out?
“Now that I think about it, it’s not like there’s no way.”
“yes? What do you have? Status window? wow! Status window!?”
“No, not the status window. “Give me your right hand.”
“Ugh, are you going to do that like last time?”
“that’s right. “Give it to me.”
I grabbed Jang Hyeon-deok’s right hand and created a magic circle in all directions.
Giiiiiiing!
“Ugh!? Hey, wizard?!”
Bright yellow eye light began to emanate from the [Carcosa’s Mask] that was covering my face, and Jang Hyeon-deok’s face also began to turn yellow.
[recognize]
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[Recognition] activated for the first time in a while.
It is a magic to understand the weak points of the powers and laws that make up this world.
and-
If I massage those soft and soft parts, I can reorganize the shape of this world with my will.
‘Right now I can only use a very limited and narrow part, but-‘
With [Recognition] activated, I examined Jang Hyeon-deok’s body.
Whoop-
Bright red blood flowing from my eyes. Head throbbing. My head is hot. The brain is so heated that it feels like the brain water is boiling and the brain cells are sizzling.
Jang Hyeon-deok’s body, which he looked into with [Recognition] activated, looked like a huge throne shining with golden light. A golden throne waiting for the king to come and take his seat.
[The King in Yellow Clothes] massaged Jang Hyeon-deok’s soul and made it into that shape.
It is a ‘work of art’ created by a being of much higher rank than me. What kind of magic do I need to cast to get my hands on that work?
‘It would be simple to activate the [Heir of the Corpse Pile] trait and make Jang Hyeon-deok a follower.’
What kind of crazy bastard’s idea is this? Can’t you just go away?
‘Honestly, [The Laughing One] has a point. Jang Hyun-deok is a risk factor. Rather than trying to force it, it would be safer to just activate the sealing technique and trap it in the barrier. Maybe that could be a good choice for Jang Hyeon-deok as well.’
Oh, wait. Is this the fox and the crow’s idea?
‘Well, I think so. Well, I think it would be best to just [absorb] all of Jang Hyeon-deok’s ashes, talent, magic, soul, and blood.’
I never gave you a say! Shut up you nameless guy!
‘Send me to Jang Hyeon-deok’s body! If it were me, I could use Jang Hyeon-deok’s power better!’
Are you the bastard who wants to escape? Stay still, buried at the bottom of consciousness!
‘Just kill me! Why are you living with such a load of baggage and worrying about nothing in the first place? Kill Jang Hyeon-deok just like you killed the other cub! Kill it! Kill it! ‘Kill me!’
Oh, who are you again? Do you know me?
Ignoring the crazy opinions of the crazy people living with me, I directed my magic towards Jang Hyeon-deok’s spirit body.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!
Damn it, it’s impossible for me to change this form right now.
But still.
A little decoration – it’s possible to create a small ripple to ruin his plans.
‘Why are you doing this to Jang Hyeon-deok?’
‘What’s the purpose, anyway?’
‘Hey, it’s a waste of energy! Take it away! ‘I’m extorting you!’
‘Do you think this guy will give you the compensation he deserves?’
‘Just kill me!’
Why are you doing this?
I’m not doing this for Jang Hyeon-deok.
However, I am not doing this for the sake of a huge reward in the future or any benefits that Jang Hyeon-deok will provide.
I’m just annoyed by the situation created by the being of the abyss!
And it’s twisted that you all are against it!
That’s why I’m just doing things that you guys won’t like!
“■■■ ■ ■■ ■■■?”
Jang Hyeon-deok’s voice.
I hear voices, but I don’t have time to understand their meaning.
Wizard, what are you doing?
A voice that only loads late. loading? Oh, it’s loud! Don’t worry about all that and finish it quickly!
[The unique function of the L-class accessory ‘Carcosa’s Mask’, ‘Madman’s Dexterity’, is activated.
// Madman’s Dexterity: You can unlock the artifact’s hidden abilities or attempt modifications to give it other abilities.]
“■■ ■■ ■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■.”
This is my voice. Am I answering Jang Hyeon-deok?
This isn’t how magic is supposed to be used.
Likewise, the meaning of what I said is loaded later.
A strange feeling as if my actions were being watched from a step back from my own body.
Crumbling!
A loud noise and an absurd flash of light that seemed to shake the entire mansion.
There was so much noise that it felt like golden lightning was shooting out from the ground into the sky – ooooooooo!
Ghosts howling in surprise at the magic erupting in all directions.
Heo Sang-hyun looks at me with a white-faced expression.
Easy profit-
You can feel the air that was pushed out due to the magic power released with excessive density rushing back to its rightful place.
“Aaaah-”
Although there was such a huge uproar, the words that came out of Jang Hyeon-deok’s mouth… … .
“W-Wizard, what on earth did you do?”
As always, it was stupid.
“Jang Hyeon-deok, you are so-.”
How can you be so stupid all the time?
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
“Oh, I don’t know, man. Ugh… … . “My head hurts.”
Wow – I was so needlessly angry that I overexerted myself.
