Episode 83
Episode 83: Perspective shift
At that time, there is someone watching Kim Shin-hwa.
The most special room among the rooms on the second floor of the mansion.
Magical power so thick that you can’t breathe.
The aura of death so powerful that it exudes rottenness.
A space where the presence and influence of great old beings remain.
This room is the heart of the [Starving Mansion].
There was no lighting in the room, so it was pitch black.
In such a place, someone’s light resounds.
“Khahahahahaha!”
A strange voice so distorted that it is impossible to tell if it is male, female, old, or young.
And even more bizarre appearance.
It is impossible to determine gender or age.
A cursed body that looked as if rotting pink flesh had been forcibly woven onto a human skeleton.
If you try to find traces of his human days in his creepy appearance… … You may notice that this disgusting being somehow resembles Heo Sang-hyun.
This is the true owner of the [Starving Mansion].
The ‘magic power writhing on the second floor’ that Kim Shin-hwa sensed in advance is Lee Ja’s.
He is the owner of a starving mansion, a corrupted necromancer, a cultist who serves the beings of the Abyss, the illegitimate son of a pile of corpses, and the judge of a dark cult that worships darkness and the void.
He once had a similar name, but it doesn’t mean much anymore.
He and others simply called him He Zhou (虛主).
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” … “It’s simple.”
He moves his grotesquely creaking limbs and strokes the large crystal ball in front of him.
According to Heoju’s will, the crystal ball reflects the situation of the location he wants.
Kim Shin-hwa being thrown out by the [Death Explosion] spell fired by Heo Sang-hyeon.
Next, the spirit golems sent down by Heoju pour out from the stairs connected to the second floor.
Monsters with bizarre appearances. These are special products that are on a different level from those made from stuffed animals.
Clutter, clatter.
A head made of rattling kettles and glass bottles.
A fuselage made sloppily by wrapping bedspreads around it.
Joints that creak and move awkwardly.
A sickle, hammer, and hatchet sticking out instead of limbs.
A bizarrely shaped artificial human that appears to have been created by tying together miscellaneous items moves awkwardly, imitating human movements.
Part of the glass bottle splits, revealing hideous teeth made of shards of glass.
The crystal ball continues to show Kim Shin-hwa, who is cornered, resisting.
[Water Blade]
Shinhwa Kim creates large blades and waves by drawing in rainwater overflowing outside the window.
Kwajangchang!!! Boom, boom, boom!
The miscellaneous bodies of the ghost golems pushed out by the violent water pressure are shattered.
Seeing that, Heo-ju can’t hold back and bursts into laughter again.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” … “You wizard, you’re struggling like a bug.”
It is a body created from the beginning by tying together miscellaneous things.
Although stability and durability are weak, it has greater resilience.
Let’s go, let’s go. Crackling.
The shattered spirit golems weave together miscellaneous items scattered everywhere to form a new body.
In the process, a single command golem may split into two smaller golems, or multiple golems may combine into one large golem.
Of course, all this power and mighty force were not implemented without any cost.
“Ugh… … .”
Kim Shin-hwa’s resistance was more intense than expected, and more magic power than expected was lost at once.
This is the disadvantage of the command golem.
It moves on its own with independent thinking without the need for detailed control, but when necessary, it arbitrarily takes away its owner’s magical power.
Therefore, it is normal to control only a limited number at the same time, but the number of spirit golems that Heoju is moving is already over 30.
This is because Heo Joo has a way to offset the shortcomings of these poor fuel-efficient servants.
Heoju began to move his grotesquely twisted body and pray to the being he served.
“Iä! Iä! char Buh All’en Sugh, Ash! “Van!”
“The great spirit who comes in the darkness, the prisoner imprisoned in the prison of eternity, the leader of suffocation, the ruler of the night, the darkest one even in the heart of the abyss.”
[Prisoner of Eternity], [Leader of Suffocation] or [The One Who Comes from the Darkness]. They are all two names for one being.
“And my father, who gave this lowly servant a great portion of flesh.”
The great abyss responds to Heoju’s plea and grants him new powers.
And a whisper coming from the deepest part of the bottomless pit.
『Bring the dinner offering.』
Today is already the third time.
It’s the same command.
Bring the sacrifice of that dinner, Kim Shin-hwa’s soul.
It was difficult for Heo Ju to hide his surprise at his great father’s command.
‘What value is there in that wizard’s soul?’
Never before has such an enormous amount of magical power been given without any conditions.
Why is it that [The One Who Comes from the Dark], a great ancient being and one of those belonging to the abyss, is bestowing so many blessings in order to catch such a wizard?

However, to Heo Joo, the request of [The One Who Comes from the Dark] is literally a revelation from God.
I put aside the small question that had risen in my mind and bowed my head.
And Heo-ju, who has established her posture, moves her fingers in a familiar way.
Similar to the hand gestures of a puppeteer operating a puppet.
This is a movement to give orders to Heo Sang-hyeon, the best work of the command golems he created.
“My descendant, my descendant, and witness to my exploits… … Fulfill the command given by the great leader of suffocation.”
While Kim Shin-hwa is cornered, Heo Sang-hyun activates the magic of the spirit system again.
[Eerie explosion]
Kwaaaaaaa!
A loud noise that seemed to be someone’s scream rather than an explosion.
It is a magical explosion fueled by the spiritual bodies of several Jibakryeongs.
Shinhwa Kim in the crystal ball was caught in the terrible explosion and had one of her arms blown off.
“Oh dear… … If possible, retrieve it in intact condition.”
Kim Shin-hwa, surrounded by the command golem, will soon meet a gruesome end.
Even if [the one who comes from the dark] takes its soul, its body remains.
Heo Joo twisted his facial muscles in anticipation of what kind of monster he would create using Kim Shin Hwa’s body.
The putrid flesh rolled up and an ugly smile formed on his face.
Then a new message came to his mind.
– I found a psychic.
This is a message sent by the ghosts sent to chase after Jang Hyeon-deok, the driver whom Kim Shin-hwa brought along.
“iced coffee… … “Have you found that psychic?”
A genius psychic with the [Living Altar] trait. A being with surreal abilities that can contain any soul, any power, and any spirit.
For Heo Joo personally, it is more precious material than Kim Shin-hwa.
Even if Kim Shin-hwa is left alone, she will face a gruesome death.
“You can have as much magical power as you want. “If possible, catch it in intact condition.”
Heoju gave some instructions to the command golems on the first floor and manipulated the crystal ball.
The crystal ball that responded to his will now began to reflect the location where Jang Hyeon-deok, not Kim Shin-hwa, was.
* * *
Kwaaaaang! I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!
Jang Hyeon-deok’s call van runs off the road, knocking down undergrowth.
Kwazizik, Kwazizik… … !
The car pushes down the mountainside rather than the road.
The car was shaking as if it was about to overturn at any moment, but Jang Hyeon-deok managed to drive the car exquisitely without slowing down the shaking vehicle.
“Oh, bitter… … “This is really going to pay for repairs, right?”
Jang Hyeon-deok looked in tears and checked the rear-view mirror.
In the rearview mirror, he sees a pack of animals following closely behind him.
Monsters in the shape of wild dogs.
These are corpse golems sent by Heoju.
Kim Shin-hwa said it would be okay, but a new group of corpse golems started chasing Jang Hyeon-deok.
-Kaaaaaaaa!
The corpse golems, who ravenously consumed the magical energy sent by Heoju, displayed surreal strength and jumped towards the car.
Even from the corpse golem’s perspective, the attacks it can attempt against moving cars are monotonous.
However, it is a nightmare situation for Jang Hyeon-deok, who is no different from an ordinary person except for his extraordinary driving ability.
“Oh, this is really too much!”
It’s not even a flat road, it’s a completely unpaved road, and it’s also a downward slope.
Increasing speed in a place like this without any measures is suicidal.
Nevertheless, Jang Hyeon-deok’s hands and feet move quickly.
Clunk, rattle.
Buaaaa!!
Jang Hyeon-deok’s call van speeds up and shakes at absurd moments.
– Wow!
The car almost flipped over, but it was able to avoid the corpse golems’ attack.
Shift once again.
Jang Hyeon-deok was barely able to gain a considerable distance from the group of pursuers.
and… … What he was looking for began to appear up ahead.
Jang Hyeon-deok stretched out his right hand and lifted the object lying on the passenger seat.
This is something Kim Shin-hwa handed over just before departure.
A small lump that looks like stones, wood, metal, etc. have been forcibly tangled together.
Jang Hyeon-deok touched the object for a moment, but could not understand how these objects with different properties were combined.
‘How on earth was this made?’
Although Jang Hyeon-deok did not know, this was an object made from fragments of the mask that Jang Hyeon-deok had previously presented to Kim Shin-hwa.
An item made by mixing a fragment of a mask with several catalysts and the [brainwave stones] of space parasites.
Although they were items that individually had no particular effect, they were combined through Kim Shin-hwa’s magic and gained new power.
Now, specifically, it has the following abilities.
[Resonance Stone (Class A magic tool) – It is a tool with the power to transmit will or magical power to the desired target. It can also be used as a catalyst or evidence for magic or rituals.
Cheonyumtong: The owner can convey his will to the desired target. However, in order to use this ability, you must be able to use psychic aptitude or mental magic.
Resonance of Will: You can share some of your magic power with the designated target. (Currently registered subject: Shinhwa Kim) (Waiting time for re-registration: 1 day)

Jang Hyeon-deok shouted at Gong Myeong-seok.
“Wizard, can you hear me? “I think we’re all there!”
As soon as he finished speaking, mysteriously, Kim Shin-hwa’s voice began to resonate in Jang Hyeon-deok’s head.
– Are we all there, or is it like we’re all there?
Do I still have to nag you like this?
Those words came to the top of Jang Hyeon-deok’s throat, but he swallowed them with difficulty and said something else.
“They’re all here! As the wizard said, 50 meters ahead, there is a large… … “There’s a water bead!”
– good job. Come a little closer. It’s still out of range.
Jang Hyeon-deok looked ahead with an anxious expression.
A large water bead.
The corpse golems and ghosts that Kim Shin-hwa previously swept away with [Muddy Current] are entangled in a water prison made of rainwater and magic power.
– Ah, good. I feel it. If you get too close to that water ball, you too will be swept away, so be careful.
“yes? me too? What should I do!?”
-Just spin around the bead! I need to concentrate, so be quiet!
Kim Shin-hwa’s magical power, who was staying in the [Starving Mansion], is transmitted to Gong Myeong-seok through the butcher’s hook.
And the resonance stone opens a path for magical power to pass through, giving new properties to the prison of turbidity.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The turbid prison begins to swirl violently.
– I needed to refine it a bit in a place where that guy’s eyes couldn’t reach.
Kim Shin-hwa mumbled something that Jang Hyeon-deok couldn’t understand and then spoke to Jang Hyeon-deok.
– Now, I’ll drop the guys who were chasing you. Now go back to your real home.
“Is it over!?”
– Roughly.
Papa pa pa pa pa pa pa!!!
The swirling prison of turbid currents distorted and became violent waves.
“Ugh!”
Jang Hyeon-deok’s scream.
Wow!
I almost got swept away by the waves that came with such force.
The wave that narrowly missed Jang Hyeon-deok’s vehicle swallowed up the corpse golems that were chasing Jang Hyeon-deok… … .
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwagwagyagyagya!
It moves in the direction of [The Starving Mansion] at an incredible speed.
“Ah, even if I had 10 lives, it wouldn’t be enough… … .”
Jang Hyeon-deok sighed as he watched the waves receding.
Wooden Amitabha Buddha… … Tomorrow I have to go to the temple and make an offering… … .
* * *
“what! “What the hell is going on!?”
Heoju, looking at Jang Hyeon-deok’s reflection in the crystal ball, let out a scream of astonishment.
This is ridiculous!
“Kim Shin-hwa, that wizard was clearly… a little while ago.” … !”
Heoju, who created magical power, changed the location reflected in the crystal ball.
The first floor living room of [The Starving Mansion].
This is the exact place where Kim Shin-hwa was fighting.
Kim Shin-hwa is seen lying down with one arm cut off and blood pouring from her entire body.
The fight is over.
Nevertheless, the spirit golems require more magical power.
The dizzying amount of consumption is enough to make you lose consciousness for a moment.
Something is strange. Something is wrong!
What on earth did this wizard do?
At that moment, Heoju caught a strange noise in the reflection of the crystal ball.
“This is… … !?”
