Faith Life of a Former Scammer - Faith Life of a Former Scammer chapter 145
145. Spirit of Madness.
“Is that a spirit? Not a demon?”
Rion, who witnessed the unbelievable scene, asked timidly.
“… … It may be hard to believe, but everything you just saw is true.”
At Leon’s words, the giant mole answered with a serious face.
The situation was more serious than expected.
“You mean this is the current situation?”
Leon pointed at the transparent turtle spirit in front of him. The image of the fallen spirits was reflected in its transparent shell.
Screaming madly, spewing fire for going fast.
In a word, these spirits were running amok.
“That’s right. This child is the Spirit of Observation. What we are currently observing is made visible on the shell.”
“How is this possible? No matter how much the spirit realm collapses, the spirits’ personalities won’t change.”
“Did you see the spirit riding on the whale?”
It sounded like he was referring to the guy who sat like a king on top of a whale.
Unlike his king-like attitude, his appearance was a bit unique.
“You mean a skinny humanoid spirit?”
“you’re right. He is the cause of all this.”
“What kind of spirit is it that such a thing is possible?”
“It is the spirit of madness.”
Then everything started to make sense.
The reason why the spirits looked like they were going crazy was because they were really crazy.
“It is a very special spirit. It was the first time I knew there was a spirit of madness.”
“That kid is a bit complicated.”
The mole started to explain about the spirit in madness.
“The four elemental spirits are born and die naturally, but these special spirits are a little different.”
“Are the special spirits being managed?”
He nodded.
“That’s right. Because special spirits have special powers, the kings managed them from birth to extinction.”
Just looking at the spirit of madness, I could understand why the spirit kings managed it.
“That’s why the kings created only special spirits that wouldn’t harm the world. The children like the Spirit of Record and the Spirit of Observation that you saw earlier were born that way.”
I kind of understood what the system was like.
“Still, the fact that the spirit of madness was born means that it was born after the king disappeared?”
“You knew. you’re right. This child was born under the influence of the Human Empire right after the king disappeared.”
Leon barely held back the sigh that was about to burst out.
‘This fucking continental war!’
At the time the king disappeared, war broke out on the continent, and it was an era of madness and violence.
The spirits of madness were born out of the madness of war.
“At first, I wasn’t a very strong kid. However, as the spirit world collapsed and survival became difficult, his power rapidly increased.”
The spirit world was on its way to destruction, and a life chased by survival would have continued day by day. This was the optimal environment for the spirit of madness.
“From then on, he began to grow his strength and power, and now the hideout without the highest level of spirits has grown so strong that it cannot block their attacks.”
“Except for those hiding in the lair, you can say that all other spirits are under the spirit of madness.”
“Unfortunately, yes.”
Storms rain in the sky, and when they pass, predators come.
It seems like the worst situation, but in Leon’s eyes, this wasn’t a bad situation.
“I fully understand the situation. I think it’s worth a try.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes. I think I can deal with the spirits of storm or madness. I think the real problem is what comes next.”
The vacancy of the king is still there, and the spirit world is still not recovering.
“Are you watching until then?”
However, the highest level spirit was making an expression as if he saw hope in Leon’s words.
‘Well, it seems like it’s impossible for this man to deal with the immediate problem.’
Leon said with a smile.
“Yes. Do not worry. I’ll take care of it for sure. Don’t worry, I’ll think about the problems after that while working.”
“Thank you very much. Is there anything we can do to help? Any support is welcome.”
At his words, Leon’s gaze turned to the turtle. The turtle hid its neck inside its shell as if it sensed something.
“Can I get some help from this friend called the Spirit of Observation?”
“of course.”
It would not be an illusion that the tortoise’s shell trembled.
* * *
Leon took the turtle and moved straight away.
“I will help you!”
“no. are you okay. Trust me and wait.”
“Ugh. Okay! You have to be careful!”
In the meantime, the wind spirit followed for a while, but the guy listened to Leon and went back to the lair.
“Is it just the two of us left?”
“… … yes!”
At Leon’s words, the guy responded in surprise.
This turtle was the key to this plan.
“I need your help. We must not be found out by the fallen spirits.”
“I will continue to observe. I will do my best!”
It wasn’t the spirit of observation for nothing.
He took on a somewhat frightened attitude, a testament to his excellent intuition.
“Do you know what will happen?”
“Hee, hee!”
At Leon’s mischievous words, the boy shuddered. It was to the point where I was worried that I might pass out.
“I want to carry it, but you know it’s difficult, right? We will engage in a chase after chase battle with the fallen spirits.”
“So, what about me?”
The tiny tortoise’s voice trembled.
“So, I’ll arrange a special seat for you. So that you can go comfortably.”
“A special seat? no! it’s okay. It doesn’t matter if I’m uncomfortable!”
“no. are you okay. Do you believe me?”
At the same time as he said that, black smoke erupted from Leon’s body.
“How can you believe this!”
Leaving those words behind, the guy was enveloped in smoke.
gulp!
swallowed
[Hee, hee! What’s this! Save me!]
An expert was brought in to calm the guy who caused the game almost half way.
‘Because it’s a really nice place. it’s Siri Please calm him down.’
[Yes. Service mode is activated.]
[Ehi! Seniors! I’ll go!]
Let Siri and Bixby show up.
[Hey, Spirit?! Did you come to save me!?]
The tortoise was relieved for a moment as soon as he saw the two, but Bixby made a mischievous expression and replied.
[uh? no. Did I get caught too?]
[Yes!? Gee, really!?]
The owner was the spirit.
Of course, Bixby’s antics were quickly quelled.
[Bixby, I’m not kidding.]
[Are there two spirits!?]
Siri replaces Bixby.
[This is the image world of the person you saw earlier. We are the spirits who attend him.]
[ah. be surprised.]
I thought I could leave that to Siri.
‘Hey Siri. Observe and guide them so they don’t run into each other.’
[Yes. All right.]
I had already planned how to attack the spirit realm.
First of all, avoiding the fallen spirits and minimizing contact. Rion was thinking of absorbing the metallurgical cloud.
‘Then, shall we begin.’
Leone flew like a shot to a place where there were no corrupted spirits.
* * *
Leon went as planned.
[The fallen spirits are approaching from the northwest!]
‘The distance?’
[I think it will arrive in about 10 minutes. You must leave.]
‘great. I’ll swallow only these small clouds and move right away! Decide on your next destination!’
[There are nice clouds to the east of your current location!]
Thanks to the Spirit of Observation, finding the Cloud and avoiding the Corrupted Spirit wasn’t too difficult.
The first contributor to this plan was none other than the Spirit of Observation.
[Siri. Can you give me some more cookies from earlier?]
[Anything is possible. How about cookies made with the energy of fire this time?]
[like!]
So, naturally, the turtle’s treatment also went up. The first frightened look has completely disappeared in the past few days.
‘Cloud absorption is over! Tell me your next goal!’
After eating the cloud like that, as I was about to move, the quiet guy opened his mouth.
[Gureuk!]
[master! Energy is saturated! I have to release this and go!]
‘already? Hey Siri, search for nearby hideouts.’
[Yes. Okay. Spirit of Observation. Could you help?]
[As much as you like!]
When he ate the cloud and became saturated, Leon did not just throw away or absorb the energy.
I went to a nearby hideout and gave it to the starving spirits.
‘If you think about the future, you should start preparing now.’
When the spirit realm was rebuilt after resolving the immediate problem, the cooperation of the spirits was essential. Sharing energy was the paving stone for that time.
‘Come to think of it, hasn’t it already been close to ten days?’
[Already! Considering that the clouds disappeared, you absorbed this much in just 10 days!]
Leon didn’t mean it in that sense.
‘Ah, I have something to do.’
[Something to do?]
Of course, it wasn’t where Leon had to go.
‘Bixby. Let’s change seats.’
[Yep! Would you like to come inside?]
‘okay. Don’t rest and absorb the clouds.’
[Yep!]
Leone entered the mental world, and Bixby took control of the body.
If it was a human body, it was impossible to move without rest, but now the body was closer to that of a spirit than a human.
[We will proceed with replacement work!]
‘okay.’
At that moment, Leon felt like being sucked into darkness.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the world of images where I saw a big tree.
“Did you come inside?”
Entering the world of images, the tortoise, now closer to me, asked a question.
“yes. The body will keep moving. Bixby, keep working.”
“All right!”
As Leone leaned over to Bixby, a tortoise interrupted the conversation.
“By the way, didn’t you say you had a job? What’s going on here?”
Leon took out his smartphone from his pocket.
“This is what I do.”
“yes?”
Rion just smiled and turned on her smartphone.

[Charisma Yoon] -I got an improvement plan!
[Charisma Yoon] – Why are you silent?
… … .
[Charisma Yoon] -A real spirit sense?
… … .
[Charisma Yoon] -Isn’t he dead?
The smartphone screen was filled with messages sent by Inspector Yoon.
[Rion] -I checked it now.
[Rion]-I have come to the spirit realm.
As soon as I sent a message, a reply arrived immediately.
[Charisma Yoon] -Do you really feel that way?
[Charisma Yoon] -How!?
[Charisma Yoon] – Wow, I’m a guy. really go there Anything special?
The time I spent with Chasa Yun wasn’t that long, but strangely, I felt that he was worried.
[Rion] -Is the administrative improvement plan okay?
[Charisma Yoon] -Yes. are you okay. The soul on the verge of attaining Buddhahood delivered it well. What did you think of this?
[Rion]-I hope you received it well.
[Rion] – It’s not even a fuss here, but I was worried about that, so I contacted you.
[Charisma Yoon] -Oh. Loyalty isn’t it a joke?
After a little sleep, we moved on to the spirit realm.
[Charisma Yoon] -How is the spirit world?
[Rion] -Will you be surprised if you hear it? in the storm… … To the fallen spirit… … .
When Leon explained the current situation in the spirit realm, a strange reply arrived.
[Charisma Yoon] -Apocalypse?
[Rion] – Yeah? What is it?
[Charisma Yoon]-It’s our language that means the world after destruction. hey The spirit realm is Apocalypse.
As soon as Chasa Yoon showed interest, Leone secretly threw a bait.
[Rion] -It’s not the time to admire! It’s more of a problem after the king disappears and this is dealt with.
[Charisma Yoon] – Why?
[Rion] – No. I want to ask you. There must have been a problem in the spirit world, but how did you stay fine?
There was a different reason for contacting Sgt.
There was information on the other side.
[Charisma Yoon] -Hey, you idiot! I wondered why you contacted me while you were busy!
Officer Yoon immediately grasped Leon’s intentions.
Of course, Rion naturally took off pretentiousness.
[Rion] – Wow. Are you so misunderstanding people’s intentions? Deputy Chief Yoon, I thought like you, but I’m disappointed.
[Charisma Yoon] -Ah, no. It’s a joke. A joke! Run to death for some prank!
[Rion] – Then, give me a tip. Are there any restrictions on what you can’t say?
[Charisma Yoon] -Well, it’s not like that. I don’t know if this can be implemented there.
[Rion] – Anything is fine!
[Charisma Yoon]-We used something called a ‘network’, but what is this… … .
The final piece of the spirit realm reconstruction was delivered through Master Yun.
