I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 19



Only Noblemtl

#19 The complicated world is complicated here too (1)

The journey was extremely boring.

Ride a horse and chat.

After a short rest, we ride a horse.

Eat and ride a horse.

I just rode horses all the time.

Even I thought I was going to break my butt because I was riding the horse wrong.

We had been running like that for a whole day and were now digging the ground.

“Sir, try writing it here first.”

“Ahem. It’s finally time to show it.”

Inspiration Clocelle stepped forward with both arms crossed.

“You shouldn’t blow it all away, you should just dig up the ground!”

“Don’t worry.”

The surrounding energies moved according to the gestures of Closel’s hand.

The more I looked at magic, the more amazing it seemed.

It was amazing that mana could move, and the results were even more amazing.

“Dig!”

The ground caved in.

The problem is that it was too radical.

Because even the stones in the dug up ground were broken.

“No, I told you to take it easy, sir… Is there really a reason to kill someone twice…”

Paramon responded to my words with a cold, scolding tone.

“Roselle, you’re a so-called great wizard, but you can’t control that?”

“Be quiet. Didn’t you break the ground?”

“Next, Irene! Dig here next to me.”

Did you say you could sell land with spirits?

It was a very anticipated sequence.

“Gnome!”

A spirit appeared at Irene’s call.

At the same time, a strong smell of earth tickled my nose.

“oh….”

It was a rich shape.

It looked like either an old man or a child, and was only about the size of my shin.

It’s like a soul, but it feels a little different.

Should I call it a living soul···?

If the earth were alive, this is what it would feel like.

“…..?”

Why are you looking at me like that?

Clear and transparent eyes.

Thick eyebrows and lips that look quite stubborn.

It’s a very good view.

But is the appearance of spirits the same as that of humans?

A gnome walked by and looked at me with interest.

The gnome, who had been circling around me as if he wanted to check something, stopped in front of the bell on his waist.

“why?”

The gnome looked at my face and then at the bell, then nodded his head toward me.

“Huh?”

“No…gnome?”

The exclamations of inspiration and Irene’s embarrassed voice were heard.

What a very polite spirit.

And he even greets people nicely.

“What a kind child.”

“…yes?”

The gnome kept staring at me.

Those eyes even seemed quite friendly.

“Chris, have you ever made a pact with a spirit?”

“no?”

This is the first time I’ve seen a spirit, other than the last time Irene used one.

Even back then, I could only feel it from afar, so this is my first time seeing it properly.

“The spirits are so friendly…”

The gnome shook his body, pointing at the bell.

The appearance seemed to mimic my appearance the last time I did the ritual.

“You saw me do good? Irene, were you spying on my house?”

“I was just following the sway of the branches.”

The excuse you gave was that the branches were shaking.

I turned my head to the gnome, my mouth watering at the sight of Irene.

“I see you were playing too. Want to dig some dirt over there?”

“Chris, the spirit only listens to the contractor’s requests…”

Irene stopped speaking in shock.

The gnome nodded and began to dig the ground.

“…Gnome?!”

“Right. Good job. Go a little slower.”

It was a mystical sight.

The dirt was cracking apart as the gnome pretended to dig.

The ground was dug up without destroying anything.

“Just a little more! Over there!”

There I finally found what I was looking for.

“Hey, seniors!”

“Are you talking about us?”

“Except for the inspirations.”

“There must be a spirit nearby again. I can’t see it…”

There were spirits that had been following us since a while ago.

These are the souls that persistently follow you around after making eye contact for no reason.

It seemed like something was wrong with something that wasn’t even a ghost.

Four souls.

One of them, well-armored, appeared to be a knight, the rest were soldiers.

The one thing they all have in common is that they all have hideous back injuries.

“Is this suitable for seniors?”

As the ground was dug, more and more bones were revealed.

Although I couldn’t find the complete shape because it had been erased and disappeared.

I’m guessing that these elders also participated in the Continental War.

There was a battle even in the mountains like this…

“I will bury you well again, so please quickly attain Buddhahood.”

I lifted the rusted armor off the remains and raised my head while collecting the bone fragments.

“Aren’t you going?”

– …..

Even though they found the bodies they had before they died, the souls’ response was lukewarm.

Isn’t this why I’m so upset…?

“Aren’t you looking for a body?”

At my words, the spirit of the knight pointed to the ground once again.

“Hmm? Gnome! Can you help me?”

“Chris… why do you keep using other people’s spirits…”

Regardless of Irene’s reaction, Gnome dutifully listened to my request.

I felt that he, too, was a spirit and felt affinity towards me.

Swish –

Swish –

As the ground was being dug up more and more, those who watched could only sigh.

In particular, the sigh that came out of Pharaoh’s mouth was one that came from the depths of his heart.

“Uh…”

“A child…is that…”

The skeletons were in a prone position, as if four people were surrounding one another.

And underneath it, the remains of a small child were found.

They sacrificed their lives to protect it, but in the end, it seems they all died together.

“… It looks like the elders have found this child.”

The spirits nodded.

Now that I see them looking relieved, I think this child was their burden.

“This child has already attained Buddhahood. I’m sure the elders know that, right?”

There was no answer.

They simply approached quietly and reached out to the untouched remains of the child.

They continued to caress the child as if they had no regard for their own bodies.

It was a careful touch.

“The elders’ sorrow…”

Even though he is a shaman, he cannot know the inner thoughts of all spirits.

Just feel their emotions and let them out.

They were feeling sorry.

He felt sorry for not being able to protect the child.

I felt sorry for the child who was buried in the mountains like this.

They didn’t follow me to ask me to collect their bodies.

I just wanted to move this child to a warmer place.

A hand slipped between the hands of the souls.

It was the hand of inspiration from Paramon.

“The armor is damaged so I’m not sure, but judging by the pattern, it’s the knights I fought with.”

Elder Paramon, who had been silent as if he was thinking deeply while looking at the remains, opened his mouth.

“Are their spirits still here?”

“Yes. It overlaps with your hand.”

“I see.”

Pharamon, who had caught his breath, rose to his feet.

The gaze, filled with countless emotions, did not leave the remains.

“My name is Paramon, and I fought alongside you. You probably don’t know me.”

After a moment’s pause, Elder Paramon straightened his posture.

A pious voice flowed from the hardened face.

“Knights and soldiers whose names are unknown.”

Paramon’s eyes did not blink at all.

It was firmly fixed as if their appearance was engraved on it.

“Shields and swords of unknown names…”

The heavy mouth opened once again.

“We will remember your sacrifice.”

The moment Paramon’s inspiration ended, bright smiles appeared on the souls’ lips.

A feeling of pride came over me.

At the same time, a sense of relief also came.

“ha…”

For them, it would have been the highest compliment they could receive after death.

The soul gradually faded away.

They disappeared like that, leaving behind bright smiles as if they had no more regrets.

It was enlightenment.

“Now you have gone your separate ways.”

“Uh…”

Clocell and Irene were also looking at this place with a serious atmosphere.

“The people of the Continental War were all great people.”

At my words, Pharamon smiled as if he had been praised.

“That’s right. Did they rest in peace?”

It is unknown where the souls went.

But the feeling of relief I felt upon attaining Buddhahood told me that the destination would not be bad.

And then···.

“They are the ones who protected the child even after their deaths. It would be strange if they were not at peace.”

The child has already left, so why are you guarding this place?

It’s not even your own body, it’s someone else’s body.

“Tsk tsk… how can you be so foolish.”

They were all equally foolish souls.

The souls I just met and the souls who were by Paramon’s side were extremely foolish.

How is it that all the things I have are for others?

“There’s a lot to do…”

The spirit has deepened even further.

No matter how hard I tried to stack it, it wouldn’t stack.

It seemed as if the anger was being released and flowing into me.

“Gentlemen. How do wizards and knights accumulate mana?”

“There is a separate training method for accumulating mana.”

“Meditation is the best.”

I’m so jealous. I’m so jealous.

If you just practice, your mana will accumulate.

“Let’s move again. It seems like there are more than just here.”

“I guess so.”

Irene’s opinion was also important.

Because the destination of this journey was the World Tree.

“Hmm…”

Irene, who had been looking at the trees for a moment, nodded willingly.

“You can’t stop the wind.”

Did you just feel the souls attaining Buddhahood?

Spirits were seen here and there.

I also saw some ghosts running away.

Those evil spirits run away like that whenever they see someone attain Buddhahood.

Because they are crazy about venting their grudges.

Most of them are dirty reasons, such as anger, lust, and greed.

I feel like there are more seconds left to turn on.

“We have to send away everyone who can go.”
