I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 29

#29 The World Tree Shakes Its Branches (4)

The whole world was a blur.

Only the large tree and the shape beneath it were clearly visible.

“….Is this a dream again?”

If it weren’t a dream, there would be no way that the dark thing in the shape of an elf would be in front of me…

Even though it was a dream, my mind was clear.

“That little bastard, who is neither a ghost nor a demon, keeps imitating ghosts.”

The guy was laughing his ass off.

He is the guy who taunted me with all sorts of illusions even at the moment when his true identity was revealed to me.

His temperament was extremely vicious.

“Nightmares mean nothing to me.”

The bastard’s mouth opened wide, revealing black teeth.

Even the eyes directed at me were yellow.

“관상한번 지독한 새끼네.”

It was like an animal worrying about how to eat its prey.

Among the new gods, I am the best. How can I not be greedy and envious?

When I saw you in my dream, it seemed like you had come to mock me again.

As expected, the bastard’s nonsense began.

– …..

There was no sound, but I could hear laughter in my ears.

It was the madness of a madman.

The laughter, full of madness, echoed as the creature began to move.

“Huh, how did you know that?”

There is a ghost that people often talk about.

A laughing ghost.

A dancing ghost.

These two are the scariest.

That guy was doing both of those things right now.

“her…”

It looked like I was doing well.

The guy was following my lead as if he knew what I was going to do next.

Shaking a non-existent bell.

I was so shocked I couldn’t even speak.

“A kid who is not even as smart as our family is imitating a shaman?”

It seems like all the bad traits of a demon have been hammered into it.

This is what evil people do when they follow shamans around.

Could this be a ‘teasing’ that shamans who fail to cast out evil spirits are subjected to?

“It’s not that I couldn’t kick you out…”

Now that I think about it, am I right in not being able to do it?

Because my body was weak, I collapsed.

I think I need to work out as soon as this is over.

“A guy who doesn’t have a home and lives off of other people’s houses…”

The guy continued dancing, paying no attention to what I said.

It’s time to wake up.

***

“What a dirty dream…”

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

Next to him I saw my group.

Clocelle looked over my body, checking something.

“They say you were a hunter, but you’re weak.”

Paramon’s inspiration was on the side.

“Didn’t I tell you to learn swordsmanship? Are you going to end up like this every time?”

“The shaman must wave the bell and fan… What kind of sword is that?”

Hans collapsed to the floor.

“The divine power is already at its lowest.”

I guess everyone gathered here because they were worried about me.

“How long has it been since I collapsed?”

“A day has passed.”

“Hmm….”

More time has passed than I thought.

A day’s time would be enough time for the bastard to hide again.

Since they must have felt the spirit’s aura, they must have hidden deeper this time···.

“Should I do a Heojugut…”

I have also done Heoju Gut.

It is a required course before receiving a ritual.

Somehow, not only was the spirit not able to come to me, but the evil spirit was also not able to come to me.

Could it be that the gods of this side have been around since then···?

While I was having sleepy thoughts, Pharaoh Paramon opened his mouth again.

“I caught the devil just as you said.”

“….yes?”

I forgot about it because it happened right before I passed out.

I clearly asked you to take my hand.

But is it possible to catch a demon alive?

“As I was passing through the Elf Forest, I saw one wandering around. I broke all its legs and dragged it here.”

“….your legs?”

“I’ve magically bound you so you can’t move now.”

I briefly forgot what kind of people the old men I used to hang out with were.

Sword Master and Archmage.

And the disciples of the great spirit master and the priests of equal rank.

It’s a combination that wouldn’t be strange if you were playing marbles with a magic wand.

If you look closely, I’m the weakest.

“But why did you tell me to catch the demon?”

“I plan to use it as bait to draw him out.”

“Using the devil as bait?”

It’s a complicated concept to explain.

In fact, this is closer to a method that makes you angry rather than a good one.

It’s a shame to even use the word ‘good’ for such a shameful thing.

“First, let’s check the status of the demon.”

“I just woke up. Are you okay?”

“If you delay any longer, you might not be able to find it.”

He even visited me in my dreams, so I guess he’s confident.

He is as sinister as his appearance, so you never know what he might do.

Since the World Tree’s body is used as a vessel, the elves may be in danger.

“Where are you?”

As I followed the inspirations outside, I could not help but gape at the sight of the possessed demon.

It was my first time seeing a demon, but the state of it was strange.

“Inspirations…? Why is it like this…?”

First of all, its body was huge.

About three times the size of my body.

Should I say that it looks like a dirty leopard?

The demon’s body was crushed in several places.

It also looked like it had been carved with something.

And I was almost on the verge of death.

It looked like he was barely holding his breath.

Paramon opened his mouth with an awkward expression.

“I did some sculpting… When I saw the demon’s hand, I was reminded of my old comrades…”

“Do you usually carve with a mallet…?”

“They’re still cheap.”

Well, after all, Pharamon has a lot piled up under the devil…

When I looked at the demon’s body, I noticed that its temperament was as peculiar as its blackness.

It had a soul, but it was of extremely low quality.

And all instincts were corrupted.

“There are all kinds of guys…”

I should have known when the name had ‘Mazza’ in it.

“Why is the leather here peeled off?”

The demon’s body had its skin cut off in several places.

And in the middle of the ship there was a dagger stuck in it.

“The hide of the demon is quite tough. It can even stop the spear of a skilled soldier.”

“hmm…?”

“I took them off for you to use when you need to stab someone. There’s one here on your neck and one on your leg. This is where your heart is.”

“…yes?”

Actually, I had to stab him with a knife.

But before I could even say anything, you skinned me like this…

First of all, it is true that you did a good job as I expected, even though I didn’t say anything.

“We need to move this to the front of the World Tree.”

Clocell nodded and opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry. We’ve already finished preparing to move.”

That sight seemed somehow satisfying.

“Is it okay to just go to the front of the World Tree?”

Clocell waved his hand in the air.

Swish-

Mana moved and wrapped around the demon, and the demon’s body rose up.

“Let’s go.”

“her….”

The demon’s blood dripped onto the floor.

“I heard that demons have considerable regenerative powers…?”

“Hans burned it with his divine power. It will be difficult to regenerate it for a while.”

A look of relief filled Clocell and Paramon’s faces.

Looks like he relieved his stress by using magic.

Clocelle moved his body and the demon followed him.

Becoming a spectacle for all the elves.

“If I do this well, the medicine will work a little better…?”

Heo Ju-nom must be seeing this sight.

We arrived at the World Tree in no time.

Romenel arrived first and was looking at the World Tree with a worried expression.

“Chris, no matter how much I look at it, I can’t feel anything strange. But yesterday’s thing….”

That goes without saying.

It wasn’t something that Romenel, who was neither a complete believer nor a spiritual being, could find.

“I’ll show you soon.”

“….”

Before we begin, there’s something I need to say first.

“What we’re doing this time… might be a little awkward to watch.”

Contrary to my expectations, the expressions on the inspirations’ faces were indifferent.

“What, are you going to take out my intestines or something?”

“I guess I could just pull out that bastard’s claws and gouge out his eyes with them. If you want, I can pull them out with magic.”

These inspirational guys have been reacting like this whenever the topic of the devil comes up.

But I couldn’t help but agree with what the inspirations said.

“That’s how my subordinate died.”

“The wizard who followed me also had his eye gouged out by his own hand.”

“…..”

The continental war, what the old men were just talking about must have been ridiculous···.

“Then… let’s get started right away.”

My companions and Romenel fell away from me.

I also moved my body and approached the World Tree.

“also….”

The dark thing was hiding somewhere again.

But now it’s useless.

Because my two eyes clearly confirmed the guy’s true identity.

I shook the drop once.

Daughter –

My mind became dizzy and my head turned to one place on its own.

The branch you see now is probably where the guy is hiding.

I felt eyes looking at me quietly.

“This is the shaman’s trick.”

He shook the bell and played with his body.

A spirit took hold of my body as I jumped lightly.

When I put my hand on the demon’s body, thick blood came out.

I spread it along my mouth and chin.

Blood flowed down his face as if he had vomited it.

It recreates the scene of me vomiting blood.

Daughter –

I struck the demon’s body with the same motion I used when I struck its body.

Daughter –

The demon’s body twitched and began to instinctively protect itself.

Like that guy who ran away from the spirit.

Daughter –

He pulled out the dagger with his bloody hands.

Gulp –

Blood flowed down the torn wound.

He held a bell in one hand and a sword in the other.

The sword and the bell clashed, creating a metallic sound.

Now it was time to tease the devil with this sword.
