I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner - Chapter 512
512 – Unexpected Transaction
‘Oh oh!! Go, thank you! Thanks to Master, we have come to this point-‘
[That also happened. The way to grow is to have the right attitude of the learner rather than the teacher.
Even though you only had a little talent, you already had the right attitude, so you went beyond your limits. It’s okay to be proud of yourself. Disciple.]
A shiver ran through my whole body at the praise that was unbecoming of a teacher.
In an instant, memories of training together for a long time in a secret space flashed by.
A time of perseverance where I swung and swung and swung again.
Although I fell far short of being the strongest swordsman who could cut a huge monster in two at once, it was a monumental day for me, who had lived as a guide in my past life.
[Then I will tell you how to break free from the bondage I was talking about back then.]
‘Finally…’
Master swirled around me for a while, emitting an unknown energy, and then at some point, he disappeared and I also escaped from the dark space.
*
Wide meadows… Fresh scent of flowers. Unfamiliar air…
‘Where on earth am I?’
When I came to my senses, I found myself in a space where the endless horizon was completely covered with green and pink waves.
‘It’s beautiful… I wish I had come with Yeonhee.’
After a while of looking at the scenery, I realized that this place was a bit different from the real world.
“Let’s go.”
“Crack, tick, tick?!!”
‘Surprise!’
A deep male voice suddenly came from behind.
Even though my senses were sharply activated, I couldn’t even sense a presence.
‘What is it, snow…’
Although he seemed to be in his mid to late 40s, he was a man with a sturdy physique whose ambiance gave off the dignity of a veteran who had gone through many hardships.
‘··· Just looking at it, it doesn’t seem like he’s from our side. Still, it’s strange that it feels extremely beautiful.’
His appearance was humanoid, but he had four eyes, was 3 meters tall, had transparent skin, and silver hair fluttered in the air as if in a vacuum.
‘The joints of the limbs are very hard. It’s as hard as steel, but also soft. If you train your natural body to its limit, can you become like that?’
Just by looking at the way he lightly walked towards me, I could see how amazing this man was.
The reason I speak of him in the past tense is because the true nature of the man in front of me is now trapped in a bead.
‘Why didn’t I know? Just looking at the energy I feel…’
I finally found out.
The man who called me was…
‘Master…’
“Hmm. Okay. Let’s move first.”
I walked silently following Master.
Master did not take his eyes off me as we walked together, and his four sparkling, jewel-like eyes were full of curiosity, as if he were looking at a child.
“Why aren’t you asking anything?”
‘Can you focus if you have four eyes?’
“What? Haha! Is that what you’re asking? I was wondering where you’re going and how you came to this place.”
‘I’ll know where I’m going when I get there, and I’m not even curious about how I got there. I guessed that you had a lot of ability just by looking at how you used secret arts.’
If I had been brought back to the world I lived in, it would have been a different story.
Haha- Yes, you’re right. But it’s truly amazing.”
‘What do you mean?’
“There aren’t many people I brought here, but each and every one of them showed their true form. How is it that you still look like you are wearing armor? You are a subject of research.”
‘The essence of nature… I see.’
From noble mtl dot come
Larmisiel, the goddess of the moon, revealed my true form for a moment, but it seemed that the owner of this space could not reach that level of power.
‘The original form, the essence… Is my essence Yun Han-gyeol?’
When I thought about the fact that I had never once in my life visited the room where I lived, I wondered if I really valued myself as someone who lived as Yoon Han-gyeol.
After moving for a while, a hut began to appear.
‘There’s no roof… Did they finish building it?’
It was an extremely shabby place.
However, the atmosphere emanating from the old woman sitting inside offset all that.
‘······.’
“You don’t have to be too scared.”
How can I not be afraid?
The energy radiating from that old woman now far surpassed that of Jogi, and even surpassed the status of a teacher who was assumed to be in her prime.
‘There are so many strong people in the world…’
King of the Immortal.
The road I have to walk feels even longer.
However, if the process is enjoyable, it won’t be a bad thing if the road continues forever.
[Sit down.]
I sat across from the old woman with Master.
‘Weird… Absolutely strange.’
I thought it was definitely an elderly woman, but why was her face blurred like a hazy fog and I couldn’t see it properly?
‘It feels similar to not being able to see a great being…’
It was clear that it was a being of a distant status that I could not even dare to recognize.
Anyway, as soon as the two met each other, they started talking about things that had nothing to do with me.
[It is foolish to keep looking for the right answer in a world without end.]
“We can all move forward because we are all foolish.”
[The forward you think of also refers to the back.]
“It was better than being stagnant.”
Their conversation continued, but there were metaphors and slang hidden here and there, so there wasn’t much I could understand.
[Okay… Azamun. In the end, aren’t you trapped? It would be nice if you accepted my offer-]
“I don’t regret it, but I’m just sorry for not being able to show a good side of myself.”
[There is not much time. Tell me your business.]
“Somehow, I ended up taking on a disciple. I ask you to show this ugly guy a path.”
[Under? Student? You mean that? Hero ‘Ajamune’ has also changed a lot. The person I knew wasn’t the type of kid who would ask for favors like that.]
“Water continues to flow and mix.”
[Hoho-Really? Anyway, if it doesn’t interest me, it’s of no use. Could your disciples have that kind of karma?]
“I am sure you will be satisfied.”
The old woman, whose face was covered by Master’s rant, began to stare at me intently.
[Heul- Ohhohoho-? Definitely- um-! I see- hehe-]
‘I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m suffocating and it’s hard to bear.’
The mysterious old woman just kept smiling as if she was having fun, but for me, who was enduring the pressure right in front of me, it felt like death.
‘It’s clear that only the mental body has been transferred, but this level of intimidation…’
OMG—!
Then, out of nowhere, the old woman clapped her hands and looked at me and Master in turn.
[Mysterious skull. If you want to get what you want, fight your master and win. Then you can escape from bondage.]
‘··· Yes?! W-what?!’
The words fell like a bolt from the blue.
The old woman seemed to already know my situation, but her solution was truly absurd.
‘Yeonhee… Do you want me to kill Yeonhee? Well, that can’t be…’
I was so weighed down by the enormous presence that I couldn’t even speak properly.
But she nodded her head as if she understood everything and spoke as if comforting me.
[Mysterious and pitiful skeleton. I know what you’re worried about. But I’m sure you can find a way. I will show you a small path someday, so you just have to walk hard on that path.]
An old woman who says that if you just keep doing what I do, you will find a way.
She could barely breathe a sigh of relief at those words.
This means that she will never really die in a life-or-death situation with Yeonhee, and that if she just walks forward silently, she will be able to overcome it.
[But there is one condition.]
‘As expected… Isn’t there anything for free?’
She felt like her temporal bone was tightening with worry about what she would ask for.
[Give me three lives.]
‘·······?! Another life?’
It was an unexpected suggestion that made me feel dizzy for a moment.
In her embarrassment, she tried to ask for help from the teacher sitting next to her.
‘You disappeared?!’
Before I knew it, it was just me and the old woman in this space, and I had entered a world painted entirely in blue, with a feeling of floating in space.
The moment the old woman made the suggestion, she seemed to have entered her own space.
[No, no. If that kid listens to my suggestion, he will definitely get angry.
I don’t want to see Azamune angry. You have no idea how much I care about that child. Poor skeleton.]
‘Ha… I’m the student of the child I care so much about, so you can just do it.’
[As you said, there is nothing free in this universe.]
‘······ It was a place where even your heart could be read.’
[Ihihihi-]
My worries deepen.
A bondage that prevents Yeonhee from falling beyond the range of her senses.
Rather than releasing it right away, you have to give him three lives just by showing him a path that can lead to a safe life-and-death relationship with Yeon-hee.
Even the fragments of the great being blocked the gaze of the blue eyes and took only one life…
‘Is this right?’
As expected, this seemed like an unfair contract.
I couldn’t do that even more because it wasn’t long ago that I was scolded by Master and Yeonhee.
‘I’m sorry, but I can’t give you my life.’
If I were to sacrifice three lives to someone I had just formed a relationship with, it wouldn’t be polite to the ‘Pyeonlin’ who stopped the blue eyes that threatened me.
[What…? Don’t you truly want to be released from bondage? In my opinion, it must be a very important condition for you now.]
‘Of course, I hope so for myself and Yeonhee… But I have to consider whether it’s worth giving up my life.’
As I calmly expressed my opinion, part of the old woman’s pale, obscured face was revealed.
‘…?’
[Okay, then two! How about two!]
You said you don’t like two or anything.
[At least one!]
‘No.’
[H-that?!]
The calm-looking old woman I saw at first was confused as to where she was going and what to do with her nervousness, which embarrassed me even more.
‘Still, it’s a pity. Oops-‘
Reading minds is a more annoying ability than you might think.
It feels like playing a card game while showing your cards.
But there is nothing you can do.
From the beginning, this space was designed so that no matter what you do, you have no choice but to carry it with you.
‘Isn’t there something else to exchange…’
As I continued to think quietly, a few things suddenly came to mind.
‘What if it’s a spirit soul…?’
This time, 39 spirit souls were obtained by defeating the ‘Sanghon species that reached the highest level.’
One of them was a soul obtained by killing a seeker who was tainted by chaos.
‘Because the existence of spirits themselves is rare. If this doesn’t work, I’ll just leave.’
A card I threw away just in case.
However, while proposing it in reverse, I thought that it might not be enough to appeal to such a great being.
By the way.
[It’s a spirit soul… Hmm… Are you really going to go? You don’t like things like fighting, do you?]
Although I was a little disappointed with the card thrown in an “I-or-other” Way, I was clearly responding to the spirit’s soul itself.
[Would you like to hear what type it is? Surely they aren’t low-level guys like ‘Focuser of Darkness’ and ‘Nevilus of Chaos’? Even ‘extinction ravers’ cannot be traded. Because their souls have already filled the collection items.]
I wasn’t the only one who could obtain the spirit soul.
‘You hide more than you see…’
[······.]
With that in mind, I spoke carefully to the old woman.
‘Crystalide is the spirit of a spirit.’
[Hmm?! Crystal Ride?! Let’s take a look.]
I took out a very small and delicate ice crystal from her space and showed it to her.
The spirit pulled out of subspace covered its face with its small, stubby arms and twisted its body.
[Oh hoho? This is a very precious thing. As far as I know, these guys control the humans, right?]
‘Yes, but…’
[Feel so good! A soul whose essence form remains intact!]
Fortunately, the old woman liked Crystalide’s soul, and the transaction proceeded smoothly.
