Episode 95

“It’s been a while. You’ve had a lot of fun.”

A voice comes from behind.

The king of the undead was standing at the door without anyone knowing when he had arrived.

He holds out his bony hand.

“Okay, then give it to me! I’m looking forward to it.”

“Is this what you mean?”

Sehyuk held out a bottle of fairy wine with a rainbow of colors.

“Yes, that’s right! Quickly give it to me.”

“Wait a minute. Please listen to me first.”

The moment the king of the undead reached out and tried to take the bottle, Sehyuk slowly pulled his hand back.

“what?”

“I have a question.”

After saying that, Se-hyeok brought Cha Ye-seong, who was sitting half-asleep, and Choi Sung-hyun out of the house.

He looks at the two of them carefully and smiles mischievously.

“This girl is learning the ancient destruction and vision magic I gave her. She’s pretty good at it for a human. The guy next to her… doesn’t even know the first thing about magic? What are you going to do with these guys?”

‘There’s a reason he’s a divine being.’

A single word cuts through everything.

I couldn’t tell if that was intentional or if it was just a coincidence.

“Surprisingly, what you said contains everything I wanted to ask.”

Sehyuk opened up about his problems.

In the current situation, it is best to seek answers from the King of the Undead.

“First, Cha Ye-seong said she’s almost finished the book. She needs a book to move on to the next 4 steps. The other one is….”

“You don’t need a new book, do you?”

The king of the undead suddenly interrupts the conversation. Se-hyeok and even Cha Ye-seong look at him with bewildered expressions.

“What are you talking about?”

“You have to figure that out on your own. Isn’t the development of talent originally a process of opening doors by gaining your own enlightenment?”

The king of the undead gives a playful look and does not answer.

Eventually, Sehyuk decided to cross the line a little.

“If you keep doing that, I won’t give you the fairy wine.”

I knew from our last meeting that the King of the Undead was willing to associate with Sehyuk.

The current atmosphere is also playful. So, we can also accept it cheerfully.

“why?”

The king of the undead made a look of injustice. However, Sehyuk remained expressionless.

“Didn’t you clearly say you would teach magic to Cha Ye-seong back then?”

“Ugh… yeah.”

“You also stole 30 cans of Cha Ye-seong’s alcohol. You probably know better than anyone how hard it is to get those 30 cans of alcohol in our world and how much they are worth.”

This time, the king of the undead turned his head and began to look away.

“I don’t know.”

“Someone who is thousands of years old knows only 30 years. So from now on, I don’t have to know what a fairy spell is?”

“Okay, I get it. I’m really being boring. I miss the fun times I used to have.”

As he said that, the king of the undead spoke of the last time Sehyuk was talking so diligently.

However, Sehyuk is also the type to never lose to anyone with his words. This time too, Sehyuk maintained a blank expression.

“I guess that’s what growth is.”

“You don’t lose a word.”

Eventually, the king of the undead bowed his upper body in disappointment, raising the white flag, then stood up again and snapped his fingers to summon the book.

It was the magic book that was handed over to Cha Ye-seong.

“Let’s try to see more. You’ll see things you couldn’t see before. That’s the format of this grimoire.”

Parallel!

A magic book floating in the air opens on its own.

The page turns, the last chapter.

New pages began to appear randomly in front of the empty book cover.

“Actually, most magic is like that. You have to gain enlightenment to be able to perform new tricks. Maybe even non-magical ones.”

The king of the undead handed the book back to Cha Ye-seong.

As soon as the newly created pages entered Cha Ye-seong’s hands, they transformed into magical particles and scattered into the air.

Sehyuk could also sympathize with the talent theory spoken by the king of the undead.

He is a master of swordsmanship.

Before you realize swordsmanship, you can only perceive it within the scope of what you know.

Maybe, everything.

That’s why breaking down that wall and trying to perceive more is the first step to learning.

At least that’s what Sehyuk thought.

“Then how can I see more?”

Cha Ye-seong came in and sharply stabbed Se-hyeok, who was lost in thought.

“Aren’t you a prophet? You can see into your future with foresight and borrow that power.”

“Then, in the end, I guess we need to further increase the power of prophecy.”

Cha Ye-seong ponders with a serious expression. Se-hyeok also nods his head at those words.

The prophecy that Cha Ye-seong has already taken on is too much. From overcoming minor trials to searching for clues to close the source, she is already expending too much energy in too many areas.

If you put too much effort into personal training in this situation, you won’t be able to do anything properly.

But all of these things are too valuable to be neglected.

You can have everything if you raise your power of prophecy in a short period of time.

“King of the Undead. How can I increase my power of prophecy?”

Cha Ye-seong also seems to feel the need, as her eyes light up with enthusiasm.

“There are many abilities associated with prophecy. Things like insight, intuition, and inspiration. You just need to focus on those.”

When you say that, one thing comes to Sehyuk’s mind.

A practice to maximize one’s senses in the midst of disaster.

Sehyuk is a living witness to that training, so it will be helpful.

“Is it okay now?”

“no.”

In fact, the problem is more serious here.

Sehyuk looked at Choi Sunghyun. Then, as if he had guessed what he was going to say, he lowered his head.

“How can this man be so good at magic?”

Introduction to Magic Engineering that he had received from Yevlen. However, Choi Sung-hyun had not yet been able to open Introduction to Magic Engineering.

There was no problem with breathing magic into objects, but it was not possible to process and transform that magic to create a specific result called magic.

“Why do you insist on teaching magic to someone who can’t use it?”

“I’ve already heard the same thing from the fairy merchant, so that’s not really a new answer.”

Sehyuk had already consulted with Yevlen about Choi Sunghyun’s situation.

She couldn’t come up with an answer either.

“What are you talking about now?”

“No. I want to learn it because I need to.”

The king of the undead gave him a suspicious look. Sehyuk turned his head away without any reaction.

“Is it really necessary?”

“yes.”

The king of the undead was in a state of confusion for a moment.

Sehyuk briefly pondered what answer he should give if he were to refuse.

In the meantime.

“Hahaha! I really like that expression. I can see you’re worried.”

The king of the undead laughs mischievously.

“Okay. Well. I’ll help you. I have high expectations of you. So I really hope you can overcome this situation.”

After saying that, the king of the undead placed his hand on Choi Seong-hyeon’s back.

Magical power that shone like the deep night sky with purple, blue, and black. Those magical powers seeped into Choi Sung-hyun and turned into threads to control puppets.

The magical powers that have seeped in slowly move Choi Sung-hyun’s fingers.

“So that’s how it’s done. I get the gist of it.”

Sehyuk also realized what the answer given by the king of the undead was.

It taught me directly how to move my magic power.

It was a method that directly engraved the detailed control of magical power into the body.

“It will take a long time to polish, but at least this is a first step.”

“sure.”

Choi Sung-hyun bows with a face that seems to have realized something.

The work was done more easily and simply than I thought.

at las,

“Is there anything else?”

The king of the undead, who cheerfully snaps his fingers and dispels magic with exaggerated gestures.

Sehyuk looked at him and opened his mouth.

“In this situation, is there anything else you can help me with?”

The face of the undead king who was telling him to get through this situation well. Sehyuk saw a slight look of regret passing across his face.

That’s why I’m going to try to catch it once.

Because I had a feeling that if I shook it well now, I might be able to get closer to some secret of the world.

Stop.

The king of the undead, who had been making exaggeratedly elegant gestures, stops.

“I can only help you if you tell me exactly. That’s the rule. And there’s a limit to how much you can give. Of course, I can’t tell you who opened the source or how to close it.”

He turned to Sehyuk with a serious expression on his face.

“What do you want?”

That statement was both an acceptance of an answer and an act of handing over the hilt of the sword to choose which answer to receive.

‘I guess that doesn’t mean it won’t be a decisive clue to solving the root cause. Then.’

Sehyuk put into his mouth one of the questions he had been harboring for a while.

“Why was the source opened? And why did the aliens and monsters come here?”

“I have two questions. But still, I will answer them. One of them is meaningless. Why was the source opened? I cannot answer that.”

The king of the undead stroked his chin.

“But I can tell you this. The reason the aliens and monsters came here is, as you might have guessed, because the being that destroyed their homeland released them here. Try to survive for once.”

* * *

After finishing the story, the king of the undead accepted the fairy wine and left with a satisfied expression.

Along with a meaningful statement that he hopes things will be different this time, along with a request to continue taking care of him in the future.

‘I was talking about this situation as if it was a disaster that had happened before.’

Wouldn’t it be fair to interpret this as meaning that the one who opened the source of the disaster had a reason to do this again and again?

Now that the fairy godmother’s ceremony has been completed, Sehyuk immediately started on his next task.

‘It’s time to go find the real source of the clue. And to do that, there’s something you absolutely must do.’

Sehyuk looked back at Choi Sunghyun.

Almost ready to be touched.

Modifying vehicles through magical engineering.

‘Ultimately, we’ll have to modify the car to get out of here. The armored car will protect us, but it won’t do anything when we encounter terrain that has been shattered by disaster.’

To survive the harsh external environment teeming with all sorts of strange phenomena and terrifying monsters, strong protection is needed.

‘Going a long distance on a motorcycle is just asking to be killed. Even when it didn’t go down, it was close to an act of suicide.’

That is also the reason why I have been able to hold on here so steadfastly until now.

If you wander around rashly, you will only end up dying alone.

So, we built a stronghold to serve as a sort of safe zone.

There is only one last step left.

Until we leave this area.

The lost family of Go Jeong-hwan, Cha Ye-seong, and Choi Seong-hyeon.

A clue to closing the source.

Monster worshippers who commit evil deeds.

The Seoul Survivors’ Association, which betrayed Sehyuk and continues to spread evil deeds.

Only then can we reach those goals.
