The Shaman Wants Transcendence - The Shaman Wants Transcendence chapter 86
86 – Shine Bright
The fairies that came out of the circle gradually began to take shape.
As smoke billows from the ground, it gradually stretched out and formed hands and feet. Then, like a turtle stretching its neck, it gently pulled out its long neck, opened its sucker-like mouth of a lamprey, and smiled, showing its teeth.
Carre.
Sounds like babies laughing because they are happy.
Innocent, innocent, untainted sound.
However, the sight of each holding a wisdom tooth in one hand and gnawing at it with pleasure was more like a monster than a baby.
Crackle!
The tooth fairy’s appearance gradually changed as she gnawed at her wisdom teeth.
More limbs sprouted, a larger body, wings, and pincers reminiscent of pliers.
And only after they came out with long tentacles to act as legs, their transformation was over.
Ki-Yararrureuk.
What came out of the tooth fairy’s mouth was a sound too terrifying to be a baby and innocuous to be evil. However, it could not be helped that it aroused fear in humans, and it made the hair all over the body stand on end.
The tooth fairies, transformed into grotesque forms that irritated the Unpleasant Valley, began to surround the altar. It looked like a wolf aiming for a sacrifice, and it looked like people preparing for a certain ritual.
And as if they were aiming for such an appearance, the music playing from the MP3 changed.
The grotesque melody suddenly began to jump and became dynamic, becoming more and more frightening. A shrill sound that made the heart soar high into the sky, and the sound of the timpani, as if it were about to explode with fear, spread in all directions.
The tremors were so great that the cascade of blood cascading to the floor rocked and splattered blood in all directions, causing the fortune teller to vomit blood as she struggled to keep herself together.
The terrible cacophony gradually heightened the altar, and the blazing flames swayed and danced in all directions, as if driven mad by the cacophony. The red light of the forest only added to the madness, to the extent that it gave rise to the illusion that some invisible evil being was begging for blood quickly.
And, befitting the rising sound, the tooth fairies began dancing in unison.
It spreads out in all directions like a flower blooming around the altar, stretches out its arms, and then withdraws and transforms into the shape of a flower bud, resembling the shape of the sun rolling over flames in all directions.
Jinseong watched her like that, and when her tooth fairies tried to spin around her, he took out a piece of her meat from her arms. The tiny pieces of meat were blue and black, as if they had been spoiled, and those that gave off a strong stench were likely to cause serious harm if eaten.
He floated it into the air and put it into the fainting Ella’s mouth.
Soon, her face began to contort in pain, and abnormalities began to appear all over her body. Her eyelids were swollen, cold sweat broke out all over her body, and her complexion turned white as if something was pumping blood.
In addition, her fingers even trembled as if in convulsions, so it was absolutely not normal.
Seeing this, the tooth fairies stopped dancing and turned their heads in unison.
TheyI saw a fortune teller.
It was a fortune teller swinging a wooden ax in the air and continuing to perform the ritual dance.
The fortune teller, who had been dancing to somehow control the ritual, stopped dancing around the altar and muttered a curse at the tooth fairies sticking their sucker-like mouths towards him.
“Damn it…”
With a curse, the fortune teller shook him and threw all of his tarot onto the floor.
The spilled tarots were all face down, as if they had been made that way on purpose, and the fortune teller moved his feet to arrange the 10 tarot cards in a specific pattern.
It was the Celtic Cross Spread, which is mainly used in the Tarot.
He turned over the fifth of the cards arranged as a Celtic Cross.
From noble mtl dot com
Major Arcana 10, The Wheel of Fortune.
It was a card with a picture of a giant wheel floating in the sky.
It was a card that meant circulation, luck, and destiny…
“Is it backwards?”
It was flipped in the reverse direction, which says that it is difficult to get out of the crisis, not the forward direction that allows you to get out of the crisis. But the fortune teller didn’t give up and kicked it and sent it flying towards his tooth fairies, and the card flew towards them in a small whirlwind.
Kyaauk!
The tooth fairy laughed as if it were mocking at the whirlwind flying towards her, then spread its wings reminiscent of insects and flew up all at once. Then he played with the whirlwind as if it were a ride, spinning it round and round, and after the whirlwind was gone, he raised his head and looked at the fortune teller as if there were no more.
The fortune teller flips the 2nd and 6th cards before his Tooth Fairy pounces on him.
The number 2 card that indicates the problem is Major Arcana number 11, Justice.
It was a card with a picture of a person wearing a thin cloth and sitting between two pillars with a strange embossed pattern on them. The straight sword was shining silver, and the balance held in the other hand remained parallel as if it were originally like that.
However, the double-edged sword that should have been aimed at the enemy was aimed at the fortune teller.
“Is it the other way around?”
What the reverse definition tells us is that the current situation is against him.
The forest, which should have been the fortune teller’s home ground, became a space where the fortune teller was unilaterally forced to lose money, and due to his wrong judgment, he even harbored accusations that he had made a mistake in everything. Not only that, but they were even warning that the sacrifices that were supposed to be pure could not be properly performed because they were contaminated.
It was really the worst.
But there is a floor under the floor.
The 6 card, flipped over for a chance, had a more dire outcome.
He saw a man standing on one leg with his arm behind his back.
The man’s smile was subtle, as if resigned or attained. Moreover, the pillars against which they were leaning were showing off their freshness with green leaves spreading in all directions.
Except that by nature the man should be hanging on.
“Reverse…”
12 Major Arcana, The Hanged Man.
The right direction means sacrifice and offering.
However, in the reverse direction, it means meaningless sacrifice and punishment.
The fortuneteller cried out with bloody tears.
<BR> “You freak! What have you done!”
Upside Down Justice and the Hanged Man were talking.
Ella was so contaminated that she could not be used as a sacrifice, and this human sacrifice ritual was meaningless.
Even if you sacrifice Ella, you won’t get anything you want.
Now this place will be your execution site, not a space for ancestral rites.
Fortune telling.
He was talking about the fortune-teller’s terrible end.
And Jin-seong raised the volume of the MP3, as if affirming the ominous fortune-telling.
“Aren’t you helping your consciousness?”
Jinseong laughed.
“Isn’t that why I play music like this? Oh, do you hate classical music?”
Works by Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky.
Rite of Spring (Весна священная).
A song based on Russian primitive religious rites.
It was a work created by interpreting the human sacrifice ceremony performed in spring and the sun.
Considering that the ritual of human sacrifice performed by a fortune teller is a ritual offering a sacrifice to Krom Cruach, who is in charge of the sun and fertility, isn’t it a very suitable combination?
However, this spring festival also requires a ‘pure virgin’.
If you enter the second part of the Rite of Spring, Le Sacrifice, only the effect of offering a virgin virgin as a sacrifice will be amplified.
This didn’t please Jinseong, who didn’t want to kill Ella and wanted the fortune teller to let go of the reins in his out-of-control ritual.
So he made Ella impure.
“Quis potest facere mundum de immundo?”
What does chastity mean?
Does it simply mean that there is no intimacy between men and women?
If so, do newborn babies, young children, over-aged virgins, and old bachelor men who have passed the age of marriage all have the same value?
Not like that.
Even if you have never held the hand of the opposite s*x, the older you are, the less innocence you will have because you have been shaved and shaved in the storms of the world.
Even if she is an over-aged virgin, it would be difficult to say that she has no stains on her since the world has stained her with dirt.
Children can be said to be less dirty, but human nature constantly builds up karma.
A newborn baby with no time and no accumulated karma was the most pure being.
If so, what is the time and what are the waves?
What is dirt, and what stains people?
Jin-seong knew the answer.
A life that has been lived by leading a body that is no different from a corpse.
That terrible pain and rotting body itself is filthy and polluted.
Body, soul and spirit.
For if one of them is tainted and twisted, it can ruin everything!
It was the same logic as if a brazier standing on three legs would tip over if one of its legs was broken.
It is easy to cause trouble in the body.
In the past, people considered illness to be caused by uncleanness, and the sick were considered unclean.
As a result, the sick person was able to get out of the disease through ‘purification’ by going to the temple, washing and praying, and being reborn as a clean body again.
And this illness is out of the ordinary.
Bacteria, Viruses, and GeneticsIt included not only diseases such as enemy diseases, but also fungal and parasitic infections.
It was Jinseong’s specialty to use such things.
Even if he didn’t bother to blow his flesh, he could disintegrate any number of people’s bodies.
“The altar needs a sacrifice, you know?”
Jinseong made eye contact with the fortuneteller and smiled.
He looked like a child killing an ant without any guilt, and he looked like a young man who was delighted with the fact that justice was being realized and didn’t know what to do. Or he looked like a murderer who horribly enjoyed watching people die, or he looked like a torturer who listened sweetly to people’s screams.
What should I call that?
How should I define it?
“Oh no, I can’t do this.”
The fortune teller smiled at himself.
He was speechless at the sight of him laughing in anticipation of his own destruction.
“What’s the problem?”
“I’m just a fellow, that child! The unborn child!”
“I just wanted to make you see the light!”
“That person with no talent and no buds will accumulate a lot of bad karma in his life!”
“And I’ve built it! I can take it! Dozens of humans have died and spilled their blood to save that one child!”
“That scent clings to that child’s soul!”
“Because I grew up harboring resentment from childhood!”
“What’s wrong with offering that insignificant thing to live meaninglessly for the sake of youth!”
The fortune teller cried out in the cacophony that pierced his ears.
“Human sacrifice? What’s wrong with that!”
“A monster like you wouldn’t have intervened because he was disgusted with human sacrifice!”
“Are you craving that offering?! Huh? Are you craving it?!”
“You know very well how much you can get with just that little thing!”
“Isn’t that why you intervened?”
The fortune teller glared at Jinseong with eyes bloodshot from anger.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I don’t think that has anything to do with you.”
“He said he would dedicate it to strengthen his younger sister, so what’s the problem?”
“Do you know or don’t you know?”
“Everyone is happy with that one.”
“Your sister’s intelligence will develop.”
“Yang energy will be boosted and physical abilities will be improved.”
“I’m getting closer to becoming a hero.”
“The innocent child never born lives.”
“That kid’s going to do a lot better than that thing that went wrong from the start!”
“For the sake of the child who will get a new life in the future, that immature thing must die!”
“We can’t coexist like we do! That’s wrong from the start, you have to die clean and give that child a pure body!”
Jinseong did not respond to the fortuneteller’s words.
Instead, he held his breath, lost his presence, and just lurched there like a bug that came at the smell of blood and corpses.
From noble mtl dot com
Instead, the tooth fairies moved slowly toward him, just in time for the second part of The Rite of Spring, Le Sacrifice, to play on the MP3.
“Oh my goodness.”
“sh*t…”
The fortuneteller felt that he was doomed.
Consciousness cannot be interrupted.
The ritual had already progressed enough, and if the sacrifice was not offered until the sun rose, it was clear that the ritual would collect the sacrifice by itself from among the ‘persons who participated in the ritual’. And the one who is conducting the ritual is a fortune teller.
Jinseong is not the person who conducts the ceremony, but the person who makes the altar.It hadn’t passed, so it couldn’t be used as a sacrifice.
Can’t run away
Krom Cruach symbolizes fear and slaughter, sun and fertility.
Even if he escapes, as long as the sun rises and he sets foot on the fertile land, the sacrifices necessary for the ceremony will be collected, and the target will be the priest who conducted the ceremony and the sole participant, the fortuneteller.
Besides, he can’t attack Jin-seong to relieve his anger.
Fighting another shaman while the ritual was paying the price with life force and energy in real time was tantamount to suicide.
Can I proceed with the ceremony?
Since the sacrifice is contaminated and defiled, it is meaningless to offer it, so how can we proceed?
How on earth could he offer a sacrifice and complete the ceremony safely?
“Under…”
The fortune teller sighed and looked at the tooth sprites surrounding him.
The Tooth Fairy spun around him with grotesque gestures, then snapped at his waist and began jumping around, swinging his arms and claws.
The fortune teller quietly lowered his head and looked at me.
Clothes without a speck of tee.
His own skin, which did not stain even a single bloodstain despite the uproar.
Instead of the bloody smell and body odor that should have been there, the gentle scent of lotus flowers.
Fortune teller.
He is.
She is.
He had a terrible vision of the Krom Cruach pattern smiling at him.
