Episode 158. Identity Steal (1)
“hmm.”

【why?】

“Will it be okay?”

For some reason, I had a bad feeling about this.

【What? Jiho?】

“uh.”

Yoon Ji-ho goes off alone on a mission to tail the Gaia guys.

I was worried about the guy.

【Should I worry? I think I’ll do well!】

“hmm….”

Even for me, it wasn’t clear why I was worried about Yoon Ji-ho.

“You’re making a fuss about grace and all that, but you don’t think you’ll lose your composure and make a mistake because of that, do you?”

【That’s not it? You’re seriously trying to keep your composure.】

“… .”

【Isn’t Eugene just anxious because he doesn’t understand why Jiho is acting like that?】

Of course, I personally don’t understand it.

I know I should repay the favor, but I can’t believe I want to repay the favor so desperately.

but.

“I don’t feel that way.”

The reason I’m anxious now is definitely not because of that.

“It won’t work.”

Eventually I contacted someone.

【What are you trying to do?】

“You should get insurance.”

I don’t know what this anxiety is all about, but I needed to prepare for it.

* * *

“Welcome!”

“Thank you for your time.”

The place I found was the Gaia Church Korea branch located in Yeouido.

Among them, it was Ahn Su-hwan’s office.

“No way. If it’s Apostle Kim Yu-jin’s request, I have to make time even if I don’t have it!”

Ahn Su-hwan, a first-class priest, the position immediately below that of a bishop.

He still mistook me for an apostle of Gaia.

And this is why I came here.

‘An Su-hwan has a high status within the religious community.’

In case of any difference, to take advantage of that position.

【Huh? Eugene.】

‘why?’

【Of course, if you speak nicely, he might listen to you, but is that okay?】

An Su-hwan is friendly to me.

So, he will grant my requests in most cases.

Unless it’s a request that specifically goes against Gaia.

‘But there is a high possibility that my request will go against Gaia.’

Of course I will try to package it, but in the end, there is a high possibility that An Su-hwan will become suspicious of me.

Frill’s question meant, would that be okay?

but.

‘doesn’t care.’

【why?】

‘I’m not asking for a favor, I’m just going to steal your identity.’

【How… … Ah!】

That wasn’t my plan.

‘Yes. Because there is ‘Polymorph’.’

This time, at the Magic Tower, I received the dragon power from Metheus, “Polymorph”.

He planned to use it to steal Ahn Su-hwan’s identity.

So, I plan to pretend to talk and then analyze the magic pattern by filling the 30-second contact condition.

That’s why.

“Come to think of it, that… assassin guy came by, right?”

First of all, it was necessary to listen carefully to what Ahn Su-hwan had to say.

I answered in a low voice, matching the question asked by the man.

“Yes. You took advantage of the moment when Namgung Myung was alone.”

“Ugh… … I’m really worried that he might come to me too.”

The guy glanced at me and started talking as if he was worried about his father’s attack.

The intention was obvious.

‘Isn’t there anything that can give you some peace of mind?’

There was no reason not to tell.

“I don’t think you have to worry too much. He ran away.”

“…Run away?”

“I guess you didn’t hear the full story?”

“Ahem. Oh, that’s right.”

I briefly explained what happened with Namgung Myung.

Roughly speaking, the assassin (father) ended up allowing Namgung Myung to strike and then ran away.

“Oh… Then, can I rest assured for the time being!?”

“Yes. I was so scared that I ran away, so I’ll be okay.”

“Oh!”

“Still, don’t go out alone. The inside of the temple is the safest place.”

“Of course!”

An Su-hwan was very happy to hear the news of the assassin’s defeat.

It was only natural, since I too was nervous about being attacked.

He asked me as if he was secretly testing me.

“Then, Guild Leader Namgung Myung will also start to get active soon?”

“Yes.”

“Do you have any plans?”

About Namgung Myung’s future plans.

I was wondering why you asked this….

“It’s not enough to simply defeat the assassin once. He might attack again at any moment.”

“That could be possible.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we found it first?”

In the following words, I could see the true meaning.

‘In the end, he wants to cover up the fact that he lost his father.’

My father has been brainwashed by Ahn Soo-hwan for the past 10 years.

But that brainwashing was broken when I met him.

‘The problem here is that, from Ahn Soo-hwan’s perspective, this is like losing one of his subordinates who was like an arm and a leg.’

Therefore, An Su-hwan’s concern was not simply to avoid being attacked by his father.

Going further, perhaps bringing back to the fold of the Gaia Cult an 8-star assassin who could be considered their property.

So, that is.

‘You want to brainwash your father again.’

It was a very unpleasant story for me.

However, he didn’t show any tea.

rather.

‘Don’t you know Namgung Myung’s future plans? Is the connection between the two of you not as strong as you thought?’

From what he said, I figured out something I could dig into.

‘If I do it right, I can use it.’

With that in mind, I threw the carrot first.

“It’s not a bad idea to find him first. With Hunter Namgung Myung by your side, we’ll be able to catch him.”

“Okay. When will you─”

“But Father An Su-hwan.”

“Uh, yeah?”

“But, didn’t Namgung Myung tell you? About future plans?”

And then, he offered an apple.

An apple filled with the poison of ‘discord’.

“… … didn’t do it.”

“That’s strange. It’s not like Guild Master Namgung Myung doesn’t trust Priest An Su-hwan.”

“… … !”

That’s what it meant.

Namgung Myung, didn’t you tell me because you didn’t trust me?

‘I wouldn’t have even thought of trying it originally.’

That was the situation.

In fact, Namgung Myung did not seem to have told Ahn Su-hwan the plan.

So, it is a possible attempt at sowing discord.

After a brief silence, Ahn Soo-hwan opened his mouth.

“… Do you know?”

“yes.”

He answered immediately.

I appealed to the fact that Namgung Myung had told me the plan.

In other words, I made it known that I don’t trust Ahn Soo-hwan as much as I trust him.

“I wonder what it is.”

An Su-hwan asked in a slightly sharp voice.

“That’s… Ah! I’m sorry. I’m afraid that Mr. Namgung Myung might have something in mind, but I’d rather not tell you first… … .”

He kept his words somewhat vague and refused to divulge his plans.

‘I can’t speak.’

It would be more appropriate to not say anything to cause discord, but this should not be said.

reason?

‘It’s really nothing.’

In fact, An Su-hwan is not important to what Namgung Myung planned.

That’s why it was highly likely that he didn’t tell him and only told me.

Because I was the only one needed for ‘that job’.

but.

‘If you can just induce misunderstandings to build up between them, you can make their relationship worse.’

This wasn’t a big risk.

Because nothing I said was far from the truth.

Even if it gets discovered, it can be made to seem like a mistake.

【Eugene… … .】

‘why?’

【You really… … !】

‘You say I’m a piece of trash?’

【No! You’re smart!】

The frill has evolved.

Now I even know how to turn it over.

【D, I got caught!】

‘Yeah. Stay quiet. Don’t talk nonsense.’

【yes.】

I quieted the frills and waited calmly.

So that An Su-hwan can misunderstand everything on his own.

“Huh, huh huh… .”

“… I’m sorry. I guess it’s because I’m in a position below Hunter Namgung Myung…”

“Haha… I understand.”

An Su-hwan nodded reluctantly.

Of course, he seemed very upset inside.

‘Okay. That’s enough seed planting.’

At this point, I decided to get to the main point.

That was the purpose of coming here in the first place.

“Priest, would you please pray with me?”

“Prayer?”

“Yes. Normally I wouldn’t do that, but since it’s just you and me here… .”

To register An Su-hwan’s magical power pattern in “Polymorph”.

“Haha. That’s a welcome thing! Hold out your hand.”

“yes.”

When I held out my hand, An Su-hwan placed his hand on it.

If he had been trying to avoid contact, I should have said something more, but luckily, he immediately grabbed my hand.

[Start identifying the target’s magical power pattern.]

[Please keep in touch.]

[Time remaining: 29 seconds]

… … .

There was nothing difficult.

It was just hard work having to listen to praise comments about Gaia.

[Magic pattern identification completed.]

[You can save the target’s magic pattern in the slot.]

[Would you like to save it?]

‘save.’

[Human, An Su-hwan’s magic power pattern has been saved in slot 2.]

– Current slots remaining: (2/3)

In that way, I was able to polymorph into Ansuhwan without much difficulty.

I’ve seen everything this guy has to offer now.

“Thank you for your prayers. I have to go now because something urgent came to mind.”

“Huh, huh? Not yet… Praying takes a long time to be effective─”

“Thank you very much, Father! I will see you again next time!”

“… .”

That’s how I escaped from the den of hypocrites.

* * *

Woof.

I got a call from Yoon Ji-ho.

It was a message that they had found the Paladins and Priests who were trying to obtain the holy relics, and had confirmed the location where they had stopped after following them.

“Fortunately, it seems like there are no problems yet.”

My worries have eased a little.

【Eugene! Then isn’t it okay now? We’ve already figured out the location!】

“Well… that’s true.”

In fact, Yoon Ji-ho’s mission is finished.

Successfully.

but.

“But, I’m anxious.”

The feeling of unexplained anxiety still persisted.

【Isn’t it just a feeling? It seems to me like you worry too much?】

Frill thought my anxiety was just a fluke.

But, I thought differently.

“Do you remember what happened before?”

【That happened a long time ago?】

“Why, that donating angel back then.”

【…cobra?】

“uh.”

past.

I was once lured and attacked by a strange man disguised as an old woman.

At that time, even though I knew it was a disguise, I followed it because I had a good feeling about it.

And then… … .

“I was able to get ‘Dispelling’ there.”

I was able to obtain an item that I really wanted.

In addition, I also obtained ten ‘unstable unfinished suits’.

therefore.

【Eugene has a good sense?】

“that’s right.”

My intuition is pretty reliable.

Even though there is no proper basis for it.

“I guess I should go.”

So I decided.

I decided to go see Yoon Ji-ho.

* * *

Arrived at the location given to me by Yoon Ji-ho.

A deserted ruin in Incheon.

“… Uh, I feel uneasy.”

There was no contact with Yoon Ji-ho.

After sending the initial location, there has been no response.

“Frill. Go check it out.”

【huh!】

First, I sent only the frill from a distance.

Because if you approach them and get caught first, it’ll be a headache.

After assessing the situation in advance, I planned to come up with appropriate countermeasures.

After a while.

Frills are back.

【Eugene!】

“What is the situation?”

【Jiho is fighting with those Gaia guys!】

“under.”

My uneasy premonition was not wrong.

“Polymorph into An Su-hwan right away─”

─We must save Yoon Ji-ho.

At that moment, when you are about to use the skill.

I heard a story from Frill that I couldn’t understand at all.

【They’re fighting with each other, saying things like “what is the doctrine?”】

“……what?”

【So, you’re having a really heated discussion?】

“What about physical conflict?”

【doesn’t exist!】

“…?”
