chapter 21
21 – Cheolpi Donggi Valley – 4
The explanation of the curse is complex.
The most basic foundation of magic is to slowly unravel it based on the opinion that if the process is similar, the result will be similar.
In other words, Hae Joo’s process had to be similar to the process of casting a curse so that Hae Joo could do it easily.
Of course, there is a magic trick that suppresses the curse with overwhelming spiritual power, but Harvey’s spiritual power was lower than that of Unggeomgwi.
In the face of the curse and spiritual power of the Great Sword Demon, who had been cursed by the sword for hundreds of years, Harvey’s spiritual power was at a level worse than that of a baby.
Therefore, Harvey planned to take the curse of the Unggeomgwi himself and take care of it.
“It’s a dirty energy.”
A terrible curse travels down the back of his hand and begins to lick Harvey’s body.
Like, can you make our wishes come true? It was an organic response that seemed to be asking.
Essentially, a s*xual organ that stimulates a person’s desire.
That if we accept our curse, we can set the world on fire, we can solve hatred.
The swords constantly whispered in Harvey’s ears.
Kill, kill.
Fill us with blood and make us happy.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Soon, Harvey’s body began to be completely consumed by the sword’s curse.
*********
Sreung.
A man draws a sword.
A man swings a sword.
A man cut the air.
A man in my memory pulled out a sword.
A muscular man raises his great sword and strikes down the enemy in front of him.
A man wearing really impressive leopard print clothes laughs loudly and smiles as he looks at his defeated enemy.
And next to him, he praises and shows respect to the man wearing leopard print clothes, calling him brother.
The shout of a man who boasts that he is the best in the world and the champion of Gangnam penetrates Harvey’s ears.
And the man falls asleep satisfactorily polishing his greatsword and imagining the enemies to come.
And the repetition of daily life.
Hunting, killing, stealing, stealing.
The man stayed in the mountains and lived a long life with his younger brothers.
Occasionally men called government troops came to visit, but there was no problem with the man.
If you just scream and yell, the men will urinate and run away.
There was no longer any fear for the man who boasted of a great sword and overwhelming power.
Even the wild boars and tigers that occasionally came down from the mountains bowed before the man’s power.
The masters of the powerful group known as Nanda Long also had to experience the bitter taste of defeat in the face of the man’s subversive power.
The rumor about the man spread throughout the central region on the waves of Gangnam.
A man of great strength lives in a mountain house somewhere in Gangnam, and many powerful masters were defeated by that man.
Rumors followed rumors, managers asked managers, and before we knew it, the man became a legend in Gangnam.
And the people gave the man a nickname.
King Nokrimryeok (綠林力大王).
The man became king, and his great sword became the fear of many.
Life took flight, and the man tasted all kinds of delicacies.
The man’s life was happy.
The perspective changed and ten years passed.
The mountains and rivers changed and the power in the central plains changed, but the man’s nickname did not change.
The man still had the great sword on his back and was feared by the people of Gangnam.
However, even the man could not avoid the aging of his body and the passage of time.
and.
The man fell to his knees while competing with the mysterious challenger.
Kang Ho Seon-haeng, the man who lost to the young challenger passed away.
Good and evil are always won and evil is defeated.
The man quietly closed his eyes, longing for his past glory.
However, even at the moment when breath ceases, even when the soul leaves the body.
The remaining memories of the body did not let go of the great sword.
Sticky blood, hard flesh.
The sadness of not being able to be with my master anymore, the cry of a man who sensed defeat.
It became resentment and seeped into the great sword.
It was the last and sorrowful death of King Nokrimryeok.
“…It was something like this.”
Fragments of broken memories within the fragments of a broken sword.
Objects that have been used for a long time become filled with resentment and seep into the soul.
My master’s mental consciousness also seeped into the fragments of the sword.
The memory of the sword that briefly dominated Harvey’s body, the fragments of the soul filled with resentment, the soul and the memories of resentment visible through the cracks.
“Stop reaching Buddhahood now.”
Now that I have seen all the remaining memories, all that remains is to safely transform the soul fragments into Buddhahood.
Now that I have seen the entire cause and process of the curse engraving resentment, it is possible to resolve it.
The Beheaded Sword Demon is a necessary monster and food spirit for Harvey.
In order to get it as a food spirit, you had to curse it with the sword.
“Do it.”
As he began to heal by raising his spiritual power, the curse hidden in the great sword that Woonggeomgwi was holding began to come out.
A crisp black energy, an unpleasant energy to anyone who saw it, flew into the air between the gaps in the great sword.
Like white smoke rising into the air.
As if he had no regrets, the curse just soared up into the clouds.
And then.
The curses of the swords stuck in Unggeomgwi’s body also began to disappear.
Occasionally, there were persistent curses, but they disappeared as Harvey increased his spiritual power.
However.
“Ugh.”
A curse hidden within the great sword penetrated into Harvey’s body.
The curse that pierced my skin and burrowed into my heart.
It stopped its violent movements and disappeared quietly near the heart.
” ..driving me crazy. “
It was easy for the curse to attack humans with malicious intent.
Witchcraft for cursing is used as long as there is a lot of human malice.
Therefore, the root of malicious curses is hostility toward humans.
It was something I should have paid more attention to just now.
Harvey frowned and patted his chest with his hand.
Fortunately, the curse that stuck just now had disappeared from the area near his heart, but the uneasy feeling still made Harvey uncomfortable.
“Tsk.”
The current situation was unpleasant, but the future situation would not be bad.
Even though he was freed from the curse, it would be a pretty good harvest if he received the Unggeomgwi, who was still unconscious, as a food spirit.
The swords on his back were still the same as before, but they were pure iron swords that had had all the curse removed.
Therefore, although it cannot display the power it showed earlier, its ferocity must have been lost.
“Form.”
Extend your hand forward and point towards Unggeomgwi.
Of course, the field of view is wide and wide.
Preparations for a formal contract slowly begin to take place within the body.
We scoop up the shadow and complete the preparations for the food spirit contract.
next.
“Gye(契).”
contract.
The person he wants to contract with is the giant railroad monster, the behemoth of a sword.
A beast of a sword that draws the sword from its back and uses it freely.
It’s hard work, it’s brutal, it’s overwhelming.
A sword monster that can embody anything.
Sigh!
The plane of the shadow gradually turns into a thread.
In fact, the thread wraps around the Unggeomgwi’s body before you know it, and it slowly engulfs the Unggeomgwi.
The animal’s body, which was spattered with blood, suddenly turns into pitch black darkness.
Joowoowoouk.
And slowly, the body of Unggeomgwi begins to sink into the shadows on the ground.
Leisurely, leisurely, as if devouring prey.
The shadow stopped expanding only after completely engulfing the Unggeomgwi’s body.
“Contract completed.”
Harvey’s eyes, which had been closed for a moment, slowly opened.
The contract with the Chamsuunggeomgwi has completely ended.
In fact, it is not a contract, but a forced master and servant, but now that great swordsman has no choice.
“Because I won.”
I had to resort to some shortcuts, but no matter what, victory was victory.
Even if Woonggeomgwi came to his senses and went on a rampage, the contract had already been completed.
A contracted food spirit could not abuse its power without the owner’s permission.
“Caw!”
“Kung!”
As the contract with Unggeomgwi was coming to an end, the three-legged crow and bone dog that were nearby slowly approached Harvey’s side.
He instinctively sensed that some sort of contract had been made between Harvey and Unggeomgwi.
“Good job, you guys too.”
Harvey looked around at his food spirits and smiled.
In this fight, the three-legged crow and the bone dogs played a big role.
If it weren’t for the bone dog and the three-legged crow, Harvey would have been hit by the sword and gone to the other world a long time ago.
“Now let’s go back quickly.”
I got a better reward than I expected, so now I have no regrets about this place.
There was no reward better than this for accepting a highly useful monster called Unggeomgwi as a food spirit.
The dogs nodded at Harvey’s words and flapped their wings, wondering if we were finally getting out of this hellish place! A three-legged crow that seems to be shouting.
Fighting.
Harvey takes his amber necklace off his neck and holds it in his right hand.
Woooo!!
Just like the three-legged crow did before, he slowly begins to infuse spiritual power into the pumpkin.
Then the pumpkin door slowly starts to open.
Soon, a halo of light began to leak out of the pumpkin, and the ray of light that escaped enveloped Harvey and his group.
Now, if I were completely caught up in the halo of light and lost my mind, I could return to my original world.
But.
thud.
thud.
thud.
” …what. “
Suddenly, the sound of something being crushed came from outside the valley.
The amber necklace is already slowly taking away Harvey’s consciousness in order to return to the original world.
Nevertheless, Harvey focused his gaze until the end toward the place where the sound was heard.
Is it another Chamsuunggeomgwi? While thinking about that and looking at the source of the sound.
“Poooooooo!!”
A giant monster that took the shape of an elephant was walking around the mountain and eating iron statues.
“No, what is that?”
When you are dumbfounded by the overwhelming sight and are about to laugh.
The intensity of the light grew stronger and flew Harvey’s mind to the other side.
