I Became a Soul Eater

It did not take long for Count Saint-Germain to appear at almost every social party on the continent called Europe and spread his name.

First of all, he was handsome, rich, and well-informed. and mysterious People wondered how a man named Saint-Germain could attend all the social parties in distant countries without a carriage. And most importantly, he was no one’s enemy.

Naturally, I had no entangled interests with anyone in this world yet. I was able to approach anyone without hesitation and easily solve the difficulties that person is experiencing based on a lot of information and wealth.

However, thanks to the emotion of human jealousy or envy, enemies are born little by little. But more friends than that.

At the same time, I was able to naturally find out their ideas and dissatisfaction. And cautiously began to embrace.

The captured person was brought to meet with Merlin, who created the temporary headquarters of the Church in England. People who first met the existence of Merlin doubted its existence at first, but their doubts quickly disappeared in front of the magic that Merlin and I show.

From the beginning, I did not recommend that I become a Gaia believer. As a secret organization, after completing several missions, the truth of this organization is revealed and made a believer in Gaia.

Little by little, a small group of elites began to form.

And in the process, I was looking for Zurvan through the information network of the church members who absorbed Merlin’s knowledge and recruited him.

And I was able to learn about the people who crossed the dimension that Merlin met.

“You’ve met werewolves and vampires?”

“Yes, it was a long time ago, but such beings appeared in large numbers.”

Listening to the story, it is clear that they are the Beasts and the Vampires. I can think of other cases, but I think this is Imhotep’s work. It was said that Imhotep had received many beasts as wealth from the phase dimension he had created. Vampires said that they did not directly perform human sacrifices, but it would not have been difficult to steal a few.

According to the information obtained while traveling the world, there are records of Imhotep and Bastet in the past of this world. It is unknown whether this place is the origin of the two or not, but at least there were avatars of them in this world.

And if you look at the myths remaining on each continent, there were so many gods in this world. But where did they all go?

“So what happened to them all?”

“I killed them all because they are beings that cannot coexist with humans.”

“In the world I lived in, we still coexist and live well.”

It may be a bit difficult to say that the vampires who prey on humans coexist well, but at least the beasts are living without much friction.

“I don’t know how it is in your world, but the werewolves and vampires that appeared here are very aggressive and hostile to humans.”

Did you do some mind alteration? It is also questionable why the beasts and vampires were released here. There must have been a reason.

“Has anything changed before and after that incident?”

“Since then, a lot of strange things have happened. Huge monsters have emerged from the sea, and those with powers that ordinary humans cannot possess have been born. A lot more happened than that.”

Merlin talked for a while about a strange incident that had happened. It’s not like they were transferred to this world because they wanted to or they didn’t have that kind of power, but most of them were stories with sad endings.

Obviously, Imhotep is not alone. It is highly likely that it was a trick of the gods who tried to interfere in this world by taking advantage of Gaia’s power weakening. However, the original gods had already left this world long before that. I need to find out why If you search for the reason, you will find Zurvan, who should have existed in this world.

“It seems to be a trick of foreign gods or demigods who existed in this world.”

I told him what happened with Imhotep on the other side of the world.

“What on earth are you to fight and overcome such an existence?”

Merlin was very surprised by the story. In fact, Imhotep was nothing special. It wasn’t even a fight won. It’s just that Bastet interceded well at the right time. He’d faint if I told him about his victory over Utuka.

“Looking at the current situation, the world I lived in is much stronger, because there are quite a few wizards like you in that world.”

Of course, in the future, this side of the world will be much stronger. Except for the fact that he has lived a long time, Merlin’s skills are at the level of a typical high-ranking wizard. Although some magic has a little more strength. Lack of basic skills

“I guess so. Then how strong are you in the original world?”

“It will fit within five fingers.”

“Even if you say that, I can’t guess what level it is.”

There are things you can’t know unless you actually show them. I’m not a magician with a particular strength in destruction magic, but there are a lot of things I can show you in an appropriate way.

“It is not difficult to show.”

I brought Merlin to a desert in North America, very far from England. This is also one of the mythical ruins. As a result of the investigation, there was no particular harvest, but I thought that Merlin might know something, so I brought him along to have a look.

After taking them from England to other European countries a few times, they seemed to have gotten used to long-distance space movement.

At first, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. The subspace was also very coveted, so he gave me a suitable subspace ring.

“Where is this?”

“It is the desert of North America. I’m not sure of the exact name.”

Merlin began examining the remains of the stone buildings around which only traces remained. After looking around for a while, Merlin admired the ruins of the building.

“Oh, this is a place of great academic value. It seems to be ancient, but it seems to have developed greatly.”

“Can you feel anything?”

“Um, I don’t feel anything like that.”

I wasn’t expecting much, so I wasn’t disappointed.

“Then I’ll show you just once, so take a good look.”

Magic is learned just by looking at it. Merlin’s eyes were full of anticipation. It’s a little burdensome, but in fact, if you do it in moderation, you will be able to meet Merlin’s expectations.

I unleashed the attack and poured all the attack magic I could into the desert. Fire rains down from the sky and lightning strikes. I don’t know if it’s against humans. It is completely useless magic against opponents like Imhotep and Utuka that I have dealt with. Explosive magic was amplified and overlapped to create a huge explosion.

A feast of offensive magic that changed the surrounding terrain took place. It’s not that great magic for me right now. Just using the rage of the guardian spirit itself has much greater power.

But not so with Merlin. In fact, the shield that protects me and Merlin is much more powerful magic, but Merlin was shocked when he first saw this kind of magic. And I was half-prostrate on the ground, my legs loosened because of my close-up.

Merlin asked while trembling as he concealed the fact that he had finished the rough tour and solved it again.

“Everyone, are you a god?”

“no. I am still human.”

It’s hard to see me as a pure human being, but I still exist as a human being anyway.

“yet?”

“I had a chance to become a god, but I said I wouldn’t.”

Merlin looks at me with the look of the stupidest guy in the world. Where did the respectful expression he showed when I asked if he was a god a few seconds ago?

“What if I don’t like it, I don’t do it”

I poured water-attribute magic toward the blazing desert. Water poured over the hot desert and created a huge steam. I made it, but it’s quite spectacular.

After watching the scene for a while, Merlin approached the earth where steam still rose.

“Oh my God, the sand melted into glass.”

Merlin was observing the molten earth. Well, it can be surprising when you see it for the first time.

“I will be rich even if I trade in glass.”

“If you don’t do that, you have a lot of money.”

In fact, except for the early days when I crossed over to this world, I hardly ever used the gold in subspace. He robbed the safes of corrupt nobles and found gold mines that had not yet been excavated by humans and extracted them with material transformation magic.

In the other world, it is a gem that is not very valuable, but here, a gem called diamond has a great value. If there was a dwarf, he would have entrusted the work, but it was a bit disappointing. The world’s most expensive jewels could have been made.

However, there was something visible among the dug up and melted desert.

“That seems to be the trace of another ruin.”

Merlin must have seen it too. We approached the ruins sticking their heads out of the sand.

He summoned one of his alter egos and started exploring the ruins buried underground. The ruins buried under the ground were larger than expected.

“This is bigger than I thought.”

“Are you going to dig? It will take a long time.”

“No, I will do it sooner than I thought.”

In this case, it would be really convenient if you could summon the spirit of the earth and use it, but unfortunately, spirits do not exist in this world. Or maybe it exists, but I haven’t been able to find it yet.

If you don’t have teeth, you can chew with your gums. I unintentionally used earth attribute magic. Earth attribute magic is the slowest developing field among magic attributes.

At most, most of the magic is used when digging the ground, but since wizards do not want to do such things, development is more slow.

A slight modification of digging can also cause the ground to rise. However, the consumption of magical power increases exponentially depending on the area, and I am a little free in that area.

Even I couldn’t lift all of these large ruins at once, so I used magic to reveal parts of them on the ground at a time.

Looking at the rising ruins, Merlin exclaimed again and became excited. Merlin worked on the ruins I had made to rise until late into the night.

The reason I dared to bring these ruins out of the ground was because I had looked at them in advance through my alter ego.

The ruins that were already exposed were traces of houses, but these were ruins consisting of large and small towers of deformed shapes. It was also not a trace, but kept almost the original shape.

And on each of the towers, something like pictograms that I didn’t know were written.

“Can you read these letters?”

“Ancient hieroglyphs. I’m not familiar with it, but I’ve been doing some research for a while. Due to the nature of the text, it takes a little longer to interpret.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to get the dirt off and check the letters.”

Using water and wind magic with precision, he began to remove the soil from the buried tower.

“But it is strange.”

“what?”

“These hieroglyphs are not the ones used here. These are ancient characters from Central Asia.”

“Isn’t there a possibility that people from that country came over and lived here?”

“Of course there is such a possibility, but with ancient ship technology, crossing the Great Sea and building a village in the desert deep in the land? Wouldn’t that be difficult to understand? Or, like me, someone would have moved it here. Looking at the layout of these towers, can’t you think of something similar?”

Thinking that way, looking around, the layout was similar to Stonehenge, which Merlin had been guarding for a long time. Druids made something similar.

“This is where the ceremony was held.”

“Perhaps.”

Clearly, this place must have had something to do with God. It would take Merlin to interpret what these letters meant exactly, but he was glad he found even a small clue. Work began to speed up.
