chapter 54
54 – #054 All according to plan
“…What?”
Chae Yu-ri was taken aback. She
She looked at me, who started laughing, and she seemed to have a hunch that something was wrong.
“Why do you look…?”
“Oh, just.”
I grabbed Chae Yu-ri’s neck.
She couldn’t kill her by strangling her, but there were plenty of other ways.
“Because you do crazy things like this, I think everything can end well.”
“What…?”
“The saintess said that death is a new beginning.”
I grabbed her by the neck of her Chae Yu-ri, lifted her up, and pushed her against the goddess statue behind her.
“We made many plans. When you guys were in the dungeon, after I woke up, the saintess and I talked all night and confirmed the possibility.”
“What are you…? Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly so calm…?”
“That’s because everything went as planned. Ah, it wasn’t in the plan that you killed them all like this.”
My plan was to somehow find and capture Chae Yu-ri, but I had no plan for Chae Yu-ri to go crazy and burn tens of thousands of people to death.
But the result is the same.
Chae Yu-ri came to the Goddess Church, and her saintess died.
“I have already checked several possibilities. While sealing Park Ha-young, cutting Min Sena’s body, and… Sealing Hwang Lian’s soul, I prune our many plans one by one.”
“What are you…”
“I was going to tell you to follow me, but you don’t have to.”
Kiki.
The door opened.
Outside the door, a woman dressed like a prisoner was waving her hand.
“Hello?”
“…Lian sister?”
“Do I look like Hwang Lian to you? I’m sorry. I’m not that kind of person.”
Appearing in the body of Huang Li An, Kramut Ah shrugged her shoulders and came up behind me.
“Is this the woman?”
“Yes. It might be a bit difficult, but…”
“What, what are you saying…!”
“What do you mean. It transfers the soul.”
Kramuta grabbed the body of the saintess.
She became a cold body, but her body was rotting due to demonic erosion, but fortunately her ‘soul’ had no problems.
“You, you can’t! Me with a saint?!”
“This is the final confirmation. If the idiot goddess can wear this ring only on the hero, if it is limited to the ‘body’ of the hero, then it’s worth betting on the last possibility.”
I somehow forcibly grabbed Chae Yu-ri, who resisted.
Even though it couldn’t physically harm it, if you were close to it at such a close distance, you could press it with any amount of force.
“Poetry, I hate it!!”
“You killed it. What’s wrong with entering the body of the person you killed?”
“Don’t be crazy! Hey, hey!! I’m not kidding! What a bullsh*t!”
“I don’t want to hear the words of a mass murderer who killed over 100,000 people.”
Kramut Ah laid her saintess flat on the floor, and I forced Chae Yuri to lie down.
“What is it? Are you trying to do that?”
“It’s noisy. Tell me what to do when you see my posture like this.”
“Aagh!!”
Suddenly, I was in a position to press Yuri Chae from above like Olympic wrestling, but I suppressed Yuri Chae as much as I could, holding her wrists and holding her against her saintess.
“Please, Kramut. I’ll leave everything to you.”
“Even if something goes wrong, I don’t know?”
“From the moment the saintess died, there is only one way left.”
Together with Chae Yu-ri, I held the saintess’ hand tightly.
“It doesn’t matter now whether the bodies are mixed or the soul wanders the Gucheon, whether Chae Yuri enters my body, or Chae Yuri enters Hwang Rian’s body. I only think about the possibility of success.”
“aaagh! You, do you think I’m going to get hurt like this?!”
Yuri Chae rubbed her hand on her floor and tried to draw something.
But I even held her by her other hand and held her down, clasping her hands behind her, preventing her Chae-yuri from using her magic with her hand.
“Hey. Chae Yu-ri. Thank you.”
“I’ll start.”
Baby Kramut squatted down between the saintess and Yu-ri Chae and put her hands together, and Yu-ri Chae struggled up to her legs.
“aaa!!”
Chae Yu-ri continued screaming and screaming at her, but soon her outburst began to change.
“Kahak, hahahaha…!”
Like her epileptic patient, Chae Yu-ri started shaking her body.
There was still divine power in her body, but rather, it was easier to replace.
We confirmed.
The possibility that other lifeforms from this world can dwell in the hero’s body.
We confirmed.
The possibility that the hero’s soul can dwell in other objects in this world.
We confirmed.
The demon king’s four arms contain a ‘soul’, and that soul has an ego like Kramutana and Titania.
“Hey, barding.”
I whispered to Chae Yu-ri’s faded dress.
“I will prepare your body separately. So please help me for a moment. As an undertaker, this is my promise.”
The dress is still dyed gray.
However, the dress and the barding slowly began to emit black light as if in response to my request.
“Oh, no…! You can’t be like this, Magap!! I promised! When I go back to Earth, I’ll let you live on your own!!”
“You idiot. That’s not what those trapped in the demon lord’s weapons want.”
“It’s like having a new body like me.”
Kramuta put her hands together as if putting her palms together, and soon put one hand on her saintess and the other on Chae Yu-ri’s shoulder.
“…Turn, turn, turn again.”
Slowly.
Light began to radiate from Kramutua’s hand.
* * *
That day.
The day I greeted the morning here with the saintess.
The day I confirmed once again that there was no reaction when I put the ring on her hand.
“I think we’ll need a hero’s body. I think that’s the best way we’ve planned.”
“…You mean changing souls?”
“Yes.”
The saintess’ proposal was extreme.
“It doesn’t make any sense to just change it. I die, and my soul enters the hero’s body.”
“It’s dangerous. It’s okay for someone else to enter the body of the saintess, but if the saintess enters someone else’s body…”
“That’s why I’m talking about ‘when I die’.”
The saintess held my hand tightly.
There was a feeling that the saintess’ hand trembled, but it must have been my trembling.
“An undertaker is a person who comforts the souls of the dead. That is to say, they take the souls out of the body and guide them. And with the help of those who exist in the state of spirits and experts, nothing is impossible.”
“The possibility of them betraying…”
“Even if there is, it’s not a very bad condition for them. The worst variable for them, the undertaker, will disappear from this world.”
Kramuta said it, and Titania also said it implicitly, but I am a person who acts as a great threat to them.
The one who defeated the demon king.
At this point when they lost their original bodies, there is no way to become stronger faster than me.
So I suggested it.
I’ll take a saint from this world, so you can do as you please.
Kramuta cooperated, and Titania also cooperated in her own way.
“If an opportunity arises later, do you really believe it will work?”
“You must believe. You must believe in the goddess, but you must believe in something stronger than the goddess.”
The saintess put my hand on her chest and smiled with her confidence.
“My heart wants to be with you. It’s a spiritual theory… But I believe. We will definitely succeed.”
“I’m anxious.”
“Don’t be anxious.”
The saintess patted me and hugged me.
“If it is a world where the hero who defeats the demon lord is not rewarded, then such a world should end. I would reject a world in which a person who overcame unjust trials and saved everyone is treated with contempt.”
“Saint.”
“I prayed every day. To the goddess. After the demon king fell, I hope the hero will be happy. But if the hero is not happy, then my prayers will not work. Such a god… How can I no longer do so? Can you believe it?”
“If the saintess said that.”
“How is it? If she thinks that the goddess is disrespectful for having something like this, that means the goddess is a moth.”
Something.
The saintess had a tendency to just go out.
“Mister Undertaker. You wouldn’t want to be called the Hero forever, either. The same is true of me. I sincerely hope that someday the day will come when I will be called by your name, not by the saintess. I’m not a saint…”
The saintess patted my back, put her mouth on my shoulder, and whispered.
“As your woman.”
* * *
Something flashed.
The front of my eyes turned white, and my vision soon returned.
And I saw.
Nothing has changed from before.
My vision was still the same, and I was quietly waiting for the results while suppressing Chae Yu-ri from behind.
Flinch.
Chae Yu-ri’s hand wriggled.
Her hand, which had been moving wildly until just a moment ago, trembled like someone who had just woken up from sleep, and I slightly raised my body just in case.
“…….”
Yuri Chae turned her head toward me.
Still with a ferocious face, but with a slightly relaxed face somewhere.
“…Goddess.”
Chae Yu-ri slowly opened her mouth.
“It seems that the incompetent goddess granted her wish in the end…?”
Respectful words.
Those words that Chae Yu-ri didn’t expect to come out of her mouth.
“You…”
“The prayer worked. There.”
Chae Yu-ri pointed to her saintess body.
The saintess was still dead, but her demonic flame could no longer burn the saintess’s body and began to slowly go out.
“Mr. Undertaker.”
Chae Yu-ri slowly raised her body.
“Would you wish her saintly soul to rest?”
“…….”
“From now on.”
Chae Yu-ri turned her head and kissed my shoulder exactly as she whispered.
“I will be your Chae Yuri.”
