I Became a Soul Eater

I took Howard and returned to my office in the Akasha estate. Bastet, who had been waiting for Howard, was lying on the window sill and slowly got up.

[Stupid Witchbeast]

He glanced at Howard, said a word, and jumped out the window.

“No, as soon as I saw it, it was too much!”

Howard protested, but Bastet was already gone.

“But you came all the way here to see me and waited for me.”

“That’s right”

And Howard’s plan to infiltrate the Tempest estate began to be discussed.

“From now on, my name is Ward.”

“If you’re going to use a pseudonym, how about something cooler or different?”

“No, then I’m confused”

Oh, yes you would.

“What is your identity?”

“How can you make one?”

“No, that’s not difficult, but what kind of status do you want? A descendant of a fallen knight family or a mercenary.”

“hmm···. Because the article has already done it once. Would you like to become a mercenary? No, I tried this too, is there anything unusual?”

It’s true that I was knighted, but I know that I’ve never had a proper life as a knight, but isn’t working under someone with that personality itself a problem?

“How about the descendant of a prestigious family?”

“Oh, might that be okay?”

That’s how I started to create Howard’s identity. He came up with a family that was moderately prestigious in the eastern continent, but then went extinct, and disguised himself as the last descendant. I made the family seal similarly according to my memory.

“Then, are you going to buy a decent house in the Tempest estate and live comfortably?”

“Hmm, isn’t that so boring? First of all, if you introduce me to Argin, I will make sure he can’t get rid of me unless he hires me, then I’ll just reveal my identity.”

I didn’t know what he was trying to do, but he set the rhythm. Whether it is a race that lives leisurely like elves or works like crazy like dwarves, this problem arises when humans live a long time.

If I had started to live long as a human being rather than a soul, I would have gone insane. Howard was pretty good.

Didn’t the former Earl Ctolari, who served Ctula, eventually resign from his position because he couldn’t stand the spirit?

I handed over a mansion I owned in the Tempest estate by selling it to Howard.

Howard settled in the Tempest Manor under the name Ward Prusen, and a few days later I visited the Tempest Manor and took Howard to visit Argin.

“Long time no see. lord”

Even when he visited the strongest human on the continent and the duke of the empire, there was no special request for an interview. Of course, this is a privilege that only I can enjoy.

“I knew it worked. It’s really great.”

After the underground monster’s hunt, he hadn’t particularly met Argin. However, he knew that Argin had made great strides in recent years.

Argin has finally crossed the wall. I don’t even know what exactly to call this step. Maybe it’s the first time as a pure human being? No, it might be difficult to see Argin as a pure human being.

“I was lucky.”

Argyn was humbled, but I didn’t think it was luck. It’s so scary to even try to kill a genius.

Howard, or the young aristocrat who should now be called Ward, who was standing next to him, was surprised, his eyes wide open, as if he had recognized Argin’s state.

“this person is?”

Argin looked at Howard first.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Ah, he’s an outstanding talent I found, and he said he would stay in the Tempest Manor, so he helped me settle down. I begged him to meet a famous swordsman on the continent, so I brought him.”

“It is called Ward Prussen. It is an honor to meet you.”

Howard introduced himself quite plausibly. It was a young aristocrat from the East Continent who could see if he had practiced.

“It’s embarrassing for you to paint your face with gold. This is Argin Tempest.”

In this way, Argin is also a duke of an empire.

He kept his mouth shut, but could Howard find something to do in this Tempest estate? I’ve never done administrative work, and I have no talent, so I can’t expect it, and if I’m good at it, it’s fighting. Even thanks to Argin’s father-in-law Eltis, the Tempest Territory is a place where there are almost no petty thieves, let alone back alley gangsters. There is not a single group of common bandits near the territory.

If he had to create a position, he could show some of his skills and join the Knights, but Howard’s personality didn’t seem like he would try to do that.

After introducing each other and having a chat over a meal, Howard secretly revealed that he wanted to serve in this territory as well.

“It would be appreciated if a person as outstanding as Lord Ward offered to serve in the Tempest Territory.”

“Isn’t it? ha ha ha!”

Howard’s elated face burst into laughter. And after a while, Argin said that he had something to say to me and politely issued a congratulatory order, and Howard withdrew with a bright face.

“Then see you next time.”

After Howard disappeared, Argin cautiously opened his mouth when he could not be seen from afar.

“I thought I was getting pretty strong too, but Mr. Howard is really strong.”

“Did you know?”

“Yes, I don’t think I would have noticed it before, but I felt a unique energy.”

“How did you know you became stronger?”

“I don’t feel the state.”

I wonder if this ignorant monster has reached the level of a true half-body.

“But pretend you don’t know for a while and accept it”

“I thought so. There was a position where someone like Howard was needed.”

“Okay, pamper yourself, when will this opportunity come again?”

“hahahaha! is that so?”

Argin seemed very amused at what he was thinking. It was a moment when a dark future hung over Howard.

“Would you like to see the results of my training while you are here?”

“Has the swordsmanship been completed?”

“It’s not perfect or something called swordsmanship, but it’s good enough to show you.”

“Then see what”

I followed Argin to the Gazoo-only training ground. If there is a building that the Duke of Tempest put the most effort into, this is it.

It is not an easy task to create a gymnasium with durability that can withstand even if a grand master trains freely. It was just close to an empty vacant lot, but it was a place where all of the Dwarf construction techniques were contained.

“Do you have that demonic shell from before?”

“huh? It still exists, because even the Dwarves haven’t created processing techniques yet.”

I took out some of the subterranean beast’s shells from subspace. Argin put it in the middle of the gymnasium and returned to where I was standing. The distance is about 50 meters.

In fact, this distance is nothing to a grand master. They were monsters that would emit auras dozens of meters if they wanted to.

However, Argin did not hold the sword. However, since you can pull out the aura with just your hands, that shouldn’t be a problem.

However, the next moment, the skin of the Demon Beast in the middle of the gymnasium just split into two halves. Argyn just stood still and did nothing. Mana, aura, meta energy, I couldn’t feel anything.

If I had to look for something similar, it would be my spatial authority. But even that felt a little different.

“What technology is that?”

“I thought a lot about what to do when I met an opponent who was useless with any existing swordsmanship. Then I thought of the skill that the lord showed me. After thinking a lot about how to implement the master’s technique with a sword, I came to a realization. And it’s a skill you get. I’m not sure how to describe the technology itself. To put it as simply as possible, I think it cuts with the heart.”

Converting thoughts into physical force? In a way, there is a part similar to the way I record.

“And there are things like this.”

Argin’s figure disappeared before his eyes and appeared in the center of the gymnasium. Then, Argin, who picked up the shell he had cut, reappeared beside me.

It looks like space movement, but it is different. This is moving at an incredibly fast pace.

“Is this a new mobility technology?”

“I thought it wasn’t just the attack. If there is no way to avoid it, isn’t it just one hit and die?”

Indeed, this method might be useful when fighting a being with a divine power. Just in case, I took out Mistiltein and gave it to Argin.

“How do you feel?”

Argin focused his mind on Mistiltein. But it was soon returned to me.

“sorry. I do not know.”

Isn’t Argin, who has grown to this extent, also the owner of Misteltein?

“What is there to be sorry about, Argin? I’m grateful for all the hard work you put in. Still, I got an iron stick made by Setas, so I might have a use for it.”

“All right.”

After parting ways with Argin and talking with Howard a few more times, they moved to the New World. Another small incident happened here.

The protagonist of the case is Antariel. After working hard for the past two years, Antariel, who got along well with the different races, had an accident.

In fact, it’s a bit difficult to even call it an accident. In a way, it is also something to celebrate. Antariel dated a woman and impregnated her.

She even impregnated both an elf and a beastwoman at the same time. And they built a house and started living together with the two of them.

“I came to hear the news.”

I handed over the gift I had prepared in advance.

“Thank you.”

I winked and summoned Antariel to a place a little further away from home.

“Is this some kind of immortality study of yours? Depending on your answer, I may not let you go.”

“similar.”

However, Antariel admitted it without hesitation.

“Is it something like injecting your spirit into a child?”

The method of transferring one’s spirit to Jangsaengjong’s child was a method that could be called a kind of immortality. Black magicians with high levels sometimes extend their lives by implanting their spirits into young people. Of course, it has serious side effects, so it is a method that even warlocks are reluctant to use.

“no. Do you know what kind of warlock I am?”

“Then what research is it?”

“It’s not research, I’m just trying to leave my existence forever the way creatures in this world can.”

What, then, is it simple breeding? Why is it difficult to explain what can be easily explained?

“And I will pass on the results of my lifelong research to my descendants. It will bear fruit someday, and in that way, one of my descendants will become a god.”

“Why aren’t you human?”

“For now, there are no humans here. Oh, and there’s Lily. However, humans are imperfect beings by birth. Of course, that part is the same for heterogeneous people, but humans have a short lifespan, so this is a fatal problem. That’s why I chose a different race.”

“Why did you exclude dwarves?”

“I also have aesthetic standards.”

oh that’s an acknowledgment Dwarf women are difficult for other races to recognize as women. But isn’t that the same for beastmen?

For now, I understand Antariel’s plan. If Antariel was going to do something similar to the warlock, I had the idea to get rid of it today.

“You will raise your children with care, right?”

“Of course. They are my children.”

what if it happened I have a sense of responsibility, so I will not starve my wife and children.

“Then, concentrate on raising children diligently.”

“Did I buy it?”

Did you know that I had a desire to kill you?

“Why would I kill you if you said you would give birth to a child and raise it well?”

“It seemed like it would be you.”

“What do you see people as? My sister says, but even if you look like this, you are a saint.”

Antariel chuckled. obviously laughed would you kill me?

After parting with Antariel, the place he visited was Nivea’s territory. Nivea’s territory was not a rapid development, but it was steadily growing and becoming a good place to live.

Nivea’s house was also very simple for a lord’s mansion, not a cabin, but he moved into a newly built two-story house.

It was Peace who recognized me before Nivea. This beastman boy grew faster and bigger than normal beastmen because of how good Nivea fed him.

“mister!”

The piece that runs at full speed and embraces is very threatening. You are no longer a little puppy walking on two legs. It feels like being attacked by a bear. But I persevered. If you’re like a normal person, one place might be broken. Peace also covers the opponent by doing this only to me.

“Ouch!”

Peace has gotten stronger. I made the sound of the wind come out of the mouth of the master class warrior. excellent.

If he taught them how to fight a little, even now, quite a few knights would not be able to compete with them.

“came?”

I saw Nivea smiling and walking out through the hair tufts of Peace covering her eyes.
