I Became a Soul Eater

I cleaned up the ruins that were revealed with Merlin and returned to Merlin’s house. I remembered the letters engraved on the tower, copied them as they were, and passed them on to Merlin.

While Merlin was deciphering the text, I again built my reputation in European society.

Now, not only nobles but also royalty started inviting me to their parties. In some countries, I even met the king. I realized that my reputation had risen again.

Even so, he did not neglect to find traces of God separately. And I continued to search for the whereabouts of Shark, who had led me here.

However, it was very difficult to find records of a person named Dong Bang Sak, whom I presume to be Shark.

He was treated as a legendary figure who did not exist in reality. Traces were found in several places that made it impossible to think that someone had intentionally manipulated the information like that.

Could Shaq have done that himself? It won’t be. If so, he wouldn’t have left his martial arts like that in the cave.

If so, someone else would have intervened, but it was difficult for individuals in the first place, and it means that a group with a special purpose moved.

I decided to bait them to catch them by their tails. At that time, an alter ego found an unexpected existence in the country called Joseon, which was attached under the Qing Dynasty.

First of all, I disguised myself as a Korean with illusion magic and went to meet him. He had an appearance that did not appear to be a pure Korean even at first glance.

He had a slim physique with a handsome face that did not look like a man, but his height was taller than the average of the country called Joseon. And, crucially, they had longer-than-average ears with pointed tips.

it’s an elf But not a pure elf. It’s a level that has come down through several generations. It was an elven lineage that might have been diluted a quarter or more.

It was said that beastmen and vampires came over in the past, so it seems that elves also came over. Even Merlin could not look at such a small country in Asia that is so far away.

I approached him, who was sitting on the veranda of the house, spending time like a hanryang, and greeted him.

“Hello.”

“Who are you?”

As a stranger greeted a person resting in the house and approached, as would be the case with anyone, he showed much more hostility than that. I must have had a lot of trouble since I was young because of that appearance.

However, because I disguised myself as a nobleman, I couldn’t openly show my disapproval.

“Are you out of work? In the middle of the day when everyone is working, the young man is leisurely sitting on the floor to kill time, so I’m curious.”

“exactly. I have no work these days, so I am taking a break.”

“Is it difficult to find work?”

“What if I don’t have a piece of land to live on? Even if I want to do the farming, no one will lend me the land, and even if I want to work as a farmhand, no one will use me.”

“That sounds like a big deal. Then what would you do if I gave you a job?”

The man with a slightly surprised expression at my sudden suggestion soon hardened his face coldly.

“Even if I starve to death, I won’t do anything strange.”

Do you think I’m some kind of cheater? From now on, I will have to disguise myself with a kinder looking face.

“It’s nothing strange, nothing bad. However, it may be a little hard on the body.”

“How much do you pay me? Even if you look at it like this, you’re married and you have a single mother, so you can’t do it with too few arms.”

“Will this be enough for the advance payment?”

I took out a bundle of Korean yeopjeon I had prepared in advance and threw it in front of me. A heavy sound echoed through the verandah where the man was sitting. I don’t even know exactly how much it’s worth. Before coming here, I robbed a hidden money box belonging to a person famous for being a dignitary.

The man’s eyes widen. Then, with trembling hands, he lifted the package of yeopjeon.

“How long can I work with this money?”

“One year? I will give you that much money every month.”

“Too much money. What do you want me to do?”

“I want you to learn martial arts from me.”

“You mean to be a disciple?”

“I am not a disciple. But it could be similar.”

The man didn’t seem to understand. Who in the world would teach me martial arts while giving me money? But I do have an idea too.

“I will tell you in advance, but learning martial arts from me can be dangerous.”

I plan to teach this elf descendant some swordsmanship and energy training. Even if you make a little progress, you will become a huge uninhabited by the standards of this world, and if so, things that erased the traces of Shark may appear.

“All right. My name is Hongki Kim. i look forward to.”

“Please take good care of me too. My name is Germain Akasha.”

I took off the disguise I had worn for our first meeting. And I didn’t even think of a pseudonym. Kim Hong-gi was surprised to see me suddenly changed in front of his eyes, but soon regained his composure.

“I thought you were an unusual person.”

“I came to you because someone of your ancestors might have a relationship with me. Did your father or grandfather look like you?”

“Yes, I heard that I resemble my grandfather more than my father.”

However, there was one question. Both Kim Hong-ki’s father and grandfather are no longer people of this world.

“Is your family a short-lived family?”

“I heard that. There are not many people who bought more than 1,000 people. But my father passed away in an accident.”

It can’t be. It’s a mixed blood with a long-lived species, but it’s said to have a short lifespan? Maybe someone was using their hands. If so, wouldn’t it have been better to cut the buds altogether rather than manage it like that?

“There are circumstances in which I cannot come here every day to teach you, so I intend to stop by once in a while and teach you little by little. It would be nice to focus on training, but if you get another job, you can do it while doing it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

From Kim Hong-gi’s point of view, there could be no better condition than this.

I started stopping by Hongki Kim once or twice a week or a month to teach him basic energy training and swordsmanship. And he increased the number of clones deployed in Joseon. In particular, he began to intensively monitor Kim Hong-ki’s surroundings. He thought that there must be someone watching Kim Hong-ki not far away.

When he was pacifying the social world and teaching Kim Hong-ki on the other hand, Merlin finally got results.

“It’s like a ghost and comes to know about it.”

As soon as I finished working on the first translation, Merlin shook his head as he saw me appearing.

“Because I am watching you. Still, it’s a courtesy.”

“Are you watching?”

“okay”

Merlin’s face twisted at my answer. I know what you’re worried about.

“If it’s because of the fun I had with Mrs. Emma a few days ago, don’t worry too much. Well, the age difference is over a thousand years, and it’s an affair, but it wasn’t forced, and I don’t care about that. But if I had a job, I would like to focus more on it. However, it turned out to be much healthier than I thought. I will live a thousand years more.”

Merlin’s face turned red like a ripe apple. I can’t even get hot Even if you fight anyway, you’re not even an opponent.

“Now, sir, is that a farsighted magic?”

“No, this is not magic. But I know that kind of magic too.”

Merlin’s body started to tremble. Are you that upset? I only teased her a little, but maybe she has a weak tolerance for teasing.

“There’s something I couldn’t tell you last time.”

“What?”

“Boo, will you please teach me magic? No please.”

“okay.”

Anyway, since Merlin’s skills were lower than I thought, I was thinking of teaching him a little.

“ok?”

But Merlin suddenly put on a blank expression.

“what’s the matter?”

“Can I teach you that easily?”

“Why not?”

Merlin seemed to think it was a great disrespect to ask for magic lessons. It is said that when Merlin first started learning magic, asking a wizard other than his teacher to teach him magic was a very humiliating thing among wizards.

But that has nothing to do with me. Of course, the other side of the world doesn’t teach anyone, but it’s much easier to learn than the world of wizards that Merlin experienced.

That’s how I started teaching Merlin magic. Merlin’s basic skills were at the level of advanced wizards, but the basics were very weak. It’s like a mercenary who didn’t learn swordsmanship in theory, but only learned it in practice. Maybe that’s why, even though he lived for a thousand years, his realm was still at that level.

Unexpectedly, there were two people who looked like disciples, but teaching was not difficult. Teaching both of them was at a very basic level, and it might be because Kim Hong-ki, not to mention Merlin, was an elf descendant, but he was quick to learn.

Rather, the problem was the contents of the hieroglyphics that Merlin first translated. The contents of the hieroglyphs were very difficult sentences and contents, perhaps because they had not yet been fully translated.

However, in Merlin’s words, since it was originally written in such a format, the content could change in a thousand different ways depending on interpretation.

First of all, Merlin was the only person I knew who could decipher these hieroglyphs, so I had no choice but to trust Merlin.

The contents of the hieroglyphs that Merlin interpreted were, as expected, a kind of myth.

In summary, a god came down from the sky and created the earth, water, and the sun. ruled over humans. It’s normal stuff so far.

The following was the problem. Another god or an unknown being appeared and fought the existing god and killed the existing god. and went away

It was the content. Merlin said to wait for the second translation, saying that there is still a lot of room for other interpretations. However, the process of the disappearance of the gods of the past, which I thought was a bit unraveled.

So where did the other god who killed the god of this place go and why? When I had such a question, Kim Hong-gi finally caught my tail.

He caught the human who was watching Kim Hong-ki. He must have thought that he was watching it secretly, but he couldn’t avoid the eyes of his alter ego.

It is quite a career in this field. I was the one who caught spies infiltrating in all kinds of ways in the days when ether was a kingdom.

He caught the man who was watching Kim Hong-ki’s house from afar and immediately moved to a deserted mountain. The place suddenly changed into a deep mountain, and the man was very surprised when he saw the first Saekmok-in standing in front of him. However, the highly trained man realized the situation and immediately attempted an attack.

He stabbed him with a dagger he had taken out of his bosom. It was a very sharp stab. But the opponent was bad.

A light blow on the wrist dropped the dagger and a slap on the cheek caused the man to stagger and struggle to keep his balance before collapsing.

“name”

There was no answer. Just like the stab from earlier, he is a well-trained man. It feels more like an assassin than a soldier or soldier.

The man tried to rebel again, but his will was not fulfilled. It was because he had already taken away his physical freedom with restraint magic.

“name”

There was no answer either. I didn’t cover my mouth, but I don’t think I’m going to say anything. If so, I’ve never done it myself, but I think it’s an opportunity to try torture.

Theoretically perfect. All 237 torture methods used in the torture chamber of the Aether Empire are in my head. For reference, that torture method is a unique method in which the number starts from number 1 and increases, but no one has exceeded 100 yet. Speak or die, one of the two.

After a while, a high-pitched scream resounded in the mountains, and the surprised mountain birds flew up.

I heard everything I could hear. I guessed it, but this watcher didn’t know too much in the first place. You only need to know the level immediately above that issuing the order. Because you have to go up step by step.

Kreureung!

Smells of blood and screams echoed in the distance, and the owner of the mountain came closer. In this country, there are a lot of beasts called tigers.

“I get a stomach ache if I eat this”

He took out a chunk of meat from the subspace, threw it, burned the body, and moved toward the next target.
