Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 203

§ 203. Louise (6)

“How are you feeling? “Are you feeling dizzy or something?”

Louise asked, supporting Seongjin from the side.

“huh.”

Of course he was fine. Because my father, who possessed Lord Sharon, completely cured me.

However, Louise, who did not know this, still looked worried.

“You lost a lot of blood. After all, wouldn’t it be better to be seen by a member of the National Assembly?”

“are you okay. “Didn’t the paladin come and go earlier?”

“Of course, as you commanded, I only called the exorcist quietly. Haonde, my dear. While I was treating Hae-jeong, I noticed her presence a little… … .”

“huh?”

“… “No, it’s nothing.”

Louise shook her head and stood up.

Even the slightest worry had already been erased from his face, and only the cool-headed expression typical of a competent user remained.

“It’s long past meal time. “You’re going to be hungry, so I’ll prepare some snacks for you.”

Seongjin scratched his cheek as he watched her leave the room with a measured pace.

‘No way, Louise. Have you noticed that Sir Sharon has been possessed by his father?

The more you look at it, the more it becomes apparent. Even though the royal family is shedding a lot of blood, they don’t panic and handle things quietly.

He seems bold and quite quick-witted.

[What happened to you?]

After Louise left the room, the devil came to question Seongjin as if he had been waiting for her.

[Your father came here by borrowing the body of that crazy knight. But when I thought about getting treatment, the presence of your soul suddenly disappeared. She said the woman left the room without her too. What on earth happened?]

‘okay?’

Seongjin’s soul went to the flame dimension created by Seonghwang. However, the soul did not completely leave the body and the body did not die.

‘Does it feel similar to that? Even when the [gap] opened in the imperial palace, I felt as if my body existed in two places at the same time… … .’

Perhaps dimensional movement is not simply a concept of moving from one neighborhood to another over a long distance.

While I was deep in thought, the demon lord added excitedly.

[really. Don’t be surprised, Seongjin Lee! I discovered something amazing in that time! Do you know exactly what happened after you drank the medicinal tea earlier?]

It is said that at that time, the demon king was in his cozy nest in Seongjin’s head as usual.

‘Your nest?’

[okay. There’s a perfect place for your soul in your head. I like to sit there, rest my chin and look outside.]

Sit down? Are you holding your chin?

Aren’t you a soul without a body?

[But after you drank that tea, oh my! I wonder if something happened to my nest, and the area under my butt suddenly started to glow brightly.]

… Regardless of whether such body parts exist in the soul, such expressions are somehow unpleasant.

But my mind is shining, is that really true?

[Voila! It turned out that the place I had been making my home until now was Yeomsangjeong-an, right?]

The demon king, energized by the new discovery, was now stretching out his soul to the fullest in Seongjin’s head.

[Isn’t it huge? Mores also had a decision to burn! I hadn’t noticed because she had never shined before! For some reason, I thought it was a very cozy space for the soul to stay!]

‘… … .’

[Same as those twins. Unlike ordinary humans, it is located exactly in the center of the back of the head! With this, one thing becomes clear. That flame crystal that resembles a monster is definitely inherited from your father’s bloodline!]

iced coffee. Perhaps that is a characteristic of the Kornsim clan.

Earlier, Seonghwang briefly explained about their clan. From what I heard, it seems that the entire clan forms one huge mental network through soul terminals.

It makes me wonder if that’s a characteristic of group monsters.

[But you know what? My nest was a much more delicate and wonderful organ than the twins’! In the core of the icosahedron, which had no flaws at all, seven elegantly rising arches were exactly symmetrical and extended in all directions! I honestly have never seen such intricate and beautiful flame crystals before… … .]

The Demon King, who was talking excitedly as if he had a supercar in front of him, became puzzled when he realized Seongjin’s shocked reaction.

[…] Isn’t it surprising?]

‘No, whatever.’

Because I heard this from Seonghwang a long time ago.

Moreover, the success and events that took place at the funeral level were too dramatic to be surprised by every single thing. For a short period of time, the emotional exhaustion was extreme.

[Tch!]

When Seongjin didn’t show the expected reaction, the sarcastic devil bastard grumbled.

[It’s no fun like this! The things I have prepared for you over the past few days have been completed through this salt-and-pepper decision, but if you keep doing this, you won’t show it!]

‘Have you prepared something? what is that?’

Seongjin asked, feeling his interest suddenly pique.

Somehow, I had a feeling that the ‘preparation’ that the demon lord was talking about was not usually important.

I heard you often spend time alone in your head and procrastinating. Have you been doing that?

[Tch! it’s okay. It’s obvious it won’t be that surprising to you anyway. Just forget it. Don’t be disappointed after finding out.]

The Demon King was pouting and grumbling as if he was indifferent, but the emotions conveyed in Seongjin’s head were not like that at all.

Please ask. Ask me more.

My heart is pounding.

As if it were a heartbeat, a vibration full of excitement was coming from him without any filtering.

‘… It looks like you’ve really prepared something great?’

But this guy. Does he know that his feelings are clearly conveyed to Seongjin like this?

Seongjin, who felt somewhat sad, smiled bitterly.

‘What is that, huh? say it. I’m dying of curiosity.’

After coaxing and coaxing him for a while, the devil finally calmed down and confided in Seongjin, pretending that he couldn’t win.

[Do you remember when you robbed me of my spiritual eyes not long ago?]

How could you forget that?

Because of this, my optic nerves burned out and I almost lost the use of my eyes forever.

[After that happened, I thought about it carefully. Regardless of the method, the fact that you were able to share my spiritual vision means that you also clearly have a corresponding sense.]

When Seongjin first came up with the idea of ​​sharing the Demon King’s senses, the guy said that his senses were different from ‘vision’ and that it would be impossible.

However, contrary to expectations, Seongjin easily took the man’s spiritual eye and used it well to kill the Demon Lord. Although the results were quite disastrous.

[So, in the meantime, I have been touching various senses in your head from time to time and closely examining whether there is any part that agrees with me.]

Indeed, it seems that the reason he has been mulling over and over in his head for the past few days was because he was working on that kind of work.

‘I was giving up, but you were able to do that on your own?’

It must have been quite a bit of work, right?

Then the Demon King responded as if it were absurd.

[What are you giving up? I know very well that that’s not the case, so I thought I should prepare in advance when I have some free time.]

‘preparation?’

[okay. I’m sure your personality is such that you won’t hesitate to do it again if you feel it’s necessary, right? But I am the Fire Demon Lord, who owns the sword of Gehenna. If you blindly rob me of my senses like you did last time, this time I might really burn your brain completely. In that case, wouldn’t it be much better for me to find a safer way?]

‘… … .’

Seongjin could not deny the devil’s words.

And on the other hand, I felt a little gratitude towards the demon lord who had deliberately taken such trouble for me. It’s a feeling he never thought he’d feel from a bastard just a few months ago.

‘So, saying this now means that there has been some level of success?’

[of course. Now, look carefully.]

The demon lord, who was fiddling around with things in his head, finally shouted confidently.

[Voila!]

At that moment, a new scene truly unfolded before Seongjin’s eyes.

The world covered in the colorful light that I saw just moments ago.

‘This… … .’

The fire in the fireplace glowing blue, the warm blue air radiating from it.

Pink chills seeping in from the windows and walls.

I could even see people beyond the wall.

Judging from his presence, the yellow shadow standing outside the room clearly belongs to Lord Calmen.

And the shadows of many people moving between the upper and lower floors… … .

‘Is this amazing? Hey, devil! ‘You’ve really accomplished something amazing!’

When Seongjin let out pure admiration, the devil bastard said, “Hahaha!” He burst out laughing.

[How do you feel? The power of this Demon King! Do you finally understand the greatness of this body even a little?]

Seongjin felt curious and looked around.

The faint shadows moving diligently through the hallways were probably ordinary people, such as servants or maids.

On the other hand, people with bright blue or yellow colors are clearly knights with strong auras.

In the case of the yellow shadow moving vigorously in the back, it was a person with such strong aura that it glowed so brightly that it almost looked like gold.

Looking at the presence, it was clearly Lord Masaine. As expected, I am busy practicing whenever I have time.

[Actually, I was thinking it was a little strange that I had not achieved any results the past few days. No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find any sense of ‘spiritual vision’ from you. At least until this morning.]

The Demon King added an explanation to Seongjin, who was frantically looking around.

‘But how did you succeed?’

[It’s a medicine car.]

‘Medicine tea?’

[Yes, Seongjin Lee. Everything became clear because you drank it! The truth is that you don’t actually have spiritual eyes.]

‘… what?’

Seongjin was taken aback by the unexpected answer.

Do you have no spiritual eyesight?

So what was the feeling that day? And what happened to all the things I’m seeing right now?

[I also became aware of this clearly after your flame crystal was activated. The fact that it was not your spiritual eyes that were in tune with my spiritual eyes, but your decision to think about it itself!]

The demon lord continued his explanation in an excited tone.

It turned out that what he sensed was being received in the form of thoughts by the flame crystal, where it was transformed into visual information that Seongjin could sense.

[Actually, I thought it was strange from the beginning. Originally, the sight I see was a five-colored scene surrounded by spiritual light. But what I experienced while sharing your senses was completely different. It seemed as if all the possibilities of things in the world were unfolding in the form of light at once!]

‘Light of possibility… … .’

I felt like I knew what he was talking about.

When dealing with the Demon Tree, Seongjin experienced the sensation of seeing in advance the branches of the tree, each arrow, and even the flow of air.

[What I was robbed of at that time was not my spiritual eyes. I was simply robbed of the leadership of my vision and forced to share my vision with you.]

‘hmm.’

[That’s how I see what you see, and my spiritual eyes also follow your gaze. The thoughts created by that sense are received by the meditation crystal and converted into visual information, and that information is then repeatedly transmitted to me through your vision!]

He continued speaking so quickly without stopping that the guy who didn’t even need to breathe was panting.

[That complex, overlapping, inefficient information movement occurred simultaneously for every single object in the vicinity! So, how could the eyes and optic nerves have been intact to handle that? It is inevitable that everything will be ruined and necrotic!]

‘… … .’

Seongjin looked around, half-listening to the Demon King’s complex explanation.

Certainly, even though it had been quite a while since I received sensation from him, unlike before, I felt no pain at all other than a slight burning sensation.

‘I guess I finally found a way to solve it.’

[huh. Once I knew the principle, it was a pretty simple problem.]

The Demon King, having calmed his excitement a little, shrugged.

[This happened because you and I were forced to be tied to one narrow sense called ‘vision’ in the first place. So, before that happens, all I have to do is convey my thoughts and that’s it. Then, the flame crystal will automatically change your senses according to your perspective.]

‘The decision to burn… … .’

[okay. Your flame crystal is normally inactive, so it cannot receive external thoughts, but it seems to perform its own function as long as it transmits internal thoughts like this. Of course, if this goes on for too long, it will strain your nerves a bit.]

no. But this alone will be of great help.

Seongjin suddenly had a premonition.

Seonghwang had warned me earlier as a precaution. If possible, it is best to avoid drinking medicinal tea carelessly.

That means there is a possibility that there will be several situations in the future where Seongjin would consider drinking medicinal tea.

After thinking that far, Seongjin praised the demon king with a pure heart.

‘good job! Next time bear meat steak comes out, I’ll gladly eat two plates despite my reputation!’

[Mhahahaha!]

It was right then.

Tap, tap, tap.

From the other side of the hallway, I saw a very unique shadow approaching the room.

A slim new figure that alone emits a soft purple light among the yellow and blue shadows. Although the Aura activity is hidden in some way, there is a bright shadow that clearly indicates that the person is a strong Aura user.

Knock knock.

After knocking politely, Louise came into the room, pushing a tray with dinner in it.

“I brought you dinner, sir.”

Then, she was startled and looked straight into Seongjin’s eyes.

“My goodness, your eyes… … .”

After sharing his thoughts with the Demon King, the inside of Seongjin’s pupil was blinking with a faint red light that was difficult for an ordinary person to discern.

“Haha, Louise has really good eyes.”

Seongjin lifted his eyebrows at her and praised her.

The nose is really nice too. No matter how you look at it, this is not an ordinary servant.

“Oh, and Lord Calmen?”

At the prince’s sudden call, Calmen stuck out his face through the open door.

“Yes, sir?”

“Looking again, you still lack training. What is brightness? Be more diligent.”

“… yes?”

At Seongjin’s sudden beating, Carmen alone had a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what was going on.
