Episode 128
‘What is this?’
Sihyeon tried to check what item it was on the spot, but stopped.
This is because I thought it would be better to sit somewhere where I can get some fresh outdoor air to check items and organize various thoughts.
Sihyeon took the elevator down to the first floor and went to the small rest area for patients and their guardians set up outside.
I grabbed a cold soda from the vending machine, which was not suitable for winter, and sat down on an empty bench.
After opening the can and soaking his throat with cold water, Sihyeon opened the inventory.
It is the heart of the Geomje.
Does that mean that Poahim really ate the heart of the Geomje?
Sihyeon looked at the list of inventory.
There was an item there that really looked like a human heart.
Looking at it, I couldn’t help but feel a grotesque feeling.
He checked the items with a wry smile.
[Heart of the Sword Emperor]
“Wow… you really ate it.”
Si-hyeon, who had read up to that point, looked bored.
Eating a human heart would be almost like eating human flesh.
It was an act that could not help but feel a strong instinctive repulsion.
However, the fact that they did something like that means that their relationship is not really normal.
That’s why he left a will telling him to eat the heart.
Sihyeon shook his head and read the following.
-The Heart of the Sword Emperor is the only medium that connects Poahim and the Soul of the Sword Emperor. -The Heart of the Sword Emperor can be used to summon the Soul of the Sword Emperor. (Life Consumption)
“You can summon spirits?”
Sihyeon raised her voice and spoke to herself without realizing it.
The effect of the item was completely unexpected.
Since the item grade was legendary, I thought the effect would be unusual.
But it brings the soul of the person involved… .
I’m not some kind of shaman, but I summon a spirit and use it for something.
Sihyeon was curious and tried to summon the spirit of the Geomje, but stopped.
Because there was one thing that bothered me.
It was a phrase about life force consumption.
Those stats did not exist for the awakened.
Strength, agility, wisdom, physical strength, mental strength, magic power, and resistance were the last.
So what on earth does it consume?
Could this be the literal meaning?
If that was true, I was reluctant to use it.
As Sihyeon was thinking for a moment, a notification window appeared.
[Poahim recommends that you do not carelessly summon the souls of your friends who have entered eternal rest.]
Sihyeon, who was looking into something, smiled and muttered.
“Oh, I understand.”
I was already feeling uncomfortable in many ways.
The soul is not a thing.
It is completely different from ordinary items.
It wasn’t just a soul either, it was the soul of a man who was Poahim’s close friend and had reached the highest level.
I’m still not sure how helpful it will be, but I felt like I should at least avoid using it carelessly.
Sihyeon quenched his thirst with a drink again and stared blankly at the night sky.
Then, a sudden thought occurred to me and I said, “Ah.”
“Wait, then….”
Poahim has it all, even the heart of Acureluts.
It is said that even spirits can be summoned there.
If there were an awakened person of the Sword Emperor, there was no way such a thing would be possible.
If you think about it that way, it means that there are no awakened Sword Emperors in this world.
William, a paladin whom I met at Daeijakdo Island, said that there were many rumors about the Sword Emperor, but in the end, they all turned out to be nonsense.
If what I’m thinking right now is correct, it has to be that way.
Because the awakened person itself does not exist at all.
Of course, it’s still just a guess, but it felt like there was a high probability that it would happen.
“hmm….”
My thoughts changed.
I felt like I needed to call him out and have a conversation at least once as a test.
First, Sihyeon looked around.
Perhaps because it was a chilly winter night, there were no other people around.
I felt like I wouldn’t have to worry about looking like a crazy person even if I talked to a spirit.
“But how do you use it?”
Sihyeon tilted her head and muttered.
The Heart of the Sword Emperor was not something that could be summoned like other items.
It is in Poahim’s body.
So it seemed to be a hidden item.
First, Sihyeon summoned the spirit of Geomje in his heart.

Then suddenly something appeared in front of me.
“her….”
Sihyeon was a little taken aback by the appearance that was so much faster than expected.
There was a handsome man there who looked exactly like the Geomje I had seen in my memories.
I thought it was a soul, so I imagined something in a blurry shape, but it was very clear.
If you didn’t know it was a soul, you might have mistaken it for a living person.
Sihyeon got up awkwardly because it seemed impolite to just sit on the bench.
Looking at that, the Sword Emperor’s soul smiled softly.
-Rest in peace. Poahim’s awakener.
The doctor came directly to my mind.
“Did you know me?”
-Of course.
“I see. It is an honor to meet you like this, Sword Emperor.”
-Nice to meet you. Don’t worry, just sit down and talk.
Despite Geomje’s words, Sihyeon did not sit down.
Even though my body felt comfortable, my mind felt uncomfortable.
“It’s okay. This is comfortable.”
The Geomje smiled without saying a word.
He just smiled, but combined with his noble-like appearance, it felt elegant and classy.
If you have that level of looks, you won’t even feel jealous.
Even though it’s the same man, it’s somehow strange… No, not this one!
Think of a pretty girl.
Think of a pretty girl.
As I remembered the faces of beautiful women like Eunhye, Lee Seol, and Hairis, my mind became stable again.
I just felt like something was very dangerous.
It seemed like it was the result of not having a girlfriend for a long time.
Well, ever since I became familiar with Poachim’s rugged appearance, I had some doubts about his mental health.
I need a break, I need a break.
“…Is it true that the Sword Emperor is not visible to other people’s eyes?”
Sihyeon took a gulp of cold soda and opened his mouth again.
-I guess so.
“Hmm, I see. Are there any awakened people of the Sword Emperor in this world?”
-No.
It was as expected.
It was a reasonable guess.
“Is there a special reason why there are no awakened people?”
-I don’t know either.
Despite the continued questions, Geomje continued to answer with a gentle face.
Therefore, Sihyeon was able to continue asking questions with some degree of ease.
“I know that I can summon the Sword Emperor’s soul using the heart. But I wonder what power the Sword Emperor’s soul has….”
Sihyeon still remembered it clearly.
The Sword Emperor shattered all of the hundreds of ice arrows created by Hyris with a single sword.
Since it is the soul of a man who has reached such a level, it may have some power.
However, Sihyeon’s hopes were quickly dashed.
-The soul itself has no power.
Geomje’s eyes were smiling as if he guessed Sihyeon’s feelings when she said those words.
“…Is that so.”
-but.
“yes?”
-If there is a medium, the story is a little different. For example, your body.
“That means….”
Sihyeon seemed to know what he meant.
I’ve heard that there is something called a shaman who accepts the soul of a ghost into his body.
It seemed like he was talking about something absurd.
-It means what you thought. However, thinking about you, it would be the right decision to absolutely refrain from embracing my soul in your body.
These words felt like serious advice.
“Are you saying something will happen to my body if I do that?”
-Aren’t you already feeling it with your body?
“What does that mean…?”
It was when Sihyeon was about to ask a question with puzzled eyes.
Before I could even finish speaking, I felt extremely dizzy.
It felt like my eyes were spinning and my bones were shaking.
It was difficult to sit up straight on the bench, so Sihyeon collapsed on the ground.
In this weather, cold sweat flowed like rain.
My whole body was damp with sweat.
“Gasp… gasp….”
It was difficult to breathe properly.
I felt short of breath, as if my respiratory system had been subjected to severe abuse.
The muscles of my entire body seemed limp and weak.
-I’m always welcome to have a chat with you, but out of concern for you, it would be better to keep it as short as possible.
“Huh….”
Sihyeon recalled a phrase he had seen earlier about the consumption of vitality.
This is what the consumption of vitality is like… .
Earlier, Poahim had advised me not to disturb my friend’s rest, but if it was something like this, I would have refused even if I told him to.
-It’s going to be harder because it’s your first time. Then I need to disappear quickly for your sake. See you next time, Awakened One of Poahim.
The soul of the Sword Emperor disappeared as quickly as it came.
I didn’t even have the presence of mind to say goodbye.
Sihyeon was writhing in pain.
At least I had hope that things would get better now that my soul was gone.
Still, the vision did not occur for a while.
I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.
“Delhi!”
Then suddenly a woman’s voice was heard.
At first, I was so dazed that I thought I was hallucinating.
But it came again.
“Deli, are you still in pain?”
Sihyeon struggled to lift his eyelids and check for someone.
Even in the midst of hardship, Sihyeon flinched without realizing it.
… No, why are you out there?
It was Hiris.
I was able to recognize it clearly because Poahim showed me the memory on video.
It was really the worst timing.
I hadn’t made up my mind yet, and I didn’t even have the energy to speak properly.
My mind wasn’t in a good state either.
There is no way you can think properly and react in a situation like this.
“Let’s go to the hospital room quickly.”
Hiris seemed to be supporting Sihyeon, but then he hugged her.
It was already my second time being hugged by her.
‘no… If you hug me so suddenly… .’
It wasn’t cold and I was wearing thin clothes so I could feel my body touching my body.
There was a faintly pleasant scent coming from her body.
Her worried eyes met Sihyeon’s narrowed eyes.
No matter how out of your wits you are, this is a bit of a strong stimulus.
Sihyeon closed his eyes again and took a hard breath.
I was embarrassed.
If you go into the hospital room with Hiris like this, your family will think you had a late-night tryst with her.
‘It’s okay…’ .’
I opened my eyes again and tried to say it was okay, but my voice wouldn’t come out.
Meanwhile, Hiris walked toward the elevator with great strides.
I don’t know what kind of woman is so strong and fast.
I felt that several people sitting in the first floor lobby watching TV were looking at me curiously at the strange sight of the man and woman seemingly swapped.
The elevator door opened and Hyris entered, carrying Sihyeon.
She pressed the 10th floor.
Knowing the location of the hospital room, it seemed that the woman who was said to be his ex-girlfriend who came to the hospital room was Hiris.
Anyway, now I can’t take it out or put it in.
Sihyeon was panting as he thought about how to explain this situation to his family.
Tiing.
The door to the 10th floor opened.
Without hesitation, Hiris headed to the hospital room.
And opened the hospital room door.
