Episode 72
Episode 72: Unexpected results
A dark purple magic lingers over the scorched and dug-up ground.
It is the magic power of the other world that they summoned through ritual.
Normally, the moment I intruded and ruined the ceremony, it would have been scattered in all directions, but this magical power still remains thick on the ground.
This is probably because it is not magical power that comes from a being of an appropriate level.
‘Did you say that it is better to do the work as a servant at the master’s house?’
One who exists at the source of the universe.
The most innocent and pure one created by the chaos boiling in the deepest part of the abyss.
An amorphous evil that will make you cursed just by mentioning his name.
[Blind and foolish]
It’s a strange name for someone who is like the final boss.
‘It has to be that way. In any case, it is more like a concept or law rather than a god with will.’
Therefore, borrowing his power is not as difficult as you might think.
Unless you are an alien race born with a special body or mind, it is impossible to control that power or pay the price… … .
Even I don’t know how to disperse this profound and powerful magic.
Of course, there is a spell called [Retirement of Power] that has the power to drive out the influence of otherworldly gods, but it is just a basic spell with clear limits.
‘I don’t know if I learn it later through a grimoire or something… … You can’t do it with basic magic.’
No, but… … What if you don’t scatter it?
Maybe you can absorb this and control it… … Or is there any way to store it somewhere?
No, there is a way.
The lumps of flesh still writhing nearby.
These are magical creatures with a short lifespan that I temporarily created with my magic. What would happen if you fed these guys this magical power?
Of course, because the ritual stopped midway, the density of remaining magical power was very low.
Compared to the main body’s magical power, it is just a small aftereffect, but… … If I can handle this, there will be a lot of areas where I can use it.
‘The flesh I grew up with may be ruined… … This doesn’t have a long lifespan anyway… … .’
It’s not something I’ve done for the first time.
I’ve done similar things in games a few times, so I know some of the theoretical aspects. Of course, at that time, there were dedicated magic tools or there were appropriate characteristics for them. It’s not easy.
But on the other hand, it is no more difficult than turning Lee Chang-hyuk, who was a mutant into a lower-level body, back to a human.
In any case, safety measures are necessary.
Fortunately, even in that commotion, traces of the magic circle and ritual created by the parasites remain. I placed magic stones from the parasites’ bodies everywhere and revived their consciousness.
Then, he gave a command to the lumps of flesh to merge them into one and activated several magic circles.
Colorful magic circles fill the warehouse in an instant.
The parasites’ magic circle and that will serve as a safety device.
[Retirement of authority]
It was not activated to disperse the magical power gathered here.
It is too dark and rich a magical power for me to manipulate or accept, so I need to weaken its power.
Tsuzzzzzzzz… … .
My magic is overlaid on the magic of a great being.
The magic circles emit light all at once.
[Evil gaze]
I activated an evil gaze that forced my influence on the evil being.
Although the direction is a little different, I manually convert each part that lacks compatibility to the form I need right now.
The magic power I am trying to control is pure power itself that has already lost its will or direction.
Hear my commands.
From now on, I am your master.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .
The purple magic power begins to fluctuate.
Okay, it works.
I lifted the butcher’s hook in my hand.
[Absorption]
Whioooooo… … .
The magical power of the other world that had accumulated around me turns into a swirling vortex and passes through the dozens of layers of magic circle I created.
Magical power that flows like a giant ring and is slowly converted. It is again absorbed into the butcher’s hook in my hand.
“greatly… … It’s heavy… … .”
The parasites have been serving the [Blind and Foolish] since before humans walked the Earth.
They have unique characteristics that allow them to absorb this magical power.
That is why they have used this heavy magic for their own reproductive purposes. But I don’t have that characteristic. I must proceed with this work solely with my magical power and sensitivity.
[The presence of great beings shakes your spirit. If you can’t stand this influence… … You will no longer be a completely different person than before.]
[Attempt to resist the influence of otherworldly gods with your mental strength stats. Judgment of reason… … failure.]
This was probably a very difficult decision.
In any case, it would have inevitably failed.
Pachijijijik!! Pachijijijijik!!! Pachachajwajjwa!!!
A bright blue spark bursts out from the top of my head again. It is a violent reaction that is different from usual.
[System: The exclusive attribute ‘Abyss Madness’ is activated. Changes the result of the sanity check to success.]
Although I kept swearing… … [Madness of the Abyss] is a true morale trait. It shakes up the fundamental principles that make up the difficulty level of [Cthulhu World].
It has been done. Somehow, I was able to gather and control the magic power around here. If desired, this magical power could be used to create an absurd level of destruction or a miracle powerful enough to shake the laws of physics.
‘But I don’t have anywhere to use it right now.’

Anyway, in the end, you need a place to store this magical energy.
Coincidentally, I have a place like that. A lump of flesh that absorbs the bodies of parasites, their genetic information, magic power, and their unique characteristics.
There is ample possibility of developing organs or characteristics that can accept the magic power of [Blind and Dumb One].
I began to break down the magical power that I had concentrated into one point and slowly inject it into the flesh.
The flesh begins to decompose as it absorbs new life and magic.
It seemed as if it had become flowing magic power itself, a foam of scattered light… … The body with physical properties is reconstructed again.
that… … It was a small egg the size of the palm of one’s hand.
“egg?”
Looking closely, it doesn’t look like an egg that can be dismissed as an egg.
It was a small lump that seemed to be made of human body parts tangled and compressed. It is a small object with a bizarre shape that appears to have a crumpled and tangled human body embossed on a small egg-shaped body.
And it was a small creature with a warm body temperature, a small egg with greater potential.
… … It may have been a grandiose explanation, but it boils down to it.
Is this your first time making something like this?
Even the tooltip window does not appear. What on earth have I made?
… … I don’t know.
I’ll have to properly investigate this later when I get home.
“Is this the end anyway?”
Now let’s go back.
When I came outside the warehouse, I saw Chae Taewon waiting.
“What about you, young lady?”
“You’re in the car.”
Chae Taewon answered with a pensive expression.
When I look inside the car, I see Jeong Hyun-ah sitting in the back seat. After checking the condition, I was able to understand why Chae Taewon was making that expression.
Jeong Hyeon-ah was still just looking up into space with a blank expression. In other words, the hypnosis has not yet been resolved.
“Oh, that’s no big deal.”
“Can you possibly help me?”
There are many ways to wake up. But maybe that’s not so dramatic.
“It’s kind of hard to do it here. First, something more dangerous could happen, so let’s go back to the chairman. “There are methods you can try once the surroundings are stable.”
“Uhm… … All right.”
It is not a condition that is harmful to the body anyway. Mentally, it’s the same as getting a good night’s sleep, so there’s no problem with sleeping for an extra 30 minutes. Jeong Hyeon-ah is going to wake up in front of Cheong-ho.
So we moved back to Cheongho’s country house located on the outskirts of Paju.
Yang Seo-ho and the police are still in a standoff with the Triad’s minions. Judging by his condition, it appears that there were several physical collisions while he was away. They both seemed to have lost a lot of strength.
Of course, Yang Seo-ho was still cheerful. Even when everyone was on the verge of falling out of exhaustion, he still steadfastly screamed despite the chaos.
“Ah, Mr. Cheongho! Let’s stop giving up now!!! Do you think I’m doing this because it’s fun?!!!”
In fact, if Yang Seo-ho was in a situation where he was showing off his skills, he would not have been able to hold on until now, but would have been completely suppressed in less than 5 minutes. No, is that all he is? If he had planned to do so, he could have destroyed Cheongho’s country house entirely.
Regardless of whether they are gangsters or not, as long as the opponents are human beings with Korean nationality, they are ultimately only objects of Yang Seo-ho’s protection.
Chae Taewon approached the center of the chaos.
“The lady is back! “Please step aside now!”
Yang Seo-ho, who heard Chae Tae-won’s words, tilted his head for a moment, then pointed the loudspeaker at Chae Tae-won and spoke.
“what?!!!”
A shock wave that rings loudly. The car windows are vibrating.
Chae Tae-won, who was directly hit by the shock, frowned and hesitated slightly, but did not lose his confident spirit.
“It means the situation is over. “She’s back now, and we don’t need you guys anymore.”
Yang Seo-ho tilted his head with an indifferent expression and looked in the direction of the car, that is, in the direction where Jeong Hyun-ah and I were.
“Oh, I see. Who’s riding over there? “Can I come a little closer and take a look?”
“It’s not possible.”
“really?”
Yang Seo-ho frowns and scratches his chin. It’s scary. I understand Chae Tae-won’s position, but it is not a good decision.
This just creates a new stuck situation. Wow, I can’t do it… … . Before she began to display her skills in earnest, she activated her magic. She is the same magic that fooled Yang Seo-ho once.
[Tangled identities]
[Hazy presence]
[A gentle whisper]
An illusion of another person’s face is overlaid on the mask. Once the magical illusion was fully established, the face of someone I had never seen appeared in the car’s rear-view mirror.
The only personality is an ordinary face that cannot be found even if you wash your eyes, and a face with a blurry image that was specially tuned and realized through magic. In that state, I got out of the car with the hood of my hoodie covered.
“What is that again?”
“Administrator, how about you go back now?”
“why me?”
“The fact that we saved the young lady means that we have subdued the kidnappers who kidnapped the young lady.”
“… … “Where are they?”
“It’s in a warehouse near the old publishing complex. “Please step aside and I will give you the exact address.”
“Tell me now.”
“Can you please step aside?”
Yang Seo-ho frowned again and then shouted at the police officers behind him.
“Fortunately!! It looks like the little daughter of our great Republic of Korea has returned safely!!! Let’s all applaud and withdraw to celebrate this auspicious situation!!!!”
Clap clap clap clap.
Seeing the police officers start clapping with rotten expressions brings tears to my eyes. I can’t believe that the people’s staff, who are supposed to protect the people, are suffering like this under that crazy woman… … .
Only after confirming that the police were starting to retreat did I give Yang Seo-ho the address.
“I’m really busy so I’m leaving today too… … The third time doesn’t go away. “You can really get behind.”
Yang Seo-ho left after saying strange things that were a mixture of polite language, informal language, and threats.
Seeing that the word third is included, it seems that the target of the threat is me, not Cheongho.
“Well, do whatever you want.”
There is nothing else to see anyway.
… … But if we ever meet again, it would be better to make a different face.
