<Mushin Returns to Level 2 Episode 553>
[In the past, a request came to me from the World Tree Alliance.]
“They asked you, the undead, for a request?”
[I’m trying to save a guy named Gilgamesh, and I said I also want to test necromancy.]
Seong Ji-han recalled the fragment of Gilgamesh he had obtained last time.
The fragments that were planted on the three heads that resembled Seong Ji-han were.
I gave him a blue gift and even upgraded it.
As a result, the upper limit of the increased stat is +30.
In order to improve the current ability, it was urgent to raise the level of the gift ‘Blue Air’.
“But isn’t saving something a green manager’s specialty? “I’m glad I asked you to do it.”
[Your route is completely opposite to mine, right? He gave me a part of Gilgamesh’s body and tested my abilities. Actually, I didn’t even know about Gilgamesh when I received the request. Because I only sent one piece of flesh.]
“Just the flesh?”
[uh. I analyzed it all and figured it out.]
It’s amazing what you figured out with that.
When Seong Ji-han nodded, Calaine tilted her head.
[But how come you seem to know something? I’m not that surprised.]
“I did get a fragment of Gilgamesh while robbing the Alliance’s lab.”
[Oh yeah? Then, by any chance, was the location of the laboratory a ‘Cosmic Tree Root’ series planet?]
“no. “It wasn’t that neat.”
The roots of the space tree.
To the planet that Yggdrasil had been subject to since the time of the Constellation before he became the administrator.
It was a place where at least an S-class world tree was located.
‘The last time we invaded, we faced quite strong resistance.’
Of course, the biggest problem there is.
While absorbing the S-class World Tree, he absorbed too many enemies.
So after that, rather than the root planet of the cosmic tree, I decided to rob the lower level planets… … .
“Is the lab you know at the root of the cosmic tree?”
[uh. When I completed the request and returned the flesh to the World Tree Alliance, that was the location.]
“hmm. “I guess I’ll have to prepare and attack there.”
As for the roots of the Universe Tree that I robbed last time, the original target was the World Tree, so it was easy to achieve the goal.
This time, since we had to find the fragments of Gilgamesh, it would take even more time.
Then it won’t be easy to hit and run, and Yggdrasil might descend directly.
Rather than taking a portal like going to the next town like now, careful preparation was needed.
[Rather than attacking the space tree’s roots right away, I recommend looking for more fragments at other laboratories. Yggdrasil’s defense posture will definitely be stronger than last time.]
“That would be a good idea. Calaine, please tell me the location of the lab you found out earlier.”
In Seong Ji-han’s words.
A light sparkled in Calaine’s eyes, and planetary coordinates came to mind.
[These are the coordinates where I returned the flesh.]
“okay. Besides this… … .”
Meanwhile, Seong Ji-han showed a collection of coordinates for the World Tree Alliance that he had previously captured from the bulletin board.
“Other than these planets, if you know of any planets belonging to the World Tree Alliance, please let me know.”
[ah. okay. I will inquire and find out. then… … Are you able to communicate with Battle.net?]
“Some functions have been restored, but communication is not possible. “I’ll stop by often, so hand it over then.”
[Yes, the head. I’ll be ready.]
Seong Ji-han asked Calaine to investigate.
‘Now I have to plant a shadow on Kim Ji-hoon.’
After finishing my work here, I returned to Earth.
* * *
Penthouse living room.
“Wow, so the Shadow Queen is the one who created that male half-elf?”
“… … no wonder. From then on, I also avoided him. “You did something like that.”
Let Seong Ji-han tell his family about the Shadow Queen incident.
They looked dumbfounded.
“I’m so disappointed in the queen, really… … .”
“So, what did the Shadow Queen do?”
“The queen’s soul has been sealed, and I will only use the shadow.”
“Just a shadow?”
“huh. “To plant it in Kim Ji-hoon’s body.”
Then Seong Ji-han opens his palm.
Sussss… … .
Black smoke rose gently above it.
“What happens if I plant that?”
“Even while I’m away on an expedition, I’ll be able to control Kim Ji-hoon’s body.”
“aha. But won’t that shadow energy be detected in that body?”
“I will plant it in the void you put it in.”
The void that Yoon Se-ah had breathed into Kim Ji-hoon’s blue sword.
If you infuse shadow energy into it, no matter how much you search Kim Ji-hoon’s body, you won’t be able to find it.
“Then I’ll go do some work.”

“huh. See you next time, uncle.”
So Seong Ji-han went back to the room below and first looked at the elf escort.
She keeps looking in Kim Ji-hoon’s direction, but her pupils are slightly dilated.
‘The inflammatory effect is being applied well.’
You don’t have to worry about him anymore.
Seong Ji-han thinks so.
I put my hand on Jihoon Kim’s head.
Ssssss… … .
Then, the black smoke transmitted through his hands seeped into him.
‘It works right away.’
Kim Ji-hoon’s sense sharing through shadows was clearly carried out.
Until now, you had to enter his body and control him.
Now Seong Ji-han can do it indirectly from a distance through the planted shadow.
‘Multitasking is a bit awkward.’
The controls themselves were decent, though.
The very feeling of controlling people other than myself was something he was not used to.
Still, I have to get used to this in order to live a double life.
For about an hour, he moved his two bodies through shared sensations.
‘Now I have a feel for the control itself.’
Now I decided to take it one step further.
‘It is meaningful to be able to move while robbing the world tree planet.’
Right now, I’m controlling it right next to me, but will I be able to control it well in real life?
To test it, Seong Ji-han went to rob the D-class World Tree, which was now nothing more than a stat charging station.
‘this… … ‘It’s not easy.’
I’m sure it’s because the distance is enormous.
Sharing a sense through a shadow was on a completely different level than doing it right next to me.
Seong Ji-han’s intention was for Kim Ji-hoon to get out of bed and walk.
thud… … !
Instead of getting up, he rolled off the bed and onto the floor.
And even after falling off the floor and trying to stand upright.
Kwadang… … !
Instead of getting up on his feet, Jihoon Kim tries to do a handstand with both palms, but falls down again.
‘Maybe it’s because it’s too far away. It feels like the signal isn’t going properly.’
Should I have gradually increased the distance?
Seong Ji-han was floating quietly in the atmosphere like that.
He was only focused on controlling Kim Ji-hoon.
It must have been about 30 minutes since I did that.
‘… … ‘It’s a good thing I cast a spell on the elf.’
Jihoon Kim was still unable to stand upright on the floor.
The surrounding area was a mess due to rolling around on the floor so much.
Even on the resilient half-elf’s body, several bluish bruises were already showing.
If the elf escort had looked straight at this, they would have intervened a long time ago.
‘If this is the case, then the shadow was planted for no reason.’
Even if things are controlled well on Earth, honestly, what is the point?
Even when going on an expedition like this, sharing the senses needs to be done properly for the shadow planting to be worthwhile.
When Seong Ji-han was having such difficulties with the test.
[…] … Shall I help you?]
A familiar voice was heard from the shadow of the sacred body.
* * *
“Shadow Queen? “You would have been sealed.”
Seong Ji-han opened the inventory.
Then, there, the sealed soul of the queen was firmly in place.
‘Even though the soul was sealed, is there still a remnant?’
He’s a persistent guy.
So, should I just give up on the shadow and get rid of it all?
When Seong Ji-han thinks so.
[Master, I am Ariel. Don’t you remember?]
The shadow revealed its identity.
“… … “You’re Ariel?”
Ariel, the Shadow Queen’s alter ego, served as Seong Ji-han’s sword.
However, after rescuing the Shadow Queen, she merged with the queen and disappeared.
Although I once felt sorry for her absence.
Since she was born as an alter ego of the queen, I thought this was the order of the day since she was rescued… … .
[After being fused with the queen, my consciousness that disappeared came back this time… … .]
“Is it because the queen’s soul was sealed? “Still, I didn’t know that you, your alter ego, could remain so independent.”
[…] … I’m curious too. I also shared memories with the Queen, but they are not complete.]
Ariel then spoke cautiously.
[that… … As expected, the traitor’s alter ego cannot be trusted?]
“hmm… … “How were you going to help?”
Ariel was the queen’s faithful alter ego.
It was impossible to completely trust her, but I was able to hear the method.
[I’m not sure how I can inhabit that alter ego, but… … .]
“That’s not allowed. “I still can’t believe that.”
[…] … I guess so. Instead, we will amplify the signal sent to the shadow. If the owner knows the trick, he will learn it quickly.]
“okay? “Try it.”
Sussss… … .
As soon as Seong Ji-han gave permission, the shadow energy began to move in earnest.
Ariel became a medium in the middle and the signal was amplified.
‘Oh, you’re awake.’
Jihoon Kim, who had been rolling around on the ground, easily got up.
[If I become a mediator like this, I can receive sensations from afar.]
“I don’t think this method is much different from mine… … .”
[hmm… … Perhaps, the fact that I, a shadow elf, became a medium increases the stability of the signal.]
If this is true.
It is said that Ariel is essential to control Kim Ji-hoon when he goes on an expedition.
‘I guess I’ll have to use it as a medium right now.’
Seong Ji-han thought so when he saw that Earth’s clone was being controlled well.
Kim Ji-hoon has difficulty making vigorous movements, but is able to do basic movements such as walking and sitting.
In order for this remote control system to be established properly, Ariel had to be used.
“I guess I’ll have to go with you for a while.”
[for now… … is it.]
“I can’t help it. “Because I have work to do with the Queen, 100 percent trust is impossible.”
[…] … I understand that decision. What the Queen did was such a betrayal of trust.]
“I heard your memory isn’t complete yet, but I guess you know that well?”
To Seong Ji-han’s question, Ariel answered in a calm voice.
[Anyway, on that day, the queen… … Because it was the day he betrayed his master and at the same time gave up the salvation of the Shadow Elves.]
“You even gave up on salvation?”
[okay… … When you are in danger of being captured again by the World Tree Alliance. Her queen looked straight into her own heart. Revenge and the salvation of the species are actually just good justifications… … She was a queen who had once been brutally tortured by the Confederacy, but she just wanted to live free.]
In the past, the Shadow Queen was tortured severely.
After what happened, rather than the cause of saving the shadow elves.
Pursuing personal happiness was, of course, a possibility.
still.
“If you’re going to do that, why are you on Earth? “They shouldn’t have sold my biometric information.”
[…] … That’s right.]
After taking a deep breath, Ariel spoke to Seong Ji-han.
[Anyway, I am the traitor’s alter ego. The owner can use it appropriately and then dispose of it at his own discretion. Accept death at any time.]
Being aloof from death is better than the body itself.
Seong Ji-han nodded and looked down.
‘I guess I’ll just have to shake it all off and go.’
D-class world tree.
The only thing you can achieve is to recharge the enemy.
Still, it’s a shame to just go back after coming this far.
Seong Ji-han is in red manager status.
Shoooooo… … !
It fell down near the World Tree.
Then, there.
“You’re finally here.”
“Red manager… … !”
100 high elves were holding blue swords and forming a defensive line.
That too.
‘… … Have you already changed everything with that face?’
All 100 people.
With Yoon Se-ah’s face.
