Chapter 830 – #173_diagnosis(3)

One.
Consciousness subsides.
The spirit witch that was visible disappears, and the indoor scenery reaches a dark and infinite space.
It feels familiar.
Image landscape inherent in witches.
The first gateway to the Unmanifested Three Realms, where magical achievements are embodied in ideal casts.
It is AIN.
There is nothing surprising.
It is a space that is frequented during research.
Inside, I could see countless structures built by Siu.
The shimmering shadows spread like fog.
A huge loom that moves diligently like a loom.
The door and key to the memory palace.
Elements shining colorfully on the altar of the cross.
A string of contracts that allows you to freely manipulate the weapon in your hand.
A large full moon rises with the station manager.
The sea of the Demon Sea, which constantly oscillates and creates waves.
A sacred ring as gigantic as a particle accelerator and slowly rotating.
A two-piece harp that produces beautiful melodies without pause.
Stairs rising high into the heavens to lead to ascension.
The magnetic magics obtained from different witches stand beautifully in balance and harmony.
The balance of the microcosm comes from the subtly shining golden fractal.
I want to collect it very frugally.
Compared to the past, the number is also a number, but the level of harmony is different.
Through endless research, trials, and death, Siwoo’s child succeeded in harmonizing the magics he possessed seamlessly.
By linking different magnetic magics, it reached the point where it led to a higher level of magic.
You must have thought so…
When I compare myself with the self I got from my dream with Master, this figure seems to be lacking somewhere.
It must be that the eyes are raised.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung!
But there was no time to be immersed in leisurely thoughts.
With a sudden roar, Ain’s bottom began to shake.
Again, Ain is an ideal, conceptual space and is infinite.
‘Bottom’ means that it shouldn’t exist.
But Siu knew.
The unconscious that sleeps inside of you, the guy called the Black Knight for convenience, is asleep.
The boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness, which could not be found even after trying to find it after the last time the rampage was put to rest, appeared in the bottom form.
“…”
A dark space that moves wildly like a raging wave on a shallow shore.
It’s scary to approach it for nothing.
I fell far away and looked at the rocky bottom as if it were about to devour everything that came close to it.
I can’t explain it in detail, but I can intuit it.
The unconscious is trying to cross the inverted boundary endlessly.
‘Now I don’t need you.’
‘I will kill you and claim your body.’
The ambition revealed at the time of the black knight’s encounter in the ordeal.
I still can’t give up on that ambition…
– Right!
“Wake.”
There was a loud noise right in front of my eyes.
Looking around in bewilderment, the spirit witch was snapping her fingers in front of Siwoo like a hypnotist hypnotizing her.
“Here…”
“The test is over.”
“How much time has passed?”
“Four hours.”
“Is that me?”
It felt like I had a sleep endoscopy.
It felt like something was going crazy in an instant.
Looking back, the spirit witch was sweating profusely.
Even the corners of the eyes, which showed a sharp expression, were haggard.
However, the corner of his mouth was gently curved, as if he had found an interesting toy.
“What, what happened?”
“Amazing, you are truly amazing.”
“What was the problem?”
The door burst open and Master came in.
He must have been waiting outside the door, listening for four hours.
Siwoo saw Gretel spinning strangely as she put on her clothes.
Something doesn’t feel right…
“I will tell you in conclusion. Your left arm was ‘eroded’. It’s only natural that no matter what method you use, your senses won’t come back. The unconscious inside of you is looking for your body and mind.
While quietly conserving power.
The result is your left arm. The fact that the senses do not return means that a small gap has already been allowed.”
An ominous feeling creeps in.
There was a part that was immediately pointed out in the remarks of the witch of the soul.
“Is it more amazing to me that such a huge unconsciousness can be suppressed with the surface consciousness?”
Gretel giggled, but Siu wasn’t in the mood to laugh at all.
He knew that the Black Knight was targeting the mind and body.
But that it has had some success only creates anxiety.
“You still don’t understand? Yes, let me explain.”
Gretel took out two sheets of paper of different colors.
One is black, the other is white.
“This is your unconscious, this is your surface consciousness. Now it’s overlapping like this.
Gretel folded the two sheets of paper together, with the white paper on top.
When the corner of the white paper is slightly cut off, the black paper lying on the back is peeked out.
“Your unconscious is powerful, but it is now suppressed. I can’t even use my strength properly, and the only thing I’ve taken away is the feeling in my left arm. As a result, the owner of your body is Shin Siu, who is talking to me now.”
“Yes. I understood that far.”
“Then what would it take for the unconscious to reclaim your body?”
“… I hope the white paper disappears.”
“That’s right, another torn part or something. Or there is another way.”
Gretel turned the paper over.
This time it was the complete opposite.
The white paper was not visible because the black paper covered all the white paper.
Inverted world.
Half-consciousness.
Inverted Ain.
The sight of the paper turning over reminds me of Bianca, when the unconscious first revealed its existence.
“But it’s not easy to turn it around like this, even if it’s just using paper as an example. Your unconscious is already bigger than you, but you’ll have to build even bigger power.”
“Then…”
“This is a personal opinion. Keter made you an apprentice witch.”
“… I was guessing.”
“No, Keter didn’t want you. You’re just a shell A breakwater that will suppress the talent until the bizarrely developed unconscious is destroyed by its own talent.”
I couldn’t say anything.
I don’t know what Gretel saw or what she said because she knew that.
But the lust that arises when you smell a witch’s body odor.
Replication of the stigma caused by following that desire.
The unconscious that tries to take away the body.
Oddly matched situations come into my head.
“It’s not long. Let’s see… Only two types in the future. I see it that way.”
“Two kinds?”
“I’m talking about the way you got the magic you got. By the time the two magnetic magics are added, the black paper will have the power to reverse the white paper.”
I got goosebumps.
Only two.
If Siwoo had a witch haphazardly for the purpose of strengthening magic.
If I had accepted the numerous temptations and passed on them.
At least, it means that if you copied the magic of Lydia Magnus and Cybele Periwinkle on your bed, the paper might have already turned over.
Well, it was kind of strange.
There was no such thing as power without a price.
“If that happens, what will happen to me?”
“I don’t know.”
“Can’t you get rid of the unconscious?”
“Will that work?”
Gretel responds calmly, and Siwoo thinks it’s better now that he’s paying more attention.
Unlike him, Eloah’s face turned white in fear.
Soon, his pale face turned into anger.
“I need to see Keter right away.”
“Master, calm down. I’ve been there several times, but…”
“Does it look real now!”
Everything was Keter’s handiwork.
The disciple you love may turn into a completely different being.
Elroa bit her lips and suppressed her anger and fear.
“Duke Tiphareth, calm down first. Shin Si-woo, do you have a sense now?”
After hearing her words, Siwoo realized that feeling had returned to his left arm.
Even the sensation of squeezing and opening the hand is clearly conveyed.
“Is it resolved?”
“It’s a solution. I don’t have that kind of bravery. At least it didn’t make it worse.”
Gretel said to Siwoo who was puzzled.
“Look into Ain.”
When I closed my eyes and entered Ain, I saw a change.
First of all, there was a bottom that I couldn’t recognize normally.
And in the middle is a huge door.
The door was wrapped in several layers of chains.
“Erosion may occur at any time if it is in a form that is in contact with each other like paper. Like your left arm. That’s why I minimized the point of contact between the two souls and sealed it with a ‘door’. What I have done is a temporary measure, so use your magic to lock it tighter.”
“Thank you.”
“But keep in mind. Having a door makes it easier to control, but on the contrary, it also means that it can become a passage.”
It is unknown how appropriately Gretel took action.
However, if Count Kohab and Yebin could not solve the problem with a single diagnosis and even treatment, her skill in this problem would be credible.
“I will teach you how to manage Ain’s door. You said you let me go to Gehenna anyway, so I’ll be able to see your face often.”
“I will keep that promise. And thanks to you, I’m alive. I learned a lot.”
After the diagnosis and temporary treatment, the lovers got back together.
There was no need to stay here for long, so I left the mansion without seeing Gretel, who said she would take a recuperation.
Somehow, my anxiety doesn’t go away.
Keter is the greatest witch in history.
Such a witch did tricks on herself.
I have a feeling that this is not normal.
Prophecy agency.
A place that shows the future of witches and sometimes makes prophecies.
If the witch of the apocalypse had to come and give the revelation of a dream, it would be to show a meaningful future.
Siwoo and Eloa went to the second destination, pretending nothing was wrong and hiding their disturbed appearance.
