Into the Creations 1588

Chapter 1588 – 1588. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into A Baron’S Family

Crack!

The bead cracked, then split in half.

What emerged from the split bead was a being. It had a form similar to a human, but it was definitely not human.

It stood at a height of 2 meters. Its body was made of blue energy and dark purple jewels. It had eyes, but no mouth or nose.

I frowned as I stared at it.

“Demon King…!”

-Demon King? Haha. Are you mistaking me for those demons?

I quickly regained my senses.

It had a body similar to the Demon King described in the original story, but upon closer inspection, something was different. If it were the Demon King, it should be exuding a more overwhelming presence.

“What are you?”

-I am Aurein Prischel.

“Prischel?”

I tilted my head to the side. My gaze turned to the old man next to Tatari. Tatari had clearly called that man the Prischel Magic Tower Lord.

The Magic Tower Lord was looking at Aurein with a shocked expression.

“Master?!”

-It’s been a while. You still have that foolish face.

“H-How? How are you alive? I clearly confirmed with my own two eyes that you were dead…!”

-You stabbed me in the heart. The feeling of my heart being pierced… it wasn’t a pleasant sensation.

“Tell me! How are you alive?! Are you an undead? No, that’s impossible! I clearly burned your corpse!”

-Right before I died, I transferred my consciousness into a magical weapon. It wasn’t complete yet, so it was unstable, but… you completed my magical weapon. Well done, my disciple. Now, pay the price.

Aurein reached out towards the Magic Tower Lord. An invisible force enveloped the Magic Tower Lord’s body and lifted him up. The Magic Tower Lord gritted his teeth and moved his hands. A magic circle was drawn, but it went out like a candle.

“Magic?! W-What the hell did you do!”

The Magic Tower Lord shouted in shock.

-Foolish disciple. I have transcended humans. I have transcended magic.

With Aurein’s arrogant declaration, the Magic Tower Lord’s body exploded. Blood and guts splattered everywhere. It became a lump of meat that was once human.

[Using Instant(刹那). Remaining stacks: 4]

I seized the opportunity. The gap when he was focused on killing the Magic Tower Lord. I closed the distance, exploiting that gap.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) Lightning Gale Blade (雷罡刃).

The tip of the Hwaryeon Flying Sword surged towards Aurein’s solar plexus.

Clang!

The Hwaryeon Flying Sword was deflected by a barrier. I was startled and widened my eyes.

‘A barrier blocked my attack? The Lightning Gale Blade that even cuts through a dragon’s scales?!’

It was impossible. It shouldn’t have happened. I prepared to swing my sword again.

-That was a more powerful blow than I expected.

Aurein gestured. A powerful wind rose and blew me backward. I did a somersault in the air and landed on the ground.

‘The fact that he blew me away… means he felt threatened. The barrier surrounding that body isn’t invincible. It will break if it reaches its limit.’

-Count Prukerus. I have a proposal for you. Hear me out.

“…A proposal? Is this a ploy to buy time?”

-What would I gain by buying time?

I looked behind me. The battle situation had already been resolved. The AM unit and the adventurers were watching us. Tatari was also watching, holding her breath, to see how the situation would unfold.

“Speak. I’ll listen.”

-Are you aware that all the magic towers on the continent have united to kill you?

“Me? Why?”

-Because of vested interests. The current magic towers are no different from merchant guilds. They make money by selling items created using magic. With that money, they buy magic materials, research magic, and transcend their limits. That is the current state of the magic towers. However, Count Prukerus, your Korea Trading Company has disrupted the magic towers’ income.

I was selling items from another world through the Korea Trading Company. I was encroaching on the magic towers’ territory.

For example, sugar.

There is a magic tower that specializes in sugar. They don’t cultivate sugarcane; they create and sell sugar using magic. However, I dominated the market by selling higher-quality sugar at lower prices than the magic towers. Sugar was abundant in the other world, so it didn’t matter if I sold it cheaply.

“…I understand why the magic towers united. But how did they unite? Even if there’s a reason, they wouldn’t be able to gather without a central figure.”

-Princess Eileen.

“Ah. I see.”

I understood. That was why Princess Eileen couldn’t let go of her pride. The magic towers were her last resort.

-Count. Join me. I will control the magic towers. The magic towers will return to the old days when they purely pursued magic. You conquer the world outside the magic towers.

“…You’ll control the magic towers?”

-I will wipe out all the magic towers and create one single magic tower. Do you know? Each magic tower has its own secret technique. If I gather all those secret techniques, becoming a god of magic will be a piece of cake.

“You can acquire all those secret techniques?”

-Look at this body. I have transcended. But the inside is empty. If I can fill it with the magic towers’ secret techniques… I will become a true god of magic.

“I’ve heard enough nonsense! Melissa!”

“Hellfire!”

The Hellfire that Melissa used flew towards Aurein. I dashed forward, using the Hellfire as cover.

Aurein reached out. The Hellfire disintegrated in mid-air and turned into mana. Then, that mana was absorbed by Aurein.

‘…Mana absorption?’

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) Lightning Gale Blade (雷罡刃).

Clang!

It was blocked by the barrier again. Just as I was about to follow up with another attack, flames of Hellfire rose around Aurein.

I was horrified and stepped back.

“Demon King! You were the Demon King after all!”

-As I said before, I am not the Demon King.

“No, you are the Demon King. That body is proof!”

I was convinced after seeing him decompose magic into mana and absorb it. That was the ability of the Demon King’s body from the original story.

At this point, it seemed like the Demon King was pretending to be Aurein.

“You despicable Demon King!”

-…This is absurd. This body was created using Prischel’s secret technique. I didn’t expect such an excellent body to be created… but it’s a pleasant miscalculation.

“Shut up!”

I had to kill the Demon King before he could do anything else. I charged at him with all my might. A red lightning blade flashed, aiming for his head.

He suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Tatari. Space magic, Blink.

“You bastard…!”

-Count. You will regret rejecting my proposal.

Tatari swung her sword at Aurein, who had suddenly appeared. It was useless. He had a barrier that even an aura blade couldn’t penetrate, so there was no way Tatari could do anything.

Aurein’s hand grabbed Tatari’s head.

“L-Let go!”

-I’m running low on mana after blocking the Count’s attacks. Please cooperate.

He absorbed Tatari’s mana. Tatari, drained of energy, collapsed to the ground. She wasn’t dead, but she wouldn’t be able to get up for a while.

I rushed towards Aurein. By the time I arrived, Aurein had disappeared. He had used Blink to create distance again. Aurein hunted adventurers. No, he devoured them. He grabbed the adventurers’ heads and sucked their mana.

And then, he finally appeared near the AM unit. The battle maids, including Melissa, charged at him at the same time. Aurein used storm magic to blow the battle maids away. Except for one, Yuria.

-There’s been a mana that’s been bothering me since earlier. A mana that is far superior to anyone else here.

Yuria swung a shadow sword at Aurein. However, the shadow sword also failed to penetrate Aurein’s barrier. Aurein’s hand grabbed Yuria’s head.

-Shadow magic. A rare magic. I will make good use of it.

-I’ve finally caught you.

Another voice overlapped. It was different from Aurein’s voice. It was heavier and darker. Aurein stopped abruptly and observed himself. The voice came from inside Aurein.

-I heard it’s the best human body. I will use that body as my vessel.

Before Aurein could say anything, something black appeared from Aurein’s body and began to cling to Yuria and seep into her.

‘He took the bait.’

The corners of my mouth curled up. That black thing must be the Demon King.

‘He was inside that body after all.’

I could see Aurein’s eyes distorting. Judging by his expression, he didn’t know that the Demon King was inside him.

Yuria, possessed by the Demon King, opened her mouth with a bewildered expression.

-What is this? This body is…

Thud.

Yuria’s sword, which had risen from the shadows, pierced both Aurein’s body and the shadow clone Yuria’s chest, who was possessed by the Demon King, at the same time.

“Please die now.”

Yuria said. Shadow thorns rose from the sword in her hand, tearing Aurein and the Demon King to shreds.

-Aaaaaaah!

Aurein screamed. The shadow clone Yuria’s body collapsed and disappeared. The black thing from the clone Yuria’s body seeped back into Aurein’s body.

Aurein reached out to the real Yuria. Yuria stepped back without hesitation.

The condition for possession. The body must be touched. In other words, if the body isn’t touched, the Demon King can’t possess it.

-Who are you! Get out of my body right now!

-How amusing. I designed this body, and I manufactured it. All you did was gather the materials. As compensation, I let you enjoy my body for a while… now, disappear.

-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Aurein’s terrible scream echoed. That was the end. Aurein’s consciousness was extinguished.

The Demon King stared intently at Yuria.

“…That’s unpleasant.”

-The power of domination doesn’t work. It’s not that you’re resisting domination… it feels like it’s being completely blocked. Even with mental strength, it shouldn’t be this strong… Do you have a special item? A holy relic or something.

Instead of answering, Yuria threw her sword. The sword, wrapped in shadows, turned into a black serpent and rushed towards the Demon King. However, the serpent failed to penetrate the Demon King’s barrier.

Yuria took out a dagger from the shadows and held it in her hand. She concentrated and swung the dagger in the air. It seemed like she was cutting through the Demon King’s body along with space, but Yuria’s attack was nullified by the Demon King’s gesture.

-Hmm.

The Demon King groaned. He floated his body into the air.

Rumble, rumble!

The labyrinth began to shake. The ground cracked, and rocks fell from the ceiling. I tried to run to Yuria, but somehow the distance was getting farther and farther. The space of the labyrinth was being distorted.

-This is dangerous. It’s not good to fight head-on in this state.

“Are you running away?”

-You’re stronger right now. I have no intention of dying here, so of course, I have to run away. I also need time to repair this body… I’ll leave you in this labyrinth… Tsk. Is the labyrinth also resisting my control? Nothing is going right.

The labyrinth was shaking violently.

I suddenly felt a surge of power. I followed the source of the power. It was the labyrinth. The labyrinth was giving me power.

‘Is it telling me to finish off the Demon King here? Fine.’

I gathered as much power from the labyrinth as I could. Crackle. Lightning sparked.

[Activating Genius Time for 10 seconds.]

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) Double Resonance (二重共鳴) Myriad Lightning Spiral (卍雷螺旋).

The red myriad lightning and the blue myriad lightning overlapped and turned into a single lightning beam, which was fired at the Demon King.

The Demon King, who was focused on Yuria, noticed my attack too late and twisted his body. The Myriad Lightning Spiral shattered the Demon King’s shoulder.

-…I received an unexpected attack. This is your reward.

The Demon King shot a dark red aura towards me.

I moved to dodge, but instead, I was moved in front of the dark red aura.

‘Damn it. Because he’s controlling the labyrinth…!’

The dark red aura seeped into my body. My vision blurred. I didn’t know what it was, but it was definitely one of the Demon King’s powers.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The labyrinth was collapsing. A huge rock appeared in front of me, blocking my vision. Just before that, I saw the Demon King escaping towards the ceiling and Yuria attacking the Demon King.

Thud!

I fell into a distorted space.

•••

I landed on the ground and felt the pain of hitting my back as I got up. It was a strange forest.

‘…What is this?’

There was armor next to me. There was also the Hwaryeon Flying Sword, and clothes. The clothes I had been wearing.

‘Leaving aside the fact that my clothes are off… why am I so small?’

I approached the armor. My reflection was visible in the shiny armor.

“Gasp!”

I was so surprised that I almost fell backward.

My body had shrunk. In terms of size, it was about 15 cm. I had two pairs of translucent wings on my back, and my ears were pointed. Fortunately, I still had my dick. It had shrunk as much as my body, but fortunately, in terms of proportion, it was bigger than my shrunken hand.

“Shit. This is that, isn’t it? A fairy. Tinkerbell.”

I focused my mind on my back. The fairy wings fluttered, and my body floated into the air. The feeling of flying in the sky with wings was strange.

“I’m a real fairy now.”

Sex human Sung Yoojin had become sex fairy Sung Yoojin.

“Sex.”
