Chapter 2122 – 2122. The Ascent Of Light
“Sama Ryung. What did you get? Did you find out what you wanted to know?”
“Yes. There were more secrets to the ascension than I thought. If you’re curious, I can tell you in a quiet place.”
“Haeyoung Seonsa?”
Sama Ryung’s eyes widened.
“It seems you saw the same thing I did, Great Hero!”
“It just happened that way. What else?”
“I obtained the Spirit Eye.”
The pupils in Sama Ryung’s eyes turned red.
“What effect does it have?”
“It’s an eye that allows you to directly see supernatural phenomena like sorcery. It’s an eye that only a very few spirit mediums are born with. It’s a great help to sorcerers like me.”
“Hmm. I’m glad you got something good.”
“It seems you obtained the metal token in your hand. I can feel a mysterious power. It’s a special magical artifact.”
“Can you tell me exactly what kind of power it has?”
“The Spirit Eye will be helpful.”
Sama Ryung stared intently at the magical artifact in my hand. Soon, her mouth slightly opened.
“It’s quite an excellent magical artifact. Its effect is to control the clouds. You can adjust the weather with its power. However… since the scale is large, it will require a lot of energy.”
“A magical artifact that controls clouds…!”
Isn’t that exactly the ability I wanted? Being able to use clouds as I please also means I can summon powerful lightning through dark clouds. This is the ability I was looking for in the world of the Ascent of Light.
I held the magical artifact towards the sky. If this were Domyung Mountain, there would have been clouds around, but Domyung Mountain had disappeared and returned to an ordinary mountain, so the altitude was low.
I pushed my inner energy into the magical artifact. It glowed brightly. I felt a new sensation connecting.
The clouds in the sky moved as if they were spinning according to my will.
‘There aren’t enough clouds.’
I created clouds. The blue sky was filled with pure white clouds. As the clouds increased, they naturally turned into dark clouds. Rumble. Rain poured down with the sound of thunder.
Sama Ryung used sorcery to block the pouring rain.
I was fascinated by the power to control clouds and used it with concentration. Snow fell from the dark clouds, and hail fell. I made the clouds scatter and gather. Of course, it was also possible to strike with lightning.
‘It’s fun, but as Sama Ryung said, it consumes a lot of inner energy. I’ve already used more than half of my inner energy.’
While playing with the clouds, I suddenly thought of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West. Didn’t Sun Wukong ride a cloud called the Somersault Cloud?
‘Wasn’t the Somersault Cloud also a kind of sorcery? Then, can’t I ride a cloud like the Somersault Cloud?’
I got rid of the dark clouds and created pure white clouds. I moved the clouds and brought them in front of me. The clouds looked exactly like fog up close. It would be difficult to ride a cloud like this.
I infused the magical artifact with my energy and made the clouds like cotton candy. I made the texture as fluffy as possible. It was like giving it a kind of characteristic. I tried it with a similar sensation to when I was handling lightning, and it worked.
I went up onto the cloud. I felt the ultimate fluffiness. It would feel great to have sex here. It would literally be a cloud-and-rain pleasure.
“Many people think that clouds are related to wind, but in reality, clouds are the energy of water. You have a talent for handling the energy of water, Great Hero.”
“That’s not it. This magical artifact is just doing what I want. It’s like a support system. Or should I say, it’s like being helped by AI.”
“…System? AI? I don’t know exactly, but it means the magical artifact is helping you. It seems that the magical artifact doesn’t have a name yet, so how about you give it one, Great Hero?”
I, who was sitting solemnly on the cloud, thinking of Zeus, nodded. It was strange that a magical artifact of this level didn’t have a name.
“Since it’s a magical artifact that controls clouds… I’ll call it the Cloud Control Token.”
“That’s a good name.”
“Get on next to me. Let’s enjoy the sky for once.”
“…Yes, then.”
She climbed onto the cloud. She seemed uneasy at first and sat carefully on her knees.
I used the Cloud Control Token to control the cloud. The cloud carrying me and her flew into the sky. The faster the consumption of my inner energy, the faster the speed of the cloud.
‘I can move as fast as the Flying Thunder God technique. It consumes more inner energy than the Flying Thunder God technique, but… it’s not bad in that I can carry someone next to me.’
It was less physically tiring than the Flying Thunder God technique. After all, the Flying Thunder God technique is ultimately about running through the sky.
After driving through the sky for a while on the cloud, I came back down to the ground. I looked at Sama Ryung with a serious face.
“Sama Ryung. I need your help.”
“Yes. I haven’t forgotten our promise. I have the Primordial Divine Treasure, a magical artifact and family heirloom that can use immortal techniques. Please take me to the person who is in a coma.”
Before taking out the space-time scroll from my pocket, I looked at Seong Ji-gon.
“Ji-gon. What are you going to do?”
“Huh? I have to go back to Hayang City. I have the space-time scroll you gave me, so I’ll go back with the Black Water Ghost on my own.”
“See you later.”
I said a brief goodbye to Seong Ji-gon and handed the space-time scroll to Sama Ryung.
“Tear it. We’ll move to Nakwol Mountain.”
“…Are you saying you’re using teleportation? It doesn’t look like a talisman… Interesting.”
She and I tore the space-time scroll at the same time. We both moved to Nakwol Mountain. I led her towards the mansion.
Mireyeong will be fine. It hasn’t even been half a year since the one-year grace period that Wiyu mentioned.
When I opened the door and went inside, I met Wiyu. Wiyu’s hair, who was wearing dolphin pants and a t-shirt, was wet. It seemed like she had just taken a shower.
“We have a guest. I’m Wiyu. Who are you?”
“…I greet the Nakwol Goddess. I am Sama Ryung, the head of the Sama family.”
“The head of the Sama family? You’ve certainly brought an expert.”
Wiyu nodded. She immediately understood because it was a family with a long history.
“Master. How is Mireyeong’s condition?”
“Of course, it’s getting worse. Her energy keeps draining, so it can’t be helped. But you came just in time. Follow me.”
I followed her into Mireyeong’s room. I felt a hot heat.
Mireyeong was lying on the bed in light clothing. She was sweating profusely. However, her clothes and bedsheets were clean, so it seemed like Wiyu had been taking good care of her.
“How is it?”
I asked Sama Ryung. She checked Mireyeong with her Spirit Eye.
“It’s certain that she’s trapped in her mind. I can use immortal techniques to send you inside. But, wouldn’t it be better if the Nakwol Goddess did it?”
She was right. Wiyu was stronger than me. But Wiyu shook her head.
“I can’t do it. Mireyeong values this guy more than me… In Mireyeong’s mind, this guy will be better.”
“That’s true. In this case, family or lovers are better.”
Sama Ryung took out a bead from a spatial storage. It was a bead that emitted a subtle jade light and a mysterious energy. I knew that it was the Primordial Divine Treasure, the Sama family’s heirloom.
“Great Hero. Go to that person and put your hand on her body.”
I approached Mireyeong. Putting my hand on her body must mean direct contact. I slightly opened Mireyeong’s clothes and placed my hand on her lower abdomen, below her navel.
Sama Ryung seemed slightly flustered, but she quickly cleared her throat and gave a new instruction.
“I will use immortal techniques. Close your eyes and do not resist the immortal techniques, and only think of that person.”
I closed my eyes. A mysterious energy flowed out from the Primordial Divine Treasure. Then, it wrapped around my body and Mireyeong’s body as if they were overlapping.
“Dream Ascendant.”
At the end of Sama Ryung’s incantation, my consciousness was sucked into somewhere.
• • •
It was in the mountains.
Mountains where trees with spiritual energy grew. On one side, a clear stream flowed.
It was a place with an amazing view. Waterfalls flowed endlessly from the high hills and cliffs. The air was also good. Every time I breathed, I felt refreshed. It felt like there was a faint mixture of spiritual energy in the air.
I knew that this place was Guyugok, Mireyeong’s hometown. I remembered hearing about it from her. A place where the same fox-people as Mireyeong lived.
A place on a different continent than the Jin Empire.
Mireyeong had jumped out of this beautiful and safe place to meet me.
Judging by the scenery of her mind, Guyugok must have a significant meaning to her. Mireyeong had never once told me that she missed her hometown, but she might have secretly wanted to go back home.
“No. That’s not it, Husband.”
I heard Mireyeong’s voice from behind.
She was sitting naked on a rock. She revealed her fox ears and five white fox tails, which she usually hid because they were cumbersome. Her slender arms were hugging her white legs.
“Mireyeong?”
“Yes. It’s Mireyeong. The Mireyeong you know.”
Was she really the Mireyeong I knew? I felt a strange sense of incongruity.
“I guess you’re feeling awkward because it’s been a while.”
“…Can you feel my thoughts?”
“This is my mind’s world, so I know it intuitively. Intuitively.”
I imagined having sex with Mireyeong.
“Ah, you’re having lewd thoughts right now?! No, stop!”
Mireyeong’s face turned red. I checked her moist pink pussy between her white legs.
“You’re wet?”
“It’s because of you, Husband. Your thoughts and feelings are affecting me. It should be the opposite, but… your mind is so strong. My mind is being invaded by you.”
“I don’t intend to invade. It’s not dangerous, is it?”
“It depends on what you decide. I trust you, Husband.”
Of course, I had no intention of harming Mireyeong.
“Let’s go out. I know you can’t go out alone, so I came to save you.”
I reached out my hand to Mireyeong.
“I believed you would come, Husband. There’s no way you would give up on me, whom you love.”
Mireyeong smiled and came down from the rock and took my hand. I scanned her body. Her large breasts were luscious. Mireyeong would have to pay the price for making me suffer as soon as we got out.
“You’re, you’re having lewd thoughts again.”
“You’re the lewd one. And aren’t fox-people supposed to have the ability to seduce people?”
“You get seduced by any pretty woman. …Huh? Why aren’t you going out?”
“Since we’re here, let’s take a look around your mind. It seems like I won’t be able to come in again… And there’s no particular rush, right?”
“L-Let’s just go out? Okay? I’ll make you feel good when we get out. That’s what you want, right?”
“Who am I?”
“……Han-nam Yujin?”
“I’m a man who does what he says. I have to look around here.”
“Ugh, die, Han-nam!”
Mireyeong revealed her true colors and rushed at me. I just hugged her and subdued her. Isn’t she too weak in her own mind?
