Chapter 151 – Chapter 37. The Oath of Obedience.
Ji-hyeok took care of the overdue tasks and started intensively training the telekinetic magician Sally.
While he was gone, he must have been steadily training, and his skills have definitely improved markedly. He became agile and used telekinesis well. Now, it seems that one person in the team can do his or her part to the fullest.
These days, she has devoted herself to training to increase the strength of her telekinesis. She crushes branches first, then a wooden stick, then a wooden barrel… , In this way she gradually increased her intensity. Step by step, he has now reached the point where he can barely crush a stone.
“Try attacking my fist.”
Jihyeok pointed her eyes at her clenched fist and told her to crush it. Celie was a bit hesitant, but after repeated pushes, she eventually used her telekinesis.
However, the disciple could not crush the master’s fist tightly wrapped in mana. It was as hard as a rock. After sweating profusely for a long time, she finally declared her resignation.
“I can’t, ha ha, ha, I can’t, ha ha.”
“Are you sure you felt it? So far you’ve broken inanimate objects, but in the end it’s the creatures with demonic energy that have to succeed in the attack. Of course, it would be impossible to crush something so ignorant, but it means that you should train with that level of determination. So, how much of a goal have you set?”
“All right. Master’s words, I will definitely keep them in my heart… !”
As there is a saying that a disciple resembles a teacher, Sally followed Ji-hyeok’s behavior and behavior with her every move. She wanted to learn even more.
Shelley, who has survived in a ruined world, was not very close to the original word of justice, but she was taught by a righteous master and she always watched by her side, so her inclination was also changed. Gradually began to change. Much of her shy and quiet personality is now gone, and her lively and gentle personality has taken its place.
Lizard Man Kayak, who had been watching Sally with eyes like her father, bowed his head respectfully to Ji-hyeok, who had returned after helping her with her training.
“Thank you for your hard work, Captain.”
“… I’ve developed a lot. It’s a bit early this year, so next year you can try the Hero test.”
The two of them sat on the floor for a moment, staring at Celie in her contemplation, then turned her around.
While walking down the hallway with the kayak, Jihyeok said, “Oh,” He said.
“This time we go to the Cursed Tower. Know in advance.”
“A cursed tower, are you talking?”
Lizardman was a bit surprised. During his long career as a mercenary, he had heard a lot about this and that, and he had heard a lot about the cursed tower. Since it’s a place with a bad reputation, I can’t help but worry about it…
Jihyeok noticed Kayak’s concern and quickly reassured him.
“Don’t worry. It’s just a little bit less dangerous. Still, it looks like our team can do it… , What do you think?”
“Hey, if it’s the captain’s order, I’m ready to jump into the pit of fire at any time. And so will the kids.”
“Nothing like that, your judgment. Be cool for once.”
When Jihyeok asked, Lizardman Kayak flicked his long tongue once and then opened his long snout again.
“I don’t know what the level of less dangerous is, Captain, but… , Still, I think it’s worth trying once if you have the current power. Didn’t you successfully complete the subjugation in the past?”
The warrior nodded lightly. He then grinned and patted the Lizard Man’s arm.
“I rely on it a lot, kayak.”
Kayak bowed his head deeply. Then he raised his head again and opened his mouth.
“But shouldn’t we find a healer?”
“… Yeah, that’s a real problem Could you please look into it?”
“I will do my best.”
Lizardmen immediately left the mansion to fulfill the request of the warrior.
Jihyeok went back to the office and started working on the unfinished business. He was very confused in his head. So, even while he was working, he spent a lot of time in a daze in the middle.
The old emperor’s death, the imperial family’s struggle, the warriors’ division of sides, the oath of obedience, the cursed tower, the dream queen, the Kurdish inspiration…
He washed his face briskly with the palm of his hand. As time went on, it felt like the weight on his shoulders was increasing. I was determined, but it wasn’t difficult.
Master Agel… !
Jihyeok, let’s eat, he called to himself, recalling Master’s brightly smiling face.
What are you doing now
Are you growing vegetables in your front yard?
Are you feeding the chickens?
Are you preparing meals in the kitchen?
I wanted to see Master. But I couldn’t afford to go. … It was the inevitable fate of a warrior.
Jihyeok, who recalled the happy memories of leaning against the back of the chair, was suddenly awakened from his thoughts by the sound of a knock on the door. He changed from a disciple who coveted his master’s erotic pussy to a dignified warrior again.
“Someone?”
– I am, sir.
“Come in.”
It was Durka, the caretaker. He opened the door, entered the office, and bowed deeply to show an example.
“What is it?”
“A letter has arrived.”
“Bring it and see.”
The janitor came up to the desk and handed him an envelope. The warrior saw the seal first. It belonged to the witch Jeanne. His eyes landed on the caretaker and then fell.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Durka bowed her head again and cautiously left the office. As soon as he checked out, Jihyeok opened the envelope and looked at the contents. There were a lot of words, but to sum it up, I knew roughly what the oath of obedience was, so please visit me whenever you have time.
Originally, the visit was scheduled for tomorrow, the third day, but if the work ended sooner than expected, there was no reason to be idle.
Jihyuk reflexively looked out the window. The sun had set its peak and was slowly falling, but it was still bright. He would be able to return before evening if he went quickly.
He stopped what he was doing, left his mansion, and got into the waiting carriage.
The carriage ran quickly and stopped near the plaza. Jihyeok returned the carriage and started walking down the dark alley.
Just because it was the capital didn’t mean that there were no beggars or miscreants. Compared to other cities, the force is weak, but the capital also had an alley boss.
Anyway, Ji-hyuk finally arrived at the witch’s house after walking through the complicated alleys. This time he used the back door. He had no one to see.
The hero knocked, and soon after, the witch opened the door. She was a bit surprised that he had arrived much earlier than expected.
“Did I come too early?”
“No, it’s not like that. I just didn’t know you’d be here so soon…”
“I don’t think it’s a matter of procrastination… Please understand my urgency.”
“Of course, sir. … Come in.”
The hero strode towards the witch’s house and moved her feet. The number of visits is quite high, so I’m quite used to this place now. The structure of the house, the soft sofa, the sweet taste of tea, the bitter smell of herbs…
Instead of sitting in a chair, Jihyeok stood in the living room and waited for the witch’s proposal. Jeanne promptly guided him to the closet. The two entered the dark room again.
In an enclosed space, the two looked at each other while relying on a single candle.
“How is it?”
“I looked through all the records.”
“Good job. … So is it possible?”
However, she didn’t answer quickly with an ambiguous expression on her face.
“In fact, there is no record of a human being being a caster. So I can’t give a definitive answer yet.”
“Is it? … Then what about the oath of obedience?”
“The method was described. … However, there are several limitations.”
“Say it.”
The witch swallowed her saliva. I don’t know if it was because of the candlelight, but her face felt a little flushed.
“First of all, the oath of obedience is an incantation close to magic. So, it seems that His Excellency will be quite difficult to deal with.”
“That is what I practice. But I am confident in handling mana.”
Still, if you practice consistently for a few months, it won’t be difficult to brand yourself. After all, magic and shamanism also deal with mana. If you’re really having a hard time, you can get Yayel’s help.
“However, if the caster is a human, will that be possible… , In fact, I’m not sure either.”
Again, that was the problem. Then the hesitant witch spoke up again.
“… However, there is no way to find out… , No.”
“How?”
Jeanne looked at the hero with warm eyes.
“As a being with demonic energy… , Why don’t you try it?”
“There is nothing to test right now.”
After saying that, something flashed through Jihyeok’s head. The hero looked at her witch with hopeless eyes.
She, the witch Jeanne, laid her eyes down on her and spoke in a moist voice.
“I will try…”
However, Jihyeok firmly shook his head.
“No. You know what an oath of obedience is.”
Jeanne smiled faintly. He also knew that the warrior would refuse.
Of course, she was concerned about this now and prepared in advance.
She took off her clothes on the spot.
ㅡ!
The warrior turned back. The witch soon became a body without a single thread.
“Your Excellency, Your Excellency, look at me. Dismissal… !”
“You don’t have to do this.”
“… The preparations are already complete.”
ㅡㅡ!!
Jihyeok shook his head. The beautiful naked body appeared first. And at the end of his gaze, he saw a brand clearly stamped on his lower stomach. It was an oath of obedience that was mainly used with dreamers.
“The stigma of submission has already been stamped on. Now His Excellency just needs to take it.”
“You really… !”
The witch Jeanne smiled prettily. And she slowly walked towards him. A sweet scent entered his nostrils.
“If I can help, I want to help with anything…”
Jihyuk let out a long sigh.
“You are Ludbine’s mother.”
“And I am also your servant.”
“I never had you as a servant. I never thought of that.”
“Witches are originally like that. She is a slave begging a sublime being to become one herself.”
The witch took her warrior’s hand and lifted it up and laid it on her own breast.
“Your Excellency is the one who needs to go higher. Being a stepping stone for such a person is an honor for me. Please… , Please do not turn away from my heartfelt sincerity.”
I could clearly feel the warmth of her breasts in Jihyeok’s palm.
… In fact, before learning how to brand obedience, it was first to see if it worked or not. There is no need to learn useless things that do not work.
However, the problem was that the stigma, once applied, would not disappear forever unless the caster died. That’s why the oath of obedience was scary.
“… Dismissal… !”
The witch hastened the hero’s decision.
Jihyeok closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again. There was something bright in his eyes.
“Good. … If it succeeds, you know what’s irreversible, right?”
“Yes.”
In the end, the hero decided to use the witch as a test subject for the oath.
