Chapter 545 – 545. Warrior’s Soul (4)
[This…]
Belldandi, who was watching Erin’s situation in the underworld, showed a surprised expression.
The white ghosts, which were originally subordinated only to the soul, are close to spiritual beings as beings who have manifested through the magic of divine beasts.
It is possible to manifest in reality with a substance, but the provided body is nothing more than a collection of magical powers that will disappear without form if Erin cancels the summoning.
But now, the bodies of the white ghosts summoned by the power of the divine beast are not magical, but have a clear substance.
Those were the bodies of the past that were summoned by the power of Urd and the souls of the hundred demons, and were used in their lifetime.
The current situation where the spirits of the hundred demons settled in the body they used during their lifetime and were resurrected in the underworld was a completely unexpected and embarrassing event for Verdandi.
It is a taboo that goes against the rules governed by the gods of the underworld, in the realm of ‘reviving the dead’.
[…]
Belldandy glanced at Urd, who was watching the lower world without any reaction.
[My sister… Were you predicting this situation?]
[No.]
Urd shook his head in denial.
As a goddess, she couldn’t possibly have the same way of thinking and thoughts as a being from the underworld, but she couldn’t have read Erinn’s actions and thoughts.
The reason why Urud bestowed part of her own power on her Erin through the medium of her eunuch’s relationship with the apostles was because of Berdandi’s request, and she did not expect or wish for anything from Erin.
She just had a vague idea that it would work this time too, because there was a precedent that her Eun-hyeon had somehow utilized her own power to bring out her good results, and she at the same time told her Eun-hyeon that her It was just an excuse to send Siete’s soul away.
That’s why Urud was also terrified of the situation Erin created.
Reviving the dead is a strictly taboo area, and the beings created as a result of executing that taboo are the undead.
[… Crazy.]
Urud finally frowned and murmured softly.
The Undead who have been denied death and wander the underworld with miserable faces for the rest of their lives.
And the past incident in which the lower world faced a great danger due to Mediah, the queen of the dead, who was at the peak of commanding the undead, was a big headache even among the gods who were the administrators of the lower world.
In a sense, this situation, which brought the dead back to life and created an entity to serve them, quickly made Urd regret that he had given Erin her powers.
It is because her common point of reviving her dead and making them her own subordinates, perhaps in her distant future, may turn into her disaster like Mediah.
[Also… Was it a mistake to believe in humans?]
[No. It is still too early to conclude.]
Unlike Urd, however, Berdandi did not view the situation negatively.
[Shinsu child is not a child who has the seeds of disaster enough to threaten humans like that. And… My child will lead you well.]
He didn’t know about the other gods, but he had the experience of going down to the underworld and having a skin-to-skin experience with Erin.
In addition, since Eun-hyeon is by her side, her belief that he will support her well so that she will not change is firm.
[You backed away too much. If anything, that person…]
[Sister.]
Urd, who couldn’t have the firm faith like her brother, gave a worried look on her face, but Berdandy interrupted Urd and said with a confident face.
[The child I chose is the one accepted. Never let it happen My sister and I will do our best so that she will never regret giving power to Shinsu Ai while listening to my request.]
[… Okay.]
At his brother’s persuasion, Urd eventually gave in to his will and stopped retrieving the powers he had bestowed on Erin.
Then, he watched her underworld and watched Erin’s figure.
◆ ◆ ◆
Confused by the sudden change, one of the white ghosts who stood there muttered in her voice.
“How… Crab?”
Weight of armor and weapons.
The noise created by the collision of weapons that can be heard through the ears.
The disgusting smell of rotting corpses and blood.
The coolness of the dawn wind that flows through the armor.
A battle between demons and humans spread out in front of him.
All of the senses are activated and receiving a lot of information is your own vivid body that has long since disappeared.
What was so embarrassing was the same for the other white ghosts.
“Did you just say that?”
One White Ghost asked in a puzzled tone to the White Ghost, who had been muttering in bewilderment.
Hearing the words of a colleague full of nuances from the tone of his voice to ‘Why is this?’, Baek-Gwi asked the Baek-Gwi instead.
“You are talking right now too.”
“… Is that so? What. This now?”
“No. Do you know Nanda?”
Embarrassed, the white ghosts turned their heads to follow their fellow white ghosts who stared in one direction without saying anything.
At the end of that line of sight is the new master they are currently serving.
They realized the reason why they suddenly regained their bodies and were fully resurrected.
“Hundred Ghosts! How are you!?”
Hearing the voice of his young master standing in the center of the huge silver tail that filled the surroundings, he smiled a little.
“Very good.”
Swordsman Baek-Gwi knelt down on one knee and continued.
“I will introduce myself again. A swordsman Baek-Gwi who belongs to Baek-Gwi Night. My name is Arthur Brendel.”
Prosecutor Baek-Gwi, who belongs to the leader position, introduced himself in a polite manner.
As if following him, the eight hundred demons all knelt down on one knee and spoke to their new young master.
“Gawain Solten.”
“Lancelot Tvall.”
“Percival Therun.”
“Tristan Dale!”
“Bedi Endern.”
“Modre Galeo.”
“Agrave Indere.”
And the last remaining white ghost said in an excited voice as he looked at Erin, who showed off the skills he had taught.
“This is Galahad Arien.”
She was the first white demon who spoke to Erinn’s consciousness, and the woman who presented the basics of her three sword techniques.
She wore white silver armor and helmet, with flames of blue flames all around her body, but Galahad’s voice as she introduced herself contained a variety of emotions.
Pride, pride, joy.
And now this is mixed with her reverence for her own master, who has the special ability to resurrect her hundred demons, including her own.
“You are our master. Please order.”
Erin gave her command to her newly born elves of her own.
“Everyone! Please protect the people from the undead and exclude them all!”
“I will follow your orders.”
Without any hesitation, the white demons accepted her master’s order as if it were no big deal.
The swordsman Hundred Ghosts that slowly raises the body that had been kneeling.
Following Arthur, the other hundred demons stood up one after another and grabbed their weapons in unison.
Armed with a variety of weapons, including swords, swordsmen, spears, battle axes, and bows, they radiated terrifying fighting spirit and watched the enemies their masters ordered to annihilate.
“Jin hyung goes to number 3. Dan Bedi and Agrave prioritize the backup and rescue of people.”
“Check.”
“I see.”
The two hundred demons, who nodded silently, dispersed all at once.
“Haha! I never thought the day would come when we would be able to communicate and fight like this with a living body!”
Kaaang!
As the gauntlets worn on both hands collided with each other, one of the hundred demons blazed with a strong will to fight.
Speaking with voice, standing at the center of the battlefield and feeling the battlefield with all five senses, I shudder at this moment.
Even though he was wearing full plate mail all over his body, his mood was clearly evident.
“Tristan. Percival.”
“Okay! Haha!”
“I get it.”
The white ghost wearing the gauntlet and the white ghost pulling out a greatsword as big as the body ran forward.
“The rest follow me. And… Galahad.”
“Yes. Arthur.”
“Take the master.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Galahad bowed his head and thanked Arthur for his consideration.
The nine hundred demons are all beings whose souls are enslaved to the source of the magical power of the divine beast.
They did not even have a body that could manifest themselves in reality, and even vocal cords that could speak through voice. Am.
Arthur accurately read Galahad’s psychology, feeling proud and proud of Erin, who has achieved great growth as three swordsmen using the same three swords, and wanting to teach her more.
“Then.”
Arthur, who accepted Galahad’s gratitude with a small nod, jumped into the battlefield to carry out Erinn’s command with the other hundred demons.
“Okay then. Shall we start too? Oh, by the way…”
Galahad glanced at Erin while holding his sword, but then, for some reason, his eyes naturally went to the figure of Siete floating in the air behind Erin.
“I never thought I would be able to meet the swordsman I had only heard about… It is an honour.”
[Hmm?]
Siete made a puzzled expression at the behavior of the hundred demons who were suddenly paying her respects.
Not only did he not know exactly the identity of the white ghost, but he thought that no one other than Eun-hyeon knew of his existence on this continent, but it was unexpected news.
[Do you know me?]
“Sure. There was no swordsman on Earth who did not know the name of ‘Sword Saint Siete’.”
The exact reason for Siete’s death was due to an engagement with the devil, but in the world, her sudden disappearance was hidden and her whereabouts were unknown.
Not only did her activities disappear, but after she fought and defeated the demons, her corpse irretrievably disappeared without her form, and her soul was played by the demons in her demon realm, and the worst spirit. Fell into the hands of the sorcerer.
Many swordsmen followed her steps to inherit her legacy and skills that she may have left behind when she suddenly disappeared.
It was all in vain, and in the end, Siete’s swordsmanship disappeared from the world like smoke along with her actions.
All that remains is the name “Sword Saint Siete” Recorded in history.
Galahad, who overheard part of her memories in Erin’s magical powers, immediately recognized that Siete was the Sword Saint from the moment Siete introduced herself to her Erin as Siete Lopez.
“Huh… ?”
It is Erin who looks bewildered at Galahad’s behavior as she bows her head and greets the ghost with her infinitely polite voice and demeanor.
“Sword Saint? What is it?”
“Sword Saint. In other words, those who reached the pinnacle in the field of swordsmanship were called swordsmen by us.”
“…”
She asked Erin, startled, pointing her finger at Siete, showing a face wondering if she had heard it right.
“I-I heard that this ghost was such a great person… ?”
“Yes. Did you not know?”
Rather, why he didn’t know, Galahad couldn’t understand.
Shiete is none other than the teacher who taught Eun-hyeon, who raised Erin, but her eyesight that she has not yet noticed is truly absurd.
Siete, who had figured it out with only her fragmentary memories of Erin, found it rather funny to see Erin asking back in surprise.
“I-I thought she was just a talkative lady…”
[… What?]
Those words that she muttered in a small voice were nothing more than self-talk that flowed out of her subconscious, but at such a level that she couldn’t get it out of her mind, a dagger flew into Siete’s chest, which was only her spiritual body.
She called herself her aunt, who had never married before and ended her life. The lump finally got impatient and burst.
[… Summon.]
“Yes?”
[Summon my body from the past, just as you summoned the bodies of those hundred ghosts.]
“No. I… That’s what I can do…”
[If you want to do it, do it.]
Embarrassed by the fact that Siete, who had been just sitting by her side and giving her instructions, suddenly flared up her fighting spirit and used a coercive tone, Erin was following Saengashite’s orders.
[Barbarian Witchcraft (狐族姚術)]
[Hundred Ghost Night Trips]
Siete’s soul, which flowed into Erinn’s soul through the mediation of Urud, is finally reborn as the tenth Hundred Ghosts, and she is also the first Hundred Ghosts created by Erinn.
While floating in the air as just her spiritual body, Te’s soul gradually began to resurrect as her life form with a clear reality.
But its appearance is very strange.
Unlike the other Hundred Ghosts, she doesn’t wear any armor, let alone her full plate mail, and the only weapon she has is three long swords worn around her waist.
Siete drew a longsword of her own from her waist and glared at her Erin.
“… !”
Her gaze was so ferocious that it instantly made Erin and Galahad flinch.
‘Ah, it’s a big deal.’
Galahad thought to himself.
What Erin’s careless remarks brought about was the cataclysm of the Sword Saint’s wrath.
“Take a good look. Swordsmanship is like this. You cheeky son-in-law.”
“Cow, Son disciple… ? What is that…”
Without giving Erin a chance to understand what she was talking about, Siete snorted at her as she charged through the crowd of undead beasts.
