Chapter 193 – Laughter of Martial Arts
“Our world is full of strong people. In the world of images, Eunwol’s power is really strong… But she’s definitely not the best here.”
“…”
“Rather, considering the power of the hermits who came out when the Blood God descended half way in the past, they are just ordinary strong people.”
“…So what?”
“To put it simply. There are people here who can help me if I get into an accident, so I’m going to use this gem here to make an alter ego.”
“Hmm…”
“Don’t worry. The people who prevented the blood god from descending in the past are still alive… Will there be a big problem? It’s just an alter ego.”
“Well… I guess so.”
“And you saw it too. The evil energy you saw before is completely gone. So it should be fine.”
“…If you think so.”
“And I believe in you two. If I ever get into trouble, they’ll help me stand guard and save me.”
“Hmmmm. Of course! Young master and I are half alumni(?), So would you mind leaving it alone? We should do our best to help our sect(?) So that the line won’t be cut off!!”
“…I hate to sympathize with that bastard, but he’s right.”
At the reaction of the two, Seong-il starts to answer with a bright smile.
“Thank you. In that sense, please help me. I will create an alter ego, so please help me in case of an accident.”
“Yes!! Gongja-nim!!”
“Okay!!”
Seongil’s two co-workers give cool answers. Seong-il feels very reassured and takes out preparations from his inventory.
“…That?”
Saekma and Eunwol are puzzled when they suddenly take out potions from all sorts of glass bottles. Seong-il begins to explain to him.
“This is, energy potion, this is wound healing potion. And this is the great alchemist’s…”
Seong-il took out the great 『The Great Alchemist’s Potion Bottle』 And the elixir contained in it from his inventory. He begins to explain the efficacy of the elixir to the two.
“Heheh?! Isn’t that a treasure that can only be found in mythology?!”
“Yes. And this jewel is also a sacred object. It is worth being careful when using this potion.”
“But…”
Eun-wol and Saek-ma nod their heads at Seong-il’s meticulous behavior and express their agreement. They feel a little relieved when they learn that Seong-il has prepared so meticulously.
“I’ll start.”
“Yes!!”
Just in case, the two raise their spirits and energy to the maximum and stand guard around Seong-il. Seeing them like that, Seong-il feels relieved, and he uses all his might to create an alter ego using the 『Great Puppet Master’s Soul Mask』.
‘Whoa…’
Is it because it is a gem of an overwhelming size? An alter ego that should have been created a long time ago. But for some reason, the alter ego was not created, and he began to concentrate with all his might once again.
“Keugh…”
The moment Seong-il’s internal energy is almost exhausted, he is about to give up. He feels something breaking inside him.
That feeling gave Seong-il a strange sense of release, and soon after receiving that feeling, he could feel that his abilities had advanced a step for unknown reasons.
“!!”
In the midst of being shocked by such a sudden chance. Intense light emanates from the jewel. The light fades after a while. And a person appears.
“Hello everyone?”
“!!”
An alter ego that revealed its face by transforming its mask into a circlet. The appearance of that automata was exactly the same as Seong-il’s own appearance.
It took a while for me to be shocked by the way the automata spoke to me. Recalling the case in which the automata of Euftesia spoke, Seong-il, who regained his composure, starts talking to the automata.
“Oh… You talk…?”
“Yeah. It’s still impossible to command sophisticated actions such as talking to automata at your level, Sungil-nim, but I’m a little different.”
“Oh… Why?”
“I am an automaton made using the 『Soul Stone of the Creator』? I think it is different from normal automata.”
“Ohh…”
Then, suddenly, Seong-il is curious about the strange refreshing feeling he felt while making automata using soul stones. He begins questioning the automata about it.
“Um… I think something happened inside me while I was making you. Why is that?”
“…Well? I’m just your automata, not the body. Why don’t you check the status window through the Game Master? To be honest, I don’t know.”
“Hmm…”
Instinctively, Seong-il felt that the automata were hiding something, but Seong-il silently nodded at the automata’s opinion, as there was no fault in his logic.
‘…Well, it doesn’t make sense to blame the automata just for its ‘feel’.’
‘Okay. Let’s check the status window for now.’
Thinking so, Seong-il takes out his smartphone and turns on 『Game Master』 To check the status window.

※ Overall Review: Oh! A delay occurs! Congratulations! But is it really something to celebrate?
‘…What. Why did I create an alter ego, why did my color ball take a step forward and my physical abilities improved all of a sudden? I can’t speak…? And what do you mean again with this bastard?’
Seong-il, who is in confusion due to his incomprehensible condition. Leaving the automata behind, he approaches the sage.
“Hee-ik… Oh my god… You are the Primordial Heaven…”
‘…Why are you looking for the Primeval Heaven?’
Seong-il is not a guru, and even though he is embarrassed by the behavior of the sage looking for the Primordial Heaven on the subject of training a witchcraft made by distorting the vision of Do-mun, he soon recovers his spirit and starts talking to him.
“Old man, please calm down.”
“Yes? Yes…”
The state of the color horse that is still missing the spirit. Seong-il takes care of him with a very tired expression.
“What are you so surprised about when you saw me make an alter ego? It’s just that talking is a little different.”
“Ah… Yes, it’s so amazing. Anyway, I think it’s going well, but why are you calling me?”
Seong-Il holds out his hand to Seong-Il’s words and explains his condition to him.
“Something has changed.”
“Yes? Perhaps, a trilogy of magic…”
“No. I don’t know why, but after making that alter ego with the Soul Stone of the Creator, my level rose. All of a sudden.”
“…Huh?”
At Seongil’s absurd words, Saekma hurriedly grabs his wrist and checks his veins. He is shocked to realize that Seong-il’s words are true.
“No… What the hell!! How did this happen!!”
“…Why?”
“It seems that the Heaven, Earth, Yin and Yang Mating Technique has reached a 5-star achievement… What’s more surprising than that…”
“…Anything surprising?”
“Even so, it’s our mental method that can be called the best in terms of chastity… I feel like Young master has become more chaste as he achieves this time!!”
“Um… To what extent?”
“You are at the level of a Taoist who has trained only in the mountains for decades!!”
“Um… Is that good?”
“Yes!! If you are at the level of 5 stars, you can now say that you are a warrior at the peak, so you can control even this level of pure energy. If it was at the beginning of training, it would have been poison.”
“Ah! That’s right. There’s a problem with being too innocent…”
“Yes. That’s why I practiced the five desires and seven emotions.”
“Hmm…”
“Well, anyway!! It’s good! But why it became clear is a question.”
“Okay…”
Anyway, it’s a good thing, so I’m going to have a good time. He approaches the clone again and talks to him.
“By the way, I can’t carry you all the time. Is it possible to cancel the summons?”
“Well? Wouldn’t it be better to use up all my magic power and make it return to the soul stone, or self-destruct?”
“Hmm? What is that? You mean no.”
“Of course. I’m just an automata created based on your memories. How could I know something like that? Ask Euphthesia about such an advanced process.”
“…But.”
Eun-wol listens to the conversation between the two and asks Seong-il a question.
“Hmm… Does that mean that Young master’ alter ego has to stay with us for a while?”
“Ha… That’s right… That’s difficult…”
At the words of the two, the alter ego shrugs his shoulders and interjects into the conversation while fiddling with his mask.
“That’s easy.”
“Hmm?”
“The mask I’m wearing right now is a replica of the mask you’re wearing. It’s easy to fake your identity using this.”
Saying so, the alter ego uses the Great Puppeteer’s Soul Mask to cover its face.
“Hmm… Sure, there’s no problem with that, but by the way, if I can use the Great Puppeteer’s Soul Mask, can I copy and use my other artifacts?”
“No, I can just copy the appearance, but I can’t copy the various mysteries inside.”
“…Was the mask okay?”
To Seongil’s question, the alter ego answers him with a very pitiful expression.
“That’s because everything I do is made with the power of that mask, right? Your automata, strictly speaking, are created when your mask is duplicated. That’s why power comes with it.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Seong-il feels twice as embarrassed as usual when he is beaten up by an alter ego that looks just like him. He replies by raising his hand and scratching the back of his head.
“Yeah… Well, then I guess we’ll have to go together for a while.”
“Yes, that would be good for you too. My experience is ‘shared’ with you.”
“…Share?”
“Yes. Sensitivity sharing. Haven’t you used it before? When attacking Hendrick’s stronghold.”
“Ah… That’s what you mean? But why…?”
“If I gain enlightenment through the teachings of the old man or Eunwol, the experience will flow to you.”
“!!”
Seong-il looks shocked at the alter ego’s words. Seeing him like that, the alter ego sighs lightly and continues the conversation.
“Haa… Why is that? It’s only natural. Back in the day with Eunwol at Pineapple House, that was… Oop Oop…!!”
When her alter ego tries to bring up the story of her flesh mixing, Eun-wol gets scared and shuts his mouth. While dissuading her, her Seong-il continues the conversation.
“Anyway, if you train, I’ll become stronger too, right?”
“Yeah. That’s right. Originally, the ‘soul magic’ applied to the Great Puppet Master’s Soul Mask was used a lot for that purpose.”
“Ohh…”
Seong-il became very happy at the words of his alter ego. But he feels like something strange is poking him in the back of his head.
‘I can tell through the magic and the mask that the alter ego is telling me the truth, but I get the feeling that his words are subtly inconsistent… Is it because of my mood?’
But good is good. Seong-il decides to pass the situation.
“Well, is it good for me anyway?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Yes! Anyway, thank you!!”
“Yeah!! I’ll work hard!!”
After saying that, Seong-il talks to Saek-ma and Eun-wol and prepares to return to reality.
“Eunwol! Old man!! I’m going to go to the world of imagination for a while! Take a break!!”
“Eh? You want to go as soon as you arrive?”
“Yeah! I have something urgent to do…”
“Hee hee!! That’s right! That’s right!! Hurry up!! Oh yeah!!”
Saekma instigated Seong-il with his unique sinister expression, and Eun-wol, perhaps annoyed by his appearance, lightly punched him in the stomach.
“Kheeng!!”
“Don’t give a damn.”
“Khehe… Kek… Neep…”
‘Eunwol is also really… Anyway, the fire was turned off in a hurry. Normally, I would have to start training and attacking in the world of 『Laughing Martial Arts』, But a while ago, a crow advised me that it would be more effective to use sacrifices quickly, even if the situation transcended time and space, so I quickly returned to reality. Let’s attack Ahyeon Lee and eat the dungeon core again!!’
Leaving behind the unpleasant feeling of missing something, Seong-il leaves behind Eun-wol and his alter ego and begins to return to reality.
‘Huh… I’ve only been there for less than half a day, but I feel like I’ve been sucked in by my crazy colleagues.’
Seong-il, who was thinking such useless thoughts, thought while looking at the bed sheets messed up by Lee Ah-hyun’s climax.
‘Hmm… Shall we use the voodoo doll today? Or just use a new color ball tomorrow and watch the progress…?’
Seong-il, who had been thinking about it for a long time. He makes up his mind quickly and makes up his mind.
‘Okay! Once you have a sheet, use it after observing the progress. Do you know The color ball worked well, so I wonder if I don’t have to use the voodoo doll anymore…’
However, he was embarrassed to leave the dirty sheet alone, so he held onto the sheet and murmured quietly.
“Customs!!”
『Plain bed sheet (10 points of duty): Contaminated.』
‘It’s cheap…’
The customs price of the sheet that is not particularly burdensome. Seongil is troublesome to clean, and in order to prevent deterioration of the sheets to be used as sacrifices, she pays customs duties and stuffs the sheets into the inventory.
‘Now… If this is the case, there will be no problems for a few days…? You can sleep in the bedroom of the Pineapple House in the Inner Plane…’
Having done all that, he ends the day calming his pounding heart.
