Chapter 621 – The Doll’s Knight
‘…But what the hell is this esoteric saying that response is important to me? Why?’
There is no way that Gamyeong gave advice with strong stimulation for nothing, so Seongil decides to persistently inquire about the contents of the multiple inner world.
“Is the multiple inner worlds a secret technique that is used by the alter ego to take care of the affairs when the main body is defeated?
“Haha. That’s just an additional use. Compared to its original use, it’s an insignificant use.”
It is a Seong-il question that is tantamount to probing his secret, but Ruchel continues to explain about 『The Multiple Inner World』 Without the slightest discomfort to him.
“Spying, which projects souls outward, is in fact a mere catch technique that has little meaning, but also has serious flaws.”
“Hmm? Why…? Now that I look at it, the presence of the split spirit is insignificant, so I can lightly ignore the enemy’s borders and explore, and even pass through objects freely?”
“Whoa… That’s right. That part is a really big advantage. However, there is a fatal problem with the split soul that if it gets farther away from the original soul, its power gradually weakens and can disappear.”
“Ah…”
“Even the information obtained by the split soul has to be reunited with the main body, but the main body can read the split soul information.
“Okay…”
Even if you listened roughly, there seemed to be a lot of problems with projecting your split soul to the outside. However, even so, as the proud expression on Ruchel’s face remains thick, her Seong-il continues to ask questions with a curious look.
“Then what is your main purpose?”
“The first is astrology.”
“…Astrology?”
“Yes. Astrology. That which predicts the future.”
After questioning Seong-il, Ruchel takes out a large crystal ball from her arms and shows it to Seong-il.
“For example, I can predict the future through the power of a crystal ball and stars. However, mortals peeping into the future is a representative taboo.”
“Hmm…”
“If you frequently spy on important futures, you may encounter a strong backlash from fate and suffer a serious level of rebellion, especially in the spirit.”
“No way?”
Hearing Ruchel’s explanation, he feels something catchy. When she seems to have understood a little bit, Ruchel nodded her head and continued her words.
“Yes. Originally, the more divination is done, the more indelible scars will be left on the soul, but if you do fortune-telling with the division spirit as the main, you can hand over the half book to the division division, so you can escape the crisis. I knew in advance and prevented it in advance.”
‘Somehow… For a noble man who lives in seclusion, he’s very new to me.’
Seong-il realized how Lucille, who had been living in seclusion all her life, had acquired important information. Just as he seems to understand his words, Ruchel begins to recite another usage.
“The second is emotion regulation.”
“…Emotional control?”
“Yes. If the emotional ups and downs exceed a certain threshold, you can hand it over to the split soul. In this case, you can prevent the main body from falling into unnecessary fear, anger, or sadness.”
“Um… Isn’t that too inhuman?”
A usage that doesn’t look particularly good. Seong-il responds negatively to Ruchel’s words because it can be seen as meaning that he intentionally creates a human with no emotions.
“You can see it that way. But, I am a mage. Calmness is very important, so emotional control is a very important issue for a mage.”
‘Well… Magic in this world is strongly influenced by the user’s emotions, so emotion control is a really important area for wizards.’
Seong-il was about to nod after understanding. Lucille smiled bitterly and continued her words cautiously.
“Also… Due to the nature of the work I do, I often unwillingly look into the dark side of the world. That thing I call the abyss.”
“Ah…”
“A normal person could have serious problems with their soul or mind just by looking at it. The secret art of controlling emotions that prevents that is really helpful to me.”
‘But…’
As much as it is hostile to the god who controls death. Ruchel has no choice but to see terrible things often. Seong-il hears his explanation and realizes how important the secret art is to him.
“And… The most important last one. The most important advantage of occultism is that it can explosively increase the number of magic powers and spells depending on the level of skill.”
“!!!”
“Sharing the inner world is in line with the other words that you can copy and have a new magic hierarchy.”
“Is that possible…?! I know that practicing the inner world. Touching it is extremely arduous and difficult…?”
Seong-il, who studied hard at the Mythology Academy as well as information about the world, the theoretical part related to magic and psychic powers, is shocked to learn how difficult Ruchel’s words are.
“Surprisingly, magic is a creative secret technique that reassembles the inner world close to chaos with its own rules.”
“…”
“The process is arduous and takes a long time, but once created in the soul, surprisingly, it is neither easily changed nor destroyed.
‘This part…!!’
Seong-il succeeds in receiving a strong inspiration through response in the part where Ruchel recites about the last merit.
“…If we can delicately separate the white spirits and make them as similar to the original spirits as possible through esoteric techniques, we will be able to copy the inner magical world in miniature form.”
“What level is it compared to the main body…?”
“If the main body is 10, the split marriage is about 1 or 2…? Depending on the practitioner’s occult proficiency, it’s a little different. However, if the proficiency is low, there are times when it can’t be copied at all.”
“Ohh…”
“In the end, it will take a long time, but if you craft 5 or more split souls well, you can double the number of spells you originally have. That’s a huge advantage.”
Ruchel’s explanation was that he had no choice but to agree. In addition, Seongil instinctively feels that if he can learn Ruchel’s secret technique, he can use multiple abilities.
‘What immediately comes to mind is… How to copy the magic book of all things into a degraded version using this secret technique…’
‘Even if it’s a degraded version, so it’s used less often, or if you can only use low classes, like in the past Wonder Spellbook, the effect will be enormous!!’
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. For Seong-il, who has to conserve his magic because of the restrictions of five times a day, he might be able to overcome one of his fatal weaknesses, if only he could duplicate the magic book, which has now become part of his inner world.
‘…Isn’t this the correct answer?’
However, surprisingly, the emotion whispers that the benefit that this 『Multiple Inner World』 Will give to Seong-il is not just copying sorcery books.
‘There’s something else… I don’t know what it is yet.’
Seong-il is overcome with emotion that takes his breath away from just the idea that comes to his mind, but Seong-il thinks that he will learn this secret technique no matter what.
“Could you pass on my secret art to me? Of course, I’m not saying I’ll give it to you for free. I have many mystic arts that are as valuable as multiple inner worlds. There are also many rare artifacts.”
Seong-il confidently asks him for a deal because even if he has a magic imprint right now, he can give Ruchel a huge benefit.
“Hmm… That sounds difficult.”
“Yes? Why? I have a secret technique called magic engraving… This is…”
“No, no. That’s not what I meant. Multiple inner worlds aren’t occult techniques that can be taught in the first place.”
“…”
At Seong-il’s active courtship, Ruchel looks troubled and begins to explain why he can’t pass it on.
“This secret art is not something that can be learned through training. Basically, it is a secret art that can only be learned if you have divine power.”
After answering like that, Ruchel calmly begins to explain to Seongil how she learned the secret arts.
“…You mean it’s a secret technique engraved into the soul after accidentally absorbing the essence of an unknown god in the past?”
“Yes. The occult is essentially impossible to practice unless you absorb a piece of the god’s soul. Besides, it’s actually half a curse.”
“…Curse?”
Seong-il asks Mitchell with a slightly puzzled look at the word sudden curse.
“Yes. In fact, cutting the soul is not an act that can be called an auspicious act, but it is rather close to being forbidden. The reason I obtained the piece of an unknown god in the first place is that the god’s remains were scattering evil powers outside. Seal It accidentally got stuck in my soul.”
“Ah…”
“Originally, my personality should have been separated into good and evil by mystic arts without being controlled. Fortunately, I was able to control this power because I was blessed by the Earth Mother. If it were not for her blessing, I would be a madman. Would have been.”
“Hmm…”
Despite Ruchel’s bloody words, Seong-il could instinctively feel that the problem would not be a problem for him.
‘…I have two skill copy tickets left right now, right? Do you think I can learn without problems if I use it?’
‘The Inner Plane is a secret technique that cannot be used or learned without the essence of a god, right? Then…’
Since he even has an absolute mental defense called the game master, Seong-il is confident that copying and using secret techniques will not cause any problems for him.
‘Even the throne of the cursed world, the absolute abyss, couldn’t destroy my soul, but that thing like the curse of a dead god…’
The experience of facing the final king in the field instills more confidence in Seong-il.
‘First of all… I’ll have to copy the multiple inner worlds to the scroll. However, copying right now requires exposing my ability, so it’s a bit different now. Let’s say Lucille chooses one of the three options I suggested before and then handles it…’
Seong-il decides to put off the choice for a while as he decides to write secretly when Ruchel says he will read the whole truth, and if he replies that he will only get a limited truth.
‘Should I give it a minute?’
I’ll answer all your questions. Seong-il decides to give Ruchel time to choose, and in the meantime, decides to take a break.
‘In case you don’t know, let’s try memory editing with nano machines and memory beads during that time.’
If Ruchel responds that she wants to know the whole truth, Seong-il plans to inject the information into the marble as delicately as possible for the rest of the time, as she could cause serious mental problems for him if she doesn’t properly prepare the material to be delivered.
“Cookie?”
“Yes. Leave it aside.”
Thus, the three men and women begin to take a break under the heavy atmosphere for a while.
***
“I have decided.”
“Hmm? Already?”
Seong-il looks puzzled when he sees Ruchel making a decision in just an hour or two after asking for half a day.
“Yes. I’ve been looking at the risks, but the stars advise me that I’ll be able to handle it. I’ll choose the last option.”
To everyone’s surprise, Lucille says she will hear the whole truth. Seong-il nods her head with a firm expression on his choice.
‘I tried to remove the irritating parts as much as possible, but…’
Using the terrifying performance of the nanocomputer in her body, she carefully extracted her life as a video to make it less harmful to Lucille as much as possible, but she couldn’t stop worrying about her holy days.
‘…I have Dr. Jun’s case, so it’s okay, right?’
“This…?”
“It’s an artifact that contains memories. Using it, you can vividly examine your memories as if you had experienced them yourself.”
“Oh, I see.”
As if she had completely let go of her vigilance about the holy day, Ruchel obediently picked up the marble he handed her.
“…!!”
As soon as you pick up the marble, the enormous amount of information that comes into your head. They begin to appear to Ruchel as vividly as the reality unfolding before her eyes.
