Chapter 773 – Guardian of the Dungeon
“It’s simple. The bag is just a kind of flesh if you compare it to a body.”
Ruchel begins to explain his opinion by comparing the soul to the human body. Unlike the original spirit, where everything such as flesh, bone marrow, and blood is mixed. Since division is a power that is thoroughly focused on the role of flesh, Ruchel expresses his opinion that the act of trying to fill the original soul with division has a high possibility of having limitations or side effects.
“Certainly that is so. However, the condition of my soul is deteriorating with time. That’s why I want to hold on to even the slightest hope. It’s a pity that there are still many areas of magic that I want to explore to die like this.”
“Hmm.”
When the Draco Lich said that, Ruchel nodded in agreement as he couldn’t help it.
“I can’t help it if it’s that urgent. I’ll let you know.”
Having said that, Ruchel asks the Dracolich what kind of reward he can give. Then, Richie explains to Ruchel that his speciality is magic that deals with souls, such as necromancer or soul magic, and proposes a deal based on her knowledge.
『If that’s a complaint, I can make a special undead.』
“…A special undead?”
Although Ruchel wasn’t particularly interested in the undead, she thought it wouldn’t hurt to hear about the ‘special’ thing the mighty dragon in front of her could craft. She asks him about the undead.
“It is simple. He said that he would use some of my bones as a sacrifice to make something like dragon soldiers. Or an artifact containing magic.”
“Hmm…”
Ruchel hears the Dracolich’s proposal and considers it ambiguous. Instead of the exchange of knowledge offered to him by Richie, he asks how to solve the problem he is facing.
『Please tell me how to easily neutralize that puppet soldier?』
“That’s right.”
Based on his memory beads, Ruchel starts explaining about the doll soldiers that the Grand Empire is trying to mass-produce. Seeing its mechanism, the dracolich looks in awe.
『You are innate!! Necromancy magic isn’t developed in your world, but how is the secret art that deals with the power of the soul so active?”
“Ah, that’s it.”
Seong-il tells the surprised Dracolich about the knight of Aira’s ancestor doll. Hearing all these stories, Dracolich is amazed and asks Seong-il to show 『Doll: Death』 And 『Doll of the Maker』.
“Oh, nothing difficult.”
At the request of the Dracolich, Seong-il summons two minions without hesitation and colonizes them in front of him. Seeing the perfect ‘doll’ and ‘death knight’, which are practically lifelike creatures that resemble Seong-il, the dracolich laughs and laughs and looks at them with a joyful expression.
『To be able to see the beings of such a great soul in my life!! It seems that my life in the past, where I struggled to preserve my memories, was not in vain!!”
Having said that, Dracorich looks at Ruchel and tells him to give himself time. In addition, he says that a possible doll soldier body or at least a wreckage is needed.
『That much should be enough to quickly deal with it.』
“Oh, don’t worry about that. There are already a few out there. Just bring them.”
Having said that, Ruchel insinuatedly looked at Holy Day. It’s as if she wants to pay her customs after she hunts dolls for herself.
“…Then pass on the secret arts. I’ll bring you a doll.”
It was obvious that Ruchel and Dracolich would need time for vision exchanges for a few days anyway, so Seong-il smiles bitterly and starts hunting for dolls in the world of doll knights while they exchange visions.
Knocked up…!! Hard!!
“It’s nothing…”
Seong-il uses telekinesis to hold onto the glowing doll so as not to damage the doll he hunted, and uses his emotions to judge the doll’s abilities. He judges the doll’s abilities based on the game story he has now deduced from Ruchel’s testimony.
‘…The story must have been twisted because I quickly killed the apostle and brought Aira back from the world of dolls.’
Compared to the doll soldiers described in the game, the abilities of the dolls are terrible. Seong-il realizes that the butterfly effect has exploded because of what he has done.
“Well… From my point of view, thank you.”
If the ambitions of the Grand Empire were to be thwarted, there would be nothing wrong with Seong-il himself, so Seong-il watched the two main characters in stealth while holding on to the steel doll, which was strongly restrained by psychokinesis.
“Hey!! Why are you rushing while leaving the steel behind!?”
“Why? It’s a warrior’s job to protect Caster! And I’m a full-fledged warrior now!”
“You’re laughing~ Shoot a bow from behind! You’re talking like a warrior.”
Two boys and girls bickering over dozens of broken dolls, looking at each other. Seong-il, who saw that cute figure, smiled and nodded his head.
‘I’m doing just fine. It’s growing wonderfully.’
Seeing that Theo and Mila seem to be coping well enough without his help, Seong-il feels relieved and checks customs duties so that he can bring the captured doll back to life.
『Puppet Soldier of the Grand Empire: 10,000 Duty Points』
“Oh dear…”
When he spends 10,000 points like blood to secure a doll that he doesn’t particularly need, Seong-il starts to grumble with a frown on his face.
“Fuck… I’ll definitely pay for it…”
Back then when Seong-il grumbled in a voice full of annoyance. The two protagonists, who had been bickering, raise their weapons and shout while looking in the direction where Seongil is.
“Who is this!!”
‘Oh…?’
Surprisingly, despite being quite far away, when the main character seems to have succeeded in hearing his grumbling, Seong-il is startled and quickly leaves the place.
‘I heard that doll owners have sensitive senses… Is that true…?’
As the owner of the doll shared the ability little by little the more they used the doll, the two main characters seemed to have overwhelming physical abilities than ordinary people. Surprised by their reaction, Seong-il quickly returns to reality while holding the captivated doll.
“Here it is.”
Upon receiving the doll Seong-il brought, Dracolich begins to analyze it with Lucille. At the same time, the dracolich prepares to imbue his soul with knowledge, as promised to reward Seongil.
『Give me a doll with a spirit of resentment.』
Seong-il obediently gives him a doll for marriage as requested by Dracolich. Then, the dracolich begins to imbue the doll with strange soul powers. Then, the split-married doll trembled intensely.
“Certainly, it’s going to be a crowd. Doing it to a normal human would be a problem.”
“…Am I okay?”
『Can I call you a ‘normal’ ‘human’? A half-god level monster that can even beat a dragon?』
“…If you say that, I have nothing to say.”
Leaving Dracolich and Lucille behind, Seong-il begins to calmly walk towards Youngsaem with a doll.
“…If something happens, make sure to feed me the elixir, you know?”
“Trust me. I’ll die in your place as the substitute for death.”
Seong-il, who received a trustworthy answer from the alter ego of the Creator, nodded and with a serious expression absorbed the spirit given by the dracolich.
“Kuh…!!”
When the original marriage and the second marriage are combined, knowledge begins to pour into Seong-il’s head like a waterfall. If it was a fair bit of knowledge, his powerful body and nanomachines would have easily digested it, but this knowledge contains the essence of knowledge created by a great dragon who has honed his vision for countless years, putting a considerable load on the head of such a strong saint. Succeed in
“Sibal… I thought it would end.”
Seong-il, who managed to digest the knowledge after consuming quite a long time, tries to summarize the knowledge with his throbbing head.
“…If I cut my soul in half and turn it into a lighthouse and install it on the main inner plane, I can strengthen the soul’s pineapple house?”
Seong-il feels that the installation of the lighthouse will greatly ease the restrictions on the inner plane and the pineapple house of the soul. Even Seong-il felt that if he used this power well, he could even strengthen his alter ego’s power.
‘I think I’ll be able to receive something important other than this.
However, Seong-il is still reluctant to split his soul in half to make a lighthouse. Rather than hastily setting up a lighthouse, he decides to cast the vision after seeing whether the dracolich can use this multiple inner world to restore his soul.
‘There is no need to rush out and experience the side effects, right? It’s enough if you experiment instead of me to see if the Dracolich can restore the soul to the multiple inner world this time.’
That’s how Seong-il tries to minimize the risk by waiting calmly rather than causing problems by turning his eyes to immediate benefits. Because of this, he rests inside the Inner Plane for the first time in a while and calmly waits for Dracolich and Ruchel to practice their magic.
