Survive as a Fortune Teller in Moorim 272

Chapter 272 – Chapter 12 – Purpose

That day

The day I followed other vampires to attack Seomseo and met Yooseong

I was able to watch Yooseong live for about a day while he was tied up and subdued by a woman called his teacher.

‘… I’m doing well.’

At that time, I was living a very peaceful life compared to the time when I destroyed my danjeon and ruined my life so that I would not be able to forget myself.

Who would look at that and think that this is a child who suffered such pain in the past?

… If you see that you don’t recognize me, it’s highly likely that you’ve lost your memory

Then what did I want?

Did he really want to ruin Yoosung’s life and keep her in pain for the rest of her life?

“…”

I hope you spend a day immersed in such worries.

As it got dark, a woman came to see me.

[Hmm. What should I call you? Mr. Geomhwa? Soyeon? Flora?]

Overall, she was a woman who looked similar to the appearance of vampires, and was different from the appearance of people from the central region.

Although he had a unique impression with silver hair and gray eyes, in contrast to those who mainly had black hair and red eyes.

“… Call it whatever you want.”

[Um… Then I’ll just call you by your name. Soyeon? Do you ever want to do a deal with me?]

“… Deal?”

Her next words were something that could not be ignored.

[Where should I begin to explain… Ah, should I introduce myself first? My name is Erdel Saint-Lis. Feel free to call me Erdel. You are a human who followed my hero, whom I know as Dan Yu-seong, to this world.]

‘… It’s not comfortable.’

Everyone from that world, including vampires, had names that were difficult to pronounce.

It was the same over there, so I changed my name as I wanted.

[Personally, I am grateful to you. Thanks to you, I was able to come this far easily.]

“… What do you mean?”

[In order for me to connect a channel to the hero, I first needed to break the ‘shell’ that the god of this world had placed on the hero. You played that role perfectly.]

… Break the shell?

It wasn’t something without guessing.

“Are you talking about Yooseong’s Danjeon?”

[To be exact, it is a shell to deceive the reincarnation of this world called Danyuseong. In order to force a warrior who originally came from another world into reincarnation, it was necessary to purify his memory.]

“Now, wait a minute. I don’t understand. What do you mean? Yooseong is from another world?”

My head became confused because a lot of strange words suddenly appeared.

If what I understand right now is that Yooseong came from another world…

[You understood correctly. The warrior’s soul came from a different world than that world, and the mask he put on to blend in with that world is a person you know named Dan Yu-seong. You have broken that shell.]

“… Yuseong… Is this related to the reason why he doesn’t remember me?”

[Yes. The current hero has completely lost his memories of Dan Yu-seong. Well, he’s still using that name.]

It’s confusing.

In fact, it is confusing that Yooseong came from another world, but it is said that he broke the shell by breaking the Danjeon.

“Well, then who is the real Yooseong? What happened to the Yooseong I knew?”

[Uh… The perspective of seeing it as ‘real’ is wrong… But if you really ask, it doesn’t exist in the world anymore, right? It’s not a proper personality to begin with, and the form that was reincarnated in this world after sealing the memories in the hero’s soul is the Danyuseong you know… Once the hero regains his memories, he will never see his old form again. Well, if I connect the memories of those times and erase them again, it would be the same.]

“… Not in this world?”

How is that different from saying that he is dead?

[No, after all, you know Dan Yu-seong is a warrior, right? The hero who was losing his memory was Dan Yu-seong. Now, I have no memories of that time and am filled with other memories, so my personality is very different from then, but I am the same person physically and spiritually.]

“…”

My head was too complicated.

I thought it was just a loss of memory, but there were some behind-the-scenes events that were difficult to understand, and now Yooseong is not Yooseong, but he is.

I was so confused that I couldn’t get my head around

[Um… I like it. Then, if you accept my offer, I will let you see the warrior you remember back then.]

-Finch!

I heard something that made me sober up.

“… Is that possible?”

[Well, in an age where even the dead can be brought back to life, is there anything wrong with that? If you touch the soul just a little, it will be over quickly.]

“… What do you want?”

I don’t know who this woman is.

But if there is one emotion that I feel instinctively…

[Please help me take over the hero.]

Abnormal obsession with Yooseong.

The same madness that he could give up for one person was shining deep in his eyes.

“… Why do you think I should listen to that?”

[So, it’s a deal. If you help me overcome the obstacles in this world and take over the hero, I will allow you to be with that child for a while.]

“…”

The more we talked, the more I learned.

This woman looks like me.

[Personally, I feel sorry for you. In order to break your shell, I secretly injected a little of my energy into you. At that time, even a piece of my emotions was transferred to you.]

“… What?”

[You don’t think that all the abnormal feelings you feel towards the hero are yours, do you? You may have had that tendency, but the root of that feeling is mine.]

“…”

In order to break that shell, he secretly injected me with power.

In the process, these abnormal feelings I felt toward Yooseong emerged?

[There is no one in the world who loves you more than me.]

“… Okay. How can I help you?”

[Oh. Are you accepting it quickly?]

“Because you said you could see Yooseong again.”

[Great. Then, first… I’ll have to cut off the connection with Warstein. You will be unconscious for a while, but when you wake up again, it will probably be the moment I need you, so you can go through the portal I opened. I’ll tell you the rest then.]

‘… It’s fun’

My eyes were cold and sunken as I looked at the woman who was smiling brightly, probably glad that the offer had been accepted.

* * *

-Wow!

“Ugh!”

I threw away the sword that had grazed my teacher’s clothes and swung my empty hand again, and a new sword appeared from nowhere in my hand.

Is that all?

-Chaeng!

The swords engulfed in red energy moved on their own like giant swords, aiming for the Master’s back, but the sword I just missed moved on its own and struck it down.

“Whew. It looks like you picked up a strange trick in the meantime.”

“It seems there are a lot of strange swords in the world.”

There were more than dozens of swords scattered around like that.

Unique types of swords not seen in the central plains, each with different shapes, colors, and decorations.

“You taught me not to rely on weapons, but with a weapon this unique, wouldn’t it be foolish not to use it?”

“… That’s right.”

There were a lot of really strange swords.

When you swing, flames appear along the path of the sword, or when you hit the ground, a pit appears in that place.

‘Another sword.’

-Chaeng!

[Ice Knight’s Snowflake Sword: A tremendous amount of cold is emitted in the direction it is swung.]

– Quad deuk!

“Ugh!”

Every time I draw a new sword, how to use that sword comes into my head in real time.

The woman said it was a strange ability she gave her, saying, ‘You can use any weapon you want, so make sure no intruders come.’

“Why are you still watching? Master’s strength is not like this!”

“… I just don’t want to waste my energy on you.”

“Ha!”

How much time has passed since he died?

Even though all these years had passed, Master still had not reached the level he was at before I died.

“Why on earth are you saying that being a disciple is so important? It was Master who told me that if I wanted to reach the level of a Taoist monk, I should not be caught up in the personal emotions of the world!”

“…”

“But isn’t it Master who is the most bound by emotions? Even though he is a disciple, who has been caught up in his emotions for ten years because of the sins committed by others, and has not been able to rise to a higher level?”

“… Soyeon.”

“How can I say that you are sacrificing yourself by sacrificing everything for Master?”

-Sereung

[Cursed Inverted Cross Sword: Grants non-stop bleeding when hit]

“That kid was good, and he may have forgiven me, but I can’t forgive.”

Myself. And the teacher who is sacrificing for me.

“In the past, he was a child who really trusted people. So he was betrayed.”

“… I don’t know what you want right now.”

“… Cut off your heart.”

If you truly love that child.

If you really want to save that child.

“Cut down your Simma and then move forward.”

“…”

Master is strong enough

He was someone who became infinitely weak in front of me.

No matter how harshly I tried to scold him, there was always concern in his eyes.

Even after declaring that he would give up his attachment to me, he was unable to get rid of the hesitation that was in his sword.

“… The current Master cannot stop him.”

The Master’s enlightenment had already reached the maximum possible level.

Even before my death, you were looking at the end, so the reason you have not been able to reach the level of Master until now is because of the mental demons that are blocking your path.

While power was inscribed into her soul by the woman while her consciousness was submerged

I could see.

A monster disguised as a human who preyed on all life in a world, whether divine or not.

Even though I became incomparably stronger after receiving the power of a vampire and acquiring strange swords, I couldn’t even picture a single wound.

But Master is different.

If only I could overcome Simma and climb over the wall…

-Saaa

“Ah.”

The sight is colored with plum blossoms.

The season of the teacher who was always begging and pestering and could only be observed from afar.

The strong scent of plum blossoms fills my nose, as if I was transported back to the time when I lived in a volcano.

Gradually, consciousness is buried in the waves of plum blossoms.

‘Even though.’

It’s a dirty feeling that only hurt Yooseong, but

This is also my feeling.

He fell in love with Yooseong at first sight and made him approach her under the pretext of teaching him martial arts.

A foolish feeling that caused all the trouble with just a moment’s misunderstanding, worthless of the patience that was said to be endured.

Those feelings came from someone else?

‘Don’t be funny.’

My feelings. Don’t take the precious feelings you felt for Yooseong on your own.

No matter how wrong it is. That’s also my feeling.

Because it’s something related to Yooseong… It’s precious.

If I can’t have it…

I won’t let you have anything that looks like me.
