LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 26
Episode 26
Jeolyeong (絶影), the origin of the hallucinatory retardation that I have.
There was one singularity about her, who was also the boss of the 4th exorcism series.
– Wow, even if you kill Jeolyoung once, you will come back to life.
– This is the main story from the original phase 2. Illusion Delay Regeneration Character Real;
– When I first started playing, I saw exhaustion and thought that there would be no phase 2 of this, but the reality is…
Exorcism 4 is a sequel that boasted a particularly vicious difficulty throughout the entire series.
And even in the 4 episodes that received such evaluation, Jeolyeong was selected as one of the most difficult bosses to clear.
The reason was simple.
‘Because the second phase after the first victory was so powerful.’
As I said, the soul of a person with the illusion retardation trait belongs to the shadows. In other words, it meant that the source of life was the shadow, not the body.
‘Therefore, the moment life escapes from the body, the enormous power contained in the shadow rushes in through the empty space.’
A state in which the boundary between the body and the shadow is blurred, and the vast energy that has been hidden is overflowing as a result. That was the second phase of the hallucination delay.
‘Honestly, it was half a gamble.’
But there were reasons.
As I have lived with the characteristic for a long time, my side was superior to the absolute perfection in the perfection of the illusion delay characteristic.
So, I didn’t think that Phase 2, which was also applicable to Jeol-yeong, would be impossible for me.
In the original story, Kang-yoon Han eventually died, but it must be because he failed to open up the illusion of retardation. Because in the Exorcism series, the unopened characteristic only gives the holder a demerit, but does not provide any beneficial effects at all.
slurp.
As I glanced down, my shadow was vibrating with a vicious force, as if arbitrarily. It’s definitely the 2nd phase I knew.
‘Anyway, that’s the enemy.’
It’s not even serious to pretend.
Choi Do-won and Baek Ji-eun also seemed to have suffered no damage.

‘… This is going to die.’
It’s definitely an S-rank level monster. At least unless an elite exorcist comes, it’s a difficult opponent to even block. I hardened my expression at the magnificence beyond my imagination.
‘Damn, did your aiming attempt fail?’
But at that moment, the form of Gsendae, who had been standing idly, began to distort as if shaking.
Realizing that my last move had worked, I used my emotions once more.

‘… succeded. It’s definitely weakened.’
Due to my interruption, most of the four offerings failed to fulfill their role.
And before the magic transferred from Han Seo-ah was completed through me, I consumed my life force to the limit with the golden magic of life replacement.
Of course, there must have been a loss in the energy required for resurrection.
In other words, even if consciousness was somehow activated, it was not in a perfect state.
“…Oh, brother.”
“You said it would be fine.”
I tapped Han Seo-ah’s head as she approached me with a look of disbelief.
Just by activating the spell lightly, Han Seo-ah, who was exhausted, fell asleep easily.
“The bust.”
Fuwaak!
Except for the one who was ordered by Choi Do-won, the other one.
When I sent instructions inside, Hung Rang, who jumped out of the shadows, disappeared into the forest with Han Seo-ah and the three others.
‘I thought they’d come right away.’
That’s right.
A monster equivalent to an S-Rank buried under Yeongwol Island.
However, now that I have weakened, they are searching for me without being able to approach me unexpectedly.
Perhaps it is a situation in which it is impossible to make a rational judgment due to an incomplete resurrection.
Nevertheless, you will feel it to some extent.
It’s like my current situation isn’t serious.

【Living patient (B-)】
Thanks to all the power contained in the shadows coming out, my stats are temporarily exploding.
‘There is also one attribute attached.’
I know about the characteristics of living patients. Characteristics that can be obtained with a certain probability if you come back alive in a situation where death is unavoidable,
It has the not bad effect of being able to sustain life stronger than others, with wounds, diseases, or various physical limitations nearby.
‘Overall, the specs have grown quite a bit.’
I don’t know for sure, but at this level, the growth rate was much larger than that of Jeolyeong, the original owner of the trait.
‘There will be after-effects from the second phase, but thanks to that, I have a chance to win.’
Of course, from this point of view, it is still a specification that does not reach even the professors. Although it was an incomplete resurrection, it was not enough to compete with the original S-rank Gsondae.
He was just not moving in an unfamiliar situation, and if he noticed it, it was obvious that he would run right away.
However, it was well worth doing.
In the first place, even in the battles up to now, I had never believed in my own specifications and fought.
“The salt lake. Phantom Maw. Doubly.”
Fuwaak!
[king.]
[Guoo…]
[Kuguk!]
At my call, three shikigami jumped out of the shadows swirling everywhere.
‘This is probably not enough.’
Of course, this does not end here, the two most powerful shikigami I have still remain.
“Noongsu-gwi. Taebaekse.”
Fuhwaah-!
Shadows erupted, and a giant humanoid shikigami that looked like a combination of a rhinoceros and a goblin came out.
It’s the last one of the trump cards like Yeomho and Duduri.
It was the Taebaekse, which was called the skin that the mountain took off.
[Goo
Even with the sound of a low cry, I could clearly feel the air trembling.
On the shoulders of that heavy body, the old squirrel, who had served in the past, sits as if he were a king.
[Kehhih.]
At a glance, the battle in the Central Hall seems to have come to an end. Time is quite tight.
‘If you absorb the proper nutrients, you will gradually regain your original strength.’
The reality is that nutrients such as human life and yogis of the same yokai are all over the place.
Therefore, it was necessary to avoid the occurrence of a situation in which Bi-hyung recovers and restores the genus and returns it to an intact state.
‘There’s nothing special about it.’
After all, the so-called Phase 2 doesn’t last that long.
short-term showdown.
It had to be settled in a short time.
“Noongsoogi.”
When I called my name, Noongsu-gwi shook his head with a shaky expression on his face.
An opponent who looks very powerful even for pretending, of course, you wouldn’t want to fight.
But anyway, the old man’s soul is completely tied to me.
“If you don’t want to die first, curse me quickly.”
[Kehik.]
In the end, Noongsu-gwi, who agreed, announced the start of the battle.
Paz!
In its original form, no matter how weakened it was, the curse of the old man would not have had much effect.
But he was in pain and screamed.
It is thanks to the fact that my soul was tied to me, and Noongsugwi also received a correction for his financial status.
[──!]
With an incomprehensible voice, Gsondae narrowed the distance at an almost invisible speed.
However, Taebaek, who had been instructed in advance, stopped it.
[Oh!]
Quang!
Taebaekse’s entire body was lit up with a burning red light. To tell the truth, it was correct that it was actually burning.
‘About 10 minutes.’
I’ve previously referred to it as a consumable shikigami.
However, in the case of Taebaekse, lifespan is shorter than that of Douduri in some sense.
It was because he was a true short-term decisive shikigami that burned himself for just 10 minutes and poured his energy beyond his limits.
Of course, during those 10 minutes, I can exert more power than any other shikigami I have.
Aww!
It’s crazy!
After a short struggle, Taebaekse, who was pushed back by Gsondae, broke a few trees and fell to the ground.
But that was enough.
[──!]
[···Goo.]
Fuwaak!
Yeomho sent out a wave of thoughts and touched the nerves of Gsondae, and, taking advantage of that gap, Hwanmokmaw spewed out a black mist just like the time of Cheong Haram.
I also didn’t stand still.
“Hwanmong (幻夢).”
Whoops.
Cheongga’s unique intermediate shielding technique, Hwanmong.
Gsendae, trapped in it, broke the barrier with one hand in an instant. At the same time, taking the damage, they dug into the black mist and raided the Hwanmokmaw.
wow!
[···Goo!]
The low-durability Hwanmokmaw disappeared as it was, but the curse of the old-fashioned ogre continued once again by taking advantage of the gap. Taebaek-se, who had come to his senses, also rushed in.
[Kehik!]
[Oh!]
Quang!
Perhaps it was bothersome to the old man who was doing the most damage, and even during the fierce battle, he spewed out a ferocious yogi and sent a curse to the old man.
[──!]
However, there are two counter-type shikigami on this side.
[Kuguk!]
Honey.
Douduri, who took a deep breath and absorbed the curse, fired it at Gsondae with greater power.
[Koo!]
Fuwaak!
Doo-ri, who had accumulated damage from the last battle with Noongsugwi, was eventually removed as if it had melted and dispersed with one last counterattack.
However, the effect was great.
[──!]
Because he started to stagger with a sharp scream.
It was definitely a hit.
Seizing the opportunity, I began to pour an onslaught with the shikigami.
[──!]
[Kehik.]
“Sahokdo Gongrae (私惑到恐來).”
Paz!
Gsendae, who had been beaten by the oncoming attacks, managed to gather his strength and slam the ground.
woohoo!
Then the earth rose from all directions and attacked me, who was commanding the shikigami.
It was probably one of the magic tricks originally possessed as a yokai.
“The Wall of Heaven.”
Whoops!
But, anxiously waiting for an attack to come, I quickly succeeded in unleashing a defensive technique. It was impossible to neglect the vigilance as everything was over the moment it was properly hit even once.
After one number of conversions have gone wrong, they hardly ever use their strength.
If there was a chance, it was now.
‘Noongsoogwi.’
After hearing from my doctors, the old man began to prepare the most powerful curse he could use.
And I, too, finished preparing, and filled with overflowing spiritual power, reciting the mantra.
“··· Mangnae Dohon Half Hal Dogge (望來渡魂 Anti劼渡去).”
Spiritual power began to swirl around me, and Taebaekse, who had been fighting for strength, dyed his body red, and ran to somewhere while holding onto him.
[Oh-!]
thud!
Koo!
thud!
Even though his body was torn to pieces by Gsondae’s fierce resistance, Taebaekse succeeded in pushing his opponent to the place he was aiming for.
It was inside the tomb of dirt from which the sundae had protruded.
Immediately afterward, the curse of the old man who had done all his best was shot at Gsondae.
[Kehik!]
[──!]
Taebaekse, who had been suppressing the dynasty, reached its limit and began to disappear.
But in return, Gsondae showed a perfect loophole without even being able to defend against the attack.
At that very moment, I recited the starting words of the higher magic that I had been preparing for.
It is a ritual that soothes the soul and returns the soul.
A realm that is completely opposite to the half soul magic of Reviving the Lion who revived Gsondae.
“Anti-marriage regression.”
Paz.
Whoops!
[───!!]
Greeted in front of it, he stumbled and let out a hoarse voice that seemed to drain his soul.
The body that had been enveloped in the black mist gradually cracked and crumbled.
The improvised body could no longer contain its soul.
Seeing that scene, I called out the last shikigami that had been hiding all along.
“Tosser.”
Koo woong.
Kuwagwang!
Along with the sound of the ground collapsing, it disappeared into the ground as it was, accompanied by graves.
It did not completely destroy the soul, but it will never come out of the world again.
‘Unless someone calls me back.’
To be honest, I was lucky.
Most of all, the speculative gluttony characteristic of inflating one’s strength by feeding on the opponent’s attack was in a locked state.
‘Even though it was in a greatly weakened state, it was this much.’
As it was an S-Rank, he would have had reason as well. However, due to the incomplete resurrection, only the instinctive aspect seemed to have awakened first.
It would have been a great help if I could do the ministry, but unfortunately the timing is not good. The aftereffects of Phase 2 will come soon enough, so it was too risky to try to minister to someone like that without being prepared.
‘I’m greedy, but I’m not sure if I can handle it for now.’
Basically, as a being of a higher rank than me, it was impossible to know what would happen if I regained the reason I had not awakened. If the kite arrives, there will be another chance someday.
‘…by the way, this is almost annihilation.’
He lost all shikigami except for Yeomho, Noongsugui, and Toseo.
However, in the end, he managed to gamble. I, who should have died here, survived, and Han Seo-ah, who was replaced by him, also survived.
‘This has changed my future.’
A victory obtained by pouring everything into it is a valuable step.
However, it wasn’t completely over yet.
I felt the power slowly draining from my body, and I quickly built up a new technique.
‘A clairvoyant drink.’
Whoops.
Looking around with an enlarged view, as expected, I saw a rain hyung facing off with Yoo Ha-on and his party.
Bi-hyung’s condition was not good as he got out after fighting with the professor, but Yoo Ha-on’s condition was even worse.
Originally, he should have escaped the island with the last blow of Yu Ha-on, who awakened the perm characteristic, but now, Yu Ha-on does not have the perm characteristic to blow that one shot.
“Noongsoogi.”
[Kech?]
“Prepare one more room.”
So, I have to create that blow for you.
