ReLife Player 677(a)

[Chapter 174]

[Foundation for reconstruction (7)]

A 3rd tier overrank skill stone.

From the first time she saw Eunha, she felt a strong attraction.

As expected, the skill stone showed an intense luminescence phenomenon to Eunha.

Eunha was able to accept Ryu Yeon-hwa’s concession and become the owner of the skill stone.

It will take time to embody this.

The skill stone is so big.

Meanwhile, a skill stone larger than one’s head.

Eunha carried it around for two days and infused mana into the skill stone.

Thanks to this, the size of the skill stone was smaller than before.

“What kind of providence does it contain?”

The skill stone is now as small as a fist.

Eunha was lost in thought as she poured mana into a skill stone that was a little too big to hold with one hand.

There were two predictable providences.

A spell that can launch a wide-range bombardment.

And jamming magic.

I wish it was jamming… .

The wide-range bombardment magic was also appealing, but since you don’t have enough mana in your body, you probably won’t have much use for it.

So he hoped for a jamming spell.

There will be less mana burden, and the range of use will be very wide.

Whatever it is, dissolve quickly.

Then you will be able to use it well.

I also obtained an Eulji level artifact and asked Byeok Hae-su to produce the artifact.

I also got one of Yekyung’s skill stones.

Eunha was just in a good mood.

Meanwhile─.

“—Based on our discussions with the Mana Management Organization officials, we have come to the conclusion that the story that the Pandora Clanlord told us earlier is worth a try.”

Lim Ga-eul called the meeting again.

The topic of the meeting was about the operation to bring cocoon to Uijeongbu.

☆

“According to the Intelligence Bureau, the Special Bureau, and the Surveillance Bureau, the Uijeongbu Arts Center remains intact.”

Lim Ga-eul explains.

The Director of Intelligence showed me a photo.

Uijeongbu seen from above.

Although the picture quality was not good, it was generally viewable.

There is a hole in the middle.

Ah, it’s Seoyoung’s fault.

In the photo, Eunha could see a huge crater forming in the center of Uijeongbu.

According to the Director of the Intelligence Bureau, it was the aftermath of Shin Seo-young activating the gift <Miracle> during the previous battle to recapture Uijeongbu.

“Except for about a 500m radius around the location of Uijeongbu Station, fortunately, the shape of the city seems to have remained.”

Lim Ga-eul ordered the photos to be turned over.

Soon the photos flipped over, showing the current state of Uijeongbu.

The area near Uijeongbu Station was so devastated that it could be called a ghost town.

Then the slide stopped.

Compared to the photo taken a little while ago, there was a photo of the building that was in almost perfect condition.

It was Uijeongbu Arts Center.

“This is a photo taken by players who infiltrated Uijeongbu three months ago. The building in the photo is small, but you know the condition of the Seoul Arts Center, right? You won’t know unless you go inside and check it out, but experts say there is a high probability that Cocoon will survive. “They said it would be high.” “”””… … .””””

“It is said that the people who participated in the recapture war at the time placed protective magic and concealment magic on the cocoon. And according to information from three months ago, strangely, it seemed like monsters were not trying to come near the Seoul Arts Center.”

“”””… … .””””

“The high-ranking monsters seem to respect each other’s territory and are keeping their distance from Uijeongbu. What do you think?”

Wouldn’t it be worth a try?

Lim Ga-eul asked with that nuance.

Everyone who expected something she didn’t say was silent.

Well, it was worth it.

It was obvious that if I agreed to her opinion, I would be tasked with entering Uijeongbu, which was occupied by monsters, and bringing back the cocoon.

It is said that there are not as many monsters in Uijeongbu compared to before… .

We have to take into account the monster army that will come down from Yangju, we also have to be wary of the high-ranking monsters that exist in Uijeongbu, and there may be unconfirmed high-ranking monsters.

So it’s inevitable that the clan lords are reluctant.

Eunha understood their feelings.

The majority were people who had experience participating in the Uijeongbu recapture war.

For those who went through hell in Uijeongbu, just the word Uijeongbu brought trauma.

They weren’t the only ones who suffered trauma.

Due to the failure of the first Uijeongbu recapture war, Koreans began to feel fear of Uijeongbu.

“So, I think it would be better to deploy a small number of people to investigate the condition of the cocoon at the Uijeongbu Arts Center and, if it is in good condition, bring it to Gangbuk.”

Is there anyone who wants to go to Uijeongbu?

Perhaps that’s why Lim Ga-eul also spoke in an indirect way.

The clan lords averted their gaze.

The silence became longer.

Finally, she opened her mouth as if she had no choice.

“─Pandora Clan Lord.”

“Yes, fairy.”

“The person who suggested this story is the Pandora Clanlord. If it’s okay, how about the Pandora Clanlord go to Uijeongbu?”

She called Eunha.

The tone of voice was friendly, and the content had the nuance of giving Eunha a choice.

The meaning behind the words was different.

There was no way Eunha didn’t know that.

Since I brought this up, I am saying that you must participate in the operation.

If you say no here, people will probably show an even more negative attitude.

The galaxy’s actions were determined.

That was my intention from the beginning.

“I will follow the fairy’s words. Instead, I would be grateful if you could send a few of our clan members and the Twelve Tables.”

“”””… … !!””””

Uijeongbu is dangerous.

No matter how much he is the Pandora Clanlord, he will never risk his life.

Most people who thought that way turned their heads at what he said.

Pandora Clan Lord, are you crazy?

Pandora Clanlord, think carefully.

This… , no.

Regulus, Shinra, and King Clan Lord.

The three people shook their heads, avoiding Lim Ga-eul’s gaze.

Other clan lords also tried to dissuade him.

“I will do it.”

Nevertheless, the will of Eunha could not be broken.

The clan lords sighed softly when they saw Eunha’s stubbornness.

On the other hand, Lim Ga-eul willingly nodded to Eunha’s answer.

“Yes, then I will ask the Pandora Clan Lord to ask you. I would like you to lead the clan members to the designated location in two days. I will send the detailed schedule to the Pandora Clan as soon as the meeting is over.”

“Fairy, what about reinforcements?”

“As reinforcements… I will send a Maestro and the Twelve Prisis Memories to check the condition of Cocoon. And also….”

The <Witch of Time> who sat on the throne of the Twelve and kept quiet until now.

She brushed away her flowing blonde hair and smiled brightly at Eunha.

Meanwhile, Lim Ga-eul turned her attention to the other twelves.

Then suddenly─.

─Chuck!!

There was a sound full of energy.

Just because Kang Hyeon-cheol raised his hand, a sound like that suddenly came out.

People’s eyes were focused on him.

“Keuhum….Keuhum! Keuhum! Keuhum!” “”””… … .””””

Perhaps because he was thinking about his reputation as the Twelve Chair, Kang Hyeon-cheol cleared his throat and appealed to himself.

His eyes were sparkling.

People stuck out their tongues.

“hmm….”

Lim Ga-eul’s gaze stopped.

Kang Hyeon-cheol nodded his head loudly.

Soon she turned her gaze and spoke to the <Emperor the Terrible> who was sitting next to him.

“Lee Do-jin player. Like the Pandora Clan Lord….”

“Yes, I understand….”

“I’m going!!”

“”””… … .””””

While Lee Do-jin was about to answer.

Finally, Kang Hyeon-cheol couldn’t stand it anymore and got up from his seat.

“Please let me and my clan members go! I will go to Uijeongbu and bring back the cocoon!”

In the distance, the administrator who was acting as the representative of the Blaze Clan pounded his chest.

Either way, Kang Hyeon-cheol continued to ask for him to be chosen.

“ha….”

Lim Ga-eul sighed openly.

He said he would step forward, but there was no justification for not sending Kang Hyeon-cheol.

In the end, she had to give up.

“Yes, player Kang Hyeon-cheol. Then, please help the Pandora Clan Lord to retrieve the Cocoon from Uijeongbu. Please know that this operation will be the most important foundation for rebuilding Gangbuk.”

“Oh yea!!”

The face of the twelve thrones cannot be found.

Kang Hyeon-cheol flippantly said he liked it.

“That person is really….”

<The Virgin Mary> Park Hye-rim gritted her teeth.

People sighed.

And Eunha, who suddenly moved to <Yemma> and Uijeongbu—.

“—Should I just ask them to take it out?”

Anticipating what will happen in the future.

Eunha slumped her shoulders.

That guy must be so mean.

The thought of spending a few days with Kang Hyeon-cheol in Uijeongbu was terrifying.

☆

After the meeting that day.

Eunha sent Jeong Ha and Noh Eun-ah away and chased after the old man walking down the hallway.

“Teacher Baek Seo-jin.” “Who is your teacher? When have I ever accepted you as a student?”

“Well, since you taught me how to use a sword, of course I should call you teacher.”

“That guy, Won….”

<King of Darkness> Baek Seo-jin.

Eunha called him out.

Baek Seo-jin turned his back and smiled at Eunha.

“Yes, Clanlord Pandora. What brought you here?”

The hallway leading to the surveillance office.

Mana Management Organization Minister

He, also known as Ido, asked Eunha.

“I want to ask you something.”

“Okay, ask. I’ll tell you if I know.”

Actually, since I became a player and met Baek Seo-jin again.

Eunha was looking for an opportunity.

However, a lot of things happened recently, and I forgot to ask, so I was missing the right time to ask.

And in a few days, I will leave Uijeongbu and not see Baek Seo-jin for a while.

That was why Eunha went out of her way to chase after him and talk to him today.

There aren’t many opportunities to meet Teacher Baek Seo-jin.

If the quasi-Twelve qualifications are returned, it will become even more difficult to see them.

So you should ask before that.

This is something I’ve wanted to ask since last year.

It was a curiosity that arose from then on.

Eunha opened her mouth.

“—Teacher, you know a player called <Necromancer> Ban Ik-hyeon, right?”

“…How do you know that?”

“When I was attending the academy, I asked <Geomhu> about it.”

“<After the Sword>…. Yes, I guess Jinhee told you about it.”

<Necromancer> Ban Ik-hyeon.

A player called a living myth.

However, the player was erased from history because he used an unrecognized power to control the dead.

Last year, Eunha faced Armageddon, the head of the exorcism, through the body of <Madame> Bebe, and she kept thinking about it.

I kept looking for an answer.

What kind of person is <Necromancer>?

And─.

─Does Baek Seo-jin know that <Necromancer> did not actually die, but was transformed into a demon and became Armageddon?

It was the question he wanted to ask the most.

Eunha looked straight at Baek Seo-jin without taking her eyes off him.

“<Necromancer>… It’s been a long time since I heard this nickname.”

“…….”

“But the nickname <Necromancer> refers to that guy, but it is an incomplete nickname. Jinhee, it may be because they want to lower the true value of that guy in some way, but if you want to completely understand Ban Ik-Hyeon, you have to use a different nickname.”

“<The Sorcerer King>?”

“Yes, <Sorcerer King>. He didn’t just study magic to manipulate the dead.”

There were only two people in the hallway.

Nevertheless, Baek Seo-jin looked around and spoke to Eunha.

“His essence lies in exploring demons. Necromancy is nothing more than a by-product to him.” “What does it mean to explore demons? I don’t really understand….”

“To put it simply, it is about exploring mana. Furthermore, it is about exploring beings and the world made of mana.”

“…Why is that taboo?”

“Hwang Jin-hee said that?”

“…yes.”

“If it’s Jinhee’s personality, that could be the case. If you think that the essence of the devil is simply Ikhyeon’s necromancy. Exploring the devil is not a bad thing. Couldn’t the things you learned at the academy also be said to be exploring the devil?”

Baek Seo-jin laughed.

Eunha thought back to what he said in her head.

After hearing about it from Hwang Jin-hee in <After the Sword>, Eun-ha thought that exploring demons itself was simply learning mana studies, something that humans should not do.

But Baek Seo-jin firmly answered no.

Nevertheless, Eunha had unanswered questions.

“Then what did the <Magic King> study in the past that led him to use things like necromancy? You said earlier that it was nothing more than a by-product.”

What was the fundamental study of <The Sorcerer King>?

The question is, why did he study so hard to continue using necromancy that people frowned upon?

And Eunha guessed that it might have something to do with the transformation of <The Sorcerer King> into Armageddon.

Baek Seo-jin responded in one word.

“—Soul.”

“yes?”

“You could say that what Ikhyeon was exploring was the human soul. Specifically, he was trying to find out how the soul works in the world. Things like necromancy are nothing more than a by-product of what he learned in the process of studying the soul.”

“The soul… does it really exist?”

“Well, there are people who believe and there are people who don’t believe, so it depends on the people.”

In Manaology, the concept of soul was an area that had not yet been elucidated.

Mental body, soul, etc.

Not much was revealed.

For this reason, the positions of those studying manaology were also divided.

Some people say they have souls.

It is said that some types are not souls but mere thoughts.

In the case of the galaxy, it was neutral.

“But from Ikhyeon’s perspective, he had no choice but to cling to the concept of the soul. He had a lot of mana in his body, but his heart wasn’t in good condition, so his body wasn’t that good.”

“…….”

“So I thought that if I studied the soul, I might be able to reconstruct the body. And the research seemed to have paid off, and I started to get healthier. But the problem is….” “What’s the problem?”

Baek Seo-jin blurted out his words.

Should I say it or not?

He seemed lost in thought.

Soon Baek Seo-jin opened his mouth to Eunha’s question.

“Ikhyeon embodied the myth and manifested it again. As the myth manifested, the body could not overcome the weight of the myth and began to face death.” “Myth?”

“It’s complicated to explain… Just know that there is such a state. There is no need to know now. Just think of it as having been eaten by that bastard’s own magic and slowly dying.” “…….”

“In such a situation, Ikhyeon had no choice but to become even more obsessed with studying souls. But in the end, he could not avoid death and died.”

Baek Seo-jin’s eyes sank.

He didn’t say anything for a while, as if he was lost in old memories.

“…I think I’ve said everything I need to say, so I’ll stop going now.”

He said he had nothing more to say.

Baek Seo-jin turned his back.

“teacher.”

“Again, why?”

Then Eunha called him again.

Baek Seo-jin responded in an irritated tone.

In response, the galaxy─.

“─What do you think if that person is not actually dead but came back to life as a demon?”

“Mine?”

As for the word Mine.

A chill appeared in Baek Seo-jin’s eyes.

☆

“The demon was the solution that Ikhyeon arrived at after researching. Not only did it reconstruct the body, but it also referred to a being that went one step further than a human.”

In the future, we need a connection with darkness.

<Madame> Bebe was a person of darkness.

The fact that Armageddon knows about her probably means that he has penetrated deeply into the darkness without Baek Seo-jin’s knowledge.

In response, Eunha told him about an incident that occurred last year.

“But that guy didn’t die, he completed his research and came back to life as a demon….”

After listening to Eunha’s story.

Baek Seo-jin, who at first showed displeasure by telling people not to play around, also showed an attitude of agreement.

Furthermore, he expressed displeasure at the story that Ban Ik-hyeon had come back to life and infiltrated the darkness he had created.

“Eunha, listening to what you said, we can’t easily rule out the possibility that demons have infiltrated the darkness.”

“Yes, so I hope you will crack down on the dark side.” “It’s originally under my jurisdiction. I will do it even if you don’t ask me to. By the way, it happened in the dark, and there are things I don’t know….”

I guess I’m old too.

Baek Seo-jin muttered quietly.

On the other hand, his face was cold and frozen.

It’s quite unpleasant.

He showed cold anger.

“Thank you for letting me know. I’ll look into it as soon as I get back.”

“Yes, please.”

Eunha sent Baek Seo-jin that way.

Then he stood there for a long time.

“It’s a darkness that the teacher doesn’t know about….”

Is that really possible?

Eunha could hardly believe it.

One could have thought that Armageddon’s skills were that great.

At the same time─.

─As Teacher Baek Seo-jin said, I may have gotten older and my skills are no longer as good as they used to be.

Baek Seo-jin may be weak.

So, in his previous life, the power of darkness may have passed from his hands to Seonwoo Hwaryeong and Han Chang-jin of <Naw>.

Eunha couldn’t erase those thoughts.

“Contrary to what I thought… Teacher Baek Seo-jin was not able to properly control the darkness.”

There are many gaps in the darkness.

In that case, you have no choice but to fill the gap yourself.

Eunha made a promise.

☆

That night.

The two shadows visited the mortuary where the players who died in this disaster were buried.

Security was meaningless to them.

“Cluck.”

An old man wearing sunglasses even at night.

When the old man hit the floor with his cane, the space split apart.

Soon, an old man and a sharp-looking man entered the gaping space.

“It must be here somewhere.”

“is it.”

There were countless coffins arranged in an orderly manner on the floor.

The man who came forward walked back and forth between the coffins, looking for something.

After a while─.

“—Here you are, Ontaeyang.” “Open it.”

The man stopped in front of the coffin he was looking for.

The old man shook the floor with his cane and approached the coffin the man had found.

“Hoo….”

The man opened the coffin.

The coffin contained the body of a man wrapped in white cloth.

Only the face is visible.

A corpse with a pale face and closed eyes.

The old man saw the face of the man he was looking for and tore the corners of his mouth.

“Let me see.”

The old man placed his hand upwards on the corpse’s chest.

I checked the condition of the body by flowing mana.

It didn’t take long.

The old man clicked his tongue lightly.

“There is a knife wound on the heart. Tsk, in this case, repairing it would be a task. I wonder if the heart will be fine after repairing it.” “But other than the heart, everything else seems fine.”

“Hmm… I guess I should take it, study it, and restore it.”

The old man snapped his fingers.

The space widened again.

The man sighed softly, saying that he would just leave the work to him.

At the same time, he lifted the body and walked into the torn space.

Soon the man poked his head out of the space.

“If you leave the coffin empty like that, you will be caught. What do you plan to do?”

“There is a body that I found last time. Instead, we can put it in the place and do a little work on the face. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”

The old man snaps his fingers again.

A corpse appeared in the coffin.

The old man used magic to make the corpse’s face resemble the face of the corpse that had been there a moment ago.

“If it goes into the fire and turns to ashes anyway, that’s it, so who cares? You won’t get caught, ok.”

A body that makes you confident that it will be able to perfectly embody the myth.

The old man, Armageddon, was very happy.

“What attracts me the most is Noh Eun-ha’s body, but I can’t help it.” “He’s built up a bit of a myth, so there’s no need for any troublesome procedures.”

“That’s right. It’s a shame, it’s a real shame.”

“Compared to that, Ontaeyang’s body hasn’t accumulated any achievements, so we’ll have to start from the bottom.”

“We will have to reorganize the process that connects the Mana Church, the Manasin, and me. Even if we steal this child’s body, there is no point in just taking the body.”

Mana religion = Manasin = Armageddon.

Here, one more process called ‘=On Taeyang’ needs to be added.

It will take a long time.

That is the foundation for reconstruction.

The foundation for becoming a god.

Still, Armageddon couldn’t help the smile on his face.
