chapter 543
543 – The One Who Revives (2)
“Seuuu-hua-“
Cha Seon-saeng’s breathing is gradually becoming more stable.
Is it because of my mood that I look healthier now than when I was alive?
‘I really brought it back to the state it was in before I died…’
Because I have sensitive senses, I can detect even the subtlest differences in the flow of a hunter’s magic power.
The now resurrected Chaeon Saeng was the same person as he was before his death, without any errors.
‘The process may have been bizarre, but bringing it back to life is real.’
– A miracle occurred that brought dead creatures back to life!
– Acquired the achievement [The One Who Causes It]!
‘Oh… Please get me an achievement.’
[The one who raises it up]
– Every time you revive a creature that has accumulated karma above a certain level, the ‘weight of existence’ increases significantly.
– If the saved creature dies again, it is accepted as a minion.
‘There are more ways to increase the weight of existence. I also like that when it dies again, it automatically belongs to me. It’s a good achievement.’
And after about five minutes, Cha Seon-saeng finally opened his eyes.
Hehe—─!! Hehe…!!”
Cha Seon-saeng wakes up in shock, coughing up a bucket of dark red blood.
“Huh-uh-uhh-what, what!! What on earth happened?!”
It was clear that he was still not fully aware of what had happened to him.
“Mr. Cha, would you like to come here and talk?”
I asked to sit on a seat made of stone on the floor of a dark space.
“Huh?! Who are you?!”
“Ah… That’s right. Would you recognize me if I put on some armor?”
[Flame Armor]
“You, you, you!!”
Cha Seon-saeng was scared when he saw me in armor, took a step back, and pulled out a weapon straight from subspace.
“Whoa, why don’t you calm down.”
Cha Seon-saeng approaches me swinging a huge mace that matches his size. I haven’t heard of him using a mace, but he seems quite wary.
“What on earth did you do to me?! I’m sure I should have died, right?”
Just by looking at his trembling fingers, I could tell that he was very scared.
‘The power of death…’
Realizing once again that no one can downplay death, I pointed my chin at him.
“Hit it.”
“What?”
“Hit my face with that iron ball, you b*stard.” Are you deaf?”
I provoked him, and Mr. Cha seemed to hesitate for a moment and then let go of the chain of the mace he was swinging.
Wow!!
The mace flew far behind my face.
‘Wow… What kind of power is this – it feels like the Twin Head Ogre has descended.’
However, although it was an amazing force that caused the entire rock on the beach to shatter and explode, it was a deadly attack that did not even touch my body.
“Ugh… Damn… Why are you doing this?”
Cha Seon-saeng was very embarrassed because he could not attack as he wanted.
“Hmm… As expected. Confirmed.”
“What do you mean!”
It was said that a being who has consumed the elixir of life cannot defy me.
Even if they did tell you to attack me, the fact that you only got this kind of result meant something.
“But Cha Seon-saeng, why do you keep speaking informally? From now on, please use polite language with me.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Mr. Cha, who had spoken politely without realizing it, hurriedly backed away from him, covering his mouth.
“Please tell me what you did to me!!”
Haha, funny. He really does everything he says.”
Although it is neither a demon nor a minion, it has become equivalent to one.
Of course, the big difference is that there is no such thing as absolute loyalty, but it wasn’t that bad.
It’s also unbalanced to have subordinates who only talk too loudly.
“Come here.”
“Ugh…!”
Mr. Cha came towards me in a crawling position on the floor, as if he was being dragged by someone.
“Kneel.”
“Ah, no- ugh…!”
Coo!
A giant with a mace was kneeling in front of me, terrified.
‘It must be scary for me too.’
It was terrifying to think that the person who killed him and brought him back to life was right in front of him.
“First of all, you must not talk about me to anyone.”
“······.”
“Answer.”
“··· Yes.”
“Do you remember that you died?”
“··· I remember it clearly.”
‘You’re pretty quick to adapt. My personality seems to have become a bit calmer. Is this what it means to have one’s personality twisted in an unknown direction?’
I thought I would go crazy or go crazy, but it turned out to be milder than I thought.
“Rather… How do you feel? From what I see, your combat power seems to have increased by approximately 20% compared to before you died.”
What I’m most curious about is this.
“······Definitely. I feel like I’ve grown…I feel like I’m home…How on earth is this possible…?”
“Do you feel anything other than your abilities?”
“It’s like there’s nothing else… Huh?!”
The guy who was thinking deeply stretched out his fist, and to my surprise, his fist stuck out behind my back.
“Oh… What kind of ability is that?”
“I developed the ability called [Partial Phase Shift]… And did it.”
“Isn’t that awesome?”
“It is the best gift for a melee warrior.”
It is a similar ability to the ability used by ‘Dregs of Chaos’ in the past, and even for similar skills, the skill name may vary depending on the attributes and characteristics used.
‘It was also written that if you die and come back to life, your potential will be awakened. It would have been difficult to acquire that skill without an innate understanding of space in the first place… I guess I had the potential to develop into that line.’
“Well, I did a quick check. Ah, from now on, you must absolutely obey and follow my orders.”
“······Why should I-“
“Are you going to obey or not?”
“Uuuh…”
Teacher Cha gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly, then nodded his head vigorously.
“Spit it out with your mouth. I will obey.”
“I will obey…”
“Okay, you can call me master or something.”
“Yes… Lord, master…”
“And don’t do anything other than your daily activities unless I tell you to. In particular, you are prohibited from doing any of the evil deeds you have done so far.”
“Evil deeds…”
But the guy who was quietly thinking about what I said suddenly shook his shoulders and started crying.
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
Hehe… My life so far has been so dirty and ugly that I can’t stand it…”
“······?”
I wondered why it was like this all of a sudden, but when I thought about how my personality had changed, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
“Anyway, you were operating in a sunny area. That would mean you didn’t leave any evidence when you killed people. Is that right?”
“It’s a shame, but it’s true… That’s why I felt bad, but the management office couldn’t do anything about me. Of course, I ran away to Jeju Island when I heard that there was a hunter who could distinguish between truth and lies…”
‘Are you talking about Jeong Hyo-chan?’
Anyway, I’m thinking of assigning Cha Jin-hyuk to Cha Jin-hyuk, but I didn’t want to ruin Cha Jin-hyuk’s reputation for no reason, so I checked it out.
“You’ve clearly lived a crappy life. It’s something that can’t be washed away. But you don’t plan on living like that in the future, do you?”
“I absolutely don’t want to do that.”
“Then follow my instructions faithfully. This is what I will do from now on.”
There was no need to talk to the demons in detail about the Orc invasion.
Because they absolutely trust whatever I say.
Of course, it would have been convenient to turn Saeng Chaeon into a demon as well.
If I do that, my abilities will also increase, although small.
However, long-term observation of humans who have consumed the elixir of life is also needed, so we plan to keep an eye on it for the time being. I have to have Haserin report on the progress.
“I see… I honestly can’t believe it.”
“I believe it. I brought the dead back to life, so why can’t I believe it?”
“I believe it.”
“You have no complaints about me having your artifact, right?”
Although Cha Seon-saeng achieved amazing growth thanks to me, all of his artifacts were taken away.
“It’s because I’m weak, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Cha Seon-saeng accepts it more coolly than expected.
“Then you go here and help the hunters Cha Jin-hyuk and Ha Se-rin. There will also be Hwang Tae-wook and a girl named Mari. I have to go to the hidden dungeon, so I can’t go with you.”
“Hmm – Hwang Tae-wook… I understand.”
“Support Cha Jin-hyuk well from behind. The influence of Hase-rin and Hwang Tae-wook will inevitably grow, so they should not be allowed to be too big.”
“I am confident in such coordination.”
“Oh… Really?”
Chaeon Saeng followed my instructions and left Jeju Island immediately.
‘A person like Cha Jin-hyuk must grow into a leader of the awakened people.’
Of course, it may not work out the way I want, but out of all the hunters I’ve seen in this life, he was the only one with the most conviction and cleanliness.
He even obeys Yeonhee absolutely, so he is trustworthy and has great potential.
I called Hase-rin while looking at the bear-sized back of Cha Seon-saeng.
– W, hello? Master?!
“It’s been a while. Sooner or later, a guy named Cha Seon-saeng will be gone. He’s much stronger than you all, so put him to good use.”
– Again? But if you’re Chaeon Saeng… Are you talking about that idiot who’s crazy about gambling and women?!
Haserin was so surprised that she forgot her joy at talking to me.
It seems that Cha Seon-saeng’s notoriety in the hunter community was greater than expected.
Still, seeing as she’s still out and about, it seems like she was really resourceful.
Haserin showed a hesitant reaction, but as soon as I gave the command, she showed motivation and pledged to lead the way somehow.
– Master~ Hey, I have a favor to ask.
“What is it again? I guess the bones I gave you back then have already worn away? What on earth are you going to do with them?”
– Well, that’s not it. Hey, I was wondering if you could change the shape to be a little more rounded…
“······ I’m not a planner of adult products. It’s ridiculous.”
– Ha, but! This is all because my master won’t meet me! To relieve loneliness-!
“Well, I’m a bit sorry about that, but… I understand. I’ll make it when I have time.”
– Hehe… Okay, thank you. I would appreciate it if you could send it by courier. Rather, when can we meet again-
“We will meet soon.”
After appeasing Haserin appropriately, I headed straight to Udo Island where ‘Nando’ was located.
It’s not like anyone is telling me to live a busy life, but I feel like I’m living a busy life by myself.
‘··· As for the bone dildos… I need to make some to give to the twins and Marie. Let’s make a lot of it right now.’
Normally, subordinates should satisfy their masters, but something was going wrong.
However, since you have acquired the skill called Demon Demon Master, it is something you will have to deal with.
However, before entering the ‘hidden space’, I felt much more at ease because I had filled up the artifacts and completed one homework.
How many artifacts have I already obtained from Nando’s in the past week?
I couldn’t help but feel excited as I headed to the hidden space.
[Stealth]
I entered the dungeon with a hidden space again in a stealth state.
“Holy shit!!”
Kwadangtangtang!
As soon as I entered the hidden dungeon, I saw the participant, who felt the bitter taste of failure, jump backwards.
Just as the next participant was about to approach, I pushed my hand into the hidden dungeon first.
– Would you like to enter the ‘Broken Goddess World Line’?
A message that seemed to still give me preferential treatment welcomed me again.
Woooung──
I threw myself without hesitation, and for a moment I heard the guide startle, but that was only for a moment.
‘Keuuu h!!’
Passing through countless dimensional fragments with head-splitting pain.
Whisk—!!
I was thrown out onto the grass like an uneaten seed being spit out.
‘Ah… The head. Shouldn’t we improve this classic entry method?’
– ······.
I quickly shook myself off and got up, feeling dizzy for a moment and stumbling, but I soon regained my balance and looked around.
‘This is…’
A world of blue and green with a somewhat familiar scent.
As I broadened the wavelength of my senses, that feeling became even deeper.
‘A place where a huge lake continues… This is also…’
