King of Shadows

At once, Sihyun realized what the intent of Chang Oh was.

"I know exactly what you're going to say, yes. You, uh, you want my ability to reclaim what you were when you were human?"

"Yes."

"But a deal's got to work. I know you want me to, but I don't have to do anything."

"I don't intend to push unilaterally. That's not bad for you, either. You're just waiting for the day you die because your soul is broken, right? If you give us your abilities, we will give you the skills to heal your soul."

When she heard Chang Oh's offer, she tilted her head. It's because he knew how hard it was to recover his soul when he explained it to Bererosa. Naturally, he had no choice but to feel disturbed by the words of the great spear.

However, Sihyun felt that Chang Oh's offer was not a lie. He is skilled enough to recognize that his soul is broken at first sight. It was difficult to see that they had a deal condition that would not be made.

Unfortunately, either way, it was also irrelevant to him.

"Too bad."

"Why?"

"I don't need it."

A short answer and an encounter spear Awesome opened his mouth decisively.

"A broken life is bound to die eventually. A skill that can heal such spirits. Do you want to just die because the life of the Eclipse is so hard?"

"That's not it. It literally means you don't have to do that."

Chang Ogre did not believe what he said. I couldn't believe it. Sihyun sighed and pushed his chest forward.

"If I saw it yesterday, I'd see it today. All right, look. What my soul is like now."

Chang Awesome, who saw his soul once again, had no choice but to correct his thoughts. Though he thought he was a child who was going to die of a broken soul, his soul was still one step ahead of him overnight. In Chang's view, it was a truth I wanted to deny, but his soul was slowly but clearly recovering.

"The soul recovers automatically?"

"Yes, that's the way it is."

"..."

Chang Ogre lowers his head in dismay. I couldn't say anything. Of course, I thought I could be rejected. But I didn't even think that I could be rejected for this reason.

"In the beginning, I didn't know how to judge you. I would have withheld the deal if my soul hadn't recovered. I don't know what predisposition you or the group you're leading is. What if you're not who I think you are? That day, criminals with great power infiltrated the city, didn't they?"

"No! We are all 'people' who are looking for a way to return to humanity without losing humanity even though we have all become Eclipses."

It would have been more convincing if it wasn't for the murderers who killed their own kind and the president. That muttering gave Chang Oh a chance.

"Yes, speaking of which, I understand that you're not an unreasonable murderer. I don't know why. So convince me. For the very reason that you had to. If you think so, I'll go back to the top of the deal. I have a lot of things I need."

"..."

Chang Awesome shut up. The story I wanted to tell was stacked up like a mountain. The question was whether he would accept the story honestly. Chang Ogre could not be confident. It's because if someone had told it to me instead of going through it directly, I would have been angry at him at once.

The story he went through was futile and absurd. That was a relief. In a way, it seemed that they had put the delusions of madmen that existed in the world together.

Even if no one took it seriously, it was not an exaggeration.

"Swear to me that you will listen at least to the end. I'm gonna sit and listen to every word that comes out of my mouth."

"As long as it's not an excuse to kill for profit. I'll listen to you."

An enormous sigh lifted Ogre's memory. Chang Oo gave out the information he was doing his best because it was a compelling story from the beginning.

"The beginning of all things is what we call 'Great Races.' Humans are unknown beings - aliens. I don't know exactly. I'm not even sure I heard it right. There might be more specific names. But sadly, that's all I can call them."

"The Great Race." Xi Hyun, who thought there was some connection with the deep sea people or the Great Old One, cooled his back. There is no end to the quarrel between the Eclipses.

"They have the skills to transform the spirit of life and the spirit of life in different times and spaces according to their names. In other words, using that technology, they're experiencing the entire universe indirectly. Five years ago, they accidentally settled in a human body that turned into an Eclipse. That's when they realized there was a planet called Earth."

Zhang Oyang sighed and cleared his mind.

"Since then, they have continued to transition to Eclipse. I don't know what triggered it, but it fell blindly. Even if it kills him, he'll still come out."

"The Eclipses you killed, they were one of them-- the great factions-- the Transitional Eclipses?"

"Yes. They seem to be picking and marking target-humans so that their people can safely transition." So if we don't take care of it, it'll grow exponentially. "

Then he realized why there were two types of Eclipses. On the one hand, when man truly changed, the existence of a great race descended and occupied the body.

"Why didn't you tell me? No, you didn't, did you? If I had told you, this wouldn't have happened..."

Zhang Oh smiled bitterly at the words of his vomit.

"I tried. It just ended badly."

"You did?"

"Yes, I hunted them blindly, losing my brother to a group that claimed to be a great race. But that was the limit, too. So three years ago, I told President Yu Jinhwan the truth and asked him for help. He listened to me and trusted me. It's not even close to the fact that it's Eclipse."

Looking back at the past, the great spear smiled bitterly. At that time, Chang O Yeung seemed to have been saved by the faith of the former President Eugene Hwan. But that was a lifetime of mistakes. I shouldn't have told you then. I had to be patient.

"But you killed him, right?"

"Yes, I did. His body had already been turned over by a great race. Maybe they found my trail -- the great faction-- they took care of it."

Sihyun could not connect the words. It was because I understood how great Chang Oh felt when he had to kill the first person who believed in him.

'The only language the Eclipses didn't know - Primel - was that their bodies were already occupied by a great race. The Longevity Monk wasn't just killed by humans by the Eclipses, he was more likely to die inside the Great Race. Wait, so you're saying that Grandeliol's reaction to Primal is both the product of the Great Race?'

Sihyun cleared up all the tangled questions that were so complex that his head was tingling and came up with only one goal.

"Then what is their purpose?"

"If I'm right, they were hoping for a human body. The entire human race, to be precise. I don't know why I want it."

At a late stroke, he recalled a picture that showed his support. The illustration that shows us that it is a prophecy about the end of the world was not fiction, but fact. They were all indicative of a great race capable of metastasis beyond time and space.

"I have the biggest question. It's a principle."

"You don't believe me, do you..."

"No, there is a great tribe. They're after humanity. Trust them all. They're probably more trusting than you are."

Sihyun trusted Chang's words. No, I've been expecting it since Chang Ogre opened his mouth and called it "The Unknown." Dagon and Jihyun were now confident that no matter what was happening outside the world, they would not be surprised. He also experienced it firsthand. The cosmic identity was also there somewhere. It didn't make sense that there was no "cosmic existence."

"Then what do you want to know?"

"You."

"..."

"Isn't it detailed enough to say yes by accident? More than I need. Are you one of them?"

I sighed as if I knew that Zhang Ogre would do that in Sihyun's palace.

"The only reason I knew about them was because I almost lost my body once, too. In other words, I had a brief understanding of the situation when the spirit of one of them sprayed on my body."

"..."

The demonstration of the great spear that he defended his body against the unknown was completely silent. It's because this horse was more vain than the existence of the Great Race.

"Just as you restore your own soul, so do I. Unfortunately, my brother couldn't..."

Sihyun glanced up and down quietly at the window. It was not a common man's ability to resist the control of all things or to resist unknown creatures. Even if it turned out to be Eclipse, that hasn't changed.

"It doesn't work."

"You know better than anyone that's suspicious. Adapting to the body of the Eclipse in less than five years, gathering like-minded Eclipses? And you find a great race and you shut them down with your bare hands? I can't hear a thing. Who are you really?"

There was no commute for a while. How long has it been? Chang O greatly looked at the demonstration of whether the decision was good or not.

"Do you believe in your past life?"

At the sound of the great spear without any foresight, Sihyun was unable to move in place as if his feet were bound. I couldn't even ask what he was talking about. Eclips-Seeker - is a person born as a sacrifice with achievements that humans cannot reach in their past lives. It was the demonstration that I knew best, so I instinctively understood what the question of Chang Awesome meant.

"... believe."

"Then I will reward you for your faith. my name is Chang Awesome I was a master of 3,000 spells, the guardian of the secret church and the most unmanned of all, the so-called King of Coin."

Sihyun realized why Chang Oyeong was elected as the Seeker. Underworld unification and the most expensive unmanned. He was the superhuman of two superhumans with achievements that no human being could easily accomplish.

"But even if you do, how do you remember your past life?"

"The Art of Atmospheric Engineering. It's a kind of spell that engraves memories into souls. It's the spell I cast just before I died, as the afterlife wondered. But do you really believe that?"

"Well, there's nothing you can't believe."

He bowed his head to the fact that an irresponsible existence had emerged. Do all those elected to be the Saviors have this kind of achievement? Xi Hyun, who knew about the Seeker, had no choice but to believe the great words of Chang O.

"Now, get on board with the deal."
