Subdued Soul Chronicle

Chapter 165

The fact that the tablet responded meant that Seol Youngs voice reached him.

At this time, he had to persuade the soul, so he said,

I became a spy and sold my nation. Isnt that an unfair accusation to be thrown on a dead man? Come out, this is your chance to clear out the misunderstandings.

Then, he moved his hand in the air, which created a light. It was the light that would guide his soul to a bright path.

However, it was quiet.

As if the movement earlier was a lie, the tablet stayed still.

Why?

He couldnt understand.

What feelings is he going through right now?

Seol Young looked at the tablet, and a haze was rising from behind it. He could certainly tell just by looking at the soul, but

There was no evil energy on the tablet. So it was unlikely that a little closer contact would do him any harm.

Lets take a look at how Leader Mok Yun is feeling right now.

Seol Young moved a little closer to the altar, and he cautiously reached out his hand toward the tablet.

Then the emotions of the soul began to flow in slowly.

Hm?

Seol Young had a questioning look.

What is this?

As he hesitated for a moment, his hair was pulled to the back, making his head bend oddly, and this caused a panic among the Hwarangs.

It is fine.

Seol Young shook his hand.

Jeok Ryun-rang will not kill me. What was her reason for drawing the line on my neck in the first place? She knows very well that there is no one else but me to help her. She will not cut down her last hope with her own hands.

Then why is she doing this?

Song Ok asked.

She is asking me to obtain the information. What Leader Mok Yuns feelings are

Seol Young said, but there were some things he didnt say.

Even Jeok Ryun-rang sensed Mok Yuns strange reactions.

Lie, and your neck gets cut.

That was what she meant.

It couldnt be helped.

Seol Young turned around and said,

Fine. I will speak the truth. Mok Yun. Leader Mok Yun isnt unhappy at all. He has no regrets about having to die like that.

At that moment, Seol Youngs hair was pulled back. A dark gust of wind arose around the tower, and it blew so hard that he couldnt even open his eyes.

[Ackkkk!]

A desperate cry resounded.

Jeok Ryun was angry.

How can that be? I hurt you so much! So how?

The one and only person that you trusted and loved was the one who drove you to death! So how! How can you die in peace?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Her cries echoed everywhere. Then Seol Young said quietly,

It isnt that he is at peace. In the mix of his calmness, there is some sad feeling hidden

But now, none of those words could enter Jeok Ryuns ears.

Why?

With that scream, she snapped Seol Youngs neck to the back.

Seol Young!

Baek Eon shouted. Even though he couldnt see them due to the gust of wind, he could feel many people draw their swords.

Back away! Do not stimulate her anymore! I will die for sure then!

Seol Young shouted.

Jeok Ryun was an evil spirit that was now entangled with the Vermillion Bird Troops, through a curse that had been around for two hundred years.

There seemed to be a lot of people who overlooked that small fact. And such evil spirits had to be sent to a place they couldnt escape from. If one tried to destroy it forcefully, then the weakest person present would be harmed.

In addition, the tower would be damaged.

Why was Seol Young doing this in the first place? Wasnt it to obtain the things that were inside the tower?

I need to appease her well and make her let me go.

But apart from that

Seeing how things were going, it seemed like something had to be done. Jeok Ryun was unique despite being an evil spirit.

Even when she was still alive, she wasnt normal. It was only when she met someone she loved that she became stable.

After being betrayed, it was only natural for her to become a hundred times more insane than usual, and now she was dead.

She has to be subdued.

Beyond the black wind, everyone was talking. However, Seol Young couldnt hear a single sound.

Is there a better way?

Seol Young thought hard.

Even at that moment, his head was being pulled back more, and warm blood was flowing down his neck.

I might die at this rate. If cant subdue her somehow

His consciousness would fade.

All of a sudden, his body felt hot, and his eyes were spinning. He was having a high fever again.

At this moment.

Seol Young cursed inside. Then he had a sudden thought.

There has to be a reason for this. Why did it only appear now?

A fever that wasnt caused by a ghost, wasnt the work of poison, and wasnt a physical disease.

While thinking about what it was, a thought came to his mind.

Could it be that?

If not, this was baseless.

It was his instinct to struggle and live. If Seol Young was right

If it is some kind of mental illness. Like Gods disease.

Gods disease was what shamans experienced because of their intent to receive God inside them, so they would get sick.

If my strong will to survive is causing these symptoms in a situation where I am connected with Jeok Ryun-rang, who had placed a wound on my neck

Then he had to accept it.

The moment he thought about that, as if waiting, something happened. The boiling heat in his body vanished. He wasnt cool like what he feels normally, but he felt fine.

At the same time, the wind around the tower vanished, making everyone look his way.

All of them had shocked faces. It was worth seeing.

And he could see it without looking. Long white hair fluttered around his shoulders, and his eyes turned red.

It was because Jeok Ryuns soul entered his body.

Seol Young looked around at everyone. Zaha seemed surprised at the unexpected situation. The golden aura was burning in his eyes.

Finally, Seol Young managed to surprise him, and he felt a sense of victory.

Now, as promised, one hundred days of no alcohol.

He wanted to say that, but his lips didnt move.

Seol Young was not a shaman, so this experience was the first for him. So even though he had control over Jeok Ryun in his body, he couldnt move.

No alcohol

Seol Young tried again, and this time, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes. Suddenly, a sharp sword was aimed at his chest.

Do not move.

Zaha said.

What was he saying? Was this the first time Seol Young tried this?

Seol Young looked at him and then realized it.

Ack, it looks like I have been possessed from the outside.

Nonsense.

He had strong spiritual power since he was born, and he had become even stronger as he accepted the spiritual qi recently.

He also learned various sorcery spells from the ghosts, and was confident that he wouldnt be defeated by any shaman in the kingdom.

And he thinks that I gave my body to a ghost?

It sounded like a hit to his pride. But the other people didnt seem to care.

Especially Zaha.

He seemed to be aware that Seol Young was possessed by Jeok Ryun.

What about the others? Seol Young thought, and he opened his mouth.

This isnt a possession

He wanted to say that, but a strange voice came out of his mouth,

Get out of my way!

It was a harsh female voice.

How dare you things dare to stand before me!

Jeok Ryun shouted.

Me?

Seol Young was dumbfounded. Jeok Ryun was acting like she had taken over his body.

This is not a possession, lady!

Seol Young told her, but she didnt seem to listen.

Jeok Ryun just proudly used Seol Youngs body.

Didnt I tell you to come out of there?

Zaha said that with a cold face. His sword was shining in gold. It was a flame that could consume evil.

Then Jeok Ryun glanced at him through Seol Youngs eyes.

A blue light flashed on her hand. She had pulled out Blue Rainbow.

Is that so?

There was no specific expression on her face, but there was a cruel snort in her voice.

The next moment, she turned the sword the other way and aimed it at Seol Youngs chest.

Like this too?

Light flashed from Blue Rainbow. It knew what was happening inside Seol Youngs body, but it couldnt resist the hand that was wielding it.

It was because the soul of its owner was present, and so was the one trying to control his body.

Blue Rainbow continued to flash a light to inform the surroundings, but no one noticed.

Such a big mistake you are making

Zahas sword flashed, and he aimed it at Seol Young.

How could such a threat even work on me? It is the job of the Hwarangs to kill those who have lost their way.

This is a different case. How many times have you saved the owner of this body? Wouldnt it be a waste to kill him?

Since I saved him a few times, killing him is also fine.

After saying that, Zaha pushed Blue Rainbow to the side and drew his sword closer.

This man was a madman!

No normal person would do this. Seol Young recalled the confrontation he was shown the last time.

The bloody fight where he couldnt intervene. And now his body was caught up in the middle?

This is bad.

As soon as he thought that, the two of them began to fight.

This is a mad peoples fight. There is no winner and loser, and I would be the only one who would get hurt.

It was something he couldnt believe, and he wanted to tell him the truth, but his mouth wouldnt move. Then Zahas sword broke through the gap.

It was all so sudden and fast that nothing could stop it.

Seol Young also knew it right away because he handled the sword. If he got stabbed like this, he would be wounded.

But this is a trick, right?

He looked into Zahas eyes.

No, this was not a trick.

There was no shine in those eyes. He was looking into the eyes of a dead man.

Seol Young finally realized it.

Before he punishes those who have changed, he would kill Seol Young first.

Right.

This was how it felt to die.

Seol Young thought blankly, and at that moment, Zahas sword pierced through the gap and went for his chest.
