67.

“Ugh, huh….”

He gradually stepped forward. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps….

“Ian.”

Calisia, who had been sharpening her divine power, called Ian’s name quietly. She had noticed the groaning mixed in with the loud singing.

“Alec Veilton.”

Ian, who had been standing with his back to the waterside, reached out and grabbed the knight by the collar, pulling him close. Then he applied chicken blood that he had prepared in advance, spreading it long around the knight’s eyes.

“Don’t look.”

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ian mercilessly scattered red beans and salt all over the knight’s body. The force was so strong that it made whip-like sounds.

“… Huh, ugh! Ah, ack! Ack! Ack! It hurts! Young Master!”

The knight, who came to his senses from the harsh beating, jumped up and down in place.

“Didn’t you hear me tell you not to look at the water?”

Ian stepped forward to scold the knight’s carelessness. If Calisia hadn’t informed them of the secret arts in advance, everyone could have been in danger.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful.”

The knight clasped his hands behind his back and bowed his head deeply. In wartime, this would be a situation where losing his head wouldn’t be unreasonable.

“Are your superior’s words amusing? Or does all this look like a joke to you, Veilton?”

“I’m sorry!”

A look of dismay appeared on the Northern knight’s face. Truth be told, he hadn’t taken all this talk of ghosts and spirits seriously until now. This was separate from his loyalty to the Young Master.

“And getting bewitched on top of that. You’re quite something. Alec Veilton. You have five additional hours of training from now on.”

“What? Y-Young Master. Five whole hours?”

The knight’s face turned paler than when he had been bewitched by the Water Murder Ghost. Additional training with the Young Master was nothing to take lightly.

“I see you’re still out of your mind, daring to question me.”

Ian grabbed a handful of red beans.

“Sing.”

He gave a short command and scattered the red beans again. Disobeying orders and talking back. He was definitely not in his right mind. So what choice was there? He had to perform a purification ritual.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

“Ack! Aack! My soul! Ah, take it! My soul, stop!”

The knight bounced around like someone hit by a machine gun.

“…The ghosts are numerous and the ghosts are cunning and the ghosts are troublesome in various ways, so the Jade Emperor grants great authority.”

Calisia, holding seven strings in her hand, recited the Spirit Binding Sutra. She maintained an attitude of doing her job regardless of what was happening behind her. She gently swayed the strings in her hand in a soothing manner. The brass bowl hanging from the end of the cotton cloth swayed back and forth, cutting through the water.

“How wronged! How wronged! How could I not know that heart! Having to cross the Yellow Springs without even getting to live fully in this world full of sorrow, how heartbroken you must be!”

Calisia struck her chest with her fist and wailed. She was comforting the souls of the Water Murder Spirits who had been unjustly killed.

“Bodies made with such care, stitch by stitch! Don’t be wronged and dwell here! In beautiful clothes like spring flowers, wearing pretty flower shoes, go to the Dragon Palace!”

She suggested to the Water Murder Spirits that they should dwell in the cloth dolls.

Wooooo-

At that moment, along with a fishy stench, the water began to churn violently. At the same time, the brass bowl sank into the water with a splash and then floated back up. The Water Murder Spirits, refusing to dwell in the ritual effigies, were targeting the knights.

-Kiiiek eat eat let’s eat those things eat that body hik hik put in water make throat gurgle and go down kkeek kkeek

-Play play let’s play together kekeke until blood drains and soul drains and flesh melts hik hik let’s be together

Swoooosh!

The Water Murder Spirits with gaping mouths rushed madly toward the waterside. Their speed was so fast that water splashed in all directions.

“Hah, even if I offered to dress them in pretty clothes….”

Calisia scratched near her eyebrow and released the strings she had been holding.

“Ta-da.”

She forcefully opened her right hand. A large dokkaebi club instantly revealed itself.

“You’re the ones who said no.”

Calisia spun the club wrapped in blue flames around and around. As if sensing its master’s anger, the flames blazed more fiercely.

“I! Offered! Spring flower! Clothes! And flower shoes! Too! And even! Dragon Palace! Tours! Why! Are you! Ignoring! People’s! Sincerity! Huh?”

Calisia, drawing up her divine power, wildly swung the club.

-Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Every time the club struck the Water Murder Spirits, terrible ghostly wails echoed. Sharp spikes pierced their flesh, and blue flames burned their bones.

-Kkeek kkeek drag that damn woman into the water and drown her aek!

-Kiiek stop kiiiiek damn woman kiiiiek!

The Water Murder Spirits groaned in pain and thrashed violently. Something that might have been pus or tears flowed from their eyes, and black liquid poured from their mouths.

Roll-

The eyeball of one Water Murder Spirit writhing in agony suddenly rolled somewhere. Following him, Calisia’s gaze also turned backward.

Swoooosh!

Instantly, with a heavy vibration, the water surface swirled. A massive water column shot up and the bodies of the Water Murder Spirits floated high into the sky.

“…Gasp!”

Veilton, who had been secretly opening his eyes slightly, was startled and squeezed his eyes shut.

-Kiiek let’s eat that one instead let’s chew from the head chew with bones kkeek kkeek

The eyeballs of the Water Murder Spirits all turned toward Veilton at once. Water droplets on the hem of his pants. These were traces from when he had approached the waterside earlier, bewitched by the ghostly energy.

“… Damn it.”

A look of dismay crossed Calisia’s face. She quickly moved her body and snatched up the bowl that had been placed on the floor. It was the chicken blood that Ian had used and left over.

Drip-

Calisia poured all the chicken blood over her head.

“From now on, no matter what sounds you hear, absolutely don’t open your eyes or move! Ian, the same goes for you!”

She walked into the water without hesitation. As soon as her small feet touched the water, fierce currents arose in the sewers.

-Come with us kiiii let’s go together together together kiiek

The rotting bodies of the Water Murder Spirits wrapped tightly around her thin legs. Her body was sucked into the water in the blink of an eye.

-Throat kik kik is being pressed pressed kill kill kill kik kik

Water lapping at her chin and her body becoming heavy as if trapped in a swamp. Her breathing became labored and black water poured from her mouth and nose.

“Heaven, no luck, open ah earth, kkeuk, roar ah mountain marsh dragon, ah strong path ah….”

Calisia vomited water with a retch and barely managed to recite the Body Protection Sutra. Soon after, blue light spread from her body.

“Gu, bleegh!”

Calisia vomited up all the sewage that had filled her lungs.

“Come out.”

She looked down with eyes full of burst blood vessels and spoke in an ominous voice.

“Won’t come out? Fine, then.”

Calisia readjusted her grip on the club.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Calisia struck the Water Murder Spirits’ heads like grinding garlic in a mortar. The merciless clubbing echoed the sound of crushing bones throughout the sewers.

“Come out! Come out, I said!”

Calisia stabbed into the water like she was spear fishing, screaming wildly. Chunks of flesh crushed like soft tofu splashed up with water droplets.

“Valus.”

Ian, who had been facing away from the waterside as the beating sounds grew more intense, turned to the side.

“What? Not coming out?”

“Valus!”

“What!”

Calisia, her neck veins bulging with excitement, turned her head while panting heavily.

“You need to give them a chance to come up if you want them to surface.”

Ian pointed with his finger toward the water below. Calisia’s gaze followed downward.

-Ugh, blub! Ugh, mmph!

The Water Murder Spirits, their faces half-caved in, raised both arms in surrender.

“Ah.”

Calisia shouldered her club as if she had just realized.

-…Ple, ease.

-Mer, cy…

Only then did the Water Murder Spirits poke their heads above water, letting out pitiful breaths. Clutching their bodies with exposed bones, they began to sob.

“That’s what you get for not coming out when told.”

Calisia scratched the bridge of her nose, feeling awkward. Their crying was particularly heart-wrenching.

-How…! How!

-Just, one swing and, our heads! Gone, sob…!

The Water Murder Spirits pointed at the club while wailing.

“Hey! Beilton!”

Calisia, who had been listening to their loud lamentations, suddenly glared. She strode out of the sewers, leading her water-soaked body.

“Open your eyes. I saw you squinting earlier.”

Calisia bared her teeth as she stood before Beilton.

“…Gasp!”

A face covered in chicken blood and bloodshot eyes. Beilton stepped back, startled by the Young Miss’s appearance.

“Hey. I told you not to open your eyes.”

“I’m sorry, ahhh!”

Beilton, who had been loudly apologizing, grabbed his eye area and screamed. Calisia had poked his eye faster than light.

“Let’s settle this when we get out.”

Calisia blew air between her index and middle fingers and turned away coldly.

“And you guys stop crying and get in quickly.”

The sniffling Water Murder Spirits were smoothly sucked toward the brass bowl.

-…

Having settled into the cloth doll, they let out deep sighs.
