Episode 38
#Episode 38
“I want your wisdom, my lord.”
At my request to borrow wisdom from the Wisdom Lord, she stammered in great confusion for the first time.
“D-did you just ask me to lend you wisdom?”
“Yes, you heard correctly.”
Beside her, who was so flabbergasted she could only pant heavily, Senior chuckled quietly.
The Wisdom Lord looked at Senior.
If her facial features were visible, she would probably be looking at him with contempt right now.
After laughing for a while, Senior finally came to his senses and caught his breath.
“Wisdom can be bestowed by a lord, but can you handle it? Her wisdom is vastly different from human wisdom.”
It was a stern warning that if she acted with even a little malice, my brain could melt.
But I didn’t care even more.
Because that wisdom wasn’t for me to receive anyway.
“I said I wanted it, but I never said I would receive it myself.”
“Oh?”
At my answer, the Wisdom Lord looked at me.
Her gaze contained doubt about what I intended to do with that wisdom.
“Why don’t you give it to Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, the original contractor, instead of me?”
“To Hunter Baek Do-hyeon?”
“Yes, there shouldn’t be any problem with that, right?”
A glimmer of interest flashed in the lord’s eyes.
Though her expression wasn’t visible, the occasional green aura was sparkling.
After pondering for a moment, she slowly nodded her head.
“That should be possible.”
“But specifically, how do you give wisdom?”
“You’re asking for it without even knowing that?”
“If I knew, I would have been a Wisdom Lord myself.”
At my sophistry that wasn’t quite sophistry, the Wisdom Lord swallowed her words, then sighed and answered.
“There’s a total amount of wisdom that humans can handle. Baek Do-hyeon is an irregular with a larger capacity among them.”
“So you can give him wisdom up to that limit?”
“Yes, that was originally the plan, but there’s one problem.”
“Yes? What is it?”
She was about to say something when she glanced at Senior.
Senior nodded as if telling her to speak freely without concern.
“However, what worries me is that he’s no longer an ordinary human.”
“You’re referring to when I revive him?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
With a gesture from her, the sleeping Hunter Baek Do-hyeon was projected like a hologram.
“Originally, since he was human, the total amount of wisdom his brain could handle was clear. If an ordinary person is 100, the wisdom he could handle was about 350.”
“350?”
“Yes.”
I was honestly surprised since it was 3.5 times that of an ordinary person.
Indeed, there was a reason he possessed the power to dominate the continent.
“But what’s the problem if I revive him? Does the total amount of wisdom increase or something?”
“Yes, it will probably increase.”
Will it increase or won’t it?
At the ambiguous answer, Senior, who had been listening quietly beside us, spoke to me.
“I understand what you’re trying to say.”
“Yes, Great Death has already understood.”
“What is it? Don’t just talk between yourselves, let me know too.”
“Well, you see.”
Senior slowly began explaining to me.
As mentioned before, there’s a total amount of wisdom humans can handle.
If this limit is exceeded, the brain explodes and death occurs immediately.
Normally death would be the end, but for Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, I could just revive him.
Given my ability to revive someone in their physical prime, it also meant Hunter Baek Do-hyeon could have 350 wisdom and receive an additional 350.
In other words.
“He could essentially receive wisdom infinitely. Is that it?”
“It probably won’t be infinite. Even if the brain can handle it, there’s a limit to what the human soul can endure, but even I cannot easily know what that limit might be.”
“I see…”
After listening quietly to the conversation, one thing was important anyway.
He could receive infinitely much wisdom, but if done wrong, Baek Do-hyeon’s soul could collapse.
“So he needs to receive it while moderating appropriately.”
“Yes, I also don’t want my contractor’s soul to be torn apart.”
Earlier she was talking about property and such, but it seems that was all bluffing.
Since she actually had affectionate feelings for Hunter Baek Do-hyeon more than expected, I couldn’t treat him carelessly either.
However, this makes me curious about one thing.
“Senior, can’t you see Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s limits with your Soul Insight?”
“Hmm, that’s impossible for now.”
“The fact that you said ‘for now’ means it’s possible someday?”
“If you realize the essence of the soul and reach a level where you can penetrate human souls, it wouldn’t be impossible.”
Just hearing the name of such a distant realm already gave me a headache.
“Could you explain that realm a bit more simply?”
“Hmm…”
After pondering for a moment, Senior placed his hand on my heart.
I was momentarily startled by the chillingly cold energy, but I trusted Senior.
A dark power that entered through Senior’s fingers settled in my heart.
The Wisdom Lord, who was watching this, showed an expression of shock.
“A… are you allowed to receive a Lord’s power so directly?!”
“Normally it would be impossible, but…”
The gaze from within Senior’s armor turned toward me.
“I have a feeling this child might be able to handle it.”
I wanted to respond, but I didn’t have that luxury.
The cold energy settled in my heart pressed down on me as if it would stop my life activities at any moment.
In an instant, the phenomenon of death approached me closely.
A frost-covered dark blue scythe was placed at my neck, ready to reap me when the time came.
“Krhuk…”
Blood flowed from my bitten lips.
I clutched my heart and fell to my knees, but the Lord’s power wasn’t gentle enough to consider this.
My heartbeat began to slow down.
Cold seeped into my entire body, and I could feel my life activities gradually slowing.
What was even more vicious was that I couldn’t simply reject this power.
Since it wasn’t power maliciously inserted to kill me, but power given by Senior, I had to somehow handle this power.
“Heu… heuk…”
Pure white breath poured out from my exhaled breath.
It felt as if my entire body was cooling down in real time.
I knelt down and slowly awakened the power of death within me.
I could feel Senior’s power in my heart meeting my death power and being wary of it.
There was no time to coax and soothe it.
I forcibly applied power and devoured Senior’s power.
Senior’s intense power clashed with mine.
Just a handful of Senior’s power was opposing all of my power.
Crack! Snap!
I could feel my clenched teeth grinding.
My fingertips lost their warmth and grew cold.
The classification itself as the power of death is the same.
This power just isn’t ready to meet a new master called me.
I can operate it sufficiently.
If it had been impossible from the start, Senior wouldn’t have given it to me.
Isn’t he someone who won’t even easily tell me his name for fear it might harm me?
I clutched my heart and directly adjusted the power with my hands.
My power divided Senior’s power into countless pieces.
And like wrapping candy, I divided Senior’s power piece by piece and spread it throughout my body.
The divided power ultimately couldn’t overcome my power and was broken into even smaller pieces.
The fragments of power, divided to their limit, finally gave up resistance and began to be absorbed into my body.
It didn’t take very long for the powers broken down smaller than grains of rice to be completely absorbed.
I got up from my spot, sweating like a waterfall.
I wiped the nosebleed that came from controlling the power and spat out the blood pooled in my mouth.
The Wisdom Lord was standing up from her seat in shock, looking at me.
Senior was nodding his head with satisfaction as if he had expected this.
I stood up defiantly in front of those Lords and plopped down in the chair.
“Quite spicy.”
“Mon… Monster…! Are you really human?”
The Wisdom Lord stammered in confusion.
She seemed so bewildered that she swept her hair back while looking back and forth between me and Senior.
“What’s the big problem?”
“Everything is!? Both the Lord who gave a fragment of pure power to a human, and you who digested it!”
To be honest, it was so difficult I thought my mind would snap.
My limbs were trembling so much I almost collapsed again, but I absolutely didn’t want to show weakness in front of those two.
“Well then, can you now confidently entrust Hunter Baek Do-hyeon to me?”
I drew out all the composure I didn’t have and smirked.
If I could see the Wisdom Lord’s eyes, nose, and mouth right now, wouldn’t she be looking at me in shock?
“…Very well.”
Had about 5 minutes passed?
She who had been deeply contemplating something finally nodded as if she had made a decision.
“I will also give my full support to your Throne War.”
“Huh… me?”
“After all, helping Baek Do-hyeon ultimately means helping you, doesn’t it?”
“That’s true, but since Hunter Baek Do-hyeon is my summon anyway, there wouldn’t be any benefit for you, would there?”
“That remains to be seen.”
Senior cut off my question as if drawing a clear line.
“You still don’t understand what it means to claim a Divine Seat.”
For a moment, overwhelmed by that presence, the words I was about to say got stuck at the tip of my tongue.
As if the Divine Seat itself held tremendous meaning, I even felt Senior’s eyes blazing like flames for an instant.
But since I’m the type who needs to say what I have to say to feel satisfied, I overcame that presence and spoke.
“Just as the Divine Seat holds great meaning for you, Senior, I also have things precious to me.”
My hands are trembling.
Senior’s eyes, which had always been warm to me, today feel cold enough to freeze my body.
Senior stared at me intently, then suddenly chuckled.
Then, as if pleased, she crossed her arms and nodded several times.
“Yes, a true lord should see through to the end what they’ve once said.”
With one gesture from Senior, my body that had been faintly flickering as if about to disappear was completely healed.
“I’ve modified one of your skills, ‘Soul Gathering.'”
“Soul Gathering… you mean?”
“Yes, from now on, the souls of enemies will permanently make you stronger. Strong souls should be worth even more.”
“Oh… I’ll use it gratefully!”
For some reason, the power Senior gave me felt different from leveling up.
Of course, since I couldn’t understand it well with my current knowledge, I could only nod.
“Well then, go on. A new companion should be waiting for you outside.”
“There’s one thing I want to tell you before you go.”
The Wisdom Lord stopped me as I was about to walk back outside.
“What is it?”
“Don’t show much reaction even if Hunter Baek Do-hyeon undergoes some changes.”
“Changes… you mean?”
“Yes, to increase similarity with me and maximize the efficiency of wisdom conversion… You look like you don’t understand, so just know that such a thing exists.”
“Haha… I’ll keep it in mind.”
Will his appearance change drastically?
Considering she bothered to mention it like that, it seems like it’ll be quite a significant change…
“Well then, I’ll be going now!”
“Yes, hurry and go in.”
“See you again next time!”
As if there was nothing more to say, the Wisdom Lord and Senior waved their hands at me.
With that scene as the end, I opened my eyes again.
“Are you coming to your senses?”
When I opened my eyes, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon with familiar emerald eyes was looking at me.
“Baek Do-hyeon… sir?”
“Oh, yes. Mr. Baek Do-hyeon is right here.”
Baek Do-hyeon, who had become a woman, was looking down at me.
