My favorite skill. The exact ability of the Hundred Ghosts Reincarnation is this:
+
[Hundred Ghosts Reincarnation]
Rank: SSS
Effects: You can summon those whom you’ve killed yourself. The dead cannot use their abilities from when they were alive. However, the dead can keep their memories and appearances from their lives if you so desire. If not, they will just be summoned as monsters.
※However, you can only summon them once a week.
+
There was an important segment here.
The part that said [The dead can keep their memories and appearances from their life if I so desire].
In other words, if I didn’t want them to, the dead would be summoned as monsters without their memories and former appearances.
Just like now.
-Guoooh!
My shadows fanned out. White bones sprouted from the shadows that were laid out like linoleum floors. Five thousand skeletons. It had been a while, but I wasn’t pleased to see them. Weren’t they proof of my deaths?
‘But I need these guys now.’
The apostles of [The Evangelist of Everlasting Happiness] swarmed, singing a song.
-La. Lula, lu.
-Lala.
The tune they were singing was a song that buried listeners in their happy memories. It was an attack difficult for even warriors with mental training to resist. The members of the Demonic Sect had also fallen quickly at the wedding hall.
However.
-Guooooh!
The skeletons howled, unaffected as usual.
The charge was composed of only five thousand skeletons. They fiercely ran at the millions of enemies. It wasn’t because the skeletons were particularly brave or resistant against mental attacks.
-Aha. I see.
Bae Hu-ryeong spoke from my side.
-The mental attack doesn’t work because they have no ‘memories.’
That was right.
The songs of the apostles of The Evangelist of Everlasting Happiness were certainly powerful. However, this power only affected people with memories. To the summoned beings with no memories at all, the songs were no different than ordinary songs.
-La…
-Kigigik! Kiek!
And ordinary songs caused no damage.
The skeletons slaughtered the apostles. With daggers, teeth, and skeleton hands, they were stabbed, bitten, and scratched. Each time, the apostles were swept away. In terms of physical strength, the apostles were totally incomparable.
-Euk.
The Constellation who watched the battle from above bit her lips. Songs were roaring from all sides, but every word the Constellation spoke pierced my ears. The sound was probably transmitted directly to my head.
-This useless rebellion…! You’ll be overpowered by numbers anyway!
I admitted it easily.
“You’re right. That certainly will happen.”
Even if the apostles had no physical attacking power, the numbers were what they were. There was a fearsome force in sheer quantity. That was why [The Evangelist of Everlasting Happiness] ambushed us with such confidence.
“But you’ve already taught us how to fight you.”
-What?
She must have read my lips since the Constellation reacted.
“The numbers are a secondary issue. Every army has its weakness. The moment I learned that you don’t know pain and only spread happiness—”
The skeletons were being overwhelmed by the crowd. However, they had not been defeated yet. They would last for a short time, one or two minutes at the least. And that short time was just the moment we needed.
“—the way to destroy you was revealed.”
I held the Holy Sword tightly.
“Black Dragon Master.”
“Speak loudly! I can’t hear you well because of the song!”
“All right. Please launch the mirrors.”
I amplified the volume of my voice with aura. The Black Dragon Master stepped up beside me. She heard my request and had already put up six mirrors around us.
“Done. But what do you want me to do with the mirrors?”
“Do you remember when you and I fought [The Devil King of Fall Rain]? When the Devil King shot the beams, you weakened their strength by reflecting them on mirrors several times. At the same time, you strengthened our attacks. We’ll fight the same way.”
The Black Dragon Master understood my aim.
“You want to shoot your aura like a beam? That’s fine, but do you have confidence that you can generate a lot like [The Devil King of Fall Rain] did? If it’s not strong enough, it won’t matter if the attack is reflected in my mirror.”
“Don’t worry about the strength. Please just spread it as widely as you can.”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but… All right. Let’s try it.”
The mirrors soared into the air. North, south, east, west. When light shone on a mirror, it was immediately reflected onto the other mirrors, covering the field.
‘This will be enough.’
I nodded. Then, I poured my aura on the hilt of the sword. Whoosh! Aura, red like blood, blazed as it climbed up the blade.
‘Though I can’t push ahead with sheer force like Preta or split the world with enlightenment like Master.’
If these apostles were my enemies.
If these guys were my allies.
I could fully use an unparalleled skill.
『If I swing my sword only out of hunger, what will happen?』
Because this was the martial arts I inherited from her.
『You will be able to cut a man who has never starved in one blow.』
『Therefore, you can fight half of the Righteous Sect members with one maneuver.』
The apostles who ‘know only happiness’ could never rival me.
I swung my sword at the mirror lifted by the Black Dragon Master.
Infernal Heavens Demonic Art.
First form.
Sword of Starvation.
The enemy forces ruptured.
The hunger of the infernal heavens spewed through the red aura. The demonic art bounced off of the mirrors. Once, twice, thrice, four times, five times, six. With each bounce, the red aura sectioned the field in halves.
Chwaaaak!
My attack was very weak compared to the Devil King’s. Compared to Master’s, it was unbelievably laughable. However, nonetheless, the apostles of happiness perished even if the red aura barely grazed past them.
-What…?!
Flinch. The Constellation looked down at the battlefield in astonishment.
Of course she was dumbfounded. Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of apostles had literally evaporated with a single blow. The plain had been infested with apostles mere moments ago, but the places where the red aura scratched were barren.
“Black Dragon Master! Get ready for the next wave!”
Of course, I had no intention of being satisfied with one attack.
“Please keep rotating the mirrors!”
“What in the world… I see. That Constellation’s pawns and your martial arts are complete opposites!”
Despite her surprise, the Black Dragon Master skillfully adjusted the positions of the mirrors. She realized that my attack would destroy the enemies with just a touch, regardless of my output.
Therefore, it was important to spread the attack out as much as possible.
“Don’t mind me and keep attacking! Death King! I’ll take care of the mirrors!”
The mirrors flashed about in the air. The Black Dragon Master was someone who took immediate action after determining what was important.
