-Aaaaargh!

A scream echoed.

It felt similar to the power I wield.

Nyeom.

A faint trace of Demonic Qi is perceived as well.

[You're alive, Heavenly Spirit?]

[Huff, huff. Is this the voice of the Heavenly Demon?]

Nyeom was sensed.

I looked at Heavenly Demon.

"Do you know him?

[Technically, it's a her. The Heavenly Spirit. The mistress of the Tianma from the previous generation.]

[Shut up! Why would I be that woman's mistress? I lost my innocence because of her! Damn it, if you touch me, you have to finish it! Does it make sense for me to die a virgin?!]

[I should have been allowed to go all the way!]

[You, you're still as crude as ever!]

[Who are you to act so noble! The crazy woman who moaned every time Tianma touched her sword!]

At the words of Heavenly Spirit, Heavenly Demon faltered.

The Heavenly Demon also moaned back then.

When I looked at Black Heavenly with a strange eye, Black Heavenly made a wronged face.

[Dont look at me with those eyes!]

I turned my gaze away. To the book inscribed with Black Divine Martial Arts.

[So why are you here?]

[It's because of Tianma's order, of course. Because she ordered me to protect this place, I can't leave here.]

[Tianma's order still binds you?]

[I can't help it because that bitch weakened us and sealed us before she died.]

[Heavenly Demon did?]

As Heavenly Spirit growled, Heavenly Demon made a surprised expression.

[Yes. I don't know what that damn woman saw in her last moments, but she was bitching about how we should curse her. You know too, right?]

[I dont know. I thought I knew about Tianma...but it seems like she used some kind of trick on me.]

[Ha.]

Heavenly Spirit sucked in a breath as if amazed.

[Of course. Theres no way Heavenly Demon wouldnt have touched you. She must have taken great care to refine you.]

So do you know anything?

[Me? I know a lot. You're the Heavenly Demon of this generation, right? You're really handsome this time. The last one was a woman, but why did she illuminate women so much?]

Heavenly Spirit chattered gleefully.

[Anyway, even though I was weakened by Tianma, my name is Heavenly Spirit...]

[Heavenly Spirit should be able to teach basic sorcery.]

[Hey! I was about to say that!]

Sorcery?

[Its a contingency in case the master can't master Black Divine Martial Arts. Its performance is vastly inferior compared to Black Divine Martial Arts.]

[You're stating the obvious. Black Divine Martial Art is a martial art crafted by that monstrous woman, after all.]

"So you're saying I can learn sorcery."

I made a subtle expression.

Black Divine Martial Art is an excellent martial art in and of itself, but there are times when it's inconvenient.

The drawback is that it all focuses on close combat.

Despite that, the martial art that assists it is just a seeing technique.

According to the Black Heavenly Demon Sword, it thought it was sufficient as it had no equal even with just the power of the Heavenly Demon.

Regrettably, I don't possess as much talent as the Heavenly Demon. However, I believed I could craft a talent just as good.

"How proficient are you in sorcery?"

[Are you asking me to teach you? I do know a few offensive spells that could pose a threat to the highest class, but most of my knowledge lies in supportive magic. Besides, the Heavenly Demon mentioned that its memories are still unstable, right? I'll help you. I really know a lot.]

The Spirit urgently proposed.

"What if I were to absorb the Heavenly Demon's Qi?"

[I would be completely useless then! I haven't recovered from the power the Tianma used against me! Please, save me! If you keep me alive and listen to my knowledge, wouldn't that be more helpful?]

As I looked at the Black Heavenly Demon Sword, it nodded with a complex expression.

[The Spirit isn't bad. Because of its brightness-inducing personality, it's the only woman the Heavenly Demon forcibly labeled as troublesome.]

[What do you mean by inducing brightness?]

The Spirit grumbled.

"Then, among those sealed like you, are there any useful ones?"

[There are many who are useful in terms of abilities.]

"You must be Mr. Lee Seoha. Please come in. Miss Ersil has been expecting you."

The butler led the way.

Once inside, a pool came into view, and everyone was playing around in the water.

"Oh, you're here."

Ersil greeted me.

For some reason, she was wearing a school uniform shirt and skirt.

I checked Ersil's status window.

Appraisal.

[Name: Ersil Merhen]

Strength: 10, Agility: 15, Stamina: 15, Magic: 25, Spirit: 25, Talent: 20

Talents

-World Created by Lies(?), Dream Within a Dream(S-), Eye of Illusion(A+), Eternal Nightmare(A-), Combat Instinct(B+) and three others

Skills

-Merhen's Basic Magic Control(S), Super-Speed Spirit Shield(A+), Basic Elemental Control(B) and ten others

Physique

-True Dream Body

Her stats were similar to mine, but her status window was plastered with her skills and talents.

'The talents are truly fearsome.'

They are far more impressive than Hong Yuhwa's.

Discounting the World Created by Lies, which was made possible thanks to Melanie, there was the Dream Within a Dream that allowed reality to be eroded by illusions and the Eye of Illusion. Though lower in rank than Divine Vision, it was still a remarkable ability.

And then, the Pinnacle Transformation Physique.

Just with her talent alone, Melanie would be exasperated. But with Ersil, who also possessed the unique physique known as Pinnacle Transformation Physique, which dreams of true illusions, there was more than enough reason for Melanie to teach her wholeheartedly.

"Ugh, where are you looking?"

When I was checking Ersil's status window, she cocked a smirk, pretending to cover her chest.

"I'm quite pretty, aren't I? I even look good in a swimsuit, what do you think?"

"...What are you talking about while wearing a school uniform."

"Hmm, so you're not swayed by this level of illusion."

Ersil looked at me as if she found it strange.

She was testing my limit after all.

"Ah, you're too much. Kim Seohyun fell for something like this."

"Well, Seohyun is still learning."

"Are you discriminating against people? Well, it's fine. I also have a hidden spell up my sleeve."

Ersil smirked, raising one corner of her lips.

"Whoa! Wait a moment, Hong Yuhwa!"

The frantic voice of the club president rang out. I moved my gaze to see a water spray coming in this direction for some reason.

Swoosh!

I quickly manipulated the Demonic Qi to create a curtain, a technique learned from recollecting the Heavenly Spirit.

However, Ersil got hit by the spray of water head-on.

"Ah...."

Ersil's forehead momentarily creased.

After looking at her soaked clothes for a moment, she changed her expression.

As she looked at me.

"...."

"Hmm, so you can make that kind of face too. Well, it's not bad."

She smirked, and with a snap of her fingers.

The water evaporated. Her school uniform returned to its original state.

"Oh right, there's a small ball being held tonight, would you like to come?"

She then whispered quietly to me.

"A ball?"

"Yes, it's just a small gathering. A masquerade ball, so feel free to come. Oh, I think some students are going as well."

"To the ball?"

"Yes. The girl known as the Sword Fairy from the class next door is coming too. Her name was Seol Hwaryeon."

I was reminded of the 300+ messages piled up on my phone.

The ones that came solely from Seol Hwaryeon.

"....I'll go."

"Hmm, so this was your hobby?"

Ersil cocked her head for a moment, then soon nodded her head.

enjoy! :)
