Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 65
EP.65 Puppet Progenitor and Unpleasant Puppet Play – 2
Well. What am I going to do?
How should I explain this?
no before explaining. I don’t know how to express this devastating feeling.
I muttered as I wiped my face with one hand.
“I clearly warned you, Tyrkanjaka. Be careful when strangers approach with sweet talk, they might be trying to take something away from you.”
I taught, showed, acted, and even made fun of it. It was clear that not even the seeds had been eaten.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have shown my heart to Finlay.
“Don’t give up your heart, saying you can never get what you want with magic. I emphasized it over and over again. But it’s like this.”
A voice full of questions directed at me repeating myself.
“What do you mean?”
“This is why you shouldn’t be an educator. ha. I’m running out of strength. What have I been struggling for so far, but if the trainee goes astray like this, what will be my efforts?”
“Whoever hears it will know that you are a proper educator. So what the hell is it?”
A regressor who dismisses rudely and then asks question after question.
I sighed deeply and calmly relayed what I had read from Finlay.
“Tirkanjaka trainee is caught in a homunculus dilemma.”
I fell into the dilemma of the homunculus.
The phrase has a symbolic meaning to those who know magic.
It means that while trying to change oneself by borrowing the power of magic, it became a miserable situation comparable to a mere homunculus.
In other words, it was the same as saying that he became a puppet controlled by someone.
The regressor who understood my words at once was shocked.
“What? to whom? no way?”
“Finlay. He dominated the Tyrkanjaka trainees. Because of that, Finlay was able to wield the power of a Tyrkanjaka trainee.”
“Impossible!”
said the regressor.
“How is that possible? A vampire of a lower rank cannot defeat a vampire of a higher rank. Because there is a huge gap in the ability to control blood with blood manipulation! What about Sijo? A snap of your fingers could rip you limb from limb!”
“But it happened. I think the Tyrkanjaka trainee was careless.”
“It’s not a gap that can be narrowed by mere carelessness!”
“well? He showed his heart in front of me and asked Shay trainees to shoot thunderbolts? If you’re careless like that, isn’t it overflowing?”
In fact, I couldn’t do that, so I’m in a state of being dominated now.
The regressor, unable to find fault with my words, looked at the current situation with a more objective gaze.
“Obviously that explains everything. If Tirkanjaka really intended to leave, at least he would have left us a word. But why? To that little pony…?”
The regressor, who was troubled with a confused face, recalled the events of yesterday step by step.
He said he wanted to have a beating heart. The one who asked for a thunderbolt to come down on himself. And what I said to ask me about the homunculus dilemma.
The regressor, who recalled that, glared at me with an angry expression.
“You told Tyrkanjaka about the dilemma of the homunculus yesterday.”
I also nodded and replied.
“yes. because someone instigated it. If you know, you can explain yourself, but why don’t you keep taking on troublesome things?”
“Cheet.”
The regressor, who had no words to refute, clicked his tongue and turned around.
“Did you tell me correctly? If he had heard that story, Tyrkanjaka couldn’t have thought so rashly.”
“You are correct that I have informed you. However, it seems that our expectations were slightly different.”
Of course, the dilemma of the homunculus is a warning.
A stern warning not to even dream of transforming one’s body with magic unless one wants to dismantle parts of one’s body and become a terrible figure that is used as material.
“Isn’t it a frightening event for normal humans to have their bodies dismantled and used as materials?”
However, the vampire has shown an attitude that goes against common sense on several occasions. I knew it, but I didn’t know it at the same time.
Even I, who can read everything from thoughts to memories of a human being, couldn’t completely read a vampire who lived through 1200 years.
Is that why It was a bit late to realize.
“By the way, did the trainee Tyrkanjaka feel fear or a vague sense of rejection after hearing the ghost story? Or did you think there might be a way to do that?”
For some reason, when he told me about the dilemma of the homunculus yesterday, he didn’t feel particularly moved while listening to it.
I should have known then
“Perhaps the trainee Tyrkanjaka accepted it not as a taboo… but as a way to get his heart beating again.”
The regressor’s face hardened.
For the vampire who opens his chest saying he will receive an electric shock, the electric shock is not enough for the vampire who asks to use magic in order to receive a thunderbolt.
The dilemma of the homunculus was not a taboo that I was uncomfortable with… It was just a euphemism for refusal.
“I didn’t know… at all.”
The regressor’s voice trembled.
“Then is it because of me? Did Tirkanjaka grant Finlay his heart because of me?”
Is it because of you? What nonsense are you talking about?
If you’re responsible for saying that, what am I to do? I couldn’t predict this situation even though I was reading my thoughts in real time.
“no. It’s not Shay’s fault.”
I am not responsible. Therefore, you are not responsible either. Let’s avoid each other.
“And it’s not my fault. How do you know that Tirkanjaka Trainee’s wish to have his own beating heart is so great? Honestly, this is all because of the Tyrkanjaka trainees. I’m not really an old man with dementia. Are you sticking your head in all the dangers? If it weren’t for the Undead, he would have died right away.”
He offered comfort in an infinitely light voice.
The regressor was slightly touched after being comforted by me for a moment. Warm consolation was rare even for her.
The car I was trying to put my mind at ease.
‘for a moment.’
Power came back to the corner of the eyes that went down round. The regressor forcibly pushed away the sweet consolation and set sharp thorns in his heart to become weak.
“How did you know that?”
Ahaha. sharp
I read my memory.
From the lie Finlay told yesterday to the vampire who eventually took out his heart after hearing that obvious lie. It makes Finlay’s memory clearer.
But I can’t tell you that, so I put my index finger to my mouth.
“It’s a secret.”
He smiled innocently and clearly.
Then, the gaze of the regressor darkened even more. Like a beast meeting an enemy, she glared at me with all her senses on edge and gnashed her teeth.
No, he had such a friendly smile, but why? what did i do
“…good. The secret is over. then.”
The regressor demanded an answer from me, looking as if it would jump out at any moment.
“so. What are you planning to do? onlooking? Cooperation? Or hostile?”
well
If I could use my vampire powers to escape outside, I might have cooperated with Finlay. No, he must have seduced the vampire before that and went up to the ground together.
But I know there is no escape in that simple way. I got a clue by disassembling Finlay’s bracelet, and after questioning the golem, I was convinced.
To get out, you need something other than the ability to fly.
I mean this.
“Finlay will fail to escape. You can’t escape the bottomless pit that way.”
Since they are immortal vampires, they can climb steadily with patience. But even that has its limits. As you climb up, you will one day discover that you will never reach the ground in this way.
“If he knew he was wrong, he would come back to us. Then you’d be really shy with each other, wouldn’t you? hi! bye! I said hello, but in fact, I don’t know the way out, so if I come back. We and they both become awkward, and the already heavy air of the abyss will become even heavier.”
“So what is the conclusion?”
I don’t have the ability to export Finlay. However, even if I told them the truth, Finlay would not believe it, and even if they believed it after verifying it by various means, they would not let me go on deceiving them.
In other words, fate that will surely collide one day.
If only I could live. I’ll have to kill Finlay.
“I was born on the active side, so I don’t want to kill the awkward atmosphere. I’ll have to catch Finlay and kill him.”
I grinned and held out my hand toward the regressor.
“Let’s work together, trainee Shay. To catch and kill Finlay.”
“joy. Do you think you would cooperate with a guy like you who doesn’t know what’s inside?”
No, why are you so picky when you smile so favorably and show a cooperative attitude? Are you actually the king of hedgehogs?
Ignoring my shyly extended hand, the regressor brushed off his clothes.
“It just happened to have the same goal. Just don’t get in my way.”
“It’s good anyway. You are strong.”
“I am not at all secure.”
‘It’s better than having enemies, but it’s not completely reliable. Let’s just think of fighting alone.’
oh. It’s a good decision.
Because you really have to fight alone. Because I don’t have the ability to fight vampires.
So you have to win alone. If I’m left alone, I’ll be in big trouble.
Looking at the regressor who was determined to fight alone, he asked subtly.
“Do you have any plans?”
“…Whoa. There is no reason to hide it.”
The regressor raised his finger. As she concentrated and gave strength, the bright red blood that seeped through the gaps in her fingers formed into beads and rolled over the regressor’s fingers.
“Blood manipulation is an ability that all vampires have. But no matter how good his ability is, he is only Yaling. Neither Elder nor Ain. The link between abilities must be loose. then.”
Took. As the regressor waved his finger, blood gushed out in the air. It was a shock comparable to that of a small bomb.
Amidst the scattering blood, the regressor spoke confidently.
“I will shock Tirkanjaka with my Bloodblood. My power is primordial hemorrhage. They do not belong to Tyrkanjaka’s power. If you stimulate it with a foreign power, Tyrkanjaka’s instinct will come out to fight against it.”
Even if your head is a bit damaged, the regressor is sure to have a countermeasure against the regressor. That’s a good enough score.
There is no need to save praise at this time.
“It’s good. It’s a great operation.”
The regressor sneered at the words.
“joy. Don’t just spit out empty words, you provide long-distance support.”
“I don’t really have any long-distance support.”
The regressor looked at me with cold eyes.
why what Did you know that there is no means of remote support?
In fact, there is no means of close-range support! Voila!
“Then use magic behind the scenes.”
“The magic I can use is limited to level 0 magic, right?”
You saw me use magic the other day. Even that insignificant amount of horsepower.
The regressor, who just remembered that, crumpled his face.
“What is it? Were you just a swordsman? A swordsman with no skills has the worst compatibility with Tyrkanjaka!”
No, I’m a card player. I’ve never even used a knife. The knives I use for cooking are all of my knives.
“Then take care of Tyrkanjaka’s familiar! I’ll take care of everything else!”
‘You really don’t care at all! hehe but it’s ok I can do it myself. It’s what I did in the last car!’
The regressor briefly recalled what had happened in the previous round. When he attacked the headquarters of the Undead Army that fought against Seonghwangcheong in the past great war.
At that time, the regressor encountered Tirkanjaka, the founder. The vengeful spirit who proclaimed bloody revenge with red eyes.
‘Now I’m weaker than I was back then, and I don’t have many tools to use, but that’s the same for my opponent. no, rather more. Aren’t there any elders or subs from the Mist Duchy who are guarding Tyrkanjaka? Ralion, if you’re careful enough, you can wake Tyrkanjaka.’
The short flashback is over. After completing the calculations in his head, the regressor made up his mind and said.
“I need to be prepared.”
“It’s a strange coincidence. I also needed some preparation.”
“Meet me here in a minute. Kill Finlay and save Tyrkanjaka.”
I didn’t even hear an answer. The regressor strode back to his room. To get a tool to deal with the vampire from there.
Hmm.
In fact, I have nothing to prepare. Should I still pretend to take care of it?
Scratching my head, I headed upstairs to pick up a few pieces of equipment.
