Seoul Object Story
Chapter 228: Jade Wall (3)

In a beautiful cave made of jade of various colors, something grotesque began to rise. It was a red figure that seemed to have been made by mixing so much blood together.

The blood-red human that emerged from the pit had a scary appearance, as if it had been made by grinding up a corpse.

[ Not enough. ]

[ Extremely not enough. ]

A will shot out from the red monster with gaunt limbs that looked like it was limbs of a corpse that had died after starving for a very long time. It was a wave of will that was transmitted directly to the brain without opening its mouth or even making vibrations in the air.

The green jade man who heard that will shout.

“Bring them here!”

Following the green jade man’s instructions, the prepared Objects began to come in one by one.

The men who had driven a large jade stake into the area where the heart was were moving the Objects that were fixed with a large green jade.

The men with the jade stake were executives of an organization that had sacrificed all of their subordinates to the red monster. The members of the organization that had been calling the jade men ‘Hyung’ or ‘Brother’ up until recently were being crushed like sesame seeds, but their expressions did not change at all.

Instead, their eyes were filled with greed and strangely sparkled, making them look like madmen.

After eating the Objects, the appearance of the red monster took a small shift. Shining red jade could be seen scattered in its skin. On top of that red jade, there was a lot of red flesh that twitched like blood vessels.

[ Not enough. ]

[ Not enough. ]

At the same time, the red jade man reached out to the man who had brought the Objects, grabbed his body tightly, and began to eat his brain.

“Uaaaahhhhhhh!”

At that moment, the desperate scream of a man whose brain was being eaten alive echoed. Seconds later, the men who were filling the empty lot were startled as if they had been released from hypnosis and began to run outside.

“Stop.”

But at the green jade man’s one word, their bodies did not listen to their own thoughts and just froze.

And in that state, their brains began to be eaten, one by one.

“No!”

“Save me!”

Countless begging, threats, and miserable screams rang out, but the act did not stop until everyone’s brains were eaten.

Now, the cave that had been filled with screams and pleas fell into silence again. At the same time, the smell of all kinds of filth and blood filled it.

[ Not enough. ]

[ Not enough. ]

Although it had eaten countless humans and Objects, the blood-red jade human’s chest was still hollow as if a hole had been punched through it.

[ I need the blood and flesh of a god. ]

Hearing those words, the green jade man shouted with a satisfied smile.

“Go and find it. Find the god who is somewhere on this land. The traces of the god. The descendants of the god. The apostles of the god. Find anything!”

As the scream echoed through the cave, the brain-eaten corpses began to stir.

Then, as if they were alive, they rose and ran.

Countless corpses emerged from the caves deep in Seoul Forest and advanced toward Seoul.

*********

The light of dusk dyed the sky and seeped into the serene Seoul Forest.

Whenever the wind rustled the leaves, the trees sang a quiet chorus, making it felt like the forest was breathing.

The gently blowing wind contained something other than the refreshing scent of leaves and the moist smell of the soil.

The source of mystery.

It was an alchemical scent that was all too familiar to the tattooed female alchemist.

It’s taking longer than I expected.

It had already been two days since she had entered Seoul Forest, but she still hadn’t collected all the materials.

It’s dangerous to go any deeper…

The alchemist thought as she watched her younger sister slowly following behind him.

Since Seoul Forest was similar to the forest of her hometown, the alchemist was confident that she could go even deeper on her own. However, when the safety of her little sister was put into the equation, that assuredness vanished.

Of course, she would make it as safe as possible for her, but an unexpected situation could occur.

“Huuu…”

The alchemist looked up at the large tree and sighed in worry for his sister.

Even though she always said it was dangerous, her sister kept pestering her, so the alchemist who borrowed someone else’s body had a hard time strongly rebuking her.

It’s fortunate I had collected most of the materials I needed.

The materials she needed to get this time were the inhibitor materials for herself and the materials to repair the Gray Reaper’s light sword.

She already had almost all the materials needed to repair the light sword, but the inhibitor materials were nowhere to be seen.

This is a big problem.

The alchemist took out the remaining inhibitors and counted them, making a troubled expression. There weren’t many inhibitors left. In order to avoid becoming a monster that naturally drove people to death like at the theme park, she absolutely needed the inhibitors.

If she didn’t eat the inhibitors, her perception and ego would slowly become distorted, and as a result, she would become a harmful being for humans. No matter how much she cried out that she acted for humans, in the end, she was just a harmful being for humanity.

In the words of the Magic Book, she was a human who had become an Object. It was a change that could be suppressed with a strong will or with the help of an inhibitor, but no human could maintain it forever.

In the end, a human who became an Object had no choice but to commit suicide before their ego became distorted, or to abandon their ego and become a kind of machine.

“Unnine, did you find all the materials you need?”

At that moment, his sister’s voice suddenly interrupted the alchemist’s thoughts that seemed like they would continue on forever. The alchemist, who had woken up from her thoughts, felt the ominous atmosphere that had already spread throughout the forest and made a bewildered expression.

I was lost in thought like an idiot in an unsafe forest!

It was too late to run away.

“Get behind me quickly! Hurry!”

The alchemist, who urged her sister who was following her from a little distance, drew her sword and began to glare around. As her sister ran towards her with a bewildered expression, terrible monsters began to appear from the shadows of the forest.

They were monsters with huge jade stakes stuck in their hearts while their brains were eaten.

“Ugh.”

The younger sister was terrified at the sight of such a horrifying sight and grabbed the hem of her sister’s clothes.

“Jade stakes? That should be a technique that has long since disappeared.”

The alchemist drew her sword and muttered tensely.

*********

The Orange Reaper, who was caught cheating the Golden Reaper, was flying through the sky in a slightly depressed state. Then, it noticed a large number of Cloud Fishes flying around the sky.

They were the Cloud Fishes which carried the Golden Reapers and the Black Reapers to various parts of the world.

The Orange Reaper, who was looking at the school of Cloud Fishes that were flying freely, suddenly thought of an interesting ‘mistake’.

What would happen if the mini Reapers who were looking for precious humans ended up in the empty Seoul Forest?

The Orange Reaper, who happened to find the Cloud Fishes flying over Seoul Forest with the Golden Reapers on top of them, smiled even more.

The Orange Reaper, who smiled slightly resembled the Gray Reaper, approached the Cloud Fishes and ordered them.

Fall down.

Then, the Cloud Fishes lost all of their physical form and become like a normal cloud.

!

A Golden Reaper, whose foothold had suddenly disappeared, started to fall with a startled expression and wildly waved his hands.

Why?

As the Golden Reapers who were filled with doubts, looked up at the sky, it saw the Orange Reaper, who had a similar smile to the Gray Reaper.

!!!

The betrayal of its always gentle younger sibling!

The Golden Reaper, who had seen the shocking scene, was shocked as it fell into Seoul Forest.

Giggle-!

The Orange Reaper, who had been laughing slightly while watching the scene, began to gradually lower its altitude, wondering what would have happened to the fallen Golden Reaper.

The moment the tall trees of Seoul Forest came quite close to it, the Orange Reaper saw an urgent scene. It was a scene where harmful Objects that had desecrated human corpses were surrounding a single human.

“White flowers that resemble the sun, red stems soaked in blood, roots that fall on the book of magic. The Alchemist’s Shield!”

The Object that seemed to be protecting the human was struggling, spraying white flames all around, but it seemed like the chances of it winning were slim.

“Unnie!”

The urgent cry of the human…

The Orange Reaper hurriedly began to twist the odds in a situation that seemed more urgent than expected.

*********

With a bright smile on my face, I heard a will as I ran around with Halo.

Mom!

It was a desperate plea for help.

It was the voice of a mini Reaper asking for help.

It was the scream of a white fur ball caught in my grasp.

Hihihi.

I quickly gave up on catching the more agile Golden Reapers or Black Reapers and targeted the slow Orange Reaper, and I was able to catch it in an instant. Actually, I didn’t really intend to catch it, but the Orange Reaper made me so annoyed that I actually caught it.

The floor suddenly became slippery.

Something fell and hit my head.

I was a little annoyed that it twisted the odds and interfered in that way. But what really made me angry was the fact that it kept its unique smile while maintaining its distance from me. That smile seemed like it stemmed from its confidence that I wouldn’t be able to catch it.

So in a fit of anger, I used time acceleration and space control to capture it. The problem was that I never thought about what would happen after I captured him.

Before I knew it, the Halo had shrunk to the size of a mini-reaper.

Since I couldn’t help it, I had to put it on to show that their Mom could do it when I wanted it to happen to the Mini Reapers.

As I brought the Halo closer to the Orange Reaper, it suddenly shut its eyes tightly and started shivering. It was like a puppy shivering from the cold.

The other Mini Reapers stopped running away and stuck their heads out to watch.

The mini reapers who were watching had an expression as if asking, You’re not really going to put it on it, are you?

The moment I tried to put the Halo on the Orange Reaper’s head, the air began to distort and ripple.

!

The Mini Reapers who had been hiding with only their heads stuck out suddenly stood up and started looking around, and I also let go of the Orange Reaper and started looking around.

Malice that felt a little different from the malice of the Objects I had experienced so far was gathering in full force around Sehee Research Institute.

As a strange sensation washed over me, I looked up at the sky and saw a huge wall was being created above the sky. The red wall that adorned the sky like a red aurora.

However, it didn’t feel like an aurora at all. Rather, it was a huge red wall that felt like it had a physical body and was made of jade.

Thud-! Thud-!

At the same time, corpses with their brains eaten began to appear around Sehee Research Institute. They were strange monsters with jade stakes driven into their chests and empty brains.

But I didn’t even look at those monsters, and just stared at the red jade wall.

It’s dangerous.

Although it was like an Object, I felt like something different was targeting me.
