The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

＜Sub Quest – Succession of the four gods＞

– Casting God’s vessel with the soul of the priest (nameless)

* Open conditions

1. Wear all of the Noble Priest’s Sacred Set

2. Contact with priestly spirits

“A sub quest?”

Quests are very common in normal games.

However, among the quests given to me, this was the first time that it was named as a sub-quest.

Unless it was a main or character quest, there was only one difficulty mark written on it.

So… sub is not the main quest, but it’s an important quest?

In addition, the part of the opening condition was also noticeable.

It seemed that sub-quests would be opened if certain conditions were met.

but,

“hmm···”

The content of the quest was still unkind.

What to do with the priest’s soul?

Casting God’s vessel.

I have no idea what to do.

If we just look at what we know, the soul is talking about this, right?

I looked at the highlighted soul.

The sub-quest was created the moment I witnessed that spirit.

It fits perfectly with the opening conditions listed at the bottom of the quest.

It’s a priest’s set of shoes, because everyone is already wearing them.

So, I first called up the soul item description window.

＜The Spirit of the Ancient Priest＞

rare soul item

Is it because it is rare?

Because the program was impossible, those two lines were all item descriptions.

Also, as shown in the quest, it is the priest’s soul.

But how do I make this into a bowl?

“… it’s not.”

Come to think of it, I didn’t have to worry about that.

Quest’s navigation function doesn’t simply tell you the direction you need to go.

I used the navigation function right away.

Then, the Magic Cube production window came up automatically, and all the magic I had went into that slot.

and,

＜Inject the priest’s soul into it.＞

Such help was printed.

that means…

Are you saying to use sacred spirits as materials and craft souls into vessels?

“·······”

I thought for a moment.

He wanted to proceed with the quest as it was, but it was a bit of a risky adventure after all.

What if, after making it, all the sacred spirits, which are materials, fly away?

Even so, the damage was enormous.

The Priest’s Sacred Set effect includes Spirit Detection and Necromancer functions.

Of course, since the materials are being forced in the quest, the possibility of actually flying may be low.

The future was unknown.

However, after a little thought, I opened my mouth right away.

“I will do this.”

I pointed to the mortuary tablet containing the priest’s soul and said to Joo Seon-ah.

It was just to proceed with the quest.

The reason was because of the business card called Sub Quest.

Even for character quests, weren’t the rewards much more useful than regular quests?

Therefore, it was too much of a waste to miss it without even checking the reward of the first sub-quest.

Of course, it would be a little painful if all the sacred spirits were blown away.

In the end, isn’t it just my assumption that all the sacred spirits used for synthesis are blown away?

In fact, it could have been all that was left.

“But…the Code sounds tough?”

Meanwhile, Joo Seon-ah looked at the soul I had chosen and her expression blurred.

It seemed that he saw right through that this was a rare soul.

“I still want to try it, but is it possible?”

“okay?”

From nob le mt l. com

Joo Seon-ah nodded with a strange expression.

Permission was granted at last, and the priest’s soul came safely into my hands.

So, without hesitation, I put it into the magic cube’s slot and pressed the crafting button.

OK,

＜The spirit of the ancient priest resonates with the instrument.＞

The cube shone brightly with such a log.

***

After a while.

LB Academy’s director, Joo Seon-ah, opened the door to the director’s office and went inside.

With a slightly dazed face, she sat at the desk where she always worked.

And quietly recalled what had happened a while ago.

Inspector Kang Jin-woo.

From the beginning, Joo Seon-ah knew that he was an unusual person.

Her eyes, which can be said to be the best shaman in Korea, see not only the appearance of humans but also the quality of their souls.

That’s why a tolerable strong person can measure the power just by looking at it, and can even distinguish between good and evil in humans.

In that respect, the quality of the soul seen in Kang Jin-woo was truly amazing.

First, the soul was brilliant.

A bright light, like a halo, dwelled in that soul, and it was surely a light that illuminated the world.

A savior who saves at least one era, or a hero in a turbulent world would have the light.

But at the same time, his soul was deep and dark.

On the other side of such a bright light, a terrible darkness coexisted that even the light could not shine.

A real contradiction.

However, Joo Seon-ah was very interested in the contradiction.

The moment I looked into his inner world, I was focused for a long time without even realizing it.

So, she decided to readily hand over the precious spirit to Kang Jin-woo.

I was very much looking forward to what kind of soul and how he would carry out the decree.

However, Kang Jin-woo twisted Joo Seon-ah’s expectations in an unexpected direction.

“·······”

Kang Jin-woo chose the spirit left by the ancient priest in front of her.

In fact, it was a bit of a disappointing choice.

That soul has a slightly deeper history than other souls.

It was not a memorial containing tradition, an essential element of the program.

At the time, he was quite active, so he remained as a ghost.

An unknown priest whose name could not be engraved in later generations.

However, as soon as Kang Jin-woo chose the spirit of the priest, a change occurred.

The soul without any legend or name suddenly turned into a memorial.

“how···”

Looking back on it, it was impossible.

A spirit is like the existence of a great man.

If there are no achievements left to posterity, it is not something that can be artificially created.

But how did Kang Jin-woo make that possible?

In addition, the identity of the soul was unknown even to Joo Seon-ah, who saw the soul itself.

It was just empty.

If it was natural, it was a natural story.

It was a memorial that could not leave behind a legend, feat, or even a name.

So, Joo Seon-ah directly asked Kang Jin-woo what he had done on the spot.

However, his answer was shameless.

“Is it just okay?”

Those six letters were all.

If you want to dig further, it’s a trade secret.

An absurd answer that is absurd.

However, Joo Seon-ah did not ask any more.

Like the quality of the soul he has, and the power he hides.

At that moment, Joo Seon-ah noticed.

The potential possessed by an exorcist named Kang Jin-woo.

“Ten years… no, maybe I should call you Commissioner after five years?”

From nob le mt l. com

Joo Seon-ah muttered as she looked into the void.

If it comes to that, it would be an unconventional promotion.

However, in the eyes of Joo Seon-ah, it was enough to see such a future.

Is a shaman just a shaman?

Knowing the future, which is called the leak of heavenly knowledge, is, in a way, the basic knowledge of a shaman.

“Whoops…”

In that sense, it is fortunate and inevitable that Joo Seon-ah met Kang Jin-woo today.

Furthermore, they made a relationship by giving one of their souls to the future police commissioner.

For her and for LB Academy, it was not a bad investment.

Having concluded that, Joo Seon-ah smiled happily.

***

“after···”

Returning safely to my room at the inn, I looked at the spirit I had received.

As a result of the production, it rose from rare to epic, and was originally placed on the bracelet containing Mr. Heo’s ghost, and now hangs on my wrist.

＜The Forged Vessel of the Gods＞

epic soul item

– empty slots (4)

The explanation was all.

It is said to be a vessel of God, and only empty slots are displayed.

Therefore, even if you put it in the program slot, only the log that the program was successful is output.

Still had no effect.

It was fortunate that the machine tools that went into production were returned intact.

In the end, I went to find the soul to use the decree function, but nothing changed right away.

So if you think about it this far, it seems like you’ve lost something big.

Of course, that wasn’t the only thing added.

＜Sub Quest – Succession of the Four Four Gods (Suzaku)＞

– Pass the Suzaku’s test.

Reward: Suzaku’s Division

In the same way, Hyunmu, Baekho, and even Cheongryong.

After crafting the vessel of the gods, 4 sub-quests were added at once.

In addition, every time you pass a test, you are given a division spirit of the four gods.

And it will surely go into that god’s vessel.

Aren’t there only 4 empty slots?

“There are four divisions…”

Ordinarily, only one soul is capable of a decree.

However, it is said that as many as four spirits of gods, which are not ordinary souls, can be put in the vessel of a god.

Even if it was a part of a god, it was a tremendous effect even if it wasn’t a divine spirit itself.

It might seem like a pain to pass the test, but wouldn’t it be worth it?

So, I briefly checked the date on my smartphone.

It is now the 3rd day since I came to the academy.

The official dispatch period is at least a week, so there is still time left.

Of course, if the academy notified me of the end of the dispatch, I could go back to the police box tomorrow.

It didn’t have to be.

“Ah, yes. This is Inspector Kang Jin-woo.”

I called Minho Song.

Although the case was over, it was to ask not to advance the return date.

It wasn’t a difficult request from the academy’s point of view, so Song Mino readily accepted my request.

Having bought time, I nodded my head in satisfaction.

They said that the horns were also cut for sweetness.

I was planning on moving to clear the sub quest tomorrow.

*

next day.

I was driving the car myself and heading south.

There are a total of 4 Quests for Succession of the Four Guardian Gods.

Among them, the first quest I chose was Suzaku’s test.

The reason is, of course, that Suzaku is a God of all four directions closely related to fire.

Suzaku is the god who presides over the south among the gods of the four directions, and usually has a legend related to fire and summer.

Therefore, in the test of Suzaku related to this, there was a high possibility that flames would appear.

So, it will be the easiest test for me, who cannot pass through flames.

but,

“But where is this going?”

Since the sub-quest was also a quest, I could see an arrow in my eyes.

And that arrow had been pointing south all along, and it had been four hours since I followed it.

Now, if you go a little further, you will be in the South Sea.

However, the direction of the arrow does not change at all.

I thought it would be moderately nearby, but is it in the village at the end of the earth?

Well, anyway, until the real sea comes out, there will be clues.

“no···”

But my expectations were completely shattered.

The sound of the crashing waves was heard in my ears.

It’s time to slowly move into autumn.

Even in front of the South Sea, where the cool wind blows, the arrow was still pointing south.

“Where the hell is this? Are you in the sea?”

No, anyway, that was just too weird.

It’s not Hyeonmu or Blue Dragon, it’s possible that Suzaku is in the sea.

But then where the hell…

While thinking about it, I immediately came up with a new possibility.

Isn’t it just the sea in front of us?

“jeju island···!”

I guess I’ll have to catch a plane.

*

again a few hours later.

“I’m going to do it and come all the way here.”

I muttered with an absurd face.

The place where I am now is Baeknokdam in Hallasan Mountain.

According to the arrow, it seemed that the Suzaku was nesting nearby.

In Jeju Island in charge of the south, even if it is called Jujak, do you live in a high place because it is a bird after all?

It is said that Hyeonmu, who is in charge of the North, lives in Gaema Highlands, North Korea.

“Ugh···”

I shook my head and followed the arrow.

Even so, Baeknokdam is a controlled area except for the climbing course.

So I was able to deviate from the course only after desperately holding out my police ID, which I don’t normally use, and insisting that it was an official duty.

“···cold.”

It seemed that the sun would slowly set.

If you’re not in a hurry, you’ll have to spend the night here.

So I quickly followed the arrow.

Then, a cliff located on the opposite side of the hiking trail from Baeknokdam.

“hmm?”

In the middle of it was a black cave.

The cliff is several tens of meters high.

It was a location that could never be reached by simply walking.

Of course, there is nothing I can’t go to if I have opened the tradition of Arhat, but if I didn’t have this, I wonder if I made a cave like that.

“·······”

With that thought in mind, I observed the cave.

It couldn’t have been an ordinary cave.

I had never heard of a cave near Baeknokdam.

So I watched the cave, and I was able to detect the sense of incongruity right away.

“Isn’t it a real cave?”

It was a space similar to a magic station.

It is not an actual space, but a sub-space constructed by demonic power.

However, the power felt there was quite different from that of magic.

Hey, the one who made this is probably a master craftsman.

If that’s the case, should I call it a divine role, not a magic station?

“hmm···”

It’s a new station.

It’s new, but this is the first time I’ve met a being with a divinity since becoming an exorcist.

Although, compared to beings of absolute divinity, such as the god of creation or the only god, the gods of the four directions are somewhat inferior.

Compared to always being a ghost or a monster, the hierarchy is quite high.

Even if you don’t meet them completely as enemies, you won’t be able to take them lightly.

“·······”

So I entered the cave with a moderate amount of tension.

Then the hot air rushed over me.
