I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

20 – The Crown Prince (2)

* * *

When ‘it’ appeared, the patrol team was filled with despair.

It was a massive castle.

No, perhaps it was a giant seashell.

But one thing was certain – it was not a being of this world.

Its shell was filled with incomprehensible ancient script. No, it could be understood, but knowing that laughing at it would result in having your eyes gouged out, no one could stare at it for long. In an instant, the shell cracked slightly, and a voice emerged.

“Come here, save me, don’t come in, I’m melting, hurt me, please…”

In the crevice, countless people were melting away inside the seashell.

They were the same people I had seen this morning at the DMZ.

With melted bodies and empty eyes, they reached out and stared outside.

When the sound of their screams, not their actual screams, reached the living, they could do nothing but panic.

“aaah! There! Over there!”

“Huik, huik. Huik. Ueuk.”

“This can’t be happening, this can’t be happening, this can’t be happening.”

A monstrous being that devoured their own friends and comrades.

A creature with a soul so different that just seeing it made one want to give up the fight.

That was the Ear King.

An evil spirit who could turn a region into hell by opening its ear gate.

However, the man known as Yu Hajin shouted fearlessly in front of such a monster.

“Hey, you big oafs, don’t be scared!!!”

Was it bravery? Or was it just recklessness?

The patrol team was overwhelmed by fear and couldn’t think of anything else.

But the clam looked at the patrol team with a disdainful gaze, as if the scream of such a tiny creature meant nothing to it.

And from the depths of the abyss, the clam that devoured souls reached out with a greedy touch towards Bongchu. It must have thought that Bongchu was a meal suitable for its status.

“Beep, beep.”

Bongchu was terrified to the extreme as he saw that touch.

Scary. It’s so scary.

This world is too scary.

I pretend to be strong, but I’m actually not strong.

If I don’t pretend to be strong, I’ll be marginalized in my family.

I hope someone will rescue me.

I don’t want to be eaten.

That was the moment.

Bongchu Jinarie looked at the back of a man.

The back that protected himself.

“Please don’t touch the chick. You bastards.”

And the man started attacking the Ear King with punches. The punches were surprisingly strong enough to break the seemingly indestructible shell and release the tortured souls buried in its shell, ultimately making the Ear King spew out dirty blood.

The patrol team looked at the man’s back.

A man who stood against the Ear King and protected them.

He was sacrificing everything he had.

“The captain is protecting us.”

“No matter how great the captain is, it’s impossible to defeat an armored spirit king like that.”

“He must have drawn strength from his oath. He swore to protect us in the sky. Such an oath must be a tremendous burden on his soul.”

“Damn, he makes me cry in a place like this. If he has that kind of power, he could just run away alone. Why does he fight and sacrifice his own life?”

Of course, Yu Hajin didn’t realize that he was currently defeating the Ear King.

He just thought he was defeating a perverted being.

“That’s also a pervert aiming at chicks.”

But the others didn’t know such a fact.

“Let’s fight too.”

“Are you crazy? How can we fight that monster?”

“Well then, what other choice do we have if we don’t fight to survive?”

“Right. If even the commander fights like that, we can’t just sit still.”

Even though the terrifying and fearsome Guigwang,

they could challenge him when they saw the courage of a man named Yu Hajin.

The patrol team stood up with their fists clenched.

Defeating the fear of Guigwang, their souls felt stronger.

And they began to punch towards Guigwang.

“Die, Guigwang!!!”

“aaargh!!!”

“Nymph Punch!!!”

“If you bring me bread in under 10 seconds, I’ll give you 500 won!!”

“Squeak!!!”

Originally, they were weak attacks that would have been blocked by the shell, but now that Guigwang’s shell was destroyed by Yu Hajin’s punches, it was different.

Since Guigwang had aspired to have a strong shell as a clam, the inside of the shell was very weak due to the recoil. It was even weaker than a typical level 1 evil spirit.

That meant that the attacks of the patrol team were effective.

“This, this can’t be true.”

At that moment, Guigwang sensed death.

It was unthinkable to die at the hands of these bugs.

It was unthinkable to die at the hands of these impure beings.

The two Guigwang in the sky heard the silent scream.

“No, he’s dying, isn’t he?”

“No matter how unstable the state of a Guigwang is, he just falls to such amateurs?!!”

They were Guigwang who were unfolding the Gate of the Ear and pushing out the Laws of Kamro, so they couldn’t intervene in their fight until they closed the Gate of the Ear.

“If the author dies, Guizun will be enraged.”

“Damn it!!! These amateurs are bothering us!!!”

“I guess we have to use that. It’s a shame, but we can’t help it.”

However, sending power was possible.

The King of Elves withdrew what he treasured, fearing the anger of the Lord of Elves.

From the hands of the two King of Elves, a substance called spirit fluid, ectoplasm, began to form. It was condensed energy that had completely eliminated the will and individuality of a human soul through torture.

The spirit fluid collected over the decades would be enough to recover and open the elven gate. With the gate open, those pests could be crushed in an instant.

The King of Elves who was being assaulted by clams also thought the same. So, he sucked in the surrounding air like seawater and simultaneously formed a bond.

“Gate of the Elves, open!!!”

However, the gate did not appear.

The King of Clams did not have enough power to open the gate.

“No, how is this possible.”

The ectoplasm sent by the other King of Elves was scattered in the hands of the man who had betrayed him. The man didn’t even seem to realize that he had dispersed the ectoplasm.

And the man was holding an electric shocker.

Not only that, he had one in each hand.

The man said.

“Do you know what this is?”

“W-What, what is it.”

“Why don’t you know!!! A shocker splits lightning, you know!!!”

“W-What is that!!! Ahhh!!!”

After Yu Hae-jin’s machine operated, chaos broke out once again. The patrolling team, who had been frightened by the mention of the elven gate opening, no longer hesitated.

Even though they were on the verge of opening the gate, they fought against the King of Elves without fear. The patrolling team sent respectful glances to Yu Hae-jin.

So, they followed Yu Hae-jin.

To be more precise, they imitated his actions.

“Die, King of Elves!!!”

“Uwaaa!!!”

“Even if you call a lawyer, you won’t be able to dodge my fist!!!”

“My bread!!! Haven’t you bought my bread yet?!!!”

“Squeak!!!”

The punching did not stop.

It did not stop until the clamshell was completely demolished.

It did not stop until all the tormented souls inside disappeared.

And so, the King of Elves disappeared, leaving behind the words “It hurts too much.” However, Yu Hae-jin mistakenly thought that he had used teleportation when he witnessed the disappearance.

If he had used teleportation, he might not have reappeared targeting the chick.

So Yu Hajin said this.

“Chick, stay behind me.”

“Cheep cheep. No, yes. Yes.”

The chick followed behind Yu Hajin nervously.

At that moment, the patrol team who had all survived shouted.

“We won!!!”

“Damn, we, we have destroyed Guiwang!!!”

“This kind of leadership is unrealistic!!! Our leader is the best after all!”

“My bread!!!”

Yu Hajin trembled as he looked at them.

The one we just beat up wasn’t Guiwang.

Because he saw it with his own eyes.

But there was no reason to hesitate.

Just as Yu Hajin was thinking about taking a break and looking at his phone, the chick caught his eye. The chick was trembling.

“Why, are you scared because someone is targeting you again?”

“I-I’m not, I’m not scared. I-I’m a p-pho-p-hoenix. I-I’m shaking like t-this because o-of my body, so d-don’t make any w-weird noises. Sniff.”

Yu Hajin didn’t have the talent to comfort the kids.

So he just covered them with his own coat.

“What, what is it. They said chicks are weak to cold.”

When the chick looked up at him with a wet gaze, Yu Hajin turned his head awkwardly and muttered to himself.

“It’s because of the chick in my heart that I feel cold. Right?”

After hearing those words, Jinarie smiled. Yu Hajin wanted to make a joke about crying and laughing, but since she was a girl, he decided to hold back.

* * *

The ridiculous disappearance of the new Guiwang.

After seeing the disappearance, the Guiwang murmured.

“If you don’t want to incur the wrath of the Lord, you have to take the neck of Gamro.”

“That’s right!!! If we kill Gamro and even the phoenix, the Lord will forgive us!!!”

As the energy of the Guiwang became more evident, Gamro took his stance right in front of his own portal. Originally, the gateway to the Guiwang was a technique that released his own spiritual realm into reality through a door. Therefore, the power generated from the gateway spread in all directions.

But what if he could concentrate that power solely on himself? That was the birth of the modified gateway technique, the Gateway Modification (守門開顯).

Having made a vow not to leave the door,

a skill that concentrates the power of the gate on oneself.

The power of the gate, which used to turn the world into a realm of clouds and mist, began to gather in one person.

“Is this an attempt to buy time?”

“How boring!!!”

That was the moment.

Gamro saw something.

And as soon as he saw it, he closed his own gate, dirtied his body with negative energy using negation, and lost his supernatural abilities, falling to the ground.

The gatekeepers raised their eyebrows at his incomprehensible actions.

“What is he doing? Gamro, don’t you know that once you close the gate, you cannot open it for a few minutes? And not to mention the tremendous power consumed every time you open the gate. Ha, you will not be able to open the gate again in this battle.”

“You stupid girl!!! You will die because of that choice!!!”

Seeing Gamro’s terrified expression, the gatekeepers rejoiced and raised their eyebrows. And soon, they felt something strange. Gamro, who had been fighting them without any care until now, suddenly felt terror?

That was strange.

Thus, the gatekeepers turned their eyes to where Gamro was looking.

There stood a girl.

She was cruelly beautiful.

“Give me back what’s precious to me.”

To someone, she was Jamsooni,

To someone, she was called Yeongjon.

“Then I will kill you without causing any pain.”
