For the plan to work, we must first separate Seo Ji-ha from Gang Cheol-i.

However, that was quite a difficult task.

「𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙𝙨 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙠𝙮.」

That goes without saying. In fact, if I hadn’t acquired the knowledge of the entire series, I wouldn’t have even attempted it because the difficulty level is extremely high.

If someone were to see me trying to do it with these inadequate specs, they’d probably call me crazy.

「𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚.」

After having Yoo Ah-in guard the entrance to the ward, I headed to Seo Ji-ha’s bedside, who was asleep next to Seo Ji-an.

“What do I do?”

“I need a nature-type spell. I’ll tell you the incantation, so assist me with that.”

There were three important things.

Separating Gang Cheol-i’s main body from Seo Ji-ha’s body. Then, transferring the separated Gang Cheol-i into the Blue Heart Jade. Finally, protecting Seo Ji-ha’s body during the process.

Seo Ji-ha’s body is probably in this state because it couldn’t handle the powerful fire energy in Gang Cheol-i’s body.

Just by looking at the Revived Person trait, it’s obvious that Seo Ji-ha must have overcome countless life-threatening situations without even knowing it.

“In the process of performing the ritual, the fire energy in her body will surge, so you need to suppress it with your water energy.”

” . . .Got it.”

Not only Seo Ji-ha, who is the subject of the ritual, but Seo Ji-an’s role is also important. If she gets caught up in the flow of fire energy, everyone present could be in danger.

“Then let’s begin.”

The magic that I can handle the best right now is none other than forbidden magic.

That’s why I’m going to use an ancient forbidden spell to split Gang Cheol-i’s soul in half.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙡 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙝𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩 3.」

The sorcerer who used that spell literally split his own soul and transferred it into two bodies.

And he caused incidents by deceiving everyone with that trait.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨.」

First, I’ll split Gang Cheol-i’s soul in half, and then transfer only one half into the Blue Heart Jade.

You might wonder why I have to do it that way, but to be more precise, that’s the only way I can do it.

「𝙂𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙤𝙡-𝙞’𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙚𝙤 𝙅𝙞-𝙝𝙖’𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙚.」

In fact, it’s highly likely that it has already mixed with Seo Ji-ha’s soul to some extent. Since the size of the souls is different, to be honest, it would be difficult to completely separate Gang Cheol-i.

However, it’s not impossible to separate and transfer a part of it.

「𝙄𝙛 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮, 𝙎𝙚𝙤 𝙅𝙞-𝙝𝙖’𝙨 𝙨𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩.」

It’s a viable solution that’s worth trying.

I took out a small box from my arms and immediately opened the lid.

【Water Dragon Grass】

▶ A seaweed that is saturated with water energy. It has excellent effects in boosting spiritual power and water element affinity.

One of the elixirs I got from Cheong So-ha a few months ago.

I originally brought it with the intention of giving it to Seo Ji-an when the time came, but now that things have turned out this way, I planned to use it in a different way.

“Can you extract the water energy in here and inject it directly into Seo Ji-ha? It doesn’t have to be perfect, just make sure it seeps into the area near her heart.”

” . . .I’ll try.”

Whoosh.

About 10 minutes passed like that, and Seo Ji-an, who had been sweating profusely with her hands on the Water Dragon Grass and Seo Ji-ha’s chest, opened her closed eyes and spoke to me.

Rustle.

“I think it’s done.”

With that, all the preparations are complete.

I drew out the spiritual power in my body and simultaneously used the Spirit Absorption trait to burn the vengeful spirits bound within me.

Whoosh.

Rumble!

The timing was perfect. If I hadn’t acquired the Spirit Absorption trait, I would’ve definitely run out of spiritual power.

“Whew.”

I let out a deep breath at the surging spiritual power and burned more vengeful spirits.

From now on, I’ll be using a forbidden spell that is notoriously difficult. Therefore, I needed to replenish my spiritual power as much as possible without holding back.

Swoosh.

Rumble.

Finally, when my body was filled with spiritual power to the point where it was hard to contain, I began to slowly channel the spell I had prepared into Seo Ji-ha’s body.

“Spell, Soul Devouring.”

The spell I used in the fight with Ggong-sam-yi last time.

First, I’ll use this to stimulate and draw out the soul of Imoogi Gang Cheol-i hiding in Seo Ji-ha’s body.

An ordinary person would start to lose their mind from this stage, but with my karma value at the limit, I’ll definitely be able to endure it.

「. . .𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩.」

Whoosh.

An alien feeling soul hiding among Seo Ji-ha’s soul.

Just by touching it for a moment, I could sense its ferocity and powerful energy.

And as I began to earnestly stimulate Gang Cheol-i, a vast amount of fire energy began to pour out from within Seo Ji-ha’s body.

Boom!

“Ugh.”

“Ack!”

Seo Ji-an and I simultaneously flinched, and Seo Ji-an, who quickly noticed what was happening, immediately began using a spell to neutralize the fire energy.

Whoosh.

Fwoosh.

Thanks to the effect of the Water Dragon Grass that she had injected into her body, she was still able to maintain her focus, but if the ritual took too long, there was no telling what would happen. I had to finish this as quickly as possible.

「𝙃𝙪𝙛𝙛.」

Rumble.

I activated the Spirit Absorption trait once more to increase the spell’s output.

Then, a definite reaction gradually began to occur.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Something like the sound of a giant creature’s heartbeat pounded in my ears.

And the expression of Seo Ji-ha, who was lying on the hospital bed, twisted in pain.

Boom!

“Gah. . . . . . .”

The amount of fire energy being emitted also increased significantly. Gang Cheol-i’s soul has recognized us and is starting to react.

Looking at Seo Ji-an, who was starting to frown, I didn’t waste any time and immediately proceeded to the next stage of the ritual.

Whoosh.

Buzz!
