I Became a Soul Eater

The undead forces of Viscount Jimnus, the black magician, expanded their power without hesitation. The army of the Baikal Kingdom fought to the end with all their might, but it was not enough. The thought of facing an army that was indefatigable, unsupplied, and multiplied with each fight was terrifying.

In this way, the kingdom of Baikal disappeared into the back of history by the undead army. The Divinity army that massacred the Jenus Church was also nearby and was caught up in it, and all of them, including the three heresy judges who fell under my curse, were martyred. Looking at the situation, I thought about how to defeat Viscount Jimnus, but there was no proper way.

Can it be stopped by mobilizing all the forces of the Western Continent? No matter how much I think about it, there seems to be no way for humans to cope with it. If the Demon Beast King drags out all the monsters of the great forest and adds the strength of the elves, there is a chance of winning, but the Witch King doesn’t know where he is, and the elves will never come out until the undead legion reaches their barrier.

Meanwhile, something else was happening in the south. The Hughus Empire, which occupies the entire southern part of the Eastern Continent, had an accident. It’s actually been quite a while since this incident occurred.

The beginning was a mercenary from an orphan. One day, the mercenary gained a mysterious and powerful power. The power gradually grew, and as the power grew, the power of the mercenaries also became stronger.

The mercenary, who had grown rapidly from the leader of the mercenary corps to a lower aristocrat and from a lower aristocrat to a higher aristocrat in just a few years, finally caused a reverse revolution. If it succeeds, it is a reverse revolution, and if it fails, it is treason.

An unprecedented incident in the history of the continent had occurred where an insignificant mercenary became the emperor of an empire within a few years. And by the time the mercenary held the emperor’s coronation, the Baikal kingdom was destroyed.

The mercenary who became the emperor received the report and began to move to the border with the kingdom of Baikal, which had almost perished alone.

The Hughus Empire A new emperor suddenly appeared on the border of the place, now renamed the Eugene Empire after the new emperor. Borders, of course, were in an uproar. Even if it wasn’t, the emperor appeared alone on the border, where he gathered the forces around him and was on high alert.

I, who was observing the expanding undead army without any hesitation, saw it while I was at the border fortress of the Eugene Empire. The information was heard a few days ago. It was said that the new emperor had great power. And when he saw the emperor who appeared, he understood.

[What kind of debris is this?]

Emperor Eugene also had a golden glow in his huge soul, and a small fragment was embedded in it. It had the same conditions as Viscount Jimnus. But I didn’t know what that ability was. Rumor has it that he exerts omnipotence like a god. You will know what kind of ability it is after a while.

Both Viscount Jimnus and Emperor Eugene had fragments of unknown foreign media. Nergal is the god of disease and healing, so it must not be Nergal. Why are there so many fragments of foreign media all of a sudden? I don’t know. If you go back to Ctula, you will probably be able to hear an explanation.

Emperor Eugene rode a horse alone, without an attendant, and rode out of the border fortress as if for a walk. Hundreds of thousands of undead legions were already visible in the distance.

I was following Emperor Eugene. But sometimes Emperor Eugene glances at me. I couldn’t see it, but I felt like I was feeling something strange. Just in case, he kept a little distance from Emperor Eugene.

Eventually, when the waves of the undead crazily crashed 100 meters in front of Emperor Eugene, Emperor Eugene’s ability was finally demonstrated.

“Go away. They are not even corpses.”

With just one word, all the undead in sight disappeared. It didn’t exactly disappear, but it split into hundreds of pieces and raindrops fell to the floor. No matter how undead it is, it will be over once it splits into hundreds of pieces. Hundreds of thousands of undead literally became like that in an instant.

[This crazy]

I cursed without realizing it. What ability do you mean? Are you really omnipotent? With this kind of ability, I think I can unify the east and west continents, not the emperor of the Eugene Empire. who will stop that?

A shout pierced the sky from the side of the border fort. Emperor Eugene didn’t even pretend to hear it and started to slowly ride again.

Then he suddenly turned his head towards me. Sensing something strange, I reflexively avoided myself, but something cut through the corner of my soul.

[aaagh!]

I screamed. I knew this was the pain of having my soul cut off. Although it was only a small part, Emperor Eugene’s authority cut my soul.

Feeling the pain, he moved away from Emperor Eugene. It is a truly terrifying ability. I didn’t know it had the ability to cut even the soul. But on the other hand, I also thought that with that ability, I could defeat Viscount Jimnus.

Of course, it would be like running into a tiger’s den to avoid wolves, but considering that they took over the empire relatively peacefully even with such abilities, they wouldn’t slaughter blindly like the undead army.

I followed Emperor Eugene from as far away as possible. Emperor Eugene repeated the same scene several times after that. The undead flocked endlessly, and Emperor Eugene, who drew them in as much as possible, cut them into pieces.

As the same thing repeated, Emperor Eugene began to speed up a little, as if he knew that he couldn’t stay in this state. The sight of Emperor Eugene ascending through the sea of the undead was truly a scene from a myth.

Emperor Eugene was surprisingly moving with a direction. In other words, he seemed to know the direction Viscount Jimnus was. The more I looked, the more amazed I was. I wondered if it was really omnipotent.

Emperor Eugene, who crushed millions of undead and climbed the undead sea, finally met Viscount Jimnus.

The powerful high-ranking undead who escorted Viscount Jimnus in front of Emperor Eugene’s authority were no different from ordinary zombies.

“What are you?”

Viscount Jimnus asked with a puzzled expression. Even if I was Viscount Jimnus, it seemed like that. He obtained a powerful force capable of moving millions of undead, but an unheard-of existence appeared that could easily break it with his single body.

“Eugene Theodore, Emperor of the Eugene Empire.”

“My name is Jimnus Klagel. As you can see, a black magician.”

Surprisingly, the two of them naturally communicated.

“Would you like to join hands with me? If it’s you and me…”

Jimnus Klagel’s words did not follow. His body was already being torn into thousands of pieces. It was a rather pointless end for a black magician who committed a heinous crime that would go down in history.

“I can do world domination by myself.”

The empty monologue of Emperor Eugene, who was left alone, echoed. Either way, I was flying at full speed toward the spirit of Jimnus Klagel ascending into the sky.

I couldn’t help it because Emperor Eugene and Jimnus were both humans who could harm me, so I didn’t dare to approach them. Having managed to catch up and absorbing Jimnus’s soul and his unknown fragments, I felt stronger.

Looking down, Emperor Eugene was already returning alone. I felt that the back view looked a little lonely.

I did not follow Emperor Eugene. I’m curious, but he’s a really dangerous human being. Even if I reveal my identity and reveal my presence through letters or something, that person could always use that authority against me. Maybe not, but my feelings were warning me that way.

After Jimnus was defeated by Emperor Eugene, the rest of the undead began to lose their strength. The sight he saw on his way back to Ctula was literally a series of ruins. But it wasn’t something I could solve, and I didn’t have the strength to do it.

Against the remnants of the undead, he tested his new ability after absorbing Jimnus’ soul and fragments. As of now, I couldn’t deal with many undead. Even if I could handle it, I didn’t even have the heart to use it.

That’s how I finished my work in the East Continent. It was a journey that was longer than expected and had big events. And I finally started going back to meet Cthullah.

Upon arriving at Count Ctolari, Count Mays was seen educating a new heir. Then he went deep into the ground and met Cthula again.

[The mission has been completed.]

[Know.]

[I saw two of what seemed to be fragments of other foreign media. I absorbed one of them.]

[He also knows.]

Cthulla seemed to know everything, even in this depth. How far can the power of beings called gods go?

[Are fragments of foreign media so common?]

[It is not. It’s all you saw now.]

I guess I’m lucky If there were an abundance of humans with such abilities, the world wouldn’t survive.

[Emperor Eugene’s ability is not something I can do. Wouldn’t that be a bad influence on the world if left alone?]

[What are you going to do with something that is not within your power? After all, this world belongs to Junon. he’ll figure it out

Yes. Come to think of it, there was a single god, Junon. I emptied my head. I do what I can. What you can’t do is what you can’t do. Up until now, if I had put my mind to it, I could have dealt with the bad guys and saved many people. But it didn’t.

As I was about to fall into deep thought again, I woke up to the sound of Ctula.

[You should be compensated]

[Yes.]

You said you would give me a name I don’t know what a true name is, but wouldn’t it be possible to find out if I received it?

[This is what I give you, but I did not make it.]

Cthullah sounded like an elf. As I was about to ask what you were talking about, I felt strong energy from Ctula’s body.

[Nameless soul, I give you a name. Your name is ‘Record’.]

For a moment, it felt like something was being engraved in my soul along with a frown in my head. There was no pain, but it was a strange feeling. After a while, I came to my senses.

[What does it mean?]

[You will find out for yourself someday.]

Cthullah did not answer. It didn’t matter though. I lived well even when I didn’t have a name. it would be better if

[Is there any next mission?]

[does not exist. This time I used up a lot of my strength in this world. I need to get some rest.]

[okay. How long do you rest?]

[About 100 years in this world?]

you’re taking a long break It may not be a long time for such immortal beings. Should I get used to that kind of time too?

[Record, we’ll see again. Go away]

I listened to Ctula’s words and waited to be moved like last time, but nothing happened.

[Can’t you move it like last time?]

[just go]

[yes]

God says so, but what power can a soul like me have? I mumbled to myself and flew for several hours before coming back to the surface.

I thought for a moment what to do now. After thinking about whether to go back to Venus and see Ether or explore the Dragon Mountains as it is, I decided to explore the Dragon Mountains as originally planned.

From the beginning, the Dragon Mountains had a similar feel to the Great Forest. The difference is that the Great Forest is literally a forest full of trees towering high into the sky, and rocks replace it here.

Of course, these are things that don’t bother me in any way. The monsters in the Dragon Mountains were not much different from those in the Great Forest. It was only that the species inhabited were different because of the different environments, but it was not different that they were several times stronger than the monsters outside.

It took several days to reach the deepest part of the Dragon Mountains. Like the Great Forest, there was a realm of strong beasts here, but the strongest beast in the Dragon Mountains was Black Drake.

The drake, which was so huge that it was doubtful whether this was indeed a drake, saw this and even thought that people might be mistaken for a dragon.

However, my purpose was to find a dragon, not a monster caliber. So far, dozens of mountains that might have dragons have been investigated, but there have been no results.

And I want to investigate this mountain with the highest peak where the last black drake lived.
