Seoul Object Story
Chapter 229: Jade Wall (4)

The tattooed alchemist stood guard over her younger sister, and put her hand into her reagents pouch.

A white flower that resembles the sun. Oil that contains the earth. Purple leaves that mix and swell.

As the alchemist picked up the alchemy ingredients as she chanted, the three ingredients mixed together and created a wave of white flames.

The brainless monsters, swept by the wall of flames that surged like a huge wave, rolled around on the floor, unable to overcome the force. And as if the law of cause and effect had been distorted, the tree fell down on its own, crushing the monsters.

At such an absurd phenomenon, the alchemist glanced up at the sky.

There, she was a Mini Reaper that looked like a white fur ball with orange skin was helping her with a gentle smile.

The Orange Reaper, who seemed to float in the sky and do nothing, was actually a great help.

I don’t know the principle, but it feels like the world is stepping in to help.

Trees fell, rocks tripped their legs, and the dirt suddenly became slippery.

Unnatural things kept happening.

If the Orange Reaper hadn’t been there, she would have already become a corpse.

At that moment, the monster’s hand began to rise up through the pile of fallen trees.

The flame that burns the Magic Books has no effect on them. Could it really be that it’s not a Magic Book?

However, despite the Orange Reaper’s help, the battle situation was still extremely uphill. The white flame, which was fatal to most Objects, was not working at all. Since the alchemist’s main weapon was not working, it could be said that she was just wasting time.

The reagents she had weren’t infinite either.

If things continued like this, there was absolutely nothing she could do.

What should I do?

The alchemist’s eyebrows deepened because of worry.

Rumble-!

The Golden Reaper fell on a solid rock with a sound that was hard to imagine; it was something that occurred from something that had fallen from high in the air.

!

At that moment, the Golden Reaper lay on a flat, large rock, looking up at the sky.

My sibling dropped me on purpose!

Did I do something wrong?

Rather than blaming the Orange Reaper, the Golden Reaper was wondering if he had done something wrong to it.

After all, just like the Blue Reapers, who didn’t like it when people approached them and made a fuss, the Golden Reapers made many mistakes.

I don’t know.

There was no connection between it, who was constantly running around on the ground, and the Orange Reaper, who was flying in the sky, so it was hard to find the reason. There was indeed a Golden Reaper who often played with the Orange Reaper, but it wasn’t it.

The Golden Reaper, who was thinking with a slightly gloomy expression, raised the corners of its mouth as it suddenly felt a presence.

Harmful Object!

The presence of harmful Objects was spreading throughout the forest.

Upon feeling that presence, the Golden Reaper regained its energy and jumped up.

Seems like, there was a reason why its sibling dropped it here!

As if a bomb had exploded, trees fell in large numbers, and heavy breathing could be heard in the forest where the ground had become a literal mess.

“Haa… Haa…”

The tattooed alchemist gasped for breath as she held onto the now-thinned reagents bag.

I’m sure now. It’s alchemy that disappeared long ago.

It looked like a ‘Jade Stake’, an alchemy tool that disappeared long ago, but it was so horrible that she couldn’t even call it alchemy, so the alchemist thought it was most likely not alchemy.

At first, she thought it might be the work of a Magic Book to imitate alchemy, but the more she fought, the more she became convinced that it was alchemy.

The fact that the deadly flame didn’t work on them was the second reason.

The problem was that it had a unique alchemy feel.

It seemed like ancient alchemy that wasn’t based on ‘wish’ like the alchemy she used.

Ancient alchemy that wasn’t based on ‘wish’, the foundation of the world tried to find a solution from outside the world.

But she only knew about ancient alchemy from what she had read in history books, so she couldn’t figure out how to deal with it.

How much longer can I hold out, I wonder?

The alchemist looked around while fiddling with her reagents bag, and saw her younger sister looking at her with a worried expression.

In that desperate situation, a golden flash of light suddenly flashed from deep within the dark forest.

A light that felt familiar for some reason.

The alchemist narrowed her brows slightly and thought deeply about what the real identity of that light was. However, while she thought so, her younger sister’s face lit up before she shouted.

“The Golden Reaper!”

“Ah!”

Only then could the alchemist recall the identity of the familiar light.

The light of a light sword using the Golden Reaper’s energy source!

If it was a powerful Golden Reaper light sword, it would be enough to defeat those monsters.

The alchemist finally felt alive as she saw it.

But for some reason, the Orange Reaper began to move away with a calm expression.

She didn’t know why she felt so, but it seemed like it was running away.

A commotion could be heard from the entrance of James Tower, which was still under construction.

A loud shout filled the space.

The sound of a solid riot shield receiving a heavy blow.

The loud sound of a harpoon being fired with the power of gunpowder firmly embedding itself in the ground.

The entrance to James Tower was blocked by a large number of people, creating a situation similar to a battlefield.

The security team of James Research Institute stood high above and fired white flames from the flamethrowers, but it had no effect at all on the assailants.

“Anti-Object flamethrowers are ineffective!”

“All types of Anti-Object weapons seem useless. Use weapons that inflict physical shock.”

“Yes!”

James looked at the situation with calm observing eyes.

Monsters whose brains had been eaten.

They could only be considered Objects, but for some reason, the white flames that were fatal to Objects were not working at all. Moreover, since physical force could only temporarily incapacitate them, the battle dragged on for a long time.

This is strange.

James felt something strange as he looked at the newly created measuring device to measure the mind corruption level that was rampant in Sehee Research Institute.

The device is detecting considerable mind corruption from those Objects.

No matter how he looked at them, they didn’t seem to be related to mind corruption ability, yet the device still detected some mind corruption level from them.

What made it even stranger was that it wasn’t the level of mind corruption being emitted by them, but the number of mind corruption eroding them.

I guess I should run some tests.

When James made up his mind and pushed past the security guards, the security guards were surprised and tried to stop him.

“Sir, it’s dangerous!”

James told them to stop and then took out the electric shock device he had.

It was a weapon created to subdue mind corruption in a violent fashing that it was difficult to approach.

It had a simple function that allowed him to apply an electric shock from a distance by sending a wire to remove mind corruption.

James calmly aimed at the monster and activated the electric shock device.

A giant jade stake that seemed to have grown from the heart.

An empty brain.

These truly horrifying monsters were rushing toward Sehee Lab.

Just by what I could sense, there were an incredible number of them!

Their number was simply countless in the area I could sense, so I could roughly guess how serious the situation was in Seoul. In fact, even without thinking about it, I could tell that it was a huge mess just by checking the news.

The whole of Seoul was in chaos.

The monsters that devoured brains and turned them into comrades seemed extremely threatening in the populous city of Seoul.

But there was another bigger problem.

At some point, those guys began to surround the ‘Sehee Research Institute’.

How dare they!

I stepped forward, intending to sweep away the increasingly piling monsters with a spatial cut, but at that moment, the monsters all began to retreat.

It was an orderly action of monsters that seemed to lack intelligence.

In those actions, I could sense a controlling entity behind them.

As expected, a very odd entity emerged from among the monsters.

It was a human-shaped thing made entirely of green jade.

However, it had a strange aura that made me couldn’t say for sure that it was an ‘object.’

If I were to judge rationally, it had caused a bizarre phenomenon, so of course I should have called it an ‘Object.’ However, my intuition told me that it was absolutely not an ‘Object.’

Furthermore, the muscular green jade man radiated an aura that made me feel worse the more I looked at it. It felt like it was connected to something endlessly distant and bizarre.

Probably because the Mini Reapers had also felt that aura, they now had an extremely irritated expression on their faces.

Reading the emotions that the Mini Reapers were emitting, I felt an unpleasantness that was incomparable to mine.

I just thought, ‘It’s a strangely unpleasant guy.’

However, to the Mini Reapers, the mere existence of the green jade man on Earth seemed like an unbearable pain.

In the end, the mini reapers, unable to bear their discomfort, rushed toward the green jade man all at once.

The Hungry Ghost Reaper swung its shining white sword, while the Golden Reaper warriors swung their lightsabers. In addition, the Red Reaper sent a fireball flying and the Blue Reaper shot a lot of water needles.

At that moment, the green jade man, who had been staring at me, shouted.

“Even though you are just a fake, I never thought a being called a god has fallen so low!”

The green jade man raised both his hands in lamentation with an extremely sad expression.

At that moment, a large green jade wall appeared and began to emit an intense energy.

Rumble-!

The moment the green jade wall appeared, It was as if something had fallen into the world.

“Return to your original form, a lead doll made of fake alchemy.”

The moment the green jade man’s cry was heard, the Hungry Ghost Reaper and other Mini Reapers lost consciousness and crashed to the ground like a doll whose strings had been cut.
