Chapter 39

Rank organization

Breath of the Avesta.

A powerful magic book with the authority of fire. Not simple authority of fire, but a fragment of divine authority is mixed. So 'Bug Mania' wanted that so much. To replace 'Bug Praise Theory' at minimum it has to be stronger than that.

Such a magic book that should be powerful and full of charisma was now sticking tightly to Seo I-hyeon's thigh.

Unfolding the book wide and embracing the thigh as if wrapping with the unfolded pages and rubbing the body not wanting to fall.

Seo I-hyeon was slightly flustered.

"Why is this like this?"

As soon as taking out this shape.

The moment taking out from the shadow, suddenly slipping out of the grip so startled.

Knowing as running away and trying to catch, no need to do so. Charged sharply then stuck tightly to the thigh like this.

Seo I-hyeon forcibly detached the magic book from the leg, and tried to lift to eye height, but again slipped out of the grip then charged sharply.

This time because of the height it stuck tightly to the stomach.

Unfolding the pages wide and sticking to the stomach and rubbing, whether this is a book or a baby, or a pet one can't distinguish.

"Hey hey. Separate a bit. Why like this?"

Seo I-hyeon forcibly detached the magic book again.

When first obtained no matter what material a very hard cover, but now it changed to a soft leather material cover.

The color was bright red. Looking at the cover intuitively a feeling like blazing fire arose.

The magic book floated in the air. Then the pages flip.

Flip!

A pure white page appeared. But on it there is writing.

[I was scared.]

Seo I-hyeon reading that tilted his head. That one can communicate in this way he already knows. Because he tried inside the sealed space.

But he couldn't understand being scared.

"What is scary?"

The book flipped one page.

Rustle.

[Something took me away. I am gradually disappearing.]

Seo I-hyeon as soon as reading that writing could know right away what matter.

Because of the unique nature of the shadow warehouse, if storing the existence disappears.

The magic book having ego so it seems it vividly experienced the process of its own existence disappearing.

"Even now like that?"

Rustle.

[Now not like that. Gradually filling. What disappeared is returning.]

"Fortunate."

Rustle.

[If sticking to the owner it fills faster. Can I hug?]

Seo I-hyeon had no choice but to nod. Saying filling the existence again what can one do.

The magic book quickly charged and stuck tightly to Seo I-hyeon's thigh again.

Seo I-hyeon looking down at that let out a hollow laugh.

He realized what this guy is doing sticking. This guy is now sucking Seo I-hyeon's mana. Not a large amount though.

Meaning Seo I-hyeon's mana helps filling the presence.

Honestly this Seo I-hyeon also didn't know. Because there was no occasion of that itself.

Anyway 'Breath of the Avesta' for a while leave sticking to the leg like this, now the turn to confirm the second magic book 'Bug Praise Theory'.

Seo I-hyeon with a slightly frowning expression took out 'Bug Praise Theory' from the shadow.

'Bug Praise Theory' also like 'Breath of the Avesta' as soon as coming out charged at Seo I-hyeon.

But Seo I-hyeon had no thought of letting even 'Bug Praise Theory' stick to the body.

Seo I-hyeon's body deeply sank to the floor then surged from the window side. Shadow movement.

Thanks to that 'Bug Praise Theory' that lost the target flew in the air and rolled on the floor.

But 'Bug Praise Theory' didn't give up. Charged at Seo I-hyeon again.

At that time, 'Breath of the Avesta' that was sticking to Seo I-hyeon's leg jumped and blocked in front of 'Bug Praise Theory'.

The appearance of standing with the book unfolded wide as if threatening.

'Bug Praise Theory' flinched then gradually moved to the side. Then 'Breath of the Avesta' moved a bit and blocked the path going to Seo I-hyeon.

The moment 'Bug Praise Theory' suddenly tried to move, from 'Breath of the Avesta' bright flames poured out.

Flare!

That flame was not hot at all. A flame with no heat at all.

'Bug Praise Theory' was covered in the flames.

The magic book on fire jumped around and rolled on the floor and made a fuss. But the book didn't burn at all. Just burning.

The flames soon disappeared.

Seo I-hyeon could know that 'Breath of the Avesta' deliberately extinguished the flames. How he knew, just knew.

When the flames disappeared, 'Bug Praise Theory' cautiously raised its body.

'Breath of the Avesta' still with the book unfolded wide, was glaring at 'Bug Praise Theory'.

'Bug Praise Theory' sneakily went in front of 'Breath of the Avesta' and lay flat. As if prostrating. Of course outwardly it only looks like the book is quietly placed on the floor.

Seo I-hyeon watched that scenery with peculiar eyes.

Seeing the book doing that it was a bit funny and also amazing. Whether magic books are originally like this, or these are peculiar he was also curious.

'Later I should ask the community.'

Seeing this and the community coming to mind first, it might be gradually getting addicted there.

Anyway the rank between magic books was certainly organized.

'Bugs can't win over fire.'

Seo I-hyeon quietly looked down at the two magic books.

Proud 'Breath of the Avesta', and intimidated 'Bug Praise Theory'.

"Don't cause accidents and stay quietly."

'Breath of the Avesta' flapped the pages as if asking to leave it to it.

Seo I-hyeon nodded and went to the window side and took out a chair and sat.

'Shall I place one single sofa here?'

In the living room he left empty because there seemed many occasions to do this and that work, but placing one single sofa by the window doesn't seem a big problem.

Anyway that is work to do later, now one has to finish the work to do first.

Seo I-hyeon left the two magic books and concentrated on the smartphone screen.

First the first thing to do is shopping.

He ordered the goggles Black so wanted. Ordered similar to White's and only size a bit different.

The work of imbuing magic one does after the goggles come.

After that he searched information regarding 'Breath of the Avesta' and 'Bug Praise Theory'.

Whether a famous magic book, a dangerous magic book, and a magic book many people want, if dangerous what points are dangerous, whether there are matters to particularly be careful, etc.

'Breath of the Avesta' had more information than expected. People wanting were also many.

On the other hand 'Bug Praise Theory' didn't have that much information. Popularity was also none.

'Well, who wants a magic book that makes the body into maggots?'

Probably 'Bug Mania' also didn't obtain 'Bug Praise Theory' because he wanted.

The people wanting 'Breath of the Avesta' were rich people. That is the magic book rich people most want to obtain number 1 was exactly 'Breath of the Avesta'.

The reason was because of the price 'Breath of the Avesta' demands.

Usually magic books just by owning make one able to use magic. That also not ordinary magic, but peculiar magic matching each magic book's characteristic.

However generally magic books need a price to use power. There are cases not so, but usually so. The more peculiar the more so.

Even cases not so the user just doesn't regard that as price, there is a clear price.

For example mental disturbance or anxiety and obsession, repeating consciousness, sleep deprivation, etc.

The price when using 'Breath of the Avesta' is all negative things.

Negative emotions accumulated while doing bad things, others' anger, obsession, resentment, curses that dwell through murder or acts equivalent to that also correspond.

Also even waste accumulated in the body one can provide as price.

If no such things?

Then it takes the body itself as price. Blood, flesh, muscle, organs, up to bones.

At this time the important thing is, that one can designate that price. This is really important, and this is exactly the secret of 'Breath of the Avesta''s popularity.

Because one can use the fat accumulated in the body as price.

Just by using the magic book the body improves and dieting is done. A very healthy diet.

Moreover one can resolve all the resentment or curses obtained in the process of accumulating wealth.

Where is a more excellent magic book than this.

Seo I-hyeon also the more investigating the more he admired.

"It was this degree? Lottery win."

The efficacy is also great. One can use the authority related to fire, but not simple fire that is only hot.

One can use non-hot fire, that is fire of purification.

Of course one can also use hot real fire. Although not using much.

Anyway it seems one can sell really expensively. Maybe one can set a record?

Exactly when having such a thought, 'Breath of the Avesta' that was dealing with 'Bug Praise Theory' flew and stuck tightly to Seo I-hyeon's leg.

As if pleading not to abandon it.

"Aish, this guy. Making bothersome."

He detached with the hand, but as soon as falling it sticks again.

"Understood, understood. Not selling. Not selling, right?"

Still doesn't fall. As if knowing all that Seo I-hyeon is soothing with words without heart.

Seo I-hyeon stuck out his tongue inside. Certainly he realized that he became that guy's owner.

"Understood. You I won't sell."

Only then 'Breath of the Avesta' sneakily fell from the leg.

And this time 'Bug Praise Theory' charged. Of course it couldn't stick to Seo I-hyeon's leg. Because 'Breath of the Avesta' blocked in front.

'Breath of the Avesta' unfolded the pages wide then hit the head part of 'Bug Praise Theory' and madly kicked the lower part with the foot.

'Bug Praise Theory' was beaten for a while then flopped on the floor.

'Bug Praise Theory' lay prostrated in front of 'Breath of the Avesta' and complained this and that. Honestly not that sound was heard, but in Seo I-hyeon's view it clearly seemed so.

Whether because not yet become the owner of 'Bug Praise Theory' the feeling itself was different from 'Breath of the Avesta'.

'Breath of the Avesta' that listened to the complaint for a long time slowly turned and looked at Seo I-hyeon.

Flip.

The pages flipped then unfolded one page.

Rustle.

[It says it wants to serve the owner.]

"Say enough. A new owner would be better. I have no interest in bugs."

Rustle.

[It says misunderstanding.]

"What misunderstanding."

Seo I-hyeon chuckled.

"I have what I directly saw with these two eyes."

Rustle.

[It says the previous owner had too strong prejudice regarding bugs so like that.]

"Prejudice?"

Rustle.

[That guy if saying bugs unconditionally only recalls maggots. Stupid.]

Seo I-hyeon slightly frowned.

"By the way what spokesperson are you? Why speaking instead?"

Then 'Breath of the Avesta' unfolded the pages wide. As if an illusion of shrugging shoulders arose.

Rustle.

[Hehe. This is all the difference in rank. That one to become a proper grimoire is still far.]

Seo I-hyeon read the writing 'Breath of the Avesta' wrote with speechless eyes for a moment. And alternately looked at 'Breath of the Avesta' and 'Bug Praise Theory'.

At Seo I-hyeon's gaze 'Breath of the Avesta' was restless. Even if there's some emotion exchange between the magic book and owner reading exactly what heart is impossible.

'Breath of the Avesta' that was restless in the end flipped the pages.

Rustle.

[Honestly speaking, there were many who owned me until now, but everyone this kind of communication was impossible. Being able to read my words like this the owner is the only one.]

Seo I-hyeon read that writing with peculiar eyes. 'Breath of the Avesta' also didn't know the reason why only Seo I-hyeon can uniquely communicate. This also just could know.

Rustle.

[This one says it wants to serve the owner.]

"Not particularly attracted."

Seo I-hyeon said that then suddenly thought.

'Is the initiative of this contract on me? Wasn't it owning just by unfolding and looking?'

Rustle.

[It says one can use the power of various bugs.]

"What kind?"

Rustle.

[One can also have tremendous reflexes, one can also have tremendous jumping power. One can also make the skin hard. It says one can also attach wings and fly?]

Seo I-hyeon didn't shake at all even at content that if another person sees one might be tempted.

"Yeah? After changing like that can one return to original?"

Rustle.

[It says evolving in a better direction then reversing that goes against the law.]

Seo I-hyeon nodded. He expected.

"Enough. You I decided to sell."

'Bug Praise Theory' was startled then trembled the whole body. As if scared.

Rustle.

[It says one can also rule bugs.]

Rustle.

[It says one can also fuse bugs and make new bugs.]

Seo I-hyeon flinched. That was a bit attracted. That is mixing insects and making useful new insects, right.

He briefly worried what one can do with that.

Catching flying bugs and using like drones, right. Catching ants and using like scouts too.

But is such a thing particularly needed?

'Already there's the shadow eye.'

Besides that what other uses are there? It doesn't come to mind at all.

One could modify well and use like suicide drones, but he doesn't know how much efficiency would come out.

Rustle.

[It says if trying one absolutely won't regret.]

When Seo I-hyeon worried, 'Breath of the Avesta' flipped the pages again.

Rustle.

[Try and if not liking the heart one can discard.]

From 'Breath of the Avesta' saying those words uneasiness was transmitted.

'What? Why uneasy?'

Seo I-hyeon having such thoughts read the writing written on the page again.

'Wait, discard? Saying discard while using?'

Seo I-hyeon's eyes that realized that meaning widened.

"Don't tell me I can cut the contract as I want?"

The uneasiness flowing in from 'Breath of the Avesta' became much denser.

"It was that? Really? Is that possible? Then why did 'Bug Mania' do that?"

If able to cut the contract just cutting is enough, right. And finding another magic book, or finding another path would have been enough.

Rustle.

[That is only possible for the owner.]

And that reason 'Breath of the Avesta' also doesn't know. Just only knowing that Seo I-hyeon can do so.

Seo I-hyeon's gaze scanned 'Breath of the Avesta' and 'Bug Praise Theory' in order.

The two magic books trembled.
