Chapter 14: Boogie boogie boogie (6)
TL/ED – Enuma ID
I stared down at Soo-hyun’s corpse, briefly contemplating the situation that had happened in an instant.
I had no intention of scolding Grizzly. He did it to save me.
Still, I should train him later to control his strength better.

“Haa….”
It all happened so suddenly, and it’s just absurd.

I mean, why did he have to charge at me with a knife?
He wasn’t in his right mind because of the evil spirit… but still… but…
My eyes narrow.
…In a way, this was the work of the evil spirit too.
Wе̊b̊n о ṽе̃l̃ Ё.n u m̊а
At that moment, a scream rang out from behind.
“Kyaaaaaaaaah!”
It seemed like someone who arrived late from the back had seen what happened. I had a rough idea who it might be.
“Ah… Aaah….”

It was the new housekeeper, Kim So-ra, and Ellie hurried over, alarmed by the scream.
“So-ra ssi! What happened!?”
Ёǹ ū m ӓ
“An, an evil spirit! The evil spirit again! P-pushed Soo-hyun ssi…!”
Nice assist.
Just like how the shaman died when the chandelier fell.
From So-ra’s perspective, it must have looked like Soo-hyun’s body suddenly flew back, smashed through the railing, and fell.
Yes, this was the work of a wicked evil spirit.
There was no need to make things more complicated. It was easier to leave it at that.

You were trying to kill everyone anyway. You take the blame.
Besides, if they found out I had an invisible vampire, I would have had to kill them both to keep them quiet.
It was an accidental killing, that’s all.
It’s not like I’m some crazy bastard who enjoys killing people without hesitation.
Even if there’s no clear physical evidence left behind…
Just the act of killing someone would slowly build suspicion toward me.
Ẃ е̄b n̄ оv̈ е̂ ĺ Ên u mа̂
If I can get through this without killing, that’s better.
I approached the collapsed So-ra. While Ellie hesitated, carefully choosing what to say, I spoke to So-ra in a soft voice to comfort her.

“I don’t want to die… Why, I really don’t want to die….”
“I won’t let you die.”
“……!”
In the midst of the chaos, my resolute words made both Ellie and So-ra’s eyes widen.
Е n ũm̆ а̀
I smiled gently and said what she needed to hear.
“It’s only natural to be scared, but there’s no need to be too afraid. If there are demons, that means there’s also a god.”
If you’re scared in this mansion, it’ll only strengthen the power of the Boogeyman in Emily’s body.
That’s why I pretended to be a seasoned expert who could give a sense of security.

This is only my second real-life case, and my first time performing an exorcism ritual, though.
Anyway, whether it worked or not…
Ё n̄ ùḿа́
So-ra’s eyes were still trembling, but she tried to stand up.
“I’m sorry. I know I’m not the only one struggling.”
Ellie shook her head and helped So-ra up.
“No. It’s natural to struggle. Still, we have to walk through this darkness.”
Her gentle yet resolute voice rang out.
“For the sake of those who were sacrificed by the evil spirit.”

I nodded at Ellie’s words.
“…Th-that’s right.”
I turned my gaze slightly away from the broken railing.
Yeah, it’s already in the past. What matters now is to move forward to solve the problem, just like Ellie said.
For the sake of the shaman and Soo-hyun, who were sacrificed by the evil spirit’s wicked trickery.
And to make sure there are no more victims.

Then, in that moment.
Crash-!

The door to Emily’s room in the dark hallway shattered, and Pastor Go Ju-won was suspended midair, flailing his legs and screaming.
“Lord! Lord! Save me! Save meeeeee!”
Crash- Crack!!
He slammed into the hallway wall.
En u_m̀ а̇
Blood streamed from Go Ju-won’s eyes and nose, and his body trembled before.
Like a tomato hurled at the wall and burst open, he left a sticky bloodstain as he collapsed.
Pastor Go Ju-won, dead.
And just like that, another victim appeared!

With teary eyes, So-ra looked like she was about to cry as she said,
“Y-you said there’s a god…!”
Е̄ ń ũ m а̇. іd̃
Tch, guess He didn’t feel like saving him….
Ellie and I had nothing to say.
Still, the good thing was that this time, it really was purely the work of the evil spirit. …No, that’s not good, actually.
I wiped my face with my palm and quickly pulled myself together.
We’re seriously out of time now.
After going through all this trouble, if Smith, the one funding us, dies, this will all have been for nothing.

“You got the brazier, right?”
“Yes, I found it, but.”
At my question, Ellie and So-ra brought over a brazier decorated with gold from the back.
So-ra cautiously spoke.
“I heard it’s an antique brazier that was used in rituals by the Zoroastrian religion… Is that okay?”
“It’s fine. What matters is that it’s a brazier.”

I took the robe from my bag, a white coat inscribed with names of power, and put it on.
It wasn’t to set the mood.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The hem of the coat fluttered as I wore it.
I already had the incense pouch with me from the start, and I strapped the canteen containing Holy Water and the sprinkler to my waist.
Preparation complete.
I looked into Emily’s room through the broken door, where light leaked out.
Wе b̊ ñ оvēl Еnūḿа
I gripped the grimoire with a cold steel cover.
“Then, let’s go.”
So-ra looked like she was about to cry. But at the sight of Ellie nodding resolutely, she lit the bundle of paper, placed in the brazier instead of firewood, with the lighter she had brought and followed after.
The inside of Emily’s room was a mess.

Maybe he had attempted an exorcism ritual and failed. Pages of the Bible, torn and scattered mockingly all over.
Smith sat collapsed, despair written across his dazed face.

And Emily… the evil spirit inside Emily leaned askew against the bed.
She glared at me with a chilling smile.
“Yet another who doesn’t even believe in God has come spouting His words, pretending to be His servant!”
The girl’s beautiful voice mixed with a screech like metal scraping as it echoed out.
“Try whatever you want! This body is already mine, and this mansion is my stomach!”
I didn’t mean to laugh. But I ended up laughing.

“-Ha!”
“……?”
Doesn’t believe in God, huh… That’s wrong. I do believe in God.
There’s a lot in the world that can’t be seen.
But no one doubts the existence of solar energy, electricity, or nuclear power.
I looked at the Boogeyman and smiled faintly as I spoke.

“When you use electricity, do you do it with reverence?”
“-What?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Great Lord, God, Amen, all that stuff.
It’s all just inputting codes to draw the energy needed for magic.
Yeah, what matters are the incantations, rituals, the procedures.
“Creature of fire, I consecrate you.”

I took incense from my incense pouch and tossed it into the flame of the burning brazier.
“All falsehood shall flee from you. You shall neither be harmed nor deceived.”
Fwoosh-! The flame roared as it touched the incense and flared upward.
“Almighty Lord, by this fire I have made-”

The incense burned up in an instant, creating smoke that quickly filled the entire room.
“-bless it!”

I’ve only just started learning magic, but I have a rough idea of what a wizard is.
Gods, elementals, great names, demons.
Shameless ones who, without discrimination, imprison mysteries in rules they arbitrarily decided and try to achieve what they want with power that is not their own.
That is what a wizard is.
God exists, and He is a mass of energy.
Emily’s face, which had been smiling creepily amid the smoke and incense filling the room, twisted in pain.

“Urgh…! Uuuurk-!?”
“Your kind is weak to the scent of incense. That’s why you ran from me in the lounge.”
When Raphael burned fish entrails along with incense,
Asmodeus, who had possessed the body of a maiden, fled.
I walked toward the Boogeyman as it contorted its face and glared at me.

I took the sprinkler from the canteen.
When Solomon, son of David, held hyssop, it became the sprinkler.

I swung the sprinkler, scattering Holy Water onto Emily’s body.
As the Holy Water touched her body.
“Aaaaaaaagh-!”
A hideous scream that was not Emily’s erupted from her vocal cords. Sweat ran down her face, her eyes darting in panic.
Еń ū m̆ а̂ . іd
This is dangerous! This is dangerous! That guy is the real thing!
Damn those who imitate Solomon, those who perform heresy in God’s name, those who plunder demons…!
He’s a real wizard! He must not be allowed to come any closer!
Emily, just like when she had thrown the pastor away, glared fiercely at Yo-han, but-

[YOD, HE, VAU, HE], [ADONAI], [EL], [ELOHIM]
The sacred names inscribed on the coat that blocks evil spirits rendered her powerless and had no effect.

Pushing through the smoke, the hem of the white coat fluttered as Yo-han drew even closer.
“Don’t come any closer… I said don’t come near me-!?”
Emily tried to charge at Yo-han to stop him by force, but something immense pressed her down onto the bed.
“Keugh-!?”
“Grrrr….”
A low growl of an invisible beast echoed.

Of course, it was Grizzly.
Emily’s fierce expression twisted, then suddenly softened, and in a sorrowful, innocent voice, she spoke to Smith.
“Uh… Agh… It hurts. It hurts. …Grandfather. Grandfather, help me. This man is…!”
“E-Emily… is that you?”
I shoved the sprinkler back into the canteen at that pathetic act.
“Shut up, you wretch.”
Е̂.ǹ ūm a.і d̊
I reached out, grabbed Emily’s blond hair, and slammed her head into the bed.
It wasn’t because I had any grudge against Emily, but because when dealing with a demon, you must never show weakness or hesitation.

“If I drag the king of ghosts before you and flog you, will that make you come to your senses?”
When the Son of God rebuked the Ghost. The illness of the Ghost-possessed man was cured.
“Do you think I can’t do it? You nameless wretch, you crawling vermin from between the cracks.”
For a brief moment, the shadowy face of the evil spirit overlapped with Emily’s face.

“This body is already mine! Go ahead! I’ll bite my tongue and gouge out my own eyes! This girl will die because of you!”
“Do it.”
“-!?”
Emily’s… no, the evil spirit’s, eyes opened wide.

I leaned down, brought my mouth close to her ear, and spoke in a low voice.
“Like you said, it’s your body, not mine. You’re the one who’ll feel pain, not me.”
Ě ṅuḿä
I straightened up again and looked down at Emily’s face.
“Go ahead. With such a pretty face, there will be satisfaction in tormenting you.”
Obviously, this is all an act. I’m not some psychopath who takes pleasure in hurting others.
Emily’s face contorted.
“Do you… think this will make me afraid of you!?”
“Then why didn’t you come to kill me yourself?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“─!?”
What made me certain I could defeat it was the fact that instead of coming to kill me directly, it had sent Soo-hyun.
If I were just an annoyance, it would’ve handled me personally.
But instead, it seduced Soo-hyun and sent him.
It kept avoiding me, killing others, building its strength.
Narrowing my eyes, I looked down at the twisted expression of Emily…. no, the evil spirit, where fear had started to show.
Wе̃b n̄о vе l Е n ǔ m̈а_
“You were afraid of me.”
“Ah… Aaaaagh…!”

In this space, the being that devours fear was now reversed.
“Let’s end this.”
I placed my hand on Emily’s forehead and recited the incantation.
“Lord, imprison my enemy in an iron cage. Strike it down. Defeat it.”
Е n̈û_m ӓ
“St… stop… stoooop!”
At the evil spirit’s scream, I withdrew my hand, brushed back Emily’s sweat-soaked hair, and spoke in a soft, mocking voice.
“Then cry. You can beg too.”
Thinking it needed something harsher, I quoted a line from a novel I had once enjoyed.

“Cry.”
I leaned down, pressing my forehead against Emily’s, staring into her hollow eyes, into the abyss, while twisting my face into a cruel smile.

“Cry and prove your purity. You mongrel.”
I drag out the demon hiding inside. There’s nowhere left to hide.
“Ah… Aaaah…!”
Emily’s mouth opened, and a black shadow poured out from within. It flailed its long arms trying to escape, but.
“Haaah….”
It was seized by the waiting arms of Grizzly and dragged back, teeth sinking into its body.

“Aaaaaaagh! Mercy! Great One! Great One! Great One! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!”
The same mouth that had mocked now screamed for mercy.
My gaze sank low. No, it’s too late to grovel now.
I let out a faint laugh and spoke.
“You didn’t cry, you moron.”
Then, in a quiet, low voice, I gave the command.

“Eat.”
At my words, the shadow shrieked in horror.

“Great One! I’ll cry! I’ll be your servant! You who turn stone into bread! You who wear Solomon’s crown! Master of the beast from the stars! Have mercy…!”
It’s already too late.
“Gyaa~.”
Grizzly let out a pleased sound as he tore into the creature with his teeth and claws, ripping it to pieces and devouring it.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!”
The mansion shook, and the evil spirit was shredded and disappeared.
To my eyes, it was a brutal scene.
But to the others, it would look like the exorcism had succeeded, and the spirit dispersed and vanished into the air.

…I hope that’s what it looks like.
After everything ended, the room was filled with silence.

Smith looked at Yo-han with disbelief in his eyes.
“You… just who… are you?”
His voice trembled, unable to continue.
To Smith’s question about my identity, something I’ll 100 percent cringe at and regret later.
Maybe I got swept up in the mood too.
I repeated the introduction I gave back in the kitchen.

“Ghostbuster.”
This time, no one laughed.
