Chapter 74: Praying For Rain (22)

Do not cry and talk to me slowly.

Zaha handed her a silk towel.

Yes.

The shaman, Jung Myung, wiped her eyes.

I have no parents, siblings, or even an aunt to teach me. But I know what it means to be a shaman. A shaman is someone who sees the invisible God and relays his message.

But you cannot see that God nor hear his voice?

Yes, it is all my fault. Sometimes he appears and says something, but I just dont know

Her voice was trembling now.

As a result, I couldnt even read fortunes correctly, and when people asked me questions, I didnt know the answer. I couldnt do anything right. No one says it out loud, but deep down, they think I cant achieve anything.

Jung Myung shook her head, bursting into tears. The two of them just let the girl vent her pent-up emotions.

It is quite an unfortunate thing.

Seol Young said softly.

The Tree Spirit God doesnt read fortunes or answer questions. He is a powerful God who holds great power over rituals and exorcises evil spirits.

Even though I have such a great God to serve, this happened because no one taught me.

That is right. Still, if youd had a few more years, you would have found your way on your own. You are too young. The Tree Spirit God is already disappearing from this world, and it couldnt spend much time with you.

The girl could have become a great shaman if she had had a couple more years.

She stopped crying and looked up.

Still, everyone in this village is kind. They never hated me, so I was able to live happily with them The problem started half a year ago.

Jung Myung said.

Six months ago, a powerful shaman named Sabiso arrived in our village. With his unique powers, he won the hearts of the people. And then came the drought, which didnt stop

Did Sabiso say he would hold a rain ritual?

Yes. He told us that he had a wishing bead, and if we made a genuine wish for seven days, the Dragon God would grant it.

She bit her lip.

But isnt it quite strange? A shaman is a being that connects the Gods and the people. All we need to do is connect the link between the two Then why use a bead? A wishing bead out of everything? Then, isnt it the bead and not the God that is taking the prayers of the villagers?

Seol Young nodded his head.

You are right.

It would be great if everyone listened to me as you did. I went around the village and held everyones hands, but they all laughed at me. They thought I did that because I was envious of Sabiso.

Jung Myung let out a sigh.

In the end, they continued with the ritual, and yesterday was the sixth day. I get anxious with each day, and last night I had this vivid dream.

What kind?

I do not have a perfect recollection of it It was a dream in which a terrible disaster came upon us. I dont know what it was, but everyone will suffer terribly. I couldnt do anything and woke up in tears.

Her eyes were red again.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I had this scary thought. Prevent the disaster that is about to come at any cost, and stop the ritual. It was as if someone had ordered that in my head. However, with my strength and power, I couldnt stop them.

So the wishing bead of Sabiso?

Yes. Thats how it happened.

She said that, and Seol Young looked at her.

But you cannot steal it.

Sorry. I really am sorry.

She couldnt raise her head.

No. I didnt mean that.

Zaha lifted the girl up.

What this man is saying is that a good shaman like you shouldnt get your hands dirty. You are different from the fake Sabiso, so why bother?

Seol Young turned to Sabiso.

Okay.

The ghost soldiers attacked again, and Seol Young swung his sword to knock down five to six of them.

He has dealt with a lot of them in the past, so he was used to how they moved. He couldnt use his spiritual power, talismans, or summoning spells, but he was able to read their movements beforehand.

In the meantime, Zaha attacked Sabiso.

Come on!

Sabiso swung his long blade and counterattacked. The blue blade gleamed, and its red tassel fluttered wildly.

His sword skills were quite good, which meant he must have learned the sword from somewhere, but even so, he couldnt be Zahas opponent.

Sabiso had been performing such a splendid sword dance, but when Zaha fought him seriously, his defeat was revealed after a few clashes.

Shiiing!

Sabisos longsword was pushed back, and the back of its blade was touching his forehead. His posture gave way, revealing a loophole in his right leg.

Zaha kicked that leg and knocked him down. Before he could even pick himself up, Zahas sword went for his head.

The villagers screamed.

Mr. Sabiso!

In an instant, Sabisos eyes flashed. His eyes seemed to have an eerie glow.

You

He was angry and dodged the sword as he screamed at Zaha.

Now that I see it, you are someone who should have disappeared a long time ago!

The moment he pulled his hand out, something flashed, and black smoke rose.

Are you trying to run away?

Zaha stabbed the sword right in the middle of the smoke.

Then he went stiff. For an instant, his eyes were fixed on the black smoke.

Seol Young was puzzled.

What is it?

He opened his eyes wide and looked through the smoke.

A shape loomed, and a voice could be heard from inside.

[Will you kill me again?]

[Are you going to kill us with that sword again?]

It was the voice of many men and women of all ages. They seemed to be weeping, full of resentment.

Seol Young was surprised.

What was that sound?

All he had to do was subdue the guy and cut him down, but now Zaha was giving him the chance to kill him, and Sabiso wasnt going to miss that.

You!

A sharp blade protruded from the black smoke, and a red tassel was attached to it.

?

Zaha moved and avoided it, but it was too late. The dagger that came through the smoke struck him on the shoulder.

Die!

Sabiso yelled.

A powerful energy rose from his hand, then an aura like a bright red snake hit Zahas body.

And Zaha fell to the ground right away.

Jung Myung screamed,

Mr. Spirit!
