I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

—… sick… … Head… .

An arm-like shape rose from the shape of the ghost.

-you… human… this is… .

“What are you human? Are you angry when you see me?”

Philip asked, looking straight at the ghost. Privia blinked at that action.

‘Are you trying to awaken your ego? What do you think?’

The spiritual body in front of me was still just a soul with a grudge. However, it was clear that if Philip could awaken his spirit self in that way, he would transform into a demon of great power.

‘Elseus? It’s a name I know. It was quite famous a thousand years ago.’

As a high elf who inherited an ancient lineage among elves, he was also an aura master and a contractor of the spirit king, a hero among heroes.

It was a famous name for elves who had lived for a long time, but it was a forgotten name for humans because it had been there for more than tens of generations.

He died in battle with the demonic dragon Negev, who was also the grand duke of the Pandemonium at the time, and that was all the information Privia knew.

‘But on what basis does he conclude that the ghost is Elseus?’

It was something that even her brilliant brain couldn’t judge. Even if they could have known the existence of Elseus, connecting it with it was a completely different matter.

A smile was drawn on Privia’s lips. She liked this about Philip.

Originally, after living in the same land for thousands of years, pretty much everything could be predicted as easily as reading the palm of your hand.

At present, Philip was the only one who could escape her predictions that way.

‘What are you trying to do? I’m dying of curiosity.’

And Philip did not betray her expectations this time either.

“Your name is Elseus. A noble half-elf, an aura master, and contractor of the Wind Spirit King. He was betrayed and killed by his allies in a battle with the Negev a thousand years ago.”

-eww… ugh… Head… My head hurts… I am… okay… There… like that… .

Upon hearing the information Philip had laid out, the immortal spirit wriggled as if it would change into something.

Johnny, who was hiding behind Philip, looked at him and thought.

‘That’s… Is it right?’

Dark dark clouds gathered in the bright night sky in its own way, and thunder roared loudly.

In a situation where it seemed like something serious had happened to anyone, Johnnys suddenly looked at Lua and Rizriel.

Rizriel was even observing the situation with a faint smile on her face. I was amazed at how relaxed he was.

However, Lizriel’s intentions were obvious.

‘Why did I say I was coming here?’

Remaining in the elven village only pricked my conscience a little. The sudden increase in the scale of the event was such that her astute brain stopped momentarily.

Meanwhile, Lua, as always, quietly watched what Philip was doing. Because Philip told me to do it.

-I am… .

Soon, the form of the ghost changed. It was compressed as if it were shrinking, and it soon took on a human shape.

Pointed ears and long, neat hair proved that he was clearly an elf in life. Only an unclean mist and a faint spiritual substance enveloped him, revealing that he had been completely transformed into an evil spirit.

-I am… okay. Elseus… He is the guardian of the elves… were royalty A fool who was betrayed and died… .

He clutched his head as if experiencing a severe headache, dropped to his knees, and then rose to his feet. Philip didn’t do anything until he got up and looked at him, then spoke.

“Are you coming to your senses? Elseus?”

Elseus glared at Philip with a cold gaze.

―Thanks to that, it is very clear. human. It felt like I had been wandering in vague hatred for a long time, but seeing all the things I had to kill and get rid of in front of my eyes, it seemed like I was alive until yesterday.

“Killing, who are you talking about?”

When Philip asked, Elseus silently raised his finger and pointed at the entire party.

– You’re asking something obvious. Speaking of you wormy humans… … hmm?

The fingers that had been moving without hesitation stopped in front of Privia. He continued with an expression as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.

At that moment, Pribia hurriedly raised her hand to make sure that Elseus’ chlorine was not heard by Philip and the rest of the party except for her.

―Why are dragons with humans? Did you decide to keep those nasty worms at bay again?

Pribia looked at Philip without answering his words.

“What are you planning to do? This guy is pretty dangerous. Since he was a contractor of the King of Spirits in his previous life, he can use that affinity to corrupt the spirits. It would be better to destroy it right here and now. It might get a little tough as time goes by.”

Philip shook his head.

“I’m fine right now.”

-That tone, that voice. You must be the wise silver dragon, Freevia. There is a favor I received from you on the battlefield, but as long as you protect humans, you can be called my enemy.

Privia did not care about Elseus’ hostility.

From noble mtl dot com

“What are you babbling about? The dead do not speak. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? The one who was once called the Twelve Stars of the Continent has become something like an evil spirit… tsk tsk”

If he had been him in his lifetime, even a dragon would have struggled a little, but he did not have the troublesome wind spirit king.

‘… that person He must have been really nice in his lifetime.’

Ordinary evil spirits would never have spoken like that. As soon as he saw the entity that provoked his rage, he immediately tried to kill it with all his might.

If he had the personality to speak first even after becoming a demon, he would have been a really good and kind person in his lifetime.

‘If you think about it, he was pretty gentle even after becoming the Grand Duke of Pandemonium.’

If a fellow character was completely killed by another grand duke, it was standard for the body to be torn into many parts, and it was bound to die in all sorts of terrible ways.

However, Elseus used to pierce the heart neatly with his favorite sword, the ‘Rapier of Reversal’. He didn’t display his corpse anywhere, and he didn’t humiliate his fellow characters for holding their necks when they tried again.

There was even a grand duke who made a pair of chimeras out of the corpses of the main character’s co-workers and did all sorts of obscene things in front of the main character’s eyes.

However, after a few words from Pribia, he easily lost his composure.

-What do you know? Me and my brothers and sisters died in disgusting betrayal. And to those vulgar and deserving of extinction!

When Elseus, angry to the end, raised his hand, several fallen spirits were summoned.

‘They said that some spirits went missing, so it turned out like this here.’

Corrupted spirits can’t deal with natural forces like normal spirits, but they play a role in amplifying the power of evil spirits. Philip turned his head to Lizriel.

“Take the kids and go back to where Kasler-nim and Cynthia-nim are. I’ll fix it soon and go back.”

“… yes? Me?”

“Then who else is here besides you?”

“no… that… can this be like this? I get it anyway.”

Rizriel could not adapt to this strange atmosphere that was neither a combat situation nor a safe situation. It seemed like something was very dangerous, but Philip and Pribia didn’t look that urgent.

Lizriel studied the expressions of Janice and Lua, and soon realized that they felt the same way as she did.

‘… Aren’t I strange?’

“Don’t disturb them, let’s go. Guys. huh?”

Johnny was worried about Philip and tried to refuse him, but when he saw Philip with a stern expression on his face as if he was asking what he was doing, he hurriedly moved.

“Daddy, hurry up. sister.”

―Who wants to go?

Elseus moved the fallen spirits to block Rizriel’s path. As the spirits imbued with the power of a strong curse were about to attack the children, Privia opened her mouth.

“It’s on my own. If you don’t want to be destroyed here, stay calm. It’s enough to die in vain once, wouldn’t it be more unfair to die twice?”

Elseus had to watch the sight of the three humans disappearing into the distance with a grievous look on his face.

* * *

“so. Why did a guy like you become a ghost? I never heard of you being betrayed.”

Freevia, unable to overcome her curiosity, asked the question first.

—… Am I so forgotten? In the battle against the dragon Negev, my brothers and sisters and I fought to the death. The spirits, who had been like family since childhood, were prepared to perish to protect us, and we also fought with the intention of dying on the spot.

When Elseus answered, Privia beat her chest in frustration.

“That is something I know. So you’re not asking who betrayed you? This guy seems to have a weird head, but wouldn’t it be better to just annihilate it?”

The last question was directed to Philip. Philip shook his head again.

Soon, Elseus spoke the name of the culprit who had betrayed him in an angry voice.

―The Great Sage Areola. The dragon’s weakness he told me was a blatant lie. There was no such thing as rebellion against her.

Freevia tilted her head.

“Reverse? Do the dragons have anything like that?”

―That disgusting bastard said there was an upside-down scale between the dragon’s heart and neck. To reach the scales, two hundred and twelve elves and five high elves disappeared without leaving a body, and my sister also gave her life. After a terrible sacrifice, I was able to reach the scale, but the woman did not even budge.

“Is that all?”

When Philip asked, Elseus nodded with an annoyed expression. He seemed uncomfortable with the human Philip talking to him.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Freevia, I would have jumped on it long ago.

Privia snorted and bruised Elseus.

“Hmph, I don’t know what kind of nonsense that Areola was talking about. It’s your fault for believing such bullsh*t and putting your people down. Why are you talking nonsense about killing people because you have a grudge against such a subject?”

“No, a little… .”

Philip wanted to hit Privia on the lips with the palm of his hand if he could. I wondered how in the world such hateful words could come out of those pretty lips.

Elseus was on the verge of losing his eyesight.

—… Even if I perish in this place… .

Before anything big happened, Philip stepped in first.

“No, wait a minute. That information is true. Elseus-nim is correct that you have heard the right information. The weak point of the evil dragon, Negev, is there.”

Elseus, who had become an evil spirit, could not just ignore the remark that touched the trauma of the past.

-How do you guys know that?

“How do you guys know that?”

Freevia also felt suspicious and asked a question.

‘Because I caught it five times.’

I wanted to answer, but I couldn’t. Philip began to explain by finding a nearby branch and drawing on the ground.

“As is well known, the evil dragon Negev is a dragon that was kidnapped while exploring the Pandemonium, unable to overcome his curiosity during his hatchling days. Originally, dragons don’t have a race called dragons, right? The reason for this is the Dragon Heart, a power source that generates almost infinite amounts of pure mana. Therefore, in order to corrupt the dragon born with the guardian’s karma, the power source itself must be contaminated… … .”

―You are talking nonsense, are you saying that you know more about the dragons than the great sage? More than Areola, who competed directly with her?

“… If you don’t know something, just shut up and listen. Does that insignificant human wizard named Areola know dragons better than I, a dragon? There is nothing wrong so far, so please be quiet.”

When Elseus, who had been listening to Philip, cut him off, Privia, who had been listening attentively, became irritated.

—… … .

Elseus immediately shut up. There was no way that there was no fear of extinction just because the soul was already dead.

At least the absolute one here was Freevia, so if she wasn’t going to risk her existence and fight, she had to listen.
