Chapter 265: Water spirit (4)

After regaining its form, the spirit, now just slightly larger than a person, probably looked at me. Without eyes, I couldn't discern its expression.

"When I felt the third disturbance, a strong force outside tried to peek in here. It happened to be near where I was, and it seemed to have qualities similar to mine, so I investigated."

"Outside?"

"I possessed the ability to manipulate memories with mist and seemed to be searching for a caretaker. Probably you."

The King of Harmlessness. A jellyfish. If the ruler of this world is the King of Harmlessness, it's somewhat fortunate.

"Definitely outside? Not a presence of this world?"

"Yes. I knew this place was a constructed dungeon and it tried to enter me. Like how you entered Delta's body. But I was pushed out soon after, and I gained some of his power and information."

Normally, spirits couldn't use skills, making it nearly impossible to perform such tricks. Thus, attempting to manipulate my memories with mist was a skill of the jellyfish.

It's not just stealing memories; it can change them too. It's truly a dangerous ability.

"In the end, when the disc is fully installed, not only newcomers but also the King of Harmlessness can interfere, right?"

"I will give you it's remaining power. You may not be able to utilize it as I do, but you should be able to prevent the owner of this power from tampering with memories at least once."

A faint mist wrapped around my body and then disappeared.

"Not for Yerim?"

"Yerim has her pearl. But others should be cautious. Especially the contractors of the Fire Spirit..."

"Why again?"

Continuously risking Yoohyun made me increasingly irritated.

"It's not because of the attributes this time. It's because the owner of the mist has already taken some of his memories, making him more vulnerable."

"Even though he regained his memories?"

"As far as I know, not entirely. The owner of the mist still has some of his memories."

...The newcomer did warn us. They might have partially vanished. Yoohyun had some of the most memories stolen among those ensnared by the mist... Damn, that cursed jellyfish.

"Be careful."

Leaving the last words, the spirit's form blurred and faded. Yerim looked at me with concern.

"The memory loss wasn't fully resolved?"

"...I thought I had recovered them all, but apparently some remained. Still, it's not significant enough to worry about."

It might be trivial. But even if they're just small memories, I can't just leave them be. I told Yerim it's fine, but...

I'll never let my brother be taken again. Not even a tiny fraction, never.

"But about the spirit, the one contracted with me won't just blabber about my insides, right?"

"Well, it's hard to say. Irin was a bit... talkative. I don't know if that's really Yoohyun's intention."

Yerim's expression turned pale at my words.

"Even if she can't read your insides accurately, if she's always with you... Can teaching her before she grows too big help her discern what to say and what not to? These spirits here are too honest! What if she starts blabbering like earlier?"
