Daughter in Law?? (2)

Chapter 84 • 1,551 words • 13 min read

Although I soon understood why I was being called ‘daughter-in-law’, I was immediately dumbfounded.
‘Oh my god, a mere human is calling a Constellation his daughter-in-law!’
And with such an arrogant attitude!
“Daughter-in-law, it’s not bad to spread fake news, relying on your face. But shouldn’t you come to your father-in-law first?”
“…”
“And to say you’re a Constellation, you should lie in moderation. It seems you’re working so hard on this training to prove those words…”
The chairman glanced at the three of them.
His gaze lingered particularly on Yoon Yul.
“A puppeteer or a magic swordsman… especially with an F-rank curse-caster, what do you think you can do.”
Yoon Yul flinched and lowered his head.
My mood began to plummet.
Yeon Taeseon was about to take a step forward, but Daisy’s telekinesis magic pulled him back faster.
He whispered with a very displeased face.
“What’s wrong?”
“Seonibaek will handle it.”
When Seonibaek is in a bad mood, she crushes her opponent.
She wasn’t called the ‘White Magic Tower Head’ among the ill-tempered Magic Tower Heads for nothing.
“The daughter-in-law may not be a Constellation, but she must be a powerful hunter. What’s her grade? A? S?
The chairman said, feigning a gentle tone.
It was a posture that showed he was convinced I was not a Constellation, and a tone that informed me of the obvious fact that he was superior.
For the first time in a long time.
I felt a crack in my pride.
“…”
I wiped the expression from my face.
My Sun’s Eye activated a little more strongly, filling my eyes with a golden light.
I could see the chairman’s soul.
A pitch-black color.
A tar that made me feel like I was going to puke from disgust was flowing.
Then, even if this person is Sion’s father, I no longer need to go easy on him.
“Yoon Yul.”
“…Yes?”
“Watch carefully.”
Yoon Yul, who had flinched at my expressionless, golden-eyed face, stepped back.
I pulled this timid guy with my telekinesis, then,
I gathered the bodyguards in black suits who were standing in a group and kicked them out of the training hall.
“W-what?”
“Ugh!”
“Chairman-nim…!”
KWANG!
A dozen bodyguards disappeared beyond the thick door.
Immediately, a snow-white magic circle was engraved on the door.
Until I allow it, no one here can leave, and no one can enter.
“D-daughter-in-law! What is this? They are my bodyguards!”
“Silence.”
I used the Word of Power for the first time in a long time.
The chairman’s mouth opened.
But no sound came out.
The flustered chairman acted as if he were shouting and tried to go outside, but the magic circle engraved on the door did not budge.
Even the thumping sounds that had been coming from outside had stopped.
The magic circle I had engraved on the door was [Severance].
From now on, until I allow it, the other side of that door will be treated as [severed] into another world.
“Yul, watch carefully.”
“…!”
I pulled the chairman with my telekinesis.
The struggling chairman’s neck came into my grasp.
The dirty neck with its rough skin was held tightly, and his windpipe was blocked.
But not even a choking sound came from his throat.
Whether that was the case or not.
I began the lesson.
“I’ve been thinking about why you haven’t succeeded in curse magic until now.”
The power of curse magic varies greatly depending on how intense the feelings the caster has for the target.
Of course, the influence of the preparations can be great, but basically, it follows the caster’s ability.
Until now, Yoon Yul had tried to use curse magic on everything from small mice to harmless monsters.
But the most he had succeeded in was hair loss.
“It’s because you’re too kind.”
Curse-casters basically have dirty souls.
Because their desire to hate and harm their opponents is too strong.
But Yoon Yul, for a curse-caster, had a very clean soul.
It wasn’t that there were no specks, but it was just the soul of an ordinary person.
‘Then I should have taught him how to handle those specks.’
I should have taught him to have an eye to distinguish those who ‘deserve to die’.
And to teach Yoon Yul this, I will use the chairman as the first offering.
“Use curse magic.”
“Y-yes?”
“…!”
The chairman shouted something, but it was not heard at all.
The authority of a Constellation is absolute.
A mere ordinary person who hasn’t even awakened, even if they have items and so on, cannot block it.
I raised my fingertip and briefly placed it on Yoon Yul’s forehead.
And I briefly showed him the chairman’s soul that I was seeing.
“Ugh.”
“…”
“Ugh…”
Yoon Yul, who immediately gagged and staggered.
I forcibly superimposed Yoon Yul’s past on top of that.
If it weren’t for this person, you wouldn’t have felt bad.
If it weren’t for this guy, you would have woken up to a normal morning tomorrow.
If it weren’t for this person, you might not have entered the Crow Guild and worked as a s*ave.
A clear incident was extremely rare.
This was a type of curse magic, brainwashing.
It was temporary, but it would remain deeply in his soul.
There was no better way to train a curse-caster than this, but it was a method I hadn’t used because there was no suitable target.
But now that a target has appeared, there was nothing to hold me back.
The specks in Yoon Yul’s soul moved.
They moved and gathered in one place, then flocked to his fingertips.
“If it weren’t for you…”
The brainwashing magic will soon be released.
But the sensation of moving the specks of the soul will remain for a lifetime.
It should have been like this from the beginning.
“If it weren’t for…!”
A dark purple mana erupted from his fingertips.
Two magic circles appeared under the chairman’s feet.
Wait, I forgot the situation and was moved.
‘A layered magic circle…!’
A layered magic circle for the first curse magic used on a person!
A layered magic that various A-ranks and even low-rank S-ranks struggle to use!
Now!
‘You really have the makings of an S-rank, Yul!’
As I was soaked in emotion, Yoon Yul moved.
A little bit of bloody tears flowed, but since this was a chronic problem for curse-casters, I didn’t touch it.
And then, thump.
He slammed a staff that looked similar to a large nail on the floor.
Pasak.
With the sound of something breaking, the chairman’s neat, graying hair fell to the floor.
His bald head shone under the training hall’s lights.
No, it’s a little funny, though.
If you were to ask what magic Yoon Yul is best at, it would be the hair loss curse.
But to see it unfold before my eyes, a small laugh escaped.
“…!”
The chairman screamed a silent scream.
Looking at his head, it seemed he had paid a lot of attention to hair loss management, but that had become futile in an instant.
The two layered magic circles that had appeared on the floor were [Erase] and [Maintain].
The chairman was full of hair when he entered our guild, but he would be photographed by reporters with a smooth head when he left.
I let go of the chairman’s neck and also released the magic circle on the training hall’s door that was [severing] the outside.
Immediately, the door opened roughly and the bodyguards swarmed in.
“Chairman-nim… huk!”
“What on earth happened…”
They were stunned when they saw the hair on the floor, and I also released the Word of Power I had cast on the chairman.
“You bastards…!”
As soon as he was released, a curse erupted, and I tied up the chairman and the bodyguards like a gift set with my telekinesis and sent them out of the training hall again.
I heard the sound of them falling over and swearing, but what does it matter.
I approached Yoon Yul.
His eye color had returned to its usual blue.
“Do you remember that sensation just now?”
“Yes…”
Yoon Yul, who had been released from the short brainwashing, staggered, unable to escape the ecstatic and dreamlike sensation.
Since he had succeeded in what he couldn’t do even if he died, the sense of exhilaration must be no joke.
“I think I can cast a curse on anyone from now on. But my emotions are a bit of a rollercoaster…”
“That can’t be helped. You have to get used to it.”
It was a chronic problem for curse-casters, along with the bloody tears.
Starting with the success of casting a curse on a person, something that was impossible for an F-rank, Yoon Yul will gradually change.
Yoon Yul, not knowing what to do with his overwhelming emotions, hugged me tightly.
“Constellation-nim…!”
“…Yeah. But please calm down.”
“Thank you so much…!”
A sobbing voice was heard in my ear.
It was a little funny that he was so happy after ruining a person’s hair follicles, but since it was a big leap for a curse-caster, I could understand his feelings.
But my head briefly stopped at the action that followed.
Peck.
“…?”
Peck, peck, peck.
“…???”
Yoon Yul was randomly kissing my cheek.
For a moment, a silence fell in the training hall.
