chapter 2: clash of souls

the art of forbidden alchemy originated from the sea of souls. during the full moon , souls are not allowed to be reincarnated. when two souls are reincarnating under the full lunar ,the celestial event will be uncertain as the moonlight gathers energy from the earth, and when two souls are reincarnating during this celestial moment of the moonlight, it could cause a clash , making the souls to merge. due to this coincidence, the two souls merged as one and reincarnated . lord kim min-soo, then used the last soul gem in kwaechugwan fortress to reincarnate the soul of kim Lao-Kong. after this, Lord kim min-soo gave an order to all the elite warriors in kwaechugwan fortress to search for anybody bearing a blue tattoo on any of their body part. when a soul gets reincarnated, a blue tattoo appears on the body part as a sign that the soul has been reincarnated. during the exercise of the elite warriors that lasted for a month , they discovered a young blind boy with a blue tattoo located at the left-hand side of his shoulder. this boy wore a tattered and ragged white blind fold with a ragged dress as he was an orphan, so he was brought to Lord kim min-soo, and Lord kim min-soo used his qi energy to sense his soul and could feel the raw energy that surrounded his soul which means that the soul was reincarnated. lord kim min-soo was so glad to see his reincarnated son, although his old self could see while his new body couldn't, the defect of the soul gem. kim Lao-Kong was locked 🔒 up in his room till he grew up. he stayed up in his room , drawing all day as he was a very talented artist 🎨. lord kim min-soo seeked the help of a known powerful mage that lived in the daeyuwon forest. the mage's name was yoon- soo. lord kim min-soo went to the damsol fortress with yoon-soo in order to remove the spell that was used in shielding it. ' Only a spellsman can cast spells , there is no spellsman to undo the spell been cast, and I am just a mage, so I know no spells. I haven't really seen or heard of a spellsman after fifty years, and it's quite rare to find one, "yoon-soo spoke. ' How strong is the qi energy '?? lord kim min-soo questioned curiously. 'Hmm, judging by the weight of the spell been cast, this Qi energy is immense. the spellsman who cast this spell is extremely powerful, never seen a spellsman with such power before. for now you'll have to stay away from the damsol fortress,' yoon-soo spoke. a body was lying at the bank of the water , so a fisherman carried the body back home. cho-wonhwa woke up a bit dizzy before she gained consciousness , so she met the fisherman outside. cho-wonhwa lived with the fisherman, and he was like a foster father to her. the senho village was attacked by a sorcerer , so kim park-so after getting the news, decided to rush to the senho village. at that same space of time, a myriad had escaped from the sea of souls , so kim su-yeon was to go an capture the myriad while kim hwa-young looks after the kwaechugwan fortress alongside lord kim min-soo. kim park-so stood face to face with the sorcerer as he gently unsheath his blade while his eye glowed ocean blue with his qi energy emitting like a blue aura of light. at the same time, the sorcerer unsheath his blade as a dark aura of energy emitted from his body and blade. sorcerers generally have corrupted qi due to the excessive use of sorcery (the art of reincarnating souls) and also lack control of their qi energy. his eyes turned pitch black with dark veins streaming out of his eyes, so he dashed at kim park-so. both kim park-so and the sorcerer clashed their blades with fierce strength and battle rage, then kim park-so began to form an energy core with his qi energy while the sorcerer did the same, so the sorcerer used his blade to flick the dark energy core at kim park-so as it moved like a dark stream of energy, so kim park-so used his energy core to block the dark stream but the clash of the two cores struck the both of them to the ground. kim park-so still stood up and rushed him , so before he could defend himself, kim park-so's blade had already cut through his stomach as blood gushed out of his mouth and stomach incessantly.with his last breath, he used the soul gem by absorbing its dark energy so his body faded away as his soul was getting reincarnated. kim su-yeon used his qi energy to sense the myriad. he could sense that the myriad was a shape shifter, so he rushed down, chasing the myriad as it took the form of a young woman holding an umbrella 🌂 . kim su-yeon reached a dry place, so his qi energy was still able to sense the negative energy of the myriad , so the myriad came out and revealed its true form as a dark grotesque creature with a skeletal body, having multiple body parts. this shape shifting myriad was the most terrifying myriad kim su-yeon had ever seen so kim su-yeon opened the miniature sacred do-ja-gi (a powerful artefact in the form of a Pottery jar 🏺 with the power to seal dark forces.) so the myriad got sucked up into the pottery jar artefact then kim su-yeon immediately closed it. kim su-yeon returned back with the artefact. 'So which myriad was it?? ' kim hwa-young asked curiously. 'it's an anoka, but I've never seen anyone as terrifying as it is.its like a hybrid anoka' kim su-yeon replied . kim su-yeon dropped back the miniature sacred do-ja-gi in the sinseoghan room, a restricted place in kwaechugwan fortress where powerful artefacts of the kim dynasty are stored.
