Water lily (2)
I clenched and opened my hands repeatedly. I am reliving the feeling that has just disappeared.
There was a shudder.
Whether to call it a sense of achievement, the extreme thrill stimulated my brain. It feels like you have achieved enlightenment and have broken a wall.
‘···I didn’t expect to experience this kind of feeling through a fantasy.’
It is similar to the feeling of moving from a stagnant skill to the next level when you are a pro gamer.
It must be proof of the conviction that you have grown up.
Recalling that sensation once again, he moved the mana of the water attribute this time. Whoa! The speed at which the mana moves to the tip of the finger has definitely increased. Eventually, the moisture leaked out, and the flow was interrupted by Drakhan’s personality.
In the end, I couldn’t help but laugh.
After experiencing this neat sense of mana transfer, I was able to realize how much I had been overusing my mana rod so far.
‘I was able to move so cleanly and quickly…’
It’s been moving inefficiently. It must have exploded and died later. I understand myself.
I turned my head to look at Drakhan. For some reason, he’s looking a little surprised. Maybe it was because I realized it sooner than I expected.
“Why don’t people know about something so simple…?”
In the end, the point is to feel the source of the mana attribute and consciously control it.
There’s no way wizards can’t do meditation like I just did, so I don’t understand why even Carol Aiden didn’t know the answer.
At my question, Drakhan pointed and said.
“I can’t help but not know. I can’t feel that feeling at all. Unless it’s like this.”
“Could I be able to feel because of your personality?”
uhm. Because it is the personality of Drakhan that cuts off the flow of mana, paradoxically, he can feel the senses from within. I’m not sure, but you can understand that this is another additional power.
“By the way, there are already wizards who move the source of the attribute in this way.”
“Yes? You don’t know this feeling?”
Drakhan shook his head.
“Those who are born with congenital traits are an exception. Taking the Aiden family as an example, the mana of the fire attribute is handled in this way. That is why the effectiveness of fire magic is stronger than that of other families.”
“Well, it’s limited to the mana of the fire attribute, though. Even if you try to use other attribute magic, the subject is fire attribute in the end.”
For reference, Ellen Aiden is a setting that does not have the fire attribute by nature. Since such a guy has awakened to blue flames at this point, he must have put in a lot more effort than the original.
“Then let’s do other things.”
The attribute to touch this time is ‘black’.
There is no erosion in my body, but it is an attribute that I acquired while using ‘Necromancer’.
‘If I can handle this, wouldn’t it be possible to manifest necromancy in a normal way?’
With such anticipation, I started to focus on my body. Whoa! Unlike before, black mana flowed out instead of blue. As darkness rose like a mist, it soon disappeared due to Drakhan’s personality.
“Ugh, Seo-Han. Don’t make it this far today.”
There are still properties left. As Drakhan turned, he stood up to follow him.
At that moment, the strength in his legs was released and he staggered.
I barely managed to balance and did not fall, but Riel, who was going to follow Drakhan, looked at me as if it was quite bustling.
“Didn’t you already fight before you met us?”
Wizards who wield space magic. And the gate was closed, and a battle was waged with the demons.
“So the fatigue you feel right now is probably normal. Isn’t it rather abnormal to be alive and well?”
Hearing those words, my body suddenly began to feel heavy. Were you still nervous? I don’t know if it’s the end of the adrenaline secretion or the recoil of the privilege, but once I was aware of my body fatigue, I started to feel it clearly.
“Come on, let’s go eat some rice.”
I reflexively tried to follow him and stopped walking.
Recalling that, Drakhan Beatrice is the final boss of the ‘Corrupted Hero’ scenario. In the end, the enemy But is this right?
“Hey, won’t you follow me?”
“I am going.”
At Riel’s urging, I stepped back on the foot that had stopped.
Aiden relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, calming his mind. The ‘black hand’ that shocked him. He left behind an afterimage of his memory of its existence, and he continued to inspire.
‘Ahat-nim must have done magic to this extent.’
I remember what we talked about even though I was crazy. Did I say that you can get out of this state by receiving a blessing? However, it was impossible for there to be a proper priest in this ‘nether’.
In the first place, there is no such thing as a temple.
‘I’ll have to overcome it myself somehow.’
I couldn’t get my ankles back in a place like this.
[-Wah ha ha ha!]
“Mr. Lee.”
Aiden woke up suddenly to the noise from outside. Then he approached the window and carefully looked out at the noisy place.
What came into view was a scene where Noah Park was playing with the children.
“I am.”
Aiden was at a loss for words when he saw it.
He said he was going to look at Dongtae, what was he doing? Aside from that, he’s quite talented when he sees that he’s made friends with the local kids in this short period of time.
‘Well···?’
Suddenly, Aiden felt a return to her original senses.
When I built a magic trick just in case, I succeeded in lighting a flame on my finger as intended. He can use magic. It’s clearly out of Drakhan’s range.
‘What does that person believe in?’
If you use magic here, you know you won’t be able to stop it. do you trust Or is it okay to leave it alone?
While Aiden was trying to guess what he was going through, Arwell sneaked up to him.
At Arwell’s question, Aiden pointed to the outside of the window.
“Your master is having fun.”
“Well···. So, I think it’s okay for us to put our minds to rest. It means you don’t have boundaries.”
is that so Aiden asked Arwell who was standing next to him.
“…so you’re really not going to tell me?”
“I think this is the first time Aiden has said this to me.”
“Hmmmm.”
I didn’t know anything else, but once I got stuck on something I was curious about, I couldn’t stand it. Aiden was also aware of his embarrassment.
“Aiden. Do you know how a weapon man grows up?”
“no. Few people know.”
The race known as the Armed Man is widely known, but the story behind it is, paradoxically, a secret. The only thing that can come closest is untitled. But even the untitled cannot reach the source.
“It grows in a similar way to fraternity.”
“Do you eat iron?”
“yes? no. It’s not even made of iron in the first place.”
As proof of that, Arwell pinched his cheeks and stretched them, and with the index fingers of both hands extended, they bumped into each other as if they were overlapping each other.
It was a description when the swords touched each other.
“The one who wins grows while fighting each other against each other. It is a ritual also called ‘smelting’.”
“Then what about Jin?”
“It breaks.”
Aiden, who had been organizing his thoughts for a moment, looked at Arwell with wide eyes. He nodded his head calmly, indicating that the meaning is correct.
“yes. It means dying.”
“Then that person was staring at you earlier…”
“It probably wasn’t meant to be that way. But the problem is that there is no one between him and me.”
“Are you saying that he already broke the other weapon men?”
“yes. It is said that he has undergone a ‘refining’ ritual that he has never experienced before, so he has become stronger.”
“If Noah-sama has the power and fights, I think I will die.”
When he spoke those words calmly, Aiden couldn’t help but put on a slightly bewildered expression.
I can’t see the childlike figure I always saw in Arwell. I thought maybe this might be the original look.
“Hmmmm. .
Aiden coughed and tried to comfort him, but Arwell shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Aren’t we going to fight after all? Corrupted heroes are our enemies.”
It was an irrefutable statement.
Bump! Then the door opened to see who was listening.
Aiden and Arwell looked back in surprise, but they were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
“You guys aren’t hungry…, billion?!”
Seo-han opened the door.
Instead of answering, Seo Ji-han was hit with a pillow that flew over his head.
The table was filled with uncomfortable silence, and there was no sound other than the occasional clatter of dishes. I’d rather have this inconvenience. Trying to force a conversation is more awkward.
As the meal was coming to an end, Drakhan opened his mouth.
“So when are you guys going to go back?”
“Are you sending me?”
“When did I force you to bring me?”
Well. That’s right.
“But where do you get drinking water and food from the Nether? In the end, certain food and water would be essential for the village to operate.”
Aiden, who had not touched most of the food, asked if it didn’t taste right. Drakhan answered by placing the tableware on the empty bowl.
“I’m curious about something like that because I’m not a magician. All materials undergo ‘purification’ in the village.”
“Uh. You mean divine power?”
“no. It is not a purification that feels like that, but a purification that literally removes pollutants. So it’s magic. Whether it is polluted water or eroded monsters, it can be used as food. It doesn’t taste as good as it is now.”
···what.
‘So the water I drank now was contaminated, and the meat I swallowed is a monster, right?’
I thought for a bit that it might be the case, but it really makes my stomach churn.
“Who installed such advanced magic?”
“Some wizard installed it some time ago.”
And then he glances at me. It means that Seo Ji-han’s parents installed it. They don’t seem to care about talking about their parents in front of others. It didn’t matter what I did.
“So, what is the answer to my previous question?”
I thought for a moment and answered.
“I want to go back quickly. I solved my problem.”
“I came here for battle. Because I didn’t want to come here in the first place.”
Next, his gaze went to Arwell, but Arwell looked at Noah Park. It meant that Noah Park’s doctor had the same will.
Park Noah, who was still holding the fork, felt his gaze and put down the spoon with a shy expression.
“ah. I’m still a little.”
an unexpected word. You don’t want to go back soon? Riel, who had been silent in response, asked.
“Ah, that’s because I just made friends with these kids.”
“Hey, Noah Park…”
“Ahaha. I’m sorry, Ellen.”
Park Noah rubbed the nape of her neck with an embarrassed face.
Not sure if it really mattered, Aiden just shook his head, and Arwell quietly looked away.
Drakhan added lightly to Noah Park’s doctor.
“If I could give you personal advice, it would be better to go back soon. You should also consider the movement of the academy. I also want to avoid situations that are difficult for me.”
“…it would be.”
After the uncomfortable meal, each dispersed to their rooms.
Drakhan and Riel went out to go to their dormitory. There was no surveillance station left, and we were the only outsiders left in this hostel.
After tidying up, Aiden and Arwell headed to the room, and finally Noah Park moved. I followed Noah Park and spoke to her before turning the doorknob.
“Noah. What is your purpose?”
At that question, Noah Park’s expression hardened slightly.
Are you saying you can’t go back soon because you’re so in love with the kids?
That’s nonsense. There are cases where I usually act like a child, so the other guys would have been convinced and moved on, but I’m not as familiar with Park Noah’s true face as I am.
‘The main character doesn’t do stupid things.’
Even if it does, it is because there is a purpose that suits it.
“I can’t even lie.”
Park Noah knew that she was going to be found out, so she smiled bitterly and then calmly confessed.
“Kids know a lot of secrets. And I like to unravel those secrets.”
For fear of being heard through the door, Noah Park muttered quietly.
“Whether Drakan is a good person or a bad person, it doesn’t change that he is our enemy in the end. So I thought it would be right to get as much information as possible about this town when we have no boundaries.”
“Don’t you think so too?”
“···You’re right.”
Noah Park laughed at my answer. And just before turning the doorknob, he said to me.
“It may be too late, so let’s go to a safe zone within a week. I think there will be no problems with it, as it seems to show the way. Get what you can get the most from here.”
“Then sleep well. I’ll see you tomorrow!”
I was alone in the hallway, staring at the closed door.
‘…I can’t return this now.’
So he made a decision and slowly raised his hand.
Whoa! faint gray tint. It was the divinity of Noah Park, who briefly absorbed in the tower.
