Return (1)
how much did you play
When Aiden returned from the strength of the neighborhood kids, the dormitory was crowded. For some reason, Ar Well, her fortune teller, wandered around diligently, and Noah Park, who had gone to training, returned to her room.
“Uh, what’s going on?”
Aiden asked, bewildered, seeing the hurried packing of his belongings. Park Noah did not even pay attention to the voice and moved her hand busily.
“Come here, Ellen. You must leave now.”
Aiden responded with a bewildered expression.
“You’re leaving. So suddenly?”
“yes. Jihan fell down.”
“···yes?! what it is.”
When Noah Park stood up and pointed to one side, Aiden was startled and hurried into the room. Inside, I could see Seo Ji-han leaning against the wall and gazing.
His complexion was pale, but his nosebleeds were still flowing and he couldn’t lay him down.
Aiden squatted next to him.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
“This is the Nether Zone. Perhaps it has reached its limit.”
“Oh, tell me if you are sick. stupid···.”
Saying that, Aiden felt pathetic for not asking questions. We are aware that this is a Nether affected by erosion. However, if it was Seo Ji-han, of course, I assumed that there would be no problem with this.
While Aiden wiped the nosebleed with her sleeve, Noah Park finished everything.
“Ellen. Do you have anything else to take care of? I’ve even narrowed it down to yours.”
When I turned around, I saw a light suitcase lying on the bed. Aiden looked at it and nodded his head.
“Ah, thank you. When I first came here, I came empty-handed, so I don’t have anything to bring.”
Then Arwell poked his head into the room.
“Are you ready? Drakhan is here now.”
Behind Arwell stood Drakhan, who had already prepared himself. Riel Arwell, who had transformed into a sword, was visible on the waist. It seems that he is planning to escort him out of town.
“Are you ready? Then this guy…”
As Drakhan’s gaze turned to Seo Ji-han, Park Noah intervened.
“I will carry it.”
“… well, whatever you want.”
As Drakhan turned around, Noah Park approached Seo Ji-han, who had lost consciousness. Since her body is droopy, the strength required to lift it is doubled, but there was no problem with Noah Park’s muscular strength.
Noah Park stood up carrying Seo Ji-han. Aiden began to glance at him. Park Noah, who felt the gaze, smiled involuntarily.
“Even so, you are an enemy. It’s okay for me to carry it.”
“It’s not like that, so don’t worry.”
“Hmmm. Who says what? I’m good at catching it so it doesn’t fall off.”
Noah Park moved first, and Arwell and Aiden came out of the dormitory with Seo Ji-han’s luggage as well.
The red moon was slowly rising. My vision became brighter and it seemed that it would be easier to move outside.
Suddenly remembering something, Aiden made a sound and stopped walking. Arwell looked back at the sound.
“Aiden. Why?”
There were only a few people walking on the street, and no children were seen. Arwell, who soon noticed why Aiden was doing this, smiled kindly.
“If that’s the case for greetings, I think it’s okay to go now.”
Despite Arwell’s suggestion, Aiden shook his head and looked at Seo Ji-han, who was on Noah Park’s back.
“People are dangerous, so what is the importance of greetings?”
“Ugh. Then why don’t we see you next time?”
“Fufu. Will you ever come back here? It doesn’t matter, so I’ll just go.”
Aiden glanced at the back and walked towards the entrance of the village.
‘Sister….’
At least I wanted to say hello to that little boy.
The Nether’s notoriety is not only due to erosion, but simply because of the amount of monsters and their strength.
Whether they stay in the Nether for a long time, the monsters that respawn there are always in a mutated state. And depending on the degree of mutation, the strength varies greatly.
In particular, there were many cases where mutations occurred in the corpse and revived.
Since there are so many variables, it was usually decided that at least 10 heroes should accompany to go to the Nether…
“It’s quite a lot.”
Such common sense is meaningless in front of an untitled.
Puhak! When Drakhan pulled out Riel, the black blood of the monster was dripping down. They had flocked from somewhere, and there were also beasts that were likely to inhabit other places.
“Are you hurt?”
In such a battle, Noah Park and his party kept some distance. Paradoxically, he could not defend himself because he was protected by Drakhan.
Noah Park had no choice but to carry Seo Ji-han, Arwell had no skills in human form, and Aiden had magic sealed.
Still, looking at the scene now, there was no need to worry about danger.
The screams cease, and the sound of something breaking is heard one after another. It was because the body of the beast was torn in half with each blow.
In the meantime, Noah Park stared intently in order not to miss a single move of Drakhan. footsteps, arm movements. shoulders and eyes.
When he reached the front of the skinny old tree, Drakhan stopped moving. An already injured monster entered Drakan’s field of vision. On the back of the monster was a dark blue magic sword.
‘You ran away from danger here.’
It must have been related to the presence of monsters living in other habitats.
“Um, maybe.”
The other guys didn’t see it. said Drakhan, who began to look around.
“I think we should break up at this point.”
This is a blank slate. Breaking up in a place like this meant that I was going to let it die. But no one was upset.
This is because Drakhan had already assumed that this might be the case.
“Thank you for escorting me.”
Aiden said in a calm tone. At that attitude, Drakhan put on an uninteresting expression.
“Hmmm…. Aren’t you going to ask for directions? Aren’t you going to leave it?”
“no. I think it’s already more of a favor than necessary.
“haha. And his expression is full of tension.”
I wanted to object, but you are right. Even if you have already predicted it, it is not without problems when it comes to reality.
“Don’t worry. Because I don’t need to tell you. Hey, junior.”
With a bitter smile, Drakhan looked at Noah Park and turned to Arwell, who was standing next to him.
“Get along with your partner. And tell that uplifted friend that I hope to see you again next time.”
“…I was taken care of.”
Drakhan grinned at the hard greeting and began to move. But it doesn’t go towards the village. Perhaps it was clear that he was heading towards the gate and the wizard we talked about in the morning.
“I went.”
Noah Park sighed in the direction in which Drakhan disappeared quickly.
“By the way, I don’t need to tell you in such a vast sea…”
“Isn’t that a safe zone nearby?”
“I don’t think it’s because it’s still within the Nether’s range. What, Jihan?”
At that time, there was a slight movement behind Noah Park’s back. Seo Ji-han, who opened his eyes, muttered.
“Noah. Drop me off for a second.”
As Noah Park carefully put it down, I staggered and sat leaning against an old tree.
dizzy. It’s over the limit, so it’s coming like this.
Aiden said with a worried face, but I can’t say it’s okay even with empty words. I smiled weakly and held out my hand to Noah Park.
“Some ego sword.”
“Ah, yes.”
When I grabbed the ego sword that Noah Park gave me, the guy’s voice came in.
[Are you okay? Seo-han.]
“no···. Rather, bring out some of the divine power in my body.”
I was convinced that my body would not be able to withstand it until I left the Nether like this, so I had to take action in advance.
It was the lowest rank, but since I linked it with the Holy Sword in the past, I had a stat called Holy Power. If you use this, you will somehow get better from the current state.
Whoa! As the ego sword trembled, I felt something in my body being stimulated.
[Seo Seo-han. Since it is such a small amount, this is the limit.]
Ego Sword said in an apologetic tone, but this is enough. Because in the first place, the purpose was to feel the power of the divine power.
‘Let’s use that sense.’
The trick to controlling the mana realized with the help of Drakhan. There was no law against applying it to the divine power. I concentrated on my body and poured my consciousness into the source stimulated by the ego sword.
[Special. 40 – The effect of ‘The One Who Sees the Light’ is activated.]
[Amplification of all characteristics of the divine power series, increase in the favorability of those involved, and halo]
did it happen
As the new perks were activated, it was felt that the regular perks [Black and White] were also being used more and more. Thanks to the help of the privilege, I was able to draw out the divine power so skillfully that it was unbelievable that it was the first power I used.
Arwell felt the change and cried. The burning embers of divine power began to burn over my hand.
Whoa! The light began to push away the erosion that stayed on the floor little by little. As they escaped the effects of the erosion even a little, they could see that the faces of the other guys became a little more relaxed.
Aiden asked, gently touching my divine power.
“Mr. Jihan. How the hell did you use your divine power?”
It wasn’t surprising, it was a question full of pure curiosity. Aren’t you so upset now?
“Because I used the Holy Sword in the past, my mana has a white attribute. It’s the first time I’ve tried something like this.”
“That’s fortunate. Will this make you any better?”
“yes. So, by any chance, does anyone know how to use [Jeonghwa]?”
“No.”
Of course, no one Come to think of it, I haven’t learned any divine-related traits either.
‘It’s ruined.’
This light saved me a bit from the effects of erosion, but I had to seek treatment to get better. Even if there is a resource called divine power, it cannot be used.
Juruk.
The nosebleed, which had stopped for some reason, started flowing again. Seeing this, Noah Park hurriedly pushed her back.
“Up. Let’s move quickly.”
“···sorry.”
Still, it somehow helped, so he moved with the help of Aiden while maintaining his divine power.
[Seo Seo-han. Someone is coming.]
The Ego Sword told me if it felt the presence of something. At that moment, I could see a crowd over the horizon in my eyes.
‘crazy. Enemy?’
By concentrating mana in the field of vision, he enlarged the distant landscape. Someone standing in front of the crowd was holding a rider. The mark engraved on the flag is familiar.
I wondered if I was seeing hallucinations.
[This is…, Astiel’s divine power.]
I was sure of the words of the Ego Sword.
“Kids, it’s Yoosung Academy. The support team is coming…!”
“yes? really?”
“under. Was this what Drakhan said…”
Thanks to the light of divine power, the speed of approaching was gradually increasing as if he had discovered this place. The leader who had escaped from the group was running towards this side.
There were monsters running around, but when someone swung their hand, they couldn’t even approach it and went far away.
‘Oh Yoon-ha.’
It was easy to see who was following him. Astiel Grand in a short nunnery was running and running.
[Oh oh!!!!!!!!!! Astiel!!!]
I threw the ego sword on the floor and sat down. Before long, the leader, who was approaching at a fast pace, arrived.
Oh Yun-ha said with a worried expression, brushing her messy hair.
“Are you guys okay?!”
“As you can see, I’m fine…”
In Oh Youn-ha’s hand, she was holding a compass engraved with a black hawk. A wayfinding tool in the Nether? It must have been less than a week since they searched, but seeing that they came this way, it was clear that it was.
“Is there no one nearby?”
“Wait. treatment before that.”
For some reason, when Oh Yun-ha looked around with a watchful eye, Aiden’s hand went up on my shoulder. I suddenly wanted to come here, but suddenly Astiel arrived in front of me.
“President. Please recover from Jihan.”
“uh? uh.”
Astiel, visibly embarrassed, nodded as Aiden spoke. It was clear that he had not yet reconciled.
Oh Yun-ha also looked around and took food from her arms and handed it to us.
“First, supplement the calories. You’ve been living in the Nether for almost a week, aren’t you hungry?”
“Oh, I’m hungry.”
Noah Park answered it skillfully and received it.
Fortunately, I did not receive such a misunderstanding that I lived in a village. That’s probably because everyone was sulking. Even after the battle of Drakan, it looked like it had been stained with dirty things.
I was drenched in blood, not to mention.
“Jihan-ah. Lay here.”
Astiel knelt down and pointed over it. Are you suddenly on your knees? I asked, pointing to my face.
“yes? I have coffee.”
“It doesn’t matter, so hurry up.”
…and my hair is dirty.
Hesitating, Astiel raised his hand and forced my head to lie down. Whoa! Then, as soon as he put his hand on his forehead, a bright but not dazzling light began to appear. I felt my condition improving rapidly.
‘Is this the next saint candidate…?’
Astiel exclaimed in a calm tone.
“Still, you survived. thank god.”
Astiel seemed relieved that my condition was getting better.
As I was doing this, a good idea came to my mind. If I could heal myself in the future, I wouldn’t be in a situation like this.
“President. I have a request.”
“Teach me how to handle the divine power…”
Then the light stopped.
When the healing stopped suddenly, my head started spinning and my consciousness gradually faded. Did something happen?
Astiel’s voice hardened, as if my ominous premonition was true.
And the words that followed were unexpected.
“Are you saying you’re finally going to join our temple?”
I couldn’t answer right away.
This is because, along with Astiel’s eyes full of anticipation, there was an enemy staring fiercely at her from above.
“Uh. Jihan-ah?!”
“Mr. Jihan?!”
…I decided to just pretend I was unconscious and close my eyes.
