142 – Alchemy
Under a sky dyed with twilight.
I was going down with Kim Seo-hyun in the arms of the princess. I looked up at the sky. More than half of the huge seeds that covered the sky have already rotted away. A spectacle like ashes being scattered at dusk.
A strange feeling arose.
‘Did I roughly solve it with this?’
Of course, much remains to be done.
Starting with whether the king’s life and death were okay, the reason why he came to China was because something bad happened to Ara’s mother.
In addition, the relics were released outside as Suzaku played a game. Most of them were used as offerings to summon apostles, but the thought of retrieving them gave me a headache.
However, since the biggest problem, the apostle’s messing around, was solved, he took a breath.
‘Although I sent it back.’
The situation was more serious than expected.
It was because the environment was created where the devils could play more than I thought.
However, since he caused an accident to the extent that he briefly summoned an apostle for human sacrifice, even a demon would have to take care of himself for the time being. It’ll be fine for a while.
As I thought about that while looking at the seeds, I could feel the intense gaze in my eyes.
It was Seohyun Kim.
“what’s the matter?”
“We won, right?”
“We won.”
“Yes.”
Seohyun Kim said in a pleasant tone.
“At first I thought I was really dying.”
“Why are you dying?”
“… … Originally, they said it was better to be prepared when fighting demons.”
“It’s fine. Even if that really happens, I will save you even at the cost of my life.”
It’s best if that doesn’t happen.
If it happened, it really should have been.
I can’t guarantee revenge, but I believe that Seohyun Kim will be able to avenge me.
“… … .”
When I looked into Kim Seohyun’s face, my cheeks felt hot. The blush was reddish.
“Seoha.”
“yes?”
Seohyun Kim called me.
Seohyun Kim spread her arms and hugged my neck.
‘uh… … ?’
And with a clumsy kiss, she kissed me on the mouth.
The touch of soft lips.
what the hell is this situation
I looked at Seohyun Kim, thinking with a blank head.
Seohyun Kim looked down as if nothing had happened.
with a red blush.
***
[Accomplishments are being settled… … .]
[You have eliminated the Apostle normally. Rewards will be upgraded.]
[Invasion Quest Chapter. 1 completed perfectly. The reward is further upgraded.]
[The relationship with Kim Seo-hyun is established. Longing is said to be the furthest emotion from understanding, but it is also the feeling of wanting to understand someone the most. Rather than standing behind you and looking at your back, she would rather stand beside you and defeat enemies alongside you.]
[Admiration Lv 2. Seohyun Kim feels admiration for you.]
[All rewards have been settled. Win a total of 1,500,000p!]
[Special stat struggle rises by 5.]
[Concept stat inversion increases by 5.]
[Concept stat alchemy increases by 5.]
[Acquire the tree branch that the Apostle crawling in the darkest place was holding.]
‘It’s amazing.’
First of all, the amount of points was staggering.
Additionally, the amount of concept stats that went up was quite high, and the fact that the apostle was holding a tree branch was also great.
‘It’s an object containing the power of death.’
Death cannot be said to be an efficient ability because the amount required increases rapidly as the level rises.
Although the story would be very different if mass killings of low-class people were involved.
‘I’ll have to ask the vice principal.’
If you are a sympathizer, I will help you. The principal’s star is being repaired, so when that’s over, ask for help.
‘Gives me an enchantment as well.’
I checked the points.
[3,057,057p]
… … I really collected a lot of it. It wouldn’t be strange to get proper s-rank talent or skill. Or, it is possible to raise the level of a swordsman that has been used well so far.
‘First of all, I’ll have to think about this later.’
When we came down to the ground, Ara Kim came to us.
“… … what happened?”
With eyes as if seeing something suspicious.
‘Can’t you see it?’
The moment when Seohyun Kim and I kissed each other. It may have been reflexively covered with black wings, so I couldn’t see it.
But there was guilt. I know that Ara Kim likes me.
‘Somehow it reminds me of my previous life.’
I’ve seen similar scenes a few times in my past life.
“Come to think of it, what about the king?”
“… … Papa is in a cave.”
Ara Kim said with a darkened complexion.
“You sent us outside to fight the one you called a fairy, so you’re probably still fighting.”
“It will be fine. Because the apostle took care of it first. If there’s only one opponent, there’s no way the king can lose.”
“right?”
Kim Ara looked at me with slightly wet eyes.
Kwaaang—!!
The tremendous power in the cave was condensed like an explosion, and the king came out through the stomach while making a huge hole.
‘You can’t appear normally.’
The king looked at the sky for a moment and then turned his eyes to me.
“I’m glad you’re alive.”
“Did you know I was going to die?”
“Nope. I thought you’d get hurt, but you didn’t even get a scratch.”
“No matter how great that fairy’s notoriety is, she can’t reach my prestige.”
The king said so and threw something on the ground.
It was a slender arm burning to ashes. Just by looking at it, I felt a terrifying demonic energy.
“I missed the fairy, but I was able to bring one arm.”
I look at the arm about to turn to ashes.
The regenerative power of demons is truly enormous, so they can restore moderate wounds as well as limb defects. However, when the king uses source power, the story changes. Maybe it will take a long time to recover.
‘At least 10 years.’
That arm must be unrecovered.
“By the way, did you defeat the apostle?”
“Nope.”
I don’t know how the king knew, but he asked me.
I answered by raising one corner of my mouth.
“I just sent it back because my consciousness was unstable. with me… … .”
As I was about to talk about Kim Seo-hyun, my face became hot.
And I was bewildered. When I was young, I wasn’t like this.
‘I must have suppressed it too much.’
I didn’t know your face would turn so red with just one kiss. Maybe it’s because my body has just returned to a healthy time.
“I did.”
When I couldn’t speak, Seohyun Kim stepped out.
“Hmm… … .”
The king looked at me and Kim Seo-hyun for a moment, then tapped my shoulder and spoke so that only I could hear.
-Fortunately, I’m not a eunuch. That’s it now.
… … Who is the eunuch, really.
*
Kim Ara’s mother’s work was not a big deal.
I had a certain disease and urgently needed a potion, but who am I? It was the god of alchemy who gathered faith and became the god of alchemy.
“thank you.”
She politely bowed to me, who was still young, and expressed her gratitude.
“No, it’s Ara’s parents. And it’s not for free.”
“No, my wife is right. It should have been easy for you, but most of the famous guys couldn’t get this disease right. Do you want anything?”
“You want it?”
I was seriously thinking.
what you want If that’s what you want, it’s not there now.
As for the weapon, the black cloth is enough for now.
The newly opened ability while catching the apostle adds to my lack of strength, and the protector’s armor (S-), which is a defense tool, has good performance, and when I wear it, I give up because it feels like I’m wearing clothes rather than wearing armor. Hard to do. Talent also has a spiritual shield.
Accessories are wearing the right things, but I don’t feel lacking.
‘I don’t really need anything.’
Alchemy materials, which can be said to be my main job, are torches that the emperor can’t give away, so I ask them to take them all, and the materials given by the teachers in Jinrikyo are all top-notch items.
only The electronic witch also added a helping hand, so it was safe to say that there were very few things I could get on earth.
money? overflowing with tea
While solving alchemy properly, the electronic witch weaved this and that with a license, and the money that came out of it alone exceeded 100 billion won.
“… … I don’t have one.”
“Tsk. I know how much the Emperor loves you. It’s a legal opportunity to strip me off, but a guy who refuses to take it.”
The king muttered in an absurd tone.
I agree.
“Take it.”
The king threw something at me. As I reflexively snatched it up, I looked at him in amazement.
“I found it at a place where human sacrifices were being made. Even though it was contaminated by the outside energy… … Its essence is quite similar to your aura.”
“I guess so.”
I looked at the scabbard.
A fairly large amount of reverse stream was flowing in the ink-colored sword case.
‘If you remove the contamination, a lot will go away… … .’
I remembered the apostle’s twig. Come to think of it, the apostle’s power was quite strong.
‘what. Could this possibly happen?’
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck in my head.
For some reason, I had a strong feeling that it would work. However, I needed quite a lot of things to succeed, and I needed the help of sympathy, but I feel like a pretty fun thing would be completed if I succeeded.
But that wasn’t something I could do now.
“Are you going already? You can stay for a while.”
“I’ll take your heart. I have a lot to do now.”
Kim A-ra responded to the words mixed with sadness.
I returned to Korea after receiving thanks and gifts.
And.
“Truth! Please give me a chance to see the truth!”
It was time to get back to work.
