I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines chapter 117

Rescue Operation (Not) (2)

[Hey, everyone! Look over here! Please help me defeat this evil group that’s kidnapping a poor monster!]

“······You’re so noisy.”

[Kya!]

Mijung swung her club.

The fox’s scream echoed through the eerie forest.

“Gwiho. I need a favor.”

[Is that how you ask for a favor? First, tell this bloodsucker to stop hitting me on the head with her club!]

Gwiho growled and resisted as he was pinned to my side.

He had been trying to escape by biting my arm and kicking his legs, but Mijung kept hitting him on the head, so he had calmed down a lot.

It seemed like he had given up on escaping.

“If you stay still, she won’t hit you. More importantly, do you know where this is?”

[Isn’t this Sancheong Forest? It’s even more sinister than it was 100 years ago. The energy is flowing so strongly.]

“We’re going to teach you the spell formation technique as an attribute here.”

[What? Me? What do I get out of it?]

“I won’t tell anyone your true identity.”

[How is that a benefit? Isn’t that just a threat!]

Gwiho jumped up and down in anger, but when Mijung raised Blinny’s wooden club (Enhanced +1), he quickly backed down.

It seemed like the beast was weak to whips.

“And.”

[And?]

“You’ll be able to go outside freely like this.”

[What the······!]

Gwiho tried to protest my words, but then he closed his mouth.

Gwiho’s gaze turned to the side.

He took in the sunlight streaming through the gaps between the trees.

They said this forest was full of evil energy.

But at sunrise, it looked no different from any other forest, or rather, it was even more beautiful than any other forest.

Gwiho stood still for a moment, as if he were overwhelmed, until the sun had completely risen above the trees, and then he opened his mouth.

[It’s been so long since I’ve seen the sunrise······.]

“I’m sorry I broke your formation. I was actually just trying to absorb the magic from the formation. I didn’t know you wouldn’t be able to replenish that amount of magic.”

[No. No. I actually had a feeling. No matter how much I trained and focused on recovery within the formation, I wouldn’t be able to regain my former strength······. It’s only natural, given the wounds I suffered in the Jordan River. All this time, I’ve been living in a vague hope, unable to face reality, and I’ve been deceiving the entire North for hundreds of years······.]

Gwiho began to confess weakly.

Now, even if I put him down on the ground, he wouldn’t run away. He just sat there.

Not in his own space, which he had created by distorting the formation, but on the ground beneath the open blue sky.

Gwiho’s intuition was correct.

It was highly likely that he would never regain his former strength, no matter how much he remained trapped in the formation.

In fact, in the story, Gwiho was defeated by the final boss who appeared about a year from now.

If he remained trapped until then, he wouldn’t be of any significant help, so I decided it was better to pull him out now and use him.

[I’ve been foolish because of my stubbornness. Now that I’m out here, being led by someone else, I feel refreshed. Thank you. If I can repay you by teaching you the spell formation technique, I’ll teach you as much as you want!]

Gwiho turned around, crying out powerfully.

Whether he had made his own choice, his expression was no longer resentful, but filled with determination.

“Okay. Let’s get started.”

That’s good.

Then let’s get started.

Preparing to welcome Yerina······.

[Y, you! Is this really your first time using magic!]

“Yes?”

[I’ve never seen such a genius in my life! The formation technique is not an easy concept! A formation is a technique that activates a spell by infusing magic into space itself! It’s a completely different level of difficulty from techniques that use totems, amulets, or cursed dolls as mediums. You have to start by engraving magic into space, and it usually takes at least five years of training. How can a beginner like you do it all at once······!]

Gwiho exclaimed in amazement as he watched me draw the formation freely.

Is it that difficult?

I just swing the magic that’s flowing through my fingertips like a brush, and it draws whatever I want?

[Tell me the truth! Where and from whom did you learn this? If you’re from a shamanic sect, I know them all, so you’ll be caught if you lie!]

“I’m telling you, it’s my first time.”

[This is impossible! This is impossible, this is impossible! This is the first time I’ve been so excited! You’re the most talented child I’ve seen in over 2000 years! It’s as if you were born to be a shaman!]

“Excuse me······. Taesu-nim. I’m stuck right now, so could you please teach me-“[Be quiet! I don’t have time to waste on a bug monster like you when I have such a precious talent in front of me! Rather, come here! Sit down here and continue your training! From what I can see, this spot is where the dark energy gathers, making it the best place to replenish your magic and draw magic circles! Hurry!]

After scolding the fox girl who had raised her hand, Gwiho wagged his tail at me again.

I followed Gwiho, who was holding my sleeve and leading me, and sat on a rock to continue my training.

Then, in an instant, the magic from all directions surged into me, making it a little difficult to breathe, and I felt a surge of power in my fingertips.

‘Is this a talent that only appears once every 2000 years?’

Well, it was strange.

My swordsmanship talent was so-so.

My magic talent was also trash, as Alicia had admitted.

So I wondered where my talent lay.

It seemed to be in sorcery.

How could a person not have any talent at all?

That didn’t make sense.

‘I’m lucky.’

Most people would live their entire lives without knowing that they had a talent for sorcery.

However, thanks to knowing the information in this game and having repeated the regression, I was able to have my talent recognized by a former Grandmaster and learn sorcery magic circles.

That’s it.

I can see hope.

I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to grow any further after acquiring the Dakia-ryu secret technique.

But now it seems that I can improve my skills through sorcery.

Moreover, magic circles are the most minor and yet the highest-level magic among sorcerers.

If I master this, I will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the superhumans.

I will also be able to face the Four Heavenly Kings who come out with full doping in the latter half.

‘The rumor that a bunny girl who resembles the eldest daughter of Yevgenia has appeared has reached the south. I have four days before Yerina gets here. I have to master the magic circle within that time!’

With my talent, it should be possible.

I believed it firmly.

Three days passed.

[This is frustrating! How can you not have made any progress in three days! Make some progress! Make some progress!]

“Didn’t you say it was easy?”

[It is easy! If you can draw a magic circle, moving on to the next form is as easy as eating porridge! Why can’t you do it? With that genius talent you have? Oh, forget it. I’ll go to the bug. He’s already on the verge of advancing from the second stage magic circle to the third stage magic circle in three days.]

“······.”

Surprisingly.

For three days.

I couldn’t take a single step from the starting point!

‘The basic 0-stage magic circle. The shape of a tetrahedron. Additionally, inject magic and distort the shape!’

I did as I was taught.

I visualized the shape of the 1st stage magic circle, a hexahedron.

I distorted the magic circle to move on to the next stage.

“Distort it! Distort it! Distort it! Distort it! Distort it! Distort······!”

“Aha! I did it, Grandmaster! It’s the 3rd stage!”

[Well done!]

“······1st stage. Completed.”

[Oh? I didn’t expect a bloodsucker to reach the 1st stage. That’s quite impressive.]

“······.”

I think I’ve had enough of this.

I gave up and withdrew the young magic from my trembling fingertips.

I think it’s time to draw a conclusion.

“The genius talent that appears once every 2000 years is nothing.”

I was fooled by Gwiho’s bragging.

It was natural that I could draw the basics of the magic circle, the 0-stage, from the beginning.

Because I had forcibly broken through the basics of sorcery magic circles through my trait.

That was all.

I had no talent at all.

I just couldn’t get past the basics I had gained through my trait.

That’s all there is to it.

[Two days ago, you were able to sense magic. And in just one day, you’re at the 1st stage. That’s not normal.]

“······Heh.”

In the meantime, it’s fortunate that Mijeong seems to have a talent for sorcery.

I won’t be able to get away from Mijeong in the future.

It would be a huge merit if she became a skilled sorcerer.

“Ugh. It’s not working.”

“Well. I expected it. You’re terrible at magic, so how could sorcery be any different? Ordinary people like us without talent will just watch the gloomy sorcerers of the future train.”

“Yeah. Let’s do that.”

Alicia, who had sat down next to me at some point, rested her head on my shoulder.

I moved her rabbit ears away because they were tickling my ears.

The long rabbit ears that had fallen back now wrapped around my neck like a scarf.

“What are you doing?”

“Smelling you.”

“Why are you smelling me? Are you trying to advertise me as your breeding partner? If that’s the case, it would be more effective to just spray urine-“”Hey?! That’s not it! I’m not trying to get your scent on me, I’m trying to get my scent on you! So that when my sister finds me, she’ll know for sure that you kidnapped me.”

“Aha.”

Alicia glared at me, her face flushed red and her voice trembling.

I couldn’t tell if she was angry or aroused.

Oh right, arousal was always my thing.

“I don’t think you need to worry. I don’t think I’ll be the one to return you to your sister’s arms, but rather the bugs or the undead. If neither of those work, I’ll lend you my magic, and you can just draw a portal.”

“I’m not worried about that. I’m worried about you.”

“Me?”

“Yes. You, who keeps piling up bad karma. You act like you’re going to overturn all the evil in the world by yourself.”

“Oh, come on. I’m just trying to break Yerinah’s illusion. You know she’s head over heels for me.”

“That’s not all. You try to solve everything on your own. Without explaining anything to anyone. You just go off on your own, leaving everyone behind to pick up the pieces.”

“That’s just…”

“You can’t explain it? It’s no use explaining it? I know. I have a vague idea. I have a feeling what you’re fighting against. Even if you explained it to someone like me, I wouldn’t understand it at all. If I’m like this, how much more so for other people?”

“······.”

Squeeze.

Alicia took my hand.

She rubbed her fingers between my knuckles, rubbing her scent on me as she spoke.

Alicia and I had fought Kali together in Elvengard, so it wouldn’t have been too difficult for her to deduce my goal.

She must have realized that I was moving to defeat a powerful enemy from another dimension that this world could not handle.

That’s why Alicia understands.

That this is something that can’t be explained to others, and that even if it was, it would be useless.

In fact, I’ve tried countless times over the past 12th run to warn people of the dangers ahead.

Don’t enter that dungeon, it’s going to become a Black Star dungeon soon.

Evacuate, the Four Heavenly Kings with such and such abilities are going to appear.

I repeated such advice, warnings, and threats over and over again.

Some of them were successful.

But most of them failed.

Even if you know information about the future, it’s not easy to move people’s hearts without evidence.

That’s why, in the end, until the true nature of the final boss is fully revealed.

I have no choice but to clear the dungeons and defeat the Four Heavenly Kings on my own.

“But please know this. You’re not alone.”

“That’s a bit…touching.”

“And. I think my sister will be able to understand you.”

“That’s funny. That’s impossible.”

“You. There’s something else you’re hiding. Right?”

She spun around and climbed onto my thigh.

Alicia whispered, poking my chest with her index finger.

I think I know what she’s talking about.

Is she talking about my transmigration and regression?

She might not know it herself, but the only thing I’m hiding from Yerinah now is that.

“I think my sister will accept you even after hearing all of that secret.”

“Nonsense. That incestuous pervert?”

“She’s just paranoid, I’ll cure her.”

Alicia smiled wickedly, holding the Kwang Halshimbeop in her hand.

“My sister will be the one who can truly understand you. I can’t, but…”

“Why do you think that?”

“The amount of fate is different. You can tell just by looking. Women have a keen sense.”

“······.”

“Right now, you should avoid my sister, of course…but…please, when my sister has mastered this technique and understands everything about you. Will you face her again then?”

Alicia whispered softly in my ear.

For some reason, her voice was trembling.

Alicia is truly loyal.

Even at a time like this, all she thinks about is Yerinah.

I feel a little envious of Yerinah for having such a wonderful servant.

“Okay. I’ll do as you ask. When that time comes, I’ll face Yerinah and settle our fate.”

“Okay. I’m glad to hear that…”

Alicia started to rub her body against me, hugging me tightly.

For some reason, her body temperature seemed to be rising.

“Can you let go of me now?”

“hehehe. But isn’t it strange? The man who kidnapped a woman, cast a spell on her, and kept her as a slave, is now doting on her. Wouldn’t it be more natural if he treated her more roughly? Shouldn’t I leave some kind of…mark on my body?”

“······.”

Swish.

Alicia turned her head away from my ear.They are breathing heavily at a distance where it looks as if their lips will meet at any moment.

It’s a mark on the body.

It certainly seems like a vicious shaman would have hit him or left a mark on him.

But······.

“No.”

“What?!”

“No, because it’s not such a vicious concept. Yerina will also notice. “I’m not the type of person who goes out that way.”

He grabs Alicia’s wrist and lifts it up.

Then, with a gentle rub of her thumb, the thick makeup of her her comes off, revealing the scar on her lower half her.

From Noble mtl dot com

Although I may be a little far from common morals, I am not unscrupulous enough to lay a hand on a child who has hurt her.

No matter how much it deteriorates, it will never fall to that level.

I think so too, and I think Yerina believes that too.

So, it would be unreasonable to say that he violated Alicia or stabbed her here.

“Or was that just a seduction? “A characteristic of rabbit beasts that are always in heat mode?”

“Uh, there?! No! What a strange imagination…!”

[Thing. Stop doing embarrassing things in front of your kids, right? Have humans these days lost their sense of shame? The rabbit beast people were originally that kind of race, so you might think so.]

At that time, from a distance, Gwiho clicks his tongue and shakes her head.

It was just a job to cover up the smell, but he seemed very embarrassed.

Still, this would have been enough.

“Anyway, thank you. Now get out of the way.”

“Huh?! Ears, don’t cover your ears…”

“Oh right.”

Shhh…

The moment I found a suitable handle, I grabbed it and put Alicia aside.

Alicia lets out a melting voice, and warm steam rises from underneath her.

Ah······.
