Episode 111. Normal Quest (1)
Pop-.
The lid of the advanced mana enhancing elixir opened with a cheerful sound.
gulp-.
The thick liquid passed down Yuri’s esophagus at once.
The cold elixir that reached the stomach quickly became hot heat and spread throughout the body.
‘It’s hot.’
Following the low-level elixir and the elixir of the leader of the Black Sword Corps, this was the third time.
Even so, the sense of heterogeneity that still lingered in this stomach was awkward.
But that feeling is short-lived.
Yuri closed his eyes and contemplated, concentrating on the mana spreading throughout his body.
Ssss-.
The heat that started inside her stomach soon turned into a feeling of refreshment, and soon a light haze rose from Yuri’s body.
As Yuri guided mana according to the mana rod he had learned, the mana that had been scattered began to gather into the core.
A slowly growing mana core.
Leave it like that and time passes.
Whoa-.
Pale golden breath spewed from Yuri’s mouth and nose.
Opening his eyes, he gently rubbed his lower abdomen and tilted his head.
“How come, you’re a drug addict… … ?”
What he ate a while ago was an advanced elixir.
Therefore, it gave a much larger amount of mana than the low-level elixir he ate before.
However, it was worse than the Black Swordsman’s Elixir, which he had obtained thanks to Greta.
Not only did the amount of mana fall short, but the purity itself also fell too low.
‘It’s a high-level horse, but its purity is similar to that of a low-class horse, and only the amount of mana is high, isn’t it?’
did i eat wrong?
So puzzled, Yuri picked up an intermediate elixir and swallowed it right away.
Another hour or two passes.
“hmm?”
As soon as he woke up this time, he tilted his head and picked up the low-level elixir and swallowed it.
Time goes by like that again.
Whoa-.
“Ahh.”
Yuri let out a golden breath and nodded as if she understood perfectly.
“It wasn’t something I ate wrong.”
There was no problem with the upper, middle, and lower elixirs he ate.
The three elixirs performed exactly according to their level.
It was just that the elixir of the Black Sword Corps he had taken before was so great that it was incomparable.
Even if you combine all the other elixirs you’ve taken so far, you won’t be able to find just one elixir from the Black Sword Corps.
‘Perhaps even the highest level elixir has a high amount of mana, but its purity is inferior to that of the Elixir of the Black Sword Corps.’
To that extent, the elixir of the Black Sword Corps boasted tremendous purity.
Once again, Yuri, who stuck out her tongue saying it was the Black Swords Elixir, took even the remaining low-level elixir.
Yuri enjoyed the luxury of pouring out as many as four elixirs in one day.
“f*ck-.”
He forced out a burp that didn’t even come out and smiled contentedly.
“It’s good.”
Yuri patted his stomach.
I sat there motionless for hours.
He even went on an empty stomach to receive medicine.
Even so, Yuri was so full right now.
‘Is it the size of a fist now?’
Although the purity was much lower than that of a few hours ago, the size was clearly different from when only a couple of eggs were cooked.
Especially when you first came into the cradle.
Compared to the mana core, which was the size of a walnut at that time, it was truly an enormous growth.
And what’s even more encouraging is that it was only two months ago.
‘It’s been a little over two months since I came into the cradle, and it’s grown this much, right?’
Why did John try to bring himself into the cradle?
Why did he say that there is no better place for someone as talented as Cradle to build their skills?
I could clearly understand now.
There would be no other place in the world where it would be this easy to obtain an elixir.
When life in this cradle is over, how much will one’s mana core grow? Even Yuri himself was curious.
With a slight smile on his lips, he got up from his seat and picked up his sword.
Yuri aimed the sword straight ahead and stared at the tip of the sword expressionlessly.
And immediately, a change occurred in his sword.
Ugh-.
Lightning flashed with a clear luster on the blade that emitted a faint vibrating sound.
Parts, that is – Chijik -.
The thunderbolt that wrapped around the sword gradually grew thicker, and then suddenly disappeared as if it had been discharged.
But this was only for a moment.
Cha-chi-chi-chi-.
A lot more thunderbolts soared than before they suddenly disappeared, and the sword turned red.
Finally, the sword is dyed completely red.
Yuri swung the sword that had changed as if it had been heated by fire.
square-.
The sound of sharp blades grinding air.
It was so sharp that even with a light swing, the texture of the air was cut.
At this, a small murmur flowed from Yuri.
“… done.”
A faint smile hung at the corner of Yuri’s mouth as he looked at the sword he had completed.
Just like that, before a month had passed since Thearesia had listened to the stages of Kang, Yeon, Hwa, Demon, and Sung.
Yuri succeeded in unleashing a soft sword, which was the symbol of a certified 2nd dan.
‘Does this consume more mana than I thought? I don’t think I can keep it that long… … .’
I think I can keep it for a few minutes at most, but somehow I succeeded.
‘Is it a fire sword next?’
Yuri even tried a fire sword in spite of himself.
but.
Tsutsutsutsu -.
A thunderbolt shimmering dangerously as if it were about to go out.
In the end, the hot flames of the fire sword did not rise.
Yuri gave up after trying a few more times and scratched her cheek.
“This doesn’t work.”
The wavelength matching rate reached 90% right away, but the long sword could not be used due to lack of mana.
It was somehow easy until the soft sword, but it was not easy from the fire sword.
‘The amount of mana is also the amount of mana, but the coincidence rate of the wavelength is also a problem.’
The 5 percent difference between a soft sword and a fire sword was not something that could be simply expressed in numbers.
Even when I tried to match the match rate, I kept feeling that something was off and slipped.
‘It won’t be easy.’
It seems that I need to practice a little more to spread the fire sword.
‘No, but before that, it would be better to learn a bit more about the soft sword.’
Yuri’s face was bright even though the fire sword failed.
‘The next 10 months… … .’
With the completion of today’s sword training, the only thing left of the homework given by Yohan was the completion of the fire sword, the magic sword, and the magic sword.
On top of that, my personal goal, the Holy Sword.
There was still much to be done, but Yuri was not impatient.
‘Enough time.’
Glass slowly… But because it was growing fast.
The one who knew that better than anyone else was Yuri herself.
* * *
Three days have passed since the day Yuri completed the softened sword.
And near the forest where Yuri and Thearesia live.
Pak- Pak-.
A pickaxe carved out of wood hit the ground fiercely.
Pak- Pak-.
After dozens of pickaxing, a large pit was formed.
Arin, who was staring blankly at the results of his work, nervously threw away the pickaxe he was holding.
Pod!
“Ayy! What is this!”
Yuri, who was watching the scene from behind, hurriedly ran over and quickly picked up the pickaxe.
“Ugh, if you throw away a precious tool like that, it will be useless!”
Yuri put the pickaxe into Arin’s hand again.
Then what do you do?
Pod!
Arin threw it again.
“I hate this!”
“Oh no, then I can’t use it. Isn’t our Arin nice?”
As if to soothe a fussy child, Yuri put the pickaxe into Arin’s hand again and patted the back of her hand.
As if that worked, Arin didn’t pick up and throw the pickaxe this time.
Instead, she huffed and glared at the glass.
“Why the hell am I supposed to be doing this!”
To this, Yuri replied bluntly.
“Are you looking for a house?”
“I asked for a house, when… when… … .”
A loud cry came out of Arin’s trembling mouth.
“You said you were building a house!”
In response, Yuri flicked her index finger left and right.
“Tsk tsk, what do you not know?”
“… … ?”
“A home is the best thing to make with your own hands.”
Arin’s hand holding the pickaxe trembled at that shameless statement.
she purred.
“Okay, let’s make a hundred concessions and say that the house I built with my own hands is the best. however… … .”
Arin pointed to the pit he had dug.
“Why do I have to dig? All I want is a house on high ground!”
“That is the foundation on which your house will stand. So dig deeper. If you don’t want to end your life by falling vertically with your house while sleeping later.”
“Boo… … .”
“And you agreed to build the house with your own hands in the first place.”
“… yes i agreed Yes, I definitely agreed to build the house. however… By the way.”
There, Arin exploded again.
He pointed around her and screamed.
“What kind of house is this? castle… No, it’s a village!”
Where Arin pointed his finger.
There, with the crack at the center, the wooden pillars erected all over the wide clearing caught my eye.
As if to indicate a boundary, wooden poles were sparsely embedded.
However, the problem is that the space drawn along the boundary is so huge that it is difficult to see it as a house for people to live in.
At Arin’s point, Yuri waved her hand.
“Oh no, it’s not that big. It’s better to build a big house at first rather than expand it later because it’s narrow after living there. Aren’t you going to do it twice?”
“If you feel that this is narrow, wouldn’t it be more strange?”
“well? You’ll know when you go later, right?”
“Whoa… … .”
Arin sighed and looked up at the sky.
No matter how annoyed you are, what do you do?
I can’t even eat the seeds.
‘I was stupid. I didn’t trust this guy!’
a few days ago.
Yuri showed up on the 2nd as promised.
Then, until he told them to follow him, he thought he was going to keep his promise, and he loved it so much.
But what?
To say that they brought them to an empty lot with nothing… … .
[I’ll help you, so let’s build a house together!]
… was
At first, I thought how long it would take to build a house, so I just said yes.
And exactly 30 minutes after spitting out those words, Arin regretted it.
When Yuri gave me a pickaxe and told me to dig.
‘at that time… I should have run away.’
This is just what I said to help with words.
In fact, it was as if Yuri was pampering them.
When Arin’s shoulders were shaking like that.
Yuri’s voice came through.
“Don’t be so perverse, and imitate others. Think of this as training, not labor.”
Yuri then pointed to one side.
There was Thearesia, who was vigorously swinging her spear at the tree.
Hiss-.
Her spear pierced holes at regular intervals.
But maybe something doesn’t like it?
She frowned slightly and tilted her head before moving back to her seat and standing in front of another tree.
After that, I took a posture with the eyes that met the enemy of life and death.
Hiss-.
Again, her spear quickly pierced the tree.
Next to Thearesia.
thud-.
Topped Poppy was moving with a tree slung over her shoulder.
However, he frowned slightly as if he didn’t like something, and then put another tree on his shoulder that was rolling next to him.
Then Poppy with a satisfied face as if she liked the weight.
He sat down and stood up several times before starting to move the tree to the designated place.
Each time Poppy’s big, angry muscles twitched.
Arin, who was watching them, stuck out his tongue.
‘How could it be like that… Can you adapt to this situation casually?!’
Arin’s eyes, especially when he was looking at Thearesia, were dumbfounded.
‘Poppy, even so, why does that senpai have no complaints?’
It’s surprising that seniors from the 49th class are in the place Yuri brought them to.
She was strangely cooperative with what Yuri was doing.
It’s to the point where I wonder if there’s something weak.
As Arin made a pouty expression, Yuri smiled and said.
“Now, let’s quickly finish our work and have lunch, lunch!”
Arin’s ears pricked at the sound of lunch.
At the same time, her irritation visibly subsided.
“… What’s for lunch today?”
Yuri brought Poppy and Arin this time and said he would provide lodging for them.
After that, he built something like a hut for Poppy, who is too big to enter the rift, and Arin, who doesn’t want to live underground even if he dies.
Of course, that wasn’t what Arin liked.
Because it was different from the original promise.
But why is she still holding back her anger?
Furthermore, the reason why he does what Yuri tells him to do while being moderately annoyed even though he can run away right away.
It was because of the food provided by Yuri.
Klopp-.
Seeing Arin swallowing saliva while asking what lunch was for, Yuri answered with a smile.
“It’s okay to look forward to it. This lunch I did a little bit better.”
“I, really? Is it better than yesterday?”
“of course.”
“Wow!”
“So, finish that quickly. Let’s finish it quickly and have lunch.”
“okay!”
Arin nodded and worked hard with the pickaxe again.
Her face was so bright as if she had been irritated.
Seeing this, Yuri laughed happily.
‘I’m sure he’s also a child from a precious family.’
Thearesia was the same.
I don’t know if it’s the guys who were rolling around on the street.
In the first place, the children of the house were accustomed to splendid taste before entering the cradle.
However, after entering the cradle and eating only dry food that was dry and tasteless for a long time, the desire was bound to build up.
At that time, what would happen if you ate a dish with moderate taste?
‘It’s just that the color of the eyes turns upside down.’
Thanks to that, Yuri was able to easily employ high-class personnel, Thearesia and Arin, to do such trivial tasks.
“Whoop whoop.”
The delightful smile soon turned into a sinister one.
However, not wanting Arin to see this, Yuri quickly erased her smile and looked at the pillars being erected in detail.
At that moment, a subtle madness dwelled in Yuri’s clear eyes.
‘This is the start.’
