Episode 106.
After everyone left, the place they were in began to shrink, starting at the end.
When only a small amount of space was left, letters appeared in the air.
[The fourth trial is over.]
[Repatriation.]
Apparently, this time, they don’t give any gifts.
Come to think of it, I have already received the gift.
‘Natural power, elemental power, reinforced exorcism sword, and the talisman of victory.’
got a lot
When I closed and opened my eyes once, it changed to a familiar place.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the sanctuary.”
It was a sanctuary.
Divine power was clearly more abundant than before.
But I didn’t feel that good.
“Isn’t this why you can’t feel the natural power because of the divine power?”
Still, it’s something you have to do to know.
I thought about a place where I could feel the power of nature.
Then, suddenly, I realized an important fact.
“There is an order to everything.”
It was a sanctuary for a long time.
What I had to do was already decided.
I had to enjoy delicious food and threat-free sleep for the first time in a long time.
Training is after that.
“Well then, shall we go back?”
I opened the door of the house in the sanctuary.
As soon as I opened it, it smelled delicious.
“Let’s rest for today and start training.”
I sat down at the table and began to devour the food in a hurry.
***
I thought of a place where it would be easy to feel the power of nature.
And there was only one conclusion.
“I’ll have to think about the tourist spots I’ve been to so far.”
In the sanctuary where the location changes as you think of it, you can change it to the location you want.
“By the way… is it possible to feel the force of nature here?”
After completing the fourth ordeal, the divine power felt in the sanctuary was more abundant.
This enriched divine power only seemed to interfere with feeling the natural power.
“It would be good to try.”
There was plenty of time to practice.
There was still a long time before the fifth trial began.
[729:09:43]
The number floating in the air was 729.
If there was anything different about this than before, it was the date.
The last number was changed to minutes instead of seconds.
“2 years···.”
Two years remained until the fifth trial began.
“I’ll have to change places first.”
Most of the tourist spots I have visited so far have had wonderful natural scenery.
In other words, natural forces will also be abundant.
I searched for old memories.
“As expected… the first time…”
It would be nice to go to Cheki Village, where you went to help Jacob, a vassal before returning.
It was also the first trip I took after returning.
“Let’s think of a lake in the village of Cheki in the Caldert region.”
recalled old memories.
When I closed my eyes and opened them, the scenery around me had changed.
It was a lake near the village of Cheki as I remembered.
Even the ferryboat floating in the middle of the lake was the same.
I took a deep breath.
“hmm! It’s refreshing.”
The air was different.
The familiar scent of home.
I jumped to the middle of the lake at once.
And I landed on the ferry easily.
“I miss you quite a bit.”
In the past, Knight Dale struggled to get on this ship.
Dale swam and brought the boat to me.
“Being calm makes me feel good…”
I lay on the ferry and looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear without a single cloud.
I tried to close my eyes.
“No, it wasn’t the time for me to be like this.”
After I got into the pose, I started to feel the natural force.
Even as time passed, the natural force was not felt.
“Ehh… it wasn’t easy after all.”
I lay down again.
“It’s a place I imagined, but it’s still nice.”
The tension was instantly relieved.
And in an instant, I was able to capture a small energy.
I was startled and stood up.
Because of that, my stomach shook for a while.
“what? What about that energy just now…?”
If I hadn’t misunderstood, the energy I had just felt was a natural force.
“no way?”
I relaxed again and lay down.
I almost fell asleep without realizing it, but I stayed in this state.
And before long, I sensed a small and subtle energy.
This time, I was not surprised and tried to touch the energy.
“Natural force is certain!”
I finally realized.
From nob le mt l. co m
Natural force was not an energy that could be sensed by concentration.
Rather, it was an energy that could only be accepted in a relaxed and comfortable posture without focusing.
I quickly accepted the energy of that natural force.
As the natural forces were sucked into my body, for some reason my body felt energized.
“what?”
The natural force that entered the body soon disappeared.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, it didn’t disappear, it merged.
At the same time, I realized that something had changed.
“Is the telekinesis enhanced?”
Instinctively, he used telekinesis.
It was much more natural and stronger than before.
“Ohhh… the natural force that entered the body merged with the spirit power?”
In addition, I was able to feel that it was a little more elemental power.
“That means…”
If you continue to accept the natural force, the spirit power will become stronger.
And the spirit power that had only come vaguely will have a clear power.
That meant that I would be able to handle it properly by energizing the elemental power.
“Then you will be able to reach the level of a demigod by dealing with these two energies.”
After thinking, I continued to accept the forces of nature.
But after a while, I no longer felt the force of nature.
“Um… is this the end of being here?”
It doesn’t matter.
So far, I have traveled to many places.
If you change places, it will be possible to gather enough natural power.
“Then…the next destination is Febris Village in the Faust Territory.”
It was the place where I met Ephinia when I was at the academy.
At that time, Epinia was using the pseudonym Ea Kirton.
“Ephiniara…”
When I thought of Epinia again, I felt sorry.
We decided to go on a trip together, but the end of the trip was canceled because I met Veles.
“Ephinia will take Hardo with you. No, would you like to have Patrick with you?”
By the time I get out of the Sanctuary, it will probably be quite some time.
That said, a lot has changed outside.
If I had to pray for one thing, I hope the outside world doesn’t fall into Veles’ hands.
“At least one year…”
Gathering enough of these little natural forces would take a long time.
“I’d like to finish it as soon as possible.”
I focused on gathering the natural forces again.
Walking the streets of Febris village with a light heart, he embraced the power of nature.
Every time I accepted it, the memories I had with Epinia came back to me, and I felt indescribable emotions.
“Yes, as soon as possible…”
For some reason, my head started to fill up with epinia.
Then, a feeling came to mind.
‘want see.’
***
I suddenly checked the time floating in the air.
[365:11:34]
A year has already passed.
The natural forces I embraced during this time were staggering.
When all of them were combined with the spirit power, they had a power that was incomparable to before.
And I decided on one thing.
“I have to start slowly.”
The elemental power, which had only been vaguely felt, merged with the natural power and began to be felt as energy.
From nob le mt l. co m
Now I have two energies in my body.
Mana and spirit power.
Mana had the same level of mana as a sword master.
And the elemental power also had the same level of mana as the sword master this time.
To be precise, it was to compare.
“Now I have to combine these two energies somehow.”
I remembered the energy of Veles I had felt before.
It wasn’t like using two energies at the same time.
When I felt it then, it was Magi, but now that I think about it, it was a slightly different energy from Magi.
It must have been because of the combination of the two energies.
“I’ll have to try it a few times.”
I began to do the act of merging the two energies.
It was quite painful, but tolerable.
And the moment the two energies met, it exploded.
“Cuck!”
I passed out from the excruciating pain.
And when I woke up, I was in the same state as I was.
“no way!”
I immediately inspected the body.
He immediately sighed.
“It can’t be that easy after all.”
The two energies still could not become one.
I thought about the explosion for a moment.
And he confirmed the devastation around him.
“Huh… It must have really exploded.”
There was blood splattered all around.
It must have exploded from within.
“Um… but why?”
My body was fine.
Like the third ordeal, I wondered if even if I was hurt, I would be healed right away.
But it was a sanctuary.
Wounds were never healed in the sanctuary…
“I don’t know because I’ve never been hurt…”
For a moment, I remembered one thing.
After the fourth ordeal, this place has changed a lot.
It has been changed to a place where divine power is abundant.
And he remembered a magic that represents divine power.
“Healing magic!”
As far as I know, just emitting divine power can heal wounds.
That said, I just thought that the reason I got better was because of the abundant divine power of this place.
“then···!”
There was no need to be overbearing.
Since it heals wounds automatically, it will heal on its own, unless it is a fatal wound.
“Can we go a little more radical?”
That kind of pain is enough to endure for the sake of being half-body.
“Then let’s start over.”
***
There was an anecdote.
It was a situation where a wizard was being chased.
The wizard shouted at the knight blocking the path.
“Why are you blocking me?”
“I just follow orders given.”
The wizard poured out as much magic as he could towards the knight.
But the weary wizard’s magic unfolded in an unexpected way.
mana runaway.
Because of that, the surroundings were devastated.
The wizard himself was also seriously injured.
“no? This!”
There were two people lying down.
It turned out that there was not a single enemy who was aiming for a wizard.
The assassin was also hiding and aiming for the wizard.
And because of the magic that devastated the surroundings, not only the knights but also the assassins lost their lives.
There was a reason why I suddenly said this.
“Should I say I’m lucky…”
The body exploded several times.
And soon the body was restored.
Such repetition transformed my body anew.
Thanks to the recovery through divine power for a long time, the vitality and solidity of the body have become extraordinary.
“furthermore···.”
I tried the body transformation technique that Armis taught me.
Unlike before, my body was able to fully accept mana.
It was unintended, but it turned out to be a good result.
Like the story I just told you.
“It’s not long now.”
I checked the numbers in the air.
[180:19:32]
There is only half a year left.
I tried to combine the two energies using my superior body.
Certainly, the energy began to fuse more easily than before.
It must have been a virtue that I learned everything about my body as my body changed.
“I could really reach the level of a demigod.”
I felt that my vague goal was now right in front of me.
***
“Quaaagh!”
I tried to endure the pain as much as possible, but a scream came out.
The body collapsed and was restored repeatedly.
Even in the maddening pain, a smile naturally formed on my lips.
“It’s finally done!”
The two energies merged.
The reaction of this body was also a process of changing into a body that could withstand the two energies combined.
I finally reached the level of half-body.
It was when I had only a week left in Sanctuary that I reached the level of demigod.
