The situation, which had been barely balanced, quickly turned to this side due to Minerva’s sudden appearance.
Venus was the first to run away with a deep wound.
It’s probably hard to find, since they’ve fled to the deep sea floor, but it’s clear that they won’t be able to move at least for a while.
A considerable amount of Yuno’s clones were destroyed, but unlike Milited, when Yuno’s clones are destroyed, the main body is also affected, so this can be seen as a significant harvest. Later, Svengali and Minerva told me that they would have consumed at least 40% of the power of the main unit.
Finally, Milted.
It was clear that he was in a more serious condition than the previous two, as he and I had been struck by Minerva’s breath almost authentically.
I wondered if he was dead, but if that’s the case, Minerva would have captured him and left him dead… It was hard to even think that that sly guy would have run into it without taking any measures. However, the fact that he was literally only alive and seriously wounded would not change.
“Huh… This is really… Cologne!”
Back as a human, I leaned against a tree and vomited over and over again.
Minerva immediately returned to my shadow as soon as the situation was cleared up.
The thorns that filled the heart were wriggling violently, but when I looked at them, they looked disgusting and disgusting. It would not be strange if a person who was first meeting saw this kind of misunderstanding.
There was a good reason why the thorn tree, which was originally quietly procrastinating, moved so violently.
Minerva appeared in the form of a dragon… To be precise, it was because she had lost a huge amount of power to her who appeared as an alter ego in the shadows.
It was consumed to some extent to recover from the fatal wound, but even so, too much power was taken away. To some extent, most of the power that had been stored up as a power reserve had disappeared without a trace.
[My dear. Okay, are you okay… ?]
“uh… It’s okay, it’s okay.”
[Bo, she acted too lightly… I didn’t expect you to be this hard, I swear… .]
Perhaps he did not know that I would suffer this much, Minerva muttered in a very gloomy voice.
I waved my hand as if it was okay, but I felt like I was going to fall, so I immediately grabbed the tree again.
It was a typical mana depletion symptom.
He nodded mechanically, somehow enduring the ping and dizziness by taking a deep breath.
“Just, a little… it’s overkill Because there are wounds… Take a break and you’ll be back to normal soon.”
[Then you are lucky.]
Minerva’s voice.
However, it was not the voice that contained the worries and regrets I had just heard, but a voice that was deeply wary.
I slowly lifted my head.
In front of me, Minerva, who had returned after smashing Juno’s clone, was looking down at me with a sullen look.
[You guys… no.]
Minerva shook her head for a moment and repeated her words.
[Because it seems like there are so many stories to share with you.]
“… … .”
I had a rough idea of what she meant.
The thing that turned into a dragon, the king of thorns exuding the energy of the Seven Evils, and above all, even the appearance of Minerva who had just appeared… .
There was too much evidence for her to question her.
[Ask one first.]
I was nervous at her question, but when I heard the next question, my chin and tension were relieved in an instant.
[Isn’t the wound in the heart still okay?]
“What?”
She asked my question again without showing any sign of bothering me.
[Your heart. I asked if there were any problems in the future.]
“uh… .”
She, who knew she would be questioned right away, would say something that worried about the condition of this place.
A little perplexed, I immediately returned the truthful answer to her.
“Well… I don’t know either. It’s the first time I’ve been hurt like this, and it’s the first time I’ve been in a situation like this. I’ll have to check it out sometime soon. for now… Let’s ask Sooyoung once. There is also Laune.”
Perhaps she didn’t like the answer, so she laughed and snorted.
[The answer is too much like a loach’s tail tease. If there is a problem, say yes, if there is no problem, what are you talking about?]
I smiled shyly at her rebuke.
Minerva stared at me like that, and suddenly threw up a topic.
[It smells.]
She slowly nodded her head, as if trying to sniff me closely.
Right in front of her was her face, her bright red eyes shining like jewels, looking at me like a mirror.
‘Come to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve seen it so close.’
As she thought about it while making eye contact with her peacefully, she smelled enough and turned her head back to where she was. She exhaled a few breaths as if savoring, then murmured.
[No matter how blunt you are on this side, you can’t help but notice if you’re so blatant.]
She nodded and began to call her name slowly.
[Dry.]
[Sbengali.]
[Millited.]
[and… This Minerva.]
What these names have in common is that they were all seven kinds of evil.
And it was the seven evils I have in my body.
[It’s amazing that a mere human body smells like four seven evil species… There are so many things in your body odor that it makes you dizzy. So much so that I wondered why the real woman didn’t notice it earlier… .]
As she muttered, she was still looking straight at me.
[Of course, she will have to give a convincing explanation.]
When Minerva had finished speaking up to that point, she suddenly opened her mouth and began to collect her breath.
If she breathes out to me now, a terrible thing will happen, but I just stared at her.
Because I was sure she wouldn’t do that.
[huh!!!]
In fact, Minerva seemed to be exhaling at me, then suddenly turned her head away. His breath was expelled at a speed that was hard to follow with his eyes, and then a loud roar resounded.
[…] You don’t even pretend to be surprised.]
Minerva glanced at me and muttered as if she still didn’t like me.
Then he tilted his head as if in surprise as he looked at the place where he spit out his breath.
[Well? What, is it possible that you’re still okay even after being hit by your mother’s breath? no… Yeah, it’s probably because the woman’s condition isn’t good yet.]
Yep, it turned out that there was a guard put on by Milited.
After hearing the story, it seems that Randsch, who was monitoring this place, somehow escaped without dying.
[Well, I was thinking of loosening up my stiff body, so I guess it doesn’t matter. Baby, you quickly… .]
Here Minerva paused for a moment.
[…] Join your party and let them heal their wounds. In the meantime, my wife is willing to do you a favor. I will go see you soon.]
“I have a rough estimate, can I ask what you are going to do?”
[Venus fled, and Juno fled too. Most of the two minions were wiped out by the real woman just before.]
I thought that I had been fighting Juno’s clone for a longer time than expected, but in fact, it seems that all the minions brought by Venus and Juno were organized.
She slowly spread her wings.
[But Milited’s power is still alive. It’s disgusting.]
Mumbling like a spit, she slowly began to soar.
Without even thinking about where she was going, she knew.
[…] Come to think of it, I forgot to say this.]
Minerva looked at me and said bluntly.
With those words, she immediately flew away and disappeared.
[I will never forget the kindness you have given me, Minerva.]
That day, 30% of Milited’s forces gathered by Minerva literally evaporated, and four of Milited’s own ten heirs lost their lives.

“Are you sick or not?”
Han Soo-young asked me, stabbing the thorn tree in my heart with an iron rod.
I nodded, showing her scars with nothing on top.
“uh. It just feels like I’m touching it normally. All of my senses are fine.”
“Um, then… .”
For a moment, she flicked and quickly pretended to pierce the heart with an iron rod.
Then, the thorns, which had been procrastinating slowly, came together as if they had a will, and they became hard on the outside.
“Do you have your own will? It’s really the first time I’ve seen something like this.”
She began to scrape the surface of the thorns with an iron rod, muttering cryptically.
But when he saw the iron rod being ripped apart, he became nauseous and savored his taste buds.
“There is a lot of robbery… Jihyeok, what are you expecting, nothing? None?”
At her words, I nodded slightly.
It was because I, like her, had nothing to guess except for the fact that, along with the branches of the World Tree, the king of thorns, the power of Sbangali, was involved.
And it was the same with Sbangali.
When I used the king of thorns, I was able to notice it instinctively to some extent, but in the case of the thorns that appeared in my heart, the only answer was that I could never know anything.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have studied the world tree as well… Umm, I don’t know much about this, so I can’t say anything.”
Han Soo-young muttered like that, then tapped and touched Laune, who was looking at me with her arms crossed.
“How about you, Laune, do you understand?”
“… … .”
Laune showed a more serious expression at Han Soo-young’s call.
And after a while, he shook his head slowly, still with a serious expression on his face.
Han Soo-young burst out laughing at the sight and stroked Laune’s hair a few more times.
“Let’s see for a moment, okay?”
Saying so, I picked up the jacket I had taken off beside me.
“It’s slow, but the wound is definitely healing, and there’s nothing particularly strange about Sooyoung as you asked.”
… I don’t know if it’s simply because of my mood, but it seems that Sbangali’s presence has increased a bit.
However, it was only such a small change that I wondered if it was because of my mood.
I looked closely at the status window, just in case, but nothing had changed as well.
There is not a single noticeable change in any of the skills, arts, or characteristics, starting from the stats… .
“uh?”
I wanted to do something for a moment, so I looked closely at the status window.
Name: Yoo Ji-hyuk
Gender: M
* * *
Stamina: C (+)
Strength: B
Agility: B (++)
Horsepower: D (++)

* It is strengthened than the number displayed on the status window by the power.
It was certain.
The karma level was rising.

Obviously, the first digit was 1 until I checked it a while ago, but at some point it was 20.
“what… ?”
I immediately looked at the notification window and history, but couldn’t find anything that I could guess.
Why the hell did the karma level increase, which didn’t increase when I absorbed Milited’s corpse, all of a sudden?
“Jihyuk?”
“uh?”
“Why are you doing something wrong?”
I immediately waved my hand as if nothing happened to Han Soo-young’s expression, looking at him worriedly.
… It was because I didn’t have to worry about her about things that I couldn’t even know for sure.
“Uh, no. I just want to say that you are great at swimming.”
“yes?”
“That’s right. At what point did you learn this magic?”
Saying so, I glanced around.
What she thought was great was by no means empty.
By Venus and Juno, the hut where they were originally staying, as well as the surrounding area, had become a mess.
So, while I was thinking about staying at an inn in the village for a while or, at worst, homeless, she used magic to create a simple dormitory.
The horse was a simple dormitory, and it was no inferior to the hut I had been in before.
“Just, what. I learned it because I wanted to be of some help… .”
As she said that, she stroked Laune’s hair over and over again for nothing.
Laune, who had been silent, slapped her fingers and slapped her with the roots as if to stop.
“Ouch! Ooh, weren’t we friends?”
“… … !”
At Han Soo-young’s reaction, which seemed to be unfair, Laune raised her head in excitement.
Then I got up from my seat and naturally went into my pocket.
“Chi… .”
Han Soo-young rubbed her fingers as if upset.
Then he tried to say something to Raune as if he was sad, but then he stopped talking and looked at me.
After a while, she hesitated and uttered a word with difficulty.
“… come.”
“yes.”
Even if she didn’t say it, I knew.
I got up from my seat and carefully took the Laune out of my pocket and gave it to her. The guy who would normally struggle and rebel, this time quietly hugged her.
They both looked at me nervously.
“I’ll go out for a while.”
With those words, I got up from my seat and went outside.
Minerva, who had just arrived outside, was waiting for me.
[Finally here.]
There were bloodstains all over her body as she muttered like that.
Knowing it wasn’t her blood, I didn’t ask anything.
In the first place, I wasn’t the one to ask the question now.
“okay.”
I raised my head and looked at her.
“What are you curious about?”
[Simple.]
Minerva said quietly.
[How do you feel the energy of the four Seven Evils from you? How the hell do you feel the aura of the original woman there?]
She was looking at me with a gaze that seemed like she wouldn’t let me go if I ever told a lie or pretended to be.
[What is the reason?]
At her question, I let out a small sigh, thinking that something was coming.
Yes, since the original Minerva knew it, it wouldn’t matter if we talked about it now.
“Simple.”
I answered looking at the woman I would meet in the future 300 years from now.
“Because I am from the future.”
