104 – remaining_3
The demon left alone recalled the toy rolling on the floor.
It reminded me of painful things that I couldn’t leave from the bottom of his memory and kept getting wet.
The first thing that appeared was the face of the first hero. The faces of Al Sola, Lian Serwin, and Odrox then appeared. Even countless unknown faces.
The background was also impressive.
The background like the wasteland of the demon realm where he was born and raised spread around him.
What is emphasized is the gaze of the people who have emerged, and what is unfolded is the demon world.
‘The First Hero’s Companion..’
It was different from the story that there were four first warriors, so I was a little suspicious, but it didn’t matter.
The demon stretched out a finger and wiped away his blood on the floor. It looked like ordinary blood, without even the slightest magic power, without feeling anything.
‘The effect of the curse cannot last in the land of humans…’
Sitting on a luxuriously decorated chair, the devil rests his chin on his thoughts and begins to speculate as he recalls the memories he had glimpsed.
‘That’s the only possibility.’
This is why people without power have to suffer for the rest of their lives. Didn’t they coexist naturally because they didn’t have the strength or magic to drive out the curse?
‘This must be the way Al Sola told me, right? Originally, it would have been the right decision, but…’
Cruel Curse, an effect that inflicts extreme physical pain on the caster. Unlike other curses, it is characterized by adapting and growing.
He lived as a resource for the demonic energy he absorbed into his body, but his holy power drove that resource away. The curse that lost resources to use in an instant begins to adapt. To reduce pain and use other resources.
It begins to absorb the mana circulating through the body of the caster and transform it into magic. Since it was originally a weak magic power, the amount of conversion was small. To the extent that even those who have spent years in the Demon Realm do not notice.
And then, Solar’s method is presented. The best and most optimal method conceived by the human mind to burn all mana and consume all resources within the body.
As soon as there are no usable resources, the flow of curses is broken. And at that moment, it was right that the original effect would disappear. However, even if he consumed all of his mana, which was weak compared to that of ordinary people, he would not have been able to feed enough mana to overload the curse.
‘The Curse of Innocence must have been waiting with the original effect hidden. That kind of reaction came back as soon as I just spilled a little demonic energy.’
As soon as the air became similar to that of the demon realm, he wriggled and showed off his existence. In the meantime, the process of converting mana into demonic energy was also being repeated.
The small amount of magic that continues to be generated is consumed by other curses remaining inside his body before reaching the curse at his fingertips.
The fact that mana and demonic energy flowing inside his body cannot be detected proves this.
An instantaneous change that even Solar couldn’t notice, an extremely small amount of magic that was hard to see with the naked eye, and even its disappearance. But Eron caught it. It was possible because he had a past where he was born as a demon and studied curses.
‘Perhaps it’s a curse in a way that encourages one’s inferiority complex. Is it the curse of jealousy that Remedion used? It’s a pity that you don’t seem to notice the effects of the curse.’
Showing no regrets, the devil snapped his fingers, expressing the joy that comes from fun. At the same time, the demon’s form changes to that of a human.
The devil, who changed his form by using demons without a single chant, went out the door.
‘Can I use it properly?’
I couldn’t let go of someone who would satisfy both fun and curiosity, and someone who had a relationship with Al Sola.
..
“Sola..-sama? What’s going on..”
Just below the top floor of the Wizard’s Tower. The white-haired old woman, who had a lot of contact with Sola, was surprised to see Sola covered in blood and asked that.
Eventually, the end of that gaze goes to something full of red stains, not Solar.
“hurry..”
He can’t even form a sentence, his teeth are chattering, he can’t keep his eyes on one place. The old woman was startled by Sola’s appearance and hurriedly took something she was holding and laid her down on the bed.
The white robe she was wearing was stained with a fishy-smelling liquid, but she didn’t have time to worry about that in this situation.
The old woman reassured Sola as much as possible and at the same time unraveled what was wrapped around her. I could see the body of a man who had been intensively hacked in one place.
The area around her eyes had become rags, perhaps because only that place had been attacked from before.
Since she was an old woman with a considerable career in treatment, she began to look at the patient’s condition calmly even when she saw the face of a person who had become rags.
Thanks for coming here quickly, I felt like I could take appropriate action. At least the scars you have now won’t remain as scars.
I tried to examine the wound and sent my magic power, but the magic power inside him disappeared as if it was being eaten. It was a fairly unusual situation, but I didn’t panic. There are many ways to heal without using magic.
To be honest, she was more worried about Solar than about this patient.
What happened to this person and why Solar reacted like that was a later issue.
The biggest problem right now is that she’s a bit mentally unstable right now.
A mage whose mind is restless doesn’t know what to do. Judging by the amount of Solar’s magic power, if a runaway occurs, the situation will not end with a simple life-threatening accident.
Perhaps the key is this person. He had a lot of blood and no mana, but the house itself was not difficult.
It was just a little uneasy that I had to face it with the feeling that the fuse was on fire.
Even so, Solar managed to maintain her composure. From the basic form of magic chant to the advanced magic chant he developed, he was reciting all of them in his mind one by one, controlling his mind.
From the looks of the old woman, the way she was muttering with her hair wrapped was very unsettling.
In any case, the treatment ended in less than an hour. The scars that seemed to have occurred in the past could not be touched, but the newly formed scars were completely healed.
Because the original version is full of scars, you won’t be able to notice it easily.
“Solar-nim, it’s over.”
“Are you all right?”
“Of course. Thanks for bringing me in sooner, I could finish it sooner.”
Solar let out a sigh of relief and visibly gave off a ‘lucky’ vibe. Seeing her like that, the old woman said what she wanted to ask.
“Who is that man?”
“My favorite disciple.”
‘You’re a disciple? For something like that…’
Looking at Solar’s expression and reaction, it wasn’t like that. More than that, it was strange how he became a disciple of the Archmage with a body without magical powers.
But it just passed. He was satisfied with seeing a new side of the archmage who seemed to only have anger and irritation.
Solar approached Ron, who was lying flat on the bed and exhaling softly.
The old woman read the atmosphere and went out for a while, so they are the only ones in this room now.
Sola places a finger under Ron’s nose to see if he is breathing.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Next, place your fingers on your wrist and place your fingers on the carotid artery to check for a pulse.
Solar let out a big sigh once again as if she was really relieved after the excessive checking of survival was over.
A woman’s image flashed through her mind as she finally found time to relax and recall the situation when she found him.
She was a woman with a suspiciously beautiful appearance.
Is she the most popular woman in the window? no. That’s absolutely not the case.
Didn’t you sit cross-legged as if you were watching him?
It was a sight that seemed to pass by because of the urgent work in front of my eyes, but I remembered it perfectly.
Sola hurriedly started the chant and headed there. I didn’t want to go through the dirty window again, so I took the coordinates to the hidden room inside.
As soon as she got there, she saw a surreal scene of women in almost naked costumes, crying around an empty chair in the center.
“..al sola!!”
As soon as one of them saw Solar, his eyes lit up as if he had seen an enemy, and he rushed to grab her by the collar.
Even though it was blocked by the magic shield and bounced off, it was repeatedly attacking like a deaf moon. It was a behavior so simple that it could be considered a monster.
“If it weren’t for you..!! Because of you!!”
“Tell me to understand.”
“I heard Ereon-nim left because of you!!”
The fact that the devil who told them the knowledge of the underworld and the devil suddenly disappeared was the reason why they, who worshiped the devil, went mad.
The only clue was that the word ‘Al Sola’ was written crookedly on a piece of paper attached to the chair.
In order to appear in the eyes of the devil, to receive her knowledge, he lived by selling his body, but he suddenly disappeared. The lost arrow of disappointment and anger was directed at Solar, who appeared as if he had been waiting for it.
He flirted and placed his hand on Solar’s magic shield. At first glance, it looked like a sad scene, but in reality it was not at all.
They were people who fell under the devil’s charm and would do anything to establish contact with them.
It was safe to say that he was a madman who would risk his life to open it if he could only know how to open the portal to the demon realm.
“Eron? How long has that demon been with you?”
“Shut up! Al Sola! You ruined everything… you ruined everything…”
“Then answer me. When did he come? I don’t think he has any idea where he went…”
“It’s all wrong now. It’s over..”
Solar, who held back her anger while biting her teeth at their appearance as if she had blocked her ears, spoke in a way that comforted them as much as possible.
“I’ll find out where I am… can you answer my question?”
I managed to finish my words in a trembling voice, trying to hide the sound of grinding my teeth. Fortunately, it seems that it worked, and the attitude of the devil worshipers began to soften a little.
“Can you find it?”
“If you answer well.”
Confirming that confidence, the demon worshipers stopped charging at her and began answering Sola’s questions.
Of course, it wasn’t trustworthy, so I used the tools I used to interrogate prions in the past.
That’s how I got solid information from them. Name, time spent, specialty, personality, knowledge passed on, etc. Their words of sudden disappearance were also not a lie.
So did you run away? Do you know that I will come?
It was the most probable guess given the current situation.
My head hurt.
It’s like he doesn’t notice the demon that’s been there since he was the boss, and it’s like there’s one more thing to do in the future.
Sola looked around the room.
‘As expected.’
I heard a broken fragment hidden in a corner. It was black.
In response to Ron’s suggestion that let’s work together as before, Solar thought, ‘There won’t be a big risk’, but now it’s time to withdraw that thought.
You never know when chaos will come to the continent again. Because of what they gave up and withdrew.
Of course, the scale will be so small that it cannot be compared to the time of the Great Invasion, but it would be the best choice to use your hands before the worst happens.
A state influenced by Lane’s idea of protecting peace on the continent. Of course, getting out of this situation didn’t exist in her mind.
Things fit together just fine. With the help of the princess, they were able to quickly search for the demonic realm, and the colleagues who could be called the strongest on the continent reunited.
It’s time to get serious. There was nowhere to lose.
