Chapter 125 – Adventure’s Lightning Mage (11)
“This is a debt.”
Looking at the surprised orca, Han Yuseong smiled calmly.
She was dumbfounded for a moment.
She had to say something, but she didn’t know what to say, so she just kept her mouth shut. She took a moment of silence to organize her thoughts and barely spoke.
“Why are you here…”
Before Han Yuseong could finish her words, she moved to another monster. As if she had been ignored, Orca’s forehead had blood vessels.
“Hey! Why are you here?! I told you to go! Did you ignore my orders?!”
Han Yoo-seong cut off the head of the kobold that was charging at him. She frowned and replied.
“Suffice it to say that such a story is over. If you don’t want to search together, go ahead and change the marble color!”
After Yoosung finished her answer, she dealt with the next monster that came rushing in.
At her bold answer, Orca let out a blank laugh. The corners of her mouth raised slightly.
“It’s over…”
It’s as if it’s natural to pass this test.
“Yeah, it should be over.”
Orca closed her eyes and focused on the flow of her mana. I can feel the core of mana in the Danjeon. Mana, who departed from this place, passed her intermediate medium, magic, and was transformed into lightning.
Orca squeezed the mana core. Supply of mana increased drastically, and blood vessels and magic were overloaded.
Instead, the quantity and quality of the lightning emitted has increased.
The color of the beads changes faster than before.
Dark blood flowed from Orca’s mouth.
She was a master at squeezing the core of mana.
Her veins twisted and her mana core cracked. I don’t know about the former, but the latter was seriously dangerous. If left unattended, his life as a wizard could end.
Orca turned her gaze towards Yuseong Han. He is blocking the incoming monsters. He kicked the rushing goblin, dodged the skeleton’s dagger, and tore the kobold’s jaws open.
The move was precarious. It wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed anytime.
‘That guy believed me and jumped to the limb.’
You must repay the trust. It’s not when you’re sacrificing yourself.
Orca overworked Mana’s core even more. The blood that had flowed until just now spurted out.
But there was no pain.
For the first time, there was a person who entrusted his life to himself. Intoxicated with that feeling of exhilaration, he forgot all fear and pain.
Lightning strikes.
The beads that boasted a fresh green color are no longer there. Like a forest devoured by a flood, the jade-colored realm shrank and then disappeared.
The beads turned blue.
The monsters that were threatening them also turned to dust and fell to the floor.
“Heo-euk… Hee-euk…”
Orca let out a heavy breath. He smiled and wiped the blood from his mouth.
‘I did it.’
There were crises in the middle, but in the end I did it. A sense of accomplishment ran through her spine.
– Admit it. You are my descendant
A man’s voice echoed through the corridor. Coogu palace. With a roar, the wall blocking my way split open. The cracked walls were dark. However, in the center of it, something glowing blue was floating in the air.
The moment he saw it, Orca recognized its identity.
The legacy left by Toriel’s incarnation, Julius.
As if possessed, she moved her steps toward the legacy. As she got closer, she could see what the blue light was. It is a single pill the size of a small marble.
‘Elixir…?’
Elixir is a drug that amplifies the mana contained in the core. It is mainly made by tearing the mana core of a creature rich in mana. Because it was precious and expensive.
Then, is the legacy of Julius the magic potion?
‘No, it’s a little different.’
You can feel the energy of lightning in this medicine. Considering that ordinary elixirs have neutral properties so that anyone can consume them, they are not ordinary elixirs.
Frowning her brow, she reached out her hand. When she grabbed the medicine, the medicine came with no power. The palm of her holding the sweet medicine tingles.
‘If I eat this…’
The ranking that has been stopped all the way may rise. She gulped her saliva and looked at her weakness with her greedy eyes.
“…”
She immediately shook her head.
This is not a reward she achieved alone. As much as he risked her life, she had to share equally.
Orca looked around her to see if there was anything else worth taking.
On one side of the wall, I saw a jewel shining blue.
She pulled out the jewel that was inlaid.
‘What is it, onyx?’
Why is onyx stuck in a place like this? As she questioned, she saw something she hadn’t seen before. Around the spot where the onyx had been embedded, there were black stones embedded in it.
She noticed that it was an onyx that had reached the end of its lifespan. At the same time, she saw the magic circle centered around the onyx and opened her mouth.
‘Orharcon?!’
It is a mineral comparable to Mithril, like a warrior’s dream. Contrary to Mithril, which has the property of repelling mana, it has the property of absorbing mana well.
‘To grind something like that and use it in a magic circle…’
Is it really an incarnation? It’s not a waste of a grandiose name. Orca pulled out her potion from her belt and spilled her contents on the floor. She scooped up Orharkorn powder and put it into an empty potion bottle.
When I scraped it all off, my eyes went to the onyx, which had reached the end of its lifespan. Not because it’s worth it. Because the thought of one assumption sent chills down my spine.
‘If only one of them had been better…’
The number and quality of monsters created must have increased. Orca and Han Yoo-seong could not have endured and may have died.
I was lucky in many ways.
‘Well, they say luck is also skill, right?’
Assuming a bad situation doesn’t change the result. He and she passed the test. Without hesitation, Orca turned his back and came out of the wall.
She turned her eyes and searched for Han Yuseong. He was sitting on the floor, applying potion to his wound.
Seeing him, Orca, who was in a good mood, approached him with a clatter of footsteps.
“How is it? Are you okay?”
“No, I think I’m going to go behind.”
“Thumbs up. Give it to me.”
“It’s done.”
“Give it to me.”
Orca forcibly took away what she didn’t like. She poured her potion over his wound.
“Who ignorantly put a potion directly into the wound?”
“…”
I turn my head as if I have nothing to say. Orca smiled and sprayed the potion on her scars.
“Bandages…”
“It’s in the backpack. Go out and put it on. Rather, did you take Julius’ legacy? What was it?”
“Hehe, are you curious? Come on, look.”
Orca pulled out her elixir. Her oily expression became subtle. Maybe it’s because you don’t know what this is. She explained about this drug.
“It turned out to be a bigger deal than I thought.”
“That’s right. It is the only thing in the world that even the emperor of the empire cannot find.”
She cut the pill in half. I handed one to Yoosung.
“This?”
“Receive. It’s up to you.”
Yooseong opened her eyes wide and looked at her. Orca liked her reaction.
“I… I’m fine.”
Yoosung pushed her short medicine away. Orca smiled and held out again.
“Receive. You deserve it.”
“No, that’s all right.”
“Because it’s okay.”
“It’s done.”
Yooseong continued to refuse. Eventually, Orca held out her irritation slightly and pushed it out again.
“Because take it. Aren’t you listening to me?”
“It’s not that I don’t get it, it’s that I can’t get it. If I eat that, I will die.”
“…What?”
Orca’s eyes widened at the unexpected story.
Yoosung sighed.
“According to Orca-sama’s explanation, doesn’t that elixir have the property of lightning?”
“Yes.”
“Then I shouldn’t eat it. Because the nature of my mana has already been hardened. The two tempers can collide inside, and I don’t have the confidence to deal with that.”
The meteor’s danteon is filled with mana that has the property of poison. If you take an elixir with lightning properties there, the two properties will become intertwined and lead to coin cultivation.
The same was true of Seris and Kara.
Learning the simbeop of the Daemunpa is such a story.
As for Ariel, I don’t know if she can eat it…
‘Is this precious to him?’
I’d rather not receive it.
“And in the first place, isn’t that an ordinary elixir? What if you split it in half and it doesn’t work? Just take the Orca and give me something else.”
“…Okay?”
I thought you’d like it. Orca was shaken by the unexpectedly calm response.
“Okay. Then there is nothing you can do.”
Orca took out onyx and orhalcon powder and handed them to Yoosung.
“What is this again?”
“The gem is onyx. The powder is Orhalcon.”
“Yes?”
Yuseong looked at Onyx and Orhalcon in surprise. It is a more dramatic reaction than seeing the elixir.
‘…I don’t even know the value of this elixir.’
Orca became pouty for nothing.
“Whoa… I’ll take that for now and give you the rest in money.”
“Yes? Nope. This is enough…”
Coogu palace.
With a roar, the corridor began to shake. The ceiling collapsed and pebbles fell.
“…”
“…”
Orca and Yooseong faced each other. The complexion of the two of them turned pale.
“Run, run!”
The two hurriedly ran toward the aisle.
“Ah! Frostbite! I need to draw the face of the statue…”
“Does it matter now? It looks like it’s about to be buried!”
* * *
In the carriage back to Kalita, Orca’s expression had sunk. She looks at the floor and lets out a deep sigh.
I, who couldn’t see it, spoke up.
“Hey, can’t you make a little bit of a face? You got the inheritance you wanted, but is the face of the statue a great deal?”
Orca raised her head. Her sharp eyes are drooping and her dark circles are deeply sunken.
“…You won’t know. What does the statue mean to the society…”
Then she lowered her head again. I’m at a loss for words. I just hoped to get to Kalita quickly.
* * *
“Im here.”
The coachman turned around and said.
I got off the wagon.
I took a breath and looked around. It’s been a long time since I saw it, so I felt welcome to the scenery of Kalita.
‘What are Seris and Kara doing?’
I miss you because I haven’t seen you for two weeks.
‘Shall we buy some snacks on the way?’
As I was thinking nonsensical things, the orca who had paid the price came to my side. I hesitated without answering. She looked at me as if asking what she was doing and cleared her throat as if embarrassed.
“Hmmmm, hey Han Yuseong. If there’s nothing to do afterwards, have a cup of coffee…”
“Yoosung Ceeeee!!!”
I opened my eyes wide at the familiar and nostalgic voice from behind. When I turned around, someone hugged me in the chest.
It was Seris, a silver-haired beauty wearing a rabbit mask.
“You’re late…! He said he’d be back in two weeks…”
“Sorry, I was late because something happened. Are you worried?”
“I did a lot… A lot.”
She cried and rubbed her face on my chest.
I laughed and stroked her hair.
“What about Kara? Oh, there he comes.”
Kara and Ariel were running from the direction Seris came from.
“Sister! Go with me..! Whoops, whoops…”
“Kara.”
“Brother!”
When Kara saw me, she smiled brightly and ran to my arms. Unlike Celis, who was rubbing her face, she was busy catching her breath. Well, it looks like it’s very difficult.
I hugged them tightly with both arms.
“Hey, hey… Han Yuseong…”
A trembling voice was heard from the side. Orca asked, pointing at Seris and Kara.
“They… Who are they..?”
Ah, come to think of it, I’ve never talked about Seris and Kara.
Why don’t you introduce yourself?
“This is Ceris, and this is Kara. Both of them are my lovers.”
“What?”
Orca’s expression was astonished.
