## Chapter 593 – #121_I’M Back

#593

1.
A week had passed since then.
Time flowed on relentlessly.

No, perhaps “relentlessly” was a gross understatement.

After all, I had spent a lot of time with beauties like Dorothy, who exuded sex appeal, and L’Huy, who radiated cuteness.

During the day, the three of us would watch movies or play card games.
Around evening, we would head to the bedroom, where I would receive L’Huy and Dorothy in one bed, who had joined the healing sex after the previous intrusion.

Aside from the twins, it was my first time having a threesome, and it was an indescribable ecstasy.
Experiencing the allure of each different body and being buried in feminine flesh was truly fitting of the saying, “a flower in each hand.”

If you asked men around the world, about half of them might sell the rest of their lifespan for just one night like this.

Anyway, when night fell, I would put the exhausted L’Huy to sleep and learn magic from Dorothy.
And today was the last day of our lessons.

“You’re really quite smart. Even if you copied the magic, I thought it would take at least a month.”

Dorothy, wearing a loosely draped gown, took a sip from her tilted amber-colored cup, expressing her admiration for what felt like the hundredth time.
There was no trace of the woman who had been blushing and moaning in pleasure just moments ago, replaced by a fox-like demeanor that seemed to have aged a thousand years.

“Is that so?”
“Yes~ It varies depending on the rank~ but it usually takes over ten years for an apprentice witch to skillfully handle the mark they inherit, right? Even if it’s just a fragment, it’s not easy magic.”
“You only taught me the theory. I won’t know until I try it myself.”

He was embarrassed by the praise, but it was Dorothy, so it ended with this much fuss.
If he were from a clan that staked their lives on magical achievements like other witches, she might have even felt hostility toward his envious talent.

“Want to try it now? I’ll give you feedback.”
“I’d be grateful if you would.”

As Dorothy moved her lips, a small-scale barrier unfolded.

As a result of the smooth healing process, Dorothy had regained her prime strength.
In fact, it felt like her magical power circulation was smoother than before she received treatment.

The only male witch in history.
And not just any average Joe, but a capable individual who had even subdued Dorothy, a 22nd-rank witch, albeit with some restraint.

He possessed immense value just for his rarity and uniqueness, and not only could he rapidly recharge his magic, which was considered impossible, but he could also restore the dysfunctional functions of the mark.

He was a treasure whose value was impossible to calculate just by existing.

“……”

She felt a pang of regret once again.
It seemed like she was regretting becoming a public enemy for the first time in her life.
But Dorothy was quick to give up on things that couldn’t be helped.
She didn’t dwell on it and moved on to the main topic.

“Alright, show me.”
“Understood. Bloom.”

With the incantation, Siwoo immediately activated the mark.
Black shadows flickered like smoke, swirling around him, and a low-frequency hum could be heard.

He closed his eyes and visualized the form of the magic formula he had optimized and tuned while being taught by her.

The magic that could be obtained through magic replication was one type per witch.
There was also a limit to not being able to choose freely.
In that sense, Siwoo didn’t have high expectations when he first took magic from her.

Dorothy’s magic seemed powerful at first glance.
However, she used magic based on symbolism, and most of her self-magic was harmonized like a single building.

For example, even if you stole absolute power, the cost would become uncontrollable without a chapel.
Even if you brought a chapel, if you didn’t have magic to use according to the symbolism, it would be no different from a pretty and sturdy reverse barrier.

But this time, he could say he had the best luck.
The only magic among Dorothy’s that could be used independently.
He had won the most valid lottery ticket in the gamble.

-Wiiiiiiing!

The black shadows that had been scattered like a nebula began to be sucked into the air as if caught in a black hole.

The shadows, drawing a spiral trajectory, condensed and condensed into a small ring, and yet, without stopping, it rotated even faster, devouring all the magic around it.

The rotation, which had repeatedly accelerated, was now spinning so fast that even Siwoo’s dynamic vision couldn’t keep up with the number of rotations.

-Creak! Creeeeak!

Smaller than Siwoo’s palm.
However, the black ring, imbued with unprecedented power, slowly rotated, scattering the aftereffects of the highly condensed magic in all directions.

A massive power that seemed like it would scatter and lead to a catastrophe with the slightest misstep.
A power greater than what Siwoo could muster with all his might was rotating at full force.

Sweat dripped as he barely maintained balance amidst the power that was trying to burst out like a rampaging beast.
Although she didn’t speak to avoid interfering with his calculations, he could see Dorothy drawing her sword in preparation for an emergency.

-Kuuuuuung

After a long struggle, the rotation subsided, and the ring stabilized.
A terrifying power emanated from the ring, which was slowly rotating 10 to 15 times per minute.

A pumping technique that amplified and concentrated the total amount of magic that could be handled at the instant of forming a core outside the body.
This was the ‘Angel’s Ring’ that had been modified with Dorothy’s help.

“This… is no joke.”

At the same time, he felt the shocking consumption of magic.
Just creating the core required almost all of his magic.
There was a reason why even Dorothy in her prime couldn’t maintain her angel form.

“You have the heart of a beast.”

Dorothy sighed in relief only after seeing the stabilized core.
She knew he was confident in his skills, but there was a limit to how fearless he could be.

During the mere 15 seconds of implementation, the ring’s structure had almost collapsed thirteen times.
The failure of magic implementation was a moment that all witches feared.

It could lead to serious injuries or aftereffects.

But he didn’t hesitate at all and faced every dangerous moment head-on.
She knew that his understanding and application skills were exceptional, but she didn’t know that he would also have such guts.

She really had no choice but to acknowledge him.

“Want to do more?”
“Yes, since I’ve already done this…”

Siwoo’s arm swung.
A single ribbon followed behind him as if obeying a command.
At the same time, the ring above his head rotated again, creaking.

-Kwaaaaaang!!!!!

The ribbon, swung towards the pillars of the chapel, shattered three pillars completely with a roar.
Even if Dorothy wasn’t wearing her nun’s habit, the chapel was fundamentally sturdy.

It was just a single ribbon that had destroyed it in an instant.

Siwoo had intended to continue a bit more, but unfortunately, this was the end.
The ring scattered, and the magic Siwoo was using disappeared.

“Oh…”

Siwoo, holding his head, which had become dizzy from excessive consumption, examined the debris of the collapsed pillars.
He seemed to have gotten a rough idea.

Due to Siwoo’s characteristic of using various patched-up magic, he lacked a ‘finishing blow’ to decide the outcome.
Therefore, he had relied on the javelin, which imposed a huge burden on the body and had a long preparation time.

In that sense, the Angel’s Ring compensated for the lack of a finishing blow.
It was like a time-limited awakening mode used by a shonen manga protagonist.

The problem was that maintaining this ring was backbreaking…
It was greedy to expect to be full on the first try.

Just looking at Dorothy’s expression, she seemed very surprised, didn’t she?
It meant that it was a sufficiently great achievement.

“How was it?”
“From here on, there’s nothing I can help you with.”

Dorothy shrugged her shoulders and announced his graduation.

2.
Dorothy and L’Huy, having packed their bags, hugged each other warmly.

“I will miss you.”
“I’ll miss you a lot too, Your Majesty.”

It was a re-experience of a scene I had seen before.
Back then, Dorothy had returned and stabbed L’Huy in the heart, but after all the misunderstandings and misalignments were resolved, they were only filled with affection for each other.

“It’s a shame that I won’t be able to see Your Majesty’s face turn red for a while.”

Dorothy, with a mischievous smile, pinched her cheek, and L’Huy bristled at the joke.

“Hoho, I too will miss the sight of you imitating a cow.”
“Oh my~ You’re so cute even when you’re being sharp~”
“You have no respect for the Queen! Show some respect!”
“You’re so adorable~”

But outside of the bed, Dorothy was powerful.
She simply smiled and kissed L’Huy on the forehead, brushing off her counterattacks.

Looking at them like that, they really seemed like a kind aunt and a mischievous niece.
To have held both of them in one bed at the same time.
…What kind of donburi is this?

Siwoo was reflecting on his sins anew.

Dorothy, who had been hugging L’Huy affectionately and saying goodbye, walked over.

“Here, this is the location of my workshop. Contact me if you get lonely~”

On a folded piece of paper, detailed GPS coordinates were written.
He looked at it with slightly surprised eyes.

Siwoo was very close to a witch of Gehenna, while Dorothy was a public enemy.

Giving away the location of her workshop, which she should definitely hide, meant that she trusted Siwoo that much.
Even if it was unintentional, there was a possibility that this information could leak elsewhere.

Perhaps she had interpreted Siwoo’s reaction differently, as Dorothy continued to speak nonchalantly.

“I know~ It’s going to be difficult since you already have a lot of girlfriends, but that’s a story for Gehenna. You don’t have any in the mortal realm, right? It’s a kind of local wife. And also, you’re um…”

Dorothy hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth.

“…You’re also my friend… It’s embarrassing after all.”

It was more like Dorothy to be embarrassed by the word “friend” than when she was talking about a local wife.

“I will definitely visit you. It might take a while.”

It would probably be difficult to see her for a while.
L’Huy, being an exile, shouldn’t have any unfavorable suspicions to obtain a Gehenna citizenship, and if it became known that she was friends with a public enemy, it would work against her.

“Okay, I’ll wait anytime.”

Dorothy, after giving L’Huy a final kiss on the forehead, turned and left without any regrets.
L’Huy glared at Siwoo, who was watching her back, with displeasure.

“Stop staring at her butt. I’m worried it’ll wear out.”
“I wasn’t looking…”

And so, with mixed feelings of relief and regret, the three months in Akula, which had been full of ups and downs, came to an end.
Now it was time to return to Gehenna with L’Huy.
