#267. Antidote

Ting-

[You have met the requirements for the 2nd job advancement.]
[Your job, Martial Artist, has advanced to Martial Warrior.]
[Advancement rewards are granted.]
[The Immaculate Body transforms into the Primal Body.]
[Primal Body (混原肢體)
Rank: Unique
Chaos and order, good and evil, yin and yang. It is the origin (一原) that encompasses all.]

“Hoo…”

I took a breath and opened my eyes.

Instinctively, I sensed that something had changed.

The first thing I felt was the lower and middle dantian filled with inner energy. It had increased more than double the original amount.

At this rate, wouldn’t it be safe to say I’m almost at the (True) Hwagyeong level?

Moreover, thanks to the job advancement reward, my physique had also grown. No, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it had completely transformed.

It was an unfounded conviction, but I felt like I could block sword energy without even using a protective barrier.

But I wasn’t particularly interested in that. The true meaning of the Immaculate Vajra Arts wasn’t about that.

I shook off the sticky grime and got up. Dried bloodstains remained all around.

‘The smell is terrible.’

I wanted to wash up right away, but I had something to do first.

I picked up the iron sword hanging on the rack.

Just holding the hilt, I could feel that something had changed.

The boundary between the sword and my hand seemed to blur.

As if they had been one from the beginning.

When I drew up my inner energy, a clear sword aura bloomed. But it wasn’t the usual golden color.

If I had to describe it, it was closer to ink black.

“What is this?”

Something felt strange, so I looked into my dantian again, but there didn’t seem to be any problems. The meager demonic energy had exploded, and the Vajra energy was balancing it out.

My physical condition was perfect, except for being a little tired.

‘It’ll be fine.’

After a moment of hesitation, I decided to brush it off.

Originally, my sword aura was blue. Then, as my mastery of the Immaculate Vajra Arts increased, it turned golden.

So, it was reasonable to think that something similar was happening this time.

After warming up and assuming a stance, I unleashed the Immaculate Sword Arts. Each form of the Immaculate Sword Arts had power worthy of being called a masterpiece, but simply swinging it wouldn’t destroy the training room.

Celestial Light (天光), Moonless (無月), Wide Moon (廣月), Endless (無窮), Light Dragon (光龍).

Something was different.

It was definitely a form I had performed countless times, but there was a fundamental difference. There was no obstruction in the direction the sword moved, and the flow of energy was incredibly stable.

‘Is it because of the sword aura?’

The Immaculate Sword Arts were basically swordsmanship based on handling sword aura. Now that I could handle sword aura, it was only natural that it would unleash its true power.

I wanted to devote myself to training for a while, but I didn’t know how much time had passed since I entered the training room.

I should at least let them know I’m alive.

Just as I was about to take out my phone habitually,

“Keuek?!”

I collapsed, feeling a burning sensation piercing my left eye.

Sizzle-

Hot. It was incredibly hot.

It felt like someone was branding my eyeball with a hot iron. I endured it, resisting the urge to writhe pathetically.

Of course, that didn’t mean I was just standing still.

A massive amount of inner energy spread from the half-opened Governing and Conception Vessels to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Thanks to that, the pain gradually subsided.

“Haa, haa, haa…”

Before long, even the slightest heat disappeared.

Ting-

[You have successfully absorbed the essence of Biresiel.]
[You have acquired the ‘Eye of Time’.]
[Eye of Time
Rank: Epic
The demonic eye of the ancient archdemon, Biresiel.
Allows you to see a short future.
You can turn back time at the cost of your eyesight.]

With the screen appearing before my eyes, I closed them.

I think I need to rest for a while.

***

It had been a full two days when I left the training room. No wonder I was hungry.

I didn’t mind because it was something I had expected. At first, I thought it would take up to a week.

“Hyunwoo, are you okay?”

A pure white tail swaying gently entered my sight as I lay leisurely on the bed.

It was Jeon Seoha.

I got up and put my hands under Jeon Seoha’s armpits and lifted her up. Unfortunately, she didn’t stretch out.

I hugged her in my arms and lay back down on the bed. She was soft and warm, and the pleasant nutty scent made me feel sleepy.

My hands mainly stayed near her tail, ears, thighs, and butt. Jeon Seoha seemed to like the touch, humming in my arms.

She probably doesn’t know it, though.

‘This is healing.’

The reason why I was lazing around in bed even in the middle of the day was simple.

Because I wanted to rest.

It was a simple but important reason.

Rest was as important as training. Besides, I hadn’t been lying down for long. At most, I woke up in the morning and rested for about 4 hours?

“You two are really lovey-dovey.”

Noel, who had lost at rock-paper-scissors and came after doing the dishes, showed her face.

“You lie down here too.”

When I slightly lifted the blanket, Noel lay down next to me as if she had been waiting for it, wrapped her arms around me, and stuck close.

Thanks to that, I only had one arm left, but it was enough to stroke Jeon Seoha.

“By the way, it’s amazing every time I see it. You said it was a demonic eye? There were many myths related to demons where I lived, but I’ve never heard of a demonic eye.”
“I’m thinking of wearing lenses because it’s too noticeable. I’m not a middle schooler.”
“What’s wrong with it? I think it’s cool.”

As a reward for successfully taking Biresiel’s essence, a strange pattern was engraved on my left eye.

Eye of Time.

Unlike its fancy appearance, its performance was real.

It allows me to see the future for about 1 to 2 seconds. The problem is that it consumes a lot of magic power and causes extreme burning pain in the eye after use.

Even considering those disadvantages, it was still an incredibly overpowered ability.

There was also the ability to turn back time at the cost of eyesight, but I probably won’t ever use it.

I’m not a pirate, and being one-eyed is a bit…

“But then, is Master now S-class?”
“Well…”
“Even though you can create an Aura Blade? I still can’t make that.”
“That’s true, but Seoha can also create sword aura.”

In my opinion, Jeon Seoha’s skill was at the top of A-class.

Could I beat her now without magic?

The thought was brief.

‘I can.’

Before, I would have been pushed back in pure skill. The inherent difference, as well as the difference between sword energy and sword aura, was clear.

But not anymore. I had reached the level of transcending excellence, allowing me to handle sword aura, and my mastery of the Immaculate Vajra Arts had also increased. I would be able to reach 5-star soon.

For reference, the Immaculate Sword Arts had reached 6-star.

I didn’t think I would be pushed back by Jeon Seoha even without magic now. If I dragged it into a long fight, there would be nothing more to consider.

But if you asked me if I was at the level of an S-class hunter, it would be a bit ambiguous.

I had met a total of 3 S-class hunters or those with comparable skills so far.

The branch manager of the association, also known as the Iron Man, Kang Cheolho.

The head of the Jin Ryu Han family and the master of the Gray Magic Tower, Han Ra-el.

Finally, Duke Henry Abercrombie Rutland.

Could I beat them?

The conclusion was ‘I don’t know.’

‘I think you have to be at Hwagyeong or a mid-level 6-circle mage to be called S-class.’

Of course, not all S-class were at a similar level.

In the first place, the area of ​​immeasurable power is called S-class. This applies not only to people, but also to magical beasts and gates.

“Am I barely scraping by as an S-class…?”
“You’re being too harsh on yourself.”
“Rather than that, I’m just not sure. I think I’ll know if I fight an S-class hunter with all my power.”

Or fight an S-class magical beast.

Either way, it was impossible right now. An S-class hunter wouldn’t fight me, and to catch an S-class magical beast, I would have to enter at least an A+ class gate.

There were no gates of that level in Korea, so I would have to go abroad, but I didn’t have time for that right now.

“Hyunwoo, would you like to spar with me then?”
“Next time.”

I slightly raised my head and kissed Jeon Seoha lightly.

“I have somewhere to go today.”

***

Now that I had reached the level of transcending excellence, there was no need to pretend to be a 2-circle mage anymore.

It was fine as it was, but instead of waiting for the day when it would be revealed, I thought it would be better to reveal it myself first.

In that sense, a verification ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Magic Tower in two days, with the presence of the Magic Tower Master Han Ra-el and the professors.

If I prove my skills there, I will officially become a 5-circle mage.

After that, things will probably start to get really noisy.

Whether it’s the magic world, the Hunter Association, a company, or the government.

5-circle mages are rare around the world. Even more so if they are battle mages who specialize in combat rather than research.

Moreover, if the story spreads that I learned magic on my own and reached 5-circle in just one year, the situation will become increasingly heated.

Anyone can see that I have talent that surpasses the Master of the Gray Magic Tower, Han Ra-el.

‘In reality, I didn’t learn it on my own, and it hasn’t even been half a year since I learned it, but there’s no need to tell them everything.’

At first, most people won’t believe it. They will accuse me of being a fraud.

But since the Seongbuk Choi family, one of the magic families, is supporting me, they will eventually have no choice but to believe it.

If that happens, there will be quite a few places that will try to win me over. If that doesn’t work, there will be places that will commit extreme acts such as kidnapping or assassination.

Cut the grass and pull out the roots (剪草除根).

Of course, you might think it’s an overreaction. But people should always assume the worst and be aware of it.

Otherwise, you will only be helpless.

Ting-

When I opened the door and went inside, I saw a familiar face.

“You’re a little late.”

It was Lumina’s grandmother and the 1st class alchemist Marna Hirkus, who I had commissioned to create an antidote for Cheon Yeohwa.

I glanced around the store.

It was so deserted that it was hard to believe that it was run by the Golden Marna, who was said to be the best alchemist in the world.

“I’m sorry.”

I bowed lightly.

It wasn’t exactly a voice blaming me. It was like the playfulness unique to the elderly.

But I was slightly embarrassed by what she said next.

“The next Magic Tower Master shouldn’t be so light-headed.”
“Yes?”

The pupils hidden beneath her half-closed eyelids turned towards me.

I felt it last time too, but it was a strangely unsettling gaze. Should I say it felt like she was seeing through me?

“4-circle… no, 5-circle at that age? Even the eldest daughter of the Han family wasn’t that good, you’re really amazing.”

Marna Hirkus smiled as if she had found something interesting to see.

After that, she went into the warehouse inside the store and came out with a small water bottle in her hand.

“Take it.”

I snatched the water bottle she threw carelessly.

I swallowed hard as I looked at the shimmering green liquid.

“Could it be…”

Marna Hirkus nodded.

“He was a terrible one. Not only did he disrupt the energy, but he also corroded the poisoned person’s True Origin (眞元). Fortunately, there was still a Charyun flower left, otherwise…”

From the moment I saw the antidote, I couldn’t hear her voice.

My head was filled with only one thought.

‘Ma Paeseon.’

I wanted to break down the wall that was blocking me right now and meet Cheon Yeohwa right away.

But the more I did that, the more impatient I shouldn’t be. The one I’m trying to hunt now isn’t a roe deer, a weasel, or a wild boar.

It’s San-gun, who will bite even the hunter’s throat who came to hunt him.

“Thank you.”

I bowed politely.

I never imagined things would work out this well. In the worst case, I would have had to pay billions to get an elixir, or meet the Saint again and receive the highest-grade holy water.

“How much is it?”

I had enough cash because I had recently sold some of the gold bars and jewels I had taken from Count Hessler’s underground vault to the Seongbuk Choi family.

Marna Hirkus waved her hand.

“I don’t need money, so just take it.”
“…Yes?”

I doubted my ears for a moment.

As far as I knew, the commission fee for a 1st class alchemist started at at least hundreds of millions of won. If it was to create a new antidote that didn’t exist before, I expected it to cost at least tens of billions.

But she’s telling me to just take it?

“Even so, I can’t just take it for free…”
“Don’t worry. It’s not free.”
“?”

Marna Hirkus raised the corners of her lips.

“I won’t take the price, so think of it as a debt. It will be convenient in many ways to owe a debt to the next Magic Tower Master.”

I was dumbfounded and let out a laugh.

As expected, she was a grandmother who had nothing in common with Lumina except for the horns on her head.

“Besides, I feel guilty about selling an incomplete antidote for a fair price.”

I tilted my head at her next words.

Incomplete?

“I need unicorn fluid, but I can’t find it. It seems like you’ll have to find it yourself, and there are several summoning professors at the Gray Magic Tower, so it would be good to ask for their help.”

Unicorn fluid.

It was definitely a material that even a 1st class alchemist like Marna Hirkus would have a hard time finding.

That’s because the fluid she was talking about didn’t simply mean blood or saliva.

She was talking about the unicorn’s love fluid or semen that had reached estrus.

At that moment, the hand that dragged me into the classroom and the light purple hair that fluttered in the wind flashed through my mind.

‘…Why does it have to be unicorn fluid of all things.’

I swallowed a sigh inwardly.

As expected, nothing is ever easy.
