Chapter 334 – Chapter 334. Scarlet Light
Prison-
Kung-
It feels like the world is spinning.
I was hugged by something warm and rolled across the ground.
“Ah, ah…”
I groaned involuntarily.
I still had headaches and dizziness, but I could see that something soft was covering my face.
“Lee, Lee Ho-yeon!”
“Baby daddy!”
As the dizziness subsided, I began to hear sounds around me.
‘… What is this?’
I remember the centaur’s magic attacking me….
What is this covering my face right now?
“Stop! Centaur comes first! Team 1 leader! Rebecca-san!”
“… Yes!”
“Open the magic circle. Help me!”
I could hear the voices of Isaac, Irene and Rebecca.
I thought it was the centaur’s last outburst, but fortunately, it was an atmosphere that succeeded in subduing it.
I hope you succeed. I’m so damn tired
I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep.
… Wait a moment.
‘Why am I alive?’
Even if you’re alive, you have to wake up in the hospital room. Why are you still fighting?
Besides, that last attack wasn’t unavoidable….
– Wake up! You idiot! Scout is going to die!
“… What?”
Liliana’s words brought her to her senses.
What are you talking about.
Why is Scarlett suddenly dying?
I freed my head from something soft covering my face.
And only then did I find out its identity.
“… Scarlett?”
“Really… They said don’t come if you’re tired. A stuffy person.”
“You, you… Hey. Are you okay? Scarlett!”
– Scout! No, your back is on fire!
Scarlett’s condition was serious.
The front side that held me was safe, but the back panel had a texture like the ground where lava passed through.
It seemed that the suit had melted along with the skin underneath.
“Oh, that’s annoying… It just hurts.”
Scarlett frowned and pursed her lips.
Her tone was the same as usual, but the color on her face was disappearing.
“Treatment, you don’t need treatment! Here! Give me first aid!”
I screamed at the tracking team.
It seemed that he hadn’t quite grasped the situation on the other side yet.
Because of the magic of the centaur, it was because they were far away.
“Scarlett! Are you okay?”
Then, a startled voice was heard.
Turning her head, she saw Alice with her eyes wide open.
I don’t know when she came. Did you come to help me with Scarlett when I was attacked?
“Ellis! Call someone who can give first aid.”
“Ah, I see.”
“It’s okay, young lady. Even her lungs seem to have been destroyed. Even the saintess will not survive unless she comes.”
– Scout! Hoyeon Lee! Try to survive somehow!
“… I want to do that too.”
Certainly, Scarlett’s wounds looked severe.
Because her first aid was nabal and her back completely melted.
“Kheuk, this hurts so much. I just greeted him instead. Heuh…”
Tuk-
“Scarlet, Scarlet!”
Her Scarlett’s neck snapped, and I quickly examined her Scarlett’s body.
I think I passed out from shock from the great pain, but if I leave it like this, I will really die.
“Ellis. What about the medical team?”
“All the tracking team can do is first aid. Maybe wait five minutes and the medical team will come!”
“… Late.”
Perong!
At that time, Liliana, who had been transformed into her necklace, clung to Scarlett.
“Scout! Wake up! Scout! Wake up!”
“Hey, Liliana! You’re…”
“What, what is this. Where is this person all of a sudden…”
“… Ha. Alice. I’ll explain everything later.”
She was embarrassed by Liliana’s sudden jump, but she couldn’t say anything when she saw the tears in Liliana’s eyes.
‘They said it would take 5 minutes for the medical team to arrive.’
What is 5 minutes Judging by Scarlett’s condition, there shouldn’t be one more delay here.
You have to do what you can right now.
I opened the rune’s barrier.
To avoid showing Liliana to her tracking team and Isaac.
Then, healing magic emanated from her hand.
“Ho, Hoyeonah. Can you heal?”
“… Gwa, are you okay? Can I buy a Scout?”
“Hold on. I’ll focus a little bit. Elise, don’t let people come near you from outside.”
“… Yes.”
“Liliana, you go back to the necklace. Don’t worry about Scarlett.”
“Ah, okay.”
Healing magic learned from Baek Ah-young over her shoulder.
No matter how roughly I learned it, thanks to my talent, I was confident that I could use it better than most healers.
It can definitely play a role as an emergency measure.
However, contrary to expectations, it did not work for Scarlett.
It was because the centaur’s undying magic was gradually increasing the wound.
No matter how much mana he poured, the speed at which the mana burned his body was faster than the healing speed.
I wouldn’t know if I had as much talent as Baek Ah-young, but I wasn’t a saint.
‘What should I do?’
I went into a state of high concentration.
I had to think of another way.
How to stop the magic burning Scarlett’s body and heal her at the same time.
‘… Can’t we just do it at the same time?’
What I needed now wasn’t Baek Ah-yeong’s healing magic.
Rather, it is the extreme of the barrier of the rune that Rebecca showed.
Magic that can be used if you completely control the rune’s barrier, to turn back time.
The magic that restored the broken dormitory is still vivid in my memory.
“… If you don’t do it, there’s nothing you can’t do with the mindset that you’ll die.”
Of course, you can’t bring back the creature, but you can’t lose Scarlett like this.
I never asked for help from this cheeky woman, because she did.
I have to return it as is.
I’ll never see you die leaving only guilt behind.
Thump – thump –
I released mana through my whole body.
In order to use the ultimate effect of the Rune’s Barrier, you must completely dominate the Rune’s Barrier.
But I didn’t have the same level of proficiency as Rebecca, and I didn’t have enough time to master the rune’s barrier right away.
Moreover, it was impossible to create magic that deviated from nature’s logic of turning back the time of life, no matter how talented I was.
Even if I tried, it would take a lot of time.
So what you need to do is trick.
Instead of turning back time, it uses a method of stopping.
I started to fill the inside of the rune’s barrier with my magic.
The attribute given to magic is ‘deceleration’, not ‘acceleration’.
It slows down the surroundings, and slows them down again.
There is magic in everything in the world.
It is magic that makes up Scarlett’s body.
To stop all magical power in a space.
It would be impossible if there were many other obstacles, but the only thing that exists in the barrier is Scarlet, whose life’s flame is extinguished.
There was no resistance, so I could do anything.
I filled the space by manipulating my magic.
The extreme use of mana to the extent that the entire body tingles.
It was quite a burden to do now when I was tired, but I couldn’t stop here.
A little slower.
A little more.
More.
It was a good experience to massage Elise’s body.
It was meticulously filled with magic power that has the property of ‘slowing down’ so that there were no leftovers in the entire space.
After a while, it completely took over the inside of the rune’s barrier.
It was difficult to control the entire space no matter how much there was a barrier of runes, so it should be seen that time flows at a very slow pace rather than stopped.
That was enough.
From now on, it’s a real fight against concentration.
He separated the centaur’s mana that had penetrated into Scarlett’s body.
Because the pace was slow, the difficulty of the task itself was much easier.
And poured healing magic into the empty seat.
Spreading the magic of ‘slowing down’ throughout space to keep it strong, and using healing magic on Scarlett.
It is not a matter of double casting or triple casting.
It had to move as if it had become one body with magic power.
‘… You can do it.’
My talent.
And the experience accumulated so far.
I felt fortunate that I had been practicing magic every day to win against Im Sol.
Sting-
As much as I used tremendous magical power, my body wasn’t normal either.
I screamed as if every cell in my body would break at any moment, but I clenched my teeth as I watched Scarlett’s back heal little by little.
*
Quaang- Paang-
Scarlett felt a warm touch.
Apparently, I was trying to push Lee Ho-yeon away, but I got hit instead, and I think I lost my mind in the tremendous pain of burning my lungs….
“Scarlett?! Are you okay?”
Familiar voice.
It was the voice of the man he saved.
Scarlett carefully opened her eyes.
She saw Lee Ho-yeon looking down at her with her bloodshot eyes.
I don’t know the exact situation, but I still felt the heat in my back and chest.
Being attacked is not a dream.
Her wounds were not something that could be bought.
I could feel the burning sensation in my internal organs.
For the Iris Guild’s healing team to arrive, five minutes at the shortest.
There was no chance of survival.
I wonder if this is a retrograde counterbalance?
Maybe it’s time to say goodbye.
Scarlett opened her mouth, looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s worried eyes.
“Scarlet Light.”
“Uh?”
To the man who answered stupidly, Scarlett spoke a little more clearly.
“‘Scarlett Light’. My full name. I haven’t asked you yet. You ignorant person.”
“…Scarlet Light.”
“Yeah. I must remember. It’s the last time… I wanted to say hello to Liliana-sama too…”
Ha.
Scarlett closed her eyes.
Dog life.
She tried to live like a stubborn woman and try to have some success, but in the end, she had her nose pierced by a man and she thought she would end up like this.
She wasn’t bad though.
Because she enjoyed the short time she spent with Lee Ho-yeon and Liliana rather than the success she had while in the Iris Guild.
‘… Not bad, damn.’
She wanted to live a little longer.
He worked hard for his lifelong success in training, entered the Iris Guild and achieved the success everyone wanted, but the recent months have been much more enjoyable than that time.
I wanted to continue this funny, bizarre, and enjoyable life that I had never experienced before.
A trashy, but oddly attracted man.
I wondered what this man would do next.
It was quite fun to watch it from the side.
Of course, he didn’t like being treated unromantically towards him… That, too, was quite attractive.
The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it.
A little bit.
I wish I could give you a little more time….
Scarlett was breathing hard.
Right before her death, they say that her life so far passes like a kaleidoscope, but it must have been a lie.
You are so calm.
Quaang-!
“What about the centaur?!”
“You guys take care of the wounded! The team leader level takes care of the centaur.”
“…”
The familiar voice of the guild member of the tracking team and the charismatic voice of the guild leader that I have heard thousands of times.
Other than that, the sound of shoes stepping on the ground and the sound of shouting about hard work.
Scarlett thought as she listened to the noisy surroundings.
‘What?’
Why are you so conscious?
Scarlett felt strange, and she recognized the awkwardness as soon as she became aware of it.
I no longer felt the heat in my back.
I thought my pain cells were paralyzed because it was so painful, but I could feel the unique coldness coming up from the ground.
It’s like lying on the ground with your eyes closed….
“Scarlet Light.”
“…”
“Get up now. I have to go back.”
Scarlett slowly opened her eyes.
The man who barely survived by throwing himself earlier was looking down at him wriggling his lips.
From my experience so far.
That’s 100 percent holding back a smile.
“…Why am I alive?”
“Whoever wants to die. There are still dozens of years left in the contract period. Scarlett Light.”
“…”
It seems that he has survived.
… Why?
Obviously burning my lungs was painful enough to kill me.
It’s strange.
You can’t survive!
I thought it was the last time and said a cool goodbye!
Scarlett pushed Lee Ho-yeon’s body out of shame and tried to run away, but her body wasn’t normal yet.
As soon as I raised her arm, she felt a tingling sensation in her back as if electricity were running through it.
“Uh huh. If you move now, it will hurt.”
“Keep it off…”
Scarlett looked at Lee Ho-yeon, squinting at the pain she felt.
He wasn’t even trying to hold back his laughter.
“I’ll never forget. Scarlet Light.”
“…Just kill me, please.”
“Scarlett Light. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Liliana later.”
“Huh…”
Lee Ho-yeon smiles while waving a chain necklace with the people approaching.
Scarlett thought it would be better if she fainted.
