Chapter 1042 – (Side Story)20. A Witch’s First Love (17)
“This… The effect of the elixir… ?”
Illyana couldn’t help but be amazed.
The result of completely separating the cold air through the magic circle and absorbing all the pure essence of magical power.
It was because he felt her enormous magical power shaking his body.
This magical power, which easily exceeds her own talent, which she was born with, seems to fill the contents with her calm glass cup in an instant and overflow.
This is absolutely not an amount that an ordinary human can handle.
If you make a mistake, the vessel containing the magic power is so enormous that the glass cup itself will overflow and break.
“That guy was right…”
Illyana recalled the words she heard from her Eunhyeon.
She denied that she would not be able to fully accept the essence of magic contained within the elixir.
But Eunhyeon was confident that she could do it.
‘You can do it. Because he’s a genius.’
Her words may have sounded irresponsible, like a joke, but there was a certain confidence in Eunhyeon’s words.
She is not just betting on the vague possibility that she is a genius or that she possesses talent as a magician.
Illyana felt overwhelmed by the look in his eyes as he spoke with a certain confidence and basis.
On what basis and conviction did she believe in her own potential?
“Ah.”
Illyana came out of her thoughts and immediately left the cave.
Now was not the time to harbor such thoughts and questions.
“Oh, employer lady. Came out… Huh?”
The adventurers who were guarding her entrance until Illyana’s elixir absorption was completed found her and spoke to her, but they could not finish.
This is because she felt a very different atmosphere than when she first entered the cave.
The neat magical energy flowing from her body dominates the space.
Unable to adapt to the sudden increase in magical power, the refined magical power of the elixir that was not yet stored makes the surroundings of her solemn.
All the adventurers felt it instinctively.
This woman in front of me, a beginner wizard who has just begun to experience the outside world, has something different about her.
At least, it is a fundamental difference from the wizards they know who are active in the adventurer guild.
Although she is a beginner magician without the experience and experience of a veteran, the density of her magic power is far from being able to easily surpass that of a magician of the highest rank.
Is it possible to grow to this level just by taking one elixir?
A silence settles among the adventurers due to shock, bewilderment, and confusion.
Of course, this method, which was able to absorb the pure magic power of perennial snow ginseng without any waste, is different from the elixir processing method disclosed to the public and boasts ridiculous efficiency.
There was no way that adventurers would have known about this series of processes, which were the domain of wizards and alchemists.
It was just that acceptance was delayed due to the embarrassment caused by rapid growth and change.
“Really, is this your employer’s wife?”
“That’s right.”
Illyana calmly nodded her head.
The adventurers’ reactions of doubt and surprise are understandable.
Even I couldn’t believe this rapid growth.
“…”
It felt strange.
This is because the distant growth was not achieved solely through one’s own efforts and skills.
As Illyana, who had always grown so far through her own efforts, she felt as if she had been denied the time and effort she had put into it.
It’s not that she didn’t try.
As she climbed this snowy mountain for several days, she almost died from an avalanche, and it is safe to say that she has experienced all the hardships of her life.
But if she asked herself if she had achieved this through her own efforts, she could not answer yes.
She was just lucky.
She just met Giyeon.
Meeting a man named Eunhyeon felt like her life had changed.
‘Do you believe it? Genius wizard.’
Illyana recalled Eunhyeon’s words again.
I missed you.
I wanted to go meet the man who would change my life right now.
In order to do that, there was something that had to be done.
“We have to get rid of that first.”
At the foot of her snowy mountain, Illyana unleashed her own magic as she saw a huge demonic beast engaged in a fierce battle with a single human.
◆ ◆ ◆
The magic that Eunhyeon requested from Illyana was not that grand.
No matter how much she absorbed the elixir of the Perennial Snow Mountain and took even the slightest loss of its magic essence, even if she absorbed all the essence of the snow mountain that spanned ten thousand years, the current Illyana is still a student at the Magic Tower who has not yet been given a place. .
The understanding and capabilities of her techniques are still beyond the scope of her students.
Considering her talent and capabilities, she may be able to use double-digit magic, but it is difficult to defeat the Yeti, who is the master of the snowy mountain, with only that level of magic.
Therefore, the magic that Eunhyun requested from Illyana was only in the double digits.
Specifically, freezing magic with mass.
However, the freezing magic realized on the top of the snowy mountain easily surpasses double-digit capacity.
[Four-digit sub-magic]
[Blizzard Hammer]
It even easily surpasses the four-digit range.
Perhaps, the environment of this snowy mountain was used to create a frozen sculpture with such tremendous coldness.
In the surrounding snowstorm, the power of that attribute is further increased by gathering all the freezing properties contained in the cold, frozen climate and concentrating them on one point.
A magic of conversion that was manifested by taking advantage of the environment, as if to oppose the situation of ‘This level of water attribute magic in a place where there is no water!?’
“Anyway, that’s true. How can you use that level of magic right away?”
Eunhyeon stuck out his tongue as he looked at the size of the ice hammer floating in the sky.
After all, a genius is a genius?
“Elysia. Your descendants must have been born with talent along with their blood.”
He mutters, remembering his benefactor who taught him the ancient legacy of gem amplification magic.
The moment she first saw her in the alleyways of her city, she knew immediately that she was her descendant.
Her decision to help her wasn’t for such a grand reason.
Because he was a descendant of his benefactor.
Even though she was prepared to die, he took her newborn baby into his care and entrusted it to someone he could trust so that the baby could grow up happily.
Hundreds of years later, when Eunhyeon saw Illyana again, who inherited the blood of her benefactor, a witch, she was happy and happy.
She wanted to do something for her, so she willingly accepted the guidance of this snowy mountain expedition.
What would Elysia’s expression look like if she saw Illyana’s growth now?
Did she smile with joy as she watched the talent of her descendants shine brightly?
Eunhyeon couldn’t tell.
All I can do is believe that she will be happy.
This is an extension of the responsibility she must bear.
Her own responsibilities and roles as a witch.
“That’s amazing.”
After dealing with this yeti of hers, I wanted to praise her with pure admiration.
The locked thoughts end, and time, which passes slowly as if stopped by the acceleration of time, returns to normal.
Eunhyeon spoke to the yeti who was staring at the huge ice hammer like herself.
“You try it too. “You bastard.”
It’s as if she’s mocking them, as if she’s retaliating for their actions of intentionally causing an avalanche to kill them all.
Whoa, whoa!
Even though he cannot understand the human’s words, the yeti understands that he is mocking him and roars in anger.
But before the Yeti could reach Eunhyeon, who was close by.
Kwaaaaang!
The huge ice hammer, falling at a frightening speed, hits the Yeti’s body first.
Krr, ahhh!
The crying sound is not a roar that expresses boiling anger, but a roar that complains of pain.
The yeti stumbled as the terrifying impact struck, but it did not fall.
I received the freezing hammer with my whole body, which created an enormous impact in proportion to the speed and mass of the fall.
A huge ice hammer twice the size of the body continues to roll down the snowy mountain thanks to gravity.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo
Even as he slipped and was pushed back by the snow, the Yeti held on to his frozen hammer.
If you lose even a little bit of strength, the mass of the hammer will crush your entire body.
The reason it is desperately holding on is probably due to the enormous original strength of the huge frost giant.
It is similar to the avalanche created by the yeti just now.
The difference is that, unlike the adventurers who desperately ran away, the Yeti desperately fights against this disaster.
As I held on desperately, the falling speed of the Freezing Hammer also decreased.
I vowed that if I could endure it, if I could endure this mass of ice, I would climb up the snowy mountain again and tear people to death.
There was no way Eunhyeon, who had desperately held on with such determination, would leave it alone.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Baekgwangilseom(白光一閃)]
A ray of light is drawn towards the Yeti’s ankles and both her Achilles tendons, which were bearing the tremendous weight and weight of the hammer with great force.
The gap shown by the Yeti who was desperately holding on to avoid falling.
Blood spurted from the Yeti’s feet due to Eunhyeon’s sword strike.
Big, ahhh!
It takes an instant for your legs to lose their balance.
The yeti’s body, unable to withstand the pressure of the hammer pushing from above, ends up rolling on the floor.
Continuing to roll endlessly, the yeti’s body her gradually fell towards the bottom of the snowy mountain, and at the end of it was the cliff where Eunhyeon had jumped off with Illyana in her arms.
And below it was a deep, icy lake.
It is natural for a yeti who has cut her Achilles tendon and cannot stand properly to be pushed by the ice hammer and fall into the lake at the bottom of the cliff.
Pooooo!
A bursting sound as if the air is exploding.
The impact of the huge yeti falling into the lake is conveyed through the sound.
The method chosen by Eunhyeon, who could not be defeated by physical attacks or magic, was ‘asphyxiation.’
The plan to lure and drive the Yeti to the bottom of the snowy mountain where the lake was located was successful.
Urrrr!
But even so, the Yeti did not accept his own demise until the end.
They are struggling to get out of the lake without falling into the deep pit.
The Achilles’ tendon and other parts of his body she were cut, causing continuous bleeding and damage, but the Yeti’s tough vitality her is still struggling to survive.
“I guess I should leave it like that.”
In order to completely kill the yeti who was sinking downward, Eunhyeon took out her the jewel her from his chest her.
As the turquoise-colored gem absorbs Eunhyeon’s magic, it glows increasingly intensely.
[Elysia Gem Amplification]
[December birthstone, turquoise]
Eunhyeon threw the jewel that activated the magic towards the lake.
The moment Eunhyeon’s jewel touched the water that was shaking violently due to the yeti’s rampage.
The snowy mountain lake where ice sheets used to float freezes.
It even blocked the possibility of jumping onto the lake and completely froze the suffocating yeti.
As the frozen lake calms down, a chilly silence settles over the snowy mountain that was once violently shaking.
Eunhyeon confirmed that the demonic beast that ruled the snowy mountain had died.
