Chapter 803 – 803. Metamorphosis (3)
The work of the metamorphosis itself was very simple.
While Eun-hyeon’s body, which had degenerated into a boy, grows again due to the forced growth promotion medicine created by combining dozens of magical reagents, the balance of the growing body is adjusted using the magic circle drawn in advance around the bathtub. .
If you make a mistake, if the innermost internal organs grow unexpectedly faster than the outer skin or skeleton, the balance of the body collapses and you cease to be human from that point on.
Illyana’s role was to regulate the growth of the entire body evenly, but it was easily expressed only in words, and the task itself was not at the level of a normal wizard.
Knowing all the structures of the human body, including the skin and skeleton, which have the largest frame of the body, as well as the muscles and nerves of the whole body, and each small blood vessel, and managing hundreds and thousands of elements so that they grow uniformly, how is it? Can it be easy
No matter how high-ranking wizards who possess exceptional status in the field of magic, it is impossible to handle the huge amount of calculations for dozens of people, and it is impossible unless they understand the entire structure of the human body.
So, Illyana learned everything about anthropology from Eun-hyeon for a month while preparing for her metamorphosis.
-… Crazy year.
It was only natural that Nera reacted with disgust upon hearing the story.
As she studied pharmacy along with alchemy, she naturally took several years to master the knowledge of anthropology. The absurdity of “The Absurdity” Was a feeling everyone felt.
However, from Nera’s point of view, it was Eunhyeon who was more ridiculous than Illyana.
The decisive reason Illyana was able to acquire all the knowledge of her anthropology was that she had a great teacher who taught her that knowledge.
– What the hell are you?
Although she is not a wizard, she possesses expert-level knowledge in fields related to magic, and even has deep proficiency in various fields such as alchemy, pharmacy, and anthropology.
The more I got to know him, the more mysterious the man named Eunhyun was.
Based on the knowledge of anthropology she mastered, Illyana was now reconstructing Eunhyun’s body.
Ugh
As if responding to the magic circle activated by injecting magic power, the magic reagent in the bathtub containing Eunhyeon’s young body reacted and emitted blue light.
“I will activate the barrier.”
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Holy Sanctuary]
Eleanor, who came to the workshop belatedly, immediately opened a small barrier around Eun-hyeon and the bathtub.
Her barrier is a divine barrier that envelops a designated area with divine power and bestows blessings.
As the area was limited to Eunhyeon and narrowed, it was a barrier that gathered high-quality divinity and maximized its effectiveness and efficiency.
Divine light flowing from the tears of the goddess, the medium and power source of the barrier, fills the inside of the barrier.
Currently, Eun-hyeon’s body is forcibly growing, contrary to how she was originally young.
The process entails more pain than regression.
When bones are broken and muscles are torn, the human body recovers and becomes stronger and stronger.
Eun-hyeon’s body, which is forcibly growing with magic reagent, is repeatedly injured, and Eleanor’s sacred barrier continues to restore the damaged Eun-hyeon’s body.
In fact, the theory was established, but this is the reason why Nera did not actually try this metamorphosis.
In the process of reconstructing the body, repeated collapse and restoration are essential elements, but the speed of restoration cannot catch up with the speed of collapse.
In the end, not being able to avoid the end of the body collapsing was a fatal flaw, but if Eleanor, who was called the next saint, had the highest barrier, it could make up for that shortcoming.
It was an ignorant way to just press down with divine power, but there was no method as reliable as this.
As she repeated damage and recovery, Eunhyun’s body grew rapidly.
The skeletal structure that made up her body was getting bigger and her muscles and internal organs were growing rapidly.
Slowly, each blood vessel in the body is reconstructed through fine tuning so that there are no side effects.
And in the process, Illyana passed on to the second stage of this metamorphosis.
“Lily. Bring it.”
“Yes. Lady.”
As if Lily had been waiting, she brought out a bowl of fruit from the World Tree.
Illyana picked up the fruit of the World Tree and tossed it into the bath where Eunhyun’s body was contained.
The fruit of the World Tree that came in contact with the mixed magic reagent hot water was gradually melted and absorbed.
The power contained in the fruit of the World Tree flowed into Eun-hyeon’s body in the bathtub.
“… Indeed.”
Illyana, who was concentrating on reconstructing Eunhyeon’s body, admired it.
The energy of the World Tree, which permeated through the skin and quickly began to settle in the body, was very neat and clean.
It was the first time since Erinn’s magic that he had experienced such clean and refreshing magic.
Just by existing in Eunhyeon’s body, the power of the world tree was strengthening Eunhyeon’s body.
As soon as it settles in the danjeon, it rapidly spreads throughout the blood vessels throughout the body, breaking through the clogged blood vessels and improving the overall body’s ability.
The effect of forcibly improving the limits of Eun-hyeon’s body specs and talents, which were congenitally average or less than the average person, was worthy of being praised as the best elixir.
“Nice… Ugh!”
Eun-hyeon, who was in the bathtub, convulsed and groaned.
“M-madam!? Master… !”
“Are you okay. Of course.”
Although unconscious, bodily sensations are alive and well.
In a way, it is only natural that we are going through all the growing pains that we have to go through decades before becoming an adult in just a few hours.
Seeing Eunhyeon’s distorted expression, Lily was taken aback, but Illyana and Eleanor were prepared for this in advance.
Of course, not all of them could understand this.
[Still, if the opportunity comes, I should make sure. Because there’s a lot to be gained from this. I hope you both can help.]
“That shit stubbornness is real.”
Once a decision has been made, who can stop the stubbornness of recklessly pushing ahead?
“It must be that the baby is so stubborn because he resembles him.”
It is not an exaggeration to say that what happened is exactly the same as her pupil and her wife, Erin’s disposition.
“Ha. I hope Ilaina isn’t this tall.”
Illyana let out a sigh while maintaining her calculations and not losing focus on Eunhyun’s body reconstruction.
It was a risky task that could lead to the collapse of Eun-hyeon’s body or deformed results that deviated from the normal human frame if done wrong, but despite Eun-hyeon’s belief, this task seemed unlikely to fail.
Seeing Illyana, who seemed to be able to afford even in this situation where she could handle the amount of calculation she could not handle even if dozens of normal wizards were brought in, Eleanor smiled while maintaining her barrier.
“Whoops.”
“What is funny?”
“No. It’s nothing.”
“… Hmm.”
Illyana glanced at Eleanor once more, then focused again on her eunhyeon metamorphosis.
The reason Eleanor, who was watching the scene, smiled was because Illyana was no different from Eunhyeon or Erin.
Eunhyeon also sighed once or twice because it was so hard to break Iliana’s stubbornness.
When I thought that these parts resembled each other, laughter naturally flowed out.
“Concentrate.”
“Yes. Sorry.”
It was more like Illyana’s way of venting her anger, but Eleanor rather smiled and nodded her head pleasantly.
Certainly, it is Illyana who is working on the enormous calculation load, and although Eleanor is working hard to maintain her barrier, it is undeniable that it is an important task that she must not relax.
Illyana and Eleanor devoted all their attention to maintaining the magic circle and barrier until Eunhyun’s body was completely transformed and completely reconstructed beyond the limits of her talent and specifications.
“… Lady. I will prepare the food.”
“Huh. Please.”
Illyana estimated that it would take one week for Eunhyeon to complete her metamorphosis.
That would mean she couldn’t get out of this position during that one week’s time.
Lily also did her best in her role to take care of Illyana and Eleanor’s condition even a little bit.
◆ ◆ ◆
The middle of the palace full of dark silence.
Ray Nann, who was sitting on her tumbled throne and resting her chin on her, slowly opened her eyes.
[Finished.]
Inside her languid body, the remnants of her turbid magic that were being captured were shaking violently, announcing her own existence.
It was a signal to start.
In the decisive battle with Gerard, who used the thunderbolt of the divine beast, she recovered her body, which suffered near-fatal damage, and rather accepted the power of the devil and transcended human limits.
Today’s Ray Nann retains a human exterior, but she is not human on the inside.
The body, which once experienced side effects from accepting excessive demonic power, succeeded in evolving after completing the adaptation.
It would be more accurate to say that he is a demon rather than a human.
“… Is it finally?”
During that time, she slaughtered many humans and ate their souls.
The demonic power possessed in his body savors and devouring the human soul as a delicacy, gradually increasing her turbid power.
[Do you regret it?]
A demon possessing a body and living as a parasite.
Belphegor spoke to me.
“… No.”
Raynan’s answer to the devil’s question he had asked over and over again was the same over and over again.
He handed over not only his body but also parts of his soul to the devil, slaughtered humans like himself, and now plunged many nations into destruction.
Her beginning was to avenge the kingdom of Rendir, which tried to kill her by trapping her and purged her family.
The revenge was successful.
The kingdom of Rendir was destroyed, and all the people living in the land were killed, absorbing their souls, and making them their own.
Not only the royal family and nobles who are the target of revenge, but also all the people of the kingdom with whom they had no connection.
The reason why she slaughtered all the people of the kingdom, who had no connection to it, was simple.
Because Raynan hated humans and gave up on humans.
So, the devil’s question about whether or not he had any regrets was ridiculous.
“Still… The voices of my wife and children are heard in my dreams.”
The terrible screams of the family begging for help, pouring bloody tears.
Every night in his dreams, he gnawed at Raynan’s feelings and tormented him.
But the world was so peaceful.
The war is over and the kingdom has regained peace, and seeing people laughing and enjoying their daily lives there was poison to Reynon.
This world without her wife and children was hell for Raynan.
But how can they laugh and live happily in this hell?
I am living day by day feeling the pain of being ripped out of my heart, and people in this world are laughing and enjoying happiness.
In this hell
For what purpose did he fight to the death in the war and make efforts to regain peace?
To give them laughter and happiness?
No.
It was because he wanted to create a world where his wife, children and his family could enjoy a happy daily life with a smile.
But where on earth are his family, who are supposed to enjoy the happiness of this world?
The screams of her wife and children who disappeared without a trace, let alone a will, came to Raynan’s dreams every night and gnawed at his emotions. All the humans on this continent who are living a happy life, Raynan hates them. It was embarrassing.
So there was no hesitation in killing them all and absorbing their souls.
What has already begun cannot be undone.
Regret had never even been thought of by RayNun, and she ran only looking in front of her.
At the end of it is destruction.
Raynan was walking toward the abyss on his own.
“… It’s about time.”
Ray Nann slowly rose from her crumbling throne.
The indolent night of repeating endless waiting with energy was over.
It was time to start a real war.
[Kuhk, I’m looking forward to it. So where are you going to destroy this time?]
“Illyana said so. If you’re going to start a war in earnest, you have to start with the most annoying places first. I agree too.”
[Annoying place?]
“A place full of wizards, the most troublesome race. Hit the mage tower.”
