Episode 57 The Crow Hunter (2)
―The magical thread connecting the Kobold Lord and Odin’s Crow is breaking!
―Odin’s raven is watching you!
Jaehyun cut off the kobold rod and the magical thread at once.
At the same time, the demon’s body tilted and landed on the floor.
However, Jaehyun remained focused. Not all fights are over yet.
Ummmm…….
The thick mana floating in the air was condensed in his body, creating a vortex of unprecedented scale.
―Impurity of mana builds up in the body.
―……Unclean mana is purified by the user’s pure mana.
―Permanently increases the user’s magic power while in standby by 5%.
Jaehyun, while breaking out in a cold sweat, was careful not to fall into the mana rebound.
Mana rebound is mana that exists in the air, not your own magic. Or, it is because the side effects are more severe when using the magic power of others as a medium.
However, Jaehyun has been working on his mana through sufficient meditation and deep breathing.
for a moment.
Even for a moment, it was not impossible to exceed the limit and use mana.
‘……Success.’
Wooooooo……!
The piercing pain in the lungs and the intense circulation of mana.
However, with this, Jaehyun was able to use more than twice his usual mana.
Of course, it was only an instant, but it didn’t matter to Jaehyun.
It won’t take long to defeat the enemy in front of you.
Already, the crow regenerated the kobold rod and almost exhausted its magic power.
As a result of seeing it through < Magic Detect >, the current reproduction was enough to defeat it.
“……Now, let’s finish it slowly.”
Jaehyun took a deep breath and raised all his mana.
charrrrr!
He got on top of the chain and quickly moved to the center of magic where the thread was connected.
There, the existence that supplied magic power to the Kobold Lord a while ago.
There was Odin’s raven.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!
An eerie voice and a black robe that caught Jaehyun’s eyes.
Jaehyun immediately jumped up and grabbed the crow’s neck.
at the same time.
Quaang!
The high-voltage electric shock wrapped around Jae-hyun’s fist was thrust straight into the crow’s face.
The guy who had already exhausted most of his mana had no means left to resist Jaehyun’s fist.
thud!
The crow bounced a long way in the aftermath of the attack and crashed into a wall.
Turbuck. Turbuck.
Jaehyun approached the crow that had fallen on the floor.
He put his foot on the crow’s head and asked with force.
“What is Odin’s purpose?”
Chia…
Jaehyun frowned and applied magic to his feet.
bang!
With a sound, the ground dented and a small crack with a radius of 2 meters was created.
Jaehyun asked again.
“What is the relationship between Guzain and Odin?”
Aaah…!
Again, no satisfactory answer came back.
Jaehyun’s eyes narrowed.
‘This guy… he has no reason. There’s no point in holding on to it any longer.’
Jaehyun did not hesitate and raised his mana.
and.
Knock down the crow once again.
This time, without mercy in his hands, he was determined to end his breath.
soon
Quaang!
With the sound of the explosion, Odin’s raven became a shadow and scattered.
The body disappeared everywhere, leaving only empty silence in the empty seat.
“Haa…….”
Jaehyun felt a sense of exhaustion as if all his magic was draining out of his body.
The son-in-law trembled nervously and the ground he was standing on shook.
at that time. A refreshing voice.
―You have successfully hunted the first prey of the special quest 《Crow Hunter》.
―Acquired 5 stat points.
―You have acquired 1 blank card.
―Your level has risen by 1.
―Recovers all of the user’s body.
With the last voice heard, the consciousness that had subsided came back clearly.
“Huh…!”
and.
In front of him was Seo In-na with a haggard face who had collapsed with all her magical energy exhausted.
-caution! One of your party members is in critical condition.
―If you do not recover immediately, the designated target will die.
Along with the urgent message, Jaehyun’s eyes narrowed.
* * *
A cavity covered in darkness.
Scattering blood around them, fallen monsters are scattered in an orderly manner.
This is a Class A dungeon created in Gwangalli, Busan.
It is a very difficult place to attack because of the appearance of the A-class beast Troll.
however.
Contrary to expectations, the attacking guild «Scarlett» was on the way to clearing the dungeon without much difficulty.
The reason why they were able to easily attack the dungeon was neither the level of the radar nor the equipment.
existence of only one person.
His presence was devastating the A-class dungeon.
Seong-oh Min.
Jaehyun’s father and one of Korea’s strongest class A raiders.
He was cutting down the trolls with overwhelming force.
After a while.
After the surroundings are tidied up.
The guild master of 《Scarlett》, who was walking earlier, looked back at Min Seong-oh and said.
“Huh…… I think this side is almost organized.”
“It seems so.”
Min Seong-oh replied as he brushed off the blue blood on his sword.
The guild master was a man with a good laugh.
“Thanks to this dungeon raid, it was a smooth ride. I’m not sure why someone like Min Seong-oh Raider didn’t belong to the guild.
With this level of skill, you should be able to choose where you want to go.”
“Thank you for your words.”
Min Seong-oh answered calmly.
The guild master paused for a while before asking a question.
“Uh… do you have any intention of coming to our guild? If it’s Min Seong-oh’s level of radar, I can give you the best treatment.”
“sorry. Still thinking of joining the guild……”
Shocked.
Min Seong-oh’s expression suddenly hardened as he answered.
The guild master tilted his head and asked.
“Raider Min Seong-oh? Do you have any problems…”
“Ah. it’s nothing.”
Min Seong-oh immediately regained his expression and replied.
However, the essence was completely different.
‘One of the crows… is extinct.’
Min Seong-oh knew what that meant.
‘It seems that there is a variable. I’ll have to check it out.’
* * *
“My nerves were almost cut off because of the mana rebound… It’s dangerous at this rate.”
There was no time to rest.
Jaehyun put his index finger on Seo Ina’s wrist to measure her pulse.
condition was serious. A situation so urgent that treatment must be started immediately.
Mana Rebound is a very dangerous disease.
A serious illness that could lead to permanent insensitivity to mana if not treated quickly.
Jaehyun didn’t hesitate.
He immediately raised his magic power and placed his hand on Seo Ina’s forehead.
Geeeee…
Soon, the blue magic in his body turned into a calming green color. The pouring waves of healing slowly begin to spread downward.
―Activate the active skill 《Sacrifice》.
―Recovers the wounds of the designated target.
“Haa… haa…”
About 30 minutes after that.
Her frantic breathing subsided and her complexion stabilized.
“For now, did something happen?”
Jaehyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as if he had just turned around.
I couldn’t let her die in a place like this.
Although he was saved once, it is more important than anything else to judge the situation by continuously looking at the progress.
“It seems that all of the magic nerves are properly connected… The complexion is fine at this level.”
Jaehyun nodded.
All the fragile tissues that seemed to be cut off just a moment ago have found their place. The emergency situation was passed somehow.
‘by the way. It is also 《Sacrifice》. How can you heal mana rebound so easily? As expected, the power of the unique skill is unmatched.’
Mana Rebound.
In other words, mana regurgitation is a disease that is difficult to treat unless you are a professional healing radar.
It is said that there are less than five hospitals in Korea that specialize in this kind of phenomenon, so everyone is aware of the difficulty without explaining it.
However, it seemed that even that was meaningless in front of his unique skill 《Sacrifice》.
‘but. «Sacrifice» is a skill that is rumored to bring the dead back to life. Is this normal?’
Of course, there are some leaps and bounds, but most of the rumors about 《Sacrifice》 were true.
For example, it was like being able to heal multiple people at once with an overwhelming amount of healing.
Also, it was like being able to revive a person who was barely breathing right before he died.
unique skill. Sacrifice.
This was the power of the first skill that Jaehyun copied himself, not God’s arrangement.
……Of course, it was necessary to consume more than 2000 mana to heal Seo Ina, but now, saving her was the priority.
by the way.
‘…Shortly ago, Seo Ina used up all her magical powers to save me. He must have tried to save me from a situation where he might die. I thought I’d wait and see… but can I trust you?’
As Jaehyun, it was something I couldn’t figure out in English.
To think that someone you’ve known for so long would risk his life for you.
In my previous life, even though I was on the radar for 7 years, I rarely met people like this.
It was something I couldn’t understand at first, but I had to accept it.
Seo Eana’s action a while ago was obviously to save herself, and thanks to that, she was able to survive.
Recalling Seo In-na’s actions, Jae-hyun let out a small admiration.
He cut down his life force for himself and developed a defensive force field.
The appearance of drawing out mana to the limit in order to somehow follow the attack of the last kobold lord.
I had a sudden thought.
If it were you, would you be able to do it like her?
‘no. No way.’
Jaehyun laughed and shook his head. He knew himself best.
Unfortunately, he would not have been able to save Seo Eana and would have escaped alone.
Just like it was to Myeong-ho Lee before returning.
He must have justified himself by saying that he couldn’t save him because he was a weak person.
that day.
The one who abandoned Park Seong-woo and Kim Jin-ah and came back alive alone and was pointed at by others.
Just like then.
“But it wasn’t Ina.”
Jaehyun sighed softly and stroked Seo Ina’s hair while she was shaking.
Her face, which had been groaning in pain, slowly softened.
Jaehyun looked at him for a moment, then turned his head and looked straight ahead.
‘You must not leave the dungeon now. For now, we have to keep our mouths open.’
Gu Jain probably planned to put himself under control through this.
However, Jaehyun never intended to play with him.
at the same time. Jaehyun made a promise.
‘What is the connection between Guzain and Odin’s crow… I need to find out.’
* * *
“……Wow! Jae Jae Jae?”
After a while.
Seo Ina, who came to her senses inside the dungeon, couldn’t help but look up in shock.
That was also because Jaehyun was stroking his hair while dozing off against the wall.
‘What?! What about this situation?’
This was very irritating to Seo Ina, who could not get along well with people.
Of course, Jaehyun is a good friend, but it’s true that I’m a bit reluctant to this kind of skinship.
But soon she shook her head.
Perhaps Jaehyun would have worked hard to save himself.
Even now, I must have fallen asleep exhausted from the aftermath.
The only thing I couldn’t understand was why I didn’t go out of the dungeon despite defeating the boss monster.
“……First of all, I need to check my physical condition. And after finding the exit… Huh?”
As Seo In-na opened the system to check her condition, her eyes widened.
With a blank face, she gazed at the translucent window that floated in front of her.
He was a bit embarrassed, but there was a reason.
‘……Your health and mana have all been restored, right? What happened?’
Wasn’t he in danger of dying from the mana rebound just a moment ago?
Seo In-na was well aware of the limits of the magical power she could handle, and even though she knew that, in order to save Jae-hyun, she fired a series of magical powers far beyond the permissible limit.
‘If I had left it as it was, I would have surely died… How the hell am I still alive?’
It was something that was difficult to understand.
Up until a little while ago, I honestly didn’t expect to be able to live.
I thought that if a miracle happened, maybe 1% would be possible,
but…
Thinking so, Seo Ina’s gaze fell on Jaehyun, who had just woken up.
Jaehyun stretched out his body with a short moan.
He looked at Seo Ina who was up first and asked.
“uh. Are you awake? How are you feeling?”
“……I think it’s okay. Are you Jaehyun?”
“I’m fine too. sorry. I was sleeping because I was a little tired.”
At Jaehyun’s words, Seo Ina tilted her head as if it was strange.
“……The kobold lord has already been defeated. But why were you sleeping here?”
“I was waiting for you to wake up. I have something to tell you.”
“……What to say?”
“huh.”
Seo Eana couldn’t help but feel quite confused by Jaehyun’s words.
What the hell is he trying to say?
Could it have something to do with the fact that his body was completely healed?
“……What do you mean?”
“I want to match my mouth in advance.”
“Huh?! Huh?”
