Episode 403. Equal Exchange (2)
[Blessing of the First World Tree].
The effect is so great that even in [[absolute zero]], it blunts the cold. But this time it’s not the chills, it’s the visual stimulation.
It wasn’t that my eyes were open to the sky, nor was it that I could see the vast landscape of Antonium at a glance. A demon hunter’s hypersensitive senses. A system message popped up.
[The skill ‘Relationship with the Natural Enemy’ is activated.]
North of Antonium.
Demonic energy felt far away.
Even somehow, I got used to it.
I didn’t hesitate.
“I’ll be away for a while.”
Nash and Emilio.
After spitting it out at the two of them in Grand Fel style.
A portal appeared immediately.
and faced
gloomy sky.
pouring snow.
The owner of a presence that I felt familiar with.
Bingryong Prosnax.
“Prosnax.”
World tree pedigree.
I was a brother to all dragon elves. But the shock is as deep as the time of Yunaxus. That’s because I had a bad feeling for Prosnax in my own way.
at least thousands of years old.
But among the dragons, did they say that he was Prosnax, who had just taken off his hatchling tee? Maybe that’s why natural half words come out.
“You are crying sadly.”
Gentle words continue even after speaking to the evil dragon.
“But there is nothing to worry about.”
It wasn’t Prosnax that really worried me, it was our temple allied forces that were attacking Prosnax. It seems that there are at most 20 people, including Leoni Hisagi, a South Korean….
The dragon is the king of all things.
At the same time, it is a strange existence.
If it’s not Kii, it means that you can’t dare to face it.
Moreover, considering that demonized monsters are getting stronger… Considering that Prosnax isn’t strong enough to show mercy like Yunaxus… Eventually, my eyes turn toward the green hair
.
‘Even if Velier joined, it’s not enough.’
Think of the best way in a moment.
Prosnax is at a level that even I, who have [Natural Enemy Relations] activated, cannot handle. Activate the skill [Heaven, Heaven, and Earth alone]. Only by borrowing the abilities of Grandfel in his heyday will he be able to fight against them.
but.
‘Is hunting really the best thing, Hoyeol-ah?’
like the king of all things.
That dragons give huge experience points and loot.
It was me who knew thanks to killing Yunaxus.
But it wasn’t pleasant at all. I couldn’t feel joy in the level that had risen to the limit of level 50 at once, nor the dragon heart, nor the new equipment made with dragon skin.
Is that the influence of Grandfell’s integrity?
Perhaps it was because of the brotherly love under the blessing of the world tree.
If it’s not all, it’s because of Lee Ho-yeol’s awkwardness.
I didn’t know
But I do know one thing.
‘Everything has a good reason.’
So I approached Bellier. Marcelo, not anyone else, must have a good reason for allowing Velier to enter the Arcana continent.
The reason was obvious.
“I’ll ask you, Senior Mage Yusia in Velie.”
“…!”
“The principle of purifying the fruit of evil and the entire process.”
It was me who did it, not anyone else.
‘If the person who ordered it doesn’t know, isn’t it dereliction of duty?’
At my request, Bellier had been researching for several months to purify the fruit. But for some reason, Bellier made an expression as if he had been stabbed.
“Chief Lee Ho-yeol…”
I realized it only after meeting Bellier.
great union.
The reason they can hold out against Prosnax.
Damn—
Bellier’s skin was slowly freezing.
The knowledge of shallow healing magic flows through my head.
“It’s the high-level healing magic 『Proof of Equivalent Exchange』.”
“…You recognize right away, right?”
“A magic in which the manifester of 『Proof of Equivalent Exchange』 alone bears the damage suffered by the target. The effect of reducing absolute damage is significant, but the efficiency of magic consumption is not that great.”
Because of that, I fell into magical exhaustion.
Belle was gasping for breath.
I want to ask about my regards, but the snout asks the core.
“I don’t think magic power is required during the purification process.”
“…Whoops, be sharp.”
“What do you need? Belier.”
At this point, you may feel obstinate.
But I have no choice but to be persistent.
Healing magic wasn’t all-powerful on the Arcana continent.
Fire, lightning, water transformation…
Now I use most of the magic that exists in the Mage Tower.
He was well acquainted with upper level magic.
『His innate magical talent was such that he could imitate most magic just by looking at it. Furthermore, even the potential of the body that is second to none.”
Yes, thanks to his embarrassing talent.
To the extent that it can be said that you have mastered it just by reading the magic book.
Because I was able to use it freely.
However, the reason why I only learned healing magic to the level of intermediate magic was simple. Healing magic was a fairly honest magic.
‘It takes a price to restore something.’
In most cases, the mana of the manifester was the price.
And that’s why I asked Bellier the question. In a state of magical exhaustion, what the hell would you offer as an equivalent exchange sacrifice to purify the fruit of evil, Velie?
“First of all, 『The Extreme of Healing Magic』 should be preceded.”
The name itself is grandiose.
But the principle was simple.
The manifester’s body becomes a sacrifice for the healing magic equivalent exchange.
In other words, he sacrificed his life to manifest semi-permanent healing magic.
Belle said with a laugh.
“Leras Tilgh turned into a glowing orb after performing the ultimate in healing magic. They say that he who turned into a sphere is still being kept somewhere in the Mage Tower… Compared to that, wouldn’t my end be a little better? At least you’ll be able to see the outside to your heart’s content.”
You really meant to risk your life, Bellier.
“I understand your determination.”
It’s not surprisingly surprising.
Isn’t this the first time Bellier has pledged to risk his life?
Why do you think of the time when you entered the Arcana continent to solve Marcelo’s time-limiting curse? Bellier said he would follow me.
‘At that time, the Arcana Continent was a land of destruction.’
It’s not an exaggeration, I died once and came back, right?
It was in that sense.
Why die is how a person who has died can die better.
“But I won’t allow it.”
I was no longer the co-chief, but I was the only one. There will be no elder wizards. The Mage Tower’s strict rule is that everyone below the tower lord, Marcelo, must follow my words.
Bellier asks with a puzzled expression.
“You’re not allowed…? If you’re concerned about my safety, there’s nothing to worry about. I have already made up my mind from the moment I entered the Arcana continent.”
Shall I just be honest?
I have a title that has a very deceptive effect, [Last Adventurer].
On the Arcana continent, it is an effect called the power of resurrection that does not die even after death.
So, even if the extreme meaning of the healing magic is manifested, in 24 hours in real time, you can set foot on the Arcana Continent again.
For Grandfel, time is not more important than life, even if it is gold.
Of course, the death penalty, the decrease in experience, is large, but even considering that, it means that nothing is more important than life.
‘I’ll explain that very kindly, this snout.’
But I knew Grandfel’s way of speaking better than anyone else.
As you guessed.
The words that came out of his snout were concise.
“Who’s next after Prosnax?”
“…yes?”
“Who’s next to you in Bellier?”
No matter how you hear it, it must be colder.
“Is it Cleodia, a skilled mage?”
“…!!”
My words cause ripples in Bellier’s green pupils.
yes, i was clueless
Equivalent exchange It is said that he purifies Prosnax, who swallowed the evil fruit, in the extreme sense of the healing magic that sacrificed his life. Prosnax was only the second evil dragon.
It meant that whenever the evil dragon rampaged, someone else had no choice but to give their lives. Tears form in Bellier’s eyes, perhaps remembering Klee’s face.
“…I am!”
Bellier struggled to keep up the conversation.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t give you any leeway.
Prosnax starts to rampage more violently.
I opened my mouth as I closed the dawn jacket.
“I will.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
“It is enough for you to show your determination.”
I asked again.
“The ultimate in healing magic. Can you explain the apparition process, Velier?”
“no! Even if it’s the chief’s order, I can’t follow it. Chief Lee Ho-yeol has something to do for the sake of the Arcana continent and the world of adventurers…!”
…That’s why it’s better to explain kindly from the beginning.
Even if he is the head of a great fallen family.
Does the nobleman’s stubbornness not go anywhere?
I answered again this time in the Grandpel style.
“Don’t doubt your intuition, Bellier.”
“…my gut?”
“Haven’t you already seen it?”
Yes, me who came back alive from the Arcana Continent.
Of course, it wasn’t all right.
Although the body may have been fine.
‘Because the suit was torn, the shirt was stained with blood, and the appearance was ridiculous.’
however.
“…!”
Did you remember?
Belle is startled.
Then he asks with a serious face.
“…As expected, the chief has the power of resurrection?”
I didn’t answer.
‘It’s similar, but strictly speaking, it’s not a resurrection.’
In the first place, the Arcana people just misunderstood the death penalty as the power of resurrection. So I had no choice but to answer honestly this time.
The time difference between reality and the continent of Arcana.
Let’s see, 24 hours in reality were four days on the Arcana continent.
added after calculation.
“I’ll see you in four days.”

– “Didn’t you already witness it?”
what came to mind.
It was a blood-soaked garment of hot fever.
Bellier was an expert.
This means that the extent of the injury can be determined just by looking at the amount of blood loss. Moreover, he was well aware of Ho-yeol’s personality. Regardless of the reason, he was not the kind of person who would be drenched in the blood of others.
‘…He was really mortally wounded.’
However, Ho-yeol’s body, which had returned to reality, was intact. Bellier regarded it as a miracle. He thought it was something that could neither be explained nor could ever happen again.
So, what I was saying now didn’t make much sense to me.
“…four days later?”
…What do you mean?
Is it the aftermath of magical exhaustion?
Or is it because Ho-yeol’s words are difficult to understand?
Belier leaned against a tree.
I lost my mind.
.
.
.
[The ‘warmth’ disappears from you.]
Blinking message.
Perhaps Senior Bellier had reached his limit.
Hisagi calmly looked at the situation.
‘But we couldn’t do the proper damage.’
It was different from Prosnax and Yunaxus.
Above all, he had intact wings.
No matter how fast it was, even Nam Tae-min, who activated [Berser].
It was to the point where I couldn’t keep up.
‘It’s forced.’
Nevertheless, Nam Tae-min got on the tail of Prosnax.
He stabbed his greatsword and held on to Prosnax with brute strength.
But as said.
‘It’s just forcing.’
[An uncontrollable chill strikes.]
Damn—
“Huh.”
Even the exhaled breath freezes.
Even if you were alone, you couldn’t stand the guy’s coldness. What is Nam Tae-min’s condition? If it wasn’t for the feral effect, it wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed right away.
However, Hisagi did not back down.
“Breaking into the wall… I’m sick of it now.”
Frustrated against a wall?
It wasn’t once or twice.
I didn’t want to get used to frustration any longer.
I didn’t want to kneel in front of a wall.
If they acknowledged the gap, they were eliminated from now on.
“Because we have a goal… the Pandemonium.”
back.
I grabbed the window.
He aimed at Prosnax.
Demonic spear skill javelin.
It was the moment Hisagi gritted her teeth and prepared for the final blow.
“You’ve definitely grown.”
“…!”
I heard the voice of the commander-in-chief.
The reason why it was expressed as the voice of the commander-in-chief, not Ho-yeol’s, was simple. Because Ho-yeol was looking at the war with the commander-in-chief’s gaze at this moment.
What that means is simple.
“Then, from now on, it’s education.”
“…!”
“Keep in mind, my map will not go smoothly.”
The fact that the Allied Forces of the Crusade were finally equipped with strength.
*
To express the extreme of healing magic.
I’d say you don’t need magic.
Then, until the mana is exhausted.
I was thinking of going up against Prosnax.
‘From now on, I have to make use of all the opportunities given to me.’
let’s see
Quite a bit of time has passed since the men and women competed in the Dragon Temple, right?
I warn you in advance, but it will be different from then.
I am Lee Ho-yeol.
Even after that, I struggled pretty desperately.
Sword skill, magic, oddity…
It means that nothing will be as light as it was back then.
What’s more gloomy than that?
“Before teaching, let’s create an appropriate environment.”
I put my finger to my mouth.
“Be quiet first, Hatchling.”
“Kwaul…!”
Pop—
then the broken Dragon Fear.
Soon, the place became quiet as if a rat had died.
added this time.
“Because discipline is also scheduled for you.”
“…?”
“There is nothing to be sad about.”
It’s not wrong, but it’s a way of speaking that can cause misunderstanding.
“New chick Prosnax.”
“…?!”
