174-168 The price of forbidden art and the future

It was just a world of darkness, and I couldn't move my body, only the pounding, thumping heartbeat told me that I was alive.

Though my thoughts worked, my body couldn't move, and my magic power had been fully recovered before I knew it, but I was in an unintelligible state where I couldn't use my recovery magic.

I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that I've been using the forbidden art of revive in conjunction with other magic and chanting multiple chants, but it might be because I've gone over the limit.

It's a good thing that you can't get away with it.

Whatever decision the gods have made, it's no wonder what's happening.

I had no choice but to start searching for signs and magic, but I could only feel my own magic and signs, and that's when I started to wonder if I was really alive.

A powerful light, more dazzling than the sun, shone down on the place that was completely dark.

And a voice resounded in my brain.

''O traveler from another world beyond time and space, you have invoked the forbidden art despite being in the body of a man.

It was never supposed to be allowed.

It's also true that we've been brought about by the interference of an evil deity.

This time the punishment will not be ours.

But you will pay the price for your forbidden arts.

'My ... sanctified and governed God bless you, I look forward to your return to being a holy and healing being again.'

Awake, Awake!

The voice that echoed in my brain spoke to me in turn, but it was so divine that I forgot to even speak.

When I heard the last voice, I had that feeling of being lifted up to the sky all at once as the light gathered and enveloped the darkness I was in.

It was as if I felt like I was being held by something gentle.

And the light made the blood flow through my hardened body, and the warmth of the light made me feel like my body was unraveling.

After confirming that the blinding light had subsided, I slowly opened my eyes, but what came into view was darkness again.

''Why not?!''

The moment I tweaked it, I felt the sensation of something hitting my hand and heard a rattling sound.

''? ...in a coffin?

To test it out, I slowly pushed the part I had just touched.

Then the single-open casket slowly rose, revealing a blank space.

'What is this place?'

When I stepped out of the coffin, a door appeared on the side of the coffin.

Did Lydia put him in the coffin properly?''

I thanked Lydia and decided to check the status I was curious about before I left the room.

I couldn't help but be curious about the words of the God of Sanctuary.

[Title]

Changed destiny Blessing of the God of Destiny Blessing of the God of Sanctuary Blessing of the Many Dragons Blessing of the Many Spirits

Dragonslayer, dragonslayer, slayer of giants, slayer of monsters, slayer of evil spirits.

The one that breaks the seal and is guided by the Dragon God.

The status screen usually appeared to have floating white text, but two items were displayed in gray, as if to say that they had lost their power.

''.........The ones who defeated the evil gods are Master and Lionel, but the problem is that the Healer and Holy Attribute Magic are grayed out.......Heal......''

I activate my heal as usual, but it doesn't activate at all, and I don't feel my magic power slipping away.

Even if I tried to check the proficiency level of the skill in the proficiency appraisal, it didn't make sense, as it didn't even indicate the experience level after X.

''........It wouldn't be funny if the masters were dead from this, but if they were alive......''

As expected, with the holy attribute magic no longer available, it cannot be said that he has an unwavering steel spirit.

Because there is no such thing.

Nevertheless, I believed in the words of the Holy Spirit God, vowed to regain the Holy Attribute Magic one day, and opened the door, hoping that Master and Lionel would live.

Then, what jumped into my vision was the sight of Master, Lionel, and everyone else who was a follower.

'You're up at last, Luciel,'

"Master Luciel, you are well awake.

He thanked the gods that his master and Lionel were both present and alive.

Still, I'm a little concerned about it........

So aren't you both a little younger now?

You're really messed up.

The master held his eyes and turned away.

''You haven't woken up in ten days since then, so I was worried about you. Your body has certainly rejuvenated quite a bit.''

But still, the effect of rejuvenation, that's what makes the forbidden art benefit so amazing.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. But still, the two of you woke up right away?

My questions were answered by the squires who were itching to be beside me.

"They regained consciousness three days ago, Nya.

Ketty raised her voice.

'Ketty and I were both cringing at the thought that Master Luciel had died because he was suddenly de-slaved.

Kefin said as he moved his face closer to mine in concern.

'Kefin, you're as close to my face as you can get!　Was the de-slavery I was like a dead man once?　Come to think of it, where am I?

'It's the capital of Glandle, an exclusive inn where I've stayed before. I was taught that as long as I paid for it here, no other information would be given out.

Esther answers that, but money to stay at a luxury inn for so many days?

The money Lydia has deposited with us has allowed us to stay here.

You could see the money in my face, Nadia told me so.

I was about to thank Lydia for her help, but she was shaking and crying.

I didn't expect her to cry all of a sudden, so I was a little confused, but I called out to her.

''........Lydia, what's wrong?　Lydia saved my life. I want to thank you properly.

I tried to tell her thanks, but Lydia shook her head and answered in a small voice.

'All I could do then was tremble. All I could do was watch Luciel-sama, Brod-sama and Lionel-sama fight so desperately.

Well, if I had been able to move with that, I'm sure she would have killed me.

I wouldn't even think of complaining to her for having the courage to do nothing and for properly using the hermit's coffin after everything was over.

The only reason we're alive now, Lydia, is because you saved us by putting us properly in the coffin of a hermit. You saved all three of our lives. I'm very grateful. Thank you.

I lowered my head to Lydia.

After that, not only me, but also my master and Lionel bowed to me, which seemed to confuse me and made me cry even more, and Nadia gently held Lydia in a gentle hug.

Then Master and Lionel confronted her with the main issue.

'Luciel, since you've exercised so much magic, of course there is harm, right?

''Me and Whirlwind are back to the same physical and professional level, and all the skills we've honed are gone.

Apparently the resurrection magic in this world is tougher than they thought.

The two easily spoke of what they had lost.

''........All that's left is knowledge and experience. Well, I'm surprised that my age has gotten younger for some reason.

In an attempt to blow away the heavy atmosphere, Master tried to soften the situation with a mischievous smile, which he doesn't usually do, but once again, the two of them lost a tremendous amount of money.

I guess it's also true that he's really happy that they survived nonetheless.

I didn't want to pour water on it, but I looked into my master's eyes and decided to answer honestly.

''I lost my Healer's Job and Holy Attribute Magic.

'! Luciel, I'm sorry.

Lady Luciel!

My words caused Master and Lionel to look despairing and everyone else to look despairing as well.

I had expected everyone to look like that, but it made my heart ache.

But I smiled and told everyone.

''Well, it can be managed. As for the attributes, I can feel the magic power of the holy attribute, and I just can't use magic, can I?''

But you'd be throwing away the position you've built for yourself.

At worst, I can still get by, so then you can live in Yenis as a merchant.

''Even if you lose your position as an S-class healer, you'll be fine, since you have the title of director of the school in Yenis and are also the president of the Luciel Chamber of Commerce (temporarily). Besides, I'll definitely be able to use Holy Attribute Magic one day.

...Is there any hope of using it?

Lionel asked with concern.

Well, Master and Lionel couldn't help but think that it was his fault, but he already expected this to happen.

''That's right. Actually, I have a few things in mind for this to happen.''

I'll help you in any way I can.

Isn't it time for the Master to go back to Meratni and do the work of the Guildmaster?

But there are some kindnesses in the world that I won't tell you about, so if you haven't noticed, I'll sneak you in later.

'Actually, when I met the water spirit in Yenis before, it was foretold that the time would come when I would eventually despair. So I was prepared for it beforehand.

Don't you have a solution?

I feel like Master is more worried about me than I am.

He had such a look on his face, clinging to straws.

''There are three ways to return to being able to use holy attribute magic. The first is to get the Pope to change your job. Hopefully, I can become a holy knight or a sage, so there's a chance I can use holy attribute magic through that.

'Job?　I see!　Luciel would have known the Pope.

The master was excited.

I know this is the easiest way.

However, it was doubtful that this would be enough to get past the despair that water spirit said.

''Yes. They will cooperate with us. Even if the Pope can't change his job, I pray that by going to Nerdal and getting the wind spirit's blessing and getting the blessing of all six attributes of the spirit, he will automatically change his job.

If it's a betting game, Master Luciel is so strong, it's going to work.

Kefin laughs as he remembers the pull of the random boss room and his usual lucky episodes.

'Secondly, I'm going to see the water spirits. I have a feeling from the way she talks that she knows how I can use holy attribute magic.

"If you're going to Yenis, it'll be good to see Nahlia, too.

Keti said and turned her meaningful eyes to Lionel, but Lionel's expression was hard.

Lionel is quite serious, so it can't be helped but........

'Finally, the third one, find one that can use space-time magic and perform a skill reset. Then use the SP to learn a new skill. I'll start training to learn it. When that happens, I'll have my master help me.

You're betting on that kind of fairytale magic and resetting your skills.

His master is nowhere near as angry as he is, and he looks terrible.

Lionel also looks like a demon and is quite scared.

''You'll just end up in the same situation as Master and Lionel. In case you're wondering, I'm terribly shocked that I lost my Holy Attribute Magic. If you see a demon, you'll shake. Even so, I'm sure I'll still do the same thing, no matter how many times I can rewind time. If the two of you feel indebted to me, then let's aim for old age together so that you'll be glad I saved you while valuing your lives.

I smiled and told him so.

I have the skills to fight, the best equipment, and money that I didn't have when I came to this world, and I have the best people I can rely on.

And I have the friends I can rely on the most.

To the extent that I didn't start from a negative place, I gave up on giving up and moving forward because of the possibilities.

If I hadn't met the water spirit at that time, I'm sure I would have hit my mentor and Lionel myself.

It's a good thing that you can't get rid of it.

Thus, after we were safely revived, we decided to head to Meratni first to see if Master had to work to get my Holy Attribute Magic back, and then we decided to head to the Holy City.

Once everyone had left my room, I opened the hermit's stables using the key that Lydia had returned to me.

It would be fine, even if it got a little dirty.

With that in mind, I decided to call Forenoir.

When Forenoire came out of the stables, the first thing she did was sweetly bite my head.

I'm afraid of the reactions of the people around me because my identity has completely collapsed. Furthermore, how can I live in this world without being able to use recovery magic?　I'm just so anxious.

Forenoire got tired of biting my head off and kicked me as I turned around to go back to the stables.

'Ts, don't kick me, it's not safe!

Bullew.

Forenoire flips over again and looks at me.

'If you're a genie, why don't you talk to me?'

He looked a little sad when I said that, and now he really went back down to the stables.

'What the hell is that I'm the one?'

Forenoire was going to kick me in the balls for real, but my hands just hurt a little.

I'm sure he was trying to show me that I was stronger without holy attribute magic.

''And yet you hurt Forenoire by assuming I could talk, didn't you? I'll apologize properly tomorrow.''

He went to bed and went to sleep, feeling guilty for making Forenoir a convenient presence, but grateful for a bit of positivity.
