Episode 436 Declare Now (9)

“But does it have to be in potion form?”



“What does it mean?”

“Isn’t it sometimes difficult to eat something during battle? “This is especially true if it’s a liquid.”

We already know that it has proven impossible to hold the battery itself and extract the horsepower as desired. However, there is no need to make the potion itself in liquid form. It would be easier to consume if it were in the form of a single pill.

“Please take note. However, even if it is solidified, it will not be without inconveniences.”

“why?”

“If the side effect of a stamina potion is to rewind, the side effect of a magic potion is that the magic power injected is not the person’s own. However, that is not the only fundamental reason. There is also a reason why a large amount of magical power is injected into the body at once and causes a load. And solids....”

“They are more dense than liquids. okay. I knew that the side effects would be greater. “This can’t be helped.”

“...There is no way at all. Convenience of ingestion is also an important issue, so I will prepare both liquid and solid potions.”

“Didn’t you say the side effects would be bigger?”

“If the density increases and side effects increase, we can reduce the size.”

“Oh, I guess so. “How about adjusting it to bite size or smaller so it’s easier to eat?”

“It’s bite-sized... The amount recovered will be a bit small, but if you’re in a fight, that might be better. “I will consider it.”

I lifted up the sphere, which had by then become brightly lit.

“How long should I put this in?”

“...How much magic power do you have left?”

“I think there are three quarters left.”

“Until there.”

In response to my answer, Kye Myung took the sphere back from me with an expression as if he was looking at something disgusting. What did I do? It was a little hurt.

“Put the rest here.”

“Can I put in the same amount I just put in?”

“okay.”

Still, I obediently accepted the new things the commandments brought. Maybe it’s because I said “three out of four”, but there were only three spherical items I brought.

“If you want to use up all of my magical power, you’d better bring two more.”

“...The amount of recovery is ridiculous.”

Oh, I think so too. But wouldn’t this world, which must go this far to achieve balance, have some problems?

I obediently injected as much magic power into each as I had added earlier. The reason it’s called ‘each’ is because, if you think about it, a person has two hands, not one.

“I think one might be enough.”

“Ha...”

By filling both at the same time, the time it took was reduced by 1/3. What this means is that the amount of magical energy recovered upon consumption has decreased accordingly.

When I said something with that intention in mind, Kye-myung sighed as if he didn’t want to say anything.

“Every time your magic power is restored, visit here and store it.”

“Sure.”

This too is almost full now. I held in both hands the last one and the new one that the commandment had brought me.

“This has nothing to do with the decisive battle, but it would be good to have a proper conversation with Lord Zrya.”

Suddenly. The light that grows weakly every time it is injected sometimes looks a bit dull, perhaps due to the type of magical power I have. My eyelids were halfway down.

“What nonsense—”

“If you really thought it was useless, you wouldn’t have even reacted to these words.”

Still, light is light. Even if its color is a bit dark, it does not clearly illuminate the world. It cannot help but be different from the darkness that swallows everything.

“This fight may be the last for you or Lord Zrya. “If you do this, you will end up regretting it in the end... Wouldn’t it be better to tell it in advance?”

I was in a situation where I couldn’t speak even if I wanted to, but the commandments and the Sutra are a bit different. they can talk Even if it is a promised catastrophe, there is no way you will be treated as a lie when you tell your true thoughts.

Wouldn’t that alone be enough to be worth talking about?

“...This is not your matter to interfere.”

“Yeah, that’s true too.”

Well, if the person involved doesn’t like it, there’s nothing we can do.

“Is that really possible?”

In response, the fighter, who had a grumpy expression most of the time, grinned.

“Let go of this, let me see!!”

It was a very satisfying tension, except for the guy being lifted and held in her hands.

* * *

“Mr. Ai, that person always pampers me.”

Now I know why the Atonement Fairy insists on him, but as someone who runs errands all the time, dissatisfaction is bound to pile up. Deathbringer tore apart the second letter from Skyla while placing the item on his head that he was told to take to the temple.

‘Your cold is gone, and I was afraid you might get lost, so I took this action.’ A piece of paper with that written on it stuck out from inside. The smiling picture engraved next to the emblem made me really angry.

“Oh, this person is real.”

I’m glad my cold is over, but it’s annoying. Deathbringer folded the note neatly and put it in his arms. It wasn’t that it was particularly precious, and if you wanted to burn it, you had to take it to where the fire was.

“huh?”

But when he reached the temple, heresy inquisitors with serious faces came rushing out. They all had expressions that could not be explained by saying they were all so evil.

“Interrogator Sir?”

“...?”

The problem is that Daniel is also mixed in. Deathbringer called him without thinking. Daniel, who was frowning as if he was going to kill someone, turned his head to check who had called him.

“ah.”

And as soon as he confirmed that it was the Deathbringer who had called him, his expression relaxed. Of course, that did not mean that the atmosphere that had made it difficult to live in before went away all at once.

Deathbringer’s body shrank slightly. That is the truly inevitable reaction of a person born in the back alleys when he encounters the Inquisitor, the temple’s force and symbol of violence.

“What’s going on here?”

Daniel, who asked for understanding from the people around him and left the group, approached him. The remaining Heresy Questioners do not wait for Daniel and head somewhere first.

“No, that. The Lord of the Magic Tower ordered me to run an errand. What is it more than that? “Did something happen?”

“Hmm.”

Daniel thought for a while about Deathbringer’s question. This proves that the secret he is holding is a huge one.

Deathbringer’s neck band moved up and down.

“...It’s originally confidential, but it’s okay if you are.”

“No, if it’s important, I’m fine.”

“I had to tell the agent the truth anyway.”

“No, really, I’m fine.”

“The White Crow is missing.”

“Bwak.”

Look at that guy who says he doesn’t want to know, but still says it. You’re telling me to tell you that you don’t have time to tell it again. But in the meantime, the content is really not worth the time.

Deathbringer hiccuped with all those emotions. It didn’t feel that good.

“What powers does that person have!?”

He heard that the White Crow was imprisoned in a special prison created by the combined efforts of the Magic Tower and the Temple. But really how?

“...I am guessing that the devil is involved here.”

“yes? “In the middle of the temple?”

Wasn’t the reason they built a prison near the temple instead of the Magic Tower out of concern that they might be in cahoots with the devil again? You broke through it again? At this point, wouldn’t the answer have been to kill the guy instead of just imprisoning him?

“...I’m just embarrassed.”

“No, no, I’m not trying to blame you. “What did the devil use to get the man trapped in the temple out?”

“....”

Deathbringer asked Daniel again, dumbfounded. Perhaps because this part was quite important, Daniel was silent for a moment. Well, he must have decided that there was no point in keeping this a secret since the escape had already been announced, so he opened his mouth in the end.

“Do you remember when a few bell towers were smashed not long ago?”

“You remember, right?”

“I think I escaped at that time. And that too... leaving behind a replacement that was sophisticated enough to fool the eyes of the temple people.”

“...yes?”

No, that was over two weeks ago. Is that when the white crow escaped?

Deathbringer’s mouth dropped open.
