Episode 26

The area of light had now completely disappeared and created an afterimage of fluttering pure white feathers. Simultaneously, I had a tremendous feeling of exhaustion throbbing through my whole body. There was no mercy on the rebound.

“Phew...”

As I slowly blinked, the Blood Polis, the red mist created by the vampire, seemed to have disappeared. Great. It shouldn’t leave a trace after a ninth rank spell. This was transcendental magic that brought God’s will to the earth. At this, I burst into laughter.

After I checked the people who were slowly opening their eyes and raising their heads, I turned my body and looked at Calderas, which was currently stuck upside down. I thought I had to go back, but all I could manage was to lean on the sword and collapse. Calderas went quiet after most of his divine power had been taken away. It may have been deeply shocked by the sudden sense of loss since it was a sword with an ego.

There was a huge difference when you knew that you had been exploited or not. I felt sorry for no reason whatsoever. I knew I needed to be nice to Calderas the next time I saw him. I was slowly closing my eyes as I was thinking like that. I was also thinking of the unidentified bizarre status window that popped up in front of my eyes, but now I just wanted to forget everything and fall asleep.

While checking the energy that began to recover at an unparalleled speed, I fell asleep comfortably, hardly noticing the blonde girl approaching me.

* * *

How long had it been since I had slept without any worries or stress? Even though the sleep was much shorter than when I was training, it would have been nice to describe it as a very satisfying sleep for me, who hadn’t slept well for nearly half a year.

“...For Bernie...”

“I am sorry...”

While sleeping, I heard someone talking. When I opened my eyes half-awake, I could see the ceiling of the cleaning room. The small mansion that I stayed in the first time when we arrived at the Duchy of Felicity.

“Ah...”

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed.

“Oh! Davey!”

As Winley, who looked upset about something, found me awake, she ran to me quickly.

“Davey! Are you alright?”

“Winley.”

“How is your body?! Is there any problem with it?”

She looked extremely worried, as if she was going to burst into tears.

“How long was I asleep?”

What happened to make you so upset? As I asked her, Winley burst into tears and hugged me.

“You haven’t woken up for two days. I was...I was scared that you wouldn’t be able to get up again...ugh.”

Ah. Since I had done that, it was a natural reaction that she was worried. As I patted Winley on her back, I heard a soft sobbing from her. I tried to comfort her without saying anything as her body trembled in my arms.

“I...I had a dream.”

“Dream?”

“Yes, when the red mist crept on us, you protected me against it in my dream.”

She didn’t seem to remember much of what happened then. I thought it was better for her that she didn’t see that cruel scene.

“Where is Barris?”

“That...”

She frowned with a familiar, anxious look on her face.

“You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m awake now.”

“The games stopped on that day. Because of the incident, the entire country is chaotic right now.”

It was an understandable reaction since it wasn’t just an ordinary monster.

“I guess so.”

“Then I’ll go back to my room. Then, take some rest, brother.”

Winley left the room with short steps after she smiled and hugged me tightly. I quietly stretched my arm toward her as she opened the door and left.

‘Well...is it right? Information confirmation.’

Beep!

As if I wasn’t mistaken, a translucent black box revealed itself to me again.

-Name: Winley Al Rown.

-Age: 14

-Gender: female

-Tribe: Human

-Title: Nothing

-Symptom: Fatigue.

-Special comments: Three Circle Wizard.

-Current psychology:

Worrying about the viewer.

Surprised.

Fragile.

“Oh, oh...”

It didn’t show much. However, this status window contained information that couldn’t generally be found.

“It’s similar to a game?”

However, the ability to gain insight into a person was of great merit when dealing with people.

‘Why did this happen all of a sudden?’

Was it because I prayed to the Lord? Or was there a problem since I used the same method as when I was a spiritual body?

‘Let’s not worry; it’s not bad anyway.’

I would use it if it helped my life in the future. At least there would be no misunderstandings. As I thought so, I looked out of the darkened window, and I could see the bright night view of the Duchy of Felicity. I wasn’t able to easily decide whether or not I should hide my identity. There were too many factors to consider. If I were to make a big scene, the people around me might suffer.

‘Is there any reason that I should hide my identity?’

Looking at the current situation, it seemed that people already knew about my stigmata. However, no one knew a single detail about it yet. This was an arena filled with sacred energy and the stigmata engraved on me when they found me there. The story of the stigmata was circulating, thanks to the sleazy senior priest who healed me. In other words, no one had seen me running wild. People might misunderstand that I did all that, given the situation. I mean, I knew it wasn’t a misunderstanding. I was silent with such complicated thoughts.

-It’s just one side, but I guess they liked your ability to see through the other person’s psychology. By the way, what are you thinking?

It was then...a strange voice came into the quiet room. He spoke like an elderly person, but the voice I heard was a boy my age. The voice sounded to be passed from a will in someone’s head, not through sound.

“Who are you?”

I muttered and frowned at the voice that came from nowhere. How did he sneak up on me? I was nervous because I knew that it was impossible to do so. Therefore, it was probably not a normal creature. As I was sitting blankly, I narrowed my eyes and slowly started to boost my power.
