Chapter 402

Enon, who cut off Yuder's words in an instant, came closer and sat down. Eyes resembling his favorite lemons stared intently at Yuder's face, specifically aimed at his left eye.

“So that settles it.”

“What?”

“Your eye.”

Enon picked up a small decorative mirror that had been lying on the table and handed it over.

“According to the Commander, your left eye was shining gold, but when I came and turned the eyelid over, it was not. But when you woke up, it was the same, so it's certain that it has returned to its original color.”

Taking the mirror, Yuder was slightly surprised to realize that both his eyes were indeed the same color. The gold he had seen himself had vanished without a trace, leaving behind a look no different from before his injury.

‘The color... has returned.’

He looked strangely at his own eyes, whose deep shade had been the subject of countless remarks about its terrifying appearance. No matter how closely he looked, the only other color present was a faint violet that momentarily reflected the light, as was usually the case. It was an ordinary and familiar phenomenon that occurred when light hit the overly dark shade.

“I also saw the gold in my eye... What happened?”

“Well, I can only guess one thing. During the magic that erased the traces of amplification, the absorbed magic power remained attached inside and eventually flowed out with the disappearing toxicity.”

“Is that something that can happen?”

“Eyes are as good a place for magic to linger as the heart is. Ever heard the story that when ancient great mages used magic, their eye color changed to the color of their magic?”

“...I think I have.”

“It's a phenomenon called the 'Eye of Magic.' Something similar happened to you.”

Enon went on at length with his explanation of magic, but the point was concise. It seemed as though something had pierced through Yuder's left eye like a path for magic, due to the toxicity and magic that had remained in his body.

“It might not have been visible due to the poison stain, but after it disappeared, the magic started to appear. It's only in one eye for you, but it's usually something that only great mages can do.”

“I don't see anything different from before.”

“It hasn't been long since your eye recovered, that's why.”

Enon told Yuder that his left eye might react more sensitively to magic or other energy than before and that he might be able to see things he couldn't previously see. It was an unimaginable power for now.

‘...Well, I'm not going to become a mage, so I should be satisfied with the mere fact that my eye has recovered.’

As Enon paused to gather his thoughts, Yuder put down the mirror. Then he noticed something different in his bare hand, which was without gloves. A strange sight, replacing the vanished black spots. Spiderweb-like violet specks spreading along the veins of the back of his hand.

“What is this......”

“Oh, right, yes. There was that too.”

Enon looked down at Yuder's hand and muttered somberly.

“Didn't you see those spots spread before you fainted?”

‘Had the body transformed into a medium that accepted and absorbed external forces? Or was it something else...’

“Anyway, we'll need to investigate further, but your hand is quite noticeable. It would be best to continue wearing gloves.”

Indeed, if someone saw a hand writhing like this, they would likely scream and run away. As there would be no benefit to being remembered so intensely by others, Yuder silently nodded.

“And the rest... honestly, it's not that bad.”

Enon grimaced, as if extremely reluctant to admit it.

“While you were unconscious, Lusan and I examined you, and the blood you vomited was toxicity escaping from within, and your previously unstable spirit has stabilized considerably. If you have no difficulty or pain when using your power, then the medicine has fully taken effect.”

Yes. That seemed right.

The sensation of pain that had been burning his body, and the blood he had vomited, rather than weakening him, felt like something was burning away and trying to purge a build-up. Even if the power of the red stone, which had almost been absorbed into Yuder's body, had flared up once more when something stimulated it again, if it didn't cause any problems when using his strength, then all was well.

Yuder finally exhaled deeply, feeling as though he had escaped a long quandary. Now, there was nothing to obstruct his path.

“Enon. So... where is the commander?”

“...”

With a look that seemed to say he never gave up, Enon looked at Yuder, bowed his head, and opened his mouth.

“He waited until he was assured that your condition wasn't serious, and then he left.”

“He left? What about Priest Lusan...?”

“That guy is... Ah, he's coming now.”

“Sir Enon! I've brought what you asked for. Is this it?”

Lusan, holding a handful of freshly plucked leaves, stopped in his tracks as his eyes met Yuder's.

“Sir Yuder! You're awake.”
