Episode 233:
While everyone was having fun and enjoying the moment, I was barely able to come to my senses.
My whole body throbbed.
There was no place that didn’t hurt.
Is this a rebound that comes from using authority?
Moreover, since I did not awaken through the normal course, the side effects were bound to be greater.
But the side effect of this rebound is that it also damages the eyes.
I thought I had opened my eyes, but all I could see was darkness.
I waited calmly.
I didn’t think my vision would come back right away.
I saw that Hamilton, who lived as a master, also suffered quite a bit from rebounding.
If the rebound I, who was weaker than him, was stronger than the mercenary king’s rebound, I would be stronger, not weaker.
-Raymond, are you okay?
Unlike me, who is calm, Rims doesn’t seem to be like that.
I obviously opened my eyes, but I felt someone tap my face, probably because he was worried when he saw that I was out of focus.
I raised my hand and extended it to where Riems was vaguely likely to be.
“are you okay. You do not have to worry.”
I spoke to Riems, but the answer came from a completely different place.
“Who are you talking to?”
It was Bane’s voice.
It wasn’t just Bane. The voices of several men and women could be heard behind him.
“I haven’t recovered yet, so come back next time.”
Bane sends them away. Perhaps among them would be his daughter Selina.
The people who came with him resisted at first, but when they told me that I was not in good shape, they finally agreed and went back.
“Are you Bane?”
I heard the voice and knew it, but I turned my head towards the direction the sound came from and asked.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Bane takes a step and comes closer.
It’s not visible. There was only darkness, but strangely, I could clearly feel his movements.
I’m not predicting where it’s coming from.
I couldn’t see anything. But it was clearly visible.
I couldn’t understand what my current state was or why I was doing this.
Smell, sound, touch, taste... A sixth sense emerged beyond the five senses, making it like seeing even without seeing.
“Are you feeling okay? “Oh, I said it was okay earlier.”
“....”
There was no answer. It would be more accurate to say that I couldn’t do it. He focused his movements down to the smallest, most insignificant movements.
The collar of his toes was vividly visible.
I could see everything about his sad face and the shape of his muscles.
He comes closer and looks down at me.
I sat up in bed and fixed the sky in front of me, not even looking at the ground.
‘To be able to see so vividly... does it mean I lost my eyes instead of gaining power?’
The story of the Master who gained incredible senses in exchange for his eyes came to mind.
I was worried about what would happen if I were like that master.
No matter how great your power, losing a part of your body that you already had was a very scary thing.
I want to become stronger. But that doesn’t mean I want to give up my body.
“Where are you uncomfortable?”
He asked worriedly if he saw my face distorting.
I shook my head. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
Now I just masturbate, thinking it’s just the effect of the rebound.
“no. it’s nothing.”
Perhaps thanks to Rims’ periodic recovery, the throbbing pain gradually eased.
“What happened to the war?”
“We won. “The damage to our troops is not that great.”
He says it was a complete victory and tells him to relax.
I was worried that I would faint and be okay against the Chief, but the Master’s nickname didn’t go anywhere.
When his back, which was slowly straightened, began to feel painful, Bane, who had been staring into space the entire time, opened his mouth.
“I guess I was wrong. sorry. “I apologize.”
He bows his head to me.
As the head of a family, it is inherently impossible for me to bow down to someone of lower rank.
But he casually bowed his head and apologized.
Unlike the first time I received an apology, this apology didn’t make me feel bad.
This is because he didn’t apologize simply because he saw me as weak and thought it was his responsibility.
“it’s okay. “After all, you were worried about me.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
He nods and pauses for a moment.
“The eyes... how do you think they will recover?”
He becomes a little calmer and asks carefully.
I answered, blinking my numb eyes.
Right now, I can’t even feel if I’m blinking, but I’m confident that I will recover.
The sensation in my eyes was coming back so faintly that I couldn’t even notice it unless I concentrated very little.
“yes. “It will take some time, but I think I will recover.”
“Hehe... That’s a good thing.”
He let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his grip on my shoulder.
He says, straightening his bent back.
“Okay, I got it. “If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”
“yes.”
“Oh, right. I’ll be back in four days. “I was originally going to go a little slower, but something happened so I think I’ll have to speed it up.”
“Oh, I see. All right.”
“Well, if you’re having a hard time, you can stay here and come back after you’ve fully recovered.”
“no. “I don’t think there’s any reason to do that.”
“i get it. Get it ready. Aren’t you hungry? “I probably slept for two days and didn’t eat anything.”
“I still wanted to eat something.”
“Then I’ll have someone bring some simple porridge.”
“Yes, I would appreciate it if you could.”
“Okay, take a break. “I still have some things to take care of, so I have to go.”
“yes. All right.”
He opens the door and goes out.
When I heard the door close, I immediately lay down on the bed.
He said he felt quite weak after being down for two days.
I was very hungry, but Riems used recovery magic periodically, so my joints didn’t stiffen.
It wouldn’t be strange if it moved right away.
However, I will move when my vision recovers to some extent.
“I have to go to Arjuna... and the bloodstone mine.”
It’s a shame that I have to leave everything else behind and leave the bloodstone behind.
The uses of bloodstone are endless.
If I use it well, I think I can create a magic stone that can provide infinite power.
It absorbs unnecessary mana from those around it and uses it instead of a magic stone.
Well, that’s just wishful thinking and I don’t know if I can take it in the first place.
‘No. Should I ask Daejeonsa for a favor? ‘I don’t think it will be too difficult since there are elves.’
In any case, Daejeon achieved what he wanted through this war.
And it didn’t seem like there was any need to use the bloodstone to do anything.
The same goes for giving me a sack of bloodstone.
They didn’t consider bloodstone that important.
If we cooperated with the elves, it seemed like it could be a way to receive bloodstone regularly.
For now, it was time to focus on fully recovering my body.
‘Now that I think about it, it felt like something had changed in my body...’
A lot of things changed during this war.
It was when I was trying to operate the Auror to figure it out.
Footsteps were heard. It was a quiet walk, neither fast nor slow.
A faint clattering sound was heard as if someone was carrying something, and then there was a knock on the door.
