157. Purgatory (5)

‘There is still one step left… … .’

I don’t know what the English is, but I was given one more chance.

When Deyan appears on the marker, it means that Durandal can be used again.

But there is no way this kind of luck will come again.

Before that, you must be able to survive in that atmosphere.

Not that much time was given.

You must not leave this Fedur area.

History will end before it even begins.

“If, by any chance, the whole body is offended by what we, lowly, give back… … .”

body and nothing

If I don’t kill that damn bastard, my disciples are in danger.

“Don’t give it back thanks.”

“Take your whole body through the ‘umbilical cord’.”

umbilical cord?

As if answering my question, the old woman’s voice continued.

“It is where our new lives are born. It is a sacred place for us.”

In other words, it seems to be the same place as the obstetrician here.

But why are you taking me there?

“I’ll see you, my lord.”

Once led, I followed.

“It is here.”

I got out of the shaman old woman’s hut and stopped in front of the hut located in the middle of ‘Life’.

This seems to be the ‘umbilical cord’.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary hut, nothing more and nothing less.

“From here on, you have to eat alone.”

you have to go alone

Boundaries on the body were habitually sticking out.

Coming here, ‘Shinan’ also doesn’t work properly, so you can’t look inside or look into the future you don’t know even an inch ahead.

You just have to trust their favor.

As I tilted the draped entrance, I saw a large stone platform in the center of the hut.

“Mothers who are about to give birth will live here.”

“Here?”

“That’s right. until the child is born. A child born that way is miraculously able to live in that mage.”

So, it seems that they were able to survive in this dark magic.

“By the way… … .”

He paused for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Even if someone who was not born here stays here, it doesn’t mean that they will have the same abilities as ours.”

what is this again

Then why did you bring me here?

“The shaman’s grandmother said that she was serving, but I do not know the meaning of that grandmother. I just wonder if God is different… … .”

His words are both depressing and absurd.

But I know that the shaman old woman is an unusual person.

The old woman led me here, so there must be a way.

He passed him hesitantly and entered the hut.

“Then get what you want… … .”

At the same time, the entrance closed, and complete darkness fell.

It was in front of the podium that served as a bed before the entrance was closed, so I was able to sit down without any problems.

But I don’t know what to do.

Since I can’t see my eyes, I can’t explore this place, and that doesn’t mean that my new eyes don’t work.

Complete darkness that the eyes are not accustomed to.

A feeling I had not felt in a long time came over me.

At the same time, many thoughts started floating around.

‘This is not the time to think uselessly.’

You have to think of the people who will be waiting beyond this time.

have to do something

To get rid of the clutter, I just closed my eyes.

It has been a week since Lucas disappeared.

Rumors that harmed Lucas were spreading in the world, such as rumors that Lucas hid himself from constant danger, that he surrendered to demons, or that he ran away with his hidden lover.

But that’s just a public story.

Those who have had Lucas at least once knew that all the rumors were false.

In particular, the students of ‘All About Battle’, who were Lucas’ favorite students, were convinced that the reason Lucas silently disappeared had something to do with the dangers of the human world.

In addition, they blamed themselves for not being of any help to Lucas.

Felt in the Civil War in Ermel.

they have grown up

However, it is not enough to stand by Lucas’ side.

It was a battlefield where they were stubborn and fought.

But they didn’t help much.

“not me.”

“Noisy, Eylon.”

The experience of civil war, the achievements that others would have been drunk on victory and improved skills rather than others, made them reflect.

When the lecture was interrupted, they each raised their weapons rather than rest.

Realizing his own shortcomings, he chose to grow up by reviewing the materials and lectures that Lucas left behind in the video.

Some have found their own way.

Eylon also improved her magic engineering level by grafting the new technology obtained from the ‘workshop’, and Ruina visited Milia.

Jessie honed the trionic sword, the swordsmanship of the family that Lucas had shown.

The completion of the sword was not in the family.

What Lucas showed me.

Gripping it, Jesse swung his sword and swung it again.

Torres, Eden, Baron, and others stayed up all night for their own growth.

Using Lucas’ teaching as a pillar.

I don’t know what kind of fight Lucas is fighting alone, but they hope they can help themselves in that fight.

* * *

It’s like losing sight.

In that situation, I feel like my eyes are closed and my senses are getting wider.

I took a deep breath to focus my mind on one place and widened my senses.

You can feel everything inside the hut.

Gigam stretched outward, past the people moving within this garrison, and extended to the area of Sotdae.

It did not stop at just widening, but also deepened.

Down this podium, down.

It was as if through a basement.

From here to the sotdae.

My sense of humor reached everywhere in the shape of a sphere with a radius of about 500m.

His hearing became sharper, and he could hear people talking. Not only that, you can feel their heartbeat, blood flow, and even the flow of magic.

Their magical power not only circulates through the body, but also extends to the earth.

To be precise, the magic that leads to the earth is not their magic.

In addition to his own magic, another magic was naturally connecting the earth and them.

Where that magic circulates-

‘Under this.’

The closed eyes slowly opened.

I think I can see why the old woman sent me here.

Because there really is a secret hidden here.

What was able to survive in that magi is that those born here are unwittingly connected to this pedestal, to be precise, to something beneath this pedestal, and to be able to survive in the magi.

In other words, something underneath this is acting like an oxygen tank that allows the Magi to breathe in the sea.

What I need to do is clear.

I also have to draw my magic from there.

Like them, you have to attach an oxygen tank.

But I don’t know how.

As I dig down, I couldn’t even reach the highest point of my senses, and I didn’t know if I had touched something wrong.

All I can do is somehow connect that with me.

But I don’t have magical powers like them.

I wasn’t born here like them.

In order to use Durandal in Trisha’s melted atmosphere, it seems that a connection to it is essential, but I can see a solution, but I can’t reach it.

As the frustration builds up, it becomes impatient.

match-

He slapped his face to get his spirits up.

‘Don’t be in a hurry. Isn’t that what I always tell my students?’

If I teach my students that way, and I don’t do it, what could be more shameful than that?

He sat on the podium again, closed his eyes, and widened his senses.

How focused were you?

I began to feel the flow of magic again.

I almost felt impatient again, but I barely endured it, and I completely focused on the flow.

It was sad that I had no choice but to look, but there must be a way.

Believing that there must be a way, I continued to focus.

I concentrated to the point where my mind wandered, felt the flow of magic, and I followed the flow and focused my consciousness under this pedestal.

* * *

“Uh… … .”

Rite’s shaman opened his eyes.

“No one there!”

At the shaman’s cry, someone outside the hut hurried in.

“Grandma, why?”

“How long has it been since the whole body went to the umbilical cord?”

“The day and night have changed thirty times.”

“already… … .”

“Why?”

“The speed of fusion of original sin has accelerated. He’s looking over this Leete.”

“Shall I tell the whole body?”

“no! then no. There are still three saints protecting us. But we can’t help but wish May that tooth in the umbilical cord be the forerunner in the prophecy. If he truly was the forebody in the prophecy, he would cut the umbilical cord and come out and tear the original sin apart.”

The old woman’s eyes drooped again.

* * *

‘You’re still there… … .’

Those waiting for the baby to ride in front of the hut where the umbilical cord is located.

According to the shaman’s grandmother, the moment the person whom he worshiped with his whole body comes out from within, the original sin will be punished.

But looking at the shaman grandmother’s impatience, it seems that she doesn’t have much time.

At the same time, the heart of the person protecting this place became impatient.

‘But can I leave it alone without eating anything?’

There is definitely a sign that moves inside.

In other words, it was said that something was active, but nothing was eaten.

I’ve slipped the food in a few times, but I didn’t touch it until the food went bad.

God says that he can continue his life without eating human food, and he does not include food anymore.

because it’s bad

Still, the grandmother’s reaction created a sense of impatience.

Besides, I’m curious about what’s going on inside.

I opened the entrance and went inside.

There, Lucas, slimmer than before entering the umbilical cord, breathes in and out like a machine.

‘Did you just breathe like this?’

He couldn’t hide his disappointment and went outside.

ji

Darkness descended inside the hut again.

Lucas, who had reached a state of selflessness, was not disturbed.

The sound of Lucas breathing came out of the silence.

But something was strange.

Not only the sound of breathing, but also some other foreign sound was mixed.

Woong-

Woong-

In addition, a soft light was emanating from Lucas’ body.

When the light hits the hut, it’s so subtle that you can’t see it. It was a subtle light that could be seen to deceive the complete darkness.

It was an auror that rose to the extreme.

It wasn’t Lucas’ will.

Instinctively – no, it was the aurora itself, with willpower to rise.

The aurors moved as if they were alive.

Then he started digging down, down, endlessly.

Like a tree taking root, slowly.

Lucas’ Aura, distinct from other magical powers, followed them further and deeper.

Eventually, Lucas’ Auror arrived at the true form of the ‘umbilical cord’.

It wasn’t ordinary magic.

Rather, it was emitting a light similar to Lucas’s aura.

Lucas’ Aura hovered around it and finally touched it.

At that moment, Lucas’ Aura began to suck the umbilical cord as if it were absorbed.

Still, Lucas didn’t flinch.

As if you didn’t know this.

but,

[You have met the awakening conditions of ‘Perm’s Aura’.]

[‘Aura of Perm (破魔)’ has awakened to ‘Aura of Destruction (滅魔)’]

What was clear was that some change was beginning.
