Episode 25

On the side of the hall, the battle is still going on. In other words, the two professors somehow escaped from the battlefield to stop the resurrection ceremony.

“It is a ritual of this scale. If it succeeds, something absurd will surely come out of it.”

“… I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to convince you.”

The will of the two professors was firm. He was probably in a state of being aware of the dangers of the situation to some extent while fighting Bihyung.

At the professors’ words, Seo-ah Han seemed to realize what kind of thing she was involved in.

“… I mean, that sacrifice?”

“It’s actually a little more complicated, but in simple terms it is.”

“… … .”

Han Seo-ah’s eyes fluttered unsteadily. That would be difficult to comprehend. Because she didn’t do anything with bad intentions.

dreaming.

“… Ugh.”

Meanwhile, the influence of consciousness was growing stronger.

At this rate, the remaining time until the completion of the ceremony is less than ten minutes. I can’t afford to sweat any more.

“It was enough to explain. Stay away.”

Choi Do-won turned with a cold expression on his face. Then, Seo-ah Han trembled and said to me with despairing eyes.

“… I didn’t mean to do this.”

Her mind seemed very complicated.

“I was just trying to do a little better.”

Han Seo-ah couldn’t speak any more. Choi Do-won urged her, unable to organize her thoughts.

“In 10 minutes, the ritual is successful. So who do you think will be the first to die?”

“… … .”

“This is us here and Han Kang-yoon.”

“… then.”

“If you don’t want to see your brother die, you know what to do.”

Seo-ah Han made a bitter expression, and immediately got up from her seat and gently pushed my shoulder, which was standing in front of me.

“… sorry. Actually, my anger was resolved sooner or later.”

In the meantime, he himself turned to the professors.

“Thank you as always.”

It was slurred as usual, but it was a word full of sincerity. Han Seo-ah didn’t say anything more.

He just stood in front of the professors, closed his eyes, and waited for his end.

‘… … .’

I frowned at the rising headache.

When you think rationally, the professors are right. This is the most sensible decision in the current circumstances.

‘Apart from the ethical aspect, it is a natural choice to reduce sacrifice.’

However, by my standards, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the worst.

Is Han Seo-ah a character that can die right now?

‘That’s never going to happen.’

Not all stats can aim for S rank like the main character, Haon Yu, or the only EX magic stat like Cheongjuhwa.

However, Han Seo-ah was a character who reached level 50 or higher faster than anyone else thanks to her atmospheric chronicity, and as she was a heroine, she plays a big role in future events.

There are too many variables to fail to fulfill its role and disappear.

‘… … .’

In addition. Aside from that, I couldn’t tolerate it.

‘If you’re only looking at such a sight, what the hell did I come here for?’

Originally, it would have been me, Han Kang-yoon, to die on this spot. But sacrifice Han Seo-ah for him?

If I did that, I would definitely lose the meaning of living in this world.

Having hardened my thoughts, I quickly began to act.

“The chestnut.”

Fuwaak!

turn up.

A bust protruding from my shadow grabbed Han Seo-ah’s neck and leaped toward me.

It was a speed enough to stop Baek Ji-eun from being a fighter, but she didn’t stop it. It was as expected.

“… okay. If you do everything you can, you will have fewer regrets.”

Even if he pretends not to be, he is a pretty good-hearted person. It took care of my heart.

However, she is by no means indecisive when it comes to making decisions. Baek Ji-eun, who finally took a pose, exuded a speculation that could be felt through her skin.

“It will be over in the blink of an eye.”

Also, Choi Do-won sighed and said.

“You’re doing something pointless.”

Immediately after, something restrained my body as I was preparing for battle. It was Choi Do-won’s bondage technique.

“Did you feel any arrogance when your skills improved so quickly? I’m sorry, but there are enough talented people at your level right now.”

Of course. I know it better than anyone.

However, there was a way.

‘To be honest, I’m a gambler.’

If it wasn’t for this situation, I would never want to use it on purpose.

The risks are high, and we are not even sure what the outcome will be.

‘But, hopefully, we may be able to solve the resurrection ritual somehow.’

Anyway, the success of the ceremony is certain as long as it saves Han Seo-ah. If the gamble is unsuccessful, either side will be far from surviving.

That is, there was no choice.

‘… This is the judge’s board.’

tsuzu.

I developed the magic that came to my mind while being caught in Choi Do-won’s bondage technique.

it’s gold.

The number of self-destruction that temporarily gains stronger power by replacing one’s own life.

keying.

When I activated the spell, a terrible feeling as if something fundamental within me was melting away came over me.

And, that much spiritual power overflowed my body explosively.

Choi Do-won’s bondage skills, who received the aftermath, were broken without help.

Zeng!

“Han Kang-yoon!”

“… Are you out of your mind!”

Naturally, both professors were shocked when they noticed it. As long as I activated this spell, it was actually the norm that I too would lose my life.

“… brother?”

Han Seo-ah, who did not know what I had done, gave a worried expression.

I said, stroking Han Seo-ah’s hair.

“… Everything will be fine.”

The situation was dire. Baek Ji-eun, feeling an unusual sign, stepped forward and ran straight to me as if it were being shot.

From now on, we must do our best.

Whoops.

“Golung (骨熊).”

Fuwaak!

[Oh!]

Gool-woong, a bony bear that jumped out at my call, rushed to Baek Ji-eun. Also nearby were the Hungrang and the Black Swan.

“… I’d say it’s useless.”

Tuoung!

Woo Jijik!

[I remember!]

crispy!

It was also not enough to stop Baek Ji-eun. Just by putting the amulet on his arm and exclaiming his power, Golung had a hole in his chest and was commanded.

However, that was enough. Because in the first place, it was just a matter of taking time.

Thanks to you, the preparations for the spell were over.

“Taebaek is Gongryun.”

“… what!”

At the mantras I uttered, an expression of disbelief appeared on the faces of Baek Ji-eun and Choi Do-won.

Even so, the fact that he was reciting a mantra in this way prior to the activation of the rite meant that he was preparing for at least a higher rite.

“… Come all the way here and brag.”

Choi Do-won muttered with a displeased face, but I didn’t care and kept moving my mouth.

“Taoyuan is goodness.”

At the same time, a vast spiritual power began to swirl around me.

Only then did the professors understand. That I am really trying to develop a higher technique.

“Professor Choi!”

“… Know.”

Choi Do-won, who had a hardened expression on his face, made a sign and once again shouted the starter of bondage art.

“Drawing into the air!”

The slimy spirit power tried to seize me, but it was turned to nothing by the desperately blocked thugs and black swans.

squeak!

[Gigi. gig.]

[Good profit!]

The Hungrang, which had already suffered heavy damage from Baek Ji-eun, was completely removed and shattered, and the Black Swan was suppressed and unable to move any more.

And finally, the magic was completed.

“The Palgong Seon Ha Mangju (汃攻旋荷罔駐).”

Fuwaak!

Palgongseon Hamanju.

As its name suggests, it is a bondage art that shocks and binds the enemy with waves of spiritual power.

Baek Ji-eun, who was running, was swept away by the waves of spiritual power, and Choi Do-won also performed defensive techniques, but could not avoid the influence.

“Wow!”

In a way, it was natural. Because I was responding to the fight by squeezing out even the last drop of vitality right now.

Higher magic that was activated at the cost of life is not something that can be easily countered.

‘At least if you know how to respond, or level 50 or higher, it’s unreasonable.’

Baek Ji-eun and Choi Do-won, who had been hit directly, stiffened in an instant, and I took the opportunity to approach Han Seo-ah.

👌👌👌👌

With an amulet out of my arms, I also used the bondage technique on Han Seo-ah.

“Clean squash.”

👌👌👌👌👌

A blue chain came out of the amulet, and Seo-ah Han, tied to it, faced me with a complicated face.

“… brother?”

“Everything will be fine.”

This is where it matters.

I put my hand near Han Seo-ah’s abdomen and began to develop the spell I had in mind.

tsuzu.

“I guess I didn’t pay any attention.”

“… do not say that. I never thought of it that way.”

At that, I shrugged. In fact, it is true that I did not pay much attention to various worries. Because I was a completely different person from the original Han Kang-yoon.

However, even if that happens, as long as he decides to live as Han Kang-yoon, he will do well in his family role.

‘Originally, Han Seo-ah was not in a position to die here.’

In a way, the current situation is the butterfly effect caused by my actions, and just observing it is not in my temper.

“… … .”

I said earlier that it was impossible to instantly negate the magic engraved on Han Seo-ah’s body.

‘However, it is possible to move it to a specific object.’

I will transfer the magic of the Resurrection Ritual into my body.

Paz.

The pulsating scars on Han Seo-ah’s body began to fade gradually, and on the contrary, it appeared again through my forearms and neck.

Han Seo-ah noticed this and was shocked.

“Wait a moment! stop!”

“I want to explain, but I don’t have time.”

The remaining time limit is less than 1 minute. It’s quite daunting.

“no! don’t do it!”

Han Seo-ah cried bitterly, but she could not move because of the bondage.

In the end, I succeeded in transferring all the magic of the resurrection ritual engraved on Han Seo-ah to me.

dreaming.

it is clearly felt That the completion of the magic is near.

I cleared my mind and said to Han Seo-ah, who was in despair.

“Take Choi Do-won and Baek Ji-eun as shields.”

Goo!

Immediately after, with the completion of the magic, my body fell to the ground as if it had collapsed.

***

Han Seo-ah was desperate.

Because I never dreamed that something like this would happen because of my actions.

“ah… … .”

Han Kang-yoon’s body collapsed as if it were torn apart, and at the same time, the bondage that had constrained his body was also released. Seo-ah Han hastily lifted it up with blank eyes.

“… iced coffee.”

how did this happen

A lot of thoughts rushed through my mind, but I couldn’t put it into words. Han Seo-ah blamed herself and only shed tears.

‘because of me… … .’

Han Kang-yoon was not someone who could just die because of something like me.

He will surely accomplish even greater things in the future, and he will be the pride of the orphanage families.

But his life was over. In an instant.

The two people approached behind Han Seo-ah, who knelt and blamed herself.

It was Baek Ji-eun and Choi Do-won, who were released from the influence of witchcraft.

“Huh, really. I don’t know what I saw.”

“… … .”

He didn’t say anything, but Choi Do-won agreed with Baek Ji-eun’s words.

“It’s ridiculous.”

No matter how much he sacrificed his life, it was impossible for an ordinary student to do this.

Han Kang-yoon, who has developed talent, was a lumber that may have grown beyond Sophia.

However, now that is impossible.

Because Han Kang-yoon has already died.

“How did the resurrection ceremony go?”

“Since he has already used the gold technique of life replacement, it probably could not have been completed unless the subject was changed to Han Kang-yoon… … .”

kuung.

The moment Baek Ji-eun was about to finish her speech, the suddenly heavy air pressed down on all sides.

“What!”

“… Damn, are you saying it was successful in the end?”

Fuwaak!

Immediately after, a hemispherical pile of dirt rose from the ground a little further away from the three of them.

It was like a tomb, and it looked like a cave leading to the basement.

From there, an absurdly vicious yogi began to flow.

Baek Ji-eun bit her lips, and Choi Do-won let out a sigh mixed with lamentation.

“… Damn it, it’s all dead.”

From the entrance of the pile of dirt, something slowly appeared.

Although they hadn’t faced all of them yet, Ji-eun Baek and Do-won Choi felt intense fear after a long time.

“Huh, it was buried at the bottom of the island.”

“… I don’t know who it is, but the guy who used this place as a testing ground must be a rare idiot.”

The two professors quickly entered a fighting stance. The odds of winning seemed slim, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t give up your life quietly.

However, that promise meant nothing.

“Huh, ugh!”

Immediately after, Choi Do-won suddenly sat down in place. At some point, hideous scars were wriggling all over Choi Do-won’s body, and he soon lost consciousness.

“… This is nonsense.”

just made eye contact. With that alone, Choi Do-won, who possesses skills comparable to that of a second-class exorcist, is like that.

It was self-evident that he was a completely different opponent.

[──!]

A strange, unintelligible sound hit my ear.

Baek Ji-eun concentrated and adjusted her posture. Whatever it is, it has to do some damage. That way, I would be able to leave even a slight hope for other professors.

However.

Fuwaak!

drop.

drop.

“Big!”

In the blink of an eye, there was a huge hole in Baek Ji-eun’s abdomen.

‘How the hell is this… … .’

Finally, with a blank face, Baek Ji-eun also collapsed on the spot.

“… … .”

All the professors were beaten. That too in an instant.

Han Seo-ah effortlessly wiped away her tears and carefully laid Han Kang-yoon on the ground. And he raised his trembling body.

‘At least, even just one arm… … .’

I didn’t want to come here and live. Because he has already lost everything.

However, there was a being who had awakened by sacrificing Han Kang-yoon. I absolutely couldn’t tolerate it.

After doing what you can, you will die too.

Whoops.

The moment when Han Seo-ah made her final determination while holding the amulet that was taken out of Han Kang-yoon’s arms. A strange sound began to resound everywhere.

coogong.

coogong.

It was like a beating heart, and it felt like something was pulsating.

coogong.

The source of such a sound was Han Kang-yoon, lying on the floor.

Precisely, from his shadow touching his body.

“… brother?”

Even though she knew it was an absurd imagination, Han Seo-ah called for Han Kang-yoon without giving up her regrets.

Immediately after, Han Kang-yoon, who he thought was dead, woke up in response and slowly got up from his seat.

“… Head hurts.”

With a frown on his face, he gazed at the enemy who had awakened by sacrificing himself.
