chapter 111
111 – Deviation (6)
My mother’s limbs, lying dead and lying there, could no longer move.
Mortality worked well. It’s an attack that inflicts fatal damage even on necromancers, but maybe that’s because they only have their heads left.
Among the means I have, there is nothing better to prevent rebirth, and unlike in Selma, these people were left with only their heads left and there was no way to block or avoid them.
The effect was amazing.
“Is this the little Nauri’s talent?”
“Yes. “What you brought to me was a good decision.”
I don’t know if he brought it to me because he could not kill it because of his level of regenerative power, but it doesn’t seem like he brought it to me because he knew of my ability. Br﹥
Just a coincidence.
However, even if it is a skill that I guessed by chance, it is the virtue of a proper warrior to praise someone who helps me with it.
I gave Esha a wave of her hand.
Without hesitation, Esha came straight to me and peeked her head out her, and I covered Esha’s lips with her other hand and stroked her head.
In that sense, meditation was quite effective even if it was only 15 minutes.
‘It doesn’t have magical power, but it’s good for mental and physical stability. Would you like to learn?’
Thank you, Melody.
Thanks to this, I calmly petted the elf assassin as if I was petting a dog, while smelling the good smell emanating from Esha’s body her her her. Esha, who seemed dissatisfied at first, soon began to calmly pet me as well.
“… Ah, the little Nauri is great to pet.”
They even close their eyes and tremble in joy.
It was a bit like a dog.
In a good way.
“Is one of your parents a dog person?”
“No, I’m not sure because I’m an orphan.”
“What a coincidence. “Me too.”
“Oh. “I didn’t know.”
I knew that I was adopted by a southern elf abbot, but I never thought I knew anything about my parents.
But at the same time, it was understandable. If you look at their absolutely miserable manners, it seems like no one gave them proper home education when they were young.
I looked around, remembering my gratitude for my sister.
“How many potential enemies do you think are left inside?”
“There won’t be any. “I killed everyone who got in my way.”
It’s not something to talk about cheerfully, but I can say that my worries have eased.
They probably never thought that a hired assassin would betray them.
And if all the reward is a few kisses and caresses on the forehead and lips.
I guess I can’t even close my eyes because it’s so unfair.
After talking about it, I felt like I was a red light district employee who sold my body to instigate an assassination.
Even that sense of self-destruction is probably something I have to deal with.
It was about time I swallowed that bitterness.
“So what are you going to do now?”
“Well.”
The threat was quickly crushed.
It was easier than fighting myself, I sent the best assassin in the world to deal with it.
I felt like a powerful person, but unlike a powerful person, I didn’t have anything to use it as an opportunity right after that.
At best, I would look around this dungeon, find useful items, find out where it is, and then find a way back.
“Shall we walk around first?”
“Is it so. “Can I follow you?”
“Well, there’s nothing that can’t be done.”
And what she experienced in real life, not in a game, was that Esha was quieter than she expected.
Even in the game, she never showed much of a desire to kill or anything like that, so I just thought it was a ‘game limitation’.
It occurred to her that maybe she was a quieter person than she thought.
“Would you like me to hold your hand?”
“You want to catch it.”
“Then won’t you catch me?”
“Please, try.”
“Please.”
“… Now.”
Rather, it was okay because it was a bit dog-like.
Wouldn’t it be okay if you control it well?
The possibility of betrayal is that ‘Nauri’ and ‘Little Nauri’ tend not to survive, so if you are good at it, you may be able to work them without pay.
My heart is weak towards my own people, so even if I try to manipulate them, it might not be that bad.
As she was thinking that it might be better for him, the hand she was holding began to wiggle.
It was a touch that instantly reminded me of Isla and made me startle.
I rolled my head desperately trying to distract myself.
Oh, come to think of it.
“I think I told my sister that the ending wasn’t good. “What happened?”
“Oh, didn’t you hear? Well, it’s not something good to tell others.”
Esha covers her mouth and smiles expressionlessly.
She clasped my hand and shook it, then she smiled.
“You keep bothering me. “I killed him.”
Oh, isn’t it?
Is this guy a b*tch?
“Who… ?”
“With a nobleman and a powerful next dean… “Yes.”
“How could you be such a bother?”
“He wants to court me persistently.”
Ah, I could understand that too.
Of course, I am a merciful person, so I wouldn’t have killed him, but I would have broken him at least in one place.
On the one hand, my sister understood. He must have secretly killed people in that way.
Besides, he happens to be a nobleman and the next dean. Even if you try to kill someone in that school, it’s normal, and if you’re a noble, it’s not strange if you’re wanted.
I guess that’s why my sister stayed away from me.
Then, maybe the reason why my sister acted so belligerently and thornily.
“You don’t look good?”
“There is such a thing.”
Suddenly, I remember the look Lorian made when he sucked my blood, and the look he made to me when my sister was on Earth.
Just thinking about that reason makes me anxious.
I already have Isla. Actually, Isla said that she would be okay with it if it meant taking her concubine.
For me, who has a modern way of thinking, it was an object of agony.
But anyway, we kept walking and arrived at the core of the dungeon.
A place with rewards and a separate reward device for homunculi.
Hey, it’s been a really long time since I’ve been in a dungeon.
I think I barely used it after getting the Precious Blood, but since I wasn’t used to actually using the item, I often forgot about it.
Ah, I should have used my blood when I was fighting earlier.
If I had done that, I would have been hurt less. As I was unable to swallow my regret, Esha tilted her head.
“Why did you come here? “The person sitting here is already dead.”
“To get compensation.”
“Compensation? “I already received it.”
“No, not you. Me. “How can a person only think about himself?”
“I have to take care of my own life.”
“That is correct. “A harsh word.”
I pretended to hit the honey chestnut, but Esha shrewdly dodged my attack and laughed.
It’s a bit of a mess.
But as much as she caught her drift, there was nothing left in her reward room that could be called a reward.
At best, it’s a dead, topless corpse lying on the floor and a scaffolding that looks like a reward-gaining device for the homunculus.
It’s a shame.
The rewards usually have synergy with the homunculus rewards, so it’s good to eat them together.
It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped. With a sad look on my face, I headed towards the place where I was asked to stamp my hand.
For some reason, it seems like there aren’t many cases of properly conquering a dungeon, and most of the time it seems like they’re just robbing empty houses of someone who has already robbed them.
Still, it was a good thing. I put my hand on the device, and as if something was filling up my vision, something tingling pricked my palm.
“Yes? This…”
[Adult exoskeleton]
[“My father was born strong. Our creation should also be like that.”
-Orthemilia, alchemist.
This is a test piece created with great care by Ortemilia, a renowned scholar of three clans. It is a trace of an attempt to recreate the fate that follows those who were once gods, and it is a failure.]
[After injection, when the user receives an effect with a duration, temporary health is gained proportional to the duration.
The temporary stamina is consumed along with the duration, and the depletion of the temporary stamina affects the duration.
Temporary health is given 1 every 6 seconds.]
“Oh.”
The effect was much better than expected.
In particular, the synergy between my condolences and the repeated remembrances was good.
Just as I did when I fought Selma last time, the longer the duration accumulated through repeated remembrance, the more beneficial it would be to me.
As the name and description suggest, this will truly make me as strong as a god.
“I want to try it out.”
“I don’t like tests.”
“Not you. “No, is that you?”
As she glanced and rolled her eyes, she saw Esha. The elf dog still held my hand with expressionless expression.
I thought for a moment and then closed my eyes.
[Mourning]
[Time remaining: 60 seconds]
[Temporary stamina: 10]
What comes to mind is Selma. The image of the tree becoming lifeless and pulsating like a natural object.
I felt like something was stirring in my heart and I exhaled.
Power flows through the body. There was only strength flowing without the characteristic tingle that I always felt when writing condolences.
Was that, after all, the mother’s work? I opened my eyes while thinking.
My skin felt strangely itchy.
“Esha.”
“A little better.”
“Hit it.”
“Good.”
Oh, I don’t even hesitate-
A sound like, “Eok!” Rings out. My head tilts, my body starts to bounce back and then stops.
It was because the hands were still intertwined.
[Time remaining: 117 seconds]
[Temporary stamina: 19]
[Time remaining: 42 seconds]
[Temporary stamina: 7]
A sight that appears in your field of vision for a moment and then disappears.
In addition, the sound of laughter flowing like ‘Ahaha’.
“I like the small Nauri because it is sturdy.”
Even though my head was shaking due to the effects of mourning, I wasn’t dizzy, but I was embarrassed.
No, you kicked my head without even asking me to hit you?
As expected, the crazy b*tch was right. I gritted my teeth and raised my arm to block.
Once again, boom.
“Huh? Something…”
[Time remaining: 90 seconds]
[Temporary stamina: 15]
A quick kick like an arrow aimed at my head, solar plexus, and chest one after another.
I blocked all those attacks with my eyes wide open.
Each time, I saw the remaining time and temporary stamina briefly decreasing and then increasing, and Esha’s curious reaction.
It works. I could barely feel the pain, but I could feel that I was getting stronger just by looking at Esha’s expression
“It’s solid.”
But there is no reason to keep getting hit. If you have experienced it, this is enough.
I shouted while holding on to the leg that was trying to kick my head.
“Stop! Stop!”
“Okay.”
It stops tall. It was close because he tried to kick the knee with the caught leg but stopped.
We made eye contact like that.
I opened my mouth. How was it? How did it feel when you kicked it?
I wanted to hear the story from the perspective of the person who kicked it to see if it seemed a bit hard.
However, I could not hear the words I opened my mouth.
What is it?
What is happening?
It was then.
“Ideal implementation.”
The words that come out of my mouth disappear. It volatilizes and a craze blows into the empty space.
Esha opened her eyes wide in surprise and had no time to return her outstretched legs.
―!
A roar came.
The direction from which the sound is heard is up. The fever comes. Roaring noises and shock waves dig deep into the dungeon.
The sound of thunder. Earth and sand flying over and pieces of stone flying.
Familiar structures are torn apart and blown away. What is revealed is the bright blue sky.
A long passage that extends until it reaches the sky, and a patter of silt pouring down from the passage.
The firepower to tear out an entire dungeon hidden underground. As far as I know, only one person has this firepower.
I looked up at the sky.
“I found it.”
There was a person standing in the middle of the sky.
“… “Sister.”
As if he hadn’t heard, the sister floating in the air emitted an eerie glow from her eyes and fell towards the ground.
“I will kill you.”
After landing on the ground with a deadly voice, he immediately stands up and clenches his fists. Just like me, my sister grits her teeth to relieve her anger.
It was useless, but it also told me something.
There is not much time left until the collision.
“Aha.”
Esha seems to be just as excited. She let go of my hand and quickly pulled out her two daggers.
When I saw that, my perception accelerated.
Esha has already become my potential colleague. She has no room for betrayal and has proven to be loyal, not loyal.
If you make me fight with my sister here, it will be a loss if either of you gets hurt.
Then she would need to stop her sister, who saw Esha pressing her knee against her.
It is not strange if there is a misunderstanding. I even lost my reason due to the anger that came with blood rushing to my head.
There is no time to calmly persuade my sister. My older sister, Nae Shana, has high agility, so her mobility is considerable, and once the fight begins, the showdown will come quickly.
Even Esha doesn’t listen to me. This crazy b*tch was already planning on fighting.
How much do you like fighting?
I looked at the two women one after another, conflicted.
Fucked.
There seems to be no room for dialogue.
When I think about it, from my sister’s perspective her her her younger brother her her her was kidnapped right in front of her.
It’s natural to lose your temper and go wild.
Esha didn’t even want to explain, and she even tried to punish her sister by explaining her her ideals.
There was only one way to stop it.
I made a decision to save the country.
“Yoon Se-ah!”
The older sister who was about to rush towards her froze in shock, and when Esha saw her frozen older sister, she smiled and stopped.
Between the two women, I saw my older sister.
Her surprised face was staring at me blankly.
I opened my mouth with an awkward smile.
“I’m fine.”
I didn’t know if this was a good decision.
There was no way to return spilled water, so I accepted it.
