LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 96
96 – Abyss (1)
– Tiring.
[Remaining Blood: 260]
Perhaps because he wasn’t facing Iris, the blood was slowly filling up.
Maybe I received too much, and I feel a little dizzy.
And Iris, who foretold that everything would end…
spoke quietly.
“But, going to the rescue is the opposite.”
Prissy’s eyes shake at her determination.
“then… !”
Iris, still expressionless, raised her finger with difficulty.
It felt cold.
“First, the magic infusion is not over yet.”
I picked up the shirt that was spread out and put it over her shoulders.
Iris blew another finger and said.
“Second, if Lee Ha-yu’s magical power is wasted, the magic circle will never be completed.”
That’s right.
The problem was that even if I was to receive magical power from Iris, Rain had the final chapter to activate the magic circle.
‘If you find out about this… ‘
I don’t know if Iris noticed this, but it was also true that it was a situation where I had to go to Rein for the plan.
Prissy clenched her fists.
“I know… So even if I’m alone… !”
Perhaps knowing that she couldn’t convince Iris, she thought of going to the rescue alone.
-widely.
“!!”
I said holding her arm.
“Prissy, wait a minute.”
“There is no time… !”
“calm down. It will be fine.”
“Hayau-san… I’m fine. So please wait a minute. If I go and tell Eliana… maybe send… ”
“No.”
“… ”
“That will never happen.”
Sending Prissy alone is the worst.
Eliana would listen to her words, but… It will cost you a lot.
It’s like leaving fish to a cat.
Forever with Prissy… it will be goodbye
Inevitably, I had to make a decision.
“maybe… I have a way… ”
“Way…?”
Because there are no other options.
‘Remaining seven deadly points.’
After a long time concentrating, the status window appeared.
– Tiring.
——————————-
Remaining Seven Deadly Sins: 58
Strength: 30
Endurance (Mental Power): 30
Intellect: 30
mana: 40 (limited)
Flexible: 20
Luck: 30
——————————-
“… … ”
The Seven Deadly Sins score will continue to rise anyway.
Because Iris said that the magical power to be handed over is not over yet.
So in order to do anything, you have to find a way to distribute the points right now.
[※]
[Caution for family members]
[If a follower dies, the ‘Fellow of Blood’ skill will also disappear]
[If the caster’s intelligence increases, additional effects can be obtained]
Besides, obviously, according to the family of blood that I checked the other day, additional effects can also be obtained through stat enhancement.
’10 in intelligence.’
[※Intellect 30>40 Completion]
Let’s focus lightly, the intended status window popped up.
[Enhanced Ability – Follower of Blood]
[Step: 2]
[Blood consumption to maintain family members disappears]
[You can cast ‘Absolute Command’ that is not limited by time and space]
“Also… … ”
my clan. Cassidy
The person who becomes Lane’s older sister.
I don’t have a single fond memory of her from the past, but one thing is for sure, Cassidy is pretty strong.
Thanks to Lane’s ranking, it’s probably near the academy,
Even if it’s not that, if it’s for the younger brother he cares about, he’ll come running one step at a time.
I concentrated once more and gave the order.
Thinking of her face that I thought I would never draw in my entire life…
‘Go get Lane.’
-thud!
[Use as much as 49!]
‘ugh… ah.’
In an instant, my heart squeezed as if it were shrinking, and the blood chalice gleamed.
‘Did it happen…?’
It’s a long story, but when you see that Blood has escaped…
[Residual Blood: 211]
and… The remaining points…
[Remaining Seven Deadly Sins: 48]
’10 in strength.’
– Tiring.
[※ Strength 30 -> 40 completed]
[Strength increases to 5 levels]
[Physical property skills are strengthened]
There seemed to be no singularity other than the enhanced equivalent exchange.
‘next… in the spirit… no… ‘
I told you not to over-invest your mental power, so hold it for now… lets do it.
’20 on flexible.’
[※ Flexible 20>40 completed]
[Flexibility rises to 5 levels]
[Blood consumption reduced by 50%]
[Blood magic proficiency rises to level 5]
“Finally 10 to luck.”
[※Luck 30>40 done]
[Luck increases to level 5]
[You are the goddess of luck, right in front of you!]
[※]
[I wish you luck]
‘End?’
——————————-
Remaining Seven Deadly Sins: 18
Strength: 40
Endurance (Mental Power): 30
Intellect: 40
mana: 40 (limited)
Flexible: 40
Luck: 40
——————————-
‘I can’t do this… ?’
Even with this level of inflation, the limit on magical power was not lifted.
‘Is all 40 a condition… ‘
It’s a bit awkward to raise the last mana, but I need to take a picture of mental strength…
Circumstances are circumstances, there is nothing you can do about it.
’10 in mental strength… ‘
[※Spirit 30>40 completed.]
[Spirit increases to level 4]
[Blood’s recovery cycle becomes faster > 1 recovery every 20 minutes]
[※]
[It is not recommended to overinvest in mental power]
“… … ”
All stats were raised to level 4, but there was no such thing as an additional status window where you could invest points in magic.
mana is still limited.
Then everything except magic power is 50.
In other words, you have to shoot to the maximum to know.
‘I have no choice but to get more magic power… ‘
“Hayu…?”
“ah.”
Before that, the image of me standing still with my eyes closed saying there is a way is more suspicious.
I opened my mouth to reassure Prissy, who was watching this curiously.
“First… Aspondell’s… So… I sent someone I know. I will help Lady Lane.”
“yes? what does that say… ?”
“Please believe me. There is something I told you beforehand.”
“… … !”
Prissy seemed to have a bad feeling, she knew something, but fortunately she didn’t ask any more.
I looked into Iris’ eyes next.
‘… How can I justify this to Iris… ?’
The blood family system is a skill in the game.
Making them understand this is a waste of time, and finding out that they secretly have subordinates…
“… Hmm~.”
“!”
At that time, her occasional chuimsae landed terrifyingly in my ears.
-chuck.
She quietly took my arm and put me back in my seat.
“?”
“… Also.”
“…?”
“… You secretly left behind me.”
‘Did it get fucked?’
It seems that he noticed.
I thought it would be better to keep it a secret from Iris…
I said, avoiding her gaze.
“… … No face. I couldn’t help it.”
“… The magic formula, the hidden thing… ”
“… … yes…”
“… ”
“But, I will bring it back… ”
“… I thought it was faith.”
“… !”
– Tiring.
[The Seven Deadly Sins: Obtain 0 points of Rage from ‘Iris A. Valhalla’]
‘0… points?’
As if the autumn wind was blowing on Iris’ face, loneliness lingered.
She asked me in a trembling voice.
“… What you whispered to me earlier All candy coated?”
“that… no.”
“…Your expression has changed.”
“yes… ?”
“… Because the saintess and Rain are intertwined,”
“Iris-sama… ?”
– Took.
“???”
Iris gently pushed me away.
However, I feel that my whole body is energized.
and..
-Swieik!!!!
A terrible fog wraps around my body.
‘Unique barrier… ?’
-Wheei Ying… !
I was falling.
It’s definitely a sanctuary where there are no cliffs, but why…
– Mr. Hayu!!!! Howu… !! under… !
Finally, Prissy’s echoing voice.
So I fall into the pit of the deep abyss.
.
.
.
-Titling!
My eyes open with a beep.
[Residual Blood: 277]
“Khew!”
Throbbing exhilarating pain.
Is it the influence of mental strength and flexibility?
Blood was filling up like crazy, like water rising from a heavy rain.
– Belt! Ring!!!
“eww… Whoops!”
[Remaining Blood: 285]
Every time magic permeates, it hurts, of course,
Barely, even the beep in the status window that informed me of this was a pain that hit my ears and head.
“Turn off… ha… ”
in a pitch-black space.
Iris, as if she was very angry, took the form of a complete demon with her bewitching horns exposed.
“… Hey, Miss Iris… ?”
“… You said you were going to help me, right?”
It is difficult to answer.
“ah… under… yes… ”
I noticed now that my bodily sensations were numb, but I was tied to something.
It’s kind of like mind control… By the way… It’s too painful for such a dream.
I want to die. Coming this far, I just want to give up.
“!”
In the darkness, in the narrow field of view, the only thing I can see is the new type of Iris…
– Again and again.
She came closer to me and said.
“… I want to ask you one thing.”
“…”
Then, unexpected words came out of Iris’ small mouth.
“… I plan to abandon you… ”
“?!”
throw away
That word is a little mind-boggling.
This time, Iris’s voice appears behind her back.
“… Will you still help me?”
“ship… Are you a god… ?”
“… … ”
Silence follows instead of an answer.
Suddenly, her tightly closed mouth disappeared like a mirage.
Are you just looking at me?
Or you can make your own followers and hide the magic formula…
Are you trying to punish me for doing something that disrupts those plans?
My doubts hover in the air.
“what… do you mean… ”
Iris’ words start to hum at my question.
“The space movement magic circle, what if it’s not for you?”
“… ”
“It’s all about entrusting your magic power to you… lie.”
“…”
“… The demons have a coming-of-age ceremony, or else… runaway… Moreover, when a human with magical qualities and a mixed demon’s magical power meet… It becomes very unstable.”
I always felt that demonic magic had a different feel…
Iris spoke one letter at a time as if telling me to listen.
“I just gave you a time bomb… .”
It feels like a ticking sound is heard in my ears at the moment.
It was so bleak.
If Iris doesn’t speak… Feeling alone in the world…
So I had no choice but to think.
“… … ”
However…
Something is strange.
Suh Soon-i…
What’s the point of saying this now?
– Tiring.
“Kwaaah!”
At that time, like a big wave, a status window popped up with extreme pain different from before.
[Residual Blood: 301]
[※ Excessive blood magic penalty: Explodes when blood reaches 444!]
‘What…?’
So far, the blood magic penalty…
It was a step-by-step penalty when Blood went negative.
‘Excessive bleeding wasn’t the only penalty… ?’
The reason why mental strength was not recommended as ignorance.
Blood Excess…
Was it because of this dogged system?
“Ha ha ha ha ha… ”
Laughter, pointless laughter.
‘It was my destiny to live with a blood bag from the beginning… ? damn…’
I got used to the pain that was secreted in an instant.
However, my spirit was still falling towards the bottom.
And Iris, who didn’t know what to say, spoke slowly and lowly, but as if she was forcibly punching me in the head.
I want to give up, and I can’t help it even if I don’t want to hear it.
“… Multiplying magical power, the moment it becomes uncontrollable.”
-gulp.
As if I was rebelling against this, I deliberately timed it and swallowed the saliva mixed with blood.
Even that took a lot of strength.
“… A monster, it might be.”
“… ”
Something that happened during the festival that Catherine spilled.
And the turning point of the festival ending that popped up is a future where I become a monster and run wild… may have been a foreshadowing of
Was it really a magic bag…
Are there any garbage games like this…
Iris’s words continued.
“… Space movement, high-ranking magic. I need high-density magic power higher than that of the magic tower. And while you can contain demonic magic, you are also human… such a fit.”
Perhaps, Iris has been studying alone in order to survive.
In the cabin in the woods,
And while shedding my own blood, I experimented on myself…
“… The manifestation of human magic and the constantly rising magic of demons, the instantaneous power that arises when these two conflict… Space movement, the highest level of magic, is also possible… ”
In other words, the moment my blood reaches 444, the space movement will succeed…
Take yourself somewhere safe… Something that will move you…?
No, on the contrary, he might be thinking of bringing in and summoning a new demon king, the endgame monster from somewhere.
Anyway, as a sacrifice… I mean.
“under… … ”
The chalice of blood that gleamed before my eyes from time to time… Now it was completely engulfed in blood.
And as if it would soon be broken by this clump of clotted blood… It was shaking dangerously.
.
.
.
how long has it been
When I barely regained consciousness, Iris was in front of me.
“…?”
She grabbed my cheeks, looked into my eyes, and whispered.
“… My last magic, join me.”
A feeling different from other demons… It may have been the most human enemy.
