02. Visitor from the future (20)

The three-person sword returned after decapitating the boss monster and landed itself in my hand.

Ung-woong – The three-person sword seemed to be satisfied with being able to cut down a horse.

A boss monster that can no longer move after being decapitated.

From the wreckage of the corpse, a brilliant magic stone fell.

“Kim Yi-jin, you….”

Baek Ji-soo’s astonished voice broke the silence of the quiet library.

“That was just… Is it the unique skill of the item?”

A small open mouth and raised eyes. Compared to her usual expressionless face, anyone could tell that she was very surprised.

I tried to say something because it was just ridiculous.

Thumping!

I was speechless at the sudden pain that seemed to squeeze my heart out.

“Kuk!”

Puff! The world turns sideways

No, that’s not it, I fell to the floor.

I have no strength in my whole body. The muscles of the whole body lose strength and I can’t even lift a finger because of the feeling of exhaustion, but even so, because of the pain that tightens my heart, only my jaw muscles open wide like a spinal reflex, and a scream leaks out.

“Gp, keaaa!!”

“Kim Lee-jin… !”

In my blurry vision, I saw Baek Ji-soo limping and walking towards me.

However, I was struggling to breathe as I rolled on the floor in pain that made it difficult to even breathe properly.

“Ouch… !!”

I noticed the three-person sword rolling on the floor with me, as if I had missed it before I knew it.

I came to a vague realization amid the dizzying pain.

Yam is a unique skill of an A-rank item. It was only natural to consume that amount of mana.

My magic stat is only D-. Judging from the power of the three-person sword, it was as if I had used an A-rank, top-of-the-line seasonal skill, but it was impossible for me to handle the huge consumption of magic power with my insignificant magic box.

Empty hearts and overloaded magic circuits from forcibly squeezing mana. The burden took a direct hit to the body.

“Lee Jin, wake up! Ijin Kim!”

I’m used to enduring pain.

However, the pain of having her magic circuit torn to shreds was so unbearable that it made me feel as if my internal organs were being ripped apart.

“Quaaa!!”

“Wait, wait… soon… !”

I think someone is calling me, but I’m not sure what the voice is.

Suddenly, even the pain becomes dull and all sensations are far away.

Can you really die like this? So awkward?

“Turn it off… !!”

I tightened my eyes and bit my lip.

A sharp pain felt on the lower lip, along with the fishy smell of blood in the mouth.

I had to stay alert somehow. It was because if I lost consciousness like this, I would really die.

First of all, calm down the overheated and shredded mana circuit.

However, no matter how much my heart beats and how much magic I squeeze out, not a drop of magic is created.

Even the heart that was supposed to generate magic had stretched out.

Is there really no way?

I haven’t made a master piece yet, and I haven’t been able to keep my promise to help Yoon Seo-hee….

That was the moment.

“… Thank god. I am still conscious.”

I felt someone’s presence by my bedside and heard a voice full of relief.

“Ijin Kim, can you hear me? I will synchronize my magic from now on.”

A small hand grabbed the hem of my jacket and pulled it up roughly. The cool air hit the hot skin.

She placed her palm on her chest, exactly where the heart is.

Her palms against her bare skin were soft, but her body temperature was very cool.

“You must never let go of your consciousness. Concentrate and accept the magic I am sending you.”

I could see a white girl concentrating on her breathing through the foggy vision.

She put the shiny stone into her mouth and swallowed it without biting.

Ugh- The magic power that came out of her palm pierced my heart.

Shooaaa – pure white magic like the first snow rushed like a wave.

The magical power that flows through the magical power tuning is originally someone else’s, so when it flows into the heart, it has a considerable repulsive force.

However, the pure white magic she sent was pure and innocent, just like a natural keeper.

A white magical power that is as pure as its own color and does not have any turbidity.

That’s why I gulped down the magic that flowed through my heart as if I had ingested an elixir.

Her magic power penetrates the heart and spreads like a spider’s web to circulate throughout the body. Leave your body as it is without going against the flow.

The pure white mana did not just circulate in the circuit, but if there was a torn or cracked part, it stuck to the spot and became part of my mana.

“Haaa….”

My breathing, which was suffering from pain, is gradually stabilizing.

On the contrary, the mind and body feel perfectly at ease.

It made me want to stay like this all the time in a comfortable mood, as if I was floating on clouds.

“It works… This will be fine for a while.”

I heard a relieved voice as if I had finally relieved my sigh.

With those words, the amount of mana that penetrated the heart gradually decreased.

It’s not completely gone, but compared to just a moment ago, it was a drastically insufficient amount.

Huh? Already?

I still want to eat some more.

Like a child deprived of snacks, I felt a strong sense of resistance to the feeling of being deprived of snacks.

Now I’ve only tasted it, but it’s still not enough.

Instead of meekly accepting the flowing mana, I moved the restored mana of the circuit and penetrated her body through my palms.

“Hassuk… !?”

The mana that stretched all the way arrived at her heart through a connected circuit.

What, you’ve been piling up a lot here?

There were so many of them, so I didn’t think there would be any problem if I ate more.

I tastefully sucked in pure and clean magic like an elixir.

“Kim Lee-jin… ! Whoops, wait a minute… !”

Suddenly, I felt a strong sense of resistance, and my mana bounced out of my heart. It was as if he was trying to chase me away.

I didn’t like that.

Instead of being unable to enter the heart, it runs around the whole body’s mana circuit to the fullest.

It was to scrape off any residual mana left in the circuit, and it was also a protest to be let into the heart.

“Oh, okay. Stop… don’t notice….”

The sense of resistance to kick me out has weakened.

Only then was I able to freely receive and consume more of the magical energy that had accumulated in her heart.

My mana was engulfing the pure white mana before I knew it, and it was growing bigger and bigger.

I felt that my magic stat increased tremendously in real time.

I was going to eat in moderation, but I ate enough to the point that my stomach would explode without realizing it.

It was around that time that my hazy consciousness began to become clearer.

“Ummm….”

I opened my eyes slowly, as if waking up from sleep.

Did you lose consciousness briefly?

I can’t quite remember what happened.

I grabbed the death sword and suddenly my heart started to hurt like crazy… I think I just fell down.

I feel like I ate something delicious in a hazy mind.

“Huh?”

Why is my top half off? I was frightened at the sight of my breasts exposed and tidied up my disheveled clothes.

It was only then that I could find Baek Ji-soo looking down at me from my bedside.

“Blank number?”

She turned her naturally white cheeks red like tomatoes, and she was looking at me with quivering eyes as she held my shoulder with one of her arms.

It was a gaze that seemed to see the unscrupulous things in the world.

‘Why?’

Is it because I took off my top?

But I don’t remember. It was very unfortunate.

After a while, Baek Ji-soo seemed to have calmed down a bit, and after quietly exhaling, he returned to his expressionless expression, showing no emotion as usual.

“Are you awake?”

“Uh. What happened?”

“You used a skill and fell down from magical exhaustion.”

I can remember up to that point. The pain was so intense that I was insane, so it was only faint.

“And… sorry. I used up the magic stone.”

“A magic stone?”

“A magic stone that came out after killing the boss monster. It was at least A rank or higher… I thought you would die if you didn’t.”

I see… Then there was nothing more to say. It was an item that I had almost forgotten about anyway, and I felt rather grateful to Baek Ji-soo for using it to save my life.

Because I really wanted to die.

“It’s okay. Life is more important than magic stones.”

“… Yes. Yes.”

After talking that far, I suddenly thought of another person I hadn’t cared about.

“What about Yoon Seo-hee?”

The image of her buried in the wall and motionless came to mind. I looked around and confirmed Yoon Seo-hee’s location.

She was still motionless from her buried position, her head hanging down.

“Hey Seo! It’s okay?”

“Uh, ugh…” .”

Yoon Seo-hee was trembling slightly and was unable to regain her consciousness.

Please, it shouldn’t be a serious injury.

“It’s okay. I’ll do it.”

Baek Ji-soo knelt in front of Yoon Seo-hee, who had fallen, and raised her cane, which had been broken in half.

As she raised her wand and licked her lips, her white magic enveloped Yoon Seo-hee. I could see any burn marks or bruises on her skin disappearing quickly.

Yoon Seo-hee, who was groaning in pain, finally felt more comfortable breathing.

“Is it a recovery magic?”

“Yes. It accelerated her body regeneration by leaps and bounds. This should be fine.”

I couldn’t leave her collapsed among the wreckage as she was, so I carefully picked up the unconscious Yoon Seo-hee with both arms and moved to a place where there were fewer wreckage of her.

Even in the midst of that, Yoon Seo-hee was holding on to the hilt of the broken golden sword in her right hand and did not let go.

“… ….”

I felt a bit happy, but somehow bittersweet, indescribable feeling.

At that time, I heard a rough and loud man’s voice from outside the library.

“Here! I heard an explosion from here!”

The sound of hasty footsteps echoes loudly.

Thump! Thud! When I tried to open it from the outside, it was blocked by rubble like I had before, and the door could not be opened.

“Lord! It doesn’t open because it’s blocked from the inside!”

“Profit! One o’clock is urgent! Get out of the way!”

Suddenly! A wave of strong magic is felt, and the main entrance to the library is neatly cut into a cross shape along with the debris.

A heavy-looking man in a black coat came inside, pushing the debris away with a torso headbutt.

“Where is the boss… Mmm!?”

The man in the appliqué widens his eyes when he sees the decapitated corpse of the boss monster.

“Already… dead?”

Then I looked around with blank eyes, and my eyes met as I was looking at something similarly.

“… Maybe you guys?”

I nodded calmly.

The man’s expression was stained with astonishment.
