Chapter 405
After that, the power of Umbra was transferred over about 30 minutes.
‘I thought I was going to die.’
It was a terrible time.
Perhaps it was the power of a god belonging to the category of an evil god, and he suffered terrible pain for 30 minutes.
Especially in the last 3 minutes, I thought I almost passed out.
It was really breathtaking.
If I had been told to hold on for one more minute there, I wouldn’t have been able to.
“It’s about dealing with the god of the end, so if you can’t stand that much, you can’t.”
Umbra looked down at me with an expressionless expression.
I made short eye contact with her and sprinted my legs to stand up.
“… … Ugh.”
But it couldn’t happen.
Because of the aftermath of the pain, the limbs are not properly strengthened.
“It will be difficult to get up right away. I am resting.”
Umbra slowly approached me.
Sit down as it is and make eye contact with me.
“Looking at it again, it’s a nasty bottom line.”
Umbra frowned and held out a hand to me.
“Apocalypse God. If it wasn’t for him, I’d just kill him with my own hands.”
Pinch my cheek lightly with your index finger and thumb.
It seems like he’s pinching something hard, maybe it’s because his threshold for pain is raised to the limit.
I didn’t feel much pain.
“I’ll take a look at this.”
With the other hand, pinch the other cheek as well.
Again, I didn’t feel much pain.
“I know you are lucky. Because you’re the first person to say the name Ignis in front of me and still be alive.”
“… … yes.”
Maybe because both cheeks are being held, the pronunciation leaks out.
Umbra smiled and removed her hand from my cheek.
“If you have something against me, release it now.”
Umbra stuck out her cheek and asked, ‘Would you like a pinch too?’
“it’s okay. There is no such thing as a grudge.”
It’s not like Umbra did anything.
There is no reason to hold a grudge.
“okay? So, did you get rid of everything with this?”
“yes.”
Umbra gave a small smile.
“then… … .”
Instantly shining eyes.
Eyes emitting passionate light and a smile met, creating a strange expression.
“Stay still.”
That is the expression of a person with a plan.
“what… … .”
What are you trying to do?
There was no time to ask.
Umbra’s actions were faster than my words.
Kwadeuk.
Umbra would suddenly bite my neck.
“… … What are you doing?”
“hmm?”
Umbra answered me while biting my neck.
I have no idea what it is.
“I have no idea what it is.”
“Puha.”
Umbra removed her mouth from my throat and returned to me, making eye contact with me.
“I said I had an insurance policy.”
I replied, tidying up my disheveled hair.
“… … Insurance?”
“huh. insurance.”
Umbra turned her gaze to the nape of my neck.
I stroked the nape of my neck.
The aftereffects of the pain had subsided to some extent, and it became possible to move the hand.
‘… … Mana?’
A strange feeling of mana is engraved in the place where Umbra bit.
I guess I’ll have to look in the mirror to know for sure.
I think it might be some kind of stigmata.
‘First of all, it’s not a bad feeling.’

I don’t know what kind of stigma he got.
First of all, it’s not a stigma that would harm me.
It doesn’t look like that at all.
“Then go soon.”
Umbra put a hand on my head.
“wait a minute. You have to tell me what this stigma is… … .”
Umbra grinned as he injected mana into my body.
“you do not have to know. Because that’s literally just insurance. If possible, it’s best not to use it.”
I have no intention of answering
It was a gaze that showed such will.
“Never mind the stigma. Just forget about it.”
A vision that gradually darkens.
It felt like my body was being thrown out of the temple.
“Goodbye then. Next time I see you, it will be good when everything is over.”
End with Umbra’s subtle smile.
My vision was completely blacked out.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, I saw Sophia-sama’s face.
“Hoo.”
Sein-nim, wearing the face of Sophia-sama, said with a smile.
“Looks like things went well.”
Sein-nim scanned my body from head to toe.
“Is this mana the mana of Umbra, the god of shadows? Indeed, it is enough to be called a god.”
He sensed Umbra’s mana permeating my body, and based on that, he must have guessed that things worked out well.
“yes. It worked out well.”
I slowly got up from my seat.
Haven’t all the aftereffects of the pain gone yet?
I feel a strange sense of heterogeneity when I move my body.
I move my body, but it feels like a delay occurs.
It felt like my body was slow to respond to my brain’s commands.
“… … Did you do anything else?”
Sein-nim glared at me with a sharp expression.
“Avoid doing anything excessive. I must have said that.”
“I didn’t do anything like Sein-nim thinks.”
The ‘crowd’ Sain-sama refers to is something that could endanger one’s life.
Receiving power from Umbra is not included in the category of ‘reasonable work’.
“My body is like this now, it’s not because I overworked it. It’s just that my body couldn’t adapt to the sudden power.”
The delay in my body isn’t just because of the aftereffects of the pain.
It is also because the mana balance within the body has been shaken due to the transfer of Umbra’s mana.
“It will be all over in an hour or so.”
It takes about an hour to rebalance the mana within my body.
With Mimir’s help, I could finish it in 30 minutes.
There shouldn’t be a need to call Mimir now.
Should I call in a busy kid to handle such trivial matters?
“… … hmm. is it.”
Sein-sama nodded with an understanding expression.
“but. only 3 minutes. It must be more difficult to overdo it in the meantime.”
I caught a word that I couldn’t miss at the moment.
“wait a minute. 3 minutes? Isn’t it 30 minutes?”
“… … hmm?”
Sein-nim replied with an expression of what he meant.
“I don’t know what you mean by 30 minutes. It’s only been three minutes since you entered the relic.”
Sein-nim pointed at the clock hanging on the other side of the room.
Only 4 minutes had passed since I entered the relic.
After coming out, I talked with Sein for about a minute.
As Sein-sama said, it means that only about 3 minutes have passed since I entered the relic.
‘… … Does the time inside the relic flow differently?’
30 minutes and 3 minutes.
Time inside the relic seems to pass 10 times faster than time outside.
‘that’s interesting. I wonder if only my mind is moving, but my body is moving. To think that the passage of time could be different.’
It is not a world where only mental concepts operate, but a world where material concepts intervene has a different flow of time.
How is that possible?
‘Is it because the shadow has neutral properties, both material and mental? Or because of the godhead? Or else… … .’
If you can unlock this secret, if you can unlock the law of time, you may be able to use time magic freely.
‘This is well worth studying… … .’
It was when I was thinking about the possibility of time magic.
thud!
The door opened violently.
I immediately turned my gaze toward the door.
“young master!”
“… … .”
Uncle Seok-hyeon and his father were standing there.
Uncle Seok-hyeon was making an urgent expression, and my father was acting with a calm expression.
“Is there anything wrong with your body? Where have you been?”
Mr. Seokhyun came up to me, inspected every part of my body, and touched me.
“I am okay. It’s because I didn’t directly participate in the battle.”
I pointed to the inner room with my eyes.
“I’m fine, so please look at Soonchan and Adela lying inside. It’s not serious, but it’s quite overworked.”
“Two close friends… … .”
Uncle Seokhyun nodded his head with his mouth firmly shut.
“All right. Then, I will transfer the two of you to the infirmary at my parents’ home right now.”
“Please.”
Mr. Seokhyun bowed his head towards me and my father and went into the back room.
“grow. There is a patient who needs to be transported urgently. as soon as… … .”
As he entered the inner room, he gave instructions to someone on the walkie-talkie.
He must have given instructions to Mr. Seokhyun’s direct subordinate.
“You two don’t have to worry.”
“yes. I am not worried.”
Starting with Uncle Seok-hyeon, all of his subordinates are also competent people.
They are not very helpful in battle, but they are talents who can be called the best in terms of backup.
Sunchan and Adela can be left to them.
“… … Are you really okay?”
Father asked cautiously.
Beyond his father’s expressionless expression, he could glimpse the emotion of worry.
I’m worried, but I don’t want to show off.
He had such an expression.
“it’s okay. As I also told Uncle Seok-hyeon, he did not directly participate in the battle.”
“… … .”
My father silently looked at Sein-sama.
He was asking Sein with his eyes, ‘Is that right?’
“If Hayul participates in battle, Bale will reveal his identity. Ha Yul did not participate in direct combat, but devoted himself to backup.”
“Right. If that’s the reason… … .”
My father gave a small nod of his head with an expression of understanding.
“Then, the dragon and the veil stall without Hayul’s direct intervention. Did you defeat them both?”
“It is, but… … . It’s kind of like that. Things are a bit complicated.”
Sein-nim stroked his chin and replied.
“I will prepare a report on this battle. It will be faster to read it.”
At that time, Sein-sama’s expression changed.
The hard expression disappeared like melting snow, and it became an expression like April on the Korean Peninsula.
“… … Anyone who sees it will know that you are preparing.”
it’s Sophia
“I’m sure it’ll be me writing the report.”
Sophia said, ‘Eh. He sighed.
“We are of one mind… … No, it’s not a multi-hearted body. As long as our bodies are the same, what you do is also what I do.”
Sein-nim smiled mischievously.
“If you think about it that way, it’s not you who killed the dragon today, but us.”
“no. No way. It is ‘me’, not us.”
“… … three. you. Do you know the word Naro Nambul?”
“Narrow Nambul? I’m hearing this for the first time. What do you mean?”
Romance if I do.
If someone else does it, it’s adultery.
It is an expression that refers to an action like Sein-nim is doing now.
“It’s okay if you don’t know. Just know that I’m talking to someone like you.”
“hmm. To say something to someone like me, it must be a four-character idiom close to praise.”
“… … yes yes sure. It’s a compliment. So, wherever you go, write about yourself. I am Naero Nambul Sein Binoche. do.”
Sophia-sama smiled.
It seems that more has accumulated in the past week.
“… … Whew. anyway. I will quickly prepare the report and hand it over to you. Please tell it to Charles and the owner of the Blue Mage Tower.”
“Please.”
Father responded politely.
Sofia Annechefrey.
Since he is the pinnacle of wizards and a legend, he deserves the respect he deserves.
“Then wait 10 minutes.”
Sophia-sama started writing a report using the memo pad and pen provided on the desk.
A notepad filled with stylish handwriting.
Judging by the speed, I think it could be completed in 5 minutes, let alone 10 minutes.
“Then I will go first.”
At my words, Sophia-sama stopped the pen.
“… … Are you going first?”
“Where are you going?”
Father and Sofia-sama asked at the same time.
“The situation is probably over. I have to go back.”
The situation is over.
There’s nothing I can do about staying here.
“I’m going to go back to the grounds of Halamanium and start the next training right away.”
Adela and Soonchan will come back on their own after their recovery is over.
As long as Aslan-nim is present, there is no need to worry about the recovery of the two.
It won’t be a problem if I go back alone first.
“… … If you came using Umbra, you won’t be able to use it for 3 days. I’d like to take a break for about three days.”
He said with a worried look on his father.
“That problem has been resolved.”
I cast a shadow over my palm.
“I use Umbra now, but there are no restrictions.”
The limitations of Umbra are gone. I can now go wherever I want, when I want.
