Episode 180
After finishing the story with Sarah Dunphy.
Choi Hyun-seok was guided to the annex where the group was staying.
The group was all gathered in one room, waiting for Choi Hyun-seok.
“What happened?”
Park Hyun-ah asked as she watched Choi Hyun-seok coming in.
“Haa… I think this story is going to be a bit long.” “It’s okay, go ahead. I’ve decided to rest today anyway.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded and began to tell the story.
The origin of magic, magical power, and divine power.
When Sara Dunphy used the purple aura, Park Hyun-ah’s expression suddenly crumpled.
“As expected… that girl is too dangerous.”
It’s been just over two months since Sarah Dunphy returned from the dead.
Half of them spent time getting used to the magic.
It had only been a month since the battle with the party.
During that short time, she succeeded in revealing the identity of the purple aura and using powers that no one except Choi Hyun-seok could use.
“Haa… Is that all we have to say?” “There’s still one left.”
“What is it?”
“Can we go together in the future?”
“what?”
Park Hyun-ah’s eyebrows furrowed sharply.
It seems like he is doubting whether what he heard is true.
Abelson also blinked, unable to hide his embarrassment.
“You said we should go together?”
“yes…”
“So what did you say?” “I said I’d think about it.” “You crazy kid! What’s there to think about? Of course you should reject me!”
Park Hyun-ah screamed.
Choi Hyun-seok continued his explanation, waving his hands.
“Well, there is a reason for that.”
“For what reason?”
“I’m interested in my body.” “What? You’re interested in my body…?” “Oh, well. Um…”
Choi Hyun-seok recalled the conversation he had with Sarah Dunphy a little while ago.
“I felt it when I put my hand on you earlier, but your body is unstable.”
“How do you do that…”
“I have an idea. If you’ll let me join you, I’ll help you solve it.”
A brief moment of placing a hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s chest.
Sarah Dunphy figured out what was going on in his body.
And it seemed like he had a solution to the problem.
The group remained silent after hearing the explanation.
Each of them seemed lost in thought.
“Haa… No matter what, isn’t it a bit weird to go together?”
Park Hyun-ah was the first to speak.
“Anyway, the opponent is an undead.” “I agree with what Park Hyun-ah said. The undead are too dangerous.”
Abelson continued with a dark expression.
“All undead have a grudge against life. Those who have reached a noble level in their lifetimes will be able to resist to some extent, but there is a limit. As time goes by, their reason will be eroded and only the desire to destroy will remain.”
“…”
“It may seem okay now, but you never know when Sarah Dunphy might lose her wits and go crazy.”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head at Abelson’s explanation.
“That problem has already been solved.”
“yes?”
“He said he already had some understanding of the necromancy and that the side effects had disappeared.” “Is that true…?” “It didn’t seem like he was lying.”
Park Hyun-ah, who was listening to the story from the side, let out a deep sigh.
“She’s really crazy…”
It was a curse word used to express admiration.
In the meantime, not only did he master the purple aura, he even mastered necromancy.
You can’t even guess how great his knowledge and talent in magic is.
“I don’t know! Just figure it out yourself!”
Park Hyun-ah shouted, messing up her hair.
“Whether we go together or not, it’s up to you, and you take responsibility for it.”
It seemed like an extremely irresponsible thing to say, but Abelson nodded in agreement.
“I’ll leave it up to Choi Hyun-seok. I can’t make a decision…”
At that moment, Rachel jumped out of Choi Hyun-seok’s arms.
“Rachel is against it!”
“Why you again?”
“That vixen-like woman is hanging out with the warrior. That’s ridiculous!” “Haa… My head already hurts. If you’re going to talk nonsense, then get back in.”
“What nonsense!”
Rachel cried out in anger.
“That fox was just groping the warrior’s chest, oh my!” “Huh? What do you mean?”
For a moment, Abelson’s eyes lit up sharply.

“Mr. Abelson, that’s not it. Rachel is exaggerating.” “No, it’s not! I saw you giggling and saying, ‘Hell, Hero!’!”
“When did I!”
“So. It’s true that you groped my chest?” “I didn’t grope…! It was just a light touch!” “Aha, the hero thought of the child with that light touch! Did you know that!? The hero asked that lich to bear my child!” “This is really going to suck! Won’t you speak clearly!?”
Choi Hyun-seok grabbed Rachel with both hands and covered her mouth.
“Ugh! Violence if you don’t like it! Rachel has been wronged!” “Shut up! That’s because you’re saying weird things!”
It was when Choi Hyun-seok was shaking the hand that was holding Rachel.
Abelson, who had come closer, grabbed Choi Hyun-seok by the collar.
“What do you mean, give birth to a child?” “Oh, no! I never really did that! I did ask if the undead could give birth to a child…”
“yes!?”
Shock, disgust, denial.
A wide range of emotions flash across Abelson’s face.
Park Hyun-ah sighed deeply as she looked at that sight.
“Oh my… You idiot. If she’s a woman, she’s just an undead and all… Tsk.”
“Oh, no!”
Choi Hyun-seok screamed, but it only made the room noisy.
No one listened.
“Huh! Huh!”
Only Bobo smiled and nodded in understanding.
***
After a sumptuous dinner.
As expected, the lord did not hide his feelings for the group and openly courted them.
When Park Hyun-ah stubbornly refused, he changed his target to Choi Hyun-seok.
He even suggested that he give up his own daughter so that he could remain alone.
“Our daughter is said to be the most beautiful woman in Milton!” “Is that so…?” “It’s a bit harsh to say this myself, but that luscious blonde could easily be called the best in the continent.”
For a moment, Choi Hyun-seok made a cold expression, but he was able to come to his senses after receiving glares from his group.
After such an eventful night.
The party left Milton as soon as day broke.
I stayed for a day out of consideration for the lord’s honor, so there was no reason to stay any longer.
“Are you leaving already? You could rest a little longer…” “I’ll come back again next time I have something to do.”
The lord nodded with a regretful expression.
He also felt that he could no longer hold on to his group.
“If you have no place to stay, come to me anytime. You are the heroes of Milton.”
Leaving behind the lord’s last greetings.
The group started on their way back.
Sarah Dunphy and the best warrior I hadn’t seen the day before, Liam, were also there.
“I’m going to use long-distance travel magic.”
The destination is Inemosit.
I was originally supposed to stop by Ultimoon Fest and report to Sullivan, but I postponed it until later.
Because I couldn’t take Sarah Dunphy to Ultimoon Fest.
“The location of Ultimoon Fest is confidential. I can’t go with those who might turn into enemies at any moment.”
If Sarah Dunphy ever has a bad mind, the town will be in danger.
Because with her magical skills, she could obliterate the village in one fell swoop without leaving a trace.
“Choi Hyun-seok. Follow me for a moment.”
Before using movement magic.
Park Hyun-ah called out Choi Hyun-seok separately.
“This is your last chance. If we move together, there’s no turning back. Are you really going?”
“yes.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had already organized his thoughts, answered without hesitation.
“Ha, I understand. But promise me one thing.”
Park Hyun-ah looked at Choi Hyun-seok with clear eyes.
“Become stronger as you take risks.”
“All right.”
“Don’t just talk, you have to become really strong.”
It’s a big risk to be with Sarah Dunphy.
It’s not just Sarah Dunphy’s powers.
“As you grow stronger, the Lich will use you to become stronger. Over time, the Lich may even be able to use that purple power like you.” “Yes… I know.”
This is a fact that Choi Hyun-seok is also fully aware of.
That was the reason Sarah Dunphy wanted to be with Choi Hyun-seok in the first place.
She will help Choi Hyun-seok while also researching ways to obtain such power herself.
“That Lich’s only weakness is that he uses magic. Magic is vulnerable to divine power. I don’t like the Holy Empire guys, but I guess I can aim for Lee Jae-yi.”
“…”
“However, if I change into a similar constitution to you, that weakness will disappear. And I’ll become stronger. When that happens, a monster greater than a real snout bitch might emerge.”
Choi Hyun-seok swallowed hard at the thought that a monster greater than Hemis might appear.
This is not just an empty promise.
In the long run, there is certainly potential for Sarah Dunphy to grow much further than she is now.
Even if the probability is low, it is not easy to take such a risk.
When Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened, Park Hyun-ah patted his shoulder.
“So. Eat everything you can and become strong. So strong that no one can stop you. Do you understand what I mean?”
“yes.”
“…I believe you can do it.”
Park Hyun-ah smiled and turned around.
“Then let’s go.”
As the two returned from their conversation, Sarah Dunphy approached them.
“What kind of secret conversation did you have?”
“You don’t know.”
Park Hyun-ah answered bluntly.
Liam, who was standing next to her, got angry and tried to step forward, but Sarah Dunphy stopped him.
“Don’t come out. Park Hyun-ah is right. I shouldn’t interfere in their business.”
“…”
“Let’s go quickly. The land of the demons… I wonder what it looks like.” “We’ll move right away. Don’t resist and accept the magic.”
The group gathers around Park Hyun-ah for long-distance travel magic.
Park Hyun-ah raised her magical power.
“Go.”
With her words, the group completely disappeared.
***
After arriving at Inemosit.
Choi Hyun-seok’s work wasn’t much different from before.
Level up by hunting demons, and occasionally create battles with Park Hyun-ah.
The only thing that changed was that I had time to interview Sarah Dunphy.
Of course, during that time, Park Hyun-ah was always watching from the side.
“The solution to the problem in your body is simple.”
Sarah Dunphy said as she circled around Choi Hyun-seok.
“You fill your body with this purple energy.” “Hmm… Will that stabilize your body?” “The reason your body is unstable right now is because of the clash of magic and demonic energy. If one energy settles in your body, the stabilization problem will be naturally solved.” “What makes you think so?”
Park Hyun-ah, who was watching from the side, asked.
Sarah Dunphy shook her head.
“There is no basis. It’s all just my hypothesis. But I am sure.”
“Umm…”
A mere hypothesis with no basis in fact.
However, it cannot be ignored.
Rather, if she was confident that she had the best knowledge in this area, then it was practically the right answer.
‘Sure… I’d be happy if it just worked out.’
In fact, the solution Sarah Dunphy proposes is not all that new.
Choi Hyun-seok had also been thinking about this for a long time.
The purple energy that forms the basis of Nobilis.
The problem with this is that it’s just too draining.
It was not an easy task to gather magic and magical energy together, discard their individual properties, and become one.
‘If this process could be eliminated and used immediately, the efficiency would be several times greater than it is now.’
Even if we only consider efficiency, Nobilais is the best among speculations.
However, if the intermediate process is omitted, Choi Hyun-seok’s power will increase significantly from now.
The question is whether that is possible.
Choi Hyun-seok has tried several times already, but has never succeeded.
“Is it possible?”
“Of course. Rather, it is an attempt that can be made because your body is unstable right now. A body that can change into any form will change to fit the new energy.”
“Umm…”
“If you solidify in that state, not only will the instability be resolved, but you will also be able to make this source power completely yours.”
“All right.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a solemn expression.
“So. What is the method?” “First, discard all the magical energy and magic energy in your body.”
“yes…?”
