Episode 110 34. Why are your eyes open like that?
One.
When Charon had difficulty putting an end to the darkness, the regent personally offered advice to Charon.
“Spiritualism basically starts with communication. Spiritualists and spirits are not masters and servants, but partners. If you treat a spirit as a friend, the spirit will accept you as well.”
Spirits are not the spirit master’s ‘weapons’.
A companion for life and a friend who will always be by your side.
The elven spirit magic starts from that point. It is not a one-sided relationship, but a relationship where both parties are helpful to each other.
Caron nodded as if he understood the regent’s explanation.
“Friends are good.”
Charon lifted Pluto, the dark spirit that had been riding on his shoulders, with both hands.
I felt a rather strong magical power from Pluto.
Miyaaaaah-!
Pluto lets out a high-pitched cry, as if he’s in a good mood.
Darkness was seeping out from the guy’s body, but strangely enough, I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
Just seeing it makes me feel comfortable.
I feel like I’m falling asleep… … .
-Master! My magic power is exhausted!
“Ah, it was a loss of magical power.”
… … I wasn’t sleepy, I just felt more dizzy.
This guy really consumes a ton of magical power.
The magical power was being consumed at a rate that was difficult to even compare to when using the 6th form of the Haerang Sword.
“Ask the spirits a favor. If you ask sincerely, the spirits will naturally grant your request.”
The regent’s advice rang in my ears once again.
At those words, Charon smiled brightly and said to Pluto.
“request.”
Good luck that came in bundles.
The power this guy has already demonstrated has satisfied Charon.
Because it was a new power that was gained at the right time.
But that satisfaction was short-lived.
Meow?
Pluto tilted his head as if he didn’t understand English.
And at that moment.
‘Look at this guy?’
Pluto’s golden eyes glow strangely.
Even though I had made a polite request, the darkness showed no sign of going away.
rather.
Hwaaaaaaaah-!
As it consumed more and more of Charon’s magic power, it began to expand the darkness.
Guillotine, seeing that sight, spoke in a quiet voice.
-I guess we should give it a try?
It was as Guillotine said.
Pluto was looking straight at Charon without avoiding his gaze.
A situation that can only be described as a war of nerves.
Charon met Pluto’s eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“Are you really going to come out like this?”
The regent heard those words and spoke in an urgent voice.
“Caron Reston, calm down. You have to treat the spirits like friends… … .”
But Caron responded to the regent’s words with a bitter laugh.
“This is how I treat my friends.”
Woof woof woof-!
All of the magic power remaining in Caron’s body began to flow out.
The dark blue magic shone even in the darkness.
Haaaaaaah-!
The magic of Cheongmyeong immediately began to press upon Pluto’s entire body. Then Pluto writhed and hissed at Charon.
But Charon did not let go of his hold on Pluto’s body.
He smiled brightly at Pluto in that state.
Woohoo!
Charon’s magic and Pluto’s darkness constantly mix to create waves.
Two forces fighting fiercely.
“Are you hitting me?”
Myaaaah!
Pluto glared at Charon, letting out an excited cry at Charon’s shout.
The darkness was rippling, and the sea was rippling with it.
Charon skillfully controlled his magical powers and fought against Pluto’s darkness.
The darkness that had engulfed all sides was now being mercilessly torn apart by the sea of Charon.
Paaaaaaaang-!
As the brute struggle continued, cold sweat soon began to run down Caron’s forehead.
But instead, a smile appears on Caron’s lips.
‘fun.’
It may seem like a simple exchange of energy, but in reality it is anything but that.
The battle continues for seconds.
And not just in one place, but everywhere where the sea and darkness meet.
In all my past lives, I have never experienced such a simple and ignorant magical showdown.
That’s why Charon smiled even more deeply.
‘I think it would be good to add it to the training method.’
Careful distribution and control of magical power.
I could feel my control over my magic increasing in real time.
“I got the feeling.”
Meow?
“But the rebellion stops here. If you cross the line any further, it won’t be fun?”
The sea churned once again, and the precarious balance between the two properties collapsed in an instant.
The turbulent sea began to swallow up the darkness at a rapid pace, and a gasp of shock escaped from the mouth of the regent who was watching it.
“……Nonsense.”
On the surface, it seemed like the two energies were clashing haphazardly.
But she realized the essence in an instant.
‘The hyperresonance is calming down.’
The dissonant sounds that had been resonating due to excessive resonance were gradually fading away, and darkness was gently seeping into the turbulent sea.
It was a realm that could never be called spirit magic.
That ignorant and barbaric method of unilaterally suppressing one side by force could never be called spiritism.
rather.
‘dogfight.’
It was more like a fight between hungry wild dogs trying to tear each other apart.
Common sense would tell you that the contract should have been terminated the moment you started fighting the spirit.
But why is that?
The more their energies clashed, the stronger the bond between the two became.
‘… … This is not spirit magic.’
It felt like she and the elves’ long-developed spirit magic was being thoroughly disproved.
Slurp.
Finally the darkness was completely swallowed up by the sea.
“Was it fun?”
Pluto was still held in Charon’s hands.
Pluto nodded, waving his two forelegs lightly.
Myaaaah!
An expression of utmost satisfaction.
Isn’t this too bright for a spirit that was just spewing out its magical power so fiercely?
The regent muttered with a look of despair at the sight.
“I never thought such an ignorant method would work… … .”
To those words, Charon replied while shaking Pluto’s body.
“Originally, this is how you become close by fighting and hitting each other. You try out magic with each other, and when you’re bored, you exchange stabs with each other’s bodies… … Ah, it reminds me of the old days. That Halo guy was really good at stabbing.”
What on earth is a ‘friend’ to this human?
What’s even more shocking is that even Pluto, who was listening to Charon, nodded in agreement with Charon’s words.
‘… … They say spirits are attracted to beings that resemble themselves… … .’
The regent looked at Charon’s pale face and sighed softly.
A situation where a crazy spirit chooses a crazy person.
The saying that people talk to each other is probably used in situations like this.
“That’s right, Your Highness.”
The madman looked at the regent with a smile.
His face was bloodless, but his blue eyes were sparkling with something.
“If you think about it, this contract… wasn’t it something I did myself?”
“I will admit it.”
“Okay. Four drops.”
“……yes?”
“Dew. Four drops. I specially cut off one for you. But the regent’s advice was helpful.”
Hearing those words, the regent could not help but sigh once again.
‘The fate of our species depends on this crazy guy?’
It was a moment when I began to resent the World Tree.
2.
The commotion that suddenly broke out in the temple of the World Tree ended like that.
“Since you trusted me and paid me the fee in advance, I will definitely succeed in this project. Don’t worry, Your Highness!”
“… … You must… … do that… … .”
The compensation was ultimately determined by four drops of dew from the World Tree.
Charon, who finally received the dew of the World Tree from the regent, smiled brightly and said.
“I promise on the honor of the Duke of Reston. If I fail in my request, you may hold the Duke responsible.”
Caron, who sells out his family’s honor without hesitation.
Leo, who arrived at the scene late, spoke to Leon in a small voice, not showing even the slightest trace of remorse.
“Sister, is he selling his family name again?”
“It’s just an ordinary Caron.”
“Shouldn’t we stop it?”
“who?”
“ah.”
It was Leo who realized that there was no one who could stop him in this situation.
If you want to stop Charon, you’ll need to bring at least Jeras with you.
While the two cousins were looking at Caron and sticking out their tongues, the conversation between the regent and Caron continued.
“I have a question for you.”
“Please speak comfortably, sir… … no, Your Majesty.”
“I would like to ask where Mother’s Dew can be used.”
The dew of the World Tree is a treasure that can shake the world with just one drop.
If even just one drop is enough, I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if four drops were released into the world at the same time.
But the answer that came back from Charon was very simple.
“Of course we should use it.”
This is a precious elixir that cannot be exchanged for gold to those who use magic power.
The elixir of elixirs.
In other words, it is an item that cannot be obtained no matter how much money you pay.
Why would you give something so precious to someone else?
“There is a proverb that says that even a ghost that has died after eating looks good.”
Then the regent replied with a frown.
“Are you saying you’re going to eat and die?”
“… … It’s a metaphor.”
“Yes, I know it’s a metaphor.”
“But why… … .”
“You were so annoying that I decided to play a prank on you. Think of it as elven humor.”
Caron was speechless at the sudden surprise attack.
The regent, who had so easily subdued Charon, slowly looked around at Charon’s companions.
One giant and two blood relatives of the Duke of Reston.
She had already guessed why Charon had asked for four drops.
“I plan to make them drink the dew of the world tree.”
“Please leave out the giants. They are a race that can’t even properly receive magic power, so what about the dew from the World Tree?”
At those words, Utula beat his chest as if he felt wronged.
“That’s too bad, Caron Reston!”
“Aren’t you upset?”
“sorry!”
Charon briefly suppressed Utula’s complaints, then looked back at the regent.
“Oh, I’m just asking just in case… … What would happen if I drank all the dew by myself?”
It was a very Caron-like question.
The regent answered with a slight frown.
“… … If we could continuously grow stronger through the dew, we would be the ones to rule the continent. The effect you are hoping for is only granted once in a lifetime.”
“I asked just in case. I told you that I only thought about eating it all by myself once.”
“You can expect physical recovery effects.”
“The World Tree hates to be eaten raw.”
“Mother is the one who stands at the center of harmony and circulation.”
Caron also did not think that such an elixir would have any limitations.
As the regent said, if that were possible, the strongest among the elves would have been born.
But even considering that, there was no denying that the World Tree’s dew was the best elixir for magic users.
It was an elixir that allowed one to easily overcome their current limitations with just one intake.
‘It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do about it.’
Caron whetted his appetite.
I decided to be content with just helping my colleagues grow, as it was worth it.
‘If I help you, it will probably only take a week for the two of you to digest the World Tree’s dew.’
Since we are going to consume the dew of the World Tree, shouldn’t we get the best results?
Caron nodded slightly, then looked at his colleagues.
Then Leo said, shuddering.
“… …Why are your eyes open like that?”
“Let’s just die for a week.”
At those words, the color drained from the faces of my colleagues.
But Charon smiled brightly at them.
“Don’t worry. People don’t die that easily. I even gave you the dew from the World Tree. How could you possibly die?”
None of his colleagues could dispute Caron’s words any longer.
This was because Charon’s hand was already gripping the guillotine’s handle.
They did not have the courage to challenge a dictator with a sword.
So, a one-week closed training session was confirmed.
“In a moment, in a moment.”
As Caron said, a week passed by in an instant.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
