Chapter 83: Reunion of Sisters (1)
wC7Hua Ran’s ascension ritual to Hou by Purple Hawk Academy’s Senior Professor Kang Ryun ended as a failure.JFM1Rot
Yy5JTHAs for our next course of action, it was as we had always done. I had already been notified by Lady Josephine and Master Erin on how they were going to deal with this if everything was to go well.6BoB3kc
kV1Long story short, it was concealment again.rDdEVs
kxlBVIt was a big problem that the senior professor of Purple Hawk Academy had attempted such a disastrous ritual, but spreading news of that had chances of increasing the public’s wariness or interest in Hua Ran even though she was the victim of this incident.2oXj
pV04BbThe former would be people condemning Hua Ran from fear while the latter would be people interested in the potential of Hua Ran’s power.1D4
6azt3kMThat was why Lady Josephine, master, and I had been planning on concealing this matter from the start.bb0
5Ma35And everything had gone according to plan.hF4r
4VMWds6“Professor Kang Ryun returned first and got caught up in an unfortunate event… is what we will be announcing to the public. We have already discussed this with the chairman of Purple Hawk Academy.”y4KL
hNPMU“They’re pretty cooperative, aren’t they?”V2rMtzX
GTkYfMg“Because that is probably the best-case scenario for Purple Hawk as well.”YW7dK3
E8PSTThat made sense – their senior professor, student council president, and their highest-achieving student of the 2nd grade had wreaked havoc at another academy. Although Yuhua and Jinhyuk had been used without realizing the true purpose of the agenda, Kang Ryun was a senior professor, and Purple Hawk couldn’t just gloss over the issue by saying they didn’t know.IHllRY4
qFeYX2s“You didn’t forget to charge them for the repairs and stuff, right?”E1X
98sc“…Mister Chairman wanted to let it slip but well, I am of the same opinion as you, Student Korin, when it comes to that.”8G4oq
RusA67J“Right? Chairman is a bit too naive–. Oops~. Very kind is the word I was looking for.”1MA
OOdYH“Everything went well… thanks to you again. Korin Lork.”VsoSGH5
8tVeLady Josephine said while deeply staring at me. She still had a strict pair of eyes, but that was only because her default gaze was a bit on the harsher side, and in fact, this was quite warm for her.J0w
Ql81xww“Thanks for your work.”tEJ
gUdShe said while looking at the bandages that were wrapped all over my body. Despite the regeneration ability, the recovery was very slow which was most probably because of me over-using my aura.7cpsV
dbydFsB“Feels a bit embarrassing to hear that.”9Mv
4Bpsa“We… are in a position where we cannot trust other people with ease.”yearC
Lry80 years ago, Master had been betrayed by her trusted disciple; by her successor, Tates Valtazar.ep7Z3Hz
QHBLrEThe shock of that betrayal left a lot of scars in her mind and she became a lot more prudent than before. It was obvious that she couldn’t readily give her trust.PFcOGRK
c35y7“There will come a day when we can trust each other.”hMxirB
Q5hIKM4“…I hope so.”Obkh
ELiJosephine slowly stood up, and said one last thing while dropping off her get-well gift.u8SeAwb
Mw2r6P“Please look after your body. The festival is not over yet.”1vGoCgA
P8wThey must be very busy considering all the things that happened. I’m sure the busiest person right now was Master Erin, who still had to discuss and negotiate with Purple Hawk.7QT
4CIAs soon as Josephine left the room, Marie hopped inside from the door.rcCIu
kHK“You’re awake!”rcz
x0bkJybMarie pretty much threw her body onto my bed for a tight hug. As if she wanted to confirm that I was alive, she rubbed her cheeks and checked the warmth of my body.z9Bj
uIhtT3C“Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere? Look at your nails; they’re all gone!”j30cem
DzK“Ohh… No wonder it was feeling empty there.”ZsvGt
e2UpMVB“I can’t believe it! Seriously, every time! Korin, you overwork yourself every time and you always end up in hospital!”qNm9
4STSlap! Marie slapped my shoulders on repeat but was controlling herself so much that I could barely feel her skin touching my shoulder.QtJ6uM
R7KsH“Seriously… seriously…”6WCRZ
DH3odxShe couldn’t find the right words to say and gave me another hug and stayed that way for a long time before finally letting go of me.bsyzNqB
wae95Tears were budding beneath her eyes.Cbm
0dyCx“Don’t cry. It pains me to see you cry.”9sq2
jerdi“That’s exactly why I’m crying!”3w5bUB
Thb8C“Were you fine, Senior? You had to fight all the stone warriors and destroy all the articles by yourself, right?”iMzxizI
CHXzWU“President Kang Yuhua and that student called Sa Jinhyuk did destroy one but…”pwk
HKkXoI knew it. That was why they weren’t there, huh. It was thanks to them that I barely made it in time without being bashed to death.icd1
ZnZ“But if you think about it, it’s their fault that this started in the first place,” grumbled Marie.49KSH0l
KmL7LF“Don’t be like that. They’re not bad people. Things were just… a little bit unlucky for them.”Ua1bzs
1nkJinhyuk, who had been wanting to avenge the death of his family, and Yuhua, who was trying to save her cousin – the two of them were just desperate in their own ways and the real villain was Kang Ryun, who had manipulated them by making use of their desperation.iMAc
3KkRuWe had to avoid hating the wrong people.ywf8
BLiFQO“You always speak like an adult. Even though I’m older than you…”Iqb
428“How about you call me ‘oppa’?”XN8WlQ2
wDDUS“You’re doing that again! Trying to be called ‘oppa’! Sometimes, it feels like you have an obsession with being called oppa!”NmlW
CysMarie flapped her arms around and gave a cute outburst but before long, she turned dejected and murmured after lowering her head.pjm
fjIUrcu“I… don’t want you getting hurt all the time, but… You will continue doing things like this in the future, right?”Yxg
ao8MunZ“…”C7N1sl
nYq4Q9I couldn’t say no to her question.dLbk
Sm0I was someone who had the duty of saving the world, who in spite of that grand aspiration, was weaker off than most other players.Urr76
BDIEDSince I was nothing but a sub-player with some spearmanship skills, my body was bound to suffer during the process.RbKd
qIGMz9H“You’re not saying ‘No’. Korin, sometimes… it feels like you’re living in a different world.”34ebzj6
eV4YTightly holding onto my fully-bandaged arm, she pleaded with her eyes fixed on me.fp1
uweq0f“I… can fight with you. Please let me stand by your side. I can help you anytime.”eUPz
zpr“…You are already helping me so much.”QroNsCR
CTyFQBoth in the King of Iron Mountain incident and this time around, I was receiving more than enough help from Marie. In fact, I even thought I was being too rough with people.pWiM8F
7sbzYoh“Senior. I’m a weak person.”Cs64Gya
RveEdH“No, Korin. You’re not weak.”8SnZE
eeZbel“Things like that are subjective. In comparison to the upcoming evil, I am way too insignificant of a person and I cannot overcome them without receiving help.”xz1yJcf
LSyJ1d“Anything’s fine. No matter what you are fighting against… I will stand by your side.”2zV
J27I felt extremely grateful.2jZeVOa
89MAnd I felt so blessed to be able to hear something like that.USZAl
1OIiAll the enemies standing in my path were tough and powerful villains. Some wanted to satisfy their wicked greed, some for their incorrect convictions and some only wanted to destroy the world.kyfJ
SQd3What was the way for me to save the world against these powerful enemies? The answer to that question was always very simple.Hi74VmQ
CF18bu“Together.”iQh3
3PIp4Please fight together with me. I requested the girl whom I had once saved.9cst
Y4ku“Un!”v4807
iNbV7bSShe replied with clear teardrops flowing down her cheeks. Even though I was the one making the request and even though I was the one that was supposed to thank her for everything, she was the one crying instead of me.Z46tTaa
DrCG0S“What is this; you’re ruining your beautiful face. Smile. It’s all done and dusted in a good way. Smile and you’ll be happy.”r6A
NHF“How can I smile! When you’re in the hospital like this!”dulz
97YU“I’m asking you as the patient! Smile. Just smile! When beautiful ladies smile, everyone gets double the happiness.”KwDd3o8
AMAna0G“You’re lying!”sJ3E
ZNfzuWe continued talking for a long time.eTJNUyW
bxCD7………4CY
gWAq2F6……uH9a2W
XiZT6…6S2P
uJjBobN– Slip!CTdv
u2VAfter organizing her loosened clothes, Marie stood up from the bed. Her reddened eyes and the tiny beads of sweat all over her body attested for the things that had been happening until just then.O4pay
7yOJP“Oh right.”KWtSvW
PZLStraightening out my hospital clothes that had drooping collars, Marie summoned Doggo.55W1gLL
oGj“I’ll leave Doggo behind, so he will look after you! My parents said they’ll be sending some medicine from home and Doggo will bring them to you when they’re here.”YF8
gcy5CO6“Ohh~. Is Doggo going to look after me? What a good boy~”iIY
ciSS5gt– Kiing!npt
amlel4nUnlike what Marie was saying, Doggo didn’t seem too keen. He liked his mother but was very rude to his father.qBjf
ikmGMOf course, he might take his revenge later on if I said this out loud so I swallowed those words instead.2YKice
cYOv“No! Doggo, listen to me! You need to be nicer to your daddy!”YFhmob
WqESDRkMarie started preaching like an actual mom that was scolding their infant. She was definitely quite abundant with maternity. Yes… Ah I mean her personality of course.rIc1
sFS“Ah, and you know that Guardians Guild thing? I’ll apply for that soon,” said Marie.SNm9aKV
F53v“Already?”GyNxf
Rd8SKiZ“It’s going to be time for harvest soon. With all the holidays coming up, we need to do it now or everyone will be busy taking a rest at home.”fgdLNWw
EsWna“Oh~, you’re right. Thank you.”K4iB
sIFwG“Un. Korin you’re the Guild Master… and I’m the Deputy. What about the rest?”nliaBQs
iX4QThe ‘Guardians’ was essentially a fixed party of the core members that would be moving with me outside for external matters. Not everyone would be combatant, and there would be some who would be helping me in various ways.gOlT
mAfI had already gotten several confirmations and acquired the three core members so it was probably okay for me to tell Marie their names.xEA
dj9x7I“First off, Alicia Arden and…”mXvAIQ
77h“Hnnn… I knew it. She… Well, I guess there’s no helping it.”Xyu
FlxQ“And Renya Claire.”zq3YH
KdUbljX“Oh~. A female?”xqh
0czPAx“Yes. She’s a pretty lady working in intelligence.”HUW6tyB
iU0“I see~. Pretty?”E3wCRE
lUdOJ“And next up will be Ren and Ron.”wFp3D
uY384al“Who are they?”x85Thf
Xzzj“They’re a sibling of wolf beastmen. Ren’s a girl so just make sure you check Ron as a boy.”MZs
fqF“Hmm…”iqUJ
xuVG– Crack!YGBvB
KufwJnF“I’m thinking about recruiting Yuel but I’m not sure yet. Well, but we’re close so I’m sure she’ll help out for the most part.”Fck
IDqjVi“That druid girl… Are you guys very close?”i4RTYk
NtQ“We’re close enough to joke around and have some meals together.”V2czPjv
561– Crack!LiNKN
qJ9“Lastly, Hua Ran is a must so don’t forget to write her down. Professor Josephine allowed it as well.”JXuI
ExS7tjtJust like what happened after Marie’s incident, it looked like it was pretty set in stone that Hua Ran would be under my care from now on.hg2
JeRb– Kajik!jmbVKo1
8OcWThat was when the sound of something breaking reached my ears. Turning around, I noticed that the pen in her hands was now in two pieces. Why did that pen break, I wonder?ojr
EDOjx“…Senior?”dVK7Go
IRZwIt was strange that Marie was staying silent so I spoke to her, but she didn’t say anything for a long time and instead, she quietly and slowly walked towards me.0nuG
TSW“…”mENwy
3OfHer clear eyes that used to glisten in gold had turned into red by the time I noticed it. Umm… that’s probably because she just recently sucked blood, right?47X8
7Hl7“Korin.”5kPyBi
EPIW“Umm… Senior?”pbB4NU
HN38“Are you trying to drive me crazy?”oXf
yPNZ8Wat?adwG4I3
uzyJdBS****sMGL
d2XAfter my body recovered enough for me to move around, I visited Alicia who was in the same hospital as me. By the way, Doggo was driving the wheelchair for me.2cKPL
F2iR“Ehew, little Doggo. Great work helping out with your daddy.”M2E1EYB
SHqA“…”fmVz0IH
6Ae1gb1He turned his head away with a flick.pKy
tzGG“Buddy… You’re not really liking this, are you?”f0eb6y
k8YdI’m sure you want to be with your mommy. How unfortunate that you have to stick with your daddy but you know what? You have to listen to your mom! What can you even do huh?p66jxDp
OmvcsQl“Woof!”LZM
dlHEPAfter seemingly reading my impure thoughts, Doggo furiously flipped the wheelchair.TLhHm7C
3xYNWez“Huhu… It’s things like that that give away your feelings. You immature little kid…!”dPGk1RV
zcqeq9“Kaoooooooo…!”ZSts
mVtEf0“Mister Doggo! Please do not howl in the hospital!!”ZHLQ9u
ZTb0“Woof…”IzHG
wH9Due to moving around everywhere across the campus ever since the start of the semester, everyone seemed aware of how Doggo was a slightly special dog. He was going around running errands for his mom every time so that wasn’t anything strange.lu1fVrg
emH0E“Ugh… What are you doing?”ypXv9
IeA3CggAlicia seemed to have heard the ruckus from inside her room and she asked that as soon as we entered the room.yYqk
K1JPW“We’re here for a visit. Are you feeling okay?”KPG
FnxCG“Ughhh… Do I look okay?”RrE5A
IRzp3SLying down on the bed with bandages wrapped all around her body, she moved her chin slightly to face our way. Leaving behind Doggo, I sat on the chair that was placed next to the bed.2MabOym
ZKHx6A“Wow~. You look like a mummy.”BK8
LmeX5xA“Uguk…! Whose fault do you think it is?!”7drY5h
CLERf“Thanks.”ntd
PjV“Huh? Nn… Well, you are welcome, I guess.”3Hveqe
CIGXEBecause she had to take dozens of steps through the Domain just to save me, her entire body was in tatters.V9lV6
kVmHer bones were back together thanks to the made-by-Marie elixir, but apparently she still needed to rest for at least 2 weeks in the best medical facilities. There was only about 1 week left of the festival so she probably wouldn’t even be able to make it to the closing campfire.KU0
zLtgi0b“I’m probably going to be leaving soon, but I guess you need to stay hospitalized for a bit more.”l7KV
CVy2“Hing… I wanted to go to the campfire though!”ZZSGHPc
Jifz“You can wait until the winter banquet.”8BmF6Rh
Hl6“But that’s different from this.”KKTq
JTKiShe was right. Besides, even though I had experienced them multiple times in the last iteration, this was the first one for Alicia and I felt a bit guilty considering how she was in this state because of me.3ntiV
0Ezr“I will get you a Ghesquiere dress for the winter banquet.”2pJ5lE
5ZweBoE“Hukk…! Really? Y, you mean that super expensive brand?”hTfO
29gt“Tell me anything else you need. This oppa here is loaded with money now~”4iRdGg
5Ezle7X“You’re not an oppa! We’re the same age okay? …Oh right! What about your hotel? Did you earn a lot?”35p
nqWJG“Huhuhu. We do have enough to buy our esteemed investor a dress.”nE9f8b
XdP“A, am I going to be rich now as well?”jwhw
gZg39e“You can fill a bathtub with gold coins…! Okay, maybe not, but you can probably fill them with silver coins.”0Ph
EpnjMMX“Uwahh!”ELX5
OIjmKr“Yayy~!”r2q
svoVi1We, who had been petit bourgeois until just yesterday, danced despite having bandages all over our bodies.XSq78
dYWi“Flex…!”nTKb6UV
kFRgly“Flex…!”6IaXKq3
jcf““We’re rich~!!””q3m
Lf8KSqFDiscussing what to buy with Alicia was a very fun conversation topic.v6q2
0f0ktdt– Woof!q1jw
OV1That was when Doggo took out a bill from his furry coat. The name of the store was Puppy Coat Manufacturing Salon, or something like that.yyc
74bvg…I feel like there was a white gold coin written on the bill, but that was probably me seeing things, right?Rl97fTT
ONxd****LVbpxn
vwXjShe ended up hurting Korin. She was close to hurting a bunch of people again just like last time.szYW
9GgJAfter that incident, Hua Ran spent the next few days blankly staring at the white wall from her bed.KLgM89
RXTHer memories of that time were still vivid. Despite having his limbs crushed and wrecked because of her, he didn’t blame her and instead reached out for her hands to soothe her mind.bLGR1H4
DFA7『I told you I’ll help you… until you can make a decision for yourself.』qLIhjw
VerUv0His words touched her soul.DdAm
5fMwE15He told Hua, that the important one was not the nature of one’s birth but their choices. He told her that how and what she was born as didn’t matter.Vdkl
S4k73LShe wondered. How could he say such a thing?7vCjzLF
TrEt7Everyone was afraid of Hua. They were wary of Hua and condemned her. Screaming at Hua that she was a monster that shouldn’t have been born, they threw stones at her.yiPcZjR
5uJ67“Korin… was different.”evo
qmjfHe called her a child, and said he will help her…sC6q
TUouDvWhy did he do that?JDFPFfK
3GnjShe used to hate this world.DUgvyRJ
mFeShe hated Ran who used to have happiness that never belonged to her, and the world was full of people that wanted to use her to suit their needs. Everyone and the world hated her which was why she hated them back, and yet…nls
EDQPStrength was the only value she used to have. Using strength as an excuse was the only way she could justify herself for pushing away the original owner of the body to take control of it.GObg
W9kNlThat was why she didn’t want to show anyone her weak side. She did not ask for anyone’s help.XCXeLve
cnP『I can help you.』8aW
FEkWbuFHis kindness stung her heart.LsP01rA
44MKHXtHis consideration and concern pierced her heart like a sharp blade.RIIZ7C
VYiKtKorin was thinking that Hua would make the right choice. Why was he certain when even she herself didn’t know what she was supposed to do…? Even though she didn’t want to make that choice as ‘Hua’…r4ug4Po
TQrAaz『Make… a decision you can be proud of. So that… you don’t regret it.』pff
kCOHow was she supposed to do that…? What did she have to do… to make a decision that she could be proud of…?8lg9Zj
i8rXPWhat should I do?z3jP7z
qfTThe only path in front of her was a cliff going straight down. The only future she could see by taking a step forward was dropping down the abyss… How was she supposed to even face her own sin?TJ0kxR
jVth7What are you… telling me to do?j80cX
eEVKGD『We’ll look for ways together.』9MtvdL
oAKyV“……”yGZLhvP
zJbgEI hate you, Korin Lork.kodrsD
sCSzXcYou… make my heart ache all the time.ep5vZv
tXDhuLa– Tap tap!jTlu
21PwsaIt was then. Hearing the sound of someone knocking on the window, she opened the curtain and found Korin Lork waving his hand while dangling on the windowsill of the second floor.Wxh
iM5hEver since her birth, Hua had been alone the whole time. Deceitful relationships had always been broken down in an instant and she had been used the whole time.fibYNce
NYdThat was why she didn’t allow people to enter her boundaries until now, but…e0t
bqFm“But…”JgwpKE
FyPKorin Lork was crossing her fences as if they were nothing, while reaching out to her with his hands.8wY
uVSrm****MHrO
I7yZbeThere was a short quarrel but Hua Ran let me into the room before long.M623B
1Qxu9“…You recovered.”R6Q2O
5e7That was the first thing she said out of the blue. It was a cold statement, but I could tell that she had been very concerned about my well-being.Badhhe
jPy9“Were you worried?”hzWOV
Dqjh“…No.”WliC
JA0exAWOhh, I could now tell albeit by a little. Although Hua Ran rarely showed any expression on her face, it was exactly because of that that I could tell her emotion based on the small changes of her expression.FkWW1y
jKa0eb“How have you…”2Vf8voE
XUdo“Hurry up.”hwegfD
Mo2“Huh?”uOS
tgxHUi“There’s a way to change to Ran, right? Do it quick.”sWq
Dg3FBrHua Ran rushed me as if she wanted to get it over and done with. Even though… she really might vanish if Ran couldn’t accept her existence and rejected her.k20FK
NJxrDid she give up? No, that was probably not it. It’s just that… this child had made a decision. She must have decided not to run away from the responsibility of her choices anymore.8dv2fHc
lQI2“What a good girl.”uao
7fVwJI caressed her hair. Usually, she would have flicked my hand away but she obediently let me stroke her hair and closed her eyes as if this was her last moment.fGYh8
DNMcfShe seemed determined.CpwF
vYc“Then…”jPtANR
3ujR“W, wait.”LcGlbjl
TxKAIt was then. Hua Ran suddenly held onto my hand and fidgeted her fingers while hesitantly looking for words.OUY6
nb8“What’s wrong?”U0VA2YP
x99XGYG“…Fish.”ZPWh7x9
aPnPvdP“Huh?”dQbg
Vo2VhP“I want fish.”D4ij
9HF3BXqThe last lingering attachment stopping her after she resolved herself was my cooked fish dish.GPrIy
orbn****jyWGj7
8tgSz“…Get rid of the bones, please.”kcL1k
z5lCoOQI came back after cooking a mackerel in the kitchen. Calmly, Hua Ran waited for me to debone the fish and slowly put them into her mouth.ELOsjK
InUQPeShe loved fish so she used to munch through them in one go but this time, she was slowly consuming them as if she wanted to buy even a little bit of more time.puZotiO
1kvIt was natural for her to be anxious.nHyoie
IGwzIt was normal for her to be scared.ILKXoqY
KVEEGThere was no guarantee that she would be able to regain control over her body after changing the owner once. Despite resolving herself, the child was still very scared.cyMM
MXFAlthough it took quite a long time for a single meal, I patiently waited for her regardless.8Gxzc2
lz6“I… am done.”UMQ
7qHm“Let me wash the dishes first.”msDD
FaxcAfter cleaning up everything, we went to the backyard.OAzd
EZUE“…Start.”FUOek
0VBaHua Ran resolved herself and looked at me with a composed pair of eyes. However, she still couldn’t hide the tension on her face. Things like this actually made her look quite cute.BWHvVWO
FYzli“Stay still.”DqG
sN4LIFI took out the silver spear that I was carrying behind my back as she watched me while vacantly blinking her eyes.mYcsd
xAZ“That…”ZQ52
n8EShe mumbled while looking at the ferocious-looking gem that was stuck on the spear.IeAWy
gFQxd[Orb of the Grim Reaper]
– The attack will always hit the target.- It will separate the flesh from the soul.n9m
CprwP– The attack ignores defense.ahM
xtY4It was the 100%-accuracy soul collecting ability of the Grim Reaper that only existed as a concept. Of course, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced when used by a human but… it would be infinitely different when I was the one using it.zJO
9G1〚I do not perceive spirits.〛MP1W
vOxBecause of the absolute rules of the Precept, as soon as I used the power of this Orb which counted as a spiritual attack, the accuracy would be multiplied negatively by an infinite amount.StM
y6x7rpAs a result, it would become a never-landing spear that couldn’t kill people.eBse
aVMq3M‘But there’s a catch.’lgTg
eLkI took out a blue stone from my pocket that resembled a gem. It was a manastone carved by a first-rate blacksmith into the perfect size.Y5pWX
BEDLThat was one of the manastones I purchased in bulks at the festival, which was then polished by Ferghus.upGFsA
UQejXp“What’s that?”X2Oz
Pnf1“It’s a faulty manastone used in the festival. When I take this to the Orb…”grFkeQT
NM9Qlx– Sururuk!pcosSZS
Y8cThe manastone was then absorbed into the Orb. Strictly speaking, it was closer to the manastone burrowing into the Orb of the Grim Reaper.fGB
NJvxNow, let’s think this through one more time.zhbjyw1
fimAdding mana to the ‘festival-use faulty manastones’ made them explode from overload. In the game, the explosion range decreased with higher accuracy rating to make it easier to clear the mini-game, and a lower accuracy increased the explosion range.uafICQ
vdijjNo matter how low your accuracy rating was on the system, the maximum range limit was 100 meters.qnwOdr
PMZqO1It was a decent AOE skill that was often used in the game.QRSG8D
RDMyzNow, what would happen if the manastone was absorbed by the Orb of the Grim Reaper, when it has the same rules of the 2nd Precept applied to it?2BxwhP
2IA“Watch. I’m going to do some magical stuff.”r0Jd
L4zohCJumping onto the tree in the backyard, I landed on one of its branches.rOO9O
hHJSqgThe explosion of mana wouldn’t go through the wall and wouldn’t reach the sky either, so staying here should keep me out of the range.pnYy3
pAanR“I’m going to throw it!”Lct
PVELJPFEither because of her trust in her Unbreakable Vajra Body or me, she didn’t even blink her eyes after I tossed the spear at her. The spear that was traveling straight at Hua Ran suddenly turned its direction in mid-air and landed on the ground.t2cV
EYdRSb“???”SiG
dOlIt was a strange phenomenon that didn’t abide by the original laws of physics, but that wasn’t the end.IKcq
qt0IT– Boom!IT0XcV
brpklThe manastone absorbed by the Orb of the Grim Reaper led to a small explosion that dispersed the mana inside it. In the blink of an eye, the backyard was filled with the Grim Reaper’s mana.x4e64
ZqQVYes, this was it.WmJ4
1xOPtMZ“Uhh…”kRJXr8N
F0gtUhQAfter a single groan, Hua Ran immediately fell on the ground.QW5jqa
1kXIt was simple.u8rgJ6
fwdvBFThe Orb of the Grim Reaper was one that targeted the soul. After absorbing that specific trait of the orb, the manastone exploded and applied the power of the Grim Reaper to Hua Ran who was within the range of the explosion.bnY
teP98g‘A little trick people found by playing around with these niche items.’ksOQWSW
Fmtj5rWhen used by a human, the Orb of the Grim Reaper wasn’t a strong weapon but when combined with these festival-use faulty manastones, they were surprisingly quite effective.6ia
ptFGoIt was effective to the point that they could make me indirectly have an impact on spirits despite my inability to affect them due to my Precept.X1XQusq
HZjStrictly speaking, it was not me that touched Hua Ran’s soul and it was the exploded manastone so I wasn’t going against the Restriction.w1O08
xF1c“I was going to use it inside the Evil Extermination Formation if necessary but…”XcCkOpe
WFQIt was a shame that I couldn’t use it there, but it was still okay since I got to use it here.AVbKdMf
EnGV“Hua Ran. I only used a little bit of mana this time. How do you feel? Are you okay?”B4gnF
FRw“Mhmm…”pYXeAin
HiX2VMShe opened her eyes. After rubbing her eyes and looking around her surroundings with unfocused eyes, she turned to me and opened her mouth.oY9PTRr
7uW“Hello oppa.”Xwf2
VIpdHua Ran, or rather, Ran said with a bright and refreshing smile on her face.34KY
