Level Up

< Return Once 2 >

The Arphor Knights have not moved their homes. They were so close to doing what they were supposed to do, so they just have to be comfortable where they were and come back when they were working.

I used to spend time doing things that I was interested in, but now it's different.

Half of you are lying on the floor. The other half stands still beside their lying companion.

That was their course of treatment.

With the help of a teammate, you harvest the magic that flows around you and recover the damaged flesh little by little.

However, the situation was so big that the repair itself was almost impossible.

Kettler sits a little distance away and watches.

“I don't think it's... going to be easy. ”

There was no regret in his voice.

“What can I say? I'm satisfied to have met such an amazing man. ”

One of the articles who was lying in bed and receiving treatment said so.

There was no shame in his voice at all. I felt a slight tingling of coolness in my gut.

In fact, they were already dead bodies. Since the situation was forcibly holding on to it, the attitude towards death itself was different.

“He was a great guy, though. The result will be the same for the next fight, but I still want to fight again. ”

“Shouldn't we get some equipment? I think I can try something with good equipment. ”

Kettler smiles bloody.

“We don't have enough now, so we won't have enough. ”

In total, 48 of the 100 knights have fallen. There is no way 52 of them could have done what was less than 100.

Not all 52 people remained healthy. It was better than 48 people lying down. In fact, their condition was not so good.

There were only 12 knights who could say he was fine.

The rest were more likely to vanish if they fought again.

So it was ridiculous to see him again and fight.

As they do so, one wall slowly begins to climb, where it is used as an entrance.

Soon as all the walls went up, Hyun-seok appeared.

The streetscape rushes in. Then the wall went down again.

“It's been a while.”

Kettler slowly rises to the surface of the stone.

“Hello?”

Kettler's tone was unbelievable.

Hyun-seok approaches Kettler and looks around at the knights being treated. Then he nodded.

Their condition was well understood by just one glance.

The Magic Stream is unstable, and there are magical cracks everywhere. Perhaps if we don't stop the rift, the magic will flow through endlessly and eventually vanish.

“I'm here to heal and talk. ”

Kettler glares at the words of the stone.

“Heal? Is it treatable? You know, we can't heal with potions or anything like that. ”

“That's all I know. I might be able to use the Rainbow Elixir, but I can't use it for something I'm not sure about... ”

“Rainbow elixir? Do you have it? ”

Kettler was surprised by the words Rainbow Elixir.

The Rainbow Elixir was a tremendous treasure, even in his prime.

“It can only be made in a steeple. ”

Hyun-seok did not give an answer about it. You didn't have to tell me you were the new Horseman.

Kettler didn't want to hear the answer either. He nods.

“Well...... it might not be much use to us. ”

It may be useful, but spending such precious treasure on yourself was just a waste.

It was much better to use it on someone else who could be of great help.

Kettler looked at the stone and said,

“Why don't you write it? Looks like we're running out of time for growth. ”

When it hit the limits of growth, the Rainbow Elixir was the same shape as the other players or people in the dungeon.

“Let's start with the treatment. ”

Hyun-seok said so and carefully examined Kettler. It looked fine on the outside, but it wasn't.

There are a myriad of microscopic cracks in the Magical Core. If we don't do this in time, we can prevent something from being stopped by a hoe.

“You're hurt pretty bad. ”

Kettler's eyes became strange in the words of the stone.

“Can you recognize it? ”

No one but himself knew that he was hurt. It was not even known to his men.

One look at you and you realize it.

“It's a long shot, but it's amazing. ”

The stone moves its magic like it's not a big deal. The magic of the stone coils around Kettler.

“Relax. Don't resist. ”

If I resisted at this time, the wound could get deeper at a moment's notice. So it's best to lie comfortably.

But Kettler didn't lie down, he loosened his whole body.

Hyun-seok lays his palm on Kettler's chest.

Shya-ah-ah!

An enormous magical force flows through the palm of the stone into Kettler's body.

The magic of the stone wraps around Kettler's core. Then I started filling in the cracks.

Usually, no matter how much I filled it up, I would leave traces of it. That means it can't be a complete cure.

But that was not the case. I have surpassed Kettler's expectations and gone on to make much more fundamental treatments.

You melt your core completely, making it drool, and then you make it hard again.

Kettler was amazed to death by how his magical core was changing.

The treatment did not take longer than I thought. And this way, all the knights who are lying down can be cured.

“I don't understand how this is possible. ”

Kettler shakes his head.

Is it possible to rub someone else's Magic Core with such a free material instead of your Magic Core? No, I couldn't believe that there was someone out there who could sleep with this much magic core.

“How are you? Feeling better? ”

Kettler glanced at the stone with a silly eye.

“Are you feeling better? Rather, it seems to be stronger than before it was hurt. ”

The Magic Core became even stronger. And while experiencing injuries and treatments, he gained a better understanding of his magical powers.

Perhaps you don't know it, but if you fight him again, you will be able to show him clearly different from before.

“It's been a long time since I've wanted to train. ”

Kettler takes a step back, saying so. And politely told Hyun-seok.

“I'll ask them to do the same. They're still a little rusty to get away with. ”

Hyun-seok laughed and walked to the knights who were being treated.

Everyone saw what Hyun-seok just did, so they looked at the incoming Hyun-seok with a mixture of tension and expectations.

All the knights who were lying down were already up.

“First... I'd better start with the most serious person." ”

Hyun-seok said so and sat down next to the knights. It's 100 cores to fix again. I couldn't keep doing such a tough thing.

Hyun-seok points his finger at one of the knights.

Then the knight ran up and stood straight in front of the stone.

Hyun-Seok put his palm on the knight's chest. And one of the knights nearby calls out with his other hand.

I also raised my palm to the chest of the approaching knight.

Whoo-hoo!

An enormous amount of magic poured out of the hands of the stone that could not even be compared to the treatment of Kettler.

The magic surrounded the two knights perfectly.

And so began the treatment.

* * *

“Phew. This isn't easy. ”

The stone was hanging on the couch.

In front of him, the Arphor Knights looked at that with admiration and wonder.

“How are you feeling? Now we can move, right? ”

“Yes, I feel much better. ”

One of the knights responded on behalf of him.

It wasn't just getting better. I thought my magical core was broken and I couldn't live with it anymore, but I fixed it and made it even harder.

If the magical core was intact, the Arphor Knights could afford to pay for any injury.

It was possible because they had lost their bodies because of the curse, not because they were naturally like that.

It won't be easy to get hurt in the future anyway. Your core is getting a lot harder.

Moreover, the rest of the Knights experienced Kettler's experience.

They became much stronger as they gained understanding of magic.

So, I was forced to express my admiration and admiration at the same time, looking at the reality that made me like this.

“Now that the treatment is over, it's time to have a conversation. ”

Kettler stepped in front of the fence and sat across from him on a couch.

“You want to know who fought us? ”

As Hyun-Seok nods, Kettler opens his mouth slowly with serious eyes.

“He wasn't a regular guy. I've never seen anyone so strong. ”

Kettler recalls the fight for a moment before saying:

“He may have retreated while fighting us, but if he had insisted on fighting until the end, we would all have died there. ”

His expression became more and more serious.

Hyun-seok heard from Jang-chun that he was a great player who surpassed the level of 200 three years ago.

Maybe it's already over 300 levels by then. There must be a limit to Zhang Chun's recognition.

So, what level are you on? ’

Kettler or the Arphor Knights are really strong. A player of only level 300 cannot stand alone.

“How badly did he get hit? ”

Kettler shakes his head.

“I don't know. But... it won't be that big. He fought harder than I thought. ”

“You saved yourself? ”

“Even the timing when he didn't fight back was when we started running without covering ourselves in the fire. ”

His expression became serious.

Perhaps the opposing Pokémon made them into this state and were not hit at all.

It was much stronger than I expected.

‘Can I really beat him now? ’

Suddenly, I wondered why Lexton Energy targeted the future industry and the Vortex black market so dramatically with this person.

‘Maybe...... I'll meet you at Emperor Tower. ’

Hyun-Seok thought he should be really careful when going to attack the Emperor Tower this time.

Or be prepared in advance.

* * *

Carlson, the director of Lexton Energy, frowned, looking at the only person who didn't want to do what he wanted.

“You're leaving again? ”

“Looks like Cavalry found something interesting. We need to check it out and search the area. ”

“Are you going to look for that key or something again? ”

Michael chuckles.

“But it's getting easier, isn't it? You can do this on your own. You can stop yelling now. ”

Carlson shuts up. In fact, what he said in this situation is very accurate.

But I couldn't help but catch Michael because the difference was so obvious without him.

“I dropped off a bunch of new kids this time. It's probably better than installing them myself if I use them. ”

Carlson nods. And I looked at Michael with bored eyes.

Michael brought 15 players, like monsters above level 250, to find out what they did.

The Mayotte who first found herself came to level 212 and is now a level 221.

It was a tremendous level up speed. But that's not enough, bringing in 15 players over 250.

When I asked him how he had become so strong, the answer was consistent. I said thanks to Michael.

“Why don't you tell me a secret about how you've grown so fast? ”

Michael shakes his head.

“It's just me. It has to do with skills. ”

Carlson smiles bitterly. It looked like it had skills related to growth. Every time I found out, I felt like I was going higher and higher.

It was a strange feeling and awe.

“Maybe it's a little late for your next visit. So take care of yourself. ”

Michael disappears.

Carlson stares at Michael for a moment, then picks up the phone with a stiff look.

“Mayotte. Take them all to the Emperor Tower. Keep it there until it's perfectly ready. Somehow... I have a bad feeling. ”

Carlson pauses to think of Michael.

Honestly, I wanted Michael to be more active and help himself.

But Michael did not cross a line. Every time I saw him, it seemed like there was something else.

I don't know what it is, but it must have something to do with what it does when it helps itself.

“I wish I could figure out what it is.... ”

Keywords are the key, and choices and memories.

Carlson was still able to remember what Michael used to say.

“The chosen one. Who has all been remembered. Be the key to a fragmented world. ”

At that time, Michael clearly said that.

“Then I'll just have to find him. ”

Carlson's eyes darken.
