The Live

Yoon Jae and Jeong followed Elvin and Royce into the building.

Behind them were numerous members of the Skyscraper clan.

Yoon Jae looks at Elvin's back and closes his eyes as he walks.

‘Not everything has changed. ’

The future has changed.

Because of you.

I was worried.

It means that the more variables there are when the diary is wrong.

But…….

‘Maybe it's a good thing. ’

[Abram.

He had been enraged for decades when he lost his memory and was tied to a melon.

He expressed his anger toward the large number of people who live in Mellon.]

Abram takes back his memories and powers, attacking Mellon.

There was no reason. It was just a buildup of anger towards Mellon.

The future recorded in the diary was terrible.

A future that must be changed.

Rather, it is a positive thing that the future is starting to change in the present situation.

"No."

Yoon Jae chewed his lips thinking of Abram, who disappeared.

‘Not quite... yet.' ’

Abram found himself in front of the Skyscraper Clan, and it was a good thing.

Thanks to that, the future changed.

In addition, Yoon Jae's words became credible.

It turned out that Abram had switched bodies and escaped from the constraints.

Yoon Jae looked at Elvin and Royse walking in front of him.

‘I can't do this alone. ’

Abram is strong.

Even though Yoon Jae and the regular person brought potions from the laboratory, they couldn't use all of their full strength.

Yoon Jae was unable to subdue Abram immediately.

But he knew how to deal with him.

And in order to do that...

‘We need to borrow their power. ’

Elvin and Royce enter the small room.

Yoon Jae and Jung also followed behind them.

Wide tables and dozens of chairs.

The configuration was short-circuited as if it were a room built for the meeting.

As soon as the door closed, the sound from the outside was blocked as well. Perhaps the same is true of the sound leaking from the inside out.

“Let's just talk like this. Too many people will be complicated and noisy. ”

Elvin says, ignoring the opinions of the other clans.

“Now, let's talk about this. What the hell is going on? ”

Yoon Jae sat down and looked at Elvin leaning against the door.

“…… you've seen it firsthand, haven't you? ”

“I know. Some damn inspiration named Abram is out of his mind. ”

Elvin says that, then thinks for a moment and corrects himself.

“No, you've finally come to your senses. From an inspirational standpoint. ”

“Did you really just say Abram? ”

Royce, who was listening to the story, looked around Elvin, Yun Jae, and the norm.

Elvin nods and tells her what he heard.

The dungeon Abram was looking for was his lab, and he found it and replaced it.

And because of that, all the constraints that were on him disappeared.

And…….

“Abram will attack Meln. ”

At the end of Elvin's words, Yoon Jae added.

Elvin and Royse's gaze was naturally directed at him.

“What makes you so sure? ”

“Abram had a potion ready. ”

“You ate? ”

“Yes.”

When Elvin recalled Abram's conversation with Yun Jae, Yun Jae nodded and said.

“There are two kinds of potions. One is to manipulate the cells of the body to reconstruct them, and to dramatically increase their physical ability and their regeneration. ”

“…… Why was it because of the new municipality and the unusual movement? ”

Elvin was able to understand the movements that Yun Jae and the normal person had demonstrated.

Even though they were strong, Yoon Jae and the regular were far beyond the common sense of the new person. It has never been outside the specification.

However, if it was because of Abram's potion, I could understand it somewhat.

“And the other one? ”

“A tablet potion that increases the absolute amount of Magical Power. ”

“Magic powers?”

The one who was surprised at Yun Jae's answer was Lois.

She said as if it didn't make sense.

“It's about raising physical abilities, I understand, but it's impossible to raise the absolute amount of magical power with potions. ”

“I agree with that. ”

Elvin and Royce were both veterans who had been in the other world for quite some time.

Meanwhile, they have encountered various items and skills from the other side of the world.

Among them, there were items or skills that definitely increased physical abilities.

But the ‘absolute amount’ of magical power was a slightly different story.

No item can increase the amount of Magic Power itself. even if it could affect the rate of consumption, the rate of amplification, the rate of recovery.

The only way to raise the absolute amount of magical power was to raise the magical stats.

And if there are such items or potions, the value would be truly astronomical.

“You may think that's impossible, but Abram made it possible. In fact, we both took the potion, and we saw the results. ”

“…… is this true? ”

Elvin asked the regular next to him if Yoon Jae's words were hard to believe.

Naturally, the regular person nodded without hesitation.

“Of course. In fact... I didn't think it was such a great thing. ”

Unlike Yun Jae, the regular didn't know the value of Abram's potion.

So the more I heard the story, the more I was surprised.

I thought the potion you took was so great.

“Did you know? ”

“What?”

“That potion is such a great potion. ”

“…… a little. ”

A late response.

Yoon Jae said to Elvin and Lois, avoiding the regular eye.

“Abram will try to remake the potion. ”

“…… of course. You'll need that potion to regain your old power. ”

Abram was weakened for no different reason.

Lack of magical power.

He was already a great wizard. In theory, there was no one to follow him.

It was the lack of magical power that drove him out of Mellon as he fled.

You can only use a small amount of magic because you lack the absolute amount of magic, and you can't fight for long.

Nevertheless, Abram showed a level of strength similar to that of Elvin.

What if he uses a potion to increase the absolute amount of magical power?

‘It will be an insurmountable monster. ’

Elvin frowns as if imagining was horrible.

“Elvin. If Abram makes potions and regains his magic.... ”

According to Royse, Elvin nods.

“Hard to handle. ”

Abram made it clear.

It's a shame, but we can rebuild it.

I was gonna make another one anyway.

“So? What about the potion? ”

Yun Jae was confident Abram would attack Mellon.

And based on that, Abram proposed a potion.

That's the problem.

Why Abram would attack Mellon.

Simply thinking about it, there was enough evidence.

Abram was as dangerous as he used hundreds of thousands of people as his research material a long time ago.

However, Yoon Jae seemed to know more than that.

“The ingredients you need to make potions…… are tens of thousands of people. ”

Drag -

“W-what? ”

The person who was most surprised by Yoon Jae's answer was normal.

He opened his eyes wide and woke up in his place without even knowing it.

Elvin and Royce looked at the norm with curious eyes in response to the norm.

“I guess you didn't know. ”

“Oh, that's ……. ”

Normally, he looked at Yoon Jae with confused eyes.

I heard that the ingredients for the potion are people. Regular people, however, naturally thought it was "one person."

And tens of thousands of them.

Yoon Jae opened his mouth to the look of clarification.

“The potion was not easily sentimental. I had my own skills, so I could finish my emotions, but the regular people didn't know what the potion was. ”

“Why didn't you tell him? ”

“I didn't feel the need to tell you. If the ingredients needed to make the potion were human, he might not have eaten it. ”

“Are you okay? ”

“No way. But what can I do? It's not about not eating it that the victim comes back alive. It's about doing whatever it takes to be strong. ”

“... He was even more ferocious than he looks. ”

Elvin is shocked and stares at the regular seating table.

‘I don't think that's... him. ’

A potion made with tens of thousands of people.

The fact that he ate it seemed to be quite shocked.

It was hard to tell which side was normal.

Based on reality, people close to the summit were normal.

As for the new person who had just crossed over to the other side, the normal response was common.

But…….

‘It's hard for him to survive that long. ’

Elvin's gaze turned to Yoon Jae.

He even knew the ingredients of the potion and drank them. And now, we're talking about it pretty heavily.

In some ways, we may think that we changed people.

Nevertheless, Yoon Jae thought of it as a means to accept it and become stronger.

There was nothing else to call him bad.

It was Abram who made the potion, not him.

Rather, if we had left the potion alone because we were reluctant to think about it, something bigger would have happened.

By the standards of the outside world, he was normal.

“Well, I know exactly what you're going to say. You're saying Abram's attacking people and residents in Mellon to make the potion? ”

“Yes.”

“Then he'll show himself back to Mellon. ”

“Abram won't come back here. ”

“Why? Like you said, you'll need materials to make potions again. ”

Ingredients for potions.

Human.

Abram needed a human who lived in Mellon to make a potion. So it was Elvin's idea to reveal himself again.

But…….

“He doesn't have to move himself. ”

Abram's real danger was not just because he was strong.

“The humans who were the ingredients of the experiment...... What do you think would happen now? ”

[…… Abram's disappearance led the Skyscraper Clan to leave early to explore Abram's laboratory.

When they were about to set up a search party for the lab.

At that moment, I can't forget.

Hundreds of thousands of chimeras…… attacked Meln. It was the beginning of a disaster.

……

…… all of this was Abram's doing.]

Yun Jae explained the myriad of chimeras he had seen in Abram's lab.

A creature made of humans and monsters, Chimera.

In Yun Jae's explanation, Elvin and Royse's expressions were crumpled as they were.

Experimenting with the same human was not just a matter of killing someone.

“…… So Abram's going to use those chimeras to attack Meln? ”

“Yes, most likely. ”

“Why are you doing this? Even if there are so many chimeras, why attack Mellon now? ”

“There is. The materials required to make the potion for the Magic Purification are not the lives of one or two humans." ”

Abram couldn't have made just three, if it was something simple to make.

Making potions requires countless lives. And to do that, Abram would never let Mellon go.

“Tens of thousands…… Maybe hundreds of thousands of lives. And the only way to do that in a short period of time is to move the chimeras. ”

“Ridiculous. ”

Elvin laughs in vain, placing one hand on his forehead.

The more I heard, the bigger the story.

It was bad enough that Abram had a grudge against Mellon right away, out of constraints.

Abram, he was a natural disaster on his own.

But there's even a horde of monsters made of chimeras in spite of them.

“But just because Abram has a Chimera army doesn't mean he can use it to attack Meln? ”

Royse opens her mouth with a curious thought.

“If you want to make potions, you have to take people... and make a ball." Killing people indiscriminately with chimeras doesn't make the potion complete. ”

“Probably... not. ”

“What makes you say that? ”

Yun Jae was speechless when Royse asked.

There was really nothing to answer from here.

If they didn't know what happened in the future through the diary, they wouldn't know.

Boom, boom-!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside.

I couldn't hear my voice properly because of the noise protection.

Elvin, who was standing at the door, was talking about something important, opened his face.

Gurgle-

“What's going on? ”

The clan member knocks on the door, answering urgently.

“Now, I think you need to step outside for a moment. ”

“Why?”

“That's ……. ”

* * *

You follow the clan members out of the building.

He was not the only one who was embarrassed. All the clans who were waiting outside felt that way.

Soon the group will know why.

It's because I heard a bad cry.

Kiaeaeae-eek!

The sound of crying has been transmitted from quite a distance. It was coming from a huge mountain range far away outside a huge city called Mellon.

“This……. ”

I didn't need to listen closely.

That the number is not one or two.

‘And it's like…. ’

It looks like a person is crying out like an animal.

Elvin and Royce glance back at Yoon Jae who was following them.

The look on his face that I knew he would.

Royse mutters as if it were absurd.

“Was it real……. ”

I've never cried so many monsters at once.

Moreover, the sound of crying was getting closer.

They'll probably hit Mellon soon enough.

“Maybe we should hurry. ”

With Elvin's muttering, Royse nods.

The chimeras start to move. There was enough reason to hurry.

However, there was more reason to hurry, as Yoon Jae said.

‘There's nothing wrong with him so far. ’

Yoon Jae's words felt a little poorly grounded somewhere.

But that's been true all along.

It's like putting pieces of a scattered puzzle together.

If everything Yun Jae said is true, it was a problem even after Chimera attacked Mellon.

‘If Abram regains his strength...... that's a really big deal. ’

From now on, it was a fight against time.

Elvin's determination opens the door.

“Lois, you're in charge of protecting her. This is not my area of expertise. ”

“... Are you going to be okay by yourself? ”

“I'm not alone. I have to take the kids. Oh, and this one. ”

Elvin said so, and found Yoon Jae's shoulders sitting there.

“We need directions. Are you going to be okay?”

“Even if I told you not to come, I was going to follow you. ”

Yoon Jae nodded happily and the regular person who was momentarily stunned also opened his mouth.

“Then I too.... ”

“No, you stay here. ”

Elvin interrupts the regular words.

“I'm really going to take the smallest number of people. I have to take this guy for directions, but you're still not qualified. ”

“It will help. ”

“I know you're stronger than new people. Well, it's actually better than most people. But you know what? ”

Elvin nods at those of the other Skyscrapers around him.

“Of these people, the placenta is stronger than you. ”

“ ……. ”

Regular people did not refute anything and kept their mouths shut.

There was nothing wrong with it.

What he said about strength was not just physical ability or magic.

The composition, skill, and experience of the items or skills you have.

The regular was lacking more than the rest of the skyscrapers outside.

“Well, don't get too worked up. It's just" not yet. "I don't know what's gonna happen in a few minutes. ”

Elvin was changing his assessment of Yoon Jae and the norm from day to day.

Maybe a little unfamiliar at the moment. Despite my physical abilities and my magical abilities, my experience is still lacking.

But it was time to solve the problem.

‘No, no, no. ’

Elvin turned his gaze to Yoon Jae.

‘That guy...... is worth it now. ’

Just once, to stop Abram from attacking and to hurt him.

The ability to cut through electric shocks that didn't have physical properties could have worked fairly well on Abram, who made magic his primary attack.

Moreover, the basic ability was better than any of the existing ones.

‘Above all... there are a lot of questions that haven't been solved yet. ’

Abram came to see Yoon Jae.

To take the bracelet he was wearing.

Abram has recovered a memory he has only just lost. Then the bracelet that Yoon Jae is wearing must have something to do with Abram's past.

There were many questions.

If we go together, I might be able to answer a few questions.

Elvin explains the situation to the clans right there and summons ten.

“…… Rous, Yoshiho. You're coming with me. ”

There were 40 Skyscrapers who lived in Mellon.

Nine of them move with Elvin, and Lois and the remaining 30 stay with her in Mellon to help defeat the Chimera.

Elvin quickly completes the calculation in his mind.

“Are you sure about that? ”

Elvin nods, worrying about Lois.

“If we take more, it won't be easy this way. And the kids I call them, but they're all in on it. It's better this way. ”

Capturing Abram is important, but protecting Meln is also important.

In the beginning of the village, Meln, there were very few skilled people compared to other villages.

Most of the people who made up Mellon were new, or in year one or two.

Moreover, the difference between someone who knew the situation and someone who didn't know the situation was also clear.

It was shorthanded to explain the situation to the people in the village and respond to the attack by the chimeras.

“Is there no further support from the Skyscrapers? ”

Yoon Jae asked me, just in case.

If I could get more support from the Skyscrapers, things would be a whole lot easier.

“Nothing. Abram, who used to run the portal, is gone." We'll need at least a month's prep to reactivate the portal without Abram. ”

“…… too bad. ”

“So we need to stop Abram now. Otherwise...... hundreds of thousands will die. ”

Elvin said that and patted Yoon Jae on the back.

“Well, let's get moving. Guide me.”

Yoon Jae left the Sovereign Union and started walking forward.

“Follow me.”

A total of 11 individuals, including Yoon Jae and Elvin, set out for Abram's laboratory.
