The Live

Vogel -

In a giant flask.

Elvin opens his eyes in it.

How many days has it been? ’

It's been a long time since I opened my eyes.

Elvin raises his head and looks around.

“Is it empty? ”

Elvin rises from halfway down. Apparently, there was a half-full of blue liquid in the flask, but for some reason it was empty.

Elvin is confused for a moment because he doesn't know what he's talking about. Soon, he comes out of the flask.

A spacious cavity with tons of books.

It looked familiar.

“Are you awake?”

In a hundred thousand voices, Elvin turns his head.

Through the jointly entering door, a hundred thousand of them were biting a loaf of bread into their mouths.

“I'm a little out. I brought some food. ”

“What happened? ”

“You don't know? You're alive, right?”

Alive.

It was the end of the experiment if it failed in the first place. No, it wasn't an experiment.

“I was frankly surprised. I didn't think that even if I took the potion, I would be able to completely absorb the essence like this. ”

A flask containing Elvin.

It contains the essence of Abram's magic power. It was the half essence that was used on Yoon Jae.

Of course, the fact that there was essence could not be repeated the same experiment as Yoon Jae. To begin the experiment, Abram had to develop a potion.

- Give me the experiments you did on him.

Elvin's sudden request.

Hundreds of thousands pondered whether or not to accept that request.

If it weren't for his personal curiosity, he wouldn't have listened.

"Was Jin-seok interested in him? ’

It was Kim Jin-seok who had little interest in anyone else. For more than 20 years after entering the world of the other side, Kim Jin-seok insisted on evaluating someone so arrogantly.

What the hell are you looking at? ’

Hundreds of thousands had no contact with Elvin. Kim Jin-seok, on the other hand, met Elvin, took an interest in him and taught him the sword himself.

A hundred thousand that had not been interested in Elvin until now began to be interested in him. I wondered what Elvin saw and what Kim Jin-seok was interested in.

- I have one potion left.

Ultimately, the Hundred Thousand decided to do Elvin a favor.

In the beginning, a hundred thousand people made a potion that Abram had developed to take to Yoon Jae.

I can't make several because they're so difficult to make, but thanks to you, there is one potion left.

A hundred thousand took the potion to Elvin. Of course, there was no guarantee that the experiment would succeed.

- We can't be sure of the possibility of success. If the theory is wrong, you might die in the middle of it. Do you still want to do this?

- Yes, sir.

The answer I didn't have any worries about.

Since then, Hundred Thousands repeated their experiments on Yoon Jae to Elvin as well.

It absorbs the magical power contained in the essence while taking the potion and strengthens the magical circuit itself.

“How do you feel? ”

“I can't say for sure. But it feels a little bit different. ”

“Exotic?”

“I don't know where Abram extracted this power from, or from whom, but the nature of the magic is very different from ours. ”

Elvin shrugs and adds.

“I'm not sure how anything else has changed. ”

It was the same answer as Yoon Jae.

But that was not the answer to what had happened to him.

Elvin, like Yun Jae, was unaware of how this experiment had changed him.

‘But something has changed.... ’

I didn't seem to recognize it myself, but I could only perceive a hundred thousand.

Something has changed. Not only the visible look of the eye, but also the flow of magical power that flows through the atmosphere and concealment.

It's an unexpected result. ’

In the beginning, a hundred thousand did not catch the probability of success itself that high.

It was true that he might die. Of course, I would stop the experiment itself if I could, but only that it was possible.

But when the experiment started, the progress was completely different from what I expected.

‘Scream less than once. ’

An experiment with essence was an experiment that strengthened the magical circuit itself within the body.

It was accompanied by pain such as the removal and reconstruction of blood vessels throughout the body.

Nevertheless, Elvin naturally absorbed the essence without screaming once.

‘Based on the results, the absorption rate is higher than Yoon Jae... ’

I wondered.

I wanted to see for myself how much Elvin had changed.

“Then again.... ”

Hundreds of thousands smiled and asked.

“You can tell by moving your body, right? ”

* * *

It took ten full days for Yoon Jae's body to return to normal.

It took longer than before to recover from the side effects of the reversal. It also meant that he struggled with Satan that much.

After recovering, Yoon Jae urged Arhan.

- Have you compiled a list of those who crossed the street?

A path through the factions of men and demons.

Yoon Jae wanted to cross that road as soon as possible and go to the Devil's camp. To find the pieces you can get there.

- I've got a rough list. Don't worry, I've got you pegged as the perfect fit.

- What's the date?

- Didn't you hear? Then ten days from now.

- It's too late.

- It's not too late.

- If it's my condition, I'm fine. I've already rested enough.

Arhan does not bend his mind. But it was the same with Yoon Jae.

- …… Not right now. The road map is not yet completed. Just wait until we hear back from the agents. If you go deeper into the middle zone and get lost, it might take longer.

It was a compromise by Arhan. That said, Yoon Jae could no longer insist.

A few more days later, a thousand returned. Yoon Jae talks to him, walking down the Tollette corridor, if he just got back.

“What are you doing here? ”

Yoon Jae examined the appearance of the Hundred Thousand returning in a ragged robe.

His clothes were not ordinary. A piece of equipment crafted by the White Top Clan that blends well with its defensiveness and convenience.

The fact that such a garment turned into a rag meant that it wasn't always the case.

Hundred thousand replied with a weary look on his face.

“I'll talk to you later. ”

“Yes?”

Yoon Jae puzzled to see the hundred thousand walking by her side.

I had no idea what I had done to make the Hundred Thousand so tired. Yoon Jae glanced back at him for a moment and turned his head again.

Then.

“Mr. Elvin? ”

A hundred thousand later, I saw Elvin coming from a long way down the hall.

“Are you up?”

“It's been a while since I woke up. Where the hell have you been? Lois is looking for you a lot. ”

Elvin suddenly left town ten days ago.

After a few days of silence, Royce went around asking about Elvin to Yoon Jae and the regular. I guess he was worried sick.

“Yeah? I'll hear your nagging again. ”

Elvin mutters as if he's embarrassed, but his expression seems open.

What's different? ’

Yoon Jae looked closely at Elvin's face.

When I looked at it from the outside, it was hard to be sure what was different. But I could see that he was different.

Has your magic changed? ’

The flow of magical power in him during the concealment.

That was different. That's why I felt like Elvin's mood had changed, too.

‘Maybe……. ’

“Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Yoon Jae stares at his face, and Elvin asks. Yoon Jae was embarrassed and hurriedly said.

“No, it's nothing. ”

“Fresh.”

Elvin said that and passed by Yoon Jae's side. Yoon Jae looks away along Elvin's face, passing by him.

I've never seen a face that looks so good. ’
