Damn System

Episode 53

Chapter 13 Main Scenario (2)

There was a goal between Rashar’s eyebrows.

Does the increased magic power decrease again? Never had anything like this happen before.

I was taken aback by the unexpected situation, and when I stood still, something came out from the front of Kei.

He picked it up with a calm expression.

“Evil… … the former?”

I wondered why it suddenly jumped out, so a murmur leaked out without me knowing.

But I was able to calm down soon. Because I already knew that Kei had a subspace.

Did you take it out of there, said Kay, scaring to think.

“Did you say you were a stranger?”

“what?”

“I hear you call someone like me a stranger.”

Rashar kept his mouth shut instead of answering.

Because now I wasn’t sure that Kay was a stranger.

“First of all, do you think that means us?”

“we?”

“There are not few people like me. I haven’t come this far yet.”

Inhaling, Rashar held his breath and clenched his hands tightly.

“Anyway, we absorb mana too.”

She watched Kei’s actions with a little dazed feeling.

“It’s not sucking from this Meseo, it’s killing and absorbing monsters.”

“… … .”

“Something like this with the mana absorbed like that.”

Raising his breastplate, he stretched out his hand and said calmly.

“You can buy these things.”

Tuk, tuk tuk.

A potion bottle the length of a finger fell to the floor and tumbled.

An item that became impossible to mass-produce after the Mage Tower collapsed.

The item that desperately needs a stable supply is that potion.

I got the impression that I have a lot of such potions, but I’m buying them? where?

“I gave you the bread I gave you magic like this and brought it back in return.”

As the number increased to 10, 20, and even 50, the magic power felt by Kei gradually decreased.

“The monsters won’t lose their magic power, do I have to explain more?”

Rashar smiled at Kay, who asked in a light tone, as if it was okay now.

But there was no word leaking out of it.

I couldn’t figure out exactly what to say.

What was happening right before my eyes was so disconcerting.

Of course, the embarrassment soon disappeared without a trace due to the rising anticipation.

‘It’s us… … .’

There are other sub-species like me that absorb mana while maintaining intelligence.

Rashar closed his eyes tightly as he watched the rising anticipation.

The war that had been eating away at her life for a long time thought she was dry now.

Foolishly holding out hope again.

The time when Rashar swallowed a laugh and caught his breath.

“Mistress, how do you wear this?”

Kay mumbled while examining the breastplate.

* * *

There may be monsters that absorb magic from a medium called Meseo, but there won’t be those who spit it out again.

‘maybe.’

Because they don’t have a system.

‘Moreover, giving away one’s magical power also means weakening again.’

So, I decided to show you how the mana that had increased abnormally over the past few days was reduced again.

I bought one because I was looking at armor, and I also bought a large amount of potions that I will continue to use in the future.

Did it alleviate my doubts?

“I… … Can I help you?”

Ryasar drew his sword and came closer.

She taught me how to put on the armor step by step.

“Here, we have to open the seams.”

What I bought was a breastplate that covered the left shoulder and chest area.

It looks like it barely protects vital parts, but it’s more active than full-body armor.

In addition to that, there were words I knew in the item description.

[Geber elite scout gauntlet (7,343 hp)]

• Classification: Defense Equipment.

• Material: Black iron.

• Description: Light armor designed to protect vital points while maintaining mobility and mobility required for scouts. Accumulation magic tools can be attached and detached.

‘Accumulation magic tools.’

There was a groove in the area surrounding the left shoulder.

It looked as if something could be inserted into the part where the beast, whether it was a lion or a wolf, opened its mouth wide.

Seeing that it came out empty, it seems that I have to get the accumulation magic tools separately.

The problem is, I’ve never seen an accumulation magic tool in the store.

‘Because it’s certain that I’m in this world for now.’

You can ask Ahel later or find out separately.

“From this?”

“okay.”

With Rashar’s help, I put on the shoulder straps and fastened the leather belt.

Then, when I put on the part that protected my chest, there was a clicking sound and the armor pressed against my chest.

‘That’s right… … .’

Does it come out according to the size of the buyer from the beginning?

I was adapting by looking at the unfamiliar armor, but Rashar said in a muffled voice.

“… … To clarify, it wasn’t because there was malice.”

“hmm?”

“I thought that it might have been too complacent to dispel my suspicions just by looking at God’s Protection… … .”

It was only after hearing those words that I understood everything.

‘Somehow, when I had to doubt it at first, it was strangely easy to get over it.’

At that time, it seems that the problem was solved easily because I used the authority.

It must have been difficult to think of a person who was granted the power of God as an enemy.

‘Because this is a world ruled by the seven gods.’

It must have been an oracle or something.

Just as I have to go to the temple, they have reasons to take me to the temple.

That’s why he obediently volunteered to guide him to the temple.

It’s clear that he didn’t ask why he wanted to go to the temple in the first place.

After a few days of companionship, that part became clear.

However, when I took him away, it seemed that I was confused because my magic power increased like the monsters.

‘good.’

Situation assessment is over. The question is, has Rashar completely cleared his doubts yet?

“Didn’t I say that just because there is no malice, there is no law that it is not evil?”

I returned exactly what Rashar had said.

Then Rashar’s face turned bright red.

“That, that, that… … .”

“In the first place, I received the authority, that is to say, the divine protection. Why do you still suspect that it’s the monster side? Didn’t I say that monsters are the enemies of the Seven Gods?”

“… … I have no face. For a moment, I couldn’t shake off the blasphemous thoughts.”

“A disrespectful thought?”

What do you think can be said to be disrespectful in the current situation?

After picking a few candidates, I soon came up with a plausible one.

‘Did you think that God was conspiring with the enemy?’

Just in case, I asked to confirm. Rashar did not deny it.

He just avoided my gaze with a look of embarrassment.

‘It seems that the internal solidarity is not strong enough for an apostle to doubt God.’

Or that Pinelpenia has no toxic trust.

After thinking for a while, I opened the storage box and took out the item in it.

[Voucher for one-time use of the power of Kalos]

“If you’re feeling uneasy, should I use another blessing? Then do you believe that it has nothing to do with the monster side?”

“what… … ?”

“I don’t think God would have beaten two people for betrayal.”

It was said in order to somehow follow him to the garrison, but Rashar’s eyes widened.

“There are more blessings?”

“Uh, this one says Carlos.”

According to the explanation Rashar gave, the gods who were in charge of the seven disciplines had different powers.

And the apostles are those who teach or directly practice the rules governed by that god.

First of all, I only used one of the seven powers myself.

‘Pinelpenia.’

The power to read the past. In a way, it fits well with the title of diligence.

If you look at the past, you will be able to see how that person lived.

Thanks to that, he can lead those with an indolent past to the path of diligence.

‘Perhaps it’s the power that targets the majority.’

What the apostles of diligence can see in the past is virtually everyone they encounter.

In other words, it means that you are destined to follow and nag at all the lazy people you encounter.

That’s why you have to be more diligent than anyone else. You have no choice but to practice diligence yourself.

On the other hand, Palao, the god of benevolence, and his apostles seemed to focus on the few rather than the many.

Palao is a god who takes pity on a life that is about to crumble and tells the way to save it.

‘Precisely, it should be seen as finding someone to save the majority on his behalf.’

The Palao’s power is to see the colors worn on people.

‘Gold silver bronze.’

It is said that the closer the color is to gold, the more charitable the person is.

Sometimes you can see that color on things too.

However, it seemed that there were not as many of them as I thought.

There were five or six bronze colors that Rashar saw, and more than half of them were objects or places.

It is said that they saw the same color in weeds seen in the mountains before the plague broke out, in places where groundwater was buried in drought-stricken areas, and so on.

‘I’ve only seen silver twice.’

It is said that both were human. Palao’s other apostles are guarding them.

‘Finally gold.’

It was said that it was a color that could only be seen in a hero enough to save a country.

In the long history of the church, gold has appeared no more than ten times.

Anyway, the apostle of Palao saves people through his eyes.

‘Lashar is the apostle of that palao.’

And the Authority of this Kalos I am holding.

Carlos is the only one among the 7 gods who can heal.

‘Was it the power to take negative things and change them into positive things?’

The power of Kalos, the god of kindness.

I don’t understand this, so I remember asking this quite a few times.

‘It takes misfortune and returns happiness.’

Suppose someone is unhappy because a limb has been cut off.

When you pay for the misfortune and return the happiness, Carlos gives you something to offset the misfortune.

‘It means that I can return limbs.’

It is not a power that can only be cured, but it is correct to see that it is also possible to heal due to the nature of power.

‘It’s a bit unusual that it’s not the subject who checks the value of misfortune, but the apostle’

If the target’s unhappiness is not great in the judgment of the Apostle of Kalos, the return happiness is also small.

First of all, I looked back at the explanation I heard, but the ambiguity is still the same.

‘Do I have to be unhappy now to be able to write?’

No, am I writing to someone else?

‘hmm… … Will something good happen to me if someone else writes it?’

To be honest, I was at a loss as to how to use this power.

Still, I was going to use it if necessary to prove that I’m not on the monster side.

“No, no! His protection is truly precious. Don’t use it carelessly.”

Rashar was frightened and dissuaded him.

“… … Are you precious?”

“He grants no power to anyone who is not an apostle by nature.”

“Oh yeah?”

Having said that, it sounds like you should save it.

I secretly put the Power Ticket back into the storage box.

“Then how are you going to believe me? Do you think I am a stranger?”

“Kuhm.”

“I must go to the temple? Please tell me how to take you. Shouldn’t I try too?”

Rashar cleared his throat repeatedly and averted his gaze.

‘Are you going to take me or not?’

I have to go to the temple even to talk to the system.

However, when the person who could take me to the temple was wandering around, I started getting annoyed.

“Can you answer me?”

“Boo, obviously, didn’t I say that I would guarantee your safety up to the garrison?”

That doesn’t mean I’ve withdrawn from my plan to take her.

Fortunately, it was fortunate, but I couldn’t help but feel a twist in my stomach.

“Hey, if you have a conscience, you shouldn’t say such things. You tried to kill me a moment ago.”

“Killing! I, I just wanted to help figure out the facts… … .”

It’s time to make excuses.

Rashar put his hands together politely and bowed his head.

“I am so sorry… … I was too hasty. I should have explained a little more calmly and asked for your understanding, but I stopped feeling anxious… … .”

It was rather me who was taken aback by his gloomy attitude.

‘No, what is this… … .’

Have you committed any mortal sin? I was taken aback by the overreaction than I expected, but I quickly shook my head, hiding my agitation.

‘This is an opportunity.’

Now that Lashar’s sense of indebtedness to me has deepened, this is an opportunity to ask questions that I was wary of crossing the line.

“Whoa.”

As he exhaled a long sigh, Rashar’s shoulders trembled.

“Let’s talk about it openly and coolly.”

As I spoke with a serious voice, Rashar looked at me and shook his head.

“First, let’s hear what an oracle is. I’m going crazy because I’m frustrated.”

Rashar rolled his eyes left and right and spoke in a cautious tone.

“… … Remember when I said we were at war?”

“Yeah, I heard the freaks came out of nowhere.”

One day, a war that started suddenly destroyed most of the countries on the continent.

Rashar’s motherland, Ferel Kingdom, also said that it had lost its dynasty.

The surviving high-ranking nobles rallied the resistance and held on.

“To tell you the truth… … The charter has not been good for the past few years.”

Instead of attaching a quadruple leg, I listened to Rashar’s explanation.
