I felt a fidgeting touch.Hesitantly, Moon Bora placed her hand on my chest.
“……”
Soon, her hair brushed against my face, tickling me.
The unique, beautiful scent of lavender wafted through my nose.
At the same time.
A soft sensation, hard for any vigorous man to resist, was felt all over my body.
Moon Bora.
She, who could undoubtedly be called a beauty, nestled snugly into my embrace.
Her slender neck felt along my arm.
The breath that brushed against me gave a delicate feeling, yet her body, which could only be described as violent, touched me, stirring emotions within.
Truly.Phew, damn it.
‘This isn’t easy.’
“Se-Seha?”“……”
Fortunately, I was preoccupied with rejecting the qi trying to be absorbed into my body and circulating it.
Of course, that didn’t mean I couldn’t feel this sensation, so I endured, mentally drawing the character for ‘patience’ dozens of times.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Internally, the heat of
It felt like I was about to explode in many ways.
―Bearing the seed of a strong and great warrior is a woman’s duty. No one will refuse your selection. Rather, they’ll consider it an honor.
Damn it.
Why, of all times, do Horman’s words come to mind now?
I can’t do this.
Originally, I intended to circulate the qi a bit more, to grasp control, and then proceed, but it seemed better to start right away.
I couldn’t hold out any longer.
“Moon Bora, I’m going to start.”“Yes, yes!”
I took a deep breath.Slowly, but surely…I pulled Moon Bora into my embrace.
“Ungh.”“……”
Moon Bora, who had been twitching, became quiet.
A tight embrace with no space between us.
Soon, the yang qi I possessed began to flow over her chest and seep into her being.
Indeed, it seems Cheon Mira didn’t dress her in this outfit as a joke.
It was transferred to Moon Bora without any hesitation.
And from the sensation I felt, I let out a small sigh.
“…Ah.”
The inside of Moon Bora was more severe than I had thought.
Sharp ice crystals had spread everywhere, transforming into blade-like forms and embedding themselves in various places.
Normally, they should have melted naturally.
But the cold was too intense to allow that.
Some of them, with their unique patterns, indicated the side effects of the ultimate skill [Frost Snow Blossom].
It must be internal injuries from the battle with Jing Daram.
Considering that fight was weeks ago, just how…
‘How much pain must she have been in…’
I gently stroked Moon Bora’s head, overwhelmed with sympathy.
“…It must have hurt a lot, right?”“I-I’m okay. This much… I can endure for Seha.”“……”
Her response made my heart ache even more.I pulled Moon Bora’s slender shoulders closer.
“S-Seha.”“……”“…It’s okay. I didn’t say anything… so it’s natural you didn’t know.”“…I’m sorry.”“Really, it’s okay.”
At that point, Moon Bora and I just held each other in silence.
It felt as if time had stopped.
Only the notification ringing in my ears assured me that things were progressing well.
Does it have an effect?
At that moment, a breath filled with happiness escaped Moon Bora’s lips.
“Haah…”
It was the breath of a patient freed from pain.
However, not all of the energy was fully absorbed.
It’s inevitable.
In the first place, elixirs are such that even the consumer cannot absorb 100%, and about 30-40% is discharged from the body.
The remnants of residual heat that could not be absorbed were fully taken into my body.
And this was by no means an amount to be ignored.
1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour.
As the circulation continued and the remaining residual heat accumulated, at some point, new information was updated.
A double level-up, no less.
True to the prestige of the Unique grade, the stats increase was exceptional.
Additionally, there was unexpected news.
‘Crazy?!’
I was astonished inwardly.Wait, guidance?A guidance function?
In ‘GAL’, the guidance function was an extremely favorable auxiliary effect.
Commonly, it was possible to shoot backward and still hit the back of the opponent’s head.
‘Wow, that’s amazing…’
Of course, I would have to check how much guidance it had, but it wasn’t difficult since I just needed to shoot into the air.
‘With this, one of the weaknesses of [Flare Buster] has been overcome.’
I was worried about the slow bullet speed, wondering what if it missed.Now that the homing feature is added, such occurrences will significantly decrease.Moreover, various applications will be possible.
Following this, there was more good news.
‘Huh?’
A bit of confusion.
Then, ah, I understood.
It was mentioned when I first learned
[The Eyes of Reversed Heaven] allows skill duplication.
The [Burning Flames] I originally had evolved into [Burning Flame Demon].
Therefore, theoretically, relearning it was possible…
‘I almost forgot because I rarely used it.’
Of course, since I had the Flame Demon.Apart from the advantage of low mana consumption, there was no real need to use it.Still, it might evolve in a completely different direction.
I nodded in satisfaction, considering it a small gain.
Rustle.
Moon Bora, who was in my arms, squirmed.
“…Seha?”“Huh? What’s up?”
The heat is still being transmitted well…?
Moon Bora glanced up at me.Beyond the bandages, a silhouette that must surely be beautiful shimmered.
“…I want to see your face.”“Uh, um… well.”“…Can’t I?”
Yeah. Most of the qi has been transferred anyway…There shouldn’t be any problem.With that thought, I lifted the blindfold.And I flinched.
Moon Bora.
With the moonlight shining, she was sweating beads of perspiration, gazing at me quietly.
“…Seha.”
As if she had a fever, the sweat streaming down like rain naturally highlighted her embarrassing parts.
I shut my eyes tightly.Moon Bora chuckled softly at the sight.She nestled into my embrace.
“Hehe, sorry for being stubborn.”“…If you know, then please ease up. I’m really having a hard time, you know?”“…I didn’t know you could make such a face, Seha. It’s a bit delightful.”“…What’s delightful about it?”
To my question, Moon Bora left a whispering remark.
“…You’re seeing me as a woman.”“……”
A moment later.
I lifted my eyelids that had been shut.
Ah, darn…
Did I fall asleep for a moment…?I looked down.Moon Bora had her eyes closed peacefully.She wasn’t sleeping.She was simply gathering the warmth being emitted and bringing it into her embrace, feeling happiness.
I flinched while brushing Moon Bora’s wet hair.
The rough surface etched on her forehead.
It was undoubtedly a mark where the sweat had frozen.
The meaning was simple.
The words casually mentioned by Cheon Mira.The words that it ‘might fail.’It was the moment those words became reality.
‘Even if she absorbs all the yang qi, it seems a mere elixir isn’t enough.’
I patted Moon Bora’s back and thought for a moment.
There were two major solutions lingering in my mind.
One was, as Cheon Mira suggested, to partially give up on the incantation of [Snow Ice Divine Arts] and handle it as a degraded version.
But even this didn’t seem to be a fundamental solution in my view.
If things continued this way, the final growth Moon Bora would achieve was likely to be ambiguous, neither here nor there.
‘It might be better to add another ice-type skill to increase its power.’
Moon Bora was a natural 4★ grade character, but I previously explained that she didn’t live up to the 4★ star value.
The reasons were the lack of performance in her inherent abilities and the lack of growth potential.
Now, the best path for Moon Bora was to follow in the footsteps of Cheon Mira and become the second
Therefore, I naturally thought of the second method.
It was to use
‘…The message that came out after defeating the
The new path of possibilities for Moon Bora that I thought of while looking at it.
However, Moon Bora’s consent is needed to pass it on.
This means…
‘I have to properly explain [Eyes of Reversed Heaven] as well.’
After pondering a bit, I shrugged, thinking it was no big deal.I considered it fortunate.
I was planning to confess soon anyway.It’s just that the timing got a little earlier.
“Moon Bora.”“…Yes.”“You felt it too, right? The failure.”“…Yes.”
Moon Bora nodded slightly.
She looked at me with a bitter expression.
“The cold is much stronger than I thought. As expected… it seems my weak vessel can’t contain… the grand power of the master. It’s okay. I’m grateful even for what you’ve done so far–”
“There’s one way. This will surely eliminate your cold. At the same time, it will open up a new path.”
“…What?”
In response, I let out a small sigh.
Seeing is believing.
Let’s start with just one.Among them, I made a definitive choice.There was only one list where that was possible.
Ding!
Moon Bora’s eyes widened at the content that surfaced.
She slowly read through it.
Soon, her pupils began to shake as if an earthquake had hit them.
It was no wonder.
The ability to copy and transfer skills to others was unprecedented.
In the first place, the fact that Meowi accepted and understood it without any questions was strangely pure.
‘It’s okay.’
If it’s Moon Bora…I could trust her.
“Se-Se-Se-Seha? Wh-What is this…?”“…Moon Bora, will you listen to my story?”
“My unique ability. [Eyes of Reversed Heaven].”
The infinite possibilities it can achieve.
