Chapter 346
358. The secret story of Lofiarmus 3
Doradel took out an old disc-like object from her bosom.
“What is that?”
‘Is it a plate made of stone?’
It seems to be an ancient relic that seems to be at least thousands of years old, with a mysterious energy that can’t be said.
“This item is a sacred relic of an unknown ancient god that can fill its lifespan equal to the remaining lifespan of a human by offering it as a sacrifice.”
First of all, the act of increasing lifespan in the Azul Continent itself is not taboo.
It means that humans do not catch or catch it just because they live for 500 years.
However, it is very difficult to extend lifespan through sound training, and although it is easy to extend lifespan by harming others, it often requires dark magic, so if you get caught, you will be sentenced to immediate judgment or wanted by the church. In the end, ‘immortality’
itself is not a taboo, but it wasn’t something anyone could easily try.
‘In the first place, it’s also a world where there are more people who die by accident than those who die after completing their lifespan.’
However, rare items that can increase lifespan by sacrificing even without using dark magic were sometimes found among the ancient relics.
The disc artifact that Doradel held out was one of them.
“I will prepare the offerings. This disk can be used up to 12 times, but I have used it 4 times so far, so now I can use it 8 times.”
“You say you don’t use such amazing things yourself and give them away?”
Lee Ji-ah shouted with suspicious eyes.
“Is that fake? Is it fake?”
“It’s real. It is genuine.”
“But why give it to me?”
“That’s because it’s something I don’t need.”
Doradel shouted, clenching her fists.
“Aren’t you noticing? That I have fulfilled my dream of extending my life.”
“What are you talking about? Translated by Seunghyun Kang!”
“It’s obvious.”
Kang Seung-hyun spat it out with a face that said it was not the same.
“What is the reason that human alone lives over 100 years old?”
Doradel explained that the curse would weaken if the cursed person killed another family member, but in reality there was one more condition.
“If you kill someone in your family, your remaining life span will be extended… Something like this, right? It would be difficult to live close to 120 by simply weakening the curse.”
“what?”
“…!! …!!”
Information that cannot be compared to weakening the curse.
If it is known that it increases the lifespan itself even though the family is already on the verge of destruction, it would not be strange if a friendly battle royal of the Lofiarmus family takes place right away.
“But then what’s more strange?”
Lee Ji-ah, who was thinking deeply, asked with a puzzled face.
“Even if it’s life extension, it’s an ability that will disappear if the curse is lifted anyway.”
Now, even if it is possible to extend the lifespan using the family curse, it will not be possible to extend the lifespan if the curse is lifted.
“In a situation like that, there’s no way they’re easily handing out immortal items! Is that a fake too?”
“Heh, you’re a girl with a great imagination.”
Doradel, who was listening to Lee Ji-ah’s story, smiled kindly and opened her mouth.
“I’ve been asked to lift my family’s curse… but I don’t think I’ve ever asked for my curse to be lifted.”
“What is that again? This inspiration is really hard to say.”
“I have no intention of breaking my curse.”
God’s hatred on the Rophemus family is a terrible curse that cuts lifespan along with magical power every day, but at the same time it is a blessing that can extend lifespan very easily and simply.
“You can live forever as long as you sacrifice a blood relative, but there is no way you can give up this power.”
But if you use too much medicine, it becomes poison.
The family curse has the enormous advantage of extending lifespan, but the condition is ‘killing a kin’.
“If the truth is revealed now that all the family members are cursed, they will try to kill each other, so our family line will be cut off and Lofiarmus will come to an end.”
Of course, if the lineage of the family is cut off, new sacrifices cannot be obtained and eternal life cannot be obtained, so from Doradel’s point of view, even if her own curse is left intact, the ‘family curse’ must be resolved somehow.
“So, the primary purpose is to remove the curse rooted in our family and make it prosperous, and the secondary purpose is to maintain my curse by recycling the dropouts or people who have reached the end of their lives in the process.”
In the end, the real reason why he was trying to get rid of the family curse was because of selfishness for himself from beginning to end.
Only when the family continues for a long time can you easily obtain the lineage of Lophemus, which will be the victim of the curse, and only then can you extend your lifespan infinitely.
“….”
“..”
It is a crazy idea that cannot exist without literally seeing one’s own relatives as cattle rather than people.
‘You trash bastard! Are you still human?’
yes! yes!
Kim Ho-jung hit the wall and shouted in great anger, but was unable to speak because he was still in the silence state.
Either way, Doradel held out her hand with a smile.
“How is it? If you help me, I will stop supporting alchemists and direct all of their manpower and support to dimension shift research.”
If Kang Seung-hyun cooperated, there would be no reason to join hands with the alchemists.
It would be easier and more convenient to extend lifespan if artificially producing Lophemus blood relatives, but the results were insignificant compared to the money and time spent.
“If you hold my hand, your lifespan will be extended by several hundred years, and your chances of returning to the home dimension will be much higher…” “
But. When was the purpose of me going home?”
Kang Seung-hyun, who had been listening to the story quietly, began to speak with a smile as if it was time to open his mouth.
“You are seriously mistaken. Because my ultimate goal isn’t that trivial.”
“No, if you are a dimension mover, returning to your home dimension is of course your long-cherished wish…” “
And how many hundreds of years of life extension? Even so, I have to take care of a senile old man like you? Will I choose to be crazy?”
“A senile old man’s help…?”
“Because I’ve already figured out how to get back home.”
Doradel must have been an ambitious proposal, but to Kang Seung-hyun, who was dealing with the manager, it was an unmatched garbage proposal.
“Even if I start playing now, I can go there in 10 years. what? hundreds of years? That’s what I’m proud of right now.”
It’s vicious that he deliberately listens to the other person’s story before stepping on it as if he waited.
“And if I can’t find a way to go, I won’t hold hands with you.”
In fact, Kang Seung-hyun was also a human similar to Doradel, as he used it sparingly, whether it was his family or others.
However, if there is a decisive difference, it is that they are filled with inferiority to the bone, which hates to look down on the people below them and treat them insignificantly.
“Because I do the same thing as the old man I hate the most.”
“Whoa… even though I said this.”
Doradel sighed.
It was like a grandfather who was tired of his grandson who didn’t listen.
“What are you going to kill?”
“Can it be? You are a precious benefactor who will lift the family curse.”
Whoop Whoop!
As Doradell stretched out her hand, several huge magic circles began to be drawn around the severely distorted space.
“It’s good to scold a child for making a mistake, but it’s also important to give yourself time to reflect on your mistakes.”
Doradell was talking about something, but Kang Seung-hyun ignored the words and moved his gaze toward the magic circle.
‘I don’t know much about magic… but it’s a top-notch sealing magic circle.’
Kang Seung-hyun’s ability is his ability, so he won’t kill him, but if he refuses, he will seal the entire space and keep him locked up until he agrees.
Normally, it is not easy magic, but if you narrow the scope with space distortion and use the magical power drawn from the mage tower, it will be easy to spread.
“I will wait for an answer slowly. I have a lot of time.”
It was the moment Doradel was about to deploy the sealing magic.
“No, there won’t be.”
Quack!
“Gagging!”
Suddenly, a translucent hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Doradel’s neck tightly.
Dig!
As a result, the magic circle drawn around Kang Seung-hyeon was canceled as he was unable to memorize the sealing spell.
‘What the hell is this?’
Doradel looked at Kang Seung-hyun with a hard face.
Beyond the distorted space, Kang Seung-hyun was smiling with a relaxed face.
‘What tricks did you play? No matter how sudden the attack, I can’t even notice it…’
Let alone using defensive magic, I didn’t even recognize the existence until it touched my body.
Even now, Doradel had a very thin barrier covering her entire body, and she had penetrated even that.
‘Definitely, Kang Seung-hyun must be trapped in a distorted space!
In fact, there is nothing different from an attack beyond the dimension.
“What the hell have you done!”
“Suddenly, but a question. What is the difference between space distortion and space cutting?”
If you were a normal person, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? You’ll shout,
“…spatial distortion is a state in which you can see but cannot enter, like a dented iron door, and space cutting is like a broken train car, so you can’t see and approach it because it doesn’t exist at all.”
The Mage Tower Master was once a professor as well.
Doradel answered without realizing it due to his unique occupational disease.
“yes. So space cutting can block pretty much anything, but space warping can’t prevent things from being unaffected by warped space.”
In other words, beings without physical substance can break through space distortion.
“If there is no substance, no matter how twisted and distorted the space is, you will be able to pass it by like a liquid whose shape changes depending on the container it is placed in.”
“Is that this skill…”
“I’ll tell you the name. It’s called [Ho: Ruth’s Hand].”
Since [Ho: Ruth’s Hand] is an insubstantial skill until it exerts physical influence on the opponent, it can damage the main body while ignoring not only space distortion but also Doradel’s defense.
“It’s quite good… It’s better than most Mage Tower students. If only he had full mana, he would have excelled as a wizard.”
“Because wizards aren’t my taste.”
“But the point is… you’re still in a situation where you can’t get out of there.”
Doradel said with a smile as if showing composure even while being strangled by [Ho: Ruth’s Hand].
“It would be possible if you killed me with this, but wouldn’t it be faster for me to break this grip?”
“What are you bothering about? There is a faster way than that.”
“A faster way?”
“Doradel-sama is taking care of canceling the space distortion.”
Fire!
As soon as those words were finished, [Ho: Ruth’s hand] began to pull Doradel’s body toward Kang Seung-hyeon.
“If you want to live.”
“…!”
For an ordinary person to approach a distorted space is practically no different than forcibly putting oneself into a crumpled box.
Even magic casters are no exception.
“If it’s a box made of paper, the box will tear and end, but if it’s made of metal, it’s not the box that’s going to tear, but the body, right?”
It wouldn’t be necessary to say what would happen if the whole body was thrown into the distorted space like this.
“This bastard!”
Ugh!
Doradel even used magic to resist being dragged away, but said,
“Mr. Kim Ho-jung and Ms. Lee Ji-ah! You can break it with that veil determination weapon.”
Kang Seung-hyun did not just watch it.
“what? The resolution weapon is divine and works only against dark magic…” “
I will explain it later, so please come out quickly and kick this unlucky bastard.”
‘I’m not sure, but okay!’
“Well, what’s the point of an explanation? That’s it!”
Kwaaaa!!!
The two of them swung their weapons of determination and broke the tent and ran out.
“Die inspiration!”
‘Quickly take Mr. Kang out!’
grasp!
Then the two of them kicked each other, kicking Doradel’s body towards the distorted space.
