Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 216

Episode 216. Return to Nature

Ugh.

Once, I felt blood flowing backwards.

At the same time, I felt the mana flowing continuously through the mana blood.

I tried to suppress it by somehow recalling the 'method of mana usage', but it was not easy.

'Magido… is mixed in?'

Currently, magic energy was flowing through my 'mana blood'.

The reason was unclear. Even though he had taken 'Angelica' into his body, there was no 'magic' flowing into his 'mana blood'.

'Calm down.'

Even though it is a 'vessel', it can be dangerous for the 'mana blood' to be directly seething with 'magic energy' as long as it has a human body.

Don't you still feel like there's a volcano boiling inside you?

“Euuuuuuuuuuuu……!”

I pushed aside the pain that made me feel like I was going to lose consciousness and slowly turned my gaze to the 'Bell of the Night' that I had thrown onto the sink.

“Whatever……!”

If I could get my hands on the 'Bell of the Night', it would be that much easier to handle 'Magi'. With that one thought in mind, I tried to reach out somehow.

===

⇒ The power contained in the sacred relic, the “Bell of the Night”, has disappeared.

⇒ The sacred object, the “Bell of the Night,” has been destroyed.

===

The 'Bell of the Night' was turned to dust and disappeared.

'What is it…?'

Is it true that there are cases where a sacred object turns to dust and disappears like this?

In <Ji·Ma·Juk>, 'holy objects' are objects with powers that are far stronger than ordinary magical tools.

No, actually, comparing it to a 'magic tool' is strange in itself.

Holy relics are not in the realm of 'magic', but rather in the realm of 'miracles'. That's why things called 'holy relics' don't lose their power easily, and it's rare to see them break.

however.

'Why is it broken!?'

As the only way out of this painful situation disappeared, the pain began to become more pronounced.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh…….”

A horrible groan escaped his lips due to the excruciating pain.

A strange moan that wouldn't have come out if it had been 'Yurien'. However, it was possible because it was 'me' who was in pain.

'I have to go back… … !'

In that situation, the instinct to return home began to kick in.

It is possible to circulate the 'magic energy' that starts to build up in the danjeon in this place, but you may easily lose consciousness.

'Yurien has many enemies. If by chance, she gets attacked while she's unconscious.'

No, that's too rational a thought. Right now, only one thought comes to mind, mixed with Yurian's instincts.

'I avoid losing consciousness in the bathroom at all costs!'

With that single-minded determination.

I adjusted my clothes and headed towards the mansion.

In the midst of pain that felt like fainting, he insisted on a pathological smile.

***

As soon as I returned to the mansion, I went to the office and sat down cross-legged.

“Phew…….”

After that, I took a deep breath and started to focus on my danjeon.

'I feel a sense of uneasiness.'

It seems like there was a similar record in the past. At that time, it was when she absorbed the soul stone and took the demon into her body, although her name was 'Sombra'.

Back then, as now, the problem was that 'magic' was rampant.

'of course…….'

It's more dangerous now.

At that time, I was able to easily deal with it because I was absorbing the 'confusion' and was aware of its own risks.

One, not now.

Even in the 'Mana Blood', 'Magic Energy' was flowing, so it is no exaggeration to say that it was more dangerous.

“Phew…….”

Take a deep breath.

It is a process of clearing one's mind in order to avoid death as much as possible.

'I won't die.'

I can't die. How could I die after coming all this way?

In any case, compared to when I accepted 'Angelica', my understanding of 'Mana' and my acceptance of 'Magi' have both increased.

If we could just figure out a little bit about what was happening to my body, we could easily sort out the situation.

'What is it?'

I looked around my body from a third-person perspective as much as possible.

Pain, mana blood status, and mental state.

To put everything aside and find out the 'why' as quickly as possible.

'… Ugh?'

Fortunately, it wasn't that difficult to find the 'reason' for the pain. However, it was disconcerting.

'Angelica?'

The existence of the demon that had been growing inside her, 'Angelica', was gradually fading away.

Why?

'Angelica is seeping into the mana blood.'

If 'Magi' was seeping into my Mana Blood for external reasons, I would have noticed it, but since it was from the inside, and a demon that had become a 'trait' like 'Angelica' was seeping in, I couldn't help but notice.

'Was it because of this?'

It is a matter for later to find out why 'Angelica' suddenly became like this.

First, I focused on my danjeon and started activating all the mana points.

This is to expel all the energy that has seeped into the ‘mana blood’ to the outside.

“Ssup…….”

It is actually dangerous to divert all the mana contained in the 'Mana Blood' to the outside.

If you're not careful, your 'mana blood' could get distorted, and emptying your 'mana' also means you won't be able to use your 'aura' for a while.

"ha."

Still, I started to turn all my energy outward.

Living comes first.

Shh …

The sound of a kettle boiling.

At the same time, a bluish mana vapor emitted from my body.

'Ugh.'

As the 'mana' drained away, I felt helpless. However, I had to concentrate more in times like this.

In this situation, if you lose focus, you won't be able to send out 'Angelica' and you'll only get a backlash from 'Mana Release'.

'Ugh… … .'

Even strong pain is temporary.

Now the bluish vapor that had been flowing out of my body began to turn black.

'Angelica', who had permeated 'Manablood', is slowly coming out.

'Okay.'

Just a little more.

After using her power and exhausting her 'mana blood', 'Angelica' turned into a black cloud and began to cover the ceiling of the office.

Kick, kick.

In 'Black Cloud', pupils began to appear. These eyes were like a sign that she was 'Angelica'.

“Please come down.”

Looking at those eyes, I opened my mouth quietly.

Normally, I wouldn't have said that, but I guess I was a little annoyed by the pain.

'You won't listen.'

'Angelica' says that it is more effective to speak persuasively rather than harshly.

Iron fist!

Contrary to my thoughts, 'Angelica' began to sink to the ground and clump together.

As if watching me closely, several sets of eyes were glancing at me.

“……Why are you doing that?”

He's usually a playful guy, but he's acting passively. I wonder if it's because he's angry.

No, I'm a little embarrassed that this guy, who used to smile even when he was angry, is like this.

"huh?"

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that Angelica's condition was strange. Pieces of her body were pointed towards me.

It's like holding a magnet to iron filings.

'My body is attracting Angelica.'

It's not a matter of simply accepting it as a 'characteristic'. Regardless of 'Angelica's' will, my body is calling out to him.

Just like when the 'Mashinseong' absorbed the demon's power.

"no way."

I turned my gaze to Angelica.

“When you were absorbed into the Demonic Spirit, did you take some of its abilities with you?”

The holy relic called 'Mashinseong' is said to be able to collect 'demons' because it contains 'residual thoughts' that are most similar to 'Mashin Barbatos'.

If that's the principle.

'If the Demon God absorbs a demon with a stronger residual thought, the Demon God will be absorbed instead.'

Of course, there is no demon that can go against the power of the 'Mashinseong'. The 'remnant thoughts' of the holy relic are of a level that cannot be ignored.

'I see.'

Perhaps the sacred relic 'Bell of the Night' that was placed in Angelica's care has gained power.

The 'Bell of the Night' had a strong repulsion to 'potential thoughts', and it seems that the 'Mashinsung', whose power was weakened because of that, was being absorbed by 'Angelica'.

The 'Jeongya Bell' that had exhausted all its strength there was reduced to dust.

'The reason Angelica was able to escape was not because the swordsman had freed her.'

It was what the 'Mashinseong' spat out before all of his power was taken away.

“Is that right?”

Just in case, I asked Angelica if my guess was correct.

The guy just blinks without answering.

What would you know?

'So that's why Angelica was seeping into my mana blood.'

The trait I have, “Master of the Vessel,” gives me an advantage over sacred items related to the “Mashin.” It seems that the fragments of the Mashin nature that resided in “Angelica’s” body were being absorbed because of that.

'It's terrible?'

If I hadn't dealt with it properly, I might have just died.

Anyway, now that I know the reason, it's okay.

"hmm."

But even though we know the reason, there is still no solution.

Since my body is a 'vessel' and Angelica has become a 'holy relic of the demon', it may be difficult to live like before.

'… …Should I kill him?'

A demon with abilities that are almost like a 'holy relic'. It would not be wise for a human to leave this alone.

The problem is that even though such rational judgments can be made, there is no sign of them being translated into action.

'I thought I was a pretty rational guy.'

Well, if he was a rational person, he would have been abandoned by the monastery a long time ago.

“Leaving it like this might be a good idea.”

I thought that breaking up here would be one way.

Anyway, 'Angelica' became a demon that wasn't like a 'demon'.

They do not eat humans, and are trained to absorb mana from the air along with their regular meals.

Even if released into nature, it will not cause harm to humans.

'Is this a breakup?'

It was at that moment that I was thinking that.

'Angelica' is stretching and contracting her body repeatedly.

Some kind of protest. That's what it felt like.

“Do you hate breaking up?”

At my question, Angelica shook her body violently. The many eyes on his body were soaking wet.

'Hey, are you okay?'

Are you really crying?

Oh my.

It was so absurd I almost laughed.
