Chapter 116: Room 107 – The Gate Room, The Second Trial (7)

– Han Kain

Consumer: Han Kain (Knowledge)

Date: Day 38

Present Location: Ground 1, Room 107 (Gate Room)

Sage’s Recommendation: 3

Arima’s “therapy” started.

“Arghhh!”

“Please, please save me!”

“Let go. Maintain him down!”

“…”

We had been speechless on the horrific “therapy.”

Arima ordered her guards to carry the slaves down, then skinned them alive and connected their pores and skin to Jinchul-hyung’s physique.

At first, Songee was so shocked she instantly commanded Luca—sure, in that quick time, she named the two-headed wolf Luca—to assault the witch.

Had I not intervened instantly, a battle would have damaged out.

Arima appeared to take pleasure in our alarmed reactions.

Songee couldn’t comprise her anger.

“What is that this? How can this be thought of therapy? We have to—”

Kim Mooksung: Yu Songee! Use the chat!

Since Grandpa’s “Communication” was enhanced, the character restrict within the chat has considerably elevated.

In conditions like this, the place reckless dialogue would possibly make us appear weak, it was very helpful.

Yu Songee: Shouldn’t we cease this proper now?

Kim Ahri: Relax. Contemplating the witch’s skills, this type of therapy was anticipated.

Kim Mooksung: It’s grotesque, however saving Jinchul is extra vital.

Yu Songee: However doing it this manner?

…It had been some time since I felt the hole between the Administration group and the remainder of us.

The Administration group, used to brutal and grotesque scenes, judged strictly based mostly on practicality, whereas the remainder of us truthfully discovered it insufferable.

When Arima started skinning the slaves, I needed to avert my eyes.

Relax.

Suppose with a coronary heart as chilly as ice.

The Administration group’s judgment is right. What’s the purpose in dwelling on cruelty now?

We’ve already killed numerous NPCs contained in the Cursed Room to outlive.

Saving Jinchul-hyung is way extra vital.

The therapy lasted about half-hour.

Because the screams of the skinned slaves subsided, Jinchul-hyung’s pores and skin began trying extra human.

There’s no have to match blood varieties or immunosuppressants—simply slap any ol’ slave’s pores and skin on and it’ll be a-OK.

Any physician can be flabbergasted.

After all, in a world the place magic existed, docs can be pointless.

I approached Arima.

“His pores and skin seems to be significantly better. When will he get up?”

“That’s less than me.”

“…”

“I don’t know what made his physique so twisted, however even his inside organs are in disarray. It’s a miracle he’s nonetheless alive. However, after all, therapy is feasible…”

She trailed off, giving me a realizing smile.

She didn’t say it outright, however I understood.

If I needed extra intensive therapy, I’d have to show her magic.

Now the true sport begins.

I gestured for Ahri to return over.

Arima requested curiously.

“Who is that this? Fairly a lovely girl.”

“She’s my most gifted disciple. She’ll be supplying you with a lecture within the Arcane, so it’s best to a minimum of greet her.”

Arima’s expression instantly hardened.

“I assumed I’d be studying instantly from you, Mage Han?”

Sorry, however I’ve no data to share.

I smirked dismissively.

“…What’s the which means of this?”

“Phrases carry energy! Do you consider your self to be an equal to me as a result of I converse so properly? You possibly can’t even deal with a single letter I write.”

“What are you—”

With out hesitation, I summoned the Grimoire and opened it barely.

As anticipated of a witch, regardless of intentionally opening it slowly, she averted her gaze right away, sensing the approaching hazard.

I modified the lecture subject barely.

“What do you consider ‘Fortune’, Girl Arima?”

“What? How does that relate to the Arcane?”

“It is vitally associated. Widespread individuals consider fortune or luck as one thing mandated by the heavens. They see it as a destiny past themselves, and one thing they need to willingly settle for. However are we frequent individuals? Do you plan to stay in such a fashion, Girl Arima?”

“No! I walked this path to transcend an earthly destiny. I do know what individuals name us—devils, witches. Hunters and monks often come to kill me. However I couldn’t cease. I didn’t need to stay an earthly life. I need to be like a star within the sky. If I can grasp even part of the world’s hidden secrets and techniques—”

Her response was intense.

Did my earlier nonsense lecture actually give her some enlightenment?

I merely requested if she needed to stay an atypical life, however she had an enormous emotional response and passionately shared her goals.

I continued the dialog, a bit flustered.

“Listening to Girl Arima’s story, I bear in mind once I first began exploring the Arcane 80 years in the past. Each mage’s starting is humble.”

Kim Mooksung: Oh nice, you’re pretending to be a hundred-year-old mage now?

“Again to the subject of luck. Luck is about perception! Dwelling no doubt, having religion in life, and having self-confidence. I act, so the world follows. Let go of the notion that luck leads a person for it’s a person that leads luck.”

Seungyub!

As deliberate,

Seungyub approached. He casually tossed a die.

Naturally, it confirmed a 6.

Gaining confidence, Seungyub began a extra entertaining present.

He pulled out a deck of playing cards, shuffled them, and flicked a card at Arima’s chest.

Stunned, Arima pulled it out and located a Queen.

Seungyub nonchalantly drew one other card and handed it to me.

I flipped it to disclose a King.

Even realizing about his Blessing, this was spectacular.

We may dominate a playing den at this charge.

Arima’s eyes widened as she alternated between taking a look at Seungyub and me.

“Is that this one thing that may be realized too?”

Time to tug again a bit.

“That is troublesome. It’s closely influenced by innate expertise. I simply needed to point out you a few of the potentialities of magic.”

You possibly can’t do that with no Blessing.

“I’ve by no means met anybody such as you, Instructor. Not even the Chief Mage of the Empire or the Magician King of the Jap Forest may possess such various powers.”

Does this world have an empire or a kingdom?

Are these areas absolutely applied?

With this stage of dialog, the day’s lecture ended.

Arima left the cabin earlier than daybreak.

After Arima left, I recalled the up to date situation content material from earlier.

Most of it was trivial, simply detailing our plans and that Arima would come to the cabin.

Nevertheless, one sentence induced vital concern.

The witch, who’s now one step nearer to depraved knowledge, arrives on the cabin with nice goals.

The latter half simply said she arrived on the cabin, however the first half was worrisome.

The witch who’s now one step nearer to depraved knowledge.

Did she actually achieve some perception from our nonsense?

I stepped outdoors for a stroll, pondering.

Severely, what if she’s actually gaining one thing?

I recalled Ahri’s phrases.

Venerable Wonhyo 1 achieved enlightenment by consuming from a cranium stuffed with water.

Isaac Newton had the inspiration for the regulation of gravity by watching an apple fall.

Enlightenment didn’t all the time come from advanced lectures from consultants.

A whole newbie wouldn’t achieve something from a falling apple or a cranium of stale water.

But when mentioned somebody has spent their life in search of depraved knowledge…?

A witch knocking on the door of evil fact would possibly solely want a small shift in perspective to make a leap ahead.

A foreboding feeling grew.

A rising villain*?*

An enemy rising stronger, whereas we hesitate as a result of treating an ally.

Is that this the core of this trial?

We should finish this tomorrow.

It’s clear that coping with the witch is extra vital than Jinchul-hyung’s therapy now.

One query remained.

If the witch has really gained some “enlightenment,” what precisely was she realizing?

It have to be a revelation so malevolent, it’s past a traditional individual’s /genesisforsaken
