Chapter 361: Trash Elune (2)

I thought that that much was everything.

I couldn’t even imagine the assumption that there was a connection between the system-given class, Light Alchemist, and Elena.

‘It sounds so natural that I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this before. Who would have imagined this?’

Guardian of the legendary-grade Elune—the one and only high elf.

If I were to simply explain her with adjectives, I would fall short, but the weight of the names of high elf and god’s apostle was never to be taken lightly.

This was even more so when I considered that the high elves were born under the influence of the World Tree’s magic power.

In the first place, it was correct to think that the World Tree itself had the power of a semi-mythic grade. It had managed to keep the demon that had currently swallowed us to stay in this world, and it was busy covering the entire Eberian Kingdom.

Meanwhile, I had gotten influenced by Elune, who was in turn being influenced by the World Tree. Existence itself seemed to have plans for us.

In other words, she was the daughter of Elune, and the alter ego of Elune. No wonder I couldn’t imagine Elune turning over her precious daughter.

‘Who would’ve thought her to be this cold-hearted piece of sh*t?’

I already knew that transcendental beings were not perfect.

However, not only did she have the same mindset as me, but she was also the type to resort to such low actions. I wasn’t expecting that.

Now I just pitied Elena.

‘Cold-hearted trash.’

Of course, no matter what the circumstances were, they had nothing to do with me. Rather, I wanted to welcome this.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was only right to take it boldly if it was beneficial to me.

The transcendental being had also thrown in a gift in the hope that it would help Kim Hyunsung more, anyway. I still didn’t know what would happen in the future, but there must be a reason for all of these events.

One thing I learned from this incident was that there was not one creature in charge of the whole system.

Those who were called gods on the continent were likely looking down at us from above.

‘Elune, this garbage, can also affect the system.’

Of course, all of this only stemmed from my imagination.

The exact thing had not been decided yet, but one thing that I was certain of was that they were protecting both Kim Hyunsung and me.

It was only right to think that Elune would go so far as to even offer Elena to me.

‘Don’t help me with this. You could help me with the situation I’m in.’

Of course, my grievances burst out of frustration. In the context so far, I could assume that transcendental beings could not be greatly involved in human death or life.

I didn’t know if it was really impossible, but at least the fact that it imposed huge penalties was undeniable.

What I was certain about was that the transcendent existence did not want Kim Hyunsung and I getting split up. There was also a possibility that Elena would be the catalyst for the alchemy used by the Light Alchemist.

If the latter was true, then it was only right to scream.

As I continued to grin and look at Elena, I could see her face looking up at me, not understanding my expression.

She shivered for a second as if she felt something, but she still seemed to be in a good mood.

“Do you have anything you want to say?”

“I just remembered that you said you would help me.”

“Yes. Of course, I can help. I will do whatever I can.”

“It can be a little hard, but I’m not sure if it’s okay. It’s quite rude…”

“You don’t have to worry about it. If it’s anything I can do… I will do my best.”

I saw her nodding innocently. I knew she would never expect me to decide to use her for my study.

In fact, her consent was not important. If my guess was correct, then this wasn’t something I should try. It was something I had to do.

Still, it was more convenient to coax a little more. As the situation was like this, the depending on how well she would cooperate with me. I knew I had to get right to the point.

“I think I should take a look at Elena’s body.”

“What?”

It felt like time stopped for a moment.

I didn’t know what was going on, but since her face went as red as a beetroot, I knew I had to clear things up as quickly as I could. I made sure to only convey the core details as much as possible.

Throughout the explanation, Elena nodded and sometimes made exclamations.

It was impressive to see her continually nodding, but the fact that she had a stronger connection with me would indeed be a pleasing proposition to her.

“I understand what you said, Lee Kiyoung-nim. However, as to how to help with it, I don’t…”

‘That’s the problem.’

I couldn’t have her blood tested, or her clothes taken off from the beginning. The whole process was quite problematic.

Considering the time spent discovering and researching Dialugia’s catalyst, it was absurd to make a new kind of object here.

Naturally, the equipment and catalysts I had in my possession were also unimaginably poor.

Dragon’s Breath potion and Enhancement Serum were the products of assets created through numerous hypotheses and experiments.

Since there had been thousands of experiments with hundreds of alchemy kits, it had been possible to produce results in a short time.

‘Fuck… I am not a genius.’

It is impossible to produce results right away when there were insufficient resources.

It took decades to formulate a theory, and I didn’t know how much experimentation I could do.

Although Elena was next to me, the number of other catalysts that could support her was extremely scarce.

It was clear that all the materials I currently had would run out after four or five experimentations. I had to think of a different way.

It would be impossible to use Salit’s body as a catalyst. Gathering saliva would not do me any good, either.

[Salit’s Saliva (Semi-Mythic]]

[It is a material that cannot be used as a catalyst for alchemy.]

I did bring it just because, but it seemed that there were some conditions that needed to be met in order to use a semi-mythic grade monster as a catalyst.

Just as the Light Alchemist used high elf Elena as a catalyst, I might also need to obtain a specific class to use the catalyst.

‘Shall I just convert?’

Of course, I couldn’t even try because I didn’t know how to do it, and Han Sora wasn’t here. However, if it were Belial, perhaps he would respond to me.

I roughly memorized the magic circle, and the place where I was currently in was inside of Salit, so perhaps there was a possibility.

Elena’s reaction was a different issue altogether, however.

‘I think I can convince her, but… it’s a little wasteful to abandon the Light Alchemist…’

However, this was a risk I would be willing to take. It certainly seemed much more plausible to use a better means for survival instead of aimlessly wandering around.

I couldn’t just wait for Kim Hyunsung forever.

I understand that I can’t intervene recklessly, but at this point, I think there must be some action from above.

‘The more I think about these bastards, the more I think they’re being too much.’

I had dedicated my mind and body to the camp of the light, but what I got in return was only a semi-mythic-grade class.

How much did I pay for the offering as an Honorary Cardinal of the Goddess of Benignore? This thought passed through my mind. I bet it would not be an exaggeration to say that no one had ever sacrificed more than me.

‘That’s right. Right. Even if I think about it a hundred times, it’s true.’

What about the Laios case?

Although there was a slight crisis, the impact of the incident could not be fully expressed.

Not only did the miracles I showed on the whole continent got broadcasted, but statistically, the number of Benignore goddess worshippers had increased significantly.

No, the number had already gone through the roof.

Just as the demon raised results through contracts, if the sky’s existence was filled with the believers’ results, how much I had contributed to the church could not be expressed in words.

[I’m in the red, you sh*tty bastard. I’m in the red, and I’m out of business trying to settle the mess you’ve made… It’s complete chaos. (0/1)]

That wasn’t even everything. I had even made the Goddess Benignore seem like a democratic fighter. With the Goddess’ Mirror, praise songs for Goddess Benignore resonated all over the continent.

[Rare-grade forced quest is activated.]

[Are you nuts? Is that a feat? You don’t get the situation… (0/1)]

That wasn’t all.

Not only did I always assist Kim Hyunsung, but I was loyal with the momentum to even offer my life. I thought that if the price for that loyalty were barely this, it wouldn’t be bad to take Belial’s side instead…

[Rare-grade forced quest is activated.]

[It is taboo to intervene greatly in things on the ground. Let’s not do this. I understand you, but if it’s you… (0/1)]

It was too late. The seeds of bitterness had already been planted in my heart.

Now that a demon had eaten me, it was not a bad idea to convert my……

[Rare-grade forced quest is activated.]

[Hey, Kiyoung. Let’s not do this. Things are a little bad now. I don’t have any conditions either. It’s a situation where I use so much divine power that I have to borrow from here and there. I’ve already borrowed a lot, and it’s really impossible anymore. (0/1)]

I was on the verge of dying now. There were only five days left of food, and my legs were all swollen.

I thought that I would have the only glory being together with Kim Hyunsung, but this was indeed a very cold and hungry path to take. Now I could understand the feelings of those who had chosen to turn away from the Goddess.

Of course, I was not making a ridiculous request, like asking her to get me out of here. I already knew that it was impossible.

However, I never hoped to be put into a situation like this. Wasn’t it their job to put their loyal servants onto a more comfortable path?

One thing was for sure - Goddess Benignore had to take some pointers from Elune in terms of treating their favored ones.

‘You understand? There’ll be no such thing as a compromise.’

Upon seeing the system light up with the answer to my problem, I perked up once more.

This was my answer to faith.

‘Long live the Goddess Benignore.’

After all, heaven did not really throw out its believers. At that moment, my firm belief in the Goddess rose again.

Once again, my heart had begun to fill up with light.
