21 Magic Core (1/2)

Alicia looked at the rock shaped object in her hand that was about two times the size of her fist closely. ”What does a magic core do?”

”From what I know humans and demihumans can use it to craft weapons and demonic beast and dragons eat them to raise their strength since a magic core is solidified Magicules ” Loeri explained.

”Hmmm…. So does this thing taste good? ” Alicia used some water magic and washed the magic core off before putting it to her mouth and taking a small bite. She had thought that she would not be able to bite into it but surprisingly she was able to. Not only that but when it entered her mouth it completely melted in her mouth releasing all the Magicules into her body! The high concentration of Magicules that entered her body, rushed towards her Magi Sack. As the Magicules passed through her system Alicia felt great pain almost equivalent to what she had the first time started taking in Magicules. The amount of Maficules from just this one tiny bite of a magic core was ten times what her body could handle!

Loeri seeing the sight in front of her eyes widen. ”What are you doing! Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

Alicia was not able to say a word the pain she was feeling right now was much worse than a year ago. She was having troubles standing as her body swayed back and forth before losing her footing and started to fall. In her half-conscious state, she suddenly felt something warm embrace her.

”Alicia! Hang in there, try to control the Magicules! Do not let yourself faint!” Berlin's worried voice entered Alicia's ears.

Hearing the anxiety of his voice and the warmth of his embrace relaxed Alicia quite a bit. It was the feeling one would get from a father or mother. This feeling made Alicia remember her own parents. It made her remember the care and love they had given her as she was growing up. In her half-dazed state, Alicia whispered: ”Father, Mother, Akari is sorry. I am sorry that I died… Akari will live a fulfilling life in this new place...”

Berlin, who heard her words, was confused but he had no time to think of such things. ”Alicia! Do not pass out, you have to stay awake!”

Berlin's words once again entered her ear. It slightly snapped her out of her daze. She bit her lip hard, causing blood to flow. She wanted to concentrate some of the pain in her body to her lips. But the pain only lasted a second before the wound she had just caused healed instantly.

Seeing the instant healing gave Loeri an idea! ”Old man I have an idea on how to save her!”

Without waiting for Berlin to reply, Loeri went to work ruthlessly clawing and biting Alicia. Seeing this Berlin fell into a rage and fiercely smacked Loeri away as he roared out: ”What are you doing to my daughter!?”
