Chapter 38 - Come to Think of It, I'm a Hero (6)

He had become a hero, so he finally stiffened his resolve to fight the Demon King.So what the hell was this?The Demon King was trying to change humans into demons?Artpe wanted to farm in the human world at a later date.It would be a problem if the human world was turned into the demon world!He wouldn’t forgive anyone who attempted to pour cold water on Artpe’s retirement plan.

Artpe’s burning will was infused into the Mana Strings, and they burrowed into her body.From the beginning, Artpe hadn’t planned on stopping the change entirely.A complete reversal of the change was impossible.Such tasks were in the territory of the gods.

The only thing he could do was influence the direction of the change.Yes, it was the same as when he made the changes to the Record Link inside the Dungeon.

‘I just have to prevent her from becoming a demon.She also has to have control over herself.I have to protect these two things.It is a must.’

Artpe used all the experience he gained from his past life as he tuned her with his Mana Strings.The Mana Strings infused with the power of the Read All Creation ability continuously moved in a subtle manner to suppress the changes caused by the Mana, and the Mana was directed towards a different direction.

Whether it was his life as a demon or a human hero, his Innate Ability had always been with him.It was really ironic that these these two vastly different experiences was of help when dealing with this problem.

He now had extensive knowledge about demons and humans.His knowledge allowed him to combine the Mana String and the Read All Creation ability.It gave him the ability to open a new path for the Mana within Sienna’s body.

“Ah.Ah-ooh-ooh-ahhhhhh.”

“Can you hear me, Sienna?You have to resist against the impulse to fight the flow of Mana.You have to concentrate, and you have to be clear in your thoughts.You can’t be swayed by your impulse.”

Artpe kept talking to Sienna, who was groaning from the pain she was feeling.He continued to manipulate his Mana Strings.

In some aspects, he had to concentrate harder than the time when he had absorbed all the curse in this communal space at once.However, he was fueled by his anger towards the Demon King, and an urgent need to prevent Maetel from becoming wounded by this incident.There were multiple factors driving him forward, so this task was really nothing to him.

“Sienna, Sienna!”

“Stay still, Aena. I also feel restless, but….If we interfere with Artpe right now, Sienna will be in big trouble.”

“Ooh ooh ooh······!”

Maetel had calmed down thanks to Artpe, so she was able to hold back the agitated Aena.Shegathered the children to one side.

Even if they had been freed from the curse, they hadn’t bathed since arriving here.Moreover,they hadn’t been fed.The state of their health was a mess.If she wanted their bodies to feel the least amount of stress, she would have to send them outside the Dungeon.

“Noonah, I’m hungry.”

“I’m cold.I’m scared.Who is that hyung?Is he on the same side as the ajusshi?Will we turn out weird like her?”

“No, everything is fine.You will all be better soon.”

Maetel was still a child.She was at an age where she should be under the protection of adults.However, she didn’t hesitate to take care of children who were of similar age as her.In fact, she took care of kids that were older than her.

‘I’m tired.I’m tired and exhausted.I want to rest.’

She glanced at the cowering children, then she turned to look at Artpe.He was using an incomprehensibly complex magic to save the last child.

His eyes didn’t falter as brilliant Mana rose out of him.She was sure he was more tired than her, yet Artpe only thought about the task at hand.He did the impossible without hesitation.

‘All right.’

Maetel poured strength into her body as she stood up.If Artpe had seen her, she was sure he would have been happy at how she was handling herself.He would have praised her.This thought allowed her to wade through anything that was thrown her way..

‘A little bit more!Shit!A little bit more!’

Artpe was panting right now.The girl was floating in the air a little bit as she was continuously showing reaction to the Mana.

Her skin had turned black before, but now it was the opposite.She enough white enough to be called pale, and even her hair had turned into a peculiar milk-like color.In truth, the Mana reaction she was experiencing was large and fierce.It was an indication that the current situation was unstable.It felt as if the situation could run away from him, and she would go on a rampage.

“O...oppa.”

“Hold on.You can do this.”

When Artpe saw her, he realized the truth that this wasn’t just an adventure.This was why he couldn’t give up now.The girl labored as she opened her eyes to look at him.He gave her words of encouragement to lift her spirits, and he desperately guided her Mana.

‘The full sense of self that cannot be tampered.A body that isn’t sullied by the demonic energy.’

He dismantled the Mana that was causing changes to her record and structure.He destroyed the path laid in front of him as he promoted a new path.It was something impossible to do if he hadn’t possessed the Read All Creation ability and the Mana String.

He was using an Innate Ability and a Unique skill at the same time, so he was consuming an extreme amount of Mana.This was why he was having having a hard time breathing, and he felt dizzy.Still, he didn’t stop.

This wasn’t simply about saving a girl.The Demon King was trying some bullshit of a plan where he was trying to turn humans into demons.This was the first step in destroying the plan crafted by that petty and crafty coward!

The change that was turning Sienna into a demon had been occurring at a straightforward manner.The massive flow of Mana had been repeatedly moving forward before it gave way.Now that massive amount of Mana had come to a stop.It was a miracle.

“······oppa.”

Artpe’s eyes suddenly flew open.

Someone was grabbing onto the edge of his robe.He didn’t even have to look to know who it was.

“······you.”

The girl had opened her eyes, and she was looking at Artpe with a very faint smile on her face. Her Mana rushed towards the new path paved by Artpe.

Sienna had succeeding in learning the Mana Control!

[Sienna]

[Level : 1]

[Mana Control Lv1]

“So if I go this way….It’ll be fine?”

“Ha.When I read that you were an experiment success, I recognized…..”

It seemed this girl had some talent in dealing with Mana.Artpe smirked as he had this thought.Silpennon had to pay 210 gold to purchase the Mana Control skill book.He probably would have felt aggrieved if he knew about this.However, this was great news for Artpe.

At her sense of achievement, he gave her a toothy smile as he spoke to her.

“Yes, let’s try this together once.”

“Yes, oppa.”

Artpe showed her the way, and Sienna tried hard to follow him.As her Mana went further down the path, it was changing the density of her Mana and the light within her.Her body was also being affected by the Mana, so small changes started appearing once again.

In the end, this wasn’t a path that would end with her becoming a human.However, the path wouldn’t lead her down the path to becoming a demon either.Her free will as a human had been successfully preserved.The only thing left was for her to confront the curse that was trying to turn her into a demon.When she rejected it, she would become something new!

‘If this is successful, I pretty much have a thesis that would be a big hit in the human world and demon world….!’

However, it didn’t matter which side he revealed the information to.He couldn’t tell anyone about this, because he would become the enemy of the world.He felt aggrieved at the fact that he couldn’t reveal this information!

Artpe took out a Mana Potion, and he drank it.Then he added more fuel into controlling his Mana Strings.

He activated the Read All Creation to its limit.It revealed the path of the Mana within Sienna’s body to his eyes.He merged this path with the Mana Strings, and he sealed all the circuitry related to the demon race.Then he guided her Mana.

Her body writhed, and her hair became luminous.However, Artpe and Sienna no longer paid attention to such changes.Sienna was handling her Mana for the first time, and she was drunk on the experience.Pain couldn’t hold a candle to the joy of the Mana!
