Chapter 70: Finally a Tutorial (12)

The atrew heavy, and everyone became too stunned to speak They were shocked by the serious implications of her words

“What do you mean…?” Eshnunna stood completely still, and her face was pale as she stuttered, “Why suddenly…I don’t understand…”

“…Did you say that he vomited black blood?” Zelit also broke away from his stillness and spoke

“Yes Ru Hiana said she just saw him” Ru Amuh turned to ask Ru Hiana for confirans, especially his heart, are not functioning correctly,” Zelit said Both Ru Hiana and Eshnunna held their breaths and turned to Zelit as he continued, “I had ”

“What do youI expected so like this to happen,” Zelit said sharply and looked at Ru Aht?”

“Yes I confirmed this with Goddess Shahnaz just in case, and the only heroes who had awakened their powers arehis head low and let out a long sigh

“Yes, that’s probably why…” Ru A?” Eshnunna looked at the two back and forth and exclaiative “What are you guys talking about?! Tell me so I’ll understand!”

“…Think about it,” Zelit said weakly “We all lost our poe came to Liber Besides our trained physique and honed basic skills, we are no different frohable to call them heroes since any ordinary person could train their bodies and learn swordsmanshi+p like them “But you knoas different even after he lost his powers as a hero He was able to defeat enemies that ordinary people couldn’t handle at all on many occasions, and he’d done the same recently” When he went to save Ru Amuh and later the recruits in the ranch, Chi-Woo had defeated ene Further to the fortress, Chi-Woo had acco a lich in one blow His condition had worsened after displaying such competence thrice; that couldn’t have been mere coincidences

“So what? He’s still a hero He can have inherent skills,” Ru Hiana said

“Even if he has an innate skill, it doesn’t et that Liber is pretty much a dead World?”

Ru Hiana immediately closed her mouth

“The only way an inherent skill can properly work in another World is through the World’s permission and support”

The best exarew up in, Allen’s inherent ability had been [Nature’s Blessing], and its rank had been A++ Coer had the permission and support of a World, and as a result, his ability degraded to a F-rank [Trees’ and Grasses’ Blessing] Not only did the scope of the blessing decrease, the rank of the ability had seen a drastic drop

“Having an inherent ability doesn’t free someone of this rule Only Gods may be exempted from the law of the World that applies across the planet” That was right There was no way for even an i to overthrow the rule of the universe, let alone a mortal

Still, everyone in this room knew Chi-Woo as a hero who could be considered top-tier ae they perceived Chi-Woo to have, even if Chi-Woo couldn’t completely overthrow the laws of this World, he could distort thehtly Of course, that must have co punishe to the natural trajectory of Liber What could Chi-Woo possibly offer to use a power that wasn’t permitted in this world? There was only one possibility

“Life force” If he didn’t havehe could use to supple ability they had all witnessed from Chi-Woo When Ru Hiana heard the explanation, she realized what Zelit was trying to tell her

“…No” But she couldn’t accept it immediately She wanted to deny it “There’s no way Senior couldn’t have been using his life force to…” Ru Hiana couldn’t finish her sentence, because in her head, she had already understood

“In tier, one can exhaust their life force to increase their powers momentarily and overcome their current limits Even if it’s taboo and much less known, it’s not exactly an uncommon practice in all worlds Furthers to spiritual abilities, but he also seeeable in the field” And thus, Zelit concluded that Chi-Woo must also know a spell to use his own life force for specific h he wished for the speculation to be wrong with all his being, Ru Amuh’s heart sank since his and Zelit’s conclusions were exactly aligned On the other hand, Ru Hiana couldn’t close her gaping mouth and recalled a conversation she had with Chi-Woo That time, she had asked Chi-Woo what the yellow papers he carried were, how he brought them to this place, and what their purposes were

[A talisanyone can just ? Ah, this is blood Blood]

At that tiusted by the fact that the paper’s writings were made with blood Zelit’s speculation put the conversation in a new light She hadn’t thought about the possibility that the blood could have been Chi-Woo’s Talis fit perfectly With all these things in er deny Zelit’s claiht she nohy Chi-Woo’s shouting had rung through her heart the day they attacked the ranch It made sense if Chi-Woo had placed his life on the line while battling the broken ones

“Ah…” Suddenly feeling dizzy, Eshnunna staggered Ru Hiana also felt weak in her knees and collapsed to the ground If she had known the truth beforehand, she would’ve stopped hi Thus, she felt even norance She tried to iine what Chi-Woo must have felt every time he used his powers…

“I’ht it was the only way,” Zelit said in a low voice, “Yet…still…” Zelit continued as his whole face scrunched up like he was in pain “There’s a liood a person can be”

Now they realized that those who sacrificed themselves in the ritual weren’t the only ones who had offered the the same all this time They believed Chi-WooRu Amuh and Allen Leonard awaken their powers If they asked him why he had acted in this ive them the same answer he always did

“…Yeah, it’s because he’s a hero…” Zelit clutched his forehead and hung his head low Everyone fell silent

“We have to cancel our plan” Eshnunna soon broke the heavy silence “We can’t go on like this”

“But we can’t cancel it”

“Are you saying that we should proceed with it even after finding out about hi the plan will ht be able to delay or amend it, but we can’t cancel it”

“Then amend it You have to exclude him from the plan,” Eshnunna firmly stated

However, Zelit didn’t answer He chewed on his lip with his head lowered Eshnunna’s eyes narrowed

“Are you serious?” Eshnunna asked

“…There’s no other way,” Zelit spoke like the words pained him physically to utter “He…can’t be excluded…There’s no hero…who can take his…”

“Are you saying that with your right mind?” Eshnunna raised her voice immediately

“What do youabout now?”

Ru Amuh and Ru Hiana solemnly asked in unison However, Zelit and Eshnunna paid them no mind and continued with their conversation

“There’s no more time And there’s no other way!” Zelit also raised his voice “I' to force him I’ll ask him first Don’t worry I’ll be the one to ask!”

“That’s not the problem!”

Just like that, their conversation turned into a shouting match for quite a while

Chi-Woo finished his afternoon run and collapsed onto the ground with a delighted expression He liked this feeling the best When he lay down completely still and listened to the sound of his body, it felt like his whole body was beating As he listened to his pounding heart, he could sense keenly that blood was being vigorously transported throughout his body, and he felt as if he was beco healthier by the second He could now understand a little bit why people became addicted to exercise However, it was still difficult for hiroan and found an empty spot by the river to wash hioodhis meal, he suddenly heard a notification

‘What happened?’ Chi-Woo read thethe food in his one up again, and it had skyrocketed to an astounding 97 Chi-Woo roughly scanned the e; to summarize, Ru Amuh now considered Chi-Woo a peerless hero and respected hi Chi-Woo told hieous to him, but Chi-Woo was surprised it had happened when he wasn’t doing anything but eating alone It hadn’t happened like this when Ru Amuh’s trust for him deepened the last time
