I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines

Episode 57. Kali (3)

A heterogeneous and huge sphere rising within the dungeon.

On one side of the sphere, which is smooth like a mirror and reflects all light,

“Open! Open!!!”

There was blood all over it.

In the meantime, Eugene’s fists did not stop.

The fist with the power to split even a huge rock continued to explode.

I don’t care at all even if my skin is torn and my fingers are broken.

‘It reflects all the shock…’

Alicia watched the scene in silence and clicked her tongue.

It is a protective shield that returns all impacts in the opposite direction.

This means that there is no way to destroy it with physical force.

However, Eugene, who was constantly pounding on the indestructible protective shield, did not seem foolish.

Because Mijeong is trapped inside.

Because I have been watching what Mi-jeong is to Eugene, I felt like I knew a little bit about how Eugene was feeling right now.

“Calm down. Hitting him will only hurt your hand.”

“Let go of this. Let go of this.”

“Please, calm down. Now is the time to preserve your strength.”

“Haa…”

Alicia jumped down from the ceiling, using wind magic to slow her down and land.

She then hurriedly hugged Eugene’s waist and stopped him.

Someone had to stop him.

Otherwise, Eugene would have been beaten until his hands and feet were broken and his head was broken.

-It is not a barrier, nor a barrier. That’s odd. I can’t find a way to break it. I’m sorry, Humans.-

“······.”

Alicia could not bear to say anything, but she felt the same as Ifrit.

She had no way of knowing the identity of this sphere.

An object that seems to have come from another world.

Without knowing its identity, it seemed even more impossible to destroy it.

Mijeong is going to die.

No, maybe he is already dead.

“Ah…”

Eujin, who had a dejected expression on his face, puts his hand on the sphere.

He raises his tattered hand to the blood-covered mirror.

It’s painful to see Eugene’s unfocused eyes.

I feel like I can see Mijeong in those eyes, and it makes me feel tired too.

Alicia turned her head as she felt that way.

‘You cherished it so much…’

They said it was an object.

I heard that since I bought it cheaply, I can throw it away without any hesitation.

It was a lie.

A lie that deceived even oneself.

‘Now it’s wrong. I have no choice but to take revenge.’

You must not lose your mind.

Carly is also trapped in there.

This sphere will not last forever.

Once the protective shield disappears, you must attack and kill them.

I have to avenge Mijeong.

So, just as I was about to talk to Eugene to come to her senses.

“······.”

Focus returns to Eugene’s eyes.

Her eyes look strong, as if she has decided on something.

Without a word, he picked up the ring that had fallen on the ground and put it on the finger that already had a ring on it.

Then he placed his bloody hand on the sphere again.

“What, what are you doing?”

“You can’t break this with physical strength. But telekinesis will do.”

“Yes?”

“Telekinesis is not a magic that gives strength to an object, but a magic that moves an object. As long as you have enough magical power, you can move anything.”

“That’s…”

That is unreasonable.

Alicia’s mouth, which she was about to say, gradually closed.

Definitely, it wasn’t wrong.

Telekinetic magic is not magic that applies physical force to an object.

It is a magic that directly involves and moves the object itself.

But that is only a basic story.

The principle of moving an object by telekinesis is actually to move and push substances that tend to interfere, such as the air around the object.

Most of the power comes from there.

The heavier and more complex the object, the closer to impossible it becomes to interfere with it through telekinesis.

“Phew…”

But Eugene didn’t care about that at all.

It was none of his business what the odds were.

If there was even a speck of possibility, there was no reason not to do it.

“Ifrit. Please do me a favor.”

With the help of the magic stone, magic control is activated.

All the magical power in the body gathered into Eugene’s heart.

In an instant, magical energy spread throughout the body and began to flow rapidly.

In the illusion of being alone in this world.

Eugene handled his magic with peak concentration.

I felt like I could feel every single drop of magical power.

“Help me one last time.”

Yeomdong.

This is a magic that was successful only once.

That was the first and last time.

Eujin didn’t even know how he cast it.

I just had a wish to overcome this situation, and before I knew it, it was manifesting itself in the form of telekinetic magic.

Even then, it was possible to activate it purely thanks to the help of the Great Spirit.

At least, Eugene believed that.

-Impossible-

“······.”

The moment Ifrit’s firm answer came back.

Eugene closed his eyes tightly.

I was more desperate than ever.

But he couldn’t give up just because he was rejected.

I maintained my concentration without breaking it in the slightest.

The speed of the flow has become so strong that it has become difficult to properly control, and the magic power has been held and prepared to be released.

Just once.

Once released, all magical power is used up and it is over.

If you don’t succeed this time, there will be no next time.

-I didn’t provide any help at that time. Even now there is nothing to help-

“What?”

The moment Ifrit answered belatedly.

I almost lost my concentration.

Eujin was so dumbfounded that he forgot what to say.

I can’t believe there was no help.

When the magic stone touched his chest.

Are you saying that Ifrit wasn’t playing a trick at that time?

‘That was entirely my power?’

It was an unbelievable sound.

No matter how hard I tried to use telekinesis after that, I couldn’t use it a second time.

“Ah!”

But Eugene soon understood.

The essence of magic is to strongly recall the necessary image and bring about the result through magical power.

If impurities such as other emotions are mixed in, the performance deteriorates significantly.

That is why meditation and mind control are important in magical training.

We are asked to suppress our emotions and become monsters with only reason remaining.

The failure despite countless attempts is not for any other reason.

There were too many emotions.

Through numerous episodes, there were always mixed emotions.

It was nearly impossible to erase those complex emotions.

Yujin seemed calm and genuine at first glance, but inside he was dizzy.

I had to sort out all these emotions.

Only then could Eugene use magic.

‘At that time, after crossing the border of death, did my emotions become empty?’

Once I realized that, what I had to do became clear.

Empty your emotions.

Empty your head and take control of your mind in the truest sense.

It was not enough to easily control mana.

It was far from enough.

I had to get rid of everything, even those that had sunk into my unconsciousness.

And there was no one who could help.

It was something Eugene had to do alone.

‘Is this possible?’

It is a life that repeats the same days and years 12 times.

No matter who I see or where I go, 12 different memories come back to me.

Good and bad memories come back to life at the same time, and conflicting emotions spread at the same time.

All affection and hatred were love and hate, and all suffering and joy were pleasure.

It was as if all my emotions were tied together and combined into one.

I had to remove them all.

Everything, including things that have sunk into the unconscious.

It was close to impossible.

“You can do it!”

In other words, it wasn’t impossible.

Eujin’s will clashed.

It was such a short moment that I didn’t even notice it.

Except for the earnestness of saving Mi-jeong.

All emotions swirl and disappear.

And at the same time…

“Huh?!”

Kugugugugu!

A sphere that cannot be hit.

The sphere that was supposed to repel all physical forces began to crack.

Wow!

And like a lie.

The sphere broke and a hole opened.

The inside was illuminated and Mijeong’s face was revealed.

It seemed as if faint emotions were showing from that always expressionless face.

“······Eugene?”

“Don’t touch my things.”

Eujin gritted his teeth and muttered.

I have never been this angry before.

If Mijeong had died, she might have been so angry that she lost her senses by now.

Because he was alive, he was able to suppress his anger to this extent.

-How do you make heavenly armor plates…! Ouch!-

Eugene’s body flew like lightning, pinning Kali’s body to the floor.

Eujin’s body was already experiencing magical exhaustion.

However, after overcoming the pain of muscle spasms.

Forcing the body that refused to move, I thrust out the dagger.

-Ah! Ahhh! You can’t die like this! I can’t die like this!!!-

“You know it’s a dog’s death. Die. You bastard.”

Quad.

Weaknesses that can be seen through the characteristics.

A dagger was thrust into the venom sac inside the body.

-aaah!!!-

And then a deathly scream rang out for a moment.

Carly’s movements, which had been clattering and struggling on her sharp legs, stopped.

Soon, the demonic energy that escaped from Kali’s body gathered in the air, formed a black sphere, and fell with a thump.

It was the end.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It was the moment when Kali, the druid who was trying to take over the World Tree and bring about disaster, was killed by a mere human.

“······Eugene.”

Yujin turns around, pulling out a dagger at the sound of a weak voice.

There was a pale-faced girl sitting there, her legs weakened.

Mi-jeong crawls with her legs still weak, not caring about hurting her knees.

As Eugene approaches in response, Mi-jeong is suddenly hugged.

“······Eugene. Eugene, Eugene!”

“You told me to take off my ring and die, but did you really take it off? That’s foolish.”

“······I’m sorry.”

“Why are you sorry? It’s my fault for giving the wrong order. I didn’t know you could listen so well. Then, here’s your order again. Listen carefully.”

“······Yes.”

“Never die. It’s an order.”

“······Yes! No, die! Leave Eugene alone, never die!”

With her face buried in Eugene’s chest.

Mijung answered while sobbing.

I cried without tears and rubbed my face on Eugene’s chest.

It seemed like she wouldn’t be able to get rid of her undecided feelings easily.
