Chapter 26: Mystic Land (part 5)

As we were going back I told both of them my experience, grandpa Gram shrugged and said that there was no such thing as a resting giant, while Barachiel also agreed with grandpa Gram, there's no time to ponder on such I'll investigate it when I become stronger.

When we entered the village everyone happily greeted upon their return.

[Rai... what happened to the sword you borrowed?]

I looked at her remembered the sword's tip has been damaged and is practically gone, I pulled it out of the sheathing it was indeed damaged.

"Uriel is gonna kill me."

[Well... good luck on that]

I sighed as shivers ran down my spine, everyone now in the village was happy now that the rats are gone, while there I played with kids for a little before going back to the altar.

"When you come back play with us again!"

"Thanks for helping the village."

"Come, back soon!"

I waved goodbye as light surrounded us, inside it was already night we were greeted by Uriel as she was patrolling.

[Rai, Barachiel welcome back, and Rai my sword]

I sweated vigorously and swear in my thoughts, I hand over the sword and Uriel gave a dangerous smile. Barachiel held me tight and flapped her wings flying back to her house.

[Ah, goodnight elder sister Uriel!]

[Come back here!!]

"See, you tomorrow Uriel!."

Once we entered the house Barachiel quickly locked the door, she sighed in relief and said.

[Good night Rai, and good luck tomorrow]

I gulped and was afraid of what Uriel will do for tomorrow, but I have something else to worry about, I quickly head to my room to change and laid on the bed. I checked the screen and it switched to Yoon Yong-Il.

***

Yoon Yong-Il coughed out a handful of blood as she opened her eyes, she could feel something heavy on her chest, she could see Cho Myeong-Suk was sobbing none stop as her clothes were wet from her blood she couldn't feel the tears fall.

"Myeong-Suk-ah... I'm alive see."

Cho Myeong-Suk lifted her face to see that her only friend was not dead but alive, albeit extremely injured.

"Unnie, *sob* I thought *sniff* you were gone!"

"Do you think that'll be enough to do me in?"

Cho Myeong-Suk nodded slowly as she was healing the injured woman, it damaged Yoon Yong-Il's pride a little though it didn't affect her that much, Yoon Yong-Il tried standing up but she fell down immediately, she was simply too tired to move right now.

Cho Myeong-Suk then created a wagon out of wood, with magic the surrounding people then started offering help, Yoon Yong-Il was carried onto the wagon together with the others that were injured while Cho Myeong-Suk slept next to her, exhausting a lot of mana.

Yoon Yong-Il brushed the hair on the child's head, it was now half white and half brown. She began humming a song soothing to hear, if they were to look at her they wouldn't believe that the sound came from Yoon Yong-Il because of her injuries.

Timepass by like this it was a peaceful journey, by the time they arrived it was already night time Yoon Yong-Il was woken up and noticed that most of her wounds have already healed, she thanked the one who healed her before splitting ways.

When Yoon Yong-Il put the child on her back, a message appeared.

[Do you want to activate Faithful Armor Yes/No]

There was clear confusion on Yoon Yong-Il's face she whispered yes, and her tattered sweater and jeans started fixing themselves, she had a dumb expression and cursed silently.

[The skill 'Intuition' lvl 7 has activated]

Yoon Yong-Il could feel that there were eyes on her, then she heard a *ding*.

[You have received 100 stats and 10 levels]

[The skill 'Hero's Blessing' lvl MaX has activated]

[Received 100 stats -> 200 stats, 10 levels -> 20 levels]

Yoon Yong-Il quickly looked at her status and was shocked to see that it has greatly improved, she also felt most of her fatigue has been wiped away from her body.

***

Yoon Yong-Il waved her hand to exit the screens, she quickly looked around, she knew someone was watching, 'it was now a perfect time to try Illusion Magic'. She then shouted.

[The skill 'Illusion Magic' has been activated]

"Who's there? Must be the wind."

As she said that she turned around, behind sneaked up, and tried attacking her, stabbing her with a sword, though blood was not present instead smoke came out. Yoon Yong-Il's illusion deflated and the real one pointed her dagger at him from behind.

[The skill 'Deathly Presence' lvl 4 has activated]

"Speak, who sent you? and why?"

He felt shivers ran down his spine, he felt really scared right now but he wouldn't betray his boss!

"Oh, not talking ay?"

[The skill 'Dark Flames' lvl 3 has activated]

The flames enveloped the dagger he started sweating profusely, he wants to run away but he probably can't.

"So you won't talk till the end? such a shame."

Yoon Yong-Il was about to stab the man but then talked.

"Kim Poggun! it was Kim Poggun!"

The dagger stopped mid-air and was punched the man in the face instead, blasting him onto the wall 50ft away knocking him out, she knew who Kim Poggun was and Cho Myeong-Suk was still sleeping on her back cozily.

"Fuck, looks like this'll be very eventful."

She cursed as she walked to the guild, it was empty Shinku wasn't there to greet her, Yoon Yong-Il felt a little sad and went up the stairs and into her room, when she put Cho Myeong-Suk down to her bed, she woke up.

"Unnie, what's the matter?"

"Can you place a barrier for the entire room?"

"Okay, Unnie!"

She smiled so brightly even though Cho Myeong-Suk has just woken up she held her staff and chanted something softly and then a bright light enveloped the entire room before disappearing Yoon Yong-Il could feel the room enhanced by magic.

"Thanks now let's sleep."

As she said that Cho Myeong-Suk already went ahead first she lay down on her bed and focused all of her skills deactivated and her Foresight activated.

[The skill 'Foresight' lvl 2 has activated]

Amidst all the chaos surrounding them, Yoon Yong-Il could feel the power surging inside of her as she faced off with a man who has a big build. around us, chaos was ensuing as were fighting each other.

[The 'Ancient Queen of Kur' thinks that summoning that many was a stupid idea]

***

The screen abruptly closed, I was livid and said sarcasticaly.

"I'm.. getting used to this!"

[The skill 'Calm Mind' lvl 18 has activated]

As my mind calmed. I closed my eyes and went to sleep, much rather I couldn't sleep because of what would happen tomorrow with Uriel's training. Instead I sat cross legged and started cultivating, the manual told me how to cultivate [Heavenly King's Martial Arts], its really an amazing skill to be honest.

After cultivating till the sun rose, I felt a little refreshed rather than tired, I could feel something different from mana growing inside of me, I think this is what people called Qi, but... It didn't even level up even after cultivating it for a whole day!

I got out from my room and did my daily routine before going to the training grounds, while going there I had an idea as to why Midori is having a hard time controlling [Heavenly King's Martial Arts] she didn't practice and cultivate but rather it leveled up by itself due to the and the cheat skill [Hero's Blessings] if I remember correctly she only managed to use it twice or thrice.

[Good morning Rai]

As I heard that voice I looked in front of me to see Uriel holding a 2 wooden swords she threw one at me and I caught it something felt off with the handle as I checked it, it has my name engraved onto it.

"Good morning master Uriel."

[Now, since you broke one of my swords, that one will be yours for the rest of your stay in ]

"Thank you for your generosity."

I got ready for a fight, I know this isn't the only punishment she has for me, I blinked before my skills could activate, I was already on the floor with an aching pain on my chest.

'That was fast, way too fast!' as I thought this I stood up all my skills activated, my mind became much clearer as it was filled with different paths I could do, the pain start dissipating, and a golden aura surrounded my body, as a golden dragon wrap it self onto the blade and it shone in a brilliant golden hue.

[Heh, you're growing at a fast rate, but not as fast as your friends]

This hurt my pride, but I paid no mind cause I already know, Uriel charged at me, this time I could see her for only a little bit, I barely hang on with fighting her.
