Chapter 364: Light Kiyoung said, Let there be light: and there was light (2)
The light burst through from my creation.
The result that had already left the kit and entered the bottle was radiating such a brilliant light that I couldn't open my eyes properly. The way it constantly emitted light made me feel anxious, for some reason.
'Benignore didn't backstab me, right...?'
I felt like I was close to exploding due to the anxiety that was building up inside of me.
Of course, it was hard to imagine that the venerable Goddess Benignore would abandon me, a devout believer and a proud ally of Kim Hyuna, but it didn't mean I did not feel worried at all.
My anxiety only stemmed from the realization that not all transcendental beings were genuine in their actions. Take Elune, for example.
'No. Still, our Goddess Benignore is not that kind of being.'
She must have sacrificed a lot already, so she wouldn't backstab the devout believer so far. Perhaps she had added her own power to this creation to aid me.
I was nervous, but I was quite sure that this wouldn't explode.
"It's Elena-nim's divine power."
"I'm sorry?"
"Please keep sending divine power here. It will definitely work."
"O-Okay. Please leave it to me."
No further explanation was needed. She immediately nodded and shoved divine power into the bottle.
It was a solid fact that Elena's divine power was a little more concentrated than mine. As if she had received a golden egg, she continued to inject her divine power. I joined her in doing so.
Once again, the light began to burst.
I was a little scared whenever it would shake violently, but in the end, the sound I wanted began to resonate.
'As expected, I wasn't wrong. Long live, Goddess Benignore.'
[The combination of Light Bomb Potion, a semi-mythical-grade potion, was successful.]
[Magic power increases by 1.]
[Light Bomb Potion (Semi-mythic)]
[Alchemist of Light exclusive consumption item: Daily usage limit (3/3)]
[This is a unique potion that can only be activated by the semi-mythic class, the Alchemist of Light. Created by Goddess Benignore's consideration and Elena's sacrifice, this potion triggers a massive explosion of light that reacts to the user's enemies and allies immediately after instilling the user's divine power. Allies are immediately healed of serious injuries, but enemies remain exposed to the effects of the explosion. This potion can be used three times a day. P.S: Crappy bastard. This is really the last time. I've passed my limit.]
Nice! Nice! Sweet! Sweet!
"Lee Kiyoung, I think it's done. We did it. We did it!"
"Yes. I'm also seeing it, Elena-nim."
"I-It really... such a thing..."
"It's all thanks to Elena."
"No. This is the result of your achievements. Yes. The crystal of divinity surrounded by this pure light is your feat. You're really amazing. Really..."
"You're over complimenting me. I wouldn't have been able to make it if I were alone."
I also wanted to scream. However, it was hard to express my joy due to the situation.
I felt like I wanted to dance with that in my hand, but for now, it was best to put the potion in my arms. I wanted to appreciate the brilliance in more detail, but unfortunately, I didn't have the time.
Considering the potion's durability, it may not be broken by a simple shock, but there was nothing wrong with being careful as anything could happen.
I would only be rest assured if I put it in the infinite bag that Kim Hyunsung had given me.
As soon as I squeezed it in and moved, I saw Elena grabbing me and nodding.
'She seems to be in a good mood.'
There was an unimaginable excitement on her face.
She had an expression that seemed as if she had thought that she had indeed saved the world. There was even respect on her face whilst looking at me.
'Right. It's understandable. I understand. I understand.'
This was a semi-mythic grade potion.
Of course, it was still one step below the mythic grade, but this potion was definitely and at least on the fringes of the mythic-grade.
I didn't know how strong it was, but I was sure the firepower would be more than expected.
It could even recover allies from severe injuries immediately.
It should be a little insufficient, but perhaps it would have a performance that exceeded a high-ranking priest's divine power.
The only downside was that there was a usage limit per day.
I didn't know if it was blocked by Benignore or if it had been restricted because it was out of standard, but it didn't matter now, anyway.
'It's a fact that it can distinguish enemies and allies.'
No matter how I was to look at it, this object deserved some praise.
'Let's go! Long live, Goddess Benignore!'
Since I had overcome the most difficult mission, the next step was a piece of a cake. If I went into his heart and threw the thing that was in my arms, everything would be solved.
The expeditions outside would be happy, and I also would be happy. My contaminated soul had already gotten healed.
Everyone would feel amazed upon witnessing Light Kiyoung's feat, who had gained new power whilst purifying his defiled soul.
The situation I was in right now was pretty tough, but when I anticipated the warm results that would come later, I couldn't help but smile.
Of course, it was not easy to move.
They were still in the middle of a fierce battle outside. No, honestly, I was not sure that the battle was going on. I wanted to see what the situation was like, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
'I wish I could convey the situation here...'
Somewhere, I felt a little familiar magic power.
If what I was feeling right now was not my illusion, this pleasantly familiar energy was hers.
'Jung Hayan?'
I had to smile.
Of course, after I realized that I had Elena in my arms, I felt startled, but since it was inevitable, she would probably understand.
Although I felt nervous, I thought she would give a greater significance to have confirmed that I was alive, rather than the fact that I was holding her.
As I slowly looked around, a familiar eye began to appear in my sight.
'Anemone's Eye.'
Sure enough, the expedition had arrived here. I could see the big eye chasing me.
Not only did this pierce through Salit's resistance, but to have found my location accurately gave me goosebumps.
Of course, it was not magic that attacked the outside or the inside, so the resistance judgment was different from usual, but it was still surprising to show such magic.
As I looked exactly in the Anemone's Eye and nodded, I felt as if that thing also nodded.
'My expectation was correct.'
I knew it – Jung Hayan couldn't check on me personally because she was far away.
It was a moment to realize once again that the reason for this agitation was because of the expedition.
'It means it was correct that a battle was in progress.'
She seemed to worry about me even while the battle was going on.
I wanted to tell her to focus more instead of wasting useless magic power, but I thought that this was better.
This was easier for outside personnel to get my intention as I wanted.
"Tie him up as much as possible. I will run toward the heart."
"What?"
"And focus on the outside, not here."
She must have heard it. However, Anemone's Eye was still following me.
As I looked into Anemone's Eye and beckoned, I could see the magic dissipating immediately as if she understood what I meant.
'Good.'
I didn't know how much progress was made, but my intention was clearly communicated.
They must know that the impact he would get affected us as well. I didn't know how high his endurance was, but it was highly likely that other attacks other than those of Jung Hayan and Kim Hyunsung would not work properly.
They were giving him physical shocks, but the attacks had not reached the inside.
As he was too big, there must be a limit to Hyuna's cutting. Had I been able to see the end, Salit would have already been rolling over the ground.
'It means I have to help.'
I was not doing this because I wanted the final blow.
'Very good.'
Whether the message delivered to Jung Hayan was effective or not, it felt that his movement had substantially decreased.
It didn't seem like they were restraining his movement right now, but they seemed to be refraining from using magic that could give physical shock as much as possible.
Naturally, it was now easier to move. Seeing that, Elena began to open her mouth.
"Lee Kiyoung, are you..."
"Yes. The expedition seems to have confirmed our current location. Perhaps, in a little while, there will be a signal."
"I see. It's really... fortunate."
"I think Hayan has found me. Seeing the different aspects of the battle, it seems like they are trying to help from outside."
"That's... good."
"Let's move quickly. The signal will probably come within minutes."
"Yes... Yes!"
It was then that I felt a heavy shock once again. I flinched for a moment, but wasn't surprised. I felt the pressure of something pressing him from above.
I could feel him struggling, but he was definitely fixed in a corner. The insides were swaying, but his position didn't change.
'We're almost there.'
My legs hurt, and I was out of breath.
However, perhaps because of the passion for the last hit, or the determination not to put the expedition members in danger, an unknown spirit had risen inside me.
I was now starting to remember what I've been through all this whole time. Of course, there were a lot of things to thank for Salit because what I gained thanks to him weren't little.
Unfortunately, it was time to say goodbye to him here.
[Heart of Salit]
I had finally reached my destination.
The scene of the huge heart moving violently was overwhelming, but of course, I didn't want to just watch it blankly.
I wanted to get out of here as fast as possible. I also wanted to get rid of the stress that I had been under so far. I picked up what was in the infinite bag in no time.
'Did you think you could eat me?'
It must be clear that the energy of light that Light Kiyoung possessed was too brilliant for him to digest.
Naturally, I poured divine power into the newly created Light Bomb potion.
As soon as the item left my hand, a blinding glow began to spread around the potion.
"Fuck..."
As much as I wanted to, I couldn't take a picture of this scene.
A shout burst out without my knowledge. It was a line famous all over the world, but I wanted to shout it at least once.
"Let there be light."
'And there was light.'
And there was light. Literally.
[A feat that cannot be achieved was achieved.]
[A new title is created.]
