CXVII.

The contradictory energy, which was somehow cool despite being warm, restored my vision that had been losing focus.

I instinctively realized that a new Arcana had been summoned and was giving me strength. However, my interest is not in the sight regained through the power of the newly summoned Arcana.

He was still looking at the message, the message that was blinking and flashing, showing off his presence.

『Condition 4. Passive card death bloom confirmation』

『You have accumulated 10 deaths of intermediate level or higher in the passive card, the power of ‘death’, and death accumulation.』

『You have accumulated at least one death of intermediate level or higher but lower than the Demon Lord in the passive card, ‘Death’ power, and death accumulation.』

『Opening conditions completed. Link card blooming. [THE HANGED MAN].』

『Confirmation of death of perfectly summoned Arcana [THE MATRIARCH]. Discover something special! ‘Complete death’ confirmed by the ‘Ti Estin (essence) power’ 《Existential Destruction》 of the highest level demon, GLASYA-LABOLAS.』

『All link opening conditions completed. Card blooming. [WHEEL of FORTUNE].』

『The conditions for activation of the linked passive card of the three cards are met. Would you like to reverse the death of Arcana [THE MATRIARCH]?』

“That… Return it.”

Under normal circumstances, I would have welcomed her, told her that I cared for her, and comforted her, but I felt sorry for the newly appeared Arcana, but I couldn’t help it.

Because of May, who was barely able to breathe.

Before I lost my mind, I remembered that I desperately wanted to say ‘yes’, so I was about to answer, but I answered back for a more definite answer.

『Linked passive activation approved.』

A message that only I could see appeared in the air.

I’m so nervous that I’m drooling down my throat without realizing it. While I was barely able to get up and sit down, my whole body was screaming and throbbing, and my eyes kept trying to close, as if representing my body’s fatigue.

『Card No. 10. [WHEEL of FORTUNE]’s unique power, “fate,” is revealed.』

The newly developed card number 10, the “Wheel of Fortune” card, which is the same passive type as the “Death” card, floats away, sprinkling a vivid golden light.

『Card No. 12. [THE HANGED MAN]’s unique power, 《Return》 is applied.』

In addition, as soon as the conditions for the “Death” card are met, the enlightened passive “Hanged Man” card is overlapped with the “Wheel of Fortune” card that emerged earlier, making the golden color even darker and wider.

『No. 13. With [DEATH]’s unique power, 《The only price for death is death》, Arcana [THE MATRIARCH] pays the ‘death’ necessary to ‘revert’ the ‘fate’ of dying. Check the remaining amount of accumulated points.』

『Payment complete!』

Finally, the “Death” card floated with a golden glow and stood facing the two overlapping cards.

As soon as the words “payment complete” come to mind, black beads of different sizes rise from the “Death” card and are absorbed into the two overlapping cards.

『The linked passive, “Reverse fate by overturning death.” has been successfully implemented.』

Faaah!

The light exchanged between the three cards came together vividly and permeated the dying May.

And May recovered quickly, as if to prove that the message I saw was not an illusion.

No, rather than recovery, a more accurate description would be that it was restored to its original state, as if turning back time.

Not only Mei’s complexion and wounds, but also her pure white clothes, which had been pierced and soaked with blood by the hand of a top-class demon, were changing neatly.

“Oh… ”

As soon as I woke up and saw May looking for me, I closed my eyes, feeling the tension I had barely maintained break with a snap.

“Thank goodness… … .”

I couldn’t even finish saying I was glad.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Baby!”

“Master!”

“… brother? Oppa!!”

“Don’t do that. You need to sleep.”

The Arcana who were trying to wake Gray from his sleep stopped when they heard the woman’s quiet but firm voice.

This may be because her words are valid, but it is also because of the unique title ‘My Lady.’

“I want to say hello, but I haven’t yet said hello to you, the master.”

Did he misunderstand that four pairs of eyes were staring at him? A beautiful and elegant woman wearing a blue shroud and a white hat responded like that.

“You~.”

“Wait a minute. Clown sister. brother is? Are you okay? Little brother?”

“Yes. The energy contaminated by the demons was thoroughly purified, and all damaged internal organs and broken bones were healed using holy spells after being perfectly aligned. In other words, there is no problem physically, but you will need mental rest. In that sense, sleep will definitely be good rest.”

In a way, the newly appeared woman’s words felt more irrefutable than the witch’s logical words. It was like a virtuous and virtuous mother giving advice to her immature daughters.

Even May, who was always lively and lively, became quiet at the words of the new woman.

“Isn’t there something we should do more than that? About cards and my friend.”

After all, it’s a mother position, right?

Just like her huge and voluptuous breasts, her warm and quiet tone of voice was somewhat difficult, but the words she said, ‘Card and Sir’ made the Arcana quickly recognize the situation.

“Wait a minute. Our cute matriarch sister cannot do that.”

In “? Why, why?”

“I need to get more treatment. Where are you going to run away? I also need to take medicine.”

“Eck! Hey, medicine! I am superhuman… … .”

“ugh! They say you need to take medicine to get better quickly.”

May struggled to get away, but I don’t know if it was because of May’s small and delicate body or the patient debuff that naturally reduces strength when standing in front of a doctor, but May was grabbed by the back and forced to sit next to the woman.

May, who was worried that Gray might wake up when she saw the woman with Gray’s head on her thigh, had no choice but to give up struggling.

When on earth was it manufactured amid all this chaos?

What the woman pulled out of the air was steaming, and anyone could see that it looked as if it had just been boiled, and yet the smell and color alone made it ‘a bitter taste that would make your jaw joints ache and your forehead tingle!’ It was a ‘decoction’ as they say.

“Ugh!!”

“I should eat it quickly, right?”

Mei, who loves sweetness and cares deeply about it, is a decoction that contains everything she absolutely does not want to eat.

However, as a patient, she had no power to resist the woman who was a doctor.

“Ugh… … . Write it!! Use it!”

While May was complaining and flapping her arms to match her appearance, the woman, who had no idea where she had come from, put something round in May’s mouth.

Then, May’s big eyes grow even bigger and she looks at the woman with a surprised face.

“I endured it well.”

Gracefully curved eyes and a sweet and cozy voice.

It seemed like a collection of various images that naturally came to mind when thinking of a wise mother.

“Hehe.”

The sweet taste that rolls around in your mouth, the warmth you feel every time you stroke your head with a warm hand, and the warm tone of your words. May, who came back from being on the verge of death, feels increasingly drowsy and her eyelids droop.

Even though it was a cold floor, May, who was lying on her thigh instead of the thigh that Gray was sitting on, quickly fell asleep.

With a smile like a baby angel. Meanwhile, the direction the other Arcana were heading towards was towards the superhumans who were still bruised.

“Did you see it?”

The witch immediately cut off both the front and back and asked that question. And that too with the clown and punishment setting the tone in the background.

Naturally, the superhumans did not understand what she was asking.

“The power used by the Master.”

The witch mentioned certain information and the superhumans’ faces hardened. It’s not that the witch’s remarks were made because she felt bad.

Oh, of course that could be the case, but the biggest reason why they look so serious right now is probably because of the ridiculous power that Gray has unleashed.

“Is that his power? Obtained as a candidate?”

The witch answered the question of the woman called Shingung by nodding her head.

Likewise, no, with an even more stiff face.

However, the superhumans were so absorbed in their own thoughts that they had no time to pay attention to the witch’s complexion.

When the card popped out, the superhumans clearly saw and felt it.

There was no cost, or in other words, no movement of divine power.

In other words, I don’t know what mechanism it works, but this means that there is no cost involved when summoning a card and performing some kind of miracle with it.

Of course, such people do not exist in natural phenomena. Even without divine power, force, mana, spirit, and divinity, nature is always doing its job.

Clouds form, rain falls, wind blows, grains grow, etc.

But that and this are completely different.

Moreover, the cards that Gray had summoned—and they believed that he had summoned them—were not just simple wind blowing.

Arcana May, who clearly had a hideous hole in her chest, was saved. As if time had turned back.

Of course, a considerable amount of divine power was exerted when summoning a woman who suddenly appeared, a woman whose name I did not know. All kinds of divine powers, regardless of force, mana, divinity, and spirit.

“Hmm… … .”

The more Shingung thought about it, the more he swallowed his sleep at the incomprehensible situation, while the expressions of the superhumans returned to normal. fast.

First, the Pope and Caligo’s expressions quickly returned to their usual, even more upbeat, expressions, as if they were insisting that their slightly more serious expressions were an illusion.

“Of course! The final proof is your favor!!”

“Definitely. If it is the last proof.”

The two of them were happy to talk to each other like that. It may seem obvious, but the two are happy. Instead, they nodded with great joy or praised, leaving the embarrassment to the listener.

One by one, other superhumans woke up from their own thoughts. And he was looking at her with a hard face, as if he was asking what he had to say to the witch.

Without opening your mouth.

“We are the only ones here who know the power of the Master.”

“Huh? Who is the Dean?”

“I don’t know either. Contrary to popular belief, you may guess that it is not a warrior’s power.”

The statement that even Dean Hu didn’t know caused various expressions to appear on the faces of other superhumans. The Pope and his party looked somewhat triumphant, while the three female superhumans looked quite surprised.

And the shrine,

“How is that possible?”

It was an angry face. I could sense that he was angry even in his tone of voice.

Is it because he is from the Cradle of the Unmanned, which is said to have a fairly deep connection with Dean Hu? Or is he angry that he didn’t tell his helper about his power?

The clown stepped forward, squinting his eyes as if he was appalled by the words and actions of the other person who was getting angry at him for that.

No, I was going to step forward.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

If only the witch hadn’t stopped him.

“It’s obvious? After the dean!”

“What about that?”

“What, what?!”

“I made it known that they use a bow as their weapon, but what is their unique walking technique? And what about the Soul power you acquired while becoming a superhuman? Did you inform the dean after becoming acquainted with you?”

The witch’s voice did not contain any emotion.

It didn’t show any emotion, like reading a language textbook, without getting angry at the other person for getting angry or showing that what the other person said was ridiculous.

When you become a superhuman using the Force, the powers you automatically awaken are harmlessness and soul weapon.

If you know about Soul Weapon, you can prepare for the other person’s secret trick, so no matter how close you are, you do not tell each other.

Even if it is family or students.

That’s why ‘harmlessness’ is more widely known as the power of superhumans who use the Force.

“Of course I wouldn’t have told anyone. Because soul power cannot be known just by looking at it.”

“… okay. Ha, but!”

“Rather, the other candidates who boasted about the power they received from God were foolish. Do demons have no ears on the continent?”

“… … .”

The shrine was speechless due to the witch’s series of harsh facts. He just bites his lower lip to show his discomfort.

“So, there is something I would like to ask you. Master’s power. I hope there are no rumors.”

“… Why did you give that to me?”

“It would be really nice if rumors didn’t spread.”

“… … .”

The witch’s power silenced even the other superhumans who were laughing while watching the situation.

“If rumors spread, the thing you all feared might happen one day, where you would never be able to get out of the bathroom.”

“Hiik!!”

Some time later, while looking at the Dean’s back, Gray said that his back seemed to be screaming, ‘I’m the crazy one in this district!’

Right now at this moment.

In the eyes of superhumans, they were seeing the same thing that Gray saw back then, as they looked at the witch who spoke quietly and firmly.

The witch was speaking with her whole body.

‘I protect my man! Even if you call me a crazy bitch!’
