The Power Called a Miracle

Finally arriving at the Drake County, Kyle and his party hid themselves with transparent magic and headed towards the Drake family’s castle.

“Everyone’s here.”

“Rian!”

Vermillion, who had come out to greet the three people who arrived in a separate room, entered the room belatedly, and Anise ran to him and hugged him.

Feeling the warmth of his lover, Vermillion felt his confused mind clear up.

As he hugged her dearly as if to keep that warmth, Kyle, who was sitting behind, subtly avoided his gaze.

On the other hand, Sylvia simply smiled contentedly at the sight.

“I heard the story from Primo. Something absurd happened.”

“That’s how it turned out. I don’t know how shocked I was at first either.”

“How’s Father doing?”

“He’s fine now. However, it’s uncertain when the curse will be triggered again….”

Gloom settled on Vermillion’s face as he trailed off.

Even Vermillion, who had quite a bit of knowledge about magic, had never seen such a curse of incantation in his life.

Considering that it even broke the spirit of the so strong Persis, it must not be an ordinary curse.

Perhaps it’s not just about pain, but a powerful curse that can even take the life of the cursed person at will.

That’s why Vermillion couldn’t even dare to casually undo the curse.

Usually, curses like that are difficult to undo except for the caster, and if you fail, there will be corresponding side effects.

“Kyle, is curse magic generally difficult to undo?”

“It’s difficult. From the beginning, even casting a curse is difficult, but undoing it is twice as difficult. Moreover, if the caster is the leader of the Eyes of Dawn, it will be even more so.”

Answering Sylvia’s question, Kyle bit his lip.

The story that the woman who appeared here was the leader of the Eyes of Dawn was virtually confirmed.

That means, in order to undo the incantation she cast, you have to be a more skilled person than her.

It’s difficult to find such a person, and even if you find such a person, it’s hard to guarantee the undoing.

“Can’t I use the power in my eyes?”

“I don’t know. But I think it’s quite dangerous. Those eyes are just a power for destruction. If an accident occurs in the process of breaking the incantation, the cursed person’s body may collapse as it is.”

“Ah….”

It’s not for nothing that her eyes were given the dishonorable title of Evil Eyes.

Sylvia’s eyes, or rather, the power contained in the fragment of Lethe, is extremely powerful.

But sometimes there are things that can’t be solved with just power.

Above all, the reason why Kyle couldn’t easily decide to use Sylvia’s power was because he knew about the burden on her body when she used that power.

Just breaking the special ceremonial dress attached to the Archbishop’s body made her gasp for breath and lose consciousness for a while.

If she even touched a powerful curse left by someone like the leader of the Eyes of Dawn, she could be in danger.

“I’m sorry, Drake Gongja-nim. I wish I could be of some help….”

“No. Don’t worry about it. I’m happy with just your heart.”

When Sylvia expressed her regret and apologized, Vermillion shook his head with a bitter smile.

From the beginning, he was just racking his brain because he didn’t have any other solutions.

It means that it’s not a situation where he can be dissatisfied that others can’t help him.

“After all, the most certain thing is to defeat that woman.”

“That’s right. But it’s a gamble after all. Even if we defeat her, it’s meaningless if she comes out as a last resort right before she dies.”

“That’s true too.”

When the result of racking his brain as a solution was refuted by Kyle in an instant, Vermillion nodded with a bitter face.

In the end, is there no way to rescue his unfortunate father from that curse?

As helplessness swirled around him, he felt like his legs would give way at any moment.

The reason why he couldn’t do that and was desperately holding on was because there was no one else to save his father other than himself.

“Rian, can you show me Father’s condition?”

“To Anise, you mean?”

But then, as if giving him a helping hand, Anise’s voice seeped into his ears.

It wasn’t just Vermillion who was surprised by that.

Kyle, who was watching this scene from afar, also widened his eyes.

“…Come to think of it, Anise had that power.”

“But wouldn’t it be difficult? I know that curse magic doesn’t listen to any recovery magic in the first place.”

As Kyle muttered with his hand on his chin, Vermillion showed a difficult expression.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Anise’s power, but that was just the general common sense about curse magic.

When Persis collapsed, wasn’t it useless to cast recovery magic on him no matter how much?

He had already experienced that helpless sight once, so he couldn’t help but have little faith.

But Kyle’s thoughts were somewhat different.

“No. From the beginning, who said that Anise’s power is the same form as recovery magic?”

“Yes? What does that….”

“Then was it not that, Kyle?”

Vermillion and Sylvia simultaneously widened their eyes at Kyle’s rather firm tone.

That’s because they had already witnessed some of Anise’s power after the battle with the Archbishop.

And the identity of that power, so-called miracle, that they saw at that time seemed like a very powerful recovery magic.

Not only slightly cut or scratched wounds, but also quite deep wounds were completely restored to their original state.

Vermillion had even experienced the complete disappearance of the huge wind hole in his abdomen, so he naturally thought that Anise’s power was a kind of great recovery magic.

Except for only one person, Kyle.

“General recovery magic is just about healing wounds on the body. But from what I experienced at that time, Anise’s power was on a different level from that.”

“In what way?”

“Like this.”

Kyle lightly flicked his finger to recreate the scene he saw at that time.

With a *buuk* sound, the area around his arm tore along with his clothes, and red blood flowed out from inside.

“K, Kyle! What are you doing…!”

“It’s okay, just watch, Sylvia. Anise, please.”

“Okay.”

Sylvia, who was surprised by the sudden self-harm, tried to approach, but Kyle stopped her and called Anise.

Anise, who approached at his gesture, closed her eyes tightly and put her hand on his arm to manifest a miracle.

The sacred golden light that was only seen gathered from around, and the fragments divided into several strands quickly merged and rapidly reduced in size to create a golden sphere.

As it permeated the wound engraved on Kyle’s arm, a faint light flowed out, and soon….

*Seureureuk.*

Not only the wound on Kyle’s arm, but even the torn clothes were perfectly restored.

At this, Kyle turned around and showed off his arm, saying as if to show this.

“As you can see, even the clothes have been perfectly restored. Vermillion, you can’t not know this difference.”

“…Yes, how could I not know.”

At that, Vermillion blinked his eyes for a long time with a dumbfounded expression, and then calmed down his emotions and expressed affirmation.

How could he not know?

Those who are knowledgeable about magic would have immediately realized what the difference was between the phenomenon just now and recovery magic.

Basically, recovery magic is a magic that heals wounds or diseases on the human body as it is.

In fact, it is not limited to humans, but can be used on any creature with magical power, such as animals.

In other words, the most powerful recovery magic will not work on inanimate objects that do not have magical power.

In other words, if Anise’s power was just a kind of great recovery magic as Vermillion guessed, it would have been impossible to restore even the clothes like just now.

“This is like….”

“…Yes, it’s similar to regression magic.”

“Regression magic?”

When Kyle opened his mouth instead of Vermillion, who couldn’t continue speaking, Sylvia asked with surprised eyes.

Since they had experienced something, they felt a twinge in their hearts when they heard the word regression.

Regression magic.

It literally means magic that restores the object to before a specific phenomenon occurred by turning back time.

However, there has not been any plausible research on regression magic yet.

Despite the fact that all the great magicians of the Empire rushed in and squeezed their wisdom, the conclusion was that ‘regression magic is a miracle of God that cannot be realized.’

Therefore, only possibilities and guesses exist in theory that ‘it will have this effect’, and no one has actually faced that miracle.

To be exact, it would be safe to say that there is no one but Kyle or Sylvia.

“I thought it was strange at first. No matter how strong it is, I wondered why those guys wanted the power that only ends up as recovery magic so much.”

“I did too.”

Expressing strong sympathy with Kyle’s words, Vermillion turned his gaze towards Anise.

He definitely thought it was strange.

Although the miracle that Anise manifests is powerful, there must be many people within the Eyes of Dawn who can use that level of recovery magic.

He couldn’t understand why they were so obsessed with her.

But if this guess is correct, the reason can also be explained.

And if the power she manifests is really a miracle called regression magic….

‘Father, can be saved.’

Vermillion then felt his sunken heart pounding again.
