I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 110: Acquired

Chapter 110: Acquired

It took two whole days for Ji-woo to integrate the Spheres with the Nullifier completely. During that time, he had to endure the pain his body had to suffer from the amalgamation. Not to mention the blood that spewed from his mouth could amount to several liters of volume.

Ji-woo lost consciousness after going through the two full-day processes. When he woke up, his whole body ached. He tried to get up and found his chest hurt. After checking, there were purple bruises on it. Then, a little blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.

He finally got to his feet with difficulty. He was truly exhausted, and his breathing rhythm was still irregular. Even the weights that only weighed 400 kg in total made it difficult for him to move. Previously, his body didn’t feel heavy because of it.

Ji-woo smiled wryly. The True Power would not return to him immediately just because he integrated the Chrono Sphere and Darkness Sphere within him. It would take time for Nullifier to fully refine the two Rare Mana and bring out the pinnacle of his existence.

Only Chrono and Darkness were compatible with the Nullifier of all existing Spheres. The Rare Mana of the two Spheres had the attributes corresponding to the Nullifier characteristic. It was suppressing Mana. The two could not get combined with Mana. The Rare Manas would eliminate or swallow ordinary Mana if they were met and put together.

The Chrono Sphere and Darkness Sphere were rare items, but not as rare as the Rnegyr Sphere. The two Spheres got rarely used because they were impossible to combine with Mana. That was why only the Nullifier Soul could use those two items.

However, Ji-woo was quite surprised that a creature like the Lizard Man could use those Rare Manas. Usually, the Mages were very disgusted with the two Spheres.

Even if Ji-woo knew that the Lizard Man was a distant descendant of the Dragon clan, he still didn’t expect that the two Spheres would get used by Mana users. The Dragons were arrogant beings and had pride in their magic, so not a single Dragon had ever used auxiliary equipment to enhance their magic spell. It was taboo for the Dragons.

He took out the Dungeon Bead from the Spatial Bag and crushed it. He fell on his knees after exiting the dungeon. He saw Dal-soo coming over to him and didn’t expect to get waited.

Ji-woo’s condition was so awful that it made Dal-soo flabbergasted.

“What happened?! Are you okay!? Let me heal you.”

Ji-woo chuckled at those words. He then calmed down Dal-soo, who panicked at how bad he was.

“Don’t make a fuss. There’s no need to worry. Just relax a bit. After a few hours’ rest, I’ll be fine again.”

Dal-soo was skeptical at Ji-woo’s reassuring words. He was an S-rank healer. The wound Ji-woo had sustained impossible he couldn’t heal. He alone was able to revive Team 3 leader Do-cheol from the momentary death. Let alone curing Ji-woo, it was an easy thing for him.

Ji-woo did not turn down the idea and let Dal-soo do whatever he wanted to do. It was a common thing that people never believed in anything until they experienced it for themselves. Instead of going back and forth between refusing and offering, it was better for him to be quiet and wait for the results later.

Half an hour later.

Dal-soo sweated profusely on his forehead. Almost half of his Mana got used up to cast a healing magic spell on Ji-woo, which so far has had no results at all. He could feel Ji-woo’s body was really not okay. But, every time he cast a magic spell, there was no sign that Ji-woo’s body condition was improving.

He didn’t know what to do, and his confused face got seen by Ji-woo. Even so, he still tried the healing magic spell even though he didn’t know why the magic wasn’t working.

Ji-woo stopped Dal-soo’s futile attempts. There were no healing magics that could work on him. It really was a waste of energy.

“Okay. Let’s stop this. It’s never going to work. Just let me rest and clean myself up.”

Dal-soo sighed and realized it was not working. He wanted to ask the reason why he couldn’t use the healing. And he also wanted to know what happened to Ji-woo. But, before the questions got asked, he had already been rejected.

Ji-woo didn’t want to explain and told Dal-soo with a simple answer. The magic didn’t work, and nothing dangerous happened inside the Portal Gate. No further inquiries were allowed.

Dal-soo complied with it and helped Ji-woo to get up. He offered to give him a set of new clothes and a place to rest at the Demigod guild’s headquarters.

Ji-woo refused the offer and cleaned the blood along with a few specks of dust all over his body. After a while, his appearance looked better than before. However, his clothes were still not completely clean.

He thanked Dal-soo for his help and about the Portal Gate. He told Dal-soo nothing he could give to the guild since he didn’t get much loot in the dungeon.

Dal-soo didn’t think much of it because it was basically an exchange for Ji-woo to talk to him. He offered to drive Ji-woo home and got accepted.

But, Ji-woo had no intention of being driven home. He ended up getting off at the laundry because he wanted to wash his clothes. He thanked him for the ride and told Dal-soo if there was a Portal Gate he or the guild wanted to throw away, they could call him. Also, in the future, if Dal-soo or the Demigod Guild needed emergency assistance, he might be willing to help them out a bit.

To kill is to kill; Helping is helping.

Even though Ji-woo was an existence that kills mercilessly, he still knew how to help and return a small favor to the other party.

Ji-woo recalled what happened inside the tier-3 Portal Gate while waiting for his clothes to get clean and dry.

The dungeon this time was quite pathetic in terms of loot. There were no Magic Crystals or Magic Stones. There were no valuable magic items and weapons that were worth the money.

Did Ji-woo have to carry the muddy throne full of moss and wet leaves, putting it in the Spatial Bag?

Well, he didn’t really need to be that miserable because he was pretty well get accommodated with the money that he had in his account now.

The loot only consisted of five Spheres. There were two Obelisk Spheres, the Rnegyr Sphere, the Chrono Sphere, and the Darkness Sphere.

On top of that five objects, Ji-woo’s Spatial Bag had one Skill Page, three Magic Crystals, and one Magic Stone.

He planned to let Yu-jin and Dong-hyun check the Skills Page first before he decided whether to sell it or not. He thought of giving them something after going through quite a mentally draining practice.

Ji-woo did a hand clasped motion like stretching a few times. His body was still pretty weak, and it would take some time for him to recover to his previous state. He really couldn’t be cured by healing magic spells, but Nullifier had a similar ability. To be precise, it was a passive ability that could heal wounds and fatigue on its own. The only difference, it was not as practical and instant as healing magic.

The process could take a day or more, depending on how severe Ji-woo’s condition was. The downside was, he couldn’t regenerate fatal wounds like a severed limb.

He took a deep breath. His breathing rhythm returned to normal, and his body felt a little lighter than before. However, his face was still slightly sweaty and looked pale.

On the other hand, all those things were not without satisfactory results for him. He already possessed Nullifier True Strength, though it was not quite there yet.

In the past, it took Ji-woo a month after absorbing the Chrono Sphere and Darkness Sphere to use his full power. He hoped this time it would be faster than before. The sooner, the better. And the things he needed to worry about would only get counted on his fingers.

He was even confident that he could beat the man he met at his father’s cemetery without putting his life on the line.

Ji-woo returned home. Luckily there is no one at home because Ji-won is still at school while her mother is still at the diner. Otherwise, his pale face would be the source of questions that worried both his family. He showered and then went to bed to rest as much as he could.

Elsewhere, on the 13th floor of the Hunters Association headquarters, the armory shop became packed with a group of hunters who heard the news of the two Red Broadswords. A few hours after he two weapons got displayed on the platforms, even though the store did not share the information.

Ding!

The elevator on the 13th floor opened. There are several hunters in it.

“Sir Godly Doctor, do you also want to come down here?”

“No. I have a business on the top floor.”
