Magic Shop System

Chapter 121 - Conspiracy

Barret sealed the wooden room so no fluctuations of Elora's spell could go out and alert the villagers. Only then did the girl cast the spell. She closed her eyes and shouted. "Life Fairy: Rain of Healing!" Then a shadow emerged from behind her. However this time her body was far clearer than the last time when Elora healed those injured soldiers. 

Her beauty was incomparable and her eyes were close. An elegant flower crown adorned her green, increasing her charming look even further and stunning green wings spread behind her back, that looked no different than the leaves. But the striking green light they emitted was enough to awe anyone present in the room.

At this moment the Life Fairy opened her charming blue eyes and stared at Elora and then waved her hand. As soon as she made this gesture the atmosphere of the room changed and green drops started to pour down from the ceiling — as the first drop fell on Kadyn's body, a comfortable feeling spread throughout his body. 

His broken bones started to heal rapidly, making a cracking sound as they joined each other. Kadyn winced from time to time in pain but as the pain appeared the soothing sensation would follow, alleviating the agony, and that would make him moan in pleasure.

The spell lasted only half a minute but in this period his condition improved beyond words. Though he wasn't in his top condition yet, he was almost healed — the shadow of the woman behind Elora as well vanished. But as soon as the shadow disappeared Elora's body went limp and collapsed on the ground. 

However, Barret took a step forward and supported her from behind. Her face was pale as the sheet of paper and her body was drenched in sweat but a slight smile hung on the corner of her mouth. Her body was completely devoid of mana at the moment. 

Even after improving her strength by leaps and bounds, reaching the rank of Spell Casters (though she could only be considered half step into the Spell Caster Rank as she hadn't started building her Magic Ruin yet) she still could cast this spell almost barely. Thankfully her condition was a lot better than the last time, and there didn't seem to be any damage done to her body.

Kadyn looked at her and asked. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing," Elora smiled and stood straight, though her legs still shivered slightly. "It is just because I have used excessive mana, and would need to recover for a day or two," she looked at him and asked. "How about you?"

Kadyn sighed in relief and smiled and took off the blanket of his body and put his legs on the soil floor and stretched. "Hmmm… so comforting~ A pretty amazing spell. Though not enough to heal Rank 1 mage in a critical situation. It is still pretty good for an elementary spell to heal a Half Rank 1 mage."

There was one more thing that Kadyn didn't say: His body was almost already as strong as the Rank 1 mage due to his extra elements. Because whenever he assimilated an element into the Blessing Pool, his body would be strengthened by the Blessing Element. Until now his body had been strengthened eight times as he had assimilated 8 elements with the Blessing Pool.

Kadyn moaned in pleasure as his body made a cracking sound at his every stretch. After that he walked towards Barret and murmured something in his ear. The man heard him and nodded; Elora was near him so she also heard what he said and a light flashed in her eyes as she understood what he meant.

"Alright, now you can go back," Kadyn waved his hand and said to them. "I'll let you know when I need your help. Well, that is if I couldn't handle the situation myself."

As the two of them vanished with the door, Kadyn fell on his bed again and said. "Once you said that Healing Element could be evolved into something amazing. Were you referring to the Life Element?"

"Oh, my my, how much effort did your small head put to reach that conclusion? No matter what, I'm impressed," a sarcastic voice spoke in his head.

Kadyn gritted his teeth and had an urge to curse, but then sighed and said. "So what do I need to do to evolve her healing element?"

"You can do nothing about it," the system replied. "It all depends on her."

"At least give me a hint," Kadyn said.

"Shoo~ shoo~"

"..."

Kadyn was furious and speechless at the same time. He couldn't counter him with words. As he was immersed in deep thinking, he heard the sound of footsteps. He hurriedly put the blanket over himself and made a miserable expression. As if his body was feeling so much agony that he could not bear it; he made his whole body jerk and twitch from time to time. I hope I'm not overacting. He thought

"No, you are not," System replied. "I could still bear the overacting but what you are doing is beyond that so tone it down a bit."

"Errr.. ok," Kadyn was embarrassed hearing such a comment and started to act more normally.

The door of the room opened and a Waul entered. He glanced at Kadyn and smiled. "I'm here to bring your breakfast." He said and walked towards the table before placing a tray filled with fruits over it. "Do you need me to feed you or you can do it yourself?"

"Ah, please, pass the tray to me. I can eat myself," Kadyn said. Who the fuck want to eat with your hands? Where is the beautiful fairy who is supposed to treat me and feed me like other protagonists?!

Waul placed the tray over his laps. Kadyn nodded with a smile and started to eat slowly with his trembling hands and started to nibble on the fruits. He just hoped that Waul would not see through his terrible acting.

After eating a few pieces of fruit Kadyn wiped his mouth with his sleeve and passed the tray again to Waul. "I'm full," he said. "Can you pass me the water?"

After drinking water, Kadyn laid down and closed his eyes, appearing as if he had fallen asleep. Waul looked at him briefly and then walked out of the room with the fruit tray — as soon as the boy exited the room, Kadyn opened his eyes and sat on the bed. Then he flicked his hand and the door that led to the shop once more appeared — from which Slyff walked out. 

"Do you need any help, boss?" Slyff asked as he appeared inside the room. His heart was filled with gratitude towards Kadyn as he had saved while knowing the danger of going to the castle. His loyalty increased rapidly towards Kadyn and was already above 2o.

"Yes, I need you to go out and investigate this village. There is something off with these people. I want to know what that is. Can you do it?" asked Kadyn as he looked at Slyff.

"Alright," the boy nodded. 

Then a window opened in front of Kadyn and he assigned the quest to Slyff — afterwards, Slyff tried to open the door of the room, but it was closed from outside. He shook his head and transformed into a bee. 

At the moment he wasn't just a 6-star elementary mage, but he had already reached the 9-star. After all, previously he had received hundred energy points and with the help of those points he was able to improve his strength, and one month was more than enough to do that.

As Slyff went out Kadyn checked his status window as well, and his eyes bulged out. "What the hell? Where did my thousand energy points go?"

[Energy Points: 5907]

"Previously I had about 7000!"

"Did you think that teleporting with the shop was similar to teleporting alone, huh?" said System with an irritated tone.

"You mean the cost of teleporting with the shop is 1000 energy points?" Kadyn asked with an agitated voice. "That's insane!"

"Humph, how could a brainless person know about the spectacles of such an amazing ability?" System defended. "With this ability, you can teleport as many people as you could enter inside the shop. You can escape with hundreds of thousands of people if the enemy is too powerful and the defensive formation of the shop doesn't work in front of him, and you think the price of such a life-saving ability is insane! It is you who is insane, wanting to use such an amazing ability with the 1o energy points!"

"..."

Kadyn's expression became weird when he heard the explanation. "Err… so you mean I can teleport as many people as they can enter inside the shop?"

"Exactly!"

At this moment a bee entered the room and it transformed into a human form. Slyff eyed Kadyn and said. "Boss, you were right. Those bastards have no good intentions. They are planning something very vicious."
