chapter 31
031. Wow. Can’t say I planned this
A white swan floating gracefully on the lake. The look is really beautiful.
But that beauty isn’t just created.
A swan’s feet constantly moving beneath the surface of the water.
Invisible Endless Effort!
It’s a story that teaches a lesson that you have to constantly work hard to live in style.
But when I hear this story, I have a question.
‘Do I really have to do those kicks?’
Beautiful sweat and passion.
Efforts not to give up.
It’s also a story about guys with ‘talent’.

Most of them end up in despair despite their efforts.
‘In the first place, swans don’t even kick to float.’
What makes swans float on water is their ‘natural’ feathers.
The reason swans look elegant in the first place is because they look elegant.
All were natural talents.
It’s a mistaken lesson, and it’s a useless story.
That’s not to say there isn’t anything to learn here.
‘Don’t put too much effort into it, just bring talented kids and use them. They become the swan’s feet.’
The result was ‘the descent of an angel’.
Leon’s acting skills and Siri’s control.
[Release the control of the wings and switch to divine power.]
It was Siri, not Leone, who was constantly stirring her feet.
‘This is it. This is a swan.’
Siri plays the role of the foot under the water.
The lofty figure on the water is Rion.
This was the swan that Leone thought of.
“Okay. everything is fine.”
“Ahh… … .”
The effect was a great success.
[Skill: Consolation succeeded.]
[The persuasion target is convinced.]
[The persuasion target agrees.]
The consolation that only succeeds after trying dozens or hundreds of times hits the mark.
As I was about to enter full-scale treatment, the notification window I had been waiting for popped up.
[Mission: Unleash the curse of the soul heir.]
[If the mission fails, destruction will be accelerated.]
‘great. The mission also appeared. Start right away!’
[Analyze the curse through fairy tales.]
It was up to Siri to analyze and cure the curse.
Through the divine power covering the grandmother’s body, she identified the curse within her body.
[Confirm the curse.]
Siri was the one who moved the divine power, but the owner of that divine power was Leon.
Of course, the existence of the curse was felt as it was.
‘… … crazy.’
It wasn’t that I couldn’t break the curse even before returning.
‘What kind of curse is this?’
Her body was full of curses. There was only one way to solve this.
‘What do you think? Can you sign up as a member?’

Membership registration requires several conditions.
[Having the same faith.]
[Sacred power user.]
[A relationship of perfect trust.]
[Explain the cost of the skill to the target.]

Most of the conditions were fine, but… … .
Only one, the second condition was a problem.
‘Sacred power user.’
Because of the curse, she was unable to use divine power.
But thanks to Siri, a new path has been opened.
[It is impossible to register as a member, but it is possible if you only move branches.]
‘······Can’t see the effect of membership registration?’
[That’s right.]
It was possible to plant an eggplant, which is a lump of divine power, rather than signing up as a member.
It was like spreading divine power.
‘It’s cheap if you can get the blade of dawn with the divine power that can be collected again. Let’s not regret this.’
[you’re right. There are many ways to recover divine power.]
Thanks to Siri, the spirit of faith, restoring divine power was not a big problem.
‘I have debts to pay off.’
Although he sometimes forgets favors, the debt he owed to the grandmother was not a favor to be forgotten.
As Leone made her decision, Siri began to explain.
[Unfortunately, this is impossible with just one branch.]
‘Can’t use just one?’
[Yes. No matter how big the branches are, the curse spreading throughout the body cannot be helped.]
A curse that densely fills the entire body. It wasn’t something that could be solved with a single twig.
There was no need to complicate it.
‘If not one, but several?’
If one twig does not work, it is enough to hit several branches.
If quality fails, quantity wins!
Ciri hesitated for a moment at Leon’s words, but soon came up with an answer.
[…] … both arms and legs. head. chest. If you plant trees in a total of six places, you can’t lift the curse, but you can suppress it.]
I didn’t even expect it to be resolved in an instant.
That was enough.
‘great. Because I was prepared for such a loss. Let’s proceed.’
The branches of the tree in the chest were cut off. When six of them were cut off, one side looked blank.
There was no need to regret it.
I had to be bold to invest here.
[A problem has occurred.]
‘At this timing?’
[It is impossible to plant branches because of the curse.]
‘What is the solution?’
[You must offset the curse of the space where the tree will be planted with holy power.]
It meant to purify a part of the place where the tree was planted with divine power.
‘Is it possible?’
[It is possible if you create a momentary void by investing enormous divine power.]
If so, there is a good way.
‘How about using a club?’
[ah! Perfect!]
It wasn’t completely extinguishing the curse. You just need to secure the land where the trees will be planted.
For that purpose, the club is the medicine.
“Aye. Do you believe me?”
“I believe!”
Rion took out the club from her waist and injected holy power into it.
– Booung.
Her eyes widened as divine beams erupted from the club.
“This is the sword of faith.”
Aura Blades cannot be used in this way either.
A skill she has never seen before even after living for a long time.
It was truly the power of an angel.
“You who open the dawn!”
Her faith grew stronger.
“This is the sword that will cut off your curse.”
“Ahh······.”
She started to weep tears of joy.
“Your faith will allow you to reach the curse.”
“You mean my faith?”
“This is the sword of faith. It is a sword that cuts with the power of your faith.”
Of course, it was possible without faith, but Leon started selling drugs.
“I believe. I believe in Rion, the one who opens the dawn, and I believe in the angel who resides in Rion.”
“If even a part of the curse is cut, your faith is proven.”
“It will be cut.”
proof of faith.
If the curse is removed, she will be convinced of her faith.
Confidence makes faith stronger.
Faith is closely related to divine power. The greater the faith, the better.
‘Let’s start right away.’
At Leon’s words, Ciri started pouring divine power into the club.
A huge amount of divine power escaped from Leon’s body.
‘Wow. Was it possible to move all at once like this?’
It was an operation that was incomparable to Leon’s handling of divine power.
Besides, it wasn’t just moving.
It gathered and condensed that enormous divine power.
A divine ray that radiates divine light, not just light.
This was possible because of Siri’s sophisticated control and talent.
‘Let’s start with the chest first!’
Simultaneously with his thoughts, Leon opened his mouth.
“Aye. I pray that your curse will be cleansed.”
Leone stabbed a divine ray into her chest.
“aa!”
A roar of joy erupted from the grandmother.
A curse that had bound him for a long time.
I felt that the curse had disappeared, albeit a little.
‘Hey Siri! Plant a tree!’
Where the curse disappeared, a branch of a tree settled down.
“… … this is?!”
Joy turned to horror.
She, who could not accept any energy because of the curse, felt the divine energy rising from within her body.
This was a ‘miracle’.
“It will be easier to breathe now.”
As the tree settled in my heart, there was a ‘space’ free from curses.
“Ahh! I feel like I can finally breathe! It’s as if the stone in my chest has disappeared!”
“Your faith only guided the way.”
“You who open the dawn! I believe! Thank you for proving my faith!”
She wept and cried out to Leon.
‘Wow. The next step is worship.’
What she said was not a joke.
“I believe. You who open the dawn! I give my all!”
The atmosphere was good, but things weren’t so good right away.
‘Is it consuming too much divine power?’
Unexpectedly, the consumption of divine power was great. Leone’s tree was rapidly getting smaller.
‘Let’s speed up. Siri!’
[If you poke it, I will plant a tree right away.]
Leon immediately jumped into action.
“Your hands are bound by a curse.”
poking her hands
“Your feet stopped because of the curse.”
poking her feet
“Your head cannot dream because of a curse.”
stabbed her in the head
“All I can give you is a little freedom.”
A change occurred when the twigs nestled in her body.
A dazzling light began to emanate from her body.
‘What’s this?’
[…] … I am figuring it out.]
It didn’t seem like Siri meant it.
‘Isn’t that a bad thing?’
[That’s right. Separate branches are resonating with each other.]
‘resonance?’
It was the first time I had planted several twigs on a person’s body in the first place.
The change did not end here.
[Faith is rapidly increasing.]
‘really? Is this worth taking?’
[You made an excellent choice. Faith is strengthening the divine power.]
‘Oh oh! really?’
The things that I had put on the medicine that I used to do, were so helpful.
[The divine power is growing.]
The arrangement was working perfectly.
[The divine power is growing.]
Well.
There was nothing bad about the increased divine power.
[The divine power is growing.]
‘… … Isn’t this a bit excessive?’
[Continues to grow.]
‘crazy! Doesn’t this just explode?’
The dazzling light was also a story.
It was so dazzling that it seemed like it would blind your eyes.
[Divine power… … It’s safe.]
‘Why are you suffocating! Even me is anxious!’
Even if the divine power increases, it should increase moderately, it was natural to be anxious at this point.
[The gathered divine power is creating a path.]
Fortunately, the divine power did not explode. The divine power was cutting a path through her body.
‘this… … Could it be that the road connects the trees?’
[you’re right.]
A path connecting 6 trees.
Divine power was moving to create that path.
‘You can only pave the way with that much divine power?’
All of the divine power that had gathered like it was bursting was consumed to push the curse away and pave the way.
From the perspective of Leon, it was just a ‘road’, but it was not a simple road.
[The chest and head are connected.]
‘uh. I’m watching too. What does this do?’
[The divine power is being amplified.]
‘What?’
As the trees were connected, the divine power began to amplify.
When all the trees were connected, divine power began to flow through the path.
‘Sleep, hold on. Isn’t this the knight’s mana rod!?’
[Amplification of energy through circulation. It matches the mana rod.]
Like Leon’s ‘Divine Power Circle’, Grandma completed the ‘Divine Power Rod’.
‘crazy.’
Leon thought he couldn’t be more surprised.
But more surprises remained.
[Her faith is exploding.]
‘Why again!?’
[If you make a mana rod with holy power, I think I’ll have faith that I didn’t have.]
‘however… … yes?’
[That’s right.]
This wasn’t a drug or an intentional belief.
It was just a coincidence.
‘I don’t know. what is this… … .’
At that time, the old woman who had closed her eyes opened them.
“My god. You who open the dawn I will serve you, I will worship you, and I will live for you.”
She knelt down towards Leon.
Leon couldn’t answer her words.
‘What is this again… … .’
Divine power began to fill Leon’s body.
The holy power was being dedicated by the grandmother.
