quicksilver blood

Chapter 206 True and False

"An Ruosi? An Ruosi..."

A familiar voice came from beside his ears, and his body was shaken slightly.

An Ruosi's consciousness quickly returned from the silent darkness.

He opened his eyes suddenly, with a little fear still remaining in his eyes.

But just after An Ruosi saw the world in front of him clearly, he was suddenly stunned.

"...Esther? You're not..."

"what?"

Esther looked dazed.

"...No, nothing."

An Ruosi suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and swallowed the words stuck in his throat.

Maybe what I saw before was just a dream?

When An Ruosi had this idea in his mind, his impression of the horror he had just seen faded rapidly.

Ah, it really was a dream.

After making sure that he was safe, An Ruosi was overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

...Probably because of the sudden depletion of mana.

An Ruosi felt the empty magic power in his blood, and slightly loosened his frown just now.

But I had exhausted my mana before... I obviously didn't feel so uncomfortable at that time.

An Ruosi ignored the question that suddenly popped up in his heart.He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

After the heartbeat returned to normal, An Ruosi felt a sudden throbbing pain in his heart.

Unconsciously, he pressed his hands tightly to his chest.Pain made him curl up in a ball.

"What's the matter with you? An Ruosi?"

Esther's face became serious, he supported An Ruosi's shoulder, and made An Ruosi sit up.

An Ruosi just held his chest tightly and shook his head lightly. To prevent his chest from being affected, he could only make a very slight sound: "No, no... hiss..."

An Ruosi couldn't help taking a breath.His right hand moved from his chest to his forehead at once, holding his hair tightly.

He has taken into account as much as possible what might happen to him.

But it still didn't work - just shaking his head, An Ruosi felt as if some foreign object was rolling in his head.

At the same time, a nauseating feeling came from his stomach.

The illusion that some kind of foreign body is sealed in the brain.

The illusion that the intestines have been churned indiscriminately.

The illusion of being stabbed in the heart with a sharp cone.

An Ruosi had never felt that his condition would be so bad.Even if he died suddenly the next moment, he would not feel the slightest doubt.

——It was as if I was already half dead, but was dragged back by life.

...But, if it's just overdraft of magic power, will it be such a pain?

He had just had this idea in his mind, and before he could remember to say it, Esther's apologetic voice came quietly from his ear: "That... An Ruosi? Are you okay? Is your heart okay?"

"...What's wrong with me? Hiss..."

Just as An Ruosi was about to raise his head, there was a crashing sound in his head, which made him let out a suppressed cry of pain.

"It's all my fault. I teleported you here but didn't calculate your position." Esther sighed guiltily. "As a result, you appeared directly in the "Nightmare of Evil" and "Exhaustion". On the edge of the trap..."

Ha...that's bad luck.

Unprepared, he directly encountered two six-ring witchcraft...

So, you are lucky that you didn't die?
An Ruosi couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this.

"Drink it."

At this moment, an extremely cold voice came from behind him.

……woman?
A burst of curiosity suddenly appeared in An Ruosi's mind.

An Ruosi didn't dare to look back because he was afraid that he would feel another sharp pain when he twisted his head.

As if understanding his thoughts, the person behind him handed over a certain metal bottle in his hand in a considerate manner.

The metal bottle appeared to be a slender copper-yellow metal cylinder.About a palm long, less than three fingers in diameter, and covered with runes.

It looks a lot like the ancient Elcate text.

...What could be in this?
An Ruosi took the cylinder, showing a puzzled look.

Esther picked it up with ease, held both ends of the cylinder with both hands and turned it gently, and a smaller cylinder suddenly protruded from one side.There is also a delicate crystal cover on it.

Esther directly took off the upper cover and pointed it at An Ruosi: "Come on, open your mouth."

With absolute trust in Esther, An Ruosi opened his mouth directly.

With the injection of some kind of liquid, An Ruosi obviously felt his spirit improve rapidly.

New mana is generated quickly.The twitching intestines were smoothed out, the severe pain in the heart disappeared, and even the foreign body sensation in the forehead was quickly resolved, and finally disappeared without a trace.

... This feeling is like Mr. Roland's harmless chant.

Inexplicably, such a thought appeared in An Ruosi's mind.

"Thanks, Esther."

An Ruosi shook his head, completely shook off the last trace of discomfort, and showed a grateful look at Esther: "I owe you one more time."

"fine……"

Esther pushed his glasses, and before he finished speaking, a cold voice with a touch of sarcasm interrupted him: "He has been like this since before. I advise you better not to trust him, or you will be caught by him sooner or later." He lied to death without a whole body."

"What are you talking about, Erka..."

Esther showed a helpless expression.

Seeing Esther's seldom smile, An Ruosi became very curious about the person behind him.

Without the constraint of a headache, An Ruosi turned his head this time without hesitation.

But the moment he saw the person behind him clearly, An Ruosi's eyes widened.

What caught his eyes was a beautiful black-haired girl.

But An Ruosi was not amazed by her beauty - the reason why he showed such a surprised look was because the girl in front of him was not the same as Anvilia except for the color and length of her hair. any difference.

"Oh?"

As if understanding what An Ruosi was marveling at, the girl behind her sneered mockingly.

"It looks like you, little thing, have you ever seen Anvilia?"

"Yeah... I just got out of Ms. Anvilia."

An Ruosi admitted without any cover-up.

"This is a friend of mine, you can call her Elcardo," Esther said softly from behind An Ruosi at this time, "I originally wanted to call you over to see if I could use what I taught you... …witchcraft, breaking a lock she made."

"Because the witchcraft I taught you was only learned from others. I am neither an inventor nor an improver, and I am not proficient. If I came by myself, it would definitely not be possible."

Esther showed An Ruosi a wry smile mixed with expectations: "If you can do it, it means that I did not teach the wrong people—at least in this witchcraft, you have already surpassed me."

"...But, judging by your current state, I think it's better to forget it."

"No, please let me try."

An Ruosi shook his body at this moment and stood up.

His eyes were full of determination.

"Please let me try," he repeated, "I've almost recovered now. I think it should be fine -"

"...That's it."

Esther showed a look of joy.

The black-haired girl known as Elucard showed an unconcealed mocking smile.
