Became a Munchkin Skill Thief

Episode 62 Death and Resurrection

He didn’t even have time to answer and ran across the room.

Because the academy dormitory was none other than Dorothy’s place.

After running and running like that, the academy dormitory where Aslan arrived was burning in the flames of the fire.

Some of the children who escaped could be seen suffering from burns or crying profusely.

But Dorothy was nowhere to be seen among them.

Aslan hurriedly found the one who seemed to be fine and asked.

「Hey. Dorothy, haven’t you seen a girl named Dorothy? She is a girl with transparent blue hair!”

「Do, Dorothy? That dropout?”

He seemed to know Dorothy, but he had a puzzled look on his face.

At that moment, a child raised his hand.

「I-I saw it. Because Dorothy saved that kid and me over there.”

The child, who appeared to be a student, said, pointing to the child who fainted from inhaling her smoke too much.

But Dorothy was nowhere to be seen.

「Do, Rossi?」

「Go inside to save more children…….”

As soon as he heard that, Aslan jumped into the entrance without anyone stopping him.

With a series of flame-stopping magic on his body, he ran through the burning flames.

The heat is hot even after using protection magic.

This flame, not a normal fire.

‘This is magic.’

Who the hell did this?

Did someone have a grudge against the academy?

Aslan, who did not attend the academy, did not know about that fact.

The only thing that is certain is that the one we need to find now is Dorothy.

「Dorothy! Dorothy, where are you!”

Aslan, avoiding the collapsing rubble, cried out in desperate search for Dorothy.

Basic magic was barely used.

I couldn’t stand it in this kind of fire.

After searching through the first floor, Aslan ran to the second and third floors before he knew it.

Realizing that, Aslan ran desperately in that direction with his body gaping.

「Get out of the way!」

Blue hair reflected in Aslan’s eyes as he blew away the collapsed rubble with magic.

Clear blue ice-like skin was peeking out between the frozen and flying ice hair.

The girl, half of her body made of ice, was desperately suppressing the magic circle of flames in front of her with ice.

And Aslan knew that girl well.

「Dorothy!」

With Aslan’s cry, Dorothy’s head turned this way.

When she met Aslan, her eyes changed bigger than ever before and she put on a puzzled expression.

「Ah, Aslan?」

Bewildered, not knowing why he was here, Dorothy was at a loss as she realized herself at the same time.

Aslan realized it as soon as he saw it.

Dorothy was no ordinary human being.

She was none other than a spirit.

Encroaching species cause people to have an instinctive antipathy.

Much less the spirits.

How the spirits were treated in the Ygritte family.

The atrocities committed by the spirits who contracted with the first spiritists were so great that they will be recorded in history.

Therefore, spirits were absolutely taboo for the Ygritte family.

Dorothy didn’t know that either.

When Dorothy’s head was filled with guilt and various thoughts that had deceived him until now.

Aslan felt a deeper sense of relief than ever before.

From noble mtl dot com

Because Dorothy was safe.

Aslan immediately jumped beside Dorothy.

Whether she was a spirit or not, it didn’t matter to Aslan.

She was Dorothy who got her life back.

「Aslan, are you stupid?! Dangerous! Get out now!”

Seeing Aslan like that, Dorothy let out a puzzled tone.

Whatever she looked like now, Dorothy hated Aslan in danger.

But that was true of Aslan as well.

「I just need to solve this.」

「Wait a minute, it’s dangerous!」

「Dorothy, I am Ygritte.」

Aslan approached the magic circle.

His face was hot in the heat, but he didn’t care and spread his hands together with his hands facing each other.

Then, magic circles that began to glow in his grasp began to appear one after another.

「Magic is my specialty.」

It was funny.

He was tired of magic last night, so it’s like saying he’s an expert in magic.

However, he was the only one who could stop this magic circle.

Seeing this, Dorothy’s eyes shook violently.

Even though he knew he was a spirit, her lips were bitten hard at the sight of him stepping out without hesitation.

「…… Aslan, I am a spirit. If you see me with you, you’ll be in big trouble.”

Maybe it’s not just a matter of family excommunication.

At the very least, the King of Flames, who cares deeply for his family, will never leave Aslan alone.

But even so, Aslan’s eyes remained unchanged.

「Yes.」

She just replied that she wanted to be with her very calmly enough to put up with it all.

Upon hearing Aslan’s sincerity, Dorothy clenched her fists.

「The person who started the arson this time was arson using the seed of the spirit. Normal magic cannot extinguish the flames. Of course, even spirits cannot block magic.”

A magic that is newly created using the seeds of the spirits sold in the background.

This magic was a forbidden magic that forced the power of the spirit inside the spirit seed to bloom.

The power is enormous, but spirit amplification magic close to world erosion created by forcibly sacrificing spirits.

Of course, the Ygritte family also went out to investigate those currently using such magic.

And so was Dorothy.

Dorothy was a special case that was close to human among spirits.

She was a new object created by the Spirit King’s Forest to respond to humans in the ever-evolving erosion of the world.

So she knew humans well, unlike common spirits who couldn’t understand human thinking.

No matter what the intention of the direction of evolution, she, who is similar to humans, naturally took an interest in humans.

Her magic in particular was her most interesting subject.

She wanted to learn such magic, so she entered the academy with the identity of a young wizard who had died for some reason in the Forest of the Spirit King.

And she realized one thing in the process.

She said that the young sorceress named Dorothy, who she used as her identity, was associated with a group that researched elemental amplification magic.

Upon learning of the incident, Dorothy watched the movement of the group.

And seeing that one of them was caught in the Ygritte family’s investigation and carried out a terrorist attack, they urgently tried to stop it.

Only then, Aslan saw the burning seeds inside the explosion magic circle.

Certainly, the energy of flame felt there was an energy that even Aslan could not interpret.

「I will suppress the spirit’s power.」

「I will cancel the magic.」

Dorothy and Aslan’s eyes met.

Both realized at the same time what each other had to do.

The two of them smiled at the same time in the burning flames.

And as soon as that smile passed, Dorothy and Aslan moved.

Dorothy’s cold force smothered the spirit’s flames.

In the meantime, Aslan immediately started canceling the magic circle.

The basis of the magic circle was explosion magic.

That’s high-level magic, too.

I could clearly feel the madness of how mad the arsonist was for magic.

It was a magic circle made of products of absurdly high knowledge, from the basic frame of ether to the ancient runes of Akasha.

‘Yeombyeong, you twisted it like an idiot. Is it Philosophus, at least a 5th circle mage?’

He himself is nothing more than Tioricus, a 3rd-circle mage.

A situation where there is a difference between the 2nd stage and the circle with the mage with the magic circle engraved on it.

It was a complicated magic circle that even made me feel the tenacity to execute this magic somehow.

To put it bluntly, just looking at Aslan made me feel dizzy.

However, his eyes and hands moved like crazy without any intention of stopping.

I know why Dorothy was suppressing this magic.

If this explodes, not only the academy dormitory but also the whole area will be blown away.

Dorothy knew that, and he was tenaciously suppressing the magic circle.

Because of that, Aslan had to be more careful in disarming the magic circle.

Situations that require both speed and accuracy.

It was an extreme situation where you had to run fast on a single tightrope that ended at the moment you sprained.

Dorothy’s cold is still pouring in real time. She

She’s doing well somehow, but she’s already been overdoing it since she came.

As evidence of that, Dorothy’s appearance was gradually becoming closer to that of a spirit.

The water dripping through her ice revealed her limits.

Time is running out.

A cold sweat began to form on Aslan’s forehead.

She felt sorry for herself, having neglected her magic for a while.

Because all the cool pretenders are having such a hard time solving the magic circle on one subject.

‘More, it has to be faster. More, definitely.’

But even so, his hands and eyes didn’t know how to stop.

Forcibly entered a super-concentrated state in order to completely disarm the magic circle with mental strength that had been poured to the limit.

Tuduk, tuk-

Perhaps because the power of the mana gathered in her eyes was too strong, blood began to flow from the corner of her eyes.

His eyes, which never blinked, didn’t know how to stop.

‘Damn it.’

Nevertheless, he keenly felt that his skills were lacking.

「Aslan.」

Then Dorothy’s voice came to his ears.

「I can do it. Because you can teach a fool like me.”

Now Dorothy, who has become a complete spirit, raised her chill even more.

「Because you are the greatest mage I know.」

There are people who believe in you.

That fact alone was enough for Aslan.

Aslan’s red eyes shone brighter than ever.

It’s like a sheep that has learned magic for this day.

In his bright eyes, the fingers moved as if drawing a melody.

Dozens of magic circles began to release from his fingertips one after another.

The blazing flames grew stronger, but Aslan’s hands continued to release the magic circle.

And just one last thing.

The moment we arrived in front of it.

His index finger touched the magic circle.

Crispy!

At that moment, the magic circle shattered like pieces of glass.

And start with it.

Hwaaagh!

The flames that filled the surroundings burned up in an instant and disappeared.

Toduk, toduk-

Parts of the burning building turned to ashes, and the sound of collapsing quietly echoed.

Inside, Aslan was breathing slowly along with the blood flowing down the Volga.

Aslan’s eyes turned sideways.

Maybe it’s because I used too much mana for accurate and quick release.

Not even a voice came out, and his eyes were blurry.

But even so, Dorothy was clearly reflected in his eyes.

Skin of translucent ice, snow that seemed to be studded with ice crystals just like the skin, and blue hair that seemed to be crafted one by one with ice.

A wide smile spread across Dorothy’s face beneath it.

「Aslan!」

I kept it.

That was enough.

The moment Aslan’s consciousness was about to be cut off.

Koo Goong!

The entire dormitory began to reverberate.

Because of the blazing fire, the pillars of the building eventually could not stand it and broke.

As a result, the entire dorm began to collapse.

This is the corner of the third floor.

The window is too far away to escape.

However, Aslan had reached his limit and was in a state of mana exhaustion.

His fingertips are not moving properly.

Nevertheless, Aslan stretched out his hand to embrace Dorothy, and Dorothy embraced Aslan first.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

At that moment, the dormitory building collapsed, sending black ash and smoke flying.

In the midst of that, Aslan let out a saliva with the sensation of falling down.

But there was no shock.

Between the rubble of the collapsed building, Dorothy froze around and barely prevented her from being crushed by the rubble.

But the real problem was next.

「What, what is that?」

「Monster, monster, monster!」

「It’s a spirit! There is a spirit!”

In the midst of his frenzy, Aslan felt a commotion coming from here and there.

It was the voices of the children who had evacuated to the front of the dormitory and the mages who came belatedly to extinguish the fire.

A variety of emotions poured out of their eyes, such as fear and hostility.

「It’s a hostage! They’re holding hostages!”

The mages shouted without knowing who suppressed the explosion.

I wanted to shout that it was a misunderstanding, but Aslan’s voice didn’t come out.

On the contrary, it was fortunate that I did not vomit blood.

There was no way my voice could come out.

Aslan’s eyes hurriedly turned to Dorothy.

We have to run away right now.

If Dorothy stayed here, she would become a target for the mage.

Dorothy knew that all too well.

But before she could move, her flames raged.

「Get away from my son!」

With a loud voice, the flames engulfed Dorothy in an instant.

Dorothy was also at her limit because she was suppressing her spirit amplification magic.

Of course, there was no way to avoid the flames.

Aslan and Dorothy’s eyes met.

In that brief moment, Dorothy laughed slowly, and Aslan’s eyes widened.

「No…… !”

That moment when the voice barely burst out as if squeezed.

[ Aslan, thank you. ]

With the voice echoing in her head, Dorothy pushed Aslan away.

Then the fire engulfed Dorothy.

In an instant, Dorothy was burned in the flames.

It was because the fire magic was too high level for her to endure.

「Ah, ah ah!」

Aslan, seeing the scene right in front of his eyes, coughed up blood and screamed at her.

Then, when he tried to run into the burning Dorothy, someone snatched Aslan’s arm before he did.

「Aslan! Are you okay. Because it’s okay now!”

She was none other than his mother, Aegasa.

She heard the news of the academy’s arson while investigating the mages who touched the taboo, and she came here in a hurry.

Fortunately, the culprit was caught.

The arsonist was none other than a professor at the academy.

The tail of the investigation was caught, and he finally expressed his madness in the academy dormitory.

She saw a spirit that seemed to be attacking Aslan, where the child who arrived was living, and she determined that the spirit was another spirit prepared by the arsonist.

She wanted to save Aslan, so she immediately burned her elemental with all her might.

However, Aegasa’s situation meant nothing to Aslan.

Dorothy is burning.

That was the only problem for him.

The moment she pushed herself at the end, her laugh came to mind vividly.

「Do, Rossi… ….”

Calling that name finally broke Aslan’s mind, who couldn’t overcome mana exhaustion.

And that day was the day Aslan was destroyed.

But now, Aslan came all this way to meet Dorothy again.

The other day, she lost her will to live and chose to commit suicide because she thought she couldn’t get Dorothy back, and she felt sorry for herself.

From noble mtl dot com

She had to struggle over and over again to bring her back to life.

He hated himself for wanting to die because he had been saved by Dorothy and couldn’t find her way.

“Sure.”

Aslan opened his lips in the water and shouted at the brightly shining egg of the Spirit King.

“Dorothy, let’s meet again.”

Because I will regret the days I gave up over and over again and atone for it.

Let’s meet again, Aslan said, swallowing her tears.

Because she hasn’t heard the answer that day yet.

At that moment, the entire lake was enveloped in a halo of light.

In the bright halo of light, the spirit king’s egg that Aslan embraced began to slowly crack.

Soon, the moment Aslan slowly lifted the egg from his hand, all the lights gathered at the Spirit King’s egg.

Sarak-

Transparent blue hair fluttered in front of Aslan’s eyes.

Aslan’s eyes opened the widest they’ve ever seen.

The girl floating in her water trembled and slowly recalled her closed eyes.

After seeing that, Aslan laughed slowly, even in the lake, with tears streaming down his face.

“Dorothy.”

“Oh, Slan?”

Her Aslan’s arms stretched out and embraced her.

With the promise to never lose her again, deeply engraved in his heart.

Her reunion with her was the moment when Aslan hoped to live her life again.

And Krashu came into his mind.

He who is a benefactor to himself is now confronting his grandfather.

“Dorothy, I will explain later.”

I have to leave immediately.

＊ ＊ ＊

Chaeyeeng!

Inside the resounding sword.

Krashu was busy moving his eyes.

It was because he was tenaciously cutting off dozens of fires flying at him with his sixth sense and dull sword.

And in front of him was Adolf, who looked very relaxed.

Adolf was strong, befitting his reputation as one of the ten strongest.

I didn’t think that Krashu would be able to win in the first place.

If Adolf was sincere, Krashu would have been finished long ago.

This was a situation that Adolf could come up against because he had a serious calculation that he wouldn’t do it.

‘But I mean.’

Krashu took a big step back as he slashed all the flying fireballs.

‘That laid-back attitude pisses people off.’

It was only meant to buy time until Aslan could resurrect Dorothy.

Looking at that face, I think I need to change my mind.

I understand why Aslan hated and resented Adolf so much.

I’ve been dealing with him for a short while and I’m like this, but it’s natural for Aslan to suffer every day.

That’s why I wanted to give them a big bite.

[ Krashu. ]

At that moment, Crimson Garden’s voice was heard.

[ The spirit has been revived. ]

And that was enough momentum to break through Krashu’s limit.
