After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me - After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 33

33 – Elixir

The cleanup was completed quickly.

“Whoa.”

A thick layer of water vapor spreads through a hole in the ceiling.

Sylvia stared blankly at Ian as he wiped away the sweat from his forehead.

‘……’

I didn’t even have the energy to admire anything anymore.

“Why are you bruised? Let’s go. There will be only water left.”

“…Ah? Yes!”

The boss monster probably absorbed all the mana, so let’s not worry about her. Sylvia recklessly followed Ian as he walked while saying that.

Because it is difficult for her to imagine that this person did something wrong with her.

We arrived at the central vacant lot after struggling through the lowered water level.

Due to the thick steam, the scenery was rather dreary.

That moment.

—

A sound like something being crushed came from the ground.

“Ian, just…!”

—

The ground shakes finely.

Creepy sounds getting closer.

Something is coming up from the ground.

— Koo Goo Goo Goo!

The trembling earth.

And a growing presence.

An intuition that warns of infinitely dangerous and ominous things.

— Quagga gagagak!

The ground explodes.

Between the scattered dirt and gravel, a huge monster appeared.

It is a plant that looks like a flytrap.

Just.

The trunk is comparable to the pillars of a building, and the size of both leaves is huge enough to swallow dozens of people at once.

— Hard!

With a harsh noise, he ravenously opened both leaves.

The sharp thorns sprouting from the tips of the leaves looked like dozens of swords.

Sylvia involuntarily took a few steps back at that hideous appearance.

“Ah…”

A wobbly leg.

All she can do is hold on to her leg strength, which is about to unravel at best.

It’s not because of the appearance.

It is because of the response to Manawa felt inside his body.

It is a being that has been coiling deep underground and devouring mana.

The traces of all kinds of mana felt in his stomach were enough to create an illusion as if countless corpses of wizards were piled up.

Instinctive rejection as a wizard.

“Ugh…”

Sylvia managed to swallow her vomit.

Even though her stomach and mental strength belonged to the top of the academy.

She muttered to her Ian.

“…It’s a level 6 or higher monster. I feel like a level 5 entry. It’s not an opponent that two cadets can easily deal with…”

Suddenly Sylvia stopped her words.

It was because Ian, whom she thought was stiff, was slightly raising the corner of her mouth.

‘… You’re not nervous?’

◆

‘Ah. Looks delicious.’

Ian couldn’t stand the corner of her mouth that kept going up.

No. That will be too.

The energy I feel inside him.

Those are all refined mana.

Magi may be mixed in a bit, but you can purify it.

‘Great…’

Gulp.

Swallowing, Ian looked at the boss in front of her.

[ Mana Hell (Level 5 Dangerous Species, Huge, Toxic) ]

— It is a monster that swallows and digests magical bodies passing by with vicious leaves. If the surrounding mana is sufficient, the leaves may degenerate using only the roots. If processed well, the by-products seem to be put to good use.

If you were in the middle of a game, you would have come up with an information window like this.

In short, it is a super-giant flytrap. It only absorbs mana instead of flies.

The reason I decided to attack him was because he gave me a lot of very useful rewards.

In addition, as long as the conditions are met, the difficulty level is easy.

The only thing I’m worried about is Sylvia, who was overwhelmed by his level.

“Sylvia. As I said earlier…”

“Yes. I will do exactly that.”

The gun returned to Sylvia’s eyes before she knew it.

After all, the ether class is ether.

Ian nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, Sylvia was only determined to trust Ian. Because Ian knew Frost Bear’s weaknesses. If you can attack the weak point appropriately, the monster’s attack difficulty will drop by one or two levels. With that thought in mind, Sylvia stood behind Ian.

“Then let’s go.”

In an instant, Lunar covered Ian’s body.

Ian, who ran away with a strengthened body, arrives near Mana Hell.

Kiririk A moving mana leaf of hell.

“Sylvia. Please use the brightest possible.”

“Yes!”

– Paaah!

Lighting magic bursts from Sylvia’s fingertips.

In an instant, the surroundings became as bright as broad daylight.

– Gooooo!

A mana hell that glows as if it has received sunlight gathered through a magnifying glass.

Those who live in such a shady place are bound to be filled with demonic energy.

Divine power and light.

These two special elements significantly decrease their judgment, vision, and reaction speed.

Perfect debuff.

It was also the reason Ian brought Sylvia here.

– Wow!

The big leaf of a bastard stuck in the wrong ground.

Ian quickly got on top of it.

The reddish flesh of the bastard’s sheep leaves is revealed.

Demonic energy erupts from the inside.

Mana Hell’s main attack pattern, eruption of acid demonic energy.

Originally, it is a digestive juice that is poisonous enough to completely melt the human body.

— Chiyiik!

It was impossible to touch Ian’s body when he turned the Lunar around his body to wash the dishes, which was his power.

“It’s nothing, bastard.”

A leaf of mana hell that closes again in an instant.

The sword-like thorns sprouted from the tip and stabbed Ian sharply.

“Huh.”

– Whoo!

An expected pattern.

I took a step back and avoided it.

At the same time, release the Lunar clothing mode leaving only the necessary parts.

From noble mtl dot com

The Lunar magic wand returned to bat size.

I swung it with all my might.

— aaang!

A light impact sound.

The thorny teeth of the scattering one.

— Kihehehe!

The two leaves that were closed were opened.

The weak point of Mana Hell is the red flesh inside the leaves.

“Sylvia. Now!”

“Yes!”

4-Star attack magic. Light reflection.

Numerous beams of light converge at one point, as if passing through a magnifying glass, and plunge straight into the mana hell.

— Kheheheh!

A guy’s flesh burning with a horrifying scream.

Ian hurriedly flung himself inside, and thrust his fist into the very center of his flesh.

— Whoops!

The drooping Mana Hell collided with the ground with a heavy crash.

Ian opened his closed leaf and came out.

Sylvia’s eyes round in surprise.

“Job, got it… A level 5 endangered species.”

“You suffered too. Things were good.”

No matter how much the leaves degenerate, a 5th grade endangered species is a 5th grade endangered species.

Thanks to the purification of the mana-filled lake, the mana hell focused on absorbing pure mana, and while absorbing it, her bastard couldn’t get the full power it had.

Natural strategy like flowing water.

That’s how good the situation was.

“Things were good. What was that… No more than that, Mr. Ian, what the hell are you…”

Sylvia muttered excitedly.

It’s still too early to be surprised.

Ian walked towards the stem of the flytrap in silence.

Then it blew out its mana and dug up the ground.

The root of the flytrap that catches your eye.

“Do you have anything like a saw or sword?”

“Now, wait a minute.”

— Beep.

I hear the sound of something sawing.

Ian, holding a few round pearls, came up from the root.

Sylvia’s eyes widen.

“…That, that’s not possible.”

“Yes. Mana Elixir.”

Smile.

The corner of Ian’s mouth went up as he answered.

A mana hell that has absorbed mana from the mountain range for hundreds of years.

A natural elixir that contains naturally absorbed and refined mana in crystal form.

Ian held out one of the five spheres in her hand to Sylvia.

“Come on.”

“…You said you’d give me? I’m sure you’ve decided to take only the stems and thorns of Mana Hell. Mr. Ian will take the rest.”

“That’s right.”

But she can’t absorb five elixirs by herself anyway.

Only one elixir is effective for each type.

You can destroy the efficiency and eat a lot, but there is no reason to do that.

“Take it. You know how much this will help you.”

Sylvia bites her lip.

“However, if I receive it, what should I do with the compensation? I am the heir and a minor shareholder, but I don’t have that much personal property.

“What are you so worried about? Pay in installments. With interest.”

“Oh.”

Sylvia pursed her lips and nodded her head.

She is also a student at Lichten Academy.

You can’t easily give up on an opportunity to grow.

Of course, I intend to receive the principal and interest.

“Eat right when you get back.”

Sylvia nodded quietly and opened her mouth.

“Why are you being so nice to me? Like last time… Of course I’ll repay you, but what’s left of you?”

A really curious voice.

At her question, Ian paused for a moment.

“What’s left?”

“Yes.”

Of course, this is only a deal.

She’s earning Sylvia’s money even while her Ian is selling things that aren’t important to her.

In a word, it is a win-win situation for both Ian and Sylvia.

But that’s not what her question meant.

Why are you so kind to yourself? That would be a question in that context.

Why give yourself the opportunity to buy this special thing first. The reason for giving her the opportunity to buy her information even when her frost bear.

You may be wondering why.

Ian replied to Sylvia who looked this way seriously.

Because it was clear what was left.

“You.”

“…Me?”

Item? Information? Money?

Those things are all important.

However, it is more valuable than that to owe debt to someone who knows your network and gratitude.

Especially if that person is certain to succeed in the future.

Thus, the stake of the character Sylvia Laurent remains with Ian.

“Yes. You stay.”

Ian was infinitely honest.

◆

The next day.

Chapter 1, the morning of the beginning of the first act.

Hot steam gushes out of Ian’s body as he sits cross-legged.

“Whoa.”

Ian, who had perfectly digested one pill of Mana Hell, stood up.

His mana, which he had absorbed and refined for hundreds of years, doubled the pure earth mana that Ian had accumulated in Danjeon.

Now, the amount of mana the size of a child’s fist.

If the by-products obtained from Mana Hell are processed and used as weapons, will it be worth trying with the main villain of Act 1, who was selected as an unexpected person?

“Hmm.”

Ian remembered the attack she had received on her some time ago. An attack that completely neutralized even a fully-charged Lunar in a single blow.

Lina Roswell, the owner of the attack and the main villain of the first act scenario.

“It’s worth a try.”

Sir.

The corner of Ian’s mouth went up.
