The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 46

‘At least it will take years of waiting.’

And after that much time, Kayla will have no choice but to get tired.

‘Athena and I will continue to grow.’

Relative deprivation.

It can lead to despair.

If you are consumed by a sense of powerlessness and depression… it may be too late to fix your legs.

That’s why I planned to do my best on this attempt to maximize the probability, and in the meantime, I wanted to make her expect as little as possible in case of unforeseen circumstances.

So I didn’t explain how much I cared about this, how miraculous it was to have such an opportunity at this time, and how much longer I would have to wait if it didn’t work out this time.

Even so, Kayla was not a fool, so she realized that this was a great opportunity based on the period of preparation I was making, my appearance, and the herbs used.

That’s why she was cooperating so hard that she was even sacrificing her own body, and her appearance was a burden to me.

‘Of course, I’m not going to collapse just because it’s a burden.’

“And even if you fail, there will be another chance. Don’t bet everything on this. Be relaxed.”

“…I understand. It won’t be easy, but if you say so….”

“Get some rest for now and start again.”

In the end, after some persuasion, I managed to get her to rest.

While Kayla was resting, I connected the blue root of Trenessey she had received to the place where Denok’s body was contained.

The surrounding magic circle began to glow faintly, and mana flowed out of the root, which was stained with Kayla’s mana, and began to seep into Denok’s body.

The goal was to make Denok’s body completely soaked in the blue root of Trenessey, which was filled with Kayla’s mana.

‘I’ll just have Kayla ingest what I’m making now.’

If you infuse mana into yourself like this, the absorption will be better, but it will be impossible to make it into a better elixir through the recipe.

Since the spirit grass itself had changed, it was impossible to create an improved elixir with the existing recipe.

I had to create a specialized one, but the original elixir recipe wasn’t something that could be made easily.

There were many failures involved, so creating a personal recipe was a huge waste of time and money.

It would be better to buy some elixirs with that money.

Some spirit grasses had strong attributes, so even just dyeing them could cause great damage.

However, the situation was a bit different now.

The effect of the elixir was less important than making Denok’s body effectively assimilate into Kayla’s.

To that end, I intentionally created a situation where he was affected by the same spirit grass, adding variables so that they could have at least something in common.

In addition to the previous preparation, I added variables through the elixir.

Even with that, I couldn’t guarantee success.

The problem didn’t end there.

There could also be physical rejection, so I prepared for that by slowly assimilating him over time.

‘The first month is the problem.’

I planned to steadily give him suppressants during that time to keep Denok’s body from rebelling.

If he showed rejection despite the suppressants… it would be a failure.

Still, since I was applying the method of creating chimeras, if I could get through the first month without any problems, it could be considered a success.

I finished making the elixir for Ahtina while Kayla was sleeping, and then I started creating the suppressants that would be used later.

Kayla woke up and asked me when she saw me still working.

“You told me to rest…Aren’t you tired?”

“I’m okay, the specter is giving me energy. It’s bearable.”

Of course, that didn’t mean I could skip sleep. There was a limit to how much I could recover through energy drain.

No matter how much I recovered, if I didn’t sleep, my fatigue would build up and I would get mentally exhausted, so I had to get some sleep.

“Now that you’re awake… do you know?”

I reminded her of what she had to do to stop her from complaining, and Kayla skipped over it even though she knew.

As I managed her schedule and focused on my work, four days passed, and I succeeded in completely dyeing the second blue root in Kayla’s mana.

Denok’s body had almost completely absorbed the mana from the first root.

‘The preparations… are almost done.’

Is it because I reached Class 3? I feel like something that would have taken longer is going much faster than expected.

The parts that I had to do should have taken longer, but the time frame was significantly reduced.

I told Kayla to focus on maintaining her condition for the time being and not do anything, and then I cut off some of the second root she had dyed and had her absorb it little by little over the course of several days.

This would reduce the efficacy of the elixir, but as I said earlier, the efficacy of the elixir was secondary.

The most important thing was to heal her legs.

Thanks to this, her mana increased slightly, but more importantly, the medicinal effects of the blue root circulated through her body.

‘The pre-preparation… is done.’

The suppressants were also ready, and within a few days, Denok’s body had absorbed all the mana from the first root.

On the day we promised to attempt the fusion, I looked at Kayla lying on the fusion table and said,

“It’s going to hurt a lot.”

“I’m prepared.”

I would have liked to put her to sleep, but I couldn’t control Kayla’s mana for her.

There were things that Kayla had to do during the fusion process, so she had to endure the pain with a clear mind and follow my instructions.

“As I said, you’re going to consume all that remains of the second root. If you continue to absorb it through the Mana Breathing technique, the synthesis will start midway.”

Once the synthesis begins, Kylea’s body will start to absorb Denok’s body, and that process will be incredibly painful.

Her original body will disappear and be replaced by Denok’s body. Her outward appearance won’t change, but her insides will be replaced.

This has to be successful. I’ve made many preparations, but if Kylea’s body rejects it… .

‘It will be a complete failure.’

The problem is that even if this succeeds, it’s not the end.

“If you succeed in this process… You have to accept and control the mana inside Denok’s body, Kylea. … Think of it as consuming two elixirs at once.”

In fact, consuming two elixirs at once is dangerous.

And you’re not just consuming any elixirs, but two elixirs containing enough mana that even the high nobles and royalty would covet them.

I tell her, showing her the danger.

From noble mtl dot com

“So don’t get greedy. It’s okay to waste most of it. What’s important is… .”

“Healing my leg… . “I understand.”

Erase anything else since that’s the only purpose.

I cast the spell like that.

“Then let’s begin.”

At my words, Kylea swallows the second root whole.

Then she closes her eyes and starts concentrating.

The refreshing scent of mana flows out over her whole body.

After some time passes, I start to move as well.

“Whew… .”

A pained moan escapes Kylea’s parted lips.

I carve a small magic circle on her ankle with a knife.

Magic seeps into the wound, solidifying its form, and as the magic seeps into her body, Kylea’s mana resists, trying to push it out, causing intense pain.

‘It can’t be contaminated.’

I didn’t pour that much magic into it. It was a small amount, just enough to maintain the magic circle on her skin, so this much was fine.

After carving the magic circle as quickly as I could, I activate the chimera synthesis magic circle carved on the floor.

The magic circle starts to glow with a crimson light, and I grab a hold of Denok’s body, which I had prepared.

“Let’s begin.”

Kylea’s forehead wrinkles.

“Ugh, uugh, whew!”

Kylea lets out a pained moan.

Her body was trembling, as if she was in unimaginable pain.

But I didn’t have the luxury to mind Kylea’s pain.

I had to constantly check for abnormalities in the process, make sure no variables arose, and focus on providing magic to the magic circle and checking the progress.

Denok’s body slowly melts and is absorbed into the magic circle carved on Kylea’s ankle.

“Keugh, whew! Ugh! Keugh!”

‘A little more… .’

So far, it was going well.

Fortunately, Kylea was holding up well, and her body wasn’t rejecting Denok’s body.

How much time passed? Finally, Denok’s body, which I had been holding, disappeared, and Kylea’s screams gradually began to die down.

‘So far… success.’

But this was only the first hurdle.

“Focus!”

From here on out, it was Kyla’s turn.

The fact that the absorption was complete meant that Denok’s body had been properly seated at Kyla’s feet.

From now on, she had to properly absorb the mana inside Denok’s body like she was drinking a potion, and fill it with her own mana to control it properly.

I looked at Kyla with a nervous expression.

“Ugh, uhh, hngg… .”

Kyla still looked like she was struggling, as if remnants of pain still lingered.

Even so, she didn’t give up.

Her body was drenched in sweat, and the intense scent of man emanated from her whole body.

It was a pity, considering that most of it was mana that she couldn’t absorb, but as I said before, that wasn’t important.

Then, at one point.

Kyla’s painful writhing stopped, and the scent of mana flowing from her body suddenly appeared.

“… Kyla?”

She didn’t move.

At that moment.

Thud.

Thud, thud!

Her body bulged and sank in different places with the sound of bones.

Reconstruction of the body.

I’ve heard that 7th class magicians or master-level warriors experience this process when they break through a wall… .

It’s extremely rare, but the best potions, among the top-tier, can evolve the user’s body one step further.

In essence, it’s the same as the reconstruction of the body that master-level warriors or 7th class magicians and above experience, but there’s a slight difference. While the reconstruction of the body due to realm is influenced by the path they’ve walked so far and reconstructs the body, the reconstruction of the body due to the influence of a potion has lower efficiency because the directionality is either the nature of the potion or just an omnidirectional strengthening of the body without directionality.

However, I’ve heard that not everyone can do it just because they’ve taken the best potion.

Some say it’s luck, and some say it’s those who are chosen. Since there are so few cases, the exact cause is unknown.

‘Kyla… ?’

I couldn’t tell what would happen.

If she’s really lucky, she won’t need suppressants, and if she’s even luckier, Denok’s body might disappear and her body might be regenerated.

The reason I think the latter is better is because there’s no need to worry about other side effects.

‘Well, people will have different opinions on this.’

At one point, a pungent smell began to emanate from her body.

However, I didn’t have the presence of mind to react to something like that.

It was an unexpected situation, and I couldn’t let go of the tension since I didn’t know what would happen in the process.

I searched all the knowledge I knew, and I stayed in place without taking my eyes off her until she finished reconstructing her body.

“Ugh… .”

The reconstruction of the body took several hours.

However, it was almost a day later that Kyla opened her eyes.

“… Master? Where is this… .”

“She fainted during the treatment. No, should I call it fainting?”

“Treatment… “what the!”

Kayla sprang up with a look of shock.

Her face was filled with frustration and frustration.

Well, that’s understandable.

If she fainted during the treatment… there’s a high chance that it failed.

She had been so looking forward to and waiting for that treatment, if she failed because she was lacking… That frustration would be unbearable.

“Ugh… what’s this smell… on my body… . “What happened to the treatment?”

“I don’t know.”

“How can you not know what happened. You should check it now.”

I asked while looking at Kayla.

“First, you should tell me what happened.”

I slowly explained the scene that I saw.

That she had successfully absorbed Denok’s body.

That she somehow tried to follow my instructions with great difficulty.

That during that, the scent of man coming from her body suddenly appeared and she lost consciousness.

The reconstruction of her body that happened next.

“… reconstruction of the body… That’s… !”

“It’s rare, but it’s said that when you consume a top-grade of the highest-grade elixir, you can reach that level even if you don’t go through the body reconstruction.”

We were lucky. I just said that.
