Veel World: The Miracle With Flaws
Chapters 6.7
After a full day of rest, Zhel and the others continued their journey, but there were 1 person who was still unconscious, namely Kon who was sleeping limply on Zhel's back.
The wounds that Kon had had been healed but still made some permanent defects, one of which was his tongue that could not grow anymore and his right eye that became white like a blind man. In fact Helen could heal such wounds with her magic, yet strangely Kon's tongue and eyes could not be healed by her.
Helen didn't understand why, but she thought there must be a reason, zhel, on the other hand, felt that his soul and body were so devastated that his guilt left Kon behind and finally made a deal that ended in mass slaughter.
The three of them had already passed through the city glued-no, instead of passing through but circling the city glued. The reason for that was because Zhel and Helen had smelled the very thick scent of blood from the glued city, perhaps after this the glued city would become a ghost town because there was no life anywhere.
They continued to walk towards their destination, the place where the Sacred Tree was located, the Willet Forest, where the Elves lived peacefully, after tired of walking all day they rested near the river next to the road. The night had come but Zhel and Helen were silent and watching the bonfire until the end.
“Zhel... Is this our fault?”
“What do you mean?”
“About dilem” city
Zhel only frowned after accepting the harsh reality, before they were about to enter the glued city but they paused his intention after seeing the countless corpses behind the walls that bound the city to be glued.
“Maybe... That's the only answer I'll answer, Zhel said in a tone full of mixed emotions.
The emotions are sad, angry, happy.
Hearing the reply Helen sat down and hugged her legs tightly and covered her face, then a crying voice sounded from her.
“Why... Why is the world so cruel?” sobs of Helen.
“Entahlah” said Zhel who then did the same with Helen.
Amidst the sadness they both heard a voice from inside Zhel's tent, hearing it was certain it was Kon who finally woke up. Before Zhel and Helen got close, someone opened the tent from inside it was Kon who yawned.
“Hheh... Heheh” Kon said.
“Kon? Ah Kon rest first!” said Zhel who was directly approaching Kon.
“Hihah hehhu” waves her hand.
The more Zhel heard Kon speak, the more Zhel felt guilty but strangely Kon showed a smile to Helen and Zhel.
“Hahah heha hahu haha hehehahaha” Kon said as she moved her arms forward and backward as if to say ‘No need’
Finally Zhel had an idea, he had heard of a magic called Telephaty that could make one speak through the mind. It is said that this magic once made a country fall apart due to false information, eventually this magic was forgotten in some kingdoms.
“Helen can you make the current item?”
“Yes I can”
“Good, do you know Telephaty magic?”
“Ah I understand”
Finally Helen made 3 magic items with the help of Zhel's Mana until finally Zhel's Mana was almost exhausted, but Zhel took Kon's Mana so that his consciousness was not lost. The item was ring-shaped and made of ordinary iron, but Helen explained that Telephaty could only be used on other ring users.
“Use this Kon” said Helen while giving one of her rings.
Kon immediately put it on and a voice rang out, it was Zhel's voice but Zhel's lips did not move.
(Con... You hear?)
(Yes this works well) Kon said as she rounded her index and thumb.
(It's good that there's no problem, so that's what you wanted to say) Helen asked.
(Previously sorry... You must be asking why I'm doing this, right?)
(Of course!) 2x
(Look, Zhel you remember me using Curse Magic right?)
Knowing that, Helen immediately slapped Kon without any hesitation.
“You used it?” ask Helen.
“So you used it yes..” Helen lowered her face and then tears fell “Dumb base! I told you not to use that curse!”
Helen clasped Kon's collar and shook it, but Zhel injured them both for not understanding the situation.
“Tell me the reason Kon! Why don't you listen to me?!”
(I... I have no choice)
“What do you mean?”
(You may not realize it, but I feel it myself... Every year my power grows stronger, even stronger than you can imagine... I don't know how strong it will be)
Kon paused for a moment and showed them a smile even though the smile looked tired.
(Helen do you know why after we became royal magicians I never took part in exhausting training sessions?)
Helen just shook her head at the sign she didn't know.
(Before you yourself already know that I'm a pretty athletic person right? But then something was missing from me)
Kon pointed at one part of his body.
(At that time I learned that one of my internal organs had been destroyed)
Helen and Zhel were shocked to hear that fact.
(I realized that my body was unable to hold on to my power, which is why I searched for magic that could seal my power until I finally came across an ancient Dark Promise spell : Ten Seal Of Glory and show it to you right?)
“So before that you've suffered? Why didn't you say it?”
(I don't want to die, even if necessary I will give my soul to live with you)
Said Kon who then showed a warm smile.
(You remember Zhel before me saying that maybe I lost control, right?)
Zhel nodded in silence.
(The curse magic sealed my power while returning my body to normal again, unfortunately I have to make a sacrifice)
Kon closed his eyes and continued.
(The magic sealed my power into 10 parts, and each part will be replaced with 10 parts of my body... Right eye, Left eye, Hearing, Tongue, Right hand, Left hand, Right foot, Left foot, Skin, and Soul... That's why I said maybe I could lose control if only my soul became one of the sacrifices)
“Before you opened 2 seals right? Could it?”
(Really... What was taken was my tongue and right eye, not like I cut my own tongue to be sacrificed)
“Then what happens if you unseal it again? Will everything else be sacrificed?”
(No, it's like a gamble... Maybe what was taken after this was my left eye or maybe my skin, but my soul will be taken away if I unseal all of it... Ah but do not worry, according to the agreement if the Seal is locked back then the lost body parts will return slowly... But as a payment I can't use any magic until all the pieces come back)
“Then how long does your body part come back?”
(Stop... I don't know either)
“Then it's good... I thought you'd be permanently disabled”
(Hahaha I'm sorry to worry, and Helen I'm sorry I didn't say it before using this magic)
Helen turned her face in annoyance.
“Then don't unseal it again”
(Yes) Kon removed the ring.
Finally Zhel invited Helen to prepare dinner between the two of them turned away, Kon lowered his face and let out a guilty expression.
