You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 69

The moment Jeong Da-on uttered the incantation.
Han Jae-young, having anticipated a large-area attack spell based on what he had seen in the previous footage, immediately adopted a defensive posture.

But contrary to his expectationsâ¦
Da-on simply stood there, motionless.
The only difference now wasâ¦

âThe flow of magicâ¦!â
The magic that had been swirling around the monster up until now completely reversed direction.
The magic that had been being sucked toward the monster suddenly shifted, as if it had found a new master, flowing toward another direction.

That direction, of course, was Da-onâs.
Han Jae-young soon realized what was happening.
âCould this be the true nature of Da-onâs incantation magic?â

When Han Jae-young had watched Da-onâs video earlier, he had assumed the incantation controlled lightning.
That seemed reasonable, as incantation magic is a rare and unique type of magic that even most wizards would struggle their whole lives to invent.
The creation of such magic requires the wizardâs will, the level of their soul, their talent, and a little bit of luck, combining to produce a miraculous outcome.

Even if one succeeded in creating incantation magic, it would usually manifest as an extension of their specialized magic.
But Da-onâs incantation magic wasnât like that.
âThis is more like a monster.â

Rather than being a specialized form of magic, it amplified the power of handling magic itself.
It was even enlarging the amount of magic the bodyâs circuits could accept to an enormous scale.
With this, in theory, Da-on could amplify the effects of any magic she controlled.

This felt more than just curiousâit felt bizarre.
âHow is her magic circuit even handling this?â
With such massive magic, Han Jae-young honestly wasnât sure if he himself, even as an S-rank, could endure it.
No matter how suspicious Da-on seemed, her current body was still objectively fragile.

There was no way such a body could withstand that amount of magic.
âBut sheâs managing.â
Not only that, Da-on was currently battling the S-rank monster purely through her magic control!

âShe really isnât humanâ¦â
ââ¦What are you doing?â
âHmm?â

Immersed in feeling the flow of magic, Han Jae-young snapped back to reality at Da-onâs voice.
And only then did he realize Da-onâs condition.
Han Jae-young gasped.

âAh, damn it.â
Blood was pouring from Da-onâs nose.
It was a typical symptom when a mage overused their magic.

It made sense; handling the intangible force of magic with sheer willpower was bound to overload the body.
Was that all?
In trying to contain such immense magic in her still weak body, the veins on the back of her hands had burst.

If she kept this up, all the veins in her body might burst, and she could die from it.
Panicked, Han Jae-young shouted toward Da-on.
âWhat the hell are you doing, holding it back like this?!â

The harsh tone of Da-onâs voice snapped him out of his daze like cold water splashed in his face.
As Da-on wiped the blood from her nose with her sleeve, she shouted.
âYou wonât last much longer. Hurry up!â

ââ¦Oh, great.â
Han Jae-young let out a hollow laugh.
It wasnât directed at Da-on.

âWhat was I doing?â
He had been spaced out, completely distracted.
The real reason Han Jae-young entered this dungeon was to satisfy his curiosity.

The items were secondary, and frankly, he didnât care much for Da-on except as an observation.
But no matter what, he should have focused when an S-rank monster appeared.
Not only for his own sake, but also for the guild membersâ lives. If a dungeon break occurred, this monster could escape into the world.

Han Jae-young felt a little sheepish.
âGuess Iâm not cut out for S-rank hunting.â

To be fair, under normal circumstances, he would never have acted so absentmindedly.

It was just that everything Da-on did so far had defied logic, making him lose his focus.
âThanks for your hard work.â
However, no matter the reason, the fact that a newly grown, would-be hunter had been injured because of his own negligence couldnât be erased.

âIâll take it from here.â
Thinking of the debt he owed Da-on, Han Jae-young turned his gaze back to the monster before him.
Thanks to Da-onâs control of the magic in the area, the monster had stopped absorbing magic.

He had thought that further magic control would be impossible.
However, the magic that had already been absorbed wouldnât just disappear.
âThe monsterâs movement pattern is simple. It has strength, but it seems like its joints canât keep up with its motions.â

Even though Han Jae-young had been distracted by Da-onâs actions, he hadnât completely relaxed.
âIf I had to give it a name, Iâd say itâs a zombie.â
The more he looked at it, the more it seemed like a dead body being forced to move.

It didnât carry the predatory vibe of a hunting monster. Instead, it showed simple hostility toward the intrusion of its territory, making it feel even less like a living creature.
Moreover, the way the monster attacked was strange.
Rather than controlling magic, it seemed to indiscriminately absorb magic and then expel it all at once by using its body as a launchpad.

This wasnât a natural living being⦠it was more likeâ¦
âA weapon created by humans.â
Then, it happened.

It seemed the monster had given up on recovering the magic from Da-on. It began to slowly open its mouth, gathering the remaining magic.
It looked like it was preparing to shoot a shockwave, just like it had underground earlier.
And with more magic absorbed this time, the shockwave would likely be even more devastating than before.

If it was really S-rank, escaping now would be too late.
If such a massive amount of magic were released all at once, this entire area could be destroyed.
Howeverâ¦

Pah!
Han Jae-young threw the bracelet from his arm onto the floor.
It contained a powerful dust made from the wings of a fairy.

âIf my guess is right... this should be the answer.â
The dust that spilled out wrapped around Han Jae-youngâs body and climbed up.
From behind him, Da-onâs voice called out.

âAre you seriously trying to stop it with that kind of item...?â
âHaha, are you worried?â
âYou think you have the time to be messing around?â

âMessing around, huh?â
No matter how he thought about it, Da-onâs manners were truly something else.
Han Jae-young smiled faintly.

âWell, now that I have a better idea of who you are, I think this should be enough.â
That alone was enough of a gain.
He had heard all of Da-onâs incantation magic, which hadnât been properly captured in the video.

âTo fulfill my duty...â
He had previously teased Da-on, asking if she had read classical literature, but a mageâs incantations couldnât be boastful or exaggerated.
They were all words that reflected the mageâs very soul.

Thatâs why, even though his curiosity had been partially satisfied, Han Jae-young found himself even more intrigued by Da-on.
Her inner self was something his research couldnât uncover.
And the mysterious cause behind her guilt toward the monster.

âI hope you consider it an honor.â
Then, to keep an eye on this journey just a little longer, Han Jae-young would have to show a part of his own strength as well.
He spoke as he felt the dust flowing through him.

âMy magic doesnât leave many survivors among those whoâve seen it.â
Frankly, under normal circumstances, he never intended to show this side of himself to Da-on.
Thatâs why he had intentionally used items instead of magic within the dungeon.

But given how things had turned out... more than anything, a strange trust had formed.
His actions and words were rough.
There was disdain for humans, too.

But in the end, when it mattered, he always stepped in to save others.
And someone who used incantations like that...
Han Jae-young believed she wouldnât easily reveal his secret.

As that belief solidified, Han Jae-young began casting his magic.
Sensing something amiss, Da-on seemed to panic and opened her mouth.
âWait, I...â

âDonât worry.â
As Da-on said, both the magic in the area and Da-on were under control.
With no more resources to draw from, it was natural that a normal mage wouldnât be able to cast spells. But Han Jae-young wasnât a normal mage.

âWith just my own magic, Iâm fine.â
With those words, Han Jae-young pulled out his magic.
A massive golden magic circle instantly covered the area.

âThousand Transformations.â
With the chant, the dormant magic within Han Jae-young stirred.
Where other mages would need to rely on the magic that formed the world to create miracles, Han Jae-young was different.

With the magic that resided within his own body, he was more than capable of creating miracles.
From his back sprouted enormous, translucent wings.
The item he had used earlier had fully manifested into its complete form, matching Han Jae-youngâs transformation.

Wings dropped by fairies residing in pure springs.
The power of those wings was the purification of all things impure.
No matter how strong the S-rank monster was, if it was something impure, there was no way it could defeat Han Jae-young right now.

For Han Jae-young had become the purifier of all impurity.
âTsk, tsk.â
I clicked my tongue.

The sight in front of me was so absurd that I couldnât believe it.
Crack!
The shockwave the monster was about to release collapsed before it even took shape due to the crumbling of its body.

This was thanks to Han Jae-youngâs fist, which he had fearlessly driven into the monsterâs mouth.
âGrrrr...!â
The monsterâs skin began to crumble in pieces, like dry clay as Han Jae-youngâs hand made contact.

Its jaw and teeth shattered and fell to the ground.
That wasnât all.
Han Jae-youngâs presence itself was now dominating this space.

âI knew he was hiding something, but I didnât expect this.â
He had been curious about Han Jae-young all along.
His skill with magic, and his ability to use high-energy items without batting an eye, made it clear that he was a high-level mage.

But why did he shy away from using magic in front of others?
That had always puzzled him.
Now, it all made sense.

âA shapeshifting mage, huh?â
Among the many branches of magic, a mage capable of transforming their own body was extremely rare.
It was similar to Lee Ah-rin, a member of the True Light Church who controlled her own blood, but the ability to transform the body itself was an even higher-tier talent.

This wasnât something that could be learned.
It was a born talent.
I, too, could temporarily appear as someone else.

But in that case, Iâd use illusion magic to create a distorted vision.
But Han Jae-youngâs case was different.
If he wanted to appear as someone else, he could just change his face into a different form.

In theory, a shapeshifting mage could transform any material they understood.
They could transform part of their body into something as hard as steel or even into a state where it wasnât solid, like water.
And right now, Han Jae-young had transformed his body into a âfairy.â

He understood the essence of a fairy, and since his body was fully under control, this was possible.
Honestly, it was unbelievable.
The fact that this was possible, and that Han Jae-young had chosen to transform into a fairy of all things.

Crack!
Now, Han Jae-young was literally tearing the monster apart with his hands.
Behind him, six wings sprouted.

Although queen ants also have wings, these were far more dazzling and brightly illuminated.
And that wasnât all.
Han Jae-young took out a staff from his body.

It looked like he was pulling out some bone.
What came out of his body was a white twig-like object, unadorned with jewels, but it emanated an incredibly pure power.
Han Jae-young smiled as he raised the staff and faced the monster.

âThis is the World Treeâs branch, and my motherâs bone.â
Wasnât that a bit too terrifying for a fairyâs staff?
