Chapter 176 – Na-Ri Choi, the Greatest Designer Ever (7)

#

The car’s destination was not a hospital.
Na-Ri Choi was silent throughout the drive, which was to be expected, so he was not surprised.
I don’t know if I could, but if she couldn’t improve her friend’s condition, it wouldn’t be easy to recruit her.

Choi Yoon-mi said that it would be relatively easier to recruit Choi Na-ri than to recruit Kim Yeon-hwa, but her flow was not necessarily like that.

Anyway.
It wasn’t over yet, so there was nothing I could do but do my best.

Choi Na-ri drove into the apartment parking lot.
It was a high-rise, high-end apartment.
What I was curious about was why I came to this place when I was going to see her friend who was lying in bed.

When she got out of the car and got on the elevator, Choi Na-ri said to me.

“She said there was nothing more they could do at the hospital,” She says. The only way to survive is pills that cost 20 million won each. It’s a recovery item for Hunters. If she doesn’t eat it every week, she’ll probably die from the blood all over her body.”

I couldn’t say anything.
It was a passage that made it easy to understand why Na-ri Choi had such a deep grudge against her brother, Dong-geun Cho.
And I thought that her friendship was also great.
No matter how deep she is, she has patients in her house and she pays close to 100 million every month just for medicine.

Choi Na-ri is a top-notch designer, so it’s a shame that she was a top-notch designer.

Choi Na-ri’s house was the top floor of an apartment, a penthouse.

You could guess her income from the size of the apartment, the furnishings, and the hanging or hanging artwork.
Even though she is a well-known designer, her heart is devastated.
There was only one reason, because of a friend who was in danger of being killed by Jo Dong-geun.

It seemed that winning her heart would be nothing but restoring her friend.

Nari Choi asked me.

“Can I get you something to drink?”
“No. Let’s start with her friends.”
“Good idea.”

I followed her up the stairs to her loft.

Choi Na-ri, who guided me to the bedroom upstairs, opened the door to her room with a distressed expression.

A woman was lying on a large bed.
All of her hair had fallen out, and her appearance was difficult to describe as human.
She was lying comfortably under the covers, but looking at her complexion, it was hard to believe that she was alive.

She could tell at a glance that her life was barely surviving.

“Hmm…”

I wondered if I had come this far for nothing.
When she saw the woman who had become like this, she wondered if I could cure her.

But since she came this far, there was no way to escape.
Looking at Na-Ri Choi’s expression and her figure, she didn’t seem to be expecting much.
It must have brought me with the feeling of literally grabbing at straws.

“How about it?”

Nari Choi said with her sad face.
She walked over to her friend and she gently stroked her skinny cheek.

“Huh…”

Her friend made what sounded like wind leaking through a slits.
Her eyes were still closed, only her lips parted slightly.
What was it like before this?

Of course, she would have been about the same age as Choi Na-ri and would have been a beautiful woman enough for Jo Dong-geun to seduce.
I felt deeply saddened.
She hoped that there would be a way to help her, even if it wasn’t necessarily to recruit her Nari Choi.

Choi Na-ri stepped aside and I stood in front of the woman.
I quietly looked down at her.

What I did was look into her mana inside her.
But I soon realized that it was useless.
This woman was said to be a general awakening.
Someone who has no mana and she only has the ability to awaken and get in and out of dungeons.
I was in the same situation, so I knew all too well what it was.

It was impossible to find traces of mana in such a person’s body.
No matter how long she looked, the result would be the same.

But I couldn’t give up here.

I took out a book from my inventory.
It was in the form of a book, but it was not a real book.
Amulets that can use witchcraft right away.

I flipped through them to see if any of them were useful.

“Well…”

Nari Choi saw how much I was doing and let out a moan.
She will definitely see someone like me for the first time.
He made the mana meter ring dozens of times, and most of them were S-class.
Mana with the highest level was the top 1% S-class hunter.

Even so, there was no guarantee that the dying person could be saved.

I looked at the amulets one by one with a feeling of grasping at straws, and even though I didn’t expect much, I felt an inspiration.

I chose one amulet.
After returning the rest of the amulets to the inventory, he floated them in the air.

To be honest, while I was doing it, it was difficult to understand exactly what I was doing.
Rather than moving my body, it was closer to spontaneously moving by inspiration.

I put my arm on the amulet floating in the air.
I have concocted something in my blood.

My body had numerous poisons it could produce.
Needless to say, they were obtained from Louisa, Chichi, and Titi.

Normally, it floats around in the body as normal blood, but I can create poison at will.
It’s an almost instinctive task, so I didn’t know exactly the mechanism.
Almost all hunters wouldn’t understand the mechanism to exercise their abilities, so it was natural.
Not even Choi Na-ri would be able to properly describe her ability to design her Hunter equipment herself.

Anyway, after turning the blood into a specific poison, I scratched my forearm with my fingernail.
Blood immediately oozes from the scraped forearms and they drip onto the amulet.

The poisoned amulet shone brightly.

The fluttering amulet stuck to the face of the woman lying in bed.

Seeing that, Choi Na-ri said, “Hey.” And held her breath.
It looked worried, but it didn’t interfere with what I was doing.
I thought it was fortunate that she was still.
If she had asked for her explanation, she would have had nothing to answer.

I used witchcraft.
He knew what kind of magic the amulet was.

Certainly it was a talisman for healing.
Increases its recovery rate when mana is depleted.

And…

‘Ah!’

When I thought so, I seemed to know what inspiration came to me out of nowhere.
This talisman played a role in helping the hunter quickly recover his mana when his mana was depleted.

Nari Choi’s friend, now lying in bed, had no mana.
But if the venom I created for her enters her and acts like her mana.
I didn’t know if I could use it as a seed to ignite the possibility of recovery.

Knowing that made her more active.

The poison escaped from the talisman attached to her face and seeped into the woman’s mouth.

I looked inside her once again.
Still no mana, but I could see the poison draining from my body moving down her throat.

It seeped into the stomach and slowly changed its course.
They scattered in all directions and met again near the navel.
The faint light, as if lit with a flint, revived and died repeatedly.

I focused my mind and helped the flame come to life.

And after a while,

Roaring!

Inside the woman’s body, the poison changed its nature.
It was like collecting the tiny dust within her body and turning them into seeds for a fire.
The image was fire, but in reality it was mana.

I first found out today
That there is mana in the body of a general awakener.

Once bloomed, mana grew in size under the influence of her witchcraft.

It was my job from here on out.
I took the woman’s hand.

Basically, my abilities are exercised through the lower half of my body.
But, of course, it was impossible to expect that now.
Aside from the fact that Na-Ri Choi was watching her, this woman was not in the physical condition to do such a thing.

Even if it took time, I continued to inject mana into the woman’s body.
The amount of mana injected through the skin he touched was extremely small.
Rather, the purpose was to direct the mana that sprouted in her to the desired direction.

It was time consuming.

However, it was difficult to recognize the passing of time because of the heightened concentration.

How long has it been?

“There…”

Nari Choi couldn’t stand it and started talking.
I felt a sense of reality come to me as rain and opened my eyes.

And I could see that Nari Choi’s talk to me was not for the purpose of clearing up her own curiosity.
She saw
A reaction that was not expected from a woman.

The dead skin began to revive little by little.
I could see blood circulating under the thinned skin.
And helping it was the woman’s mana.

“Haha…”

The woman let out a breath.
It wasn’t the feeble sound of air he exhaled earlier, but the sound of human breathing.

Her lips parted like a miracle, and she let out a single word.

“Nari-ya…”

Tears welled up in Na-ri Choi’s eyes.
