Subscriber of the Gods Episode 174
Episode 174. Thought (1)
“Three times a day. With the spirit power you gained by making a contract with me, you will be able to use my power three times a day even if you don’t have mana.”
The Spirit King unleashed energy towards Ethan. It was a powerful attack that would cause serious injury if not avoided.
But before Ethan could dodge, a wall of dirt automatically rose in front of him.
“Automatic defense.”
The earthen wall that had been blocking the attack came crashing down.
“A dirt shield with pretty good durability will protect you.”
After finishing speaking, Tror immediately stamped his foot slightly. Then he moved forward slightly.
Shaaaak-!
The new model of Tror, which had been nearby just a moment ago, was now far away.
“Earth Slide. From now on, the land is entirely yours. As a contractor for Thror, I must do so.”
Ethan couldn’t hide his admiration for the speed he displayed.
The Tror that had gone so far had already returned to his side. It was almost like teleportation.
“That’s fast.”
The speed was as fast as the lightning that Ethan could produce.
I was clearly watching through the Eye of Horus. It was moving so fast that it hurt my eyes.
“But it’s a technique with clear shortcomings. Of course, its strengths are just as clear as its weaknesses. If you use it properly, it can definitely supplement your mobility.”
The last one was the Spirit King’s signature technique. It was a power that only the Spirit King possessed among the spirits of the earth.
“Earthquake.”
As soon as Tror stomped his feet hard, the surrounding area began to shake violently.
It was a strong shaking that felt completely different from when he had rolled his feet earlier, and it was so strong that even Ethan lost his balance and almost fell forward.
“This may not be very useful in its current state, but it will at least be enough to catch the opponent off guard.”
-I learned a new skill!
– Added skills: Earth Shield (S), Earth Slide (A), Earth Quake (S)
Two techniques, excluding Earth Slide, were S-rank.
‘That’s great.’
In particular, Earth Shield and Earth Slide were techniques that could turn the situation around if used well.
‘The Earth Slide will take some getting used to, though.’
You can instantly glide along the ground, increasing your speed without limit.
‘This is important.’
Right now, Ethan has the power of lightning and can use that power to move quickly.
‘But it didn’t work out well for the apostle. It was also a problem with my skill level.’
The technology that could give wings to that speed was this Earth Slide.
Even Ethan couldn’t exactly predict how fast it would be if he added the power of the earth to the power of the thunderbolt.
But there is clearly a problem. As Trore said, this Earth Slide is a technology with clear advantages and disadvantages.
‘control.’
If you can’t control your speed properly, you won’t be able to use it properly. In the worst case scenario, you might end up getting hit in the head by the opponent’s attack.
Even now, the power of thunder is not completely under Ethan’s control.
‘Still, it’s certain that we can break through the current limitations.’
“It is an honor, Lord Thror.”
“There’s no need to use honorifics anymore. The fact that we’ve signed a contract means that our positions are equal during the contract period.”
“okay?”
“Uh, uh… … .”
Ethan nodded.
“Understood, Tror. Thank you.”
“Yeah, yeah. Please take care of it, Ethan Wickers.”
Tror was taken aback by Ethan’s quick change of stance.
And before he could even calm down, Ethan quickly moved on to the next thing.
“Then, Tror, let’s start the treatment. Just trust me completely. Don’t think about anything else.”
Swish-.
Ethan created a needle. It was much larger than the needles he had before.
-Use pulse diagnosis.
-There is a big wound.
-Check the wound: The Brand of Banishment.
-It’s an old wound. The chances of healing are significantly low.
After mastering Heo-ryu acupuncture and Heo-ryu herbal medicine, the function of pulse diagnosis also improved greatly compared to before.
‘They even give such a clear explanation.’
Now I feel like I’m finally using some proper pulse-taking skills.
‘As expected, it is very bad.’
Ethan frowned slightly.
“I need to look at the wound first.”
At those words, Tror showed the wound on his side that he had been hiding. A pitch-black crack was revealed on his yellow skin.
“eww…….”
Roanna frowned.
Trore’s wounds were so badly rotten that it was almost necrotic. The condition was so serious that it was enough to make you frown just by looking at it from the side.
Tror smiled bitterly and pointed to the wound.
“It’s a deep wound. I tried to fix it somehow. But it just kept getting bigger. Can you see the cracks, like broken glass? At first, there were no cracks.”
Since the wound had gotten this bad, he couldn’t help but be tempted by Ethan’s words that it could be fixed.
“What do you think, can you fix it?”
“How much pain is there?”
At Ethan’s words, Trore smiled bitterly and said:
“If I were human, I would have killed myself.”
“Then I guess I should start by reducing the pain.”
Ethan took out the Donguibogam from that spot.
Charruruk-!
The Donguibogam opened on its own and turned to a page.
Ethan opened the Donguibogam and began to skillfully make a herbal medicine using only his other hand.
For Ethan, who had already reached the level of a master, making a herbal medicine with just one hand was a very easy task.
“With one hand… … ?”
The spirit king was greatly surprised when he saw that sight.
As far as the Spirit King was concerned, making potions required incredible concentration.
But Ethan was making potions very easily with just one hand.
Even the appearance looked so natural that I was secretly mistaken into thinking that making potions was an incredibly easy task.
“It seems easy, even though it shouldn’t be easy… … I don’t understand how someone with that kind of body can have that kind of skill. Isn’t that already a great magician level?”
Ethan’s skills continued to surprise Trore from the get-go.
But there was more to the surprise.
“Excuse me, Master Tror, our teacher is not a wizard.”
“What? You’re not a wizard? You’re saying that you’re not a wizard when you have that level of skill? Did something terrible happen in the human world while I was in hiding? To the point where that level of skill would become ordinary?”
“No, that’s not it… … .”
Roanna pointed to Ethan’s waist.
“Please check.”
“……test?”
Tror was very impressed.
“Sloan’s great-granddaughter, you’re going too far with your jokes. Ethan Wickus is a prosecutor? That’s ridiculous. Wasn’t it Ethan Wickus’s fault for coming through this entrance? Of course, you had your share of the work, but wasn’t Ethan Wickus in charge of the whole thing?”
“That’s true.”
Roanna was speechless.
It’s something he would never have believed even if he were Trore.
Who would believe it if they only heard the story in the first place?
That Ethan Wickers, who interprets the Spirit King’s magic and makes potions with one hand, is a swordsmanship teacher at the prestigious Ibeka Academy on the continent.
“Yeah, you have a lot of talents that Sloane doesn’t have, including a sense of humor.”
“… … .”
“Oh, really. Not only was his ability to destroy magic amazing, but his ability to create potions with just one hand is also amazing… … .”
Look at those hand movements!
Skill in handling materials and precise timing. Who would think he was an inspector looking at that figure?
“It was a funny joke though, hahaha.”
“… … .”
Roanna just gave up on explaining. She had made a deal with Ethan anyway, so he would find out soon enough.
Even as the two were talking, Ethan continued to make potions.
At that moment, the Donguibogam he was holding began to shine.
“hmm.”
-The effect of Donguibogam is strengthened.
For a moment, the Donguibogam that Ethan was holding floated into the air, then stopped in a position where Ethan could slightly raise his head to look at it.
-Magic Book: The Donguibogam has acknowledged you as its true master!
-The effect of Jin Heoryu acupuncture is enhanced.
-The effect of Jin Heoryu Tangyaksul is enhanced.
“Oh my.”
Ethan smiled as he looked at the floating Donguibogam.
It is the ability that he first learned when he first subscribed to the New World.
And it was an ability that directly saved his life.
It felt really good to have that ability recognized.
-I made a herbal medicine!
A potion with such enhanced power was created. Of course, it was S-rank.
‘This is a herbal medicine made by recalling the memories of when I treated the spirit king in the past.’
The effect was certain. However, I couldn’t guarantee that this herbal medicine alone would be enough to cure him.
‘Because I need perfect treatment.’
The overwhelming smell coming from the prepared medicine made Trore sniff his nose without realizing it.
“Hmm… … !”
I watched the entire process of making the potion from start to finish. The skill was so amazing that I couldn’t help but trust it.
-[Contract Spirit: Spirit King Tror] The spirit sends its trust to you.
-Spirit affinity increases!
The higher the Spirit Evolution Power, the more power you can gain from the spirit.
Of course, this affinity with spirits was not one-sided, so one’s own power could also be passed on to the spirits.
As a result, there were many cases where beginner spirits evolved into intermediate spirits, and intermediate spirits evolved into advanced spirits.
In short, the higher the spirit affinity, the better the stat.
‘I haven’t even drunk it yet. The Spirit King trusts people more than I thought.’
As Ethan gestured for him to drink all the medicine, the Spirit King gulped it down.
At that moment, the Spirit King’s body began to glow.
And soon the light was focused on a pitch-black crack in his side.
Ethan used acupuncture to match the timing.
Despite the sudden stab, Ethan’s technique was good, so the Spirit King was unable to react properly and was hit by the needle.
“What the heck… … .”
But Tror couldn’t finish speaking because he felt a reaction from his side.
“oh my god…….”
Tror was literally astonished.
It’s been decades since I’ve been living with a wound. Just now, I was feeling considerable pain from the wound on my side.
I didn’t get used to the pain. It’s just that as time went on, I became numb to the thought of the pain.
But the pain was relieved as soon as the needle was inserted.
“uh……!?”
Roanna pointed her finger at Tror’s side.
“It’s gone!”
The terrible wound was disappearing. The cracks that had split open began to heal with renewed vigor, and the areas that had turned pitch-black began to return to their original yellow-brown color.
“The, the wound… is returning to its original state, to its original state.”
“teacher!”
Roanna looked at Ethan with a delighted expression at the perfect treatment result.
But Ethan was frowning.
“teacher?”
‘No, this is not a perfect cure.’
It certainly seemed as though the wound had completely disappeared, but Ethan could see it.
Thanks to the Eye of Horus, I was able to see much more clearly.
“Troll, hand.”
At Ethan’s words, Trore reached out his hand. It seemed that after taking the herbal medicine, he had come to trust Ethan even more.
-Use pulse diagnosis.
-There is a wound.
-Check the wound: Faint mark of exile
“after.”
“Thank you, Contractor! I never thought this would really work out… … .”
“no.”
Ethan shook his head.
“It’s not better yet.”
“… … Not better? There’s no pain anymore… … Look, even the original wound has completely healed.”
“Isn’t it all better?”
“No, not yet.”
Normally, I could have cleared the quest with just this much. I had already successfully completed the quest in Mepan before.
If Tror acknowledges that his injuries have been cured and bows his head in meaning, the quest is complete.
But that wasn’t the success Ethan wanted.
‘If it was completely cured, the stigma should have disappeared entirely.’
Ethan thought for a moment.
‘There’s no need to think too deeply.’
Ethan opened the new world right away and started searching.
The keyword is medicine.
“hmm?”
While searching, Ethan saw that a new video of Heo Jun had been uploaded. However, the title was unusual.
“It’s a combined video… … .”
The name of the other party in the merger was written in the title.
Ethan double-checked what he had seen. It was definitely a name he had seen somewhere before.
“Now?”
