Chapter 367: Light Kiyoung Said, Let there be light: And There Was Light (5)

“Let there be light!!”
‘Thank you! Elune, you piece of trash! I accept your daughter gladly!!’
[A feat that cannot be achieved has been achieved.]
[New title is created.]
[Saint of Light]
[The magic power increases by 1.]
‘Yolo!!!’
I couldn’t help but scream in an emotional manner, my fists tightly clenched.
Lee Kiyoung, the Saint of Light.
I knew better than anyone that it was not polite to refuse a gift from God.
A true believer among the believers best understood the heart of Goddess Benignore.
Looking at the miraculous things that were happening right before me, it was not unreasonable to believe that the Saint of Light title had actually been given to me.
‘This is +1 magic power.’
At this moment, I believed I could find a way to raise my magic power stats to at least 60. Meanwhile, the sublime light of divine power took away my attention as it continued to shine with all its might.
It would be normal if I couldn’t open my eyes because of the bright light, but strangely, the light spread out in all directions, so it proved to be very easy to see.
Elena was also looking ahead with a dazzling expression at a glorious scene that could not seem to be explained. The light had begun to surround Salit’s heart.
Whoooosh!
The divine power continued to extend in all directions.
Even the word “beautiful” would be insufficient to describe this scene now.
I didn’t know if it was because Elune had driven her daughter, but I certainly seemed to feel the energy of Elune from the Bomb of Light.
That was the natural result of having completed it with Elena as the catalyst, and I could only thank Elune for this feat.
I couldn’t get a sense of how far the light was going, but one thing is certain: the effect was more than I expected. It might look even more dramatic because it had popped inside, not outside the body. However, it still felt amazing.
The first target, his heart, had already disappeared within the light.
‘Pheeew. This is the power of light! Yes, absolutely!’
[Attack of the legendary-grade dungeon, Twisted Pond completed.]
[New title is created.]
[Guardian of the World Tree.]
[The magic power has increased by 1.]
‘Earned +2 magic power! Hurrah, Yipee!’
The dungeon attack had completely ended with the last blow. The ending was too futile for a semi-mythic-grade monster.
While my legs hurt quite a while, perhaps because of the influence of the light, I could feel them eventually getting better.
I thought of eating meat immediately because of my hunger, but I was not in a hurry, and it was all thanks to the hard work of various things.
Naturally, I opened the status window with happy news. It seemed to have been opened after a while, but it didn’t change all that much.

[Overall: God of Taxation L###### ##### For unknown reasons, overall is not shown.]
‘What is L, the god of taxation?’
My magic power is 53.
I thought it wasn’t going to grow at all, but the fact that I was still moving forward made me happy. A smile had begun to form on my face. We had just been able to solve a very troublesome problem, after all.
The remaining problems were all very trivial.
‘Which way is better to show up?’
It was true that it would be a little embarrassing to walk out myself.
As much time had been spent inside him, showing that I had been rescued would be more appropriate.
I was worried about Jung Hayan, but it didn’t seem bad at adding image-making as protecting the poor lady. Nothing special would happen, but it was the moment when the action to be a punching bag would pay off.
“Lee Kiyoung…”
“It’s all over, Elena.”
“Really… It’s really over.”
She seemed to be having mixed feelings. I could see her ears drooping as if she felt both tired physically and mentally. However, the relief was still apparent.
‘It would be nice if we were trapped a little more here.’
I suspected whether she was having thoughts like Hayan, but Elena was not Jung Hayan.
It seemed difficult for her to hide her mixed feelings. She must be thinking about what to do after we were to out. For me, what happened next didn’t matter.
Of course, it was indeed advantageous to have her by my side, but the fact that the princess of a country that had become a guild member would very much sound unpleasant on the kingdom side.
Considering many things, of course, my head started to hurt. Meanwhile, a familiar voice had begun to resonate from the outside.
Light flowed in from above as if light had entered a cave. The light pouring down in the big space was inferior to the light I created, but it was still worth watching.
‘It’s refreshing.’
No wonder the air flowing in felt so fresh and clear.
In fact, it didn’t felt that different, but it was more pleasant than the inside of the demon. Unlike me, Elena took a deep breath.
She didn’t say anything, but the time she spent inside must have been very frustrating.
“Oppa! Oppa! Oppa!”
As expected, the first voice I heard was from Jung Hayan. As soon as I looked up at the voice, I could see Jung Hayan coming down in a hurry.
I was momentarily startled, but after I let go of Elena’s hand, I got Jung Hayan’s.
I thought that her strength level had increased quite a bit, but still, jumping like that, not hesitating, was too much for her.
At the same time I received her, we fell immediately, but I didn’t get upset.
“Waaaahhhh.”
Of course, I heard her crying. For a second, I reflected on whether I had spent more time making her cry than I had made her laugh.
As I hugged her tightly and stroke her head, I began to hear her hiccupping. Turning my head slightly, I saw Elena quietly nodding.
I was worried whether she would get angry, but her innate nature seemed to have not changed.
“Hic. Hic!”
“You worried a lot, right?”
“Yes…”
After I stroke her head for a while, she seemed to calm down little by little.
Normally, she would have gone crazy not to let go of me, but I could see her stepping aside as if she had recently grown up.
Of course, as soon as I got up, she continued sticking to me, but this was already something I was used to. As much as she had been suffering so far, I could endure as much annoyance.
As we slowly rose in the air with floating magic, we naturally left the interior of Salit.
What came into sight was Elios, the elves, and the Blue Guild members looking at me with a blank expression.
Park Deokgu was already in tears with a messy expression, and Sun Hee-young was also wiping away her own tears.
Others were no different.
Hwang Jeong-yeon, Kim Ye-ri, and Cho Hyejin also expressed happy faces, needless to say about Ahn Ki-mo.
In the newbies’ case, they seemed to be out of battle, but I thought it was a very appropriate measure. In fact, it was the elf’s response that bothered me more than the Blue Guild members’ response.
It was interesting to see how he stared at me as if seeing a ghost, all while running and holding Elena in his arms.
‘I guess it could’ve been seen from the outside.’
He must have felt the power of the trash Elune. It was amusing seeing him distance himself from me, as if I was someone sacred that he must avoid.
The moment I was thinking about how I could use this, I heard Deokgu’s voice and the guild members’ encouragement.
It was a pretty obvious moment, but of course, I felt good. Han Sora, Kim Chang-ryul, and Yoo Ahyoung, who came right after, did the same.
It was not easy to answer because there had been so many questions at once. It was when I kept making awkward smiles that someone else approached.
“Kiyoung-ssi.”
“Ah, Guild Master.”
It was Kim Hyunsung, no, Kim Hyunah, who still maintained his changed appearance.
For some reason, the word Kim Hyunsung didn’t fit properly. When I saw his face filled with mixed feelings, I felt emotional for some reason.
‘You’ve been worried, bastard. Don’t worry, I’m fine.’
He had the expression of a mother bird witnessing the miracle of the dying baby bird coming to life. He tried to say something, but he kept hesitating as if he was choking inwardly.
‘Right… man. I’m alive.’
“Er…”
“Hahaha. Well, I’m alive somehow.”
“…”
“I was a little flustered, but… thanks to…”
“No… er…”
“I will give a detailed explanation as we return. I also have a lot I want to hear. Oh, we should also talk about what to do with that body. I thought you would take longer, but… who would’ve thought that you would come so fast. I couldn’t even imagine. You had a hard time, Hyunsung-ssi.”
“So…”
“Thank you.”
“No. You don’t have to…”
“You don’t have to worry too much. Whatever the reason, in the end, we’re safe. Oh, and I think we should also talk about the healing of the contaminated soul…”
“…”
‘He must have been really worried.’
That was the expression I could see. It could be more than Jung Hayan or Park Deokgu, but not less.
Unlike the two who were already crying, the only thing he didn’t do was cry, but their expressions were all the same. He must have been relieved when he really confirmed that I was alive.
I thought I had seen pretty many varieties of faces recently, but I couldn’t even imagine seeing a face that had been pushed to the point of crying. It even looked like he had dirt all over his body.
He kept hesitating without even thinking of saying anything. He was trying to say something, but it didn’t seem to come out well.
No wonder he opened his mouth after taking a deep breath.
I wanted to shout out the famous lines that popped out only in third-class Japanese comics, such as ‘I’m back,’ but unfortunately, it felt too embarrassing for me to spit out.
“So… hmm. I came back alive somehow. Haha.”
This was enough. It was then that he hugged me tightly.
‘Fuck, that scared me. What’s up with this bastard?’
It looked like he wanted to have a wild man’s hug.
It seemed that my body moved without my knowledge, but the problem was that his current body was not of a man’s.
There is also a height difference, so it looked like he was dangling.
For some reason, the surroundings bothered me.
Jung Hayan seemed to try not to look this way, but Hwang Jeong-yeon, who liked gossips like this, was busy making exclamations.
Of course, with the voice I heard after that, I had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder.
“I’m… really glad you’re okay. I’m… really… you’re… you’re okay.”
I felt like he was being really sincere.
‘That’s it. Hyunsung! That’s it!’
I just had to smile.
