I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 106: Impure Love

All the training was for this moment.

Emphasizing this, Airi left him and the spear in the middle of the dragon vein and sealed the entrance with a rock.

For the significant task of experiencing the past, it was necessary to isolate him completely from external disturbances.

Whoosh.

Airi, standing in front of the sealed cave, attempted to merge her power to see the past with the dragon vein.

Originally, her power was limited to understanding someone else's situation.

But this time, it would not end with just reviewing memories.

What he needed to pursue was the power and abilities befitting a hero, and the surest way to achieve that was to walk through the journey of a real hero named 'Tacchia Pheloi.'

'Inserting someone else's experience into one's mind... It could lead to the extinction of one's personality.'

Moreover, there was no guarantee that this ritual would succeed.

The memory he was about to review was of a hero whose strength rivaled that of a dragon, and the soul of such a hero was crafted into a weapon by a being at the pinnacle of this world.

Being a 'Transcendent,' handling those memories with a human mind was not an easy task.

'There's no guarantee that the future will be successful.'

Yet, it must be done.

If this would be abandoned now, all the effort and the sacrifices made for him would be in vain.

"...Is it over?"

Merilyn, who had been watching the process, approached Airi upon seeing that the barrier had formed.

"Yes, now we just wait..."

And whoosh, a fist swung before she could even finish her answer.

Unable to control her emotions, she struck the surface of the rock that formed the barrier.

"...Please don't break it. If there's interference from outside, the ceremony will be disrupted."

It was something she had somewhat anticipated.

No matter how unpredictable the incarnation of madness might be, when it came to the one person she loved, it was easier to foresee her actions.

"Since Hyo-sung has already accepted it, you wouldn't want to do something that would trouble him, would you?"

"You're unusually cold. Especially considering that Hyo-sung could die."

Merilyn gritted her teeth and reached out her hand.

She grabbed Airi's collar, her eyes fierce at such close range.

"Tell me. What kind of future did you foresee that made you change so much?"

"...What will you do if I don't tell you?"

"I'll rip out your heart while you're still alive and leave with Hyo-sung."

She had long since discarded the guise meant to hide her true colors.

Despite the sharpness in her voice, devoid of her usual pretense, Airi calmly returned a prepared answer.

"And then Tacchia will come after you and Hyo-sung to kill you."

Merilyn shuddered and glared at Airi.
