Cheat Awakening

"Do you think he can heal her?" The owl-like Iron Man asked casually to the humanoid nine-tail fox middle-aged man beside him while looking at Myne who sat beside Fenrir with a deadly serious expression. Only God knew what he was thinking.

"How do I know? Go ask yourself," The fox middle man replied annoyingly. This was the third time this idiot had asked him the same question.

"Can you guys shut your mouths for a second? Don't you have anything better to do than talk nonsense behind me?" Levi, who had a dark expression, was not happy with the beating she'd given Myne because of his good excuse which saved his ass from her, scolded both old men behind her, and they instantly ran away from her.

"Calm down, Levi. Venting your anger on them won't change anything. It's your fault that you let him speak. I told you not to listen to him, and to beat him for my share as well. The result? After only a few punches and kicks, he walked out of the box with a wide grin on his face.

You were fooled by him. Otherwise, how could there be such a perfect coincidence in the world that just when you asked him to visit your city, his grandma passed away and was busy with her funeral?"

Ymir, who still felt like he'd lost a perfect opportunity to take revenge on behalf of Fenrir by believing Levi, spoke with a voice full of regret. If he had known earlier that Levi was so easy to fool, he would have surely gone into the box to deal with that bastard.

"Sigh, sorry. Next time I'll be more careful. And when Big Sis Fenrir wakes up, I'll find out whether Myne have a grandma or not. If this bastard dares to lie to me, then this time not even Mother can protect him," Levi said, clenching her fist, with the fire of determination burning in her eyes.

While the other divine beasts were busy with their own matters and observing the fight going on inside the dome, which had already reached its peak, Myne, on the other hand, after successfully deceiving Levi with a white lie to save his ass, came before Fenrir and started thinking of a way to save her.

For this, he also borrowed a goggles-like gadget from the Owl Iron Man, which could help him see the red liquid-like symbiotic parasite inside her body, which was currently eating her from the inside at a fast pace. If this continued, within an hour, Fenrir would probably become like Jormungandr, completely under its control.

Myne had already checked all his skills and tried almost all of them that he thought could heal her, except for two that required him to burn a lot of brain cells to use for the current situation.

Hmm, if I use Unique Magic・Sublime Obscurity, then I would surely pass out from mana exhaustion before it comes from her. That damn skill requires too much mana for each use, which I lack the most right now, so there's only one option left... But I don't know if it will work or not, Myne thought seriously while looking at the Realize description before him.

"Let's give it a try. What bad thing can happen anyway? At worst, I'll have to explain this skill to Levi or Ymir and borrow mana from them like that silver-haired lady did.

And those two are still reliable guys, so I don't think they'll have bad thoughts about my skills," Myne encouraged himself seriously before taking a deep breath and casting Realize while thinking about the red symbiotic inside Fenrir's body.

Because there wasn't much distance between them and he had given clear instructions about the target, right after he activated the skill, a dim white light shone in Myne's palm, and a ball of red slime-like liquid appeared on it.

"Yesss... F*CK!"

However, Myne had forgotten to inquire about the red symbiotic, and Levi and the others hadn't thought that he would summon that time bomb-like thing on his palm without any protection or reminding them. So as soon as the liquid touched Myne's skin, it instantly covered his entire palm, and before Myne could even react, it went directly inside his body.

Hearing Myne's panicked voice, Levi and Ymir, who were behind him, quickly came in front of him. Seeing him crazily swinging his palm with a frightened expression, while red worm-like things could be seen moving inside his arms before gradually disappearing, they knew he had f*cked up.

However, still, to check the curse of the matter, Levi took the goggles from Myne and put them on before her eyes, and saw the red symbiotic quickly spreading inside his body and eating him visible to the naked eye. After all, compared to Fenrir, whose body structure was more complicated and high-quality material for the red symbiotic, Myne, a hume, was nothing.

If not for his regeneration skill, which was working in overdrive mode to heal him, until now, half his body might have already turned under its control.

"Myne, are you crazy? Why did you touch that thing without any protection gear? Do you think you have lived too much or what? Do you even have any idea what that thing is?" Levi, who had no time to cheer about Fenrir's recovery, grabbed Myne's shirt and asked angrily while shaking him crazily.

Hearing her loud voice, others who were worriedly watching the fight below also turned their heads towards her and quickly used their own methods to see the problem. Soon, shocked and admiring looks appeared on their faces. After all, not everyone could risk their life to save others without any hesitation.

"But how do I know that this thing would enter my body after coming into contact with me? You should have told me earlier. Now stop shaking me, and tell me what I should do!" Myne, still shaking his hand, yelled out in panic before looking at Levi with a crying face.

"Damn you, brat! If I knew how to deal with this thing, wouldn't I have healed Big Sis Fen already? Hell, If something happened to you, how would I explain it to her? She was right; you are indeed a trouble-attracting magnet," Levi pushed Myne away and muttered while biting her thumbnail, thinking hard about how to deal with this new mess.

While Myne was on the verge of having a panic attack and considering rushing to Maya for help, he suddenly felt a slight pain and the weird sensation of something running inside his body disappear as if everything was just an illusion.

It wasn't for the fact that his regeneration skill was absorbing his mana at a crazy speed and he could feel sensations of tickling all over his body that he would have probably been very confused.

But his confusion didn't last long when he suddenly felt extremely dizzy. Everything around him became blurry, and he almost passed out but thankfully managed to stay awake somehow.

Only then did he realize what was going on with him, because this red symbiotic was clearly a very high-level being, completely out of his league, although he had only summoned a portion of it with his skill from Fenrir, it still wasn't something his pitiful amount of mana could handle, along with his regeneration skill providing extra support in the background, his mana bar soon emptied, and the Realize skill effect also ended, which forcefully kicked the red symbiotic back into Fenrir's body from where it was summoned.

Thud!

Myne, although managing to stay awake, was still not in good condition. Mana exhaustion was different from physical exhaustion, where you couldn't possibly consume physical energy at once. So soon, Myne felt like everything around him started shaking. He couldn't even control his body properly, and after stumbling for a while, he fell to the ground on his back like a statue.

"MYNE!"

Levi and Ymir, thinking that the red symbiotic might have reached Myne's brain, quickly came to him with a loud shout. However, Levi, who was wearing goggles and could see inside his body, saved herself from doing embarrassing things like Ymir, who was desperately trying to keep Myne awake and even asking him his last wish.

"Myne, don't even think about closing your eyes. If something happened to you, what would I say to Big Sis? Also, your crazy sister will eat us alive..."

"I... I need ma..." Myne who hardly can understand Ymir's words, tried to tell him about his condition, but the other party interrupted him because he was speaking too slowly.

"Please don't say such a thing. You will be fine. I won't let you die..."

"Maa..."

"Fine, if you are insisting on telling me your last wish, then do it. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

I promise you that I will fulfil it in any condition," Ymir, who wasn't letting Myne finish his sentence and was busy in his own world, behaving like an annoying friend whom everyone on the team wanted to beat every time he opened his mouth, vowed with an emotional voice as if he was finally ready to let Myne go and dig his grave instead of forcefully holding him back.

Levi, who was having fun of her life, along with other divine beasts who had already realized what was going on, but none of them came forward to clear things up for Ymir, watched this strange drama in the background. The Owl Iron Man even started recording Ymir's dark historical moment with his drone, so they could see it in the future when they gathered again, and make fun of him.

This kind of permanent content shouldn't be missed.

"Ma... Ma..."

"Yes, ma, I already heard that, what next?" Ymir again interrupted Myne, seeing that he was stuck on a single word.

Myne, who finally couldn't take it anymore, simply closed his eyes and decided to recover some mana naturally, at least enough so his head started working normally, and he could use his inventory to take out a mana potion or water. As for Ymir, who was desperately waiting for his last wish, to the great disappointment of other divine beasts, he completely ignored him.
