Chapter 168: Compensation for the Forbidden art and hereafter

Translator: Tseirp

In a world where there was only darkness, I could not move my body at all but the 『Dokun, Dokun』 sounds of heartbeat taught me that I was alive.

Even though I could not move my body, my mind could still function and my magical power had completely recovered without me noticing but I was in a puzzling condition where I could not use Healing Magic.

One possibility I could think of was that by using the forbidden magic Revival in combination with other magic and in addition, chanting them multiple times, I might have pushed myself too far beyond my limit.

For a forbidden technique that can only be performed in exchange for a life just by casting it once, I cast it twice at the same time.

It won’t be strange if something happened depending on the decision of the G.o.ds.

I had no choice but to begin searching with presence and magical power perception but I could only sense my own magical power and presence so I was beginning to wonder if I was truly alive.

In that pitch black world, dazzling strong lights that were even more intense than the sun descended down.

Then, voices resounded in my head.

《Traveller from another world who traveled through s.p.a.ce and time, thou activated the forbidden art with a human body.》

《Usually, it would be something that can never be forgiven.》

《It is, however, also a fact that it was caused by an interference from the Evil G.o.d.》

《This round, there will be no punishment.》

《However, thy body will likely pay the price for the forbidden art.》

《Recipient of my … the Holy Healing G.o.d’s Blessing, I look forward to the time thou becomes a saint once again and return to healing.》

《《《《《《Awaken.》》》》》》

Voices resounded in my head in order but I forgot to reply due to the overwhelming sense of divinity.

When I heard the last voice, I felt myself get pulled up into the sky at the same time the gathered lights engulfed the darkness.

It felt as if I was being gently hugged by something.

Then, the light caused the blood in my petrified body to flow once again and I could feel the shackles on my body unravel with the warmth.

After confirming that the dazzling lights had subsided, I slowly opened my eyes and I was greeted by darkness once again.

“What the heck!!”

The instant I tsukkomi-ed, I felt my hand knock into something and I heard a rattling noise.

“?! … Am I inside a coffin?”

I attempted to slowly push against the part I was touching.

When I did so, the one-side opening coffin slowly opened and I appeared in a pure white s.p.a.ce.

“This place is?”

Upon exiting the coffin, a door appeared beside the coffin.

” … It seems like I am inside the Hermit’s Coffin. So Lydia did properly follow my instruction to put me into the coffin.”

While thanking Lydia in my mind, I checked my status before leaving the room as there was something on my mind.

I couldn’t help but feel uneasy about the Holy Healing G.o.d’s words.
