I haven't seen how guides, or "humanists" as they are called here, calm auras in this novel-game world, but the basic process should be similar.
The source of the strength of the Awakened, or as they are known here, “the Esper,” is the heart.
When the power spreads through the blood vess and creates amazing miracles, the Awakened, who possess powers that ordinary humans do not possess, suffer from physical defects.
Burning pain, a feeling as if flesh and bones are being broken and crushed, a headache that puts pressure on the blood vess in the brain as if they will burst, and other symptoms.
When they continue to exhaust their powers to the limit, the awakened lose their minds.
'This is where the big problem begins.'
They begin to wander like beasts in search of their companion, a compatible guide, to soothe their pain.
This is the first time I have seen him awake in such a dangerous state without destroying anything or losing control.
I looked at the disturbed person in front of me, who looked much different than usual, and smiled bitterly.
'In this sense, you really…'
Toxic.
I always found the protagonist annoying, scary, and terrifying, but in this moment, I felt pity for him.
Caesis was a rather remarkable emperor.
He was arrogant but not cold.
He was not a tyrant who neglected his duties and enjoyed luxury.
'So I can't completely ignore him.'
As Duchess Ariel, I have never seen him in such an agitated state during our confrontations.
Through the eyes of the guide, I could clearly see how his strength stabbed and hurt his body, but his handsome, impudent face never showed trouble.
So he was a toxic person.
I have never seen an awakened person who did not find his guide holding up well in this way before.
'If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it.'
So, even after I died and lived in good health, I was exaggeratedly thinking that this was not reality but a novel world.
Because he is very different from the woke ones I encountered in Korea.
He did not destroy his surroundings, did not vomit in disgust at my guidance, and did not look like he was going to leave me in a portal and leave.
I carefully raised my hands and approached him.
The man's bare, statue-like chest was a little unnerving, but I can't go out like this, can I?
"I'm here to help, so don't kill me.
And don't hurt me either."
There was no need to speak in a stiff tone like Duchess Ariel, so I approached tremblingly in my original tone.
Even if I look miserable, it doesn't matter.
No one knows how dangerous an S-Class can be when it reaches its limits.
There have been cases in which guides who approached an awakened person who had lost his mind had their limbs torn off.
But this guy?
'SSS Class, what is this nonsense?'
This classification should only exist in novels.
As I approached, swallowing tears of blood, I felt that the strength in my legs would fail and I would fall.
How did I approach him the last time, hold his hand, pour out my strength, kiss him, and sleep together?
As expected, when I approached and looked into Casey's eyes, they were unusually troubled.
‘This way, even without the system’s influence, he wouldn’t recognize me.’
As my f-confidence increased, my feeling of pity for the person in front of me increased.
'Maybe he's always had to bear this alone.'
The absence of anyone around him.
Thinking about it, it was strange that the knights were so far away even when he was in danger of losing control.
Maybe he was losing his mind and enduring the pain alone every night.
Maybe the knights believed in him.
They believed that he would overcome it and return as usual.
“Your Majesty, do you hear me?”
"You don't understand what I'm saying, do you?
I know.
Your head is a mess."
Since he didn't have a completely compatible guide, was he swallowing fire and ice without chewing them every time?
“Um, I'm that guide from the other night.
If you let me touch you, I can help you.”
But, as if to make matters worse, the system window flashed red.
[The risk of losing control increases!]
I know, I know.
But I must explain humanely.
What if this memory remained in his memory?
[The risk of losing control increases!]
[The risk of losing control increases!]
[Guide to calm the Emperor.
The risk of loss of control is high!]
Ah, okay!
I know!
I unconsciously screamed internally and quickly extended my hand.
As I did the previous time, I grabbed the nervous man's arm tightly.
Suddenly, an amazing feeling came over me.
‘Ah!’
My head turned.
I will be swallowed.
No, I was already being swallowed.
A flood of raw force hit me.
'Yes!
This is so powerful!'
Mere skin contact made the ferocious aura, which was tearing apart the ocean, penetrate me.
“Wait, a minute!”
At the same time, the power of the Awakened violently swept through my body, snatching something from within me.
As if she didn't want to miss even a small part of the areola, she scraped violently.
She was hungrily absorbing the excess guidance energy and withdrawing it.
I shook randomly.
I felt like I was going to be dried squid like that.
‘Ah!’
Suddenly, the strength in my legs collapsed and I fell onto the Emperor's bed as if I was tripping.
I couldn't regain consciousness yet.
My whole body trembled.
“Please...”
She just held his arm over his clothes, how could he be this hungry?
This force was different from the one that moved according to Irshadi's instructions when he was under the influence of the drug and completely lost his mind.
It was a hungry and rough force.
Even I, confident in my ability to channel the auras of the awakened, was being dragged violently.
"Ah!
Wait a minute.
I'm not running anywhere!"
"Not possible."
What does it mean can't!
I forgot that the Emperor was not in a state that allowed him to understand the words, and I cried out in despair:
“No, this is how I will collapse!”
I waved my hand and pushed his chest.
He didn't move.
I had to grab his chest and push him hard, but he didn't move.
Rather, it came back to me with oppression.
He thought I was trying to escape, so he grabbed my hand that was holding his arm and pulled me back.
“You...”
The distance suddenly approached.
My body, which had been lying as if I had stumbled next to Cayceus, was lifted lightly and I fell on top of him.
Yes!
I screamed internally.
'Even if he was like this, wasn't it too close!'
I tried to back away while squirming, but his face was right in front of my nose.
“Um, this, I mean...”
“You...”
“Do you… recognize me?”
You don't have to get to know me.
never.
My hair poured out, blocking out the moonlight for a moment and then revealing it.
This was the first time I saw his eyes drooping in an almost unconscious state like this.
I knew that pure blue ice was the main power he used.
The cover of showed a hero waving ice and water, so there's no doubt about that.
And his eyes were just like his strength.
Unconsciously, I admired this close situation:
'Beautiful color like ice.'
Instead of the usual menacing raised, knife-like eyes, his drooping eyes had the charm of a museum display.
Therefore, I did not pay attention to his hand, which climbed like a snake and grabbed my waist tightly, nor to his nearby breathing, which became ragged as if it was gradually becoming aware of my presence.
At some point, something touched my cheek.
“Huh?”
“My mentor...”
I blinked in astonishment, then realized it was Casey's hand.
It was an incredibly soft touch for the normally rude Emperor.
“Are you my guide?”
I froze unconsciously, and his hand that lifted my hair covered my entire cheek.
As befits a top-class awakener who recovers even after the crash, his hand was soft despite his many battles.
“I'm in pain.
I've always been in pain.
But...”
The larger the contact area, the greater the amount of energy absorbed.
“Ah…”
He looked at me with blue eyes as my breath quickened.
I felt ashamed of the unfamiliar situation and guidance.
Yes, that's how it was that time too.
When a soft and friendly hand touched me, I thought that such a gentle person was awake.
Someone who wants my power.
I wanted to give him more strength, ease his pain, help him.
This is how I got my thoughts.
“Who are you?”
“This...”
“How do you put up with this?”
I felt the waves of awakening rise on my neck and my shoulders shrank.
