Chapter 82

 

Then he grabbed my wrist and pressed something into my hand.

 

I pulled my hand free from his grasp and opened my palm to find a ring set with an emerald the size of my pinky nail.

 

“What is this?”

 

“Payment for catching the fish.”

 

Oh. I thought he was a person without a shred of conscience, but it seems he had at least a minimum sense of decency.

 

“It’s pretty.”

 

“It’s a magical power assistance ring.”

 

Enoch said, glancing at the ring I was holding. Then Asdal clapped his hands and was pleased, saying that the Half-Emperor was indeed smart.

 

“This may look like a jewel, but it’s a 100% pure magic stone. It’s an auxiliary tool that helps control mana and assists with its release.”

 

It seems what was set in the ring wasn’t an emerald but a magic stone.

 

“Why are you giving me something so precious? I don’t know how to use mana anyway, and I don’t need it.”

 

I held out my hand to return the ring, but Asdal shook his head and wouldn’t take it.

 

“Just accept it even if you don’t use it. I’m the type of person who gets very irritated when I see those with abilities letting them go to waste.”

 

I didn’t particularly want to keep it, but somehow I felt that if I persisted any further with Asdal here, I’d face quite a troublesome situation, so I decided to quietly accept the ring.

 

“It’s a shame we can’t test the ring’s power right away on this island. After all, auxiliary tools are items that activate when you inject mana into them.”

 

Hearing Asdal’s muttering, I realized this ring served a similar role to Kaiden’s earring.

 

The reason we couldn’t use mana on the island wasn’t because the mana within us had completely disappeared. Simply put, everyone’s mana was in a state close to being ‘sealed’ inside their bodies.

 

“Try it on.”

 

Asdal said, pointing to the ring I was holding.

 

“No, it’s fine. You said it’s useless on this island anyway. I’ll test it when we escape.”

 

“Since it won’t work anyway, wouldn’t it be fine to just try it on? It’s a beautiful ring, so it would be a waste to just let it rot in your pocket.”

 

Asdal urged me again. Thinking it would become troublesome again if I refused further, I had no choice but to quietly slip the ring onto my index finger.

 

Flash.

 

At that moment, the energy flowing within my body suddenly stirred and began gradually gathering toward my finger.

 

“Wait, huh?”

 

Asdal looked at me with a surprised face.

 

I was also startled and looked at the finger where the energies were gathering, when suddenly the ring began to emit light.

 

“What in the world is this…”

 

Asdal was shocked and grabbed my hand. As soon as he grasped my hand, Asdal’s blue eyes flashed with a deep green light.

 

Enoch, alarmed, came running over in concern for me.

 

“Margaret! Are you alright?”

 

Enoch worriedly cupped both my cheeks and examined my complexion. I nodded with a bewildered face, then looked back at Asdal.

 

Asdal frowned with an expression of disbelief and stared at me.

 

“The moment I grasped the Young Lady’s hand just now, the Young Lady’s mana flowed into me.”

 

“What…?”

 

What does that mean? I couldn’t understand his words and just blinked. Was that why his eye color changed the moment he grasped my hand wearing the ring?

 

Come to think of it, he had said this ring was an auxiliary tool that helps control mana and assists with its ‘release.’

 

“For this ring to work, mana needs to be injected into it… Wasn’t everyone on this island unable to use mana? Why is only the Young Lady’s mana not sealed?”

 

At Asdal’s question, I also looked down at the ring on my index finger with confusion.

 

Why was I able to release mana outward, unlike the others?

 

“Could it be because of this mana auxiliary tool Your Highness gave me?”

 

“No, didn’t I tell you? You need to blow mana into it. My mana is currently blocked so I can’t use it. From what I can see now, it seems the Young Lady’s mana was never blocked to begin with?”

 

Only then did I realize why Eun-ji had imprinted on me instead of Kaiden, who had more mana than I did.

 

Kaiden’s mana was blocked, so he appeared to be an ordinary human on the surface, while my mana was never blocked to begin with, so I was probably recognized as a superior being with vast mana.

 

“Why didn’t you say your mana wasn’t sealed?”

 

Asdal looked at me with suspicious eyes, examining my face thoroughly. Enoch stood guard in front of me, wary of Asdal.

 

I peeked my head out slightly from behind Enoch’s back and protested quietly.

 

“Because I didn’t know. As I told you earlier, I don’t even know how to use mana.”

 

As I muttered this, I suddenly looked up at Asdal’s eyes. His eyes had returned to their original blue color, unlike before.

 

“But just now, when you held my hand, Your Highness’s eye color changed. To this emerald color.”

 

At my question, Asdal, who had been lost in thought with his chin resting on his hand, unable to understand the current situation, looked up.

 

“When I use Magic Sight, my eye color changes. To green. I just used my Magic Sight with the mana the Young Lady gave me.”

 

“…Wait a moment. You used my mana, Your Highness? Is that possible?”

 

“This magic stone is a bit special. Did you think I would give the Young Lady just any random object as a gift?”

 

At Asdal’s answer, Enoch nodded in agreement.

 

“An auxiliary tool that helps with mana release – it is indeed an unusual item.”

 

I glanced up at Enoch and then asked Asdal again.

 

“Then if I release my mana and transfer it to someone else, can that person use mana?”

 

In other words, I could become a mana charger for them.

 

Asdal nodded as if my words were correct.

 

“It seems so. I gave you the gift because of its mana control function, but to think it would be used for release. I’ve never operated mana in such a way either… Would you try what you just did with me on the Crown Prince as well?”

 

“Is that alright?”

 

At Asdal’s suggestion, I looked up at Enoch. Then Enoch stared at Asdal for a moment before nodding.

 

“We can see if using Sword Aura is possible.”

 

Since both magic and Sword Aura are powers that originate from mana, it might be possible to use them.

 

Enoch drew his sword from the sheath at his waist. I held Enoch’s hand with the hand wearing the ring.

 

Then a yellow lightning-like light flashed and began to envelop Enoch’s sword.

 

“This confirms it. Lady Flone is the only person who can use mana on this island.”

 

Asdal said as he stood up from his seat. Then Enoch once again blocked my path with a tense expression, gripping his sword.

 

Asdal approached us leisurely with his arms crossed, paying no mind.

 

“That’s quite… strange.”

 

I, who was already the most suspected, had become even more suspicious because of this incident. But I couldn’t very well say it was because a different soul had entered Margaret’s body.

 

Now that I think about it, we all had something in common. We were all people who possessed tremendous mana and divine power.

 

Could someone have trapped us on this island to experiment with our powers? If so, why did they block us from using our abilities?

 

And the reason only I among them could use mana was probably because the foreign soul called ‘Lee Jin-ju’ had possessed Margaret’s body, right?

 

That was the only possible reason.

 

Asdal narrowed his eyes and examined me as if trying to gauge my inner thoughts.

 

“It’s strange. This is a suspicious situation indeed. Of course, I have no intention of blindly accusing the Young Lady as the culprit of this situation like before. From what I’ve observed so far, it seems the Young Lady was also dragged into this. Besides, it’s hopeful that there’s someone among us who isn’t affected by the island’s influence.”

 

Enoch, who had been quietly watching Asdal, realized he had no intention of threatening me and sheathed his sword.

 

Then Enoch turned to me and asked.

 

“How much mana do you think you used? Did it become more difficult than before?”

 

I shook my head.

 

“No, I’m not really sure if it’s difficult. There doesn’t seem to be much difference compared to earlier. I don’t even know how to feel mana in the first place…”

 

Upon hearing my answer, Asdal clapped his hands with a delighted expression. He looked at me with eyes that seemed to have regained his zest for life.

 

Come to think of it, this man was someone who felt uncomfortable just watching those with abilities waste them.

 

“As expected, since your mana reserves are tremendous, this amount probably doesn’t even feel like you’ve released any mana! I can teach you how to sense mana. It would be good if others could share and use the Young Lady’s mana.”

 

I didn’t have any major complaints about that point.

 

Learning magic myself in such a short time would be realistically impossible.

 

So rather, releasing my mana to help others use magic would be the most efficient method in the current situation.

 

Asdal pointed to Luzef who was sleeping in the living room.

 

“When Archbishop Luzef wakes up, it would be good to check if it works with divine power too.”

 

Even so, what I have is mana, so wouldn’t it be unrelated to divine power?

 

If that’s really the case, then Luzef would be useless even at a time like this… What a sad thing.

 

The one who could probably use this power most effectively would be Kaiden, who is a mage.

“Damn, those bastards!”

 

Kaiden had tied up Diego and Yuanna tightly inside the cabin and was lying down next to them.

 

“Ugh. Let me go.”

 

Yuanna’s seductive voice pierced Kaiden’s ears. But he lay there without moving a muscle.

 

Yuanna’s sniffling sobs continued.

 

Crash.

 

And then, Diego, who had been tied up with Yuanna inside the cabin and struggling, finally broke through the cabin.

 

“What the hell is that bastard doing!”

 

Kaiden jumped up from his spot, grabbed Yuanna, and rushed out of the cabin.

 

Diego stood among the broken debris. He contorted his face, clutching the front of his collar and breathing heavily.

 

Then, Yuanna’s voice was heard.

 

“Lord, my body is so hot.”

 

Yuanna, who was in Kaiden’s arms, reached out with trembling hands and desperately embraced his neck.

 

Her delicate hands slowly caressed his bare shoulders.
