For a moment, I lost consciousness and wandered into my memories. I nearly lost my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Haah, haah…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside of the elevator boasted the most beautiful interior I had ever seen. Perhaps I felt that way because I was on the brink of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red blood was splattered across the white Jade floor. In my haste to board the elevator, I tumbled inside with a body that had already lost its left arm and both legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bleeding was severe. It was hard to muster strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drowsiness swept over me. But it was all too easy to predict that closing my eyes there would have meant death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging there was no hope, I was about to give up everything while resenting Stella and Ozma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why… did you help me…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought of the Candy House Witch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What am I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know why my story of striving to protect people became a reason for you to burn yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… none of that mattered at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dispelled the doubts in my heart and stirred up a desire to grasp life once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I will make sure to repay the price you paid to sacrifice yourself for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, agh…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to move. Move. Move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With eyes straining until veins bulge and an almost bloodless voice, I moved my frozen cheek pressed against the cold floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh, agh…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I barely mustered the strength to lift my head, my cheek, stuck to the floor, tore off completely with a ripping sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biting cold swept over the now-exposed cheek and seeped into my mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fine. Compared to the pain of losing my limbs, it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the inner pocket of my jacket was a magic pouch. Inside it was the Blood of the Evanescant. I had to drink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, I had to turn over my collapsed body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised a simple ice wall from the floor to push half of my body, flipping it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haah, haah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My breathing was rapid, yet my heart was gradually slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the unbearable drowsiness, my mind felt hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must not fall asleep.

The Blood of the Evanescant trickled down my throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart started pounding rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones and flesh rapidly grew back on my vanished left arm and legs. For a moment, I had to endure the blazing agony that engulfed my limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ruptured and damaged organs and bones, which had shattered into powder, were completely regenerated. Even my external injuries were fully healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I repeatedly coughed dryly and gasped for air as I raised my upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An immense thirst surged over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly took out a water bottle from the magic pouch and poured the water into my parched mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I feel alive…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has water ever tasted so sweet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the best taste ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain that had enveloped my entire body completely subsided, and some of my strength returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the Blood of the Evanescant. It had a dramatic effect befitting a last resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kyuuu…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden looked at me with an extremely shocked expression, and when I smiled at him in my healed state, he teared up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I patted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for worrying about me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kyuu…!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reversed-summoned Eden and lifted my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ceiling of the elevator, which exuded an overwhelming sense of aesthetic beauty, was a large, round face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a frightening face with eyes and a mouth haphazardly stuck to it, but it no longer surprised me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As our eyes met, it spoke to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I will ensure a safe journey.

That’s a relief.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know what the being was, but it certainly seemed to be a guide for the icy lake. It didn’t seem like it would harm me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My chest ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn’t even be able to offer a prayer for the soul of the Candy House Witch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, all I could say was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though overcome with helplessness, it was precisely why I needed to press forward toward the destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t long before I realized that the back of the elevator was transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it was just darkness, but as I descended a bit further, a lake stretching to the horizon came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know how fast the elevator was moving, but the ride was pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a grand gate filled the sky and the landscape. It looked like a boundary. It was an incredibly beautiful gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain was pouring from the sky. It wasn’t ordinary rain. Its hue was deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recalled the records left by Dorothy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t she say that when someone fell, the blood they shed was so great that it formed clouds and fell without end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it the rain of blood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the raindrops hit the ground, ripples spread out, proving that the place was a lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the lake was not tinged with blood but kept its pale blue hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had reached the deepest part of the Nether, the place furthest from the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s beyond that gate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I cannot tell you. I cannot tell you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever it was, it was clear where I needed to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had heard that I needed to defeat the Gatekeeper of the icy lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the gate. I know my next destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to see Dorothy soon. If possible, I didn’t want her to see me in a pitiful state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took out the clothing restoration kit from the magic pouch. It was a magic tool that would automatically restore clothes as long as there was fabric material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrrriick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I activated it, the thread began mending the missing parts of my uniform on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the uniform returned to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I put the clothing restoration kit and the magic pouch back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I exhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had managed to overcome the most formidable threat, the Nether King, with the help of Om and the Candy House Witch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was the Primordial Ice Sovereign, Veronica Aslius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must defeat her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Status]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana: 146,100 \u002F 701,300\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Status Window is displaying just fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it because Ozma has no need to provoke me in this situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or has she not given up on her plan to possess my body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or could she have made some sort of covenant with Stella?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the Status Window’s function was still active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used up a lot of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I needed to recover enough mana to face Veronica by the time I reached that massive gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there wasn’t time to leisurely wait for my mana to fully recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to move as quickly as possible to confront Vuel, the Winged Heavenly Being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We are arriving at the icy lake. We are arriving at the icy lake.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the elevator reached the lake, and the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold air seeped into my lungs and wrapped around my skin. It was an extreme cold that would have killed an ordinary person the moment the elevator doors opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, too, exuded cold, so I could bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the downpour of blood rain, the icy lake remained remarkably pristine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I carefully conjured a long rock rod and extended it outside the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no particular issue even when it was hit by the blood rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the rain isn’t harmful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, I dipped the rock rod into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor of the place was a lake. I didn’t know whether the entire land was like that or if there were places where it wasn’t, but I had to tap the stone bridge and cross carefully nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t go in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if there was an invisible floor blocking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like the water was very shallow, perhaps only enough to wet the insoles of my shoes a bit\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the blood rain dispersed and sank below the surface of the lake as soon as it touched it. In reality, the lake must have been very deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped onto the lake. It supported my weight as ripples spread out from my step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be conditions for submerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever those conditions were, it seemed I didn’t meet them for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped off the elevator and placed both feet fully onto the icy lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please use our service again. Please use our service again. Farewell.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face inside the elevator bid farewell in that manner before the doors closed on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator ascended with a rumbling sound. Once it disappeared beyond the reddish clouds, it was out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1750,"2026-06-05T21:55:37.926Z",1,"novelbin.me","ded2766bdb15c7b0abfba3ac29494b20897cacbd8e6c7938d77ccb529d10121c","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-318","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-316",377,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-cover.jpg"]
