Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 18 - Preparations First



I placed the cards on the table that had been set up, and shuffled them with my usual clumsy skill before putting them on the table.
‘Hmm… I’m supposed to be a card fortune teller, but is this too unimpressive?’
For some reason, it seems like my job has become a fortune teller… All kinds of thoughts come to mind these days.
And the strongest thought is… Maybe learning to shuffle cards stylishly?

Why don’t I shuffle poker cards stylishly like in movies about gamblers or magicians! I thought I should at least have that kind of skill.
Anyway, putting aside these thoughts for now…
I drew 6 cards from the top of the well-shuffled deck, placed them on the table, and said to Akame.
“Well, I’ve placed 6 cards on the table… Please flip them all over.”
Originally I would flip them one by one… but isn’t this an urgent situation now? Mainly from my perspective.
I want to finish this kind of thing as quickly as possible.
“Hmm, this is somehow exciting?”
And at my words, Akame smiled and flipped the cards one by one.
Although Akame had lost her sight, she was an S-rank superhuman. For her, who was already living a normal daily life even with this body, it wasn’t a difficult task.
Anyway, when she finished flipping all the cards, I pointed to one card.
“Ah, first of all, this fortune telling will be done in two parts. The fortune I’m reading now is for the preparation process for your revenge, and in the next fortune telling, you’ll be able to achieve your revenge.”
“Then… when will the second fortune telling be?”
“I’ll let you know after the first fortune telling is over.”
After finishing my explanation, I looked at the card I had pointed to.
The first card was a trap card, ‘Dungeon Treasure Chest’.
“Exactly one hour from now, a dungeon will be created in the Gangbuk-gu area of Seoul. It will probably be about C-rank, so it won’t be too difficult… Enter that dungeon first and deal with the boss. The place where the boss of that dungeon stands will probably be a place with a huge magic circle engraved… After killing the boss, place the boss’s corpse in the center of the magic circle, and pour all your magical power into the magic circle. Then a white jewel named ‘Pure White’ will appear, and you need to obtain that jewel.”
“Ooh…”
Anyway, the second card. Trap card ‘Gorgon’s Magic Eye’.
“After obtaining the jewel, you need to conquer two dungeons in total. One is ‘Goblin Shaman’s Cradle’ in Incheon. The other is ‘Goblin Shaman’s Tomb’ in Busan. You don’t need to rush for time with these. The rank is also D-rank… Anyway, when you enter the dungeon, don’t conquer the dungeon, but find the forest inside the dungeon and find the thickest and longest tree in the forest, then dig about 500m under that tree and there will be some kind of secret base. You need to collect one eye-shaped jewel from each dungeon inside there.”
“…The thickest and longest tree… 500m… Eye-shaped jewel…”
Akame, who heard my words, was muttering and writing something in a small notebook-like thing with her hand.
…I can’t see anything, but it seems she’s recording it with some kind of special mark. Well, there are 6 cards, so there’s a lot to listen to.
And the third card. Trap card ‘Protective Charm’.
“There will be a huge canyon inside the C-rank dungeon ‘Humanoid Bird’s Nest’ in Seomyeon, Busan, and if you look inside, there will be a place where the flow of magical power is strange. If you go there, you’ll find five flowers of different colors, pick them and keep them.”
The fourth card is the trap card ‘Master Thief’s Skeleton Key’.
“Tomorrow, after defeating the boss of the C-rank dungeon ‘Hobgoblin Temple’ in Daegu, destroy the ceiling of the old temple where the boss was, and collect the gilded old key inside.”
The fifth card is the monster card ‘Benevolent Saint Leon’.
“After collecting the key, enter the dungeon that will appear in the park near the Hobgoblin Temple around 2:14 PM, go straight to the left and there will be a huge door, open the door with the gilded key and there will be two golden potions named ‘Benevolence’. After collecting them, close the door and put the eye-shaped jewels you collected the day before into both eyes, swallow the Pure White, and then chew and swallow the five flowers thoroughly. You must chew and swallow them thoroughly! And immediately after that, drink both bottles of Benevolence at once.”
“……”
The last sixth card is the monster card, ‘Blood-Craving Magic Sword’.
“After your body stabilizes, open the door and head to Mt. Worak in Jecheon City. When you reach the top of Mt. Worak, you’ll smell a strange blood scent and flower fragrance, follow that scent and find a small and strange cave, and take the sword inside. And after finishing all this, come back to me.”
“Is this… Are you going to heal my body…?”
“I’m not healing it, you’re healing it yourself. I’m just showing you the way. And also… Isn’t it a proper revenge if you live well and enjoy the world even after taking your revenge?”
Hearing those words, Akame silently looked at Dam Han-ul.
Although he couldn’t see her face, a strange atmosphere that couldn’t be felt until she sighed just a moment ago seemed to dominate this entire place and press down gently.
‘Ah… This seems like it might be more debt than I thought…?’
Akame, feeling a pleasant burden, smiled slightly and looked at Dam Han-ul.
“Thank you, Teacher. Then… I’ll be back soon!”
With that, Akame left, and I, stretching my legs and leaning back slightly, let out a deep sigh.
“Ugh… I’m tired.”
“Wow… Executive! You were really amazing just now! As expected of a great fortune teller, you’re really incredible when you’re telling fortunes!”
Oh my… I’m tired and now what’s she saying…
“…Enough, I want to rest now, so go back for now and come to my house by 6 PM tomorrow.”
“Understood, Executive! Then please rest well! I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
“Yeah…”
As Ricone, who answered energetically while playfully saluting, withdrew, I just collapsed.
“Ah… I think I should use something other than cards for tomorrow’s fortune… What should I use?”
And as I was thinking while rolling around, I suddenly realized that I hadn’t eaten lunch yet and started boiling some ramen.

After hearing Dam Han-ul’s fortune, Akame, who had recorded all the information in her notebook with magic, immediately headed to her first destination.
“Somewhere in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul…”
Akame, who arrived there after asking for directions, killed some time at a nearby convenience store, then detected the unique magical power felt when a dungeon appears and immediately flew there, entering the dungeon first.
Kwak! Wuddeuk!!
Even though she was broken, S-rank is still S-rank.
Akame, who tore off the dungeon boss’s neck so quickly that it couldn’t even react, immediately placed the boss’s corpse in the center of the huge magic circle as told in the fortune and started pouring all her magical power into the magic circle.
Kugugugu-!!!
“Keu…!!”
Although her insides ached terribly due to the internal injuries and remnants of poison she had suffered, she endured and poured in all her magical power, and at that moment, a pure white pillar of light rose from the magic circle.
“Oh, this is Pure White…”
And when she extracted the jewel that was sitting in the center, completely white without a single impurity, the pillar of light subsided.
“Indeed… It’s white and pure.”
Akame, who briefly admired the jewel, thinking it deserved the name Pure White, rested for a moment to replenish her magical power before quickly escaping the dungeon and heading to Incheon.
Then she entered the Goblin Shaman’s Cradle, dug under the thickest and longest tree, discovered a hidden secret base-like place, and found an eye-shaped jewel with strange red patterns inside, and found another one with different patterns in the same way in the Goblin Shaman’s Tomb in Busan.
“This one gives quite an ominous feeling.”
Next, she headed to the nearby Humanoid Bird’s Nest dungeon and nimbly picked five flowers that were gently emitting strange magical power inside the huge canyon that existed there, then somehow moved to Daegu, found lodging there, and fell asleep peacefully for the first time in a long time.
And the next day, after easily clearing the Hobgoblin Temple, destroying the ceiling of the temple and collecting the gilded key, Akame ate a hearty bowl of rice soup for lunch nearby since she was in Korea, then entered the dungeon that appeared in the park some distance from the Hobgoblin Temple at the right time, and moved straight to the left as per the fortune.
Sure enough, as the fortune said, there was a huge door mixed with gold and white colors, and Akame smiled and opened the door with the key and went inside.
Inside the door, she saw the potion named ‘Benevolence’, containing a liquid that faintly glowed golden.
“This is Benevolence…”
After collecting the two bottles of Benevolence, Akame closed the door and started to move as Dam Han-ul had told her.
First, she inserted the eye-shaped jewels into each of her empty eyes.
“Keuugh…!!”
Indeed, as if it wasn’t an ordinary item, she felt a pain as if her eyes were burning from the inside and a strange magical power stimulating deep inner wounds.
However, before reacting, Akame swallowed the Pure White, and immediately after, thoroughly chewed and swallowed the five flowers until juice flowed.
“…!!!”
Then the Pure White that had melted and settled inside her body began to emit endless pure magical power, and the juice from the five flowers began to rampage through her body.
Terrible pain followed to the point where she could barely scream, but Akame, who believed in Dam Han-ul, her only hope, gulped down the two bottles of Benevolence.
“Ah…!!”
Then, finally, Akame’s body underwent a positive change.
The soft and warm energy of Benevolence began to calm and gently guide the power of Pure White, the five flowers, the Five-Colored Transforming Flower (五色化明草), and the eye-shaped jewels, the Magic Eyes (魔眼), which were rampaging inside Akame’s body,
At the same time, the energy of the other bottle began to repair Akame’s injured body to a form beyond perfection.
Wudeuk! Wuddeuk!! Ppagagak!!!
Soon, two Magic Eyes with powerful abilities cleanly took the place of her lost eyes without any aftereffects, and the energy of the Five-Colored Transforming Flower completely drove out the poison that was eating away at her body and gave Akame’s body strong resistance and immunity to poison and various other elements.
Pure White restored her shaken and weakened magical powers, and as it was dyed with Akame’s energy, it brought her deeper and stronger magical power, vast magical quantity, and keen senses, and Benevolence not only healed Akame’s internal injuries and wounds but also regrew her lost arm and transformed Akame’s body into a form closer to perfection.
Soon, as the storm of magical power that had been swirling around the huge room subsided, Akame, who staggered to her feet with health regained after too long, looked down at her body and quietly exclaimed.
“Ah…”
Having not only fully recovered her body but become even stronger than her prime, Akame, overcome with emotion, shed tears for a moment, then smiled brightly.
“Ha, our teacher… He has a talent for making someone who was driven to the edge feel ecstatic?”
A life where she was eaten away by poison and internal injuries, lost both eyes and one arm, and lived in seclusion as if dead, unable to die.
Amidst that, she saw a small hope and was enchanted by it, found hope in Korea she visited, and obtained salvation.
Moreover, she had thought it would be fine as long as she could take revenge, but she not only recovered her body that she thought was hopeless and had become half-crippled, but far surpassed her limits and gained power beyond her prime.
He said he only showed the way, but who would think that? If he hadn’t told her, she would never have realized there was such a method in her lifetime!
On top of this, she could probably obtain a new sword and the remaining revenge through him.
She felt anew how great a debt she owed him.
“Well, what can I do? I’ll have to be devoted!”
Akame smiled sincerely for the first time in years and opened the door to go outside.
