039. Awakening (5)

Cross-legged in the middle of the lake

Deeply sinking his consciousness, he opened the pores of the Mana Road.

Then the densely filled energy of mana tried to invade his body.

If you accept this energy as it is now

The mana rod will not last and will eventually break.

‘In the end, it’s confirmed that I’m a half asshole.’

Zeke blocked Mana from entering through the open door.

‘What I need to do now is not to increase the body’s recovery or mana.’

Again.

A single drop of cold sweat rose from his forehead and fell down his chin into the lake.

‘Keuk.’

My whole body tensed as I tried to forcefully push the big guy down.

His face turned red, and blood vessels protruded from his forehead.

Blood dripped from his bitten lips.

Originally, carving the [Mana Purification Method] into the body is

Through the magical power drawn from the inside, the whole external mana is seized

It was an easy task, all you had to do was lead it in the direction you wanted.

However, the disastrous amount of mana in the body became a problem.

Compared to the dense and heavy external mana, what Zeke can use is

At most, you can thin a loaf of bread or start a small fire.

Only the mana of a cup of water.

The current situation is like the neck of an untamed, violent monster.

It was like saying that you would tie a string with a thin thread and train it to be obedient.

‘I literally pray.’

Whoa-

Jack let out a deep breath.

However, even if the body was such a problem, it was not impossible.

Zeke, who once rose to the highest position in a world where force was everything.

Experience learned by rolling in a dark fantasy world.

The ability to manipulate mana that has reached a state has given enough possibilities to what seems impossible at first glance.

‘The important thing is not to go against the flow.’

I suppressed my heart to be impatient with the frustration of not going as I wanted.

It sharpens consciousness like a blade and raises concentration to the limit.

In the deeply immersed image, the amorphous form of external mana changed into the form of a ferocious beast.

The guy was drooling and glaring at Zeke.

“Kurrr.”

A confrontation was taking place due to Zeke’s strong refusal.

‘Even if it goes back a little long, it goes the right way. You only get one chance.’

slither.

Zeke extracted two strands of mana from his body.

One strand was as thin as a thread, but it was compressed as tightly as possible into a tough form.

The other strand was made thick enough to go against the guy’s planting.

The thick mana stem was hollow inside.

The thick mana moves carefully in front of the beast.

There is almost no flow, so slowly that it appears to be standing still.

“Kreur!!!!!”

However, when it entered a certain range, the guy showed it as if he was in a bad mood.

Sieg hesitated half a step in the mana stem, then backed away.

Bring it back to the borderline

That’s how I drew his attention along the boundary line.

The guy looked at the mana stems in front of his eyes like an annoying fly.

I don’t think I’ll even send a message to eat it right away, but it’s annoying to leave it alone.

The halfwayness made the movement of the external mana hesitate.

‘great… … . Just a little more… … .’

Take advantage of the moment when he is distracted by the mana stream in front of his eyes.

A very thin and tough mana stem was circling the cave.

Eventually, he ran out of patience

“Kheung!”

That moment when he rushes into the thick mana stalk and tries to eat it.

Kwak!

It’s weak to hold tight

A leash that was annoying to be grazing was connected to the external mana.

And while the guy was flustered, the thick stem also touched the external mana.

“Kahaang!”

The guy who was about to violently tear the rope twisted his body as if it tickled him.

Control with a thin mana stem, and at the same time, with a thick mana stem

starting to scratch.

Of course, in Zeke’s mind, that is.

In reality, a much more complex process was taking place.

Zeke’s thin mana stem constantly eats up pure mana,

At the same time, the thick mana stems move and spit out turbid mana.

Make a loop on the outside like that

without going through Zeke’s body

Absorption and excretion were taking place simultaneously.

Then, the external mana, which showed extreme reluctance,

Gradually, he began to be pulled by Zeke’s weak leash.

‘Then let’s lead slowly.’

Zeke pulled the thin mana stem and pulled it into his body.

The leading position is etc.

It is better to engrave a complex technique than a curved chest.

At least my back got better.

‘You are the first to see my back.’

Before long, the external mana reached Sieg’s back.

He tried to break in through the narrow pores again, but

This time, he pulled a thin mana stalk with a subtly strong force.

‘It’s not where you need to go.’

The guy continued to grumble.

As if asking why, when I see a road in front of me, I go round and round instead of going there

But Zeke led, sometimes resolutely, sometimes calmly and calmly.

Cheeik!

Mana took the first dot on the body.

There was smoke burning skin.

‘Let’s relax!’

Now, you have to inscribe tattoos avoiding the pores that have been drilled all over the body.

Even so, the destination will turn around and become a pore connected to the center of the Mana Road.

In the meantime, the key was to deal with his violent nature.

‘Yumma, I know. Be patient. I’ve tried everything too. How long do you think I’ve endured my thirst?’

Tadadak!

External mana runs across the surface of the skin, scratching and roughing it.

The pain of cutting the flesh with a carving knife continued, but there was no change in Zeke’s face.

The mana purifying spell taught by the saintess clearly came to mind in his mind.

And little by little, a blue glowing tattoo was engraved on his back.

The shape of the formula is in a large round circle

It was a complex tangled look of various figures and letters that assisted in spells.

[Mana purification method] to filter out the turbid energy leaving only the purest source

Step 1. A triangular spell that serves to split the external mana’s size is engraved.

‘Weathering’

Step 2. Among the turbid mana, a square spell that leaves parts that can be purified is engraved.

‘deposition’

Step 3. A circular technique is engraved that mixes the pure roots carved from the triangular technique and the roots left from the square technique.

‘Convergence’

last. Purify the accumulated mana

A fortune-telling formula that creates a passage leading to Mana Road.

‘Route’

‘Keep it off!’

Zeke opened his closed eyes.

Ugh-

The mana purification method engraved on Zeke’s back began to activate.

While absorbing all the thick mana in the lake.

The overwhelming pressure of mana pressed down on Zeke’s whole body.

Then, the light from the backlight lit up the cave.

And, a layer of thin film formed over his body.

“Huh. well, did it… … .”

Only then did Zeke open his mouth in a weary voice.

As he sat down, he drew the mana around him with his body.

All mana rod stomata are now closed

Mana from the outside could only come in through the back.

‘I don’t have much mana left because I sucked up all the spells.’

Still, it was confirmed that the mana purification method was properly engraved.

From the mana he brought in, he could feel only one-tenth of the mana seeping into his body.

“Well. It’s a better filter than I thought. I’ll give you a plus one more. -998 points.”

Considering Zeke’s body, it could be said to be the most efficient and ideal form.

Even if he drew mana into his body, he didn’t feel as weak as before.

‘Now I really won’t faint.’

Zeke got up from his seat and warmed up.

Wooddeuk. Wooddeuk.

My body, which had been hardened with tension, loosened and I heard the sound of my bones.

Zeke reached out and lit a fire.

What used to be the ember of a single match is growing exponentially

A fist-sized fire broke out.

“From a lighter to a torch now.”

Zeke took out Yutra’s magic stone from the clothes he took off.

Then, the magic stone in Zeke’s hand was healed by the mana purification method.

It automatically turned into a small ring shape.

‘Let’s engrave a transformation formula with this.’

There are at most three spells that can be engraved on the body.

No, three were too many. Two were stable.

If you engrave more than that, the magical powers of the spells will be twisted.

It becomes like a bomb that you don’t know when it will explode.

There were so few choices

Without hesitation, Zeke chose the [Transformation Spell].

Unlike the time when the mana purification method was carved into the body with great difficulty

In an instant, Yutra’s magic stone changed into a liquid form and tattooed the back of Zeke’s hand.

Being able to freely draw and use external mana was, of course, different in efficiency.

‘There’s nothing like this in terms of utility.’

The nature of mana is different for each person

It was difficult and inefficient for one person’s mana to interfere with another person’s mana.

‘But if there’s a conversion technique, you can assimilate magic power.’

If you have this, it is also helpful to intervene and train Soy Spoon’s Berserker.

It was also good to teach Serena the female-only rapier swordsmanship, Cheonyugeom.

In addition, the use of erasing traces

Disguise your magic patterns as those of your enemies

It was also perfect for use in a confusing way.

Zeke changed the magic pattern of the cave as a test.

Yutra’s habitat has already become an ordinary cave as all mana has been sucked into it.

A blue light shimmered on the back of Zeke’s hand, and the properties of the remaining magical remnants changed.

‘By the way, have you ever analyzed the magic pattern of an incident?’

However, there was nothing bad about it, so Zeke passed it lightly.

‘The remaining magic stones… … . It could be used as a battery, but it’s a bit wasteful to use it like that.’

Carving two or more spells into one’s body was a burden, so

Zeke thought about how to do this.

‘When the basic physical strength of the children increases, how much should I use to teach them how to practice?’

The 7 tiny mana stones were not enough to be used in the mana technique, but

Equipped with a mana filter, Sieg was able to supply magic stones with a different efficiency than before.

Zeke pondered over which mana training method was suitable for each student.

‘I’ll have to look at the magic pattern first. First of all, Serena.’

We lived in the same mansion anyway.

Take off your upper body and place your hands on the center of your body.

I was able to confirm the magic pattern

Serena was the right target for the first one.

‘Let’s see Serena’s back.’

* * *

Fain!

“About three hours left.”

Zeke blows his hair in the wind

I figured out the way back to the mansion.

He spurred his feet and headed toward the island.

Land on the ground and with each stomp

The new model is pushed straight forward in an instant.

Fain!

“What is that?!”

“A new monster!?”

The adventurers pick up their weapons in amazement at the words of an adventurer.

“Did something go wrong?”

“Mo, I don’t know… … . Could be a bird… … .”

“Isn’t it dangerous!?”

“It seems to have passed. it’s okay.”

Adventurers who couldn’t catch Zeke’s movements

He said with a dumbfounded face.

“By the way, the head of the union said he was seriously injured this time?”

“So. Just what kind of bastard he is!”

“You were attacked, but why didn’t you say anything? Our adventurers will protect you.”

“Well, he seems very scared of something. He must be someone we can’t touch.”

“Ah, then I can’t help it. Let’s give up.”

Zeke’s more sensitive ears could hear their conversation.

‘Ah, that child. Let’s go with one more warning.’

Needless worries about the adventurer’s guild leader

It ended up prolonging his hospital stay.

*

The head of the adventurer’s guild was wrapped in bandages in a private room at a high-end medical center.

He was shaking his head and moaning.

“Damn it. Damn it. What do we do!?”

The recording crystal ball was stolen by some madman.

The price was also a price, but the person who handed it over was more of a problem.

In the meantime, the documents left as evidence were also problematic, but the recording crystal ball was different.

‘If I get caught by him, I’m dead.’

My body trembles just thinking about his face.

As soon as he leaves the island

To kill it and get the crystal ball back

I sent an assassin raised in secret for a long time,

Less than an hour later, only the neck returned.

There were also bloody threats.

“Because what the hell are you doing… … . To think that such a monster was hiding in the academy.”

“A monster. Are you talking about me?”

“yes! That sullen voice… … .”

huh?

The guild leader slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead.

“!”

cook.

Before I knew it, a piece of bread was stuck in my throat.

‘Guard!!!!!!!!!!’

I tried to scream, but the uvula tightened my throat

No sound came out of my mouth.

“Keep it off… … .”

There was only a thin rustle of wind.

“I definitely said next, but in fact I’m a little behind. so that you understand.”

shit.

At the corner of Zeke’s slightly raised mouth, the head of the union kept his eyes wide open.

There was nothing I could do.

“And while we’re here, let’s try listening to the crystal ball together.”
