Chapter 123 Circle Strengthening

A dungeon break in the middle of Seoul.

It was not just a problem in Seoul.

The same phenomenon occurred in all countries where demons appeared and collided with humans.

Korea was the best prepared for this phenomenon.

“If Hunter Yu Seo-jun hadn’t said anything, it would have been a real big deal.”

From noble mtl dot com

Nevertheless, Pyo Chun-deuk, looking at the almost half-destroyed buildings in Seoul, said.

“Strange. All the guys who rushed at me so terrifyingly got lost and ran away? Are you missing something?”

Hunter from the Korean branch, who was assisting Pyo Chun-deuk, shook his head.

“What do I know?”

“Okay, I asked something stupid. What about the other places?”

“Ah, the damage is severe for everyone, but the Demons and Witchbeasts say they have all retreated.”

“News from America?”

The most important thing was the news from the United States headed by Yoo Seo-joon.

The dungeon break that occurred in each country was closer to defeat than human victory.

The important thing was whether or not they defeated the demons who belonged to the leadership at the guard headquarters.

“No contact yet.”

Hunter, who was reporting, also replied with a frustrated expression.

“Director!”

At that time, another Hunter belonging to the branch approached and shouted.

“What is it?”

“Contact from America!”

Pyo Chun-deuk snatched the phone he was holding and held it to his ear.

“I am the head of the Korean branch.”

The long awaited news came over the phone.

“Okay.”

Taking the phone off his ear, Pyo Cheon-deuk returned it to the association personnel and looked at the battlefield.

Many hunters were killed and injured.

Damage restoration began, and injured hunters were being treated on one side.

On the other hand, Pyo Chun-deuk gave them the good news, even though he had a gloomy expression on his face.

‘Now, there will be no place for me to stand.’

Perhaps, he thought that the time for his retirement had come.

Upon hearing the news of victory from Pyo Cheon-deuk, the hunters at the scene sighed in relief.

And at the same time, they all put on gloomy faces.

He couldn’t find the courage to express his joy at the sight of his comrades lying around him.

“Princess, please go back.”

And among them was Princess Pieta Cetric, who was under the protection of the Avengers.

“I will be with them until the end.”

The princess said with a stubborn expression to Ruman Peerton, who gave her a worried look.

“All right. Then, instead, my cape… … .”

Luman took off his cloak and handed it to the princess.

The current appearance of the princess was full of traces of her participation in battle.

Luman’s duty was to protect not only the safety of the princess in a foreign country, but also her dignity.

“Thank you, Lord Luman.”

flutter!

The princess, knowing Luman’s heart, gratefully received his mantle and wrapped it around her body.

“It is an honour!”

Luman put his hand on his chest with a thrilled expression and bowed his head.

The princess put on a cloak and walked towards Pyo Chun-deuk.

“You said you were their representative, right?”

As the princess approached, Pyo Cheon-deuk pondered over how to treat her.

“exactly. Thank you for fighting with us.”

The first time the Avengers members arrived on the scene, they heard unbelievable stories.

Are you a princess?

However, the testimony of the Avengers members and the appearance of Luman and Princess Pieta soon proved that it was not a lie.

And when the battle began, they fought more valiantly than any other hunters and protected Korea together.

Pyo Chun-deuk knew how to treat them in this situation due to his long military life.

She was the princess of an empire who risked her life in a foreign country.

In modern times, the president’s daughter went to war with a gun herself.

“I will never forget this favor.”

Pyo Cheon-deuk sincerely greeted the princess.

Rather, the princess shook her head.

“I’m just repaying the favor the empire has received from Count Yu Seo-jun.”

I don’t know what’s going on inside, but it’s clear from her words that Yoo Seo-joon went to the other world and made some kind of contribution.

‘You surprise me every time.’

Pyo Chun-deuk thought about his greatness once again and reprimanded himself for trying to ignore him in the past.

‘I must have been thinking wrong.’

Pyo Chun-deuk sighed deeply when he realized that he had lived as a soldier full of desires, thinking only of promotions and promotions.

‘It’s really time to retire.’

With that thought in mind, he asked the princess who came to visit him.

“What are you curious about?”

I guessed why the princess had come, but I still thought it was polite to ask.

“When will Count Yoo Seo-jun return?”

The princess’ question had nothing to do with winning or losing.

She thought that Yoo Seo-joon would win and come back.

‘They say she’s the princess of the empire, it’s no joke.’

The princess’s mental strength made Pyo Cheon-deuk wonder about the otherworldly empire.

If the princess, not the emperor, had this level of spirit and mental strength, it would be clear that it was a powerful country.

“The war is over, we will be back soon. I haven’t heard of any schedule yet.”

Pyo Chun-deuk conveyed only the truth he knew.

“Thanks for the reply. Then, I will return to the Avengers.”

The princess left those words and returned to her entourage, Luman, and the Avengers.

Pyo Chun-deuk looked at their backs and inadvertently looked up at the sky.

The sky was blue as usual.

However, today’s sky came to Pyo Chun-deuk differently.

‘I must have lived in the dark.’

Looking at the sky, he looked at the hunters on the battlefield with more strength and clearer eyes.

It was a look of determination.

flash

It felt like a long dream.

However, I didn’t feel bad.

Rather, it was pleasant.

My whole body felt lighter and I felt healthier than before.

The surroundings were quiet.

I got out of bed and went to the window.

It was still early in the morning.

The dawn glow was illuminating the world with purple light.

It quickly became a red light and turned the world white.

morning was coming

Looking at the scenery of the city hidden in the darkness of the night, I recalled my encounter with the Demon King.

‘Then, I’m looking forward to it.’

The Demon King said he would wait for us in the Demon Realm.

I raised my arm and squeezed my hand.

powerful force.

Obviously, while fighting the Keruin, I could feel the great power of the elements once again.

Even so, I found myself weighed down by the Demon King’s momentum.

‘It’s still not enough.’

I thought everything was ready, but I wasn’t ready.

In order to defeat the Demon King, greater power was needed.

Judging from the Demon King’s behavior at the time, he didn’t know that he might have to stick with Kerouin again.

Even though he clearly cut his body in half, the demon king threw him through the gate and told him to prepare for punishment.

I had to be strong to overcome those anxiety factors.

Before that, I had to find out my condition first.

If there was one thing that changed the most after the battle, it was the characteristic skill.

As the 7th circle went up to the 8th circle, element utilization and element decomposition, which were grade A, went up to SSS grade.

Link Master’s level also rose by 5 levels.

Although he had reached level 40, nothing had changed in particular this time.

.

I spread the spoils from the fights so far on the table.

You must use all of these to defeat the Demon King.

‘Gilliant, are you sleeping?’

[It’s been a long time since I woke up.]

There was something I wanted to ask Gilliant, who was resting in the necklace.

‘I said before that I could absorb the mana of the Awakening Stone, right?’

Right now, my mana was enough to use the Elemental Convergence skill three times without relying on Gillian.

From noble mtl dot com

Now, I needed good quality mana to use the two characteristics efficiently.

[However, it is dangerous. Did you see it too?]

Know.

How did Kim Min-cheol, who had such greed, die?

Because I was the one who scattered the rampaging mana in the field.

‘Wouldn’t that be possible now?’

However, I was very different then and now.

I wanted to check the strength that has developed over the past two years.

because it needed more power.

Gilliant, who had been silent, spoke.

[In that case, move the location. It’s dangerous here.]

He was right.

If something went wrong here, it would be dangerous not only for me but also for the people I was staying with.

I packed the things in front of me and quietly left the building.

I thought of a suitable place.

‘Gilliant, let’s go to the cliff. There are snakes.’

[i get it.]

From noble mtl dot com

Now, magic was easy for Gillian, who had become a true adult.

The movement magic caused me to tremble for a while, and after a successful warp, I looked down the cliff.

There were snake corpses that had not yet been disposed of.

‘Then, shall we try?’

First of all, I lifted the Class A Awakening Stone.

The S-class Awakening Stone was too risky, so I chose A-class.

I slowly began to use mana to control the mana contained in the Awakening Stone.

I took out the mana carefully, not in a hurry, as if admonishing him.

Mana naturally escaped as I intended and sparkled purple in the air.

[Good job. Now you have to melt that mana into your circle.]

Wizards’ mana accumulates in circles.

I have 8 circles now.

From noble mtl dot com

New mana had to be injected into the mana of the full circle.

[It is important to allow each other to adapt.]

“Kuk.”

As the new mana entered the circle surrounding the heart, a strong repulsive force arose.

Mana fluctuated as if territorial.

“No, I’m not trying to attack you.”

It may look like a crazy person to anyone, but I realized it while communicating with the elements.

Mana also has a will.

That’s why I had to convince even the mana that belonged to me.

“You saw that powerful force.”

At the time when I encountered the demon king, apart from my beating heart, my mana also ran amok.

A warning has been sent

never fight

However, it was something that had to be fought.

I had to fight him and win.

pounding!

Was my will communicated?

The eight rings of circles surrounding the outside of the heart began to move.

pounding!

Heart pounding again.

The rings of mana began to beat like a heart.

And the throbbing feeling.

“Heuk!”

Black blood gushed out along with the pain that gripped his chest.

“Wow!”

He spat out the blood that filled his mouth.

Blood poured out, but rather, he felt comfortable inside.

Then, a message window popped up in front of me.

[Circle strengthening success!]

Strengthen the circle?

I hurriedly looked at the circle, and I could clearly feel the eight rings that were thicker and larger than before.

He could also feel the flow of mana circulating vigorously in it.

pounding!

Just as the heart pumps blood throughout the body.

pounding!

The eight circles were sending mana through their bodies.

It was the first time he had felt so much mana overflowing in his body.

And then, the message window popped up once again.

[Do you want to continue strengthening the circle using the remaining Awakening Stones?]

pounding!

This time, it was a thrill of excitement.

I got out of the necklace before I knew it and looked back at Gilliant standing next to me.

“You succeeded.”

he said with a smile.

“Can I do more?”

Did he notice my excited heart? Gillian shook his head.

“Arthur, greed is forbidden. And you have to do something else with the remaining Awakening Stones.”

The amount of mana increased three times with only A-class awakening stones, and the concentration of mana also increased.

But if it’s an S-class Awakening Stone… … .

It was the other voices that stopped me from licking my lips.

[I heard that human greed has no end… … .]

[If the amount of mana is the problem, I think we’ve already given the answer?]

It was the voice of the elements of fire and air.

Another thing that changed after the battle was that communication with the elements became smoother.

Certainly, if the amount of mana was the only problem, there was a way to use the mana around him, which he showed when dealing with Kerouin.

“Unless you have the body of a dragon, it is difficult for a human body to hold more mana than this.”

“I get it. I won’t.”

Gilliant’s words made sense.

I wanted to use thicker and stronger mana, but if I wanted more here, it seemed like I couldn’t handle it.

Instead, I lined up the remaining Awakening Stones and used my second talent after a long time.

[Card Draw]

One S-class and several A- and B-class Awakening Stones began to glow.

In addition, there was an Awakening Stone of snakes that had not yet been mined at the bottom of the cliff.

“You, no way!”

Gilliant, realizing my intentions, asked in surprise.

“Is that why you asked to come here?”

“huh.”

I smiled and used the skill.

From noble mtl dot com

Numerous Awakening Stones laid down by the snakes under the cliff began to glow in their own colors and be absorbed into a single card floating in front of me.

I watched it with excitement.

Soon, the golden cards that had been absorbed spread all over the place, emitting an intense red light.

There were so many cards lined up in front of me that it was hard to count them.
