How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 70
70. Magic center 1
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the connecting circuit attached to his ankle. The connection circuit climbed like mistletoe and tried to absorb mana.
Passs…
Soon it fell off Kang Seung-hyeon’s body as if it had touched an object that he shouldn’t have touched.
“Are you all right?”
Professor Tansel muttered in disbelief. Others couldn’t stand it at all and collapsed.
“As you can see.”
Kang Seung-hyeon walked past the abnormal magic circuit as if nothing had happened.
Squeak.
As he walked forward, the distorted circuitry clung to and entangled his body, but
passss…
he hurriedly withdrew from his body as before.
As if your hand had touched hot water.
‘It’s probably because I don’t have the magic to suck it up.’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the connecting circuit that was moving away. It fell out of his body as if he had been touched by a being that shouldn’t exist.
‘An existence that doesn’t feel the magic that a normal human should have at all.’
It’s understandable to back off when frightened.
Kang Seung-hyun approached Professor Tansel.
“I know there is something wrong with the power system.”
A huge magic circle drawn in the room and a power system that controls the entire mage tower by extending a connection circuit from the center.
Originally, the entire Crimson Mage Tower should be managed safely, but now it has caused a serious error.
“Can I just hit it to break it?”
“It is useless. That’s not what we’re going to do.”
Professor Tansel shook his head and said.
“Please explain in detail.”
“We were thinking of turning off the power system. If we leave it as it is, the excessively absorbed mana will cause a powerful explosion.”
Tansel headed to the center of magic to block the power system with the top-ranking mages remaining in the mage tower.
“I don’t know why, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with Vice Master Haibe. We proceeded on our own, without much fuss.”
Actually, I know the reason, but I don’t have to tell you. Kang Seung-hyun pretended not to know and kept his mouth shut.
“But the moment we were about to prepare the system stop magic…”
The wizards suddenly collapsed.
‘The magic connection circuit…!’
‘Aaghh!!’
‘Run away!’
The connection circuits that were supposed to spread throughout the Mage Tower suddenly clung to people.
“And in the blink of an eye, the mana was pulled out.”
“If you consume a large amount of mana in a short period of time, you will receive mental damage. That was the reason I fainted.”
Without a special skill, the magical linking circuit cannot be seen or felt.
In addition, there is no physical entity, so the wizards were helpless because they approached through walls or walls.
“Do you know what this means?”
When the wizards tried to stop the system, the power system reacted and attacked the wizards.
“The power system has turned into a monster.”
“Yes.”
Objects that receive strong magic can turn into monsters. The power system had a strong magic power due to an error, so it wouldn’t be strange if it turned into a monster.
‘It’s a world where ordinary herbs become monsters just because they received some magic.’
Seunghyun Kang looked around. I could see magical power connection circuits stretched like a spider’s web all over the room.
They crawled like vines and clung to people’s bodies, drawing their magic.
“The movements were too sophisticated to be called magic.”
It is a behavior close to that of a creature preying on prey.
In fact, the people who collapsed in the room were in a state where magic linking circuits were wrapped around their bodies like insects caught in a spider’s web.
‘It’s like some sci-fi movie. Something that artificial intelligence computers rebel against.’
Kang Seung-hyeon was looking for his colleague Kim Ho-jung, looking at the people who had fallen.
‘Where is Mr. Kim Ho-jeong… Oh, I found him.’
Kang Seung-hyun found Kim Ho-jung. Like everyone else, it was wound up in a magical linking circuit.
When I stretched out my hand over Kim Ho-jung’s body,
the
connection circuit that had been entwined withdrew.
No matter how you look at it, this isn’t magic, it’s the movement of the monster.
“I managed to hold on…but that is the limit.”
Professor Tansel let out a heavy breath.
“That guy has gone beyond what we can do.”
The power system will continue to stretch the connecting circuits to eat more horsepower.
“I am now wrong. But you can move, so take the others and run away from this mage tower.”
Running away from the magic tower.
For now, that’s our only hope.
“I think we can break that thing down.”
Seunghyun Kang looked at the crystal in the center of the power system. If the system turned into a monster, wouldn’t that be the core of the monster?
“But it’s too dangerous! No matter how you are…”
“I don’t know if Shuire heard it, but I can see the magical linking circuit with my own eyes.”
Kang Seung-hyun drank a bottle of stamina potion and looked at the crystal in the center of magic.
“No matter how great a monster is, there is nothing to be afraid of if its weaknesses are obvious.”
[Observation eye]
Even now, the crystal was constantly extracting and consuming the magical powers of the wizards. Information appeared above the crystal.
[The crystal in the center is storing magic power.]
[Magic power] [Magic power]
[Warning] [I want magic power] [Warning]
[If a large shock is applied to the crystal, it explodes.]
[I want to absorb more magic power. .]
[Absorbs mana when in contact.]
[If you continue to absorb mana, it will explode.]
Just looking at the information message, I could feel that it was in a very unstable state.
‘If you keep absorbing mana, you’ll explode. Does it matter if I die?’
It doesn’t matter if the surrounding creatures, of course, disappear. It’s a monster with no purpose or reason other than absorbing mana.
“Physical therapy is the medicine for such a guy.”
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Kang Seung-hyun pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Papabak!
A wooden arrow fired at high speed flew towards the crystal.
supportive!
The power system violently spewed mana and used magic to protect its core.
[Mana Protector]
Ting!
A strong protective shield spread around the crystal. The wooden arrows could not penetrate the shield and bounced off.
“Mana Protector? That thing even uses this skill…!”
“There is nothing strange about becoming a monster.”
“A truly terrifying monster has been born.”
A monster that possesses tremendous magical power and has gained vast magical knowledge from the Mage Tower.
said Professor Tansel with a great sigh.
“The skill he just used is Mana Protector, one of the defense magics. It’s a pretty high level magic.”
“Then I can’t pierce it with weak arrows.”
[Magic Bullet]
Then, a magic circle was drawn in the air, and masses of magic power began pouring out.
PABABABABABA!!!
“What kind of magic is that again?”
“It’s a magic bullet!”
magic bullet. A basic magic that creates and throws a mass of magical power. Unlike complex mana protectors, it is easy to learn, so it is an essential magic for entering the Mage Tower.
“A magic bullet? I heard that it is a basic magic that beginners learn.”
“Magic bullets are basic magic, but the more magic the user possesses, the more powerful it is.”
That’s why the magic bullets of rookie wizards are itchy even if they get hit, but
“If a being overflowing with magical power uses them… it will exert terrifying power.”
“This is equivalent to a missile bombardment.”
Kwaaaang!!
A magic bullet that flew at high speed grazed Kang Seung-hyun’s arm.
“Kuk!”
The damage was so strong that I thought my arm would be ripped off
, but [The effect of the item registered in the slot is activated.]
[2: Orb of Kirkarastel]
The damage received was cut in half thanks to the orb registered in the slot.
“Hey, are you okay? To accept such a thing with your body…”
“It’s okay. Even if I look like this, it’s because I have a body with a holy relic of God.”
Seunghyun Kang muttered as he brushed his numb arms. If it wasn’t for Kirkarashtel’s orb, the arm would have been destroyed.
“A divine relic?”
“It’s hard to memorize because the name is long, but there’s one good item anyway.”
“Are you sure you were an apostle chosen by God?”
Professor Tansel exclaimed in surprise.
“I don’t believe in gods.”
Kang Seung-hyun took out Kirkarashtel’s orb. It looks expensive at first glance, but it is an item specialized for defeating wizards.
“But I believe in expensive and high-performance relics.”
As long as Kang Seung-hyeon has this orb, no matter how great a wizard, he cannot be easily defeated.
Even if it was a monster that absorbed all of the magical tower.
‘I don’t know if I explode by pouring all my magic power.’
Seunghyun Kang put the orb back into the slot. Professor Tansel nodded.
“Somehow, I thought I wasn’t a normal human… but if you received power from a god, I can understand it.”
‘Actually, I didn’t receive it, but I stole it.’
Professor Tansel was seriously mistaken about something, but I don’t think he needs to correct it.
“I can block magic bullets somehow, but the mana protector is the problem.”
‘Actually, I can break it…’
If you wield Kirkarastel’s orb, you can break the mana protector.
‘If I do, my body will explode.’
However, if the orb is removed from the body to break the mana protection, the magic bullets flying from all directions cannot be blocked.
‘But if I don’t break the mana protector, I can’t beat that bastard.’
Kwaaang!
Kang Seung-hyun retreated to avoid the flying magic bullet. Right now, I couldn’t access the crystal because of the mana protector.
“I have to get close to give him a shot. That damn defense is the problem.”
“The mana protector is automatically dispelled after a certain amount of time.”
As Professor Tansel spoke, the shield that protected the crystal disappeared.
[Mana Protector]
But as soon as the mana protector disappeared, the power system activated the skill once again.
“Originally, it’s a skill that consumes a lot of mana, so it can’t be activated often, but it doesn’t seem to mean anything to the power system…” Because
he had so much mana, he was able to use upper level magic to his heart’s content. The mana protector was good enough even after using it hundreds of times.
“I need to use defense cancellation magic to do that, but right now I don’t have the magic to use it.”
Professor Tansel said with a sigh. Even if you drink a potion to replenish your mana, the mana connection circuit will rush in and absorb it in an instant.
[Magic Bullet]
Quaaaaaang!!
Even while the two were doing this, the power system unsparingly used the mana gathered from all directions to attack.
“Then, Professor Tansel, it doesn’t matter if you can’t use your mana right now?”
“yes. It’s no different from what I can’t write now.”
When Professor Tansel nodded, Seunghyun Kang aimed his crossbow at Mana Protector.
“Then first neutralize the mana protector…”
“Is there any way?”
Seunghyun Kang nodded and pulled the trigger.
PABABABAK!!
“I was trying to save it because there wasn’t much left.”
A milky arrow flew from Freea’s crossbow.
[Mana Protector]
The power system always activated the protector, but
“I won’t be able to stop this one.”
rumble.
The created barrier began to melt.
The arrow that Seunghyun Kang fired this time was not an ordinary arrow, but
a ‘scented vinegar gel arrow!’
It was because it was an arrow that melted mana.
