Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 51
Episode 51:
Blue Yeon’s Labyrinth
“Bee… Moses Water?”
At that moment, Augustine’s jaw dropped and his mouth fell open.
It’s true that I had high expectations because Elric was showing proper training skills, but the effect was much more amazing than I expected!
“Eh? “If it’s bee washing, isn’t that a way to artificially drain waste and toxins from the Mana Road?”
Giliti had some vague knowledge about the East thanks to Augustine.
Among them, it is known that bee seed washing can only be done by a master with outstanding skill or through a hwandan that boasts extreme efficiency.
However, Elric was able to achieve this using only the materials provided as a basis.
“This old man… I don’t know. haha! “I thought I knew the basics of refining techniques, but isn’t this how I’ve guided that child to a complete bonanza?”
How much more surprised do we have to be because of that kid?
‘If this continues, I don’t think it would be surprising if I had a cardiac arrest. haha!’
Even for him, who prided himself on having seen almost every miracle in the world, the existence of Elric was truly full of mystery.
Augustine repeatedly promised himself that he would no longer be surprised by that.
I don’t know how much better that will work.
“I guess I should correct one thing I said to you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you ask how far you could reach among the five levels?”
“Didn’t you say it was level 3? no way…?”
“okay. “Wouldn’t that child be able to reach level 5?”
“her!”
Giliti laughed out loud, saying he was astonished, but it suddenly occurred to him that Augustine’s prediction might not be entirely wrong.
What if you correct your mana load, awaken your demonic energy, and even fully realize your breathing technique…?
It really is not impossible, as Augustine said.
‘In fact, he showed a strange martial arts technique that appeared to be a strong body technique. ‘What on earth is that little guy?’
Giliti shook her head.
Even in the meantime.
Augustine continued to watch Elric’s actions with intense eyes.
The Elric in the crystal ball continued to excrete waste.
And when I opened my eyes again a few hours later.
Elric’s eyes were somehow full of power.
and.
His arm was clearly broken and his exhausted body had almost recovered.
* * *
after that.
Elric’s life as seen in the canyon followed a certain routine.
I woke up at 7 a.m., fueled my calories with the dire wolf meat I had smoked the night before, and devoted myself to training in body techniques for about three hours.
Focus on breathing, relax your body, and channel your magic power to observe the changes in your body as much as possible.
After that, I focused on exploring the labyrinth until 4 PM.
In order to get out of this place, I had to figure out the structure as quickly as possible.
but.
There was another reason for this.
‘The structure of this place… if it is the same way as during the Jin Palace, it is clearly a magic power circuit.’
Since starting to consume the pills, Elric has been regaining his magic little by little.
Of course, compared to the dissolution rate it had before falling into the labyrinth, it was still only a very small amount.
Still, the difference between being able to use magical power and not was very big.
And depending on how this is operated and efficiency is achieved, the difference becomes much wider.
This was exactly what Elric noticed.
round.
Hasn’t the efficiency of magical power been greatly improved using ideas obtained from Cheongyeon’s Jin Palace?
However, it was clear that it would be of great help if we could incorporate Cheongyeon’s Labyrinth, which is higher-level compatibility.
And Elric firmly believed that finding out was the key to passing the ordeal.
‘If what Mephisto says is really true, the magic fighting techniques of the Green Field are definitely based on magical power circulation. If the purpose of the ordeal is to test and allow the initiate to learn the skills of the deer field, then this is certain.’
So, I wanted to focus on exploring the labyrinth.
The problem was that navigation was never an easy task.
Dire Wolves appeared everywhere.
And of course, everyone had starved for a few days.
‘At first, there were only one or two, but as we go deeper into the labyrinth, the number of dire wolves continues to increase.’
And every time he ran into those guys, Elric always got seriously injured.
No matter how steadily the magic power returned, it was not that easy to deal with dire wolves all at once.
Moreover, wolves are naturally pack animals.
Two dogs were more dangerous than one, and three dogs were more dangerous than two. As the number of individuals increases, various tactics can be deployed, so the level of difficulty that Elric must endure also increases exponentially.
However, thanks to this, the achievement of rigid body techniques was much faster than before.
Through various trials and errors, I was becoming somewhat familiar with the magical power circulation of magic arts.
‘After all, practical training is the only answer.’
I really don’t like suffering like this.
Elric always smiled bitterly like that after going through a rough fight.
anyway.
After completing our search to the area we targeted in the morning, we returned straight to base before the sun set.
This was because it became too dangerous at night and the body needed some rest.
This was also a time to reorganize my body.
It’s like checking the inside of a magic tool that you’ve used with great pleasure to make sure it’s not damaged, cleaning the inside, and repairing the code.
Elric proceeded with the bee wash by swallowing pills made from crushed Anaxunamun flowers one by one.
『Regardless of whether they are humans or demons, all beings born with life accumulate waste in their mana rods as they age. If it continues to accumulate, the blood becomes clogged and the pulse closes. Then the potential or possibility disappears.』
This is why people who enter the magic arts at a later age are slower to achieve. Mephisto explained it that way.
『But the story is different when you use bee wash. It excretes waste products from the body, pierces the blood, and opens the veins. From then on, the story changes completely. Anything becomes acceptable. It’s like having a very large vessel.』
Elric has only been snooping around in the magic world for over twenty years and has not been properly initiated.
In addition, he suffered from arthrosis, so his growth was bound to be limited.
This is because even if the arteriosclerosis was treated through Qiyeon, the remaining waste products had already built up a strong dam in the blood and veins.
But what if you could clean this with bee wash?
The story is completely different.
『The flower of Anaxunamun forcibly breaks down such a dam. Melt it with magic energy and pierce it with magic power. But the current deer field doesn’t seem to know that at all?』
Mephisto snorted at the inheritor of the deer field, who was probably shocked right now.
『Anyway, you are taking such a cleanly made vessel and putting new contents called Gangchejutsu and Demonic Jutsu… It’s like something completely new.』 Why on
earth is this guy so lucky? Mephisto thought so.
Magic fighting techniques circulate magical power, and rigid body techniques release it. It is about making it fully equipped both inside and outside at the same time.
That’s why Mephisto was able to declare.
『When I get out of here completely. You will definitely look completely different from when you came in.』
Before that, you were just a monk who could only use magic.
By then, you will have become a warrior who knows not only magic but also how to fight.
* * *
Although Mephisto spoke so excitedly.
There was also something that bothered me.
“…what? Why is there no change? There are definitely traces of demonic energy in it?』
Mephisto frowned and chewed his fingertips.
Something was strange.
Clearly, Elric’s growth was progressing smoothly as he had hoped.
Not only did it bring about internal and external development at the same time, but it was also confirmed that the seal was also developing steadily through the magic energy mixed in the hwandan.
The problem was that there was only one seal that developed.
Seal of cruelty.
A new appearance has been added to the previously 5-star seal.
It wasn’t a complete 6 star.
However, it was clear that if he continued to swallow Hwandan like this, he would soon achieve it.
However, there has been no change in the Seal of Original Sin so far…
『Could it be that the demonic energy is only accumulated in the Seal of Remorselessness? But to find out that much, you’d have to completely analyze the seal, right? That’s probably not it. Damn it!』
No matter how genius Elric was, it was absolutely impossible for him to understand the structure of the seal.
Because it was not at a level that could be touched by human magic knowledge.
If he had done so, the lock on the seal of original sin would have been released long ago.
But if not, wouldn’t it make no sense to only send the consumed magical energy to the Relentless Seal?
Mephisto couldn’t even ask why, so he was left deep in thought, clutching his temples alone.
I was wondering if I had made a mistake.
“What’s wrong, Mephie? Is something wrong?”
Elric knew of Mephisto’s frustration, but he pretended not to notice and just passed by him.
『Hmm? no! “Nothing!”
“Then that’s enough. “I’m going to leave soon, so if you want to go with me, please come out.”
『Ah, I understand.』
Mephisto finished his martial arts training like any other morning and quietly followed Elric as he exited the cave like a sword as soon as 10 o’clock.
There was no strength in his steps at all.
‘Hehe! Please continue to worry about yourself like that. That won’t change anything.’
Elric forced back the laughter that was trying to escape his lips.
If there was something that Mephisto missed, it was that Nokya’s magic circulation method was at a much higher level than he thought.
And Elric had the Mind’s Eye, a means that could sufficiently assist with this.
Elric ate pills every night and examined his body thoroughly while circulating magical energy based on the structure of the labyrinth he had figured out.
The goal was to clearly understand the relationship between the body and magical power, including the direction in which magical energy flows, its location, and what function it performs.
And based on this, I gained a deep understanding of the human body and mana load.
Among them was how magical power and magical energy were connected through seals.
Even though he had no idea about the seal’s trigger or process, that was enough for Elric.
It was possible to fundamentally block the Magi from using the Seal of Original Sin unnecessarily.
Therefore, all of Mephisto’s plans to gain independence by growing the Seal of Original Sin were in vain.
‘So what? People should live with good hearts, right? If you had just taught me with good intentions, do you think I would have taken care of it on my own?’
As Elric, it was a natural choice to develop the Seal of Relentlessness rather than the Seal of Original Sin, which had no trigger. After
confirming
that Mephisto, who was drooping like a large dog caught in the rain, was following him, Elric turned his head forward again and began exploring the labyrinth.
Today I planned to go much deeper than usual.
‘If my prediction is correct… 70% of the labyrinth exploration has been completed so far. But the remaining 30% is sure to contain the dire wolf pack’s main base.’
Exploration of the labyrinth has slowed down a lot recently.
Dire Wolves appeared in groups at every turn along the way, causing trouble.
‘As long as they continue to interfere, exploration of the labyrinth will fail. First, we must eradicate all of them.’
I am now so used to the art of strong body and magic fighting that I can say that I am ‘proficient’ to a certain degree.
The magic power was also at a usable level.
so.
‘From now on, I will hunt dire wolves.’
From being the hunted to becoming the hunter.
Find the dire wolf’s base and capture the leader within 3 days.
So, learn the complete magic circulation method of Nokya.
That was Elric’s goal.
