To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 122
Episode 122 The Mana Road’s Burden
The priest shook his head slightly at Iriel’s words.
“no. I was simply admiring the holy woman’s amazing divine power for a moment. Please forgive the rudeness.”
“That’s okay, deploy troops in the academy area and send rescue supplies. The refugees were ordered to evacuate by dividing them into Gehel and Silien. I’ll leave it to the high priest to deal with it from now on.”
As if he didn’t want to say anything more, he left only those words and went inside the castle.
At that, the priest’s head bowed deeply.
Only one expression remained unchanged from the first time.
He looked at Iriel’s back with a hardened face.
* * *
Ray, who caused an earthquake in an area and made it almost collapse, was able to notice the existence of the magic circle.
‘Could this be a building drawing a magic circle?’
Even Ray, who wasn’t surprised by anything, couldn’t help but be astonished.
Even the radius of the city center and the structure height of the built buildings were tinged with the rune words of the magic circle.
Is it really possible to design and build all the buildings in an area according to the magic circle?
Moreover, that fact was proven the more buildings were destroyed.
It was because every time the buildings collapsed in the aftermath of the earthquake, he felt that the magic circle was getting disorganized little by little.
Ray began to interpret the entire city center as one magic circle.
Assuming a role in the magic circle by looking at the shape and location of the building.
If it is incorrect, try substituting it in another building and substituting it in the location in the rune word of the magic circle.
If you do it one by one, you will be able to know the type of magic circle.
If it is possible to completely dig it out, it will probably be possible to cancel it.
Therefore, the calculation speed was very fast.
It is something he, not anyone else, decides and uses his head.
The formula for when the magic circle was manifested and the locations of the runes were completely reestablished in Ray’s head.
Compare the buildings to the rune words and transform them into a magic circle blueprint in your head.
Perhaps if other wizards had known this fact, they might have been in great shock as if they were hit by a shock wave.
What Rei was doing now was so absurd that he was disassembling and reinterpreting the runes of the magic circle one by one that he didn’t even know what they were.
Looking at the entire magic circle, it is impossible to know what kind of magic is performed, but if you disassemble the runes and put them together like a puzzle, you will be able to know what kind of magic will be done.
It is the same logic as giving primitive people blueprints for a state-of-the-art building and asking them to build it.
No matter how devilish the brain is, the task requires tremendous mental power.
I started to feel a fever so much that I could feel my head heating up.
‘no. neither is this If you’re going to break it, there’s no need to make it this big.’
With a few deductions, the magic circles were culled in an instant.
There was nothing one could be sure of.
So the thoughts continued without stopping.
Demolition of buildings was at a standstill.
It’s because if you destroy everything before you can analyze it, you won’t be able to figure out what purpose the magic circle was created for.
After stopping Earthquake and clinging to the analysis of the magic circle, Ray suddenly vomited blood.
“Cool!”
Red blood spurted out of his mouth.
Feeling strange about him, Ray began to check his own physical condition.
‘Not dead blood, but raw blood poured out.’
The fact that black blood was spat out was evidence that the body was properly fighting by making antibodies.
Hana raw blood spilled as it is?
It was a pretty serious problem.
Just in case, Ray gathered mana around him.
Then he cast a spell on himself.
“Heal.”
Hwaaak –
Blue mana permeates the body and begins to glow.
Ray, feeling anemic from the momentary spilled blood, touched his forehead and shook his head.
I was quite embarrassed when I suddenly felt something wrong with my body.
After I healed myself, I felt a little better.
“What the hell is going on…”
Even though he must have used the healing magic, his ears gradually went blank and his eyes became dry.
However, I couldn’t give up the interpretation of the magic circle.
Even if there were only a few people left in the academy area, it was a matter of one area at stake.
Ray interpreted the runes and layout of the buildings again.
I couldn’t stop even though I knew I was in a strange state.
Could it have been less than an hour? Little by little, Ray was able to get a clue to the magic circle.
It was almost impossible to interpret the rune language of such a large-scale magic circle with just one piece.
But he was doing the impossible.
At that moment, I felt the magic circle activate.
Wow!
A sound like a cascading waterfall resounded, and the enormous mana condensed in the magic circle began to move.
However, the flow of that mana was somehow strange.
This is because it began to spread widely like fog instead of being expressed in one place.
The mana began to bind Ray.
They were no longer atmospheric mana for Ray to move.
No, it was atmospheric mana, but it was already out of control because it was moving by the magic circle.
Ray suddenly began to turn the mana that was pressuring him outward.
That flow is somehow familiar.
Compared to the monotonous and natural movements, should I say that there is a sense of incongruity?
Chills ran down my spine.
“No way…”
This magic circle wasn’t meant to destroy the area nor to destroy all life.
A magic circle to bind only one person.
I don’t know who the target will be, but it was a magic circle laid out in the form of insurance for the future.
A magic circle meant to lure opponents and keep them sealed.
Yes, as if Aira had been asleep for twenty years.
At that time, Ira said this.
‘It’s more like a curse than a disease.’
Was that what the word meant?
As long as the magic circle has already been activated, I can’t escape.
If that’s the case, there will be nothing left to resist here.
Ray gathered all the mana around him and pushed the huge mana pouring out of the magic circle.
For Ray, who can draw all the mana around him in the first place, this amount of mana is enough to push him away.
However, the problem was elsewhere.
“Cheak!”
He spat out red blood again.
The mana load inside the body, which draws and uses mana from the air, is beginning to become a burden.
Normally, this amount of mana could easily be drawn away.
However, a considerable amount of buildings were destroyed with Earth Quake.
As much as the earthquake was caused artificially, ignorant mana was used.
Of course it’s fine until there.
For Ray, there is no limit to mana.
The problem was in the mana rod that used that mana.
His mana is infinite, but the mana rod cannot endure that infinite mana forever.
Although Ray had a mana rod that was strong and wide enough to be incomparable to other wizards’ mana rods, it was not a mana rod that could draw infinite mana forever.
Of course, if you continue to draw a huge amount of mana and use it, the crowd will go.
It was unreasonable unless it was a god that there was no problem since a single wizard caused earthquakes of that magnitude over and over again.
Even a high-ranking mage would take a certain amount of risk from the mana load when using magic.
For Ray, that risk became hemoptysis and spits out raw blood.
Ray shook his head, feeling slightly dizzy.
Now is not the time to worry about hemoptysis.
If you stop the mana even for a moment, the magic circle’s mana will eat away at you and come in.
If I had known it would be like this, I would not have thought of coming to the area where the magic circle was taking place.
‘I was too conceited…!’
Because he was confident in his own strength, he believed that he could protect his own life at the level of a magic circle.
He had enough strength to win the battle against the Bone Dragon, so that confidence was natural.
First we have to get out of here.
Only when you leave this area will another number come into play.
With that thought in mind, it was time for Ray to move forward.
“Kurerureu…”
“Khaaaaaaa!”
I could see several monsters starting to line up around me.
It was the timing as if someone was aiming for it.
‘Those monsters…’
Without aiming for him, the monsters started walking in their own directions in unison.
The directions are north and south respectively.
It was the region of Shillien and Gehel.
Are you targeting refugees?
Ray gritted his teeth and fashioned a sword from his hand.
Ung-ung-
Even making that one sword was a small burden.
It’s probably because of the combination of the burden of the mana road and the elements of activating the magic circle.
‘Clear all other thoughts for now. Killing the monsters drives out the magic circle’s mana.’
It’s absurd, but that’s the only answer.
If he fails, he will be hit by the magic circle.
Moreover, he could not imagine what would happen if he was hit by that mana.
I won’t lose my life, but I don’t think I’ll be able to stay intact.
Ray rammed into the monsters and slashed cleanly where their arteries were.
Sukkuk-
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
Fifteen monsters splattered on the floor with a single sword.
However, the number of monsters was much greater than that.
Ray’s burden of looking at him only grew.
‘I’m going crazy.’
The monsters that started advancing towards Silien were not easy to see.
Of course, if you set your mind to it, there’s nothing you can’t kill, but if that happens, you have to give up some of your comfort.
Mars flickered in front of his eyes.
The image of her crying endlessly while holding her dead brother Chris in her arms flashed through my mind.
If you can’t stop it here, you’ll probably see it again.
Ray let out a sigh.
“Whoa… I will really turn around.”
That’s what he said, but the sword in his hand takes strength.
The trail of the sword drew a graceful curve and took away the lives of the monsters.
Sharp-Pip-
Pikes and slashes poured naturally like water flowing, destroying the front lines of the monsters.
Along with him, the Mana Road throbbed.
It’s true that he used a lot of mana, but no matter how much, the mana rod suddenly hurts like this.
The reason why the mana load was burdened like this could be the magic circle.
Since this amount of mana was forcibly suppressing him, he had to at least push back with the corresponding amount of mana.
While resisting the magic circle by moving that enormous mana, it was inevitable that it would be a burden because he was maintaining his aura to deal with monsters.
In addition, the mana used for Earth Quake, which was used to destroy the building, far exceeds the amount of mana used when casting fake Meteor.
I didn’t even know if this kind of action was natural since I overworked the mana rod that much.
In the meantime, I didn’t have a chance to use mana as much as this, so I probably didn’t know.
Wiping the blood from his mouth with a pale complexion, Ray rushed towards the monster again.
Have you ever been in such a bad state after coming to this world?
In short, there won’t be.
As such, the current situation was quite tense.
It would be fine if he took a little break, but the magic circle and monsters didn’t give him a chance.
Ray, who was cutting down the leading monster, was delayed in Mana’s response for an instant.
Oops, in that brief moment, the mana generated by the magic circle was consumed by Ray.
In an instant, my body feels heavy and I feel sleepy.
Yes. I know after experiencing it once.
This familiar flow of mana and the incense of breath.
A sweet fruity scent spreads out, reminding you of what happened in the elven village.
I don’t know what this magic is, but it was the same as the one Ira had.
