Episode 83
* * *
I went into the basement.
First, we see Thanos trying to look as calm as possible.
As far as I know, the time the guy was stuck in the 2nd circle was about 3 years.
The guy who went from Circle 2 to Circle 3 in 3 years still seemed to be trying to control his emotions.
Of course, it was only on the surface, and I couldn’t help but see that he was really happy and wanted to cheer.
Still, I just let it go, thinking, “Well, that’s what it is.”
Then, the guy bows his head deeply toward me.
“Thank you, my lord.”
I lightly patted his shoulder and stroked his head as a bonus.
I turned my head slightly.
Five corpses lying on the ground, bleeding, fill the field of vision.
After ordering the Death Knights to clean up, he sat down on the potion box.
It’s still gorgeous even when I look at it again.
Thanks to the large amount of gold, the dark warehouse was almost bathed in gold.
I slowly opened the pouch Thanos had handed me.
Inside are about 3 gold and 21 shillings… …etc.
I roughly threw it into the gold pile and took a deep breath.
What I’m going to do from now on is production.
So-called artifact production.
The name of the artifact is ‘Subspace Pocket’.
What’s funny is that people think subspace pockets are a much more common artifact than you might think.
Honestly, it’s a little funny even when I think about it now.
That’s true to some extent.
There are two types of subspace pockets.
One is to use the artifact as a sort of passage to retrieve an object from a designated space.
To put it simply, if I introduce the first method into this small pouch that I am holding now, I can take out the items that are currently in this basement just by opening this small pouch and putting my hand in, no matter where I am.
To be honest, subspace pockets created this first way are a bit common.
As far as I know, there are over 100.
It’s certainly convenient, but of course it has its drawbacks.
Since designated spaces exist somewhere in this world, there is inevitably a possibility of theft.
The convenience of being able to store things in a secret storage room that only you know about and be able to access them from anywhere by just carrying a pocket, ironically, also serves as its only drawback.
And the second remaining one.
This is the most important thing.

This is a method of using the spirit to create a subspace that is literally empty and then storing items there.
The first method is to raid the ‘warehouse’ set in the subspace pocket, but the second method does not allow interception of items in the middle.
Because this little pocket, a subspace pocket, serves as the only passage and the only storage space.
And the subspace pockets created in this second way can only be created by transcendent beings who can use ‘honki’.
Because subspace isn’t something that can be created simply with mana.
As far as I know, there are about 100 ‘subspace pockets’ created in the first way.
There is only one subspace pocket created in this second way, as far as I know.
Of course, there are going to be two now.
I slowly raised my spirits.
The surrounding air becomes still and silence descends.
Acceleration of thought.
He slowly lifted his right index finger and brought it toward his pocket.
First, carve the teleportation formula, transform it, lightly hit the surrounding branches with mana, inject soul energy, create a dimensional hole in the transformed formula, set the location of the hole… … .
Square- Square-
I kept thinking, and as I thought, I revised the formula.
Circulation, passage, area.
A drop of sweat falls.
No sound was heard.
The end and beginning of the subspace were cycled once more, the entrance was set, the passage was widened, and the size was naturally expanded.
The space was quiet, the dimensional portals were open, and the circulating subspace was in harmony with the soul energy I had created and implanted.
square-
square-
Metaphysical formulas are engraved, created, interlocked, and imprinted on the pocket.
square-
The moment the last formula is engraved.
Toouk-
Only then did I hear the sound of sweat dripping on the floor.
I slowly raised my head.
The bones click together with a crunching sound.
Thanos was staring at me with a blank expression, his mouth wide open like a carp, and the teacher who had been sitting on my shoulder just a moment ago had gotten down from there for some time.
How much time has passed?
“… …Are you okay?”

When I lift my head, it’s soaked with moisture.
I thought it was no joke how wet it was, I guess I was really concentrating.
“How much time has passed?”
Advertisements
“Two hours have passed, my lord.”
“2 hours?”
“yes.”
It took longer than I thought.
I looked at the subspace pouch in my hand, leaving behind the severe headache I had been feeling for a long time and the discomfort I felt all over my body.
A smile naturally forms.
It was a rare artifact that looked like a simple brown leather pouch, but the amount it could hold was nearly ‘unlimited’, and items could be put in and taken out simply by opening and closing it.
An item of which there is only one… no, only two on the continent.
As I was looking through my pockets with pride, my teacher asked me.
[Were you also skilled in production?]
He smiled quietly and sat the teacher back on his shoulders.
I want to say things like, “It’s not like I’m bragging like I usually do, but…” but strangely, I don’t feel like doing that this time.
“I learned it from my teacher in my previous life.”
[……I see.]
The teacher laughs awkwardly, perhaps because memories of his past life that he cannot remember keep popping up.
I would rather not tell the stories of my past life with Master, but I can’t lie to Master.
“And this, compared to the inventory that the Master uses, is very inadequate.”
The teacher chuckled.
Before, the Master tore the air in front of me and pulled out a sword and a mask.
A storage method that is on a different level from the two types of subspace pockets described above.
If the subspace pocket was ‘transferable’, then the magic itself was not transferable.
The magic name is inventory.
I can guarantee that the only people on this continent who can use the inventory right now are the two Lords, me, and the Master.
He climbed down from the box and threw the pouch he was holding to Tolisso.
“I put all the gold in there and upgraded its durability, so you can put more in.”
No, wait a minute.
“Leave about 1 million gold aside, and the potion box… … Ah, this is ambiguous.”
The size of the pocket is not as big as you might think.
It’s about the size of three adult male fists combined.
Even if you spread it out as much as possible, it seems impossible to fit a stack of boxes.
“Pass on the potion for now. Put everything else in except for 1 million gold.”
(insect!)
After giving that order, he left the basement.
When you feel like taking a quick shower and lying down in the shade to rest.
[You look very tired.]
“Do you see it that way?”
He smiled as if it was nothing, but it seems he couldn’t fool his teacher.
[I said there would be a war. And soon.]
The teacher’s voice coming from the side is quite serious.
Advertisements
It’s scary to turn your head.
[… … Don’t overdo it.]
Although the voice was quiet, the sincerity contained within was very clear.
In fact, no matter what, the only person in this world who knows me best is my teacher.
After exchanging a meaningful glance with the teacher for a moment, he snickered.
first.
“Thanos.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Try entering the magic circle.”
“… … Right now?”
I have to take care of my baby.
“You should also experience the difference between the 2nd and 3rd circles. I’ll give you a piece of advice. As soon as you enter, concentrate all your mana on your eyes. It’s okay if your reactions are a beat or two slower. Just do as I say.”
Thanos nodded with a serious expression and slowly entered the illusionary magic circle.
With a sword in hand.
* * *
Thanos, who entered the magic circle, first thought of Jack’s words.
{Concentrate all mana into your eyes.}
As he said, he focused all the mana flowing from the three circles into his eyes.
Thanos watched as the illusion in front of him slowly raised its head, drew its sword, and the sword glowed faintly.
Should I say that the accident has accelerated?
Bam-!
Fantasy takes over.
Thanos thought.
What wasn’t visible before is now visible.
ah.
This is it.
Phew-!
Jack’s sword is swung.
It is not the power that a 1st circle mana user can wield.
That makes sense, because all the mana was transferred to Jack’s arm.
A method of mana management that is not 1 circle but 1 circle.
Thanos, noticing the sword’s trajectory, tilted his head back.
It was close, but I definitely avoided it.
Thanos cheered for a moment.
Finally, I was able to avoid the attack.
Then, the moment you take two or three steps back.
Advertisements
The mana that was gathered in the fantasy arm is transferred to the right foot.
No kidding, it was moved in an instant.
Cheers quickly turned to admiration, then awe.
‘oh my god…….’
Physical mana users usually move their bodies with mana distributed at a certain rate throughout their bodies.
The reason we do it that way is because it is efficient.
Thanos also thought it was efficient and used it that way.
But the illusion before my eyes.
No, ‘Jack’ was different.
When attacking, concentrate all mana into the area where you are attacking, when evading, concentrate all mana into the area where you need to evade, and when you need to close the distance, concentrate all mana into your legs.
Is this possible?
So, you can use mana like this?
The illusion that had come close in an instant swung its sword like before.
At that moment, Thanos was troubled.
Now I can see the sword.
Should we call it the circle’s advantage?
In that moment Thanos realized.
Jack, who is in front of us, is still immature.
Thanos thought.
Should I stop it?
Or should I avoid it?
He shook his head.
I lost enough and died enough.
So this time, let’s attack.
Blocking and attacking and dodging and attacking.
What is faster?
Thanos moved instinctively.
He lowered his head and thrust his sword at the same time.
Phew-!
Crunch-!
Almost simultaneously, a cutting sound is heard.
Thanos could feel it.
That his right ear was cut off.
But what about the sword you’re holding?
It was stuck in Jack’s neck.
Advertisements
The joy of winning was short-lived.
Thanos was confused.
Wait a minute, who did I just attack?
“My Lord… My Lord!”
