Episode 182
System alarm.
There were so many alarms piling up that it was difficult to see them all.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at them one by one in order.
[Congratulations! You have successfully settled your mana!]
[Great achievement!]
[You will receive a large amount of experience points as a reward!]
[Get a large amount of warrior points as a reward!]
‘Mana… is that what you call mana?’
The power that has been called purple energy, original power, etc.
It had a name called Mana.
Choi Hyun-seok continued reading the alarm.
[Magic and magic combine into mana]
[The abilities Magic Power Utilization (S) and Magic Power Utilization (A) are combined into Mana Power Utilization (S)]
[Body balance is adjusted]
[Improves body stability]
So far so good.
Now that the new power of Mana had been established, it was natural for the existing ones to come together as one.
In the process, it seemed that even the chronic problem of physical instability had been resolved.
The problem is this:
[Ability Magic Attack (E) is temporarily sealed]
[The skill Raidrun-style martial arts transformation is temporarily sealed]
‘This is a little painful…’
One by one, my abilities and skills flew away.
Magokushiki is a technique that uses the different properties of magic and magical energy to produce explosive power.
The Raidrun-style fighting technique is a martial art based on the magic bomb style.
‘It’s only natural that it can’t be used since the magic and magical energy have disappeared.’
Since the two powers are bound by mana, it makes sense that he can’t use the magic attack.
However, there is a condition attached to this called a ‘temporary seal’.
Choi Hyun-seok paid attention to this part.
‘It’s a temporary seal, so I might be able to use it again.’
The powers derived from mana are magic and magici.
Right now, only mana remains, but if you want, wouldn’t you be able to recreate magic and magic energy?
That’s what I thought.
Choi Hyun-seok continued reading the alarm while organizing his thoughts.
[Caution! Mana is overwhelmingly higher than other abilities]
[For user stability, some abilities will be redistributed as part of the achievement rewards]
This was welcome news.
This means that the system has been tuned to handle the increased power that comes with gaining mana.
In addition to this, there were some minor issues, such as not being able to use skills like ‘Pulminium Mode’ and ‘Crepitus Mode’ due to the inability to transform the body, but all of these were adjusted to provide rewards in the form of experience points or warrior points.
As a result, the final status window of Choi Hyun-seok was as follows.
▫Name: Choi Hyun-seok
▫Title: Regular Warrior
▫Level: 1096
·Strength: 350
· Agility: 350
· Stamina: 350
·Mana: 500
·Charisma: 113
·Fighting spirit: 102
·Bonus points: 36
▫Warrior Points: 10,500
▫Abilities: Pickaxe (C), Leadership (C), Cooking (D), Mana Management (S)▫Skills: Raidrun-style fighting, Nobilis
Overall, greatly increased abilities.
I leveled up a lot with various rewards and now have 36 bonus points.
It was also noteworthy that the warrior points exceeded ten thousand.
The sealed abilities or skills were not visible, but I was able to check them separately by touching the settings.
‘Aldan will have to use up all the bonus points.’
It was when Choi Hyun-seok was about to distribute bonus points 36 first.
“Hey. When will it end?”
Park Hyun-ah, who had been watching from the side, couldn’t hold it in any longer and spoke up.
“It’s almost over now.”
Choi Hyun-seok let out a sigh after completely organizing the ability distribution.
“A lot has happened in the blink of an eye, so I’m out of my mind.” “There’s no need to talk right now, just rest for a bit. We can talk later when you come to your senses.”
“yes.”
“It looks like it was a success, huh?”
Park Hyun-ah said, raising the corners of her lips.
This is because the energy felt from Choi Hyun-seok was completely different.

Even without using a separate combat power meter, I could feel that he had become much stronger than before.
“It happened somehow.”
Choi Hyun-seok also smiled and nodded.
Then Rachel, who had been watching, intervened.
“Hero! Let’s measure your fighting power as a souvenir!”
“Okay.”
“Just wait. I’ll take a look.
Park Hyun-ah took out the combat power meter from her bosom and put it on.
[ Combat Power: 325,932 ]
Park Hyun-ah, who confirmed her fighting power, opened her mouth wide.
“Whoa, shit. This is crazy.” “How much did you get?”
“About 320,000.”
“yes…?”
Choi Hyun-seok blinked at the mention of 320,000 combat power.
It can’t be helped, because when you wake up, your combat power suddenly increases by nearly 100,000.
If you weren’t surprised, that would be even stranger.
“At this level, it should be enough to reach the threshold of legend.” “Is 320,000 just the threshold? Last time, I thought you said that legend had a combat power of 300,000.”
This is a situation where the legendary fighting power that Park Hyun-ah spoke of has been surpassed.
But I was skeptical that he was just stepping on the threshold of legend.
“Legendary combat power usually starts at 300,000. Most are in the mid to late 300,000 range.”
“ah.”
“What’s more important is that those who go around with the title of legend are basically two or three hundred years old.” “Two or three hundred? Are you talking about two or three hundred years old?”
“okay.”
“Can humans live that long…?” “Is it possible for humans to use magic?”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded as if he understood.
In a world where people could fly and teleport using magic, it seemed like living to be two or three hundred years old was a big deal.
“Anyway, legends are just as clever as old people. You won’t know until you experience it.”
The reason why legends are scary is not simply because of their high combat power.
Their accumulated combat experience and peak skills over hundreds of years are the foundation of what makes them legends.
“If you want to join the fight, you’ll need your own weapon.”
“My own weapon…”
“The opponent is not easy to deal with, relying only on fighting sense and talent like before. In the first place, if you want to become a legend, you have to be the best among the best.”
If you were to become a legend, your talent and skills were practically guaranteed.
This means that it is difficult to suppress an opponent with just fighting skills like before.
“Well, even so, I don’t think you’d be the only one who came all the way here in less than a year and a half…” “Huh? What did you say?” “No, it’s nothing.”
Park Hyun-ah shook her head and continued speaking.
“Anyway, from now on, we need to work even harder on developing speculative skills. If we quickly create a good speculative skill and raise its proficiency, we’ll be able to compete with the legends.”
Choi Hyun-seok clapped his hands at the word speculation.
“Oh, by the way, I have something to say about speculation.”
“What is it?”
“Speculative development. I think we’ll have to start over from scratch.”
“huh…?”

“Wow~ This is truly a rare sight.”
Sarah Dunphy circled around Choi Hyun-seok and observed him.
It’s already been 30 minutes.
Choi Hyun-seok just sat on the rock and smiled awkwardly.
“Did you say that the name of this purple aura is Mana?”
“yes.”
“Hoo… The fact that it has an official name means that someone knew about the existence of this power.”
Sarah Dunphy continued to mutter something while touching various parts of Choi Hyun-seok’s body.
“Is the secret to being able to contain mana in the body? But this can’t be called a human body. How is this possible…”
While Sarah Dunphy continued to observe Choi Hyun-seok.
Park Hyun-ah was continuously swearing on one side.
“f*ck… what did I do to have to start all over again…”
Park Hyun-ah spent almost two months perfecting Choi Hyun-seok’s speculation.
Choi Hyun-seok creates the basic form, and Park Hyun-ah is in charge of adjusting the detailed magic power to match it.
But everything went wrong when Choi Hyun-seok started handling mana instead of magic or magical energy.
“f*ck! I have to start from scratch. Studying again at this age!?” “Be quiet. Aren’t you interfering with my studies?”
Sarah Dunphy frowned and scolded.
Then Park Hyun-ah opens her eyes wide and shouts.
“shut up!”
“Tsk tsk. What a hothead.”
Sarah Dunphy clicked her tongue and turned her gaze back to Choi Hyun-seok.
Her face instantly filled with curiosity.
“Wow, the more I look at it, the more amazing it is. Even though the physical form is fixed, the magic conductivity itself hasn’t dropped that much. No, should I say mana conductivity? Anyway, it’s truly mysterious, mysterious.”
Sarah Dunphy muttered, stroking her chin.
“f*ck… That kid’s body is already shitty so it’s hard to make a route, but because of that damn mana or something, the difficulty has increased several times. Isn’t it supposed to take years to complete? Should I just say I can’t do it and run?”
Park Hyun-ah clutches her head and shouts.
“But if I leave it like that, it’ll only end up half-baked… What should I do? Oh, my head’s going to burst! Seriously.”
Choi Hyun-seok sighed as he watched the two women lost in their own worlds, leaving him behind.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’
I was still in a daze as I had only just woken up.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was sitting on the rock, slowly lay down.
‘I’m sure you’ll figure it out…’
A cool breeze blew from the forest, and I felt extremely good after eating a full meal for the first time in a long time.
I couldn’t close my eyes because I was starting to feel an unbearable urge to come.
***
Holy Empire Gatren.
A huge crowd gathered in the central square of the capital city of Gratia.
“It has been 500 years since the Demon Tribe first appeared.”
Pope Orban IV’s voice echoes throughout the square.
The Pope climbed the spire of the Temple of Deusis, the headquarters of the Deusis cult, and shouted with his arms outstretched.
“It’s been 500 years! We’ve been threatened by the demons for centuries, and we’ve had to endure hellish wars!”
Someone prayed with both hands clasped together.
Someone clenched his fist in anger.
But no one made a sound.
Even though tens of thousands of people had gathered, the square was filled with the sound of quiet breathing.
The Pope continued.
“We lost our families and friends in the war. Right now, at this very moment, someone is shedding blood on the edge of the devil to protect humanity!”
The Pope’s voice becomes increasingly agitated as he speaks.
“These threats are growing bigger by the day! The unscrupulous demons raise the undead with their necromancy and humiliate the dead! They make the living shed tears of blood!”
Fear appeared on the faces of those who heard the word undead.
Currently, the undead are the continent’s biggest topic and headache.
When evolution was possible, a new undead army arose.
Even as time passes, it grows bigger and stronger.
Some weak countries were on the verge of destruction.
“Fortunately, the evil of necromancy has not reached Gatren, which is blessed by the gods… but it is only a matter of time. One day, the undead will invade this place as well.”
Suddenly the Pope’s voice became heavy.
“So we have decided. We will no longer tolerate these atrocities.”
He looked down at the crowd with his fist clenched.
After a brief silence.
The Pope speaks again.
“It is a temple.”
With those words, Gratia Square was filled with cheers.
Waaaaaaaah-!
A temple that has been around for over 100 years.
This is not Gatren’s war.
It was a war in which the Deusis Church, the largest religious group on the continent, poured all its efforts into it.
“Our target is Demon King Tegrad. We will bring down the hammer of God on him, the leader of the Demon Tribe!”
With the Pope’s words, the soldiers began to march out from the main temple.
The citizens welcomed the imperial soldiers with cheers.
Waaaaaaaah-!
At the forefront is Saint Morial of the Deusis Church.
Two men and a woman follow behind.
The citizens who saw them began to gossip.
“Couldn’t they be Sir Geling and Sir Asmund?” “Next to him is Sir Kinley! He looks exactly like the one in the texts!” “If he’s Sir Kinley, isn’t he from two hundred years ago!?” “How could the forgotten legends…”
The legends of Gatren, who disappeared for so long that it was thought they had returned to the embrace of the gods.
They have resurfaced.
“The Ten Stars of the Empire!”
After that, the ten heroes who are said to protect the Holy Empire, the Ten Stars.
“The Knights of the Grace of God!” “God bless them…”
Behind the ten stars, a thousand knights follow.
It was the most powerful military group in the Holy Empire, made up entirely of high-ranking paladins.
In addition, countless elites of Gatren appeared.
“It’s a temple!”
“Defeat the demons!”
“For Deusis! For Gatren!”
This did not only happen in the capital city of Gratia.
Such large-scale marching ceremonies were taking place throughout the vast territory of the Holy Empire of Gatren.
The Pope smiled as he watched all of this.
‘The time has finally come to put an end to this long war.’
Now the old era will end and a new era will begin.
The era of Gatren.
“Huh~”
And somewhere, someone is watching this scene.
“Is this situation getting more and more interesting?”
A woman with captivating red lips grinned.
