Chapter 25

25. Sillim-dong (5)

The lights of the broadcast studio were bright.

Current affairs discussion program.

Subtitles appeared at the bottom of the screen.

[Next presidential candidate Assemblyman Kim Dokhyeon, speaking of future vision!]

Kim Dokhyeon was sitting with a neat smile.

The host soon started.

“Assemblyman, among the businesses you are recently promoting the most attention-receiving is the ‘mana resource’ policy.”

“Yes, that’s right. As you know our country is a country lacking mana resources. Relying on imports for mana stones. There the gap with magic great powers widens.”

The host received seriously.

“Right. The countries currently called magic great powers in Asia are China and Japan. Besides that all are classified as weak countries.”

“That’s right. So what I paid attention to is precisely ‘mana vein’. Mana vein is the source of mana stones. If we find this resource that is asleep somewhere in our land···.”

Strength gradually entered Kim Dokhyeon’s voice.

“We can escape import dependence and become self-reliant! It means our Republic of Korea can also leap to a magic great power!”

Clap clap clap.

The host clapped as if admiring.

“Oh, if Assemblyman Kim Dokhyeon finds the mana vein, it will be a very good thing for our citizens too! But Assemblyman, is that actually possible?”

At those words, Kim Dokhyeon smiled faintly.

“Please believe me. Because I am already investigating promising candidate sites. Soon I will be able to deliver good news.”

Applause burst in the studio.

Kim Dokhyeon made a people-friendly smile.

‘Sillim-dong. Tomorrow it will become a complete mess. If with that excuse I can completely clean up this place finding the mana vein is nothing.’

The plan was almost complete.

After tonight passes, Sillim-dong will transform.

“Now, recording ended! Assemblyman! Really thank you for your hard work!”

“Hahaha, no. You all worked hard.”

Kim Dokhyeon came down from the studio.

Then a secretary hurriedly running.

“Th-that··· Assemblyman. It seems a matter burst in Sillim-dong right now.”

“···Matter?”

“As the barrier planned in advance completely collapsed, gazes are concentrating···.”

“······!”

Kim Dokhyeon’s eyes widened.

* * *

Park Junhyeok squinted one eye.

“You··· seem to be misunderstanding something. Even if those guys came the guys I lead are more.”

Whoosh.

The guy waved his hand.

Then the revived ones around quickly moved.

“Kill! Kill all the bastards here!”

“““Yes!!”””

Not only that.

The hundreds of mercenary mages who were waiting behind also started to move.

“Now, let’s go!”

The mercenary office mages moved.

In an instant the mercenaries transformed into respective forms. Most were beast form appearances. It seems they brought all the transformation types.

‘I know it’s the magic with the most excellent physical ability but··· most were abilities like that.’

Not going to the battlefield for nothing.

Because they have bodies that endure ordinary attacks.

“We also move.”

The company agents also moved.

These people taking out some unfamiliar weapons.

It seemed they were trying to fight with magic weapons.

Besides the request performers Jaewon brought also stepped into action, and the request office owners as well as Sillim-dong uncertified mages also entered the battlefield.

Among them the overwhelming appearance was the ‘Golden Light Priesthood’.

Although not jumping directly into the battlefield, they gathered in one place and recited some spell···.

Swoosh, swoosh. Fwoooosh!

Peculiar white light coming out from them.

When that light covered Sillim-dong, injuries were completely healed.

Even the area was not just area heal.

It was a complete large-scale area heal.

“···You brought only annoying things well, you. Even so.”

Whoosh.

The guy waved his hand again.

The revived ones who were around charged.

Fwoosh. Shaaaaaaaak! Shaaaaaaaak! Shaaaaaaaak!

He can’t just get done in.

Continuously casting [Flame Spear] and firing.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!

Explosion baptism continued around.

But the guy was calm.

Just waving his hand again.

Whoosh—.

At the guy’s command, a group of revived ones simultaneously cast. About thirty. The guys shot magic at him all at once.

Crackle. Spot!

Immediately [Teleport].

He left the original position.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!

‘···If a little late it would have been dangerous.’

But those guys, somehow after reviving the level also seems to have gone up.

Casting speed, power, accuracy.

Not the level of the small fry he faced until now.

“What on earth is this bastard’s identity? Using [Teleport]?”

The guy was flustered at the appearance of quickly avoiding.

But that is not the end.

Swoosh.

“Wh-what. Where are you! Where, this bastard!”

Continuing he used [Stealth] and hid his appearance.

And quietly widened the distance.

Crrrack! Crrrack!

Casting [Cooling] and binding the guys’ ankles.

And continuously [Lightning Strike] continuously, continuously casting.

Kugugung—.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As is lightning stems poured insanely on the group that aimed at him.

Hitting very refreshingly.

‘But those guys are useless. I have to process that guy.’

Crackle, crackle!

Immediately casting [Lightning Orb] toward the guy.

Three [Lightning Orbs] divided into three branches squeezed the guy.

“···Damn.”

But the guy also doesn’t seem to just get done in.

Suddenly the revived guys around charged insanely in front of the guy.

Then overlapping [corpse wall].

Completely blocked in front of the guy.

Crackle crackle crackle crackle!! Crackle crackle crackle crackle!! Crackle crackle crackle crackle!!

Lightning seared such [corpse wall] without rest.

The smell of burning vibrated around, and the revived guys also burned pitch black.

Crash crash.

Then the collapsing [corpse wall].

“······.”

The guy silently glared at him in a very fine appearance.

Then lightly flicked his finger.

Tak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!

“Ha.”

Lost words to say.

Just processed but.

If burned as burned, if broken as broken.

The guys he knocked down stood up again as is.

“I can fight with you forever. Shall we see whether your mana bottoms out first, or I get tired?”

Crazy bastard.

Really a guy who can do that sufficiently.

This bastard really seems like a first act final boss.

‘Clearly [Flame Spear] or [Lightning Strike] was sufficient to burn those corpses···.’

He chewed the guy’s provocation and turned his head.

Normally if burning things like that it’s fine.

So he deliberately used things worth burning···.

‘Is fire resistance high?’

Hmm, it seems like that.

It doesn’t seem simply reviving.

Movement speed, magic power, casting speed. Even resistance. Those guys are guys several times stronger than before.

‘···Revived all such guys.’

As expected not a guy to see easily.

Swoosh.

He held the ‘relic orb’ put in his pocket.

And inhaled the loss mana gathered in the meantime.

Wooooong—!!

Additionally mana increased.

And not ordinary mana.

Because if making magic with this the power is stronger.

‘First let’s clean up around here.’

If suppressing that guy the remaining revived guys will be no problem.

He immediately called the hyena.

“Come out.”

Fwoosh.

First the most needed ‘Ash’.

“You come out too.”

Next ‘Thunder’.

Because these guys are very good at burning.

Whooong. Whooong.

Mana draining whoosh whoosh as soon as calling [Elemental Hyena]. At least because mana is so much right now it was endurable. Of course, it looked hard to endure long but···.

“Y-you··· really wh-what kind of bastard are you···.”

The guy who saw [Elemental Hyena] trembled and backed away.

I’ll show what kind of guy.

“Bite.”

The guy’s two eyes widened and he waved both hands wildly.

“Q-quickly come! Quickly come, f-fuck!”

Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud!

Then revived ones charging from all directions.

A giant [corpse wall] several times larger and thicker than the existing [corpse wall] was erected.

Almost like a dam wall blocking water very thickly.

Fwoooosh!

In the meantime, ‘Ash’s flames covered the wall.

The wall melting down in an instant.

‘Thunder’ quickly stirred such a wall.

Spot, spot, spot, spot, spot, spot!

Spot, spot, spot, spot, spot, spot! Crash crash!!

Such a wall melted down in an instant.

But with this attack his mana also lost.

It became hard to maintain anymore.

“Ha, huff··· huff······.”

The guy full of fear was sitting on his butt.

···This bastard endured with [corpse wall]?

“······.”

This kind of enemy is the first.

Although there is a disadvantage of not being able to maintain [Elemental Hyena] long due to mana problem, until now it was almost one shot one kill.

‘If defense power of that level even my ordinary magic couldn’t pierce?’

···This bastard is no joke.

Not appearing at this time for nothing.

“F-fuck··· y-you on earth···.”

But it seems he received quite a shock.

The guy spat curses in a trembling voice.

“Y-you··· c-can’t use m-magic···.”

Swoosh.

The guy aimed his hand at him.

Then.

Whiiiiiiik.

“······!?”

Black light that appeared in the guy’s hand wrapped the body.

Then mana draining steadily.

The mana that had drained close to the bottom continuously scrapes the bottom.

To the point there is no mana that was filling even a little.

‘···What is this this bastard?’

Even if moving to pull out the body, the black light wrapping the body didn’t shake off. Continuously gnawed mana.

“I’ll suck all your mana···.”

Whiiiiiiik.

‘···Sucking mana?’

There is magic like this?

He has to finish by using magic, but he can’t.

But.

He spun his finger round.

Whiiiiiiik.

[Floating Dagger] spun round around him.

“······!?”

One eye of the guy who saw that appearance twitched.

He would wonder what this is.

“Th-that kind of dagger··· is useless.”

The guy moved the opposite hand.

Soon other revived ones gathered from here and there again.

“···You can’t use magic anymore because you have no mana, but I am not. I’ll kill you with your mana.”

This bastard is saying unlucky words.

Whoosh.

He moved his finger.

Six daggers headed to one place drawing a parabola.

To that bastard.

“Wh-what!”

Shaaaaaaaak. Thud thud thud thud thud thud! Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!

Six daggers stuck into the guy.

Numerous lightning stems stored in the daggers accurately stuck into the guy’s body.

“Guh, guk···.”

Thud—. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

The guy who burned pitch black like the clothes he was wearing.

When the guy collapsed, the revived ones who were charging insanely became ash and scattered.

That ash fluttered here and there in Sillim-dong.

“Hoo.”

Even the crazy bastard who was enduring [Elemental Hyena] died.

This was exactly first act final boss level.

Look, I said I would make you pay the price.

···he didn’t utter the words.

“Did that guy die?”

“This damn bastard!”

Soon the request office owner uncles covered in blood ran.

He could know how fiercely they fought.

‘Around this time the police should come late but they’re not coming.’

It seems different from movies.

Coming later.

He quietly looked around Sillim-dong.

Sillim-dong destroyed here and there, and burning.

The previous appearance could no longer be found.

Why on earth, made here to this state.

Because of what···.

Kugugugu—.

At that time.

The ground under his feet rang severely.

Something was coming up from under the floor.

···What is it?

Crrrack. Crrrack.

The ground cracking in all directions like a spider web.

Kwaaaaang—.

A giant pure blue light pillar soared and the floor burst.

Bang, Kwaaang—.

As if lava erupting the pillars soared here and there.

At the same time···.

“What is it! Why is mana suddenly filling wildly!”

“Uh, uh! What is this?”

“What? My mana is also filling?”

Swoosh.

At that time Hyeonmin pushed up his glasses and quietly approached.

“This is like a torrent of mana.”

“Torrent of mana?”

“Yes, this is a phenomenon that comes out when a mana vein activates and bursts, but I don’t know why this is coming out here.”

He said something smart.

By the way this is a phenomenon that comes out when a mana vein bursts?

‘···Here is Sillim-dong?’

The place with the lowest mana density around.

A place that received a curse that is not a curse.

But a mana vein bursting here?

Wooong—.

But it seems true.

Mana permeated from the soaring blue light pillar.

His insufficient mana also started to gradually fill.

Wooooong—. Wooooong—. Wooooong—.

Mana continuously filled.

[Leveled up.]

Wooooong—. Wooooong—. Wooooong—.

[Leveled up.]

Wooooong—. Wooooong—. Wooooong—.

[Leveled up.

Wooooong—.

Wooooong—. Wooooong—.

But the strange thing.

Continuously filling without stopping.

If leveling up fills again, if leveling up fills again.

“···But this is strange. Right now this phenomenon is almost certain that a mana vein burst, then like me or other people if mana fills once temporarily mana should no longer permeate, why··· is it continuously permeating to Mr. Dojin?”

Hyeonmin also seems strange.

Originally if full once it stops?

He thought for a moment.

Why he is like this.

The answer was very simple.

[Leveled up.]

Level up.

Then his mana container naturally increasing.

Since increased he has to fill full again.

[Leveled up.]

Level up again.

Since the mana container increased he has to fill.

Is it this principle?

“······.”

Insane.

Continuously leveling up?

Until when in total?

[Leveled up.] [Leveled up.] [Leveled up.] [Leveled up.] ············ ············ [Leveled up.] [Leveled up.]

Level up doesn’t stop.
