Chapter 43

43. New Mana Stone (1)

Step, step.

The outskirts beyond the wall.

A man wearing a black turban quietly moved.

‘Damn. Still only protecting.’

Shadow affiliation, Jamal just became thirty.

But what is the work he has done until now?

‘None, none!’

None.

Born also wall space, grown also wall space.

The work done while living a lifetime is two.

Learning [Mana Anchoring Technique] one of the clan’s secret techniques that only a few outstanding can learn. And dirty protecting the sacred tomb.

‘···Even being born here is unfair. From now on also only protect the tomb?’

This boring life for a lifetime?

Absolutely can’t do that.

Even so it wasn’t doing this without any plan.

Someday while fighting the US forces, he obtained information that they found the ‘Dawn Stone’.

The elders went wild at that fact.

Jamal’s thought was different.

‘If me it is possible.’

‘Dawn Stone’ of a different type from existing mana stones.

A rock lump with effects also different from ordinary mana stones.

However, really now it is a rock lump.

A rock lump with no meaning.

But if there is his [Mana Anchoring Technique] the story is different.

Accordingly he lightly contacted the US forces commander.

[If me I can make the Dawn Stone into a vein. However, there is a condition. Completely pull me out from the Shadows and make it so I can move to the place you live.]

The condition was one.

Fuck ‘pull me out’ from here.

After that, he occasionally contacted the commander.

But they had many doubts.

Perhaps they also seemed to be researching about the ‘Dawn Stone’.

In the middle of that suddenly a contact came.

Saying let’s proceed the matter immediately.

Swoosh—.

Such Jamal came out of the wall and waited for someone.

‘Just in time coming there.’

Step, step, step.

White robe emitting in each color.

The three mages of the US forces magic unit arrived.

“Is it fine if going with you?”

Nod.

The red emission mage nodded his head.

“Now, then immediately go······.”

“However. There is one more thing to do.”

“What? There is more work? Besides taking me what else is there?”

“Two people who recently escaped the US forces came this way. Chasing the traces it completely cut near this side. In guess it seems they went beyond the wall. Can you let us in? You guys seem like you can do something like that.”

“Th-this··· then now telling me to enter there again! I came after preparing to completely leave now!”

“······.”

Jamal shouted loudly.

Even now if knowing I disappeared they will make a fuss, enter again? Even if dying he can’t enter.

However···.

“Smile, smile··· okay. Good! I’ll let you guys in. But I have no thoughts of entering at all! I’ll go to the US forces unit on my own, you also do the work you do on your own!”

“Hmm, good.”

Agreement complete.

Jamal let them in beyond the wall.

* * *

“···Did it work?”

The smoke that was sucked in insanely extinguished.

No more energy to stuff in.

He quietly waited for the torso’s reaction.

Shake shake shake!

The torso shaking severely.

Soon some change arose.

Wooong.

White light leaking from the gap of the split chest.

Besides that white light started to faintly leak from gaps here and there on the body.

Creak, creak.

After that, the guy moving along with a bizarre sound.

But somehow the movement creaks a bit.

‘Although it was written that he has to adapt to the new body but···.’

Is it because of that by any chance?

Or the imbalance of the torso and grudge?

“······.”

He quietly watched the guy.

Creak, creak.

Such a guy gradually stood in front of him.

And the head that deeply bowed then raised.

After that it was immovable.

‘Waiting for an order?’

It was written in the book.

Moves only by the order of the one who blew in the soul.

Good, then···.

“Lie down.”

Whiiiik. Kwaaaaaaang!!

World.

Just in case he gave an impossible order.

As soon as such his order ended the guy lying on the ground as if the head would break.

Really if told to die the momentum to die.

‘Really listens well··· sorry. By the way no weapon is a bit ambiguous.’

He examined the guy.

A torso of small and frail height.

However, Baekgwi was a master of ‘twin sword’ magic.

So the existing body also had swords attached instead of arms.

But now there is no usable sword somehow.

‘Later he will also have to find a usable weapon.’

Now, then the next stage.

Although creaking he confirmed moving, and also confirmed obeying his orders. Then shall he try the real work to do?

“Show a few magics that suit you well, that you can do immediately.”

Creak, creak.

The guy moving at the order.

The guy stretched both hands long to both sides.

Then.

Clatter! Clatter!

“Huh?”

Some bone was generated on the stretched hands.

This would be the bone magic Haidar used.

But the form of that bone as if···.

‘Like a sword?’

Exactly the form of a sword.

How crazy about swords is this bastard in total?

Told to try the magic he can do and making a sword with bone first.

‘Yeah, better than bare hands. A swordsman needs a sword to be proper. Urgent so it is fine to use.’

After that the guy showed a few magics.

Of course the swordsmanship magic he used, and gifted various forms of bone magics.

What to say.

Although it seems a bit lacking in impact compared to the previous Baekgwi because it is still an adaptation period, somehow it felt like the power gradually rises the more he uses magic.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaang!!

“Huh?”

At that time.

An explosion sound heard out of nowhere.

-Grak! Graaak! Graaak!

Outside Teri also continuously shouted.

Accordingly immediately going up and looking.

‘That position seems the place where the cave is.’

Something continuously exploded from the cave direction.

Was the reason Black Arm went because of that?

The problem···.

‘Hyung Cheolmin is also there?’

The left Cheolmin came to mind.

Then he has to go quickly but···.

The distance is quite.

Fortunately if.

Swoosh.

He swept his hand in the air.

Then the gate opened.

Because he also left a door open near the cave.

“Let’s go.” -Grung, grrung!

Creak!

* * *

-Kuuuh!

Cheolmin who transformed into a rhinoceros covered his face and stepped back at the explosion that covered the cave.

‘Why are those guys attacking me!’

Out of nowhere some guys appeared.

Fortunately the guys he knows what kind.

Precisely the mages of the US forces magic unit.

Because he can know just looking at the clothes they are wearing.

The problem was when facing the guys.

For no reason he waved his hand happily, and these bastards immediately fired magic?

Because he immediately transformed he avoided receiving large damage but···.

“Kyaaaak!”

“Kueek!”

“Kyaaaaaa!”

That those bastards are the momentum to kill not only himself, but all the Shadows too.

The three guys poured all kinds of magic on the cave.

“Warriors quickly suppress the guys!”

“I-impossible! Besides the guys pouring magic so we can’t go out of the cave, the power is also not easy! Different from the US forces we faced until now!”

“Kuuuh···.”

The chief ground his teeth.

Due to the sudden raid the position became bad.

He has to go out of the cave to do something, but those guys blocked such an entrance.

‘Moreover American mage bastards!’

The current strongest magic great power, the US.

Even if the same rank American origin mages the level itself is different.

How much that basically American mages’ ranks are evaluated two or three stages higher than the same grade.

Such guys currently blocked the entrance.

-···First I’ll somehow break through and go out, attack the gap that arises in the meantime.

“Will you alone be possible?”

-Don’t you know even looking at this body! Originally a guy who does this role!

Kung, kung.

Cheolmin tapped his chest and showed confidence.

“Understood. If a gap arises I’ll immediately support.”

-Yeah! Can’t leave the kids to die.

Kung kung kung kung!

Immediately Cheolmin charged at the entrance.

The floor was laid with cold air, and from an unknown position red light was shot wildly like a laser. Even the guys boasted a high accuracy rate as if looking clearly from an invisible place.

Shaaak! Shaaaak! Shaaaaaak! Kwajik, kwajik, kwajik!

“Guk!”

That was the same for Cheolmin.

When approaching near the entrance several red lights pierced his body.

‘Damn. The body will hurt a bit!’

But he didn’t stop.

The cold air also rose wildly as if swallowing the legs, but he continuously raised the body’s resistance and ran.

“Immediately come out!”

Thanks to that a gap arose.

Because the guys’ magic headed toward himself.

Naturally the attack on the cave entrance stopped.

“Immediately kill the outsiders!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—.

The Shadows that popped out aimed at the mages.

However, the problem was that the guys acted as if waiting for this.

Crrrack─────────!!

In an instant cold air spreading wide on the floor.

The cold air caught all the Shadows’ ankles as if opening its maw.

“Th-this what!”

“Damn!”

But this was just the start.

In an instant red light unfolded in the air like an umbrella.

And red light scattering into dozens, hundreds of branches.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

“Guk!”

“Kuek!”

“Kyaak!”

The Shadows that were coming out without hesitation were pierced by the red light like beasts caught in a trap.

Of course that was the same for Cheolmin.

-Kueeeeek!

Several red lights pierced, and pierced again.

“These bastards!”

Dadadadadada!

At that time.

Black Arm with sharp eyes charged without hesitation.

Crrrrrack!!

Sharp ice fangs rushing at such Black Arm.

Black Arm faced the front while leading with his arm.

Kwajik, kwajik, kwajik.

“···Hmm? Strange. My magic breaking at just such a thing?”

The blue emission mage was slightly flustered.

A guy that seems nothing particular.

Whoosh. Kwaaaaaaang!!

In an instant Black Arm jumped between the guys.

And strongly thrusting the black arm.

Black energy spread in a circle around and covered the guys.

Crrrack!

However, unfortunately it didn’t touch the guys.

Because a cold ice wall that soared in an instant blocked.

“Something like this···!”

Vooooong—. Kwaaaaaaang!

Black Arm who lightly broke by strongly swinging the black arm.

However, what greeted Black Arm as the ice wall broke was the red emission mage’s giant and red several orbs.

Whoooong!

“Guk!”

He instinctively raised the black arm and blocked.

Fortunately that part was perfectly blocked, but other parts pierced as is.

Black Arm powerlessly slammed on the floor.

The red mage ignored Black Arm and asked Cheolmin.

“One guy is not visible.”

-Ha, one guuuy···?

With this it became clear.

Those guys affiliated with the US forces came to catch himself and Dojin.

‘Why on earth?’

He couldn’t understand at all.

Why war mercenaries themselves?

Because they are together with the Shadows?

No, guys who attacked before even confirming that. He was certain it was not that reason.

-Damn··· big nose bastards···.

“······.”

The red emission mage whose nose particularly looks large twitched one eye.

“First from you.”

Swoosh.

The mage raising his hand toward the lying Cheolmin.

Soon several circular red orbs were generated in front of the palm.

Slurr—.

“Hmm?”

At that time.

Suddenly something generated in the air.

A long form portal was generated.

“?” “??” “???”

The three mages simultaneously tilted their heads.

What on earth is this?

Clearly it seems magic, but very unfamiliar.

···Was there magic like this too?

Swoosh. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Something popped out from inside that.

A man wearing a black robe, one beast far larger than a dire wolf, and···.

‘Iron lump?’

Some red scrap metal.

They came out of the portal and glared at themselves.

“US forces?”

He said in Korean.

Although it was naturally translated by translation magic.

With this it became certain.

The red mage aimed at the man with the opposite hand.

“Reported missions always have to be completed.”

“What?”

“Because I reported that you guys also died, I have to do so.”

“What is this bastard saying? Aren’t you US forces?”

The guy shouted as if flustered.

Is that the last will? Pitiful.

“Don’t resent us.”

“Hey, kill that bastard.”

Creak! Whoosh─────────. Slash.

“······!?”

In an instant something whoosh! passed.

Too fast he doesn’t even know what passed.

But···.

Chaaaaaaa!

Some blood water soared in front of the eyes.

Somehow the head also seems to tilt······.

Slash! Slash!

Soon the vision flipped.

In such vision the colleague’s neck falling was visible.

On the colleague’s body some thorn-like bones wildly soared.

‘Wh-why on my body also······.’

Thud.

* * *

Somewhere near the US forces unit.

“Heek, heek···.”

Jamal ran while panting.

Such Jamal was welcomed by the US forces group.

“You worked hard.”

A familiar person spoke.

White-haired old general, Hayden.

The commander he was colluding with.

“Th-this how did it happen? Why did the mages go beyond the wall?”

“They went beyond the wall?”

“Yeah! They went saying there is work to do!”

“Ah, ah··· in the middle of performing a mission.”

Hayden understood the mages’ situation.

Did the Korean mercenaries flee there?

Well, since they chased it doesn’t matter.

“That aside. Can you do the work on this right away?”

Hayden handed one rock lump.

Precisely the ‘Dawn Stone’.

Although now it is nothing but a rock lump with not one bit of light permeating, if becoming a vein the story is different.

“Before that the condition I presented?”

“Ah ah, this?”

Swoosh.

Hayden showed one document.

Immigration application. And his name written there.

Jamal smiled broadly.

“Certain. Let’s go right away. If my magic the Dawn Stone will fill with vein in one go.”

“Excellent.”

Hayden also smiled broadly.

If this···.

‘He might rise even higher than the place he longed for.’

The first discovered in the world.

No···, because it will become the Dawn Stone vein he created.
