Chapter 283 What Did You Make?
An aggregate of pure energy and a powerful resource boasting tremendous efficiency.
mana.
This energy, which is essential for manifesting the supernatural ability of magic, existed in a very unstable, variable and free state.
[Mana, which is a state of free and disorderly entropy itself, can limit and restrain its direction only in very limited and confined circumstances. First of all, the heart, which is the core of all living things and the source and center of life force. Only the heart can bind such mana and function as a magical power engine that can control and express it at will.] The
heart is said to be the source of life force.
Kervenian’s book, which states that mana can only be collected and controlled through the heart, was described in great detail in the danger of mana runaway.
[A runaway of mana occurs as a counter-resilience when trying to control mana to an uncontrollable level above the limit. In the case of dragons, such a case is not found, but it is a phenomenon that often occurs in inferior and uncivilized lower creatures. In most cases, their hearts are destroyed and they die immediately, or even if they survive, most of them lose all functions as a magic engine organ
. worst case scenario. Therefore, the development of the science of magic was not proportional to time and had no choice but to stagnate.
[A magic experiment? Developing new magic? Yeki! this guy! Is there anything that could cause a violent death at a flowery age?]
[Isn’t it because we don’t know what will happen if a mana runaway happens? Didn’t you hear the story of the 6th-circle archmage who died unluckily due to mana overflow while trying to improve the 1st-circle magic?]
[Magic improvement is something even legendary genius wizards couldn’t touch. Don’t do anything dangerous, just safely study the magic of the sages of the ancestors!]
As long as mana is used in any experiment, magic research carries the risk of causing an unpredictable runaway of mana. Therefore, unconventional challenges and adventures could not exist unless safety was clearly guaranteed, and even if they did, they were often treated as foolish and shallow challenges rather than leaps and bounds and innovative discoveries, and they were often treated as screaming deaths. it was full
[The behavior of humans who have been given magic hundreds of thousands of years ago by our great clan and still have not progressed and regressed is pitiful. It is impossible to expect innovation from those who invent and improve new magic, but restrict the sharing of knowledge in a closed way just because they are secret relatives. I am sure that in the future, it will degenerate and be eliminated even more than now.]
Kervenian then listed various measures to prevent personal mana runaway. Through this book, Kerbenian would have hoped that these savage human wizards would develop magic through a little more radical and challenging adventure, but seeing this, Haimer had a completely different idea.
“All sorts of methods have been described in this book to prevent and prevent the mana runaway, but I thought the opposite. What would happen if that dangerous and destructive mana runaway was intentionally caused? I do.”
Haimer smiled proudly, tapped the book, and spoke in a voice trembling with excitement. He shouted, his eyes almost glowing with madness.
“And I found a way. Magical self-sacrifice now completely banned. I found the answer here.”
Sacrifice.
Upon hearing that, Tan’s ears began to perk up.
“Ha… You found a way out of that wicked magic?”
A tan that clearly reveals the displeasure of whether there is a bad memory for the magic. Jaeyoung asked with a curious look at his reaction.
“what is that?”
“It is a magic that transforms all mana into a state of powerful and pure energy at once. To put it simply, it means sacrificing your life and wiping out everything in the area with mana that has tremendous destructive power.”
El’s supplementary explanation is that it is a terrifying magic that turns ordinary humans into bombs. And along with it came Tan’s annoyed grumbling.
“Do you know how much trouble we suffered because of that magic? Even at the time of the Great War, if you thought you would be successful in sales, those wizards all self-destructed, so how much blood did even our little kids see… Even thinking about it now, it’s real…
” . At his reaction, L glared at Tan with a cold gaze, and then continued the story.
“It is now completely forbidden magic among humans. The destructive power of magic itself is incomparably stronger than any other magic, but once the magic is activated, the person who uses the magic will die unconditionally and the area will be destroyed, so I know that it was completely sealed.”
Now, even the traces and records of that magic cannot be found.
However, through the magic books and various records that remained intact in Kervenian’s treasury, Haimer completely improved the magic.
“Now I realize how stupid and pathetic the idea of extracting mana from a mana stone and shooting it out is! Just blow the mana stone itself!”
A realization obtained from the cotton goblin given by the golden goblin.
Through that, he realized a very simple and obvious reason.
“So… just throw away the entire bowl containing the water instead of taking the water out of the bowl and spraying it… Is this it?”
“yes! Then, the energy loss required to maintain the magic bullet can be drastically reduced to a level that is almost negligible!”
Energy loss, which played the most decisive role in reducing destructive power.
Beyond finding a way to completely eliminate the loss, Haimer made all sorts of alterations and improvements to the mana stones.
“I imprint the magic of self-sacrifice on the mana stone, activate it, and at the same time shoot it to the desired destination through the bombardment system…” “
Yes! For now, only the basic self-sacrifice spells are imprinted, but with more time, this can be improved into a more powerful performance!”
Unlike before, the mithril turret with only the bombardment system inscribed on it, completely erasing all complex spells. Contrary to the complex inscriptions of all sorts of miscellaneous formulas to extract, condense, amplify, control, control, and restrain the mana of the mana stone, it is a very simple and simple structure. Jaeyoung murmured heartily at this innovative method, which even had room for mass production.
“This… is it really okay?”
“Right? Right!”
A truly revolutionary idea.
However, Jaeyoung saw what he had created and remembered something in reality.
‘Isn’t this… just a field gun?’
When asked to make a magic turret, Haimer created something that is no different from a cannon existing in modern civilization. The thought that it would be a problem if his invention was revealed to this Arcadia flashed by, but Jae-young laughed at the thought of what he knew.
“Does the mana stone fly away every time you fire a shot?”
Unlike before, the principle of intentionally disintegrating and exploding the mana stone itself. It would have been a disadvantage if the mana stone was completely destroyed once used, but Haimer didn’t seem to mind at all.
“yes. However, the previous method was not too difficult to recycle mana stones, so I wondered if it was actually meaningful.”
Heimer’s answer was that that was it anyway.
Jaeyoung wondered if it was something worth saying after blowing away mana stones worth at least 100 gold each, but he answered with a smile at his confident answer.
“okay. Well, it’s not such a waste if it’s as destructive as a single top-notch mana stone.”
A huge pit at least 100m wide. Even the deep pit seemed to be at least 1m long, so at the moment when he thought that the cost performance would not be bad at this level, Haimer asked what he was talking about with a face.
“A top-notch mana stone? What do you mean?”
“huh? What do you mean?”
Jaeyoung and Haimer ask each other what they are talking about. Soon after, Haimer tilted his head and said with a puzzled look.
“The one I used is an intermediate mana stone?”
“what….?”
Intermediate, which is the most passable and accounts for most of the amount mined in the Gael Federation.
Realizing that the destructive power that created the roar and vibration that resonated throughout Cervenian’s rarity was the result of only an intermediate level mana stone, Jaeyoung opened his mouth in amazement.
And soon, a question came to mind.
‘If the intermediate level is like this… what will happen to the superlative level?’
A mana stone that is known to have a 10-fold difference in output per stage.
Jaeyoung, who predicted the result with simple multiplication, swallowed.
‘Because it’s 10×10… then 100 times…?’
Unimaginable destructive power.
However, because of his irresistible curiosity, Jaeyoung spoke to Haimer seriously.
“By any chance…then, shall we try it with the highest quality mana stones?”
“yes….? That’s a bit too wasteful…”
No matter how piled up they are, it’s a waste of top-notch mana stones. Heimer, who has lived a frugal life, clearly did not want to use the highest quality mana stone in this way, which permanently blows away in one shot, but Jaeyoung spoke very seriously.
“no. It’s not worth anything. Let’s try it.”
A very firm and resolute tone. In addition, Jaeyoung was the owner and the owner of all these magic materials, so Haimer made a slightly embarrassed expression and then nodded.
“Ah, I get it.”
While doing so, Haimer sat in the corner for a while, grabbed the top-notch mana stone, and devoted himself to engraving magic. Even Tan and El looked at them with interesting eyes, and after waiting for a long time, he took a deep breath with a face full of tension and stood up.
“Whoa… I’m done.”
Woo woo woo.
A mana stone that emits an ominous resonance and glows in a strange color.
Jaeyoung, who was looking at it with eyes full of tension and anticipation, Haimer muttered as if warning.
“be careful. It is very unstable.”
As if it were a ticking time bomb, Haimer carefully loaded the mana stones inside the mithril turret. And soon, the bombardment system was controlled and the target was set at maximum range.
“Can I just shoot now?”
“yes. Now, if you apply the minimum mana to activate the magic circle imprinted on the mana stone, activate the trigger, and immediately eject the mana stone, it will explode after a certain amount of time.”
“I see…”
Jaeyoung nodded calmly. Haimer, who glanced at his expectant eyes, soon swallowed nervously and asked.
“You really shoot?”
Haimer asks as if asking for permission. And in response to his question, Jaeyoung answered without hesitation.
“Shoot.”
At those words, Haimer activated the magic turret. The magic turret, which activated with a blue light, fired something with a huge explosion.
Quaang.
A top-notch mana stone that emits red light that flies far away so fast that it is impossible to notice with normal body sight.
The moment the mana stone flying in an incredibly unstable state disappears from sight and falls somewhere far away.
Jaeyoung and Haimer. And the rulers of the heavens and the demons had to witness the scene.
Wow.
A very ominous red magic.
As if swallowing everything, a huge shockwave that tore through the air along with a huge pillar of light began to sweep in after a fleeting moment.
Cuckoo coo coo coo
coo coo a huge explosion and a stormy wind.
And the earth trembles as if it were an earthquake.
In the moment of this tremendous disaster, as if the world had come to an end, Jaeyoung had to see it clearly.
A huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
