64. Orb of Kirkarashtel
‘The Orb of the Forgotten God Kirkarashtel.’
Seunghyun Kang looked at the large orange orb in his hand.
‘I used it to beat Ail earlier, but…’
The main abilities of the Kirkarashtel Orb are strong magic resistance and magic defense.
In a word, it is an item to defeat the mage.
‘With this, I’ll be able to break the connecting circuit. After all, it’s a holy relic that contains the power of God.’
Even if people forget it, God is God.
A holy relic with such strong magic resistance can replace the anti-magic sword.
Kang Seung-hyun moved his gaze to the main magic circle.
Pajik
Pajijik!
In the main magic circle, the reverse flow of mana is still happening every now and then.
“Watch out Mr. Kang!”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was behind, shouted with an anxious face.
“Get closer and you’ll hit that spark!”
Pajik Pajijik!
At first glance, it looks like an electric spark, but in reality it is a phenomenon in which mana accumulated beyond the limit bursts out.
“That is pure magic. With the slightest impact, it will explode.”
Shuire nodded and agreed.
You should keep your distance as far as possible.
“You have to keep your distance…”
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the orb in his hand.
If it’s a weapon such as a sword or staff, you can keep it at a certain distance, so you can break the connection circuit without touching the spark.
‘The problem is that this isn’t a sword, it’s a bead’
What Kang Seung-hyun is holding now is a bead the size of a baseball that fits in one hand. To use this to disconnect, you must get close to the magic circle.
“Certainly, it would be dangerous to just approach it.”
Kang Seung-hyeon muttered as he threw Kirkarastel’s orb.
“Well… if you do this, you’ll be able to do something.”
After thinking for a moment, Kang Seung-hyun took out a potion from his inventory.
“What is that?”
“A sticky potion.”
What Kang Seung-hyun took out was a sticky potion.
“A sticky potion…?”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“I’m going to write it like this.”
[Thread drawing]
When Kang Seung-hyun used the skill, a sticky thread came out from the sticky potion.
“line?”
The two of them didn’t know because they were sleeping, but Kang Seung-hyun played with I-Il with this. I plan to do something similar this time.
Chow!
Kang Seung-hyun wrapped a sticky thread around the orb and attached it.
“Kirkarashtel’s… fist!”
Then, he swung the orb like a mace and crashed it into the wall.
thud!
If Aile in Hell had seen this, he would have fallen on the floor and sobbed.
‘If I wield it this way, I don’t need to get close.’
As Kang Seung-hyun swung the orb, Shuire opened her mouth with a puzzled face.
“Isn’t that a precious item? Can I use it that way?”
“How are you? It is an item even if it is precious.”
If you attack by hanging on a line like this, you can attack from a distance. Since there is no direct approach, it is safe even in the backflow of magical power.
Kang Seung-hyeon swung the orb once again.
‘[Observation eye].’
At the same time, [Observation Eye] was used.
I was able to find a particularly large and intensely glowing line in the connecting circuit.
The information that appears on such a line is only two letters.
-[Danger]-
It is a warning that there will soon be a backflow of mana or an explosion of mana.
‘But just before the mana bursts out, it means that I’m in a weakened state!’
It was also said to be easy to break.
thud!!
Kang Seung-hyun purposely aimed for the line where the [danger] information appeared. Originally, the mana would explode and generate a powerful spark, but
it would hold on tight…
Kirkarastel’s orb suppressed the mana that was about to burst out.
“Is the magic backflow… is it waning?”
“Oh… it’s real. The spark is fading.”
Even Shuire, who couldn’t see the magical linking circuit, could understand this.
‘That strange orb is suppressing the exploding magic power!’
That the orb contained power equal to or even greater than that of the anti-magic sword.
“With that, I can break the magic link circuit!”
When Shuire shouted with a relieved face, Kang Seung-hyun nodded and swung the orb.
thud!
Let’s keep swinging with the momentum to break down the wall.
Grabbing…
The magic that was about to burst out was suppressed.
Pod!
A glowing line connected to the magic circle was cut off.
One of the magical linking circuits had disappeared.
‘It’s cut off!’
Seunghyun Kang smiled and swung the orb.
cooong! coo!!
grasp!
The second and third connection circuits were severed as the orb continued to be slammed into the wall.
“I’m getting weaker!”
“Hey, does that work?”
The amount of magic power flowing into the magic circle decreased each time the magic link circuit was disconnected.
And finally.
Grasp!
All the glowing lines connected to the magic circle disappeared.
‘finished.’
As all of the magical power connection circuits were destroyed, the magical energy stopped flowing into the herb growing room.
“Did you stop?”
“It seems to have stopped roughly.”
When no more magic power flowed in, the broken magic circle stopped working.
Kim Ho-jeong quietly approached the magic circle.
“Oh… nothing really happened!”
Even if I touched the magic circle with my hand, nothing happened.
Kim Ho-jung muttered with a curious face.
“As expected, Mr. Kang! How did you come up with that idea?”
“This is all thanks to Aile. I need to set up a memorial service table for you.”
Kang Seung-hyeon said as he put the orb in his inventory.
Thanking A’il, who should be burning in hell by now.
“Are you a real healer?”
“If you know how to heal, you are a healer.”
“Yes, yes… Healer who is good at everything except for heels.”
Shuire smiled and opened her mouth.
“This is all over. I lived thanks to Hiller. Talk to the professor and get a good reward…”
“No, it’s not over.”
“yes…?”
“Think about it. Seeing that the herb growing room has reached this point…”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were investigating the defective herbs distributed in the Mage Tower. In the process, it was discovered that a large amount of mana that exceeded the standard had flowed into the herb growing room.
“There must be something wrong with the magic center.”
“That’s right! We have to go to the magic center right now!”
The flow of such a large amount of mana means that there is a problem with the mana power system.
“In addition, it prevented a large amount of mana from being driven into the herb growing room, but…”
Kang Seung-hyeon inspected the ceiling and walls of the herb growing room.
The connection circuit leading to the magic circle was cut off, but the other connection circuits are intact.
“Where will all that mana go now?”
The magic power flowing into the herb growing room will spread to other areas.
“If we don’t stop it quickly, magical power will flow in all directions…”
“Everyone will explode!”
Disconnecting the magic link circuit was only a temporary measure. In order to solve the root cause, I had to go to the magic center.
Shuire touched her forehead and said.
“I have to report to the professor what has happened so far.”
“That would be nice.”
-Shuire used communication magic to explain this to Professor Tansel.
=That kind of thing happened in the herb growing room…=
Upon hearing the story, Professor Tansel sighed in a mixed voice.
“This is not a situation to just move on.”
= I think so too. It’s not a situation to just pass by. According to your description… there must be something big wrong with the magic center. =
Professor Tansel nodded and agreed. If the magic circle is destroyed, the magic center will not be normal either.
“If magic explosions happen everywhere like this, even the magic tower won’t be able to withstand it. The building itself may collapse.”
=I don’t even want to imagine that.=
Professor Tansel sighed. If the magic tower collapses, all the data that has been researched so far will be lost and dozens or hundreds of casualties will occur.
“In addition, if the mage tower collapses, the protective barrier that protects the city will disappear!”
Shuire shouted with a nervous face. If the protective barrier disappears, it is certain that the monsters in this area will flock to Kamar. It had to be stopped at all costs.
“We need to investigate the magic core right now.”
It was impossible to cut the circuits spread out in the mage tower one by one. If so, the only thing left to do is fix the magic center, which is the cause of this situation.
Professor Tansel thought for a while before opening his mouth.
=The center of magic power is a place that is no different from the origin of the magic tower.=
The power of the magic tower. The source that moves the magic tower. Anyway, a very important place.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the beginning and end of the Magic Tower.
“Of course… it’s not a place that anyone can easily come in and out of.”
Shuire added to Professor Tansel’s words.
The center of magical power is not a place where even professors, let alone ordinary magicians like Shuire, go in and out.
“Even the professor can’t go. It’s going to be a bit tough this time.”
Kim Ho-jeong said while touching her chin.
We were allowed to enter the herb growing room with permission from Professor Tansel. However, the center of magical power is a situation where even Professor Tansel cannot easily enter and exit.
=Because that place is out of my jurisdiction.=
I don’t think I can get help from Professor Tansel this time.
“Then who manages the magic core?”
=This is Haibe, one of the sub-masters of the Crimson Tower
. Sub-masters are the rank immediately below the master and candidates to become the next master.
= “Roquer, who is currently sitting in the master seat, will be stepping down from the master seat soon. =
“Master Roquer is retiring? no why? A person who is healthy and in good shape.”
Shuire said with a puzzled face. It seemed that he didn’t know because he was outside the magic tower.
= He said he wanted to rest soon because
he was old.
=You said that if you resign from the master position, you will go to the center of the continent.=
Because of that, candidates are fiercely competing for the master position, which will soon become vacant in the Crimson Mage Tower.
= Haibe is currently the most promising candidate for the next Master. If nothing special happens, you’ll easily sit in the master’s
seat
.
In fact, the second-in-command of the Crimson Magic Tower.
“Because I need to have that much power to manage the magic center.”
“That’s right.”
=Anyway, Mr. Haibe holds the authority to enter and leave the center of magic.=
To enter the center of magic, you must get his permission. Hearing the story, Seunghyun Kang stood up.
“Then there is nothing to worry about. Let’s go find it.”
One of the tallest in the Magic Tower.
To Vicemaster Haibe.
