Mana stone.
It is an ore that literally contains mana, and is useful to all players, including wizards.
There are many uses for it, but one particularly powerful one stands out.
Enchantment of explosive magic.
It turns the mana stone into a kind of bomb, exploding all the mana inside.
Although it has the disadvantage of having to consume mana stones only once, its destructive power is such that even the lowest level mana stones can easily blow up a building.
And Seun.
Boom, Boom, KWAANG!!
Kwarrrr!!
Before arriving here, I made full use of stealth and placed mana stones throughout the goblin settlement.
The magic engraved on the mana stone is a given.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Fire Burst ]
– The most basic explosion magic of the Fire Tower, it causes a small explosion within a certain range. The power can be adjusted depending on the amount of mana used.
Fire Burst. That is, it was an explosion magic.
I would have liked to engrave Explosion, a higher level explosion magic.
Explosion was not a magic that Seun, a 2nd circle, could use, nor was it a magic that could be engraved on low-quality mana stones.
Although Fire Burst was originally supposed to cause a ‘small explosion’, the power of the explosion that devoured all the mana in the mana stone was enough to blow up a building.
In addition, Seun had installed most of the mana stones he had obtained from the goblin’s warehouse throughout the village.
Kwaaaaang!!
“Keeeeeek!”
“Ke, kehek! Kkeuk! Kkeuk!”
The hut here was also partially destroyed in the aftermath of the explosion, so the situation outside was clearly visible.
All I can see is hot flames.
The goblins rolled on the floor trying to put out the fire on their bodies, but there was nothing they could do about the heat coming in through their breath.
His lungs burned black and he lost his life in vain.
It’s the same wherever you look.
The village’s proud watchtower and walls collapse, and the goblins scream as their bodies catch fire.
This is absolute hell.
It was like a scene from hell, known to be filled with boiling sulfur and fire.
“My, my village! My village! My men!”
“So what? They’re all just stupid, useless people who don’t meet the standards anyway.”
“Yes, you dare!”
The chieftain of the goblin village. Kokonggak ran towards Seun, holding a blunt club tightly.
Escaping from this hot hell was impossible, and he could not hope for support from his subordinates, so he realized that the only way to survive was to somehow defeat Seun.
Boom!
The club swung by Kokonggak shattered the throne.
It was clearly aimed at Seun, but Seun had already completely disappeared from his sight.
“Wouldn’t it be bad if you don’t stop the bleeding?”
Crunch!
“Keeak!”
In addition to the previously severed right carotid artery, the left carotid artery was also severed.
As the blood flow to his head stopped, Kokonggak’s face turned white.
In order to stop the bleeding, Kokonggak hurriedly wrapped both hands around his neck. As a result, the bat naturally fell to the floor.
“That doesn’t mean you can throw away your weapons.”
Sigh.
Seun’s dagger was thrust into the center of Kokongkak’s neck. So deep that only the handle was barely visible.
A named monster leading thousands of goblins was defeated by a single player in less than a minute.
– Defeated the named monster, ‘Cunning Hobgoblin, Kokonkak’.
-The level has increased.
– Personal public service value increases by 8,000 points.
– Defeating a named monster alone increases your personal reputation by an additional 4,000 points.
-You have obtained the ‘Kokongkak’s Hexagonal Bat’.
Kokonggak lost his life while holding onto his carotid artery. It was an extremely absurd ending for a named monster.
‘Well, I think it was this kind of dungeon from the beginning.’
In the second chapter of the tutorial, there is a village with thousands of goblins. If even the named monsters in this dungeon are strong, no one would have been able to conquer it.
In fact, this dungeon was originally a hidden dungeon that was difficult to conquer even if the two camps cooperated to challenge it, but such conditions did not apply to Seun.
– You have completed the hidden dungeon, ‘Cunning Goblin Village’, flawlessly.
-The level has increased.
-You have achieved amazing things.
– Personal public service value increases by 20,000 points as a reward.
Perfectly, without any fault.
This was the first time that Seun had seen such an adverb.
Well, it goes beyond just clearing the dungeon, it’s the dungeon itself that’s blown up, so it’s probably hard to find a more perfect dungeon clear than this.
-The constellation, the ‘hungry prince’, looks at you with bright eyes.
“yes yes.”
Seun used the power of gluttony on Kokongkak.
What is this? Since the God of Gluttony was directly concerned about me, I couldn’t forget to use my power.
As soon as he used his power, several teeth appeared as if they had been waiting and opened their mouths in a hurry.
The body of Kokonggak, who still couldn’t close his eyes as if he couldn’t believe his own death, quickly disappeared.
– Predated the ‘Cunning Hobgoblin, Kokonkak’.
– Absorbs nutrients, increasing Agility by 5 and Intelligence by 10.
-A small amount of internal energy and mana is absorbed into the danjeon and circle.
Indeed, it is a named monster. It provides abilities equivalent to level 5 and then disappears.
There’s an additional phrase there that wasn’t usually visible.
‘I didn’t know it could even absorb mana.’
Up until now, the only things that could be increased with the power of gluttony were ability values. That’s why I’ve been using the mind method or the magic tower training method to gather mana.
But you can absorb mana with the power of gluttony?
This makes things different. Simply by hunting monsters, you can gather internal energy and increase your circle.
‘Of course, there will be limitations.’
Although it was his first time experiencing it, Se-Woon was able to roughly anticipate the limitations.
That’s right, the presence or absence of mana.
A hobgoblin ruling a village of this size would likely have a small amount of mana, even if he couldn’t use it.
The mana was absorbed into Seun through the power of gluttony.
This was exactly the condition that Seun had guessed.
As I was about to turn around after finishing the dungeon raid, another message from Beelzebub appeared.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, looks at the huge tray of ripe, golden eggs, saying that it is not enough.
‘Tray?’
Se-woon tilted his head, wondering what he meant.
Then soon I was able to figure out what it meant.
A plate full of ripe vegetables. In other words, it referred to the entire village that Seun had blown up.
However, the number of goblins who lost their lives to Seun in this village was countless.
At least a thousand.
It is impossible to use the power of gluttony on each and every one of them. Furthermore, Beelzebub is now fed up with goblins, so even if he uses the power, his ability stats won’t increase any more.
‘Should I just ignore it?’
Se-woon scratched his head, feeling annoyed.
Have you read Seun’s thoughts like that?
Beelzebub gave new strength to Seun.
-Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ enhances the power of gluttony by one level.
– It is possible to prey on a large number of corpses at once by setting a range with the ‘Power of Gluttony’.
-When a certain number of corpses are consumed at once, additional nutrients are absorbed.
“Ohh.”
Set the scope.
It was a skill that seemed quite convenient for Seun, who had been dealing with a lot of monsters recently.
It’s not that it’s difficult to use, but it was quite cumbersome to use the power on each monster individually.
And what about ‘additional nutrient absorption’?
Se-Woon used the enhanced power of gluttony without hesitation.
-Designated the entire ‘Cunning Goblin Village’ with the power of gluttony.
-The fangs of gluttony are coming to attack the village!
Kwajik!
Starting with the mutilation of a goblin corpse in the center of the village.
Crunch, crunch!
Wood crunch!
The teeth of Beelzebub fell upon the entire village.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, cheers as he watches the prey fill his table!
At that moment, Se-un was able to feel it for the first time as he watched the agar that had engulfed the entire village.
The power of Beelzebub, the god of gluttony.
What if those teeth weren’t just for monsters that Seun had defeated? What if they could be used on living targets as well?
With a terrible scream, the targeted beings will be thrown alive into Beelzebub’s belly.
I didn’t realize it when I saw them one by one, but as I watched the countless teeth covering the village, I realized anew that he was a ‘demon’.
Soon after, all the goblin corpses in the village disappeared.
– 2,101 goblins were preyed on in the designated villages within the range.
– Absorbs a large amount of nutrients, increasing all abilities by 10.
-A large amount of internal energy and mana begins to be absorbed.
“Even mana?”
All abilities increase by 10. That means a total of 40 abilities increased.
This alone is surprising enough, but his internal energy and mana also increased! Moreover, the amount was more than Seun could have imagined.
Woof!
As if a huge tidal wave of energy had rushed in, just like what I had felt in the common area of the ‘Forgotten Hero’s Training Grounds’.
The mana present in a single goblin was so weak that even the goblins themselves could not sense it, but it was the mana that permeated 2,101 goblins.
As the saying goes, “A little dust makes a mountain,” even the smallest amount of mana was absorbed into Seun’s body at once, so its presence was enormous.
Woohoo!
Seun quickly used the training methods of the Extreme Deep Strike and the Black Tower.
A tidal wave of energy that had been surging wildly as if the road was blocked seeped into Seun’s danjeon and circle.
The dantian where Ban-ga-ja’s internal energy had already been accumulated quickly expanded, and the second mana circle that had recently been paved also became taut.
Could it be because the monster’s accumulated energy was closer to mana compared to its cleanly polished internal energy? The amount of mana seeping into the circle was enormous.
The amount was too much for the second mana circle to handle.
As a result.
-You have successfully created a third Mana Circle through the Black Tower’s training method.
-The use of 3-circle magic has become possible with the creation of new circles.
– Depending on the level of the mana circle, the level, power, and speed of the magic that can be used increase.
-The destructive power of magic used increases further according to the secrets of the Black Tower’s training method.
-You have achieved amazing things.
-You have earned 10,000 points as a reward.
Seun was only able to complete the third circle in the second chapter of the tutorial.
