Chapter 303
weird.
‘… … How long will it fall?’
What’s strange is, the time of the fall is strange.
‘I think it’s been an hour since it started to fall.’
1 hours.
This is a fall time that makes no sense in common sense.
‘In common sense, monsters can’t be this big.’
I haven’t been able to figure out the exact situation yet, so I can’t say for sure.
I guess I was probably eaten by a monster.
The lure was lured by the beauty of the rose garden, and swallowed whole by a flytrap-like monster that swallowed it whole.
Then, it should fall somewhere, whether it’s in the stomach of a monster or in a digestive sac.
But what is my condition now?
It’s still crashing down the drain.
That’s for an hour or so.
Does this make sense?
I’m in a free fall with no resistance, but I’m falling for an hour.
It wouldn’t make sense unless the size of this monster was planetary.
‘It doesn’t make sense that the falling speed doesn’t go up any higher than this.’
Whether it’s a person or an object, the more they fall, the faster they should go.
However, my fall speed was completely fixed at some point.
It’s physically inconceivable.
No matter how you look at it, there is something secret about this fall.
‘As expected, solving this incomprehensible phenomenon is the first ordeal?’
A fall that occurred as suddenly as the ordeal that began suddenly.
If this is not an ordeal, what is an ordeal?
‘Then there is a solution… … .’
I was lost in thought, leaving my whole body to the feeling of floating.
As long as you know you won’t fall anyway, you don’t have to worry about falling.
‘This situation seems to be placed in a state of weightlessness. Rather good.’
Feels like lying on a cloud.
There is no need to pay attention to the body, and all nerves are focused on the brain.
It’s the perfect environment to organize your thoughts.
‘Infinite fall that looks like an infinite loop. Mana who doesn’t listen to me. A magic that shows no signs of being activated.’
I fill in the information that this situation was created to test me, and draw a conclusion.
‘This situation is most likely to check my crisis response ability and basic ability.’
Then you got the answer.
The key to breaking this situation is my basic ability.
Among them, the probability of being in the most recently learned Ring of Awakening is very high.
As it was, I focused all my nerves on spinning the infinity circle.
As much as Mana didn’t listen to me, the Infinity Circle didn’t rotate properly either.
Using the mana remaining in my body, I somehow succeeded in spinning it.
It hadn’t been oiled properly, so it was spinning like a rusted cogwheel forced to roll, though.
It was important to go back once.
‘Perhaps the clear condition is to create the pattern of awakening safely even under these adverse conditions.’
creak, creak.
I forcibly moved the Infinity Circle, which had no intention of moving as I thought, and realized the Mobius pattern.
Of course, there was no such thing as an instant success.
‘It’s much harder than I thought.’
What would happen if we asked programmers who used to work on state-of-the-art computers to work on old computers that were about to break down?
Can I get the job done without any problems?
No way. It won’t be less than 10% of the usual efficiency.
Breaking away from the familiar work process and adapting to the old style is more difficult than imagined.
this is my situation now
I’m not used to dealing with a creaky, non-functioning Infinity Circle.
If you block one, you’ll have trouble with the other.
If you block another one, you’ll have trouble with the other one.
something isn’t going right
Isn’t total crisis a word used in this case?
‘Is this a reverse feeling?’
During my academy days, someone said this.
I can’t really feel it when I use AI with lower performance and move on to AI with higher performance.
Conversely, if you use a high-performance AI and change it to a low-performance AI, you may become frustrated and go crazy.
That means there is a sense of inversion.
At the time, I couldn’t understand what you meant.
I know for sure because I have experienced it in my own body.
reverse experience.
This is more horrifying than I thought.
‘still… … I’m getting used to it little by little.’
A craftsman doesn’t choose a tool.
As I repeat it, I somehow get used to it.
Should I say that I figured out how to handle this junk that is on the verge of breaking to make it work normally?
‘Give up what you’re giving up. For now, let’s just focus on making the ring of awakening work normally.’
Power, power, processing efficiency.
don’t need all
My current Infinity Circle is unable to perform that level of function.
Give up everything, and focus only on composing the form for now.
‘Leave all other rings to a minimum. Concentrate all mana only on the ring of awakening.’
As each link is organically connected, it is impossible to completely exclude the others.
Therefore, it is necessary to get the knack of distributing the minimum amount enough for the ring of awakening to work properly to the other rings.
‘If you raise the output of the Ring of Deliberation a little more and lower the Ring of Expansion to keep the balance… … .’
That’s how dozens of trial and error are repeated.
Over the 132nd trial and error.
Round 133.
‘bingo!’
Finally, we succeeded in creating a structure that focuses all output on the Ring of Awakening.
‘With this, the Möbius pattern is composed in the minimum size.’
Mana started creeping out soon after.
Mana, the size of which is smaller than a pinky fingernail, begins to take shape.
It was a Mobius pattern that would have been completed as easily as breathing normally.
Now I don’t move as I please.
‘… … okay. This is another penance from here.’
As much as the external mana was completely cut off, the mana that flowed out did not think to listen to me.
If you’re just a little bit careless, you’ll lose control in an instant.
That’s not right.
If I lose even the mana I released to the outside, I don’t have a handful of mana left.
Then everything really ends.
‘Concentrate. Concentrate.’
I focused all my attention on mana the size of a fingernail.
1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour.
The more I focus, the more time I spend.
Mana gradually changed into what I wanted.
‘A little more, a little more… … .’
And about 3 hours passed.
By the time my whole body was covered with cold sweat.
Pee-ee-!
The mana has been changed into the perfect Mebius pattern.
‘success… … did!’
Even in these adverse conditions, I succeeded in creating a perfect Mobius pattern.
A strange sense of achievement ran through my body.
Exciting.
It felt like solving an unsolved case that could never be solved.
‘I can use the tips I learned now even when I go outside.’
And most of all, it was nice to feel that I had grown even more.
The tuning method between each ring used now will be helpful later when selection and concentration are needed.
Control has also improved considerably.
I can’t be this satisfied.
It was when he had such a bright smile.
Pee-ee-!
The Mobius pattern, the size of a fingernail, created on my palm emitted light with a huge mana resonant sound.
As if engaging with the slowly spreading light, strength began to return to my body.
‘Mana is returning to normal.’
To be precise, the empty mana began to be quickly absorbed, and the body was regaining its original condition.
The mana affected by the light emitted by the Moebius pattern moves according to my will.
As if he had ignored my words, he returned to his usual mana.
At the same time, the falling speed of my body began to rapidly decrease.
The feeling of floating disappears in an instant, as if it had been falling.
About 3 seconds passed like that.
The feeling of floating in my body has completely disappeared.
The infinite loop fall is completely over.
‘also. The ring of awakening was the key.’
My prediction was right.
This situation was a trial designed to check my crisis response ability and basic ability.
With this, the first ordeal is over.
I passed the first ordeal safely.
The satisfaction that had been so great grew even more.
‘by the way… … .’
I just kicked the ground with one foot.
A soft feel that is sure to be felt.
‘When did I get to the bottom?’
Right after the fall stops.
As the feeling of floating in my body completely disappeared, I realized that I was standing with my feet on the ground.
The ghost was supposed to sing.
Apparently, until 0.1 seconds ago, it was floating in the air.
I didn’t even feel like falling to the floor, but when I noticed, I reached the ground in an instant.
It’s a very strange feeling.
‘Was the fall an illusion?’
It took me a total of 7 hours and 23 minutes to organize my thoughts and come up with a result.
It is physically impossible to fall during that time.
Therefore, it was my mistake to think that it would fall.
I wonder if I tricked my senses in some special way.
‘Then it makes sense that I couldn’t handle mana.’
Being able to control my five senses at will is the same as saying that I can control the senses that handle mana to some extent.
Perhaps it was because of that power that I controlled mana so that it could not be moved.
Manipulating my senses, it made me feel as if Mana wasn’t listening to me.
‘Because it’s much harder to manipulate the senses of the mana circuit than to manipulate the five physical senses. The sense of mana control was alive to some extent.’
He managed to create a Mobius pattern with his mana manipulation sense to some extent.
With the completed Moebius pattern, all kinds of mana is concentrated and absorbed, and mana overflows into my body at once.
Because of the vast amount of mana, I can’t control my mana circuit, and control is released.
Subsequently, the sensory control of the body was also released.
The situation looks roughly like this.
‘So you’re saying that since I was in the rose garden, I’ve been hallucinating… … .’
I couldn’t use mana before I fell here.
In other words, I was hallucinating before being eaten by this monster.
‘Is it hallucination magic using the scent of roses?’
Since it is a monster disguised as a rose garden, it seems that it must have hallucinated using the scent of roses.
Otherwise, there is no need to prepare a rose garden at the entrance.
“… … wait for a sec.”
At that time, I was suddenly seized with a strange sense of incongruity. The warm feeling that I had felt until just before the fall had disappeared.
“Miho… … doesn’t exist?”
Could it be that the feeling of holding Miho was fake?
‘Then where is the real Miho?’
There is nothing around.
Even after activating the Shinan and examining it, I couldn’t find any life reaction, let alone Miho.
‘Could it be that it was fake from the beginning?’
before falling here.
Was Miho who was with me in the rose garden fake?
Didn’t Miho get into Danteroa’s Book together?
‘No, that’s not it. The time I was hallucinating was when I couldn’t use magic, just a few seconds before I fell. There’s no way that Miho, who was with me before then, was just a hallucination.’
Certainly, I came here with Miho.
Miho who was with me is not fake.
Miho must have fallen into this with me.
“Miho!”
I called Miho out loud.
Just in case I didn’t notice. Could it be that Miho is lying around?
Wouldn’t it wake you up if you heard my voice?
I thought so, and shouted once.
Of course, Miho’s cries never returned.
‘Oh yeah. I can use Factio.’
I was so confused that I forgot.
No matter where Miho is now, Miho and I are connected by Factio.
You just need to summon it using Factio.
I grabbed the Covenant Stone that was hung around my neck and used Factio.
‘Facty… … .’
But at that very moment.
“stop.”
A hand protruded from somewhere and grabbed my hand, blocking the activation of Factio.
“If you use that magic now, this guy will just explode. If you are not wishing to commit suicide, leave it there.”
An unidentified man who slowly began to appear.
A blond-haired man who seemed to fit the title of a scion better than anyone else was staring at me.
