Chapter 381
The site of halamanium.
The last arrangement Master has prepared for me.
True to the name of Halamanium’s ‘site’, it is characterized by existing in the real world, not in a virtual space.
Because it was a place that actually existed, I was able to bring Soonchan and Adela with me.
“… … What are you?”
Soon-chan blinked his eyes and looked around blankly.
“… … Is it a crystal cave?”
Adela observed her surroundings with a cold expression.
“This is our destination. It is the site of Halamanium.”
“Are you going here?”
Adela looked around, still wary.
As this is the first space I have ever seen, it must be that it is not easy to relax.
“huh? Is this a training ground? Where are you looking?”
Sunchan is still looking around the cave with a surprised expression.
A translucent glowing cave wall.
As Adela said earlier, it resembles a crystal.
“Iknow, right. this structure. It doesn’t look like a structure suitable for training.”
Adela carefully placed her hand on the wall of the cave.
“… … !”
At that moment, Adela’s eyes widened.
It seems that he noticed the structure of this cave.
“Ore filling the cave… … Are all magic stones?”
“Is this magic stone? Can’t you feel the mana?”
Sunchan opened his eyes wide and scanned the inside of the cave.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s a normal mineral?”
The expression of not feeling anything.
Well, it’s not natural to have such a reaction.
“Magic right.”
Those ores resembling crystals are all magic stones.
“Brilliant magic stone. It is an artificial magic stone that can be used semi-permanently.”
“Semi-permanent… … ? You mean it won’t be destroyed even if you use up all the mana?”
“that’s right.”
Magic stones are a type of disposable battery.
When all the mana that makes up the magic stone is consumed, that’s it.
With the disappearance of mana, the magic stone is shattered.
“Brilliant Magic Stones can be recharged and reused even if all mana is consumed.”
However, the Bright Magic Stone is different.
If regular Magic Stones are disposable batteries, Bright Magic Stones are rechargeable batteries.
Unlike normal magic stones, even if the mana is exhausted, the structure is not destroyed or anything.
“It is a mysterious magic stone. How can I process it so that it has such properties?”
Adela looked at the magic stone with an excited expression.
“… … It’s a rechargeable magic stone, and you can’t feel the mana at all?”
Sunchan furrowed his brow and glared at the radiant magic stone.
Do you think you can see mana if you look at it like that?
“ah! Are you sure it hasn’t charged yet? So if you can’t feel the mana, that’s a different story… … .”
“It is not. The charge is complete.”
“… … okay?”
Soonchan frowned.
“But why can’t I feel anything?”
Soonchan looked at Adela with a frown.
“Adela. Can you feel the mana?”
“no.”
Adela shook her head.
“I am the same. I can’t feel anything.”
“… … huh? okay?”
“yes.”
“But how did you realize that this was a magic stone?”
“Because the mana in the body moved from the moment I touched the ore.”
Even if it came into contact with an ordinary mineral, mana did not move.
Only magic stones react to mana.
In the first place, the definition of magic stone is a mineral that reacts to ‘mana’.
“Mana moves… … ? I don’t even know.”
“Even if it did, it was a very weak movement. I can’t feel it.”
“aha. If you could describe it as a feeble movement… … .”
Sunchan shrugged.
‘If Adela barely sensed it, it’s no wonder I couldn’t feel it.’
It was a look and gesture that seemed to say this.
“however… … .”
Adela removed her hand from the Luminous Magic Stone and looked at me.
“This magic stone. What is it for?”
It was the expression of a detective who started a reasoning.
“You said that the site of Halamanium was built for training purposes, so it seems certain that it was a magic stone for training. I can’t even imagine how to use it. How can I train with this… … .”
I told you a long time ago that the site of Halamanium is a training facility.
Since it was a special magic stone provided in the training facility, it was a reasonable approach to assume that it was for training.
“curious?”
“yes.”
But that’s all I can guess.
No matter how much Adela was, it was impossible to imagine how to use the Bright Magic Stone in its current state.
“Then one hundred words is not worth one thousand words. Shall we activate it for a moment?”
“yes.”
A frown flowed from Adela’s eyes.
An expression of indifference.
“okay. then. Let me activate it for a moment. It wouldn’t be that dangerous if it was only for a short while.”
“… … Is it dangerous?”
“no. It’s okay to just taste it. wait a minute. I will activate it now.”
I put my hand on one side of the cave and breathed mana into it.
‘The property of the Bright Magic Stone is absorption.’
Bright Magic Stone has the property of absorbing mana.
That’s why it can have a ‘rechargeable’ structure.
‘However, this absorption property is reversed in response to a specific mana.’
The Luminous Magic Stone has two faces.
Just like Jekyll and Hyde.
‘Now, it’s time to show your second face.’
My mana flowed into the Bright Magic Stone.
Mana with a very special wavelength.
This wavelength is the trigger that reverses the Bright Magic Stone.
‘The second property of the Bright Magic Stone is release.’
At this moment, the Brilliant Magic Stone, which had the property of infinitely ‘absorbing’ mana, is reversed and changes to the property of ’emitting’ infinitely.
Kugoong-!
The cave trembled.
The luminous magic stones covering the entire cave poured out mana all at once, and mana gin was generated.
“… … Kyaaak!”
Adela sat down in her seat with a tearing scream.
He clutches his head and writhes in pain.
“Aaaaaagh!”
Soon-chan also showed the same reaction as Adela.
He lost his balance and collapsed, twisting his entire body as if in pain.
It wouldn’t be strange if both of them fainted right now.
‘Return to the nature of absorption again.’
Looking at those two, I breathed mana into the cave again.
With that mana as a trigger, the property of the Bright Magic Stone was reversed once again, and changed to an infinite ‘absorption’ property.
“… … eww.”
“Huh, huh… … .”
Adela put her head down and groaned.
Sunchan exhaled a heavy breath as he lay face down on the ground.
“What, what, just… … . what… … something happened… … is it me?”
Cold sweat was pouring down from both of them like rain.
“how is it?”
The two slowly raised their heads and looked at me.
“I tried activating the Bright Magic Stone for a while. Can you hold on?”
“Hold… Are you worth it? You are a person who can endure this… Do you see it as a reaction?”
Sunchan frowned.
“What is that… … . It’s not a level of mana that a person can endure.”
Soon-chan tried to get up, but fell down again.
His legs are shaking like a newborn calf, as if his legs aren’t getting enough strength.
“What, what is it? why the body… … .”
“It’s because my muscles and nerves are surprised. Stay still.”
“You said your body functions were paralyzed because you were suppressed by the mana density? Nonsense… … .”
Overwhelmed by the mana density, there was a problem with bodily functions.
Of course, Mana wouldn’t move either.
I had a problem with my muscles and nerves, but there’s no way I didn’t have a problem with my mana circle.
“Adela. you stay still If you try to overdo it, it gets worse.”
“eww… … . yes.”
Adela relaxed and nodded slightly.
It must have been concluded that it was impossible to get up from the seat.
“Heir. we came… … . huh?”
Then Mimir appeared.
After that, Elena-nim and Aslan-nim also appeared.
“Are you ready?”
These three went to each other in Danteroa, saying that they had something to prepare.
To appear like this now means that all preparations have been completed.
“uh? uh. It’s over, but… … .”
Mimir looked at Adela and Sunchan in turn, then turned his gaze to me.
“… … successor. Could it be that you activated the Bright Magic Stone?”
“uh. about 1 second. I thought it would be good to experience it beforehand.”
“… … ha.”
Mimir sighed openly as if to show me.
“I told you to wait. But why… … .”
“There is a saying that it is better to sell first. I just wanted to let you experience it, so I gave you a little taste.”
“Wherever you look at this, you can only taste it… … . You tasted the main dish and even the dessert.”
Mimir raised his forehead and shook his head.
“Adela. are you okay?”
Miss Elena asked Adela with a worried expression.
“Lie down, lift your chin, and focus on your breathing.”
Aslan-nim is also making a worried expression for some reason.
“hmm… … .”
“Heir. I thought you didn’t know why you were making such a fuss right now?”
“… … .”
I was stabbed in the middle.
Mimir sighed as the ground went out again.
“Heir. Activate the Bright Magic Stone now. how was it?”
“How was it and what, I just didn’t feel much. I activated it with minimal output. How long will it come when the feeling comes?”
“… … You were thinking that way too.”
Mimir shook his head.
The eyes looking at me are strange.
Should I say the expression of a kindergarten teacher looking at a mischievous person?
It looked like he was blaming, but mixed with affection, it was really just like a kindergarten teacher.
“Heir. I don’t know what the Heir was thinking. The Bright Magic Stone does not have the ability to control the amount of mana emitted.”
“… … uh?”
I was at a loss for words for a moment.
“The amount of mana released… … Can’t you control it?”
“uh. It’s impossible.”
“… … why?”
There was a sentence like this in the book that contained the information about the ‘Halamanium site’ prepared in the book of Danteroa.
[When you first enter the grounds of Halamanium, the Luminous Magic Stone Cave will welcome the successor.]
[It will be a very difficult ordeal.]
It was to the extent that Master described it as a ‘hard trial’.
That’s why I thought I could control the mana emission of the Bright Magic Stone.
Even so, the mana contained in the Bright Magic Stone was never to the point of being called a ‘tough ordeal’.
So, of course, there is this upper stage, this is just a tasting stage, I was thinking.
… … By the way, it’s impossible to control the amount of mana emitted?
“Then this mana release… … You mean the minimum and maximum output?”
“that’s right.”
“… … this?”
Is this just the end?
Is this the only ordeal that Master even warned of as a ‘hard trial’?
“It couldn’t have been this easy… … .”
To have a headache.
Common sense that was obvious is actually an emergency, so I feel like I’ve been told.
“Heir. If you leave it like this, it will always be misunderstood. I’ll just cut it off and tell you.”
Mimir looked at me with worldly serious eyes.
“To endure within that mana density just now is a difficult ordeal. The amount of mana emitted by the Bright Magic Stones here is lightly beyond the lethal dose.”
“… … .”
My head hurts all over again.
A feeling of cognitive dissonance.
Something didn’t mesh with my thoughts and Mimir’s words.
“Thinking about it again, it wasn’t a lethal dose… … .”
Just a little massive mana.
It was nothing more and nothing less.
“It makes no sense to say I was mistaken. There’s no way I can’t figure out the amount of mana properly.”
It is no exaggeration to say that my mana sensing ability is world-class.
Didn’t I properly grasp the mana density?
It is impossible.
“It’s true that the heir was mistaken.”
Mimir affirmed again.
An expression full of confidence that doesn’t even feel the slightest suspicion.
“It’s because the heir isn’t properly aware of what state he’s in right now.”
“… … How is my body?”
“huh.”
Mimir continued.
“Now, not only the circle, but also the body of the heir has a very similar nature to mana.”
“… … Does the nature of the body change? why?”
“Because the absorbed dragon’s mana has started to be completely digested.”
“ah.”
The work of absorbing the dragon’s mana is almost complete.
All that was left now was the process of forging the absorbed mana entirely into mine.
As Mimir said, it is in a state of digestion.
“Because it has become close to mana, there has been a change in the sense of accepting the density of mana from the outside.”
It was said that it was an illusion caused by a different sense.
The sensation of 4G gravity for a person who lived on a planet where 1G is the default is different from the sensation of 4G gravity for a person who lived on a planet where 3G is the default.
“now. The heir’s body is beyond the human category… … It’s something out of the ordinary.”
