Episode 38
38. Episode 38
Creation of the third mana circle.
It was an unexpected situation even for Se-un.
That would be the case, since Se-Woon’s location was only about halfway through the second chapter of the tutorial.
Considering that even the most talented wizards barely reach the level of 2nd Circle Master by the end of the tutorial, this may be the first time in the long history of the Tower that this has happened.
As if to prove it.
-The history of the tower has been updated.
-You have achieved an incredible feat.
– The reward increased by 100,000 points.
A brilliant system message appeared before Se-un’s eyes.
One hundred thousand points. It was half of the total merit points Seun had accumulated so far.
-Many constellations associated with magic are interested in you.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, has blocked all communications from constellations of lower rank than itself.
Naturally, the constellations that were interested in Seun’s magical talents focused their attention on him. However, most of the communication was blocked due to Mammon’s treasure.
But this time, there was something different.
-The constellation, ‘Fifth Day’ looks at you with a beautiful smile.
An entity whose communication cannot be blocked by Mammon’s power or treasure.
Constellation, fifth day.
She is the leader of the Valkyries, the female warriors who serve Odin, and a witch with outstanding skills who teaches magic to Odin.
It was the appearance of Freya, the goddess of love and beauty.
‘The attention of the highest constellation is already here.’
Freya is one of the main goddesses who rules Asgard along with Odin.
As such, her rank was in no way inferior to that of Mamon, the demon of greed.
Normally, the interest of this type of constellation comes to players who have proven their talent and skill towards the end of the tutorial.
No, it is known that only a very small number of them are chosen by the highest constellation.
Such a constellation interfered with Seun in only the second chapter of the tutorial, and even that despite Mamon’s interference.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, points to Valhalla with its sharp beak, asking what is happening.
-Constellation, ‘Fifth Day’ ignores the interference of other constellations with an unknown smile.
‘Well, Freya’s magical skills are top-notch even among all the gods.’
It was natural that Seun would take interest in the third circle that was opened in the tutorial.
However, I was a little worried because of the two demons who were already looking at Seun.
Fortunately, she only looked at Seun with silence and a smile. She didn’t show any interference.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ warns that it will not leave things alone if anyone takes interest in what is its own.
-Constellation, ‘Fifth Day’ still ignores the interference of other constellations.
-The feathers of the constellation, the ‘Bowed Crow’, tremble.
A confrontation between good and evil gods.
It was dizzying to see Se-Woon.
‘Still, it’s fortunate that my opponent is Freya.’
Freya, with her gentle personality, would not necessarily create discord.
If it were another god, it is unknown how he would react to Mammon’s attitude.
‘Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’
But nothing would change even if Freya looked at it. Seun just had to grow by finding the hidden pieces of the tutorial as he had done so far.
Moreover, in order to prevent the war between the two gods, it was necessary to become friendly with not only evil gods like Mammon, but also good gods like Freya.
Seun turned around, lightly rotating the newly created third circle. He had obtained everything he could from the goblin village, so he intended to return to the people.
But, through the still burning village, a small movement was felt. And it wasn’t just one or two, it was almost ten.
It would have been worth taking up arms right away, but Se-un didn’t do so. That’s because they were the ones Se-un had saved in the first place.
“Father, the village… … .”
“How on earth did you do that?”
“There you are!”
People who were locked up in the village prison. Seun had cleverly placed the mana stones so that they would not cause any damage to the prison.
However, even if the explosion did not directly affect anyone, if they were unlucky there could have been casualties, but fortunately, aside from a little charring of their skin, no one seemed to have suffered any major damage.
“thank you!”
“I will never forget this favor!”
“Sob, I really. Sob, I thought I would be helplessly eaten by goblins. I really. Sob! Thank you!”
People have been sending their thanks to Seun.
At this time, Se-Woon fell into deep thought for a moment.
‘Should I take you?’
Even though he ended up saving them, Se-Woon is not a hero.
I had no intention of returning and taking responsibility for them, just as I had for the people in the camp.
But if we were to leave them behind, that would be no different from killing them again.
At that moment when I was thinking like that, a man who seemed to be the leader of the group walked forward.
“I know what you are worried about. We have no intention of holding back our benefactor. From now on, we will somehow reach our destination on our own.”
The man’s expression was firm. Although others also seemed anxious, his eyes seemed deeply determined.
If it were someone else, they might have clung to Se-un, asking him to put down his luggage so that he could save them from the water, but these people had accepted the tutorial and were ready to live their lives.
‘Well, they’re all probably people who survived through the first chapter of the tutorial.’
Since you’ve made it through the first chapter of the tutorial, your skills are guaranteed.
Thanks to their gazes, Se-Woon’s thoughts, which had been endlessly negative, became positive.
“I have no intention of protecting you. If you follow me, you will have to be more determined than you are now.”
“… … !”
“You’ll have to move quickly to cover the distance. You’ll have to walk non-stop for at least half a day, so be strong.”
“Go, thank you!”
“thank you!”
Seun took out a few food items that the goblin had been keeping from his subspace pocket and handed them over to the people.
Soon after, all traces of life were completely gone from the burning goblin village.
* * *
Meanwhile, Se-un’s colleagues were advancing forward following the direction of the system under Yu Seo-ah’s instructions.
Park Jeong-pil actively scouted while riding a skeleton, and since no monsters appeared after the goblins, there was no impediment to the march.
Meanwhile, Yoo Seo-ah approached the carriage in the back row and spoke to Kang Han-cheol.
“Are you okay? If it’s too hard, you can take a break or we can all push together… … .”
“This is also a form of training. There is no problem.”
“You’ve gotten incredibly strong. Oh, of course, Hancheol was strong from the beginning.”
“You must have gotten stronger too. And you’re nothing compared to Blood Wolf.”
“Seun-ssi… … how should I put it, he feels unapproachable.”
Kang Hyeon-cheol was leading the carriage in place of the skeleton.
That would be the case, even though one skeleton was being handled by Baekhyun, the other one was being moved by Seun’s mana.
That’s why, after Seun chased the goblin, not long after, Seun’s skeleton lost its strength and collapsed, and strong iron took its place.
Well, among the people, Kang Han-cheol was the only one who could pull a carriage alone.
Besides, he himself is pulling a carriage out of charity, saying that his body is stiff.
The word training is not a lie.
-The constellation, ‘The Old Man Riding the Crocodile’, instructs the contractor to put more strength into his steps.
In fact, he was moving his body according to the directions of the constellations.
I don’t know if it was because of that, but wherever Kang-cheol stepped, his footprints were left indented and showed off his presence.
“Mr. Se-un, are you okay?”
“As I said before, he is not weak. I am sure he will return much stronger than before.”
“I can’t imagine getting stronger there.”
Yu Seo-ah smiled faintly.
As we talked like this, I felt a little bit relieved.
In this place where everyone believed in and followed her, the only people that Yu Seo-ah could talk to with ease were Se-woon and Kang Han-cheol.
For this moment only, I could relax.
At that moment, a familiar skeleton came running quickly from afar.
It was Park Jeong-pil who had returned from a reconnaissance mission as usual.
However, his condition did not seem to be very good.
“Whew!”
“Mr. Jeongpil!”
As soon as he arrived at his seat, Park Jeong-pil threw up everything he had eaten with a pale face.
Seun’s Camp. No, now that we’ve left the stronghold, it would be more appropriate to call it a ‘clan’.
Anyway, Lee Ha-neul, Marbas’ contractor and the only one in the clan who acts as a healer, ran forward and checked on Park Jeong-pil’s condition.
Soon, her impression solidified, and she used the power she received from the constellation to treat Park Jeong-pil and explained the symptoms to Yoo Seo-ah.
“… … It’s poison.”
“Poison? No way, goblins again!”
“No. There is no visible trauma. It is not certain, but it is highly likely that the infection was respiratory.”
As he spoke up to this point, Lee Ha-neul’s face turned pale for a moment.
Infection due to respiratory tract.
If so, it means that there is poison distributed in the air.
Looking at Park Jeong-pil’s condition, it seemed like he was slowly becoming infected with poison rather than suffering from an acute infection.
then.
“Everyone, wet a cloth and cover your nose and mouth! There is poison in the air!”
“Oh, in the air?”
For some reason, the sunlight had been getting cloudy recently. It seemed like it wasn’t clouds, but a hazy, poisonous fog was blocking the sunlight.
People desperately tried to block the airway, but it was already too late.
Although not as severe as Park Jeong-pil’s, bad symptoms were appearing in people’s bodies.
“Marbas!”
Then, Lee Ha-neul urgently called out to his constellation, Marbas.
– The constellation, ‘Bloody Lion’, announces that it is time to make a choice, as there are too many patients.
The constellations were also shaking their heads.
Even though he had the attention of the constellations, there was a limit to the power that Lee Ha-neul could accept and use, so he could not treat all the patients in this place.
Retreating would be the best course of action, but given the circumstances, only half of the people would survive until they got out of the poisonous fog.
closely!
Lee Ha-neul clenched his fist tightly.
I thought I was finally able to care for people as a proper therapist, but then this happened.
At this moment, a man came to her mind.
When the first casualties occurred, when there were the most casualties, the man who appeared without a trace, treated people, and gave her will.
Is that why?
“I didn’t know it would come this far already.”
Somehow, I thought I could hear his voice.
Phew!
“Bar, wind?”
A cool breeze blew around the people. The suffocating poisonous fog cleared away, and the dim sunlight began to shine brightly.
And behind him stood a man in red armor and a gray cloak.
“come!”
“Coolook! It’s my brother… … .”
A player who is now more familiar to people by the nickname Blood Wolf.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Breeze ]
– One of the most basic wind magic used in the Green Tower. It is a magic that creates a light breeze, and is mainly used as a living magic rather than an attack magic.
It was the appearance of Seun.
