Episode 32
After closing the gate, I returned straight home.
I returned to my own room after two weeks.
As soon as I opened the door, I rushed to the bed.
‘Let’s get some rest today.’
Mental and physical fatigue sets in.
I did not reject that energy but accepted it.
In the morning, I headed straight to the Yongsan branch of the Interstellar Union.
Martin led me into the office without any embarrassment, as if he had already been waiting for me to come.
“I heard you’re climbing the tower.”
“I’ve already heard it, so it’ll be quick.”
“I have narrowed down the supply items.”
“already?”
“A competent partner is able to think ahead.”
I checked the supply details.
Subspace Pouch [500kg] x 1
Advanced Healing Potion x 5
Intermediate Healing Potion x 20
Detox Potion x 5
Holy Water x 10
Simple tent x 3
Protective Crystal x 5
Stealth Camouflage X 5
Combat rations x 100
“Indeed. The preparations are thorough.”
“Hehe. Who am I? I didn’t win the position of branch leader through poker.”
“How much does it cost?”
“It cost a little over 1 billion.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“Why are players like this? How much is it at a discounted price?”
“About 700 million won.”
“Subtract from the settlement amount I will receive.”
“This time, the union would like to provide support.”
“If I take anything from you, I won’t be able to sleep because my bed will be disturbed.”
What kind of place is the interstellar union?
This is a place where if you invest 1, you get 2 or 3.
My relationship with the Union must always remain on equal footing.
“Is that so……
“It’s because I don’t want to be in debt.”
“Sigh… I understand.”
“And I have one more favor to ask you.”
“Just say the word.”
“Do you know anything about architecture?”
“My specialty is artifact creation, but I know the outline.”
“I need a training ground.”
“Shall I invite you to a gym near my house?”
I shook my head.
‘I need a place rich in mana.’
Martial arts training involves circulating chaotic energy throughout the body, burning off the stagnant energy, and transforming the body into a body suitable for rising martial arts.
The richer the external mana, the more stimulation is applied to the body.
When training inside the gate, the efficiency was more than twice as high as on Earth.
‘But you can’t train at the gate every time.’
Mana that is not pure compared to the higher dimensions.
The Earth’s atmosphere contains a lot of turbid energy.
But there is no way.
Because I have vast knowledge of Deimos, the fighting leader.
‘Create a training ground by applying anti-magic concentration circles.’
S-class formation, anti-magic concentration formation.
It is an arcane magic circle that is passed down only to the kings of the Tuma clan from generation to generation.
I have already used anti-magic concentration circles.
Seongcheon Jogye Gong training.
Because my magic sensitivity was low, I received help from a magic circle.
The effect was amazing.
Thanks to the densely collected mana, he was able to achieve the 1st star of Seongcheonjo’s Gyegong.
‘If you apply an anti-horsepower concentration circle, you can achieve greater efficiency than the gate.’
A semi-permanent magic circle.
Whenever I train, I activate the magic circle and it will concentrate the mana around me.
“We need an expert in architecture.”

“Please tell us your requirements and we will give you a quote.”
I have one condition required for the training center.
One explained.
A ley line that can draw mana.
Minimum area required to install a magic circle.
It was a defensive magic that could prevent surrounding intrusions.
“Hmm. I think it will cost around 7 billion won.”
“How much do I have?”
“I think it’s a little over 6 billion.
“Let’s just go ahead and put any remaining funds in my name.”
“Hehe. I could help you…
“Yeah, no.”
“It’s difficult to put up a debt. I’ll proceed as you ordered.”
“Please take care of me.”
I packed my subspace bag and got up.
All business in the Interstellar Alliance is over.
There was a lot of work to do before entering the tower.
Just as I was about to leave the door.
“Well, I have a question.”
Martin grabbed his ankle.
“What?”
“I understand that only pure humans can enter the tower without being invited.”
“yes.”
“Then how does Mincheol Hunter enter the tower?”
Martin knows my identity as the alter ego of a high-ranking spirit being.
The tower’s system is strict.
Even if you use an alter ego, you cannot gain free access to the ‘Tower’, which is only allowed to humans on Earth.
I touched my chin.
Actually, the answer was simple.
As he said, it is because I am purely ‘human’.
“Are you really curious about that?”
“Yes. Many people will be curious about that information.”
what.
It’s not that difficult.
I answered honestly.
“You just have to die.”
“••••••yes?”
“You just have to die once.”
Nothing special.
All you have to do is get stabbed by a warrior, die, and be reincarnated as a human.
I went out, leaving a confused Martin behind.
米 * *
Hankuk University Daehakro.
This is where my living room is.
Finding a room close to school
It’s natural.
Thanks to this, making an appointment was convenient.
Haverb, a famous cafe in Daehakro, Korea University
I called Verde there.
“If… No. Mincheol Hunter. It’s an honor for you to invite me.”
“Well, it’s all about glory. Let’s have a cup of coffee. This place is famous for its bubble tea.”
“But why are you drinking Americano…
“Being famous and personal taste are two different things.”
Verde.
The devil, who went by the name Jang Yong-su on Earth, smiled awkwardly and ordered coffee.
“Oh my. Look over there. He’s handsome.”
“One of them looks a little grumpy, but he’s still cool.”
The guests sitting at the table glanced this way.
“Silent Field.”
Verde spoke softly.
A whitish film surrounds a radius of about 2 meters and quickly assimilates into the surrounding landscape.
It was.
It is a barrier-type magic that prevents sound from spreading.
“Your ability to apply mana is amazing for your age.”
“Words of praise. Thank you.”
Verde smiled.
“Yuck. Don’t laugh too hard.”
The boy looked embarrassed, unable to laugh or cry.
It was very different from the monsters I knew.
This guy.
Not only does it have a lot of energy from the second year of middle school, but it is also a variant.
“Are there any additional orders?”
“Not yet. We are currently concentrating on calling the guild.”
“Ah. I was running a guild.”
“That’s right.”
Demonic Guild.
This is the means chosen by Verde to increase his power in Korea.
Although it was only recently established, the outstanding performance of guild leader Jang Yong-su (Verde)
It is an emerging powerhouse that is rapidly increasing in size thanks to its power and leadership ability.
I looked at Verde.
‘The qualifications are good, though.’
Verde is young.
In terms of humans, this is the equivalent of having just become an adult and starting social life.
The guy’s abilities, as seen through the status window, were excellent for his age.
It was not a lie to say that there was potential for development.
‘Now that I have hired him as a subordinate, I need to make him useful.’
I thought of a martial arts technique that would be helpful to Verde.
Breaking your heart (分心功).
To be exact, it is a deep attack that is closer to Taoist techniques than martial arts.
It has the effect of dividing the mind into several parts and broadening the scope of thinking.
‘I’m not an expert in dark magic.’
The Tuma clan cannot use dark magic at all.
This is because the method of operating magical power itself is completely different.
I don’t know of any dark magic that can dramatically increase Verde’s power.
Instead, what came to mind was the distraction ball.
‘If you divide your mind, you can perform calculations faster.’
The essence of magic is computation.
Quickly rearranging dark mana according to a set formula.
If you learn the split mind ball, Verde’s magic calculation speed will be several times faster than before.
“Verde. Do you trust me?”
“I have already risked my soul to serve you.”
“I swore by the instrument.”
“Can you trust me and entrust your body to me?”
“If you just say so.”
“No matter what happens from now on, don’t move.”
I placed my right hand on the top of Verde’s head.
As the Star Heavenly Force was used, the light nebula and dark nebula began to emit their respective powers.
‘You can’t use chaos on him.’
Separate the two forces that naturally try to fuse together
Therefore, only the power of the dark nebula was extracted separately.
This is an action I have become accustomed to while dealing with the Flame of the Abyss.
A black air current surrounds my right hand.
I moved the dark mana to the top of Verde’s head, where my fingertips were in contact.
Verde flinched.
In Mu Continent terms, it is called Sangdangjeon,
Dark Mana penetrated Verde’s mental world without hesitation.
“Just be patient.”
Since then, he has risen to the level of the level head of Pandemonium.
Interfering with the mental world of others is dangerous for both the user and the person involved.
I was confident.
Dark mana carves a new circuit into Verde’s mental world.
It is a path that embodies the heart and soul of Bunsimgong.
My dark mana traveled all around Verde’s mental world, or in other words, the upper level.
“This time, try using your magical power.”
Verde concentrated his mind.
Dark black mana circulates along the once paved path.
A bright light appeared in the guy’s eyes.
“This…!”
“Don’t be too surprised. Stay focused.”
“yes!”
“If you are distracted and lose focus, you will be in big trouble.”
Verde was distracted with a nervous expression.
was operated.
child.
There’s no need to be that nervous.
As a Taoist technique, Bunshimgong is very stable.
The nervous look is cute.
Phew-
After completing the one-week journey, a sigh of relief escaped Verde’s lips.
“Lord Ifrit. What is the power you gave me?!”
“It’s a division technique. It divides your mind and helps you calculate magic efficiently.
is a technique.”
“This is my first time hearing this name. I can’t believe you gave me such powerful power…!”
Verde seemed to be completely intoxicated by the efficacy of the split ball.
Multi-horsepower operation.
The speed of magic calculations can be dramatically improved by applying the split mind ball.
It is a power that can overwhelm even if you fight two demons of similar level at the same time.
“It was a bit risky to do it in a public place like a cafe.”
I chuckled.
Both of them would have been dangerous if there had been even the slightest shock from the outside.
Horsepower reflux.
In the Mu Continent, a phenomenon called a coin-fed demon would have overtaken me.
It must have been difficult for Verde to be safe as well.
When my dark mana ran rampant, it would have shaken Verde’s mental world first.
“Then shouldn’t we at least rent a business room?”
“It’s expensive.”
“You have a lot of money. Even if you don’t, I have a lot of money.”
ah.
That’s right.
As we met in Daehakro, I remembered my time as a student with no money.
“Sorry. I didn’t think of that.”
“I-ifri…!”
“And I told you not to call me Ifrit, right?”
“sorry.”
“Work hard while I’m away.
So learn it to 2 stars.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to go down to my hometown before I go to the tower.
