A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension - Chapter 53



Episode 53

“The reason you can continue to use the magic sword is because of the difference in how it works. Talismans and magic scrolls use the magician’s source mana to activate magic. But the magic sword consumes the magic stone’s mana and the user’s willpower.

All that the magician’s source mana does is to activate the magic formula engraved on the demonic sword using external mana and psychological power. That’s why you can use it continuously without consuming source mana.

One thing to be aware of is that the source mana stored in the demonic sword gradually disappears over time. It takes a long time before it loses its function, so it’s not something to worry about too much.”

According to Dariel, it means that there is no problem with using the magic sword.

In the future, there was no reason to regret the lack of attack power.

“There’s such a difference. Then I’ll ask you a few more questions. Earlier, you said only advanced talisman was a three-element attack magic. Can you hear more about that part?”

Because wizards were so closed-minded, it was difficult for ordinary people to obtain information about magic.

I heard the story coming and going, but there was no way to confirm whether it was true.

I wanted to take this opportunity to find out exactly what a wizard was.

“It’s a bit complicated about attributes. First of all, a wizard’s attributes depend on the person’s innate temperament. The reason for this is that wizards imprint mana and psychic methods on trees. You know what, and it’s also on the border between body and soul.

In any case, in the process of imprinting and activating the mana mental method, Baek is stimulated and his natural temperament is strongly expressed. Generally, two or three temperaments stand out, which determines the attributes a wizard can handle.

For example, even the fire attribute has various temperaments. Both passionate and hot-tempered people belong to the fire attribute temperament. If you dig a little deeper…”

Dariel constantly poured out new stories.

It was an amount of information that would be difficult to digest at once if the memory had not improved.

To sum up the point, the mage has the same number of attributes as his temperament, and he can easily handle any number of attributes.

And he didn’t have much trouble dealing with one more attribute besides his own.

However, dealing with more than two additional properties required a lot of effort.

It is as if a person with a naturally calm personality plays a well-rounded person.

However, changing your innate temperament is difficult unless you have attained enlightenment enough to undergo a major change in your life.

As a result, the magic properties commonly used were at most 5 properties.

“If you happen to meet a wizard who handles eight attributes, you’d better be careful. Having multiple temperaments means that there’s a high probability that you’ll be insane.

“I understand. But it must be really difficult to train a mage. It means you have to constantly work hard to deal with multiple attributes. You’re really great.”

No matter how many compliments you hear, you never get tired of it.

The corners of Dariel’s mouth went up slightly.

“Well, to become a wizard, it’s natural to put in that much effort.”

I still have a lot to ask.

I continued to ask questions with a mixture of praise and admiration.

I talked to Dariel for about an hour while teasing him and comforting him.

I was able to relieve my curiosity about the wizard to some extent.

‘I have an outline of what kind of job it is. I think that’s enough of the question.’

As the praise and response continued, Dariel became calm.

Further conversation seemed difficult.

If you pay more, the story will be different, but I decided that the information I have obtained is sufficient for now.

And as expected, the first word came out of Dariel’s mouth.

“These ideals are things that you don’t even need to know unless you’re a wizard. Let’s talk about this.”

Dariel was clearly exhausted by the continued questioning.

“Yes, I’ve heard your explanation well. I’d like to make one last suggestion.”

My business is not over yet.

“What suggestions?”

“Could I learn the mana simbeop for wizards? I’ll pay for it properly.”

At my words, Dariel stared at me like a mute who had eaten honey.

“Can’t I?”

“No, that’s not it. Regardless of whether it’s good or bad, you’re safe, right?”

“yes that’s right.”

Dariel narrowed his eyes and continued.

“Where do you want to learn how to use mana for warriors? Do you want to challenge yourself to become a magic warrior?”

“I’m not going to call it a challenge. The notoriety of magic warriors has to be so high. So, I was wondering what the hell was going on.”

“If you are the lowest level, you can pass it on. Is it really okay? You won’t be able to use it anyway even if you learn it. It’s just wasting money.”

Dariel was certainly not a merchant.

“I still want to experience it once.”

“If that’s the case. Thanks to you, I’ll be able to earn half a year’s worth today. The transfer fee is 30 gold coins.”

After a while, after counting the gold coins, Dariel said.

“Then I’m going to start. Can you give me your hand? Take off your gloves.”

He took off his left glove and held out his hand on the table.

“Huh? For a samurai, your hands are pretty. Ah! Did you train after reaching the proficiency level? For some reason, you say you spend money easily, so you’re an aristocrat. But how did you end up in such a shabby place?”

High-ranking nobles who do not go to the battlefield train after strengthening their bodies with mana to improve their bodies.

That way, he could hone his weapon skills without a single callus on his hands.

“I am not noble.”

“Really? Well, it would be rude to ask the person who even wore the helmet about his identity. I understand that each person has their own circumstances.”

Dariel seemed convinced that I was a nobleman.

However, his attitude did not change.

Skilled wizards were those who had such abilities.

“It’s not like that. Anyway, let’s start.”

“Okay. I’ve warned you. You’re just wasting money.”

Dariel’s hand covered the back of mine.

Soon after, the mana that came in through his hands flowed into the sea through his shoulders and neck.

Time passed.

After receiving the mana simbeop, he repeated drawing on the image several times.

“Please succeed this time.”

After failing to imprint over and over again, Dariel spoke in a weary voice.

Again, several challenges are repeated.

After a series of attempts, I was finally able to draw the structure of the mana mental method that came to my mind at once.

At that moment, I felt the mana simbeop imprinted on my soul, and the speed of the mana flowing into the palace doubled.

However, a strange thing happened.

Mana, which would have flowed into the sea before, began to fluctuate up and down while being trapped in the strong palace.

‘This seems to be the conflict between mana and simbeop.’

Now it’s time to check if you can control the mana simbeop.

Just like when activating the mana mental method, he put his will into it and raised his mental strength.

Then, the mana that stayed in the river palace unraveled like a thread and split into two branches, moving toward Kihae and Suhae.

However, when comparing the amount of mana that flowed into the sea, it was only about one-third of the original amount.

‘It seems like something is going on. Shall we operate it with full power?’

When Mana Psychic is maximally activated, the mana absorption rate increases up to 8 times.

At the same time as I thought, I raised my heart.

The results were disappointing.

When the mana simbeop was activated, the mana in the strong palace flowed into the sea and the sea at a faster rate.

The problem was that the amount of mana released from the longbow decreased in proportion to the speed of movement of mana.

In conclusion, the amount of mana absorbed was the same as before activating the mana psychic method.

Based on this, I calculated the mana absorption rate.

As a result of the calculation, I could understand why people do not double-engrave.

‘The efficiency is really the worst.’

The mana absorption rate was less than 5% of the previous level.

This was also possible because I controlled part of the mana simbeop.

‘This is not something that can be solved even if I learn the highest level of mana simbeop.’

The principle of increasing the absorption rate of the mana simbeop is to absorb the mana in the longbow more quickly.

However, as the absorption speed increased, the amount of mana released from the longbow decreased, so the result was obvious even without testing.

‘Still, there is hope.’

Currently, the percentage of controllable mana psychics is about one-third of the total.

This means that if the mental power becomes three times stronger, it can control the whole thing.

No matter how many times you multiply 0, the answer is 0.

If the absorption rate was increased after completely controlling the mana simbeop, it would be possible to practice without collision.

‘But this is just my guess. And I’m the only one who can confirm it.’

The level of mana is the end of the master.

Since you don’t know the world, you can’t ignore the possibility that there is a higher realm that you don’t know about.

However, putting aside such a leaping assumption, the generally known level of mana was the end of the master.

That means that only the clergy are more powerful than the Master.

However, as much as the cleric received psychological power through Teres’s terminal, he did not even know how much psychological power was used to control mana.

This had already been confirmed in the temple.

‘I don’t think there’s any point in thinking about it anymore.’

I stopped thinking and opened my eyes.

I saw Dariel with half-closed eyes.

“It’s not easy either.”

“Haa. Is it finally a success?”

“Yes. Thanks.”

‘Has it been about seven hours?’

The mana simbeop for magicians was two-sided, not one-sided, unlike the martial arts.

While the mana sensitivity increased as you climbed the skill level, the level was only at the lowest level based on the skill level.

Still, I was able to succeed in imprinting three times faster than before.

“No, when I checked my mana, I found that I was skilled. So, you’re saying that my mana response was worse before I reached the skill. How did you become a skilled practitioner with this kind of talent? It’s really a level that I have to study. Did you take any elixir? “

Dariel casually said that if he had been in his previous life, he would be sued for defamation based on fact.

“If you work hard, you can do anything. Then I’m done. It was a good time.”

“Hmm. It’s definitely a gain, but I feel like I’ve lost something. Next time, come and sell me something.”

“Yes. Good job.”

As I left the store, I saw the white moon hanging in the evening sky.

After busily moving, I was able to solve all the questions I had had throughout the trip.

All that remains is to obtain Grant’s mana simbeop and become a master.

After that, I decided to check again if I could become a magician.

***

A huge mage tower located near the capital.

In the office on the top floor of the magic tower, a man in a robe was checking documents.

Judging by the wrinkles on his face, the man seemed past middle age.

Red hair, a wild appearance, and a dignified style that comes from age were added to it, and I felt a charm that anyone could fall for.

The man raised his right hand and brushed his hair.

Inside the sleeves embroidered with gold thread, a bracelet made of high-grade talisman was emitting a soft white glow.

“There must have been a lot of problems while I was gone. Did you handle the work of the zodiac mage lord?”

“Yes, Tower Lord. I sent the arms of my dearest son to be cut off. A reply is expected to come soon.”

The woman standing in front of the desk answered the man’s question.

“Take care of that matter in consultation with the sub-top owner. Is there anything else I need to know?”

“I’m sorry to tell you, but the youngest boy has passed away.”

At that moment, the man’s eyebrows twitched.

In an instant, the indifferent eyes turned sharp like those of an old tiger.

“Foolish bastard. Just to face a death like that.”

The man thought for a moment and then continued.

“So, who is he?”

“I haven’t investigated yet because I haven’t reported it to the Tower Lord.”

“Yes. That’s what I ordered.”

The man took another breath and spoke.

“He’s a bastard, but as a father, you have to do your last duty. Take responsibility and find out. Who killed Jerome?”

“I’ll follow your orders.”
