Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

When all five magic circles were destroyed, the flow of mana that had been staining the floor black stopped.

When there is no more place to flow, it stops moving.

However, it did not flow, and the black mana overflowed and became thicker and thicker.

It’s so fast that you can feel the difference even if you look at it for a while.

Seeing this, Sisala’s face hardened.

“Mana doesn’t fade. No, on the contrary, the concentration is getting thicker… It seems that there is a separate place where this black mana is generated.”

As soon as Sisala saw the phenomenon, he immediately pinpointed its meaning.

It was an insight worthy of a yellow rank wizard in El Tomagia.

“What we destroyed was the part that was responsible for circulating and activating the generated mana. That’s why the flow of mana rushed towards the magic circle in a different direction every time one was destroyed.”

“then… It’s a big deal!”

After thinking for a moment, Sisala turned white and squealed.

“Even when it was circulating, it looked like this, but if you break the cycle, the continuously generated power will accumulate, and the incomplete magic circle that accumulated power in that way… … !”

“I know. As soon as it is created, it collects, and when the pressure reaches its limit, it may explode.”

Sisala opened her mouth like a crucian carp and spat out words.

“Wow, what are you thinking! No, of course I have an idea! This is really too dangerous. I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but it’s reckless. If the circulation of such a large magic circle is not tangled and completely cut off, then we are now in a bomb that may explode at any moment!”

She’s right.

The moment all five magic circles are destroyed, this dungeon literally turns into a time bomb.

If the time limit is exceeded, it will not be circulated and the accumulated mana will overflow, and even if it does not explode and die, it will be polluted by unclean energy and die.

At first glance, a gimmick that seems to have no such irrationality as irrationality.

But in fact, the law of destruction itself was not difficult at all and was simple.

If you want to break through head-on, you have to go to the center and clear the dungeon within the time limit, and if that doesn’t work, you can run away and come back.

The key is ‘road’ and ‘time’.

Can you find the way to the center in time?

Can you memorize the way out and escape in time?

‘Escape is the safest way… If you do that, the entire Tanumine Valley will be polluted. Then your score will be reduced considerably.’

Even if it is the same hidden dungeon, if the attack process is different, the reward you receive will also be different.

If he hadn’t reached his target level, he would have chosen the safe way, but since he passed level 30, there was no reason not to aim for the best results.

But before that, there were issues to be dealt with.

‘I can’t let him help with such a dangerous thing.’

Dojin looked at Sisala and said.

“Sisala, the way out. Do you remember?”

“Absolutely! Even though magic talent is lacking, one memory is good. Follow me!”

Sisala, who had been stomping her feet, grabbed Dojin’s hand and started guiding her along the way.

As she herself said, she had a really good memory, so she could retrace the complicated roads and find the exit without getting lost.

“there! Those stairs!”

Sisala found the stairs and ran with a bright face.

Even so, he held Dojin’s hand tightly until the end and did not let go.

But by the time I had almost climbed the stairs.

Took.

Dojin pushed her hand away.

And pushed her out of the dungeon.

“uh?”

Unlike Dojin, Sisala, who has an average wizard’s sense of balance, stumbled and fell.

“Sorry. We can’t just leave the runaway magic circle like this.”

“What cow is that-”

Sisala’s eyes filled with excitement as she instantly grasped the situation and looked back.

However, Dojin’s hand moved one step faster than that.

In his hand, he held an iron, the key to the dungeon.

Kurleung.

The dungeon entrance closes in an instant.

[Sissala Omen’s favorability has decreased by 3 points to 27.]

[Sissala Omen’s favorability has decreased by 3 points to 24.]

[Sissala Omen’s favorability has decreased by 1 point to 23.]

‘… … .’

Dojin smiled bitterly at the bloody message.

Even though there was no way to hear the sound being completely blocked, it seemed that an angry cry could be heard through the closed wall.

coo goo-

No, I actually heard it.

A weak vibration was transmitted, as if some kind of magic had been cast.

Even so, the magic of a 4-star wizard would never be able to pierce it.

‘It’s unfortunate that I like it, but it can’t be helped.’

Up to this point, Sisala was in little danger of dying. But not from now on.

Unlike the user, Do-jin knew very well that NPCs were not free from death, and that he was not free from the death of NPCs.

Because I learned through not very pleasant experiences.

“then… Let’s try to solve it quickly.”

After brushing off the bitter memories, Do-jin turned around and headed to the center of the workshop.

There was no shortage of time.

The time limit was given quite generously, and it was also because we moved so quickly.

“Originally, it was like this.”

The place that had been open in my previous life was now hidden behind a sturdy stone gate.

Before opening the door, Dojin took out holy water and drank it.

I drank regularly during my stay in the dungeon, but now is the time to refill all the doping I can.

“Then let’s go.”

what to do anyway.

Do-jin, who was about to collide immediately without wasting time, hesitated.

[Sissala Omen’s affinity has increased by 10 points to 33.]

It was because a message popped up saying that Sisala’s favorability rating, which had been declining, had risen to a higher level than before.

I would have been very angry. For what reason did the sensitivity rise?

Sometimes Dojin had a hard time understanding the favorability system.

Anyway, what went down is up, so that’s a good thing.

Trying to fully grasp the system that is intertwined with the mind of the LOST NPC, which is more like a human than a human, will only cause headaches.

‘Let’s focus on the work in front of us for now.’

Dojin once again used the dungeon key.

A large stone gate opened with a groan.

It wasn’t even fully open, but thick black smoke flowed through the crack.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Mana that was created and pooled in the central magic circle.

‘As expected, if the level was a bit low, I would have died without even trying.’

Intelligence is a stat that also affects magic resistance.

The degree of contamination and concentration was such that he would not have been able to resist if he hadn’t raised his level and increased his intelligence.

‘The visual is amazing.’

When the door opened wide, the sight that opened my eyes was amazing.

Human hearts were placed in places in the magic circle engraved with so many stars that it was incomparable to other magic circles that had been destroyed.

The heart, which was specially treated to prevent decay, looked like a plastic model, but it was definitely the heart of a person who killed and pulled out a real person.

And the quack magician’s magic circle beneath the heart continued to amplify the grudges of the victims, absorbing pure mana and replacing it with mana tainted by the grudge and spitting it out.

“… To be honest, it seems a little tight. What should I do anyway?”

It was the first tense moment since returning.

so it’s more exciting

The feeling of all kinds of hormones being pumped out of the brain that recognized the crisis.

Do-jin emitted golden mana in a sense of exhilaration that felt familiar and a little strange at the same time.

《The Book of Truth》

Unfold yourself as a book that records the truth.

Ugh.

demonstrated dynamism.

The target is bottles filled with holy water poured out of the inventory.

Dojin put them together and hit the floor.

It broke at once and flooded the surroundings with a large amount of water.

The central magic circle began to wriggle in response to the mana of the approaching batter and the sacred energy of the holy water.

Yes, it wriggles like a creature.

Dark energy gathers thickly, reproducing the appearance of grudge.

-help me!

grievous deep sound.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

My heart races just by listening to it, and my concentration is about to be disturbed.

However, if it collapsed here, the hidden dungeon boss would be born as it is, and then stopping the runaway magic circle in time would fail.

So, Do-jin opened his eyes wide and corrected the magic circuit that was about to run amok.

And he pursed his lips.

To make the best move you can take now.

《Ice Arrow》

It was for this moment that Dojin had saved the holy water and sprinkled it all around him.

To change ordinary 1-star attack type freezing magic into something unusual.

Zeng.

The holy water that soaked the floor rose and turned into arrows.

nettle.

Without a need to save, Dojin immediately shot an ice arrow.

A magic barrier tainted with grudge that could not have been pierced with an ordinary ice arrow.

However, the arrows made of holy water were different.

Perong.

Although it was broken, it damaged the barrier and at least fragments fell inside the magic circle.

Suffice.

I’ve brought plenty of materials to make arrows.

nettle. nettle. nettle.

Do-jin whipped the magic circuit and continuously made and shot ice arrows.

-die! you die too!

The ‘Child of Resentment’ who was prevented from being born cries out.

However, Dojin did not stop.

Three, five, six ice arrows were fired in succession.

Puff puff puff.

Whoops.

The half-finished boss’s arm moved and aimed at Dojin.

Black grips stretched out and rushed like whips.

Dojin’s eyes moved.

The ice arrow that changed its target aimed at the guy’s arm.

puffer pung.

3 bullets stick to one point.

His black arm bent, and Do-jin ducked his head to avoid the attack.

At the same time, Do-jin’s follow-up hit finally pierced the barrier in the center that had faded.

However, at that point, Dojin’s mana was also on the verge of revealing the bottom.

It was because the boss monster was too tough than I thought.

‘There are a lot of things I can shoot forward, but three shots are the limit.’

If it is delayed even by one second, the breached defense will be restored, and then the attack will fail.

With 3 arrows, I had to make a decision at this moment.

Is it possible? It is possible.

Based on the information contained in the visual field, the experience, not the brain, produced the result.

nettle.

Dojin’s arrows flew by instinct.

The target was not the boss monster, but the magic circle itself.

Three ice arrows made of holy water simultaneously cut off the vital points of the magic circle, the strokes responsible for the circulation of mana, and blocked the dots.

It was a magic blow that replaced the mana wedge with an ice arrow.

As a result.

-Kkeeweaek!

The grudge child let out a scream like a strangled child.

Then it expands, contracts, expands, and repeats.

As a result, the contaminated mana that was filling the center of the workshop also rampaged.

“Ugh!”

Even Do-jin, who was exposed to the power of the angry waves, was not safe.

‘I was too complacent… … !’

It was because he did not predict that the resistance would be so severe in the process of destroying the magic circle.

If I had any mana left, how would I survive… … .

[The 「Mana Aptitude」 trait has been created.]

A line of message that popped up at the moment I was about to lose my mind.

Immediately after changing jobs, Dojin’s magic circuit, which had been trained in the pure mana of the Manli Library, became more robust with intense stimulation as a trigger, and its characteristics bloomed.

As the magic circuit expanded and became stronger, magic resistance also increased, and a little bit of extra mana was created.

Do-jin squeezed that mana up and sprayed the holy water on the floor, and covered it with “light”.

The light sphere floated in the water fog created a breathing space by resisting the unclean mana even slightly, and Do-jin looked at the children of resentment that were dying in it and the hearts of the victims that were rotting in an instant.
