Chapter 73
Chapter 73 – Purple Star (3)
Iron f*ck.
Everywhere I stepped, water splashed whenever I walked due to the wet wind.
The peculiar smell of the disgusting sewage plagues the sense of smell.
When dirty water splashed on his school uniform, he got angry at the moment, but that was only for a moment.
Because this is a space that I have been indebted to before, and a space that I will be indebted to again from now on.
In fact, we are already beholden to real-time.
The small purple star that rotates inside its heart is spinning, consuming magic around it as it sees fit and growing in size.
Yes, this is the [Tomb of the Young Mage] That I came to when I was not long after I became possessed.
As magic evolved unexpectedly, the amount of magic decreased greatly.

[It is weakly bound with Kania.]
The amount of mana was also reduced to an absurd level, and blood magic disappeared as it was completely merged with mana.
It was fortunate that the stats rose as the mana dwelled in the body and raised the level of the body, but only 1 mana was left and it was consumed.
Even if my physical abilities improved, I thought that there was nothing I could do without magical power.
Since we just got out of the pass and it’s annoying to come out again next time, we decided to take this opportunity to eat.
The purple star has an exceptional speed at which it absorbs mana, so even though it hasn’t been long since it’s been here, its stats have already risen by two.
Compared to the amount absorbed, the increased magic power was small, but the quality of the magic power was on a different level.
As I walked, I saw the remains of the golems I had fought with before.
I realized this while examining the remains of the golem, soaked in sentimentality for no reason.
“… I wasn’t using a flashlight.”
I forgot about it because it was so clearly visible, but this place is in a dark sewer where no light shines.
Maybe… I wonder if it evolved toward the senses when mana dwells in the body.
First of all, it’s a purple light.
From noble mtl dot com
Maybe the [Sixth sense] Has evolved a notch.
Anyway, it’s a positive change.
Now you can fight in the dark without the help of light.
I went over the remains of the earth golem and into the depths of the sewers.
No matter what anyone says, the place where magic is strongest is probably the place where the magician’s essence was, that is, the secret laboratory of the young wizard.
Without hesitation, I walked past the dusty lab and down the stairs where the bookshelf used to be.
It took me a long time to go down the stairs carefully, but now I don’t have to.
I know that there are no traps here, and I can see clearly even without light, so I don’t have to trip.
Tramping down, showing no signs of being cautious, I arrived at the secret laboratory I had come from before.
A space that is still full of dust and smells musty.
There’s no way anyone would have come, but he looked around as if to check it out, stopped his gaze at the corner of the lab where he had picked up the Shinam Sword, and licked his lips at bitterness.
I took out the Sinam Sword from the subspace bracelet, still in its sheath.
I took the sword out of the scabbard…… A shattered blade appeared.
It looks like it was cut off leaving only about a third of its original length.
If it was simply broken in two, I would have taken the rest, but unfortunately, it was impossible to keep it because the top was completely broken into dozens of pieces and spread all over the place.
I put the sword back into the scabbard and carefully set it back where it was.
Then, with a slightly solemn mind, he meditated in silence for a while and chanted quietly.
“I’m sorry.”
The swift sword was probably the young wizard’s finest work.
It was clear that even if it wasn’t the best work, it was a cherished item, seeing as it was kept by my side until the last moment.
Previously, I thought it would be better for the living to use it than for the dead to have it, but…….
Still, the young wizard felt sorry for being shattered when he returned.
Carefully stroked the scabbard of the Shinam Sword.
“Thank you so much.”
Sinam Sword has been active as more than just a sword.
In a way, it might not be an exaggeration to say that the reason I survived until now is purely thanks to the Shinam Sword.
The imprint of speed always did its part in an emergency, and the imprint of darkness, which I think Dina must have engraved, greatly strengthened my strength.
It will be difficult to get a sword this good anywhere in the future.
I’m as lucky as I am, so I don’t know.
This is enough to be soaked in emotions.
If you want to return to the academy within today, you must quickly absorb all of your mana and return.
I sat cross-legged in my seat.
Actually, sitting cross-legged doesn’t make anything better, but wouldn’t it improve concentration?
In martial arts novels, it’s not like you’re sitting cross-legged for nothing.
Certainly, sitting cross-legged can help you concentrate a little better.
Should I say that my mind becomes calmer?
It was only when I closed my eyes that the world turned black.
In the black world, the only thing left is a small purple star nestled in the heart.
Consciously, I rotated the purple star in place.
It’s a sensation I’m not used to yet, so I rotate it carefully and slowly.
The mana that should have filled the surroundings is being sucked in little by little.
I got used to the purple star a little more and increased the rotation speed.
Soon after, the purple star made a loud noise and began to devour the magical powers around it.
Magical powers rush into the purple star as if responding to it.
My face frowned as I felt a tingling sensation and pain, as if my heart were pulsating with electricity.
I can’t handle the speed with which the mana rushes in.
Even if it’s water, if you drink it hastily, it will go over your prayers and afflict people.
If the rate at which mana is absorbed cannot be reduced, the heart will not be able to withstand it and may explode.
Even so, if you stop right away, you may be harmed in reverse.
You have to slow down.
Slowly, like stepping on the brakes on a bicycle, I slowed down.
As if a purple star, which is still difficult to completely control, sheds purple light here and there as if rebelling.
As if holding discipline, the leaked rays of light were pushed back into the purple star.
Of course, I didn’t forget to slow down a little bit.
After wrestling with the purple star for a while, the purple star slowed down to a stable level.
When I pushed all the leaking rays of light back in, the size of the star, which had been the size of a millet, had grown considerably.
For some reason, I didn’t think the stars would grow bigger here, but there’s still a lot of magic left in the [Tomb of the Young Wizard], And I feel like I can absorb more magic too.
With that thought in mind, when the purple star, which had stopped for a moment, started spinning again, something surprising happened.
The magical powers that had been flocking to my heart this time began to gather around it, not the purple star.
The small mass of magical energy created by combining magical powers revolved around it as if resonating with a purple star.
It rotates faster and faster, then changes shape and gradually turns into a small purple star.
It seems that there is no more magic power left in the [Tomb of the Young Mage], So I stopped absorbing magic and opened my eyes.
The corner of the mouth caught on the ear at the unexpected achievement.
Near the enlarged purple star, a new small purple star was spinning around.
“It’s two stars.”
This part is well described in [Oeyeongdoe].
The magical power of warriors, paladins, and saints who have been blessed by the stars is set in the form of stars, unlike other people.
And as it grows, the number of stars gradually increases.
One star with one star from 1 to 10 for magic stats.
From 11 to 20, two stars of the opposite s*x.
From 21 to 30, Samsung 三星.
From 31 to 40 are the four stars.
Five stars from 41 to 50.
Classified in this way.
However, reaching the 5th star alone cannot defeat the demon king.
Because the maximum stats of the Demon Lord are 60, unlike humans whose maximum stats are 50.
Therefore, the goddess allowed the magic stats of the three people blessed by the stars to exceed 50 and reach 60.
When that happens and your magic power reaches 60.
Four purple stars revolving around the purple star in the center rotate at a very high speed, making them appear as one star again.
This stage is called the polar star.
I was worried because I didn’t accept the blessing of the stars as it was and forcibly melted it into my magical power, but it seemed like it was a useless worry.
Two large and small purple stars were shining brightly in my heart.
Before I knew it, my body was covered with sweat.
In the middle, when he was absorbing mana too quickly, there must have been a shock, but blood was flowing from his mouth.
But it was so light that I could easily ignore it.
