Chapter 218
In the past, the staff, which was a type of artifact favored by all wizards, has become an old-fashioned symbol that no one uses now with the development of technology.
It was natural.
It is basic for modern mages to fight in the forefront.
The penalty for fighting with a large and heavy load like a staff is too great.
Although the magic amplification effect was great, it didn’t mean much as long as you were fighting in the forefront.
Bondi, an artifact is a very delicate thing, so it loses its function with one small scratch.
In short, it was said that if the appearance of the staff was damaged, it would break down.
And fighting in the forefront, it was impossible not to get scratches on that big staff.
Then it breaks down and loses its function.
It turns into a wand that is useless to anyone.
That’s why most wizards came to prefer small artifacts like rings and necklaces, not wands.
It is light in weight, so it does not get in the way when fighting, and its small size makes it very unlikely to be damaged during battle.
Although the magic amplification rate was inferior to that of the staff due to its small size, even that was only around 4%.
It was only natural that staff-type artifacts would be weeded out.
That’s why, when I asked the blue mage tower master to produce an artifact, the staff said it wasn’t good.
If it wasn’t for Master’s artifact, I probably wouldn’t have had a chance to use a staff-type artifact in my life.
‘Honestly, I’m worried about this too.’
Kyle Room.
The staff used by Master boasts a considerable size.
It’s about the size of my height, so it’s about 180cm.
Among the staff, he is the type that is classified as a super-large staff.
It was not an easy task to protect a staff of this size at all times during battle.
‘Fortunately, it’s light.’
Fortunately, it is very light for its size.
I was surprised at how light it is when I first heard it.
I felt the weight of moving my staff in all directions again.
It’s also very light.
“This, as light as it is light, the strength is a little lower, right?”
Usually, things made of light materials have less strength.
Maybe this staff is like that too.
“ok? what are you talking about Caylum is getting weaker.”
Mimir, who was constantly looking for something on one of the bookshelves, glanced at me with an expression that said, “What kind of novel nonsense is that?”
“that. It’s a staff made from the leaves of Misteltein. There’s no way the intensity will go down.”
“If it’s Mistiltein, is it the Mistiltein I know?”
“uh. A branch of the mistletoe that killed God.”
“… … Was that myth true?”
“ok. Maybe it’s a little different from what you know. The legend itself about killing a god is true. Read it later if you’re curious. It could be 6 circles. All the books related to mythology must have been unlocked.”
“oh. okay? I should read it right away.”
I still feel the need to study mythology for myth magic.
Great.
“… … found.”
Meanwhile, Mimir murmured softly.
I think I finally found the book I was looking for.
“Is that a book with instructions on how to awaken Caylum?”
“uh. It’s an artifact booklet left behind by Obama.”
“As for the Artifact Booklet… … . You mean everything about the other artifacts are also written?”
“huh. that’s right. It would have been nice to find it in advance, but this book is only unlocked after the heir reaches the 6th circle… … .”
“aha. Many of the newly unlocked books are worth it.”
From books on mythology to artifact brochures.
It is a book that everyone should read.
“huh. Although the number of books unlocked is much smaller than in Circles 4 and 5, the quality and density of information is overwhelming. I recommend reading all the books that have been unlocked this time.”
“If you’re going to say that much, you should read it first.”
If it’s Mimir’s recommendation, you should definitely read it.
Of course, I would have read it without Mimir’s recommendation.
It is a sin not to read such rare books.
“Then let’s start right away. successor. Close your eyes.”
Mimir’s voice suddenly became serious.
I slowly closed my eyes.
“Concentrate your mind. Rotate all circles, including the Ring of Awakening, at maximum output.”
I closed my eyes and rotated the Infinity Circle as Mimir said.
The rotation speed of the circle is no joke.
The ring of awakening is woven into a structure that winds itself between other rings, and the processing efficiency of the circles seems to have increased.
It spins mana with a terrifying roar.
“Is that all? You can still do it faster.”
“… … more here?”
I thought this was enough.
Mimir’s thoughts are a little different.

“Think about the characteristics of the Ring of Awakening. A space that allows mana to remain in its original form. All mana within the heir’s body loses will and goes into a state of trance.”
I listened to Mimir’s words and increased my concentration.
“And if each mana loses will, it means that the amount of information or processing decreases.”
Previously, Mana thought infinitely even while spinning in circles.
I went around the circle, thinking with willpower.
As such, it was inevitable that the circulation would be disrupted to some extent.
It was natural.
When it comes to running, there’s no way that running while having random thoughts is the same as running in a trance.
“But it is different now. Mana is only mana. She’s not selfish, and she doesn’t hold an opinion. It is only an energy source that moves according to the order of the heir.”
“It’s just a source of energy… … .”
The surroundings instantly became quiet.
The sound of mana disappeared.
All I could feel was the pulse of mana.
‘This is it.’
The Infinity Circle accelerated again. Mana rotates the circle more smoothly.
Everyone is in a trance, thinking only of spinning in a circle, spinning and spinning again.
“huh. That’s it. Because he is also an heir. I feel good.”
Mimir smiled as if he was satisfied at last.
“Concentrate the mana you spun in that state on the Caylum holding it in your hand.”
Mana, which continued to rotate without a goal, began pouring out toward the target point called Caylum.
It was like a lake overflowing.
The amount of mana emitted was unusual.
No, the rate of release before the amount of release is outrageous.
If the mana discharge so far had the feeling of being discharged through a faucet,
Now it feels like it is flowing like the torrent of a lake.
‘The magic processing efficiency itself has changed completely.’
An exclamation came out of nowhere.
This is the ring of awakening, and this means that it uses real mana.
I felt that way.
“good. Just do it. Caylum is also considered a part of your body. Keep moving mana.”
I heard the pages of a book turning in front of me.
It means you’ve moved on to the next step.
“In that state, follow what I say from now on. Ah, I don’t have to say it, but the successor sings according to the technique of the chant.”
I nodded slightly.
I wish I could have answered, but the circulation of mana using Caylum was very difficult.
I didn’t have time to open my mouth.
“I will begin.”
Mimir took a deep breath.
“The mistletoe tree will not be shaken by any oath.”
Following Mimir’s dock.
“The mistletoe tree will not be shaken by any oath—”
Sorcery began in my mouth.
Flash-!
A bright light burst from Caylum.

That night.
Sang-hyun Sang was angry like fire in his room.
“These incompetents! I did as you asked. What is this?”
He put the latest special communication terminal to his ear and shouted loudly.
“I’m the only one going to prison because of you! How are you going to take on this responsibility! uh!?”
―Can you turn down the volume?
A woman’s voice was heard over the receiver.
―I hate being noisy. Calm down. Let’s solve it by conversation calmly among people who have both intelligence each other.
“shut up! Do you think I’m in the mood to have a friendly conversation with you right now!?”
The person on the phone is none other than Hermes, an executive of the Black Mage Tower.
Hermes was busy enough to handle internal affairs due to his ability as a hacker, so he didn’t take care of external affairs.
With the death of Tkish and the death of Parade, manpower became scarce, and he had no choice but to take on external work.
As hacking was essential for this mission, it was also the most efficient for Hermes to be in charge of this mission.
“What are you going to do! uh? You bitch!”
—… … now. Calm down to talk about the solution.
Hermes replied, suppressing his anger and enduring it.
A person who has endured anger can tolerate it better.
Since Hermes was not accustomed to such external responses, it was not so easy to endure his anger.
“solution? What is the solution? What is the solution to this situation? f*ck! It’s my fault for trusting this incompetent bitch. Call another executive other than you. I can’t talk to you!”
—… … under.
At that time, Hermes’ voice instantly became cold.
―When you go out in a low posture, you really climb endlessly.
His voice was so cold that even Sang-hyeon Sang, who was so full of fever that he couldn’t think normally, flinched.
-Could you say it again? Are you incompetent? I am?
Sanghyun’s heart sank. I only heard your voice It was just that, but I had the illusion that an indescribable fear had appeared before my eyes.
―The incompetent is you, not me.
“… … .”
Sang-Hyun Sang’s head suddenly went cold.
I grabbed my reason and grabbed my spirit.
―If you hadn’t fallen for the kid’s tricks, it wouldn’t have ended this far. Blame it on your crappy judgment for making that happen on this good game. Why are you blaming me?
Hermes’ voice grew colder and colder.
-And what? Are you saying I’m incompetent? Jeokban Hajangdo is oily resin. Do you want to be the wolf’s food in the snow mountain?
It was a sincere statement.
If this continues, Sanghyun Sang will really die.
“Ji, calm down. i had lost my temper I apologize for all the verbal abuse I did to you.”
—… … .
Hermes was silent.
“I hope you understand my situation too. You could spend at least five years rotting in prison. But can I not lose my reason?”
still silence.
What is the mission, what should I do to kill this man? It was a silence full of such worries.
“And it’s true that they prepared a good plate. Didn’t you guys expect Shin Ha-yul to come out like that at all? There shouldn’t be a few mistakes on your side!”
Sang-Hyun Sang, who became desperate, shouted desperately.
—… … Tsk.
Hermes clicked his tongue.
―There is no room for refutation to that statement. It is true that there were mistakes on our side as well. yes. I’ll admit it.
Hermes’ voice calmed just a little bit.
-You’re lucky. If it hadn’t been for a mistake, I would have killed him.
Sang-Hyun Sang’s shoulders trembled.
That statement is not false.
He was really about to die right now.
―Please be careful with your words next time. Don’t forget who we are and what a terrifying organization we are.
“… … that, yes I will keep it in my heart.”
-great.
Hermes grinned.
―Then you know that the sediment has been resolved. Let’s move on to the next thing.
“As for the next one… … .”
-prison. You say you don’t want to go?
“… … Is there really a way?”
-yes. of course. Of course, there is a trick to avoid going to jail, and you can seize the power of the mystery house at once.
When I thought to myself, there seemed to be no corner to escape.
After all, is the black mage tower different?
“That, what is that?”
-Your older brother. All you have to do is place the blame on Sang-cheol Sang.
“… … what?”
Sang-hyun Sang widened his eyes.
―Of course, it would be difficult to leave it alone. We need to kill Phase Iron so it doesn’t become a nuisance. Because the dead don’t talk.
“Did I kill my brother with my own hands?”
-yes. Don’t worry, it won’t be too difficult. All the plates will be laid by us. You’re just hooked with a prepared knife on the spot. All you have to do is stab Sangcheol’s neck.
“… … .”
Sang-hyeon Sang’s eyes trembled even in an earthquake.
―Ah, by the way, I can’t give you that much time to think about it. In order to pass all the sins on to Sang-cheol Sang, I have to move as quickly as possible.
“That means… … .”
-yes. Operation ends in 2 hours.
“… … .”
Sanghyun’s lips trembled.
No matter how hard he was, his reason that he couldn’t kill his older brother and his obscene desire were in conflict.
―I will give you one minute to think.
“… … I don’t need a minute.”
The conclusion came sooner than expected.
“I will kill you. If only I could live… … .”
Those who harbor filthy desires become filthy even themselves.
“If only I could seize the power of the Mystical House… … . I should I have to do it.”
Sang-Hyun Sang’s eyes shone with an obscene expression.
* * *
morning that day.
After Kailum’s awakening, I slipped out of the dormitory and headed to the nearby 24-hour training ground.
The purpose, of course, is to demonstrate Caylum and check the Ring of Awakening performance.
How much have I really grown?
Also, how great is Caylum’s power?
And finally, what kind of performance will Caylum’s true power be?
With a trembling heart, I moved on.
I was walking down the street at night like that.
Woo-woo-!
The phone in my pocket vibrated.
[Adela]
It was a call from Adela.
calling at this hour
‘Did he call Sang-cheol Sang-cheol, the head of the household, after hearing that I had woken up?’
It may also be a time when what happened during the negotiations gradually spread to the outside world.
probably right
‘Still, I’m surprised. Adela calls at dawn.’
No matter how worried I was and how glad I was to wake up, I’m not the kind of person to call you at dawn like this.
‘Anyway, was 11 days too long?’
With that in mind, I called right away.
“Honey… … .”
– come… … never come!
Adela cut me off and shouted.
“… … Adela?”
– Never come… … Wow!
“what’s the matter! Adela!?”
After Adela’s brief scream.
A fleeting silence flows.
-Do you remember my voice?
A familiar voice was heard.
The voice I heard until I got tired of it during the day.
“Sang Hyun Sang… … .”
―From now on, come to where I said. Give me 15 minutes.
“… … .”
– You will have to come alone. If someone is brought in or even reported… … .
Sang-Hyun Sang laughed meanly.
―Then my nephew’s life will be in danger.
―Well, if you never come… … . Big!
-shut up.
“… … .”
My mind went cold.
In spite of the embarrassing situation, my head wasn’t excited at all.
I’m just trying to figure out this situation calmly and calmly.
―The location is one of our family’s private lands, the rose garden. remember. 15 minutes. There’s no point in being late.
“… … great.”
-good. I knew you would say that There’s no way good guys like you would abandon their friends.
Sang-Hyun Sang laughed.
-Then see you later. It will definitely be a good time.
“yes. I think so too.”
I wrapped Aes around my body as it was, and pulled out the Caylum I had put inside and held it.
‘It’s going to be a great time…’ … .’
The unattractive appearance disappeared without a trace.
Caylum revealed its true form.
It contained my mana and emitted a subtle black color.
so the phone call ended.
“… … Captain Charles. We have a problem.”
I immediately called Captain Charles.
