1st Circle (2)
“Suck!”
Whoops-
Merlin’s eyes widened and he took a deep breath and thrust his dagger into the dantian.
His dagger went deep into his dantian.
Zi-
‘Done!’
Merlin’s eyes lit up at the sound of his dantian breaking.
The mana in the dagger touched the mana heart and created a rift.
From now on, Merlin’s job is to grow the rift even more and break the mana heart.
Bang-
The dagger that was removed from the abdomen rolled on the floor.
Alongside, his Awakening A-class regenerative power healed his wounds in an instant.
‘Concentrate… Concentrate!’
Merlin continued to abuse the cracked mana heart.
One hour, two hours… Time passes without end.
Zeng-
At that moment, Merlin could hear something inside him breaking apart.
“Shit!!….”
A different level of pain than when he stabbed his stomach in the stomach struck his brain and the emptiness of mana scattering raged.
Still, Merlin smiled slightly.
He felt the mana scattered from the broken mana heart flowing through his body.
‘This is the beginning.’
Feeling his pain, he awakened his mind.
With pain, he guided the mana in his body to the approximation of his heart.
‘Move.’
For thousands of years, mana had been Merlin’s friend and his companion.
It was no different in this life.
Woong-
His mana heart was broken and the scattered mana moved according to his guidance and gradually accumulated in the heart.
A smile spread across Merlin’s lips at the comfort of finally wearing his own clothes.
Hu Hung-
The wind blew through the center of Merlin, who was sitting upright.
‘It’s been a long time since I made a circle.’
He had built up nine circles in his body, but he couldn’t even remember when.
The ring shape gradually forming in the heart gave Merlin excitement.
‘If this body is like a blank sheet of paper… you can try it.’
Even Merlin, the first 9th circle wizard, didn’t have everything perfect from the start.
He also had a one-circle day for him, and he had to go through a lot of trial and error.
No, he was right that he got into the ninth circle after more trial and error than the later runners.
In that way, he was able to create a method to form an optimal circle by accumulating a lot of data, but Merlin, who already had nine circles, could not try.
Ordinary wizards form circles as if they were stacking blocks when making circles.
But Merlin’s approach was different.
A method of making rings by twisting mana thinly like knitting.
Then the circle can hold more mana, and it will stretch elastically.
If the elasticity of the circle is increased, it can become more stable from ‘circle overload’.
Jureuk-
A cold sweat ran down Merlin’s forehead.
He developed and perfected the theory.
But he hadn’t even tried that.
Merlin’s own way of forming circles that can’t even be attempted with any mana control skills.
After a long time, it was first embodied in the heart of the creator.
‘Mana is plentiful.’
The mana amount of the mana hearts that Merlin in the present life had collected was abundant.
If it was a normal circle, it was enough to form 2 circles.
However, with the way Merlin was currently trying it would be enough only for one circle.
‘From now on, it is a battle of time and concentration.’
Sweat drops fell one after another.
Mana had to be twisted with the spirit of a craftsman.
Merlin’s forehead grew more and more sweaty, and time flew by as much as he was drenched in sweat.
How long has it passed….
Jiing-
Finally, the last streak of mana was connected and knotted.
In addition, the circle formed in the heart slowly rotated and began to suck the mana of the mana heart remaining in the body.
Woo woo woo-
The circle that absorbed the remaining mana in an instant became thicker and stronger.
About five hours after that.
“Whoa…”
Merlin exhaled.
The last remaining mana left in his body was scattered into the air.
It was a practice that lasted for several hours, and the day was already bright.
But Merlin’s face was brighter and brighter than ever.
He murmured slowly.
“Magic Arrow.”
It is the most basic magic created with mana and the first magic used by all wizards.
Tsureung-
Seeing the magic arrow that was created in an instant, Merlin had an emotional look.
‘I succeeded! Although the mana is a little lower than I thought…, this is enough to finish it by just absorbing the mana in the atmosphere.’
A new type of circle in the heart.
His challenge was a success.
He had more mana than when he made 1 circle in the normal way.
‘If only I had this… I could try again.’
Once again he would be able to reach the 10th Circle and the Gate of Truth.
Merlin’s face hardened in thought.
‘By the way… the 10th circle?’
It was inevitable that the nine circles on the Life Vessel flew away as his bodies changed.
But the 10th circle was different.
It was a circle built up in the soul.
He should have left a 10th circle in his soul, if it was true that he was reincarnated.
“It’s strange… I don’t feel anything.”
He tried to feel the 10th ring, but felt nothing.
‘Did being overworked in the end become a problem?’
In order to reach the door of truth while dealing with that damn swordsman, he was forced to use the 10th circle.
It would not be surprising if the circle, which was at risk at the time, had collapsed.
But Merlin did not give up hope.
“For now, getting to the 9th circle comes first.”
If so, he might be able to activate the 10th circle formed in the soul.
It was good to keep all possibilities open.
“But what is this?”
Merlin’s head tilted.
The circle of the soul was not felt, and a strange energy was felt.
Even in the middle of the heart.
A question mark floated over Merlin’s head at the familiar feeling.
“Is this… the awakening period?”
There was a look of wonder in his eyes.
It was only when he made the mana circle that the awakening period was created.
Merlin traced his fingertips with his dagger to check.
Sugak-
There was a little bit of blood, and the wound had healed before a few seconds passed.
It was the A-class regenerative power that Merlin possessed.
“Really?”
It was the first time since the dawn of the Awakening period that a law that was unlikely to be broken was broken by Merlin for the first time.
“Is it because I made a mana circle by breaking the mana heart?”
The awakened ability in his heart felt as if it were his home.
“It’s fun.”
This was never a bad thing for Merlin.
He was going to think about how to use the awakened ability in his heart.
Boo boom boom-
After sitting for a long time, he stood up.
As the mana heart disappeared, the strong body felt as heavy as cotton soaked in water.
But his head was clearer than ever.
“I am hungry.”
Come to think of it, he didn’t think he ate anything since yesterday.
Extreme hunger ensued.
Just in time, it was time for breakfast to be distributed.
Merlin, drenched in sweat, quickly disappeared.
10 minutes after that.
Gulp-
Seeing the food piled up like a mountain on the plate made his mouth water.
‘Coming to think of it, when was the last time I ate?’
Thousands of years have passed since he gave up being human for the sake of the door of truth.
What kind of food does he eat?
Although Merlin in the present life lived by eating, for Merlin who remembered his previous life, food was something he had not seen in a long time.
‘Let’s chew on it.’
While savouring the taste as much as possible.
Gulp-
Swallowing a large amount of saliva in his mouth, Merlin cautiously took the fork to the food.
That was then.
Puck-
Merlin’s plate flew away.
In addition, the food piled up on it was scattered everywhere.
“Uh?”
Merlin was dazed, not knowing what happened.
Soon a voice came from behind him.
“Is this kid alive?”
Puck-
Also, Merlin’s head slumped forward with a strong impact on the back of his head.
‘What?’
Merlin’s mind stopped.
He was busy trying to figure out what had happened to him.
Food scattered everywhere and he felt a sharp pain in the back of the head.
And what puzzled Merlin above all else was the fact that he was right.
He felt so absurd that he momentarily forgot that he had to be angry.
‘Huh… how long has it been since I’ve seen this?’
As he grew older and his magic crossed the 3rd circle, he had never been hit by anyone.
A monster is a monster, and a human is a human.
Merlin was mainly in a beating position, not the right position.
As he reached maturity, he was admired by many.
The wizards considered even his shadow to be sacred and did not step on it.
But now someone had slapped him on the back of his head like that.
‘Which bastard hit me!’
Merlin lifted his head and looked behind him.
There was a snake-eyed boy and two people who looked like followers in front of him.
‘Did that guy with no brain on his head hit me now?’
As he looked at himself and saw his writhing appearance, he could tell without even asking the culprit who slapped him in the back of the head.
In the mixed memories there, his name came to mind.
“Edward.”
