Episode 473 The Mystery of the Devilâs World (2)
âThis is what it isâ¦â
After killing the monster, he absorbed mana as if he were eating food.
Come to think of it, this phenomenon also happened when I ate the fruit randomly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo wayâ¦â
Ray hurriedly returned to the meadow, leaving the monsterâs corpse alone.
The stream is still clean and the fruits are numerous.
ââ¦â
I looked at the water flowing in the stream.
The goblins here use the stream for drinking water.
Perhaps the reason why their intelligence is superior to that of the goblins outside has something to do with it.
In fact, he also ate the water and fruits of this place and absorbed mana.
furthermore.
Ray still felt the tactile sensation in his hand.
As soon as he killed the monster, he absorbed mana.
Although it was at a weak level, I felt that my body was overflowing with energy more than before.
Literally a dungeon.
Doesnât the mana of the killed monster flow into the atmosphere and get absorbed?
Just in time, two goblins entered the meadow to draw water.
Rey hid for a moment, then swung her dagger at the two goblins to see if they were actually absorbing mana.
shhh-!
The goblins reacted to the mighty sword strike.
Thanks to the quick turn of the body, there was only a light stab wound, but it was not fatal.
What the hell kind of movement is this when itâs just a goblin!
Ray swung the dagger again.
However, the goblins had already stepped back.
âKieack!â
They threw down a wooden barrel for drinking water and immediately prepared themselves for battle.
Without hesitation, he swung his bat, but when he blocked it in reverse, one goblin pushed back by force bounced back.
âQueue?â
As soon as I stabbed the dagger into the heart of the goblin with its chest open, one died immediately.
He has high intelligence and strong strength, but lacks practical experience.
When one of the goblins completely stopped breathing, the mana that flowed out was absorbed by Rey.
âIâve definitely gotten stronger.â
Ray is still sensitive to mana.
Although he was unable to handle mana here, the ability to sensitively detect mana remained.
âKiiiikâ¦!â
As one hesitantly backed away, Ray deliberately let go of the goblin.
It has already been proven that killing monsters makes you stronger.
Although it was difficult to feel the power of only one goblin.
What if you catch twenty?
What if you catch two hundred?
If so, you will probably be able to feel it little by little.
It was for this reason that he let go of the remaining one.
âBring a lot of experience points.â
Until then, he must finish preparing to face the goblins.
Itâs like thereâs a way to go down even deeper.

When the two dungeons were created, all kinds of kingdoms rose up.
Among them, the most serious were the Holy Kingdom and the Kingdom of Silia.
The Holy Kingdom lost a considerable amount of troops, and the Kingdom of Celia lost two or three other territories including the Duchy of Soleil.
Even the people were terrified as they looked at the huge dungeon.
âWhat the hell does that mean?â
âIt seems that the royal family is forming a contingent. Until then, donât even look at me. What will you do if you receive a curse?â
âCurse⦠is that what you mean?â
âThis person! Didnât I tell you not to look at me? That must be the devilâs trick.â
Seongguk also took this seriously and announced that they would set up a contingent.
However, the appearance of the dungeon was only the beginning.
At some point, the mana in the air gradually began to flow into the dungeon.
The wizardâs circle swayed little by little, and soon lost its balance.
The mana accumulated in the body of the knights slowly dissipates into the air.
It was as if he had suffered a legendary mana drain.
All mana users on all continents were deprived of mana.
Wizards cannot use magic, and aura users cannot draw auras.
Itâs just that Iâve become a normal person with a bit of power.
It could be said that the only thing left was the divine power, and because of that, the Seongguk was greatly doubted.
All the mana has disappeared, but only the divine power remains.
Seongguk protested, saying, âThere is no way that the gift given by the Goddess will disappear,â but from the point of view of other countries, it was a sound that did not work.
Then the confusion increased even more.
In an instant, we lost all of our national power, so we had to prepare for aggression.
It was the same with the Lessian Empire.
Because they couldnât use mana, they had to worry about invasion.
When most of the kingdoms were moving in perfect order, King Deogard of Silia stepped into the study that only the king could use.
A former sword master, he lost all the mana he had stored in his body and became a normal person.
It was heartbreaking, but he hurried to the study as if there was something more important than that.
âNo way⦠that canât be.â
Arriving at the study, he hurriedly headed inside.
It smells like old books.
Now, even the preservation magic that was hung in the study had been released with the appearance of the demonic realm, and I felt that the books were getting old quickly.
King Theogarde took out a book that was buried deep inside.
Gulp â
I swallowed.
A book from an era you donât even know when.
However, judging from the fact that it was still cleanly preserved, it was clear that a very advanced secondary magic had been applied.
The Magical Realm.
I felt the weight from the name of the book.
Letâs carefully open the first chapter. The first thing you see.
â Before conveying the meaning, I ask for one thing. The Demon King is another form of the Demon King. It could be fun or it could be a mess. Please think carefully about the messenger so that you can lead the devilâs paradise to good fortune.
Deogard read the first sentence over and over again.
âAnother appearance of the Demon Kingâ¦â
So, is that huge building itself a Demon King?
After thinking for a while, King Deogard shook his head.
Itâs nonsense.
The demon king is originally to summon a great demonic energy as a sacrifice.
However, in the demon world, the remnants of demonic energy were not felt at all.
If he really is a demon king, wouldnât it be normal if he exuded considerable demonic energy?
â There must be one thing that the messengers are mistaken about. letâs do that first What is needed to summon the demon lord is divine power, not demonic energy. Opposite energies attract the demon king and make him descend to the middle world. If what was needed for summoning was divine power, what gives power to the demon lord is mana. If you drain mana and turn it into demonic energy, the muddy demonic energy of the middle world will only be a hindrance to the demon king.
Trembling-
Deogardâs body trembled as he read the words in the book.
If that statement is true, doesnât it mean that two Demon Kings have already appeared as Demon Kings?
The words written in the book now gradually continued like a form of prophecy.
â By the time the demonic world appears, mana will become complicated and wizards and knights will die. Losing the supremacy of power, there will be those who go mad, and the servants of the miserable goddess will lose their power as heresy puts forward a new will.
those who are mad?
Heresy?
As the unknown words continued one after another, King Deogard was deep in thought.
Perhaps the first sentence refers to the âmana extinctionâ that is happening now, and the last sentence implies that the kingdom is losing its national power.
Then, what the hell do those who go mad and heresy mean?
I stopped thinking for a moment and read the next sentence.
â Head towards the Devilâs Nest to get rid of it. Sharpen your strength again there. In the indifference of the goddess, you will have to grind your own body and mind instead of hoping for attention.
ââ¦â
The book happily instructed me to wander into the Devilâs Realm.
It must have been yesterday that he sat in the seat of a sword master and stared at the swordsmen of the world, but now he has degenerated into a healthy old man.
Are you still telling me to enter the demonic realm and find strength?
I checked the book to find a countermeasure, but I felt frustrated because the content I wanted was not written.
The moment you turn the book to read the next chapter.
Booth-
The old book shattered into powder.
Because âmana disappearanceâ is happening, even the mana of the magic tool is draining.
Preservation magic was no exception.
The castle where the hardening magic was cast collapsed, and all the food that had been put on the preservation magic was spoiled, causing great damage to the merchants.
And eventually, the book that will be the last clue also disappears.
King Deogard knelt down in his seat, devastated, looking at the books that were scattered and turned into powder.
âThen⦠then what should I do nowâ¦â
I feel like Iâve lost everything Iâve built up until now.
The level of sword master.
The national power he developed as a king.
Everything turns to dust and rolls everywhere.
Dark emotions cluttering my head want to take over my body.
At that moment, King Theogard realized the meaning of what the book said.
â Losing the superiority of power, there are those who go madâ¦
Until just now, the âthose who go madâ were themselves.
As the book said, the shock of losing the power he had accumulated so far made him lose his temper for a moment and almost go berserk.
Fortunately, I was able to come to my senses before I was gripped by a huge sense of loss, but there was no law that others would be like that.
âIt has to be stopped. Before it gets any bigger than this.â
King Deogard hurriedly left the study again.
* * *
Ira, who was drinking tea leisurely as usual, suddenly hardened her complexion as the mana in her body began to slowly dissipate.
âManaâ¦â
The flow of mana in the atmosphere was also a bit strange.
It seems to be heading to only one place.
My body started to lose strength gradually.
The mighty power that seemed to be able to tear down a mountain by moving oneâs hands is gradually disappearing.
The body becomes heavy enough to be incomparable to before.
It seemed that the process was not only going through itself, but there was also a commotion outside.
âMy manaâ¦!â
âUmmmâ¦â
The elder burst open the door, not knowing that it was rude.
âIra-sama! Mana is running out!â
To him, she quietly nodded.
âI know. It seems that something is going on.â
âHow can I do this?â
The stuttering elder was reprimanded.
âYou, the elder, are confused, what should I do? Keep your body tight.â
At that, the elder hurriedly picked himself up.
âsorry. It showed ugliness.â
âI have nothing to apologize for. Letâs watch quietly first.â
ââ¦yes.â
She bowed politely and withdrew.
Airaâs pupils visibly quivered as the elderâs figure completely disappeared.
I look out the window and see something in the distance.
âWhat can I do?â
She looked down at her hands.
Unlike before, it is a hand that does not feel any strength.
What can I do with these tiny hands?
To think that all the mana in the body had disappeared.
A huge sense of loss sprouted in her mind at the thought that the things she had accumulated so far were gone.
