Chapter 1468 – 1468. The Dark Moon
Entering the operating room, I nervously looked around.
Of course, it was not an ordinary operating room. There was no equipment that often comes to mind when you think of an operating room. There is no scalpel.
“There is no need to be nervous. It’s called an operating room… It’s not an operation where you tear the flesh with a scalpel and rub the intestines.”
“… How do you restore the mana rod? I’m not asking you to teach me the secret arts. I would like to know about the rough restoration method.”
“A wizard’s mana rod is not like a physical organ or nerve. Warlocks have a special organ called the Dark Hall, but ordinary wizards do not. Expansion of the mind… It creates a mana rod, which can be called virtual nerve, centered on astral, which can be called . You know this better than I do.”
“There are people who claim that the mana rod is a mental nerve.”
“It is not entirely wrong. Because the mana rod itself is closely related to the mind.”
Opening the astral and utilizing the mana rod were all based on will. Even if it was a mental nerve, it wasn’t strange.
“Recovering the broken Mana Road is… Doesn’t that mean you can also make mana rods?”
“Different. Your mana rod is only broken, but not gone. What I’m doing is a suit. Instead of creating something out of nothing, he just made a road using the original traces of the Mana Road as a blueprint. For a building, the foundation is already in place.”
“I know roughly. Restoring the mana road… You mean to touch my mind?”
“It is not touching the mind itself. It feels like you are using your hand on a twig that has grown out of your mind. Why are you afraid If you don’t want to do it, it doesn’t matter if you quit.”
The reluctance was true.
In the original game, it ends in an instant… Because this is not a game.
However, the Mana Road needs to be restored in order to become stronger than it is now.
“Would.”
“Lying on the operating table.”
Lying on the operating table Look at the lights on the ceiling.
Familiar shit creeps in. It reminds me of the time when I was injected with mana essence. I unknowingly clenched her fist.
Lana Gomez operates the machines next to the operating table. The machine ran quietly. She placed two electrodes on my forehead and temples.
“What are you doing?”
“It is a machine that stabilizes the mind. Simply put, anesthesia. If your will affects the mana load during mana restoration, it will be difficult to restore it. Breathe a sigh Then all of your 16 mana rods should be restored.”
“…….”
I closed my eyes. But it didn’t feel like anesthesia.
“You are so tensed that your mind is overexcited. I know that your tall barriers are excellent, so relax. Open your mental barrier and accept the waves. And grow up. You must be tired because you came right after work.”
Released strength from the body.
I decided to eat at ease. I gently closed my eyes and prepared to accept the mental wave or something.
Then, through the electrodes, I felt something trying to enter my head. I knew that this was her mental wave she was talking about.
‘I can feel it now. Is the mental wave weak? Can I be anesthetized with something like this?’
I wondered.
I think it would be more certain to anesthetize with drugs.
“My back hurts. Usually it stretches in 10 seconds…. Don’t think complicated. Slowly. Concentrate on your breathing. Embrace the mental wave.”
Lana Gomez’s smooth, flat voice began to sound comfortable. Start to get sleepy Maybe this is normal. As she said, I fell asleep focusing on my breathing.
Consciousness sinks into the water. There is no shaking, and it is in good temperature water. It’s like being in a swimming pool. However, being in the water did not mean that it was completely cut off from the outside world. The voices outside are faintly heard.
“Come. Late. Hurry….”
“Mom. This… Really….”
“… Believe. … Boss….”
“Wizards… Cavalier….”
“Start….”
Intermittently heard words.
There was one word that got on my nerves.
Cavalier.
Cavalier Industries.
A damn company that treats biological experiments as if they were eating rice. One of the least entangled companies in the world is Cavalia Industries.
‘… Why is the name Kabballia appearing?’
I felt my sinking consciousness rise to the top. I didn’t open my eyes My consciousness became clearer and I remembered that I was recovering the Mana Road. If I fully awaken here, restoration may fail.
Instead, I listened to the sounds coming from outside. Their voices sounded clearer than before.
“Oh Mr. 16 mana rods smashed? I’m going to die of boredom!”
“Milla. Focus on assist.”
“It doesn’t matter. Just looking at it, it looks like this guy’s mana rod is broken due to overload… This is a common guest for my mother.”
“I am not a regular guest. I’ve never seen a wizard like this in the decades of running this store. The potential for mana affinity is at least level 9, and the mana sensitivity is also at level 8 or higher.”
“What is that? Is that just mouth-watering? There can’t be a monster with that kind of talent.”
“Isn’t it right in front of your eyes? I have contacted Kavallia. We sell this guy to Kavallia and go to Freecell Kingdom.”
“Know? I decided to sell my career and follow her mom. Keep your promise.”
“It’s not me who has to keep the promise, it’s Kavalia’s side. And Kavallia will keep her promise. From their point of view, 10 billion credits and a noble title in the Kingdom of Freecell would be nothing.”
“This guy is too pitiful. How did you get caught by a woman like your mother…. Is it the tragedy of a magical genius? Mom killed the future archmage.”
“Stop talking nonsense and focus on your work. You will be able to get the full price only if you restore all the mana suits.”
“Okay. Okay. Stop nagging. The blue distortion gas injected into Mana Road No. 8 has stabilized.”
“The 8th mana rod just needs to be calibrated. Can you do that much?”
“Even though I quit this job for a while, I only worked for ten years as an assistant under my mother. This much is chewing gum.”
“How is your mental state?”
“Why? Are you afraid that it will happen?”
“Your mental strength is not average compared to other mages. It took more than two minutes for this guy to go to sleep after getting hit by a mental wave.”
“Hey. Are you saying that mental talent is as good as magic talent? Mind is stable. What are you so worried about with your mental pulse at full power?”
“At least one safety measure. Enter the 10th mana road recovery.”
I barely held back the raging heat.
I knew from the context of the conversation what this mother and daughter were trying to do.
They are trying to sell me to Cavalia Industries.
‘Fuck. It’s a bitch.’
I trusted Lana Gomez.
I trusted her, who had taken her place here and worked for decades.
‘No, I actually trusted Lana Gomez, the NPC in the game. Because she has never betrayed a player. I didn’t even know she was connected to the Kabbalian pups.’
After using my knowledge of the game to benefit from this and that, I was mistaken that I knew everything. It was arrogance.
It didn’t work.
The information I know is only a small part of this world.
‘I want to kill these bitches right now, but….’
These women were recovering the mana road to sell me for my fair share.
‘… Wait until all the mana roads are restored.’
Fortunately, these women did not even dream that I was half awake.
‘I can feel the wavelength, but it’s at a level where I can shake it off whenever I want. Is this the maximum power of the mental wave? The mental wave isn’t too bad.’
I quietly waited for the restoration of the Mana Road to finish. It was something that required quite a bit of patience.
Only the news that the broken mana roads were being restored one by one made me happy.
•••
“Did it end sooner than expected?”
“The mana affinity and mana sensitivity were high, so he easily recovered the mana road. I didn’t know that the backlash wouldn’t happen even once.”
“That surprised me too. Normally, when one mana rod is restored, the rebound action occurs about 5 times….”
“Milla. You are here watching this guy. Someone from Cavallia decided to come in 3 hours….”
I quietly got up. Lana Gomez turned her body to take off her gloves, and Mila Gomez, with dyed blue hair, looked at me and winced, her eyes wide open.
“Uh, Mom… !”
The original 34 mana rods and the restored 16 mana rods. A total of 50 mana rods are activated. The magic was instantly built up and activated.
[Microwave]
“Milla?”
Lana Gomez turned her body to look at her daughter. Mila opened her mouth as if to say something of hers, but then she swelled up and she burst open.
Cheolpduk.
Blood and viscera splattered everywhere. Mila’s warden slid off Lana Gomez’s shoulder. Lana Gomez’s eyes shake as she drenches herself in her daughter’s blood and her intestines.
“You, you, you son of a bitch!!”
Lana Gomez yells at me. She takes something of hers out of her trouser pocket and points it at me. At the same time, both of her arms exploded.
“Aaaaagh!”
I looked at the object that fell to the floor with her hand. It was a golden stick. Runes are drawn on the surface.
“Is it an artifact containing blaze magic? It’s a compression method. It would have been quite intimidating if it had been triggered.”
“This, you ungrateful bastard!”
“Favor? Don’t give a damn. It was a fair trade. You told me to trust you, and I trusted you. But what comes back is a splendid backlash. Sell me to Cavalier? Fucking year. You almost went through the fucking experiment life again. Lana Gomez. It doesn’t kill nicely.”
“I knew everything… ?”
I approached Lana Gomez. Lana Gomez gritted her teeth. She ran towards her door. She shouts as she slams her door with her shoulder and steps outside.
“Security! It’s an emergency! Kill this child right now… Aaaaagh!”
Lana Gomez’s right foot exploded. Her body leans down. I even exploded her left arm. Lift her body up with telekinesis.
“Damn, damn, damn… !”
As I was admiring Lana Gomez’s distorted face for a moment, a security came upstairs and downstairs from her. As soon as she sees me, she pulls the trigger. Magic bullets poured out. But it couldn’t penetrate my barrier. It was a barrier I made with all my heart using 50 mana rods. It’s not a barrier that can only be pierced by low-level magic bullets.
“Today everyone in this building will die.”
He lifted his right foot slightly, then stepped on the floor again. A magic circle glowed around his feet and then disappeared.
[Electric Field]
Right after that, electricity started to spread from my feet in all directions. The current spread through the entire building through the floor, walls and ceiling of the building. The guys who were shooting at me were electrocuted and collapsed.
“Stop… ! I was wrong! Admit it! I tried to sell you to Kavallia! I will formally apologize. Let’s do this. All you want is money I’ll give you the money I’ve saved so far. About 3 billion credits. Don’t you need money too?!”
“I can earn as much money as I want. Right now, it’s more about getting rid of this fucking feeling than money.”
“You killed my precious daughter! Killed the Securities here too! You motherfucking murderer! End here! Let’s stop! I am speaking for you!”
“Just beg for help, bitch.”
“…… Will you save me?”
“No.”
I hung Lana Gomez from the second floor of the building. Whenever the wind blew, her armless torso swayed. A rope hung around her neck, her face contorted with pain.
I walked openly among the onlookers. Look at me and smile Lana Gomez’s clients talk about killing me. I ignored all of them. This case will eventually spread.
‘I want to kill the cavalier bastard who came to buy me, but… There’s no way they’ll come after this uproar.’
Anyway, I walk forward with a refreshed feeling. No one stood in my way. The whole story of this case will spread knowingly, and later Lana Gomez will get her bad name. She’s Lana Gomez who sells out customers.
Exit Eira Street.
Five flashing police cars blocked me. Armed police, London guards surround me menacingly.
“Raise your hands and get down on your knees. This murderer is. “
A man with a large build said to me, waving a sword in his hand.
I lifted the bag I was carrying. It was a slightly larger bag than a guitar case. The cops wince.
“Fuck. What are you doing? Do you want to hang out here?”
“Get out of the way. I have something to deliver to Countess Freewood.”
“… What?”
“I told you to turn it off. Cop.”
“This fucking bastard….”
“It is a very important item for Countess Freewood.”
“…….”
He grits his teeth and looks around. My fellow cops all shake their heads.
“Fuck….”
He stood aside
I proudly passed him.
This is the power of nobility.
I just mentioned the name, but the London Guards who protect the security of Neo London can’t do anything. He doesn’t even think about subduing me and taking things.
‘That’s amazing.’
The power of the rulers of this city.
Authority.
It really is a coveted power.
