Chapter 119 Utilization of Magic
With the help of employee Heeyeon Lee, Jihoo dragged the monster to the backyard. It could have been 2.5m tall and weighed over 300kg.
Fortunately or unfortunately, it was divided in half, so it was not difficult to move it. No one was there because the personnel who were working on the backyard were evacuated as soon as the cracks appeared.
“After- heavy.”
“What if it’s this heavy?”
“… … It seems like something has changed.”
“By the way, why doesn’t this bleed?”
“Monster’s blood is sticky. When it dies, it hardens. That’s why it’s difficult to drain blood when processing.”
“Ugh. Should I be here?”
“No, go in. The rift is over, so the guests will come.”
“Okay- suffer.”
Lee Hee-yeon ate on the corpses of other monsters, but the monsters seemed to be unable to adapt.
‘My blood is full of demons… … . I’ll have to drain the blood and collect it.’
Jihoo looked at the information of the monsters he had read.
『Chunjang Bukkake [Monster] [Elite] [Lv. 08]』
: A hundred-headed monster that commands the white-clad bukkake. Possessed characteristics focused on speed, and is now dead.
* [Advanced Acceleration]
* [Creating Intermediate Magi]
* [Intermediate Demonic Control]
* [Enhance Intermediate Magi]
Jihoo couldn’t stand it when he saw the options.
It’s [upper class].
However, information was more important than immediate options.
‘Segmentation.’
It is said that Mine will come later.
A demon is a person who entered the castle and made a contract with the demon king or the demon king’s direct subordinate. Its appearance is no different from that of a human, but it uses magic instead of mana.
A normal wizard has a body several times stronger than a hunter and has the ability to use magical power, but there is a downside to not being able to disobey the devil’s words.
‘In case you don’t know, I’ll have to find out which demon realm he came from.’
: A monster born and raised on a continent judged as the fifth dimension.
“… … ?”
No further information was forthcoming.
Since it is information related to a different dimension, it is fragmentary. But it is a ‘continent’. A continent that is not ‘Pandemic’.
have heard
Jihoo picked up a lot of things from adults while running a general store. In addition, since the Internet is so developed, there is no choice but to access a lot of information.
In addition, a lot of information was released as [Pandemonium] called Devil Castle was judged as a neutral country, humans came in and out, and demons came out and permeated society.
‘The demon world is said to exist under the continent, but the continent is the middle world. I heard that the underworld is the world below, and there is also a heaven above.’
It’s not 100% certain because it’s information that spreads well. However, it was information that many people had heard, and there was also information leaked to the demons, so it would not be wrong.
“I don’t know.”
Right now, that doesn’t matter.
I wish I could know what dimension it is, but that kind of information doesn’t come out. Well, the 24th dimension is also a name decided on this earth, so it’s not strange that it doesn’t appear in the explanation.
than that-
“Advanced acceleration.”
Acceleration means ‘to increase speed’. Moving all the way at a constant speed means that the acceleration is zero, and going from 10 km/h to 12 km/h means that the speed has accelerated to 2 km/h.
That meant that the monster’s movement was not fast from the beginning, but gradually became faster.
“Of course, [Advanced] would have ambiguous limits.”
No matter how it is called [Acceleration], if you become an advanced level, it will be ridiculously fast from the beginning, and it will become even more ridiculously fast as time passes.
It’s because [advanced] is what is called a [transgression] that transcends common sense and physical limitations.
“I want to use this fully, but… … .”
That’s almost impossible.
It is possible if you use [Extract Option]. But I don’t think it’s possible in a normal way, because it’s magi.
This [Advanced Acceleration] is operated by Magi, and it is an option made of Magi.
Jihoo looked at the options once again.
* [Advanced Acceleration]
* [Creating Intermediate Magi]
* [Intermediate Demonic Control]
* [Enhance Intermediate Magi]
Controlling and strengthening demons are basic options for monsters. However, from [Creation] onwards, it is rare to have it, but it seems that all monsters called Bukkake are available. The normal Bukkake I hunted before also had [Create Lesser Magic].
[Monster] means a beast without reason, unlike [Evil], which is a single personality.
“[understanding].”
What Jihoo targeted was the monster itself. It is to check whether there is information that cannot be seen with [Segmentation].
The original purpose was Magi itself.
It was because of the hope that if he could [understand] the creation, control, and strengthening of demonic energy, he would find clues to purify it or use it in an unpurified state.
So I asked for this monster itself.
“Okay.”
Dizziness occurs.
It wasn’t exhaustion, but it seemed to have gotten close to that. But thanks to that, I was able to get more information.
‘This side seems to be fighting against humans using an outpost in Middle-earth. Human cities and weapons in memory. There are remnants of war.’
Jihoo felt a terrifying thought for a moment.
If so, wouldn’t this mean that this rift led to another middle-earth, and that humans could come over there?
But why would this be creepy?
‘Unbeknownst to me, did I think that humans are more terrifying than monsters?’
Jihoo shook his head.
That was all I needed to know.
It’s time to deliver this to Aunt Miyeon and [understand] about Magi. I don’t know if there will be any results, but I’ll try as far as I can.
[Magi].
It moves just like magic. The problem is that magic is clean and free for humans to use – of course, from the human point of view.
Just as humans would die if they used magic, demons could not use magic. However, they also dye and use magic with magic.
‘Then what about the other way around?’
Can not be done.
Jihoo even experimented with it, but the moment he tried to take over the magic with magic power, the magic power was contaminated black.
So is common sense.
‘It’s definitely true that Magi has the upper hand.’
Jihoo realized he needed advice.
I know that there is a way to purify demonic energy. But Ji-hoo doesn’t know how to do that.
So I looked for Aunt Miyeon.
It was to convey the information I found out to the monsters and to seek advice.
“… … There was something like that. Thank you. Jihoo~ I think it will be a great weapon in negotiating with Pandaemonium~”
“Is that enough? I thought it was nothing.”
“First of all, it is not possible to determine whether the demon king in Pandaemonium, that is, the demon king in the castle was a human monarch or a demon king who emerged from a rift… … . Probably both.”
“… … yes?”
Aunt Miyeon pondered for a moment before opening her mouth.
Suddenly, the tone of the conversation changed to serious.
“The ‘will’ of the demon king that came out of the rift. Or should I say soul? I don’t know completely about the existence of the demon king, but it is said that originally, when descending to the middle world, only the double body moves while the main body is in the demon world. You need a proper bowl for that process.”
“… … Are you saying that a vessel could be a human being, which was called a humanoid artifact?”
“yes. That’s why I’m reluctant to let the demons in.”
Jihoo didn’t understand for a moment.
What does it have to do with it?
“The demon king is most interested in cracks. They are not simply wary of invasions from other demon realms, but they are guessing that they are looking for cracks connected to their own dimension.”
“… … To bring the body?”
“That’s right~ That’s why the World Hunter Association and some organizations are very vigilant and put restrictions on the movements of demons and demons.”
Jihoo nodded.
It can be enough.
“okay.”
“Anyway, it was a lot of helpful information~ Even if Mine comes and checks it out, since we have the information, we can’t carelessly get involved. I need to check more, but~”
And Aunt Miyeon took out an old piece of parchment. Jihoo took it and opened it, and at the very top it was written:
[About demonic purification and utilization possibility]
Just by looking at the title, it seemed like a report.
However, there were two familiar names at the bottom.
“This… … !”
“Yes~ Me and President Shin. So, it was one of the subjects that I was researching with your father. It worked to some extent, but it was difficult commercially. But it’s possible~ It’s not bad to have a look~”
“Your father did this, too.”
At Jihoo’s words, Aunt Miyeon just laughed without saying anything. There were so many things Jihoo didn’t know about his father.
A big reason for this was that Aunt Miyeon and Uncle Jiyeol didn’t tell her in detail, saying they couldn’t talk about her father in detail.
Jihoo didn’t bother to ask more.
‘I said I’d come to know it naturally when the time comes.’
“thank you.”
“You can make good use of it~”
Jihoo said hello once again and returned to the general store.
I have to start studying again.
Jihoo moved the corpse of the monster to one side and started storage. It is not a corpse of a monster that decays, but if the hardened blood is not separated in advance, it will volatilize little by little and spread demonic energy around it.
* * *
The time the grocery store closes.
Jihoo spread the corpse of the monster on one side. All the blood was extracted and collected in a reagent bottle, and the head and horns. Breastplate and upper body, shoulders and elbows. pelvis and thighs. separated below the knee.
Then, from where to where [Advanced Acceleration] was applied, I looked at it. This is because if you use [Extract Option], you can only consume certain by-products, not the entire carcass.
‘It was an option nested in the skull and spine.’
thank god.
It was not necessary to consume the entire corpse.
In addition to physical strength, it is suitable for accepting demonic energy and can even send signals to various parts of the body, so it seems that options are separated.
‘Even if it is completely separated, [Advanced Acceleration] does not disappear. The biggest problem is that it needs to be injected with demonic energy for it to work.’
This process is unnecessary if you only want to [Extract Options]. However, it was necessary to study for the utilization of other by-products.
Jihoo read the document Miyeon’s aunt gave her.
Through [understanding], I was able to fully accept what it was about. Fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn’t a very professional and deep understanding.
so it was lacking.
But it was good to lay the groundwork. Jihoo put her hand on the reagent bottle she was holding and used [Understanding].
– [Understand] the target.
-The [Gyeong] of the target is quite high.
-Your [Intelligence] is moderate.
-The user’s [Spirit] is adequate.
-User’s [Understandability] is lowered.
-I understand [Magi] to some extent.
-Total understanding: 35%
It was still lacking.
It is not a lack of intelligence or mental strength. However, there was a phrase that the understanding of Magi itself was low.
Jihoo couldn’t understand himself.
‘Well, it’s not easy to see that people from all over the world are researching it, but they haven’t come to a conclusion yet.’
[Understanding] Conquering demons with one might itself be greed. If it was that much, someone would have already done it.
Well, black magicians use [refined magic]. It’s not like the general public can use it either. It won’t be bad if you do some research on that later.
Jihoo hit the monster’s separated arm.
Salang-
Jihoo saw something.
From nob le mt l. co m
Magi moved.
why? how? kick your arm?
“… … ah?”
then it dawned on me
Use a wand or staff to make better use of magic. Usually wands and wands play the role of amplification, so the user must know how to use magic.
But Jihoo has Kiliya’s magic pen. A tool that allows you to use high-level magic even if you cannot use it. Prior to that, the magic pen and the magic circuit of magic engineering were similar.
The user does not have to have magical powers.
They may not interlock and may be separated.
‘Why didn’t I think of this? Wouldn’t anyone else have done it?’
Jihoo decided to experiment first.
Remove the arm of the monster and make a wand.
Until now, the reason why armor and weapons using monster by-products were able to come out was because the strength and hardness of the monster by-products themselves were good. It means that the utilization was good enough even if it was removed without using demonic energy.
It was a pretty good by-product if you just removed the magic.
‘The basic knowledge about Magi is sufficient. All I have to do is substitute the magical energy into the demonic energy.’
That part was the hardest part, but it wasn’t for Jihoo.
