25 – World 11. Magic Practice (3)
“Western forces are equally divided into two, upper and lower. As the Ice Empress and the King of the Beasts.”
Karina, who spoke of those two factions first, began to explain step by step.
“The Frozen Empress is the result of the foolishness of the humans here. There was a time when the human leaders gathered in one place when the King of Heaven devoured a country.”
“To stop the Chest King?”
“Yes. And on the spot, this opinion came out. There is a demigod that was sealed 6-700 years ago, so let’s wake it up and stop the King.”
“…”
It occurred to me that there are quite a few beings sealed on this continent.
Maybe there are a few more if you look for them?
“At the time, he pushed forward with confidence. I believed that if I put a mental restraint on it while sealed, it wouldn’t do me any harm.”
“It must have failed.”
“It failed spectacularly. The Ice Empress casually released the mental restraint and turned everyone in the area into an ice monster.”
“Ice monster?”
In response to my question, Karina explained in more detail.
“Do you know undead? Or the specter of our world. To put it simply, it is a moving corpse, but the Ice Empress made it into such a monster and rapidly expanded its power.”
“I heard that the Chest King also uses corpses?”
“Strictly speaking, he is a parasitic. It’s closer to entering a corpse and being reborn as a new race.”
In contrast, the Frozen Empress seemed like a story about a necromancer dealing with real corpses.
“From my point of view, it seems dangerous enough to be similar to the Chest King.”
“Fortunately, while the Ice Empress was expanding her influence, she invaded the domain of the Beast King. The current situation is that the King of Witch Beasts, angry at that fact, is attacking the forces of the Ice Empress.”
So, in the West, the existence of the Ice Empress and the King of the Demons was fighting each other.
“But after about a year, the Ice Empress wins and expands her power again.”
“Are you saying we have to fight the Ice Empress in a year?”
“Yes. And from then on, human forces begin to crumble rapidly.”
east and west.
It was understandable that it collapsed rapidly when attacked from both sides.
“I fought against the King of Darkness until the end, but I was defeated in the end.”
Besides, it seemed that Karina had never been with the Ice Empress before returning.
‘Anyway, the situation is really bad.’
There were two strong forces capable of devouring humanity.
I don’t know if I can use the power of my body, but I thought it would be a bit difficult with my current abilities.
‘yes?’
Then, seeing Ren next to him, he seemed bored and swung the double-edged ax I gave him.
Perhaps because of his strength, the way he wielded it lightly with one hand was impressive.
I took my eyes off Ren and looked around for a while.
There was only a very peaceful natural scenery.
“Are there any monsters here?”
“A monster? Even if you only see a shadow, the player will be able to turn on the lights in their eyes and run. The monsters that remain in the kingdom after the player appears are extinct.”
If you think about it, the reason why you go to the frontline now is to catch monsters and raise each level.
If there were monsters left in places like this, there was no need to go to the frontlines.
‘Certainly walking for a week or two is a waste of time.’
Thinking that far, I finally asked about the seniority method.
“How about seniority?”
“As for the seniority method… First, if your magical ability is 20 or higher, you can move the magical energy that is spread throughout your body. And connecting that magical power to a specific part like dots is the practice of seniority.”
“…”
Unfortunately, I didn’t understand it well after listening to the explanation.
“You mean you have to concentrate your magic on a specific part first?”
“Yes. It’s called the magic point. Also, as the magic points that need to be set for each practice are different, the effect is also different.”
Karina’s words continued.
“The practice I learned before is the ‘breeze’ practice. Its characteristics are light weight and long lasting technique.”
“A breeze?”
What kind of practice is called Breeze?
Karina spoke about him as if she had read my thoughts.
“Seniority is originally a mana vision used by nobles and knights in this world. They created the exercises for the purpose of having natural phenomena or mysteries in their bodies. That’s why the name like a breeze came out.”
“yes?”
“Lee Seong-min, please tell us the fighting method and the weapon you use later. I will find the right practice for you.”
According to her words, Karina had learned light movements and specialized techniques for long-term warfare.
Are you different now?
While thinking, Karina pointed to a place where the trees were moderately thick.
“While talking about it, let’s sit there and feel the magic first. We need to learn how to practice before we reach the frontline.”
“Should I feel the magic too?”
“Absolutely. How can we unite without feeling magical power?”
I nodded.
If it was possible to learn something, it was better to learn at least one more thing.
“Now, both of you, sit down comfortably. It’s so comfortable that it wouldn’t be strange to fall asleep right away.”
As soon as Karina arrived at the shadowy place pointed out earlier, she taught me and Ren one by one.
“If you are comfortable sitting down, close your eyes and feel the magic spreading through your body. If you don’t know, try using the skill. When you use a skill, mana moves. You can feel it.”
However, despite Karina’s explanation, the mana felt simple.
It filled my body like a calm lake.
‘Is it because of the experiences I’ve had so far?’
I literally felt magical power in an instant and listened to Karina’s next explanation.
“If you feel it, try moving slowly. You have to freely move your magic power to score magic points. You have to get used to the magic itself first.”
This wasn’t difficult either.
I moved slowly, keeping the magic I felt inside my body under my control.
But.
‘······what?’
The power to move was minimal.
The mana that dwelled in his body was vast, but the mana that moved him was very weak.
To answer that question, I asked Karina.
“Karina. The moving mana is insignificant. What is the reason?”
“Yes? Are you already successful?”
“It’s literally only moving slightly.”
Karina, who blinked as if in surprise, tilted her head and showed herself concentrating on her posture.
It seemed that he was thinking of moving his mana.
After a while, Karina frowned slightly.
“This… I don’t think the item Lee Seong-min gave me is moving.”
“Magic power that goes up as an item?”
“Yes. That mana is out of control.”
“…”
That said, the magic power equivalent to 780 should be left inside the body.
I also thought about the reason.
‘It seems that the magical power of the item belongs to the item.’
To put it simply, if I take off the item, the current magic power will also disappear.
This is because the magical power itself belonged to the item, not to my body.
Therefore, I decided to give up with no choice but to judge that item magic could not be moved.
‘Then the magical power I moved must be 27, the pure ability value.’
Karina thought hard about whether she hadn’t thought of such a case, but there wasn’t really a way for her.
“Well, it’s unfortunate, but magic itself is a useful ability. It’s also essential when using skills, so don’t worry about it.”
“I’m fine, but what about you?”
“I’m fine too.”
Even though he couldn’t move his mana, his abilities didn’t go anywhere.
Karina said that she was okay with just that ability.
I had the same thoughts as her.
And after about 30 minutes, I could see that Ren had succeeded too.
“Lee Seong-min is like that, and Ren is also very fast.”
“How long does it usually take?”
“The first time I learned it, it took me a day.”
If Karina’s words were true, it seemed that Ren’s talent itself was superior.
When I saw Ren like that, I spoke to Karina again.
“Anyway, since you succeeded, can you learn how to practice?”
After that, you can summon a riding pet and fly to the frontline area.
“I have to learn to learn anyway… if I like Seongmin Lee, I will.”
When the decision was made, Karina and Len, including me, disconnected and returned to the original world.
[Closing the connection.]
[Please do not move for one minute.]
For reference, you can flick your fingers for one minute while the connection is terminated, but if you turn your head or move your arm, the termination is canceled immediately.
It seemed like a system that could not be arbitrarily terminated during battle.

Dig!—
Anyway, confirming that the connection was terminated with a pure white light, I opened the lid of the connector and came out.
Then, naturally, I saw the number engraved on my left wrist.
【1/1/13】
‘It’s amazing to see it again.’
Feeling strange that the power I gained there was being applied to my body, I immediately went up to the third floor where Karina was.
When I came up, I could see Karina and Ren who had disconnected and came out like me.
“Now, let’s find a practice method that suits Lee Seong-min and Ren.”
Karina said with a brighter face than expected.
“How about Karina?”
Since the connection had already been terminated, he returned to his original tone, but Karina immediately pointed out that he did not like it.
“Mr. Lee Seong-min. Wouldn’t it be better to quickly get used to speaking?”
“I only had to change it inside.”
Karina still had a dissatisfied face, but went to her room without saying anything.
“Follow me. I will find a practice method that suits Lee Sung-min. Ren, come with me too.”
When I went into Karina’s room, she sat down at a nearby desk and raised the hologram monitor I had seen before to enlarge it.
It’s a hologram, and even the size seems to change freely.
‘As expected, one technology in this world is good.’
While thinking and waiting, Karina went on the web and searched for the practice method.
‘Well.’
More than 100 exercises were lined up on the screen.
