History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 153
153fury. Mana Devourer (1)
[Assassin's Mind skill option ⑤: Rapid charge is activated.]
[Absorbs a large amount of mana from random nearby targets..]
Kiiiiing!
Lloyd's eyes closed..
Consciousness gradually faded away.
There was a change in his heart..
The three-pronged circle surrounding the heart has started..
Slowly at first.
softly and quietly.
But gradually and quickly.
fierce, fierce and fierce.
It spun at the limit speed. The limit has been exceeded. I broke it.
All restrictions are lifted.
All hesitation disappears.
I stopped distinguishing between objects..
Finally defined everything around as one.
To be absorbed.
Kiaaaaa-!
The three-pronged circle cried out..
He ran rampant, exerting influence over those around him..
7 meter radius centered on Lloyd.
A space with a total diameter of 14 meters was transformed into a violent whirlpool..
It began to absorb the mana of everything that entered it..
Kwagwagwagwagwak!
The moisture on the ground dried up instantly..
Even ants in the ground and beetles whose names are unknown.
Even the flies flying nearby and the mites in the dust.
As soon as you enter the range of rapid charge, all mana is taken away..
The flesh dried, the blood was depleted, and the kernels crumbled..
Even the shell that lost its content turned into powder..
Of course, the charging undead mastodon was no exception..
“Quooooook!”
The leading undead mastodon let out a harsh roar..
The hazy eyes glaring at Lloyd were filled with life..
But the moment you take the next step.
A change occurred in the eyes of the undead mastodon..
“……Quoo Ok?”
Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The first part to enter the range of rapid charging was the head of the undead mastodon..
Among them, the eyeball, which had relatively much moisture remaining, was the first to shrink..
“quook!”
puff!
Mana is rapidly being lost and moisture in the eyes is depleted..
The half-rotten eyeball was sunken and crumbled..
Soon my mouth and ears were twisted..
Kwajak! Kwazijic!
The inside of my body was boiling..
In an instant, mana was taken away and moisture disappeared..
The cell membrane that supported the rotten tissue was torn in an instant..
“Quoguk!”
The skin and muscles cracked..
The horn and ivory were turned into powder..
Joints and bone marrow crumbled and collapsed..
7A body weighing a ton fell to the floor..
Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer and took the final step..
The final evil magic left on the corpse by the necromancer who created the undead mastodon..
It was a corpse explosion..
Huuuk, Tukwahak-!
The twisted and crumbling body of the undead mastodon exploded violently..
It was less than 5 meters away from where Lloyd was sitting..
Fierce explosions and shock waves.
There seemed to be no barrier to protect Lloyd from the fluttering flames..
but it wasn't.
Lloyd was safe..
Even the explosive power of the corpse explosion was completely absorbed..
Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Lloyd's mana circle roared even more fiercely..
It spun ravenously, revealing evil greed..
The flames that were fluttering towards us.
The shock wave that shook the air and threatened to tear my entire body apart.
Everyone was caught in the magic of rapid charging..
It didn't matter if it exploded.
No, the magical explosion like corpse explosion was rather an illusion..
This was because I gifted him mana in an even more amplified state..
Kiiiiing-!
Lloyd swallowed the explosion in an instant.
A breathless message appeared before his closed eyelids..
Ding dong!
[A large amount of mana is being absorbed through the rapid charge skill..]
[The amount of mana absorbed is exceeding the limit of mana heart..]
[Manahart is forced to expand.]
[Skill experience gained.]
Quad Deuk, Quad Deuk!
The mana that Mastodon contained biologically from the beginning..
The undead energy planted there by the necromancer..
In addition, the explosive power of corpse explosion magic.
Everything was converted to mana.
I absorbed it all in a short moment..
Of course, it put a strain on Lloyd’s mana heart..
That shock became the foundation for growth..
[The level of Mana Heart skill has increased..]
Ding dong!
If Lloyd had his eyes open.
If you can read the message.
A message that would have been heartily cheered came to mind..
[Skill Name: Mana Heart]
[Level: Sword Expert Low Lv 3]
[rate of improvement in physical ability : 340%]
[Exclusive options for skills you have: ① Shock Cancellation ② Unstoppable Invulnerability ③ Ecstasy]
[RP required for next level up : 400]
[RP you currently own : 2,870]
“Cool look!”
It was such a rapid growth of Manahat..
Lloyd's upper body shook greatly as he was greatly shocked..
Meanwhile, the rest of the undead mastodons continued to rush forward..
“Quooooook!”
They were undead and had little thinking ability left..
Even when a colleague who was running ahead of him had his mana taken away by Lloyd and was reduced to dust and his body exploded, he rushed forward without any hesitation..
endlessly.
Without stopping.
over and over again.
One by one, they were deprived of mana and withered away..
It was so twisted that it caused an explosion of corpses..
He was unable to exert any explosive power to those around him, and even that explosive power was completely absorbed..
“Cough! Wow!”
A large amount of mana is overwhelming..
Every time, Lloyd's upper body shook as if a typhoon had hit it..
It was a different kind of experience from before, when I was absorbing King Alicia's mana in the royal capital..
‘Gagging, gagging……!’
King Alicia's mana was extremely pure..
It was refined, compressed, pure mana..
It was so easy to absorb..
Just because it was so dense.
So, because the capacity of Manahat was insufficient,.
It was a type of mana that could be easily absorbed by increasing the size of the mana heart..
But now?
The situation was just the opposite back then..
“Kueup!”
Pipit-!
coughing violently.
Drops of blood came out of Lloyd's mouth..
This was because the undead mastodon's mana was too cloudy, dirty, and rough..
“……Ugh!”
It was not the mana of a living creature..
It was the mana of a dead and rotting being..
It was unclean and corrupted mana that even received the protection of evil necromancy..
It was probably the thinnest type of mana in the world..
Of course, a serious blow was dealt to the body that accepted it..
Gradually, steadily!
Even in the midst of a trance, Lloyd gritted his teeth..
It hurts so much, it hurts so much that I get goosebumps all over my body..
I barely endured the pain as my whole body convulsed..
Maintained absorption.
The more corrupted and unclean mana he absorbed, the more every part of his body experienced indirect death..
rattly!
My heartbeat became irregular.
Ventricular fibrillation occurred..
heart muscle spasms.
Myocardial infarction constricted my chest..
Then my muscles finally regained their composure..
It was the same with the respiratory system..
“Seuheup… … Cough!”
The bronchi that caused asthma suddenly narrowed..
My breathing became heavy, and reddish heat bloomed all over my face..
The alveoli in the lungs were necrotic but were barely recovered..
Such a phenomenon occurred throughout the body..
Ulcers have developed inside the spasming stomach.
Gallstones were formed in the gallbladder in an instant. The bile duct was blocked. Bile refluxed. Bile accumulated in the liver. Bilirubin in bile accumulated in liver tissue.
Jaundice occurred. Liver tissue was destroyed in real time. The tissue has become fibrotic. It was a symptom of rapidly developing liver cirrhosis..
Paralysis also occurred in the muscles. protein is destroyed.
Osteoporosis and arthritis developed in the bones..
the blood deteriorates.
Lymph flows back.
Nerve tissue is broken.
The cartilage has worn away and disappeared..
Just like that, Lloyd's body was half dead in real time..
Then Lloyd's body rebelled..
Mana Heart has been activated to its maximum level..
Restores damaged tissues and restores body abnormalities.
destruction and regeneration.
death and resurrection.
The repetition, which was like quenching, unexpectedly presented Lloyd with a training opportunity..
“Ugh... … Big!”
My whole body twitches like a trembling aspen tree..
Breathing heavily to endure the pain.
Even in the midst of a trance, it was so painful..
It was indescribable how uncomfortable it was..
But the process itself became training for him..
This is what training is all about..
The ultimate goal of training is not to become stronger..
Neither developing nor progressing is the true purpose of cultivation..
The true purpose of practice is to face discomfort..
Therefore, those who continue to train their minds and ascetics who endure austerity accept the harsh process without hesitation..
discomfort in my body.
A feeling of discomfort in my heart.
Respiratory, psychiatric, and memory discomfort.
Likewise, all the discomfort that entangles the body and mind.
Discovering discomfort through daily practice.
Facing the discomfort faced like that.
Acknowledge the discomfort as it is.
Accept the acknowledged discomfort.
Finally embracing it, embracing it, melting it into my own..
So we continue our journey to discover the next level of discomfort..
That is the true purpose of training.
becoming stronger.
progressing.
getting better.
All results are only by-products of the path toward the goal..
In that sense, today, Lloyd was unexpectedly engaged in true training, regardless of his intentions..
This was because I was placed in a series of unprecedentedly extreme and radical discomforts, and had to repeatedly overcome them..
“Big… … 100 million…….”
Heavy breathing like moaning.
I desperately embraced the pain inside..
If he had been sane.
If only I had been conscious at all.
It was absolutely impossible.
However, another skill option he possessed made this superhuman endurance possible..
Ding dong.
[Mana Heart skill option ③: Trance is activated.]
[60You will enter a trance-like state for seconds and become blindly focused on a single goal..]
The trance option was activated just in time..
It was from then on..
Lloyd's expression became calm..
I endured the pain itself and continued rapid charging..
Extremely unclean, murky, and corrupted undead mana..
I accepted all that energy as is and made it my own..
At the same time, his manahat expanded further..
Ding dong!
[The level of Mana Heart skill has increased..]

[Exclusive options for skills you have: ① Shock Cancellation ② Unstoppable Invulnerability ③ Ecstasy]

[RP you currently own : 2,870]
Mana Heart skill level rose in an instant.
It didn't end there.
It was just the starting point of unstoppable growth.
Messages appeared one after another before his tightly closed eyelids..
The level of Mana Heart skill has risen like a storm..
4From level to level 5.
5Beyond the levels to levels 6 and 7.
8, 9Jump through the levels to level 10.
Finally, I even surpassed the low level 10 barrier..
Ding dong!

[Skill-only option ④:……]
It was then.
Suddenly, a new emergency message came in..
The skill information message was instantly covered..
Ding dong!
[Asurahan's mind skill option ⑤: The activation time of rapid charge has ended..]
Kiyi……!
The Mana Circle, which was running wild with an emergency message, has become quiet..
The violent spinning momentum gradually subsided..
The vicious and ravenous mana absorption has ended..
Whiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
the wind blew.
An absorption space with a radius of 7 meters centered around Lloyd..
The wind took away the dust that had accumulated on the floor..
Just 5 minutes.
In the meantime, dozens of undead mastodons that had been running towards him had lost their mana, leaving nothing but dust, crumbling into dust..
But behind that dusty wind.
An ominous silhouette appears.
“Quooook!”
There were still over a hundred undead mastodons left..
Because the canyon is narrow.
You can only attack one at a time.
5This is because it was not possible to absorb the entire group in just a short period of time..
“Quoo Ok!”
Those who were not caught in the range of the vicious rapid charge burned with murderous intent..
He rushed towards Lloyd, who was still sitting on the floor..
“Wow!-!”
Thump thump thump thump!
The earth shook.
4Meter-sized undead beasts attacked without hesitation..
Until then, Lloyd just sat there calmly..
There was no protection whatsoever..
He didn't seem to have any intention of getting up and running away..
At least it seemed that way, until Lloyd slowly opened his eyes..
That's why.
“Podong! Podo-dong!”
Podong, who sensed that things were going out of the ordinary, moved..
Lloyd's warning to never approach me came to mind, but I couldn't help it..
If things continue like this, I think Lloyd will get stepped on by Mastodon..
I think that's the only thing that should be prevented.
I ran forward without any hesitation..
Passed by Lloyd and attempted to headbutt the Mastodon..
No, I was going to try..
If Lloyd's voice hadn't been heard at that moment,.
It would have rushed at over a hundred mastodons without hesitation..
“Podong, stop.”
“……kiss?”
calm voice.
Podong paused..
Lloyd was already opening his eyes..
I was just staring at the undead mastodon in front of me..
But it was a strange thing.
“Quoo Ok?”
The charging undead mastodon hurriedly stopped in place..
I just made eye contact with Lloyd..
As if struck by lightning.
Or, it seemed as if he was gripped by endless fear..
That wasn't all.
“……Quoooook!”
Starting with the lead mastodon, the entire herd stopped charging..
At that moment, a new message appeared before Lloyd's eyes..
[Manaheart skill option ④: Undead domination is activated.]
