Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Chapter 60

Imperial Horse Tower (2)

Lopilen, a wizard who holds the position of full professor at the Imperial Horse Tower, remained in place for a long time even after Rei disappeared.

Since the current location is at the beginning of the obelisk, the strength of the spatial distortion field was relatively weak.

If Rey was a high-ranking mage or possessed powerful artifacts, it was also possible to break through the space distortion field.

However, if you use magic or use artifacts inside the obelisk, you will be unconditionally detected.

If Rey had acted recklessly, he would have been caught right away.

‘What is it really?’

It is possible that a certain faction gathered capital and information to trick Obelisk’s security system and infiltrate Rey as a spy.

It was an unbelievable family when you think of Ray, who was leisurely strolling down the hallway even though he could hear his name.

‘It was the attitude that he had no idea what he had done…’

If that wasn’t acting for deception, what would have happened?

It could be that it was used as someone’s experimental tool without knowing it, or that it has an incredibly strong tolerance for spatial distortion.

Both hypotheses were hard to believe, but Lopilen had already witnessed the ‘phenomena’.

‘For sure… I want to get it.’

desire arose.

If Lopilen, an insider, had the means to deceive the space-distorting field like Rey, she could enter and exit most of the obelisk at will.

At some point, I didn’t know if I would be able to get in touch with the ‘Risilote Records’ that high-ranking people were tightly wrapped up in.

Lophilen, who shook her shoulders slightly, calmed her heart down slowly.

I had to find out about that Squire without getting excited right now.

It was necessary to understand the background and ability, and to confirm the reality of the technology that deceived the spatial distortion field.

Intimidation or conciliation was next.

Lopilen felt that her body was gone.

You have to take it first before other people take notice.

It was a very risky thing, but the Lisilote Records were worth risking their lives for.

‘Anyway, the life that has already been swept away, will it make any difference if I raise the stake more?’

A greedy gun gleamed through the thick dark circles.

As far as magic is concerned, Lopilen, who is said to have an obsession close to madness, began to pursue Rey.

A few more days passed after Rey stopped by the obelisk.

Contrary to Ray’s concerns, Alesia was rapidly expanding her friendships and living a fulfilling study abroad life.

Rey frowned after spying on the noble girls who were flocking with Alessia.

Alessia was suspiciously good with same-s*x friends.

Was it because the noble girls were soft in nature and accepted Alesia easily?

‘No way.’

As soon as she came to study abroad, would other nobles really appreciate Alesia, who stole the professors’ attention because she ministered to two unfamiliar spirits?

It could never be.

Ray, who was worried about dragging friends around the same age because he threw some rice cakes, then shook his head.

good was good

Rey, who had brushed off his thoughts, went to the dormitory and sat down on the floor.

For a few days, I was able to replenish my knowledge of circles a little more through the magic book.

Before reinforcing the theory further, Ray decided to check his body.

“Come on… let’s calm down and do it.”

Rey wiped her face with both hands.

Rey remembered a few years ago when he nearly died trying to increase the mana of his core a little.

It was a painful experience that I don’t want to go through again.

“Okay…”

Rey, who made a sound of pain, chose to breathe.

The core is located inside the heart. You can’t just inflate the core just to increase the amount of mana.

Ultimately, in order to increase the amount of mana in the body, the core must be compressed to a higher density.

Rey, who clenched his teeth, forcibly compressed the core of his heart.

Duck Duck Duck!

The core is compressed.

If Rey wanted to, he could compress it so densely that he could hide the core behind the tail of a mouse right now.

The problem was after compression.

Snuggle up!

The core is shaking.

A denser compressed core is usually more stable, but Ray’s was the other way around.

The higher the density, the more intensely the characteristic properties were revealed.

Tsuzui!

The boundaries of the dimension in which the core contains the body become blurred.

It separates the space where the core touches the depth dimension and transforms the surroundings into a kind of subspace.

My body couldn’t stand it when I was doing that shit in my heart.

“Creek!!”

Rey, who spit out blood, immediately unpacked the compressed core.

His chest was pounding like it was about to be ripped apart, and every time his heart beat, there was an excruciating pain.

“Uhhh…!! It looks like it’s going to explode, really…!”

Just in case, nothing has changed since a few years ago.

Rey, who barely stopped falling back, rotated her core, circulating mana throughout her body.

Rey, who gradually found stability, began to concentrate the mana that had been circulating on her right forearm.

His muscles were strengthened by mana, and his forearms overflowed with strength.

However, as the density of mana continues to increase.

The border of the forearm that was shining blue suddenly became blurred.

Bubbly!!

His skin exploded and blood was splattered everywhere.

Rey gripped her blood-soaked forearm, grinding her teeth to endure the pain.

“driving me crazy.”

It was a disaster that occurred when a space gap appeared around the forearm.

The metal was able to withstand this spatial separation phenomenon. Because it had a stable and stationary structure.

However, the body, composed of living and breathing cells, could not withstand the shock caused by the separation of spaces.

So it’s going to explode like this.

“No, what kind of mana is this?”

It was like putting a bomb in your body and living your life.

If you make a mistake and concentrate too much mana on a part of your body, it will explode right away.

Of course, he had to concentrate mana at a density close to Geojin Gumgang, but it was the same as being anxious.

‘It is said that if you infuse high-density mana all at once all over your body, you can survive…’

It was an attempt that could not even be dreamed of with a small amount of mana right now. If he tried and failed, he went straight to the Hwangcheon-gil.

For several years, Ray has been thinking about the issues related to the specificity of his core.

Can a circle around the heart act as a kind of controller to control the core?

If possible, it would be possible to achieve great development.

If there were any side effects, it should have been said that living for a long time was not enough.

‘Should I gamble to create a circle?’

Ray was used to putting his life on the stake.

However, the act of risking one’s life to become stronger did not meet Rey’s ‘standards’.

Rey’s goal was to guide talented children who are destined to be heroes or villains on the right path.

It means that the goal is not to risk your life to become strong and defeat the Demon King directly.

The door swung open while Ray was immersed in thought.

Checking the bloody room, Jenkinson frowned.

“Were there any intruders?”

“No. I’m doing some training.”

“Why are you practicing in the room?”

“There was no private training ground for knights in the Imperial Horse Tower.”

“Even if you do, you are calm. There is no place where there is no blood. How are we going to clean it all up?”

“I can’t help it. I’ll call the servants and order it.”

Ray replied lightly.

It’s all about saving the world, but I didn’t mean to feel sorry for trying to eat it from start to finish.

“Freeze, freeze magic…”

Rey, who entered the obelisk once again, stopped by the library where the magic books were gathered.

In the history books, it was written that Harsia was driven by a cold.

‘Is it just because Harcia enjoyed using freezing magic…’

Or was there some kind of reason?

Rey looked for a spell book containing the basics of freezing magic to get a hint.

“There it is.”

The magic book was stuck in the sloppy place of his arm.

When I stretched out my hand, it was a little lacking.

As Rey was applying strength to her legs to jump, someone stretched out a hand from behind and pulled out a book for her.

“Are you looking for this?”

Floria held out the magic book.

Rey nodded with a bitter face inwardly and took the book.

“Thank you.”

“Isn’t that a thank you face?”

“Because my face was originally harsh.”

Growing up, goddamn growing up, had to come quickly.

Most of the Freezing Spellbooks were embedded in the top corners, so Rey had to continue to seek help from Floria.

Rey, who finished borrowing the magic book in humiliation, left the library with Floria.

“Can I copy this and take it with me?”

“Nevertheless. If you still need help, please get help from me or Alesia. Even if you copy a few basic books and take them with you, I will close your eyes.”

“okay.”

If he couldn’t find Luna’s teacher, he had to copy even a few books.

Floria asked Ray, who looked thoughtful.

“Are you curious? It must be a study that you, as a knight, cannot use.”

“I’ve been interested in it for a long time. Magic is a mysterious and powerful science, isn’t it?”

“Fufu…”

Floria, who smiled brightly, held Ray’s book instead.

“If you have any questions, you can ask. You’re pretty knowledgeable about magic after all, right?”

“Ummm…”

Rey pondered for a moment and asked, examining the little pile of dusty books.

“Isn’t the freezing magic part of the mainstream?”

“It’s not very popular among elemental magic. Compared to other elemental magic, it’s probably…”

“Is the efficiency low?”

“Oh, that’s right. How did you know?”

Ray shrugged.

It was beaten based on the memories of a previous life.

This is because cooling is much less energy efficient than heating in terms of thermodynamics.

I didn’t really intend to put my engineering knowledge into magic, but the corners of my lips went up for a moment as an old memory came to mind.

Looking at Ray with a happy face, Floria continued.

“Relatively much more mana is required to cool fire magic with ice magic. When attacked with fire magic, it’s more effective to offset the power by shooting the same type of fire magic.”

“okay.”

“If the battlefield is full of water, the freeze magic can be used more powerfully, but in the end, it means that you are limited by the environment.”

“It must be unpopular.”

“People who are ignorant of magic call ice magic and mistake it for magic that creates ice. But the essence is…”

“It will stop.”

“That’s correct.”

Floria was slightly perplexed.

I knew that Rei was very capable and smarter than the original.

He was pointing out the essence of magic more sharply than expected.

From whom have you already learned the knowledge of magic?

Floria shook her head.

I didn’t think Rey was a human being who pretended to be insightful with what he had already learned.

Rey asked Floria to spread the fan and create a small breeze.

“Lady, can I ask you one more question?”
