2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

Episode 86. 23. Vigue of Red Flame (3)

Red-inflammatory magic.

The magic of one-man victory, which has been handed down from generation to generation, was as powerful as Salamander, the spirit of fire, even 1,000 years ago. However, the explosion of a dimension 1,000 years ago completely cut off the link with the Spirits, leaving only half of the Red Flame's magic.

People say.

Elisha is a genius who can handle fire freely even in a world without spirits.

But Elisha herself knew exactly that her strength was half the size. The inherent control of fire was so strong that it was possible to implement the magic of measles to a certain extent, but it was not comparable to the legend handed down from generation to generation. So there was always a question. Poseidon would not be in a different situation from himself, but he was reportedly recreating the magic of "the days of the Spirit."

However, it did not relate to the spirit.

To be exact, there was an inevitable basis.

"Poseidon is now one of the world's leading cannabis. In his magic, there was a time when many people wondered how Poseidon had a strong grip on water. But no one thought of a contract with the Spirit. Why do you think people would do that? Because the explosion 1,000 years ago cut the link with the Spirits? It was precisely affected by the explosion, but the problem at the time didn't just end up with a broken link.”

Spiritual Wizards.

Those who pursued the magic of spirits, such as scarlet inflammation and wall waves, joined forces due to accidents in the spirit world.

They did everything they could.

I found out why the spirits and the links were broken, and as a result I learned the truth.

"The link was cut off because the Spirits fell to a faraway place beyond the reach of this world. So no matter how much we talk to them, the spirits couldn't respond to our call. I assure you, the Spirit does not exist in the world anymore. If I did, my forefathers would somehow have found a way to connect with them.”

In fact, a thousand years ago, spirits magic did not need a complicated process.

Even without the difficult skill of separation of attributes, certain circles could be formed through a contract with the Spirits.

But with the disconnection of the Spirits and links, the Spirit Wizards had to find a new way. So it was the use of attribute separation. After numerous trials and errors, they found a magic that produced a force similar to the magic of spirits through the separation of attributes, and they maintained a one-man victory. Originally, if separation of the contract attributes of the spirit was a normal tech tree, the process of contracting the spirit has disappeared.

So I couldn't believe it.

Poseidon also found a new method of property control, and did not think it was due to spirits.

"You see now? What nonsense did you say? So stop talking and get lost. I'd love to burn you down, but I'm holding you back with superhuman patience for the sake of my affection in the battlefield.”

in a fit of anger

in a blaze of anger

A fire broke out around her.

According to her feelings of strong control of fire, the mana of fire responded by itself.

However, Kang's reaction was calm.

I've heard what's been going on through her, but it only helps me understand and doesn't change the outcome.

"Are you done talking?"

"Didn't you hear me? Get out!"

"You can decide that after I'm done talking. I said I would teach you how to sign a contract with a spirit in exchange for the magic of measles. This is a promise. Since it's my suggestion, I'll first show you how to sign a contract with the Spirits. I don't think Elisha has any losses. If I tried and lied, I wouldn't blame you for burning me with the mana of the flames that I just started."

"......what?"

Elisha was embarrassed.

Transaction

Kang Min-hyuk put on a very convincing condition.

If Elisha's concern is the authenticity of the Spirits contract, then it's settled if she confirms it first.

"But if."

Sreuk.

Kang Min-hyuk pulled out the sword.

A sharp spirit hung over Elisha's neck coolly.

"If you break your promise even after accepting my deal and confirming the existence of the Spirits Agreement, then I can't give you my senior's courtesy. That's what a deal is. You have to show them how certain the price of failure is, so that next time you don't see a deal as a joke."

I meant it.

Elisha swallowed dry saliva as she was about to cut off one arm.

"So what would you do?"

an alternative choice

Do you accept or reject it.

If he chooses the latter, Kang will turn back without hesitation.

But that won't happen.

If the magic of one person's victory had a long history, the desire for the source would be as strong.

"...I get it. I accept your deal."

Eventually, Elisha succumbed.

Kang Min-hyuk told me how to do it.

"As you said, the spirit world and this world are far away. That's why you need strong control over certain properties, and it doesn't matter much to you who formed the circle of flame properties. What I'm talking about now is a magic team that connects with the Spirits, and there are coordinates in it."

The method was simple.

However, finding the "coordinates" of the spirit world was the most difficult thing.

Elisha followed as Kang Min-hyuk said, and after setting up a magic crew, he raised a mana of flames to start the contract.

Let's do that.

in a blaze of anger

Flames rose.

The Magic Circle lit a red light, and Elisha's spirit disappeared beyond the dimensions. Spiritual contracts are not physical deals. a straight trade of mind Elisha's body existed in a magic circle swaying to Manaro, but her spirit had left for the Spirits far from here.

momentary time

Elisha's face turned pale and broke into a cold sweat.

At that moment, Mana was recalled again, and she opened her eyes.

Huayak

"Ha, ha, ha."

Elisha gasped.

In Kang Min-hyuk's point of view, it seemed to her that she had experienced a lot.

"Well, I failed the contract with the Spirits.”

failure

It's an unexpected variable.

I thought it would be a success if I were as friendly as Elisha.

In fact, the reason for doing business with Elisha is to find out the "rain of measles," but it was also intended to watch the precedent of Elisha before Kang Min-hyuk experimented with it himself. Spiritual contracts are spiritual transactions. There is a high risk of experimentation because it is an incomplete possibility that even Cleeseman is not sure of.

This is a deal.

Kang Min-hyuk only gets a lot in return for meeting Elisha's needs.

"Why did you fail?”

"As you say, this magic crew goes to the Spirits. The problem is... the Spirits were completely different from what I heard. According to the "memory" that has been handed down from generation to generation, the spirit system is the same place as heaven, where natural forces are abundant and individual properties have blossomed. But what I saw was hell. The Spirits were completely ruined, and the Salamander who found me screamed and fired.”

Elisha trembled with fear.

She has a strong grip on fire.

She was assimilated into Salamander's feelings, and she immediately sympathized with the fear she felt.

"What the hell happened? Spirits were afraid of 'monsters'. They were also threatened by monsters just like us. Answer me. What the hell happened to the Spirits?”

"That's..."

Even Kang Min-hyuk doesn't know this.

In Kang Min-hyuk's world, the spirit was nothing but a monster, and I learned for the first time today that it was the spirit itself.

an unanswerable question

At that moment, Kang Min-hyuk's head opened wide.

scattered pieces of puzzle

It wasn't the shape of the whole, but it completed some of the paintings.

Spirit

Looking back at the history they appeared in the Ganghwa civilization, we could find a certain system in them.

'The Spirits always showed up at the Red Gate. When a level crack occurred, they attacked everything around them as if they were scared. I thought it was simply a monster's rage, but maybe there was a complicated situation we didn't know.’

A long time ago.

A-class monster Salamander appeared and burned the Seoul Forest.

People defeated Salamander and built the hope of the Hunter Academy on the ruined land.

There have been many such cases since then.

A-class monster Undine, inspired by Wayne LaPierre, also saw hunters attack the area indiscriminately. Come to think of it, there was something in common. Spirits did not distinguish between children. If there are monsters in the process of attacking humans, they are also attacking together.

One possibility.

There was a new possibility that had never been recognized before.

'If, as Elisha said, the Spirits are under the threat of monsters, they may have expressed strong anger not only for humans but also for monsters. Salamander burned the Seoul Forest. People thought it was simply a saladman's expression of his power, but it turned out there were countless dungeons under the Seoul Forest. What if the dungeon provoked Salamander's anger? The incident that burned down the entire Seoul Forest could be a revenge for the monsters who attacked the Spirits.’

It is not true.

It is only a hypothesis that the whole picture is not yet completed, and can only be inferred with a few puzzles.

Kang Min-hyuk said.

"Maybe you're right. Two thousand years ago, there was a crack, and a monster appeared in the world, and at the same time, the spirit world appeared to people. I can fully understand that the spirits at that time had hostility toward humans. From the Spirit's point of view, human beings must have been strangers, too. But maybe the explosion 1,000 years ago caused them to experience the same disaster as us. From the day the connection to the Spirits was completely cut off, they were threatened by monsters."

"...you mean we're not the only ones going through this disaster?”

Disaster

From Elisha's point of view, it was bound to be shocking.

These demonic monsters that threaten the world threaten not only this world but also the spirit world.

Unlike her, Kang quickly accepted that fact. Isn't the world where Kang Min-hyuk lives also threatened by monsters? Knowing the reality of the two worlds already, it was easy to accept that another world was threatened. The people of Ganghwa civilization defined spirits as monsters, but it may be that humans died in the fury of the spirit that lost reason.

It's not a perfect hypothesis.

If the Spirits were in such a precarious situation, the existence of Poseidon was full of questions.

How did Poseidon perfect the magic of spirits? Did he know the coordinates of the Spirits like I did, and succeeded in persuading the angry spirits to sign the contract? His existence is a mystery. Whenever I see him, I need to check the facts he knows.’

For now.

Now is important.

The hypothesis was put together to some extent, but no clear answer was given.

But the deal was already signed, and Kang had the right to ask for a price because he kept his promise.

"As promised, I told you how to sign a contract with the Spirit. Signing a contract to appease the angry spirit is a matter for Elisha from now on. So it's time to fulfill your promise. Please let me know the secret of Hong Yum, the magic of one-man victory."

Elisha.

She's got nothing.

Although the contract of the Spirit was a failure, the moment I saw the spirit world, which I knew only as a legend, I had already made up my mind.

"Okay, I'll let you know."

Red-inflammatory magic.

The one-man rule will end today.
