Birth of a Great Disciple
Squeeaal! SQUEAAAAAAL!
“Mommy!”
Thu-thu-thu-thu-thump!
This is when one would use the saying, ‘always be modest’
I had been quite encouraged by ic had risen to the 2nd Circle this fast before But upon experiencing the bitter hell that started after I got dropped off in a rather thick forest, I started crying As e’s words of fuuuck
There weren’t any rabbits I could catch with ry, and for a moment I had lost my sanity
‘I’m a crazy bastard! Graaah!’
I could feel an ieration, but there was a boar the size of a bull running towards htly roasted by ic
There was no use to being a 2nd Circle Mage I was s and mana levels were not proportionate
‘Ah, not even a dagger but a club! Gaaah!’
Even as I ran like crazy, I tasted the feeling of being driven to insanity as I looked at the wooden club in ree blackbelt or a kumdo 3-dan was no use With such abacon were the essence of horror
‘I’ll die like this!’
This full-course wilderness adventure, which I was experiencing for the first tietting hoofstomped by a boar, I looked for a way to survive
‘I’m saved!’
Just then, perhaps by the grace of the e boulder appeared in my view
Juuump!
I kicked the ground forcefully and flung my body on top of the boulder
Crash!+
“Geh!”
At the saht up to me crashed into the boulder due to inertia
‘A-a!’
I felt an incredible vibration under my feet If I had been rammed by that boar it would have been difficult to even find a shoe in the carnage
SQUEAL! SQUEAL! SQUEAAAAAAAL!
The valiant Mr Boar was perfectly fine even after ra at me with brown, bloodshot eyes as I shi+vered all over, atop the rock
Just like I had thought of the bastard as meat, I was definitely a meal in its eyes
‘Isn’t this too ic is this?’
There were three parts totrained all three parts perfectly for the 2nd CircleMaster had said that 2nd CircleBut h to blacken the boar’s sturdy hide and bristles
‘For my current 2nd Circle mana level, even if I can’t kill that boar, it should haveuncoree burns… argh! What in the world is Master hiding from me! Gaaah!’
The ansas clear
It was definitely the liic circle which used Chinese-made crystals, and had started with an insufficient foundation
Flop
SQUEAL! SQUEAL!
‘Have- have you ever seen such a shi+tty bastard!’
While I had briefly been in thought, the boar had laid down on its belly under the 2the fervent intent to gnaw and chomp on my bones
‘I have to find a way, a way!’
After a , all that was left of me were muscles and bones, so my state of nutrition couldn’t even be compared to the boar’s stored fat reserves I had an oer in a day and fling myself at the boar
‘Wait, now that I think of it…’
Before droppingThat there was nothing you could do about the size of your mana field, it was limited to what you were destined to have
‘Even if I’hmana in the lower, middle, and upper danjeons that are collectively called the mana field, so of course the mana level I can show is pretty low’
Also, Master had said I had completed the 2nd Circle, but he hadn’t told me exactly how much the 2nd Circle mana level was
‘That evil, pathetic, petty, sicko, old fart bumdalf!’
A stream of curses noisily spewed out within me
‘It was called ht?’
I hadic circle I suddenly recalled themantra that Master had carefully translated to Korean, and had explained to me in detail
“If I can channel the diffused rilled pork bastard will…”
That bull-sized boar had tested the hu fiercely, I closed my eyes
‘Just wait a bit I’ll definitely turn you into a roast’
My anger subsided as I sat down crosslegged
‘One beca, and the five ele Each of the five elements became distinct from one another, and…’
As I recited the mantra inbecay of Mother Nature— I was
Unbelievably enough, Master had drawn ic I now filled that channel with the energy ofas I opened it
This was all to give that boar, who reminded me of my malicious master, a trip to heaven
I, Kang Hyuk, was such a man
When being petty, I was incredibly petty But when I was being generous, reater than the Pacific Ocean I was a reckless child capable of both a devil and an angel
That was me
“Huuh…”
Witnessing so it with his own eyes, Aidal forgot he was under invisibility ic and exclaimed out loud
It was a very strange feeling to watch a rare genius who easily graspedAt one point in his life, Aidal had been known as the greatest enius on the Kallian Continent He had never expected to find a genius far h it was true that Kang Hyuk’s ic circle’swith that alone
‘That guy… from birth, he has been a child of mana’
The grand e of the 7th Circle or greater Those who received the ain a body and mana field that could hold pureof the body, your wisdo you to live a se
But no es did not carelessly cast this ic Mana Clear did not use mana from nature, but with the recipient’s own mana, and was impossible to use otherwise So quite a lot of mana would be lost In the worst case scenario, the recipient’s circle could even collapse
Aidal had used that grandHyuk for a whole month as he slept
‘If it’s you, you’ll be able to do it Don’t lose your willpower Kang Hyuk, my disciple There’s not much time left now’
Kallian Continent, which he wanted to go to but couldn’t
Even beforethe ascetic monk, Aidal had wandered the world like crazy in order to return to the Kallian Continent The Diic circle consuone to place after place, seeking a location where pure athered
While bearing his iiveness frole sentence fro ascetic monk
Life and death have no boundaries That no e
There was no way the Kallian Continent would welco left for him to do there Therefore, the Earth, which he had suffered to travel through on foot, felt like home to him
But he absolutely wanted to get his revenge on those who had rettable to let his o to the Kallian Continent and let each and every person know of the enlightenh his disciple, the disciple of the Golden-Eyed Reaper Aidal who had challenged the 9th Circle that no one except the dragon had been allowed in all of history
That’s why Aidal coic circle
And through aa new method of dimensional travel In the meantime, he set up an illusion barrier in the Golden Lane, which felt like the Kallian Continent, and fished for a disciple to do the hard work for him
‘I wonder if that guy is doing well That blockhead!’
Actually, Kang Hyuk wasn’t his first disciple About 20 years ago, there was one other guy who had happened to break through the barrier and meet him But that bastard was close- for his ic, the bastard had tried to murder him Aidal had wanted to burn him to death with a Fire Ball, but he had been unable to kill him since the bastard had fallen to his knees and bashed his forehead on the ground in a kohile begging Aidal to spare his life The fact that he was the first disciple Aidal had gotten on the Earth ic anyways, so he wasn’t er
‘Kang Hyuk, you’ll be able to do it I, yourtechnique, but you’ll definitely be able toof your mana field!’
He was old, but Aidal was a Mage to the verythe internal chi channeling left to him by the ascetictechnique
However, Aidal wasn’t able to use it Because he was already an 8th Circle Mage, his mana field had stationed itself in the middle danjeon and was far more powerful than the other fields If he forcefully tried to e his mana fields now, the disparity in poould make all the other mana fields explode
That’s why the ht noas a new method that no one else had tried before
It was the beginning of a great path that even the legendary dragon had never challenged
‘I did it!’
I wasa lullaby for me as a child
With the end, as the base, theone with nature
And with the strengthening of athered in h weakly
Snooooooore!
Snooooooore!
Having trapped e It was happily sleeping with its belly carelessly left out in the open
‘Jeez! This boar looked down on a hu Hyuk, I shall punish you!’
As I chanted a sentence fit for a Sailor Moon girl who liked to punish evil in the naathered my mana in the middle danjeon, where the circle was
“My blazing will, e In my name, rain down the purification of fire!”
I focused ic incantation with a low voice
Modified by the mana inside me, and my will, the pure shamanistic mana that was diffused in nature was manifested in the world
That was how ic was used
The boar’s eyes flashed open Living while surrounded by nature, aniy As soon as I drew the nearbyand opened its eyes Having enjoyed a nice rest, the boar’s fatigue had floay Thanks to this bastard I had been stuck wrestling mana for half a day — how pitiful I was
“Get fried, you piece of crap pig! Fire Ball!”
Woosh
As soon the incantation of ‘Fire Ball’ fell froathered in orously
[T/N: As a reminder, the lower danjeon is in the abdomen, middle is in the heart, and upper is near the crown of the head]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-boom!
As the vibrations stopped, a huge lump of fire somehow appeared above the boar’s head
“Wow!”
Though I was the caster, I was e lu 50 centiic that I had cast so far look as shabby as gum stuck on the sidewalk
Ba-baaaaam!
Foooooshhh
SQUEAAAAAAAAL!
Have I ever seen a boar get hit by lightning under a clear sky? The boar that had futilely dared to target a human as its meal was struck with divine retribution It ran into the dark forest like a bastard struck by lightning
Craash!+
SQUEAAAAAL~!
And just like that, it ra behind it’s woeful death throes
“Puhahahahaha! That’s right! This is how it should be!”
Standing atop the boulder and looking at the sky, I burst out with vigorous laughter
The destructive power of a 2nd Circle reat achieve the little mana I had
I was a rare genius sent down from the heavens
“Huh?”
Stagger
But suddenly, the sky whirled and spun above me
Trickle
So burst out from my nose and trickled down
‘D-damn it…’
My delight was short-lived Due to the iue that crashed into ht then and there
‘Ah~ my boar…’
The afterie of the Fire Ball roasted boar barbeque came to my mind, and then—
Crash!+
“Tsk, tsk”
He had thought it ht happen, but a proble atop the rock Aidal hadHyuk had fallen two meters onto the dirt floor and had passed out
And in that ic and appeared while clicking his tongue
“You stupid rascal To be so happy after forcefullymana the size of an Orc’s tail Huhu How does it feel, the hot taste of mana exhaustion?”
The state of mana exhaustion which you would experience one or two tie It was a state that occurred when you used mana that exceeded the amount you had At low circles, it didn’t have that much of an effect, but in the upper circles, this condition could induce a mana collapse and kill you
“Your first experience with it is always that harsh Heh”
Aidal didn’t spare his unconscious,disciple a friendly explanation or advice
His eyes fell upon the boar, which was stea as it cooked
“That looks quite tasty Kuku”
“Th-that meat!”
I was in stabbing pain, as if I had been knocked out by someone’s club But even while half asleep within that pain, a fragrant s a me up
That sweet and rich smell, which could wake the dead
The very first thing I saw upon opening e, plump piece of meat
Om nom
Without even answeringnoisily as he ripped into a hind leg
‘No matter how you look at it, that’s the srilled pork that I had long ago’
The fact that ’s could was a well-known fact a level sense of se the meat
‘The saying that the disciple reaps and the master sows fits this situation perfectly’
The greateaten all alone by Master bu the ht
“Ma- of?”
“Munch! Oh? Nomnom! I dunno Perhaps because the Gods knew y these days, a boar roast was presented before me, can you believe it? I was so moved, my eyes were filled with tears, just like when I was fifteen and saw the panties of the fee I liked”
Even when ar analogies that seriously lowered the value of a person
True to his naht of indecency
“Did that boar not have any traces of having been hit by a Fire Ball, by any chance?”
“A Fire Ball? I dunno about such a thing Only that when I saw it, it had roasted to perfection Kyaa! I’ve never seen such a tasty fello could the hum wine, absolutely killer”
Driiiip
Without knowing it, saliva dripped from my mouth
By my estimation, I had starved for at least a day No matter what, I had to claim ownershi+p of this boar meat and overcome this crisis
“Master, it is presumptuous of ht withnow and cede it to your disciple— this one humbly tells you that this is the best way to prevent the relationshi+p between a ”
I mixed in respectful words as I claimed as mine
