I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 17

Chapter 17

Sparks of electricity coiled between magic circles like snakes. Song Hoon took the mana cube, extended his hand forward, and said loudly:

– As the lord of mana, I command you: activate the magic circle!

[Skill “Activate” acquired]

The electricity from the magic circle, cast in pure gold, was transformed in an instant into deep blue mana. And then Sung Hoon entered the circle.

“So, I converted electricity to mana,” he said contentedly. – Now all that remains is to absorb it!

Holding the mana cube tightly in his hands, Song Hoon shouted,

– Penetrate me!

Mana spun around him like a funnel and quickly began to be absorbed by Song Hoon’s body. The guy began to glow like some kind of deity.

[Mana increased by 0.01]

[Mana increased by 0.01]

[Mana increased by 0.01]

[Mana increased by 0.01]

Sung Hoon grinned.

The guy was very happy with the constantly pop-up messages on the system screen.

***

15 days later.

– Modern technologies still bear fruit. In a past life, I would have had to work very hard to create a magic circle. “He rubbed Sung Hoon’s hands.

Smiling, he looked at his status on the system screen.

[ Name: Lee Sung Hoon

Race: Human

Profession: trainee magician

Level Granted: 12

Strength: 18

Stamina: 21

Dexterity: 22

Mana: 160 (100 + 60)

Luck: 35

Bonus Points: 0]

“Mana is now 160 units. In fifteen days I filled 32 units. That is why knowledge is so valuable. ”

Song Hoon was still in the room with the magic circles, but since he had already de-energized them, the light from them was gone.

– So, the next step …

Song Hoon sat down cross-legged in the meditation position often used by yogis. Then he locked his fingers together. His body began to glow. This magical light, like fog or light haze, slowly dissipated around him. A wide ring began to form over the guy’s head.

A certain halo, just like a real angel, descended to the level of Song Hoon’s heart. Now the guy was inside this ring.

Suddenly, the shining circle began to slowly diminish. It seemed to be absorbed into Song Hoon’s body, and then completely disappeared.

– Uh-uh-uh … – the guy sighed.

He quickly opened his eyes.

“With this, I can now create double spells.

Song Hoon felt a second circle of mana form inside. He resonated and could combine two magic into one. This process was called “double spell”. Each time a new circle was formed, the level of the magician increased. In a past life, he was able to create nine such circles, which made him a genius superior to the average person.

[Another Mana Circle Created]

[You have reached Rank 2]

Song Hoon deleted the late warning messages and thought with his arms crossed over his chest.

– Hmm … If you constantly use electricity, then within a month you can become the third rank. With him, you can create a familiar for yourself, which will allow you to hunt alone. Under the contract, general hunts will take place approximately twice a month …

During the year it was necessary to participate in 24 hunts. Contract duration: two years. There are 48 hunts to attend, but Sung Hoon thought he would join the HD Group race team a year later.

Because HD Group had a plan to include him in the race team when his level reaches at least 40. Although his level is rising rapidly now, after the 30th this process will be much more difficult.

Of course, Sung Hoon was not an ordinary awakened one. Becoming stronger at the expense of his own strength, he applied knowledge from a past life. Thus, the guy increased the speed of his progress.

– Well well. Again habits from the old life. ” The thoughtful Song Hoon clicked his tongue and shook his head. – I decided to live this life leisurely. Don’t be in a hurry. Yes, you need to live slowly. Play games. There is delicious food. Shout, – muttering this text, the warrior rose from his seat.

And then the phone in my pocket rang.

– Yes? Song Hoon picked up the phone.

“This is Kim Tae Hyun’s manager,” a voice said.

– Ah, hello Tae Hyun. How are you? Something happened?

– You need to visit the hunt. The team will be the same as last time.

– Team Alpha? Sung Hoon asked just in case.

– Yes.

– What time?

– Will it suit you in five days?

– Yes of course. Is the place the same?

– To her.

– Then see you, – the guy hung up.

***

For five days, Song Hoon was absorbing mana. In fact, if there were more electricity, he could absorb mana even faster. But in this way the body could be damaged.

Because the amount of mana that the body can absorb at one time had its limit. If you improve your body, you can absorb it much faster.

Song Hoon certainly knew about this method. But for such training and improvement, it was necessary to reach at least the third rank.

This is no longer the trainee magician level. At this moment, you become a real magician. From the fifth grade – an average magician, and from the seventh – a great magician. The one who uses the seven spells is no longer human. If all preparations are completed, then the great magician can be called a walking nuclear weapon. After all, using his magic, it costs him nothing to make a real nuclear explosion.

And without radiation. For example, such an explosion can destroy one city. Therefore, in a past life, they took especially seriously the protection of the main cities.

For five days, Song Hoon consumed two units of mana per hour, and so on for ten hours. As a result, one hundred mana units were added.

For the other awakened ones, this was unattainable speed. If you look at the amount of mana, then this is approximately level 40. And this was not due to the system, but due to Sung Hoon’s own powers.

– Oh-oh-oh … It seems that you have become stronger.

In the office where the briefing was held last time, there was a tank called Kim Do Jin, who arrived earlier than anyone else. These were his first words when he saw Song Hoon.

“ Yes, I did a little practice, ” Boyfriend Song Hoon replied modestly.

– Did you train? Have you taken part in the hunt? The tank asked.

– I have my own methods. By the way, how did you know? It seems that this is not particularly striking.

– This is one of my skills. It is called “animal instinct”. I can see the strength of others.

Initially, this skill was required by animals to avoid large predators.

“A fairly useful skill.”

Akasha system. It is undoubtedly divine power. Otherwise, it would be impossible to provide the public with such unlimited power.

“But what is the logic? The Divine undoubtedly possesses unlimited power, but it will not influence the world without any reason. And is it connected with the appearance of the portal on Earth? ” Sung Hoon thought.

– This time I’m not the first! – Suddenly, Min Ye Young, with a lively look, burst into the office.

– Oh, did you come?

“Haven’t seen each other for a long time,” Kim Do Jin and Song Hoon greeted her.

– Greetings! – answered the girl, smiling radiantly.

Behind her, other team members entered the office. Park Jin Suk, Lee Jin Soo, and Shin Sang Jin came in together. A few minutes later, the manager, Kim Tae Hyun, showed up.

“This time the hunt will take place in this area.

“Apart from Kim Do Jin, no one knows that I have become stronger.”

Song Hoon watched the others closely as he listened to the briefing. In fact, the guy knew a lot about the monster that was being talked about. This is because he was a bait for a long time, so the guy did not particularly delve into the briefing, but watched the expressions on the faces of those present. They didn’t know for sure that his mana had increased.

“Compared to last time, my mana has tripled, but they couldn’t feel it. And there is a small problem in this … ”

While he was thinking about it, the others slowly got up from their seats. The briefing was over.

***

– New skill?

– Yes.

– Wow …

All arrived at the hunting site. And just like the last time, Song Hoon revealed that he had acquired a new skill prior to the act. Unprecedented surprise was read on the faces of those present.

“Still, it’s better to use paralysis like last time.

This was expected. Of course, it is more effective to use paralysis, because it helps the team. Everyone nodded in response.

– By the way, last time I wanted to ask: Song Hoon, how often can you use this “paralysis” and how much does it recharge? Asked Kim Do Jin.

– Paralysis can be used once per second. Considering the mana level, that’s about a hundred times a day. ” Song Hoon dutifully replied, but thought to himself.

“A single spell can be used almost limitlessly if you have a cube of mana. But it is not necessary to talk about it in such detail. ”

– Hundred times?!

– Oh … How much mana do you have? Or do you have such good skills?

Everyone had a startled expression on their faces. It was obvious. Usually, the awakened skill can be used up to 50 times per day. In order to use it more often, you need to increase the amount of mana.

– I wanted to ask you something else: what is your mana regeneration rate?

– And you?

Kim Do Jin immediately answered Sung Hoon’s counter-question:

– About a week.

– Pretty fast, ajussi! Min Ye Young chimed in.

– And you have? Do Jin said to the girl.

“If I use up all my mana it will take about ten days. But usually I don’t spend everything.

Do Jin nodded upon hearing her answer.

“It’s clear business. They can usually go hunting two or three times a month. I’ve seen this many times while I was bait. But I have a different case. ”

Do Jin looked at the other team members.

“Mana regeneration naturally takes three days. But if I use magic circles, then in about a few hours I can fully recover, “thought Song Hoon.

Suddenly, Lee Jin Soo interrupted their conversation:

“ If you think so, since Song Hoon can use paralysis, then we don’t need to use our skills so often, right?

Everyone was surprised by this unexpected question.

“You can try right now,” Kim Do Jin told him, and everyone nodded in agreement.
