Chapter 469 – 134. To the Realm of the Midnight Sun (3)
Woo woo woo woo-
Siertia made a resonant sound as if crying.
To the mana heart that made a complete void. Gathered mana.
Mana began to flow rapidly toward the center.
Gyyying-
The technique used was, of course, the Lucia method.
And I opened my eyes to a new level.
Why is it the current Lucia style, which is a fusion of Reinhardt and Orhain’s technique?
I could see why it was a good fit for me.
‘It’s not just to increase the acceleration of that mana absorption.’
At first, mana awakening was very late, although it was a seniority method I made for my growth.
Now I realize that the Lucia style is inevitable for me.
My maternal grandfather before I passed out. He told me as if he was surprised.
‘Julian. Surprisingly, you use the same mana as the cold-blooded demon lord.’
Of course, my maternal grandfather ever since I was little.
He absolutely forbade any mention of Riel, known as his biological father.
A very impure man who impregnated his only daughter whom he cherished. And in fact, his true identity was the Demon King.
There was a reason I didn’t want to mention it.
However, I found out through sparring with my maternal grandfather.
The cruel Demon Lord Lucifer. That my father was a grand master and a strong man that even my maternal grandfather, the first person in the empire, acknowledged.
And the way he handles mana.
The dominance that handles that demon. That even the method of dominance was identical to me.
During the confrontation, the maternal grandfather blurted out the fact.
‘I think I know what my grandfather’s words mean.’
To be precise, it was slightly different from Magi’s dominance.
Lucifer. That natural talent passed down from my father.
The source of all energy. Because it was a unique ability that handles mana specially.
‘A house of mana.’
It was.
The very ability that even Unir surprised me.
Whether it is the energy of nature, the energy of the body, or the divine power of God.
All forms of energy derived from mana. The ability to compress and concentrate to the extreme.
I possessed the power of family that was handed down from my father.
‘The proof is the Lucia style.’
Weeeee-
My body was vibrating along with Siertia.
The deepest mana shell. I can feel the mana being filled from the first level mana heart.
The first rank is the level of awakened people who have just felt the energy of mana.
But it was different.
[Even your 1st rank is special. It’s probably comparable to the 3rd tier of other awakened people.]
I nodded at Erti’s words.
‘Thanks to the complete emptying of mana. I can definitely feel the level of that mana.’
Polyhedral structure of the Reinhardt lineage.
And because of the spider web-like veins, the level of mana is doubled even in the same hierarchy.
But now the level of the ship was different.
The difference between a hierarchy is not a simple multiple. Because the gap is at the level of the square of that.
‘The power of home. Because of that, the absolute destructive power of mana is much stronger.’
It can be referred to as the difference in concentration or density.
Funny analogy though. When Americano coffee is put in a cup of the same size.
Weak coffee and strong coffee are much different in their bitterness.
Naturally, the concentrated mana was the latter.
‘Primary forest. It’s like the high concentration of mana that existed in the sunken lake there.’
I further sped up the absorption.
A mana heart that fills up quickly from the 1st rank. I quickly climbed to the 5th level.
‘Obviously the 5th rank. The level I held the most time in the Pantheon.’
2nd year 1st semester.
Chloe and Rosette, who were the strongest in the Pantheon at the time, were the first in the 6th hierarchy.
However, through Yuriel, I, who had awakened Mana only a month before school started.
After the Pantheon school started, he quickly entered the 5th rank.
Through the completion of the Lucia style and the awakening of Yonginhwa, she surpassed even Chloe and Rosette.
‘Yes. Lucia style. My mana practice.’
And when he entered the 5th hierarchy, the amount of mana was different.
If you want to fill the 5th tier from here and go to the 6th tier.
Lucia formula had to be used at a level of at least 70%.
Lucia’s as I thought before.
A new technique that draws out only the merits of the Reinhardt method and the Orhein method.
[You thought nothing of it. Creating a mana training method in the first place is proof that you are a genius of the century.]
Erti’s voice was heard.
But I had no intention of being arrogant. I focused more on the Lucia style.
‘Reinhardt’s huge amount of mana absorbed. And Orhain’s rapid mana absorption rate.’
And when the two are merged and organized.
The conclusion that came out was the house of Mana.
‘Like concentrating mana. It absorbs it rapidly so that it doesn’t constantly collapse.’
And I now know whose way this is.
Erti said I was a genius.
From the blood that actually exists in me. This Lucian-style instinct was passed on from the blood of his biological father.
‘That’s Lucifer’s way.’
Just as my mother’s legacy has led me to this day.
Clearly, the legacy of his father was also passed on.
6 tier. And finally the 7th level.
Woo woo woo woo-
The mana heart of the 7th tier, which is my current hierarchy. Mana entered all of them.
And the awakening of the hierarchy that can go to the 8th hierarchy at once.
‘Reverse.’
I applied maximum Lucia formula to that reverse factor.
***
The two of them. To be exact, the two spirits.
He was staring at the stage Yulian had just entered.
Oh oh oh oh-
The ice crystal was resonating.
Until now, the Ice Crypt had been constantly amplifying the power of the two Reinhardts.
The current resonance was different.
Bingjeong-dong. All the cryolite in that frozen cave. It was resonating with one person, Yulian.
“To the West… All the cryolite’s will is responding.”
Even Rumi, the spirit representing cryolite, was surprised.
“Atlindo. And it’s a phenomenon that Wilhelm didn’t have either…”
Ertido left Siertia for a while and came out. He was surprised to see it.
‘The power of the 8th hierarchy is awakening now.’
Siertia’s blade was shining.
Yulian hadn’t injected an aura into the sword yet.
Even so, the mana that Yulian himself had absorbed.
That concentrated pure mana.
Even Erti, the will of the sword, was creating a surprisingly strong mana pressure.
‘If the auror is refined in this state…’
Erti had already carried Atlin’s midnight sun with her body.
‘No matter how innate the lineage is. To enter the realm of the midnight sun so quickly…’
I couldn’t believe it.
Atlin von Reinhardt, the only master she truly cared for.
The midnight sun was the last secret that Atlin created after overcoming that terrible despair.
“For a moment. The voices of non-humans are heard here.”
And Erti, who is not human. I immediately understood Rumi’s words.
“Siertia… Those runes engraved on my body. The grudges of the Old Empire era are awakening!”
Bingjeongdong is a very deep cave. It was as bright as daytime due to the light from the cryolite.
But the surroundings were getting very dark, like deep night.
Black shadow. Dozens of. No, hundreds of ghosts were covering the surroundings.
‘No, not at all like that! The grudges of the Old Empire era… Hundreds of thousands… No, millions…’
Rumi exclaimed in surprise.
“So many grudges… Are all these people who lost their lives to Knoia?”
Erti nodded her head.
And at the same time, the Siertia that Yulian was holding emitted a dark red light.
“Go to Julian’s aura!”
Rumi’s cry was correct.
Until this point, Julian had been purely absorbing mana and producing only 8th tier mana pressure.
Millions of vengeful spirits began encroaching on his surroundings. In response to the movements of the shadows, it began to create pitch-black auras.
“Seonoh’s pole night.”
Ertiga said quietly.
The sword of despair that Atlin had created. After 100 years, it bloomed again in the hands of his descendants.
[Knoia!!! We will never forget our grudge… The fall of the empire… Forever…!!]
And as if Julian had become Knoia.
The ghosts could not distinguish the enemy and began to attack Yulian all at once.
“Stop, West!”
Erti stopped Rumi, who raised an urgent voice.
“This is Siertia’s test. No, it’s the final test of Yulian’s destiny! In the era of the old empire… Whether he has the will and qualifications to carry even the millions of ghosts!”
Like Erti said.
Millions of ghosts surrounded Yulian.
After seeing the polar night aura he created, he hadn’t started attacking yet.
“Western…”
Rumi put her hands together. Erti also watched the scene without a word.
Millions to one.
How to survive that battle?
The only light that will push away the darkness created by that terrible ghost. Erti knew that there was only the midnight sun.
‘Julian…’
And at this moment, Erti remembered Agnes and Riel.
Erti, once Agnes’s ring. She also has the deep feelings of Agnes and Riel.
She had sacrificed her own life for her world, even leaving her son soon to be born.
I’ve seen both of them with my own eyes.
Erti is Zedin’s holy sword. She put her hands together and prayed.
‘How far can two sons reach? I’ll watch.’
And finally, Julian’s battle began.
***
Just then.
Besides the two spirits, there was another person watching over Yulian.
“Yulian! Is it finally starting!”
He is Wilhelm von Reinhardt.
Wilhelm was watching as his grandson approached the final stage.
‘Julian. The weight of your destiny is so heavy!’
Those who have already reached the state of the midnight sun.
So Wilhelm also overcame the weight of that terrible fate.
The family head of Reinhardt, a famous family whose origins are traced back to the era of the Old Empire.
The owner of Essenmund and the hero who protected the empire. And the number one in the empire.
I have seen countless deaths due to its weight.
And Wilhelm did not forget that death.
Although he couldn’t remember the names of all those deaths. I remembered their faces.
‘The living remember their deaths. We have to replace the weight of the life they couldn’t carry on.’
Their death is the polar night of Seon-oh.
And the weight of life to replace them is Choi Jong-oh’s polar night.
“Julian. Are you prepared!”
The Marquis’ gaze turned to his grandson.
Yulian was dealing with those millions of ghosts in the polar night.
However, Julian has already created the miracle of the 8th tier.
It also uses the same special power as Lucifer, whom even Wilhelm feared.
‘Really, you’re using your father’s power very skillfully now.’
Now, what the Marquis has to do. All he had to do was trust his grandson.
“Julian…”
The ghosts covered Yulian.
Everywhere in that huge cavity was full of vengeful spirits.
Only one person. For Julian to carry those millions of ghosts. It seemed so absurd.
But when the aura of the polar night and the shadow of the ghost were mixed like that.
Finally in the center.
A white flash of light began to shine. Wilhelm opened his eyes wide.
“Yulian!!”
Finally, the midnight sun created by Yulian. The unfading midnight day began.
