Chapter 1164 – 1164. From Family to Family
Negative words came out of my mouth without hesitation.
“… “It’s ruined.”
But that didn’t mean that the situation was truly ruined.
“I’m glad I found out now.”
So far, there is only one person who has attempted subordination and failed.
Namgung Yuha.
However, there was only one case where subordination was imposed and then released.
“Lena, thank you for telling me.”
Lena.
Lena answered with a smile, even though she expressed regret over the loss of dependency.
“I’m glad it helped.”
Thanks to Lena, she was able to achieve great results.
“… “It’s not like they are opposites.”
In the first place, it was not something that could be compared on the same level.
The perfect antidote.
Danjeon was an all-purpose antidote that removed dependence and made people immune just by existing.
The good news was that no significant damage had occurred yet.
But that story…
“I guess things are starting to get annoying.”
It also meant that there was no damage yet, but that damage was slowly approaching.
And I was able to think of people who would soon become victims.
“Yggdrasil…”
Min Ha-yeon and Midsummer’s Sisters…
The four of them were currently learning Danjeon breathing from Namgung Yuha.
Thanks to my stomachache, I haven’t officially learned it yet…
“We need to prepare measures.”
It won’t take long for Danjeon to flower.
Of course, that was only the worst case scenario.
If you stop the power supply from blooming as soon as you get to Yggdrasil, you can solve that problem to a large extent.
But…
“Temporary measures are not the solution.”
The fact that a perfect solution must be found, even for the future, has not changed.
Even if there is a power outage, we need to maintain dependency and find a way to make it happen.
I thought so and the moment I was about to call Armonia…
‘Oh right. Armonia, busy…’
I felt like it was rude of her to call Armonia right now.
With that thought in mind, I spoke to Luna and Lena.
“I’m going to check in the corner for a moment, so you two can train without paying attention to me.”
“Yes, Suho.”
“Yes, master.”
I left the two of us like that and went to the corner of the training room and sat cross-legged.
Then I immediately started breathing Danjeon.
‘… It’s annoying, but it’s actually good to do.’
Danjeon breathing was similar to going to the gym.
Before I go, I worry about whether I should go because it’s annoying, but once I go, I feel similar in that I can have fun exercising.
As I was practicing Danjeon breathing while enjoying the vitality moving around in my body, a question came to mind.
‘What happens to mana during Danjeon breathing?’
The reason I came up with this question was simple.
Subordination is a magic that is cast using mana.
The danjeon was a vessel that kept the energy inside my body well, preventing it from escaping.
Two beings who don’t seem to get along at all.
But for some reason, those two beings were having a great influence on each other.
Of course, Danjeon was overwhelmingly suppressed…
‘Let’s use mana as well.’
I began to use the mana accumulated throughout my body while taking short breaths.
And immediately…
‘Let’s combine it.’
The two beings were made to face each other.
The moment when the inner energy, which spreads throughout the body like a nerve current centered on the dantian, and the mana, which spreads throughout the body like blood centered on the heart, merge…
‘Huh? What? Why not?’
The two beings passed by as if ignoring my intentions.
For your information, it was not a passing concept as if we were treating each other as transparent.
‘It just passes? As if there was nothing… ?’
They passed each other without any hindrance and nothing happened.
‘Let’s try one more time.’
I tried again to combine mana and strength into one.
However, rather than combining mana and energy, they were leisurely staying in one space.
It felt like there were two people in one room, but they were comfortably staying in the room without seeing or recognizing each other.
‘No, I knew it wouldn’t work, but… It wasn’t like this.’
I didn’t try it thinking it would work in the first place.
In the end, it was just an attempt to find a key to solving the problem of dependency and disconnection.
But to fail so vainly…
‘Okay… Let’s give it a try.’
Ogi was triggered.
I was infuriated by the resistance of Mana and my energy (of course, the two beings did not rebel) and attempted to tie the two beings together once again.
Try, try again, try again…
After so many attempts!
‘What the fuck!’
The swear words I could barely hold back came out.
Fortunately, nothing came out of the mouth, so the atmosphere of Luna and Lena’s sparring was maintained well.
I wiggled my forehead and calmed her down again.
‘Wow… I almost lost the coin.’
If I had done something like this during the fortune-telling breakfast, I would have passed out long ago from the magic spell.
So relieved, I tried again.
And this time too, the mana and energy stayed in one place, overlapping like souls.
‘It would have been better if it had been pushed away like a magnet…’
If that were the case, I would have been able to focus by trying to force it.
However, mana and internal energy did not even exert actions such as repulsion or attraction.
Mana and strength…
Really.
Nothing.
As if it doesn’t exist.
They were comfortably ignoring each other.
“Whoa… Let’s calm down for now.”
I calmed down my excitement and began to observe my mana and energy.
Of course, observing did not mean seeing with the eyes.
The idea was to concentrate one’s mind and observe the natural behavior of mana and inner energy.
First, I observed mana.
‘Air… No, it’s like water…’
When I released Mana’s control, she began to move around her body as naturally as water and air.
It was like air moving in the air or seawater moving with waves.
And the biggest feature is…
‘… ‘I think you recognize my gaze?’
It did not mean the gaze seen through the eyes.
It seemed to recognize the point my mind was focusing on.
When I concentrated my mind, I could feel the place rushing towards that place as if it had the gravity of mana.
Next is inner work.
This time, I tried to move my energy by concentrating only on my mind…
‘… Is he different?’
The inner energy did not respond to my spirit.
Rather, when I concentrated my mind, I was able to witness the amazing sight of mana, not internal energy, rushing to that place.
‘Go away, you bastards…’ .’
Anyway, condensing mana won’t cause any problems to my body.
However, when I saw Mana, who had led my countless attempts to failure earlier, I realized that I was treating her coldly without even realizing it.
After turning off the crowding Mana, I focused on her strength again.
Perhaps because I always use it instinctively, it felt difficult to operate it delicately.
However, I was able to catch the method without difficulty.
The internal energy clearly felt like it was alive, similar to mana.
However, the method of use was decidedly different.
‘It feels like I’m giving a direct command to the danjeon.’
It was like a hive consciousness.
The internal energy seemed to move through a passage called the nervous system under the control of the mental body called dantian.
In other words, it felt like the more I strengthened my dantian, the more everything related to internal energy became stronger.
The vessel that can hold the inner energy becomes larger, the activation speed of the inner energy, and the amount of energy of the inner energy…
‘It’s not for no reason that we keep talking about the first and second parties.’
The larger the bowl of the danjeon, the more it means that other performances also improve more evenly.
‘And the speed of accumulation will also be different.’
First, I roughly understood mana and strength.
However, even though I understood it very well, there were some parts that I just couldn’t understand.
‘I understand that our temperaments are different, but… Why don’t we recognize each other?’
If there was a strong repulsive force, there was no intention of forcing it.
However, it was frustrating because the two clearly existed were passing through each other and were not recognized.
I tried several more times…
‘I’ll ask Armonia later… Ah! Should I try that?’
A brilliant idea suddenly occurred to me.
I immediately gathered all my mental strength and…
‘First, collect it with a danjeon…’
It was pushed into the Danjeon.
Of course, Dantian was not affected in any way by my mental power.
But other beings began to respond to my mental power.
‘Okay, let’s go in.’
Mana.
The mana that was swimming all over my body… No, more accurately, we started to come together, driven by my concentration within the dantian.
But even though mana was flowing into the Danjeon…
‘Well, I wasn’t expecting anything.’
The Danjeon and the internal workers inside the Danjeon did not react at all as if they were not interested in outsiders.
After putting my energy and mana, which were not interested in each other, into the Danjeon…
‘Alchemy activated!’
I attempted alchemy on two beings.
Actually, I didn’t have high expectations for this either.
Let alone mixing, people who don’t even recognize each other will end up together…
But my prediction…
====================
〈Magic power + Danjeon = Lotus flower Danjeon〉
Legal tender Danjeon – 100% success rate
====================
It was broken when an unknown strange guy appeared.
I tilted my head as I looked at the result window that appeared in front of me.
‘Danjeon of legal tender? ‘What is that?’
It was a name I had never heard before.
I began to read the explanation of the Lotus Flower Danjeon with some doubt.
====================
[Leopard Flower Danjeon]
An organ necessary to store and operate spiritual power.
…
…
[Spiritual power]
Soul energy created by fusing mana, the energy of the mental body, and inner energy, the energy of the physical body.
Spiritual power cannot be created naturally, but can be created by fusing mana and internal energy through Lotus Flower Danjeon.
…
…
====================
Even though I didn’t read the entire explanation, I jumped up and started laughing in a low voice.
‘This is it!’
I found the answer.
And as soon as I found the answer, I looked at the ceiling with a puzzled expression.
‘What a waste of time…’
If I had used alchemy a long time ago, I wouldn’t have wasted my time like this.
But at the same time, I was relieved that I wasted my time.
‘What… Because it was a time to learn what kind of nature mana and strength have.’
The mana and power I always used without thinking.
I wasn’t particularly interested in the nature of the two beings.
I just thought of it as the energy consumed when using magic and swordsmanship.
‘First, we will cover the theory in more detail later…’
I began to focus on the screen in front of me.
‘If you create a legal tender, … Are you saying that mana and internal energy are automatically fused into spiritual power? And that spiritual power…’
====================
As soon as the Lotus Flower Danjeon is created, all the mana and internal energy in the body are fused into spiritual power.
Skills that used to consume mana and internal power can now be used by consuming spiritual power.
…
…
====================
‘It allows me to use magic and martial arts at the same time? Are you crazy?’
Even according to the explanation, there seemed to be no penalty.
‘In addition, the consumption is said to be in a 1:1 ratio…’
This meant that if you wanted to use a spell that used to consume 100 mana, you only had to consume 100 spiritual power.
‘Isn’t he a fool who doesn’t do something like this?’
The Lotus Flower Danjeon and spiritual power had such merit.
The simple act of attempting to find a solution to power cuts and dependencies brought tremendous results.
But that good feeling is short-lived…
‘… It’s hard to explain.’
Just like before with Ether, the explanation was insanely long.
It was a time when AI summary (Armonia summary) was desperately needed.
But it was impossible to call Armonia right now.
‘If you see that I said no at the door… They say it’s really hard to meet them.’
However, this issue could not be set aside.
‘Ha… If I hadn’t seen it, I would have ignored it…’
Think about it.
The opportunity to draw a 100% SSR card is right in front of you, so how can you ignore this?
Perhaps this 100% probability was triggered because of some special situation, and there was a possibility that the probability could change later.
If you try again later and see a number like 0.1%…
‘Let’s do it!’
As soon as I thought of that, I immediately activated alchemy.
When I first looked at the explanation, there wasn’t anything specifically written about precautions.
Of course, there were a lot of alien-like words, so most of the time I didn’t know what they were talking about…
‘I am a gamer~’
As I hummed to myself, alchemy was activated just in time…
‘Some crazy person handed over 100% of Double Threat!!’
As I was shouting that in my mind, my vision went black.
