Chapter 214
Chapter 214 - Beserk's Heart (2)
“This is...”
Overwhelming power overflowing throughout the body.
Jincheol Ryu spread both hands and looked down.
Dark red magic was leaking out of both hands that looked down.
Ryu Jin-cheol slowly turned his gaze and looked at the fallen star.
The darkness was unconscious and motionless.
Ryu Jin-cheol was a talented person who competed for the top among S-class hunters.
He is also a skilled person close to the cataclysm hero.
But it was infinitely close.
could never reach
Despite his struggles over the past few decades, Ryu Jin-cheol could not surpass the cataclysmic hero.
The gap between Ryu Jin-cheol and the hero of the cataclysm was a difference that could not be mentioned.
But now.
The hero of the cataclysm, Dark Star, was not an opponent.
none other than yourself.
“Is this the power of the end…”
Ryu Jin-cheol shuddered at the power he felt through his whole body.
But at the same time, Ryu Jin-cheol knew.
The magical power of Beserk's heart.
That the magic power was gnawing away at his existence.
The unrefined magic of Beserk had one vitality.
A dragon's heart is what a dragon is all about.
Since the heart was absorbed without any purification process,
Ryu Jin-cheol's magical power and Beserk's magical power conflicted with each other, causing a backlash.
and the winner.
“Cool...!”
Of course, it was Beserk's magic.
Soon after, the suppressed magical power is released.
And Ryu Jin-cheol's body is torn to shreds.
predestined death.
The moment he took power,
Ryu Jin-cheol's destruction was decided.
In the beginning, this power was not allowed to humans. A power
that can be taken but
cannot be taken.
Ryu Jin-cheol could personally feel the true meaning of the words.
Ryu Jin-cheol slowly looked away.
There stood a great voice, a being wearing a long robe pressed down.
“How much time do I have left?”
Then, as if to answer, a great voice spat out its will.
【It will depend on how much you endure.】
Jincheol Ryu said with a smile.
“Are you avoiding it now? funny dude. After all, didn’t you already know the future?”
The great voice raised its head slightly.
Because of that, the darkness covered by the hood of the robe was slightly revealed.
Still, for some reason, I couldn't see the face properly.
The great voice looked at Ryu Jin-cheol in silence.
Then he slowly turned his head into the air.
【Now...】
And a word that continued.
[It is no longer visible.]
The fate of the dimension that was scheduled for the end.
Its fate became unclear at some point.
To be precise, it hadn't been seen since the disappearance of the eldritch.
The great voice stared into the void.
Ryu Jin-cheol stared blankly at such a great voice.
what does that mean
Ryu Jin-cheol does not know the details.
In the first place, the very existence of a great voice was a mystery.
There was a lot to hide, and
there was nothing suspicious about it.
That's why when the great voice approached, Ryu Jin-cheol did not believe the great voice.
Even at this moment, Jincheol Ryu does not believe in great voices.
Nevertheless, Ryu Jin-cheol eventually took Beserk's heart and
joined the Great Voice's plan.
The reason was not particularly special.
Because it didn't matter anyway.
After running away as if being kicked out of Korea.
Ryu Jin-cheol's purpose was always one.
The ruin of Kim Seo-jun, who took everything he had.
As long as it could bring destruction to Kim Seo-joon, it didn't matter.
Even if you become a sacrifice yourself.
“I will ask you one last time.”
A great voice gently turned its head.
The face is still invisible.
Jincheol Ryu put his hand on his chest and slowly opened his mouth.
“Why did it have to be me?”
【Because you were the one who met the conditions of the consciousness the most.
】
The great voice had no answer.
Ryu Jin-cheol let out a laugh.
In fact, what does it mean now?
There was only one thing that was important to Ryu Jin-cheol.
“With this, Seojun Kim. Are you sure you can destroy him?”
pounding!
At the same time, Beserk's heart throbbed greatly.
As if he was reacting to the name Kim Seo-joon.
Then a great voice spoke its will.
【Perhaps.】
And the great voice stopped for a moment at the will it had uttered.
maybe.
A word that presumes an uncertain fact that cannot be determined.
The great voice never expected to utter these words of its own will.
And it was the future that I didn't want so much....
that moment.
“Now what about me?”
The great voice brushed away thoughts at the words of Ryu Jin-cheol, which were suddenly heard.
【When the ceremony begins, your body will accept Beserk's heart. However, your ego completely collapses. Because you can't stand the difference in rank. In other words, your existence is extinguished.]
Not even death, but annihilation.
However, Ryu Jin-cheol calmly listened to the will of the great voice.
For he knew very well what the Great Voice's plans were.
That's why I didn't believe it at first.
I still don't believe it.
“I don't know who it is, but I'd like you to tell me to take care of you.”
However, I do not regret it.
If only I could bring out the destruction of Kim Seo-joon.
Ryu Jin-cheol slowly closed his eyes.
That moment.
pounding!
Beserk's heart began to beat violently.
Eventually, dark red magic burst out and began to swallow Ryu Jin-cheol.
“Quaaaaaaagh!”
It was the price of taking power that could not be taken.
Dark red magic continued to burst out of Ryu Jin-cheol's body.
Seeing Ryu Jin-cheol like that, a great voice took out a scripture from his bosom.
A holy relic of the Jinrihoe used to seal Beserk in the past.
The great voice brought out the power of the Holy Spirit along with the white mana.
Pajijijik!
The dark red magic that had been bursting out by the white magic began to gradually soften.
After a long time, all of the dark red magic was absorbed into Ryu Jin-cheol's body.
and momentarily
Ryu Jin-chul's eyes slowly opened.
But why?
“...... It's a better body than I thought, right?”
The atmosphere was quite different from Ryu Jin-cheol just before.
It's like being a completely different being.
Jincheol Ryu looked down at his body.
“Besides, this mana right now... is amazing? Will I be able to use my power properly? But how can this body withstand this power?”
Eventually, Jincheol Ryu's eyes turned to the great voice.
Then, when they reached the relic held by the great voice, their eyes stopped.
“Ultra-class equipment?”
Ryu Jin-cheol opened his eyes wide and continued.
“Did you suppress it with that?”
Jincheol Ryu nodded as if he understood.
Of course, mana was not refined, but suppressed.
Therefore, the heart was not absorbed into the body.
But it didn't matter much.
There was no problem at all in drawing and using the mana of the heart.
“Uh… but it’s broken. With transcendental equipment, causality would be terrifying... Why is it such a waste?”
【It's none of your business.】
Then the great voice roared with cold will.
Ryu Jin-cheol spread his palms out and said.
“Wow. to calm down No matter how much I came here for cause and effect, I still don't want to fight transcendence.”
Then he smiled and spoke.
“so. What can I do now?”
The great voice looked at Ryu Jin-cheol for a while.
Then, slowly, he let out his will.
【You don't have much time. You borrowed a body, but you don't exist in this dimension, so the Observer will find a way to banish you.]
“The Observer? Who is that?”
Jincheol Ryu tilted his head.
But the great voice did not answer.
Then a great voice stretched out its hand.
Whoops.
Then, white magic power burst out and headed towards the fallen star on the floor.
Soon, the body of the ignorant star floated up into the air.
Then the great voice slowly turned his back.
And beyond that came the will of a great voice.
[So, I'll make the stage soon.]
The final stage of the end.
The great voice left the place just like that.

“Yes? One of the three fragments?”
At Hwa-ta's words, Seo-joon opened his eyes wide.
The dragon heart was an organ that could be said to be everything about dragons.
Seo-joon hadn't even heard that the dragon heart could be split.
No, even if it can be split.
Then left atrium left ventricle right atrium right ventricle.
Shouldn't it be roughly torn in this form?
Of course, the structure of dragon hearts could be different from humans.
Still, it had to be torn in some form.
But now, the heart of Beserk.
It was in the form of a whole heart.
[I can't believe it either, but I'm sure. This dragon's heart is perfect, but not perfect.]
However, a transcendental person who has risen to the ranks of transcendence as a fire medicine.
If Hwa-ta said that much, I had to see it as true.
[Who the hell...? No, what about this perfect heart?]
And even such a fire seemed hard to believe.
A phenomenon that even transcendentalists cannot believe.
that means that.
At least it was not difficult to see that it was the work of a being who had heard of the transcendence like Hwa-ta.
‘Hmm...'
Seojun thought for a moment.
Because there was only one being who could do such a thing.
Seo-joon asked Hwa-ta.
“Then you can’t use the dragon even if you take that heart?”
[That's not it. This dragon's heart is perfect on its own. The only thing that has been separated is the power contained within it.]
In a word, it means that only mana has been divided into 1/3.
At Hwa-ta's words, Seo-joon looked slightly surprised.
‘This is only 1/3 of the magic power.'
So, just how good was Beserk?
Seojun shook his head.
[However, the work has become more complicated. I guess... I think I should invite the two of you.]
At Hwa-ta's words, Seo-joon slowly nodded.
Here and there.
The need to absorb Beserk's heart has not changed.
Seojun slightly turned his head to look at his mentor.
< Yup! Leave that to me! >
Then the mentor raised his hand confidently and shouted.
Before long, the mentor manipulated Seo-jun's smartphone.
After that little time passed.
[Nice to meet you. Call it a version.]
[It's Paracelsus.]
An unfamiliar voice came from somewhere.
An oriental-style old man and a western-style middle-aged man were standing there.
It is none other than Platinum and Paracelsus.
It was not very difficult to tell the two apart because of their distinct impressions.
and.
[Hmm?]
[What is it?]
At that moment, Pyeonjak and Paracelsus showed a puzzled expression.
It was a natural reaction since there were three transcendental people in one place.
“That's it....”
Seo-joon briefly explained the current situation to Pyeon-jak and Paracelsus.
[Dragon's heart?]
[Dragon heart?]
Seo-joon slightly turned his head to look at Hwa-ta instead of answering the question.
Then Hwa-ta took a step forward and showed the two people the heart of Beserk in his hand.
The twinkling light and the eyes of Paracelsus.
[Huh...?]
[My God, such a perfect dragon heart?]
As expected, Pyeonjak and Paracelsus also didn't differ much from Hwata's reaction.
Hwata smiled coolly and slowly opened her mouth.
[So I want you to do this with the two of you.]
Pyeonjak and Paracelsus nodded happily.
[Heh heh heh. Rather, I am grateful for inviting me to such an honorable event.]
[Sounds like fun. Let's try it.]
And they said that the horns were also sweet.
Pyeonjak and Paracelsus began examining Beserk's heart closely.
After some time passed, each of them uttered one word at a time.
[There is vitality in magic itself. If it is absorbed like this, a collision will occur inside the user.]
[Then, the mana must be suppressed or reduced to natural mana.] [The
purpose is to absorb, so it is better to reduce mana to natural mana than to suppress mana. Did you?]
[I guess so. However, it takes a little bit of magic loss during the refining process.]
[Hmm... that has to be taken into account.]
[No, there's no need for that. There is a way to amplify the total amount while reducing it to natural magic.]
[Has there been such a method in Ho-Oh Alchemy?]
The three of them started a discussion with such unknown stories.
Seojun listened roughly and quickly turned off his mind.
They are people who have entered the ranks of transcendence because they could not reach the peak in their respective fields.
Even if Seojun didn't care, he would take care of it.
‘Even if I wanted to care in the first place, I don't know what he was talking about.'
Seo-joon let out a smile.
And just then.
< Ah, Kim Seo-joon. Right now, a lot of causal is being consumed per hour. Do you know? >
As if the mentor had forgotten, he started talking to Seo-joon.
Seojun nodded as if it were natural.
“Sure. Roughly... about 30 billion?”
That would be the case, Hwata's premium lecture was 10 billion won per hour.
Since Byeonjak and Paracelsus were added to this, a rough calculation yielded about 30 billion won per hour.
however.
< Ah, that's it... >
Why was the mentor's expression unusual?
The mentor hesitated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.
< Instructor Pyeonjak and Instructor Paracelsus opened a course on alchemy and alchemy, not alchemy. Besides, it's not a premium lecture, it's just a lecture... >
Shocked.
At the words of such a mentor, Seo-joon shivered.
To put it simply, it meant that 30 billion won was over.
Seojun swallowed and said.
“So… how much is it?”
The mentor raised one index finger and shouted loudly.
< All three of them together make 1 trillion per hour! >
“......”
Seo-joon was speechless for a moment.
