Awakening After Divorce - Awakening After Divorce chapter 158

Paper 158 Magic Engine

There were two options that Jihoo got from clearing the labyrinth this time.

[Reduced resistance of advanced elements].

I was going to put this in an artifact to present to Miji Kim. In order for her to use water attribute magic additionally, the collision resistance between attributes had to be reduced.

When combined with the [Essence of Water] given as a gift from Hyunmu, a useful artifact will come out. In particular, I wanted to see with my own eyes the high-level magic created with the three attributes.

‘Because I can also use magic in this way later.’

It may be a good teacher if you keep it by your side.

Of course, Jihoo would mainly use artifacts rather than directly use magic, and was going to use them for production.

And the second option.

[Advanced energy fusion].

Been thinking about this for a while.

As I checked the list of artifacts I received from Anya Taylor, I wondered if this was correct. Since it was not an option that Jihoo had personally touched, it was not possible to predict whether it would be possible to combine it with an artifact.

But when I thought about it, there was nothing I couldn’t do with SP. I didn’t have time this time, so I had to use SP.

‘Coolness in the water attribute. Wrap it around your body and make it blend into your body or equipment.’

To put it simply, just like strengthening one’s body and equipment with mana, the cold water attribute makes it possible.

If that happens, her attack power as well as her defense power will rise significantly. Especially on the 11th floor and above, which is full of [Hell’s Salt].

“… … Shall we start working again?”

Jihoo focused on production.

* * *

A few days passed.

Jihoo immersed himself in production, almost entrusting the store to Kim Mi-ji and Lee Hee-yeon. I had to make artifacts for the two of them, but I also had to make artifacts for newbies, and I had to make them regularly for auction.

Jihoo stretched and stood up from his seat.

“I’m going to visit President Jeong Woo-yeon for a while.”

“okay! I’ll keep the production request and keep the emotions aside.”

“Yes, I will be back soon.”

It was to take a short walk, and to see the corpse of the demon that appeared in this rift.

And on the way back, I had to buy some magic books.

“Oh, boss. Are you here?”

President Jung Woo-yeon greeted Jihoo with a wide open face. The person who is most excited about this rift is probably CEO Jung Woo-yeon.

Since he got new monster corpses and even corpses of demons that are said to be hard to find, he must be full of things he wants to do.

“Yes, has your face improved a lot?”

“hahahaha, is that so? I think I did very well to come to this street these days. Rifts are said to be a disaster, but here there is no damage from the rift… … Can’t we be a little happy? In other places, if you laugh at something like this, you’re almost blinded.”

Jihoo nodded.

Well, it’s worth it.

No matter how popular black magicians are, it can’t be helped that they are not welcomed because they are a type that grows in disaster.

“Rather than that, would you like to see the demon corpse?”

“I see. It’s the first time I’ve seen a level 10.”

Have you ever seen a level 10 in such detail? It’s all about seeing it from a distance or watching it on TV. Occasionally, it is circulated on the streets through Aunt Miyeon, but there are very few of them.

Jihoo went down to the basement with President Jeong Woo-yeon.

“Here it is. He blows his hair right.”

On the side he pointed to, there was a demon tribe with one of its heads missing.

But it was amazing. Certainly, it was thanks to the rise of a class after reaching level 10, that a strange current was flowing through the body of the dead.

“Isn’t it serious just by looking at it?”

“Yes? It’s a whopping level 10. My Death Knight is also only level 9, but it’s a different level to say it’s a level difference.”

It’s an ordinary demon.

It was 30 cm taller than an adult, had horns on its head, and its arms and legs were very long. Even so, at first glance, the fact that they look like people makes them feel even more alienated.

“The head… … Did you play a bit of this?”

“Yeah, originally, more than half of your head exploded, right? But I think I recovered 30% right before I died. It has tremendous regenerative power.”

Jihoo looked at the broken head and nodded. The flesh and bones were immediately regenerated and raised, and the bizarre appearance came into view at a glance.

It was good to listen to Aunt Shim Ji-hye.

If I couldn’t send it all at once, I think I would have suffered quite a bit. Considering the power of the street itself, the damage wouldn’t have been great, but I don’t know.

Because if someone gets hurt or dies, it can’t be undone.

“The owner of this demon is the boss. Is there anything you want to do?”

“I do not know. If I make an undead with this, will I be able to maintain level 10?”

At Jihoo’s question, President Jeong Woo-yeon raised her eyebrows. After thinking about it for a while, I shook my head.

“It is difficult to maintain level 10. Level 9 anyway? I also raised my Death Knight from level 8 to 9, but it was 7 when I first completed it. After upgrading and growing for a long time, I reached 9.”

“Can I become level 10 if I do it that way?”

“I think that might be difficult. Still, like my greed, I want to make a level 9 Death Knight, but if President Shin says I’m going to the 11th floor, level 9 is useless.”

Jihoo nodded.

The same goes for the black child and the knight of protection that Jihoo now possesses. [Indomitable Tower] You can use it somehow until the 10th floor.

But on the 11th floor?

Uneasy. Even if Jihoo protects with water and cold, it is uncertain whether he can withstand the flames of hell.

“I guess so.”

Jihoo appraised the demons.

Since it was level 10, I couldn’t see it at first glance. I looked at the horns with [Segmentation], but as expected, the horns were not identified as the most important part of the demon.

So I used the [Insight Plan].

In an instant, the life of the demon race passed through Jihoo’s mind. Then, emotions came naturally.

‘Are you sure it’s upwards compatible with [Read]? No, it’s a secondary effect, but it’s an additional secondary effect.’

It was the most needed ability at a time when the level of [View] was insufficient.

『The corpse of the dead Lerlia [Demon/Death] [Higher Demon] [Lv. 10]』

: Lerlia, a pure-blood demon who was born with a pure bloodline. He reached level 10 and gained a reputation, and was active in the forefront of killing humanity with the grace of the demon king.

Currently, her brain and nervous system are in a melted state of death, but her body is imbued with dignity.

* [Demon King’s Grace]

* [Advanced physical enhancement of pure blood demons]

* [Title of Senior Commander]

Jihoo tilted his head as he read the information he had read. There were three options with proper names, but it wasn’t very satisfying.

[Demon King’s Grace]

: The demon’s horn is the central organ for producing, storing, amplifying, and releasing demonic energy. However, it is limited to normal magic. The demon king bestowed grace on her and gave her the power to create the purest demonic energy.

* [Advanced Magical Institution]

* [Advanced Magi Amplification]

“… … It is a high-level magical power organ.”

“yes?”

President Jeong Woo-yeon was surprised by Jihoo’s words and asked back.

“why?”

“Ba, what did you just say? A magical engine?”

“Yes, what about it?”

“Does this demon have it?”

Jihoo could feel the bewilderment and anticipation in his eyes. And the greed passing by boldly.

“Yes, thanks to the grace of the demon king, there is a higher-level magic organ in the horn.”

“… … It was a huge demon.”

“Is that great?”

Jihoo asked as if he didn’t know.

Then President Jung Woo-yeon was excited and talked.

“sure. Well, for example, you know that monsters and demons generate demonic energy from their horns, right? That is common sense.”

“Yes, it is.”

“But, strictly speaking, it is not creation. It is regenerating by absorbing mana or demonic energy, so let’s say it is synthesized, not made from nothing. Like photosynthesis.”

Jihoo nodded.

it could be.

Because magic is the same way.

Humans also absorb mana to strengthen their bodies or make aura blades, and the activity of magic is only to use mana.

“But the magical organs are different.”

“… … ?”

“Usually only the Demon King has it. You have to have a magical organ to be qualified to become a demon king. Well, even if it is very rare, it is taken away by force, but the demon king with a magical organ is the best even by force, so there is little chance of being taken away.”

Jihoo suddenly had an idea.

How does President Jeong Woo-yeon know this?

“Anyway, a magical organ is an organ that generates demonic energy, not the normal magical power we know. It is the purest Magi, unmixed with other powers.”

“okay.”

“If I do this well, a level 10 Death Knight could be born?”

“… … !”

“Can you leave it to me?”

Jihoo thought for a moment.

It was because I felt greed in his gaze for a moment. But still he is a trustworthy person.

“Then please.”

“But you will have to replace some of the mummies found in the ruins before. A high-level Death Knight requires as much material. Besides, I need additional materials… … .”

“If you need anything, please ask. But isn’t the most important thing a fee?”

“It will cost 50 billion just for re-rolling.”

“… … Is that enough?”

“Anyway, he’s level 10. I need to find the highest quality magic stone… … In fact, even if you have money, it’s hard to find.”

Jihoo nodded.

That’s why you need to save your money wisely. From level 10 onwards, it goes beyond the level of general materials.

If so, now Ji-hoo knows.

what about the fees?

“Oh, and don’t worry about fees.”

“yes?”

“Actually, it’s a level 10. Even just by touching the corpse of a demon who received a magical organ thanks to the grace of the demon king, I will achieve great achievements. Maybe it will go up a notch.”

Jihoo doesn’t know much about black magicians.

I studied to some extent, but the basic theory was everything. So I didn’t quite understand.

“What do you mean?”

“It is literally. Creating the undead itself. Even making a new corpse, a higher level, and a corpse with the power of a magical organ as an undead itself is a black magician… … . If you say it like this, you may not understand.”

“It seems a little like that.”

“Oh, it’s like that. Just because a hunter with a sword kills only goblins and sells the corpses obtained after killing ogres doesn’t mean that experience and know-how will go anywhere, right?”

“It is, but… … .”

“That plus. Just as when a wizard uses magic from the ‘spirit vein’, that pure and concentrated magical energy washes the body, my body grows in line with this pure demonic energy.”

Only then did I understand a little.

But this is not it.

“That is separate. At this distance, you have to be exact. Please let me know the fee excluding the re-heating price. If there are any by-products you need, please make a request.”

Jihoo said firmly.

Then President Jung Woo-yeon scratched his head as if he was sorry and opened his mouth.

“Then, I’d like to go to the 11th floor this time and use the parts of the corpse I got.”

“Are you not going with me this time?”

“I think we should put all our effort into making this Death Knight. Besides, starting from the 11th floor, I’m too tired. I guess fire and undead don’t get along well.”

it could be.

In addition, all the monsters on the 11th floor are level 10 or higher. It is of great character and strength, and even the smallest parts of its corpse are of great value.

In particular, to him as a black magician, some of the corpses with dignity would come much bigger than money.

“All right. Then please.”

“It’s something I’m asking you to do.”
