The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 178



The Table of Destruction (4)

After thinking about it for a moment, I shook my head and put the jewel in my bosom.

“Yeah. There’s no way I can just eat this.”

No matter how problematic the Master’s character may be, I would never have thought that I could chew through this solid-looking jewel.

“You will find out naturally when you go.”

The Master said, “I have prepared a place near the log cabin, so go there and consume the red gem.”

“Let’s go for now.”

After taking my jewelry, I left the house and started to head towards the place the Master had told me to go.

****

The place the Master spoke of was a cave about 500 steps northwest of the log cabin.

As I entered the cave, I was quite amazed at the scenery inside.

Inside the cave, hundreds of magic circles were harmoniously arranged, and in the center was drawn one large magic circle that seemed to be the most important.

In the center of the magic circle, there was a circle that looked like it was where I should sit. In front of it, there was a pedestal that looked like it was where I should place the jewel I was holding.

After seeing the figure, I could naturally understand that all I had to do was sit there, place this jewel on the pedestal, and receive its energy.

“···What a great jewel it must be that you prepared it like this.”

The number and scale of the prepared magic circles were surprising, but what was even more surprising was that these hundreds of magic circles all had the same purpose.

“Flow control, swarm control, runaway prevention, stamina recovery···.”

Here, they are all magic circles prepared to protect and assist me as I receive energy from the jewel.

At this point, I’m starting to get a little worried. This jewel seems like it could be quite dangerous.

“What… I don’t think I’ll die?”

After hesitating for a moment, I quickly changed my mind and began to stride into the magic circle drawn in the center.

Then, sparks began to fly out from the red jewel, as if it was resonating with the mana flowing through the magic circle.

Crackle, crackle!

Along with the sparks, you begin to feel a faint energy emanating from the gem. It is a subtle energy. It must be only a small fraction of the energy contained within the gem.

“···!”

But it is unfamiliar and intense. Feeling the remnants of the energy running wild, my dry saliva is swallowed with a click. This is really no joke.

Anyway, I arrived at the center of the magic circle. I sat cross-legged and placed the jewel on the pedestal.

Choaaak!

Then, a dazzling light burst out from the magic circle, and the jewels enveloped in that light began to crack.

“Ugh···!”

As I tried to absorb the massive amount of energy that burst out like a fountain through the gap in the drawn gold, I felt a tearing pain all over my body, and in an instant, blood burst out from my mouth and nose.

I gritted my teeth and focused all my energy on controlling the energy bursting out of the jewel.

Thud! Thud!

The raging energy pounded at me as if it was going to break the blood vessels and mana channels in my body. I heard a terrible sound and felt a pain as if holes were being ripped through my entire body.

Even in the midst of all this, the magic circles spread out inside the cave were emitting light in sequence.

Now I think I understand why the Master made so many preparations.

I guarantee you, if it weren’t for those magic circles, I would have been eaten and burst like a balloon, or I would have gone berserk, not to mention not being able to control this crazy energy.

Knock, knock!

As the unidentified energy that was refusing my control started to rage more violently, pounding all over my body, places like my arms, legs, abdomen, and chest started to bulge and then fall repeatedly.

‘If you don’t control it, you die.’

Suddenly recalling an undeniable fact, I pulled myself together from my dazed state and focused on the flow of energy.

Sometimes slow, sometimes fast.

Little by little, or a lot.

The flow of energy was directed to the core. As the hellish and painful time passed, some of the energy that had been running wild like a madman gave up its resistance and began to settle into the core.

“···!”

As some of the energy begins to settle into your core, you begin to feel a surge of energy throughout your body, and a sense of indescribable omnipotence begins to creep into you.

The strange sense of omnipotence I was experiencing for the first time suddenly gave me an epiphany.

Try to awaken mana and starlight.

A strange energy seeps into Mana and the starlight.

Moved mana and starlight.

A strange energy moves along with mana and starlight.

I was in a state of no-mind, so I followed my instincts and boldly opened all of my cores.

Choaaak!

Then, all the energy that was running wild here and there inside my body and the cave begins to enter the core.

“Ugh···!”

Even as blood poured out of my mouth and nose, I focused all my energy on controlling the massive amount of energy that was simultaneously entering my core.

The energy, mana, and starlight I have accepted roughly rub against the newly incoming energy. Every time there is friction, I feel an unspeakable pain, my vision becomes blurred, and my mind becomes dizzy.

And yet, the unfamiliar and rough energy seeps into my core little by little. Every time I accept the energy, my mind, which had been dizzy, becomes clearer, and my whole body fills with vitality and a sense of omnipotence.

There are repeated, miraculous moments where he is on the verge of death and then miraculously revived.

Along with this, the intensity of the pain gradually diminishes.

How much energy did you have to focus on that?

“after···.”

Although I was still raging inside, I managed to settle the unfamiliar energy into my core and was able to open my eyes, taking a deep breath.

“and···.”

The world had slowed down to an extent that was beyond comparison. Things that were previously invisible were now visible in my eyes, and I felt that all my senses had become more sensitive, to the point where I could hear bugs chirping outside.

In that sensation, I caught the feeling of a warm palm that I had never felt before.

“When did you come?”

A slender palm that has been resting on my back for some time.

When I turned my head back, the teacher, who looked a little tired, was staring at me.

You definitely look tired.

Sigh.

The teacher raised the corners of his lips slightly and spoke to me in a joyful tone.

“What does it matter when? It’s more important who came.”

After saying that, the teacher made a stern expression again and began to continue talking.

“I will assist you from now on, so focus on your inner self again. You must resolve the energy that has taken hold of your mind today.”

“I want to rest for a bit···.”

“If you want to rest, then rest. If you want to rest your whole life because you are consumed by energy, then rest.”

“···.”

I began to follow my teacher’s words without saying a word. I knew better than anyone that my teacher would never say empty words.

The energy that is presumed to be that of the Master seeps into my inner self and moves ahead like a guide.

As a disciple, I began to follow my master as I always did.

****

A meadow with a mysterious atmosphere created by the beautiful moonlight reflecting off the dewy flower petals and bushes.

As the gentle breeze blew, I stood facing the Master, whose platinum hair was fluttering.

“Disciple. This master is curious. What kind of world would your world be like if it had changed?”

The teacher smiled gently and asked, “How is your world now that it has changed?”

So I answered.

“This world is so awesome. It’s a shame that I lived until now without knowing about this world.”

I’m so done with it.

That’s actually the case.

What was invisible became visible.

I heard something I hadn’t heard before.

My whole body is full of life.

A sense of omnipotence wells up like a boiling spring.

This could be confirmed not only through feeling, but also numerically.

*If all the bowls break, you will die. (Durability: 10(+20)/100)

—-

First of all, the durability of the bowl has increased. It is a shame and questionable that it has increased as a plus concept rather than a complete value, but I wonder where this is.

[Learn Daphne’s swordsmanship and magic. (Progress: 53.7%)]

In addition, the figures that had been stagnant for a while have also increased exponentially.

At this point, a question arises.

“But what was that jewel just now?”

What on earth was it that gave it such energy and allowed it to make such progress?

“It was a jewel called the Shinhonseok (神魂石). It was a jewel created from the blood that the gods first shed and the souls of those that the gods first lost.”

“Yes…? There’s no way something like that could exist… Then where did you get such a thing, Master?”

It was a story that was hard to believe. A jewel that was a mixture of the blood of a god and the souls of many people. I couldn’t help but ask questions.

“Actually, there was another owner of this jewel. Unfortunately, however, he did not know of the jewel’s existence and met a miserable end.”

It was said that the jewel was originally supposed to be given to Berheim.

“As you know, I have spent many years walking alone. There is no place I have not been, and there is nothing I have not tried.”

“The honeymoon stone is a jewel that I happened to come across and obtain during that time. I regretted it for a very long time, knowing the significance of the jewel so late.”

“Why didn’t we find out about this jewel sooner? If we had, my fate and that of many others would not have been so miserable.”

The wind blows. The platinum hair flutters, and the Master’s face is hidden by the hair.

“However, it is not like that now. The jewel that had lost its meaning has found its meaning, and this master has also been able to shake off useless emotions such as regret and reflection without any hesitation.”

“Camel, my disciple who has become qualified. Draw your sword.”

Slurp.

The Master drew two swords from the two scabbards hanging from his waist with a graceful movement, aimed them at me, and spoke.

“From today onwards, I intend to pass on to you everything about me and everything about those who have been with me.”

“Please accept it all.”

“Swing it all around the world, relieve everyone’s grievances, and hear everyone’s wishes.”

The wind is blowing. It’s stronger than before.

The strong wind sways my black hair and my eyes.

Slurp.

Feeling the wind blowing once again on my sensitive skin, I looked at my teacher and silently pulled out my two swords.
