I Obtained a Mythic Item

Episode 12 Mana Cube (2) A

transparent and deep space with a blue light.

The inside of the Mana Cube resembled a huge ocean.

Jaehyun was briefly nervous about the intense mana wave he experienced for the first time, but soon after he got used to it, he began to look around.

‘Is this... a huge sea made of mana? Fortunately, it seems to be resting properly. I was worried about what would happen if I fell into mana poisoning.'

Mana poisoning.

It refers to a disease caused by exposure to an unmanageable amount of mana for a long time.

Basically, mana in this world is equal to oxygen.

It is necessary to use magic or skill, but if exposed to too thick mana for a long time, cardiorespiratory function will deteriorate.

Experts collectively call diseases with these symptoms ‘mana poisoning'.

In general, mana poisoning causes various pathological symptoms such as difficulty breathing, vomiting, and fever, and is notorious for slowly eating away the life of a raider.

Therefore, Jaehyun's ability to move freely means that he is not affected by mana poisoning.

It was fortunate indeed.

‘But there's no benefit to wasting time. It may just be that the symptoms haven't appeared yet.'

Of course, it is said that a well-trained wizard can breathe comfortably without restrictions even in the extremes of raging mana.

However, the current Jaehyun is a beginner himself as a wizard.

There was an unfathomable distance from their superhuman realm.

After confirming that his body was moving properly, Jaehyun took a light breath.

I felt mana permeating into my lungs, and my whole body felt numb.

‘It's important to find a way out first. If I remember correctly, there is only one way to escape from the Mana Cube.'

Jaehyun constantly checked his surroundings as he swam to keep from sinking.

There are no creatures in the dark deep sea. Only the violent whirlpool created by the spray and expanding its scale.

Jaehyun nervously swallowed his saliva and moved his gaze toward the current in front of his eyes.

‘Finding the one with the thickest mana among the many whirlpools and digging into it. That's the purpose of this Mana Cube test.'

Countless currents of water and torrents of whirlpools are rushing beneath your feet.

Among them, there is only one entrance connected to the outside world. And you have to repeat the process several times to break this cube and escape to the outside.

Simply put, the mana cube is a test to see how carefully you can feel mana.

‘Huh... Let's focus. I feel the waves of mana.......'

He took a short breath.

Unlike before, Jaehyun tilted his body horizontally with more stable breathing and then carefully began to move his arms and legs.

Clearly remember the sensations of the floating body and focus on the senses of the body.

‘From now on, I have to find the weak stem of mana and go into that fragment...'

At that time, Jaehyun was busily waving his arms and moving forward.

“uh?”

Something unbelievable began to see in his eyes.

The center of the swirling sea.

There he found something that radiated strange magical powers.

“Is that… crystal?”

Jaehyun muttered, forgetting that he was underwater.

He found a small crystal in the rough vortex that raged in front of his eyes.

A crystal that has overwhelming magical power and looks like the essence of this giant sea.

* * *

“CEO says it as if Min Jae-hyun will break the cube and come out.”

“sure.”

Park Seong-jae almost burst out laughing at Yoo Seong-eun’s refreshing tone.

I didn't explain it to Jaehyun earlier, but the inside of the Mana Cube is quite dangerous.

The depths of the sea, where magical energy is as deep as about the 15th level of the mana room.

Of course, it is very difficult to detect the very slight magical power in it.

‘Because I made that happen to a kid who hasn't even entered high school yet...'

Park Seong-jae sighed lightly.

Of course, I know that Jaehyun Min is talented, but strictly speaking, this is a different area.

Until now, I have seen genius radars that have not exceeded numerous terms and conditions, but those who have passed this test are one of the few in the world.

It was true that there were question marks about whether he would be able to do it well.

‘What the hell are you thinking...?'

one thing.

If there was only one thing to look forward to in the midst of worry, it was Yoo Sung-eun's actions.

A woman who has a knack for recognizing talent and has attracted many high-ranking raiders to her guild.

In the end, she is a talented person who made her name as Yeonhwa in the No. 1 guild in Korea.

It was his idea that such Yoo Seong-eun could not have given that student an unreasonable ordeal.

“How long will it take?”

Suddenly, Yoo Seong-eun's voice resounded inside the gymnasium where silence flowed.

Park Seong-jae made a short sound with a slightly embarrassed face.

Yoo Seong-eun was calm.

“In my case it was about 40 minutes. It was the fastest in the country.”

It wasn't a boastful tone to talk about one's own achievements.

Park Seong-jae pondered for a while before opening his mouth.

“It would be either one.”

Yoo Seong-eun's gaze turned to Park Seong-jae. he was unassuming

“Either you can’t break the cube at all… or you break it while setting a new record.”

Park Seong-jae's expression was also serious.

If Yoo Sung-eun saw a truly overwhelming talent in him, at least this much would make sense. Because he even presented an all-time great contract offered to A-class raiders and above.

“I think so. But for some reason… I don’t think Min Jae-hyun will crawl out of here.”

A tone filled with strange certainty.

Park Seong-jae felt goosebumps all over his body and looked at Yoo Seong-eun.

And then.

Kwajik! Kwajijik!

“Sungjae oppa! Here...!”

Yoo Seong-eun's urgent voice brought Park Seong-jae, who was immersed in thought, into reality.

Park Seong-jae quickly turned his head in the direction Yoo Seong-seong was pointing.

Where the Mana Cube is.

And finally, seeing what happened before his eyes, he murmured softly.

“The cube… is cracking?!”

The two stunned-looking people looked at each other.

Park Seong-jae quickly took out his smartphone and checked the current time.

‘It's 10 minutes. In just 10 minutes... the cube cracked.'

Park Seong-jae and Yoo Seong-eun swallowed their saliva and could not take their eyes off the mana cube.

The two thought almost at the same time.

‘What the hell is going on inside?'

* * *

In the deep sea, tired of deep blue darkness.

Jaehyun was examining the crystal he had just discovered.

The elongated crystal with a weak purple color gave off a strangely strong reverberation of magical power.

Intuitively, Jaehyun realized that this crystal was the source of the mana cube and the basis of the mana that made up this giant sea.

“I can feel the magical power from this crystal that is much thicker than the one flowing from the sea.”

Forgetting to even hold his breath, Jaehyun muttered while looking at the crystal.

“That would mean that it is this crystal that holds this mana cube.”

The purple crystal is most likely an artifact to maintain the magic that built this great sea.

In other words, it means that it is a catalyst for using ‘field magic'.

And that is.

‘If you break this, you can get out. There is no need to find the Mana Vortex.'

A soft smile formed on Jaehyun's lips.

He would never have thought that Yoo Seong-eun and Park Seong-jae would break the Mana Cube in this way, but Jae-hyun decided not to mind.

Yoo Sung-eun only told him to break the mana cube, but he never clearly stipulated how.

That means that even if Jaehyun uses a little expedient here, he will tolerate it.

Jaehyun held on to the shining crystal while enduring the vertigo.

―This is an informal approach!

Kwajik!

When I applied light force with my hand, the crystal shattered weakly and splintered out.

―You have succeeded in breaking the mana core!

Jaehyun raised the corners of his mouth and listened to the sound of the system beeping in succession.

It seemed like it was definitely far from the normal approach, though.

“Whatever.”

―You have cleared the Mana Cube.

―You have acquired the passive skill 《The Essence of Mana Management》.

―transmitted to the real world.

* * *

Chaeng-Grang!

Soon the mana cube stopped working and the blue gate outside shattered.

This was the story that Jaehyun succeeded in breaking the mana cube.

“My God.......”

Seongjae Park looked at the cube scattering fragments in front of him with a stunned expression.

In general, 7% of magic-type raiders break mana cubes.

The average time it takes for them to break a mana cube is a little over 3 hours.

There, B grade or higher is 2 hours. An hour and a half for grades A and above. S-class is from an hour to 30 minutes.

However, what Jaehyun has achieved now is an unprecedented level of achievement in the world.

America's Camilla has been the fastest to break mana cubes so far.

She is a genius magician who is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records with a score of 36 minutes.

However, Jaehyun broke that record.

With a difference of over 26 minutes.

‘It's a story you won't believe anywhere else. Who would believe the story that a child who was still in the third year of middle school destroyed a mana cube in 10 minutes...?'

But it was a reality that happened right in front of my eyes.

Seongjae Park felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

Tboob. Tboob.

After a while.

Jaehyun appeared inside the machine. Seeing Jaehyun walk out without showing any sign of addiction, Park Seongjae stuck out his tongue again.

He ran to Jaehyun who was walking and shouted.

“Great! Jaehyun Min. It's only 10 minutes. You succeeded in breaking the Mana Cube in 10 minutes!”

“yes? Did you do well?”

Jaehyun was a bit taken aback.

I thought I found the mana core pretty quickly, but 10 minutes.

I don't know how great this is because I'm from the martial arts world, but judging from the reaction, I didn't think my grades were bad.

‘I think I got a little lucky, but what? Because good is good.'

at that time.

Yuseong approached Lee Jae-hyeon and asked.

“Min Jaehyun. How did you get out of the mana cube so quickly?”

“yes? That's... I found a crystal at the end of the sea, and I broke it...”

Jaehyun scratched his head and slurred his words.

It was because he didn't like confessing that he was able to get out of the cube quickly because he used an expedient.

Maybe Yoo Seong-eun might be disappointed in him.

However, her reaction when she returned was completely different from what Jaehyun expected.

“what?! You said you broke it? fix that?”

Yoo Seong-eun muttered dumbfounded with a face in bewilderment.

‘The crystal of the Mana Cube is a vessel in which all mana is condensed. Normal people can't find it or break it. The fact that he smashed it... means that Jaehyun Min's bowl of mana is bigger than the mana of the entire cube.'

My body trembled a little.

Yoo Sung-eun watched Jae-hyun in a cold sweat.

A greedy smile soon spread across her lips.

“good. Jaehyun Min. Guild Softening. And in the name of Yoo Seong-eun. I will raise you to be the best wizard. Are you ready?”
