Chapter 284
284: Is This Mana Cultivation Technique? (2)
* * *
Around the time the Overseer Party returned to Earth without anyone knowing, a Staff member who had seen the Stone Tablet’s records contacted Han Muyeol.
That’s how they learned Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan had returned to Korea, but Han Muyeol didn’t take any immediate action.
Why?
The moment Han Muyeol made a move, everyone would certainly discover Dohyun’s true identity.
Until the peace agreement with the Draxion Dimension was finalized, he had planned to keep Dohyun’s identity hidden.
The agreement explicitly stated that any harm to Dohyun would result in hostility with Draxion.
The same logic applied to Beladrina and the Celestials.
But this time, circumstances were different.
‘Not yet.’
Whether Dohyun knew this or not, if he had obtained weapons through the peace agreement with Draxion—the dimension of the Dragon-humans—then the peace agreement with Beladrina—the dimension of the Celestials—was essentially securing technology instead.
Especially since it was explicitly stated in the peace agreement itself.
Article 6 of this Dimensional Peace Agreement was the key.
While the Draxion Dimension had a clause stipulating no son-in-law arrangements, the agreement with Beladrina had been modified as follows.
[6. The Dimension “Beladrina” shall appropriately transmit knowledge of Mage Engineering to the Dimension “Korea, Earth.”]
The phrase “appropriately” was ambiguous and could be subject to interpretation, but since the agreement had been concluded as smoothly as with Draxion, it remained an unknown variable how much technology would actually be transferred.
And what frightened Han Muyeol more than military force was precisely this technology.
‘They won’t kidnap Dohyun or his family out of fear of hostility….’
But they would certainly be desperate to recruit him by any means necessary.
Without resorting to Draxion’s military might.
Even though Korea had concluded a peace agreement, Han Muyeol understood one thing clearly: that agreement existed solely because of Dohyun.
In other words.
‘If Dohyun were to leave for another country….’
Both that technology and military power could be transferred to another nation, which was why this national conference was treating the matter with utmost gravity.
If Dohyun were just any other Hunter, Han Muyeol might have assumed he’d likely stay in Korea, but he knew Dohyun far too well.
That’s why he was anxious.
‘If we give him something big enough, he might leave. That bastard.’
In his heart, Han Muyeol doubted Dohyun would go that far, but based on his track record so far, it seemed entirely possible—and his anxiety only grew.
That’s why.
“You must understand that if this person leaves for another country, all these benefits could follow him there.”
He was pressing the point as forcefully as possible.
With Han Muyeol making such a strong case, everyone was forced to take the matter seriously.
Thus, while keeping information as hidden as possible, Han Muyeol was pushing to revise the legislation in a direction that benefited Hunters and the Dohyun Party.
As Hunter welfare continued to improve because of Dohyun, Han Muyeol rubbed his weary, darkened eyes and participated even more actively in the conference.
Driven solely by his devotion to the nation.
* * *
Just as Han Muyeol had anticipated, other countries that had already been searching for Dohyun suddenly intensified their efforts several times over the moment the Celestials became involved.
And for good reason.
I couldn’t even fathom how extraordinary the technological knowledge the Celestials—the very pinnacle of magical engineering—would impart to me.
Converting this to monetary value, anyone with a shred of sense would realize that all the profits I’d enjoyed until now paled in comparison.
And that wasn’t even the most striking part.
「Title: Can we recruit Suhyun Lee?
Isn’t this peace agreement basically maintained by Suhyun Lee’s existence?
If we somehow manage to recruit him, wouldn’t we become the main players of the peace agreement???」
└I think so too.
└What is our country’s Hunter Association even doing? Why aren’t they recruiting Suhyun Lee?
└Exactly.
Everyone was clamoring about it while searching for Suhyun—or rather, Dohyun—but there were no tangible results.
The Hunter Association had twisted things so that Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan were still recorded as E-rank, while Lee Suhyun had been sent to the Ilseong Guild with all his information transferred, creating a perfect information divide that made him nearly impossible to find.
Once people learned he was affiliated with the Ilseong Guild, everyone began inquiring with them, but even that became difficult because of Ilseong Guild Master Lee Jaeho’s departure to Draxion.
On top of that, Lee Jaeho had even instructed Dohyun not to visit the Ilseong Guild for the time being, making it impossible to establish any connection between Dohyun and Lee Suhyun.
As chaos erupted overseas, Korea couldn’t help but descend into pandemonium as well.
“Have you heard of Lee Suhyun?”
“Don’t even mention it. Everyone knows by now.”
“Wow, I never thought our country would produce a Hunter like this.”
“Exactly what I’m saying.”
It was naturally a frequent topic of small talk during meals.
[A Hunter born in our country that Japan fears and America envies!?]
[The reason China trembled and abandoned economic retaliation!?]
[American tariffs lowered because of this Hunter!?]
YouTube was flooded with nationalistic videos pouring out one every minute.
It was no exaggeration to say the entire world was in an uproar because of Dohyun alone, yet Dohyun himself paid it no mind whatsoever.
After returning yesterday, I’d been too exhausted to do anything but sleep, and upon waking, I would normally have grabbed my phone to watch YouTube or shorts, but today was different.
‘Finally!’
I gazed at the Mana Cultivation Method: Ether Spectrum in my hands with an eager smile.
I’d already given Hanalin one translated copy, but I held the original myself, taking a deep breath as I looked down at it.
Then I casually peered into my inner world.
I wanted to see what the beings dwelling in my inner world were doing before I created something new, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
Though Sashin, who’d arrived not long ago, had taken a beating upon his arrival, he was now quietly meditating in a corner, which I could observe.
Occasionally he’d flinch and startle whenever someone passed by nearby, which looked a bit pathetic, but I figured it was understandable.
‘They’re doing well.’
With my inner world inspection complete, I muttered to myself, wondering if it was finally time to create something.
‘Are you ready?’
As I spoke to Analysis, characters naturally appeared before my eyes.
[Analysis confirms that all preparations are complete.]
I smiled contentedly at those words and nodded.
Just as I was anticipating how things would change, Analysis’s words appeared before my eyes once more.
[Upon precise Analysis of “Mana Cultivation Method – Ether Spectrum,” a connection has been discovered with the Heart Method – “Heavenly Mechanism Myriad Transformation Formation.”]
[You can create or replicate a new mana cultivation method by applying two skills together.]
Dohyun tilted his head slightly at those words, looking somewhat puzzled.
He wondered how Heavenly Secrets Transformation, a cultivation technique, could be related to Ether Spectrum, a mana cultivation method—but he quickly grasped the connection.
Heavenly Secrets Transformation was a secret formula that manipulated the Heavenly Essence, which could transform into anything.
It was a method of refining mana into inner energy by elevating it through cultivation technique, and Ether Spectrum, just like Heavenly Secrets Transformation, was an ultimate mana cultivation method capable of using all magic.
So it made sense that the two shared common ground.
‘But how exactly is this supposed to work?’
He couldn’t quite grasp the method.
Every time he’d used Fusion before, he’d combined existing skills into one to create something new.
So he wondered if this meant merging Ether Spectrum and Heavenly Secrets Transformation together.
[It doesn’t work that way.]
Analysis rejected that notion.
As Dohyun pondered what the method could be, he soon shook his head.
‘It’ll work out fine.’
When had Analysis ever been wrong?
The moment Dohyun decided to trust Analysis with this, the skill displayed text as if expressing gratitude.
[Analysis pledges to do its utmost.]
Seeing such an unusual expression of intent from Analysis, Dohyun nodded in agreement.
As if saying “let’s give it a try,” Analysis began to exert its power according to Dohyun’s will, and thanks to the considerate Analysis, Dohyun could directly perceive the process it was undertaking.
A brilliant light emanated from Dohyun, and the moment Analysis’s power was added, he felt something extraordinary.
It was Analysis as always, yet its power deepened further.
Analysis, which normally grasped origins, now pierced beyond the origin itself to probe into the past where that origin was born—a process Dohyun could vaguely sense.
‘This is…’
A method of utilizing Analysis made possible only because he had directly witnessed the Transcendent Lucy and experienced her nature firsthand.
Flowing beyond the origin to the past where the origin was born, he could now analyze the genesis itself, and through this, he could access the faint Record embedded deep within the Analysis skill.
In that moment, true Analysis was unleashed—tracing back to the very genesis of how the skill was born and who created it.
“Ugh.”
A groan of pain escaped his lips.
Was it because he was attempting to use an authority-like trait without even filling his insufficient rank?
The backlash was considerable.
Perhaps that’s why.
[Failure]
[Failure]
[Analysis failed while following the Record, unable to reach the complete Record.]
Such text appeared before Dohyun’s eyes.
Failure.
It was a word he hadn’t seen in a long time, but Dohyun felt no disappointment.
[Failed to approach Magic through Record, thus failed to obtain the new trait Magic.]
Along with that text, he could see the image of a woman with flowing red hair, smiling with noble grace, shaking her head as if to say the time wasn’t right yet.
It was regrettable, but he felt no disappointment.
Dohyun was well aware that this wasn’t what Analysis had been targeting from the start.
And finally, the moment Dohyun and Analysis reached the place they’d been waiting for.
Another message materialized before him.
[You have successfully gained access to some skills through the ‘Record’ possessed by ‘Magic’.]
Though the attempt to access the characteristic called ‘Magic’ itself had failed, the partial success lay in accessing the ‘Record’ that Magic possessed.
The original Mana Cultivation Method Ether Spectrum, which had been used to touch that ‘Magic’, burned away and vanished, but that was fine.
Because I had obtained a replacement cultivation method.
[You have acquired the Mana Cultivation Method – ‘Genesis [SS]’.]
‘It worked!’
