Chapter 62

 

Chapter 62: Finally, the D-rank Zone (1)

 

After ending the call with his father, Dohyun focused on what he was doing again.

 

It was none other than the Black Gate’s Human History textbook, one of the textbooks he had bought the day before yesterday.

 

Since it was a textbook with an obviously extraordinary title, Dohyun also thought it was important and was concentrating on it.

 

Thanks to his Analysis skill, Dohyun was looking at the textbook with a quite serious expression as it was automatically translated without having to spend points for interpretation.

 

The Black Gate’s Human History textbook.

 

In other words, it was a textbook closer to a history book that roughly listed the humanities that had been connected to the Black Gates, and like its title, the content was also extraordinary.

 

‘They all perished?’

 

Although the reasons weren’t given, Dohyun could see that a total of three humanities had perished not long after being connected to the Black Gates.

 

The world that lasted the longest was only about 30 years.

 

And that too.

 

‘The world where the Platinum Sword King existed?’

 

Dohyun couldn’t help but be shocked by the fact that a world close to martial arts had only lasted 30 years.

 

What on earth had caused their destruction?

 

The detailed content was missing. It told him how many worlds had been connected to the Black Gates and for how many years they were connected, but all other content wasn’t written.

 

Dohyun tilted his head with quite a frustrated feeling.

 

Excluding the martial arts world, the other worlds were similar to medieval Earth, and another one seemed like an even earlier world, so he thought that could be understandable, but the martial arts world was different.

 

‘If it was a martial arts worldview, it would have been incredibly strong…’

 

As far as Dohyun knew, even just the Platinum Sword King alone possessed tremendous power.

 

But why did it perish, and in just 30 years at that?

 

For now, there was only one thing he could predict.

 

Points.

 

Even now, wasn’t it known that if points weren’t paid, Black Gate portals would open somewhere in the territory and pour out monsters?

 

There were actually quite a few countries where that happened.

 

After several countries’ city centers became ruins, they became alert and started paying maximum attention to the resource called Hunters, didn’t they?

 

Thinking about that, he couldn’t help but think they perished because they couldn’t gather many points.

 

No matter how strong they were, perhaps due to reasons like having a small population.

 

Still, it didn’t make sense, but Dohyun only thought that far.

 

‘Another book might have the reasons written in it.’

 

Thinking there might be another history textbook, Dohyun closed the textbook.

 

There wasn’t much other content to see anyway, and he had finished reading it all.

 

In any case, even after seeing that, Dohyun’s goal remained the same.

 

The strongest Hunter.

 

How could he not achieve at least that much with his Analysis skill?

 

Thinking so, Dohyun warmed up his body appropriately.

 

‘Let’s go in next week.’

 

Finally, it was time to go to the D-rank Zone next week.

 

* * *

 

It was when three days had passed since Dohyun gave him the translation.

 

Jiyuchan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed in the private training room, opened his eyes.

 

Golden Sword.

 

Although it was a swordsmanship textbook that could be called a basic martial art, it was a textbook that contained both internal energy cultivation methods and sword techniques, like in martial arts novels.

 

Looking at the translation that Dohyun had interpreted for him, sent through the still awkward messaging app, Jiyuchan slowly began to swing his sword.

 

He had already mastered techniques like internal energy cultivation methods long ago.

 

Since he had been doing it until just now, he was very naturally using mana manipulation techniques while rotating mana within his body according to what was written in the Golden Sword.

 

At the same time, he was feeling the mana rising from what was called the lower dantian below the navel, up to the middle dantian called the heart, and finally to the upper dantian called the brain, becoming purer as it passed through each dantian.

 

‘…So it’s like a filter.’

 

That description was exactly right.

 

Not all the mana that entered his body was pure, and it filtered out the impure mana, sending it out of the body through each dantian.

 

Thus, only pure mana remained in Jiyuchan’s body, and its light was close to a golden color like morning sunlight.

 

When Jiyuchan imbued that pure mana into his sword and followed the Golden Sword’s techniques, he could see sparkling mana residues turning into powder, leaving golden powder in the air with each sword swing.

 

Seeing that sparkling golden light, he wondered if this was why it was called the Golden Sword.

 

But contrary to that pretty appearance, the power contained in the sword was incredibly fierce.

 

‘This is no joke.’

 

When the sword that had previously been tinged with blue like the color of mana was dyed golden, he could feel explosive hot energy contained in that power that was like morning sunlight.

 

He could even hear a humming sound as if it was rebelling against even its owner, Jiyuchan.

 

It was a situation where if he let his guard down even a little, this golden mana would fluctuate and burst out around him.

 

Even in such a situation, Jiyuchan calmly swung his sword and executed the Golden Sword’s techniques.

 

Whoooosh——

 

Whoooooosh——

 

Although he was swinging the sword endlessly slowly to execute the techniques precisely, the power contained within easily surpassed the power Jiyuchan had handled until now.

 

He wasn’t used to it yet, but by the time the week Dohyun mentioned was up and they entered the D-rank Zone, he would at least be considerably familiar with it.

 

Jiyuchan thought so as he repeatedly swung his sword.

 

‘I need to become stronger.’

 

Now he swung his sword not to avoid losing to Dohyun or to become second place, but to be helpful to Dohyun.

 

Of course.

 

‘…Second place is mine.’

 

He wasn’t completely without lingering attachment to second place.

 

Thus, Jiyuchan was repeatedly swinging his sword in the private training room, gradually becoming accustomed to the techniques of the Golden Sword.

 

* * *

 

Like Jiyuchan, Hanalin had received the manual from Dohyun three days ago, but unlike Jiyuchan, she was studying in her room rather than the training room, handwriting the interpretations into her notebook.

 

She was going through the process of organizing the contents in her mind while transcribing them.

 

Of course, the contents were already stored in the genius Hanalin’s mind, but should I say she was establishing them? While writing by hand, she wasn’t simply memorizing the interpretations but interpreting them in her own way.

 

But perhaps because it was a manual that required paying 3 million points to interpret?

 

It was quite difficult.

 

That didn’t mean Hanalin couldn’t understand it.

 

She could even use it to some extent.

 

‘I understand the principle, and what it means. I can use it too, but….’

 

Infusing intention into magic.

 

This was something the current Hanalin could do.

 

As proof, when Hanalin extended her hand, ice bloomed in the air.

 

Crackle—

 

Ice that formed even though no magic circle had appeared.

 

It was Ice, one of the basic elemental magic spells Hanalin originally used, but it was Ice created with intention alone, without magic circles or magical formulas.

 

Since Hanalin already had all those formulas and magic circles within her, with just her will, those formulas automatically activated, and magic unfolded with intention and mana alone.

 

Hanalin dispelled the ice here and extended her hand again. This time, when Ice’s magic circle unfolded and intention was added.

 

Crackle crackle crackle———!!!

 

She watched the phenomenon with an expression of incomprehension as an even more intense chunk of ice emerged.

 

In addition to the intention to use Ice, when she also used the Ice magic circle, an Ice more than four times larger appeared.

 

Like this, she could manifest magic she originally used with intention alone, and if she added intention while using that magic, the power and size increased tremendously.

 

Hanalin couldn’t understand this principle at all.

 

The fact that magic became stronger simply by adding her intention.

 

And one more thing.

 

‘What exactly is the history of my mental image?’

 

As mentioned about having a clue to mental imagery, it was certainly written in the intention interpretation as well.

 

But Hanalin still hadn’t found the starting point of that mental image.

 

It was said that she needed to grasp her own history, the things that constituted herself, to find that starting point, but no matter how much she meditated, she couldn’t feel that particular thing well.

 

She knew she shouldn’t be impatient, but she was getting a little anxious.

 

She now understood how to infuse intention and how to handle intention, but since she hadn’t obtained the most important clue to mental imagery, it was understandable.

 

Because Hanalin also wanted to be helpful to Dohyun.

 

‘Sigh, what exactly is the beginning of my mental image….’

 

The interpretation said it could be the foundation that forms one’s personality, or a very precious memory could be the beginning of that person’s mental image.

 

She understood, but since she still couldn’t find it, Hanalin sighed, feeling a bit frustrated.

 

“Haah.”

 

Right now she felt so frustrated and thought she was slow, even having pathetic thoughts, but Hanalin didn’t give up and thought.

 

‘Let’s not be impatient.’

 

It was a matter of time anyway.

 

If discovering mental imagery and expressing that mental image to the world was magic, then since she was a genius at magic, she would surely be able to do it.

 

Believing this without doubt, she shook off her anxious and impatient feelings.

 

If more research wouldn’t produce results, it meant no conclusion would come immediately, so there was no need to be more obsessed.

 

Therefore, Hanalin focused on intention instead.

 

Since she wasn’t yet perfectly handling intention, she was checking various magic spells, covering everything from basic elemental magic to general magic.

 

To become stronger so she could help Dohyun.

 

And.

 

‘I can’t lose even to Yuchan oppa.’

 

While likewise thinking that third place wouldn’t do.

 

* * *

 

Time flew by like an arrow, and the day they decided to enter the Black Gate arrived.

 

Dohyun’s party had mentioned this in advance, and naturally, all three used transformation magic to change their appearances with the temporary identities the Association President had given them beforehand, then gathered at the Association.

 

Dohyun, along with Hanalin and Jiyuchan.

 

Since it had been a week since the three had gathered like this, they all had somewhat happy expressions to see each other.

 

Among them, Dohyun looked at the two with strange eyes and said.

 

“It’s been a while for everyone, hasn’t it?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Well, it’s been a week.”

 

When all three were gathered like that, Dohyun opened their status windows with a rather meaningful expression.

 

Seeing the two who had grown much more than before, Dohyun smiled.

 

Thinking that they had worked hard during that time.

 

‘Both of them learned it right away, as expected.’

 

He thought that geniuses were indeed different. When the three entered the Hunter Association, there was someone waiting for them.

 

“You’re Jeongminwoo’s party, right?”

 

“…Ah? Yes, yes, that’s correct.”

 

Dohyun had almost forgotten his temporary identity and nearly said no, but when he barely managed to answer yes, the person who appeared to be an Association Hunter who had been waiting welcomed them and spoke.

 

“I’ll give you a brief orientation about the D-rank Zone before we go in.”
