Episode 70

 

Chapter 70: Reversal? (1)

 

What they obtained this time was similarly one manual and one item, both of which were items and a manual related to magic.

 

Since the teleportation they had obtained last time was B-rank, just looking at the grade alone, this manual was definitely much better.

 

However, the word “sorcery” attached in front was puzzling.

 

‘What is sorcery?’

 

It wasn’t magic but written as sorcery, which was somewhat puzzling, so when he examined it, sure enough, their all-purpose analysis informed him.

 

With the analysis kindly explaining, Dohyun was able to understand.

 

At the explanation that it was a type of primitive magic that was more demanding than high-level magic and had better utility than skills of the same grade, Dohyun’s eyes couldn’t help but shine.

 

“Damn.”

 

When Dohyun unconsciously cursed, since this was the first time they’d seen such a reaction from him, Hanalin and Jiyuchan were bewildered.

 

Before they could react to that, as soon as he checked the rewards, the surroundings rippled and they were able to exit to the front of the door where the dungeon had been.

 

As they exited through the door, it disappeared on its own, and as soon as Dohyun’s party returned to the labyrinth, they instinctively quickly surveyed the surroundings, but since they felt no presence of people, they quickly lowered their guard.

 

After all of Dohyun’s party relaxed somewhat, only then did Hanalin and Jiyuchan approach closely with curious expressions.

 

And seeing the manual and staff in Dohyun’s hands, Hanalin’s eyes lit up.

 

The manual would only be known once opened, but the staff was obviously for Hanalin, wasn’t it?

 

Though Hanalin couldn’t say it outright, she seemed to be secretly hopeful, and appeared to be planning to wait quietly until Dohyun examined it.

 

Since Jiyuchan also had a Dwarven longsword, he wasn’t particularly interested in Hanalin getting a staff, and instead his eyes lit up looking at the manual.

 

He hoped it would be a manual he could learn this time too, and waited with such thoughts. Dohyun quickly examined the manual first with those two in front of him.

 

‘The staff can be analyzed immediately just by looking at it.’

 

Since what kind of ability the sorcery contained in the manual had was the priority, when Dohyun first opened the manual and pretended to read it, naturally the analysis message appeared.

 

After acquiring the AP as well, the description window for Reversal appeared before Dohyun.

 

‘A skill worthy of its name.’

 

After hearing all that explanation, he could tell it was definitely an overpowered skill.

 

Dohyun unconsciously pretended to read to the end of the manual, and thus a message appeared before him.

 

Since there was a manual, it was even a half-price event. Though his AP had been reduced to 4,000 after learning the Golden Sword and Telekinesis Magic last time, he had gained 1,000 AP this time and had 100,000 points saved up just in case, so there was no shortage at all.

 

‘When have I ever hesitated about something like this, Analysis?’

 

Grinning as he said that, when Dohyun immediately thought of his intention to learn it, a message appeared right away and he was able to acquire Reversal.

 

Though it was disappointing that he couldn’t use it at its original power, since that would naturally be unlocked as his grade increased, he didn’t worry about it much.

 

As Dohyun learned Reversal like that, the concept and principles of Reversal flowed precisely into his mind.

 

Then, seeing that Dohyun had immediately learned it, both Jiyuchan and Hanalin’s eyes sparkled simultaneously.

 

Since Dohyun could learn both magic and techniques, it seemed like Dohyun had just learned it. As both wore expectant expressions, Dohyun grinned looking at those two.

 

“Hmm, it’s magic-type for now.”

 

“Ooh!”

 

“Tch.”

 

At those words, Hanalin was delighted and Jiyuchan was disappointed.

 

Well, but it couldn’t be helped.

 

It was Jiyuchan who had performed very well in this dungeon. Shouldn’t Hanalin at least have something to gain like this?

 

Thinking that way, Dohyun similarly examined the other reward, the staff.

 

Since items could be known immediately upon looking, without any delay he looked right away, and a better description than expected appeared.

 

‘Oh, this is?’

 

It happened to be similar to the technique Hanalin used.

 

One of Hanalin’s strengths was a technique where she recycled used mana to cast attack magic again, and this was a staff that increased power when using that technique.

 

This was obviously Hanalin’s no matter who looked at it.

 

Of course, the mana recovery and increased magic casting speed were also quite useful effects.

 

As Dohyun was analyzing the item like that, Hanalin waited with expectant eyes, and Dohyun, having finished the analysis, told Hanalin.

 

“Mana recovery increases and the time to cast magic decreases.”

 

“Oh, that’s really good?”

 

“Plus, when you reuse mana from nature, the power of magic increases.”

 

“!!!”

 

Hanalin covered her mouth, unable to speak from joy.

 

Since it was an effect that fit so perfectly it could be called a dedicated item, Hanalin was delighted. Even Jiyuchan had to acknowledge this.

 

“Congratulations, Hanalin.”

 

“I’m really excited. Thank you.”

 

“It’s the standard rule to give party members items they can use when they drop.”

 

When Dohyun said that, Hanalin also comfortably accepted the item.

 

Excitedly examining the staff from various angles, she quite liked the design too.

 

The end was pointed like a spear, and the head of the staff had a sapphire-like gem carved in a spherical shape that looked easily twice the size of a human fist, with the staff wrapping around that gem and ending in a pointed spear-like form.

 

Since it was a staff that looked quite good even at a glance, Hanalin hugged the staff tightly and was quite delighted.

 

Seeing her happy seemed pleasant, so Dohyun nodded, then as if something interesting occurred to him, he grinned and looked at Hanalin and Jiyuchan and asked.

 

“Aren’t you curious about the manual?”

 

“I’m curious!” “I’m curious!”

 

When Hanalin and Jiyuchan spoke simultaneously, Dohyun nodded and smiled as if he would tell them. Both became slightly uneasy seeing Dohyun’s smile, but since they were really curious, they looked at Dohyun.

 

Then Dohyun looked at those two and said.

 

“Both of you try attacking me at the same time.”

 

Normally, even if a party member asked them to attack, they would hesitate for a moment or ask for reasons, but Jiyuchan and Hanalin had none of that—they aimed their weapons at Dohyun and immediately launched their attacks.

 

Hanalin pointed the sharp tip of her staff at Dohyun and fired the intermediate elemental magic snow storm she had used in their previous sparring match, concentrated in one direction.

 

Narrowed to an even tighter range than before, it became a pure white and blue beam that flew toward Dohyun, while Jiyuchan wrapped his sword in brilliant golden sword energy and drew his blade like lightning, performing a quick draw toward Dohyun.

 

A sun-like sword strike was sharply honed and swung toward Dohyun. Watching those two attacks, Dohyun could feel his spine instantly turn cold.

 

‘They really are fast.’

 

As Dohyun thought this, he used Reverse Flow against the sword and beam flying toward him.

 

Thud——

 

And in an instant, as if the world had stopped, the beam and sword came to a halt.

 

The flow itself was blocked, making Jiyuchan and Hanalin’s flashes unable to move. However, Dohyun quickly escaped from that spot the moment they stopped, and immediately after he moved away, the beam and sword energy shot forward, piercing and slashing through where Dohyun had been.

 

Whoosh——

 

Slash——

 

Feeling that brief but truly momentary stop, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s eyes widened like lanterns.

 

The flow of mana had briefly stopped, making them unable to move.

 

It was only about 0.1 seconds, not even a full second, but that time was enough for Dohyun to dodge like this and do quite a lot, so they couldn’t help but realize the greatness of Reverse Flow.

 

“Th-that just now…”

 

“Did you make us stop?”

 

As Hanalin and Jiyuchan were shocked by the incomprehensible phenomenon, Dohyun grinned and nodded his head.

 

Then he roughly explained the principle.

 

“I read the opponent’s mana flow and reverse it to temporarily make them stop.”

 

“Wow. Even though my mana detection might be inferior to yours, I’d say it’s still high-level, but I could barely feel it. I only vaguely knew for a moment that I had stopped.”

 

“…I did feel that I stopped, but it was so brief that I thought it might be my imagination. I saw that the mana flow stopped, but it felt like buffering, so I wondered if I was mistaken.”

 

Hearing the vivid testimonies of Jiyuchan and Hanalin, Dohyun couldn’t help but grin.

 

If those two, who could be called geniuses, could only feel that much, most people might not even realize they had stopped.

 

A technique that could forcibly create a 0.1-second gap during combat. It was truly terrifying.

 

Dohyun then said to Hanalin.

 

“This is a kind of primitive magic, so if the conditions are met, you should be able to learn it too, Nalin. It would be good to learn it together with teleportation, don’t you think?”

 

“…I’ll work hard on it.”

 

“…I’m jealous.”

 

As Hanalin got her hands on an incredibly overpowered magic technique, Jiyuchan’s lips slightly protruded as if he was genuinely envious, but Dohyun pretended not to notice.

 

Even if he sulked, there wasn’t much Dohyun could teach him anyway.

 

Besides, hadn’t he given him the golden sword?

 

‘If you think about it, the golden sword is somewhat higher tier than telekinetic magic.’

 

In a way, wasn’t this how the balance between him and Hanalin was maintained?

 

Dohyun thought this as he smiled slightly, and anyway, since they had become tired from the dungeon.

 

“Shall we return to the dormitory?”

 

“Sounds good.”

 

“Let’s go rest. I’m too dizzy.”

 

Since everyone agreed, they returned to the dormitory like that.
