Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 153
153. White Magic Power Awakening
There are three types of mana.
Dark magic that enhances offensive skills and white magic power that enhances defensive skills.
And regular mana that possesses both attributes.
I had already awakened dark magic, but white magic power was still pending.
‘To stand against the Administrator’s threat, I need to become stronger. Dark magic alone isn’t enough.’
If I awakened white magic power, I could gain enhanced effects not only in healing abilities but also in various buff skills.
‘I need to go to a specific location, just like when I awakened dark magic.’
When I awakened dark magic in the past, I needed a place with strong negative properties.
White magic power was the opposite.
‘A place with strong positive properties is the first condition.’
The second condition?
Active mana movement.
I needed a situation where multiple apostles were using skills.
‘That’s when I can extract the creative properties from mana.’
Then where would be the most suitable place?
I searched for American news on my mobile phone.
Just then, an interesting article caught my eye.
[Apostles Hold Large-Scale Festival at Times Square.]
[Apostles from Around the World Gather for ‘Apostle Festival’…]
[From Magic Performances to Ability Demonstrations, Rich Entertainment.]
Times Square.
A symbol of New York and one of the most vibrant places in the world.
Since countless people gather there, the positive properties would be strong, and with an apostles’ festival, mana movement would be active too.
‘It’s perfect, isn’t it?’
New York was a place I had visited before anyway.
There was no need to book a flight ticket to New York.
Using the Transcendent’s Clockwork Watch’s instant teleportation function, I could get there in one second.
Times Square was truly in a festive atmosphere.
Colorful flags fluttered between the giant electronic billboards, and apostles were showcasing their abilities on stages set up everywhere.
“Wow! He really created fire!”
“Did you see that person floating in the air?”
“Making an ice sculpture in an instant!”
Tourists exclaimed in admiration.
The apostles’ ability demonstrations were like magic performances.
While it might be fascinating entertainment for ordinary people, I saw something different.
‘Mana is overflowing.’
It was natural since hundreds of apostles had gathered.
Every time they used skills, mana spread through the air.
‘I can awaken white magic power here.’
I blended in among the people, pretending to watch the festival.
But in reality, I was analyzing the surrounding mana.
‘I’ll select only the creative properties and store them in my dantian.’
My already precise mana control had developed to an entirely different level after becoming a demigod.
I could now detect and manipulate even the most minute mana flows.
‘This kind of thing is possible even with my eyes closed.’
In front of me, an apostle was demonstrating a healing skill.
Healing an injured pigeon.
“Oh my, it’s really healed!”
“Amazing! How did you do that?”
People applauded.
Meanwhile, I selected only the creative properties from the mana released during the demonstration and absorbed them into my body.
This apostle, that apostle.
Since skill demonstrations were happening everywhere, there was plenty of mana to extract.
[A seed of mana has been generated in your body.]
[You can now use white magic power.]
[Stats are being added.]
I immediately checked my stats.
《Terra : 5,940》
【Stats】
●Strength : 7,072 / Penetration : 7,072
●Durability : 7,072 / Agility : 7,072
●Life : 7,072 / Mana : 7,072
●Regeneration : 7,072 / Resistance : 7,072
●Dark Magic : 7,072 / White Magic Power : 5,941
White Magic Power had been added.
It was a success.
‘To think that White Magic Power, which should have originally started at 1, is now close to 6,000.’
A rapid surge due to the additional stats from Terra.
I could clearly feel the warmth of White Magic Power settling in my core immediately after awakening.
An energy completely opposite to destructive Dark Magic.
‘Now my healing skills must have risen to otherworldly levels.’
When using healing skills or support skills, utilizing White Magic Power is several times more effective than using regular mana.
‘I could probably regenerate severed limbs in an instant.’
Now I could handle both Dark Magic and White Magic Power.
Another step in my preparation to face the Administrator had been completed.
But then, something unexpected happened.
“Huh? It’s Amon!”
Someone recognized me.
It was because I had recently exposed my face while traveling around the entire world to restore the minds of the Twelve Apostles.
Of course, I didn’t mind being recognized, so I hadn’t bothered to hide it.
‘Still, I didn’t expect to be recognized this easily.’
The shout of “Amon” instantly spread to other people.
“Amon? Where?”
“Over there!”
“That’s right! He looks exactly like he did on TV!”
“The hero who stopped terrorism around the world!”
“Amon! Please look over here!”
When I turned my head, an Apostle was looking at me with an excited expression.
“Are you really Amon?”
“Wow, you look even cooler in person!”
“Please take a picture with us!”
People instantly crowded around me.
I had become even more famous worldwide due to the recent Twelve Apostles rescue incident.
“Amon! Amon!”
“He’s a hero!”
“Our savior!”
People cheered.
All the Apostles in Times Square also showed interest in me.
“Amon really came here?”
“It’s really him! The person from the news!”
“Ah, to think I’d get to see Amon in person!”
The festival atmosphere became even more heated.
Just my appearance alone had brought people’s excitement to its peak.
“Amon! Please give me an autograph!”
“Please take a picture with us!”
“How were you able to become so strong?”
“Amon! Please show us a skill!”
People’s attention poured down on me.
But I had already completed my White Magic Power awakening, and there was no longer any reason to stay here.
However.
‘Should I do some fan service? It would also be a good test of White Magic Power’s might.’
My gaze turned toward one man.
It was a man with one amputated leg, leaning on crutches.
As I approached him, the man’s eyes began to widen.
“Uh… do you have some business with me…?”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
I knelt down and placed my hand on the man’s amputated leg stump.
“What is Amon doing right now?”
“I don’t know.”
“Let’s wait and see.”
It was then that everyone’s attention was focused.
“Gasp!”
“What, what is that!?”
“How is this possible!”
The man’s leg was gradually getting longer.
New flesh sprouted from the severed stump, and in an instant, bones, muscles, and blood vessels began regenerating.
“Wh-what is this…?”
The man looked down at his leg with an expression of disbelief.
A completely new leg was growing.
After 10 seconds.
“Try moving.”
The man set down his crutches with trembling hands.
And carefully put weight on his regenerated leg.
“Does it hurt?”
“Not, not at all.”
The man took one step, then two steps.
It was perfect.
The man’s eyes were filling with indescribable emotion beyond amazement.
“It’s, it’s a miracle!”
“His leg grew back!”
“Amon performed a miracle!”
“Amon really is a god!”
People cheered.
‘Was White Magic Power this powerful?’
To completely regenerate a severed limb.
I had tried it as a test, but it was much more powerful than I thought.
“Lord Amon! Please take a picture with me!”
People rushed over, crowding around me.
There seemed to be nowhere to escape in this cramped place.
“Sorry, but I have urgent business.”
I left the scene with just those words.
In the blink of an eye with Instant Teleportation.
That night, media around the entire world was buzzing about the incident at Times Square.
[Amon completely regenerates severed leg at Times Square…]
[Hundreds of eyewitnesses testify ‘We saw a miracle.’]
[The Times Square miracle. Amon’s new healing ability.]
[Medical community shocked: ‘Impossible with current technology.’]
[Experts evaluate it as ‘A new turning point in human medical advancement.’]
On various SNS platforms, videos from the scene were spreading in real time.
@NewYorker_Mike : Saw Amon directly at Times Square. Confirmed with my own eyes that a leg actually grew back. Got chills #Amon #miracle
@Sarah_witness : Leg regeneration in 10 seconds? Is this really reality? Even filming it on video, I can’t believe it. #TimesSquare #Amon
@DocMiller_MD : Speaking as a doctor, the video I just saw shows something absolutely impossible with current medicine. I’m curious what exactly Amon is.
Medical professionals worldwide were also unable to hide their shock.
[Amon’s healing ability surpasses the limits of modern medicine.]
[Could this present a new paradigm in regenerative medicine?]
[The Jesus of the 21st century? Perspectives on the Amon phenomenon.]
The man who regained his leg also expressed intense emotion in interviews with various media outlets.
[Amon gave me a new life. For 15 years I couldn’t walk without crutches… Now I can even run. It really feels like a dream.]
Various reactions also came from the religious community.
[Vatican interprets Amon’s healing acts as miracles containing God’s grace.]
[Vatican gives positive evaluation as ‘acts performed with good intentions.’]
On the other hand, some voices of concern also emerged.
[Amon’s abilities have transcended the human realm.]
[Need for caution regarding uncontrollable power.]
However, most reactions were positive.
Disability rights organizations and the medical community in particular showed great interest in Amon’s abilities.
@DisabilityRights : Amon’s healing abilities are giving hope to disabled people worldwide. I pray such miracles happen to more people.
@MedicalNews : The ripple effects Amon will have on the medical community are beyond imagination. Has a revolution in regenerative medicine begun?
Testimonies from Apostles who were at the Times Square scene also followed.
[As soon as Amon touched him, the leg really grew back. It was like turning back time.]
[I can use Healing Skills too, but Amon’s ability was on a different dimension. It’s the realm of gods.]
This incident elevated Amon’s status once more.
He began to be perceived not just as a powerful Apostle, but as a being who performs miracles.
‘It doesn’t matter to me either way.’
Whatever the world was saying, returning home, I was only interested in the effects of White Magic Power.
‘My defensive skills have been enhanced.’
After testing several times, Cloud’s Protection, Breath of Regression, Blood Shield, Power of Immortality, Balance Gap, Blood Supply and other
survival-related skills were all affected by White Magic Power.
‘Now I can face the Administrator more safely.’
I could enhance attack power with Dark Magic, and defense with White Magic Power.
It was balanced growth.
‘I’ve completed White Magic Power awakening too, so now I should seriously resume conquering the Labyrinth.’
The Labyrinth beyond the 400th Floor was waiting.
And the Administrator, who could appear again at any time.
‘Go ahead and try showing up.’
With both Dark Magic and White Magic Power now in my possession, I should be able to fight the Administrator to some degree.
