“…What did you say just now?”

At the abruptly thrown question Revius narrowed his brow.

Han-bit asked again with a confident face.

“Aren’t you curious what kind of power it would manifest? Wouldn’t it be enough if it’s to the extent of breaking the tower’s barrier?”

– ?

– Why break that;

– Told him to attract curiosity, but doing a suable action…….

– Let’s go with act first report later.

“…….”

Revius met his gaze while remaining silent.

A little while later, he made a very faint smile.

“Are you saying you can destroy my barrier.”

“If you are anxious I will not touch it.”

“There is no need to worry. Because there is no way my barrier will break.”

A peculiar war of nerves contained in the conversation going back and forth.

Revius holds strong pride in his product.

However, as much as that pride, his curiosity and desire for exploration were big.

Sssk-

At that time, Nia who was watching the situation slyly approached.

The girl thrust her head out and spoke with a small voice.

“Quickly change to another method. If it’s a barrier our Director made, you’ll absolutely not be able to touch it.”

“Absolutely?”

“You can see it right away. That appearance that seems to know nothing but research! He wouldn’t have left even a single weak point!”

Nia strongly warned waving her hands.

It was also a reaction stemming from trust in the Director’s skill.

Han-bit watching that appearance smiled and spoke.

“You’re helping me?”

“That’s obvious. Both Dad and the Director immensely like you, Adventurer Oppa right? Then it means you’re a person with extremely good character and skill. Defending Ifrit together too and all…….”

Nia recited the reasons she was helping one by one.

Because it was far too pure worry a smile came out automatically.

– Cute. Lol

– Let’s listen to Nia’s words.

– I acknowledge.

– I support.

“Anyway! You must do it with another method instead of the barrier. How about collecting magic materials and such? Since you’re an adventurer you know many peculiar things too right?”

“Yeah. Because it’s dangerous go beside the Director.”

“Uh? You really can’t touch the barrier…….”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Han-bit pushed Nia’s back and returned her to a safe place.

Revius watching that appearance slowly moved his steps.

“You may begin. I hope you do not get frustrated even if you fail.”

“Understood.”

He who stood beside Nia had a blunt expression.

Although his inside must be full of curiosity.

The girl is still hopping about drawing an X with her arms from behind.

‘Feels new.’

The method to satisfy that blunt man’s curiosity.

That is truly not an easy matter, but if it’s the current Han-bit it was possible.

Because he possesses a power he absolutely wouldn’t expect.

Sssk-

Han-bit took out the supply staff from his inventory.

Raising it towards the sky he concentrated his mind.

Fwoosh-!

Salion’s flame blazing along the surface of the wooden staff.

Using Attribute Manifestation on a supply-level weapon like this is not suitable.

Because it is bound to break unable to withstand the Spirit King’s power.

However, this time once was enough.

“……!”

At the bloomed flame and heat Revius opened his eyes wide.

It is not magic.

It is not a magic tool either.

That felt like a power more fundamental than that, a power that shouldn’t exist in this place.

“Phew.”

He cannot preheat as much as he wants.

Even if unstable, he must focus on releasing the power.

Fwoosh-!

The gradually strengthening flame completely dyed the staff at some point.

The surface that was already scorching and starting to crumble.

Han-bit who waited until the precarious moment raised the staff towards the sky.

“Fire Lance!”

Fwoosh-!

The flame shot out along with the chant transformed into the shape of a huge spear.

And the moment the sharp tip reached the transparent veil.

Clang-!

Along with a sharp noise an intense red shockwave exploded.

Whoosh-!

“Ugh!”

“Uwah!”

At the hot aftermath that swept the rooftop everyone lowered their posture reflexively.

The ones staring straight at the sky were only two people.

“……!”

Revius looking upwards with his eyes wide open.

At the end of his gaze, his barrier dyed with red flame was spread out.

– Wow.

– Crazy. Lol

– Attribute manifestation on magic is f*cking unbalanced;

– But is it right that it’s broken?

– Fire is still burning.

The blazing flame made the state of the barrier unrecognizable.

However, Revius already knew the result.

“This is the one from the city wall…….”

Words muttered without being able to take his gaze off.

It seems he probably watched the subjugation scene of the first wave.

Nia was in the middle of looking only at the sky with a blank face.

Srrk-

The swaying flame gradually started to become faint.

The center of the barrier revealed through it.

That place was in a completely pierced state along with a distorted crack.

Crumble-

The supply staff held in Han-bit’s hand turned into ashes and broke.

He was just thankful it endured until the release of magic.

“…….”

Revius’s silence continued for a while.

Han-bit knew well that his heart was pounding.

Because perhaps that sight might also be touching the dream he had been chasing.

Revius who fixed his gaze on the barrier asked as if chanting.

“Since when did you use the spirit’s power?”

A question brought out with a voice containing many emotions.

Han-bit also looking at the broken barrier spoke.

“It hasn’t been long. Though what just happened is power borrowed from the Spirit King’s trace.”

“…Spirit King? Are you speaking of Salion?”

“It is a trace to the end. I happened to obtain it by chance.”

“Hah.”

The identity of the power that missed the expectation by far.

However recalling the beautiful flame he had no choice but to nod his head.

Revius whose eyes became a bit distant continued one more question.

“How does the spirit’s power feel compared to magic?”

“Well. Different from formalized magic… I cannot explain it other than the power of nature.”

“Right. They are nature itself. Embracing overwhelming power and beautiful terror. Like the beautiful flame that pierced that barrier.”

The remaining flame had completely faded at some point.

Revius who blankly looked at the dying flame put his hand in his embrace.

And then taking out one thick book handed it to Han-bit.

“It was very surprising, and moving. If it’s you, you might complete this magic someday.”

Ding-

[The quest has been completed.]

[Obtained Revius’s Research Magic Book.]

[Stat Points 15 given.]

[EXP increased by 200,000.]

[Level increased by 2.]

[Stat Points 2 given.]

Sssk-

He who touched it quickly turned the cover.

Then a hologram window covered with a gold border popped up.

[Do you wish to use it? (Yes/No)]

Beep-

As soon as he touched the ‘Yes’ button immediately, the hologram vanished.

It was right after that when the message popped up.

[Hidden Skill Elemental Amplification (4th Rank-Epic) is added.]

‘…Elemental Amplification?’

Han-bit focused only on the skill’s name.

He who quickly opened the skill list expanded the contents.

[Elemental Amplification]

Rank: 4

Grade: Epic

Type: Active

Description: An incomplete magic Revius devised while longing for the spirit’s power.

Consumes a lot of mana at once, instantly elevating the performance of all skills embracing elements.

If you meet an excellent researcher you might be able to develop the research of this magic.

– Hidden vending machine is crazy;

– Magic enhancement ㄷㄷ

– Since it’s elemental does it apply to spirits too?

– Spirits probably don’t work?

– Daring to as a mere human;

– If you turn off the power you can’t do anything right?

– And among this you even have to research?

– Incomplete means it can develop…….

At the new skill contents viewers poured out all sorts of opinions.

Avant-garde standing beside him whispered, flashing his eyes imbued with brilliance.

“There were occasionally NPCs longing for spirits. But Revius didn’t show any signs at all… if it’s this much he was more sincere than anyone. The element of researching magic is truly groundbreaking. Even the magic book remained as is.”

His gaze which was continuing analysis fluidly was fixed on the book held in Han-bit’s hand.

A magic book that would normally have disappeared right after learning the magic.

It was remaining perfectly intact revealing its presence.

“Are you imparting magic that hasn’t finished research to me?”

Han-bit threw a question he was genuinely curious about.

Because although Revius enjoys trial and error, he is not a person who would reveal his incomplete research.

He thought that was definitely the reason he hadn’t heard of this magic in the past.

“This is not research for my achievements. I merely hope this magic will be completed someday.”

“…You are entrusting that to me?”

“If you are a figure of the extent to use the Spirit King’s power the possibility is sufficient. You will understand more if you look at the contents.”

He recommended turning the pages with a hand gesture.

Han-bit who lowered his gaze moved his hand and opened the first page.

The contents started with records listing incidents of the past.

This he knew far too well from hearing it directly from Revius.

Being helped by a spirit in a crisis situation, such honest contents.

The connected page was a research log.

Records of all sorts of trial and error and efforts spread endlessly.

Even while repeating failure and failure, the firmly packed enthusiasm did not scatter even a bit.

‘It certainly is different.’

What Revius intended to do could be sufficiently understood.

Because actually various attempts to imitate the spirit’s power were made by several mages.

However, establishing such specific theories was to the extent of being quite shocking.

Flip-

Han-bit quickly examined the contents.

Detailed interpretation is necessary for research, but right now overall grasping was more important.

On Revius’s face watching that appearance, a bit of tension lingered.

Tap-

Han-bit who confirmed until the last page in no time closed the book.

“I understood the general flow. The interpretation of spirits is almost accurate.”

“…You understood?”

At those words Revius’s eyes opened wide.

Han-bit nodded his head and answered.

“Because I am a person who borrows the spirit’s power, there were many things that hit home. Did you think of all the theories alone?”

“I referenced data the Sage left behind secretly. It became the foundation of my research.”

An answer returned peacefully like flowing water.

However, Han-bit asked back with a questioning voice.

“There is data the Sage left behind secretly?”
