The Second Salvation Myth of a Retired Returning Hero

chapter 5



5. skill

[The skill ‘Hecleus’s formula – Regime’ has been created.]

skill system. When a skill is created, ‘correction’ is applied to the apostle’s behavior.

At the time of learning in class, many cadets, including Doyoon, did not understand what the hell it meant to apply corrections to behavior.

The instructor’s explanation was added, but in the end, the conclusion was ‘you can learn by using the skill.’ was

‘By the way… They say it’s so hard to create a skill, so it’s created right away after using it once?’

The growth direction of apostles using the system is quite diverse. Raise stat levels, create traits, collect valuable items, and more.

‘Compared to the old days when all I had to do was grit my teeth and train, it’s much better.’

Raising the skill level is one of the ways.

Because the correction of the system increases as the skill level goes up, the type of skill and its level are also said to be one of the measures of the strength of the apostle.

‘Skill correction… I guess I’ll have to experiment with it after my body recovers.’

With the current state of his body, he couldn’t possibly perform the Hecleos formula one more time.

Doyoon sat cross-legged on the floor of the dorm. First of all, he had to focus on piercing blood, not skills.

He closed his eyes and breathed in the mana in the air. I gathered enough mana in my lungs and concentrated it in my heart.

Intense pumping that circulates blood throughout the body. With that power, he shot mana through his whole body at once.

“Puff…! Cool!”

Black blood spurted out like a mist through his cough. The fishy smell of blood fills the mouth. Hemoptysis due to internal injury.

An ignorant way to pierce a blocked path by shooting mana so strong that the blood vessels become tattered. But none are as effective as this.

This has already been confirmed through experimentation. This body, which shines at a level 7 physical stat, has a tremendous regeneration rate, so internal injuries of this magnitude can be self-healed quickly.

Of course, the process of tearing down the walls of blood vessels is excruciatingly painful.

However, Doyoon is not a weak new recruit. Enoch Roosevolnik is a warrior who has suffered 17 deaths and overcome countless adversities and crises.

Pain was a daily routine for him.

This was only possible for Enoch Roosevolnik, who did not take care of himself and had the gift of transcendental mana control.

While chewing and swallowing the pain of thousands of needles piercing every nook and cranny of his body, Doyoon continued to work without any movement.

A week passed after the mana test, and the second week of the cradle passed.

In the meantime, Doyoon has been confined to the dormitory and focused on piercing the blood.

When he showed up, it was only during roll call and mealtime, but when he appeared in the dining room, the instructors gathered like bees.

Just like on the playground, they poured out questions without giving Doyoon a break. In particular, he was interested in Doyoon’s acquired traits and mana crippled.

For them, it was imperative to find out if Doyun’s mana crippling was permanent, and to evaluate the value of this talent.

What if treatment is possible? Not to mention. He is the best talent to recruit no matter what.

However, many people fell away at Do-yoon’s declaration.

“I am an earthling.”

The instructors poured out a sigh of regret.

earthling.

A civilization dimension full of dust, with no mana in the atmosphere. What that meant was clear.

It is possible to heal Doyoon’s mana crippling, but the blood flow, which should have been sensitive by nature, has hardened and severely cuts off his potential. His value plummeted.

Of course, it didn’t matter to Doyoon.

Do-yoon’s body is the body of a divine beast guaranteed by the system. There is no way that his potential could be diminished just because a little dust had accumulated in the bloodstream.

He would be in perfect condition if only the dust filled with blood was removed immediately, but there was no way the instructors would know such details.

Living in this world, being left behind in mana talent is fatal. The large guilds all fell away, and only the instructors of the small and medium sized guilds remained and flirted with him.

They still coveted Doyoon. Even if the potential is low, it is a high-quality talent that can be used immediately without training and investment costs.

It’s just that his potential is lacking, but his combat power that he showed in the test was already a full-fledged apostle.

Still, compared to before, there were a lot fewer people bothering Doyun, so he was able to enjoy his meal relatively comfortably.

And, there was another change.

“Find it unconditionally! must!”

As time passed, the identity of the boss monster killer that only the archery instructor knew spread throughout the cradle.

The issue of Do-yoon was quickly forgotten. A rookie who appeared like a comet, and his mana crippled. It was a very interesting story, but compared to the boss monster killer, it was a firefly in front of the sun.

The appearance of the boss mob killer was quickly reported to each guild. Naturally, the kingdom of Skeletonia, where Doyun’s cradle was located, was turned upside down.

At the initiative of the royal family, the guilds immediately signed an information control pact. It was an effort to prevent other countries from noticing the existence of the boss mob killer.

The guilds continued to put pressure on the cradle by demanding disclosure of information about the boss mob killer. Thanks to this, the dean and vice-dean were able to spend busy days without blinking their eyes.

Instructors now always talked about boss mob killers whenever two or more gathered.

At first, Do-yoon emerged as a strong candidate, but was soon eliminated. Because the wounds on the boss monster’s body were sword scars.

No one thought that Doyoon’s main weapon would be a sword.

Just like that, the 2nd week of Yoram, which was more lively than any other jockey, passed.

[The acquired attribute ‘Mana Impairment’ has disappeared.]

[The skill ‘Războinic’s flow mana technique’ has been created.]

Doyoon’s blood piercing was over.

+++

“Whoa…”

A heavy exhalation flowed from Doyoon’s mouth and sank heavily.

He shuddered at the refreshing feeling that enveloped his entire body.

I opened my eyes and looked at the blood on the floor.

Do-yoon drank blood from internal wounds all the way through the blood vessels, and it soaked into the wooden floor.

It was a natural result after focusing on it for a week without even having time to clean up.

‘…Should I report it?’

The cleaning of the cradle is done periodically by ordering a service. The same goes for dorms.

Do-yun can rest even in a dirty place like a stable, but this is not Do-yun’s house, but a facility owned by Yo-ram.

You’d better report it quickly before it stains the floor.

Doyoon looked at his watch.

‘Because there is still a little bit left until the morning roll call…’

I closed my eyes again. After finishing the work, I decided to take a look at my physical condition in earnest.

Taking a deep breath, he moved the tightly packed mana in his danteon. The pure mana of the divine beast species (神獸種) circulated through his body.

from the fingers to the veins of the toes. The flow of mana was smooth, with no sense of being blocked anywhere in the body.

What Doyun desperately felt while piercing the bloodstream was that the body of this new servant was terribly fraudulent.

‘Still, I get a good price for beating the demon lord.’

First of all, the mana affinity was enormous.

In general, natural mana in the air cannot be used. It can only be used by transforming natural mana and depositing it on the body. What makes this possible is the mana practice method.

However, perhaps because Doyoon was a Shin Soojong, the mana accumulated in his body was extremely pure.

‘Including my previous life, this is the first time I’ve seen such clear mana.’

Pure mana with not a single impurity found. As pure and dense as it is, its power is highly anticipated.

Moreover, once the blood vessel was pierced, how clean and spacious it was, mana flowed quickly and smoothly like a slide.

The fact that the flow of mana has sped up was really encouraging news for Doyoon.

This will greatly increase the output of his main weapon, ‘Local Acceleration Control’.

And more than anything, what surprised Doyoon.

‘The regenerative ability is really… that of a monster?’

The Hecleos formula that Doyoon performed in the mana test was a degraded version.

Even for Enoch in his prime, it was impossible for him to withstand a Hecleusian recoil. It was not for nothing that Hecleos failed to make a single disciple out of Enoch’s 18th round.

He modified the Hekleos formula, reducing the destructive power and relieving the burden on the body.

Nonetheless, due to the use in the mana test, he was prepared to lie down for a week. And while I was lying down, I planned to pierce the bloodstream.

However, he walked on his own two feet from the first day, and recovered completely in two days.

The same is true for internal injuries caused by piercing blood vessels. Doyun’s body is very healthy now.

He didn’t take any special first aid measures, and that’s about it with his own resilience.

‘I’ll add a little bit of exaggeration, I’ll become a troll.’

Doyoon looked at the status window and notifications.

[The acquired attribute ‘Mana Impairment’ has disappeared.]

[The skill ‘Războinic’s flow mana technique’ has been created.]

[The stat ‘Magic Power’ has risen by 1 level.]

[Hecleus’s formula – Jeong Kwon Lv.1 Rate.S]

There were quite a few changes in the status window.

Acquired attribute [Mana Impairment] disappeared, and magic power increased. And, the second skill was registered.

‘Did you say that rate… is an indicator that clearly shows the value of a skill?’

The Hekleos food method is S. The Roosevolnik type mana practice method is D.

Although the evaluation of the technology he created was overly harsh, Doyoon nodded.

Of course, the Rouge Volnik Ryu Mana Yeongongbeop has too many side effects compared to its advantages.

Unlike the general practice method that collects mana in the heart, the loose ballistic type mana practice method accumulates mana in the Danjeon.

While the heart is the center of flow, the dantian is stagnant. Therefore, if mana is accumulated in the danteon, its purity is relatively high, and it is easier to control it according to the user’s will.

But there are reasons why others don’t.

Only Enoch could handle the Rouge Volnik Ryu Mana technique. It is thanks to the only talent that was given to Enoch, who was born as Dunjae of the lower class.

The Hecleus Meal Fist method also has a huge side effect of excessive recoil, but even taking that into account, it exerts tremendous power enough to receive an S rate.

However, while the benefits of mana training method, which builds up mana in the danteon, are insignificant, the side effects are absurdly large.

That’s why, he must have received the harsh evaluation of D-rate.

However, Doyoon did not care about the evaluation of the system.

No matter what the evaluation was, this mana practice was a technique that played a large part in Enoch’s armed forces, greatly increasing the output of his main weapon.

The technology that made it possible to subdue the demon lord and made Enoch what he is today. Whatever the evaluation, it does not change the fact that Enoch is very efficient.

Right now, Enoch was showing great interest in the skill system itself rather than rate.

‘Skill correction… that’s what it meant.’
