Chapter 60 - Item Purification (2)

What the heck. Am I seeing things?

No. Even if you open and close the stat window repeatedly.

My mana stat did not change when standing in front of the contaminated item.

"One hundred...fifty?"

What was the last mana stat revealed by the current top 100 player?

Was it 98?

But I was a whopping 52 points ahead of him.

Considering that stats get harder and harder to raise the higher they go, these are unprecedented stat numbers!

but.

Swish.

I just moved my hand slightly away from the jewel.

[Moved away from contaminated item.]

[Stat adjustments are removed.]

After all, it is not a power that is just given.

A second function of the workshop that only reacts to contaminated items.

In this case, it seemed impossible to carry this jewel by one's side and perform various activities that utilized massive amounts of mana.

'I wanted to pour my mana stat into enchantment skills.'

Perhaps the stats were adjusted to this level because the workshop was necessary.

What should I do?

"Is this how it should be done?"

I am an expert in mana thanks to the stat awakening pills.

Now is not the time when you can only use 1.

I had the knowledge to handle the stats to the point where even the 150th place winner of the 100th level could call me older brother.

'Think of it as wrapping your entire body in mana.... Contaminated items are wrapped in mana.'

Use your knowledge and rely on your insights.

That gave me the answer.

A vast amount of mana that enveloped my body in blue.

Anyone who sees it would think it's wearing a blue protective suit.

It was that thick and dense.

'Isolate the magic with this.'

That's it for now.

The jewel that slowly emits purple energy, the Thousand-Li Demon Myeol-an.

Now it was a purple gem wrapped in mana.

'Can you purify it for me to use?'

The workshop gave me the strength to fight against magic.

Now it's up to me to take care of the rest.

I look around at the swaying jewels.

As long as I was wearing the Mana suit, this wouldn't have done anything to me.

'The feeling in my hands has become dull.'

Even if contact is made and a method is found, it is difficult to process in this way.

We need to utilize mana more deeply.

'A method to transmit the sensation to your hand as it is while surrounding it with mana.'

Compresses mana.

The method and knowledge are in my head. If you utilize this.

That's right.

It sounds like someone pressing a wad of paper.

The bulky mana protective suit was compressed.

Soon it took the form of a blue latex glove.

'You can feel the texture in your hand.'

At this level, the processing should be no problem.

So, how do you purify magic?

Let's observe quietly.

I won't miss even the smallest thing.

I put the loupe on my right eye to increase the magnification.

My observation continued quietly for several dozen minutes.

'Is this it?'

Such efforts were not in vain.

Insight added to observation.

That's what I figured out.

'If mana that has accumulated and rotted is a curse, then magic is a type of mana that has already been polluted.'

If you pour mana into something that's already contaminated, won't it get diluted?

It was a thought that occurred to me briefly, but I immediately discarded it.

'It's already a different kind from Mana.'

It's water and oil.

It was clear that they wouldn't mix.

Then wouldn't it be enough to find a substance that will make it mix?

A substance that mixes water and oil.

'Surfactant.'

Soap is also a surfactant.

Isn't there something like that in Mana?

I immediately searched the community.

Keywords: mana, dilution, attribute power, mix.

"oh!"

Found it.

It's not diluted magic.

I found an example of mana being mixed with attribute power.

-Today, we will learn about the mana dilution phenomenon. First, prepare the wood attribute and water attribute power. Then, if you mix the two attribute powers and mana appropriately.... Ta-da! Can you see that your mana concentration has decreased? The mana has been diluted in the attribute power!

An article with added video.

But the number of views is hitting rock bottom.

The few comments that were left were mostly responses like, 'So, does this help with gate conquest?'

'This is literally a freak experiment video.'

But this video was the answer for me.

Mr. Jjasuri, thank you.

I'll remember your name.

'What you need is wood attribute, water attribute, and magic.'

It's a mix of three types of mana.

It's okay if it's not my mana.

Sufficient knowledge gave me confidence.

'Let's inject slowly and find the ratio.'

The magic stones containing each attribute were placed next to the Thousand-Li Demonic Claw.

And it leads to a mana stat of 150.

The three manas began to swirl according to my will.

Whioooo!

Magi reacts violently as if she doesn't want to mix.

Dozens of times, it bounced and burst as if shaking off the entangled attributes.

But I didn't give up.

The mana that had not dried and the concentration that had been trained until now helped with this.

I wrestled with Magi like that for about ten hours.

'Found it!'

Finally found it.

The perfect golden ratio where two attributes mix together to swallow magic!

Not even a 0.01% error was allowed.

It seemed like they had to retry thousands of times to find that delicate ratio.

'But you did it anyway.'

The magic begins to fade.

A situation where it starts to take on the same color as mana.

Hesitation was a luxury.

Now, even though it's not the same, it's similar to Mana.

'I pour my mana here!'

It's not just pouring it out.

Insight has been known since early times.

The magic contained in the jewel must flow in the right direction to melt perfectly.

So I did the construction work in parallel.

'The magic flowing on the surface is guided to the upper surface of the jewel through the setting.'

It is a technique that originally polished the surface to maximize the reflection and refraction of light, making it shine more.

I used this in Magi India.

I think it was called Manryuguijong.

Who would have thought that the crafting technique would be used to purify magic?

'I have to use cabochon cutting to bring out all the magic inside.'

A technique for adding beauty to an opaque gem by trimming the top surface.

The technique I used was reverse cabochon.

Only the ends are slightly concave.

Because of this, a hole was created in the Cheonri Marmyeol.

The diluted magic that flows out through the passivation is heading upward along the surface.

It began to collect into the hole formed at the top of the jewel.

A hole where the magic from inside and the magic that has risen to the surface are mixed.

The finishing touches were put into it.

'Now, if we add engraving to this....'

A technique for engraving patterns or letters.

It is a engraving that is created by pushing in mana.

It was simple and clear.

It wasn't a complicated character or pattern.

A single stroke.

Draw a line from the center of the hole along the jewel wall towards the ceiling.

That was the end of it.

Kwaaaaah!

Diluted magic that was filled with jewels.

It soared upwards, meeting the imprint drawn with 150 mana.

It appears that the dam's floodgates have been opened, just before it overflowed.

It rose so high in an instant that it filled the ceiling of the workshop with purple smoke.

That too was soon over.

All that remains is the amethyst-like Thousand-Li-Ma-Myeol-An that scatters light in all directions.

And then a notification window appeared before my eyes.

[You have successfully purified your first contaminated item!]

[Perfect success! The contaminated item is transformed!]

[Successful skipping the step! The enchantment's ability 3 is not unlocked.]

[Ability 4, the opening of the Purification Seal is suspended.]

[Compensation settlement accordingly... ... .]

[Settlement completed!]

[Compensation will be paid.]

It's a series of notifications.

In short, does this mean that you did something that you couldn't do in your current state without any skill ability?

And that's before even unlocking all of those abilities.

A smile came to my face.

Ha, that guy.

'Where did the talent that almost made him the youngest master disappear?'

So, it is difficult to open up the ability, and an apology was given as compensation.

I stared at the reward that fell before my eyes.

"frame?"

It's a casting mold.

It was a tool that could continuously stamp out a specific shape by pouring molten metal inside.
