Chapter 55

"Learn!"

This time, Shien reacted immediately and learned the two skills that he had just obtained.

Not only that, but Shien also leveled up [Mana Manipulation] to its maximum level.

This skill that he had only learned for less than a second had transformed into a godly skill of the highest level in Shien's hands.

At this moment, Sean felt that the mana in his body seemed to be perfectly controlled by him, as if he was waving his arms.

With a thought, Sean's magic power immediately gathered from his body to his hand at a very fast speed, and then poured into the broadsword that he held tightly in his hand.

"Hum!"

A tremor sounded.

The broadsword in Shien's hand began to emit light.

It was the radiance of mana.

Through human manipulation, the magic power that was transformed into power could be seen by the naked eye like this.

Seeing this scene, Tierre was a little surprised.

"He actually completed the stage of releasing and manipulating mana so quickly?"

Because Tierre had experienced the same stage, she knew that it wasn't easy to achieve.

"Logically speaking, it's difficult for most people to even sense mana directly. Under such circumstances, even if one can sense the mana in one's body, it's naturally extremely difficult to manipulate it, let alone release it outside of one's body."

Just like how the spring water would evaporate sooner or later and disperse into the atmosphere, the mana in one's body could only flow within one's body. Once released, it would usually disperse. One must undergo rigorous training in order to maintain the form of mana and manipulate it.

Back then, Tierre had been stuck at this stage for an entire month before she managed to overcome it.

It was said that if one had the [Mana Manipulation] skill, it would be very easy to overcome this stage.

But even so, wasn't Shien's success a little too fast?

"As expected of …"

Tierre muttered to herself.

But soon, Tierre's expression turned serious again.

"That's it. Maintain the control of mana and let it circulate in the weapon. Don't ever relax your control, or it will disperse immediately."

Tierre only gave him a few hints.

"Then, while in this state, consciously guide the circulating mana to the blade or the tip of the sword. Let the mana continuously gather there."

"According to this method, the mana's quality and concentration will increase continuously. In the end, it will be like how the mana in the atmosphere and the earth will condense into a spring and undergo a qualitative change."

"This way, the [Magic Sword] that can cut through anything will be formed."

Upon hearing that, Sean immediately concentrated and poured the mana in his body into the broadsword in his hand, strengthening the mana that was gathered in the broadsword.

The magic light on the broadsword became more and more dazzling and resplendent.

At that moment, Sean undoubtedly used all his strength. All his mana was poured into his weapon. Even the mana that was quickly replenished by the [Mana Recovery] skill was used up generously and poured into the broadsword in his hand.

Shien's mana growth rate was already the highest among all the mages, and he would never lose to any other mage in terms of mana growth. Now that his mana was amplified by the max-level [Mana Conducting] skill, it became abnormally huge and extraordinary.

In the end, not only did Shien pour all his mana into the broadsword, but he also continued to pour the mana that was quickly replenished into it.

What would happen in the end if he did that?

It was simple.

Shien didn't even have the time to gather his mana at the blade or the tip. The huge amount of mana in the broadsword had already gone berserk, and in the end, it directly transformed into a qualitative change.

"Ugh …!"

Shien felt like the broadsword in his hand had suddenly become ridiculously huge, and he couldn't help but raise it high.

"Hum!!!"

Accompanied by a vibrating sound that was countless times louder and stronger than before, Shien raised the broadsword high, and a red light burst out from it, shooting into the sky and instantly turning into a dazzling and huge mana blade.

"What?!"

Tierre was shocked.

At the same time, a message appeared in Shien's mind.

[Obtained skill — [Magic Sword]. Learn?] [Obtained skill — [Magic Sword]. Learn?]

Finally, Shien successfully obtained this ultimate skill for close combat.

However, Shien felt that the broadsword in his hand had become extremely heavy. It was as if he wasn't holding a sword, but a mountain of swords, pressing down on him so much that he almost couldn't breathe.

Moreover, the mana that gathered on the sword showed signs of dissipating, becoming extremely unstable.

No, it wasn't dissipating, it was exploding.

"I'm going to explode!" Such a thought flashed through Shien's mind. Without a second thought, Shien learned the newly acquired [Magic Sword] skill and leveled it up to its maximum level.

This method was both correct and incorrect.

It was correct because Shien had successfully used the maxed out [Magic Sword] skill to stabilize the astonishing amount of mana gathered on the broadsword.

On the other hand, because the skill's level was instantly maxed out, the power of Shien's [Magic Sword] naturally increased by a large margin.

"Bang!"

The mana storm exploded, and the mana blade on Shien's broadsword expanded in the blink of an eye.

The Magic Power Blade, which was already a hundred meters long, soared into the sky.

Shien waved his hand almost instinctively.

"No!"

A familiar, cold voice entered Shien's ears. The voice had a rare sense of panic and anxiety.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The mana blade that soared into the sky fell down like a heavenly pillar, bringing with it a dazzling light and a mana storm.

"Boom —!"

On this day, in the wilderness on the outskirts of Lamegion, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded.

Along with the roar, the ground began to shake, giving off a feeling that the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.

Countless demonic creatures were frightened away by this phenomenon, forming all kinds of large and small beast tides.

The caravans and adventurers that were coming and going on the nearby streets were also frightened and panicked.

Even the citizens of Lamegion felt a tremor under their feet. There was also a thunderous roar in the sky, causing many to jump in fright. Many children even started crying.

"What's wrong?!"

"For such a loud and clear sound to suddenly appear, it's really scary!"

"Is it thunder? Is it thunder? "

"No, it seems to be a little different from thunder."

"And the ground seemed to shake just now."

"You felt it too?"

"What's going on?"

In the Lamydion there was a general murmur of fear and trepidation.

Not long after, the scouts of the Adventurers Guild and the knights of the town were sent out to investigate.

No one knew that all of this was caused by a novice adventurer who was practicing his skills.
