Episode 182:
A very large protective magic circle that can defend an area the size of a country.
The Arba Continent was in a more chaotic situation than ever due to the users’ war of conquest.
It was not unusual to strengthen security and pour a lot of money into military power, but Lee Ji-won knew that.
‘Are you worried about security?’
The one who rules the Arba royal palace is the worshiper White Mask.
These guys who are preparing the atrocity of human sacrifice are so worried about the general public that they deploy a protective shield? There has never been anything that smelled as bad as this.
I couldn’t rush to Arba right now, but I was able to check the screenshots taken and posted by users.
Lee Ji-won’s forehead was wrinkled.
‘This is not a normal magic circle structure.’
Although I don’t have deep knowledge of Fate’s magic circle, I was able to figure it out.
As if that wasn’t enough, the black patterns appearing throughout the screenshot looked extremely familiar to Lee Ji-won.
Jiwon Lee muttered quietly.
“The stigma of destruction.”
The conclusion has been reached.
This is not a magic circle.
It is a preparatory ritual for human sacrifice.
They were planning to sacrifice the entire continent’s largest city, Arba.
Lee Ji-won calmly wondered what to do in this situation.
But I couldn’t get rid of the uncomfortable feeling.
‘...It’s so shabby.’
Who is the worshiper of the white mask?
He is the one who destroyed dozens of ancient kingdoms in an instant and created a disconnected continent.
As if that wasn’t enough, he is a guy who lives for eternity and is always looking for an opportunity to resurrect other beings.
That guy prepares sacrifices like this?
This was no different from a local chat. It was at the level of advertising that we were preparing for human sacrifice.
Lee Ji-won changed his position and thought about it.
‘Not only do they know Siolas’ movements, but they also know that I purified the rune stone. To make such a big deal happen when secret preparations aren’t enough...’
Heh, Lee Ji-won snorted.
“Do you think you will fall into the trap as quietly as you think?”
This is a trap and preparation for human sacrifice!
A trap to eliminate all those who stand in the way of their base.
The justification was enough. Because they lied to both the users and the residents of Arba that this was a magic circle for a protective shield.
‘If you damage the magic circle clumsily, you will likely be caught for treason to the country.’
Jiwon Lee finished thinking.
Although there is a high possibility that it is a trap, the magic circle must be removed just in case.
After conquering the Giant’s Mountains, let’s return to the Arba Continent. I’ll go back and sprinkle some red pepper powder on you!
“At times like this, there’s something surprising.”
Lee Ji-won, with a confident smile, picked up the rye bread she had put down and put it in her mouth.
A failure that I completely forgot about because I was thinking too hard about it!
“It’s a waste to throw it away. What should I do with it?”
I miss the heavenly taste.
Oman-sang frowned at the bitter taste of jam.

Xernis was full of energy.
Abundant and fertile rice fields and fields are provided free of charge. As if that wasn’t enough, the house was free and the taxes were ridiculously low. The people had nothing to complain about.
“If I had known that the earth was a place like this, I would have come out a long time ago.”
“Oh, but it’s not a good place to live like Xernis, is it? By the way, you’re really amazing, Mr. X. “Generally speaking, it wouldn’t have been an easy decision.”
“X-Ji is definitely amazing.”
However, the first resident that Xjji brought in was Nadachi.
Malang was chatting with a member of the Explorer Guild. Now it was only a matter of time before Xernis became known to the world.
As residents flocked in and became active outside, the reputation level, which had remained at 0, was gradually increasing.
Guild member Danwoo smiled brightly.
“If that happens, you guys will get a little tired.”
“I feel that way too.”
“Human?”
Fortunately, it seemed that he was more interested in being a human being rather than the title Master.
Seeing the gaze looking down at him, X quickly lowered his head and shouted loudly.
“nice to see you. “It’s called X!”
“X, are you really human? “Hmm, I can’t see this, so I should be able to tell the difference.”
So small that you can’t even tell them apart from ants?
X thought this was a provocation again, but the Eight Titans were sincere. He squatted down and looked closely at X’s whole body.
“It definitely looks a little different.”
“Do I even look like someone?”
“No, it’s nothing. “More than that.”
The Paltitan’s single eye narrowed sharply.
“I wonder how humans came into our mountains. Since I have eyes to see, let’s go out for a moment and talk. Martin, you wait here.”
Once you can communicate, you’re halfway done. X explained step by step the reason why he entered the disconnected continent. The eight titans who were listening clicked their tongues.
“As expected, it was Launis’ invitation. “He’s too withdrawn.”
Fortunately, there was no hostile attitude. Of course, that wasn’t a friendly attitude either.
Paltitan drew a clear line.
“X, I have no intention of stopping you from operating in the Mountains of Giants. In the first place, the mountain range does not belong to anyone. I will explain about you to the other giants. but.”
thud!
The training room door closed with a thunderous sound.
“Our training ground is not a place where you can enter with half-hearted determination. “I don’t know for what purpose you came to the training center, but I feel sorry.”
Paltitan immediately took a step back.
I immediately felt like I wanted to talk about X with my fellow giants.
X, who had been silent, quickly opened his mouth.
“What if it’s not a half-hearted determination?”
He continued speaking to the Paltitan who had stopped.
“I came here to see the end of the basics.”
“...I think you know something.”
“I knew it right away when I saw the Battle of Martinan. “Where I come from, it’s not easy to find people who have reached that level.”
The end of the basics!
Although he was an eight-titan who had been training at the training center for most of his life, it felt like this was his first time meeting someone who had the same goal as him.
If that’s not enough, humans. Thanks to this, the Eight Titans became interested in X.
“But can you really do it? There isn’t anything suitable for you at the training center. “The scarecrows, sparring dolls, and even the weapons are all tailored to our giants.”
If that was the case, it wasn’t a problem.
X answered confidently.
“Let’s show it with actions instead of words!”
X, who re-entered the training center, immediately succeeded in proving his abilities.
Noisy!
The giants were astonished when they saw the wooden sword swinging in the air. Paltitan narrowed his single eye.
“What on earth happened to your body...?”
That kind of strength radiates from such a small body! No matter how many times I looked at it and washed my eyes, I couldn’t understand it.
He can freely handle a wooden sword several times larger than himself with one hand. That alone is surprising, but X didn’t stop there.
‘Well, it might be a little uncomfortable.’
It was so big that there was no angle from which to hit the scarecrow. To hit a target, you had to hit the ground like you did when you hit Martin. Of course, the more difficult your body is, the more effective it is.
widely!
I lightly kicked the ground and swung the wooden sword.
It felt like swinging a large log rather than a sword, but the basic skills I had steadily accumulated over the years were not in vain.
I followed the vivid sensation at my fingertips and swung it accurately.
Then, for the first time in a long time, a change came.
Swing Precisely (89.6%): Learn how to attack your enemy with concentration. Increases the hit rate of swings by 30 percent.
From 89.5 percent to 89.6 percent.
Mastery increased by 0.1% at once!
The moment when your guess becomes certain.
X cried out in joy.
‘Let’s master the basics!!’
