7 – Finding the 2-Gyen

Now I had to find a way to unlock it.

In “Esteria Electric”, As soon as Mion entered this room, the seal was shattered in response to her holy sword.

But I didn’t have a holy sword.

Instead, I have basic knowledge about the sealed camp in my head.

In fact, it was correct to assume that most people living on this continent knew about the seals.

The fairy tale in which a town nerd became a monster by carelessly touching the seal is a story that even a child from the Oxburg Empire knows.

Since the past, priests have been telling us not to touch the sealed jar and to contact the nearby church.

Because seals are sensitive.

Because the seals were designed to block something inside, they were too weak against external shocks.

Even if part of the seal was erased, there was a risk that the spell itself would collapse.

Especially, in the case of sealed camps that restrain powerful beings such as flames, they are inevitably more vulnerable to external shocks.

That’s why I buried it and hid it in a hole like this.

So, releasing the seal was simple.

If you cut off one of the two chains that are entangled with the giant rune on the floor, Jin will be freed right away.

Of course, just wiping it off with your feet doesn’t make it disappear, you have to put mana in it.

I erased a corner of the rune on the floor using my remaining magical power.

Then the response came right away.

The magic circle drawn in blood burned and disappeared from the erased part, and the chains surrounding the crystals were broken one by one.

Giyeon!

Isn’t this the privilege of being reincarnated and the highlight of a mass market!

The excitement did not stop when the enormous power to change the world was right in front of us.

I’m going to wish Jin for strength.

I make the power mine during the time I earned through the entrance exam, return home, steal property from the hectic family castle in the last meeting, and then bounce to the southeast.

What do you know about being a devil or a hero?

Take care of that.

“hahahahaha! You bastards of this world, tell me!”

Her whole body trembled at the thought of gaining overwhelming power.

No, even if the world had a vibrator inserted into her anus, she went wild in all directions.

I lowered myself to the floor at the shaking.

[…] … Go …… Ah]

In the midst of that, a voice rang in my head.

Perhaps the Jinn of Flame?

Gaah?

What are you talking about?

[…] … Go …… Cheongah]

With one more echoing incomprehensible words behind, the last remaining chain broke.

At the same time, a huge crack broke in the ice crystal surrounding the furnace.

[Run away, you idiot!]

From noble mtl dot com

In an instant, the crystal broke.

The inside of the sealed room was instantly sucked into boiling flames.

It was hot as if the sun had descended.

My body was on fire.

“Ahhhhh!”

I lost consciousness as I watched my arms burn like charcoal.

*

“Aaghh! What the f*ck!”

As the loss of consciousness continued, I stood up as if in a seizure and examined my arm first.

It smelled a bit burnt, but the arm was still intact.

The clothes must have been burned, but she was naked, but there were no scratches.

Even the wounds from the frost golem disappeared without a trace.

“What the heck… What happened?”

When I looked around, the area was scorched as if it had been bombed.

As if the ground had collapsed, there were piles of stones everywhere.

Did it fail?

I don’t think that’s the case because the crystal is in pieces.

But why is it so different from the story in the novel?

Is it the difference between purifying the seal with the holy sword and forcibly breaking it?

[Looks awake now, idiot.]

A small fireball flew in front of my face as I was grasping the situation.

[I yelled at him to run away, but he didn’t even listen. Look at him. Do you know how much I struggled to heal you? Because I am this jin of flame, I think I barely saved you.]

Is this mouse-sized fireball a real flame gin?

Is it really one of the three gods and on the same level as the Demon King?

What, did I get scammed?

In the scene where you met Maon in the novel, you must have portrayed it in a grand manner, right?

[What? What’s your reaction Are you surprised that I am Jin of Flame? Yes it’s amazing You already know, but if you’re talking about me…… ]

“I already know who you are. But you’re much smaller than I thought…”

[Is there anything you can’t say about a kid? Who is this for!]

A fireball hit me in the chest.

Strangely, there was no pain or hot feeling.

[Look at your chest.]

“Huh? What is this?”

Red runes rose from the chest where the fireball hit the body.

I couldn’t read it because it was dead.

[Hwajeong(fire 精). It’s the source of my strength. It wasn’t my intention, but I was sucked into your body while reviving you. Thanks to that, I became this shape.]

“What?”

I was caught up in the chaos that tangled my head for a while.

Now, let’s clear things up.

I broke the seal.

Then Jin came out, and at that moment I was swept away by the fire.

Jin tried to revive me by giving me warmth, and then ‘Hwajeong’ was absorbed into my body.

Jin, who was deprived of ‘Hwajeong’, lost his power, so he is a giyeon and nabal and can’t do anything to me.

In other words, f*cked up.

“……Wow, f*ck.”

Right now, 4 years from now, I have a reservation for a blood relationship with Abby, the sword master, but I didn’t get a chance here?

Should I just commit suicide now?

[Hey kid, I want to curse. Did you know what kind of seal it was and opened it so ignorantly in the first place? No, aside from opening the seal, what the hell happened to my body so you took away my anger? This is nonsense!]

Yes, my talent is so fraudulent.

Because he was an essential talent for progressing the story of 「Esteria Electric」.

That’s why the northern part notices, the demon king courts, the world panics, and the swordsman Randeroth’s head is cut in his twenties.

But I’m going to search anyway. Is that important?

Hearing the constant chatter of the f*cking fireballs made me feel annoyed.

“Ah, then I’ll take it back, whether it’s Hwajeong or Nabal.”

[If I could, I did it a long time ago! But no matter what I do, they won’t listen. Like someone’s prank. It’s not a power that a mere human can have, so how did you absorb it?]

It was the first time Jin had such a case, so he said it quickly as if he was quite embarrassed.

At this point, I wondered what his anger was.

I asked, staring at the fireball.

“What the hell is Hwajeong?”

[A part of my soul, yet an essence. Source of my strength. It is a symbol of circulation and extinction and the source of all mana in the world.]

“…… Huh?”

The scale is too huge for the sake of talking calmly.

I had a hunch that it was unusual.

If there is no lie in Jin’s words, this was the best chance compared to elixirs or martial arts secret books!

[Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Then, try using the mana of Danjeon.]

At Jin’s words, I used a self-defense technique.

Dantian’s mana escaped and covered his body.

In that case, the Danjeon had to be empty.

But somewhere, the mana kept rising.

What is this?

It was not natural mana.

It was hotter and sticky than that.

I took that mana and used it for self-defense.

Then my body burned as if it were on fire.

It felt like the Danjeon was about to break.

[Stop!]

At Jin’s words, I stopped my self-defense.

The fire on his body went out in an instant.

“……Huh……Huh, strange mana kept rising. Is this Hwajung?”

[Don’t call that kind of thing Hwajeong. Because you didn’t even dip your toe into the power of anger.]

Perhaps Jin was testing me to see if I could really handle fire.

It was a brusque shot, but I was quite surprised when I saw myself actually handling it.

[Hwajeong is the power of circulation and extinction. If you wield the true power of fire, you can turn even your opponent’s soul to ashes. Of course, I don’t think you, as a human being, will go to that level. However, the fire will burn endlessly and provide you with infinite magical power. If you use it excessively, you may burn to death.]

“Is this more fraudulent than I thought?”

[What do you think the essence of a god is? And you’ll have perfect resistance to fire. No heat can hurt you Rather, it will restore it.]

This is a raffle!

There is no opportunity like this in the world!

In this world, knights have stronger instant firepower than wizards, but they couldn’t use anything other than the short burst of mana they had accumulated in advance.

So, unlike the magician who draws nature’s mana as it is and turns the circle to project it, he had to take a break to replenish his mana.

But this shortcoming could be perfectly compensated for by Hwajeong!

If you can handle it properly, the sword master is not a problem!

[Haa, thank you for releasing the seal. Things got messed up I need to get my body back, but I can’t do anything as long as you hold your anger. I can’t leave Hwajeong with you and go somewhere else…….]

Leaving behind me, who was laughing at me unable to control my joy, Jin seemed to be deeply troubled by her.

“Getting your body back? What do you mean?”

[Right now, I’m not in a perfect state. The demon king Moloch tore off my body and soul to seal me away. I can use my strength only when I get my body back.]

That’s why it flew through the sky as a fireball.

This wasn’t even written in the setting book.

“Do you know where the body is?”

[I don’t know. But if you’re nearby, you can feel it. I hope you can help.]

In 『The Legend of Esteria』, Jin did not reappear after being released from her seal.

I wondered why the powerful god disappeared after only serving as a helper, but she must have searched the entire continent to find her body.

I brushed my chin and fell into thought.

A journey to find Jin’s body, starting with Hwajeong.

This was something that wasn’t even in the setting book.

There are too many variables.

Let’s clear things up for a moment.

There is no doubt that Hwajeong is an amazing performance.

But it doesn’t instantly strengthen me.

I don’t have enough strength right now to run away from the north and become self-reliant.

Therefore, I have no choice but to lean into the shadow of De Yeevitz for a while.

On the other hand, that also means that I, the eldest son of the family, cannot leave the North at will.

In the next four years, I will be sentenced to exile by Kaniel de Yewitz in the novel.

Until then, as the eldest son of the De Yewitz family, it is necessary to absorb the power of the family.

During that time, I have to make the opportunity of Hwajeong my own as much as possible to lay the foundation for self-reliance.

The problem is that in order to handle the fire, you need a teacher, Jin, who will teach you how to use it.

Such Jin asks to go on a journey to find his body.

But I can’t leave the north right now due to the aforementioned circumstances.

If you say no here, you will be at odds with Jin.

If I refuse Jin’s offer, I won’t be able to learn how to deal with anger from Jin.

Jin’s body must be recovered.

But before that, we need some time.

After thinking about it, I opened my mouth.

“Okay, but there are two conditions.”

[You’re cheeky. Remember I can kill you and take away your anger if I set my mind to it. Do you dare to put conditions on me as a mortal?]

“Didn’t I just say that I couldn’t do anything because I was taken away?”

[eee!]

Apparently caught off guard, Jin literally went mad.

It seems like I’ve been threatening myself as a kid, but that kind of thing doesn’t work at all.

From noble mtl dot com

“I’m still young, so I can’t travel on my own. I need a grace period of at least four years.”

Four years is long for humans, but short for immortals.

Jin pondered for a long time before answering with a reluctant sigh.

[Yes. Since you released the seal, you have the right to demand that much. It’s only 4 years. After 4 years, I have to go find my body. What are the other conditions?]

“I want you to teach me how to deal with anger until you get your body back.”

Jin’s teaching is essential to properly handle Hwajung.

If you have enough time, you can enlighten yourself while shoveling alone, but the thing I lack the most is time.

[That’s not difficult. You just have to keep these two conditions, right?]

“Yes, if you protect two things, I will do my best to find your body. And once you get your body back, I will not hesitate to cooperate in any way so that you can bring the peace back. How is it?”

[Haa, how did this flame jinn get dragged around by such a kid……. Keep your promise.]

“Don’t worry. It’s going to be a long journey, so let’s get along well. Jin of the Flame.”

With Jin’s deep sigh, the contract was concluded.

It went in a different direction than I expected, but I still gained a lot more.

Jin whirled over my head, lamenting his miserable situation.

Looking at it, I settled my heart for joy.
