=====
[The item 'Millennium Tree Fruit' has been absorbed.]
―Rarity ★★★★
―Has the effect of purifying magic or internal energy, greatly increasing usage efficiency.
=====
Greatly increasing usage efficiency, huh.
I'll only know the exact details after eating all the fruit and properly using magic or internal energy, but it's not a bad effect.
Liber, who had already swallowed one fruit whole, said.
"Huh? Something's strange."
"What is?"
"Well... I feel the magic inside me is a bit more vivid, I guess?"
Davian's eyes scanned Liber sharply.
'Is the effect showing already?'
It seems the item's effect is applied the moment you finish eating the fruit.
Upon hearing Liber's words, Latia started eating the fruit even more enthusiastically.
"It's amazing. The fruit is big, but it doesn't make me feel full."
"Yeah. That's why I finished one so quickly too."
Davian also started eating the fruit again.
The moment he took the last bite.
Ding.
=====
[The hidden trait of the item 'Millennium Tree Fruit' has been unlocked.]
=====
Hidden trait?
=====
―The hidden trait of the Millennium Tree Fruit is activated only for those who do not store magic in their heart or gather internal energy in their dantian.
=====
Davian tilted his head.
People who don't store magic in their heart or gather internal energy in their dantian?
Who would be like th—...
Here I am.
'It's me.'
From the start, I only gathered and distributed mana points through the system and quests.
Unlike others, I've never absorbed natural mana through cultivation to accumulate it in my heart or gather it in my dantian.
I did feel the energy emanating from my heart when using magic, and from my dantian when using internal energy.
But maybe that was just a feeling.
=====
―Hidden Trait: The user's magic and internal energy are merged into one.
―Side Effect: Accompanied by extreme pain. If the external force cannot withstand the size of the magic and internal energy, the body may explode.
=====
What?
The side effect is that the body might explode?
You're telling me this now...?
Thwack.
Instantly.
I felt like lightning struck my heart.
A massive vibration, as if an earthquake had occurred, arose from inside my lower abdomen.
I experienced tremendous pain when I drank the improved regeneration potion of Medium Frill, but.
The pain now is on a different level.
I want to open my mouth and scream right away, but not even a sound comes out.
"Davian!"
"Davian! What's wrong? What's..."
Latia's voice gradually faded.
Before I knew it, my vision was also extinguished.
All that remained in the darkness was terrible pain.
Quarr, Thwack.
Lightning continued to strike in my heart.
Dddddd.
An earthquake with its epicenter in my dantian engulfed my whole body.
Eventually.
Bang!
My body really exploded.
Bang!
It wasn't just once.
I vividly felt the sensation of bones shattering and muscles tearing.
But because the two previous types of pain were so great, this level wasn't even felt as pain.
I should have passed out by now.
But strangely, I don't pass out.
'Was my mental strength this strong?'
I passed out from the pain every time I took the potions that Medium-sensei gave me.
Bang!
Somewhere in my body exploded again.
Like that, for a long time.
How much time passed?
A familiar notification sound rang in my head.
Ding.
Even though I can't open my eyes, I can see the notification window.
=====
[Mana Points: 441K]
―Internal Energy: 4,410K
―External Force: 442K
=====
The magic entry has disappeared from the point breakdown.
Magic and internal energy are merged into one, huh...
Surely I won't be unable to use magic now.
Swish.
I slowly opened my eyes.
"Davian! Are you okay? Davian!"
I gradually felt Latia's hand shaking Davian's body.
Slurp, Slurrrp.
My body is still regenerating here and there.
Ah... I'm so tired.
Let's rest for a bit first.
Whoosh.
Davian created a small flame with his right hand.
He let out a sigh of relief without realizing it.
"That's a relief."
Latia asked.
"What is? Davian?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
"You're really okay now, right?"
Body regeneration is all finished.
He nodded his head lightly.
"This fruit's side effect is no joke."
"But why is it only happening to you, Davian?"
It's because the magic and internal energy are merging, but there's no need to explain all this to his friends.
"I don't know either."
Liber chimed in.
"Latia, if you or I had gotten that side effect like Davian, we would have died on the spot."
"True."
Crack, Crack.
He lightly cracked his neck and got up from his seat.
"Let's go, now."
"Oh, okay. Davian."
Liber gathered the remaining fruits.
"Can we take this to our family?"
"Yeah. Of course."
Latia also nodded.
It's only natural since Liber found the information and Liber asked to come.
"Thanks, Davian. Latia."
Davian smirked and looked at Liber.
'Thanks? I'm the one who's more thankful.'
Before eating the Millennium Tree fruit, Davian's magic was 3,146K, and his internal energy was 1,264K.
The standard for 10-star magic is 4,096K.
The same goes for internal energy.
Therefore, when magic and internal energy were separate, he couldn't exceed the 10-star standard.
His magic was at the 9-star intermediate level, and his internal energy was only at the 8-star early stage.
But.
Now that magic and internal energy have merged.
He finally crossed the wall of 10 stars.
Being able to use 10-star magic by merging 1,264K of internal energy into magic is a huge gain, but.
If you had to compare, merging 3,146K of magic into internal energy is an even bigger gain.
Assuming all of his power is poured into internal energy, he has instantly surpassed 10 stars from the level of an 8-star early stage swordsman.
Moreover, since magic and internal energy have merged, there is no need to force magic into an ice sword to use a mana sword.
He hasn't used it yet, but he could tell enough from the energy flowing through his body.
The mana sword will also be able to be used more freely.
The power will be much greater, as the two energies have merged.
"Huh?"
Liber shouted.
Davian, who was lost in his own thoughts, turned his head and looked at Liber, who was following behind.
The flustered Liber examined the remaining fruits in a daze.
"Why is it like this?"
At the same time as exiting the huge space where the Millennium Tree was located, the fruits began to shrink rapidly.
The flustered Liber quickly went back into the Millennium Tree's space, but.
The fruits that had already begun to shrink did not recover.
"Oh no..."
The fruits that continued to shrink became like dried fruit and then puffed into powder and scattered away.
"I guess you can't take it out."
"I guess not... It's a shame. I really wanted to take it to my family."
"It can't be helped. Tell your father that you found the Millennium Tree and that you ate the fruit, and prove it with your skills. That's enough."
"With my skills?"
"Didn't you say you feel the magic inside you more vividly?"
"Oh? Ah! Yeah."
Latia also nodded.
"Me too. It feels different than before. It's much clearer and more comfortable to feel the magic."
Davian, who got the hidden trait, benefited the most.
But Latia and Liber also clearly saw the effects of the Millennium Tree fruit in some way.
Liber nodded.
"What can we do if we can't take it out? It can't be helped. Let's go back."
The three friends, who had left the Millennium Tree's space shrouded in mysterious energy, stood close together.
"Then I'll tear the scroll."
"Yeah."
"Let's go back."
Davian used the weekend to rent the entire outdoor 4-element magic practice field.
Head of the Magic Department, Sirims Andrian, readily granted the use of the outdoor practice field at Davian's words that he wanted to practice the dragon's flame.
With the reminder not to break it too much.
"Shall we properly check the effect of the Millennium Tree fruit?"
Davian, who had warmed up appropriately, created a flame.
Whoosh!
He threw the created flame at a suitable distance and continued to pour magic into it.
Whirrrrr.
The flame wasn't that surprising to Davian, who had often used the skill Wave of Fire, but.
It was a flame that anyone on the Pax continent would be surprised to see.
A flame that has crossed the wall of 10 stars.
He also created a fire without using any skills.
If he uses the Wave of Fire skill here, he will be able to create an even stronger flame, but what he was trying to test today wasn't the limit of fire element magic.
Tap.
Davian powerfully kicked off the ground and jumped up.
At the same time as using 10-star magic, he is checking how far he can operate internal energy.
Zoom.
His body soared up into the sky without knowing how high it was.
He could see the flame on the ground getting weaker.
But it's not because he's using internal energy together.
It's because he moved away from the flame too quickly.
'Good.'
It was as expected.
As magic and internal energy merge, not only can he freely use both, but there is no difficulty in using both powers at the same time.
Thud.
After landing lightly on the ground, he created an ice sword this time.
Swish!
He lightly scattered the sword and transferred the energy of the fused magic and internal energy to the blade.
Kwa-kwa-kwa!
A tremendous shockwave struck the front.
The ground was all overturned, and everything that came into contact with the shockwave was turned to powder, whether it was large trees or rocks.
"Hoo."
It's definitely different than before.
This time, he danced with the sword.
Quickly, sometimes slowly.
Strongly, sometimes softly.
As magic and internal energy merged, the movement of the sword also completely changed.
Speed increases and strength is added is a given, and the sword path has also become more sophisticated.
In short, he has acquired the movements of a 10-star swordsman.
A realm that no swordsman on the Pax continent has surpassed.
"Is this what happens when you eat a pumpkin-sized apple?"
The fruit of the World Tree.
He really ate something amazing.
An event that didn't even appear until the last playthrough.
'Is it natural? Liber was dead back then.'
Liber was not by Davian's side in all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd playthroughs.
Come to think of it, thanks to Liber, he was able to obtain the Stone of Enlightenment and earn double the points.
"He was a much bigger helper than I thought... Liber Specula."
Zoom, Zoom.
Thinking that he should treat Liber a little better in the future, he swung the ice sword several more times.
The rate of development was much greater in swordsmanship than in magic.
It was natural.
It's as if his internal energy suddenly jumped almost 4 times.
"I wonder what it would have been like if we had fought in this state."
Emperor Kaiser Rapax.
He said that he had never trained or even shed blood from an injury for the first time in his life.
'If I were in this state now...'
He wouldn't have been defeated so miserably.
Nevertheless, he couldn't rashly be confident of victory because he thought that the Emperor might not have been at full strength during the confrontation.
Didn't the Emperor leave abruptly after treating the confrontation with Davian as nothing more than a game?
'Where did such a monster come from?'
Was the final boss of the freaking game 'Elton Academy' the Emperor, not the Demon King?
No.
It was said that the Demon King was only chased into the Demon Realm by seven dragons gathering together.
The Emperor was strong, but at the same time, it didn't feel like he could face seven dragons.
Then is the Demon King the final boss after all?
Or else.
Is another new being the final boss?
I can't know because I've never been to the last chapter.
There is only one thing Davian knows.
'I have to get stronger.'
Marino Empire.
Deep underground in the Imperial Palace.
Head of Intelligence Heinz Grayton couldn't bear his curiosity.
So, he dared to take the adventure of asking the Emperor a question.
"Is there any reason why you are suddenly trying to take the Sword of Destruction? There is no one in this world who can oppose His Majesty the Emperor. Even if it is the Demon King who will cross over to the human world."
Emperor Kaiser Rapax, who was descending the stairs earlier, laughed loudly.
"I have to get stronger."
"More? Even the current His Majesty the Emperor is already..."
"No, it's not enough. Davian, that guy, is going to get stronger and show up soon. If I stay like this, I'll be caught up. Yes. I will be caught up."
It was an Emperor who answered unexpectedly kindly.
'He's been excited ever since he met Davian. He still seems to be in a good mood.'
After finishing the conversation, the Emperor started humming again and started going down the underground stairs.
