《Reincarnation Just Before The 10th Circle》 CH 1 Wizards and magic. It refers to the mana-created miracles and those who perform them in the world. Wizard, Sage, Druid, Warlock, and so on¡­ There are various names available depending on the type and level of magic learned. They all, however, share the same goal. It is to reach the Demi-god realm, also known as the 9th circle in the Demi-god stage. The demi-god stage is the highest realm that a human being can attain. Every few hundred years, one genius among geniuses reaches the 8th circle. And only one of those geniuses makes it through to the 9th circle. So far, only five 9th Circle wizards have made a name for themselves in human history over thousands of years. Merlin was the first of them to be dubbed the ¡°9th Circle Wizard,¡± as well as the pioneer of Magic. An existence that disappeared thousands of years ago and was only passed down as a legend. He existed even after thousands of years and he was about to cross the ninth circle and venture into uncharted territory that no one had ever crossed. ¡°Ah¡¤¡¤¡¤.¡± A raggedy robe with a pure white skeleton visible through it. Blue light lit up the area where the eyeballs should be in a slightly inconvenienced skull. ¡°Finally¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤!¡± Merlin was delighted. After giving up on being human and striving for thousands of years, a path appeared in front of him. He had discovered the truth, which was always like a mirage. WOOO WOOO- Merlin¡¯s Life Force Vessel, a red gem, vibrated slightly. ¡°Ahhh! Yes, that¡¯s correct¡­ it was!¡± The realisation of Merlin reached the Life Force Vessel, the source of his strength and soul. WOOO WOOO- Zizzi- His Demi God¡¯s soul trembled, shaking the Life Force Vessel that had stood for thousands of years. Merlin didn¡¯t care that the Life Force Vessel was about to break. Zizzi- The Life Force Vessel is incontinent. *** His Life Force Vessel finally broke. Merlin was covered in red powder. The red powder that had been circling him like a thread began to gather around him. Truly¡ª The red powder quickly clumped together and hardened. It became harder and more beautiful than before. It was both evolution and a promotion in rank. At that moment, Merlin was experiencing a new world. ¡®Where?¡¯ The life vessel ruptured, allowing Merlin¡¯s soul to escape and be absorbed somewhere. Soon after, a massive, pure white door appeared in front of him. The door and Merlin are about ten steps away. He noticed it instinctively. ¡®The truth!¡¯ The truth Merlin sought after thousands of years of research into mana is beyond that door. ¡®Finally¡¤¡¤¡¤.¡¯ He moved one step closer to the truth, as if possessed. It was then. [Go back.] Merlin¡¯s soul was shaken by voices from all directions. Merlin was perplexed, unaware that anyone else was present there besides himself. ¡®Has anyone else reached the door of truth besides me?!¡¯ The first nine circles. He boasted there that he worked harder than anyone else. Is there anyone who has gone through the door of truth before him?! It was unbelievable for Merlin. Even more surprising is the fact that- [It¡¯s not something that you can overcome.] The voice¡¯s master was speaking the truth as if it were his own. That enraged Merlin even more. ¡°What is your name?¡± Did he recognise Merlin¡¯s voice? A swarm of light appeared in front of the truth door. The overall shape was blurred, despite its human appearance. Then, something grew from what he could guess was hand. Merlin¡¯s brow furrowed. ¡®Knife?¡¯ He was unsure of what it was. However, he assumed a posture as if he had put a massive sword into the ground and placed his hands on it. As if he was the gatekeeper who guards the gate of truth. Merlin made another stride forward. The distance between the door of truth and Merlin has increased to eight steps. [I warn you. Do not go any further.] But Merlin didn¡¯t stop there. He¡¯s been alive for thousands of years. But Merlin was not the type of person who would stop at just a few words. He took another step forward. The distance between him and the truth door has decreased to seven steps. [Go back.] But Merlin took another step forward. Six steps forward. Seolleung¨C The doorkeeper drew his sword from the ground as Merlin stepped forward again and again. Merlin felt a chill run up his spine as the tip of his sword pointed towards him. But Merlin smiled at the feeling he had not felt in a long time. ¡°It¡¯s fun.¡± He has never met anyone who has made him nervous since becoming the strongest in the 9th circle. But thousands of years ago, he was transcended to the 9th circle and now a strong man who makes him nervous just by pointing his sword has appeared. ¡®Who in the world are you?¡¯ A transcendent being who had reached before him to the door of truth. Merlin¡¯s lip corners twisted slightly. ¡®It will not be easy.¡¯ This man is powerful. But he couldn¡¯t just sit there like this. ¡®Behind him¡­ A light began to emanate from Merlin¡¯s soul the moment he made up his mind. As a soul, he couldn¡¯t use the nine rings he¡¯d accumulated over thousands of years, but Merlin didn¡¯t care. Whush- A golden ring formed over Merlin¡¯s head. ¡®The maximum number of circles that can be captured in a human body is nine.¡¯ Merlin took a very long time to realise this. He continues by saying that he spent the same amount of time forming the tenth ring and the end result was a golden ring floating above his head. ¡°Circle of the soul.¡± The tenth circle was built on his soul rather than his body. This golden ring, which contained the lifelong realisation of a wizard named Merlin, was the answer he discovered after reaching the door of truth. The ring, which shone like the sun, boosted Merlin¡¯s self-esteem. ¡®If he has this, he can finally move towards the ultimate goal he has set for himself.¡± Merlin took another step forward. He is now 5 steps away from the door of truth. But the gatekeeper couldn¡¯t watch him step forward¡­ [Foolish¡¤¡¤¡¤.] Seeing Merlin move despite his warning, he raised his sword upright. The sword¡¯s tip was pointing up at the sky. It was the attitude of both parties who agreed to fight. The sword gradually fell. Even if it¡¯s too slow to make you yawn. Merlin¡¯s face hardened as he observed this. Anyone would think it is simple to avoid such a slow attack, but if he can¡¯t, it means it cannot be avoided and must be faced directly. That is precisely what his attack was. A sword attack is unavoidable. That is why it is an unstoppable attack. ¡®Go back!¡¯ Merlin¡¯s will was communicated and his tenth ring lit up a brilliant light. The power of the 10th circle, which contains the will of the owner, has changed the world. Ghieeek¨C The falling sword and the intangible space engaged in combat. It may appear to be a minor battle, but those who can guess will be astounded. The fact that this seemingly insignificant battle has the potential to split the continent in half. Kirik-Kirik¨C Merlin¡¯s will to cut became a law and his will to counter the sword became a perfect law to confront the opponent. Meanwhile, Merlin advanced another step. There are four more steps to take. ¡®Done!¡¯ Merlin was certain. With this power, he would be able to repel any attack that came his way. But it was his fault. [Say it again. It¡¯s too early for you!] Whoosh¨C With his brief cry, the spiritual space that Merlin had created was shattered. ¡®Uh?!¡¯ Merlin is taken aback by the unexpected situation. After his spiritual space broke, he stared blankly at the sword that fell slowly on him. ¡®¡­failed?¡¯ Is he willing to stay this way when the goal of his life is so close? Whoosh- Nonetheless, he took another step forward. There are only three steps remaining. With his incomplete 10th circle which was just formed, rotated violently. Whoose¨C Merlin¡¯s magic, which had been broken, was quickly reassembled. Despite the fact that Merlin¡¯s magic had been completely destroyed in the power struggle, he refused to give up. ¡®If it can¡¯t be done once, he¡¯ll fight him twice, if not three times!¡¯ Rumbling¨C Merlin¡¯s magic clashed with his sword once more and he took another step forward. Two steps ahead. [Sorry¡­.] Despite Merlin¡¯s desperate will to counterattack, he remained calm. Then¨C His sword cut through the magic and slowly descended towards Merlin¡¯s throat. Whiting-jilling! The unfinished tenth ring squealed. CH 2 ¡®Is it this far?¡¯ Merlin¡¯s face became full of sadness. But he didn¡¯t give up. ¡®I still need to reach the door of truth!¡¯ Wei hey hey- With the help of the 10th circle, he did his best to release the last amount of magic, he took another step. There is only one step left. If he takes that one step and overcomes the obstacles, he will be able to reach the door of truth. However, Jig- The light of the 10th circle, which had accomplished its mission beyond its limits, slowly faded. [It¡¯s over.] The moment the sword stopped moving again, it was about to split Merlin in half. Gut- The sound of the door opening was heard from behind him. The door of truth has been opened. [What?!] This situation was not expected even by him, so he was very embarrassed. While the startled guy¡¯s sword stopped, a light burst out from the door of truth, enveloped Merlin¡¯s soul and sent him flying. ¡®Ah¡¤¡¤¡¤.¡¯ Merlin thought as his vision turned white. ¡®I saw it!¡¯ Although It was a very short time, but for a moment. He could see beyond the gate of truth. In addition, a distant intellectual pleasure spreads through Merlin¡¯s mind. Excitement surged in his chest. Meanwhile, he was able to realise that the door of truth is giving him another chance. ¡®So it means he can take the last step next time?¡¯ With that thought, he read the expression of the prosecutor who seemed still bewildered. Merlin¡¯s lips twisted. ¡®I¡¯m backing down like this now, but the next time will be different.¡¯ A wizard is one who prepares. A wizard¡¯s skills vary greatly depending on whether he prepares or not. Now, in an unexpected situation, he backs away as it is, but as long as he knows that he is in front of the door of truth, if he prepares thoroughly¡­. Gut- The door of truth closed and Merlin¡¯s vision was completely white, he exclaimed. ¡°Clean your neck and wait, you swordsman!¡± *************** A boy raised his upper body and shouted. ¡°Clean your neck and wait, you swordsman!¡± A voice echoing through the training ground. Over 20 boys and girls who were in the midst of training turned their attention to this. What was unusual was that each boy and girl had a sword in each hand. ¨C You bastard with a sword! The sound of the boy¡¯s shout echoed through the walls of the training ground engulfed in silence. In addition, cold anticipation soared from all directions. ¡°¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ogue.¡± Dozens of swords that give off supreme anticipation. There were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him coldly. The boy who was drenched in cold sweat behind his back. ¡°Ah¡¤¡¤¡¤.¡± dump- He fainted again with a small moan. ************** Merlin awoke and blinked his eyes blankly. The white ceiling of the infirmary was clean, but his mind was terribly complicated. ¡®What the hell is¡­¡¯ Unfamiliar but also familiar memories mixed in. ¡®Is this someone else¡¯s memory¡­ or is this my memory¡­?¡¯ Everything was confusing. His current name was Merlin and his former name was also Merlin. But the two Merlins were very different. He grabbed his head for a long time and was confused, then he came to a conclusion. ¡°Is it my second¡­..life?¡± Just before the 10th circle, he was interrupted with the door of truth in front of him. Then, Merlin¡¯s soul was thrown out of the space of the door of truth. And when he opened his eyes again, he was living a new life. ¡°It¡¯s not even funny¡­¡­¡± Merlin looked down at his immaculate hands. He was a human body that had given up to dig into the magical truth. ¡°Sixteen¡­?¡± Merlin, who had lived there for thousands of years, has now become a 16-year-old fledgling. ¡°Heh heh heh.¡± The laughter of a prolific old man escaped from Merlin¡¯s mouth. The nine rings that encircled his heart were gone, but instead he gained a young, youthful body. Everything he had built fell apart, but he got a chance to start over. He doesn¡¯t know if he should like this or be sad about it. There was something else that made Merlin feel even more ridiculous. ¡°This Merlin has¡­..a mana heart?¡± A chunk of mana the size of a walnut that sits on the dantian instead of the heart¡¯s mana circle. It was the mana heart that the knights learned. For Merlin, who had trained his circle on his heart all his life, Mana Heart on the dantian was too awkward. ¡°When I think of that swordsman bastard, my blood swells up¡­ mana circle on the dantian¡­.. a knight!¡± The back of his head hurt as he thought of the gatekeeper of the gate of truth that had interrupted him. Because of that, he was angry with his current self, who was learning swordsmanship rather than magic. ¡°Whoa¡­ let¡¯s think about what happened¡­¡± Merlin calmly controlled his anger. He was not born with mixed memories of his present and previous lives. He thought he might need some time. ¡°Oh man¡­..¡± Merlin let out a groan at his throbbing headache. He felt as if he was in so much pain that it came up to the back of his head. Something bulge touched Merlin¡¯s fingertips as he rubbed the back of his head. ¡°Is this¡­ a lump?¡± He thought that his headache was not the only cause of his mixed memories. It looked like he had been struck so hard that a lump the size of a fist appeared on the back of his head. ¡®Did he remember his past life because of this?¡¯ Druck- While Merlin was bewildered, the door of the infirmary opened. ¡°Are you awake?¡± A middle-aged woman in a white gown came in. As she strode over to the bed, she grabbed Merlin¡¯s chin and turned him around. She opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and even touched the lump on the back of his head. ¡°It¡¯s a mild concussion. I¡¯ve told the instructor, so you can take a break until tomorrow and return to training. But don¡¯t miss the theory class.¡± ¡°¡¤¡¤¡¤Yeah.¡± ¡°Go.¡± The good teacher patted Merlin on the back. At her urging, Merlin left the infirmary tumbled. As he stepped out of the room, a neat hallway greeted him. All kinds of armour and weapons were on display in the hallway. Merlin¡¯s figure was reflected in the polished silver armour. He has light blonde hair and emerald eyes. A noble, handsome boy stood there. His appearance was very different from that of the ordinary wizard Merlin, who had brown eyes and brown eyes in the past. Merlin, who stood there for a while, watching his change of appearance and trudged his steps. An unfamiliar yet familiar place made him have a strange feeling. He looked around and Merlin, who had moved around buildings, entered a room. ¡®Is this my dorm?¡¯ It¡¯s a double room. It was the dormitory used by Merlin and his roommate. He flopped down on his bed and sighed. ¡°I don¡¯t even have enough mana hearts¡­ an academy at this age. haha.¡± In the past, he had hundreds or thousands of wizards flocking to him to teach them about magic. But now, as a student, he is attending the academy. That too was the swordsmanship academy. ¡®It¡¯s not even a magic academy¡­.¡¯ The moment he thought that, Merlin¡¯s eyes widened. Merlin blinked his eyes for a long time. ¡°Uh?¡± He felt strange, but too strange. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± This is because, no matter how hard he tried, nothing related to magic could come to his mind ¡°in the memory of his current life.¡± Merlin¡¯s memories are divided into present and past lives. The magical memories of Merlin in his previous life flashed brilliantly. However, among the memories of the present life and recent times, he could not find any memories related to ¡®magic¡¯. ¡®Why?¡¯ Is it because the memories are not completely mixed yet? The current Merlin felt very unfamiliar with the word magic. It was as if he had encountered the word magic for the first time, or as if he had no memory of it. ¡°Why¡¤¡¤¡¤?¡± Then the door swung open and a boy walked in. ¡°Hey, Merlin!¡± He was a boy with dark brown hair and black eyes. ¡®So what¡¯s this guy¡¯s name¡­?¡¯ Merlin recalled the boy¡¯s name from his memory. ¡°Kay?¡± ¡°You, are you okay?¡± Kay leaned over to Merlin, who was sitting on the bed. ¡®Stuttering Kay.¡¯ That was Kay¡¯s nickname Merlin remembered. With him, he recalled information about his own and Kay. A self-sacrificing smile appeared on Merlin¡¯s lips. ¡®Orphan of the commoner family and illegitimate child of the noble family..¡­¡¯ Here, the commoner orphan was himself and the illegitimate aristocrat was Kay in front of him. Because of their origins, Merlin and Kay were grouped together and were being bullied by some of their classmates. The lump on the back of Merlin¡¯s head was also for that reason. ¡°Merlin, are you okay?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°You¡­..ah, isn¡¯t it painful?¡± ¡°It hurts as if my head is going to fall apart.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ What should I do¡­ Hey, did you go to the infirmary?¡± ¡°I have already been there.¡± Merlin¡¯s eyes lit up with curiosity as he looked at Kay who was restless. Kay¡¯s reflection in his eyes didn¡¯t seem like he was simply concerned about his own wounds. ¡°Why? What do you have to say?¡± ¡°That, that¡­.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t hesitate, just say what¡¯s on your mind.¡± Kay hesitates. CH 3 The boy named Kay reluctantly replied. ¡°I think Edward¡­ was angry with what you said¡­ that¡­¡± ¡°What did I say to Edward?¡± ¡°That¡­ the knife-handler¡­ it¡¯s broken¡­.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± It was then that Merlin realised the word he had uttered just before he fainted. Remembering that made the back of his head throb again. ¡®You bastard Edward.¡¯ Edward was bullying him and Kay. The lump on the back of his head was also his work. ¡°It¡¯s still complicated in my head, but everyone who doesn¡¯t say much is fucking stupid.¡± ¡°Uh¡¤¡¤¡¤?¡± Kay¡¯s eyes widened in surprise at Merlin¡¯s reaction, which would normally have shuddered greatly at Edward¡¯s name. However, there was an accident that cluttered Merlin¡¯s head by a bastard named Edward. ¡°Alright, Kay.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°I wonder which building was the magic academy? I can¡¯t remember because I hurt my head right now.¡± ¡°What¡­ Academy?¡± ¡°Magic.¡± At Merlin¡¯s question, Kay tilted his head. And his response in return was beyond Merlin¡¯s imagination. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°¡¤¡¤¡¤What?¡± ¡°What is magic?¡¯ ¡°¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤?!¡± At this point, Merlin was even more embarrassed. He asked with a look of disbelief in him. ¡°Hey, you don¡¯t know magic?¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard it for the first time.¡± Kei¡¯s expression was very innocent. It¡¯s as if he doesn¡¯t really know magic. Merlin poured his words out like rapid-fire cannons. ¡°You don¡¯t know magic! The best study that explores the truth through mana?! Does it make sense to not know that?¡± ¡°Uh huh¡­ I don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°Oh, it can¡¯t be! You¡¯re stupid and you don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°But I¡­ I¡¯m 15th in the theory test¡­¡± ¡°R¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤ogue.¡± Merlin¡¯s face hardened as he looked at Kay, who grew pale at the sound of stupidity. ¡®It can¡¯t be¡­ it can¡¯t be¡­¡¯ He denied in his mind, but a slight uneasiness rose from one side of his chest. Then Merlin asked with a hardened complexion on his face. ¡°Library¡¤¡¤¡¤.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Where is the library? No, take me to the library. I hurt my head right now, so I can¡¯t think well.¡± ¡°Ah Okay.¡± At Merlin¡¯s urging, Kay hurriedly left the room to the library. ¡®It can¡¯t be that¡­¡¯ As he followed Kay, Merlin¡¯s head continued to deny this matter. As if to erase his own anxiety, he kept denying this. *********** ¡°Ah¡¤¡¤¡¤.¡± An exclamation of disappointment erupted over the books piled up on his desk. ¡°No¡ª¨C.¡± There was a despair in Merlin¡¯s eyes. ¡°No¡­¡± It¡¯s been five hours since he¡¯s been to the library. Kay, who had brought him to the library, had been sleeping on the desk for three hours before. In the meantime, Merlin went through many kinds of histories. However, there were no detailed records of magic anywhere. There is only a brief explanation, ¡®There was such a thing in the past.¡¯ ¡± Such nonsense¡ª.¡± In fact, he knew it vaguely. This is because the knowledge he knew while reading the book came to mind in a chain. That made him even more unbelievable. ¡°So magic has disappeared¡­..¡± Mana Hearts and Mana Circles. It was a representative skill to deal with mana and those who felt mana could choose one of the two paths. But now the only thing left in the world was the technology to create mana hearts. ¡°A thousand years¡­ a thousand years¡­had passed¡­.¡± After rummaging through numerous historical books, he was able to realise that a thousand years had passed since he entered the 10th circle. And for a thousand years, the world has changed. ¡°Anyway, how can they forget magic?¡± Although he denied it. Merlin, who has looked through the history books, was able to analyse the reason why magic has disappeared. ¡°Science and Awakening.¡± Science has grown remarkably over the past thousand years. Even ordinary people without mana can generate electricity and carry powerful weapons. And awakening. The awakening ability, which was created a thousand years ago, took root only when mana hearts were created. Not a single person who made Mana Heart had an awakening period without exception. The era when wizards studied to lose their hair and shoot magic arrows. In such an era, the knights who used to sharpen their swords suddenly scattered telekinetic powers and spewed fire from their hands. There were even flying knights. A shortcut to gaining strength faster than others and becoming more powerful is open to mana heart. Because of this, many people must have abandoned the path of a wizard and turned away from the path of magic. As the years continued, the seeds of the wizards, which had gradually dwindled, had dried up. So magic disappeared, but mankind reached its greatest prosperity. ¡°It¡¯s the age of prosperity..¡­ hahaha.¡± Merlin couldn¡¯t help but laugh. In the end, magic was forgotten and disappeared¡­ A world where only mana hearts and knights remain. In the present, it was as if he was denying his past, which had been devoted to magic all his life. Woong- As Merlin focused his consciousness, he could feel the mana heart in his dantian. In addition, Merlin¡¯s ¡®A-class regenerative power¡¯ during his awakening, responded within it. ¡°¡­you are laughing.¡± Merlin scoffed. ¡°What is this?¡± He could never comprehend the present day. In his view, the awakening period was nothing more than a poorly stacked wooden block. That made him even more angry. ¡°Are they forgetting magic just because of something like this?¡± The feeling of being denied for the rest of his life due to a shortcut that was not even funny made him feel a smug disgrace. ¡°If they have forgotten¡­ I will make them remember it again and never allow them to forget it again.¡± He was once called a pioneer and revolutionary of magic, a wizard who created a splendid era of magic. The original 9th ??Circle Archmage Merlin clenched his teeth and vowed. I will once again let the world know the greatness of magic. Also¨C ¡®Once again, I¡¯ll go up to the 10th circle and beat that swordsman in the face!¡¯ He also has a goal, that is to reach the 10th circle. Merlin clenched his fists tightly. ¡°Churup- what did you say?¡± Kay woke up and asked, wiping the saliva from his lips. Merlin said while looking straight into the guy¡¯s hazy eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go back first.¡± ¡°Huh? Where are you going? Well, it¡¯s time to close the library soon.¡± ¡°I have a place to go.¡± ¡°Uh, where?¡± ¡°Private training room.¡± ¡°Hey, at this hour?¡± Merlin¡¯s eyes gleamed as he answered. ¡°I have work to do.¡± Considering his age and consolidating the mana heart, it seems like the present Merlin had some decent talent. However, that only applies to the young Merlin, who dreams of becoming a knight To the current Merlin, Mana Heart was as uncomfortable as wearing clothes that didn¡¯t fit. All he needed now was to get rid of these uncomfortable clothes and put his own clothes back. Pounding¡ª As the fluttering excitement stimulated his heart, his gleeful mood improved a little. Genesis Knights Academy. It was one of the five prestigious academies in the Empire and the name of the academy where Merlin currently attends. As it is a prestigious academy, the tuition fee of the academy was so high that ordinary people could not afford it. It was because of the special system that Merlin was able to attend such a prestigious academy. Special scholarship system for common people. It was a meaningful system in which some of the talented commoners were given full scholarships and educated them so that they could become equal in the empire. The best opportunity for commoners who have talent but cannot afford it, at a young age. However, the system¡¯s screening criteria were not particularly strict and commoners who passed this screening appeared at least once every few years. And the special scholarship student who appeared at the Genesis Academy after 5 years was Merlin. ¡°Whoa¡­¡± Looking at the private training room that was boasted by his classmates as having good facilities, Merlin quietly contemplated the interior. Woong¡ª A mana heart the size of a fist and a heterogeneous energy created in his Dantian. It¡¯s where Merlin¡¯s awakening power was. ¡®It¡¯s class A regenerative power¡­¡¯ From F to A and further to S. In the grades of the awakening phase, which are divided into stages, Grade A was truly a blessing given to those who were born with good fortune. Also, this power¡¯s credit made Merlin eligible for his special admissions scholarship. Merlin was about to forsake such a blessing. ¡°To me, this is not a blessing, but a curse.¡± Except for a very few that appear as mutants, there is no one who possesses mana heart and mana circle at the same time. Merlin tried to create a mana circle out of fear, but the mana he had collected gathered enough mana hearts. He meant that even in this life, he could only choose a mana circle between a mana circle and a mana heart. ¡®If it¡¯s incompatible, it¡¯s best to choose what I¡¯m good at.¡¯ The current Merlin made Mana Heart around the age of ten. It¡¯s only been 7 years now. On the other hand, the length of time Merlin in his previous life dealt with the mana circle was a long time that could not even be counted. It was not even worth thinking about which to choose between the two. ¡°Good. I will just choose mana circle.¡± Merlin, who muttered a little, picked up the dagger that had been set aside. Whoops whoops¡ª Merlin took a deep breath and took the dagger in reverse. The place where his blade headed was near his dantian. ¡°Whoa¡­¡± Taking a long breath, he put mana into the dagger. The dagger that contained mana was trembling slightly with a blue light. Jiing¨C The fastest and simplest way to break the stacked mana hearts and spread mana was to have a direct impact on mana hearts with mana. What Merlin was trying to do was a knight¡¯s most taboo thing.
