Chapter 82
Episode 82: The Guardian Gate and the British Magic Association (6)
Kang Min-hyuk began to work on the development of elemental separation to attain the water-circle. He studied the data provided by Wayne Lapierre, who provided a place for Kang Min-hyuk, which quickly became a world of his own.
[The separation of water properties is very dangerous. If you follow the system incorrectly, the circle will be destroyed due to the collapse of mana. In the worst-case scenario, all of the moisture in the body will evaporate. Therefore, sufficient simulation training is required for experimentation, and integrating a relationship with water into your life can be very helpful in separating attributes.]
In the process of understanding the dangers that stem from element extraction, Wayne Lapierre would have lost many researchers – time-limited wizards with little life left – perhaps terminally ill or old. Often those nearing death chose to make a sublime sacrifice for the advancement of magic. The recorded side effects of the circle’s collapse and extreme dehydration indicate studies of the direct biological experience. The result wasn’t dissimilar to the flame-circle formation, which generated an intense internal burning sensation. However, Wayne Lapierre had found a safe way to accomplish the separation, so the only matter left to figure out was how to tame the mana.
Kang Min-hyuk found himself remembering something Elisha had said.
“You have to be very cautious when you bring the Mana of Flames into the circle. You have to treat the essence like a fragile life; it must be soothed like a new-born baby and treated with the same tenderness and care. However, even in those circumstances, there is no guarantee of success. If it deviates a little from the existing circle, the result is disastrous.”
Fortunately, the delivery process did not differ much from the flame version. Kang Min-hyuk set the appropriate input value, and mana could be seen moving on the experimental monitor. The name Sarah Rock came to mind. The Pages in his mind flicked over in a book named “Exploration: Poseidon.” After getting to know Elisha, he learned about other wizards familiar with attribute separation.
[How can Poseidon use the power of water? The basis is the extraction of elements. A circle is formed purely of water properties, and Poseidon shows strong water control based on it. The separation of attributes is a hazardous method…Many have tried – myself included – and we have failed.]
