Chapter 375 – Ring of Resistance

We visited Ninggard’s laboratory to receive artifacts.
It was late afternoon after I came back from training, but the lab was still busy with numerous staff.

Everyone must be preparing for a showdown with the Wisemans.

“Wait here for a while. I’ll get the Ring of Resistance from the lab.”

Lawrence stopped us outside and brought the ring of resistance inside the lab. We have been able to see with our own eyes what the Ring of Resistance is.

A platinum-colored ring made of Orichalcum.
All kinds of magic spells that increase magic resistance were enchanted on the outer surface of the ring. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, the number of enchanted spells exceeds three digits.
Hundreds of defense magics were enchanted in this one ring.

To be honest, just looking at it with my own eyes, I was amazed at the technological prowess of Nygard who created the ring.

“It’s a ring plastered with spells that increase magic resistance. If you wear that one, you won’t get hurt in a duel with quite a few wizards.”
“You know exactly what type of spell it is. It’s an item specially made to deal with a Master who possesses Levatein. It can be said to be a uniquely valuable item among the Artifacts in the Celestial World.”

In my opinion, even if I sold that ring alone, I would be able to live on for generations.
However, in a situation where the battle with the Wiseman is ahead, you can’t be obsessed with money.

“Now, Pamela. Get one from you first. Think of it as a gift from Ninggard.”
“I get it.”

Pamela took the ring of resistance and put it on her finger.
If there were such great artifacts, it would be good for all superhumans participating in the war to wear them, but Lawrence brought only three rings of resistance.

“Luke, this is your ring. Always keep it from your body until the battle with the Wiseman is over.”
“Are there all three rings? Any more made?”
“No. There are no materials left even if you try to transmute more. Orichalcum still has what you have transmuted, but all other materials have run out. To transmute the ring of resistance, you need a lot of precious materials. Like the heart of an old dragon. …”

Lawrence told me the ingredients used to craft the Ring of Resistance. Dragon’s heart, Pegasus wings, devil whale’s eyes, Kraken’s skin… There are only materials that are extremely difficult to obtain. Besides, a dragon’s heart goes in? You mean it takes one dragon to make one ring of resistance?

“…Do you understand now? Even if you mobilize all the alchemy ingredients stored in Nygard, making three is the end.”
“If there is not enough material, there is nothing we can do.”

If an artifact was that valuable, it would be right for only superhumans who directly deal with the Master to wear it. It was made for me, Lawrence and Pamela. I received the Ring of Resistance from Lawrence and put it on my finger.

‘How effective is it?’

I wanted to check the performance of the ring that increases magic resistance.
To test it out, I lit a fire myself with magic.

“Fire.”

Roaring!

I summoned a fireball in the air and put my hand directly into the blazing fire. I put my bare hand into a roaring fire, but it’s not hot at all.
I didn’t feel any heat, let alone burn my hands.

“Oh oh…”

It’s also an artifact that increases elemental resistance.
The performance is sure!

“Luke, aren’t your hands hot?”
“It’s not hot at all. I’ll be fine even if I sleep in the fire overnight.”

Rebecca looked at me and put on a curious expression.
Lawrence, who had been silently watching my actions, opened her mouth.

“The resistance ring can perfectly block general magic or even rune magic. From the magic of the great magic rank, even if you wear the resistance ring, you will receive damage. Of course, the damage will be reduced to a considerably reduced level.”
“If it reduces the damage, I’m satisfied with that. If you don’t have this, your body will melt in Levatein’s heat, right?”
“It will melt miserably. Think of that ring as your lifeline.”

Does it mean that from the magic of the great magic rank, even if you wear the ring of resistance, you cannot completely block it? In fact, it was a great artifact just to block the lower level magic. If it shows a better performance here, there is nothing to say even if it is treated as a holy relic rather than a simple artifact.

“It’s okay for everyone to disband today. You’ve had a lot of hardships with training up until now. I wish you all the best of luck so that you can survive until the end. If I have something to tell you, I’ll send you a message.”

Artifacts were also paid after the training was over.
All that remains now is to engage in a decisive battle with the Demon King’s army advancing towards Yoensu.

“The head of staff has worked hard too. We’ll go now.”
“See you later! Master!”

Me and Rebecca decided to separate from our teachers and return to Bella’s mansion. The place we were returning to now was not the inn, but Bella’s mansion. Because I wanted to meet the lovers who were waiting for us at the mansion.

“Let’s go to the mansion, Rebecca. Let’s all stay there until the war is over.”
“Yes.”

Magic charge was over, but for the time being, my lovers and I had decided to gather at Bella’s mansion. It was because the news of the invasion of the Demon King’s army with a large army spread and the atmosphere in the city was cluttered.

How messy are you?

A few days ago, some of the citizens acted as if they had heard the news that the world was about to end.
Some were caught robbing expensive goods from stores, others caught flirting with the opposite sex, or spreading strange rumors.

Should I say the atmosphere of the chaotic end of the century?

“Let this go! Let go…!”
“If you continue to cause a riot, I will execute you immediately!”

It seems that even now, some people were robbing the city and were caught by the guards. I could clearly see the rugged men being seized and led away by the guards.

‘The mood of the citizens is serious. I feel like the world will end tomorrow.’

In order to protect the lovers in this situation, it would be better to gather them in the mansion.
Wouldn’t crazy people be able to do tricks if everyone gathered in the mansion?

Wendy’s daughter, Mary, was also planning to stay at the mansion starting today.

Me and Rebecca walked through town to Bella’s mansion.
When we entered the mansion, our lovers greeted us.

“Welcome, Mr. Luke. Mrs. Rebecca.”
“Brother, did you receive training from your father well?”
“I received it well.”

Kate, Bella, Wendy and Delia. All of them were waiting for us at the mansion.
Mary also arrived at the mansion while we were gone, and she was seen standing next to Wendy.

A young girl with flowing brown hair.
Mary looked at me and waved her hand.

“Hello Brother Luke!”
“Hi.”
“There are a lot of pretty sisters here. They’re all brothers’ girlfriends. They’re all like mothers to Mary, aren’t they?”
“Yeah, you can say that.”
“Mary has a lot of her mom, so she’s happy!”

Mary seemed to think of all my lovers like mothers.
In the blink of an eye, Mary’s mother had grown to five!
It was fortunate that Mary accepted my lovers as her own family besides Wendy.

There was something I needed to tell my girlfriends right now.
It was the fact that I had reached the realm of the Archmage.

“Everyone pay attention. I have become a great wizard now.”

When I revealed that I had become a great wizard straight-forward, my lovers looked surprised.

“What?!”
“Mo, Mongma-nim is a great wizard?”
“Soo, you’ve only been training for a week, but you’re saying you became a great wizard?”

Everyone will be surprised.
My training under Lawrence lasted only a week.
Everyone would be horrified to hear that he became an archmage in a week.

“Thanks to the magic charge. The magic factor exceeded 20,000, so I was able to easily reach the level of a great mage.”
“Ah… Come to think of it, my brother’s magic coefficient was at the level of a god, right? Are you saying that having a high magic coefficient is the secret to becoming a great wizard?”
“Because you have enough magical power, it’s easy to achieve enlightenment.”
“Ohh…”

In fact, the secret to my rapid growth isn’t necessarily because of my high magic attribute.
It was also because he had a Wiseman brain that could understand anything about magic.
If he had only accumulated high mana without magical talent, he would never have been able to reach the level of a great wizard.

“I really respect you brother.”
“Congratulations, Mr. Luke! As expected, Mr. Luke is the one who does it.”
“Are you sure that the Archmage was born in our Adventurer’s Guild? Noona is proud of you.”
“Damn it…!! I believed in you, Nightma-nim!”

When they found out that I had become a great wizard, my lovers cheered enthusiastically.

“Wow ah ahhhhh!
“So far, all of the magical power charging was to become a great wizard!”

Everyone reacted intensely, and it was unmatched with satisfaction.
This is a proper reaction.

When everyone is in the heat of excitement and chattering.

It was then.
Mary, who had been watching us quietly, suddenly opened her mouth.

“…But what is magical power charging?”

It was at that moment that the little girl’s voice rang out.
Everyone fell into silence as a group.

“Eh.”
“…!”
“…Ah.”

I never thought Mary would ask what magical power charging is.

Everyone is in a confused mood.
You can’t teach a 12-year-old girl the truth about magical power charging, can you?

“Meh, Mary!”

Wendy belatedly tried to quell her daughter’s curiosity.

“You don’t have to know what magical power charging is yet. It’s a secret only for adults…”
“Why are you keeping it a secret? Mary also wants to know what magical power charging is. I want to try charging it with her mother.”
“You can’t talk like that…!”

Do you want to recharge your magic with your mom?!

Do you know what magical power charging means?
Everyone’s atmosphere was tinged with shock and horror due to Mary’s shocking remark.
The inside of the mansion, which was like a festival atmosphere, became quiet in an instant.

“Why is everyone so quiet? Can’t Mary be magically charged? Especially with her mother?”
“I-Absolutely no way…! The Bright family’s genealogy is in danger…!”
“I’m really curious~!”

This is why you shouldn’t speak carelessly in front of your kids!
It took a lot of effort that night to sort out Mary’s questions.
