The magic circle activated once again.
From there, lightning strikes incessantly.
– Kwaaang!
The magic circle, which had been shining for about 10 minutes, soon completely lost its light and disappeared.
Leo managed to make it usable one more time, but the overload was too much in return.
The magic circle, which had been spent decades and a lot of money and time, was completely obsolete.
And… .
“Crrr… .”
Surprisingly, Uranus was still alive.
“I’m going crazy.”
Leo let out a sigh.
He barely survived thanks to Sellies coming to the magic circle.
I could have been baptized by that thunderbolt together… . It’s fortunate that I got away from that, but I wonder if it means anything at all.
Considering Uranus’ terrible resilience, a wound like that would quickly heal.
“… I will prepare to fight again.”
Celise gripped her sword with a firm expression.
Looking back, Duke Ryant and the other knights raised their swords with a stiff expression.
The wizards were each memorizing the incantation again.
Everyone was exhausted and couldn’t show the proper power, but they didn’t give up.
Indeed, it is the appearance of the best of the dukedom.
Even in a hopeless situation, it doesn’t collapse.
In other words, I realized how strong the rulers of the West are.
Even with this much power and this preparation, the expedition failed.
‘But there is still one more way left.’
However, if he was the ruler of the West, this side was once a high-profile gamer.
Gamers have gamer ways.
“Lord Verdict. Write it down.”
“Okay, low.”
At Leo’s words, Verdikd took out a small potion bottle from his chest with a firm expression on his face.
It was a potion containing a purple liquid.
He opened the stopper and drank it in one gulp.
‘Awakening potion duration is about 5 minutes. A decision must be made within it.’
Awakening Potion.
It was given to Verdict before Leo came here, and it was airlifted from Gawain.
The main ingredient is the hydra core, mixed with various herbs, and Sonia asked to make it.
As befits a future great alchemist, after graduating from the academy, her skills improved.
Rarely heard news is that he was recognized as a key manpower within a few months of entering the alchemy workshop as a probationary.
As for the awakening potion, Leo knew the recipe, so Sonia only had to make it.
The effect was simple.
“Ahh… this… Is this the level of the 7th class… .”
Forcibly sending a person who has entered the edge of the realm to a higher level, albeit briefly!
After the effect ends, side effects come and the duration is short, but if someone like Verdict uses it, there is nothing like it.
Verdict was shedding tears, perhaps because he had stepped into the state he longed for.
cried Leo.
“ball! There is no time!”
We have entered the realm that we have dreamed of for decades.
I fully understood that he was sentimental, but he really didn’t have time.
Even at this moment, Uranus was recovering at an insane speed.
“Sigh… All right.”
Verdict raised both hands high with a sigh.
Colossal mana wriggled from his hand and shot towards the sky.
“It’s the best environment to use 7th class magic for the first time.”
Dark clouds still filled the sky due to the influence of the magic circle.
Right after tens of thousands of lightning strikes, the air is filled with thunder.
All of this helped the magic work.
“It’s a magic I’ve only established theories about since I saw it in an ancient book I got one day.”
After muttering that, Verdict memorized an incantation.
Awakening potion duration is 5 minutes.
However, he instinctively realized.
It could also be called intuition.
That he could only be defeated by gathering all the strength he could generate during those five minutes and pouring it into it all at once.
That’s why Verdict raised his strength.
A blow that pours out all the output he can produce in a single instant for five minutes.
[Summon Phantasmal Species of Lightning – Navaris]
-Kurrureung!
The sky twisted and the dark clouds parted.
What came out of it was the head of a huge dragon.
The dragon, made of yellow thunderbolts, wriggled several times and embroidered the air.
The expedition members looked up at the sky as one.
It was an overwhelming sight just to see.
“this… 7th class magic… .”
The strongest of the current era, the only one in the empire.
7th class magic descended.
-Quaaang!
The lightning dragon devoured Uranus.
Two lightning strikes from the magic circle, and even Navaris created by Verdict.
-thud!
Uranus knelt down.
But surprisingly… .
[Big… My head hurts.]
He was still alive!
“… … .”
“… … .”
Everyone, including Duke Ryant, was at a loss for words.
It was the same with Leo this time.
How can you not die even after doing this?
‘The deal was slightly lacking.’
Verdict’s summoning of Navaris should have been 1.5 times more powerful than that.
However, due to the effect of the potion, I entered the 7th class, so my power did not come out.
Because of that, I failed to completely finish him off.
Leo bit his lower lip slightly.
That was the moment.
[How long ago did I come to my senses?]
“… … ?”
For a moment, Leo noticed something strange.
During the battle that lasted over half a day, the giant did not say a few words.
sick or killing.
I couldn’t even do it properly like a guy who lacked something.
But now it was different.
Not only did he open his mouth clearly, but his eyes were filled with vertigo, not bloody eyes.
Leo said carefully.
“The last giant… Uranus?”
[yes. I am Uranus.]
The giant nodded heavily.
[Who are you then?]
“… … ?”
It was strange to say something from a guy who had been fighting to death just before.
But what if that idiot-like appearance was crazy?
What if he got hit by tens of thousands of lightning bolts and regained his sanity?
That makes sense.
Leo was about to open his mouth to ask his guess.
But Uranus spoke again faster.
[Silver hair and silver eyes. Same as Karst the Great. He’s too young and weak to be called him… son?]
“… I am a descendant of the great king of karst.”
[It must have been quite a while to say that it is a descendant.]
“It is. Because the founder was from 300 years ago.”
[300 years… Is it the first time in 300 years that I came to my senses?]
Uranus had a bittersweet tone.
He shook his head and looked at the humans.
[yes. Humans. Why am I here? It’s not inside the realm, but it’s coming out.]
Others were giggling in disbelief at the situation.
The first to come to his senses was Verdict.
“… you. Is it really Uranus, the ruler of the West? He is not this intelligent.”
[I was being punished. For the crime of crossing the sky.]
“What does that mean?”
[A person without qualifications does not need to know.]
Verdict’s face turned red at Uranus’ answer.
“My wife and son died at your hands. I have come to pay for the blood.”
[Well. Is it blood revenge? Then I can understand why you came to me.]
Uranus stared at the humans again.
[But it is impossible for you to kill me.]
It was as if he was talking about an absolute law.
At those conclusive words, Duke Ryant bit his lip.
“You almost got killed by us just now.”
[no way. Seeing that I came to my senses, it looks like I’ve been hurt quite a bit, but I’m not sure I’m dead.]
“… … .”
The duke could not dispute his words.
In fact, Uranus’ wounds were recovering rapidly, and even if that wasn’t the case, there seemed to be no problem moving.
Conversely, the Duke and others were on the brink of exhaustion.
[But… Descendants of Karst Great. you are different If it’s you, it might be possible to kill me someday in the future.]
Ouranos looked at Leo and smirked.
[To see a talented person who can cross the sky… What a happy day. good. I must have come to my senses after a long time after seeing the mysterious being, I don’t remember, but I apologize for killing your blood and flesh.]
“… … .”
With Uranus saying that, Verdict had nothing to say.
I’ve dreamed of revenge for decades, but the target doesn’t even remember and he even apologizes to himself.
‘Cluck… .’
It was futile.
I never thought this would be the result of the goal I’ve been running for so long.
Uranus tilted his head.
[Don’t you like apples? If so, I will reward you. Among the things I have… I don’t know what remains. Because the last time I remember was 300 years ago. Anyway, I’ll give you what you want.]
“Cluck, cluck, cluck… .”
Verdict smiled dejectedly.
When my opponent came out like this, I didn’t want to do anything anymore.
Rather, it made me feel at ease.
What did you come all this way for?
“What is the reward? done.”
Verdict shook his head.
I did everything I could to get here.
Some of the wisdom that comes with getting older is that you have to accept reality.
Verdict thought that now was the time.
His revenge failed.
“Uncle… .”
Duke Ryant looked at him with worried eyes.
“I can’t see you with that expression. Albert. By the way, Uranus says he’ll reward you with something, so tell me what you want.”
“I don’t have anything like that.”
Duke Ryant shook his head.
He only joined in for his one and only uncle, and had no personal grudge against Uranus.
Of course, I wasn’t looking for a reward.
But Leo was different.
‘this… The atmosphere is going strangely.’
When Verdict’s final blow didn’t work, he thought his real life was in danger, but Uranus came to his senses.
Things weren’t bad.
Leo looked up and said.
“Hmm. Then can you give me the treasure of the giants?”
[The treasure of our clan?]
Uranus was startled, but then nodded.
[yes. Now I don’t need any more. The one who can cross the sky. If it’s useful to you, I think the treasure will suit you better.]
“You’ve been saying that to me since before. What does it mean to look across the sky?”
[It’s literally. It’s heaven and earth.]
“… … ?”
Leo tilted his head.
what the hell is that
However, Uranus gave no further answer.
He opened his mouth and then spat out something.
[Take it. It is a treasure our family has cherished for a long time.]
Treasure of the Giants.
It was a crown with seven jewels.
[It is a divine object that successive giant chieftains have instilled power little by little.]
A mark that symbolizes the patriarch of the giants from generation to generation.
But what was important to Leo was not the crown, but the jewels in it.
When these are post-processed by a skilled alchemist, they can create elixirs with ridiculous effects.
A characteristic that a person is born with by nature.
Because you can get rid of the detrimental of those traits that you would normally never change.
