Leo’s eyes widened slightly.
‘Why is that guy here… .’
Nell, a transcendent person belonging to the heavenly world.
Even Leo, who was a late figure in this game, had never heard of such an NPC.
It was only a short encounter while meeting the great king of Karst, but he was clearly aware of her strength.
– Damn it!
The bewilderment was short-lived.
Leo’s ice rose around Nell.
“Aren’t you even going to say hello?”
Nell shook his head as he looked at the ice that covered his surroundings.
Then her voice came from behind.
“That is unfair!”
“… … .”
Leo quickly turned over and poured his mana into her seat again.
But again, she appeared elsewhere.
Isn’t it using space movement at random like a ghost!
‘It’s a monster.’
Vivian can also move through space, but can’t use it to that extent during battle.
Space itself is a tricky element to deal with, but it was strange to use it more naturally than to breathe.
‘but. That’s enough to be called a transcendent.’
Leo widened his eyes.
Concentrating his mind, he spread the magic stored in his body for an instant.
[Extreme Ice – Absolute Zero]
Leo’s ice occupied the space.
“uh… !?”
Nell was the first to speak out in embarrassment.
“Isn’t this the ice tank’s ability?”
A terrible ability that freezes the mana of the body and space and makes it impossible to do anything.
Regardless of whether it’s a knight or a wizard, anyone who handles mana will get away with it.
In particular, as a result of the test on Vivian, it was even more incompatible with those who had the ability to handle space.
but.
“Eight!”
When Nell waved his hands, Leo’s mana that occupied the space bounced off.
‘I can’t either… .’
Leo bit his lower lip.
The difference in skill between Nell and himself was too great.
There was no way you could apply magic freeze to a mage who was presumed to be 8th or higher.
“That is great. The ice tank showed it as if it were to watch and learn, but to really learn it. you are really talented… .”
– Damn it!
Before Nell could finish his words, ice flowers bloomed all around her.
It was an extreme cold that would freeze even the lungs if you smelled it up close.
[Extreme Ice – Cryogenic Beam]
At the same time, a beam of ice shot from Leo’s hand.
Nell escaped through space again, but the cryogenic beam swept through it once more.
-Quaaa!
The whole room was covered with ice.
“Oh Mr. Calm down and listen to me? Why are you attacking first and foremost!”
However, on top of that ice sheet, Nell landed lightly.
There were no signs of injury anywhere on her body.
“Do you think we have a conversation to have?”
“Why not?”
“At least I don’t have the hobby of talking to someone who blew me away by teleportation.”
“What is it about? Didn’t you come home comfortably thanks to me?”
“… … .”
Having said that, I had nothing to say.
In fact, from the Empire to the Kingdom, no matter how much you use the space movement gate, you had to ride a carriage for quite a while.
The wagons of this era do not offer the comfort of the modern independent brands.
My butt hurts, my back hurts… .
If you flew me this far so I wouldn’t have to go through that, it was right that I should be thankful.
“Eh. yes, what you might resent me I will understand.”
Nell shook her head.
“Anyway, I’m not here to fight. So listen.”
Having said that, Leo slightly lowered his hand.
Of course, I didn’t let go of the alarm so that I could go out again at any time.
However, if she had come to fight, he would have been subdued long ago, so he decided it wouldn’t be bad to listen to her story.
“… yes. What did you come for?”
“Do you know that Verdict Liont?”
“!”
Leo almost couldn’t control his expression for a moment.
Thunderbolt mage, Lord Verdict.
Could it be that you don’t know him?
I was thinking of visiting sooner or later.
However, soon Nell shook his head.
“Ugh. maybe you don’t know That man is over 90 years old. You may not have even heard the name because you are from a very different generation.”
“… Why are you bringing up that person?”
“I need some help from you.”
“?”
help? what help?
“It’s too long to explain in words. Let’s go ahead and talk.”
In an instant, Nell space-shifted in front of Leo and put his hand on his shoulder.
And then I climbed over the space again.
-hook!
In an instant, the two disappeared from the castle.
* * *
When I closed my eyes and opened them, the scenery I saw changed.
He must have been in the capital until just now, but the sight reflected in his retina was a desert covered with sand.
“Here… .”
“It’s the western desert of the continent.”
A desert area that appears when you head west from the Roman Kingdom.
A little further from here comes the outback where the rulers of the west are.
“Follow.”
After saying that, Nel went ahead.
A large rocky mountain in the middle of the desert.
Beneath it, in the shade, was a crudely built house.
It’s a desolate place with nothing around, but there were people living there.
Leo seemed to know who the owner of this house was.
“This is where Verdict Lyant stays.”
– Kik.
Nell opened the door and pointed inside.
“… … !”
Leo almost ran out of excitement without realizing it.
‘Lord Verdict… !’
Verdict, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, was lying on the bed as if he were dead.
His complexion didn’t look bad, but he couldn’t even wake up when people entered his house.
“… What happened?”
“This old man reached the 7th rank a while ago.”
Leo clenched his fists.
‘You’ve managed to do it.’
It was Verdict who decided to shake off all his resentment and wander the wilderness to see the extreme of magic.
It seems that he eventually overcame his limitations.
“by the way… Why is a 7th class mage lying like that?”
“Because my body can’t keep up with the state.”
Nell shrugged.
“Although he looks quite old from the outside, this human is over 90 years old. To be honest, I’ve lived a long time even for a human. I’m also an age where it won’t be strange if I die anytime.”
No matter how mana is handled, the background of this world is a medieval fantasy.
Even if you are over seventy years old, you are evaluated as having lived a long time.
In the first place, even in Korean society where medicine was extremely developed, it was difficult to find people over ninety.
Verdict lived a very long life in this world.
“Is that so? While awakening, I moved to a higher level, but my body couldn’t keep up with it. It means that only the mind has awakened.”
Nel tapped her head.
“… Then what will happen?”
“What’s going on? After lying down like this, you can’t get any nutrition at all and you die.”
that’s troublesome
The end of Verdict that Leo wanted was not such a trivial one.
“therefore.”
Then Nell spoke up.
“I called you to prevent that. Verdict is a talent we need to keep an eye on. So I want to treat it, but I need your help.”
“My help? Wouldn’t it be better to visit the priest of the temple?”
“If it was something a priest could heal, he would have done it a long time ago. We need the power of your attributes. ＜The Eye That Sees Mana＞ and ＜God of Spell Interpretation＞. Two of them can fix this imbalance right now.”
“… … !”
Leo involuntarily took a few steps back.
How can you talk about your own characteristics that no one should know about?
“What are you so surprised about? We know who you are, but isn’t it natural to know what powers you have?”
“… Did you guys call me here too?”
“That I cannot tell you. You’ll find out later when the time comes. Anyways, do you know the reason? So hurry up and help me heal.”
Leo shook his head.
“hate.”
In my heart, I wanted to fix Verdict as soon as possible.
If I could wake him up, I would have a 7th class colleague, of course.
Besides, even if it wasn’t for that reason, he had learned magic from Verdict.
It’s not something to treat carelessly.
‘But these guys don’t seem to know my relationship with Verdict.’
If I noticed that Verdict was not feeling well, it would have been that I had been observing him, but he didn’t seem to know about his relationship with Leo.
The observation period does not seem to have been very long.
If so, could I use this?
“I’ll help treat this person, so tell me what I’m curious about. What did you guys do to me, what purpose do you have? things like that.”
Leo looked at Nell with his eyes wide open.
Nell was frowning for the first time since I saw him today.
“no. It’s not in my power.”
“Then there is nothing you can do. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to let this person die a natural death.”
Of course, if you really want to leave it, you have to change your words right away.
Fortunately, Nell didn’t notice Leo’s bluffing.
“Ah sir… I can’t… . He wanted to come alive… .”
Nell bit his lower lip with a troubled expression.
Leo’s eyes lit up.
“Then let’s hear that first. By your standards, the 7th class shouldn’t be a big deal. Why are you trying so hard to save yourself?”
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Just look at the rulers of the west right now.
They are all those who challenged the level of transcendence beyond the level of the 7th class.
However, in the end, he couldn’t jump over the wall and lost his reason.
If Cheon Oe Cheon had helped, he would not have faced such an end.
“Um… .”
Nell looked like he was contemplating whether he should say this or not.
“you… Where can I go and tell anyone about this?”
“Who am I going to tell this to?”
“Sigh… Are you really promising?”
“then.”
Leo nodded confidently, as if telling me to trust him.
“What we don’t have is a mage with lightning properties. That’s why I’ve been watching Verdict Ryant for a while now.”
“Not with us? Are you talking about belonging to a thousand and one thousand?”
“yes.”
“Then what are you going to do by gathering sorcerers by attribute?”
“… … .”
“If you don’t want to answer, let’s ask something else. Why the hell did I fall into this world?”
“… … .”
Nel kept her mouth shut at the series of questions.
Leo picked up and laughed.
“You don’t want treatment?”
“… Sigh.”
Finally, Nell sighed.
“I know what you’re curious about. Do treatment first. I will look at the results and answer your questions.”
“great. OK.”
Leo smiled lightly.
It went according to plan.
I’m not going to change my words later because my name and color have become transcendental.
‘From now on, let’s focus on curing Verdict Ball.’
Leo approached Lord Verdict.
Then he asked.
“ruler. What should I do now?”
