Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 116

116 – Embers and Scorching

A space full of magic and shadows.

I silently walk the path in the middle.

It’s been a long time since the sea, which was formed by layer upon layer of shadow beasts, was split in half.

There was no shadow to hinder my advance.

Most of them were hesitant to attack, and if they did, they were immediately annihilated. In the end, it will be safe to say that there is none.

“….”

A witch stares blankly at me from far away.

It is clearly visible here as well. The corners of her mouth, which had risen upward, had already regained their original height.

“Hera.”

He chanted two words again.

The spirit of the night hardens into the shape of a bow in my hand. The echo of magical power that is formed in the form of an arrow.

You don’t even have to hold them with your hands.

I just lifted them up using my telekinesis and finished my aim without an inch of error.

The witch immediately tried to protect herself. A veil of shadows wrapped around her over and over again, resembling a worm’s cocoon.

However.

I can see their weaknesses so clearly.

“To survive against Mine.”

I said to the three wizards who were standing and watching.

“You also need to have a wizard’s vision.”

I overlaid mana on their retinas to make them share vision with me. Then, the weakness of the shadow curtain is clearly revealed as a blue dot.

“The flow of Magi is irregular, and there is definitely a part that can be called a weakness.”

The three wizards looked at me and the witch in the distance with their eyes wide open as if this was strange.

I put a magic arrow into the weak point of the veil.

Kwadeuk—!

Arrows embedded in the shadow curtain spill my magic into the surroundings. The sword unique to demons weakens demonic energy.

Right after that, the black shadow curtain faded to the point where it looked translucent. I aim the arrow once again.

And the launch.

The blue arrow draws a straight line and extends. The weakened shadow curtain could not protect its owner’s body.

“… Ugh!”

With a soggy sound of skin and flesh being pierced, the witch’s right arm jumped into the air.

She opened her eyes.

What was on that expression was shock rather than pain. The witch stumbled and leaned her body against the wall.

The moment I made another arrow.

Kung—!

Something fell from above and blocked my path. At the same time, black energy spreads in all directions.

It was already a being that could not be called a human being. Both eyes were pitch black, and the aura they exuded was demonic, so no matter how you looked at it, it was a demon.

Only the sword in her hand holds her past.

Ella of the four siblings of the Faculty of Knights. She was her

I advised quietly.

“Get out of the way.”

But she didn’t listen to my advice. He exudes a blade-like life and just asks one thing back.

“Flan, you must remember me.”

I didn’t bother to answer.

Not only did she not wonder what had happened to her, but she didn’t feel any emotions when she faced the appearance of being turned into a demon.

But Ella seemed enraged by it.

“… Answer me.”

Ella let out a black aura as she muttered lowly.

Her black evil swords were entangled in the air several times. Soon it takes the shape of her grasp and rushes at me.

Fast and sophisticated.

It seemed to stretch to her left side, but then appeared from the right side.

In the indiscriminately extending black grip, there was never a blind spot anywhere.

However, regularity existed. I read the rules while calmly deflecting the attack.

After bouncing off exactly ten times, I asked.

“Is this the best?”

Are you trying to block me just this much, or is this the only option to attack?

There must be a huge difference between the two.

“….”

Ella was also silent as if she knew that.

“Huh-“

She took a deep breath and raised her demonic energy, and behind Ella’s back, the black grip formed a symmetrical shape and called for repairs.

Those who were bare-handed soon grabbed swords forged in the shadows one by one. Their shapes were different.

Ella kicked her ground and lunged at me. At the same time, I envisioned four magics.

Exactly!

It is expressed by flicking your fingers.

The four elements of water, wind, earth, and fire emerged, occupying four directions one by one: east, west, south, and north.

The moment when Ella, approaching my neck, was about to cut my throat with her shadow sword.

The elements were mixed and exploded. The floodwaters of the wind and rain tear apart the space and stretch forward.

Puff—!

The white light pierced Ella’s abdominal cavity with ease. It is a natural result, since demons and elements are at odds with each other.

Ella’s eyes opened wide in an instant, and I peered into her dark eyes from within breath’s reach.

We were both staring at each other, but we were in very different situations.

“You…. Is…. Why…. Identity….”

Ella muttered briefly as she coughed up black blood.

I looked at my reflection in her dark eyes. There was me, no different than usual.

I quietly put my hand on her head.

“I definitely told you back then.”

And then he carelessly moved her aside.

“A wizard.”

After confirming that Ella’s body was falling like fallen leaves, I moved her steps toward the witch again.

The distance that was far away is now quite close.

Walked and walked, finally standing in front of her cocoon containing the witch, and mentally tearing it apart.

I saw the witch trembling, holding a jewel the size of her palm desperately in her hand.

“… !”

She didn’t say anything.

However, I could clearly feel her heart beating through the demons around me.

I stole the jewels by telekinesis.

From noble mtl dot com

“Is this something that contains the power of ancient runes?”

Indeed, as expected, it was a power source with tremendous magical power. For a brief moment, I thought of various uses for this.

Maybe we can build a new mage tower.

“Oh no….”

The witch lost her composure when the object was taken. I aimed an arrow in the air at her forehead.

“Save, save, save….”

“Do not be afraid.”

I answered calmly. No matter what she says, I won’t save her.

“Because it won’t be painful.”

“This jewel is unfinished. Me, how about keeping me alive? I’ll complete it! I’ll finish it and give it to you… !”

Although detailed explanations continued, the arrows were shot so easily and quickly.

Fuuk—!

A hole formed between the witch’s eyebrows.

The arrogant Mine quietly disappeared without a trace. My attention soon turned to jewelry.

This power source is dormant with unbelievable power.

“… It is incomplete.”

It didn’t seem like that was a lie. The jewel seemed to store the body with its own power, and there was a part that was considered to be a little unfinished.

I looked around.

There were still a lot of individual shadow demons left. In other words, there are plenty of things that could be turned into corpses.

‘Magi is particularly weak against fire.’

I soon came up with a way to complete the jewelry.

◈

“….”

Janet closed her eyes for a moment.

I opened my eyes again.

The flow of space was completely reversed. One name suffices to explain this bizarre phenomenon.

Plan. He changed

Ella and the witch’s energy all disappeared. Despite the fact that there are still many remaining shadow demons, I don’t feel a sense of crisis anymore.

In other words, the flow of space is reversed.

He began to cast magic in the air. Dozens of blue strokes are drawn in the air.

Those with eyes just looked at it, not even expecting what it would bring.

Plan’s hand moves alone in a still space.

His jewelry transmits light in iridescent colors. He walked through the air as if he were dancing and interacted with Plan.

Finally.

A total of eight completed magic circles.

Plan placed them in different directions.

“Ha….”

Janet looked at the magic circle and burst out laughing. It was just pure admiration, not mixed with ridicule in the slightest.

Her unique ability ‘weakness’.

Invisible.

There is no element of weakness in Plan’s magic circle.

The magic of space and the plan’s magic circle began to resonate with each other. The moment he quietly stretched out his hand.

Everything you can see has completely changed.

“… !”

The eyes of the three wizards, including the cadets, widened.

Wheat fields rustle on the ground, and intense starlight boils above the sky. In the landscape of a secluded village, several windmills were quietly running.

The scene that made my body tremble so cold.

… Everything was drawn in flames right in front of my eyes.

“Janet.”

Bastian’s blank voice came from the side.

Janet feels awkward at Bastian’s bewildered expression with a face full of scars.

Janet slowly turned to where his fingertips were pointing.

The shadows became part of this burning canvas. Even the image of him twisting his body as he fades into a handful of ashes can only be seen as a dance of joy because there is an artistic landscape behind him.

That’s great.

It is definitely a great thing to burn all the shadow demons in this place with one magic.

But it’s not impossible.

Even so.

“It makes no sense. This is impossible.”

Janet couldn’t help but mutter.

She grew up with a strong desire for chivalry.

For Janet, that was her idol and her compass. That, of course, is Scarlett, the Knight of the Embers.

There were many difficult moments while honing her talents, and she experienced a few setbacks when she was young, but she never doubted her path, thinking of Scarlett.

In other words, I know ‘Janbul’ all too well.

Wheat fields, shimmering stars, a quiet village with windmills….

How ecstatic and beautiful is the canvas that depicts all these things in flames.

In that dream-like scene, Janet felt a ‘remnant of fire’.

Scarlett’s ‘remnant fire’, not anyone else’s.

“….”

Janet quietly closed her eyes.

She tried to force her own brain to shut down to think that maybe she could be sharper than the embers.

Then.

“Hey, Janet.”

Bastian called her with a trembling voice. He was breaking out in a cold sweat, but it could not have been the heat of the flames.

In the first place, Plan’s flame burned only shadows.

Bastian takes a deep breath and continues.

“This, no matter how you look at it….”

“Stop.”

Janet covered Bastian’s mouth as she even aimed her sword at Bastian’s throat.

I had to stop it.

I thought I knew what Bastian was trying to say, and it was something that should never have been said.

“… Any more than that, never say anything.”

Janet hurriedly looked to his side. The faces of the Tianchuk cadets who followed her and turned her heads were also shocked one after another.

The Knight of Remnants of Fire arrived before I knew it.

The compass and faith of many knight cadets.

A strong candidate for the sword star.

Scarlet Judith.

There was obvious embarrassment on her face.

… Her hand holding the sword was clearly shaking.

◈

Meanwhile, in the common meeting room of Merchen Academy.

As soon as the belatedly arriving imperial family captured the flan’s magic, the few words exchanged among the people disappeared like a mirage.

Filling the recording paper is only flames that can be called art. No other observations were necessary.

“….”

The head of the Judith family who watched over the second princess by her side. Theodore Judith came to her senses after a while and left the conference room without a sound.

One second.

Ten seconds.

Sixty seconds.

Pensive in front of the closed conference room door, he agonized over something.

“Janbul.”

Having muttered that, he immediately withdrew his words.

“No.”

I had to withdraw. For what he had just seen was by no means a lingering fire.

I could tell for sure. I was also convinced.

That spark.

“Scorching.”

It was undoubtedly scorching.
