Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 136

136 – … Research materials are increasing in real time

The aura of black magic is getting thicker and thicker.

Court wizard Laura.

At the time of her verification at the imperial palace, she challenged my mage tower design, but she was nicely refuted.

It was quite palpable that she put a lot of thought into establishing the new ballroom, as if she would be completely loyal to the princess’s command.

For example, it is so from the point that it has a whopping three-story structure. Needless to say, there are many people currently isolated inside the ballroom.

First, I looked at the barrier.

With time, you can figure out the principle, but it wasn’t a very good option as the poison continued to spread through people’s bodies.

Therefore, I only culled a few facts first.

“… You are bold.”

The density of the barrier is considerable.

Maintaining this level of field density from a long distance is close to impossible. In other words, it also meant that the caster remained openly on the scene.

The master of black magic, the blood ghost, is here.

“….”

Then, a purple fog slowly began to spread inside the ballroom. The aura so thick that it stings the eyes, this fog is also poisonous.

Origin is upstairs.

“You must never leave the first floor.”

After taking basic measures to prevent the poison from spreading to all of them, I moved to the second floor.

The result of walking through the increasingly dense purple fog, relying solely on intuition.

“Everyone, please calm down. It will be just fine.”

When I reached the second floor, I heard a voice.

I manifested the wind element and temporarily cleared the purple fog. Then, the appearance of people huddled together is put into the field of vision.

“Less, less…. First of all, how many people have been confirmed? I wish I could go to the third floor….”

A very short schoolgirl was diligently writing something down on her notepad.

Then, as if she felt someone’s presence, her head, which was facing her memo, turned toward me.

“Huh? Is it a flan?”

I didn’t recognize her at all, but she did recognize me as if she were seeing someone she was happy with.

“Thank God! Junior, as you can see with your own eyes now, the situation is very bad. But for sure, meeting you like this is very reassuring.”

She belatedly points to the name tag near her chest.

“Oh, I am Emily. The 2nd year president of the Faculty of Magic. Not a suspicious person I’m afraid you’ll mistake me for a blood ghost.”

I looked at her quietly.

His slanted, asymmetrical bobbed hair is brown, and he is wearing an armband with the word “Chairman” Written on his shoulder.

Memo pads are full of people’s names. It seems that Emily has been making a list of people whose identity has been secured all along.

“Huh? It’s flan!”

Then someone else noticed me and shouted loudly. The call spreads around one by one.

“Flan? A flan?”

“Save me!”

“I’m starting to get short of breath… ! Let me breathe!”

The voices of those who risk their lives mix and become dissonant. It kept hitting the planting.

From noble mtl dot com

“Stop.”

The noisy, mixed voices die down at once.

I also looked closely at them.

Students, students, students…. Strangely, only students

“Blood Demons…. It’s a shame, and it’s very cleverly targeting the gap where there are no professors or court mages. It’s a situation where there aren’t even knights.”

Emily opened her mouth with a look and voice that seemed to be very worried.

I nodded quietly.

Blood demons are not fools either, so of course they must have used their own strategy to realize their plan.

“It’s a poison that can be activated the moment you want it, so it wouldn’t have been easy to detect it in advance.”

“Somehow. It’s a big deal anyway. At least those who can use magic or unique abilities are working hard, but I don’t know how much longer they can hold out.”

Looking at it now, Emily’s complexion wasn’t very good either.

Even though he is short of breath and cold sweat runs down his forehead, he pretends to be fine. The ‘Chairman’ written on the armband suits him quite well.

She nervously knocks on the trivia.

“Even Trivia is completely dead here. At best, I gave it to all attendees of the Advent Festival….”

“I will extend the time.”

I also used basic healing magic on the people gathered. If you don’t do it, the spread of poison in the body will be delayed to some extent.

Afterwards, I asked Emily further.

“This may not be all of the number of people inside.”

“Right. Junior, this is just the number of people on the second floor.”

She shakes her head with a serious expression. She simultaneously shows me her own note.

“Actually, the reason for making the list was to see if famous investors would survive?”

“But.”

“No. It’s really strange that it’s just students. It seems like all the investors are on the 3rd floor, but I can’t even dare to go upstairs.”

The decision was made quickly.

“You all go down to the first floor.”

“Move? But junior, even if you go down to the first floor, it’s useless if the barrier isn’t lifted.”

“I will release it.”

That’s all for conversation.

I headed to the third floor.

◈

On the third floor, an incomparably thick purple fog was waiting for me.

The fog that used to cover my ankles is now covering my vision. The poison it contains is also much stronger.

─I gave it to all attendees of the advent festival….

Suddenly, Emily’s words came to mind, and I pulled the trivia from her bosom.

Even if Trivia is currently dead inside the barrier, there are still ways to use it.

After floating it in the air, I placed my palm over the cover and concentrated on my thoughts.

“….”

Originally, if the magic tower played a pivotal role in sending mana to Trivia, my body temporarily plays that role.

I pictured the location of things with the same [Circuit] As my trivia, and soon after, I confirmed the location of everyone on the 3rd floor.

On the third floor, people were all gathered in one place.

Using the senses in my head, I quickly moved to where they were.

Exactly!

The moment you snapped your fingers and unfolded the wind element.

As the field of view widens, you can see the blue barrier and the people inside it. At the same time, they started recognizing me.

“Uh… ? Flan?”

“Did you come to save me?”

“Has the barrier been canceled?”

They were holding on very systematically. The proof is that he opened another barrier inside the barrier and endured even on the 3rd floor, where the poison was so strong.

Probably the one who opened this barrier. A wizard wearing the imperial seal asked me.

“How did it go? Has the barrier on the first floor been lifted?”

“Not yet. It’s not impossible to figure out the principles and unlock them one by one, but it’s definitely not a good option.”

It is possible to understand the principle and dismantle it.

However, this takes a long time. The blue barrier wouldn’t last that long.

The Imperial Wizard got close to me.

“We need to find a countermeasure right away. Currently, the people I protect on the 3rd floor are all famous….”

“Quiet.”

I raised one hand.

“There is a way, so wait.”

Everyone stopped moving, and I looked around to see those who were protected by the blue barrier. From their condition to their clothes, I checked them closely.

“How… ?”

“As expected, I have no choice but to cut off the breath of the caster.”

Since it has been confirmed that the density of the barrier is abnormally high, the caster must remain here openly.

“….”

Also, I’m curious.

Why did a mage from the royal family bother to protect other investors for the Faculty of Magic? Why was there not a single investor on the second floor?

I slowly closed and opened my eyes.

Looking at the blue barrier again, it looks like a trap.

Exactly!

I snapped my fingers. Inspired by Maiev’s dark magic. “Stuffed animal” Was expressed.

A stuffed animal imprisons the royal mage.

“Hey!”

Someone urgently shouted.

“That is the escort mage for Treasurer Rayleigh. What are you doing now!”

Everyone’s eyes are on one person. It was an elderly man who had a one-night stand at Judith’s mansion.

‘Was he the treasurer of the imperial family?’

Rayleigh opened her mouth.

“Sure. She is the royal mage who has escorted me until now. She wants you to break the spell.”

“Hmm.”

But I only kept a slight sneer on me.

The camouflage method is different from Maiev.

It is said that blood ghosts act beyond expectations. It didn’t seem like a lie. But she didn’t really stray too far.

I calmly opened my mouth.

“Humans have mana in their bodies, and because of that, they show unique resistance when magic touches them. It’s an instinctive defense mechanism, so it’s not something you can control.”

Ddududuk….

The frame that imprisoned the royal mage breaks of its own accord.

I mentally picked up the fragmented picture frame. A red aura permeated through the cracks in the tree.

I stared at her as she came out on her own.

“Your defense mechanism is not mana, but vitality. A mere blood demon dares to impersonate a human.”

The others looked at the imperial mage with their eyes wide open. Even the party was a little surprised.

“….”

The Imperial Wizard let out an ominous laugh.

Then he cut her own neck with his nails. Then, her original appearance disappears without a trace.

What appeared was a bloody ghost girl wearing a black dress and hugging a cursed doll tightly.

“I was completely fooled~ How did you use taxidermy? For a second, you thought Maiev was here and got confused.”

The corner of the girl’s mouth was raised, but her eyes were full of contempt for humans.

“And you know what?”

The cursed doll of the blood ghost is full of miasma.

“Imitating black magic with human magic. I will never tolerate behavior like that.”

Coo-goo-goo-

Purple energy covers the girl’s body.

“First of all, I’ll break all ten of her cheeky fingers, let’s discuss her negotiations later?”

A great aura rose in dark red, but I didn’t have the heart to check the result of that black magic.

Concentrate.

The surroundings begin to be seen through the wizard’s field of view, and the air currents are revealed in the form of clear lines.

You don’t need a lot of time to calculate.

I simply stuffed her entire ‘appearance process’.

“Yes… ?”

On the white drawing paper inside the frame, there is a black magic spell that the girl Bloodgwi tried to manifest.

No understanding is required for this process.

If you can simply embrace the opponent’s with more mana capacity, it is possible to stuff it for now.

“What is it? What did you do?”

The blood ghost once again manifested black magic.

The ceremony was neatly framed.

“It’s different from Maiev… ? Hey, what are you?”

“….”

One, two, three.

Stuffed spells are increasing.

I couldn’t help but smile.

… Research data was growing in real time.
