“Hey, now… … .”
“What did you say… … ?”
The imperial soldiers and adventurers’ eyes were focused on them. Baffled gossip spreads throughout the ranks.
“You said you were testing the sorcery… … !”
If an ordinary boy had said the same thing, everyone would have laughed. But the opponent in front of me right now… … .
‘Let’s not use Bell Sidious or Bell Curious unless it’s really dangerous. The same goes for the image barrier and the chain of sutra.’
He competes with the skills and dignity he has accumulated during his youth. I will only use as much mana as Rin had.
“You arrogant bastard, do you know what kind of absurd remarks he has made to someone?”
Willis Keppel, the commander of the Imperial Army Special Forces, tried to jump out with his eyes wide open, but Sagan raised his hand to stop him.
“One spirit is great.”
Sagan Wolf Vlado narrowed his eyes as if the boy’s provocation was not the same.
I don’t know what type of wizard you are… … Was there a school that used magic to forge weapons with fire?
If close combat is your specialty, it’s enough to search one by one without getting close. Wasn’t the adventurer’s life itself a fight against the unknown in the first place?
“Even though I chose the wrong opponent to show off.”
There was a heavy, suffocating silence. The moment Aki stretched out her hand toward Lane, whose tears were welling up.
“───!”
A tail of light weaved over Sagan’s palm and began to tangle and dance.
Huh, Lane raised her eyebrows.
The shape of the magic square is a three-fold octagon, on (蘊; stacking), ro (擄; captivating), and turning (轉; rotating)… … Is this magic a railway battle?
It was a bloody technique to surround the opponent with countless pieces of iron as if capturing them, then tore apart the flesh with saw blades rotating fiercely in the gap.
“It’s a bit disappointing if the beginning is a railroad battle… … .”
That thought didn’t even last a second. Because of some kind of goosebumps that came over the skull.
what is this… … ?
different, something different
In the railroad war I know, the saw blades don’t even fly this way first. And the metal balls didn’t even rise from the direction the target avoided.
“I misread the runes?!”
Saw blades that flew in, ripping through skin and fur clothes with sharp tracks, joined to the metal that surrounded me before I knew it.
“Did you think it was an ordinary railroad battle?”
I opened Bell Sidious for a moment to take a quick look at the magic scheme as the wall of steel, with saw blades spinning madly, approached me from all sides.
– What do you mean? Depending on which formula you solve, the magic makes a small but big difference in the visual result.
Memories of the final exam’s senior decision came to mind. Have you heard that the visual result differs depending on how the mathematical expression is solved?
That’s not all, but you can change the order of magic at all?
Originally, the formula for calculating the final coordinates of the railway line was the ‘complement of permutations’, but it seemed that one solution method was twisted into three formulas using the ‘lexicographical sequence method’ on purpose.
“Railway warfare, a time-honored battle magic in the north. It’s a magic that everyone knows how to deal with, but if you modify it to suit the situation, it’s not a problem.”
At Sagan’s explanation, even the reincarnation of Archmage Rin couldn’t help but admire.
It’s explained casually, but it’s impossible without absolute skill to perfectly modify and control all magic.
“By the way, hmm——?!”
The moment the four iron walls of the rotating saw blades overlapped, that guy’s flesh should have been torn and crushed… … .
Instantly, a flash of lethal temperature seemed to flow through the cracks in the steel, and red-hot flames exploded with a roar.
All the steel built with three-star magic melted into yellowish rust, and an intense hot wind blew away all the moisture in the air.
“So what next? Isn’t that all there is?”
At that moment when everyone blinked their eyes in amazement, Sagan’s mouth twitched.
‘You blocked my magic?’
Is it just a fluke?
No, was there anyone who recently managed to block my magic with some fluke? At that moment, streaks of light began to weave over the boy’s palm.
I wonder if it would be a battle of pride? The magic square the boy built and the runes he engraved were all the same railroad battles as those used by Sagan.
however… … It was different.
The form and principle of activation were the same as the general railway battle, but something crucial was different. The magic attribute was fire, not steel.
“what… … A fire attribute railroad battle?!”
“Mr. Sagan!”
In an instant, the wall of flames soared as if to surround Sagan, and the saw blades of countless flames rotating in the gap would have burned his entire body into a lump of charcoal.
If it hadn’t been for the 3.5-star-powered ice wall that sprang up in an instant and surged up like Sagan wrapped around it.
Lane couldn’t help but let out an innocent laugh.
‘Did he activate the magic differently this time?’
Originally, it was just a magic to build an ice wall, but to turn the surrounding objects into an ice wall… … Thanks to that, the activation speed is several times faster.
Pushyyyy… … Sagan walked out of the steam of the extinguishing fire that was so thick that he couldn’t stop.
The corner of his mouth was slightly raised so that no one else could see it.
‘The shape of the magic square was obviously an octagon, that is, steel, but did it change its properties along the way? Interesting, what the hell did you do?’
You just have to get to know it slowly from now on.
If I generously pour out the magic I’ve been researching and preparing for my entire life, that guy will also tell me the answer.
That’s right, with magic.
“… … Isn’t that how we mages communicate?”
The moment after the smiles invisible to each other and invisible to others crossed each other in the air.
“… … !”
“… … !”
When the melodies of light woven gracefully from the palms of both sides, the miracles that changed the providence burned the sky and razed the ground.
“The magic square to build is a double circle and a triangle, and the runes to be carved are Zhao, Rong, and On.”
When the magic square shattered on the boy’s palm, fire poured from the sky like a shower.
“The magic square to build is a single-layered octagon and a double-layered pentagon, and the inscribed runes are Yu(蹂), Jung(蚛), and Seong(晟).”
When the magic square shattered in the heroine’s palm, steel, poison, ice, and electricity danced in a carnage dance.
Among the first-class, only those who have reached the pinnacle can be seen, an infighting battle of Jorchen-type mages.
The haunting spectacle gave the audience a breathless thrill that not even the famous magic festivals dared to give.
“what? Why do these two struggling to the death seem to be enjoying themselves in my eyes?”
In the midst of the explosion of magic clash, Prince Raida Eijin muttered incomprehensibly, and Leoren, the courtier, replied.
“It is said that masters who reach the pinnacle of one-star seven swords will be able to talk with their swords.”
“A story with a sword?”
“Everything goes through with just one sword. What does this mean? Just by looking at the swordsmanship the other person shows, you can find out how much time the other person has built up for it, how they have been training, and what kind of zeal they have been studying.”
“I’m not kidding… … How is that possible?”
“Right now, the two of them are seeing that in each other. Your Highness will find out the day you become an expert in a certain field.”
In fact, the two were seeing an illusion that neither existed nor could exist.
The fantasy of sitting face-to-face in front of a desk, showing each other the magic squares that each other has studied and exploring, explaining their strengths and weaknesses, and giving and receiving feedback.
This was the reason why his juniors lamented that he was too talkative after Lane entered ＜Deleiten＞. Wizards have their own way of talking.
“It’s amazing how they only use fire-attribute magic. No, it seems like they just use all their magic with the fire attribute?”
In response to Isaka, the commander of the Special Forces unit, Captain Willis Keppel narrowed his eyes in response.
“The strength of fire attribute magic is commonly known as ‘splendor’, but to be precise, it can be called ‘strength’.”
“yes. It looks gorgeous because it is so powerful, in short, ‘simple strength’ is the biggest characteristic of fire magic.”
However, there were definitely disadvantages as well, as if it was the price of power, as strong as it was, the amount of magical power consumed was more ignorant than any other attribute.
“That’s why fire magicians are called premature ejaculation in vulgar terms because of their flaws.”
“that’s right. It’s because even the slightest mistake in distributing the mana will cause the mana to run out in an instant.”
“But what the hell is it? That guy has already used 3rd and 4th grade magic over 15 times, how is he still so active?”
i wonder too Unless you have infinite magical power, how on earth… … ?
He only chooses and uses powerful magic, but since it is activated with the fire attribute, it must be a terrible opponent for the opponent.
If it had been me, not Sagan-sama, standing over there right now, this battle would already be… … .
‘I’m a sorcerer who uses all magic as a fire attribute.’
That question, of course, was also in Sagan’s mind, but it was more of a joyous question than a bewilderment.
It’s been a while since I’ve poured all my magic into a battlefield where the other side counterattacks as if it were natural.
‘Can you stop this too? So what about this? How about this again? Another one?’
Sagan’s eyes lit up as he flew countless ice picks that glistened blue under the heat of the sun.
“Don’t fall down already. It’s just the beginning!”
Long forgotten… … That’s why I feel the sensation I’ve been looking for for a long time wriggling in my heart.
The thrill of the magic battle that I had never felt since becoming a sorcerer.
Did he want a life that was unconditionally worshiped by someone? Did someone really want a life on their knees without a fight?
‘No, I’ve never wanted a life like that.’
You wanted this life. He became a peak to fight the peaks, but the peaks were never the goal.
The pleasure of colliding research that cuts one’s own life with the research that melts the lives of others, and the synergistic effect of colliding the cutting edge of that knowledge.
Because in such a fight, new perceptions open up and new horizons of magic open up.
“Hmm, they say monsters give birth to monsters… … That monstrous old Skalzi has unleashed a monster worse than himself into the world.”
Leoren, the palace guard who watched the battle of the pinnacles, smiled.
I guess I’m the only one who noticed the identity… … Of course, I knew half of it thanks to Serwebon.
But it’s strange. I heard that he died during the sunspot avalanche, but how?
‘Should I dry it? But if I stop fighting now and talk about it, who will listen?’
Even His Highness, Prince Raida, can’t take his eyes off me right now.
In that tightrope fight that only those who have reached the pinnacle can show off, one wrong step and everything ends.
“Ah, a-ba, aw, a-baat!”
“Abba, abba, abba, abba.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.”
Even Cassena, who was trying to soothe the crying Aki, couldn’t take her eyes off the scene.
‘That’s the limit of magic… … .’
Even though it is so close, wide-area magic that can kill dozens of people is rampant, but it does not cause any damage to itself.
It is proof of the two people’s formidable magic control ability.
And above all, Rain was making an expression Cassena didn’t know. That expression that seems to be so happy that it doesn’t know what to do… … .
‘At school, he usually just looked bored.’
Of course it had to be. Because all the wizards his age were several points below him.
But the wizard in front of me right now… … The strongest battle mage of the current generation.
He bit his lip with a slight resentment. If your magic skills are outstanding, you can make Rain look like that… … .
‘The 300-year history of magic’s development since my death is all embodied in the magic of this magical castle.’
The boy was amazed. Ideas that were unthinkable in Rin’s time, the use of mathematical formulas, the combination of runes… … .
“Awesome, really great.”
So the boy laughed.
If Shar’kath was simply the type to press down with overwhelming force… … Sorcery is a skill group that perfectly integrates the essence of modern magic and uses it harmoniously.
At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before you reach the ranks of Aquizard (5 stars), right?
From noble mtl dot com
‘Now, the only magic attribute I can use here is flame… … .’
I can’t use the irregularity that comes from colorfully harmonizing magic of various attributes, but I have an absolute superiority in power competition.
‘I can’t say there’s no risk, but I’ll rule it out perfectly. everything in this flame. Just like Arakish used to.’
Amidst the fierce battle, adventurers and soldiers whispering in disbelief.
“Sorcery and Hogak?”
“What the hell is that guy doing?”
“Isn’t the magician watching over you?”
Leoren’s eyes narrowed as he watched the fight with interest in the same way.
‘Certainly, though general combat magic seems to be the same.’
Sagan hasn’t really pulled out his powers yet. The power that made him reign over the heads of all battle mages.
‘Blindness of the Vlado family.’
Then, suddenly, a blade came out of Sagan’s ring and the moment Lane caught sight of it digging deep into the palm of his hand, a terrifying thrill ran through his mind.
“It’s been 9 years. For me to use kinship limits against mages.”
