Episode 230: Turning Point (3)

High heat and light come close.

The manager who stood still and watched the meteor displayed the intuition of the King of Darkness. I analyzed the magic in the flow of one second splitting into dozens.

‘It’s a destructive magic consisting only of magical power.’

It does not possess any elemental properties.

However, it was difficult to see it as a kind of magic manipulation like .

The manager raised his eyesight even more.

Then, the gray light that forms the basis of the meteor, something like a constellation, was visible.

In other words, since it is an attribute that does not exist before, it must be magic, and that sphere of magical power must be magic derived from such magic.

‘Maybe he was hiding his power against me.’

An eye engraved with a magic circle.

And even the unknown magic.

The manager twisted his lips.

It’s disgusting yet enjoyable. Who would want to hide their means against the King of Darkness? It’s unfamiliar, so it feels fresh.

Of course, that was just about it.

The manager raised his right arm.

The meteor and the palms met and the space rang. She didn’t care at all and grabbed her hand. The manager’s magical power that penetrates into the meteor in an instant.

As soon as I twisted my wrist, the meteor collapsed as it was torn to pieces.

────!

Flashes and explosions occurred in the process, but nothing reached the administrator.

Even if there is no protective shield, magic consisting only of mana is useless to the King of Darkness, the founder of .

At that moment, Verden, who broke through the light, approached.

It aimed at the regeneration time of the protective film. Dozens of stone fragments created around him poured indiscriminately.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a wizard charging at the King of Darkness.”

Whoa!

Rock fragments were shattered by the shockwave caused by the manager’s magical release. Verden’s magic eye was activated immediately.

The shattered fragments were reconstituted.

They turned into tiny rock thorns and rushed towards the manager again. A magic link made before the blink of an eye.

At some point, Verden was in close proximity to the manager.

The white staff pulsates.

Magic gathered to the point of being terrifying. When the administrator slammed the staff from top to bottom, the aftermath alone destroyed the magic.

Verden also wielded Orient, which concentrated mana. A shockwave overlaid with gravity rushed forward.

Aaaaaang!

Staff collided with each other.

Kagak. Kagagak. The metal screamed and screamed. There was an excruciating pain that felt like my arm would break. It was all about holding on to keep his posture from collapsing, but Verden wasn’t taken aback.

From the time the shield was broken to the present moment.

Because I predicted the actions the administrator would take, and it went as I thought.

Now, there is no wall between the two.

The chaos magic that defeated the black mage, Viola the White Bone.

Dark blue waves emanating from Verden engulfed the manager and the surroundings. The pressure I felt over Orient was gone.

When the light disappeared, Verden was standing where the manager was.

Despite that shock, the scenery of the manager’s office, including the gray throne, did not change at all. Durability beyond comprehension.

Verden turned his gaze to the side.

The distance is about thirty steps. At the same eye level, a white wizard rises.

The manager looked at his left hand.

There were no scratches, but some of the sleeves were scorched. He said with a smirk that seemed absurd.

“Mages who have wanted to influence the world of magic since ancient times have improved their sorcery and created numerous magics that can be used by others as well. That’s how wizards have been able to have a different variety than before according to the passage of time. In that way, the world of magic has developed.”

“… … .”

“However, the magic reminiscent of the falling stars from earlier did not show any signs of improvement, even though it was clearly magic. You obviously couldn’t have pioneered magic.”

It’s like inheriting someone else’s magic.

Even when examining the memory of the King of Darkness, there was no case like this.

“And the last magic has lightning, fire, and gravity attributes overlapped. It is also the power of extracting and combining the characteristics of each magic. It’s impossible with the synthetic magic formula. It looks like it uses some kind of artifact.”

Only once.

As soon as he saw the trump card, the manager saw through the reason. It was incomprehensible magic understanding and insight.

The manager pointed to his eyes.

“Also those eyes. It’s not enough to generate magic from a distance, even omitting the calculation of magic. My body has seen beings with strange eyes, but this is the first time like you.”

weird eyes?

“… … Is there anyone other than me who has eyes like this?”

“As you know, there are many special people in this world, and there are also people with special eyes. But there was no one with eyes that deviated from reason like you. It doesn’t seem to be a peculiar trait, but what is its name?”

“First of all, I named it Mystic Eye.”

“Do not. magic eye. Yes, intuitive and suitable.”

The manager nodded and continued.

“It is a rule of thumb for administrators to effectively deal with intruders. No matter how great the main body is, an alter ego cannot last forever. You can’t waste your mana every time. Until now, I have fulfilled my responsibilities by abiding by that principle.”

but.

“No matter how much you are just an alter ego of the King of Darkness, you, the wizard, have definitely reached me. Even if it was just a scratch on the robe. So, as the personality of the main body wishes, I will also show my strength as the King of Darkness.”

The manager swept his arm.

The seared sleeves returned to their original state. To the alter ego, the appearance did not exist, but was merely a product of mana.

“… … !”

At the same time, the momentum changed.

Where before it had been overbearing and violent, now it was terrifyingly cold.

The mana flowing from the manager has changed.

Like his eyes, they were a mixture of calm blue and brilliant gold.

Verden shut his mouth.

The hand that held the orient naturally gained strength.

‘It’s finally here.’

Oldark Ruin Arkenard.

A river of blood flows under the title he holds. It is a trace left by those who were hostile to him in the past.

No one dared to resist.

An existence that has reached the pinnacle of elemental magic.

Before he was called the King of Darkness, he was called this in the world.

A living natural disaster, a mage of heavenly changes.

His elements are like natural disasters.

The manager raised his left arm.

His staff aimed precisely at the challenger.

Verden, who lowered his posture, increased his concentration.

Don’t move hastily. Instead of taking players, you have to deal with the manager’s magic accurately. If you screw up, you’ll die just like that.

The atmosphere boils slowly.

The moment when you feel a tingling sensation as if your nerves are being pierced by a needle.

The 7th level flames that spread out in a cone shape burned the space.

* * *

At the age of 9, while working as a porter at the Mage Tower, Lobelin gave me two books as a gift.

Both were about the King of Darkness, one was a children’s book with mostly pictures, and the other was a history book with only text.

Verden, already obsessed with magic, was more interested in history books than children’s books, and read books whenever he had free time, such as resting or before going to sleep.

As each day passed, I learned little by little about the existence of the King of Darkness. I saw what feats he had accomplished and what great legends he had created.

After finishing the first reading, Verden thought.

───I also want to become a wizard like the King of Darkness.

It was a childish dream.

A dream overflowing for a child who can’t even become a mediocre wizard. Still, I was happy with myself at the time.

Verden wished every time he slept.

Please let me dream of becoming a wizard that I have longed for. Among them, he had an empty wish to meet the king of magic.

It was a small wish to directly hear about his great life.

I did.

‘As expected, it’s a dream and reality is different.’

Kwakwagwagwang!

A series of explosions occurred behind the flying Verden.

He turned his body in an abrupt turn in the opposite direction. As I stepped on the ceiling, a storm of rocks began to rise from below.

sticky.

Verden’s magic eyes flashed.

Temporarily disrupted gravity and disintegrated magic.

Right after that, was activated under my feet and I hurriedly fell to the floor. A prison of lightning struck the spot where he had been.

Verden, which caused the wind to slow down, landed on the ground.

“It was an effortless move, young wizard. I wonder how you will respond to this magic.”

Gray throne above the stairs.

The manager, who had regained his place, held the staff high. A small sun was created overhead. The bright red lights that filled the manager’s office rushed towards Verden.

I hesitated in the approaching heat.

The cold sweat evaporates and the hair stands on end. Far from being hit, even just brushing against it would cause instant death, and even being swept away by the shockwave would inevitably result in serious injury.

‘Is this the end of enduring with the naked body?’

sorcerer’s curse.

Magical light enveloped Verden.

Elemental resistance, magic resistance, physical resistance.

Increased resistance as much as possible with enchantment magic.

I saved as much as I could because there was a time limit, but I couldn’t help it. Then, at the same time, a protective film with physical resistance and fire resistance was wrapped around the center of the three primary colors.

───Quaaaaaaang!

Mateo landed.

A scorching shockwave came.

“Chit… … !”

The protective shield was shattered.

The regenerated automatic magic barrier was also shattered. The bounced Verden managed to brake. In the dark smoke, my vision was shaking and I heard tinnitus.

The feeling of being entangled in organs.

The gastric juice that had risen to the neck slowly subsided.

‘Still, this is the best result.’

If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have even been able to find the body.

Obviously, the difference in equipment is huge.

In addition, thanks to the combination of the computational speed of the Mystic Eye and Verden, managers with high ranks do not have a significant advantage.

By all appearances, Verden was doing well.

‘It’s worth a try.’

The manager’s presence has weakened.

Due to the battle, a considerable amount of mana was consumed. We can tell because he is an alter ego made of magical power.

In this way, it is a magic warfare that walks on a tightrope, concentrating on offsetting the opponent’s magic power, and enduring with the body what it cannot avoid.

If you make a mistake, it’s the end, but this was the strategy with the highest chance of success for Verden.

“Yes, a thorough war of attrition. Surely that would be the best option for you. And it must be possible because it is none other than you. The coping skills and judgment shown just before were excellent.”

The manager pulled his arm.

“Then what about this?”

A purple blade flew from the staff drawing the trajectory of the half moon.

Destruction magic that boasts absolute physical destructive power among space-types. Horrible anticipation will tear even the soul.

‘It must be avoided unconditionally.’

Blocking is out of the question.

The moment I touch it, magic or whatever will be severed.

Verden performed an acrobatics to evade the blade.

Just as I was trying to reassure myself, I felt magical energy in front and behind me. A purple gap in the air. The complex that had disappeared inside appeared again in front of Verden.

‘Moving space… … ?!’

It is not an area that can be predicted by the senses.

I instinctively twisted my body. The body screamed at the excessive movement.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

There was an excruciating pain that felt like my back was being cut.

Verden, who had plummeted downward, stumbled and regained his balance. The split wizard’s repentance. Blood flowed from his side and dripped down his legs.

“Kuh… … .”

It’s not fatal, but it bleeds profusely.

It is difficult to burn because of the equipment. After making a decision, Verden immediately raised a chill and stopped the bleeding.

It takes about 3 seconds to recognize the injured state and perform first aid. It was a short time, but it was also a long time for the strong.

Verden turned his head.

Tuck, Tuck.

The manager walks down the stairs.

In exchange for using the highest attribute space magic, his presence has further decreased, but he still seems to have enough energy.

“Wasn’t this just an opportunity?”

“As you know, space magic causes a huge recoil to the caster. That’s why it is implemented through magic items, artifacts, and magic circles. If it was the main body, it wouldn’t have had any effect, but it’s a big burden to me, who is just an alter ego.”

The manager reached down the stairs.

“Of course, as a manager, I would have tried to rule it out even if it was unreasonable. However, as the magic battle continues, the personality of the King of Darkness, who is my foundation, whispers. Deal with you as the King of Darkness, not as a manager. It seems that I was stimulated by the existence of you.”

“… … .”

“I have no choice but to follow. Well, as an alter ego, it is an instinct that cannot be resisted. Because what the King of Darkness wishes for will soon become what I wish for.”

cooong.

The floor rumbled.

“Young wizard, there must still be something hidden in you. So show me. If you don’t want to leave emptiness after death.”

It’s downright arrogant.

But it makes sense. The existence in front of my eyes is the great power that is allowed to do so.

Verden drew in a breath.

‘It must be difficult to maintain a war of attrition any longer.’

That must mean that the manager came down.

So, I have no choice but to change my remaining trump card to the next best thing prepared.

Verden, who had made up his mind, flashed his eyes.

He rushed towards the manager and grabbed Orient with both hands.

from far to near.

Death seems imminent, but it is necessary recklessness.

to kill the manager.
