Episode 234

“This is the first time I have eaten food… … Was this what it tasted like? It is incomparably better than what I experienced indirectly through my memory.”

The manager openly enjoyed the taste.

From the wizard’s point of view, it was inefficient. Because the alter ego was a body that needed no nutrition at all.

“Well, this beef jerky and wine. Compared to the memory of the main body, the taste is very good. Verden, it seems you are also pursuing your own gastronomy.”

The manager’s tone was very calm.

It was completely different from the atmosphere of trying to kill Verden with high-level magic, , and super-level magic.

Originally, is magic that belongs to the 6th tier illusion system.

A trick that disturbs the opponent’s senses. The form made of magical power can perform the actions given while calculating magic.

And that was all.

An alter ego can never act like a human.

Even if you build up your proficiency and create an elaborate alter ego, you won’t be able to make it use magic higher than the 5th tier. The ability to think independently is, of course, unreasonable.

impossible existence.

However, it is easily understood.

‘Because he’s the king of magic.’

Mado.

It was specialized in the elemental series, but was thoroughly improved and derived into several series through the research of the King of Darkness.

The resulting magic, magic circles, magic theories, and magic items are legendary achievements.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the development of the magic world was accelerated by 100 years due to the King of Darkness. Compared to that, a unique alter ego doesn’t belong to the amazing axis.

After a while, the King of Darkness finished his yoga.

Satisfied with the aftertaste of the taste and texture, he opened his mouth.

“so. Are you okay?”

“Isn’t it too late to ask?”

“In the first place, it wasn’t to the point of being killed or crippled. Anyway, it’s a strong body unlike a wizard. There won’t be many wizards throughout history who have trained their bodies to the same level as you.”

“Did the manager treat me directly?”

“Alpha and other golems have no knowledge about this. Of course, as you can see, I am also not very confident in my field.”

Somehow, the treatment was a mess.

“Don’t complain so much. Why should I learn first aid because there is something my body might get hurt about?”

That’s it.

In the magic battle with the manager, Verden crosses the line of fire. If the alter ego is like this, how strong is the real King of Darkness, who is transcending the 9th tier… … .

I couldn’t imagine. No, should I say that I don’t even want to imagine it?

‘by the way… … .’

Verden stared blankly at the manager.

He lost the dignity he showed in the magic war… … how to say He was strangely friendly to be called the alter ego of the king of magic.

To put it bluntly, is there a sense of humanity?

The manager, realizing the meaning of that gaze, gave a small smile.

“You must have built a legendary being called the King of Darkness in your own imagination. Since I only encountered it through books or stories, I would have limited myself to an image suitable for the King of Darkness. So there is bound to be a gap with reality.”

“Difference… … ?”

“The body was always strict, solemn, and not serious. He was a transcendent among transcendents, but his foundation was human to the last. He had a clear preference, and he had a sense of responsibility and mission as the king of magic. And he was curious and self-indulgent, like a magician.”

It’s the same as seeing the sudden disappearance one day.

The manager murmured softly and shook his head.

“Well, the body was like that. Let’s talk about what kind of character the King of Darkness was. Rather, Verden, I want to have a conversation with you on a different topic.”

“So you waited for me to wake up?”

“It has already been four days since I moved you to the manager’s office. I don’t have much time to stay in shape, but because of Alpha… … Well, anyway. What I want to say is about the state of your body. In other words, it is curiosity and advice as the King of Darkness.”

body condition?

“There doesn’t seem to be any particular problem… … .”

“To be precise, I’m not talking about injuries, but magic circuits. Let’s check your own level once.”

Verden immediately focused on himself.

As the manager said, I observed the magic circuits of the whole body. Verden, who soon grasped the level, widened his eyes.

“Sixth rank?”

went over the wall

How long has it been since you reached the top 5?

‘But it’s strange.’

It is clearly felt that it is a 6th tier.

But I can’t read the details. Is it lower, middle, or upper? The stairs in between collapsed, and it seemed as if each floor had become one.

It was too vague to be sure how to cut it.

‘Is it the effect of activating the magic circle of reverse heaven for the second time?’

In fact, there is no other cause than that, but… … It was still just as disconcerting. In the blink of an eye, you’ve almost risen to the first rank.

“It would be strange to see it on your own. There is no example of such a drastic change in the main body’s memory and common sense. Even if that was possible, it would have been normal if the body could not stand it and exploded right away.”

but.

“There is only one theoretically possible case.”

Manager and Verden.

Their gazes crossed each other.

“Verden, have you ever experienced the 6th tier or higher in the past?”

* * *

Verden used the magic tower’s power source for the reverse.

He unplugged the power source wire and inserted the connection directly into his own heart. After linking the bridge, it became part of the cycle, the power source.

That feeling is still engraved in my memory.

The feeling of transcending the human species. The omnipotence of moving infinite magic with one’s own will was indescribable.

“… … .”

Verden closed his mouth as he recalled that time.

Silence in this situation was no different from affirmation.

said the manager.

“I guess you have some guesses.”

“… … Should I tell you?”

“I know even if you don’t tell me. It must be the influence of the magic circle engraved on your body.”

While the manager was treating Verden, he looked closely at the magic circle of the reverse sky.

Unknown even to the King of Darkness.

After several days of contemplation, I was only able to vaguely understand the original intention.

The manager narrowed his eyes.

“It wasn’t all about expanding the magic circuit. Beyond simply changing the body, in the end, changing the body itself is completely contrary to the principles of the world.”

To be honest, I still can’t believe it.

Because changing the body was the same as escaping the limits of one’s birth. This was an idea and action that no one else could have done.

Even the main body, the King of Darkness.

“That magic circle. Did you create it yourself? Alone without anyone’s help?”

“… … .”

“Crazy, crazy. Seriously, all I can say is that I’m crazy.”

neither normal nor abnormal.

Far beyond that category, it is truly the product of a madman. It was the product of completely disregarding his own life.

There was no chance of reconstructing the body.

If 10 million try, 10 million will die. More than that.

In a word, it was the height of the impossible.

“But you succeeded. And in the process, he must have experienced, even for a short time, a state comparable to that of a transcendentalist. Your overwhelming talent is probably one of the results.”

“Even if you don’t answer, it seems that you are already convinced.”

“Even if you look at it like this, it’s the alter ego of the King of Darkness. Although lacking in magical ability, intuition and insight are not that different from the main body. Rather, it is not a natural talent, but a talent acquired by oneself… … The more you know, the more you are full of unknowns. May I ask you a question in that sense, Verden?”

“I see.”

“Why did you make that magic circle?”

Why?

Is there only one more?

Recalling the intense emotions, Verden opened his mouth.

The opponent is an alter ego that will disappear anyway. There is no way the conversation will go outside here. That’s why I didn’t try to hide it.

“It is for revenge.”

“Revenge… … Unexpected. One, so I understand. Without such a clear purpose, you wouldn’t be able to have that kind of mental strength and tenacity.”

The manager shook his head.

“But what revenge? Have your family or friends been murdered by someone? Or an entire family massacre?”

Listed plausible motives.

There was a high probability that the deep vengeance was originally related to someone’s life.

However, Verden’s answer far exceeded expectations.

“I was subjected to human experimentation at the Mage Tower.”

“… … ?!”

The manager widened his eyes.

It had to be. It was because he was aware of how terrible the human experiments conducted by magic-crazed wizards were.

Its madness was the extreme of cruelty even in ancient times.

The King of Darkness had personally subdued such magicians, so he knew in detail.

A moment of silence passed.

Soon the manager lowered his head and coughed.

“Kuhm, something like that… … I’m sorry.”

The manager was dumbfounded.

It was a natural reaction for any sane wizard. Verden, who was himself, was calm.

A chilly atmosphere in no time.

The manager quickly changed the subject.

“So, in other words, your body is walking through that experience again. Even if it’s just a fleeting moment, it adapts and evolves faster because it’s a path you’ve been on before. And this is my personal opinion… … In fact, if it’s your body right now, there’s nothing strange about reaching the 7th tier.”

7th level… … ?

Verden blinked.

7 tier. Maybe later, it was a stage that didn’t reach realistically right now. After heaped up his thoughts, he asked cautiously.

“Are you saying that there is another reason for not reaching the 7th tier?”

“Yes. That’s the problem.”

The manager tapped his forehead.

“You have not yet attained spiritual enlightenment.”

* * *

Originally, magic is the essence of a wizard.

It is mado that those who reach at least the 5th level attain enlightenment and pioneer. That was an obvious fact, and Verden was a mage.

That’s why I couldn’t understand.

I already became a mage, but I didn’t get enlightenment.

“A reasonable thought. Then Verden, can you show me your magic here?”

“… … All right.”

Verden slowly raised his hand.

It creaked in many ways, but I endured the pain. He drew her breath in and focused her mind.

Mado .

A spiral of gravity was born at the tip of Verden’s index finger.

This is not limited to any hierarchy. It was magic and magic that embodied Verden’s will and image as it was.

“also… … .”

The manager rubbed his chin.

Blue-gold eyes pierced the core.

“You are truly a mage. However, unlike your body that has already gone beyond, an imbalance is occurring because your mind remains the same. That’s why magic is also imperfect. You could call it ‘half magic’.”

“… … !”

Verden, whose eyes were twitching, answered immediately.

“But I’ve definitely seen magic.”

“I saw Mado… … ? Could it be that you remember the abyss of magic?”

It comes to mind more clearly.

Those were the myriad magic spells spread across Verden. At that explanation, the manager’s expression turned more serious.

“Originally, that abyss is forgotten in my mind as soon as I walk through magic. It’s because it’s such a moment and it’s a change that happens deep inside. Only special beings like the main body remember that moment. But many Madora… … .”

clouded his speech

Thoughts went deeper.

“You have not taken any path in the abyss. However, that is also a choice, and can be interpreted as a madora. So, let’s reorganize it———”

Verden’s body is special.

The magic that can be pioneered only when the body and mind are in harmony, was achieved only by the growth of the body beyond the limit.

even if it’s half of that.

There was another reason why the manager was sure of this.

“Verden, do you remember the moment you blocked the super-level magic?”

“Remember, I don’t.”

“Then I saw. The dark red magic manifested from you who lost consciousness… … It obviously ‘ruined’ my primordial spark completely.”

… … What is that pressure?

“Dark red magic… … So, is that my true magic?”

“I think so. In fact, it makes no sense given the circumstances. It must have been manifested because the distant mind was temporarily in harmony with the body.”

Verden clenched his fist.

6th tier and half Madorani whose realm cannot be accurately specified.

“Then, what is my realm… … .”

“Well, this is the first case. But if I had to make a distinction———”

The body is magically completed.

A state in which you can become a transcendentalist right away if you have mental enlightenment.

The King of Darkness spoke softly.

“You could call me a quasi-transcendent.”
