Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 240



Only Noblemtl

Episode 240 Nightmare (1)

Wizards are active in many fields.

In particular, the elemental magic they use boasts destructive power that can easily kill at least one person.

But the downsides are also obvious.

The physical and cognitive abilities of magicians are usually not very different from those of ordinary people. For that reason, those who hate or envy wizards despise them as ‘glass bodies’.

No matter what you say, in the end it was a mage who could be killed by a crude dagger.

Actually, that’s not wrong.

Mages are definitely vulnerable to raids and crises.

It is not uncommon for unwary wizards to be assassinated, and there are many cases where they lose their lives due to mistakes in magic calculations at the moment of despair.

The latter is especially common with new adventurers.

Whether they have graduated from an academy or are gifted with extraordinary talent, those who have not encountered the horrors of combat become a burden.

Adapting to rapidly changing situations in real time and calculating magic is not an easy task. Unless you have a mental strength harder than steel.

As such, the magician’s gap is clear.

In other words, a very easy prey for an assassin.

In fact, Slay has killed many mages who oppose or get in the way of Vintert. The end of those who were sleeping or beheaded in the crowd is still good to the eye.

Occasionally the quick-witted resisted, but it didn’t mean anything. It was over as long as I approached avoiding the magic.

It was impossible to respond to Slay’s movements with normal magician’s torso eyesight, and it was enough to tear apart the weak magic barrier with a dagger.

The underworld assassin, Slay.

He had never allowed himself any magic before.

‘If that’s the case, it’s just a staff wielded by a wizard.’

Even if it was an unexpected blow, could it be a threat?

Seeing the wizard step into the place to die on his own, Slay laughed.

until just now.

Whoa!

Two crossed daggers blocked Orient.

“?!”

Slay couldn’t hold on and bounced off.

Heavy impact despite minimizing damage by spurring the deck just before. A small breath escaped from his mouth, and both hands holding the dagger trembled slightly.

‘How could the staff have such power… … .’

It’s like being hit by a huge blunt instrument.

Even if it was the effect of a magic item, it was unexpectedly powerful. At that moment, a chill began to form on the blade that touched Orient.

Damn it.

A chill that spread in an instant covered his entire body.

“S-Slay?”

There was no answer.

Slay, who had become an ice statue, was silent.

Something is wrong.

The assassins of Vintert took a step back.

A whole flying boat exploded, followed by Slay… … In particular, the energy felt from the target, the man with gray hair, was unusual.

overwhelming presence.

This is the king of the underworld, more than that—

Kwajajajak!

At that time, Slay broke through the ice and charged Verden.

Robart took it as a sign.

While escorted by other assassins, he shortened the magic calculation time by using all the magic items.

Even so, Verden was still expressionless.

‘Did he endure ?’

It’s an allied flying boat, so I tried to deal with it as neatly as possible.

Obviously, the person in charge is different. I don’t know if that’s fortunate for an assassin called Slay.

Quietly grabbed Orient.

“Brother, I help… … .”

“Not required.”

The restrained Karans stopped.

Calia, Vespa, Owl, and others who were trying to move also hesitated. There was a strange pressure in Verden’s voice.

Meanwhile, Robart perfected his magic.

5th tier concentration magic.

There is no blind spot in the eight-pronged thunderbolt.

An explosion of lightning enveloped Verden.

Right after that, Slay, who gathered his energy, showed off his skills. With extremely agile movements, he bent his trajectory in an impossible direction and aimed at the back of his opponent.

Slay’s purpose was kidnapping, not assassination.

It was calculated that it would be easy to take him if his lower body was crippled.

Kwajik!

There is a taste.

But there were no screams.

“… … A magic barrier?”

A shield of magical power realized with .

Although Verden’s proficiency was not comparable to that of the Sorcerer King, there was no way he would be broken by such an impact. Of course, other people couldn’t believe it.

In their eyes, it would seem that they survived with the first tier basic magic, Magical Barrier.

Verden turned his head to the side.

The magic circle floated up and looked straight at Slay.

“… … !!”

It gives me goosebumps.

He tried to leave immediately, but the gravitational chains entangled Slay’s legs. Desperately swung the dagger to destroy the chain.

It was too late to avoid one.

Ice claws holding lightning penetrated Slay’s chest.

A bitter chill that pierces the armor made of the monster’s hide and destroys the inside of the body with powerful thunderbolts.

Since it is a single magic, it is not extensive or flashy, but its killing power is high among the 6th tier.

“Keep, keug… … .”

The flowing blood freezes.

A dagger that fell powerlessly. Unable to bear it, Slay drooped, but his eyes were still staring at Verden.

With life and anger.

‘If anyone sees it, they’ll think I attacked.’

Well, it’s over.

wooow.

The ice shattered and Slay exploded.

* * *

Slay is dead

Pieces of what had been him up until now were scattered on the floor.

As human beings, death is inevitable.

But even so, the end of the top-notch in Vintert was too simple.

Is there such a big difference in skill?

So what is that wizard all about? Fear and trepidation began to spread among the assassins.

Verden turned to the side.

Next is the turn of the Lightning Wizard.

He raised his arms and extended Orient.

The amount of mana concentrated enough not to intimidate others.

A ray of light burst out like an explosion and rushed right through the crowd to Robart.

It’s not a speed to avoid.

He immediately covered himself with a curtain of lightning to protect himself.

“Uh… … !”

The curtain cannot stand and collapses.

It wasn’t hierarchical magic, but it was such crazy power that it was fired with pure magical power. Even if the magic barrier is mobilized as soon as the curtain is broken, only seconds can survive.

When he intuited death, Robart’s past flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

I suddenly felt regret.

If only I knew you were such a monster… … He lost three competitive bids at the auction house, so he wouldn’t have followed Slay to get revenge and take what he had.

“… … Rocky.”

Robart reached out to his brother.

Soon, the light that broke the curtain swept through my vision. The literally smashed robart fell out of the flying boat.

It was a splendid end for an executive of the criminal forces.

“Tongue!”

Rocky screamed.

With bloodshot eyes, he rushed at Verden. Due to the death of his twin brother, he completely lost his reason to discern reason.

But the people around me no longer just watched.

“I dare say to my brother that I am not as good as an ogre.”

Wow!

Karance flew in and kicked Rocky.

A feeling that crushes the cheekbones. A shadow fell behind Rocky, who stumbled and hesitated.

Baek Young.

Calia, who drew an afterimage, swung her sword.

Rocky, who had cut the back of his knee defenselessly, fell forward, and she, moving faster than him, cut his throat.

Dark red blood spilled over the deck.

Slay died.

Death of brothers Robert and Rocky.

One of the three flying boats is lost.

The weight tilted.

The assassins who noticed each other hurriedly escaped.

There was never an option to surrender to them. If you get caught, you’ll be hanged. At best, you’ll rot in prison for the rest of your life.

Vespa shouted.

“Don’t let even one escape!”

“yes!”

The knights thoroughly blocked the assassins.

There were people who tried to escape by flying boat using , but they could not reach it. The arrows of the owl made the tribesmen fall, and the wizard of the knights killed the rest himself.

The counterattack did not stop there.

Karans made a scaffolding out of tree roots and swooped down on a nearby flying boat. The knights followed him.

“Quaaaaaagh!”

“Aaaagh!”

The members of Vintert were helplessly swept away.

He still hasn’t recovered from the shock of losing Slay. With this, Calia, who completely seized her victory, sighed and approached Verden.

“Huh, thanks to you, I was able to overcome the crisis. Thank you, Asher.”

“I’m glad I’m not late.”

“Rather than being late, it was exquisite. Anyway, I didn’t expect it to appear with the light. And it seems like a lot has changed since I haven’t seen it… … Well, I’ll ask about this later. Rather.”

Calia raised her head.

The flying boat bombing Bellos is moving away.

A move to retreat knowing there is no chance of winning. And there will be a purpose to report the situation to the king of the underworld.

“I’d like to deal with it if possible, but it’s too far. It’s a small flying boat, so it’s not easy to track. I have no choice but to let go.”

“Then I will handle it.”

“First, go to Lines… … what?”

Verden activated the magic circuit with full power.

At the same time, the release of magical power was suppressed by the method of mana management of the King of Darkness. It might adversely affect Calia’s flying boat.

Currently, Verden’s magical power is comparable to that of a Transcendentalist.

Pajijijijik!

Powerful lightning strikes from the staff penetrated the clouds. A blue light flashed and thunder was heard.

After dozens of seconds of calculation, the magic was completed.

Verden lowered the Orient.

Falling snake.

A spreading current, a thundercloud pulsates.

Before long, a blue light burst out, and a snake made of huge thunderbolts fell. The gaping monster approached Vintert’s flying boat.

Small flying boats have weak hull durability.

Not only that, but also the protection magic circle. However, even so, it is very difficult to sink it with magic.

Unless dozens of skilled wizards bombard them all at once.

But the result is this.

Kwagwagwagwa!

enormous heat and pressure.

The magic circle was shattered at once and the flying boat was split in two. Even the power source exposed to magic exploded, adding to the shock. Charred remains fall.

A violent storm raged as far as Velos.

Dark red hair flutters in the wind.

Calia looked blankly at the sky and let out a small voice.

“… … omg.”

Vintert Assassin, annihilated.

* * *

The immediate threat is gone.

But Bellos’s cabin was quiet, as if someone had died. Everyone only moved their eyes and glanced at Verden. even the spirits.

The worse owl opened its mouth first.

“Keuheum, it doesn’t seem that long since I caught Heilang Toreld before… … It seems that the realm has risen a lot.”

“There has been some progress.”

What kind of progress did it take to destroy the flying boat with lightning? And that in just a few months.

The owl didn’t bother asking.

Silence came again.

Calia, who was glancing from the side, asked.

“Asher, but what are those clothes? It fits very well, but very… … No, it doesn’t look very unusual. To be honest, it looks nobler than anything I’ve ever seen.”

“Nice, brother.”

“Thank you. I got lucky recently.”

… … recent?

Fernet, who was sitting in a chair, blinked.

She was aware of Verden’s whereabouts. If it was recently, it must have been the tomb of the King of Darkness.

‘That means, of course, that clothes belong to the King of Darkness… … .’

“omg!”

Ferne covered her mouth.

thud! He bowed his head deeply until he hit his forehead on the desk. All eyes were on him for a moment, but he couldn’t help it.

It was her own desperate effort not to scream.

Verden said this time.

“Come to think of it, I think I heard that a civil war broke out in the kingdom.”

This was the information I got from my informant, Gedson.

“Let me tell you that.”

Knight Commander Vespa explained the situation in the kingdom.

A civil war broke out due to the disappearance of Nigel, the eldest son of the Duke of Northramd. According to the newspaper, after a close battle, the war situation leaned against the first prince.

Moreover, the prevailing view is that the civil war will soon end. Considering that the civil war has come right in front of the 2nd and 3rd princes.

‘A lot happened while I was gone.’

I hope there will be a civil war

Actually, there was no great excitement. No matter who becomes the king, it won’t have a big impact on Verden. Calia nodded her head.

“Your problems are for my father to take care of. For us, now is more important than the future of the kingdom. It’s because Vintert is running amok, violating the non-aggression pact, saying he’ll catch you Asher. Why are they chasing you?”

“well.”

“… … I have something to hide. Is it something to do with my father? And that elf too?”

Calia’s eyes were sharp.

Of course, Verden didn’t answer.

Words are too long to explain Leonil’s experiments. It’s related to the Marquis of Esperenza, so I can’t say it freely.

“Still, the solution is simple.”

“A solution?”

Verden stood up from his seat.

Heading for the door, I met eyes with the elf.

“Karanth, I’m sorry, but I’ll ask for more security.”

“Leave it to me, brother. But does it matter if the humans here find out my identity?”

“Yes, you can go around in your true form while in the flying boat.”

Karanth released the Face of Deception again.

a mischievous smile. There wouldn’t be any particular physical discomfort, but it seemed that he didn’t like walking around in a human form.

“Calia, you go straight to Lines. Ferne, you too move with Karans in Lines. I’ll come to you when I’m done with my errands.”

“Ah yes! Got it, Mr. Asher!”

“Wait, Asher. What’s the matter? where now… … No, what the hell are you going to do?”

what do you do

“To erase Vintert.”

widely. Verden left the cabin.

The door slowly closed and returned. The sound of footsteps in the hallway soon disappeared. Soon, out of the window, I saw the back of Verden, who was moving away in an instant.

Karans shook hands with Blue cheerfully.

But others couldn’t.

Everyone’s faces hardened at Verden’s words.

“… … What are you doing now?”
