Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 242

Episode 242 Nightmare (3)
“… … what?”
The king of the underworld, Grond, twitched his eyebrows.
The bleak air of the throne room stabbed his lungs sharply. The bodyguard of Vintert, prostrated under the throne, swallowed and repeated the same words.
“This is the news that Asher and Galliac have entered Aurople. And judging from the direction it is moving, the destination appears to be here in Loapra.”
“What about Slay?”
“I didn’t see anyone but the two of them. However, given that Asher looks fine, it is thought that they are at odds with each other.”
There are plenty of possibilities.
No matter how much Slay operated a small flying boat, he couldn’t keep an eye on the entire kingdom, not just Roapra.
Had they met, it would not have ended well.
Slay is the head of the assassination line, and the Robart and Rocky brothers are strong people who are in the upper ranks of the security line.
The assassins who accompanied them were also skilled in murder.
“… … .”
Took. Took. Took.
Fingers wrapped in gauntlets pounded the armrests.
With his other arm resting on his chin, Grond shut his mouth. A small, slanting gray crown. The turbid gold eyes sank deeply.
‘Wizard Asher.’
A person who had completely disappeared to the point of avoiding Slay’s pursuit suddenly appeared. Even in the realm directly under their own control.
It’s obviously not a coincidence.
He must have known that he was being pursued. Not another day, and he’s self-evident from the fact that he’s appeared at this point.
That’s why I had my doubts.
‘Why did you come here?’
Even if you hide, it’s not enough, and you come on your own feet.
Did he finally give up and come to Vintert to surrender? Or are you planning to set up a negotiation like last time?
Whatever it was, it was a stupid decision.
Because Vintert is absolutely not a humane group. Even for targets that cost valuable time and manpower.
“But whatever, it’s fun.”
Grond laughed.
Anyway, since he came to the dark side like this, there was nothing he couldn’t welcome as a king. You deserve to be praised for saving the effort.
with a small feast.
“Mera or not.”
“Did you call, Your Majesty?
“Speak to all of Loapra.”
Grond declared.
“I will grant the right to become a member of Vintert to those who bring Asher.”
* * *
Like a big city, the streets of Aurople were crowded.
Possessing a bloody weapon, the muscular Gauliak was enough to attract the attention of the citizens. The startled people screamed and hurriedly retreated.
Verden was also a subject of uproar.
Of course, it had a completely different meaning from Galliac. Mysterious appearance and invaluable equipment.
It was completely different from the nobles of the kingdom he had encountered so far.
A murmur is heard everywhere.
However, the two of them had separate interests.
“Bastards, you must have been quite flustered when you saw them moving.”
Sensors are hiding in the crowd.
I didn’t even have to find out who it was. Of course, he must be related to Vintert.
It was only natural that the influence of the organization that ruled the huge underground city would extend to Aurople.
“If you see this fucking thing already, the bottom must be fucking really good.”
“Aren’t you confident?”
“It’s easy to kill an insect by stepping on it. But when it becomes dozens or hundreds, when will you kill them all and sit down? Frankly, it’s too much.”
Galliak was confident in his own skills.
I am fully aware that no one can handle the underworld alone. It was the same both subjectively and objectively.
If hundreds of halfway guys rushed at me, even if I didn’t die, I couldn’t help but get tired.
“But if there is an elemental mage, the story will be different. As long as you complete the magic, the small pike will just die. I am in charge of the front line.”
It was a typical adventurer’s fighting style.
“What were you going to do if I didn’t come?”
“What do you do? I tried to disappear after destroying all the entrances and the magic elevator that goes down to the dark side. In order to do that, I also evaded tracking along the way. Maybe it was pretty effective? You wouldn’t have expected that the guy you’ve been chasing all day would show up at their headquarters.”
Loapra built underground is very closed.
So, instead of having little external influence, the passage to the ground was limited.
If Galliak had put his plan into action, it would have been quite troublesome for Vintert.
It’s because the manpower to send outside is limited. It will take some time to recover, and if you annihilate the pursuers and hide in the meantime, it will be difficult to find.
Of course, the risk is very high.
Still, it was a better idea than being pursued all day and being attacked at every turn. At least for Galliac.
‘Well, it’s something that won’t happen anymore.’
We soon arrived at the underpass.
I went down the stairs, recalling the memory of being guided by Samwell in the past. Along with the wide hallway, you can see the entrance to the elevator.
Unlike before, there were no crowds, only Aurople’s guards remained.
One of them approached, touching his mustache.
“Oh dear. I never thought I would see the customer Samwell brought again like this. It’s like seeing an acquaintance who has been sentenced to death.”
Dalian Warden.
It was the manager of the aisle I met with Samwell.
“Did you come to guide us?”
“They said in Vintert. Send you two safely down to Loapra. Without inspection, of course. So, as director, I am doing my job as I should. however… … .”
The warden looked at Verden’s face and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk, it’s definitely worth the face value, it’s a waste. How the hell did you behave to become a target of Vintert? huh? If I were you———”
Aaaaaaagh!
Suddenly, a huge hand slapped the warden on the cheek.
A body that fell sideways. The warden’s jaw returned, and she passed out with both eyes open.
“There are so many guides, X cubs.”
Wow. Galliak spat.
The guards erected a spear, but it was meaningless.
“Cut your eyes. Before killing them all.”
“Ugh… … !”
The Butcher rolled his eyes.
Instinctively, the soldiers backed away. Some of the dogs fell over. Verden and Galliak passed between them.
there was no living
But to the extent that his expression was slightly crooked, he was so frightened.
“Certainly, you have a knack for intimidation.”
“Are you kidding me with your face?”
An atmosphere with no tension at all.
The two climbed into the high-speed horsepower elevator at the bottom of the central staircase. As the door closes, a faint noise is heard.
Loapra reflected through the tempered glass drew closer.
“Oh, but do you have any plans? Either get rid of all those who get in your way and go, or cut off the heads of the leaders of Vintert while ignoring the small puppets. You know something like that?”
“If I had to choose between the two, it would be the former.”
“The former… … .”
Only then did Galiak become convinced.
The one next to me isn’t the 5th tier elemental mage I’ve seen before.
‘Have you pioneered magic?’
Most likely.
Because each person takes a different time to develop magic. It is said that there are cases where you become a mage upon reaching the 5th tier.
In contrast, the 6th rank has a different growth point.
Even if you have enough talent and effort, a lofty state that takes time. There’s no way I could have made it this far because it’s been so long since I haven’t seen it… … .
‘The problem is that this bastard is unreasonable.’
To be honest, except for my appearance and personality, everything has changed. I couldn’t believe that I was only in the 3rd place until last year.
What kind of life have you been living in between?
anyway.
‘I’m very looking forward to it.’
It was the first time I had ever seen a wizard that reached this level.
I will fully see what that power is here. With such a promise, Galliak revealed his desire for the strong.
… … thud.
We finally reached the underground city.
When they got off the elevator, the people who had been waiting for them surrounded them. Of course, none of them were ordinary people living in Loapra.
“Bug babies. It’s very crowded.”
Galliak twisted his lips.
* * *
Loapra’s welcome guests consisted of dozens of people.
Someone gripped the handle of the weapon several times as if they were nervous, and someone licked their lips while raising their mana.
Eyes entangled with murder and greed were rampant everywhere.
‘It’s annoying.’
Verden’s eyes twitched.
At that moment, a man with a long sword on his shoulder came forward with a grunt.
“Wow, look what it looks like. Just looking at you, do you think you’re an asshole?”
“… … .”
“I’m so scared I can’t even answer. Hey, there’s no need to be scared already. Because I have no idea what to do right now. Actually, it’s because we made a bet with each other.”
Galliak tilted his head.
“bet? What bet?”
“The great underworld king has announced that if Asher is brought in, he will be put in Vintert. Depending on the contribution level, the number of people is up to 5 people. In other words, first-come, first-served.”
“Aha, so you want to play a game with him?”
“That’s how it is. Well, actually, it’s almost like shit, but… … Still, I’m going to try to be as fair as possible to begin with. The rules are simple. As soon as Asher arrives at the square, the competition begins. And we do not attack each other.”
Is it easy to memorize?
The man shrugged.
“And did you say galliak? By the way, there is a bounty on you. That’s a whopping 1 billion elk. This is first come, first served.”
“To me? well, done So what are you guys?”
“What? An escort who came to protect someone from cheating along the way. Shall we call it a guide?”
“Oh, the guide.”
Galliak laughed.
At the same time, he spurred the ground and charged.
Wow!
The front kick, loaded with weight and speed, hit the man. After being blown away by the shock, he collided with the crowd behind him and was scattered on the floor.
Waist almost folded in half. It was an instant death.
“This bastard talks a lot and is even arrogant? It’s going to be very tight.”
I’m already dead.
A few swallowed.
Galliac asked Verden.
“Hey, so what are you going to do? Jojo from now on?”
“for a moment.”
Verden activated the magic circuit.
Soon, the magic that spread out in all directions spread to Roapra. Sensing this, the powerful people of the underworld roared all over the place.
“What, all of a sudden?”
“I think it’s magic sensing?”
Magic power detection consumes extreme power depending on the range.
But why are you using such basic magic here? Did you do it in desperation? Ignoring such questions, Verden focused on his magic.
‘There are no civilians nearby.’
Most of the buildings are empty.
In particular, the humans detected near the square were forming a group with weapons. Apparently, the residents who heard the news fled to the outskirts.
‘Good.’
The purpose of coming to Roapra is to destroy Vintert.
He had no intention of touching civilians in the process. Verden had enough time to care about that.
Verden said.
“Let’s go to the square.”
“It’s an all-out war. Well, not bad.”
“But before that.”
Verden pointed with his index finger at the crowd in front.
The sloppy stares coming from earlier were quite unpleasant. I had no intention of going with them.
“… … uh?”
The amount of horsepower increases rapidly.
Some wizards felt strange, but there was no way to deal with it.
Magical power that changes nature.
An unknown weight slowly pressed down on his shoulders. Then Verden lowered his finger.
Koo—Ah, so-and-so!
Dozens of people fell to the ground all at once.
The ground cracked on impact.
Those who were weakly pulled by gravity only had their heads hit hard, and those who tried to resist even a little had their joints and bones shattered.
At the same time, the discomfort that was bothering him disappeared in an instant.
‘It’s comfortable now.’
Verden moved on.
Cross over those who fell as a bouncer to the plaza.
“Turn it off… … uh… … .”
“ah… … ah… … .”
A horror full of painful moans.
The Galiak left inside blinked.
“Fuck, what kind of magic is that again?”
* * *
Verden headed towards the square without hesitation.
Galliak, who had followed late, took a seat next to him.
The closer you get to your destination, the thicker the pervasive life becomes.
At least hundreds of people were paying attention to the two figures. The mercenaries who had been mixed in the crowd shuddered.
“huh? Why are only the two of us here? What about the guys who came out to meet you?”
“Is that important now? Stop worrying and think about how to catch those bastards.”
The crowd headed for the elevator was quickly forgotten.
Everyone focused on the two targets and made their own plans. In the meantime, Verden arrived at the empty Plaza of Roapra.
Galiak looked around and frowned.
“X-foot, look at how they are hiding here and there. Not some kind of cockroach. Hey Asher. where do you want to kill? from the east? Or west?”
Galiak took out a veil and held it.
I don’t think he’s a fighting maniac, he’s flashing his life before he even starts. Who would think of a platinum-level adventurer after seeing that figure?
“… … .”
Verden stood in the center of the square.
The ultimate goal of coming to Roapra is the ruler of Vintert, the king of the underworld. And the only enemies are those who get in the way.
Of course, I’m not going to kill anyone else.
Including civilians, even those who surrender in the middle of a battle. After all, Verden was a mage, not a slayer.
So, I thought of giving myself a chance.
‘Of course, it must be difficult to distinguish between people in a mess.’
It’s not really a big problem though.
Because I’ve already thought of a suitable countermeasure.
When the mana was generated, the walls flickered.
As Verden’s presence grew stronger, attention was drawn to him in an instant. Even the Galiak by his side calmed his excitement and turned his gaze.
Verden opened his mouth.
“Tell me only once.”
A voice that flowed through magic resonated throughout Loapra.
Vintert, other criminal forces, mercenaries, and even citizens. Everyone living in the darkness naturally listened to the sound.
A cool silence lingers.
The darkness has become so quiet that it has never been before. Behind him, Verden gave a low sentence.
“Get down on your knees. If you don’t want to die.”
