Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 243



Only Noblemtl

Episode 243 Nightmare (4)

The reason why Verden came to Roapra himself was not just to make him pay for targeting himself.

A ruler of Vintert who calls himself a king must have the skills to match. He also judged that he was suitable for testing the newly reached level of a quasi-transcendent.

Of course, the original purpose was not forgotten.

Punishing Vintert to prevent further troublesome things from happening.

But, of course, even if only the King of the Underworld was dealt with, there was no way the turmoil would completely subside as if nothing had happened.

Those who did not see Verden’s skills with their own two eyes.

And it was obvious that the remaining remnants of Vintert, who did not believe in reality, would continue to be a nuisance.

So, like now, they chose an all-out war with Roapra as their stage.

By showing the overwhelming power gap, in order to silence not only Vintert but also the lower criminal factions at once.

Giving him a chance to live in the process was his own mercy.

However, it is common that pure intentions are not conveyed intact to others. There are things that you must experience for yourself to understand.

That’s what the world is by nature.

“Crazy, are my ears weird? what? what to kneel for? knee? Ruying Costa before, are you doing that by catching one of those perverts, now?”

“Kyahahahahaha! It was strange that only two people came to Roapra. Wasn’t he the one with a bunch of screws missing from his head? How many people have gathered here?”

“Isn’t it an idiot to have been the target of Vintert from the beginning? If you want to live, put your head down and beg. If it was that face, it would be sold as a slave at a high price. Oh, that’s why I asked you to capture me alive?”

“Kick-kick, maybe. But that staff and robe look very expensive. Will His Majesty pay for that too?”

“But that magical power, something is strange… … .”

The sound of laughter echoed around him.

Some people felt a sense of shivering, but they soon dispelled the feeling.

There are only two opponents, and there are hundreds or thousands of people who are aiming for him. Even that was not at the level of a drop of money buried in the nose in the back alley.

Forces gathered by those in power who exert a great influence on the underworld.

They are talented people who went through and through in order to win the competition and enter Wintert. Not to mention looking down on them, not thinking about their defeat and death was a natural reaction.

“Still, since he is a Lightning Wizard, he must have his own ways. Luing Costa was also annihilated. Well, I already prepared magic items for that.”

Terger, one of the powerful people east of Loapra. He sneered and nodded at his aides.

“Go ahead and catch them before the others snatch them away. He’s a weak wizard, so be careful not to die. And since there was no word to capture that Galliac alive, just cut off his head and bring him.”

“Yes, Terger.”

One by one, they hold their weapons in their hands.

Wizards and archers settled on the roofs of buildings, and warriors with melee weapons such as swords, spears, and axes painted the outside of the square black.

A gradually narrowing siege.

Verden still stood in the center of the square.

“Butcher, you move freely. And kill only those who get in the way on the way to the Castle of Vintert.”

“… … I will.”

Galliak nodded obediently.

Even if he died soon, he, an adventurer, accepted Verden as the party’s leader. I couldn’t help admitting that magic power I felt in an instant.

“Fuck you, you’ve become a real monster in a few months.”

Galliak murmured and held the sword with both hands. He wiped the cold sweat from his palms.

cooong!

A butcher charging forward, baring fangs. As the ax blade, engulfed in red energy, cut through the air, a scream of despair returned.

Verden looked away and looked ahead.

Criminals who could not hide their laughter giggled and flicked their swords.

“Hey, you can’t even run away anyway, so let’s go for good. Isn’t it a loss to see blood when you try to resist?”

That’s right.

You are the one who rejected one.

Finally Verden moved.

Inside the transparent wall where only emotionless gazes drift. Activated the magic circuit with full power, he slammed Orient to the ground.

And the underworld began to move.

* * *

Loapra is the home of only humans.

It is a haven for those who have nowhere to go who dare not roam the world, and it is a hotbed of the underworld where numerous crimes occur every moment.

Since its creation, an underground city that has never allowed the invasion of sub-species or hetero-species. Even if it’s the worst city from the outside, it was a place like a baby’s cradle to someone.

Damn it. so-so-so-so.

Such Loapra is splitting around the plaza.

Numerous buildings collapsed due to the strong earthquake, and the familiar back alleys I had walked through until yesterday were shattered.

The entire axis of the underworld is twisted.

One of the people in power who collapsed on the floor at the shock immediately opened his eyes.

“what’s this… … .”

Everything is changing every minute.

Loapra, where they lived until now, rippled like a wave. It was a very unreal sight.

This isn’t the sea, it’s an underground city.

Before long, the ground turned over and soared upward. The street he was stepping on immediately split in half, creating a huge cliff.

A distant height where pitch-black darkness settled.

“Oh, no! Aaaaaaaagh!”

One mercenary slipped and fell through a gap.

The screams were soon drowned out by a roar. Even in such a death, no one reacted properly.

Someone did.

When you experience something that transcends your cognition, you can’t think or act as if your head is a blank slate.

It used to be something I wasn’t interested in, but now I just couldn’t. It was because everyone gathered around the plaza was experiencing that phenomenon.

It wasn’t forever though.

Only the one in power, the wizard Thor, who was the first to come to his senses after escaping from the confusion, shouted.

“That wizard… … Stop Asher now! No, kill me!”

It was an accurate judgment like a wizard.

Certainly, if Verden is stopped, the strange phenomena occurring in Roapra will disappear.

However, Thorman’s ability was insufficient.

Because he couldn’t detect the magical power he felt from Verden, and he had forgotten his original purpose of being captured. It was a matter of mental strength.

And it was the same for others.

“Did you not hear me! Come on kill me! I mean kill!”

“yes yes!”

The men immediately aimed their weapons at them.

Since the sense of reality had disappeared, it was a reflexive response to the command. It was a movement that was embodied in the usual habit and expressed.

One was there.

“What are you doing without shooting right away? … !”

Only Thor, who turned his head, flinched.

There were no subordinates there. Only corpses impaled by thorns rising from the earth were visible.

A cool air current brushed the nape of his neck.

“Now, now, wait———”

Kwajik.

Something flew and pierced Thorman’s chest.

Blood poured out with belated pain. It was an instant that the vision was dark. Screams began pouring from all over him.

However, no one has yet surrendered.

Verden tilted his head inwardly.

‘It’s different from what I expected.’

I thought it would come out soon.

Is that why his loyalty to Vintert is so strong? Or maybe it’s the fear of the king of the underworld.

Whatever it was, there was a pulpit more than I thought.

Well, it’s their choice, so I just respect it.

Verden walking through the ruins of the dark.

The castle of Vintert, visible in the distance, was gradually approaching.

* * *

Marco was a former knight.

An ordinary knight who was loyal to a certain baron, nothing special about it. He was also a pitiful man who was kicked out for taking responsibility for his superiors.

Even so, a knight was a knight.

Of course, he knew how to handle prayer and was able to use a swordsmanship that seemed plausible. Skill enough to live on a knife.

Searching for a place to settle down, Marco settled down in Loapra.

He decided that it was better to live among people, even if it was a den of criminals, since he would live outside doing mercenary work.

My experience as a knight helped me a lot.

He was noticed by a powerful person and entered the organization, and he felt satisfied in his own way. He’s only fighting a hostile organization with swords, because he’s earning far more than his salary in the past.

A vast underground city.

Marco became a member of the street and lived faithfully.

His world is being destroyed.

“Huh, huh, huh… … !”

The black is already gone. The cumbersome breastplate was also removed.

It was an expensive item, but it was a waste and it was not the time to sleep. The pressure to run or die made Marco move.

The landscape of Loapra was reflected in his vision.

“help me! Help me!”

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The earth devours the living.

As if they were alive, they were biting their lips greedily. As if the amount was insufficient, a gap immediately opened under the feet of another victim.

A similar scream echoed in my ears again.

Marco just ran.

cried Madame Cherydam, the woman who had just passed by.

“You wizards! Please do something!”

“Ah, I see!”

Wizards created magic.

I hid inside the building, built a wall, and put all my energy into protecting myself by covering it with a curtain again. Only then did Madame and the wizards feel relieved.

But it didn’t make any sense.

Aaaaaang!

The earth exploded.

Buildings and curtains were torn to pieces like paper, and the people inside were massacred. Only bloodstains scattered around whispered that someone was here.

‘Please, please, please… … !’

Marco gritted his teeth and ran.

Suddenly, the body of Terger, a man of power who had died and was in a state of disrepair, tumbled down from the rubble of a collapsed building.

“Ha ha ha ha! Asher, you crazy sorcerer! How strong have you become?!”

Galliak opened his arms and smiled brightly.

Blood dripped from the blade of the Feast and wet the back of his hand. As if he didn’t care about that kind of dirt, the butcher twisted his mouth like a madman and kicked the floor with all his might.

Kwaji Jijik!

At the location he was facing, a half-cut corpse floated in the air.

“Huh, uhhh… … !”

Marco ran desperately.

Emotions welled up in my heart. I was so scared that I thought I was going to go crazy. Most survivors were like that.

His will to fight, to live, and his greed disappeared, and he focused only on surviving.

But in the meantime, no one knelt down.

The reason was simple.

Because I didn’t believe Verden’s words at all.

Who would sit on their knees in this hell that collapses in real time? If you’re not a crazy person, you’d choose to run away even a little farther.

Loyalty to Vintert? fear? That kind of thing was long gone.

That was then.

Among the survivors, there was a group of people who stood up to the horrors.

“Hey Asher! Just kill that bastard!”

“Whether it’s blocked with enchantment magic or whatever, approach and kill it somehow! If you want to live, kill!”

His courage was truly brilliant.

Resisters fighting against incomprehensible disasters without despair. I had a little bit of an idea that maybe they could do it.

Marco shook his head slightly.

The warriors disappeared in the clouds of rising dust. Immediately after, a terrible detonation sound was heard, which suddenly stopped.

Whoaaaaagh!

A storm broke out and the dust cleared.

Those who were alive until the moment before collapsed as one with the wreckage. Between them, Verden was walking.

The wall containing the blue abyss collided with Marco.

“Huh!”

Breath stopped momentarily.

Startled, Marco tripped on a rock and fell.

It didn’t hurt, but I couldn’t get up. My body and soul trembled uncontrollably. It was best to just build up the upper body.

“… … !!”

jerk, jerk.

The entity that caused the terrible disaster is approaching. An indescribable fear ran down his spine.

Marco reflexively covered his head.

“I was wrong… … ! Wrong! I won’t be seen again, so please take your life… … !!!”

I prayed with all my might.

However, Verden did not stop.

Marco’s eyes widened violently.

‘me… … Are you dying now? Like people who just died?’

Tears flowed involuntarily.

It was not the time to save face as a former knight. His heart had already collapsed as if it were about to collapse.

If this is a dream, Marco cried out in silence, hoping to wake up soon.

“… … ?”

However, the pain did not come even after time passed.

I really wanted to die in the meantime, but… … The sensation is still felt. The floor of Loapra, which had been cracked open, came into her vision blurry with tears.

Marco carefully raised his head.

The sound of footsteps approaching in front of me becomes distant. Verden, clad in a platinum robe, was also moving away.

“uh… … uh?”

Did you save me? why?

Countless possibilities flashed through my mind, but none fit perfectly. Suddenly, Marco looked at him.

A servile figure crouching endlessly on his knees.

no way.

“If you don’t want to die, kneel down, it was true… … ?”

There is no other reason than that.

No matter how you think about it, it was.

The power drained from Marco’s body.

A sense of relief that the liver had survived anyway washed over his whole body. I felt like I was about to faint, but I couldn’t.

I might die if I lose my posture in the middle.

“ah… … .”

Marco looked up at the sky.

A shattered loafra shimmered at the edge of my vision. I still hoped it was a dream… … What I saw was the stark reality.

The cruel nightmare was also real.

Aaaaaang!

A harsh explosion hit my eardrums.

When I blankly rolled my eyes, I saw that the huge castle gate had collapsed miserably.

Wintert Street and Loapra fall.

Marco quietly put his hands together.

I prayed to a God I hadn’t normally looked for.

“please… … !”

Please put an end to this nightmare.
