Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 258



Only Noblemtl

Episode 258: Dream (3)

Silis’s magic prepared to kill Leonil and his aides, .

Confined in a dark and closed space, their minds wear out over time and eventually betray each other.

2nd seat in the Royal Court Wizards, Rachel.

He was born into an affluent family, and his parents who gave birth to him also lived a very wealthy life and died of old age.

To enjoy the life of heaven bestowed by the goddess Luas is an unprecedented feat.

Rachel, who asked for prayers from a member of the bishopric of the Church of Luas and held a luxurious funeral for her parents, was a filial son.

At least within his family.

Rachel has lived a life that lacks nothing.

With a huge fortune on his back, he traveled to and from many countries and harvested learning, and after that, he came to fruition as one of the three most powerful members of the court magicians.

Thanks to that, my hands were stained with blood from countless magic studies, but no one held me accountable. He had no one who came to him with a grudge.

Rachel was in that position, and she was part of that group.

‘I did… … .’

Rachel stared blankly at Heinel in the first seat.

The image of her boss tearing her mother apart with magic flickers in front of her eyes.

Memories that did not exist were firmly embedded in my brain. She shook her head vigorously, but far from being forgotten, it became clearer.

‘What the heck is this memory!’

Confused, Rachel stepped back.

Leonil was reflected in his vision as he turned his head.

The strongest in the kingdom and the only thing that Rachel fears.

With no time to do anything about it, the memory of him burning his father alive is forced into his mind.

“ah… … !”

A voice I haven’t heard in a long time… The resulting scream pierced the eardrum.

Terrible screams echo incessantly from the flames suddenly erupting right in front of you.

The red father, who had struggled to get out of the deep red sea and had his skin peeled off, staggered towards me like an undead.

and said

───Son, take revenge on the author.

“Turn it off… … turn it off… … !”

Rachel grabbed her face.

quadruped. Fingernails dug into the skin.

Hot blood runs down his face. She tried to deny her memories and emotions somehow, but she couldn’t control it.

The voices of the parents crossed.

───Kill, die, kill, die, kill, die, kill, die.

A whisper touches the soul.

It was difficult to bear any longer.

this revenge.

“Haaaaaaaaaagh!”

Rachel cried out and aimed her staff at Heinel.

As I was calculating magic while increasing my mana, a brilliant staff flew in from the side.

Wow! Rachel, hit in the face, rolled on the floor.

Touching his swollen cheek, he slowly raised his head. Leonil, who made a stern impression, was reflected in the eyes that had returned to reason.

“I’m disappointed, Rachel.”

“ah… … Sin, sorry, sir!”

“Tsk, useless.”

Leonil clicked his tongue and turned his head.

His subordinates, who were confused by the wide release of mana, came to their senses. If you give it a shock like this, it will improve, but… … The interval is gradually getting shorter.

‘If we continue like this, we’ll all become lunatics.’

Leonil bit his lip.

He had been studying the witch’s heart, but it was the first time he encountered witch magic like this.

Seeing as it was undamaged by his flames, the dark space seemed immune to physical harm.

Still, it was self-evident that this unknown magic could not continue forever.

The only thing allowed in this world is the word infinite, except for the magic tower’s power source.

“Ugh… … .”

Leonil touched his temple.

He, too, could not be free from the erosion of the nightmare.

Memories and emotions that have not been experienced rise gently from within. Whispering to kill all the other wizards.

‘Are they inducing division between each other?’

It is a terrible mental magic.

I never thought he would threaten even himself, a 6th tier mage.

It was unknown whether Silis had inherited the witch’s power or when she had prepared such magic.

It was full of incomprehensible things.

In any case, you shouldn’t be left alone like this.

Helplessness was not a word that suited Leonil.

But there is no way out of this darkness… … .

‘No, there is.’

Leonil’s eyes lit up.

I immediately took out the witch’s heart from the space bag.

pounding, pounding.

The pulsation that I have felt many times is transmitted through my sense of touch.

The elves that have been kidnapped so far have been scapegoated, and the processing has been completely completed in the form of an item, but it cannot be used as it is.

‘I have to connect this heart to me.’

In the process, a magic circuit with a specific trait is required.

In addition, a prepared operating table and manpower are needed to transplant the heart normally… … It’s a problem that can’t be helped right now.

So I have no choice but to write a workaround.

yeah, i can’t help it

“Heynel.”

“Go, Your Excellency?”

Leonil grabbed Heinel’s shoulder.

She blinked her eyes in embarrassment at the warm touch.

“It was like that in the past when you joined the Court Magicians. You will become my limbs, so please give me the honor, power, and strength to match.”

“yes… … ? Oh yes, it was… … Joe.”

Heinel had a strong lust for power.

As such, she assisted Leonil’s side and lived a life that no noble would dare to enjoy.

The first rank in the court mage corps.

It was because he was number two among them, including Leonil.

For Heinel, not only the present but also the future was guaranteed.

Using the kingdom as a shield, she studies magic without any restrictions until she dies.

Even if it means abandoning humanity.

In an instant, the hair stood up.

Heinel carefully looked down and saw the crystal.

I didn’t know the identity of this heart-rending blue crystal, but I knew very well that Leonil had been clinging to it for a long time.

‘And for him———’

Heinel’s eyes widened as if they would tear.

“You, please… … !”

“I didn’t want to do this, but I can’t help it.”

Leonil put on a sad expression.

The attitude that there is no room for turning one’s mind. She cut off her hand with a single stroke and began to resist, activating her magic circuit.

I honestly thought that this might happen. Because unique trait holders are so rare.

So, Heinel did his best to find another retainer, and dedicated several wizards to Leonil.

‘That’s why I die as a test subject? Do not be ridiculous… … !!’

Feeling betrayed and what?

Heinel struggled to survive, calculating magic without hesitation. He caught the player, so he must have been hurt too.

As a 5th tier unique trait mage, she was strong.

But there was no change.

Leonil’s flames poured sharply.

Even among the 5th, 6th, and 1st ranks, the gap in power is overwhelming. The time to endure was only a moment.

Heinel, whose skin and muscles were completely burned, collapsed to the floor with a gasping sound.

“I will not remember your sacrifice.”

Leonil took out a metal stake and drove it into Heinel’s body.

Head, arms, legs, and heart, a total of six. A special artifact made portable through direct improvement.

Whoaaaaaaaagh!

When the device was activated, Heinel’s magic resistance was temporarily erased.

With , he grabbed and pulled up things spread throughout his body that were hidden. A bundle of blue nerves, like plant stems, came out of the torn body.

A magic circuit with a special trait.

‘Ignore the side effects.’

Leonil wrapped a magic circuit around the staff and the right arm holding him.

Then, he manipulated the mana with his left hand and carried out the implantation.

The heat generated by magical power stings. Before long, the circuitry wrapped itself tightly around the staff, attached itself to the right arm itself, and took root near the heart.

Caang!

Removed the staff’s jewels.

It’s a very expensive item, but I didn’t care about it. The witch’s heart was immediately inserted into the empty spot.

The two hearts began to resonate when the mana was interlocked.

pounding.

“Koo-up?!”

Leonil coughed up blood.

Twisting his body, he desperately endured the excruciating pain that seemed like his whole body would explode. Blood flowed from the two ruptured eyes.

As soon as it became quiet, flames soared from Leonil.

The maddening flame warmly and subtly envelops the skin, the muscles, the bones, and the soul.

“iced coffee… … .”

There is no doubt about it.

It was clear that this was the ‘awakening’ phenomenon he had longed for. A welcome ceremony to congratulate him as evidence of his stepping out of the human realm.

“Ha, ha, finally… … ! Yes, finally!!!”

Leonil covered his face with his left hand.

Amplified power, this sense of stepping into a boundary that could never be crossed! The experiment, which took many years of effort and time, ended in success.

Having finally achieved his dream, he said, wiping away bloody tears.

“All of you, wake up.”

“omg!”

The strong presence of Leonil squeezed the space.

The court wizards, who had been attacking each other due to nightmares, came to their senses at once.

And saw.

The corpse of Heinel, who was brutally murdered, and the figure of Leonil filled with joy.

Fearful gazes gathered, but Leonil did not care. He just nodded his head as he caressed the blue crystal.

“Aha, yes. That’s how you handle it.”

Leonil swung his staff lightly.

The witch’s heart glowed, revealing the darkness of the nightmare.

Damn it.

Part of the dream that had imprisoned them collapsed.

“Hmm, she’s a princess who became a witch.’

Leonil muttered quietly.

As if he had a good idea, he smiled and headed outside without hesitation. I already forgot about Heinel’s existence.

* * *

There are a total of two ways to get out of .

Either wait for the duration to end, or all those who fall into the nightmare will destroy the nightmare itself with the strength of their minds.

The former was not among them.

The spell’s duration is still far from running out.

However, it could not be concluded that it was the latter.

Even if Leonil had killed all the other wizards, it was Sillis’ judgment that his mental strength would not be enough to break through the nightmare.

was the best magic I came to after considering all the possibilities.

‘But to escape from magic.’

And that’s not all.

He even regained his reality in this world made up of .

More than just the appearance of the gray-haired wizard, a situation like this was embarrassing. It was an unexpected variable.

Silis’ expression twisted.

“Leonil, how do you… … !”

“How? To put it bluntly, it’s all thanks to Remien.”

Leonil shook his staff.

The blue jewel connected to his body, from which the sound of his heart could be heard, flickered.

“No way, mother’s———”

heart.

Silis widened her eyes and tightly clenched her fists.

As the fingernails dug into the palms, blood gushed out. As if to kill him at any moment, he gathered his mana.

But I couldn’t move quickly.

The energy I felt from Leonil was so unfamiliar and threatening.

It was the same with Verden who sensed him.

‘Is the author Leonil?’

Contrary to what I heard, her appearance is messed up, but that’s not what she knows.

If Sillis couldn’t deal with it, it’s enough to deal with it yourself as planned, but… … There was one problem.

A presence that could not be passed over caught my ankle.

“hmm?”

Suddenly, Leonil turned his gaze to Verden.

He stared at him quietly, then, as if he knew who it was, he brushed his beard that had grown to his chest.

“Ah, you are that Asher. Was she attached to the princess when Grond complained that he couldn’t find her mouse hole?”

I have no intention of answering.

Verden asked in reverse.

“I thought the marginal hierarchy was the 6th hierarchy. Did you reach the state of transcendence with that heart?”

“transcendence… … ?”

A look of astonishment appeared in Sillis’ eyes.

It must have been quite nice to know the state, Leonil smiled broadly.

“Oh, that feels so good.”

* * *

During the war with the Republic, Leonil was a mage who had reached the bottom of the 6th hierarchy.

Although he wasn’t the leader as he is now, his position was as if it had been confirmed because he was at the top of the 6th level.

However, since they had not reached the tipping point yet, they could not turn the tide of the war alone. Even if he can take care of his own body.

In the meantime, I met Leonil.

About the existence of a witch who amplifies magical power.

I witnessed with my own eyes how wizards with powers that did not fit their level turned the tide of the war.

A must-have item for a magician.

I wanted to get all of them if possible, but I couldn’t.

It was because the new chancellor, who was in charge of witch research, and all wizards and materials related to him disappeared as if they had evaporated.

“Still, I didn’t give up. I continued my research under the command of the King of Estyria. But, as you know, I haven’t seen results. Even though he shattered his queen, even though he annihilated the duchy of Rubinelli. I even went as far as scrapping the experiment… … I didn’t stop.”

Leonil secretly stole the heart, the source of magical power, and studied it.

As time passed, he reached the upper ranks through the 6th lieutenant, became the leader, and after that, after suffering for another 4 years, he came to a clue.

The hierarchy is based on magical power.

In other words, the hypothesis that it might be possible to forcibly raise the hierarchy if mana can be amplified.

“The purpose is not to amplify magical power, but to ‘amplify the hierarchy’.”

There was a possibility other than using the witch’s body to manufacture magic power boosters.

The hypothesis designed by Leonil was ultimately all about connecting the witch’s heart with the wizard’s heart.

“But it was not enough alone. So I revealed the inside story to the king and asked for support directly. Oh, of course, it wasn’t to increase the hierarchy, but to continue the research of the new prime minister. Then he was very happy. More than the fact that he stole the queen’s heart, he was more delighted with the fact that he was able to regain the troops he had obtained during the war.”

Leonil sneered at Sillis.

“Your father, the King of Estyria, was gullible without a doubt. It was very easy to use because a stupid person clings to the false title of being the King of Conquerors. Anyway, the result is this.”

Increased from 6th level to 7th level.

Currently, Leonil has reached the level of a 7th tier mage, that is, transcendence. At least while holding this staff.

“Hahaha, how long have I been waiting for this moment… … Asher, the wizard, you would know.”

“… … .”

“I am transcendent. A true transcendentalist who overcame and surpassed the limits set by him! Neither the arrogant Dark Warton Mage Master, nor any Transcendentalists, nor anyone else in the world can look down on me anymore! And I will rule the world like them.”

Leonil continued.

“Poor princess, it is very reprehensible that you dared to lead me into a trap, but I will forgive you. Her cause is understandable, especially since she has the bloodline and memories of a witch. I don’t know how that was possible, but give up revenge that doesn’t work out and join me. If she does, she will do everything in her power to prosper the witch lineage.”

“Shut that mouth!”

Silis stretched out her hand with an angry face.

I tried to twist my mind and inflict pain, but there was no response.

Tragically, the heart of her beloved mother was protecting Leonil’s mind.

“Hmm, he’s clever, but he resembles his father and has a stupid side. well, good You will need some persuasion in this area. And———”

Leonil’s eyes looked straight at Verden.

“I don’t really need you anymore… … The magic circuits of those with special traits are very rare, so it would be good to keep them for future use.”

“You have too much confidence.”

Magical energy swayed within the walls of Verden.

Leonil, who had blinked his eyes, burst into laughter with an absurd face.

“Ha ha ha ha! Being overconfident, who cares? It was kind of funny and reckless, but it would be too embarrassing for me, a transcendental person, to deal with a small pup like you.”

Leonil stirred the staff.

The air shattered like pieces of glass, and court wizards appeared from within. Strong people who were trapped in nightmares like Leonil.

Thanks to Leonil, they are freed from the nightmare’s influence and are able to have substance in this mental realm.

“Get it clean. So that the magic circuit is not damaged.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

The firm order was deeply embedded in the wizards’ minds.

Right after that, the space where Leonil and Silis had been twisted into a spiral, and the two disappeared as if they were being sucked in.

Apparently, with the heart of a witch, he manipulated this world built by the spirit world. It did not directly affect Verden himself, so there was no room for intervention.

‘When catching him, the first thing to do is to prevent him from escaping.’

One point of caution was engraved in my mind.

It’s surprising that Leonil became a Transcendentalist, but that’s it. Of course, there was no way he would feel any emotions like fear.

‘Anyway, it’s small… … .’

I didn’t expect to hear something like that now.

It was funny rather than unpleasant.

Even though he became a transcendentalist in an unusual way, his eyes were clouded by his overflowing emotions and he couldn’t even properly gauge the opponent’s level.

After thinking, Verden turned around.

The court mages, who moved in an orderly manner, surrounded the surroundings without leaking water. Each wand and staff aimed at only one person.

Verden looked at him and grabbed Orient.
