Episode 296: The Understanding (1)

After the floor he was standing on collapsed, Verden plummeted into darkness.

Straight away, he maintained his posture with and put his strength into Orient. As a result, he pushed the sword of the crescent moon to the side, but he was already quite far from his original place.

The cliffs hidden beneath Wellstown were quite deep.

Of course, it was a short distance for Verden.

If you think about it, you can easily get out of it.

“… … .”

Verden raised his head and narrowed his brows.

coo… … coo… … .

A slight vibration is felt from above.

It must have been a battle between the swordsman sent by the Bohemirn Magic Tower and Kendras.

However, each time the impact occurred, the surrounding terrain shook unsteadily.

He immediately spread his mana and concentrated his mind.

Thanks to the assailant’s rampage, it seems that the magic blocking device that was installed was damaged.

They succeeded in detecting parts of Wellstown’s basement without much difficulty.

A long-abandoned underground structure. A natural crack located beneath it.

And even the aftermath of the battle that is stimulating the underground. Even if there is a land mage, it is clearly felt that the terrain is transformed with magical power.

Based on the information obtained, a decision was made.

‘If you don’t, it will collapse.’

Even if Wellstown does not collapse entirely, it is highly likely that it will be divided.

Of course, all the buildings on top of it would fall underground, and the residents who lived there would die instantly.

I don’t know exactly when it will happen.

Depending on the variables, it could be soon or later. Whatever it was, there was no reason to neglect the risk factor.

coo coo… … !

It is not necessary to completely change the entire structure by pouring mana into it.

It is enough to firmly reinforce areas that are prone to collapse and construct additional terrain capable of withstanding the load.

A mana manipulation ability that has reached its peak, a mana circuit that is on the verge of transcendence, and a brain that can handle multiple magic calculations.

Verden’s strength was not only the overwhelming amount of horse power.

“… … So you’re late trying to save the town from collapsing?”

“okay.”

“… … .”

Rebecca was at a loss for words.

Normally, I would dismiss it as bullshit, but the results are right in front of my eyes.

‘If you are a 6th tier elemental wizard, this is possible… … ?’

I’ve never been near it, so I don’t know.

I haven’t heard from Master and the higher ups of the Society in detail about the power that can be seen at that level… … Shall I ask you later when you return to the headquarters?

‘… … ! This is not the time.’

Rebecca, dazed, barely managed to shake off her thoughts.

“Ah, anyway, the garbage that just flew away is the swordsman who kidnapped the Dominion Lord?”

“trash?

“It is garbage because it tried to kill the villagers. That’s because he threw a sword at the kid who came out after hearing the commotion? Aren’t you a crazy fuck? If we’re even a little late… … !”

Rebecca’s eyes flashed with contempt. Full of sincerity in feelings.

Ethan and Rebecca, whom I had seen in the Midlos Dominion, felt more altruistic than wizards living in the current era.

The Society, which is against the current Mage Tower system, seemed to have a glimpse of its basis.

‘by the way.’

Verden moved his gaze.

The road where the dust settled. Unlike when we first met, the swordsman with her face exposed staggered and glared at Verden.

A sharp breath exhaled as he shrugged his shoulders.

At first glance, it was not normal.

Obviously, the previous shock was not that great. Seeing her emaciated body, it must have been that she was not in good shape from the start.

‘Nevertheless, within a few minutes of being away, Kendras was murdered.’

Seeing as they came up here from the basement of Wellstown, it was clear that a fierce battle had taken place. However, compared to that, the three corpses were in an extremely clean state.

As if it was over in an instant.

It meant that he was hiding his real ability, or that he had at least one trump card. The possibility of both cannot be ruled out.

Based on accumulated experience, it was Verden’s confidence.

He is an unusually powerful person.

“I deal with the author. Join Ethan and watch the residents.”

It was a big commotion, but few people came out.

He is scared and locks himself in the house to protect himself. It was the way most people, not just the residents of Wellstown, lived.

Still, there are people out on the streets.

A middle-aged man crying out someone’s name. The family of the child Rebecca and Ethan saved, most likely the parents.

Rebecca looked at him and pulled her chin.

“… … all right. Then please.”

The voice goes back.

Alone, Verden slowly lowered her altitude and stepped on the ground.

The two confronted each other at a distance.

“For now———”

cooong!

A swordsman with a rusty sword shot forward.

The life that gradually becomes blurry and shuts up. It was a speed that exceeded Verden’s torso vision.

‘Are you saying there’s no need to talk?’

No questions and answers.

So far, there was nothing to say about Verden’s attitude towards various enemies.

Verden, who narrowed his eyes, slammed Orient to the floor.

Dark purple waves spread out in a circle, distorting gravity.

Verden is a mage who specializes in elements. If you can’t accurately capture the opponent’s movement, just blow the whole area around you.

“… … !!”

The body of the swordsman rushing forward came to mind.

As he hurriedly raised his spirit and tried to resist the magic, a shadow fell in front of his feet.

When he raised his head, he encountered an unknown magic circle floating on the wall.

There are over a thousand residents in this neighborhood.

Moreover, he is cold-blooded enough to kill even a child without hesitation. In other words, Wellstown is not suitable as a battlefield.

so.

“We change places.”

Verden swung Orient.

Kwaaaaaaang!

A powerful shockwave that rips through the atmosphere.

The torrent of gravity that swept the swordsman Adrian soared into the sky.

* * *

Suddenly an old teaching comes to mind.

───Adrian, I heard that you subdued a group of bandits not too long ago. He heard that there are third-tier wizards among them. Did you have any difficulties?

───Not at all. Because he cut it down before he could use his magic.

Wizards cause various phenomena with magical powers, but their senses are far behind those who have awakened to qi.

Adrian was born with extraordinary agility.

The 17-year-old did not consider the wizard his opponent.

───Hmm, was he an inexperienced person who only raised the hierarchy? It’s a waste. Hopefully, it could have been a good experience.

───What does that mean, Master?

───Magicians are very difficult enemies for swordsmen. This is especially true for those who have reached the 3rd tier or higher and use . To shoot magic at a distance where the sword couldn’t reach. If you meet such a person, how will you deal with him?

Adrian’s troubles were short-lived.

───… … I guess I’ll just have to cut it down before it flies away.

───That is the correct answer. One of many correct answers. Other than that, there are methods such as waiting until all mana is consumed, dragging it into a space-limited place, or shooting it down with a sword strike. But, like us, there is a class among wizards.

Master continued.

───Magicians who have reached the level use more naturally than walking. If you add more talent and effort to it, you can even use a triple cast that activates three magics at the same time while flying in the sky. That means you can freely adjust the allocation of the magic circuit.

───… … .

───Magic bombardment pouring down from the sky. It’s the most feared tactic in war. If you are, can you afford it?

I couldn’t answer right away this time.

It was the first time I’d ever tried it, but the more I thought about it, the more I got frustrated. Aside from whether he could win, he wasn’t even sure if he could escape safely.

It was Adrian’s lack of experience.

───How is it? Is your head complicated? It will. But there are sorcerers in this world who are far more dangerous than that. They are those who stay on earth, not in heaven.

───Yes? If you just trick your eyes into approaching… … .

───I’m not talking about those who lack skills like the thief you subjugated. Whether it’s arrogance or confidence, I’m talking about real people who are confident in their own strength. They turn even melee combat, where they are clearly at a disadvantage, into a battleground of advantage by turning it into a magical arena.

The master put a hand on Adrian’s shoulder.

───So, if you encounter a mage walking the land, be careful, Adrian. Maybe it’s a monster you can’t handle.

It was thoughtful advice.

It was then that the missing voice disappeared.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!

After being thrown out of Wellstown, Adrian collided with a deserted mountain range.

Smashed trees and large scars on the ground. It was pushed all the way and destroyed part of the forest before it could be stopped.

“Keugh… … .”

Adrian stood up and got down on one knee.

Just before being hit by the magic, the whole body was wrapped in a membrane, but it was impossible to completely block the shock.

A dull pain piercing the pit.

Even the armor protecting the torso was severely damaged.

“───!”

Instinct sounds the alarm.

Four red spheres flew towards Adrian, who suddenly raised his head.

Quadra Casting.

Aaaaaaaang!

A violent explosion hit the mountain range.

Flames ravenously devoured nature. Verden landed in the center of the forest that had turned into a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

Byeok-an, who had been staring at the front, slanted to the left.

Hwaaak!

Adrian, who broke through the flames, rushed from the side.

Although there was scorching all over the body, it seemed that there was no major damage. The moment I was about to respond, I suddenly kicked off the ground and accelerated.

cooong! It was before the shaking of the ground had even disappeared.

Adrian caught Verden’s back at a speed beyond recognition.

‘Kendras got hit by this.’

A blade aimed at the back of the neck.

Along with him, the Mystic Eyes flickered.

Heat spreading in all directions.

The intense light temporarily took away my vision.

As a result, Adrian’s blow missed, and Verden, who had rotated half a turn while lowering his stance, swung his left arm.

A heavy sword echoes in the claws of cold air imbued with lightning.

Adrian, who could not stand the force and was pushed out, groaned deeply. Gathering his energy, he vigorously resisted the chill and electric shock that penetrated him.

That too is a gap.

Mana rages and the senses resonate.

In the light blue eyes looking forward, I could see 24 lightning streaks hanging in the air.

should not be allowed

Adrian, who had bitten his teeth, brightened his eyes.

arts, wild dance.

A flamboyant sword dance that leaves a purple afterimage.

The sword energy manifested from the sword destroys magic. Adrian, who had cut down every single one of the lightning bolts, took a hard breath, revealing a strong life force.

Verden watched his opponent.

‘The speed alone is overwhelming.’

It’s a swordsman I’ve never encountered before.

The way of handling body movements and energy that is difficult to follow even with enhanced senses. In terms of level alone, he clearly surpasses Grond, the former ruler of Loapra.

‘The opponent is a swordsman who uses extreme pleasure.’

I had never heard that the Bohemian Magic Tower had a relationship with a person of such skill.

In the first place, Baloch Bessias is such a person.

He is a transcendentalist with the arrogance of rejecting those who do not meet the standards of wizard supremacy and innateism that prioritizes the hierarchy, and despises non-magicians.

It was impossible for such an existence to trust the swordsman in front of him, who was neither a wizard nor a mage.

Even though it was a mission to annihilate the hostile forces of the Mage Tower, it was especially disturbing that there were no other guards around.

There was one more question.

‘… … What the hell is that?’

You feel something unpleasant about the other person. Ever since we met.

Whether it was magical power or something else, it was so vague that I couldn’t tell what it was, but I couldn’t ignore it.

Because I feel like I’m feeling deja vu for some reason.

So I’m not going to kill him.

If he had been prepared to do so from the beginning, the entire mountain range would have been devastated by magic bombardment.

It was possible for Verden, who had magical power comparable to that of a transcendent.

subdued and captured.

The direction has already been set.

even if it takes a little time.
