Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 321

Episode 321 War Road (1)

The status of a transcendent is only reserved for those who have attained awakening.

It is an absolute presence that can be imbued with the power of each person and exert a powerful influence on other living beings.

It is impossible for those who have not reached the level to dare to maintain consciousness.

Verden brought back memories of the past.

Everything from facing the two transcendents and being overwhelmed, to finally overcoming one and releasing the shackles of the other.

Such experiences are acquired intact and melted into the body.

Of course, it is impossible to obtain the status of a semi-transcendentalist.

However, it is different when it comes to the amount of magical power that is close to that of a transcendental person. Although it may not be possible to fully reproduce it, it was possible to forcefully imitate it.

However, it is relatively rough.

shit, shit… … !

The floor of the arena where Verden is stepping on cannot stand and cracks.

The blue magical energy that shimmers vividly that wraps around the whole body. Soon, a torrent of force shook the atmosphere, and the whole space began to vibrate.

Unprecedented pressure spreads in all directions.

power pressure.

basic mana manipulation.

It is one of the methods that wizards mainly use when they do not directly confront magic and make the other person aware of the gap.

───!

dump.

The ark candidate has collapsed.

Even though he was a person who went beyond the 4th rank lieutenant and was looking at the top, it was only for a moment that his consciousness was blown away.

The same goes for other wizards at the same level as him.

Theodore, who was only second in rank, had long since had his eyes turned upside down.

A shock like a blow to the soul.

The mages who barely managed to catch their spirits broke into a cold sweat.

“To think that the measuring instrument would be destroyed in an instant… … ! If you hit the maximum, you’ll be at the top of the 5th rank? That’s at least level 6… … Isn’t that the top of the 6th rank?!”

“Even so, it makes no sense… … ! I had never heard or reported that even a 6th tier possessed this much magical power… … ! That magical power is more than that———”

Whoaaaaagh!

The wave of magic resonated again.

Right after that, a tsunami of magical power that was stronger than before came crashing in.

“Gagging… … !”

Even they fainted after resistance.

It was a natural result. Not only is there a difference in level, but they have magical powers, so the pressure from was inevitably greater.

However, it was the same for those who had awakened to the fact that they could not endure it.

“Shut up… … !!!”

The limit has arrived.

A suppressed scream burst out.

Knock, knock.

The weapons that supported each one’s center crumbled together with the owner.

People who lost their minds appeared one after another.

Leila groaned deeply as she left behind the fallen Locke dripping with drool. The tip of her sword rested on her floor, and even as she knelt down on one knee, the trembling did not stop.

I raised my head very hard.

In the center of the arena, around the gray-haired man, immeasurable magic power swirled.

‘this… … The power that Asher has… … ?’

It’s hard to believe even though I’ve experienced it myself.

It was because he was on a completely different level from the wizard he had been through the ordeal with the year before last.

How could he have gained such power in less than two years… … It didn’t even reach the thought. For she was all about holding on with her whole heart.

That was then.

In an instant, the feeling of intimidation disappeared.

“ha… … ha… … .”

Leila, exhausted, sat down on the floor.

The lungs shook as the breath that had been blocked was released. Other candidates did the same. The sound of heavy breathing came from all around.

Other than that, there was just silence.

Verden, who had absorbed his magic, raised his head.

Out of dozens of candidates, very few are starkly different.

‘Is there a total of 6 candidates who have not been affected by ?’

two mages.

The rest, including Leila, are four.

All of them showed signs of hardship, but in different degrees.

While there were those who were exhausted and collapsed, there were also those who only stumbled and remained centered.

Of course, there was a look of astonishment on his face.

It would be natural to choose an opponent for an exchange battle from among them.

Unfortunately, I didn’t mean to.

The reason Verden revealed his realm was to evaluate the candidates for the ark as well as to stimulate the ark’s power.

Maybe because I didn’t know if I could face them.

The plan worked.

As a result, doubts were confirmed.

There are six candidates who can maintain their sanity, but there are a total of seven people who have endured .

Verden said.

“I was told to nominate an opponent from among those gathered here.”

Turning his head, he met eyes full of joy.

“Then is it okay to have an exchange match with someone who is not a candidate?”

Only the woman in charge of the exchange exhibition was standing calmly on the stage.

She suddenly rubbed her hand.

Wiping away the sweat, she licked her lips.

“Ha ha ha… … !”

The joy was soon revealed.

“I thought it would be different from normal candidates, but I never thought I would make the candidates that way without having a proper exchange. Unlike what it looks like, it’s bold, but in a good way, the amount of magical power that completely betrays expectations… … ! I like it very much.”

The woman took a step forward.

“But do you know who I am?”

“I do not know. Except that the captain, elder or one of the hidden powers of the ark.”

“The scope is too wide. Well, there is a correct answer though.”

He shrugged and parted his lips.

“I am one of the captains of the Ark, Legrit Narsilia.”

Yellowish white hair.

The golden eyes staring into Verden’s walls flickered.

“Call me Legrit.”

* * *

The Captain of the Ark is not well known to the candidates.

It was the same as the face and the name. In the first place, I had nothing to face with them, so I couldn’t find out even if I wanted to know.

But now it’s right in front of you.

In the center of the arena where exchange battles are held.

“That person… … No, he’s the captain… … ?”

The eyes of the six candidates were focused.

Before the shock of Verden’s magical power had gone, he was once again wrapped in surprise. Even so, Legritte didn’t care.

Verden asked.

“I heard that the captain does not reveal his identity as much as possible because he works outside, is that okay?”

“huh? Who did you hear that from?”

Locke had said that before the exchange battle began.

“Ah, Locke. Are you a disciple of Elder Len Balhaag? Well, if you think about it, it’s plausible, but the information is completely wrong. The reason we can’t meet is because there’s no good reason. It’s not like some kind of ark is a group that promotes friendship.”

Legritte raised his gaze.

“Of course, there are things that cannot be revealed, but at least there is no mysticism between the captain and the candidate. Just like now, we will only face each other when the opportunity arises. Like the situation in which you, who overpowered most of the candidates, even singled out me as an opponent for an exchange war.”

“The conditions are difficult.”

“You are the one who fulfilled that. Haha, by the way, an exchange battle between the captain and the candidate. As far as I know, this is the first time in the history of the ark… … .”

she pursed her lips.

“If I can answer your request first, it is possible. In the first place, I didn’t ask you to select only candidates. And the principle of exchange warfare is that the opponent who is pointed out cannot refuse. And to be honest… … A sea of ​​personal welcome.”

welcome?

“I had a lot of questions about you. For example, ancient poetry… … .”

───Legrid.

Suddenly, a voice resounded inside the arena.

A woman’s voice, clear and flawless.

It sounded like he was angry for some reason. It wasn’t the candidates who gathered for the exchange.

As expected, Legritt replied.

“Oh, the reaction is faster than I thought.”

───Explorer. Your role of guiding the candidates’ exchange matches was already decided at the meeting, so there’s no problem. No matter how recklessly you insisted. But having a direct exchange with a candidate is another thing. This is not a negotiated matter, so it is not allowed. So please come back to Exordium right away.

“After you have already been chosen, keep an eye on it. Are you telling me to break the rules of exchange matches?”

seeker and observer.

What role did it play, and was it a title only for captains?

‘Interesting.’

Verden quietly overheard the conversation.

───As you know, there has never been an exchange battle other than between candidates. And it will be the same today. So don’t set a precedent.

“There are no absolute rules in this world.”

───Then it’s over. It’s okay if you break the rules of the exchange match you mentioned. If you don’t want to be punished, you’d better not mess around and come back calmly.

Legritt flinched.

His expression was distorted, and he lowered his head as if he was dead. She whispered very softly, approaching Verden at the same time.

“If we go on like this, it will be over. Even if we ignore it and engage in an exchange battle here, there will soon be interference.”

“what are you saying… … .”

“So I guess it would be good to move places.”

Legritte grabbed Verden’s shoulder.

As her bracelet began to animate, purple runes floated and circled around.

───Searcher, stop now! It’s not just us watching the exchange match right now, but also the elders and masters… … !

“I’m sorry, but it’s already late.”

Towering, runes suspended in the air.

As they all fell vertically, a circular gap filled with darkness was created.

Inside, Legritte and Verden disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if being sucked in.

───Legrid!!!

Quaang!

Along with the sound of hitting the desk, the unknown voice also disappeared.

… … .

Silence fell on the arena.

The remaining candidates stared blankly down.

As they continued their awkward silence, a candidate active as a war mage with a high reputation in the Central Continent rummaged through the inside of his robe.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped away the cold sweat. It quickly got wet.

He let out a deep sigh.

When I looked into my palm, it was trembling slightly.

“I never thought I would feel this way in … … .”

So did the other candidates.

It is a story when there is a certain gap that you can meaningfully pressure your opponent with Ki, Magical Power, and Holy Power.

strong and strong.

It is a method that does not work in confrontation between the two.

That means that this new candidate is that powerful.

I don’t know anything else… … At least one magical power was enough to overwhelm everyone.

Like a being that has reached transcendence.

“Oh, the world is wide.”

An out-of-the-ordinary existence that appears very rarely.

I already knew… … Seeing this, the world felt very unfamiliar to me.

The clock hands move slowly.

With the exception of six candidates, the other candidates are still unconscious.

A desolate landscape as if a storm had passed.

… … I’m tired.

* * *

A large island floating in the middle of the cloud-covered expanse.

On top of it, unlike Ark, there were no buildings, no human presence, and no common trees.

There was only rocky terrain and green moss.

Verden asked Legritte.

“Where is this place?”

“It is my personal space. It was fixed in space in a special way, and its durability was extremely enhanced by increasing the density of the ground as much as possible. It is suitable for use as a stage for training or sparring because it is neither shattered nor broken by a moderate impact. How is it, isn’t it wonderful?”

He made Sky Island his training ground.

I don’t think it’s just to the point of being cool.

well, anyway.

“They say they will make it a problem if they engage in exchanges with candidates. Are you okay?”

“It will definitely lead to punishment. But can you be bound by such things and restrict your actions? And isn’t this the situation you wanted too?”

That was right.

Even though it could resist space movement, it didn’t.

‘Searcher, Legrit.’

captain of the ark.

The highest power of the Ark, which has reached the end after overcoming countless trials.

It’s harder to gauge the level than anyone I’ve ever met, except for transcendentalists. Both external strength and internal mental strength.

It feels like an existence that has reached its limits both inside and out.

Legritte stepped forward.

“Asher, I care more about you than you expected. There are many reasons, but especially in relation to overcoming in the Tomb of the King of Sorcery, which even Terrence could not overcome.”

“If it’s Terrence… … .”

“A mage who was the captain of the ark in the past. When we tried to increase the number of captains from five to six, he was the candidate for the position. She didn’t officially rise like us, so although she was immature in many ways, she believed that someday she would rise to the same position… … . It’s already been 7 years since that guy died in the Tomb of the King of Darkness. He was nice.”

Turning around, she smiled.

“Anyway, in that sense, I was very curious. How the 5th tier wizard, who had not even reached the level of magic, overcame the ancient ordeal and what he gained from it. Well, it’s a matter of personal curiosity. Because that’s me, a person called Legrit.”

The distance widened.

The two confronted each other.

“Do I need to prepare anything else?”

“No need.”

anger.

The subspace is opened.

Holding the summoned Orient, Verden looked straight ahead.

‘What kind of magic will I use?’

The power of the opponent is unknown.

There is no carelessness. Increased concentration and attracted mana.

It was then.

Wow!

Legritte kicked the ground.

At the same time as rushing at a speed enough to leave an afterimage, Verden immediately heard Orient.

Whoa!

Fist clashing with staff.

The shock pushed Verden back. The sound of metal was transmitted to the fingertips.

Right now, Legritte feels magical power.

Not only that, but even the mage’s unique presence.

‘However, the previous blow was not caused by magic or mana.’

Questions naturally arise.

Regret said to Verden’s reaction.

“As you feel, I am a passionate mage.”

and.

“He is also a being who has awakened his qi.”

tile and horsepower.

A person who has trained conflicting powers.

“Asher, I heard something about your tactics. Not only does he use elemental magic from a distance, but in close combat, he wields his staff and moves just as well.”

Legritte tapped the necklace.

“The exchange exhibition is literally a place for exchange. The goal is to learn from others while proving yourself. In that sense, it is clear that I am the right person for your opponent.”

A bright light pours out.

In the blink of an eye, a golden armor that perfectly suited her body wrapped around her.

The ruler of the Western Continent, the Arnak Empire.

Among the strong people they have, there is a special being called ‘Rod’.

Legritte was one of them.

Among the wizards, the pinnacle of the War Mage, who uses unique combat methods by combining magic and martial arts.

“Do your best. I will not kill you.”

War Lord, Legrit Narsilia.

The momentum of the attack while holding a golden staff and exploding energy and mana was truly formidable.

But Verden is also one of the mighty beings.

‘I will not kill you.’

Verden knocked down Orient.

“Neither do I.”

harbinger of disaster.

The ground in contact with the staff shakes.

Right after that, a dark light exploded and swallowed Verden and Legrit.
