Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 526



Only Noblemtl

Episode 526 Purge (1)

There is a clear way to discern whether the surrender that your opponent has put into his mouth is true or false.

Surprise, and subjugation.

If he was sincere in his acceptance of the result, he wouldn’t have tried hard to resist, but if he was pretentious, he would have struggled with all his might.

The important thing here is not to give anyone time to sort out the confusion.

* * *

Karindin Lerhar did not go to the Great Hall right away as he had told Melad, but changed direction midway.

Phew.

We set foot on a makeshift underground base hidden beyond the magical cloaking with our escorts. Inside, there were dozens of people.

When the news of Dark Moon’s victory was delivered, the remnants of the opposing Transcendent Ones… … to be exact, they were a slaughter force gathered to completely erase all traces of the old Black Hour, including Melad Tastyen.

But the plan went awry.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the ominous atmosphere. In front of them, Karindin calmly told them the results of the magic battle.

The reaction was immediate.

“Dahit… … What? Die?”

Mabel’s eyes twitched rapidly when she heard the news. She wasn’t the only one. Soon, the turmoil came crashing down on her like a tidal wave.

Dark Moon was defeated… … ?

In a situation that was truly impossible, in a reality that was completely unexpected, confusion and shock spread like a terrible epidemic.

Mabel, who had recovered from the mental shock first, asked rationally.

“What happened to that Transcendent being? Did you kill him?”

Whatever the case, having confronted Dahit head-on, the successor brought by Melad would not only be mortally wounded, but would also be completely unable to do anything more.

Even if you are a transcendent being, if you are pushed to the brink of death, you can kill them with the destructive power of a 6th rank magician.

Karindin shook his head.

“I tried to do that… … but before I could do anything, it teleported somewhere.”

“You call that an excuse?”

“I had no choice either. It was impossible to gamble when Melad and his escorts were wide-open. And I saw Dahit’s death up close. Mabel, even if it was you, you would have been helpless and unable to do anything at that moment!”

“… … .”

Mabel was about to say something, but then looked around and closed her mouth. It would be bad to see any signs of division here.

At least for now.

As the conversation took a brief lull, a senior officer cautiously spoke. It was the man who had betrayed the original members along with Dahith, following Karindin and Mabel in the past.

“Then, what should we do now? If things continue like this… … .”

“Most of us will survive. The succession ceremony was used to completely absorb the Black Hour force, so we won’t be wiped out. However, some of us will definitely be killed.”

If it’s obvious, then it’s obvious.

Should we really leave them alone, after they committed such merciless massacres on the day of our usurpation?

you’re welcome.

There is a high chance that they will all be executed or worse.

‘A sit-in in the main hall is impossible.’

Because with Dahit’s death, the position of the master of the Great Hall became vacant immediately, but the only key to registering the owner of the first control right was on Dahit’s body.

The Great Hall is no longer safe.

A space enveloped in silence.

Karindin, who had been deep in thought, soon nodded slightly.

“… … Let’s go back to the Great Hall for now. We still have time, so shouldn’t we make the most of it? I have other plans.”

All Black Hour members are currently gathered in the hallway of the Great Hall. We will first resolve the confusion and discuss the direction.

Karindin’s few words cleared the air of confusion. It was Dahit’s trust in his teacher and top executive.

“Then prepare to move.”

“yes.”

Magicians who are experts in magic circles, including executives, each create a space movement circle from a designated location.

Originally, only those who have transcended magic are permitted to personally create such a magic circle, but if there are multiple beings, even beings of a lower rank can do so.

Meanwhile, the first two members slipped away. Mabel whispered to Karindin in a small voice.

“There’s no such thing as a countermeasure.”

“That’s right. There’s no way something like that could happen.”

Karindin asserted.

“The black hour is already over.”

It is different from the past when Black Hour was operated by an 8-person system.

The center of the current Black Hour is solely Dahit Westroel, and it has been too long since he solidified into a one-man system.

Without Dahit, there is no way to maintain the current group.

“So what should we do? Run away?”

“I can’t just wait for death like a death row inmate. They can buy me enough time.”

By using the gap created by the Black Hour forces that had lost their heads, he completely shakes off Melad’s pursuit.

I haven’t decided where I’m going yet, but that’s not really a problem. Even if I reveal that I’m from Black Hour, there are plenty of places to go to.

The upper and middle-level magicians of the 6th tier are the elders of the magic tower.

“Well, that might be for the best.”

Mabel did not object at all, but rather assessed it as reasonable. Her reason was as cold as ever.

The secret meeting took place quietly.

After a while, the two people who received the report that the foundation of the magic circle was completed started walking.

Then, he added the power of the second control zone of the Great Hall, where only the top executives were registered, to the space movement.

The light flashes.

The magic circle was completed as the magic formula rose naturally inside the frame.

This made it possible to enter the Grand Hall by fixing and recognizing its spatial coordinates, which cannot be accurately observed from the outside.

Hwaaaaaaaah!

It was right after I activated the magic circle.

“… … ?!”

Kwaaaaaaaah!

A massive shockwave caused the ceiling to collapse, sending gusts of wind blasting through.

While the two wizards of the Black Hour blocked the aftermath from the front, the remaining dozens of elites each activated their magic circuits.

Karindin squinted his eyes, staring at the rising dust cloud.

“… … Isn’t it too soon for our reunion?”

[I guess you expected that. That I wouldn’t trust you and let you go.]

The skeleton formed by bones of non-humans, such as humans, beasts, and heteromorphs, and the moisture that covers the entire skeleton like skin.

An Ark Lich appeared, seemingly made of water. It was an unfamiliar entity, but the nature of its magical power was all too familiar.

Melad Tastien.

She appeared with consciousness granted to the undead, and was followed by a considerable crowd. The number was clearly greater than that of the elite members of Black Hour gathered here.

Karindin didn’t show it on the outside, but inside she was in turmoil.

‘How did Melad find this place? Was he following me? No way. I haven’t felt any magical reactions until now… … ?’

In many ways, it was incomprehensible, but the danger right in front of me was more important.

“So what’s going on here?”

[We have come to confirm whether the defeat you have admitted is genuine. Disarm and follow our instructions. We will not harm you as long as you cooperate obediently. This offer applies not only to you two, but to all of you.]

“Everyone… … .”

Mabel slowly bent her wrist, caressing the wand hidden inside her sleeve, and turned slightly to the side.

“I don’t know how you managed to fool Karindin and come here, but you’re planning to take him by surprise and subdue him first. That’s reasonable. You’ve changed a lot since then, haven’t you?”

[Rather than a surprise attack, I came to give you one last chance.]

“……opportunity?”

[Don’t run away, take responsibility for everything you’ve done… …so that I can truly forgive you.]

forgiveness.

Mabel let out an involuntary laugh at the unfamiliar word.

“Isn’t it too brutal to say that?”

[Resistance is not recommended.]

“Really? Then… … .”

Mabel pretended to be troubled as she measured the intensity of the light emitted from the already activated spatial magic circle.

It takes about 2 minutes to transfer to the main hall.

If we could just hold out for that long, we could escape the siege right away. Of course, there was no option to give up and be captured.

Because I didn’t want to die.

Phew.

At that moment, the space teleportation line leading to the Great Hall suddenly stopped. Even Mabel couldn’t hide her shock at the unexpected phenomenon.

“You’d better give up on wasting time. It’s pointless.”

As Karindin reflexively turns his gaze straight ahead, a woman with dark green hair and a full face walks forward with her left hand extended.

The back of her hands and wrists were adorned with ‘strange accessories’ set with twinkling jewels.

‘The author is… … .’

Even though it was my first time seeing it, I could guess its identity.

It must be that monstrously strong magician who invaded the depths of the Great Hall with the Transcendent One and stole the [Eternal Hourglass].

Isabella lifted her chin slightly.

“And we’re going to use that moving part.”

“What… … ?”

“But let me ask you again. You have no intention of surrendering, do you?”

A heavy silence falls.

It was clear that this was an ultimatum. The wavering pupils of the Black Hour Slaughter Squad turned to Karindin and Mabel.

‘The accessory worn by that magician must have been the cause of the forced halt in space travel.’

So, it should be dealt with as a top priority.

As Karindin let out a small breath, releasing the strength from her body───she opened her magic and pulled out her staff with lightning speed.

Boiling flames.

But someone moving at a similar speed got very close to Karindin and blocked the flames.

“As expected from one of the first members, his actions are quicker than he looks.”

An old man with a white beard that reaches down to his chest and wields a staff longer than an adult’s height.

He was one of those who had been hiding his identity while participating in the dialogue where the two forces had previously confronted each other… …but his appearance is familiar.

Karindin soon remembered who he was.

I have never met him in person.

As someone who lived in the same era, I had seen it from afar.

“… … War Lord!”

“I’m just saying.”

Kwaaaaaaaang!

The two people entangled at close range and disappeared through the wall. Next, the Archlich and Mabel, who were imbued with the consciousness of Melard, collided.

Kagagak.

Mabel placed two strange curved swords with sword-like hilts on the ground to slow their flight.

She also ended up getting away from Idongjin.

[The opponent is folding, Mabel.]

“Tch… … !”

The offer was rejected.

This was the beginning of a clash between the two forces. With over 100 wizards combined, a large-scale magical battle took place, and in an instant, the underground stronghold became a mess.

The remaining ceiling gradually collapses.

The aftermath of magic colliding with magic blurred my vision.

Isabella, who dug into the commotion, froze the two Black Hour wizards and climbed onto the empty space teleporter.

widely.

The moment I fully released the magic and placed my left palm directly on the magic circle, a strange change occurred.

The space movement magic circle that had been stopped randomly has started moving again.

‘As expected, it’s amazing.’

By eroding the magic power of nature, you can hide your magic reactions, or even interfere with the opponent’s magic or magic circle.

A new hand chain-shaped artifact based on a dragon’s rib, created through collaboration between the legendary dwarf G’Harun and his disciple.

The Sentence of Domination, [Elderon].

Extending the range of magic was the most basic effect of this artifact.

“now!”

Under the strict protection of the Society, about 20 to 30 people rushed in and took their places next to Isabella.

Its members included Junia, Cain, Grave, Alderis, Ophea, and the guardian sage Medrant, along with the highest elder of the Ostea Tower he had brought with him.

Flash!

A bright purple flash exploded, obscuring the surrounding vision. As darkness fell again, Isabella and her party were nowhere to be seen.

‘I don’t know how, but the magic circle’s control was taken away.’

Karindin, who had no way to stop Osgar’s persistent interference, stepped back hastily and raised his voice.

To Mabel, to be exact.

“Run away!”

The elite Black Hour soldiers who received the order hurriedly disperse. Likewise, Karindin and Mabel, who gave up the fight, run away with all their might.

The chase has begun.

Osgar said as he chased after the two original members along with Melard.

“If we just pretend to chase after them and corner them, things will go as planned. But is it okay if you don’t finish them off?”

“The Divine has given me the opportunity to take charge of Karindin and Mabel. What more could I ask for? My role ends here.”

Melad activated the communication device.

“Please.”

The response was immediate.

───Okay, I understand.

The Heavenly Sword, Adrian Chanvers moves.

With a new sword.
