Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 544

Episode 544 Deception (2)

The back of the Bohemian Tower, ranked 4th in the overall hierarchy and 2nd in the military hierarchy, is full of sacrifice. It is a tower built with blood, flesh, and experiments.

I don’t care.

Inside the Bohemian Tower───For those who are involved in the unofficial experiments with the forced magic circle and the call to action, human experimentation is the most important task.

In the past, I might have felt something like a lump, but now I don’t feel that way. Instead, only curiosity and anticipation remain.

Some of them were forced to undergo horrific, unofficial experiments by the Baloch doctors against their will, and they actually suffered… … but the suffering was only momentary.

There’s nothing I can do.

The magical horizon beyond ethics was so mysterious and fascinating! If you truly pursue magic, you can never reject it.

Guilt?

Mere moral consciousness does not raise the magical level. It only fills one’s vanity by making oneself feel lofty.

Inefficient and pointless.

There is no use.

A wizard should naturally turn away. It is always reason, not emotion, that elevates the world, the group, and oneself.

anyway.

Before undertaking any serious and dangerous magical experiment, high-quality materials are essential. This includes test subjects that are unlikely to die.

This means that if you take good care of it, you can use it for a very long time.

The wizards who safely supplied test subjects through various complicated processes should be happy that their work has been reduced.

“Hohoho, it looks like our Lord Rayshen has finally finished his outing.”

Omar Boldrak, a member of the Bohemian Tower’s elders, Ethium, clapped his hands with a kind expression.

He stared at the wizard, who had reported a contact from one of the Bohemian Tower branches on the central continent, with a half-smile.

“Is it because we move slowly, or because we found something interesting outside? Even though the Lord of the Tower gave us a means to track the call, it took a long time. This can’t be right. There are mountains of experiments to be done in the future. Right?”

“Yes.”

“Hoho, that’s right, that’s right. So hurry up and prepare for the space jump. I have to go get her quickly… … Oh, by the way, I’m curious. How far can that test subject Isabella withstand the potion that I and Master Rayshen are making?”

I look forward to success after success, over and over again, next to a screaming, writhing test subject. Just thinking about it makes me happy and it’s hard to hide my excitement.

“I guess I can look forward to it since you said you were a friend that Croden had missed in the past. I hope the Lord of the Magic Tower will be happy when he returns from the Magic Kingdom. Hohoho.”

Omar, who had been fixing his hair and beard while looking in the mirror, walked slightly faster. The sound of unpleasant laughter moved away from the rooftop.

To the central continent.

* * *

Group 1, who arrived at the lower level of Birente───the underground area without having to go through the gates via the long sewer, secretly gathered together.

The gathering place is a building in a gloomy underground back alley.

Grave, who drew on his experience as a mercenary, personally paid for it and rented it out in its entirety.

Since the underground areas of the Magic City are often the site of secret gatherings, a business renting out places with tight security has developed.

It is difficult to obtain easily.

Not only is the rental fee huge in exchange for taking on a risk, but uninformed customers are likely to get their noses cut off with their eyes open.

As money is an important means for wizards who must gain knowledge and experience, the tone of the magic city is also like that.

Adrian was leaning against the wall next to the window with his arms crossed. His empty eyes were staring at the distant ceiling outside the window.

In the center of the room, Grave and the twenty-four Black Hour Triage Force members were gathered together, going over the plan one last time.

“… … Our targets are three. ‘Gotrick’, the ambassador of Bohemian Tower, ‘Lukerd Maniacs’, the third disciple of Bohemian Tower, and ‘Maron’, who is in charge of Lukerd’s main bodyguard.”

Grave pointed out two distinctive places on the map of the magical city, each district neatly divided into sections.

“If there are no changes to the schedule this afternoon, Gotrick will be attending a meeting at the Magical Association, and Luked will be giving a lecture in the Upper District, where the upper class reside. Marron will be by Luked’s side.”

“This lecture… I want to kill him.”

Adrian revealed a dark look of murderous intent mixed with discomfort.

It was a natural anger.

Because he knew that it was Luker himself who stole the theory of multiple continuities designed by Verden and created the starting point for Verden to be subjected to human experiments.

The wizards of Black Hour, who did not know the inside story of Verden and Bohemirn’s Tower, simply hesitated and lowered their eyes.

Former Central Continent Powerhouse.

The third leader of the Black Hour, the right hand man of the Divine.

The prosecutor who single-handedly purged the first two members of Black Hour.

Even if he wasn’t a wizard, it was a natural reaction for the current members of Black Hour to be as wary as Isabella.

Graves cleared his throat.

“… … Of course I know you won’t, but I’m telling you out of concern that you shouldn’t kill them. Anyway. Unlike the Higher District, it’s impossible to enter the Magic Association quietly. There’s no detour like there is to enter the Magic City. The only way is to attack them head on.”

The finger moved down the map and pointed to the center of the magical city.

To be exact, it was around there.

Ten pillars that surround and protect the Magic Association that governs the city. They are represented by symbols.

“Destroy some of this ‘Security Tower’, infiltrate inside, kill Gotrick in the conference room, and quickly escape.”

It may sound simple, but raiding the Magic Association headquarters is by no means an easy task.

The magical firepower of the first group, which was specialized in single-person combat, could not break down the protective shield of the security tower.

That’s why the ‘insiders’ took action in advance. So that the 1st group outside could break through the security tower and storm in.

There is absolutely no chance that he would betray or even make a mistake. He is capable of doing so and is a trustworthy collaborator.

“And while we deal with Gotrick, Adrian, deal with Maron and secure Lukerd. After that, if we escape from Birente via the escape route we prepared in advance, the plan will be a success. In the process, unplanned killings are strictly prohibited. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Everyone nods their heads in unison.

No one has any complaints. Black Hour has a clear hierarchy.

Adrian said.

“Now all I have to do is wait.”

The signal flare for the raid will be detonated by the 2nd unit deployed on the Magic Tower Union Front.

* * *

“… … They say that Group 1 has arrived at the magical city of Birente and is waiting.”

Levana, a senior member of the Black Hour, turned around and shook her wrist, which was wearing a silver bracelet and a communication device.

Deep in the forest in winter.

Dozens of wizards wearing black robes with the symbol of the Black Hour engraved on them stand and watch from all directions.

Among them were several lower-ranking members of Black Hour who, like Levana, survived the purge intact.

“I will skip over how the plan unfolds, since you have probably heard it over and over again in the Great Hall. I will just relay the final warnings given by the Divine One once more.”

Levana held up three fingers.

“First, destroy only the strongholds of the Western Continent Tower Alliance as much as possible. Second, killing is strictly prohibited unless there is an unavoidable situation. Third, if a variable arises, prioritize life above all else. After all, our goal is not annihilation, but disruption.”

This is something that does not fit with the Black Hour, which is called the group of death wizards in many ways. Even if it is a distraction role, they say that they try to avoid bloodshed in war as much as possible.

I will gladly do one.

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

“Okay. Then I think everyone is ready… … .”

Levana has manipulated the communication device. A unique magical power that cannot be interfered with from the outside is transmitted through the central signal.

She asked politely after confirming that she had connected with the other party.

“Group 1 and Group 2. They are on standby at the Magic City, Birente, and the Western Continent Magic Tower Alliance Front respectively. There are no variables as of now. Can we put our plan into action?”

Silence fell.

Just waiting for an answer made a heavy tension flow away.

Soon a low voice rang out.

───Run it.

Levana set an example.

“I will obey your orders.”

Group 2, which is at the forefront of the plan, moves.

* * *

The front line of the magic war that Black Hour had fled to was extremely quiet and peaceful. It was a peace that had been going on for several months already.

Although the outcome was not completely decided, the prevailing opinion in the magical world was that it was virtually over.

No one doubted that the Magic Tower had won the war between the magical world’s transcendent forces that had lasted for over two years.

However, the incident of a hierarchy breach… … The front line was once again in turmoil due to the aftermath of the incident committed by Darkmoon and Dahit Wesroel.

It wasn’t just that the magical world was shaken, but it also had a huge direct impact on magicians, especially those of lower rank.

Just as there are more soldiers than officers on the battlefield, in the war against Black Hour, there are more low-ranking magicians than high-ranking magicians.

Confusion is inevitable.

So should we cut the wires or leave them as is?

The command of the Magic Tower Alliance reached a conclusion after a long and drawn-out meeting.

Maintain the status quo.

It is judged that if the front lines are evacuated to deal with the chaos, the damage will be great if Black Hour enters war again.

However, contrary to the decision of the higher-ups, the magicians belonging to the Magic Tower Union who were forcibly deployed to the strongholds on the front lines were full of dissatisfaction.

“I’m already sick and tired of being in the lab, so why am I supposed to rot away in a place like this… …!”

“That’s right, this is a waste of time!”

A competitor who has studied and adapted to the changes in the magical world in the meantime is a much greater threat than the still silent Black Hour.

Such opinions were widespread.

Eventually, as time passed and the wizards on the frontline became more and more anxious, they decided to agree to devote themselves to researching the situation of breaking through the hierarchy.

At the very least, we had agreed to patrol and guard the strongholds in order, but this was never observed, and no one pointed this out, as if it had been a promise.

Because it’s my loss.

Then one day it happened.

“Haaam… … .”

The wizard of the Helion Tower, who had spent the night and morning concentrating on magic, left his tent. He let out a long yawn and lightly stretched his body.

I lit the cigarette I had saved from the front line and sought peace of mind and body.

“Whew, I wonder when I’ll be able to return to the Magic Tower.”

Although it was a good choice to study magic at the stronghold without wasting time, it was still difficult to endure the inconvenience.

For those accustomed to the luxurious experimental environment of the Tower, it was no different from a place of exile. The command center that was concerned about the war that was already over was resentful.

Profit.

I roughly stepped on the cigarette and put out the embers. Then, just as I was about to turn back and head towards the base building, something flashed into my sight.

Something sparkled in the sky.

“hmm?”

He turned around again and raised his gaze. He frowned strongly. He didn’t bring his glasses, so he couldn’t see things far away very well.

Soon, my senses began to tremble reflexively in response to the powerful magical power.

“Magic… … bombing?”

While I was absentmindedly letting out a voice, a large amount of elemental magic reached the ground. The magic circle protecting the stronghold reflexively activated.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!

The shield is broken.

A loud noise erupts from beyond the shattered curtain of magical power. The stronghold’s structures are hit directly and flagships are struck everywhere.

The forest, which had been quiet until just a moment ago, was filled with noise.

The stronghold wizard, bleeding from his forehead as if he had been hit by shrapnel, stumbled out of the building and raised his voice.

“Everyone, run away… …!!! Anyone, go to headquarters and report this!!”

Shocking news was transmitted throughout the stronghold through atmospheric magic.

“It’s a surprise attack during the black hour!!!!”

Once again the entire front began to stir.
