Episode 551 Retreat (1)

If the energy (氣) gave humans the fighting power by being strong, and if the divine gave humans hope by believing in it.

Magic has given humanity unprecedented prospects for advancement.

If magic did not exist, trade between continents would certainly not have been as smooth as it is now.

It must have taken an astronomical amount of time, money, and manpower to go around the unexplored territory.

Now is the age of magic.

But there is still no end to magic, even before the creation of the hierarchical magic system.

That is why the wizard never stopped pondering and contemplating what the mystery of this unknown science ultimately holds.

Here some ask:

How far is magic allowed?

For magic, do other factors really need to be ignored?

Each individual’s right and wrong are different.

The most representative standard is ethics.

Because in every sense, physical and mental, humans themselves are an excellent experimental specimen for the advancement of human magic.

Coercion, created by Besias of Baloch, forces the target’s actions and even brainwashes their minds to the end.

, improved by Dahith Westroel, which completely steals memories while turning the inside of the target’s head into a mess.

It is a new magic that was created by sacrificing all living humans. It goes without saying how cruel and great its effects are.

‘If those magics were used without hesitation, they would certainly be useful tools… … .’

Verden set firm standards and turned away from temptations without any hesitation.

The line drawn when I swore revenge on the Bohemian Tower───’I will not damage the minimum level of human dignity with magic.’

So, so far I’ve only casted the call spell once.

The Guardian Elf, Karans’ companion, who was kidnapped to the Kingdom of Estyria by Leonil… … was the spirit now named Blue.

Blue followed Karan’s trail to the kingdom and exploded in anger, indiscriminately attacking humans in the vicinity.

Verden, who was accompanying the adventurer party and Manha, was no exception.

After that, he wanted to revive Blue by directly granting him magical powers using the spirit stone he obtained from subduing the spirits, but before that, he had to make a choice.

Should you let the spirits with intense hostility towards humans run free, or should you keep them by your side under absolute safety measures?

Verden chose the latter and cast a call to the revived Blue.

The heteromorph is not human, but if it had used its intelligence for malicious purposes and run wild in the city, there would have been more than a few casualties.

At the time, Verden had no confidence in persuading the intelligent being, a heteromorphic species without humanity, and even if he had succeeded in persuading them, he had no basis for believing them.

There was a lack of insight.

However, the reason Blue did not use force other than orders for the safety of others was simply to preserve the minimum level of dignity in the category of intelligent beings beyond the realm of humans.

‘It’s the same now.’

No matter how much Hiram wanted revenge, and no matter how many human experiments he had performed on them, he would never be the target of or .

From a practical standpoint, it is no longer worth considering.

Verden’s current magical abilities are on par with the two Transcendent beings above, if not higher.

This unique magic, unlike theirs, is proof that it does not harm any dignity.

Hooooooooooo.

Certain memories Hiram harbors come into view within his inner vision.

The secrets of the various Bohemian towers, such as the reinforcement experiment I asked about just before, the thought bias study, and the 70th and 108th towers, were clearly revealed.

Hiram was like that too.

“iced coffee……!”

The memories that Verden had chosen and shared as a master of magic───the scene of his escape from the Bohemirn Tower and the scenes that followed flowed like a river into Hiram’s head.

And then, the magic became unstable.

‘Up to here.’

Verden took his hand away with magic power.

The sound of Elder Hiram’s heavy breathing was heard repeatedly. The voice of the man whose hands were shaking violently shook.

“B, Verden, you… … you caused the power source of the Magic Tower to go out of control… … ? And that Asher? This, this is ridiculous… … !!”

“I’m glad you found it impressive. It’s been about ten years since I became the 77th unofficial test subject.”

Hiram stopped talking.

It felt like all the blood in my body was draining away somewhere. Suddenly, the absence of my right arm, which had just disappeared, became very real.

He suppressed his emotions and showed his reason and asked.

“… … Why didn’t you use this magic right away?”

“If there are conditions.”

is a magic that literally shares memories with each other. It has no side effects, but has two drawbacks.

First, it is impossible to arbitrarily select and spy on other people’s memories.

It is shared sequentially, starting with the closest memory that the subject recalls.

Second, the longer it lasts, the more loses stability, because memories contain so much information.

If the opponent tries to resist, the rate of instability increases even faster.

“So the priority was to make you recall the relevant memories. Of course, there are simpler methods besides this.”

“Then why interrogate me?”

“Why?”

Why did they insist on forcing Hiram through such an inefficient interrogation process?

Verden laughed.

“Just venting my anger.”

“what……?”

Hiram looked blank.

It was embarrassing. It was for a very emotional reason that I had never thought of.

Verden bent his elbow.

The flames of the netherworld flickered violently at the tips of his sharp fingers.

───Quazik zikkizik!

A black, blazing arm pierced through his chest and into the wall beyond.

There was silence.

Hiram slowly lowered his head and looked down at his own body, his eyes and mouth opening wider than ever before.

“Ugh… … Huh… … .”

“Go first and wait. Soon, not only the other elders, but also the Matapju will be sent to your side.”

It was a determined whisper.

……dump.

As Verden took a step back, Hiram fell limply. No blood or organs flowed out of his body, which had a large central part removed.

Without a will, life simply faded away.

* * *

Elder Hiram died.

As soon as Verden’s business was over, Alpha crawled out from inside the robe. His eyes glowed as he scanned Hiram’s body.

[No life signs. 0% chance of survival. Certain death confirmed. Six of the seven elders of Itium remain.]

Current status of the Bohemian Tower.

‘It’s only a small advance, but it has further tilted the balance of power.’

Verden turned his back, feeling a sense of relief and accomplishment, just like when he was with Rayshen. He stopped in front of Ennet, who was bound and on her knees.

Increased visual acuity.

‘… … The calligraphy engraved inside and the unidentified energy are repulsive.

It is similar to Isabella’s case, where the blood and collateral of a special entity collided within her body and were in opposition like oil and water.

I lowered my body and met his eyes.

Ennet was staring straight at Verden with a tired expression. She was full of life, but… … her focus was off.

‘You’re not looking at me.’

It was as if Ennet was dreaming, with only her body awake. There was an intense emotion in her eyes.

awe.

I’m scared of something other than the Verden right in front of me.

It’s weird.

The disciple of the transcendent is a terror?

There is currently no way to know what caused this situation. It may have something to do with the reason for the excommunication.

anyway.

‘This unknown energy itself seems to be forbidden by the Master… … It doesn’t seem to be directly harmful to Ennet. I don’t need to carve a magic circle of reversal like Isabella did.’

I observed closely, considered all possibilities, and quickly came to a conclusion.

There is no problem with removing the call.

Bam.

Verden went behind Ennet and touched the back of her head and the middle of her back.

The swaying magic.

I didn’t open up the magic of destruction like Hiram and start working. No matter how careful I was, the pain would be extreme the moment it touched my body.

To minimize variables, a quiet destruction by the magic thread is right.

Whoa whoa whoa.

He showed strong will by controlling his magical power with his power.

I know the structure even with my eyes closed.

He cleverly and quickly found the center of the call and gnawed at it, completely severing it.

The forced magic circles carved around her head and heart disappeared at the same time. The strength left Ennet’s muscles.

Next, when I released the magic circle , she lost her balance. I caught her falling body and slowly laid her down on the floor.

[No trace of magic circle. Internal and external injuries are not deep. Breathing is somewhat weak but stable. Overall observation shows that there is no major danger to life. His Majesty Verden has appropriately assaulted him.]

“… … .”

What should I say? It feels a bit strange to call it assault, but anyway, since I secured my safety safely, it was as intended.

At that moment, a light came on in the communication device.

[This is Levana, in charge of Group 2. I apologize for contacting you, but the current situation is… … .]

“What’s going on?”

[Yes. The response from the Western Continent Tower Alliance is faster than expected, and the highest elder of the Helion Tower has appeared. They have currently destroyed 12 of the Alliance’s strongholds and are retreating using all available means, but their power is too great to completely shake them off… … If things continue this way, a battle seems inevitable.]

The fact that a fight was inevitable meant that it would be difficult to escape without killing the magicians of the Magic Tower Alliance.

‘The first group also retreated due to being hit and I also obtained sufficient information… … .’

It’s time to end the operation on the Western Continent.

“Lead it as far east as possible. It’s going straight there.”

[yes!]

After finishing the communication with Levana, I connected the communication device with Osgar, the Sage of Power, who was waiting at the rear.

“We rescued a survivor from the unofficial laboratory of the Bohemian Tower. He is an important figure as he is a disciple of the Transcendent One, so send someone to the coordinates I mentioned and bring him back quickly.”

[The disciple of the Transcendent? Whose… … No, this is not the time to listen to an explanation leisurely. I understand. I will go there myself.]

A person responsible for Ennet’s safety was also sought.

All that remains is an unofficial laboratory.

Should I leave it like this?

you’re welcome.

I don’t even think about that.

Verden clapped his hands together.

The darkness of destruction that was triggered from beneath your feet spreads widely. Naturally, the place where Ennet is was excluded from the range.

‘A 7th-tier magic wouldn’t be enough to instantly destroy a structure of this size made of material that is impervious to .’

More destructive power is needed.

If it had been Verden before, it would have taken time, but not now. I have acquired the magic that suits him.

Verden held his ground, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

A heavy silence fell. The color drained from his body along with Alpha, who was watching while holding onto his robe tightly.

Super magic.

A whirlwind of destruction begins to sweep through Verden.

A wave of destruction rose from the lowest level of the unofficial laboratory and engulfed the secret spaces of the Bohemian Tower.

* * *

There were loud noises everywhere and the bitter wind kept irritating my skin.

They were concentrating on retreating while keeping the Western Continent’s Magic Tower Alliance forces in check at every moment, but it was only a matter of time before their retreat route was completely blocked.

“Wow… …! You’re still sane in front of me. You’re a high-ranking member of Black Hour, so you’re quite capable, regardless of your age. You’re talented… …!”

“This, this old man… … !”

Currently, Levana is facing off against the highest elder of the Helion Tower.

On the surface, they appear to be just glaring at each other, but in the spiritual realm, a war is taking place that ordinary wizards cannot perceive.

A fierce battle ensued as the magic swords that each side had pioneered clashed.

‘As expected, he is a top-class veteran… … !’

She’s holding on somehow, but no matter how well she does, the best she can do with her abilities is to buy time.

However, the level of the Alliance’s magicians is relatively low, so the second group led by the lower-level executives of Black Hour is holding them back well, so the overall situation is not that bad.

I can endure until the Transcendent One comes.

It was a moment I was so sure of.

Kwarrrrrrrrrrrr!

Suddenly the sky flashed and a magical lightning bolt struck.

“Kwak… … !”

One of the Black Hour’s lower-ranking officers was hit and fell down, fortunately not killed, but appeared to have difficulty moving.

Levana, who had been chasing the magical power response, raised her head. A human figure slowly appeared in the thick clouds.

A loud voice was heard.

“An unexpected Black Hour raid? Is this retaliation for the last time the Magic Tower Alliance attacked the Black Hour strongholds?”

Levana opened her eyes wide.

‘Surely the author… … .’

‘Angelo’, who holds the position of the highest elder or elder of the Bohemian Tower.

One who has reached the pinnacle of magic.

The third-ranking member of the Bohemirn Tower, following Balok Besias and his successor, the first disciple.

A storm and residual lightning shot up around him, the pinnacle of Ethium, whose whereabouts were not clearly known in the Society.

The battlefield came to a halt as the wizards felt the overwhelming magical power.

“hmm.”

Angelo looked down at Group 2 as if they were different. His gaze was fixed squarely on Levana.

“Levana of Control. She is indeed infamous. To think that she was able to somehow catch the ankle of the highest elder of the Helion Tower. I wonder if she can stop this too.”

The clouds are flickering.

The sound of thunder splits. The air begins to tremble violently.

Levana bit her lip.

‘How to stop lightning from hitting the mental realm.’

Not only is their compatibility great, but more importantly, they have two supreme elders. And one of them is a monster who has reached the limits of humanity.

A head-on confrontation is not enough.

Even with one of our lower-ranking officers seriously injured… … we racked our brains to find a solution, but we were not given any leeway.

There was no hesitation, an intense sound exploded and light gathered.

───!

A total of four lightning strikes were concentrated in a certain area. It was the moment when Levana’s face turned blue.

A wave of annihilation that flew in from the side blocked and erased all the electricity.

The light that had been illuminating all directions disappeared as if being sucked in, and a powerful presence filled the empty space.

At some point, an old man with dark gray hair appeared and stood in the center of the battlefield.

Angelo opened his eyes wide.

“Dark moon?”

Dahit Wesroel───Verden disguised as [Einver]’s . He slightly raised his chin and stared at a face he hadn’t seen in a long time.

‘Angelo. I thought you were somewhere on the upper floors of the Bohemian Tower, but you were near the wires.’

Considering that even the highest elders of other magic towers have appeared, it seems that Baloch may have placed them on standby in case of an emergency.

Well, I guess it’s fine.

‘I don’t plan on dealing with him right away, either in terms of plan or situation… … .’

There is absolutely no problem if you just take care of it moderately.

Verden spoke softly, waving his black-gloved hands, as Dahith Wesroel usually did.

“How dare you look down on me, you mere lackey of Banpun.”

“this…….”

A transcendent being, and a magician who is ranked among the strongest among humans.

Annihilation and lightning collided.
