Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 563



Only Noblemtl

Episode 563, Round 1 (1)

The underground prison, Kernadel, was famous for its strict security, but now not even a trace of that reputation can be found.

The citadel guarding the entrance to the prison and protected by the third wall collapsed, and more than half of the interior of the second wall was also destroyed.

The only area that was left untouched was the civilian area between the first and second walls, but this area also suffered considerable casualties as many vicious criminals rushed outside.

“How could this happen… … .”

Bishop Lena.

While serving as a bishop in charge of the church in the Riverrunge of the City Union, he healed Adrian, who was half-crippled.

Afterwards, she intervened in the Glory of the Corpse incident and participated in the war to subdue the Bone Dragon in the Republic of Beldirn, where her merits were recognized.

A person who is taking the advanced stage of the senior bishop, one of the steps to becoming an archbishop in the Diocese of Luas, upon the recommendation of Archbishop Joseph.

She sighed deeply as she gazed upon the horrific scene. How many people have died? It took all day to collect the bodies.

“It is truly a tragedy.”

Seven archbishops, including Joseph, hold the cross and pray. It was a prayer for those who died while carrying out their duties.

Joseph asked.

“Bishop Lena, have you sent all the contacts to the magical community?”

“Yes, Archbishop. I sent them to the Arcanad Magic Nation, Bohemirn Magic Tower, Diamun Magic Tower, Helion Magic Tower, and Ostea Magic Tower. I sent them to all the magic groups on the Western Continent. But I recently heard rumors that the war with Black Hour has resumed… … .”

“Even if the Magic Tower Alliance can’t help, the Magic Nation alone is a powerful ally. If we cooperate with the neighboring countries, we’ll soon be able to catch all the escaped vicious criminals… … However, finding the culprit is just as important. However, for now, we don’t know the reason or identity.”

There was no witness to the culprit, and there was no indication of intent to destroy Kernadel. There were no clues to the incident.

“hmm?”

As I reacted to the unusual energy, I saw the distant sky turning pitch black. Instinctive fear, and also ominousness.

The phenomenon is getting closer and closer to Kernadel.

“Archbishop… … !”

Archbishop Joseph immediately tried to stop them, as not only Bishop Lena but also the clergy and knights of the Church of Luas immediately took up a defensive posture.

“Put down your weapon. I will take responsibility for his identity and vouch for him.”

“Well, if the Archbishop says so.”

The congregation suppressed their vigilance and retreated.

Soon the sky became completely covered in darkness, and in the blink of an eye, when all the darkness disappeared, a being stood before the archbishop.

“Joseph.”

“It’s been about two years, Your Majesty.”

Everyone was shocked by the appearance of the Dark Warton Necromancer. It was no wonder, since he was the longest-living transcendent being in the current magical world.

“Oh, hello!”

Bishop Lena bit her tongue as she greeted him. It was because her tongue was stiff from nervousness. Her face turned red with embarrassment.

Matapju greeted him with a brief glance, completely oblivious to the situation.

Joseph asked.

“I didn’t expect to see you here. What brings you here all of a sudden?”

“I heard news of Kernadel while I was having a meeting in the Magic Kingdom. Since I’m on my way back anyway, there’s no reason I shouldn’t visit.”

“ah……!”

It meant to help.

I can’t help but be happy. If there is a transcendent being of death, it’s only a matter of time before we find the being responsible for the massacre in Kernadel.

“Where is the body?”

“I will guide you.”

A temporary storage facility for the dead.

The interior was filled with corpses covered in state-preserving magic items.

The magistrate himself collected the cloth and examined the victim. The cause of death was a sharp spear wound that had pierced the heart.

Death whispers.

“Tell me about your feelings from when you were alive.”

The Dark Warden’s magic has taken hold of the decaying, cold corpse. Soon the dead will open their eyes and answer his questions.

I will vent my grievances.

But… … Strangely, the corpse was silent. It was as quiet as a foggy valley. In the heavy silence, Matapju spoke calmly.

“The body has been completely killed.”

“yes?”

“You should focus on dealing with the criminals who escaped from Kernadel. Put aside any immediate plans to find the culprit.”

Matapju left some advice.

“It will be difficult to handle easily.”

* * *

Isabella’s eyes widened reflexively when she saw Sandir. It was as frightening as the teeth of a surprised Gluttony.

Not only was there a compulsory magic circle engraved on his head and chest, but the essence reflected in his form was… …different from a normal existence.

That guy.

It looks like an emotionless doll with no expression on its face. It would be more accurate to say it’s creepy rather than strange.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

There was an explosion in the city center. The screams of citizens could be heard continuously from the direction where black smoke was rising.

A powerful magical response of at least 6 levels lower has been detected from that side.

Downton is under attack.

‘Why are there people here who are controlled by the Bohemian Tower Lord?’

There is no way the target would be here. Its location has been exposed, and its very existence is unknown to the world.

In other words, if we go by the method of elimination, he’s after Gluttony. That makes sense, since he just mentioned that he came to catch a monster.

‘I heard that Bohemian Tower and Gluttony were definitely working together. Did their relationship suddenly go awry?’

It seems more certain that way… … but it’s hard to tell.

anyway.

Although we cannot contact the owner, we understand what needs to be done. We leave it up to each individual to make their own judgment on the scene.

Kuuuuung!

The next vibration occurred closer.

The five-story building, with its foundation damaged, cracked and collapsed at its central axis. Those who couldn’t escape in time were left clutching their heads.

I reached out my hand in an instant.

Isabella’s magic stopped the falling debris in midair.

“You save others while risking your vulnerability. You are selfless, beyond recklessness and foolishness.”

“Is this what you did?”

I pretended not to know anything about the Bohemian Tower and asked around.

Sandhir answered.

“I don’t have the ability to pick out just the pieces of glass from a grain of sand. So what can I do? I have to scatter the sand into pieces and then pick them out one by one.”

The grains of sand represent the citizens of Downt, and the shards of glass represent the transplants of Gluttony.

“So you just attacked the city? Are you crazy?”

“That may be true. Anyone who lives in this world cannot help but go crazy. Isn’t that life?”

Sandhir bit into the last piece of meat and placed the wooden skewer on the table. He quenched his thirst with the beer someone had left behind and continued speaking.

“I should have been picking out glass shards too… … But now that something interesting has come up, I guess others can deal with that monster.”

Sandir stared at the wizard born from Gluttony. He was still, not even breathing.

Just like a prey trying to avoid being noticed by a predator… … Then, when their eyes crossed, the wizard hurriedly ran away.

“Dispose of it.”

“yes.”

Two brainwashed experimental subjects who had been wreaking havoc in the city revealed their vicious murderous intent toward the wizard.

Soon a battle broke out and strong winds blew in succession.

Bam.

Sandir stood up and slammed his unusually sharp spear into the ground. He turned to face Isabella and slapped her chin.

“I may be a layman when it comes to magic, but I felt a ripple in space just now. Judging by the circumstances, I have a question. Did you happen to bring the leader of the monsters with you?”

“……then?”

“If we capture you, we might be able to get our hands on the leader. Whether it’s a hostage exchange or something. Well, that aside.”

Sandhir licked his lips.

“You’re quite bright. I can see that you don’t like me at all. Do you want to kill me? How about it? Do you want to challenge me?”

“Light? Challenge?”

It was a sound that I couldn’t understand, but it was still an enemy. It seemed like a difficult enemy because of its strange nature, but it was no problem.

If you can handle it, handle it. If it’s ambiguous, take your time.

Until the master comes.

“okay.”

Isabella manipulated the debris of a building floating in the sky.

“I will challenge!”

It was just before a torrential downpour of rain.

Kwajik!

Sandir’s spear tore through Isabella’s side, tearing off some of the flesh at the edge.

Sandhir, who had come up to my nose in the blink of an eye, shook his head.

“Isn’t that too narrow a gap for a wizard? Do it again. I only gave you a light wound as a warning, so this time do it properly───”

Pfft! Pfft!

Sandhir, who didn’t even have his center of gravity right, flew and crashed through the building.

Isabella sneered as she kicked his head. It was a kick that came from the senses enhanced by the Rune Ring, Exceed.

“Properly, what?”

“This is true.”

Sandhir slowly walked out of the thick cloud of dust.

I blocked it with my palm in a split second, but the impact was more than I expected.

“It doesn’t look like he’s strengthened his body, but he has this kind of power. And he even has regenerative powers. There’s another monster. It’s getting more and more interesting.”

Isabella unleashed her magic as if she didn’t want to continue the conversation. The debris from the buildings in the sky came crashing down in a diagonal direction.

thud.

Then Sandhir stepped forward with his left foot and bent his knee. He held the spear firmly in place under his right armpit.

A posture similar to a cavalryman’s lance charging.

“How far will you shine?”

A pale blue──aquamarine energy rippled throughout Sandir’s body.

“Don’t expect it.”

Ground crushed by force.

A spear blade that pierces a straight line in inertia,

Jeongcheon Jeong-Wear

A blow pierced through the city.

* * *

Downt, which had enjoyed its usual cold mornings and peaceful days, became a scene of chaos before evening even arrived.

The merchants’ council that ruled the city did not even have a proper grasp of the situation.

Although we had already sent security forces and commercial forces to take charge of public security, it was meaningless.

Because a considerable number of people died or were seriously injured while trying to stop unidentified terrorists without being able to do anything.

Cities are collapsing everywhere.

In a moment that was truly a disaster, the citizens were at a loss. This was true not only above ground but also underground.

But just as there is Isabella above ground, there is Adrain underground.

Kaang! Kaang! Kang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As they moved faster than sound, their strikes clashed with each other.

Adrian observed the curved man in front of him.

‘This movement. It’s definitely Grimnax.’

A group of elite assassins operating in the shadows of continental politics. A brutal murder organization that will kill anyone for money, Grimnax.

Adrian had previously dealt with a former Grimnax officer who had come to kill Liam Arrain at the request of the Eastern Highlords in a previous competition.

There were also many conflicts during the past days of the four major powers of the Central Continent.

Judging from that experience, the vicious swordsmanship that targets only vital points must have been Grimnax’s.

‘Why are the most powerful people in Grimnax being brainwashed?’

Maybe he was kidnapped like Adrian and became a test subject.

The other two too.

The poisonous wind caused by the black magician blows down on you with the tailwind.

While Grimnax’s assassin wore a mask that protected his respiratory system, Adrian’s was only for camouflage.

He immediately struck down the assassin and used the force of his sword to destroy the magic with the wind pressure. Then, a heavy hammer flew in from the side.

Thud!

Adrian scraped the ground, absorbing most of the impact by not resisting.

Assassins and hammer warriors rushed from the left and right.

Sigh.

Adrian spins around, dodging the blows coming from both sides and spinning in the air. Boom! The kicks that extended in opposite directions hit both of their faces.

Then he swung his lightsaber sharply

Choaack!

Blood gushed from the assassin’s shoulder and the hammer warrior’s armor was damaged. Adrian quickly distanced himself and counted.

The opponent’s skill is not bad, but Adrian has already activated his power. It is safe to say that his power is second only to Verden.

‘Assassin, warrior, magician. Can kill within 20 hits without any skills.’

There is just some hesitation.

If only he could get rid of the brainwashing, he might come to his senses. Adrian, who had been through the same situation, felt a sense of kinship.

Of course, excluding Grimnax, who values ​​human life as money.

Kuung───!!

Suddenly, a huge noise came from above. But that wasn’t all.

An enormous amount of energy that cannot be ignored is sensed.

‘What appeared on the ground?’

I don’t know what it is, but it’s not normal. It’s at least much more dangerous than those three. And there’s only Isabella on the ground.

Taat!

Adrian headed straight for the exit from the underground shopping mall. The passage was empty, as people had already fled.

Fortunately, the brainwashed three immediately followed him.

I quickly move through the dark passage.

Phew.

Adrian returned back the way he had come and went back to the ground. Downt, where the sun was almost setting, came into view.

‘… … About a fifth of the city collapsed.’

How long has it been since the incident occurred for this much damage to occur?

In a rare moment of panic, a pillar of ice rose from the ruined city.

I immediately ran towards it. Finally, I saw the sight of Isabella, covered in wounds, fighting fiercely with a man holding a spear.

The energy of the spear piercing through the ice wall threw her off balance, and then the real blade stabbed into her slender neck.

Kyaang!

Adrian stepped in and took the blow obliquely. His fingertips felt slightly numb. He immediately counterattacked and knocked the man back.

“Phew, I almost got a hole in my throat.”

Isabella took a deep breath.

“I’ll thank you later. More importantly, that guy is incredibly strong.”

“It looks like that.”

Even with Adrian’s discernment, it is difficult to read the realm accurately.

The man, Sandir, lifted the spear onto his shoulder.

“Is that your comrade? Hoo, that’s quite a strong light. This is also interesting.”

From the way you speak, it seems like you’re not in your right mind.

Adrian raised his sword.

“It seems like we don’t match up. So I’ll take care of him.”

“Are you okay alone?”

“There’s nothing I can do. He’s not alone either.”

The three men who had been chasing Adrian in the underground shopping mall were almost there. Isabella, who had just finished regenerating, gathered her magic power.

“Okay. I’ll take care of the rest.”

The battlefields were changed.

Wedge───!

Adrian advanced. His blow was more focused on pushing than striking. He collided with Sandir and kicked the ground out of the city.

“You want to go outside? To reduce unnecessary damage? You’re also altruistic. Okay, I’ll gladly accept.”

Sandir struck Adrian’s sword with his spear and ran backwards. They both stepped on the wall and reached the natural stage.

“You seem to be a swordsman who has reached the pinnacle of skill. This is the first time since you came back into the world that you have faced someone of this level of skill. So I will ask you with respect.”

Sandhir tilted his spear.

“Will you challenge me?”

“… … .”

Adrian silently recalled the sensations he had felt during his fight with Sandir.

The state he has reached may be a kind of extreme point, just like himself… … or it may even be something more than that.

and.

‘His left and right arms are different.’

The shape and appearance are distinct, as if it were taken from someone else.

It’s like a transplant.

Well, I heard that Bohemian Tower received Gluttony’s technology through a deal, so maybe it’s not that strange.

however.

Why does that left hand look so familiar?
