Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 570



Only Noblemtl

Episode 570: Accompanying (1)

The flame of passion, once it has started to burn, will not die out on its own. Not until it has reduced everything around it to ashes.

Robelin, whose abdomen was deeply torn by a sharp rock, managed to kill five Black Hour wizards by barely managing to stop the bleeding and protrusion of her organs by burning the wound.

For her, her only life was nothing more than a kind of collateral.

It was the same when the war broke out about three years ago, and it is the same now, after so many experiences over a period of intense time.

It doesn’t matter whether you have an artificial artifact from the Magic Tower or not. The fact that your opponent is a Transcendent is not even a reason to be afraid.

That day, I was only afraid of the irreversible regret of not being able to force Verden to study abroad in the magic city.

But because she was that kind of Robelin, she had to stop herself.

It had to be that way.

Because I couldn’t ignore the voice and the continuous scenes that pierced my mind.

───What kind of place is the Magic Tower?

───Well? Isn’t it very different from the village?

The sunlight of dawn warmly enveloped the two children as they left the orphanage that was no different from their hometown and climbed into the back of a carriage.

An unforgettable memory.

But something was very different from what she knew.

The vision of someone imbued with Robelin’s consciousness illuminates a red-haired girl with a childlike smile.

Robelyn, who was 8 years old.

‘This is… … .’

It was Verden’s point of view.

* * *

Memories that were both extremely familiar and infinitely unfamiliar flowed and poured out without stopping like a stream, or sometimes like a waterfall.

The massive amount of information slowly started to give me a terrible headache.

Still, Robelin couldn’t take her eyes off him for even a moment.

I was immersed.

In a world where your closest childhood friend lives.

On the other hand, a comparison was also made.

With her left eye, she recalled her own memories in detail, while with her right eye, she gazed at Verden’s memories…

───This is the Magic Tower. That’s the building where the workers now live. It seems like a much better place to live than an orphanage, right? Don’t you think so, Verden?

───I feel sorry for saying this to the director, but that’s true.

The two people who were the seeds to become full-fledged members of the Magic Tower and became workers of the Magic Tower were each assigned separate accommodations according to gender.

I wasn’t lonely.

Because we could fill our bellies together during meal times.

We greeted each other warmly in the morning, dozed off or chatted at lunchtime, and made plans to meet again the next day in the evening.

And when I turned 13, I took an aptitude test at the magic tower.

───Oh, this talent is… … truly a gem! If you polish it well from now on, you will become a great magician who can look forward to the future!

It was revealed that Lobelin was a holder of the rare special trait and an elder-level talent of the Magic Tower, whose upper limit was 6th tier.

In contrast, Verden turned out to be the worst dullard, unable to grow any further from the marginal hierarchy to the first tier.

It only took a moment for him to become a laughing stock.

───Those kids… … .

───It’s okay, Robelyn. Really. I’m fine. I have no intention of giving up magic just because I don’t have talent.

There are countless people who think that innate talent is everything in the field of magic, but Verden was not one of them.

Because I was fascinated by magic with a pure desire to have it, without any rational interest.

Robelin wanted to stay by Verden’s side and help him. However, the rational order of the Magic Tower was an undeniable reality.

───Robelin. Yes, you are the famous eccentric. Congratulations on entering the Bohemian Tower.

───Ah, I… … .

───I know you’re happy, so I don’t need to express it further. Of course, it’s good that you don’t have to do that dirty work anymore. Come on, follow me. Time doesn’t wait.

After the aptitude test, Lobelin was selected as a promising candidate for the Magic Tower, while Verden remained as a worker for the Magic Tower.

It was difficult to meet him because of the talent training conducted at Matap… … but I never doubted that one day I would be able to live at Matap with Verden.

True to his word, Verden lived a skillful life as a worker at the Magic Tower, reading books on magic that he had secretly acquired.

Magical understanding.

It was finally the moment when he truly realized his own specialness.

The repetitive days passed quickly and two years passed by.

15 years old.

───Congratulations on entering the Bohemian Tower, the leader of the Elemental School, Verden. I told you so, didn’t I? You could do it.

───Why are you congratulating me when I’m not even considered a formal magician… … Anyway, thank you.

Verden was promoted from worker to junior researcher and entered the Bohemian Tower.

Since he had shown himself to be quite a skilled worker, the magicians of the Magic Tower thought he would be good for odd jobs and selected him accordingly.

I think it will be a good thing.

Neither Verden nor Robelin tried hard to hide their joy.

Not only will you have access to a wider variety of magic, but you’ll also be part of the same group. What could be better news than this?

Orphans who had nothing became members of the Magic Tower.

───Robelin! Focus!

───Oh, yes! Sorry!

Robelin’s studies became even more hectic, as she had to accumulate enough magical knowledge to serve as a foundation before she could advance to the next level.

She took the course step by step to become a high-ranking magician of the Magic Tower.

───Hey, put this away.

───Yes, I will clean it up right away.

Verden was also busy.

While doing all sorts of errands and chores requested by the seniors, he also accumulated vast amounts of magical knowledge through books.

Three years have soon passed.

Now that they have turned 18 and become full-fledged adults, the two have gone their separate ways.

Robelyn now spends more days in the outside world than in the Bohemian Tower.

I started experiencing the world of magic.

Verden developed his own theory in secret from everyone.

Multiple continuity theory.

Until it was completed, Verden, who kept the progress hidden even from Robelin, asked for help from Luked Maniacs to prove his theory.

It was a very smooth collaboration.

Until Luker, who had mastered the theory of multiple continuities, betrayed them.

Naturally, Verden, who had his theory taken away right before his eyes, protested loudly. He complained about the injustice he felt in front of Matapju, whom he had encountered in the hallway.

The Lord Matapju said to him:

───Come to the lab on the 32nd floor two days later at night.

Immediately afterwards, the mood of the memory changed abruptly.

Screams and screams.

‘what’s this.’

What Robelin was seeing was the scene of gruesome human experiments taking place in the hidden laboratory of the Bohemian Tower.

Several wizards surround you on all sides.

To them, Verden, the master of memory, was ‘magically’ dissected.

* * *

───AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He struggled like crazy and screamed desperately, begging for them to stop. The tears streaming down his temples did not dry.

Verden screaming for help.

It was the most inhuman outrage Robelin had ever seen in her life.

Where was Robelin and what was she doing at that time? As always, she was going about her daily life no different than usual.

Her clear consciousness trembled.

‘I, I… … .’

Robelin went out of the magic tower under the guidance of the senior wizard.

Verden was subjected to human experimentation periodically, once every week.

Robelin studied the tedious and difficult magic.

Verden was forced to make endless sacrifices by Colzion.

Robelin set foot on a country she had never been to before, and learned and traveled at the same time.

Verden suffered serious mental cracks as he overextended his talents under the leadership of Croden Olentia.

When Robelin returned to the Tower a few months later, she had heard nothing about the human experiments and only heard about the theory of multiple continuities.

───What? Verden tried to steal someone else’s theory? What nonsense!

I found Verden right away.

And asked.

────… … What’s going on?

────No, nothing happened.

It was a flat refusal to help.

Robelin also knows the reason.

Even if we help Verden here, the situation will only get worse. Robelin can’t stay in the tower for long.

It was obvious that the bullying would get worse without her.

A problem that could only be solved by gaining status and authority within the Tower. Robelin swallowed her anger and resolved to do so.

That day, Verden was subjected to drug experiments by Rayshen Taillord. He was forced to endure it silently, unable to even scream, due to the call.

It was not long before Verden overcame his despair and vowed revenge.

7 years later, 25 years old.

Robelin has become a third-tier high-ranking wizard with a solid foundation. Now she is ready to rise to the top.

At that moment, the topic of studying abroad came up.

Verden is terminally ill and will die shortly thereafter.

None of the participants in the unofficial experiment felt sorry, but behind the scenes, Verden was judging the timing.

And, 7 days before the opening of the Magic Festival.

Robelin confidently came to Verden and made a bold proposal.

I decided to go to study abroad in the magic city.

Let’s go together.

It’s hard to stay here.

But I couldn’t get the answer I wanted.

────Sorry. I’ll decline.

────As expected······ What?

────I fit in here.

Knowing that her will would not be broken, Robelin eventually left for Birente after some hesitation.

I looked back at the rooftop several times, but my friend never followed me.

Verden, who was watching Robelin moving away from the window, thought.

The plan is going smoothly.

There is nothing to be hesitant about now.

On the day the Magic Festival began, the day the mid-level members, including the Magic Tower Lord, emptied the Magic Tower──── Berden began to move.

The source of the power outage.

Verden, who reconstructed his body and acquired talent, escaped from the pursuit of the Magic Tower Master by moving through space without leaving a trace.

Verden, who had landed on the Eastern Continent as planned, burst into laughter. In a voice louder than any Robelin had ever seen before.

And so began the new story of Berden, who became ‘Asher’.

Eastern Continent.

Central Continent.

Western Continent.

The scenes passed by very quickly, accelerating. This was to reduce the burden on Robelin by controlling the amount of information.

Because of that, it was difficult to properly find out what kind of conversation was going on or who was met. I also couldn’t know what Berden was thinking at that time.

But, that level was clearly visible.

From tier 1 to tier 2.

From 2nd to 3rd tier.

From 3rd to 4th tier.

From 4th to 5th tier.

From 5th to 6th rank.

From 6th to 7th rank.

From human to transcendent.

Robelin experienced the series of events that Verden lived through, both directly and indirectly.

It wasn’t everything, but it was enough.

Phew.

The flow of shared memories slowly slowed down and then stopped. In just one blink, I was back in reality.

The flames that had engulfed her entire body had long since died down.

Robelin slowly raised her head.

“I, I… … .”

What should I say?

Her figure, struggling to open her lips, was reflected on the wall. She held onto Verden’s robe with trembling hands.

She squeezed out a tearful voice. What she had to say was neither an excuse nor a consolation.

“I’m so sorry… … !”

Suddenly, tears flowed down my cheeks.

I didn’t know.

That is not an indulgence. Rather, it is a mistake due to ignorance.

At least as much as Robelyn.

She felt so guilty that she thought of herself like that.

Then Verden put his hand on Robelin’s head and said.

“Don’t say that. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Even if we abbreviate it, from the age of 8 to 28, if we only consider the time that has passed, we shared memories of a whopping 20 years.

The world has moved that much.

The curtain of night was lifted and the sun began to rise over the eastern horizon. A dazzling yellow sunrise illuminated the two of them.

Just like that time when I boarded the carriage heading to the Bohemian Tower with hopes and dreams.

So, the two were reunited.

* * *

It’s the first time they’ve met in their true form since the Magic Tower, but in fact, the two have met before. Not only that, but they’ve even been on an adventure of sorts.

The ant labyrinth that served as the stage for Ignacia’s scales.

Verden, disguised as ‘Alan’, the magician of the magic tower sent by Rayshen as an assistant, stayed by Robelin’s side throughout the auction.

Two people sat side by side in front of a campfire.

“I think this is the first time I’ve seen you cry like that since the orphanage. You’ve been crying a lot since I last saw you.”

“… … .”

Robelin kept her mouth shut and wiped away the tear stains. Then she cautiously looked at Verden again.

“… … What are you doing?”

“Just stay still.”

I touched the hair that had turned ashen. I pressed the arms and shoulders. The physical texture stimulated my sense of touch.

‘As expected… … It’s real.’

In addition to the change in appearance, there was an authoritative voice, but it was definitely Verden. The Verden that I thought was dead.

To Robelin, it all felt like a dream. A dream she didn’t want to wake up from. But she knew it was all real.

thank god.

So much.

“ha.”

Only then did she let out a deep sigh of relief and bow her head.

“Really… … That you were the famous Asher, that you were Alan, that you were a transcendent being and the master of Black Hour… … Ah, there are so many things I want to say and ask. I don’t know what to do. My head is a mess.”

“There’s no need to rush. There’s plenty of time to think about it.”

At that moment, Verden gently grabbed Robelin’s left arm.

“Just stay still for a moment.”

“huh?”

The wall flickered.

“Let me check that bracelet.”

Just as Lobelin saw Verden’s memories, Verden also saw Lobelin’s memories.

Artificial artifact, was it called [Guardian Flame]?

What on earth was the Bohemian Tower trying to do with Robelin?

It’s time to find out how they tried to trap the leader of Black Hour.
