How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives - How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives chapter 179

A silver-haired man and a purple-haired girl.

Karst Great and Nell.

After talking to each other for a while, the two moved towards Louis.

“First, I must help Louis. It’s troublesome if it’s later.”

“yes. OK.”

As the two moved, Leo reflexively raised his hand.

Mana dwells in his hand.

King Karst and Nel, who stopped walking and stopped moving, stared at him.

“What are you doing?”

“You are. What kind of situation is this?”

Leo bit his molars hard.

The situation was not good right now.

From the sudden appearance now, their words were making me confused.

‘You already knew me.’

A possibility called from another dimension.

He pointed to himself and said so.

It didn’t seem like he was referring to a talented person who would be newly promoted to the 8th class like Louis.

It’s more like they planned something… .

‘They… . Could it be that they’re the reason I fell into this fucking game?’

The earth, the game, the current situation, the garbage of physical strength, the fucking body, the view of the world where you die if you make a mistake… .

All sorts of thoughts came and went in Leo’s head.

It was for that reason that they raised their hands as they moved toward Louis.

It was complicated in my head, but I couldn’t let them harm Louis.

If Louis awakens as a Transcendental Being like this, he will become his helper, but I can’t let that get in the way.

King Karst stared at Leo like that.

“I know you are confused right now.”

“… You know?”

“yes. Originally, we shouldn’t have met today. I needed a little more time, but somehow it just happened like this.”

Unlike Leo who was confused, King Karst spoke calmly.

“So let’s wait for the next opportunity when we talk. Nell.”

King Karst looked at Nell, the purple-haired girl next to him.

She nodded.

“yes. Okay.”

– Ugh!

Nel raised her hand and pointed at Leo.

At the same time, a huge magic power started from her and enveloped her.

Leo widened his eyes.

‘King Karst is, without a doubt, a transcendentalist. And that would be the same for that woman.’

Seeing how he speaks so comfortably with King Karst, he must be a transcendentalist belonging to the heavenly world.

As if to prove that, overwhelming magic filled the surroundings.

The magic power was so thick that I couldn’t even breathe properly.

Even if he tried to fight against it by erecting a pillar of heaven, the pillar of his will was crushed.

The skill gap was significant.

‘Fortunately, he’s not trying to hurt me.’

Even in the midst of this, Leo struggled to find a breakthrough.

Hundreds of solutions came to his mind in a split second.

Most of them couldn’t, but there were potential solutions.

‘then… .’

Leo’s half-opened eyes confirmed the pattern of purple magic that filled the space.

Both hands moved like lightning.

-Papapapapat!

He broke and cut off the magical patterns surrounding him one after another.

It was very dense and hard, but it was somehow possible to attack by selecting only vulnerabilities.

“Hoo-wook. Hoo-wook.”

Leo let out a heavy breath.

The pattern was so complex and so powerful that it was difficult to even destroy it.

It was a very brief moment, but my whole body was drenched in sweat.

However, in the end, it was successful.

“wow.”

Nell opened her big eyes even wider than usual.

“Carr. look at this You broke my magic Isn’t that amazing!?”

“Hmm.”

“Can Karr do something like this?”

King Karst was also showing a slight admiration in those silver eyes.

“Well. It’s not that difficult, but I’m not sure if I was able to do it when I was at that level.”

“wow. So you’re saying you’re a greater mage than Kar?”

“What are you so surprised about? It’s what we call Of course you should do that.”

King Karst looked at Leo.

“What is your name?”

“… don’t you know my name? Are they your descendants?”

“Isn’t it exactly what went into the body of my descendants? People of this world.”

“… … .”

Leo bit his lip.

sure

It was these guys who got me into this game.

“… call me leo Because that is the name here.”

“yes. Leo. As I said before, this is not a good time for us to talk. How about aiming for the next opportunity?”

“What the hell are we supposed to talk about and when?”

“It’s complicated to explain.”

Karst the Great did not say a single detail.

What his cool eyes said, in fact, meant nothing but to back off on its own.

“And you seem to be worried about Louie. We do not intend to harm him.”

King Karst pointed at Louis.

He was still immersed in meditation in this noisy environment.

“That meditation stage of becoming transcendent from mortal. It takes three years if it is short and about five years if it is long.”

“… what?”

What kind of meditation do you do on a yearly basis?

“No matter how much you ascend to the transcendental level, you are vulnerable at that time. You can die if attacked by an outsider. That’s why we want to intervene.”

“right! I’m trying to protect my surroundings and help me meditate so I can finish it faster.”

Nell spoke behind the scenes with a carefree smile.

“… Then why didn’t you help until now and now help?”

Leo asked.

It’s a strange thing.

Those who have gone mad without being able to become transcendentalists are piled up in abundance in the far west.

If they had helped, the rulers of the west might have become transcendentalists, so why only Louis?

The answer was from King Karst.

“The explanation was a bit lacking. Louie crossed the wall on her own. Looks like you helped somehow, but you broke the wall anyway. All that remains is the process of becoming a transcendent, and here we can help.”

“You mean you can only help after crossing the wall?”

“right.”

King Karst nodded and glanced at Louis.

“I don’t have time anymore. The later it was, the longer Louis would be immersed in meditation. I will do the rest someday in the coming days.”

– Damn it!

When Karst the Great waved his hand, ice gushed from under Leo’s feet.

It was the ‘frost breath’ that Leo was familiar with.

“Kuk!”

I hurriedly moved mana to destroy his magic, but it was too late.

Maybe it’s because I saw him block Nell’s magic a moment ago.

With the lightning-like casting, ice formed all over Leo’s body.

At least it was not the whole body, but only the limbs were able to block the freezing line.

At the last moment, he blocked the ice that stretched all over his body.

“… … ?”

However, Leo could not help but panic.

They say that I took a shot, but I was thinking of doing something to fight back from now on.

But… .

‘Is Mana not moving?’

It wasn’t just the body that froze, the mana that was dormant inside was also frozen solid.

Not only that, but the mana in the surrounding air also stopped moving as if it were still.

A wizard is a person who uses his own mana to manipulate nature’s mana.

But now, neither his own mana, nor nature’s mana, he could not handle anything.

It was a shocking sight for a wizard.

It was then that King Karst opened his mouth casually.

“Frozen ice. Ice that can be used when Frost Breath reaches level 7. It’s not just freezing the material structure, it’s magic that freezes mana particles.”

“… what?”

“And it’s probably an ability you didn’t have in the game you were playing. This is something I developed a while ago.”

King Karst spoke step by step as if teaching a child.

Nell frowned from the side.

“Wow. Really, it’s a beggarly magic no matter how you look at it.”

She even pretended to vomit, as if she was genuinely disgusted.

King Karst pointed at her.

“As you can see, once you get hit, everyone reacts like that. Be aware. I think you can learn this by researching it.”

King Karst said that, then took a step back.

Instead, it was Nell who came forward.

– Ugh!

The wave of magical power that had been somehow blocked earlier.

This time, thanks to his tightly bound body and mana, he had no choice but to stare blankly.

Then he shouted urgently.

“Now, wait… . I still have a lot to say… !”

However, Leo’s cry was not accepted.

Nell smiled wryly and waved.

“Bye bye~. See you next time!”

– Dig!

A purple light enveloped Leo.

* * *

“Cuck!”

Leo jumped up and opened his eyes.

I urgently checked my surroundings, but it wasn’t the same place I was a moment ago.

“here is… my room?”

Yes.

It was his room.

It was not a room in a mansion acquired within the empire, but a real room.

It is the royal castle of the Roman Kingdom.

“no way… Did that light teleport me?”

I was dumbfounded.

Such an elaborate spatial movement.

Even the fairy queen Vivian was not on this level.

Moving in space into such a complex building could get your body caught in the gaps in the space if you made a mistake.

But how did he move onto his bed?

“under… .”

I felt like I knew what kind of monsters those who belonged to Cheonoecheon were.

King Karst, who freezes mana, or Nel, who performs ultra-long-distance and sophisticated space movement.

Leo was still in a state he could not even dream of.

It was then.

The door opened with the sound of urgent footsteps.

“Lowering?”

“… Celise?”

It was Selise, who was her maid of honor and was now developing her talent as a knight.

“no… How could you be here… ?”

“Well… It’s long, so to speak.”

Leo was confused as to where to start explaining this.

“uh… Anyways, it just went well. I really wanted to see you right now.”

She put on a determined expression.

Leo somehow seemed to know what it was.

‘Did my father stir-fry it?’

Her name is Leo’s maid in charge.

Although she held the sword properly, she almost gave up her maid duties, but she still maintained her position.

The fact that she looks at herself and makes that expression must mean that she doesn’t want to be bothered by King Biden anymore.

“Could you please go with me now?”

“No, wait. It’s good to go to my father, but I want to prepare my heart before that too?”

Things turn too fast.

I’m sure if I met you right now, I’d hear a lot of nagging. I wanted to do some preparation beforehand.

However, at Leo’s words, Celise tilted her head.

“Yes? Are you talking about Your Majesty? Are you supposed to see Your Majesty?”

“yes?”

Something’s wrong with the conversation?

Leo tilted his head.

“Could it be Celise? Wasn’t what you wanted to say that you would drag me to His Highness?”

“no.”

“Then what was it?”

Leo asked with a little relief.

But if not, why are you so happy?

To his question, Celise spoke in a slightly excited voice as if she had been waiting.

“I have finally reached the wall.”

“If it’s a wall… .”

“The wall to Sword Master.”

“… … !”

She clenched her fists.

“Huh… .”

Leo stared blankly at her.
