Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 136

Episode 136: Preparation

“……The cash you mentioned will be prepared within a week.”

Verden left the Dyna Bank while listening to Drelf's gloomy voice.

I didn't receive the cash right away.

The branch manager said that the bank would transport the cash from each branch to Aserne using a plane owned by Dyna Bank.

'If I just wait, it will be prepared for me.'

This is the kind of treatment that even the most noble of nobles would give. This must be the power of the Marquis of Esperanza.

Although he had no desire for the outward show of status, Verden was aware of its convenience.

'This solves one problem.'

Next, it's time to head to the Grand Library.

The purpose is a book containing 5th-tier magic.

It would be nice if you could buy it at a nearby bookstore, but unfortunately, high-ranking magic books are strictly prohibited from distribution under the name of the Magic Tower.

It's not that I'm worried that magic will leak out.

Even if you get your hands on a book containing fifth-tier magic, who would do anything?

Unless you're a wizard who's specialized in that field, it might just be a pretty ornamental book or a fire starter.

There is one reason why Matap banned distribution.

'I just really hate it when high-level magic is left on the market.'

Among the wizarding clan, there were many who had such useless pride.

This tendency is especially strong among high-level magicians.

'You can tell just by looking at the 7th-tier wizard, Bohemirn Magic Tower Master, Balok Vesias.'

A crazy person who treats people like objects and throws them away.

The same goes for those who dabbled in the unofficial research of the Magic Tower with him.

Verden knew about such wizards better than anyone else.

Verden arrives at the Great Library of Lines.

After showing Kalia's seal necklace to the librarian in charge, I was able to enter the restricted area without difficulty.

A place where expensive, rare, and difficult books are stored, protected by various magical items.

'… … There it is.'

As Verden looked around, he saw a picture of two spirals with a straight line running through their centers.

Leader of the relic exploration team, Ryan Crusoe.

It was the symbol of the Helion Tower, a symbol of the Enchantress School from which he was from.

I walked straight to the bookshelf.

'There's a considerable amount.'

A variety of magic books.

There was also a book on mental magic with a rather interesting title, but I didn't bother to touch it.

Verden's mainstays are close combat using his senses enhanced by the Rune Ring, his body enhanced by enchantments, and elemental magic.

'I know the basic theory of the mind, but I have never studied it in depth.'

Because the Bohemian Tower doesn't handle any magic at all.

Unlike other magic towers, it didn't only deal with one or two elements, but with all the elements, so it couldn't possibly have the capacity to worry about other series.

'What we need now is depth.'

Learning magic superficially, thinking that it would be good to simply know a lot of magic, is a waste of time.

Of course, there are no limits to Verden. If you want to, you can learn.

'But that doesn't mean it doesn't require effort.'

Gain knowledge by understanding the theory, and learn magic through trial and error.

The body that Verden has achieved contains infinite possibilities, but it does not show genius-like growth in all fields.

The top priority now is to further develop the abilities that you have.

It was a much more rational choice for Verden to postpone those external factors for a long time.

Verden's hands stopped as he went back and forth between the bookshelves.

“Found it.”

[5th Tier – Reinforcement Part 1]

Verden took out a book.

Taking items handled at the tower outside is a clear crime.

Because renting itself was impossible in the first place.

However, I do not plan on staying here and coming and going frequently.

'So, it ends here.'

Verden took his seat on one side of the library.

The blue eyes looking into the book moved without rest.

It is not a simple memorization where you memorize every single letter in your head.

The core message the book is trying to convey.

He interprets the composition of the five-tier magic based on his understanding of the roots of the magic series and his experiences to date.

Until last year, Verden's limiting hierarchy was 1st tier.

It was the worst talent that could ever succeed as a wizard.

But no one dared to match Verden's understanding of magic.

Even the hated Magic Tower owner was judged to be a genius, and was used as a test subject for 7 years to raise the status of the Magic Tower.

Sararak.

The sound of turning the pages of a book quietly brushed past my ears.

… … Soon the sun set.

The main library is open all day.

It wasn't much different from the daytime, as the high-quality magic stone lanterns lit the room.

There were no incidents of theft either. The library that Matap was directly involved in was no different from a fortress.

There was Verden.

Neither my sitting posture nor my breathing had changed from before. The only thing that had changed was the book.

The power of concentration that allows one to completely abstain from food and drink and even suppress human physiological functions is something that Verden has perfected throughout his life.

Sararak.

The bookshelf that goes over again.

The more this happened, the more Verden was moving upward.

* * *

I spent three days at the library.

He poured his enormous understanding into learning new magic.

My head was so hot that my vision was blurry, and my body felt weak, perhaps because I hadn't eaten.

I had no choice but to stay in Lines for a day to fill my stomach and get some sleep.

It was only on the fourth day since Verden had visited Rhine that he was able to leave the city gates again.

He came to a deserted place and soared high into the sky.

Verden, who had broken through the atmosphere and reached above the clouds, gathered even more magical power.

His new appearance began to dazzle.

<Flight Frequency>

5th tier basic magic.

Unlike conventional flight, it cannot change direction or make dynamic movements, but it can move at a faster speed if it is in a straight line.

It was also thanks to this magic that we were able to arrive at Lines from the Gyan Forest earlier than scheduled.

Although it was a high-speed flight that put a considerable strain on the body, it didn't matter to Verden.

Because he manipulated the surrounding atmosphere with his advanced manipulation skills, he thoroughly protected his breathing and body from the recoil.

The sunlit landscape passes by more quickly.

Berden, who was enjoying the pleasant flight, thought about the money he had saved up so far.

The original property and the reward received for completing the commission from Fernet.

And thanks to Kalia, 2.5 billion elk loaned from the bank.

'This is not the end.'

There is also the proceeds from selling the items that were given to Fernet for disposal, as well as the magical items of the black wolf Toreld that Owl disposed of.

Adding all this up, it could easily surpass the expected value of 3.8 billion and even reach 4.5 billion, which is within safe bidding range.

'Plus, if I borrow money from the big boss Bartol, I might be able to try other things too.'

Debt, which is difficult for ordinary people to imagine, was something Berden had no worries about at all.

Money is ultimately just a means to an end. And I have more than enough ability to repay it. Of course, I have no intention of running away.

The fifth rank that Verden reached.

It is a reference point.

The state where one attains enlightenment as a wizard and becomes qualified to become a magician.

This is truly the starting point for revenge.

'Don't hesitate.'

The power plant's management office.

He never forgot the determination and murderous intent he had when he first committed murder.

mixture.

The glory of the corpse.

The third prince of the Estyrian royal family.

They are all from the Kingdom of Estyria who came into conflict with Verden.

It is clear that they are beings that are difficult for a single individual to deal with.

'But it doesn't matter.'

If it gets in the way of your purpose, if it keeps bothering you like a fly, you can just erase it yourself, like you did with Gluttony in the Duchy.

There was no hesitation for Verden, who had more power than before.

Verden, who waves the atmosphere.

At the end of it was the city of Aserne.

* * *

At that moment, the carriages of the Luasians left the Rhine gates.

Bishop Nebiron, along with the knights, paladins, and clerics of Kalia.

Inside the carriage, safely escorted by them, the orbs of Warren and the Commander were each carried separately.

To completely purify the Commander's Orb, a single church is not enough.

The parish of the Luas Church that existed in the kingdom, its noble temple, required a long and painstaking purification by the high priests.

That was Bishop Nebiron's judgment.

And Warrens.

His life was not in danger, but his condition showed no signs of improvement.

So, it was decided to move the Commander's Jewel and go to the parish to receive more advanced treatment.

Warrens lying in a comfortable bed.

My body was in pain, but my mind was at ease.

'I'm so glad I asked for your cooperation, Lady Kalia.'

The corpse's hideout of glory has been subjugated.

There were no old people or women, but the poor people who were held captive were still saved.

And then, until you retrieve the Commander's Orb.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting it at all. I threw myself into the ban with all my might to shake off their pursuit.

After my body recovered, I planned to go find it myself.

No matter how urgent it was, it was never free from responsibility.

If the undead had emerged from the cave and caused widespread damage, Warrens would not have been able to even raise his head.

'You said your name was Asher.'

The person responsible for recovering the Commander's Orb.

And the wizard who saved his life.

He was truly a lifelong benefactor to Warren. He expressed his deep gratitude in his heart.

Then the carriage stopped.

I guess it's time for a break.

The priest entered the carriage.

“Let me just take a moment to check on you, Mr. Warrens.”

“Thank you, clergy.”

It was a test that was done several times a day.

Warren repeatedly thanked them for taking such good care of him.

As usual, the priest grabbed Warren's wrist.

That moment.

“The traitor was here?”

A thin voice was heard.

Warren was so surprised that he was speechless.

A priest circled in front of him.

There was an entity in front of me that should not exist, something that should not exist.

The woman whose back I had seen from afar in the past.

“Everyone, everyone, you…… uh!”

Viola pinched Warren's lips.

“Shh. If I get caught like that, it won’t have been worth my effort to sneak in here.”

A sharp curse flows into my mouth.

Warren struggled, but he was unable to resist.

“Originally, I was planning to kill all the kids here and just retrieve the Commander’s Orb. But do you know what the old man said? He told me to infiltrate the parish until the ritual was complete.”

Viola pouts and tosses her hair.

“So what if the Commander’s Orb is purified? He said he’d take care of it. Even though it looks difficult, I’m also a 5th-tier black magician. Isn’t this being treated too harshly?”

“……!”

“Well, isn’t that something you should say to a traitor who joined the Luas Church? Well, I heard you said you weren’t a traitor, but a warlock from Dark Warton, right? Well, anyway.”

Shh.

Viola smiled creepily.

“They say it’ll take about two months. In the meantime, I want you to be my toy. Don’t refuse, because I’m such a pain in the ass because of you. Okay?”

A slender finger flicked Warren's forehead.

dump.

Warrens is unconscious and his eyes are rolled back. Viola's powerful curse has been successfully applied.

Now he can't remember that conversation.

And every time he sees Viola again, he will react with astonishment.

The cursed magic circle deeply engraved in his body would not be noticed even if a bishop came to examine him.

Viola of white bones.

This was her.

Viola stepped out of the carriage, wondering how she could play with her toy and make this boring time enjoyable.

Of course, the other priests did not notice.

She was bewitched by the clerical shell she wore.

The light of the Luas Church.

In the meantime, an evil darkness lurked.
