Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 194

Episode 194 The Awakened Elf (2)

Although their overall appearance may be similar, the internal structure of elves is different from that of humans.

A unique magical circuit possessed by a different race.

A body that uses the magic of nature itself as a means of sustaining life is extremely strange. Even though we may have obtained information from Dreyfus's experimental journal, it cannot be denied that it is limited.

Nevertheless, Verden attempted to restore the elves.

It was an action without even hesitation. There was only one basis for that confidence.

'Because the spirit said so.'

The blonde elf in front of you is a spirit master.

A being that literally controls the power of the spirits. I don't know how they are able to do that, but it was clear that the spirits knew the most about this elf.

So I asked Blue.

He explained the structure of the magic circle designed by Verden and asked if it could be used to restore the elf's body. The emotion Blue showed was an unmistakable affirmation.

The hypothesis has been supported.

That alone makes it worth a try. Of course, we have also put in place safeguards in case something happens.

'There is no worst.'

Hwaak.

Verden manipulated magic.

The spread out magical power was concentrated on the magic stones. The two magic circles that the craftsman had personally carved began to activate simultaneously.

The Alternation

The Link

The waves of magical power flowing from each magic stone intersect with each other.

Where destructive interference occurred, a void was created, and where constructive interference occurred, numerous points of magical power were created.

“It changes magical power into a wave form, and then uses that property to connect the magical power… The composition of the magic circle is very elaborate and delicate. It would not look out of place even if it were displayed as an educational piece at the Academy.”

Edmon, who had become a full-fledged audience member, had shining eyes.

But it's still too early to be surprised.

This is just the foundation, after all, and the real point is from now on.

Verden raised his head.

Blue met their gaze and reacted immediately.

Blue slowly lowered his altitude.

Then, the moment the body touched one of the magic points, something strange happened.

Magic lines connecting dots were created, lines met to create magic planes, and planes intersected to create space.

'It's finished.'

Verden has reaped his magic.

However, the magic circle did not stop working. The space surrounding the elf was maintained without any shaking.

Edmon couldn't take his eyes off the sight.

“Asher… I lack knowledge, but could you explain it to me?”

“A space made of magical power, aka ‘Sanctuary’.”

The elf's body was very weak.

There was even a possibility that the body would collapse if too much magic was injected into it. This shelter was created to eliminate such a risk.

“The effect of the shelter is twofold: one is the uniformity of magical power.”

The sanctuary is separated from the outside world.

The entire interior space has a completely even flow of magical power. Since it is not known where to focus recovery, the design was designed to promote more balanced recovery.

“I see. That would be safer, and the average recovery time would be shorter. I understand. Then what about the other one?”

“The other one is control.”

* * *

"control?"

Maintaining the magic circle, controlling magic power, and checking status.

You need to check these three things in real time while recovering the elf.

Of course, it is possible in a short period of time.

However, as the nerves are scattered, it is difficult to maintain very fine control continuously, even for Verden.

You can't gamble with something you can't be sure of.

“Oh, so that’s why you brought that spirit?”

"you're right."

Blue is the source of magical power.

As you can see, he's maintaining the shelter in place of Verden. That was the overall design of the shelter and one of the reasons he brought Blue.

"her……."

Edmon's mouth opened.

Magic circles are a type of magic that contains endless possibilities.

Just by handling magic circles above a certain level, you can gain various magical abilities.

Naturally, the path is not easy.

The study of magic circles is so difficult to master that it is not without reason that magicians avoid it.

If Beomjae were to study magic circles, he would have to devote himself to it for 10 or 20 years.

Wizards are also people.

It is natural that one is attracted to nearby wealth and honor rather than something in the distant future.

But to think that such a complex magic circle could be designed in just a little over two weeks. No, if you exclude the time spent on crafting magic stones, it would have been about a week.

'Who on earth raised such a wizard?'

Edmon felt dizzy for a moment.

He shook his head, regained his senses, and asked another question.

“Wait. Wait, Asher. The magic that makes up that haven must be yours, right?”

"yes."

“I know that elves use nature’s magic as the basis of their lives… Does that mean that your magic is that pure?”

The magic of others.

The degree of purity is difficult to judge accurately, unless you have extremely developed senses. At best, you can only guess roughly.

Edmon, the wizard, also fell into that category.

To which Verden replied:

“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be here.”

Verden took a step forward.

I approached one of the magic stones that formed a resting place.

All six magic stones have two magic circles engraved with their shape-changing abilities and connections.

However, there is one more magic circle engraved on the magic stone in front of you.

He placed his right hand on the magic stone with the magic circuit activated.

Light flowed out from the sleeping magic circle. Two blue rings rose up and wrapped around Verden's back of hand and wrist respectively.

The magical power control of the Sanctuary came under Verden's control.

“I already told you, but I’ll say it again. If you want to save the elves, don’t resist if possible.”

Twinkle.

Blue shone with a positive light.

Immediately afterwards, Verden slowly twisted his hand.

The amount of magical power supplied from Blue increased. The concentration of magical power evenly spread within the shelter gradually increased.

He lowered his gaze and examined the elf.

My breathing became stronger, even if only slightly.

The direction is correct.

So now all you have to do is move forward.

Verden watched the elf closely and increased his concentration.

Blue is a spirit who has been granted the magical power of none other than Verden. There is no way that the magical power would be depleted to this extent.

Time goes by little by little.

In the silence and tension, Edmon even hid his breathing. It was a sight he would never see in his entire life, seeing an elf healed by a magic circle he had never seen before.

This was something I absolutely had to see, no matter what.

at that time.

Bustle.

The elf's hand moved.

My breathing became more regular, and my vitality also felt stronger. If I just maintain the magic concentration like this, I will recover soon.

'I didn't waste my time.'

Soon, the elf's eyelids fluttered and strength began to build.

The green eyes that were revealed outside were reminiscent of a forest. Perhaps not yet in his right mind, his focus wandered aimlessly before finally stopping at Berden.

“Are you awake?”

“…….”

The elf stared blankly.

That moment when the focus gradually became clearer.

“This, human…?!”

The elf opened his eyes wide.

Grasp! The elf suddenly got up and bounced up like a spring.

Have my bodily functions returned to that level already?

It's a resilience that exceeds expectations. I thought the best I could do was raise my hand.

however.

Pfft! Pfft!

“Ugh?!”

The leaping elf crashed into the metal ceiling.

The prison cell rang loudly and the elf fell to the floor. His eyes rolled back, indicating that he had lost consciousness. He had hit so hard that blood flowed from the back of his head.

“……Was the ceiling too low?”

“…….”

“…….”

Verden and Blue were speechless.

* * *

I worked hard to get the elf to recover, but he fainted again.

He hit his head hard enough to cause the metal ceiling to cave in. It was a somewhat absurd situation, but Verden soon came to his senses.

I put the elf to bed and started the shelter with Blue.

Whoa whoa whoa.

Gradually the bleeding stops and the injury heals.

Just as the elf regained consciousness, Edmon unleashed his magic. The magical power, transformed into wind, suppressed the elf's actions.

“Ugh……!”

“Please bear with me for a moment. It’s better than having the back of your head explode again… Is that okay now?”

“Okay.”

Edmon released his magic.

At the same time, a magic stone flew in. A magical chain stretched out from the binding magic circle and entangled the elf. The elf, with a flash of life, went berserk.

“Humans! Release me now! Before I tear your limbs off!”

It's a rough anger that doesn't match her pretty appearance.

I don't think that using force will work.

So, I have no choice but to use something else.

“Blue, calm down.”

Blue approached the elf, sparkling.

The elf who was breaking the chain of magic gradually stopped moving. The elf who was looking straight at Blue let out a voice.

“……Foret?”

Forret?

Is that Blue's real name?

Blue blinked when I called the unfamiliar name.

A warm feeling was felt from the flowing magic. The elf's eyes filled with tears as he missed his long-awaited friend.

“I think I’ve calmed down a bit now… It’s really touching. Sob. Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve gotten older and my emotions have gotten more sensitive.”

Edmon rubbed his eyes, wiping away the tears.

Verden looked at Elf and Blue with a blank expression. It was definitely a dramatic reunion, so he was willing to wait a moment.

but.

“Foret… you, your body…! What is that engraved inside of it?!”

The elf noticed Blue's change.

And also the compulsory magic circle engraved within it.

At that moment, Elf and Verden met eyes.

The elf was convinced.

“You……! It’s you! The one who did this to Forret! And you even bullied my friend…… You heartless human! I will definitely kill you!”

The elf became enraged again and went berserk.

Blue tried to calm him down, but it was too much. The elf had almost lost his senses and was unable to communicate with him.

“Are elves originally like this?”

Edmon said he had seen an elf.

When Verden asked for advice, Edmon stroked his beard and recalled the past.

“When I was young, out of curiosity, I once invaded elven territory. Then, I met an elf and greeted him, and suddenly he came chasing me with dozens of them or something. He was shooting arrows full of murderous intent. At that time, I was in the lower 4th rank, and I almost ended my life there.”

“……Are there any other experiences?”

“I did try to contact the elf a few times. And once I subdued it and tried to talk to it, and we actually exchanged a few words.”

and.

“I was chased by hundreds of elves after being cursed at. Hehe, I got an arrow stuck in my leg and it was chaos. After that, I stopped being friendly with elves. I thought I would really die next time.”

Edmon chuckled, saying it was a fond memory.

“Anyway. Elves don’t like humans. They especially don’t like humans who invade their territory. But that guy was experimented on by humans and almost died… It’ll take a long time for his hatred to subside. Trying to suppress it by force would be counterproductive. I know that from experience.”

Anyway, is it possible to have a conversation?

But Verden had no intention of waiting leisurely for the elf.

“Move aside.”

Twinkle… …?!

Blue shook his body in confusion.

He tried to convince her that he could calm the elf's anger himself. However, the moment he faced the cold wall, Blue had no choice but to tremble and turn away.

“Foret!”

The sight made the elf burn with even more hatred.

He spat out every curse he could find and hurled murderous intent without holding back. Verden approached the elf and flashed his magic.

<Magic Pressure>

Hwaaaaah!

The pressure of magic took hold of the prison.

Crash. The bricks that made up the floor cracked and broke.

“Ugh……!”

Edmon hesitated and swallowed, and the spirit hurriedly hid under the bed. The elf at the center of the pressure completely stiffened.

Cold sweat dripping down.

Verden, who had taken control of the atmosphere in an instant, spoke softly.

“Have you calmed down now?”

“…….”

“Nod your head if you understand.”

… … Nod.

The elf nodded slightly.

It's completely different from the previous appearance.

It seemed that his anger was controlled by Verden's magical power.

“Is that okay?”

Edmon's knowledge increased.
