Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 231

Episode 231: The Magical Island (1)

In high-level elemental magic, there is magic that takes on the form of animals.

It's not just a simple imitation of their form. It's a reproduction of their unpredictable movements. Such magic unfolds before Verden's eyes.

Boom! Boom!

The ice eagle flew and blew itself up.

As I endured the cold and moved forward, a net of lightning was spread out. I tore it apart with <Earth Claw> and took another step forward.

'Is it a snake this time?'

A lava snake with the earth as its body and red flames as its soul.

A magic born from fire and earth, with an overwhelming sense of aggression, charged forward with its mouth wide open.

Verden's accident accelerated.

The concentration I had been maintaining was about to loosen, but I held on with my mental strength. As I stood on the edge of death, I felt as if my mind and body had become one.

<Outburst>

The condensed wind exploded.

Verden, who had endured the shock, controlled his flight. He dodged the snake and rushed straight at the manager. He rotated his entire body to add more destructive power to the end of Orient.

Oh my god!

I was blocked by the staff.

And the administrator's shield is already capable of regeneration.

It doesn't matter though.

The distance has been shortened, so now it's time to bite and hang on. The manager must not give them a chance to cast powerful magic.

Verden, with his fighting spirit fully displayed, became a storm.

The manager was attacked by an irregular mix of Orient shockwaves and elemental magic. As the damage was repeated several times, the shield distorted slightly.

It was proof that the power was working.

The manager who met with Verden and the staff said.

“You seem confident in close combat. To risk your life and break through magic to break my shield. It must certainly be an effective tactic, given your senses and judgment.”

“……?!”

Thud!

Verden's posture collapsed in a moment of skill.

“But it seems that the literature you read about the Dark King didn’t contain much detailed information. It says that the Dark King has no weaknesses, including in magic warfare. Even in close combat.”

The manager approached.

The white staff drew a belated afterimage. The dazzling movements, where illusion and reality were carelessly mixed together, were impossible to predict.

A speed that cannot be kept up with even with <Physical Amplification>. The administrator also strengthened his physical abilities with the magic of enchantment.

Its rank was higher than Verden's.

Just three crosses.

The first one held, but the second one bounced Orient out.

The third time, the reinforced automatic magic barrier was split. Despite its enhanced durability, it was unable to exert any force in front of the administrator.

And the fourth blow.

Woozijik!

The staff member punched him in the stomach.

It was a pain as if my organs were being crushed, not to mention split. Verden, who had fallen far away, squeezed out his magical power.

He performed a sliding technique while flying.

“Ugh……!”

Thud.

Blood is pouring out from inside.

Even the wound that had been frozen with great effort began to spurt out blood. It was not something that could be recovered with a recovery bracelet.

Verden, his knees giving way, fell to the ground.

'The Demon King is in close combat.'

That too is incomparable to Verden.

It's a story I've never heard before. After all, he's the Demon King, so there probably weren't many situations where he would show off his close combat skills.

They would all have died from his magic before they could even get close.

'I guess things don't always go as planned.'

He got up after tending to his injuries.

The manager watched the scene intently. The distance grew longer again.

I took a deep breath and woke up my tired senses.

I desperately pushed my way through the magic. My body was tattered, but I didn't stop, until I reached the edge.

“How reckless.”

The staff is swayed.

The target was the abdomen again. Verden did not dodge. He raised his weight with the <Heavy Boots> and lowered his body.

The moment the blow reached him, he grabbed the staff and dispersed the shock throughout his body.

This time it didn't fly away.

Verden groaned deeply, having completely withstood the impact. It felt like his ribs had been broken.

The manager looked down at him.

“Are you giving me your flesh in exchange for my bones? How can you possibly take my bones in that state?”

I plan to show it to you without you having to rush me.

The eyes of the devil flickered.

Tears of blood flowed from excessive use. Gray magic formed in his hands.

'Is that star magic?'

The administrator was wary of some kind of magic.

I kept my eyes on Verden, but the direction I felt the presence was in the opposite direction.

'……back?'

The manager turned his head.

Orient flew towards Verden by remote retrieval function, the Milky Way formed at its tip. Meanwhile, Verden approached and grabbed the administrator's arm.

“Did you come this close to prevent me from properly forming a protective shield?”

That's correct.

Verden's magical resistance.

It is impossible to completely protect the body with a shield while he is attached. Even if it is the magic of the transcendent, it cannot invade Verden.

Immediately after that.

Comet, Rarenia.

The torrent of the Milky Way engulfed the two of them.

Verden was thrown back, and the manager raised his staff to block it head-on. He was pushed back by the strong physical force, but that was it.

There was no significant damage.

“It was truly a painstaking effort. However, it is not enough to call it a magic of conversion. It would have been better to have used that falling star…….”

The manager stopped talking.

A dark cluster of stars shimmered around my body. At the same time, the flow of magical power began to lose control.

Traces of stars.

The comet's torrent goes against the flow.

"……no way."

The manager felt the chill.

At the end of his gaze was Verden. As he lifted Orient into the air, an aurora burst out from the golden jewel.

<Aurora Realm>

Increases casting speed of elemental magic and greatly increases elemental resistance.

The flow of magical power became smoother. It was a sensation that was in contrast to the manager. Fire and lightning formed on each of Verden's hands that soared into the air.

I took a deep breath and made eye contact with the manager on the ground.

“Now, it’s my turn.”

Two properties are combined into one.

Soon, the elemental bombardment of the administrator began.

* * *

Magic ran wild indiscriminately.

He unleashed the most powerful spells he knew without hesitation. Even though the administrator was out of sight, he did not stop.

Magic power was rapidly consumed.

'It has to end here.'

Now is the perfect opportunity.

We must use all available means.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The floor was set ablaze by flames.

From the cold, frozen ceiling, countless icicles poured down. When they combined, steam rose up, and the whole area was turned upside down by a gravitational vortex.

Warm lower layers.

Cold upper layer.

Unstable air.

When the conditions were right, thunderclouds formed.

It was all artificial and could not be compared to nature, but it was enough as a stage. Soon after, the Orient was retrieved as soon as <The Realm of Aurora> ended.

<Elementalization>

The attribute is lightning.

Thunder echoed around my body.

<Lightning>

A huge bolt of lightning penetrated the clouds.

The lightning split into thousands of pieces was controlled with <Brain Spirit>. Gravity compression is required here, but it cannot be used in an elemental state.

'But a replacement is possible.'

I used <Brainstorm> once again to overlap it, and then gathered lightning with all my might. After a while, a light source formed at the center of the thunderstorm.

I forcibly pulled it down.

<Ruin>

The light source fell through the atmosphere.

The moment it hit the ground.

────!

A silent flash of light consumed the space.

A huge blue pillar rose up, dispelling the thunderstorm and touching the ceiling. Soon, the pillar disappeared.

Smoke and silence settled in the place where the intense heat and light had disappeared.

“Ugh, ugh…….”

Verden gasped for breath.

A sharp pain shot through his head. Blood flowed out from the blood vessels in his eyes, and his injuries worsened due to the excessive use of magical power. It was truly a full-scale blow.

It was difficult to maintain the flight, so I went down. I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth with my hand.

'There is no sign… … of anything.'

The magic power disappeared completely.

Does that mean the manager is dead? Still, I didn't let my guard down and kept an eye on the situation.

That moment.

“It was absolutely wonderful.”

“……!!”

The black smoke cleared and the manager appeared.

He too was covered in wounds. There were clear signs of having been hit repeatedly by Verden's magic.

And yet he was still alive.

‘Was it lacking in power… …!’

“I couldn’t help but be surprised by the magic that disrupted the flow of magical power. This was probably a carelessness that only the Dark Lord could do. Because of that, it took time to regain control. And the magic that followed. It was certainly a desperate measure. But it wasn’t enough.”

The manager, who had regained his appearance, approached me.

Verden tried to react, but the recoil from the forced magic did not recover. Before he knew it, the manager approached him and placed a hand on his body.

<Arcane: Impact>

The shockwave tore through the exterior and interior of the body.

The wizard's regret was shattered, and Yuza's robes were torn apart as they could not hold up. Verden, who had hit the wall, fell down, spitting out blood.

My vision is blurry as if it's going to break.

His body wouldn't listen to him. He tried to get up, but collapsed and his back hit the floor. The manager walked towards him again.

At that moment, a light flashed beneath the manager's feet.

The Dexar Jewel received from Gelton. The magic circle contained within enveloped the administrator.

Bohemian Tower.

One of the sealing magic circles of Baloch Besias, <Yusu>.

The manager looked at the composition of the magic circle.

“That’s a pretty high-level seal. But to think of trapping me in a magic circle at that moment is an awe-inspiring tenacity. But this kind of thing only serves to buy time.”

His hand touched the magic circle.

As the magic power began to distort, the seal began to break down little by little.

As Verden tried to get up again, the manager shook his head.

“It is impossible to continue the magic war any longer. Even if you rise again, it will be the same. I still have enough magic left to kill you.”

The administrator's presence has been greatly reduced from its original level.

However, he was still a transcendent being, and even if Verden was at full power, he would still have the power to kill him. Since he had already experienced it, the same tricks would no longer work on him.

“Coolook, coolook! More, I can do…….”

“Give up. Skill is proportional to talent and effort, not age, but you were too early. If you had challenged me 10 years later, you would never have regretted it…….”

Regrets? Not at all.

Verden had no regrets. Even at this moment when he had been brutally beaten and collapsed. He took a deep breath and put strength into his muscles again.

The manager's voice became heavy.

“Young wizard, why do you want to rise up like that? Why on earth? Is there something you want to achieve even if you have to throw away your life like a blade of grass?”

I don't want to do that.

There is something that must be accomplished.

Verden trembled and raised his right arm.

Was it because he had lost so much blood, or was it because this was the first time he had been pushed to the edge by an opponent of such a high level? His mind, which had become infinitely clear, was seething with anger and hatred.

It was not some trivial agony, but the sincerity in his heart.

'……plural.'

I want to tear down the Bohemian Tower, where I lived a nightmare life.

I want to tear apart the magicians of the Magic Tower who took advantage of my helplessness.

I want to kill the magician who trampled on me so cruelly for loving and pursuing magic purely.

What is pain?

What despair is.

I want to let them know too.

By the magic of the weak who were nothing more than test subjects.

I can't just fall down like this.

I swore to myself that I would not die until I had my revenge.

Verden bit his molars.

“You did your best.

“…….”

“You are already at your limit.”

……margin?

A vein appeared on Verden's forehead.

“Smile, don’t be so mean……!”

No one in this world dares to confine themselves to a frame with the word limit, whether it be the Demon King or the Goddess Luas.

My mind is clear and I still have some magic left.

It's not a problem even if the manager is stronger than he thought. The being in front of him is an imperfect transcendent being even if he uses the magic of the Demon King and the magic.

It is inadequate compared to a fully-ripened Matapju. In the end, it is only a stepping stone for a journey of revenge.

Ready to trample.

Verden clenched his fist tightly, reaching out to the sky.

That was when.

“……!”

The tattered leather sleeves fell off.

Between them, a magic circle of reverse flow was visible from the arm that was revealed. Strangely, a more powerful magical power than usual was flowing through the magic circle.

Even though I'm so tired, even though I've used up so much magic power, I'm still calling out to Verden, blinking. I'm still trying to find a secret weapon.

Verden's focus became clear.

ah.

‘… … Was it like that?’

Yes, yes, I get it now.

What is the meaning of the magic flowing through the magic circle of the reverse sky? What on earth do the changes that have occurred in one's body mean?

It wasn't just Verden's thoughts that were truly prepared.

Verden raised his remaining left arm.

Just before the seal was broken, the manager thought for a moment that he might be giving up, but he was wrong.

The magician who had broken his own limits in the past had a smile of anticipation on his lips. He soon twisted his wrist and turned his palm towards himself.

“Open your heart.”

A glowing magic circle.

A magical circuit that is forcibly expanded.

Verden's second reversal begins.
