Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 232

Episode 232: The Magical Island (2)

He opened his eyes.

My senses were hazy. My blank gaze was filled with pitch-black darkness. When I lowered my head, there was only a pure white body lying in the center of the abyss.

There was nothing else. Nothing could be heard. He was the only one in this dark space.

Consciousness becomes clearer and clearer.

A question arose in my foggy mind.

Who am I? I can't remember my name or face. I can't even remember what I've been doing up until now. My memory is as clear as if it's been erased.

Where on earth is this place that causes oblivion?

At that moment, a road unfolded before my eyes.

It's a wide, long, lightning-plagued road.

I slowly moved my eyes to see where it was headed. The end of the path led to the top of a huge mountain range.

The peak could not be seen because of the thick thunderclouds.

He unconsciously took a step closer.

Then he realized who he was. Verden. As soon as he realized who he was, color returned to his once white body.

And the second step.

As I put my left foot down, my life unfolded. I began to gradually recall what I had wanted to do and what I had been doing.

As I walked, the memories and feelings became clearer.

Before he knew it, Verden had reached the entrance to the road.

Coming here, I naturally learned about the identity of the road.

'Lightning Magic.'

If you walk in front of this lightning-filled place, Verden will break out of the wizard mold. A wizard. That powerful power will be of great help in the immediate ordeal.

But I couldn't walk.

Looking sideways, another magic path unfolded. A path made of flames. But that wasn't all. Magic paths made of each type of magic surrounded Verden.

Not only the elemental series, but also the buff series and the spirit series were visible. There was even something that appeared to be black magic.

There were countless magic spells.

I see an unexplored path. Perhaps one that no one has walked before.

On the other hand, there were also well-maintained paths. It was obvious that someone had walked them. Among them, there were paths that someone would walk.

The time zones are messed up.

In the midst of the chaotic chaos, Verden held his ground.

I looked around and saw countless choices facing me.

The moment he chooses one of these many magic swords, Verden will become the magician he has longed to become.

But I didn't choose it. There was no reason to choose it.

'Because I am the center.'

You can be anything, you can achieve anything.

The frame that once confined him had long since been broken. The body he held in his hands was a veritable collection of possibilities.

I closed my eyes carefully.

At the same time, the abyssal sky split open and the silence was broken. Light streamed in through the gap and the surroundings began to crumble.

Everything is out of balance.

Yet Verden showed no signs of agitation. He was simply calm.

I figured out which path to take.

There was no fear. I didn't even think it was the wrong direction. That was the path that Verden had walked until now.

In the rising consciousness, the wish I had when reconstructing my body comes to mind.

Infinite possibilities, unbound by limitations.

Magic <Infinity>.

* * *

Kugugugugugu!

The axis of the facility is shaken.

A huge storm of magical power swept through, overwhelming the flow. It was a powerful torrent. It was a force that even the administrator who broke the seal found difficult to resist.

He couldn't hide his embarrassment as he was pushed back.

‘What the heck is this… … .’

I know something happened.

It's probably one of his hidden secrets.

But this was far from what was expected.

An unprecedented power. The situation unfolding before my eyes was sudden. Above all, it was a magical power that could even affect a transcendent being.

The administrator interpreted the phenomenon from the perspective of the Demon King.

'Could it be that the magic was developed at that moment?'

No, that can't be it.

The scale of the change was too different for that to be the case. No matter how different each individual's reaction to becoming a magician was, it was a change outside the norm.

This was… … almost like the awakening of a transcendent being.

'A wizard who hasn't even reached the 6th level is a transcendent being? There's no way something as ridiculous as that could happen…!'

That was when.

The magical power that had been running wild indiscriminately suddenly subsided.

The air became still. At its center was Verden.

Although his physical condition was still dire, his face had a stronger color than before.

It's a powerful presence.

The manager let out a small gasp of shock at that fact.

“Transcendent……!”

It's imperfect.

But that too is transcendence.

Verden grabbed his left shoulder with his right hand.

Quadduk! He roughly tore off the robe of the yuzu and the magician's regret. They were already so damaged that they had lost their function long ago.

Exposed upper body.

A magic circle of reversal that stretched from the arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, and legs. Blue magic energy flowed and glowed from the scars that were clearly carved by a sword.

The manager instinctively analyzed the magic circle.

There are parts of the unknown structure that cannot be interpreted even with the knowledge of the Demon King. However, I have a rough idea of what it is.

I couldn't even laugh.

“The magic circle that forcibly changes the body… You have violated the taboo of the magic world. That power will hasten your destruction as a magician. Young magician, is there any point in trying to win like that? The moment the magic circle’s duration ends, your magic circuits will be completely destroyed.”

“I am different.”

“How can you be sure?”

“Because I’m standing here right now.”

Permanent damage to the body, including destruction of magical circuits and loss of lifespan.

Such a reversal, the side effects of reformation, did not apply to the current Verden. The body that was reconstructed in the past has now completely escaped its limitations.

'But there is a time limit.'

The duration of the reverse flow is 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, you will lose the status of an incomplete transcendent being. The magic power of the heart that was unlocked right away will also be sealed again and all magic power will be depleted.

There has to be a settlement in it.

Orient was recovered.

The magic circuit was activated with electricity and the magic was activated.

Infinity. I feel an indescribable sense of omnipotence.

It was an overwhelming power, as if connected to the power source of the magic tower.

“……I told you I was generous.”

“That’s right.”

“I will correct this. You are as crazy as I am.”

The manager took the first stance.

He judged the challenger in front of him to be of the same class.

The tension of silence.

No signal was needed.

As magic collides, light spreads.

Two transcendent beings moved around him.

Towards the end of the magic war.

* * *

Elements collide with elements.

The atmosphere shook with shock that could have brought down a large city. In such fierce fighting, it was none other than Verden who had the upper hand.

The manager stepped back, blocking the blow with a wall of ice.

'This is truly a dangerous magic road.'

Verden swung his staff.

Then, the crimson flames poured down, transforming into hundreds of arrows. Four lightning bolts rained down from the air, and a blade of gravity flew from behind.

It is not a magic that belongs to the hierarchy.

The magical power that was transformed by the image was soon manifested as magic. In other words, it was as if Verden himself had become the will of magic itself.

In addition, Ma-an is also being used as a polarity.

A magical system that even breaks the hierarchy, Infinite.

That was the true identity of the magic that Verden had pioneered.

Boom! Boom!

The shield screams.

It was a power and speed that did not even allow a response. Verden did not allow the administrator time to calculate high-level magic.

'then.'

Released the magic.

The bitter cold pierced my lungs.

“Ugh……!”

My magical power wavered for a moment, but I held on and bought some time.

Countless lightning bolts strike indiscriminately.

The new form of the manager who took advantage of that gap was shot forward. It was to acknowledge the disadvantage of being at a distance and change the stage to close range.

Their staffs intersect with each other.

They each showed off their skills without giving an inch of hesitation. Finally, the manager who had put Orient together stretched out his right hand.

<Arcane: Impact>

At that time, Verden also joined hands.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

A massive shock wave occurred.

The manager slammed his staff on the floor to slow down the pace. His blue eyes shook violently as he raised his head.

“How did you <Arcane>……!”

Although the level is lacking, it is clearly the skill of the Demon King.

Imitation? Are you saying that you have seen through the intricacies of magical power operation?

'Wasn't magic limited to elemental magic?'

I have no choice but to admit it.

The magic developed by the young wizard before your eyes is comparable to that of the Magic King.

From a distance, Verden spat out blood.

I staggered for a moment, but the counter-strike was maintained. I endured the pain that felt like my lens would burst and activated the magic eye.

Quadra casting.

Exclusive to magicians of the 6th rank or higher. A top-tier technique that consumes dozens of times more magical power than conventional magic.

Its power is truly fatal.

Four magics that are synthesized.

The center of the three primary colors and the magic of infinity are combined to create one magic.

<Chaos>

A rush of dark purple spheres.

The manager immediately flew up, kicking his seat backwards. At that moment, the inflated sphere exploded and shot various attribute magic towards the opponent.

“……!”

This number is dangerous.

It can't be stopped by a shield.

<Distortion>

7th tier space magic.

Ignoring the magical power consumption, he instantly twisted the space.

The magic spells that had lost their direction flew in all directions and collided. The manager who barely escaped the crisis lowered his altitude.

In front of the gray throne.

The manager who returned to his original position looked tired. His presence had weakened as much as it could. He also had little magic left.

“Ugh, ugh…….”

Verden is also tired.

His breathing was so thin that it felt like he would stop breathing at any moment, and even with his strong mental strength, he had difficulty maintaining a clear consciousness.

Also, there are only 2 minutes left until the reversal ends.

They both had a gut feeling.

The next workshop will be the last.

“……To think that you’ve come this far. I’m truly ashamed that I took your challenge for granted. You’re already qualified.”

“…….”

“So, young wizard, give it your all until the end. So that you can survive.”

The manager's magic was entangled.

Blue and gold interlocked to create a green magic. His eyes also turned the same color.

The Demon King's Magic Sword <Origin>.

Beyond the extremes lies the source and beginning of the elements.

The administrator's magical power was concentrated at one point.

A white flame blooming like a candle appeared in the world.

I have read it in a book.

Berden's thoughts, realizing the identity, accelerated further.

Fire, water, ice, wind, gravity, lightning, earth.

A list of elemental magic spells that Verden could use immediately appeared in his head.

But there was no answer here.

'My magic is useless in the face of that flame.'

To counter it, you need super magic, but you can't use it.

Because Verden had not yet achieved complete transcendence, magic power was the only answer.

<Arcane: Magic Fusion>

All remaining magical power was concentrated in Orient.

Some of the magical power usage methods obtained by imitating <Arcane> were incorporated into it.

The preparations are complete.

Finally, the decisive move was made.

Super magic.

<El RebioEl Rebio>

The primordial flame approaches.

At the same time, Verden extended his staff. A torrent of pure magical power swelled, drawing a line across the space.

Kwakwakwakwakwa!

Magic and magical power are at odds.

The space that was touched by a power beyond recognition was distorted. In the aftermath, the management office that had been holding up until now began to split apart.

It seemed like a close fight, but the balance soon tipped.

“……!……!!”

Verden was pushed.

I tried to hold on tenaciously, but it was impossible. The floor beneath my feet cracked under the indescribable weight.

The pain from the wounds became more severe as the burden increased. Consciousness was repeatedly cut off and then resumed.

The manager looked at the sight with pity.

'I don't want to kill.'

If he survives, he may one day become a magician on par with the Demon King, or even better. I don't want to crush that kind of existence before it can blossom.

But I couldn't resist.

The administrator's mission takes priority over his wishes. Appealing to the Demon King's personality did not give him the option to spare the intruder.

The world is burning white.

The magical beam that was opposing him was no exception. The primordial flame slowly approached the challenger.

Verden's eyes suddenly lost focus.

Even though he lost consciousness, he still retained his magical power. It was a will and determination that even the personality of the Demon King was astonished.

What on earth is he looking at that he is enduring?

But it doesn't mean anything.

It's obvious that if we continue like this, we'll die.

It was at that time.

Hwaaaaaaaah!

An unknown change occurred in Verden.

The pure blue magic began to turn pitch black, and a crimson border made it appear clearly.

This feeling of oppression.

“What the heck is that…….”

It is not even in the knowledge of the Demon King.

I turned my gaze to Verden, but he was still unconscious. That was an unconscious act.

A crimson magical power that brings to mind the word destruction.

It touched the primordial flame. The heterogeneous power and white flame were perfectly symmetrical, and eventually mixed together completely to form a powerful force field.

────!

A flash of gray.

A wave of destruction engulfed the entire management office.

* * *

… … Silence flowed.

The light that had illuminated the management office was mostly gone due to the aftershock. A faint darkness fell over the ruins.

The broken gray throne.

The manager appeared from a gap in the half-collapsed staircase. He walked slowly, then lost his balance and fell to one knee.

The white staff served as a support.

“……Wow, it’s amazing, it’s almost great.”

The primordial flame has gone out.

Even if the administrator was just a clone on the borderline of the 7th tier, it was clearly the first-tier magic of the Demon King. This was not lacking in being considered an achievement.

I looked at the debris at my feet.

The administrator's office collapsed despite being protected by the magic of the Demon King. I could feel how powerful the power was in the magic battle just before.

What on earth was that magic?

The manager struggled to get up.

He raised his head and looked around to find Verden. A large door on the other side of the manager came into view.

And in front of it was a pile of debris, probably fallen from the cracked ceiling.

“…….”

A staff lying on the floor.

There is no sign of the young wizard.

The manager's face hardened.

no way.

“Is he dead?”

Thud!

Verden rose from the rubble.
