Episode 235 Conquest (1)
'… … A quasi-transcendent being?'
Verden blinked slowly.
It was so sudden that it felt unrealistic, beyond simply becoming a magician.
Of course, it is different from the transcendent beings of the world.
It is a level lower than that of an imperfect transcendent being such as an administrator.
Because it was still impossible to reveal the status of a transcendent being or create super-level magic.
However, according to the manager, it was clear that Verden's realm had reached the level of transcendence.
The manager said.
“According to the main body’s memory, you are the only one like this. However, there are similar, if not identical, cases.”
“What is that?”
“It is a special trait.”
There are countless wizards in the world.
A very small number of people are born with a special talent related to magic. This has been called a special trait since ancient times.
“Those with special traits usually display magical abilities that do not fall into the conventional theory of magic. Have you ever seen such people?”
“Yes, there is.”
Two representative examples.
Childhood friend Robelin has a special trait that specializes in the fire series. The fire she embodies is different from that of wizards of the same level.
And Aiden, the sibling he saved from the underworld, is able to heal his wounds with magic power, much like the divine power of the Luas Church.
“Special traits are very similar to magic in terms of their diversity and originality. There are even special traits that are inherited through ‘bloodline’ and ‘memory.’ However, the magic world never recognizes them as magic. Do you know why?”
“It is because of the value of the realm of the magician.”
“Yes. The great goal of a wizard is to become a wizard, and it is the state of enlightenment. We cannot allow someone who does not have the qualifications of a proper wizard to call themselves a wizard just because they have a special trait. My own body also thinks the same way.”
but.
“When analyzed magically, the special trait is part of the magic. The special magic power and magic circuit partially fulfill the conditions. In other words, it can be interpreted that a part of the magic was revealed due to the innate body.”
“A fragment…….”
Verden chewed on the manager's words.
He had always been interested in unique traits, but had never studied them in depth. To him, the Demon King's observations were invaluable.
Magical information about newly discovered special traits.
Verden felt that his knowledge had increased. He was able to write a paper here, based on his personal questions and hypotheses, without any research.
“Then let’s go back to the original topic. If we were to divide the realm, you could be seen as belonging to the same series as those with such special traits. However, that’s all, the actual level is different. Your body is far beyond reason.”
The manager stood up from his seat.
“That’s all I have to say about your realm. So let’s end our conversation here for today. You seem to be very tired as well.”
“I'm fine.”
“It doesn’t seem very convincing to say you’re okay with half-closed eyes. Don’t talk nonsense and just focus on recovering quickly. I have things for you when your injuries are fully healed.”
What will you give?
"which……."
“The administrator has been defeated by you. And Alpha recognizes you as the Demon King. Therefore, unless the main body returns, you are the owner of this facility. Therefore, as the victor, it is your duty to ‘take’ it. That is exactly what I will give you.”
The manager turned his back.
I smiled slightly at Verden as I walked out the door.
“Well, I guess you can look forward to it.”
The sound of footsteps grows distant.
Berden, left alone like that, looked at the ceiling. He looked at his hands as he recalled his conversation with the manager over and over again.
Two reversals.
With that, Verden's body was completely freed from magical limitations. As he focused inside, the realm of the 6th level was transmitted through the magical circuit.
'If I fully awaken to the magic here, will I become a true transcendent being?'
The corners of my mouth twitched without me knowing it.
Even now, he is at a level where he can stand up to a 7th-tier transcendental. After developing the Infinite Magic Way, he proved this by driving the administrator into elemental magic.
I don't know what spiritual enlightenment is.
But it was clear that the path I had taken so far was not wrong. That was why I was able to reach the level of a semi-transcendent being.
So, you just have to keep moving forward without getting caught up.
Verden closed his eyes.
Intuition whispered to his soul.
'for the first time.'
The time has come to begin revenge in earnest.
Consciousness slowly sinks into sleep.
Until then, Verden enjoyed his own afterglow.
* * *
There was no vitality in life as a mercenary.
I ate beef jerky and water for my meals, and whenever it was time to take my potion, I drank the highest-grade potion without hesitation. Thanks to this, the contents of my space bag were dwindling as the days went by.
A day that was truly like a hamster wheel.
After a few days, the injury had finally healed enough to allow him to move.
'The manager told me to focus on getting better, but… … .'
I'm bored. More than anything, my whole body feels sore.
After making his decision, Verden freely manipulated the water to wash his body. What a convenient magic. After that, he put on the clothes he had extra.
It was a blue garment that Conrad had received from the duchy.
“…….”

Yuzu's robe was completely destroyed.
The wizard's regret was that only the legs remained without the upper body. And even that was in rags. It had already lost its function as a magical item.
The same goes for the <Heavyweight Boots>, which are almost split in half.
'It's quite a shame now that I think about it.'
It was a consolation that it was destroyed while it was still fulfilling its purpose. The recovery bracelet disappeared before it could be used properly, though.
Still, it was fortunate that the other equipment, including the Camellia Leather Gloves, were intact.
Verden stood up, staggering.
Using Orient as a walking stick, I slowly left the room. My goal was to tour the facility. Alpha took the lead as my guide.
[Your Majesty the Demon King, I will guide you to Area A-1.]
We followed Alpha deep into the facility.
There were special golems sleeping there, different from the ones roaming the facility. Among them, there was also an accessory in the form of a bracelet.
I heard an explanation from Alpha.
'A golem that records and projects memories, and a magical communication device that allows for long-distance contact.'
Both are techniques that were abandoned by the magical world.
The former was because of the inability to manipulate memories, while the latter had a problem with magical power.
It's not difficult to connect magical powers between people over a long distance, but most wizards can detect it.
Even the more sensitive races of humans and heteromorphs.
In addition, when magical power manipulation reached a certain level, it was possible to artificially manipulate that magical power. Naturally, it was a manipulation technique that Verden could also do.
Communications that can be arbitrarily interfered with from the outside? Of course, they can't be valuable.
Overcoming this problem requires a unique magical connection that most wizards cannot tap into. And they have failed.
'But here's something that's close to success.'
Looking at the blueprint, it appears to incorporate golem technology.
It was a special magical power that allowed golems to receive and communicate with each other. In a way, this was similar to a special trait.
It was almost like an artificial artifact.
[Overall progress 88%. Research resumed after power source was restored.]
The golems are solving the problem of the magical world's frustration.
How on earth did the Demon King create these golems?
And why did they develop magical technologies related to information media? Even the administrators didn't know the reason, so they couldn't help but wonder.
[Your Majesty the Demon King, would you like to explore the facility further?]
“Okay.”
Verden nodded.
Then he turned his gaze to Alpha.
“Alpha, but can’t we change our titles?”
It was inevitable at first, but I felt uncomfortable being called the Demon King all the time. Especially in front of the Administrator, who was the Demon King's clone.
[Your Majesty the Demon King's request has been confirmed. Please tell us the title you wish to change.]
“Let’s call it ‘Verden’.”
You don't have to use a pseudonym here.
Alpha's one eye sparkled.
[Correction confirmed. Changes have been made, Your Majesty Verden.]
“……Why is Your Majesty attached to it?”
[Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Your Majesty Verden is Your Majesty.]
Alpha said firmly.
It was a mechanical voice, but it was resolute and stubborn. I tried to correct myself again, but Alpha still refused my request, saying, “Your Majesty Verden.”
[Your Majesty Verden, I will then guide you to the next facility.]
Alpha often walked out at a leisurely pace.
Is he avoiding the position because he doesn't want to do it? He was a truly human golem.
What would happen if we showed Alpha to the magical world?
It will definitely have a huge impact. Much more so than the multiple continuity theory that Verden created. Since it has the name of the Demon King, it might even turn things upside down.
'Is that the kind of being walking ahead?'
It's mysterious all over again.
Verden, who had been looking at Alpha, soon followed him.
* * *
Time passed again.
Verden swung Orient lightly.
I felt a little awkward, but I quickly got back into it. My wounds also completely healed without leaving any scars.
In Verden's reflection in the mirror, only the magic circle of the reverse sky shone faintly.
“I’m glad you recovered without any problems, Verden.”
“Thanks to the manager.”
“I guess you forgot that I was the one who tried to kill you. Anyway, since you’re all better, follow me.”
I headed to the administrator's office with the administrator.
The door that separated it from the secondary power room was completely destroyed by Alpha, and the interior was scorched by the magical war between Verden and the Administrator.
Now that I look back, I realize how fierce the battle was.
The administrator headed to the back of the collapsed throne.
As he placed his hand on the wall, hidden magical lines began to flicker. Soon, a gap opened up and a dark corridor came into view.
The two headed inside.
“I have two things to give you. But it is still uncertain whether you will get them all. That is because proof is needed.”
“Proof… you mean?”
“To be exact, one has already been proven, so you can take it without much difficulty. However, you can never know the other without directly encountering it. And if it is not acknowledged, even if it is my own body, it is something that I cannot handle.”
“Even the Demon King can’t do anything about it…….”
What on earth is in front of here?
Verden followed the manager quietly, his heart already filled with anticipation.
Eventually, an artificial cavity appeared.
All around was pitch-black darkness, but at the center of it all, a single light stood firm.
Verden, who was looking at it, took a deep breath.
“That’s……!”
It's something I've never encountered before.
But just by looking at it, I realized what that light was.
Anyone with enough knowledge of magical equipment to be able to use <Emotion> will be able to tell at first glance.
My heart is pounding hard.
The manager smiled and pointed to the light.
“That’s an all-in-one piece of equipment that I personally made. It consists of the top, bottom, and even shoes, all in one set.”
It has an overall innocent white color.
And there was a golden starlight near the chest, and the design including each border was also decorated in gold.
The leather armour surrounding the forearms and the shoes were grey in colour.
After a while, the manager introduced himself.
“Also known as [Einver]. This is the first artifact of the Demon King that you will obtain.”
