Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 239

Episode 239 Out (2)

The civil war in the kingdom stirred up all the nobles.

Political battles that are fought only through dialogue are secondary. What is needed is force. The victory of the prince that each side supports is the only hope.

Some gave their fortunes, soldiers, and a sense of loyalty full of greed, while others went to battle hoping for the safety of themselves and their families.

As the years go by, the kingdom's fortunes are on a downward slope.

Moreover, this year has been driven to the brink by the undead crisis and civil war. Those with common sense, such as adventurers, merchants, citizens, and information brokers, are leaving the kingdom.

I was convinced that nothing good would come of staying like this.

But neither the king, nor the prince, nor the nobles care.

They were a group of people who only cared about their own goals and didn't care what happened to other people.

Even though the country was in ruins, he never gave up his desire to become an omnipotent ruler.

It may be possible because there is faith that the country will not perish no matter how bad it may be.

Looking around, there were still only neutral nobles.

A group of nobles led by the Marquis of Esperenza.

They are those who pledged loyalty to the Kingdom of Estyria, not to the royal family.

It was their self-appointed duty to check and monitor the princes and nobles who put greed ahead of ability, and to act for the sake of the kingdom.

The Marquis led his faction to a nearby city where civil war was taking place.

The official reason was to watch the battle situation, predict the winner, discuss how to check the new king, and how to rebuild the declining kingdom.

“In that situation, Wintert would target Asher… I can’t understand his intentions.”

Fernet nodded as if he agreed with Kalia's words.

It was natural that they didn't know. They didn't know about Leonil's experiments.

Only a very small number of people outside of those involved knew the inside story.

“…….”

Karans, with his arms crossed, remained silent.

It was a promise between them that they would not reveal anything related to the experiment. The blue hidden in Fernet's arms was shining softly.

Kalia said.

“Well, in any case, I can’t just stand by and watch as Bintert runs wild. Especially if he attacks someone under the protection of the Marquis. I’m glad I was able to get you all on the plane safely.”

“It’s all thanks to Lady Kalia.”

This is the cabin of the Marquis's flying boat.

The Velos that Kalia brought to rescue Perne and Karans was the flying machine previously used to track down the Glory of the Corpse.

This time I didn't steal.

Since it was near Lines, I was notified of the emergency and was granted temporary permission to use it… … I don’t think I got a proper answer from the person in charge.

anyway.

"……ha."

Vespa, the knight commander standing next to him.

He sighed and made a worried sound in his voice.

“Lady Kalia, I’m glad that the rescue operation went well, but the problem is what comes next.”

“You mean the non-aggression pact with Wintert? I know. And they probably know that Fernet and Asher are friends with us. They were the ones who broke the pact first.”

“That’s the problem. In the end, wasn’t the treaty broken?”

Up until now, the Marquis Wintert and Esperensa had never invaded each other's territory. Since the signing of the non-aggression pact, this was the first time that a situation like this had occurred.

'Is Asher that important to Wintert?'

What happened between them?

Or maybe the goal is to drag Asher into Wintert?

'Then it's not that I don't understand… … But even so, there's no way he would go into Wintert. If it were the Asher I know.'

In the end, it's a question again.

Well, you'll find out when you meet Asher later. That's what Callie thought.

“It is true that Wintert, who broke the treaty, is a great threat. To make matters worse, neither my father, Grandfather Edmon, nor Lord Melzadr are nearby. They have all headed to the conference hall of the neutral noble faction. However, if we use Lines as a shield, they will not be able to move rashly.”

“There are about two days left until one arrives. If they’re determined… the key is whether we can stop their attack until then.”

“I guess so. But if it’s Bellos, it’ll be okay.”

The protective magic circle built into it protects against ranged attacks.

Instead, it is an excessive concern that it cannot prevent the physical entry and exit of living things.

In order to invade Bellos from the sky, a wizard would have to come in directly or send in a flying machine. The former would be suicidal, and the latter is hard to imagine.

“Even if he’s a Vintert, there’s no way he’d mobilize an airplane to track down Fernet…….”

Kuuuuung!

For a moment, the aircraft shook violently.

It wasn't a pilot's mistake. It was clearly a phenomenon caused by an external impact. Kalia, who had handled an aircraft before, could tell exactly what was happening.

This was clearly an anomaly.

“Ferne, you wait here. It’s the safest place in Bellos.”

“Yes, yes, Lady Kalia.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I'm going out.”

Karans drew his dagger.

This is an unusual attitude. Judging from the fact that he speaks informally to nobles without any hesitation, he is definitely not an ordinary person. Kalia nodded, realizing that he was a strong person.

Kalia, Vespa, Karans.

Those who made eye contact with each other headed straight to the deck.

The Knights of the White Knights. And the owls hired by Kalia were moving in unison.

“What's going on?”

“We’re in pursuit.”

The owl pointed backwards.

Kalia turned her head towards him and her eyes widened.

Three small flying boats were hovering high above, approaching Velos.

Among them, she spotted a man standing at the end of the flying machine in front. His eerie white eyes stared straight at her.

“……Anyone can tell that he came from Wintert.”

This is a speed that cannot be achieved by a normal small aircraft.

Did you force the power source to overheat? That would cause a lot of damage. Whatever it was, the difference in the fuselage was so big that it would be impossible to turn sharply to get away.

It's disadvantageous, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Sling.

Kalia pulled out a pure white sword.

“All hands, prepare for battle.”

* * *

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!

Bellos' shield shook violently.

The Knights of Baekjeol responded with all their might, but it wasn't enough.

Not only were they outnumbered to begin with, but their aircraft had taken up position above Bellos, so they lost their positional advantage.

Magic and arrows that fall almost vertically.

Meanwhile, a plane is rapidly approaching.

"Callia clicked her tongue and shouted.

“Prepare for close combat!”

The knights all took up their positions.

Soon after, a number of intruders parachuted from the helicopter and landed on the deck of the Bellos. The ominous man we had seen earlier was standing at the front.

“Calia de Esperanza. Is this your first time seeing the real thing?”

“Who are you?”

“Slay. The sword of the king who rules the underworld.”

I've heard of it.

Slay, the head of the assassination group in Wintert. He is one of the top three most powerful and strong people in the organization.

'I never thought the chief would come in person.'

An eerie voice.

The anticipation overflowed as if it were a living sword. My neck felt cold. My intuition whispered that I should not miss even a single movement.

“What is that handsome sword doing here? Did you come here to ask about Asher’s whereabouts?”

“You have no obligation to answer that.”

Slay nodded.

Then, Robart, who was behind him, released <Thunderbolt>. Fortunately, no knights were directly hit, but the existence of the lightning wizard was a great threat.

From that point on, a battle broke out between the Assassins and the Knights.

“Vespa, somehow deal with the wizard! I’ll take care of the author!”

Kalia rushed forward quickly.

I couldn't reach Hana Slay. A muscular giant blocked my way.

“Where are you going!”

Robart's twin brother, Rocky.

He, who had strengthened his body with the magic of the gift, threw a punch. Kwaang! A shockwave occurred as the gauntlet and sword met. A power that could not be underestimated.

Kalia frowned as she was pushed back.

“Brother! I stopped it!”

“Good job, Rocky. I’ll kill the other knights, so you just take care of Kalia. Don’t kill her, I’ll have to play with her later.”

Kalia and Vespa. Even the White Knights under their command were tied up. There was not enough manpower to restrain Slay, the most dangerous enemy.

Slay, holding a dagger in each hand, tilted his head.

“It’ll end easier than I thought.”

A new blurry model.

He quickly dug into the battlefield and aimed for Vespa's nape from a blind spot. If he killed the Knight Commander, his morale would be completely broken.

Chae-Ang!

But it got blocked.

“Your face looks even uglier up close. You’re a nasty person.”

“……?!”

Karan's kick split the air.

Slay, who had hastily dodged, opened his eyes wide.

“Elf?”

Karans released the face of deception.

He decided that he couldn't face Slay while hiding his power. He promised not to reveal his identity, but he couldn't let someone who was close to his brother die.

'My brother will hate it.'

Karans gathered his magic power.

A forest spirit who agreed with him appeared.

Training came later.

“It’s disgusting. Die quickly, you piece of trash.”

Elves and humans clashed.

A series of blows that were difficult to follow with the eyes crossed. Slay's nerves were focused on one spot due to the sudden appearance of Karans.

The battle on deck was fierce.

Kagak. Kagak.

Slay, whose blades met, revealed a vicious murderous intent.

“I didn’t know that the Marquis of Esperance could raise elves.”

“Don’t talk, human. It makes me feel bad.”

“As rumored, you are full of hatred towards humans.”

Slay kicked the floor.

He moved his body quickly to create distance between them and crossed his daggers. An eerie aura began to flow from the blades.

“I wonder what it would be like to cut off an elf’s head.”

It's not worth answering.

Still, he has no intention of taking it lightly. Karans prepared spirit magic to respond.

Tense tension.

It was the moment when they were about to move.

Hwaaaaaaaah!

“What…….”

A light burst out from above.

Kalia and Wintert both looked up at the sky at the unexpected phenomenon. A pillar of light was forming above Wintert's flying plane that was bombing Belos.

‘This magic is… …!’

It feels clear.

A force that is familiar yet stronger than before.

“You have come, brother.”

“……Brother? Are you talking about the elves?”

“You don’t know, but let me tell you something in particular.”

Karans smiled.

“You guys are dead now.”

* * *

Verden went straight to the area Gedson had expected.

Wearing three halos, he arrived at his destination in just one night and identified the flying craft of Kalia where the battle was taking place.

<Sun Gwang>

As soon as I moved through the space, I became aware of my surroundings.

The deck of an unfamiliar aircraft and the sight of unfamiliar people are visible.

The place where Verden is standing is on top of Wintert's flying boat.

If possible, I wanted to go straight to Bellos, but I had no choice because the space travel could easily cause the flying craft's protective magic circle to collapse.

“…….”

Silence fell.

Ignoring the gathered gazes, Berden climbed onto the bow of the airship and looked at Bellos.

'There are three hostile aircraft in total. Judging from the fact that the Karans are revealing their true form, the ones on the deck are probably the main force of the Wintert.'

The situation was assessed in an instant.

I felt a metallic sound and magical power behind me. As I turned my head slightly back, I saw that each of Bintert's assassins were aiming their weapons at Berden.

Slay's confidant, Keria, snickered.

“Ash hair… You’re Asher. I never thought you’d come back on your own. I’m sure Lord Slay would be happy to be able to catch you like this, together with Kalia.”

It's a similar tone to the assassins I encountered last time.

There is a deeply ingrained, unfounded belief that things will turn out the way they want them to. Verden is adept at destroying such beliefs.

The gaze was directed to the center of the aircraft.

“Is the power source over there?”

Flames gather in the Orient.

A breathtaking magical power. And with it, the temperature of the atmosphere suddenly began to boil.

'It's not lightning, it's flame?'

Whatever it is, it's not normal.

Keria shouted, unable to hide her embarrassment.

“Stop it now!”

Magic and arrows fly.

After that, the assassins rushed in. It was a quick response, but it was too late.

<Great Fire>

widely.

Flames spread across the deck where the staff was in contact.

The airship began to split apart in the heat that spread in an instant. Then, flames bursting out from within instantly burned down the magic stone that served as the power source and the captain's cabin.

The assassin driving the car died instantly.

The plane, whose steering gear had been reduced to ashes, lurched violently.

Damn it.

In the power room, horsepower and heat were intertwined.

The air, which had expanded beyond the reach of the hand, gathered at one point in an instant. Soon, a small spark burst out, generating a huge amount of energy.

Keria let out a voice as she saw the bulging hull.

"……no way."

The ominous feeling was right on target.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The plane exploded in mid-air.

A circular curtain of flames burned everything inside, causing the clouds to recede significantly in the aftermath, even affecting nearby airships.

Naturally, not a single sailor survived.

“…….”

The plane that had been fine until just now was destroyed.

Everyone who witnessed the scene up close was filled with shock. Kalia, Vespa, and Slay were no exception.

“……What is happening right now?”

The answer to that question soon came.

Berden, who had come down without notice, landed on Belos.

Everyone was speechless at the sudden appearance. In silence, the transparent walls stared at Slay.

“You are the one in charge.”

Wow!

The swung Oculus struck Slay.
