Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 260

Episode 260 Leonil (2)

Leonil's magic sword <Rapid Fire>.

There are three characteristics in the path he pioneered.

First, it releases the magical power of the heart as if it were exploding, allowing the immediate use of fire magic.

In return, there is a rapid drain on magical power and physical recoil, but the benefits to being a magician are clear.

And secondly, a secondary explosion occurs from the embers left by the fire explosion.

It is an enhancement of the power of fire magic that theoretically makes it possible to kill dozens of people with a single fireball.

Thirdly and finally, Leonil is completely immune to his own flames.

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!

The center of Esnoren was shaken.

Many of the structures that make up the royal palace are collapsing, engulfed in flames, and reduced to ashes. The once-organized streets are in disarray and in ruins.

It was a fierce battle.

But it was also one-sided.

“Hahahahaha! Where are you running away to?”

Leonil carried out indiscriminate destruction.

He didn't even use flight, but instead took his place in the center and swung his magic. He focused all his magical abilities on fire magic.

Originally, Leonil was a flame mage who specialized in 'close range'.

But for him who had obtained the power of the Transcendent, distance no longer had any meaning.

“Where did the bravery I just saw go, Marquis Esperensa! Struggle a little longer, more!”

Leonie's nickname is Mad Fire, Mad Flame.

True to his name, his appearance now was full of madness.

Edmon was desperate to avoid it.

My eardrums were ruptured by the continuous explosions, and blood flowed from my ears. If I were to get caught in that flame, I would die instantly.

The Transcendent's magic was not something I could handle.

'But something must be done.'

Kwaaaaang!

The heat is overwhelming from the side.

Edmon, who endured the pain, twisted his magic.

“Haaaaaap!”

The swirling storm currents extinguished the fierce heat.

A power that could weaken the flames of the Transcendent was certainly not common.

Seizing the opportunity, Melzard and the Marquis rushed at Leonil from opposite directions.

“Yes, Edmon. The harsh wind kills even the flame.”

Leonie lifted his chin.

“But the wind that does not blow will only fan the flames even further.”

The dying flame flared up fiercely.

The flames that shot up into the sky dispersed and fell like heavy rain.

“This───”

Anything that came into contact with the red rain turned to ash.

In an instant, the place where Edmon had been turned into hell.

But there was no time to worry about him.

The Marquis and Melzard put all their effort into concentrating their energy into their swords and bodies. There were never many opportunities.

“You didn’t even blink an eye when Edmon was burned to death. How heartless.”

Leonie was surrounded by blazing flames.

<Fiendria>

The flames exploded, sending dozens of tiny fireballs into the air.

A chain of explosions, hundreds of them, with added magic, devastated the surrounding area, and naturally, the Marquis and Melzard could not escape.

There is black smoke.

I couldn't see them, but I knew they hadn't fallen to this extent.

Perhaps because he had used the witch's heart, he was still unable to handle the Transcendent's level normally, but the sense of the Transcendent in his body was telling him.

'So, let's just erase the whole area.'

The moment I made up my mind, my attention was forcibly drawn to the right.

“I am not dead yet, Leonil.”

The art of Melzard.

The serious voice heard through the smoke contains a power that is difficult to resist.

Leonie tried not to resist and just surrendered her magic to the flow of consciousness.

Quadra casting.

<Creber>

Dozens of sparks pierced the smoke.

Beyond that, the embers that had formed as the bullets landed right on Melzard exploded all at once.

The armor, unable to withstand the impact, was destroyed without a moment to be touched, and Melzard fell down, his body covered in wounds in an instant.

Complete disabling.

'Now the last one.'

Leonie turned her head.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Esperance flew in from the air.

I sent a <Small Flame Ball> flying in an easy-to-read motion, but suddenly the space distorted and the magic was deflected to the side.

From a distance, Silis is outstretching his hand, breathing heavily.

“I treated you like a witch, but you keep getting in my way.”

Meanwhile, the Marquis, who had landed on the ground, flashed his sword blade.

The pinnacle of skill, the season.

Absolutely white.

It became a pure white stream by itself.

A skill passed down through the Esperenza family that temporarily grants weapons extreme sharpness and enhances all resistances.

Unlike Grond, it was not accomplished by the Marquis himself, but it was also a season.

Leonil triggered the magic of the heart.

<The Flames of Ardor>

Flame, flesh itself.

A heat that could easily burn a human body and armor swept over them. Even in the season, it wouldn't last long in the face of 7th-tier magic.

If you delay, your spirit will melt away.

At that moment, the Marquis' eyes caught it.

Leonil unconsciously pulls back his staff.

At that moment, the sword strike with a twisted trajectory aimed for the witch's heart. Her skin sizzled in the flames, and her muscles snapped from the forced twist, but she endured.

Because I know that is Leonie's weakness.

“?!”

Leonie, with his eyes wide open, extended his left hand, hiding his staff.

Kkwadduk!

The blade cut through the flames and palm, reaching the wrist bone.

If I applied a little more force, I felt like I could cut off one of the arms.

But that didn't happen.

His will was still strong, but he could not withstand the black flames he held in his hands.

The broken blade melts. A sword made from an alloy of the highest metals.

Leonie's expression was distorted in pain.

“How dare you.”

Leonie swung the blade with an outstretched hand.

The blade of flame passed through the Marquis' armor and body. The Marquis was thrown far away and rolled on the ground, screaming.

His organs were badly damaged, and his melted armor bit into his skin.

As Leonil was about to finish, space distorted again.

Silis. The Marquis and Melzard were by her side as she manipulated the mental realm. Looking closely, her mental body was slowly recovering.

“Further resistance is meaningless───”

The words were cut off by a sudden gust of wind.

The air currents merged into a huge storm that trapped Leonie.

“Your Majesty! Please run away with the two of you……!”

Kwaaaaang!

An unstoppable force broke the storm.

Even though Edmon used all his power, he couldn't even buy a moment of time.

Before he knew it, Leonil had approached and burned Edmon's leg. An indescribable heat struck his nerves.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

“If you saved your life thanks to the princess, you should just hide. Even if you’re a spirit, you’re being too harsh. Do you think the witch can completely recover from the damage you did if you die? If I wanted to, I would have already set you on fire.”

Crunch.

Leonil stomped on Edmon's head.

“Edmon, you are truly pathetic. With such skill, you are in this state, in this state. If you had joined the court magicians, you would have lived a life incomparably more brilliant than this.”

“Huh, do you think I’d join a group of crazy people who do human experiments? Get out……! I’m not like you guys, who are worse than beasts.”

“That’s why you’re at my feet. While I’m going beyond my limits and achieving transcendence, you’re sitting there, holding onto morals and goodness that don’t work. You’re not a magician. You’re just a fool who can use magic.”

Edmon grumbled and twisted the corners of his mouth.

“The one who was struck by Your Majesty’s sword is a Transcendent? The Dark Warton Tower Lord will be very impressed when he sees this.”

Leonie bared her teeth and stamped her feet hard.

Edmon's voice, filled with pain, was heard, but it was not spiritual.

The pain in my left hand was so sharp it was jarring.

'Marquis Esperance. I never thought you would throw yourself into aiming for the witch's heart.'

It was a moment of carelessness that cut my hand.

However, Leonil did not lose his appearance as a transcendent being. After all, it was he who achieved an overwhelming victory.

Then, someone approached me.

Judging by the magic power felt, it was Rachel who was second.

“Tsk, I’m late to deal with just one young wizard…….”

“Coolook, coolook! Coolook!”

Rachel landed on the floor and vomited blood.

He desperately squeezed out his voice with a face that looked like death.

“Your Majesty, that guy is… a monster….”

dump.

Rachel fell forward.

The light was fading from his eyes. A large amount of blood flowed out of his hollow chest.

A pool of blood spread down his body.

'He died?'

Rachel's energy faded.

Death. There was no doubt about it, for it had clearly materialized.

Leonie, who had been furrowing his brows, raised his head. There, standing before him, was the man he had thought was a scoundrel.

"you……."

Leonie stopped talking.

Behind the man, a spectacle of the high court magicians being annihilated was seen.

* * *

The court wizards are not just a group of high-ranking wizards.

They are experts in their respective fields, and as they protect the royal family, their individual fighting skills are outstanding, and in addition, they are also skilled in group battles.

They are on a different level from magicians who are simply high in rank and excellent in theory.

"……how."

That's why Leonie was so embarrassed.

Even in the court magicians' order, all the high ranking members were slaughtered, and all by a young magician.

Even though there was no first-class Heinel, it was still hard to believe.

“Hey, Asher? Why are you here?!”

Verden looked around, leaving Edmon's voice behind.

The Marquis and Melzard on the verge of death, Silis who is protecting them, and Edmon who is being trampled by Leonil.

After grasping the situation, he turned to Silis.

“Silis, can you stop Leonil from manipulating this mental realm?”

"ah……."

Silis was momentarily stunned.

I didn't think he'd get hurt, but I didn't think it would come this quickly.

She soon came to her senses and nodded.

“Yes, if you use up all your remaining magic power, it is possible to fix the world.”

“Then do it now. Before he runs away.”

"what?"

Leonie blinked.

Leonie chewed over what he had just heard. Soon, he realized the meaning and became enraged, his expression distorting like that of a demon.

“Who would run away?! This little rascal!”

“Asher! Get back down now!”

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!

As Leonil swung his staff, a series of explosions struck Verden, completely blowing away even the small escape route.

There's no chance of you being unharmed in that sea of fire.

Edmon, who had given the warning, sighed and opened his mouth.

That was when.

A blue light flashed in the red heat.

Leonil, who flinched his shoulders, immediately blocked it with his left hand covered in flames.

Pfft pfft pfft!

He was struck by a powerful lightning bolt and was pushed back.

I was able to block it without causing much damage, but the corners of my mouth that had been smiling hardened.

The dark marks left on his hands, the tingling sensation piercing his skin, and the blood flowing from the wounds the Marquis had carved made his head spin.

A shadow was cast in the flames.

Verden. He walked forward calmly, without a single scratch.

“You are the true transcendent one?”

Verden stood in his place.

The magic that had been dormant inside me stirred.

“That’s funny.”

Obvious ridicule.

The moment he saw that, Leonie felt as if something had snapped in his head.

Even when I was cut by the Marquis' sword, I reached a new level and forgotten emotions surged up.

It was humiliating.

"this……."

Kkuaddukduk.

Leonil, who was holding the staff, was so furious that his skin twisted.

“I will even burn your ashes.”

Instead of answering, Verden glowed with magic.

I didn't want to waste any more time on someone who wasn't worth talking to or had no reason to talk to.

All the more so because he was planning to kill Leonil in front of him, eradicate the royal family's human experiments, and leave the Kingdom of Estyria.

Immediately afterwards, flames and lightning collided.

The explosion that occurred in the meantime announced the start of a magic war.
