Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 323

Episode 323 War Lord (3)

The Arnak Empire has a special way of suppressing the conflicting reactions of ki and magic power.

Of course, this is not something that applies to everyone, and only those who pass strict criteria can attempt it and eventually raise their level.

But even such a war mage has its limits.

Although it was possible to use physical enhancement and magic at the same time, it was impossible to combine or harmonize the two powers.

If you do that, the repulsive force you have suppressed will explode, and there is a very high chance that you will be seriously injured or die instantly.

That's why Regrit is special.

Because with the magic he had developed, he could completely fuse different powers. And without any side effects.

War lord.

One of the pinnacles of the empire.

The golden-hued Regret advances.

Even on the dense, solid land of the island, footprints were left behind, unable to overcome the force of gravity.

At the same time, he stretched his hand forward and cast his magic for the first time.

<Lightning>

Bright yellow lightning.

A unique lightning bolt with powerful physical power that destroys anything it touches.

As we were closing the distance in the blink of an eye, a huge lightning bolt struck from above, forming a wall.

Pfft pfft pfft!

The two magics cancel each other out.

The smell of burning moss on the rocks tickled my nose.

'He used magic that wasn't in the hierarchy. And he didn't do any special calculations either… … Is that Asher's magic?'

It seems that it is not limited to one attribute.

At first glance, it was clear that it had tremendous versatility, significantly different from other magicians.

It feels like a natural disaster.

The hypothesis I had in mind began to get closer and closer to the correct answer.

It is said that the Dark King, Oldark Ruin Arcanad, was once called the Magician of Heaven before he founded the Dark Nation and ascended to the throne.

Still, nothing changes.

The successor to the Demon King.

Thinking of my opponent that way actually made me feel ecstatic.

It is a being truly surrounded by the unknown.

<Current acceleration>

Phagectic.

Using magic, he synthesized the properties of lightning with his body.

She leaped as a halo of light and rushed forward like a bolt of lightning. Verden, who had been following her movements with his eyes, struck the ground with his orient.

The rising walls of the earth resonated.

Regret, who had forcibly collapsed the crack that had been torn apart, moved nimbly.

It is irregular and unpredictable, even mixing in <flight> along the way.

And that's not all.

The staff she was holding transformed and took the form of a hammer.

“Haaaaaap!”

Art, Jincheon.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The ground suddenly sank, and the surrounding land rose irregularly. Verden, who managed to avoid it by just brushing it away, narrowed his eyebrows.

“Do all War Mages know how to use arts?”

“Only a few can do it. And none can handle it as freely as I do.”

The hammer flashes.

Before he knew it, Regret was holding a pair of golden swords in his hands.

“I see that the calculation process of magic has been omitted. It would certainly be difficult to deal with such an opponent using only magic. However, apart from that, it will be difficult to deal with it from now on.”

Phew.

With a clap of thunder, Regrit disappeared.

It was almost as fast as Adrian. Instead of following the afterimage of lightning, he moved his position by manipulating the ground.

A blade of lightning cuts through the air.

She tilted her body extremely, using her center of gravity as if she didn't care if she missed.

The sound of thunder brushing my ears.

Countless slashes pouring down from the charge.

'It was beyond my senses.'

Verden's actions were immediate.

He gathered all his magical power and swept all directions with a bitter cold storm.

Regret's breath, exposed to the frost, froze cold, but did not stop.

The twin swords are transformed.

He held a huge sword the size of a person in both hands and swung it down.

Flash of flowers.

Golden Sword.

The ice storm split in half and aimed at Verden. Judging that it was too late to dodge, he used Orient as a shield.

Kkudddddddddd!

“……!”

It's a rough force.

The pushed leg of Verden left a long scar on the island's floor. The nerves were stimulated by the lightning bolts that were conducted through the metal.

A skill embodied in magic and energy.

It's definitely colorful and powerful.

Despite his countless experiences so far, Verden was surprised by the technology he had never seen before and searched for a way to destroy it.

'… … found it.'

<The Crack of Youth>

A wave of electricity spreading out in all directions.

Blue lightning and golden lightning, of the same type but different nature, collided. As expected, the pressure of the weakened sword energy.

He twisted the staff and tossed it aside.

Orient held high.

Lightning generated from the orb embedded in the tip seeped into the dark clouds.

Rumble… … .

A low-pitched vibration.

Berden, who had full control of the countless branches of lightning in his hands, took a deep breath and released them all downwards.

A flash of blue light.

───Kwakwang! Kwakwakwakwang! Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Countless small lightning strikes struck the area.

A burst of light so bright that it was difficult to open one's eyes and look. Verden, who had turned part of the island into a mess, watched the situation.

'I had a feeling.'

Regrett was not able to completely avoid it.

So where is he hiding? How would Verden act if he were in the same situation?

maybe.

'I'll aim from behind.'

Phage crackle!

This time, Legritt, holding a single spear, appeared.

The target is clearly the left shoulder.

Berden, who had already anticipated the movement, concentrated his magical power in his hand.

<Arcane: Magic Fusion>

Magic power so concentrated that it's eerie.

He took a position where he couldn't avoid it, stretched out his arm, and exploded his magical power. The torrent that cut through the diagonal line reached Regret's immediate vicinity.

'It's over… … .'

That was when.

Suddenly, Regret's body disintegrated into light.

And then, hundreds of small golden lightning bolts scattered in all directions, gathered again and she regained her original form.

“I guess I’ll finally get to hit you now.”

Elemental fusion.

One of Regret's secret weapons.

“……!”

She took up position behind Verden and swung her dagger.

Pah, pah, pah, pah!

A sharp, concentrated bolt of lightning struck Verden.

* * *

It was a good meal.

Legritt exhaled as he achieved his goal and stepped back a distance.

“Phew…….”

Blood flows quickly.

The heat inside the armor rose up.

It had been a long time since we had fought such a fierce battle, and even resorted to desperate measures.

It wasn't very common to have the opportunity to fight a strongman of her level. Which meant that Asher was at least at that level.

The Ark candidate engages in a duel with the young magician.

If someone saw it, they would cry out that it was a loss of face as a captain and a damage to the prestige of a war lord, but he didn't care at all.

Legritt acknowledged him.

I couldn't help it. Not only did I show off not one but several <Arcane> techniques, I even pioneered such magic.

'I can't imagine what the future holds.'

It wasn't jealousy.

Rather, my interest deepened even further.

Because the future he would unfold was also unknown.

Regrit is an explorer.

Exploring the unknown was her joy and her duty. She looked ahead, suppressing the laughter that was spilling out of her throat.

The dust cloud settled.

On the ground that had turned black from the heat, Verden stood. He was perfectly fine.

As expected.

“That platinum robe. It’s made of dragon material. Could it be… the robe of the Dark Lord himself, obtained from his tomb? An ancient artifact?”

“…….”

Verden did not answer.

No, he didn't even glance at Regret. He just looked at his hands and tilted his head repeatedly.

I don't think it was intentional ignorance.

'Yes, the exchange isn't over yet.'

They don't kill each other.

Instead, if one of the two declares surrender or becomes incapacitated, it's over. That was one of the rules of the exchange battles between the Ark candidates.

So let's start with the ending.

'It'll be difficult to break through that robe's resistance… I guess I'll have to aim for the head.'

A long war is unfavorable.

Even if it was her, her magical power was incomparable to that of her opponent. So, I had no choice but to find an opening once again.

Legritt, who had made a decision, rushed in.

He changed the form of his staff once again, this time creating a spear with a wide blade, so that he could respond to any magic that came his way.

"……huh?"

But the opponent didn't even move.

Verden was still looking at his hands.

At that point, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Regret, with veins popping out on his forehead, shouted and swung his lightning-filled spear.

“Don’t be distracted by anything else!”

The tip of the spear pointing to the forehead.

A robe made of dragon material may not be pierced, but even if it were resistant, it would still take considerable impact.

It was at that time.

“……Okay, I guess this will work.”

Verden muttered.

Immediately afterwards, his body transformed into a blue lightning bolt.

Regret's spear cut through the air. There was no feeling of touching anything. Not only that, but there was a movement behind him.

Elemental fusion.

Legritt opened his eyes wide and was shocked.

“Could this be my…….”

That's not all.

Phew.

Magic power gathers at the tip of the Orient.

Unlike before, the magical power beyond concentration created a blue spear.

Magic control beyond magic manipulation.

The techniques used by the Imperial War Mage have been instilled in Verden.

"how……!"

A voice steeped in embarrassment.

Saaaaah!

Orient tears the atmosphere apart.

The shock that burst out at the end hit her shoulder.

* * *

Verden's magical power manipulation had previously reached its limit.

In order to achieve the reversal, in order to destroy the magic circle of the Magic Tower Lord in the Magic Tower's treasure vault, I have trained my magic thread every single day for years without fail.

'But then there was a next thing.'

Verden didn't even think about it.

Although the knowledge that could be gained from within the Magic Tower was extensive, other experiences and knowledge were insignificant, so his thinking was limited.

That was so amazing.

The technique demonstrated by Regrit.

Controlling the flow of magical power to disintegrate or distort the opponent's magic, hardening it by fixing its form like those awakened by energy, etc.

I have come to realize that the magic I have understood so far has possibilities beyond that.

'And also Regret's magic.'

A highly advanced derivative magic that unites the elements and the physical body.

It was beyond my expectations.

I left an opening without a plan and was hit directly by the magic.

If it weren't for the Demon King's Robe [Einver], I would have suffered damage comparable to serious injury. Even now, my whole body is numb.

But that's why I could understand.

Regret's magical circuit felt at close range.

When using magic control, he sensed the flow and the flow immediately after fusing with the elements, and instinctively calculated backwards to find its roots.

Verden's magic sword <Infinity> is a collection of possibilities.

The intention was to implement one's will into magic. In other words, it meant that it was possible to reproduce even other people's magic.

'Of course, it is impossible to completely imitate magic.'

Magic is the life that a magician has achieved and the path that he has pioneered.

It is absolutely impossible unless you experience the entirety of that long life.

However, magic derived from magic is possible.

Just like how I was able to understand and use the Dark Lord's magic power operation method <Arcane> from the administrator.

Verden's understanding of magic.

Even the transcendent have coveted that talent.

“Hahahaha……! No way……”

Laughter was heard from ahead.

When I turned my gaze, Legritt was shaking his shoulders.

“I never thought you would reproduce my elemental fusion……! And even control the magic power of the War Mage…… Asher, what on earth is your magic? Are you copying someone else’s magic? What’s the principle?”

Ask the magician repeatedly.

Normally I wouldn't answer, but this time it was different.

Exchange war.

Thanks to you, I learned something.

“It is a possibility.”

"possibility……?"

It's an unclear image.

So paradoxically, it made sense.

Since it was the first time I had encountered this form of magic, I knew it would be vast just by hearing about it… … If not, I wouldn’t have been able to show such an incomprehensible appearance.

“Possibility… Yeah, I see.”

Regret exhaled and calmed his mind.

“If things continue like this, my chances of winning will be slim. No, they’ll probably be certain. Not only did you gain magical power control, but you even took my secret weapon… Haha, thinking about it again, it’s still ridiculous. This is the first time in my life that I’ve been in a situation like this.”

Regret, who had been mocking himself, raised his head.

“It was really fun, Asher. You won the exchange battle. Well, if possible, I would like to use all my strength and fight to the max… but I think we’re running out of time.”

hour?

The moment I felt the doubt, a wave of magic appeared in the center of the island.

Purple waves.

The space opened up and two people appeared.

“Get there, Legritt.”

Elder of the Ark.

They came.
