Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 392

Episode 392 Camouflage

Magic item, [Match].

It is considered a rare item because it allows simple communication through magic, but has the disadvantage of a short communication range.

'Using this, there are only two main command structures between Raytheon and Shadgar.'

First, short instructions are given remotely by sending specific symbols using [matching].

Second, long instructions are given directly by calling Shedger with [Match].

The symbols used in between were created independently by Rayshen, so even if someone else gets their hands on [Matching], they won't be able to deceive Rayshen.

'But I am an exception.'

Because Rayshen from Bohemian Tower sent numerous signals to Shedgar with [Echoes], whether Verden saw it or not.

Well, that's only natural.

It's funny to see someone who isn't even human and is treated as a prop on the magic tower.

For someone like Verden, playing Shedgar isn't all that grandiose.

First, Verden, who showed <Welcome>, picked up one of Shadgar's belongings.

It was a yellow-colored jewel.

“As you all know, the magic or magic circle contained in the Jewel of Dexar can only be activated at will by the wizard who carved it.”

It is impossible to store other people's magic and use it at will.

This is where the contradiction arises.

So how can Rayshen use Balok's teleportation ability contained in the first generation of Dexar's Jewel?

What makes him possible is the magic pioneered by Rayshen.

“The magical power that is expressed through Rayshen’s magic is a medium. By interfering with the existing frame itself, it creates a gap that allows for the addition of external force. In other words, it becomes possible to add other performances that could not be added originally.”

“Adding the impossible to the impossible… That’s a very unique magic.”

Special magic.

As great as it sounds, and it really is, it's not without its limitations.

especially.

'Just because there is a possibility doesn't mean it will necessarily succeed. Besides, things like the Jewel of Dexar can collapse on their own if not managed continuously.'

The consumption of enormous resources, time, and mental strength is essential.

How much would it cost if Rayshen collected all the materials he had sacrificed so far to achieve his various successes?

It will definitely form a mountain.

It's an astronomical cost that can't be afforded unless you have a Bohemian tower.

The result of Reishen currently in Verden’s hands… … is that Reishen’s own magic circle is engraved on the artificially altered Dexar’s jewel.

A secret method that he passed on only to his immediate escorts.

What's important here isn't the type or level of the magic circle.

'This is the magic power of Rayshen contained within.'

After summoning an upper-level magic stone from the Verden subspace, he took his place in the center of the basement.

Then, he placed the Dexar's jewel on the floor and created three magic circles.

The Divide.

The Combination.

The Stability Magic Circle.

A magic circle exclusively for alchemy that was used both when tracking Gluttony and when tracking the glory of the corpse.

Whoa whoa.

As the Jewel of Dexar disappears, the magic circle within it also disintegrates.

At the same time, the magical power that formed the magic circle began to slowly separate.

When Verden, who was measuring time, placed a high-level magic stone on the second magic circle, Leishen's magic and the magic stone combined without a single inch of error.

The unstable repulsion was suppressed and calmed by the third magic circle.

Crunch.

[Black Hour Compass] Equipped with a new magic stone inside.

As soon as we started moving, the compass spun around a few times and pointed in the direction of Rayshen's safe house.

'That's correct.'

This will be a powerful insurance policy in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Verden handed Cain the compass.

“It’s an artificial artifact that tracks Rayshen’s location. It has a considerable range, so unless he teleports, you won’t lose it. As the person in charge of the Society, keep it with you. Don’t lose it.”

“Oh, yes. I’ll keep that in mind, senpai.”

Cain answered firmly, but inwardly tilted his head.

'How do you know so much about the Bohemian Tower?'

And that is internal information that even the Society is unaware of… … .

It was also difficult to readily accept the existence of artificial artifacts that could pinpoint the location of others using magical power.

In general, these are things that a magic tower or a powerful country would make.

'Could it be that the senior is an official of the Bohemian Tower?'

Cain asked, holding the possibility that naturally came to mind in one corner of his heart.

“It’s not simple at all, but I understand the second reason you caught Shedgar. But I have no idea about the third reason… Is there anything more to be gained from this?”

To be honest, I would say the third one is the key.

Verden lightly released both hands.

“Bring me one of the moles of Finnian that Hares captured.”

Adrian picked up a knocked-out mole from its cage and placed it next to Sedgar.

“Listen carefully, Cain. Currently, some of the Bohemian Tower’s insiders, including Rayshen and her three direct escorts, have something special… well, to put it simply, a tracking magic circle, a Trace, engraved on them. If you kill them recklessly, Bohemian Tower will notice.”

"……yes?"

Cain's eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart.

It was a sudden emotional change that was not normally seen.

“Continent-wide tracking… Is there such a magic circle in the world? No, I know there is something similar in high-level black magic, but that shouldn’t apply to beings with a certain level of magic resistance… How could the Bohemirn Magic Tower of the Elemental School, which focuses on elemental properties…?”

To be exact, it is not the performance of the forced magic circle itself. It is a magic circle of some kind that Baloch created using the call.

It was when he encountered Adrian that Verden noticed this.

If there had been no such safety devices or confirmations, Adrian, who was a test subject, would not have been sent to the Midloth Dominion alone.

anyway.

“There are two main points to remember.”

Verden put his hand on Sedger's forehead.

“Before dealing with them. We transplanted the magic circle that we removed without any damage into Panian’s mole to keep it functioning.”

and.

“I am the only one who can freely manipulate this magic circle.”

The walls are flickering.

The magical thread that had dug deep inside in one breath began to slowly eat away at the seam that connected Colsion and Shedgar.

A task that requires a high level of concentration.

He spurred on his break by recalling the struggle he had waged in the treasure vault of the Bohemian Tower to achieve a reversal.

yet.

Kwajijijijik!

Verden grabbed the magic circle and tore it apart.

* * *

The Verden body and Shadgar's <Welcome> share only one consciousness.

'But the spirit body realized by Ignacia's power is different.'

Although it is possible to focus consciousness directly and treat it as if it were your own body, like [Projection's Crown], it is also possible to control it remotely using the same principle as performing multiple magic operations.

Of course, in the latter case, there is a risk that the main body's Verden may not be able to generate power, but this is not a major problem.

'If necessary, you can temporarily disconnect and reconnect later.'

In other words, 1 person plays 3 roles.

As a result, all plans will revolve around one person.

Strength as an individual.

Ability as a group.

All of these are the capabilities that Verden has built up so far.

* * *

Even though the sun had not yet risen, Gargant's main square was bustling.

It was bustling with people who had all been decided as participants in the labyrinth.

Aside from the dragon's materials, there was also an excited anticipation of what reward the Transcendent One might have prepared, as well as a heavy sense of tension due to the limited strength and inability to carry the equipment they usually used.

A total of 400 people.

Not everyone can come out alive.

The topic Ignacia chose this time is survival and competition.

Ultimately, since it was their own choice, there is no point in blaming the Transcendent One even if they die.

Thud, thud.

Verden───He was possessed by the spirit body given to him by Ignacia, and became an ordinary and unfamiliar third-tier magician. He walked through the crowd and looked around.

It was only when the auction start time arrived that I was able to approach the group I was looking for.

“…….”

The friend I saw up close was leading the wizards selected from the Bohemian Tower branch, with two of his confidants by his side.

She kept her arms crossed and stared straight ahead with a blank, sharp look the whole time.

The labyrinth of ants named by Ignacia… … Among them, the word ‘ant’ is not just an empty word.

Whether they are called geniuses from the outside, have made quite a name for themselves, or are promising prospects for the next generation, they can be killed off like ants, so that's probably why they were given that name.

'Robelyn would be the same.'

Since he was born with a special trait that specializes in the fire series, he should have an advantage over others.

It's no different in that one wrong move can lead to a pointless death.

So Verden stepped in.

The situation that Robelin faced was different from her past, when she had not received help from anyone and was unable to ask for help from anyone.

'I will not stand by and watch.'

Verden remembers Lobelin, who had asked him to go to the magic city with her that day.

Time passed.

Kuung───thump.

Ignacia's followers, who had already formed a large circle around the 400 participants, began pounding the floor with their staff.

A huge magic circle formed in the main square.

Because it was so sudden, more than half of the participants looked flustered, but regardless, the magic circle began to move and began to emit purple light.

'Large-scale space travel? As expected from a force that follows the Transcendent.'

I let my magic sink in like a habit.

Of course, the current Verden is just a third-tier wizard, so even if he puts in all his might, he won't be able to resist a spatial movement of this scale.

Verden raised his head as he felt a huge wave of magical power gradually sweeping over him.

I made eye contact with Robelin, who happened to turn her gaze.

It was a fleeting moment.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaah!

A flashing magic circle.

Soon, a dark flash of light filled the field of vision, swallowing up 400 people at once.

* * *

Rayshen activated [Match].

I had to call Shedgar directly because I needed to give a slightly longer order rather than something piecemeal like usual.

After some time, Shadgar, who had completed his surveillance mission for Robelin, entered the safe house.

Rayshen opened her mouth without even looking at him, just lying there.

“I thought about it carefully with Sarokan and Barkent. Even if you split it with Dark Wotton, the remains of the skeletal dragon that the Luas Church got their hands on this time are quite a lot. And the merchant called Likentia is selling them on their behalf.”

“…….”

“Is it true that Licentia only has one dragon material? I don’t think so. Even if it is true, there is a high possibility that the Luas Church will entrust it with the sale later.”

Rayshen twisted the corner of his mouth.

“So, gather as much information about Licentia as possible. After the Scales of Ignacia are over, try contacting her.”

Either kill and take it, or negotiate and get it.

It may end up being hostile to the Luas Church, but it's a good thing.

Because Rayshen was confident that his identity would not be revealed.

“Yes, Rayshen. Sir.”

Shadgar answered awkwardly and immediately left the safe house.

Without any sense of discomfort.

Shedgar───Berden, who had clearly distanced himself from the Rayshen group, laughed softly.

'You're trying to get into my arms on your own two feet.'

Yeah, if you want to know about Licentia, I'll tell you.

If you wish, I can arrange for you to meet the upper echelon of Licentia outside of Gargant.

That was also what Verden had hoped for.

“Senior, ‘reinforcements’ from Society just arrived. As you instructed, they are waiting outside Gargant.”

Now everything is set.

Rayshen Tail Road.

From now on, everything I tell you will be blind truth.

The closed nature of the Bohemian Tower that has kept its ugly secrets will be your cause of death.

I can say this with certainty.

The moment you leave Gargant, you will surely die.

* * *

“Then I’ll go see my family. Haha, I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell my wife and children how great the performance was. You look very tired, so in the meantime, get some rest.”

Early in the morning, the coachman waves his hand and leaves.

Isabella, who had been watching the scene for a while, returned to the building where she was staying.

He took out [Palaanhard's Master] and [Screamer], which he had barely managed to obtain by spending most of his wealth without telling the groom, and placed them on the table.

“…….”

Isabella sat on the bed, hugging her knees, and stared at the two artifacts.

She held in her hand the necklace given to graduates of the academy.

Countless regrets pour down.

If I hadn't entered the academy.

If the Academy hadn't helped 'that guy'.

If you hadn't become friends with 'that guy'.

If only I hadn't invited 'that guy' to my family's mansion as a friend.

If I hadn't told 'that guy' the family secret… … .

This tragedy would not have happened.

Woojijik.

The Academy's necklace is shattered by a force that cannot be produced by such a slender body.

As the shrapnel in his hand fell, blood and flesh welled up in the deep and shallow wounds, regenerating. The poison in the fallen blood melted the bed.

'There is about a day and a half left.'

Isabella Deiros, the current head of the Deiros family.

Here is a woman, no, a monster, who wishes for death.
