Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 398

Episode 398: Incomprehensible (3)

Kwakwakwa───!

A vortex of gravity shatters and scorches everything within its range.

Turbulent, like a stormy sea.

Sarokan attempted to manipulate this to disperse the dark purple storm, but it was too strong and did not work as he wished.

The firepower is pushed back.

“How can something that is not even ripe reach such a level……!!”

A seriously distorted landscape appeared in Sarokhan's field of vision as he stood on the ground.

A reckless magical bombardment that ignores consumption.

It was a situation where Sarokan was bound to be at a disadvantage, but if it was a long-term battle, it was no different from seizing the opportunity to win.

Because a wizard without magic power or who is tired is reduced to mere prey.

But things went the opposite way.

The difference in talent.

“Ahahaha! They said it was the second-highest ranking weapon in the military hierarchy, but it’s nothing special!”

Yunia plummets.

Sarokan raised some of the earth, added wind, and shot it, but it was unstoppable. Everything was either destroyed or avoided by a margin of a sheet of paper.

Having succeeded in closing the distance, Yunia swung her staff and Ultima menacingly and continued to cut through the air.

A powerful weapon technique with magical power control.

In addition, with quick calculations, he was able to cast magic at close range.

For Sarokhan, who is not confident in close combat, this is a situation where he has no choice but to retreat.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Kwakwakwakwa!

A trail of destruction follows the path the two people took.

The members of the Society who had been watching the movement took up their positions in unison, and at that moment, they were trying to block Sarokhan's retreat and seize the opportunity to win.

“Don’t interfere!”

Yunia shouted nervously and stopped him.

It is the first magic battle in the world, a full-fledged stage, and the opponent is strong.

Unable to give up on this moment easily, Yunia could not hide her excitement and, displaying her belligerence, spurred on the offensive.

A chase that is all about advancing and retreating.

The balance was broken as both sides agreed that this could not continue.

<Pruna>

<Reskind>

A giant beam of frost and a blade of the earth clashed right before my nose.

The rocks were frozen and shattered, and the slanted ice lines twisted their trajectories. The two people who had avoided the aftershocks distanced themselves.

“Ugh…….”

Sarokhan, whose one arm was frozen, inevitably brushed against <Pruna>.

On his other side, Yunia only had her skin slightly scratched by the flying debris.

Magic power is seething.

In the end, it was a magical battle where one of the two had to fall. Without thinking, the two people revealed their full power and opened up their magic.

Kukukukukuku… … !!

Part of the land rises around Sarokhan.

It formed dozens of giant wedges, each with its own attributes and imbued with the atmosphere.

Phew.

Behind the back of the silver-haired, purple-tinged Yunia, a single magical satellite rose.

Like when I sparred with Verden in the previous Society, I had to concentrate to handle multiple satellites, but it's possible to create just one like this right away.

Of course, the price was the same, so the disadvantage of not being able to use magic for a while remained.

There is a feeling of extreme pressure.

Soon, the two people who had each finished their calculations aimed their weapons at the same time to release magic.

That was when.

New moon. New moon.

A purple crescent moon appeared out of nowhere, cutting horizontally through the sky.

"what……?!"

Choaaaak───!

Sarokhan, who was absent-minded, was unable to respond properly, and the back of both knees were cut off at once, causing him to collapse on the ground.

The magic I had worked so hard to create collapsed and I fell.

Adrian approached at an invisible speed and performed his skills, leaving an afterimage.

wild dance

The sharp sword energy cuts not only through the robe, but also through the flesh beyond it.

He severed the spine at the waist along with major tendons including the shoulder. Immediately afterwards, he knocked Sarokan unconscious by striking the back of the neck with a kick.

It was a disappointing result for a lower-ranking magician of the 6th tier, but it was also a natural result.

Not only did he give up his distance to someone as skilled as Adrian, he also got caught.

Adrian successfully neutralized Sarokhan and took possession of the demon sword, Cedence.

Junia, whose battle was interrupted, came down straight away and glared.

“Hey! What are you doing───”

“Shut up. How can we proceed with the plan entrusted to us by our lord like this? Do you think we are joking?”

The veins on Adrian's forehead stood out.

“If you fail, you may face an irreversible situation where you have to face the Transcendent. But you give up your numerical advantage and fight one-on-one? Are you in your right mind?”

"that……!"

Yunia was speechless.

That was the correct answer. I couldn't think of any excuses.

Adrian advised her as he passed her by.

“If you do something so shameful again, I will cut you down first. If you are not going to betray your lord, then gather at the sixth spider den with the subdued targets.”

The sound of footsteps fades away.

Yunia stood there dumbly.

I heard that he was my ally… … but it was the first time in my life that I received such sharp criticism from a complete stranger.

“See…….”

I was embarrassed.

Hares approached.

“Miss Yunia, we will take care of Sarokhan.”

“……No, I’ll take you.”

Yunia, who had become depressed, carried Sarokhan, who had been bound by a magic circle, on her shoulder.

I had been strengthening my body and training consistently, so I didn't feel burdened.

From Shedgar, to Varkent, to Sarokhan.

With this, all of Rayshen's direct escorts were captured.

* * *

Elemental magicians are usually specialized in combat, as they use magic that focuses on firepower.

This is especially true for those who handle lightning-type powers, which are of the higher elemental nature and have lethal powers against living beings.

But strictly speaking, Rayshen was a man who was far from the true meaning of elemental magic, regardless of his rank or actual strength.

Although it is said that the hierarchical magic can be changed irregularly through the magic <implementation>, it is true that it is more suitable for magical research.

Above all, Rayshen has a strong tendency to avoid battlefields where all kinds of dangerous variables are rampant.

The magician's enlightenment and the direction he should walk were embodied as a realm, which was called the magic way.

So let me say it again.

'This… can't be beat.'

A one-sided war of attrition.

It's unfair in many ways.

It was the same with the fact that he was handling all sorts of elemental magic and high-level enchantment magic, including the upper and uppermost ones, as well as the eyes that floated up like an unknown magic circle, and the bottomless amount of magical power.

Even the differences in weapons were extreme.

Because the magic that Rayshen boasted about was unable to properly damage Verden.

Even if it brushed against me, it didn't even leave a scratch.

I don't know what the identity of that platinum robe is, but its resistance is out of the ordinary.

At least, it was clear that the performance of the artifact [Flawless Robe] worn by Rayshen was far superior.

A conclusion that completely excludes emotional subjectivity such as pride, face, and humiliation.

There is no chance of winning.

This kind of objective judgment and the flexibility to accept it were possible because Rayshen had a great desire to live.

But separately, I couldn't ignore a situation that I couldn't understand.

“Ugh, gasp…….”

Jiik─── Jiik───

A bloody Rayshen slowly extended his arms and stepped forward.

A red carpet was created following the traces of the crawl. I barely managed to separate my lips that were stuck together and wouldn't come off.

“Fuck…… Ber, den……!”

A faint sound of air leaked out from between the broken teeth.

“A mere test subject… After only a few years… Is that possible…?”

Let's ignore the fact that it is a non-existent theory and assume that it has crossed the hierarchy of limitations.

However, the fact that the 1st rank reached the 6th rank in less than 3 years was not something that could be easily overlooked.

Even the legendary figure, the first Demon King who achieved the 9th rank, has no record of achieving such rapid growth.

“Knock knock! What on earth have you been doing all this time…! Did you receive a miracle by meeting Luas or something…?”

“If God had wanted to help me, he would have done so long ago.”

There was a time when Verden desperately prayed to Luas for salvation.

Naturally, the God of Light didn't even send a hand.

“This is solely my power.”

“Oh, really? If I had known this would happen, I should have taken care of it in advance…….”

Rayshen spoke feebly, as if he was lamenting, but on the other hand, his eyes were rolling around.

'Begging for my life has failed. Verden intends to kill me no matter what.'

Whether it was magic or words, there was no answer when confronted head-on, but that didn't mean there was no escape route.

Verden's carelessness and last resort.

If you use him actively, you can create an opportunity to escape.

It was the moment when I became certain of this.

“It’s so frustrating to see you forgetting what I said earlier.”

Verden said.

“I won’t interfere, so give it everything you’ve got. Before I kill you right now.”

Rayshen clenched his fist.

“Okay, then just stay still… you cheeky little lab rat───!”

He raised his upper body with a flash of light in his eyes and retrieved his weapon using <telekinesis>.

“United, let’s fly!”

[Extension of Bahlkan] was activated by the starting word, and the staff, split into dozens of pieces, wrapped around Rayshen's head.

Auxiliary magic operations.

At the same time, the flow of magical power accelerated several times over and magical power was released.

The blood vessels, unable to withstand the enormous load, burst and sticky blood flowed out from inside the nose.

Rayshen waved his left hand dazzlingly, and with his right hand, he threw the magic stones that would become materials from his space bag one after another, creating several magic circles almost simultaneously.

<Flower>

<Block>

<Imprison>

The highest level sealing magic circle created by the magician, Baloch Besias.

In addition, using the magical power of the magic <enforcement> as a medium, the three magic circles above were combined into one.

“Eww!”

<Nervas>

In an instant, a huge magic circle tightly surrounded the area surrounding Verden.

* * *

A complete seal that limits the opponent's range of action for about 30 minutes. Its power is enough to deal damage even to a 6th-tier high-level magician.

Rayshen raised one corner of his mouth.

“You’re so arrogant because you’ve reached a higher level. That’s why you’re a test subject. Do you understand?”

Anyway, I bought some time.

If you stay here, it might be black hour, and you'll be chased by some unknown guy.

The urgent task is to somehow escape from here and shake off the pursuit.

Rayshen immediately attempted to escape.

My whole body hurts as if it's being torn apart.

I would like to recover my body with a fake elixir, but I couldn't take it rashly because the side effects would increase exponentially if I took it consecutively in one day.

Instead of flying towards the ceiling where he could easily be surrounded, he flew desperately towards the intricate crevice where Isabella was.

But───

Thud!

Rayshen bounced off and rolled on the floor.

My neck hurt because I hit my face straight on, but I didn't have time to care.

He opened his eyes wide and gaped blankly.

An invisible curtain that covers the entire community along the border.

The waves generated at the point where Rayshen collided were gradually absorbed.

It doesn't matter when it was made.

The feature just before that… …was so unbelievably familiar.

no way.

“……<Asylum>?”

<Asylum> is one of Baloch's unique magic circles and the highest level composite magic circle that requires several top-grade magic stones as materials.

Also known as the inviolable demonic territory.

A powerful protective shield that completely blocks the inside and outside.

“What… why, why? Why on earth is this here…?”

“Why are you so surprised? It’s one of the things you forced into my head as a memory enhancer.”

Verden looked at Rayshen and tapped his forehead.

There's a lot prepared.

Rayshen recalled the meaning of what Verden had said at first.

'then.'

Leishen, who made an immediate judgment, immediately took off the necklace and took out the yellow-tinged jewel stored inside.

The first generation of Dexar's Jewel with the space teleportation engraved on it. It takes exactly 4 minutes to activate it and reset the coordinates!

It was a sure way to escape, provided no one was interrupted along the way.

At that time, Verden laid his hand on <Nervas>.

At the same time, the magic circle began to shake and create circular ripples.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that his magic circle-breaking technique had reached its peak several years ago, but thanks to the application of <Arcane> taught by the manager during that time, his level has now risen to an even higher level.

“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”

Crackle, crackle.

In just a few seconds, the very foundation of <Nervas> begins to shake. The seal is soon broken as Rayshen focuses on the crude joint where the magic circle was connected, destroying the lumbar spine.

<Elemental Fusion>

“───Ugh!”

Verden, struck by lightning.

After breaking Orient's knee, he stamped on Rayshen's head and snatched the Dexar's Jewel that had fallen from his hand.

The light reflected inside the wall.

“As expected, you are so flashy, risking your life.”

Woozijijik!

The jewel was crushed by the harsh force. The space shuttle was also shattered and disappeared along with it.

Verden laughed softly.

“The last resort that I had put my utmost effort into implementing ended in vain, and even the means of escaping from my grasp disappeared…….”

He put his weight on the foot that was pressing down on the back of his head.

“Rayxian, how are you feeling now?”

“Ugh, ugh……!”

Rayshen trembled and groaned.

Verden, who had been enjoying that sight, turned his gaze to Isabella. She seemed to sense something and was looking upwards.

It only implied one thing.

“You came at just the right time.”

Verden released waves of magical power to dispel <Asylum>.

A moment later, a group of several dozen people entered the underground cave in an orderly manner.

Adrian approached and bowed his head.

“As you have instructed, my lord, I have captured and brought in Barkent and Sarokhan. Of course, their lives are not in danger.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Verden congratulated him.

Since we have subdued Rayshen, all that remains now is to finish him off.

Then, Adrian and Raishen happened to make eye contact.

Rayshen's face turned pale as he witnessed the unique dark blue long hair and sky blue eyes.

It was impossible not to recognize him, since he was the one who had brought him to the Eastern Continent just a few months ago.

“Ah, Adrian, Chanbus……?”

“It’s been a while, Rayshen Taillord.”

Click.

Adrian, who had his metal mask lowered for a moment, twisted the corner of his mouth. The test subject who had been confirmed dead through a forced magic circle was back alive and smiling.

“Why…….”

Rayshen burst into tears.

“How come I’m still alive until number 89!?”

Magical logic breaks down.

Things that I couldn't understand kept happening over and over again. My reason was shaken. I couldn't pretend to be calm anymore.

Rayshen felt like she was going crazy.
