Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 4

Episode 4: Reverse (4)

Qi, magic power, divine power.

There are three powers that humans can possess. Of these, magic is the most universal power and has infinite possibilities. No matter what anyone says, the ones who are currently developing the world are magicians who control magic.

However, such developments do not always go in a positive direction. Advances into the unknown are fraught with unforeseen dangers.

The power source of the Magic Tower is the greatest invention in human history.

However, even the wizards who designed, invented, and studied it could not have predicted that it would be destroyed by a single person, and one with the lowest of talents.

… … The tower was silent.

Not even the slightest breath could be heard anywhere in the center.

In the still darkness, objects that had lost their owners fell to the floor, and a bite-sized sandwich was left in the bowl. As if someone had evaporated, all signs of life disappeared.

Except in one place.

“Coolook, coolook!”

Verden coughed and raised his upper body. The cracked staff of the tower lost its shape and crumbled.

He blinked blankly in the darkness and felt around. Very slowly.

The magic circle of the reverse sky was still engraved, but everything else was different.

Where did the rag-like body go? It was firm and smooth as new.

I felt like my vitality, which had been diminished by the drugs, was overflowing. There was a strength inside me that was incomparable to before.

And the magic circle that had given the magic power to the magic tower disappeared.

The reversal was successful.

“I’ve surpassed the first level…….”

The current Verden's level is 2nd level, without reformation or holding a staff. It is at best, but he has transcended the limits.

Everything that should have been destroyed by the magic circle of the reverse sky was intact. No, the reconstructed body was completely new.

The possibility of advancing to a higher level, that is, talent, has arisen.

Because I had experienced a realm that I could not even imagine for a moment, I was able to be certain that I too would be able to become a magician, or even higher.

Bam! Berden clenched his fist and observed his body.

“But what exactly is this magical power?”

The magical power flowing through it was too vast to be considered a second-tier power.

Was it because I became one with the power source? It was an unexpected result, but there seemed to be no problem. In fact, it was good. It was excessive, but I was confident that I could handle it.

I got up from my seat and activated the magic circuit.

<Implication>

A 2nd level magic. It would have been impossible to activate if it had been activated, but it was activated easily.

'Then I guess I can use all the other tier 2 magics I know.'

But it's still too early to rejoice.

The plan is to survive until the end to succeed.

Verden, who had been wandering around, found an exit in the rubble. He used his brute force and <psychokinesis> to push away the collapsed barrier and ran down the hallway.

When we returned to the management office, the bodies of the two wizards were gone without a trace. Even the magical paper and magical items were gone.

'Did it disappear because it couldn't withstand the power of the power source?'

As expected. The magical power emitted by the power source far exceeded the limits of individual living creatures.

Probably all the wizards near the center would have died. The rest outside would have fainted.

I have no intention of sympathizing. I have no regrets. This was also revenge.

Verden, who had turned over the robe hanging on the hanger, stepped forward. He caught sight of human traces scattered here and there. He saw some useful things along the way, but he couldn't create variables because of his greed.

A cleaning supplies room in the corner of the hallway. When I opened the door, dust flew up.

As I hurriedly cleared away the clutter and pushed the old wardrobe aside, a magic circle composed of complex spells appeared.

'Fortunately, there is no distortion.'

An escape hatch made by scraping together materials held by the tower over the years.

Will it be safely transferred to the designated coordinates? … . It was a very difficult magic circle, so I couldn't help but feel anxious. There was also the possibility that it would be buried underground or buried in the deep sea.

A moment of hesitation.

Kuung! A loud noise was heard from far away. Soon, a huge magical power was caught in the expanded air, and the floor began to shake as it got closer by the second.

There is only one person who can cause this phenomenon right now.

Balok Vesias, the master of the Bohemian Tower.

He was rushing straight towards this place.

“Did you sense the magic I used…!”

It's probably not even a drop of magic power compared to the magic tower, but it's more absurd than you might think.

Now that it's come to this, there's only one choice: get caught and be torn to pieces, or be moved through space.

He carried the bag containing the items from the treasure vault and various alchemy materials on his shoulder and poured magical power into the magic circle.

Kiiing──I feel my body being dragged away as purple light flashes.

The destination was a distant coordinate that Matapju's eyes could not reach. As the light flashed, Verden's figure disappeared without a trace.

Boom!

Immediately after, the wall exploded and a middle-aged wizard appeared. His eyes reflected a magic circle slowly disappearing from the rubble.

“Spatial movement……!”

Crunch. Baloch clenched his teeth in rage.

I tried to track it down quickly, but it was already too late. Since the magic circle had disappeared without a trace, there was nothing any wizard could do.

I missed it.

At that fact, Baloch's eyes became bloodshot.

“How dare you!”

How dare you mess up my magic tower and run away unharmed? In front of me, the so-called omnipotent magician?

It is unacceptable.

As the master of the magic tower, and as the lord of magic.

'The power source went wild and the space travel happened. He definitely couldn't have done it alone!'

It probably wasn't another magic tower. No matter how competitive it was, this was just too much.

That means there must be some who are hostile to the Bohemian Tower and have powers comparable to the Tower. There were several candidates in his mind.

Kukukukukuku… … !

The wildly rampaging magical power shook the magic tower.

“It doesn’t matter who it is……!”

Anyone who is even slightly related to this will be torn to pieces and killed.

Even if he is the emperor of a country, or even if he is a child who has not yet fully grown up.

So cruel, brutal, and painful that you'll regret being alive. More than just trampling on their pride, it will destroy everything they have.

I will make you pay dearly for daring to touch the Bohemian Tower.

And I will carve into your bones and soul the identity of the being called Baloch.

“I will definitely find them and kill them all!”

Aaaah …

A scream full of rage.

Kwakwakwakwang! A lightning bolt struck from the dark clouds that enveloped the magic tower.

* * *

In a deep forest where human footsteps rarely reach, an unfamiliar light burst out from a place where the eyes of the magic tower cannot reach, and a person appears, rolling on the dirt floor.

“Ugh…….”

Knock knock! Knock knock!

For those not used to teleportation, it can be quite an unpleasant feeling, as they say it makes their stomachs tangle.

Verden, who had barely managed to calm down after coughing continuously, looked around.

“It’s my first time seeing this forest…….”

Having lived in the Tower since I was 8 years old, there were no familiar places, but the forest environment I was seeing now was something I could not see around the Bohemian Tower.

That means that the space travel of almost half a continent was successful. Following the reversal, he successfully escaped with his limbs intact.

There was no way to trace him. All traces had been erased, and it was clear that the existence of Verden, a first-tier wizard, had been annihilated due to the power source's overload. The same goes for the documents containing magical power used in the Magic Tower.

It may have been bad news for Robelin and the orphanage director, but it was the best outcome.

"haha……."

A smile appeared on his lips.

Now that the plan has been more successful than expected and safety has been secured, nothing can stop Verden from smiling.

“Hahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!”

This is the first time in my life I've laughed like this.

How on earth would the topper feel? He must be furious. He might even scream and destroy the poor topper.

It was a shame that I couldn't see for myself what kind of vain expressions the disciples or the magicians belonging to the Magic Tower had.

"ha……."

But the tower does not fall to this extent.

The explosion of the power source would have killed many of the magicians near the center, but it was a small loss for the entire tower. There were many empty seats because it was a festival day.

'Even if the power source is lost, the top tower will come up with a solution.'

The wizard Balok Vesias is no pushover. His nickname of 'omnipotent' is by no means an empty boast.

I am confident that we will rebuild the Bohemian Tower in a new way that has never been seen before.

“That’s enough.”

While he devotes his energies to rebuilding the Magic Tower, he builds up his strength with his new-found talents.

At least to the point where we can confront the Baloch head on.

When the time comes, I will go and find him myself and thoroughly trample on his lofty pride.

He will destroy everything he has built before his eyes, while at the same time imprinting the wizard Verden on the world.

Revenge and the Wizard's Proof.

Those were Verden's only tasks.

“A wizard of the first rank defeats the magician of the magic tower…….”

It's a story that seems to come out of a novel somewhere, but it's not too bad.

Because the main character was Verden himself. Verden snickered and rummaged through the bag he had brought.

When deciding on the coordinates, I set it to the territory of a distant principality. Even if you were a wizard, wandering around a remote place naked was close to suicide.

So, I brought plenty of money, clothes, drinking water, and a lot of dried food. I thought I would be able to last until I reached the nearest village.

He was wearing clean clothes and a robe wrapped around him. Looking down, he looked like he was wearing a very wizard-like outfit.

With a satisfied look on his face, he held up a small hand mirror and looked at his face.

"……huh?"

What is this?

His hair… … was gone. No, not that he was bald, but his brown hair had turned ashen.

And what about the eyes? The black pupils have disappeared and are replaced by clear blue eyes.

“Did you have any problems reconstructing the body?”

I quickly checked, but other than the head and eyes, everything else was the same.

There was also a magical amount that was out of the normal hierarchy, and although it is currently unknown what phenomenon occurred, there were no noticeable side effects.

Well, that's just the theory.

It's not uncommon in the magic world for results you couldn't even imagine to become reality.

'You need to be careful though.'

There's no need to panic.

… … But only the hair and eye color changed, but it looks pretty good. What should I say? I guess you could say he looks like a mysterious wizard. The face is the same, but the atmosphere has changed a lot.

Even if I happened to meet Robelin, I thought she might pass me by without noticing.

This would be a welcome side effect, as long as it didn't cause hair loss or progressive loss of vision.

'Since there is no immediate solution anyway, we have no choice but to leave it alone.'

I put the mirror away and took a sip of water.

After chewing and swallowing the jerky to fill my stomach, I spread out the map I had prepared.

If the coordinates are correct, there should be a territory where people live to the north.

First of all, securing a safe place to live is the top priority. Using the items brought from the tower comes next.

“Then shall we go?”

Verden stepped into the forest.

The smell of the passing grass and trees came vividly to me.

The life of a wandering wizard, first encountered after escaping from the hateful magic tower.

It was more exciting than riding in a carriage to the magic tower as a child.
