Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 421

Episode 421: Mokdo

The dark clouds stand quietly in place.

Berden, standing on the edge of a steep cliff, gazed at the white mountain ranges.

As I exhaled, steam rose along with my breath.

It's a quiet landscape.

The blue mountains did not make a sound, as if they were trying to remain silent.

A transcendent sense of being flowing through existence. Verden felt a sense of omnipotence he had never experienced before.

It is not ambiguous.

Achieving a state of complete transcendence. This was the result of choice.

“…….”

Isabella stared at Verden from the side. Her eyes were stained with a mixture of emotions, including curiosity and shock.

She approached quietly and slowly extended her arm.

Knock knock.

Isabella lightly poked Verden's shoulder with her index finger. She caressed the back of his hand and ran her fingers through his gray hair.

A hand touching the face.

Isabella blinked and gently pulled at one of Verden's cheeks.

“What are you doing?”

“This is my first time seeing a Transcendent up close… Since I’ve come this far, I was curious to see what had changed on the outside, so I checked. But it doesn’t seem to be any different than usual, right? Aside from the robe’s appearance being a little different and dyed black.”

Of course, that's natural.

Although it is said that the Transcendent One is a being that transcends humanity, it is not a metamorphic being and there is no way that it would change much in appearance.

I can't say for sure though.

“So how are you feeling?”

It's hard to describe.

But if I had to put it into words… … .

“It feels so relaxing.”

It was as if my blocked vision had cleared up. The world looked different.

The perspective of a transcendent being.

Deepened insight allowed him to see things more deeply than before.

Adrian said.

“My lord, who was not just a simple 6th rank but a semi-transcendent one, has overcome the wall of awakening… so can we say that he has ascended to the lower rank of the 7th rank?”

Verden has finally achieved complete magic.

The incomplete state where only half of the magic was awakened no longer exists. Even without the crimson magic power, one can cast magic located at the 7th level.

In terms of land, it is back on track.

But that doesn't mean that its former specialness has disappeared.

Conversely, it got worse.

Verden did not abandon the possibility, but he moved forward while embracing the infinite possibilities that existed.

Magic <Infinite>

It is the essence of pure self that one has dreamed of as a wizard.

Magic <Destruction>

It is the essence of the self that goes against the will of heaven through reversal.

'I got my hands on two magic swords.'

Additionally, as the body and mind achieved magical harmony, the magical power of the heart that had been partially sealed was completely unlocked.

Endless magic.

They swayed roughly along the flow of <Arcane>.

───!

A crimson magical power flickers around.

Verden raised his head and revealed the status of a complete transcendent being.

thrill.

The air currents turn in the opposite direction, the dark clouds clear, and the sky opens up.

Light began to pour down from the split atmosphere. Warm light illuminated the harsh nature of the blue mountain range.

“I don’t think it would be very meaningful to categorize my current level into a hierarchy.”

The current state of Verden has become simpler and more primitive.

There is room for growth. As long as he wants to become stronger, he will become stronger. No one can stop him. There are no limits to Verden.

“What… realization did you have?”

Isabella asked the reason for the awakening.

What I gained from meeting the World Tree. The destination of madness that led to transcendence.

“This isn’t something we should talk about now. It won’t be too late to talk about the details after we’ve finished our revenge. But to put it briefly….”

Verden looked down on the world.

“I plan to turn the entire continent upside down.”

An ideal beyond revenge.

If you try to make it happen, it will happen naturally.

Adrian and Isabella held their breath and unconsciously clenched their fists.

Slowly.

Alpha rode [Einver] and settled on Verden's nape.

[I'm glad you're safe. It's been 43 days, Your Majesty Verden.]

“43 days? The process was longer than expected.”

Only then did I become aware of the passage of time.

Verden, who had just fully charged Alpha's power, asked.

“But why are you here? Did something happen to the ownerless land?”

"that is."

[Awakening is unknown. Dangerous situations may occur. Just in case, wait near His Majesty Verden. Adrian and Isabella's judgment.]

Alpha answered immediately.

Adrian and Isabella, who received Verden's gaze, remained silent.

“Well, it’s only been two months, so nothing much should happen. Anyway, as you can see, our goal has been achieved, so let’s head back.”

Verden reached out.

“By space travel.”

The pitch-black [Einver] is activated.

A dark light flickered at the same time as a huge amount of magical power was consumed at once.

The space is opened up.

A circular entrance made of purple light appeared before everyone's eyes.

“One of the new features of [Einver] is ‘Gate.’”

Ainver, a name meaning “flawless” in ancient language.

An evolved artifact created by the first Demon King for use by Transcendent beings.

The manager said.

───If you reach Transcendence, Einver will evolve to match you. As its name implies, it will be flawless. As for its performance, it depends on the owner, so I cannot dare to give advice.

In short, [Einver] also awakened following Verden's transcendence.

'The change from a platinum robe to a pitch-black robe is one of many changes.'

The overall performance has been greatly enhanced, and you can clearly feel what functions have been added even without <feeling> it.

The relic of the Demon King.

As expected, it was completely different from the typical ancient artifacts.

“So if you pass through here, your lord will go straight to a specific spatial coordinate?”

“Not only that, you can go back and forth in both directions while the gate is open. Of course, since it’s performance, there’s a waiting time, but in that case, you just have to spend the time to create a space movement line.”

Verden smiled leisurely.

“With this, the courtship of the street has disappeared.”

The great powers that rule the world have at least one secret means of overcoming space, such as flying machines or magical items.

Verden was also included in the same ranks.

Before leaving the Blue Mountains, Verden turned his gaze to the old man.

“I think I should go back now, so I’ll visit the cabin later. I’m sorry for causing a commotion unintentionally.”

It was a natural decline.

The tone of voice was different than before, but the man didn't care at all.

Rather, I felt it was natural.

“Oh, no. Please come back whenever you have time, and I’ll treat you to a more delicious tea then.”

“Don’t expect it. What’s your name?”

The man opened his mouth.

It was a name I hadn't heard in a long time.

“I… my name is Jose.”

“Jose. I will remember.”

Verden turned around and entered the gate.

Adrian and Isabella followed in turn, and soon the space closed.

In an instant, everyone disappeared without a trace.

“…….”

Jose was left alone.

He gazed blankly at the vast expanse of blue mountains where the snowstorm had disappeared… … and the splendid scenery stained with brilliant light.

Suddenly, I rummaged through my bosom.

The sculpture in the shape of the guest that he had intended to give to the guest as a gift was reflected in his eyes.

The greatness of that being engraved in my mind stimulated my soul.

In the scriptures, it is said that only the god of light, Luas, is the one and only god.

but.

'I saw God today.'

The nature of the blue mountains… … no, the world was ruled by individuals. The sky was turned upside down. What other being could cause such a phenomenon if not God?

He was just a citizen.

Whether he was a transcendent being or not, he only appeared that way from the perspective of an ordinary person.

Jose ran across the snow.

I had to get to the cabin before my memories faded even a little. I had to capture my current emotions in a piece.

I just wanted to do that.

Jose, who had experienced a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, felt his heart pounding for the first time in a long time.

Bam.

A rusty crucifix fell from a pocket inside his robe, the symbol of the Luasian faith that Jose had long carried, half-buried in the snow.

Snow-laden clouds approach from afar, once again covering the blue mountains.

Reflected sunlight.

The crucifix left alone glowed dimly in the approaching darkness.

Dark Wotton Tower on the Eastern Continent.

There is an old man at the top of a tower built in an area inaccessible to anyone but those involved.

Dark Warton's Magic Tower.

Transcendence of Death, Reindell Nexleon.

He stood in one place, his gaze fixed towards the west.

Although I felt nothing with my transcendent magical senses, it was because the magic <Eclipse> was reacting.

prescribed death.

The concept of death that Linedel had observed and accepted over the years is now being shaken.

“Master? What are you doing here?”

The successor, Haldirn, approached.

I wonder if it will be okay in a day or two… … I was worried about Matapju, who had been blankly staring at the world from the top of the tower for several days.

But Linedel did not respond.

Even though his only disciple had arrived, he did not take his gaze away.

That was when.

He suddenly raised both arms and began to clap slowly.

“Applause!”

"yes?"

“The change has begun.”

It was a statement that was difficult for Haldirn to understand.

But without trying to ask again, he started clapping his hands following his teacher.

As if it were death itself, the Master's eyes, which had always been dark, were filled with a vitality I had never seen before.

* * *

The land of the beginning.

The World Tree, sitting on a small lime green hill, squinted its eyes at the sky.

“……You made a choice.”

The world that had stopped starts moving again. Of course, it is completely different from before.

As the tangled flow unraveled, the previous direction completely changed, and darkness fell, making it impossible to observe the future.

The unknown returns.

The 'end' that had been disappearing along with him began to reveal itself.

“The world is back to its original state… The gears of destiny that ‘you’ created have stopped. Even ‘you’ are asleep because of the ‘resistance’, so you can’t respond. I didn’t know that we would be connected like this.”

but.

“In the end, it’s back to the starting point. ‘You,’ ‘the resister,’ ‘the singularity’… The distant future will be decided again by the winner.”

As fate cycles, eternity begins.

Will fate fall apart and meet its end?

Otherwise, it might lead to results no one could have imagined.

The only variable is the singularity, Verden.

Its original purpose was like that, but when I met it, it became even more difficult to read.

This was because he chose to transcend after facing himself instead of accepting the leaves of the world tree right away.

The world tree brought back memories of long years.

“Resistor, Oldark… As of today, your defeat has been eliminated. If you break the seal and meet and persuade the singularity, Verden, you may be able to achieve your wish.”

She tilted her head.

“But will Verden follow you? I doubt it. To be honest, I’m skeptical. So what will happen… I’m really curious.”

An unpredictable future.

The world tree smiled at the anticipation it felt after a long time.

It soon turned to sadness.

“Of course, no matter what the future holds, I will just watch.”

At one time, the world's capital resisted the restraints of fate by standing up to 'you'.

And lost.

The duty of the observing being was the words of the defeated.

* * *

The group of Verdens who passed through the gate returned to the uninhabited land. Since they had set their coordinates in the middle of an uninhabited forest, there was no disturbance.

Back in the city, Arane.

As soon as I entered the castle, I encountered Keirel running around busily.

“Why did it take so long───”

Kayrel paused.

Because Verden's appearance was so different from the last time I saw him.

The atmosphere was especially like that. It was Suin's reflexive intuition.

Kayrel, who was momentarily speechless, muttered something random.

“……Black suits you well too.”
