Episode 478: Perfect
A cool breeze is blowing.
The vast sea ripples ceaselessly as if it were alive.
Regularly bending ripples.
Sometimes, waves would come and crash down, tangling and crashing wildly.
In the middle of the vast ocean, a single reef suddenly rose up.
Just now, the deep-water terrain was artificially manipulated and the rocks were raised.
“…….”
Verden stood on the reef, holding the Interis in one hand.
The natural sea, where one does not have to worry about the gaze of others or the destruction of nature, was a place of infinite freedom for the transcendent.
'It's already fall.'
The following year we got one step closer.
From the City Union, the Kylians to the Republic of Beldirn, they fought alongside Adrian for the glory of the corpse.
He took control of the territory of the ownerless land and persuaded the wise men of the Society to form a cooperative relationship.
Killed Rayshen Taillord.
Easybella joined.
Reunited with Alpha.
After meeting the World Tree, I finally reached transcendence in the Blue Mountains.
He commissioned Gharun to create Intelis and brought homeless dwarves to the Land of No Man.
And now, we head to the Black Hour's main base.
Verden exhaled as he quickly recalled the memories of this year.
Looking at the deep blue waves reflecting the sunlight, I thought of another transcendent being.
'The dark moon, Dahit Westroel.'
Verden had many conversations with the first members of the Dahit masters, Melad Tastyen and Cayman Vermont.
Thanks to that, I had a rough idea of what kind of power Dahit possessed.
The magic sword of destruction.
The magic pioneered by Dahit completely changes the basic nature of flame, creating a black flame that endlessly burns any material it touches as magic power is consumed.
It is literally absolutely fatal.
However, as Dahit achieved awakening, his unique black flame evolved further, going beyond incineration and entering the realm of annihilation.
This meant that if one were to be properly swallowed by Dahit's magic, not even a corpse, let alone ashes, would remain.
Like the recently deceased Diamun Matapju.
‘… … It’s difficult.’
If Dahit and I were to engage in a magic battle using all our might, it would be a complete battle of wits.
Even though the paths pursued by each magic were different, they were ultimately the same in that they specialized in destroying each other.
If you get pushed back even once, you may end up defeated without being able to turn things around.
So, you have to actively respond to every possible situation, and even if you are exploited, you have to tenaciously take every bit of flesh you can.
Extreme slaughter.
Of course, that applies not only to Verden, but also to Dahit.
'But if the close fight continues, I will be the one who is increasingly at a disadvantage.'
Dahit has lived as a transcendent being for a long time, so he must have accumulated a lot of experience and must be hiding some extraordinary secret method.
'Maybe I have more than two super magics.'
Whatever it is, it will at least be stronger than when we usurped Black Hour.
So how can we narrow the gap between the years, or even eliminate it altogether?
Stacking time?
As I mentioned before, it's obviously out of the question.
It is extremely inefficient as you cannot specify a date.
Many methods come up and are discarded.
Verden, who returned to the ownerless land in the volcanic zone of the Western Continent, pondered deeply from time to time and considered the possibility of its realization.
The answer to the question largely came down to three things.
'The first answer is super magic.'
A unique magic that is exclusive to those who have some influence on the world, and can counter Dahit's super magic and inflict fatal damage.
During a bet with the Grand Duke of Revandale, he saw glimpses of super magic and succeeded in spontaneously combining two magic swords into one.
Based on this, Verden went straight into construction after passing the planning stage.
A gray satellite that imitates the magic of Yunia and combines infinity and destruction… … .
Verden studied what kind of magic he could create with the unknown magical power contained within it, and soon came up with a brilliant idea.
'This ash-gray magic is not much different from the Holy Spirit's attribute. Except for the difference in degree, it is almost the same.'
A combination of magic and holy spirit magic.
Verden immediately began experimenting.
* * *
The Holy Spirit Magic created by Harkan Dazest, the first member of Black Hour, consists of a total of five.
The first star, a meteor.
The second star, the comet, Larenia.
The third star, the spiritual star, Alhena.
The fourth star, the closing star, Legnarum.
The fifth star and satellite, Theab.
Originally, the so-called 'Holy Spirit Attribute' that was the basis of this magic was embodied in Harkan's magic, but it was truly completed the moment it was possessed by Verden.

Verden asked himself.
Why are the attributes of the Holy Spirit gray?
Looking at the memories he received from Harkan, he was unaware of the external form the Holy Spirit's attributes took.
Because I've never actually seen it.
In short, it is like becoming a parent but not being able to see your child's face.
However───even if he had witnessed it, the conclusion observed by the wise man, Harkan Dazest, and the reality would have been completely different.
because.
'It was I who was the cause of the Holy Spirit's ashen attributes from the beginning.'
It was the result of observing as a transcendent being.
'What should I say about this?'
Could it be explained that the potion that grants the holy spirit properties created by Harkan through magic was absorbed into the body… … and that the phenomenon of magical development was instantaneously manifested under the influence of the user?
Of course, this is only the phenomenon itself.
If the Holy Spirit magic was a type of magic in the first place, not only Verden but other magicians would have noticed it long ago.
'anyway.'
The Holy Spirit attribute and Holy Spirit magic became unique due to the influence of the being called Verden, and the magical combination is proof of the being called Verden.
That's why the two have the same ending.
In the past, when he was still at the level of a semi-transcendent being, he attained the third star.
And recently, after completing the magic sword through awakening, I naturally came to realize the fourth and fifth stars.
The number of foundations that can become components of super magic has increased.
So Verden set out to conduct research with full hope, but… … .
'this.'
Before long, a moment of deep thought arrived.
'The third star and below are completely unable to withstand the power of the magical combination.'
It felt as if 6th-tier magic had been forced into 5th-tier magic. Naturally, the vessel could not hold out and shattered into pieces.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!
Verden, who was significantly shocked by the aftermath, calmed himself down and mechanically moved on to the next experiment.
This is done using newly acquired stars.
But as expected, the two top stars were not a proper alternative.
Because the direction was different from the start.
The fourth star, the Sealing Star, Regnarum, is none other than a sealing magic.
The fifth star, the satellite Theab, had strong auxiliary characteristics.
It was not suitable for fully embodying the transcendent destructive power that Verden had envisioned and desired.
'Well, it wouldn't be fun if it was solved easily.'
For the first time in a long time, Verden poured out all his true wizardly passion and dedication.
Of course, there was no giving up halfway.
If he failed, he got up right away, and if he succeeded in taking even one step, or even half a step, he smiled.
Just like last year, we created a supernova by forcibly linking a meteor and a spirit using the potential of the magic <Infinity>.
Verden actively relived that experience, this time tearing out all the Holy Spirit magic and combining them again.
The transcendent pours out effort and talent.
Using all of your knowledge and experience as a stepping stone, you go through countless trials and errors.
The results were clear.
It was a few days after our meeting with Cayman Vermont.
Verden achieved his goal.
'at las……!'
A strange light appeared in Verden's eyes.
The results of research and experiments were laid out before my eyes.
The sky that was within the range of the super magic turned ashen and then very slowly regained its color.
In an instant, a huge amount of water rushed into the empty space in the sea where a giant sinkhole had formed, filling the void.
"under."
Verden stumbled with an unfamiliar sense of weakness and reached out to touch the reef's head with Interis.
At the same time, I was thrilled with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
'Completion of the first super magic.'
A new trump card to deal with Dahit Wesroel is now in hand.
This was one of the solutions to bridge the gap with Dahit.
'And the second answer is artifacts.'
The fourth function of the evolved [Einver] is <Encryption>, which grants special powers using the magic of destruction as its driving force.
The end of order, the 'start-up' of Interis.
Although I haven't used it in actual combat yet, I think it would be able to deal with the artifacts that Dahit possesses.
This was a certainty.
'The third and final answer is… …the combination of magic and the elements.'
In other words, it is the merging of magic <destruction> and the elements.
It was an idea derived from successfully uniting two magic swords on the spot.
'But you can't use it in various ways by combining it with other elements at that time. It takes too long to concentrate. It's an area that can't be shortened with the magic eye.'
So, to use the third solution, you need to bind the Doom Spell with the corresponding elemental attribute.
Only then can it fall into the category where Ma-an's spontaneity works.
Of course, even if you maintain the bond, it is still possible to activate the Destruction Magic and its elements individually.
However, there is a drawback in that it takes a very long time to rebind the Magic of Destruction with another element, as it requires a process of unbinding and rebinding.
'So, you must choose one element from this place and form a bond with the magician.'
“…….”
Verden opened up a subspace.
I summoned the unregistered magic book given to me by my childhood friend, Robelin, which I obtained from Ignacia's scales.
I've been keeping it because I didn't know which element would be best to choose until now… … but now it's time to decide.
This is not a situation where we can save power.
'Combine the elements registered in the magic book into the magic of destruction.'
Which element would be good?
What kind of magic can further enhance the strengths of the Magic of Destruction?
About two hours had passed since I was lost in thought.
Verden created a new elemental magic book through the magic stone and placed it in the artifact [The Magic Book of the Multiverse] obtained from the Ark.
We are fully prepared.
* * *
The first magic king's golem research facility.
Alpha, who returned to the main body, stored all the memories he experienced as a mini golem.
Then he looked very carefully at the Beta core he had received from Verden.
[7% chance of complete repair. 88% chance of core collapse if failure. Plan 1 is scrapped. Change to Plan 2. We will secure only the irreplaceable core from Beta's core.]
Alpha delicately manipulated Beta's core using the devices and tools in the research facility.
It was a rational decision to boldly remove any damaged or difficult to repair parts and only save the parts that could be saved.
There are no mistakes or errors.
It was because he was a golem and had no physiological hand tremors, and his determination to fix it was so firm.
Beta is a golem created after Alpha was created.
therefore…….
[Beta. Little brother.]
Alpha used the words he had learned while traveling with Verden to spur the restoration of his younger brother Golem, who was almost 100 years younger than him.
Beta's core has become smaller and more stable than before.
After that, we designed the frame that would become Beta's body, and thoroughly analyzed what was needed in the process.
The technology was not available to revive Beta immediately.
Time passed.
Verden came to the research facility.
Alpha, who had just quickly approached, looked up at Verden and reported the situation.
[Your Majesty Verden. I need a natural golem.]
“Natural golem?”
[Difficulties in designing Beta's exclusive frame. A special function that was naturally created in Beta's frame in the Great Forest. Considering that it is powered by external magic, it is judged to be somewhat similar to a natural golem. Capturing a natural golem is essential for research progress.]
Natural golems are a naturally occurring heteromorphic species that are created by using an object with a high concentration of magical power as their core.
The frequency of discovery is low.
I've only seen Verden twice so far.
“I need to capture the natural golem alive and transport it here… It’ll take time, but I understand. I’ll do it somehow.”
[Thank you. Long live His Majesty Verden.]
Alpha raised both arms.
Verden said.
“Alpha, we will be leaving the Land of No Man soon due to the Black Hour incident I mentioned earlier. If you want to come with me, I will take you with me.”
Alpha is versatile.
He's not just a golem that needs protection. There are more than enough reasons to bring him to the Black Hour Hall.
[Of course. But where are you going?]
“First, we’ll go to the other side of the world, to a place called Libereas. It’s said to be the place where demons fled to avoid the light.”
devil.
Alpha's eyes sparkled at the name of the alien species that he knew through knowledge but had never actually seen.
Alpha, who had become a mini golem again, settled on Verden's nape.
[depart.]
Alpha was full of curiosity.
And it was so great to travel the world with Verden.
