Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 489

Episode 489 Crash Landing

That's right.

Judging from my memory, I have never seen anything with such magical properties, except for the power source of the Magic Tower.

It cannot be dismissed as a coincidence.

Through the intuition of a transcendent being, I realized that there is an inevitable causal relationship.

Ugh.

“Big…….”

Dahit was sweating profusely and blood was pouring out from the back of his neck.

My insides are a mess.

In particular, the magic circuit was damaged by nearly half. For a normal magician, this would be a permanent disability.

'Forcibly overloading the magic circuit by focusing all of the boundless magic power on me. What a crazy idea.'

If I had withdrawn my super magic and focused on defense, it wouldn't have ended up like this.

Even though it was an absurd amount of magical power, in the end it was pure magical power.

Even if you just wrapped your whole body in the flames of <Manghwa>… … you could prevent the opponent’s magical power from penetrating your magical circuits.

Of course, a lot of magic power must have been consumed.

Tch.

Dahit clicked his tongue, quickly sorting out his complicated feelings of anger and bewilderment.

It's no use mulling over feelings.

It is the right direction to look back on the memories later and analyze them rationally.

By the way.

‘… … How does the Magic Tower’s power source contain the magical power?’

It was widely known that the power source of the Bohemian Tower had run wild for some reason and collapsed…

Could it be that the power source's magical power reacted in that way because the source of the power was moved?

And that source was transplanted into the body of the transcendent being that invaded the Great Hall?

That sounds plausible.

However, this hypothesis has a fatal flaw that betrays its rationality.

'Then he should have died long ago.'

As Dahit saw with his own eyes, the power source of the magic tower was perfect as he saw it.

It is impossible to destroy or interfere with the super magic that affects the world, nor is it possible to use it for any other means than power.

It's unmanageable.

No matter what number you use, the human body will inevitably collapse.

There is no need to explain further as even Dahit's magic circuits were greatly damaged by the infinite magic power that was present for a short time.

'But if the hypothesis is true… … that Transcendent One is nothing more than a new successor to Black Hour.'

There is clearly a bigger background than that.

It is a history that cannot be compared to that of Melad, Cayman, and Harkan.

Because the first member who founded Black Hour would never have done anything to power the Bohemian Tower.

No matter how great they are, they cannot reach the level of magic that would allow them to break through the security of the Bohemian Tower, which is ranked second in the military hierarchy… … and tamper with its power source at will.

I can say this with certainty because I am a disciple.

'Yes, maybe even those masters don't know that the transcendent beings they have adopted as their masters are related to the power source of the Magic Tower.'

Suddenly, Dahit thought of an unidentified transcendent being.

Although I couldn't see exactly what it looked like because my perception was blocked by some means───I succeeded in seeing fragments of information using the necklace-shaped ancient artifact [Mahram's Pupil].

I don't know the color of the eyes.

However, a magic circle of a form I had never seen before was engraved on my right eye.

I don't even know what kind of robe he was wearing.

However, it was not difficult to guess that the power triggered from it was at the highest level among all artifacts.

I heard a voice.

However, since it was a man's voice that I was hearing for the first time, it had no meaning.

There are countless voices in the world.

I saw the staff.

The only thing I remember is the shape.

A dark gray body, a blue sphere, and three sharp, angular pillars surrounding it… … If I’m not mistaken, the blue sphere is an Orb made from the breath of the elements and magic crystals.

The magic is also unfamiliar.

There is nothing else.

Other than that, he has people close to him who are capable of manipulating the ring of change at an unusual speed, destroying the magic circle filled with black flame, and dealing with Karindin and <Amcheon> head-on.

'I got hit.'

There is so little information that it is meaningless.

Dahit turned his gaze.

I cooled my head as I saw that the fiftieth ring, where the [Eternal Hourglass] was supposed to be stored, was empty.

“What about the other executives?”

To Dahit's question, Karindin, who was taking the highest-grade potion, answered.

“…… Levana lost consciousness after being attacked by the Transcendent. She was seriously injured, but she can be fully recovered. However, Molobas died instantly.”

Molobas, a high-ranking official of Black Hour.

A black magician who specialized in the material world's black magic and pioneered the magic of using corpse body parts to replace parts of one's own body.

He was found dead, his body shattered by a red lightning bolt.

Although it is useful in many ways… … it is not necessarily essential to Black Hour.

If we only consider importance, Levana is much higher.

“Burn the body and retrieve any magic items that are not damaged.”

Dahit didn't do anything like mourning. It was inefficient.

That was also the reason why they did not go out of their way to punish those who failed to catch the intruders.

Karindin fully understood Dahit's way of thinking.

“But what will the Transcendent One do? If we trace the faint traces of space movement that remain, we will be able to pinpoint the coordinates and pursue them.”

“If you were planning to escape by teleporting from the beginning, it must mean that you prepared a distraction measure. It’s possible that you’ll miss them along the way, and there’s a high possibility that there will be traps prepared. Tracking is out of the question.”

Phew.

Dahit forcibly opened the magic gate and transformed [the chaos of revelation].

The pitch-black gloves were engulfed in black flames and rose into the air, taking the form of the staff he usually carried.

“And is it really necessary to chase after it? If it took the [Eternal Hourglass], it means it will come back later. To usurp my Black Hour.”

“…….”

While Dahit, as expected from a transcendent being, had calmly looked at the situation after organizing all his emotions… … Karindin had a hard time controlling his expression.

He had very complicated feelings about the friends he had betrayed coming back.

“Then what about the war with the Magic Tower Alliance?”

“This attack is nothing more than a trick by the old masters to deceive the transcendent beings who have invaded the Great Hall. Therefore, the front lines of the Western Continent should retreat as far as possible. If we continue to play along with them, it will only be an unnecessary waste of strength.”

Dahit turned around.

“Karindin Lerhar, have all the senior officers assembled in the Great Hall and stand by until I return.”

“Oh, I see.”

Dark Moon, looking down at her master and giving orders, slowly walked forward.

I observed the body as I walked over the bloodstains I had left behind.

Although it is far from enough to damage the homeostasis of a transcendent being, it feels like a significant portion of the magical circuitry has been damaged.

'I guess I'll have to focus on recovery for a while.'

The current Black Hour is an organization that exists only for one transcendent being.

Naturally, Dahit's regaining of power is the top priority.

"……hmm?"

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind and he furrowed his brows.

“Wait a minute, if that guy truly possesses the magical power of a power source, then that means he also possesses the magical properties of nature… So it’s possible to activate the [Eternal Hourglass] at will without a separate device?”

Of course, it might be difficult right now.

Because he was hit directly on his bare body by <Ichimatsu>, one of the 'three super magics' possessed by Dahitu, which boasts wide-ranging destruction.

Even if he doesn't die, it'll take quite some time for him to return to normal.

anyway.

“Maybe one day you’ll get to see my research on the ‘Ancient Wizard in the Ice’.”

I don't really care.

Even if you look for the research in [The Hourglass of Eternity], which has deviated from its original location and is a jumble of numerous research records, the important conclusions are not included.

Even if I knew, it didn't matter.

Because almost all preparations had already been completed.

'No one can interfere.'

Yeah, there's not much left.

The new era that will come to the magical world in the future will begin from this.

I'm just curious.

“……How will that guy react?”

Outside, Ignacia was very satisfied with the story and willingly gave her super magic.

Dahit headed to the secret room of the Great Hall, recalling such memories.

* * *

The space where the <Gate> connected to the main hall disappeared… …right in front of it, three men and women and a mini golem are sitting or lying down.

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

[… … .]

Verden, Adrian, Isabella, Alpha.

They were all so tired that they didn't even want to get up right away, they were close to exhaustion.

This was because the tension disappeared and a sense of relief came.

Isabella, whose right arm was blown off and suffered the most serious injury, was able to raise only her upper body.

I blinked and looked around.

White breath leaking out of the mouth.

"……eye?"

I thought my skin was cold when it touched the ground, but it was covered in snow all around. It must still be a long way before winter comes to the continent.

“Hey… Go? Weren’t you supposed to be moving towards the Western Continent? So that Black Hour can’t track the spatial movement as planned…….”

“That’s right.”

Verden answered, leaning back on the ground.

He was quietly catching his breath, unable to move a single finger.

[!]

Alpha threw down the [Eternal Hourglass] and turned his one eye towards Verden.

[Scanning… … His Majesty Verden is in critical condition. Unable to move. Severe physical overload. Absolute rest is required.]

“I’m pretty tired. But it’s not life-threatening.”

[Considering His Majesty Verden's resilience. Natural healing is possible. Confirmed.]

Verden dismissed Alpha's concerns.

My eyelids were heavy, but I had time to have a conversation.

Adrian's expression turned sour as the pain came on as soon as the excitement subsided.

He put his hand on my stomach, took a deep breath, and asked.

“My lord, what is the problem?”

“As you can see, there was a problem with [Einver]. Because of that, the spatial coordinates set in the <Gate> were greatly distorted.”

The walls of Verden moved slowly.

“I don’t know the exact location, but it’s probably here…….”

The view from the pure white hill.

A snowy field beneath a night sky filled with stars was reflected in everyone's field of vision.

“It must be the northernmost point of the continent.”

This is the northernmost tip of the central continent.

The Verden party crash-lands in the so-called northern part of the continent.

* * *

Each person checked their physical condition.

Adrian Chanvers.

Karindin's flames penetrated, burning the abdominal organs.

Also, the magic sword, Cedence, broke as a result of one blow to Dahit's magic.

“But if you apply first aid, it’s bearable.”

Isabella Deiros.

Thanks to the regenerative powers of this brother, most of his wounds were healed.

Except for the right arm,

The flames of Dahit's magic, the power of destruction, made recovery much slower. It would take time to restore the lost arm.

“……Ah, really. When I caught Rayshen, I lost my left arm. This time, it’s my right arm?”

Alpha.

Almost half of the mini golem's right arm was destroyed, but there was no other problem.

However, because Verden's condition is not good, it is difficult to recharge magical power, so it has become necessary to refrain from using magical functions for the time being.

[No problem.]

Finally, Verden.

He fought a magical battle with Dahith Wesroel, and to put it a bit exaggeratedly, there was no place he was unscathed.

'The trauma isn't that bad, but… … .'

As a result of activating Interis and moving its infinite magical power as it pleased, the magical circuits, which were already under a great burden, became overloaded.

In particular, super magic was crucial.

Being swept up in the destruction of Dahit, he lost a great deal of strength and suffered very deep internal injuries.

If it weren't for [Einver's] resistance, my limbs wouldn't have been intact.

'If it's an injury at this level… … it can recover naturally.'

This is also the exclusive property of the transcendent.

“Phew.”

As planned, I stole the [Eternal Hourglass].

Above all, Verden was deeply relieved that no one had died in the Great Hall.

There is now only one task at hand.

… … Now that there is a problem with the <Gate>, how should we move in this unfamiliar snowy field?
