Episode 507: Chapter of Persuasion (3)
The three that Osgar was referring to were none other than the three wise men of the Society, and the simple summary of what he meant by having a magic battle is as follows.
Come out.
Let's have a go.
It was an extremely effective suggestion to persuade the six wizards, including Grave and Alderis, with actions rather than trying to explain things in complicated terms.
'Well, I've thought about it too.'
Verden didn't even try to say it out loud, he just kept it in his mind.
How can I say it?
He would prove himself to be the adversary of Dahith Wesroel by sacrificing the wise men in front of everyone… … Verden could not bring himself to do that because he had a sense of honor.
Of course, if they were the ones making the offer first, it would be a different story.
“Are you serious?”
“Most people here have never directly experienced your ‘present’ strength. I think this is a good opportunity.”
To Verden's question, the wise man, Melad, answered quietly.
“Let us show you our ‘power’.”
As the leaders and strongest force of the Society, they will show off their hidden powers.
It is a heavy decision for wizards who rarely reveal what kind of magic they use or what kind of magic they pioneer.
The more you hide, the more advantageous it is in most situations.
To reveal that would mean… … in other words, going a little further than the current scope of cooperation with Verden.
“If this was going to happen, you could have told me in advance.”
“I couldn’t help it. I really thought it through until the very end and came up with it. Anyway, the conclusion is this. If what you want to achieve includes ours, why would we have to go our separate ways in the middle?”
The nearby guardian sage, Medrant, added and looked at her. This was the result of observing Verden as a society.
It became clear that it was not Osgar's unilateral decision, but rather a consensus reached by three people.
Verden recalled the society's ultimate goal.
Does it overlap with your ideals? The answer comes right away.
Yes, that's right.
So there is no reason to hesitate.
“I accept it.”
Verden takes a step forward, summoning [Interis] from the subspace.
Isabella lifted the hem of her robe slightly as if to see her off and bowed lightly, and Adrian, who had just returned, also gladly bowed his head.
Starting with him, all the wizards involved in the Society, including Hares and Ophea, naturally split into two sides.
“Are you saying that the seniors and the wise men are having a magic battle right now? Really?”
“I can finally see my senior’s true strength.”
Cain and Yunia, who had not been able to spar due to various reasons, were muttering behind their backs.
It was a look full of curiosity and excitement.
'what…….'
Grave, who had tested Adrian and Isabella, took a deep breath. An inexplicable sense of pressure was weighing on his mind. The six defeated soldiers, including him, retreated without realizing it.
Verden, who had passed the neatly emptied path, stood on one of the many hills of the Lages Plateau and turned his gaze forward.
The magnificent scenery is captured within the walls.
'It's so wide that I don't have to worry about damage to the surrounding area.'
Since it's all land, it'll be easy to collect it later using <Terrain Manipulation>.
It's a good place to have a magic battle.
As soon as Verden showed his intention to accept, the wise men had already taken up residence on the wide plain between the hills of the plateau below.
'It looks like you're well prepared.'
Like them, Verden, who had never actually experienced the power of an opponent with whom he had formed a partnership, fell leisurely down the cliff.
Aldenis's eyes, which had been staring at his back, began to shake.
Although Medrant Keden is the owner of the Ostea Tower, the lowest of the tower rankings, he is still one of the ten tower lords.
Osgar Pargan is a monster known to have once been ranked as one of the two most powerful of the six Lords of the Arnak Empire.
Melad Tastyen was a balanced figure among the original members. Not in an ambiguous way, but in a positive way.
She is a powerful sorceress with deep expertise in black magic and elemental magic.
'Everyone, including the realm, are beings at the top of the magic world. But you're going to deal with them alone?
There are only two possible cases.
Among the countless magicians who were born thanks to the hierarchical magic system created by the first magic tower, there are those who are exceptionally strong or… … .
Or beyond the scope of human beings.
'Could it be, a transcendent being…?'
It was at that moment that Aldenis, whose head was spinning quickly, approached the answer that had insufficient evidence.
widely.
Verden reached the ground.
Three wise men and a divine being confronted on the Plateau of Lages.
* * *
Verden's overall magical abilities are specialized in destruction.
Naturally, the process of disarming an opponent involves physical shock.
Unless they go all out like in the first match against Dahit, Osgar and Medrant should probably be able to hold out to some extent… … .
“Are you okay?”
Melad is in poor health due to the aftereffects of a past injury. Not only is his resistance weaker than his realm, he can't even walk.
She agreed.
“To be honest, it’s not okay. Even the third-tier magic, <Flight>, is difficult to maintain. The balance has been disrupted due to the damage to the magic circuits in the lower body from the disappearance. If I were you, I wouldn’t even be able to brush past your collar.”

Basically, the fact that the wizard cannot maintain the distance from the opponent as desired is a very fatal factor. There are more than one or two disadvantages.
But the expression on Melad Tastyen’s face as he spoke was not dark at all. He relaxed, placed both hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and assumed a comfortable posture.
“That’s why I came up with my own method. And with the help of the two people next to me, I spent a long time thinking and researching before I finally completed it. I think you won’t be disappointed.”
Melad smiled faintly.
“I used to be able to do this too.”
Karindin Lerhar, the second strongest of the original members, who deeply burned Adrian's organs.
When Melad was fully recovered, he was one of the top three magicians in the world.
Melad slowly closes his eyes.
The magical power flowing from the heart raced through the circuit and overflowed outside.
Madou <Yeul>
What it means is the great waters of rest.
Bugle bugle.
Bubbles of water rose from the ground and began to envelop Melad. Like a slow-moving downpour that quickly grew into a torrential downpour, a thick curtain of water and steam enveloped her completely in an instant.
and.
Kkwadduk!
Something rose from the dehydrated, dried-out earth. It was skeletons, but they were not human.
It was an undead lich with a human skeleton made up of various bones that could be found in all kinds of demons, beasts, aliens, and subhumans.
'That entity is… … .'
Similar to Archlich, the highest-level undead that uses sixth-tier magic, served by Kaesilus, the fourth servant of the Glory of the Corpse.
Although the overall shape was similar, the detailed appearance, including the body being made of water, was very different.
Verden asked.
“Is this a variant of Arkrich?”
[As expected, your knowledge is extraordinary. You know about the Arch Lich, which even the Luas Church doesn't have many records of subjugation. That's right. To be exact, it's not a natural mutation, but an individual I created artificially.]
Arkrich answered.
On the other hand, Melad, who was submerged in water, was motionless as if he were asleep.
'The fragile body was protected by the cradle of water, and the body's consciousness was transferred to that Ark Lich, overcoming its physical defects.'
Melad Tastien.
The unique water magic she taught Ethan and Rebecca was of her own creation, but unlike them, her roots are not in the elemental realm.
After all, Melad is a 'black magician' who is a master of water magic.
[This body can be destroyed without any problems, so it won't be a problem.]
Ark Lich───Melad summoned her magical powers and formed a robe and staff. She regained her prime and took her stance.
Osgar took a few steps forward and stood at the head of the wise men.
“……Originally, I was both a war lord of the Arnak Empire and a sage of the Society. Just like the current Lord of the Magic Tower, Medrant. Well, eventually, as the Society grew in size, I ended up stepping down as Lord…… In fact, even if there had been no other reason, I would have definitely resigned.”
“Is it because of the legit?”
“Yes. I knew that the child who was the most promising candidate for Warlord despite being the youngest had tremendous potential. I was sure that he would surpass me in less than half of my life. That was why I was able to hand over the position without any regrets. Although his unique wandering spirit and curiosity did bother me a little, no, a lot.”
He stroked his beard.
“You said you knew him, so you must know how strong that kid is.
“To some extent.”
“In that sense, I will just say a few words.”
Damn.
The ground touched by Osgar's staff screamed and split apart.
“I was stronger than Regrit when I passed on the title of Warlord. And as she grew stronger over time, so did I. Of course, my growth curve was much slower.”
anyway.
“You’d better not look down on it.”
Hwaaaaaaaah!
The magical circuits of Osgar, Medrant, and Melad were filled with silence. They were controlling their magical power without any waste.
Verden, recalling the memory of facing three Imperial Lords and one Knight of the Oath at the Black Volcano, lightly rotated [Interis] in his hand.
“Let’s start.”
The bell rang to signal the start of war.
Three wise men approaching at the same time, moving in different directions.
Osgar, who had already been strengthened with magic, soared into the sky, strengthening his own mass and rushing towards Verden at incredible speed.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaap!”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The moment the two staffs collided with Osgar's shout, an earthquake struck the Rages Plateau.
* * *
The land, unable to withstand the shock waves that occur on the ground, erodes and uplifts.
In an instant, metallic sounds echoed from the ground that had changed from flat to rough terrain.
Kaaaaang! Kaaaaang! Kagagagagagak!
Osgar swung his staff, which he had infused with the utmost magical power, in a flashy manner. Occasionally, a magic that mixed gravity and flames weighed down and burned the area in all directions.
'As expected of a former war lord.'
The basics are similar to Legrit, but it uses its own unique fighting style. Its movements focus more on attack and counterattack than defense.
Berden, who had been responding by observing his movements, suddenly turned around.
Oh my god.
The lower part of the staff pierced Osgar's opening and struck him in the side.
Immediately after, [Interis], whose magical power was concentrated through <Arcane: Magic Fusion>, struck its body diagonally while glowing blue orbs.
Osgar barely managed to block it, but he wasn't able to completely offset the shock. So he had to react accordingly…
Oh my!
Osgar paid no attention and launched a fierce attack with all his might.
Faster and stronger as time goes by.
It's not an illusion, it's actually getting stronger by the minute.
“Is that your magic?”
“It’s called the magic sword of the decisive battle.”
Madou <Final Battle>
The moment this is opened, Osgar can magically accumulate the amount of shock inflicted on an opponent and the amount of physical damage taken, and then use this to strengthen his overall capabilities.
Until the match is decided.
'A simple but powerful magic army.'
It was at that moment that Verden, who had thought so, tried to suppress Osgar with force.
Kaang.
A curtain of magical power formed several layers and blocked the gap between Verden and Osgar. Judging from the fact that it didn't crack even after a single hit, it seemed to have considerable durability.
Verden cast his gaze to the side.
Medrant, who was standing in the distance, was seen aiming his staff.
'This is the Ostea Matapju that I've only heard of, Medrant Keden's… … .'
Madou <Seongyeon Castle Chain>
Medrant, who possesses the unique trait of having extremely strong magical powers, uses basic magic to create his own pure magic.
His defensive magic is famous even in the magical world.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
Countless water droplets poured down from behind and burst into the air. They exploded in a chain reaction, forming a torrent.
<Public Wave>
Verden, who scattered the flow of water with the shock wave of space, gradually raised the level.
Having experienced a magical battle with Dahit, his power is quite good, even though it is different from before.
The wise man of power attacks.
The wise man of wisdom provides assistance.
The guardian sage defends.
The cooperation of the three wise men, who did not deviate from their respective roles, was not one added to one. It was harmonious, as two became four, and four became eight.
As we spend time together, we understand each other's abilities.
'If we only consider magical connections, they are much sharper than the Lords of the Empire.'
If it was Verden before he transcended, it would have been quite a challenge to deal with.
Kaang!
Osgar, who had struck Verden's staff, opened his mouth while wrestling with him.
“As you know, to create and maintain an organization, you need a center. The Society here, the Black Hour, your forces. They all have different goals. So you need a focal point that can unite them. A strong force.”
“…….”
“Show me your transcendence without holding back.”
Osgar demands that he truly demonstrate the realm of transcendence.
“If you want.”
Magic <Destruction>
As Verden opened the second magic gate, the blue magic transformed into a crimson color. Intense and eerie waves resonated.
and.
<Hyeonrae – Gyeongcheon>
[Interis], bearing the lightning of destruction, rushes in. In an instant, it shatters Medrant's magical barrier and approaches Osgar.
“Huh? Wait a minute.”
Wasn't this the magic that dealt with Yunia and Cain before?
A flustered Osgar asked for a brief pause, but it was already too late.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
Osgar, who had been thrown out with a thunderous roar, pierced through the hills of the plateau.
