Episode 151: Overwhelming Talent
“Ah, this side is almost finished.”
Kane said, shaking his hand. Beneath it was a red magic circle. It was a magic circle drawn with the blood of the demons.
It wasn’t just a simple magic circle. It was because Cain, who drew it, was not an ordinary magician, but a designer.
This was an art.
“me too.”
His colleague raised his hand and said.
“Okay, let’s wrap this up. It’s the biggest one.”
The two of them simultaneously poured out the magic stones they had brought. This was a magic circle that their master, Yeong-gang, had specially designed.
Of course, inspiration may not be acknowledged as a teacher.
The completed magic circle disappeared down in an instant. The two were both amazed at the same time.
“A moving magic circle? How fascinating.”
“Would that picky old man’s eyes have turned around for no reason?”
Kane answered, sipping his water bottle. His companion gave a long stretch.
“That’s true. But how long have you been here? I can’t even feel it.”
“That’s right. I even gave up counting magic circles. Why do you need so many magic circles?”
“Hmm, did the Imperial Army come up?”
“Aren’t you curious? Who would have invested this much?”
His colleague slyly suggested something. Kane winked.
“We are designers. Coming out is taboo.”
Kane said with a hardened face. His colleague raised an eyebrow at him.
“Just a quick look. Who said we should go out and fight? And if you’re a designer, you should check that the design is accurate.”
As Kane let out a sigh, his colleague quickly continued.
“This is the largest design we’ve ever undertaken, so shouldn’t we know who we’re dealing with? We can brag about it at drinking parties for the rest of our lives.”
“······Isn’t this causing trouble for no reason?”
Kane glanced upwards.
“They’re too busy trying to persuade the wizards anyway.”
“Yeah, just looking around.”
To be honest, Kane nodded quickly because he was curious about his opponent.
The two moved as carefully and secretly as possible.
“Oh, it’s over there.”
I saw a man in the distance.
He was a tall man wearing a coat made of beast skin.
On his left waist, a lamp dangled, emitting a gray flame, and in his hand he held a golden staff. Alone in the snowy mountains, he had a mysterious aura like that of a monk.
“You look good. Did you work hard to install it?”
“Yes, I definitely did.”
The two giggled lightly.
At that moment, the man slowly raised his head.
But that direction-.
“······Did we look at that?”
“Hey, I guess I saw it wrong.”
Kane shook his head.
The man walked lightly.
“Oh- it’s coming in.”
“He just came in there. How stupid.”
How could you come into a place full of magic circles so defenseless?
“I stepped on it.”
“It’s the end.”
Kane squinted his eyes at the feeling that it was spicier than he had expected.
Even if he was an imperial knight, it would be difficult to avoid being stepped on like that.
Sticky fire rose from the magic circle. It was slow, but its power was certain. Above all, the connection was-.
“Um, why did it disappear?”
“That’s right. It definitely started.”
The two looked at each other at the same time. Soon, Kane muttered a curse under his breath.
“Aren’t you installing it properly?”
“I did it right. Aren’t you just a bad person?”
“Is he a bad person? Well, being a bad person is a chronic disease.”
They both nodded at the same time.
“Oh, I stepped on it again.”
“This time it’s a piercing fire. It’s the end.”
The fire was fired at a faster rate than before. It was a concentrated fire arrow.
This time for sure-.
“······It disappeared again?”
Kane couldn’t answer. There was no way the bad guys could happen twice in a row.
That was a magic circle set up by Cain. There was no way he could have made a mistake.
At that moment, the man took another step forward. The magic circle emitted light and-.

Suddenly disappeared.
“Something… something is strange.”
“excuse me-.”
My colleague pointed somewhere.
There was an ice pick stuck in the magic circle. It was the core part, to be exact. That means-.
“······You’re saying that it’s not a bad thing, but that you destroyed the core of the magic circle? But the core of the magic circle needs to be activated to appear?”
“Is that guy’s magic faster than the magic circle that’s been set up right now?”
The two just asked each other questions without answering.
It had to be that way.
Because it was such an absurd sight.
At that moment, the man took a step forward. The magic circle subsided again.
“······It’s faster than before.”
Kane swallowed dryly at his colleague’s vain muttering.
The man’s reaction was getting faster and faster.
More and more-.
Tak. Now, as soon as the magic circle glowed, it disappeared.
A deep sense of helplessness filled them.
“Let’s go.”
The colleague whispered softly, as if he was worried that the man in the distance might hear him.
I almost nodded for a moment, but I barely held myself back.
It was designer Kane. This place was filled with magic circles that had been prepared for a long time. I couldn’t back out like this.
“No, there’s still some left.”
Kane looked behind him hastily. The magic circle he had spent the most time on was moving slowly.
This was designed by the inspiration itself.
The colleague who saw him nodded with a reluctant face.
Soon a desperate trap was set up in front of the man.
The man’s steps stopped for the first time.
‘Did you notice?’
It was an inspirational design. Even if the magic tower comes, you won’t notice.
The man sat quietly smoking a cigarette.
The man lit up by the fire at the beginning of the year-.
‘Are you laughing?’
That was a very deep laugh too.
As if something fun was about to happen-.
An indescribable chill came over me.
The man took a step forward without hesitation.
The magic circle didn’t activate right away. It waited until the man got deep inside, like a tight trap.
As the man passed through the middle, the magic circle jumped wildly. Flames appeared sequentially. All kinds of fire poured down along the border.
‘This is the end!’
The magic circle, with its elaborate design of inspiration, was ingeniously layered. It was quadruple-secured to prevent anyone from identifying its core.
It was an art that went beyond magic.
at that time-.
Bang, an ice pick pierced the core right through.
That was the beginning. The flames engulfed the man, but he calmly snapped his fingers.
Knock, knock, knock-.
The magic circle lost its light.
The man lightly brushed away the fire on his coat as if nothing had happened.
‘Wh······what.’
I couldn’t understand.
This was an inspirational design. If you didn’t know the inspirational design, you couldn’t have destroyed it so quickly.
“······f*ck. I said just get out of here.”
Kane gulped at the sound of his colleague’s sobbing voice.
Come out now-.
At that moment, the man pointed at Kane with a golden staff.
When I faced him, I couldn’t run away.
Because it was a complete defeat.
The man approached leisurely, shaking off the cigarette.
The man standing in front of the two-.
“Is it the end?”
He asked with a voice full of regret.
Only then did Kane realize.
That the madness of stepping on a trap and destroying it was just a game to the man.
“Yeah, it was fun. Especially adding security to the magic circle was almost an art.”
The man praised her calmly.
Criticizing his own designs. Normally, he would have been angry, but now he just listened quietly.
“But the nuclear part is disappointing. The location of the nuclear core is fixed for each ship. But it’s still the magic circle’s weakness, so isn’t it too defenseless?”
Kane held back his rage at the man’s question.
The core of the magic circle was revealed when the magic circle was activated. Because it was the center of the magic circle. Knowing that, the location of the core was not changed-.
‘I didn’t know there would be a crazy guy who would deliberately step on a magic circle to find out the location of the nuke!’
The hunter put his hand in and took it out, admiring the new trap.
How could you possibly expect such a crazy person to exist?
At that moment, the man pushed back his bangs.
“Okay, where is the old man?”
He asked rudely.
‘Do you know inspiration?’
Their eyes widened at the same time.
*
“The inspiration is somewhere else! We are the inspiration’s beloved disciples! The beloved disciples!”
“That’s right! I’m a total fan!”
Two men lay face down and begged.
‘Because you’re old.’
Galahad quietly shook off the tobacco.
I had previously found traces of the old man at the Black Magic Society branch. I had expected the old man to be in the North, but-.
“Did the old man join the dawn?”
“No! It’s outsourcing! Outsourcing!”
“Yes! Outsourcing!!”
Galahad frowned.
‘I thought you were retiring.’
That was the reason why Galahad did not bother to seek out the old man.
‘Retirement is difficult, after all.’
Galahad clicked his tongue and quietly dusted off the tobacco.
Considering the old man’s personality, he probably wouldn’t have entered the dawn. He’s a grumpy old man who would rather die than go back on his words.
The question is why did you outsource it?
‘Looks like Dawn showed me something interesting.’
You could tell just by looking at the situation right now. A moving magic circle? The old man was sure to go crazy.
“So, how did the magic circle move?”
“Oh, that was done by the dawn!”
It was the expected answer. I asked him more, but the two of them just moved their mouths. They seemed to know nothing.
‘Move the magic circle-.’
Galahad felt a deep interest.
The biggest drawback of the magic circle was that it was fixed. The wand and the spellbook were derived from it. However, neither of them could completely replace the magic circle.
How did you move that magic circle?
“Ah, you used the blood of the demon tribe.”
“······yes?”
“You carved the magic circle with the blood of the demon tribe, right? That demon tribe’s blood was given by the dawn.”
“Uh… How did you know? Did you hear it from your father?”
Galahad continued speaking, lightly ignoring it.
“The demons form a colony. It’s possible that they have the power to influence the blood of the colony. However, it’s amazing that they thought of using that as a magic circle.”
Galahad was truly amazed.
It was a very ingenious way of utilizing the rulers, unlike the rulers who just pushed their subordinates around in groups.
“But it seems like you can’t detonate the magic circle on your own. It would be more effective to gather them around and detonate them all at once.”
Galahad watched the two nodding repeatedly as he shook off the cigarette.
“It seems like there is no way for you to report. There is also a separate way to check through the magic circle.”
It was a very interesting power and way to use it.
The key was the organic relationship of the magic circle. It was a demon tribe that used their heads quite well.
together-.
“The monk’s uniform is also neat.”
Galahad looked back. The special forces were running towards him.
Adrianna’s steps were cautious as she wore her stupid helmet. This was because Galahad had asked her to hide her identity.
If Adrianna touched the magic circle and her identity was revealed, she could have fled from Dawn.
“Are these guys?”
Gilbutton aimed his sword at the fallen men. The two trembled at the vivid aura.
“These guys are subcontractors. Where are you miners?”
“······Yes? A miner?”
“Oh, you mean the wizards with pickaxes?”
“that······.”
They both turned their heads at the same time. Their faces turned pale as they looked back.
“Look what’s over there.”
The two kept their mouths shut. When Galahad tried to persuade him-.
“These things don’t answer?!”
“Ahh!”
Gilbert struck the men in the head with the hilt of his sword. The one hit fell to the ground. Then the other man opened his mouth in a panic.
“I’m coming from the dawn side. However, it’s probably already too late.”
The remaining one desperately squeezed out information.
“late?”
“Yes. Any wizard who comes into contact with Dawn has no choice but to pass······.”
Galahad frowned at the man who trailed off.
“Why?”
“The dawn is the age of magic······.”
For a moment, the bastard’s mouth twisted. His eyes rolled back.
‘Golden Army.’
They were truly sophisticated men. Without hesitation, Galahad grabbed their heads and poured mana into them.
“Tell me the goal of dawn.”
“The goal of dawn is······”
The bastard’s mouth was twisted. The intensity of the gold was strong.
However, it was Galahad who had a heightened level of mental interference.
“That’s interesting.”
Galahad twisted the corners of his mouth.
The bastard’s expression changed from moment to moment. Soon his mouth opened and-.
“It’s a new age of magic.”
A very interesting statement came out.
‘It’s a new age of magic.’
Galahad muttered, shaking his hands.
“······Did you forcibly remove the engraved gold seal?”
The man who had been knocked down by Gilbert asked in a voice full of shock.
“The engraved gold is powerful, but it is ultimately a mental interference. It can be lifted.”
“But then my brain would melt-. I’m fine!”
He admired the man again as he touched him as he fell. His eyes sparkled so brightly.
“You can block the brain with mental interference and simultaneously lift the ban. Of course, it’s a bit tricky.”
“Then, if I’m even slightly off track, my head will explode?”
“It’s okay. It’s not mine.”
The bastard’s face was squinty.
“Leader.”
At that moment, Gilbert called out in a deep voice. The voice was quite serious.
When I turned my head to him, I saw Gilbutton with a serious face. Gilbutton hesitated in an uncharacteristic manner. Then he chewed his lips and-.
“Are you going to Yeomyeong?”
He was talking nonsense.
The problem wasn’t just Gilbutton.
Dalgrak.
Galahad squinted his eyes at the stupid helmet that was staring at him.
“I’m going to dawn-. What does that mean?”
“No, Captain, wouldn’t you turn a blind eye to magic? But this is the new age of magic-.”
“Your eyes are rolling back. I just know the charm of magic.”
“Are you sure it won’t go through?”
Galahad frowned at Gilbert’s serious question.
Drumroll. Drumroll. The stupid helmet kept shaking.
“What on earth do you think I am? Do you think I’ll give in to Dawn’s goal of opening a new era of magic?”
Gilverton was genuinely relieved by Galahad’s sharp words.
“The Dawn is clearly a group of demons. No matter how much they value magic, they have no interest in the new era opened by the demons. I should open it.”
Gilverton, who had been laughing at Galahad’s tongue-clicking, became serious again at the content.
therefore-.
“Are you saying that the captain himself creates the dawn?”
Galahad’s eyes were wide.
“Be quiet, Sir Gilbert. I’m done with the stupid motion sickness today.”
Galahad turned his head and looked behind him.
A little further on from here was the mine.
‘A new age of magic? – Any other wizard would pass.’
It was a time when miners were scarce. If we move on to dawn from here-.
‘It’s getting annoying.’
Galahad clicked his tongue and wiggled his fingers.
****
“A new age of magic-.”
Exclamations of admiration erupted from all sides. Joy appeared on the wizards’ faces.
How they had been treated in the North. So, it was inevitable that they would be tempted to open a new era with magic.
Even the center of it-.
“You are a magician. Now everything begins and ends with magic. There will be no more persecution.”
The wizards were once again shaken by the plain explanation.
It was like a dream to them, whose hands were covered in blisters from holding a pickaxe so much.
I had no choice but to move on. No, of course I had to move on.
at that time-.
“for a moment!”
Someone raised their hand.
He was the fat guy who first followed the demon’s suggestion.
“Then, will you also hand over the achievements you have accumulated at the Noon Tower?”
Performance? The demon squinted his eyes at the strange question.
“What achievements?”
“I had the best performance this month, but is it preserved?”
“There is something called performance in the Noon Tower. Based on that, you are ranked and promoted.”
The demon tilted his head at the other wizard’s explanation.
“Why should we do that? Why not just share it all?”
The wizards cheered quietly.
However, the expression on the face of the person who asked the question became even more distorted.
“No! Are my achievements preserved?”
“Stupid human, in this new era, achievements are not needed.”
“Then what is the difference?”
“Why should there be a difference?”
“If everyone is a wizard, there has to be discrimination!”
The demon rolled his eyes.
“The one suitable for mana will go up.”
“That’s not fair!!”
“······Unfair?”
The demons couldn’t understand.
What’s so unfair about treating Mana according to her talents?
“It’s not like those with talent in Mana will get promoted! What about those without talent!”
“If it’s useless, it should become fuel.”
The magicians were momentarily shaken by the demon’s words. The demon squinted his eyes.
“Isn’t this the equality you’ve been wanting?”
“at all!”
The demon squinted at the confident man. The man raised his pickaxe high.
“Here, even if you’re a madman, you can still get promoted if you work hard! But you’re dividing it by talent?! No, in the first place, would a talented person be working here as a madman? They’re here because their talent is trash! What the hell!”
At the man’s angry voice, the wizards who had been excited until just now crumpled their faces.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
“When the new age of magic comes, we’ll become serfs! Because we have no talent! Boohoo!”
The arrogant man continued speaking. Even the magicians responded.
The demon’s eyes were wide open.
“So you want to be treated well regardless of your talent?”
To the question of the demon tribe-.
“That’s right! Guaranteed success without effort!”
Corton shouted proudly.
