Episode 18
EPISODE.09
“Huh. Huh.”
Russell was breathing heavily and shaking his shoulders.
A cold chill moved in and out of my throat, and each time it felt like my lungs were going to be torn apart.
Sweat flowing down was also a problem.
Even though I rolled around on the floor and sweated so much that my robe got soaked, my body didn’t get warm at all.
On the contrary, the flowing cold air and sweat combined to take away the heat from the body.
“f*ck you.”
In it, Russell swore in an uncharacteristic way.
A piece of the swear words I learned from them while working as a mercenary.
The fragments of two shattered golems were lying around him.
If there’s a problem… … .
‘The number of things left behind is several times greater than what was taken down.’
Now I’ve only defeated two.
There were still eight left. In comparison, the amount of magical power dropped considerably, barely more than half.
‘In this state, even if you pour out all your mana, the limit is to destroy about three more units.’
In the end, I had to find another way.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
Meanwhile, Russell gritted his teeth as he looked at the golem approaching him at a slow pace.
“Dog things.”
The pace is still slow, but they don’t get tired.
Unlike him, he could not help but tire as he continued to consume stamina and magical power.
A moment that cannot be avoided just because it is slow will also come someday.
‘In the end, it’s a battle of whether I get tired first, or whether I destroy them all before that.’
It can’t go on like this.
If you can only use fire magic and have to deal with an ice golem…
‘Of course, it would be better to pierce it with firepower using high output… … .’
It was easier said than done.
I had to find a magic that was more powerful than Fire Arrow and could be more efficient than Fire Bolt.
‘There is nothing like that among the magic I can use right now.’
4 circles… … No, I think I could pierce them in one blow with 5th circle magic.
‘Power and high output… … .’
Pabababat-!
Russell once again used the strength of his Wizard Body’s legs to cross the crowd and violently rolled his head.
‘What I can do now.’
Increasing the power of magic of circle 3 or lower by adding a few spells to it.
But if that doesn’t work… … .
As his concentration is compressed without resting like a single dot, time surrounding Russell begins to pass slowly.
Meanwhile, Russell cast a spell as if possessed by something.
Let’s start with Fire Arrow.
Grumble!
A long arrow of flame appeared, and amplification magic was added to it.
The size was called.
After adding a few more formulas, the magic changes into a shape closer to a spear rather than an arrow.
‘Fire Spear, the 4th circle magic… … If you expand it in an abbreviated manner at the 3-circle level, it will look like this.’
Having already experimented, I know that this is not enough.
Ugh-.
As magical power flowed out, some of the Fire Bolt formula was once again overlaid on top of it.
“Tsk-!”
For a moment, I felt dizzy and my nose was bleeding, but I didn’t care.
In return, we succeeded in increasing the number of minor versions of Fire Spears to five.
‘Zip here again!’
All over the place.
Running around without stopping to avoid the golems, Russell collected five flame spears with one hand.
Kwaaaaaa-!
The firepower and magical power that seemed to have exploded ran wild in my grasp.
Even though it was the magic he unleashed, the output seemed like he was going to get used to my grasp.
The uncontrolled fire raged wildly.
Grumble!
Russell’s hair was scorched by the flames, releasing a foul smell, and boom!
In the nick of time, the ice golem’s fist landed right next to Russell.
Kwakwagwa!
Russell’s body bounces and stumbles due to the erupting shock wave.
Nevertheless, Russell did not let go of the magic in his hands.
I tried to compress it.
‘I’ve already failed several times, but this is the only way.’
This is the best you can do within your current magical limitations.

Russell’s judgment was shouting so.
‘please!’
Russell used all his strength to spin three circles.
I raised all the magical power I had.
To control the unprecedented, unnamed magic that is running rampant in your hands!
Dozens or hundreds of magic formulas flashed in my mind.
Russell calculated, adding and subtracting them at incredible speed.
The nosebleed that had only occurred on one side is pouring out on both sides.
It drips down wetly, soaking the front of the robe.
Nevertheless, Russell’s eyes were completely focused on the magic in his hands.
Boom, boom, boom!
Avoiding the golems’ attacks also relies on instinct.
A literally terrifying level of concentration.
Russell shouted, staring at the magic that seemed ready to explode at any moment, in a precarious situation that felt like walking on a tightrope.
“Combined… … !!”
Faster than that, a bright amber light exploded along Russell’s eyes.
As if responding to that, wow!
The huge horn hanging above the altar scatters red light.
Because I was concentrating on magic, I couldn’t see Russell, but some of the red light that flowed out enveloped Russell.
A terrifying roar exploded from his mouth.
[Merge-!!!!!]
A cry that goes far beyond the status of the human race itself.
An absolute command of will toward magic.
A huge amount of magical power was drained from the circle to do him.
Afterwards, an overwhelming amount of light covered the entire area, as if a star had exploded.
———–!
And finally.
When the light that filled the hall faded.
In Russell’s hand was a grand spear of a type he had never seen before.
[Your understanding of flame properties has greatly grown beyond its limits.]
[Intermediate level fire attribute understanding increases significantly.]
Grumbling-.
A heat that instantly raises the temperature around you just by existing.
The heat melted the ice covering the floor.
Russell laughed as he looked at the red flame spear in his hand.
“ha ha ha… … .”
Laughing without the slightest awareness of what he had just done.
“ha ha ha… … .”
I knew it the moment I saw it.
The power of this spear in my hand is definitely not at the 3rd circle level.
‘Even if you take it as a minimum, it’s 5 circles.’
Wouldn’t Blaze Burn be able to show this level of firepower?
That’s what I think. But-.
‘I can’t do it twice.’
Just creating one consumed a huge amount of mana.
I can clearly see how to make it in my head, but the second time is difficult.
‘At least in this fight.’
Therefore, it makes no sense to throw this and destroy the golem. It was something I didn’t think about.
‘then… … .’
The only way to fight is to grab it in your hand and swing it like a spear.
After making his decision, Russell lightly waved the flame in his hand.
“Come at me.”
He then said, waving his index finger at the golems.
“Now is the second game. “You f*cking things.”
Russell’s first original magic.
This was the moment when Blaze Lance was first born.
* * *
After a while.
Grumbling-.
Russell wiped his sweat as he stabbed the blaze lance into the chest of the last remaining golem.
“after.”
As expected, the power of the Blaze Lance was overwhelming.
The guys who didn’t collapse even after dozens of fire bolts were hit, melted and shattered so easily.
Nevertheless, the reason the fight was difficult was probably not simply because they were physically or magically exhausted.
‘Of course, just holding the Blaze Lance consumes a lot of mana, but-.’
The fundamental problem was Russell’s fighting style itself.
It is said that he learned various weapons and fighting techniques while working as a mercenary, but at best he only got a taste of them.
It was a bit difficult to deal with them using a spear that I had not formally learned.
“Where should I find a textbook on close combat techniques and learn how to do it?”
I don’t think that would be bad either.
You will be able to take advantage of the strengths of Wizard Body and Overlord that you have gained.
While he was mumbling like that, the blaze lance dug into the golem’s chest and shattered its core.
Patter, patter.
thud!
With the sound of a marble breaking, the golem with its core shattered collapsed.
A notification sound was heard.
[You have completed the mission. Compensation will be paid.]
[Level Magic Stone (edible) x2 and lowest grade Magic Stone (edible) x3 are provided as compensation.]
The message continues.
[‘???’ will be paid as compensation.]
[Horn of the Forgotten King (Purification of Fire)]
That moment.
Clap, clap, clap.
A clanging sound was heard from above the altar. It was the sound of the chains hanging from the giant horn being loosened.
Wow!
Soon, a horn engulfed in flames appeared from nowhere and approached Russell.
“Horn of the Forgotten King?”
Not the fire dragon’s horn?
Before he even tilted his head, the heat surrounding the horn enveloped Russell’s entire body.
Grumble!
As if that wasn’t enough, it flowed into Russell’s body.
A heat that feels like your body is going to be cooked inside. Russell let out a hot breath in the heat.
“Bwa-!”
It was mana. It is also a very pure yet high-density mana with the attribute of fire.
‘What is this…? … !’
They give me something like this as a reward.
Without even having time to curse, Russell quickly activated Wizard Madi and Overlord.
‘If I stay like this, I’ll die.’
I had to use two magics to neutralize the magic as much as possible and accept it into my body.
However, despite hastily prepared measures, the heat is beyond imagination.
The heat and pain were not something Russell, who was physically and magically exhausted, could endure.
“Tsk-!”
Russell’s body collapses on the spot with a groan.
dump.
After that, the red mana flowing from the horn continued to flow towards Russell.
As a result, the size of the horn gradually became smaller.
Tsutsutsutsu.
It seemed as if the horn itself had become magical power and was being absorbed by Russell.
.
.
And how much time has passed?
Finally, after the horn completely disappeared and all the magic flowed into Russell.
A huge dragon shape appeared, filling the entire cavity.
A dragon of light whose entire body is covered in scales and has several horns.
The dragon shape that appeared like that stared at Russell for a moment, and then.
Hwarak-.
It disappears as suddenly as when it first appeared.
As if to fill the empty space, green message windows appeared one after another.
[You have absorbed the Forgotten King’s Horn (Purification of Fire) to the limit.]
[Magic power that surpasses the limit of absorption is contained within potential.]
[This potential will awaken at any moment and become a great strength to you.]
[Intermediate level fire attribute understanding increases significantly.]
[Intermediate fire property understanding reaches its limit and changes to advanced fire property understanding.]
Several messages appear and are pushed out quickly, piled up in one corner.
Nevertheless, Russell.
Without even knowing what change had occurred, he was just sleeping on his stomach, as if he had collapsed on the floor of the common.
