Genius Gamer, Reincarnated into a Heroic Family Episode 122
Descendants of the Warrior (2)
……Meanwhile.
Harang ignored what was happening downstairs and followed the two eight-star magicians to the 101st floor.
The 101st floor was an extremely large space. It was almost as if this floor was three other floors combined.
Judging from the red lights flashing here and there, the dark atmosphere, and the incantations carved into the walls, it was assumed to be a ‘safe room’ used to store extremely important items.
‘This entire large floor is a vault.’
How many important items are stored there? If the 101st floor is taken over, the five great magic families will suffer enormous losses beyond just losing face.
‘Here… … is the thing.’
That’s right.
Because while I was holding the academic conference on the 99th floor, I was so absorbed in the scent of blood and the aura that ‘Estelle’ gave off that I almost went crazy.
Even though it was supposed to be magically blocked, Estelle’s aura was warm and strong enough to reach across the two-story street… … .
“!”
Harang, who was carefully examining the 101st floor, felt goosebumps run through her entire body and hurriedly jumped to the side.
Tukwakwakwak!!
“Ugh?!”
The air exploded, and the ground where Harang had just been standing was completely destroyed. The floor of the vault was coated with a special metal, so even a slight impact wouldn’t even scratch it, but the floor was completely torn apart…
He quickly opened the subspace, put on the lightweight armor that he added to his clothes, including shoulder armor, and even summoned [Alter Armor] on his left hand.
Then he hid behind a square safe the size of a house and looked up at the sky.
Shatter-!! The air shattered like glass, fragments flew out, and a black shadow jumped out between them.
“Hey, Alaize!”
As the wizard Zyrel shouted and waved his staff wildly, silver butterflies flew out from all directions and landed on the shadow.
Although Aleiz was able to change his form freely, he was unable to do so even while attached to a butterfly, and was hit by Bayaran’s subsequent explosion magic.
Kwaang!!
The explosion was so huge that it felt like a small sun had appeared on the ceiling! Harang was honestly terrified. If he were hit by an explosion like that, he would be completely obliterated without even a single bone left behind.
‘That’s… … 8-star magic?’
Even Aleiz, who maintained the form of a shadow, suffered great damage from the explosion and was torn into pieces and scattered here and there, but eventually came back together and stuck to the wall.
“That bastard’s recovery is slower than before! Keep using explosion magic!”
“Damn it, Chairman. The magical power drain is so severe that I can’t use it much! If I could just hold onto the entity for a long time, I could finish it off in one go!”
“That’s easier said than done! I’ll try my best, but don’t hold back on your magic power! If you don’t, you might really get hurt! You can never let your guard down against him!”
Judging from the conversation between the two magicians, the fight with Aleiz didn’t seem to be an easy one.
‘If they lose, it’s all over.’
The entire Spire of Radiance will be completely destroyed, not to mention the people on the lower floors.
‘… … I can’t ignore it.’
If you are a cold-blooded clan, Kaladan might be happy to see the talents of the magical community, who are considered a thorn in his side, disappear and leave them alone.
Harang also had a bracelet that could return to the Flower Tower with the Guardian’s power, regardless of the spatial barrier.
‘That’s an old-fashioned Kaladan.’
The Kaladan he wanted was the beginning.
Long ago, a man suddenly stood at the forefront of humanity, fighting against demons with only a sword in his hand for no price… … .
Although he has no altruism, no consideration, and no particular fondness for good deeds, Harang would benchmark even the pure good deeds of a warrior if only he could become the world’s greatest swordsman like Kaladan.
‘Can I… … help you?’
If a 4-star Harang gets involved in an 8-star fight, it’s like a shrimp getting its back broken in a fight between whales.
If I were to use proverbs, I would elevate my status from a shrimp to a goose, but if I were to do something like that in the Spire of Radiance, which is the heart of the magical world, the repercussions would be even more fearful.
What was even more problematic was that there was no guarantee that using verbs would change the situation.
Have to think about it.
Of all the tactical weapons I have, is there anything that could help me fight those monsters?
At that moment, two stars twinkled in Harang’s eyes and a message appeared before his eyes.
[I advise you to use the Morning Star, the staff ‘Mitiel’ and the magic ‘Mythical Descent’.]
“oh……?”
Sometimes, Saetbyeol-an would give me advice like this, and I remember that it was always good advice that was perfect for the situation, so it always ended up with good results.
‘The advent of a myth… … .’
He raised his starlight and looked at Aleiz. In exchange for making a contract with the Guardian and becoming a shadow, he lost his physical body and gained the powerful ability to freely merge with any shadow and move.
Of course, its weakness is light, but there’s no way the magicians wouldn’t know that.
‘Can’t it be done with ordinary light?’
Light attribute magic doesn’t really have much of a special feature, so it was rare to find someone who could learn it.
Because compared to the fire attribute, its wide-range destructive power is not high, its range is narrow, and its magic cost-effectiveness is not good.
The light attribute has two advantages.
It was useful when you needed to deal a big blow to a very narrow range, and it was effective against those with the dark attribute.
Even light magic that you don’t normally use is usable now, but there must be a reason why you don’t.
‘… … Ah, I see.’
He looked around.
This place was filled with darkness, and there were so many places where shadows could be cast. The special metal safes, each of different sizes, would cast shadows as they pleased.
If the disadvantage of the light series is its range… … I would have thought that a magic like Explosion, which has great destructive power and can temporarily erase darkness by emitting light, would be better.
‘… … If that’s the case, there is a way.’
The 8-star magicians were unable to use light magic because they could not devote even a single moment of mana and mental power to other magic, but Harang was able to do so.
A magic that can cover the entire space and even erase shadows.
He lifted up Mitiel.
This staff had not yet released its power, so it had no special effects or anything, but it had one peculiarity.

That’s right, when you use [Myth Descent] created by Natalen, it has tremendous power!
It wasn’t without risk. As the power increased, it would absorb an enormous amount of magical power, several times more than before.
Blame! Harang jumped to the highest vault and landed, got down on one knee, hugged Mitiel, and bowed his head.
‘System protection… …to the limit.’
Ugh! The world felt so far away, like it was reflected in a concave mirror.
But his senses became sharper, and the mana flowing through his skin became tangible.
Wooooow… … !!
A light golden magic circle appeared beneath Harang’s feet and began to spin around.
Even mediocre magic won’t be able to do much to bother Aleiz.
We had to prepare the most powerful output possible.
‘Like when we did triple casting the other day… … I think I’ll just take a short nap.’
Pit! The nose started to spurt out and red liquid started to drip, but Harang just crumpled up her expression and suppressed the pain as much as possible.
“No, that kid?!”
“Why is a student here… … .”
“Now is not the time to worry about that!”
“No, look carefully! The magic that child is preparing is of the ‘Summon Light’ type!”
“Summon Light? Not just a light series, but a light summon series… …?”
Summoning light.
Where will you do it?
That’s right, it’s the sun.
This place had no windows, so no sunlight at all. It was a place that was like heaven to Aleiz, but what if he could somehow bring in some sunlight?
“… … there is a chance of winning.”
Realizing that fact, Zyrell shouted as if there was no more delay.
“I will tie him up! Wizard Bayaran! Prepare something as powerful as possible!”
“I will gather all my magic power.”
In fact, even while making this judgment, Zyrell doubted whether it was right.
I invested all my mana to prepare the magic, but if that boy doesn’t help, all of Bayaran’s magic will be depleted and the fight will end in defeat.
‘But, right now, there’s no other way to win!’
In this space covered in darkness, I felt like I needed to borrow a cat’s paw to defeat Aleiz.
Chorrrrrr!!
A huge iron chain shot out of the air and grabbed Aleize’s body as it moved along the wall. This magic, called ‘Binding of Truth’, was designed to materialize and bind even the most incorporeal beings, but Aleize used Shadow Teleportation to move to another location in just a few seconds.
‘this!’
The place the shadow moved to was none other than where the boy was! Zyrell panicked and tried to protect the child by casting magic, but there was no need to do so.
Shhh! The shadow blade swept over the boy, but he jumped high into the air as if he had stepped on a water spigot!
If I were to do it my way, I would be in danger of being hit by Aleiz’s attack again when I land on the ground, but before that, Zyrell’s giant chain covers the entire ground!
“As expected of ‘Del Piele’, who only hunts the weak, he is incredibly petty!”
A small gap created by Zyrel.
That small gap was more than enough to complete Harang’s magic.
Flash! Zyrell let out an exclamation of admiration as a golden glow burst from Harang’s staff floating in the air.
‘no……!’
If it were a normal wizard, he would lose concentration and the magic circle would scatter the moment he floated into the air, but instead, he completed it!
[3rd type of divine punishment]
Bing-geur-geur, the magic circle rotated and stuck to the ceiling, then inflated itself to a huge size.
If you do this, the power will be greatly reduced and you won’t be able to deal any damage to Aleiz… … .
[Oath, Mandate of Light]
It would be possible to spread sunlight throughout this space!
Flash!!
‘Oh, oh!’
For a moment, Zyrell was amazed by the terrifying sight that was hard to believe was performed by a young student, but he clasped his hands together and concentrated his mana.
“Ugh!!”
Aleize, exposed to sunlight, for a very short time, that is, less than a second… … .
In a split second, he completely lost his form, and Zyren succeeded in achieving complete ‘materialization’ by binding Aleize in chains.
“Now is the time, Bayaran!”
Bayaran answered with magic.
A miniature sun that was burning so brightly that even Harang, who had superhuman eyesight, found it burdensome to look at it with his naked eyes, far surpassing the explosion he had previously unleashed, was completed, and it hit Aleiz directly.
… … Thud!
Immediately afterwards, a pure white lightning engulfed the entire warehouse, and Harang closed his eyes. He managed to hide himself in the back of the warehouse, but the flimsy safe had all melted down, so he couldn’t use it as a shield.
“Ugh…!”
Harang, who had spread his shield as far as possible, tried to open his eyes and grasp the situation.
-Kuaaaah!!
Aleize, who had been hit directly by the explosion, was unable to properly maintain his shadow shape and became a long, stretched-out shadow, screaming. Now, his human form was barely visible… … .
I could tell intuitively.
That I won.
however.
Why am I so anxious?
‘… … !’
Even though the noise was blocked by the artificial sun and nothing could be heard, Harang saw clearly.
At first glance, Aleize, who had transformed into a face, was shouting something… … .
It was instinct.
The reason I quickly squeezed my leg muscles and jumped was simply an action based on instinct.
But there was one thing he overlooked: his entire body was already exhausted from having just been forcibly using four-star magic.
His leap ended in a miserable crash, and he barely managed to fly before stopping mid-air.
‘ah…….’
So, it stopped in mid-air.
It wasn’t a magical phenomenon.
Harang slowly lowered his head and clenched his teeth.
Thump!
“Coolook… … !”
Blood flowed out of his mouth. Thousands and tens of thousands of shadow thorns rose from the floor of the vault. Harang, who was stabbed by three of them, clenched his teeth in pain that burned his head.
The abdomen, right waist, and left shoulder were pierced precisely.
If he hadn’t made that instinctive move, his entire body would have been torn apart, leaving no trace.
Harang, who had difficulty turning her head, was speechless at the sight of the tragedy unfolding inside the vault.
When Aleize exploded at the last moment, his body was torn apart and the entire vault was covered in shadow thorns!
“damn……!”
Zyrell and Bayaran were also hanging in the air, groaning in pain, as if they had been hit by the shadow explosion at the last moment. Their condition seemed even more serious than Harang’s.
Unlike Harang, who was not fatally wounded, Bayaran was knocked unconscious after being stabbed in the lung, and Zyrell was pierced through the lower abdomen, the most important point through which mana flows.
If left alone, Bayaran will die and Zyrell will become a cripple who can never use magic.
‘… … We cannot allow those who stand up to evil to end up like that.’
Harang’s eyes glowed a faint silver. He had used too much magic before and was pierced by shadows, leaving him unable to do anything, but if he had the will, nothing would be impossible…
If anything, he even thought of using the Golden Wheel that he had been saving for the purpose of leveling up to recover, and he tried to endure the pain and exert strength to somehow remove the shadow that had pierced his shoulder.
… … Woof!!
A silver crystal sphere floated before Harang’s eyes.
It was really warm.
It was warm like the sunlight shining through the clouds in a clear sky full of sunlight, and I felt cozy like a child in my mother’s arms.
“This…….”
It was something I had never seen before.
But I knew it instinctively.
That’s it.
The very reason why he came here and suffered and suffered for months.
“… … Estelle?”
Estelle hummed and emitted silver waves as if responding to his call.
[Would you like to absorb the power of the first Estelle?]
As she watched the message floating before her eyes, Harang felt like crying.
“… … Yes. Nice to meet you too, Estelle.”
As if it had understood the greeting, a brilliant silver light burst out, seeming to overturn the entire space.
Flash-!!
The entire vault was enveloped in a warm and intense energy… … .
