Descent of the Legendary Archmage Chapter 137

Chapter 137

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!

With a bloody cry, Horus, the pterosaur of light, appeared through the wall.

‘bingo!’

Looking at him, I called for joy in my heart.

‘It went as planned.’

Horus, the pterosaur of light.

Darkness, the pterosaur of darkness.

The great cavity where these two are sleeping is attached to one wall.

The first search was puzzling, but as I re-explored the passage of darkness and the passage of light, I was convinced that the two cavities were connected.

‘And this as expected.’

Just as light and darkness are symmetrical to each other, these two monsters are opposite to each other.

What would happen if these monsters met?

I don’t know if I need to answer, but if I have to.

Hey hey hey hey!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!

fight

It also fights like crazy.

In an instant, they forgot that there was an intruder like me, and they fought each other to death.

“Aww!”

With the clash between the two mythical species, a terrifying storm blew.

Light and darkness collided, mana was distorted, and space collapsed.

‘The prediction was correct, and I have to leave this place first!’

Shrimp’s back exploded in whale fight, now we have to get away from those two as much as possible.

Otherwise, you will be caught in the aftermath and lose your life.

I quickly kicked off the ground and pulled away from the two pterodactyls.

“Kuk!”

But I was soon forced to stop.

‘small type… … black hole?’

The collapsed space turned into a black hole and began to pull my body.

It was an abnormal phenomenon that occurred when the attraction of darkness and the repulsion of light reached their extremes.

Woo woo woo woo woo-!

No matter how strong the suction power was, even with all his might, he could only endure it.

No, I can’t even stand it.

My body was being led little by little through the cracks in space.

If this continues, he will be sucked into the gap in that space and will end his life as it is.

‘Even if that’s not the case, if I stay here like this, I’ll die from being attacked by those two guys!’

Even now, the two pterosaurs are shooting light and darkness without a break.

So far, that attack hasn’t bounced in my direction, but it can’t be like this forever.

Evacuate to a safe area as soon as possible.

‘Gongjin (共振)!’

My infinity circle spun at full speed.

The second infinity circle, the mana emitted by the ring of resonance, enveloped my entire body.

With this, I can use magic beyond my realm for about 3 minutes.

‘Max output. Superheated Hell!’

Fire, fire, fire!

Blue flames wrapped around my body.

‘Dahlia’s superheat hell, which was a 5th circle user, wasn’t perfect in terms of resistance to explosions, but if it’s me now… … !’

If it’s the superheat hell that I’m using now that I’ve raised my strength to the next level with the power of resonance, I can raise my explosion resistance to the same level as my flame resistance!

‘Circle 6 fire property magic.’

Starting with the Ring of Resonance, the five Infinity Circles rotated even faster.

With the will to bet everything on this one shot of magic.

I poured my all into it.

‘Giga Explosion!’

Explosion’s higher magic.

It’s cast right behind me.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!

It exploded.

“Aww!”

Like the magic I used all my strength, there was a huge explosion.

Its power was so great that even I, who had raised my flame and explosion resistance to the extreme with Super Heat Inferno, felt pain.

it hurts, it’s hot

The lacerations I have felt so far cannot be compared.

It’s a pain like losing your mind.

‘But with this… … !’

I bit my lip and opened my eyes. The scenery of the Great Cavity passes by quickly. My body was flying in the sky, and my field of view was changing every moment.

‘escape… success!’

The operation to escape using the explosive power of the Giga Explosion succeeded safely.

thud! Degurur!

At that moment, my body, which was flying in the sky, collided with the floor and rolled on the floor.

“Cheuk!”

The feeling of the burns and lacerations on my back being rubbed against the floor was indescribably terrible.

It was so painful that I almost passed out this time.

My body only stopped after rolling 15 times across the floor.

‘Wake up, it’s me…’ … .’

I gritted my teeth and got up from my seat.

Both hands pushing off the ground hurt as if they would tear, but I persevered with willpower.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

At that moment, an explosion occurred as light and darkness collided within me.

Fortunately, there was some distance, so the explosion didn’t directly affect my body.

Woo woo woo woo-!

After that, the storm hit my body as it was.

“Big!”

A torrent of irresistible power blows my body away again.

Quaang!

My body crashed into the wall as it was.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

But this time, fortunately, there was no such thing as before.

Before, I couldn’t use magic due to the aftereffects of max output, so I rolled on the floor helplessly, but not now.

When colliding with a wall, he managed to somehow reduce the impact by using magic.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”

I sat down on the floor as it was.

With only one knee bent, I put my hands on the floor and tried to stand up. But my legs didn’t listen.

‘… … Did the impact just break a bone in his leg.’

My right leg was swollen, so it must have been properly broken.

hard.

I bit my teeth hard to forget the pain.

‘If your legs don’t move, you can just replace them with magic… … !’

Even though my body is in rags, my circle is still in full swing.

There is still a long way left before the resonance is released.

I moved mana right away.

‘Psychokinesis!’

An intangible power dwelled in my right leg.

Originally, it was a simple magic that could only apply force in a certain direction or apply pressure.

It’s different when I use

My telekinesis became my new legs, moving my body.

‘A little more, a little more… … .’

one step.

one step.

As I became more accustomed to the use of telekinesis, my walking speed gradually increased.

Kirururururuk!

Aaaaaang!

I forcibly ignored the sounds of the two pterosaurs clashing from behind and quickly continued on my way.

‘Go ahead 10 meters!’

The remaining distance to the destination is only 10 meters.

‘5 meters, 3 meters… … .’

I ran with my whole body shaking. and.

‘1 meter… … 30 cm… … .’

widely!

The huge door I was aiming for.

I arrived at the huge iron gate on the other side of the door I entered.

‘Now, all I have to do is open this… … .’

You can escape from here.

I pushed the iron door with all my strength and mana.

The telekinesis of the same level and power as when Giga Explosion was used earlier became an intangible force and pushed the iron door.

however.

‘… … Can’t you open it?’

The iron door did not open.

It didn’t even open, it didn’t even move.

It seemed that only the time of this iron gate was fixed.

‘no way. Are there conditions for opening the door?’

If it hadn’t been for lack of strength, the iron door would have moved even a little.

The fact that there was not even the slightest movement like this meant that it was not a door that could be opened by force.

In other words, in order to open this iron gate, certain conditions must be met.

‘What are the conditions? There was nothing around that seemed like a device that could open this door. So, is there a trigger or something? Then what is the trigger?’

My thoughts accelerated to the speed of light. Using the new eye that had already been opened, he quickly scanned the surroundings and obtained information.

However, I couldn’t get any proper information.

Since there was no newly acquired information, no clue to the solution could be found.

Peeing!

The breath emitted by Horus, the pterosaur of light, brushed Darkness, the pterosaur of darkness, and passed over my head.

I watched the laser pass over my head, sluggishly crashing into the iron door.

‘This… … .’

An attack that would seem unlucky at first glance.

However, to me now, that breath was not bad luck, but heavenly luck.

‘If it’s Horus’ breath… … !’

No matter how great the iron gate is, it won’t be able to withstand that breath.

It will surely fall apart. I was so sure

Aaaaaaaaaagh-!

“Keugh!”

The breath of light collided with the iron door and an explosion rang out.

Because it exploded fairly close, the aftermath was devastating to my body.

‘Absolute Shield!’

To block the aftermath, 5th circle defense magic. Although he used full-body defense type defense magic that boasts absolute defense power.

Clink!

I couldn’t even last 2 seconds.

The Absolute Shield was shattered in the aftermath of the storm when Horus’ breath and the iron gate collided.

‘that’s enough.’

But I wish I could have held out for 2 seconds.

‘The biggest impact was prevented.’

Feeling the burning heat, I twisted the corner of my mouth.

Then he stared intently at the top of the iron door where the explosion had occurred.

I waited for the smoke to dissipate, expecting the iron gate to be shattered.

however.

‘… … Are you okay?’

The iron gate was fine.

It wasn’t even scratched.

The mysterious magic circle filling the iron gate perfectly blocked the breath.

‘Nonsense.’

It was shocking.

Even at a cursory glance, the strength of the iron gate, which seems to have exceeded the power of the 8th circle, even after being hit by Horus’s breath, was shocking.

What was more shocking was the presence of a magic circle surrounding the iron gate.

‘There was a magic circle… … ?’

A while ago, right after confirming that the iron door would not open.

I searched all around me through Shinan for a solution.

Of course, the iron gate was also observed without omission.

but.

‘I’m sure there was no such thing as a magic circle.’

My eyes couldn’t detect the magic circle cast on the iron gate.

That was the most shocking of all.

‘What is this magic circle?’

Was it because he clashed with Horus’ breath?

I put my hand on the mysterious magic circle that was completely revealed.

Contemplate magic using divine eyes.

Observe the magic ceremony.

‘There’s a stealth spell that prevents magic detection on the surface.’

A magic circle that seems to have been set up for the purpose of preventing the detection of God’s eyes.

It was probably installed by Master.

‘And the magic circle behind it… … .’

pounding, pounding.

A heartbeat could be heard over the magic circle.

A mysterious heartbeat that is deeply connected through the ground.

I followed the magic circle that continued through the ground with my eyes.

‘This magic circle. It is connected to the heart of Darkness, the pterosaur of darkness.’

The magic circle was connected to the heart of Darkness.

that means this.

‘This iron gate is Darkness’s heart stop. It is set to open with death as a trigger.’

It meant that we couldn’t move forward without defeating Darkness.

“… … .”

I slowly turned my head to look at the two pterosaurs still fighting fiercely.

A single flap of its wings is more threatening than a lot of high-circle magic, it boasts excellent defense power enough to leave scars even when hit by each other’s breath, and it pours out breath equivalent to 8th-circle magic in seconds to defeat a monster like that?

‘… … It’s impossible.’

No matter how much those two are fighting, that’s impossible.

Even if I join Horus here, nothing will change.

Shrimp cannot have a significant impact in a whale fight.

‘… … So, am I supposed to watch until the battle between the two ends here?’

no. That’s not right.

The power of those two is equal.

It would be faster for me to die in the aftermath of the battle than for those two to come to a conclusion.

‘Then the only way… … .’

to return to the cathedral.

That’s it.

Fortunately, the door back to the cathedral is open.

Once you return to the abandoned cathedral through that door, recover from your wounds, and plan the future… … .

‘no. That doesn’t work either.’

Right before entering the passage of light.

I heard the sobs of the ghosts in the abandoned cathedral.

And before entering the passage of darkness, the sobbing grew louder.

This means that the specter is recovering its power.

If you go back to the abandoned cathedral from here, you just have to fight the ghost.

If you stick with the ghost in this state, you won’t be safe.

Therefore, it is impossible to escape.

‘… … damn.’

Blood dripped from my lips. It looks like I bit my lip without realizing it.

‘It’s a slope.’

There is no way to get to the next area.

can’t run away

It is impossible to survive here.

perfect outflow.

All numbers are blocked.

‘… … No, there must be a way.’

Reality is not a chessboard.

There is no such thing as an out-of-the-box number in reality with a vast amount of information and variables that cannot be compared to games.

‘If you think it’s a single shot, it’s just that I haven’t found the answer yet.’

If you don’t stop thinking, the bow will open.

I continued to spin my thoughts.

and soon.

‘… … found.’

I found a way.

The only way to overcome this crisis.

with only one bow.

‘but… … Can I do it now?’

I turned my gaze and looked at the huge iron gate.

As if the concealment magic circle was completely annihilated by Horus’ attack, the iron gate still shines with its graceful magic circle.

‘… … no. Let’s not think about whether we can do it or not.’

can do.

Let’s think about that one thing.

widely!

I put both hands on the iron door.

‘There is nothing impossible in the bi-tenor style.’

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!

The Infinity Circle rotated even more intensely.

I feel sick.

Could it be the aftereffects of accelerating the circle more than necessary?

A huge pain, incomparable to the wounds on my body, oppressed my whole body.

“Keugh!”

But it wasn’t to the point of being unbearable. If you have a strong will, you can endure it.

I turned on the light in my eyes and glared at the iron door.

Grinding his teeth, he moved his mana.

‘See through.’

Master’s words filled my head.

‘Read the magic.’

My eyes hurt.

It was as if dozens of needles were poking my eyeballs from all sides.

‘See through the magic formula.’

Something flowed from my eyes.

A feeling completely different from tears.

is it blood

It looks like I’m overdoing it.

but.

‘If so… … .’

It doesn’t matter.

Pajik, Pajijikjik!

An electric current spurted from both of my hands.

The friction current generated when the mana that had been forged even higher by going around the Infinity Circle entered the iron door through my hand.

‘If so… … !’

Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsu!

saw. penetrated I saw through.

‘It will no longer be magic.’

‘It will no longer be magic!’

Clink!!

‘Pafe (破毁)!’

with the sound of something breaking.

Kiyi Iik-!

There was a creaking sound.

It sounded like a huge iron door opening.

‘In the body… strength… … .’

All strength was drained from my body, and my body began to lean forward.

‘Spirit… … If you lose… … .’

mind clouding.

vision darkening.

Through the blurry vision, I could see the ground getting closer.

‘No, no… … .’

The vision soon became dark.

In a world where pitch-black darkness coiled itself.

chin!

I felt someone’s warmth.

“… … indeed.”

A man’s voice for the first time in my life.

“A tiger cub is a tiger after all, even if it transcends time.”

Is it an illusion?

His voice sounded as excited as ever.

‘who… … nine.’

Without even having time to get the question out of my mouth.

“It’s quite good.”

I lost my mind.
