Descent of the Legendary Archmage Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Mimir looks at Aslan with an uncomfortable and annoyed face.

Aslan is smiling as if Mimir is cute.

It was a glimpse of what the relationship between the two was like.

They said that they were not on good terms, but it seems that Mimir was just one-sidedly uncomfortable.

“Was it possible for you to enter and leave the Book of Mimir so freely?”

“hmm?”

Aslan, who was staring at Mimir with a friendly expression, turned his gaze to me.

“okay. The Book of Idred and the Book of Mimir are linked. If you want to come, you can come.”

“aha.”

Since it is connected, it is also possible to move.

It was a pretty plausible statement.

“It is a lie. Don’t believe me.”

Mimir sneered, as if it were absurd.

“No matter how connected the books are, originally it would be impossible to move like this. If it was that easy, Elena would have been in and out often.”

“ah.”

If moving between books was free as Aslan said, Elena-sama would have visited Mimir’s Book often.

It’s normal that you should have come once, if not often.

Especially since the two of them were close friends.

However, Lady Elena never appeared in Mimir’s Book.

In other words, Aslan’s statement that it is easy to move between books is a lie.

“I was wrong. I mean, ‘for me’ it’s not that difficult.”

Aslan untied the twisted legs and crossed them in reverse.

Something about that attitude was very arrogant, but I was born.

“I am the only space magic user with my lord. And even moving between these books is a kind of spatial magic. Therefore, moving between books is not so difficult for me.”

“Those things are possible with space magic.”

He had no knowledge of space magic or the way the Book of Idred or Book of Mimir was made, so he had nothing more to say.

‘by the way… … .’

Along with Master, you are the only two users of space movement.

‘He was a great person after all… … .’

So is Elena.

After all, when it comes to Master’s vassals, everyone is amazing.

Then, is Aslan-nim also a 9th circle user?

It’s probably very likely.

no. In the first place, there is no way that the 9th Circle is the one who handles the magic of a dimension that is different from the space movement magic.

Of course it must be the 9th circle.

“Are the questions clear?”

“yes.”

“okay. Then, let me ask you a question this time.”

Aslan untied his legs and changed into a serious expression.

“Three days since I left the page of the fifth test. Where have you been and what have you been doing? Apparently, they haven’t even set foot here for two days.”

At Aslan’s question, Mimir widened his eyes and looked at me.

“okay. that’s right. successor. What have you been doing for two days?”

“hmm… … . Something like this happened.”

After making eye contact with Mimir and Aslan in turn, I explained what I had experienced and heard.

It was quite a long story, so I explained everything step by step over 15 minutes.

“And I just got out of the hospital and came here like this. That is all.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

After I finished talking, silence fell inside Mimir’s Well.

Both of them seem to have a lot on their mind.

They are complex expressions.

However, the reason for the complexity was slightly different.

“… … okay. The head of the Black Mage Tower is already in the 10th circle.”

Mimir seemed to be confused by the high probability that the Dark Mage King had entered the 10th circle.

“I almost died because I couldn’t handle a tricolor cat… … . I’m sorry.”

Aslan seemed to be confused by the fact that I was too weak.

“I guess I need to increase the intensity of training.”

Then he looked at me with passionate eyes and said so.

It was a smile that made people very uneasy.

“Then what was the outcome of the match?”

“Nothing has been decided yet. Maybe we will have a rematch.”

“I don’t think there’s any possibility that this year’s match results themselves will be invalidated or not?”

“I was a little worried too. They say you don’t have to worry about that.”

My father and the masters of each Mage Tower.

They told me not to worry about this year’s Olympiad being invalidated even if I died, and to rest.

“I’m glad.”

“I’m glad.”

Well, even if it’s invalidated, there won’t be a big problem as I’ve achieved the intended purpose of raising my name value to some extent.

Well, good is good, because it’s better if you can bring a gold medal and a new record.

“hmm. So, that means we don’t have any special plans for a while.”

Aslan, who was quietly listening to the conversation, smiled and said.

“yes.”

They haven’t made an official statement at the Olympiad yet.

It is highly likely that he will have to wait in the US for a while no matter what.

“How is your condition?”

“great.”

The corner of Aslan’s mouth went up even further.

“So you’re saying there’s nothing wrong with going to training right now.”

“yes. no problem.”

“good.”

Aslan stood up from her seat.

“Mimir. Can we assume that the conversation is over?”

“uh. for now.”

“Then would it be all right if I take you?”

“doesn’t care.”

“thank you.”

Aslan gave a small bow and took a step closer to me.

Then, after holding my hand, he drew a large line in the air.

That moment.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The void split.

“Then, Mimir. I will come back to say hello.”

“… … Do not come. Just return the heir well.”

“I will come again.”

“Don’t come.”

“I will definitely come.”

Mimir was speechless and frowned.

“… … do it yourself.”

“yes.”

Mimir sighed lightly, and Aslan smiled lightly.

and right after that.

“I will move.”

Aslan grabbed me and threw herself straight into the crack in the air.

“sleep… … .”

for a moment.

I didn’t even have time to say it.

Guided by the power of Aslan, I broke through the crack in the air.

Before I knew it, I was standing in the center of an empty training ground.

“From now on, I will correct that weak body of yours.”

At Aslan’s bloody spirit, a cold sweat broke out involuntarily.

This is a level of murderous intent that will almost kill a person.

The corner of Aslan’s mouth rose slowly. At the same time, my anxiety also grew.

“Welcome to Hell. successor.”

hell.

That would never be a metaphor.

‘… … Can’t I walk out on my own feet?’

Aslan Polo Hamruin’s Hell Training.

Imagining the terrifying intensity of training, I swallowed dry saliva.

* * *

About two hours have passed since Aslan’s training began.

“Huh, huh… … .”

I was sprawled on the floor and out of breath.

The sky was yellow, my head was pounding, and my stomach was disgusting.

I don’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

It was a classic symptom of exhaustion.

“It’s inconvenient. You can’t even hold on to this level of training.”

Looking down at me like that, Aslan shook his head.

‘… … Just this much?’

In the moment, harsh words almost came out.

Wherever you look, this is training that can be labeled as ‘only’.

Perhaps the modifier, at best, meant ‘like hell’ or ‘near death’ in the past?

‘If it was Soonchan, I would have passed out in 5 minutes.’

Aslan’s training was truly hell itself, to the point that even I, who prided myself on having one stamina, couldn’t stand it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the real words are training, and physical torture.

“Wake up. How long are you going to rest?”

“yet… … 1 minute… … .”

I haven’t been able to rest even for a minute yet, how long are you going to rest? I tried to argue what that meant, but I was so out of breath that I couldn’t speak properly.

“You think you’ll have a minute to rest on the battlefield? Get up without making excuses.”

Asran looked at me with a pitiful look.

“Is the successor trying to disgrace the face of his master? Don’t be shy and wake up. A guy who is less than half a penny.”

It was the eyes and words that scratched my pride.

I gnawed my teeth and desperately got up.

but.

“Kuk!”

My body didn’t listen to me.

His legs trembled like sick chickens, but he didn’t move.

Both arms trembled like aspen trees, but showed no sign of movement.

complete exhaustion.

There wasn’t even a single drop of stamina left in my body.

It was not a matter of having a strong will.

I am currently physically unable to move my body at all.

“… … hmm. It doesn’t look like it’s overkill.”

Looking at me like that, Aslan frowned.

It wasn’t that I was particularly pathetic, or disappointed, or that I was frowning.

“I don’t understand. Judging from the strength of the Infinity Circle, there’s no way it won’t be able to withstand even this much.”

A questionable frown.

It was a frown that stemmed from not being able to understand the current situation.

“Your boy. Haven’t you been focusing on your magic training until now and haven’t done any physical training?”

At those words, a sudden surge of emotions welled up.

I’ve never missed a day of physical training. He never did.

It is unfair.

“I am… … .”

It was time to try to refute, desperately catching my breath.

“no. A circle of this intensity cannot be completed if physical training is excluded… … .”

Before I could say anything, Aslan denied his opinion.

“… … Then what?”

I caress my chin with my right hand and examine every part of my body.

This was repeated 4 times in total, from head to toe.

“I don’t know.”

As a result, the brow furrowed even more. It’s an expression that I can’t understand the current situation.

“I have no choice but to take a look. Introspection is not my specialty.”

Aslan clicked his tongue as if he couldn’t help it, sat down, and put his hand on my stomach.

“From now on, I will start contemplating the inside. Do not resist.”

Even if you try to resist, you don’t have the strength to do so. It wasn’t just my stamina that the two-hour training took away.

His mental strength is also almost exhausted.

For me now, even moving mana is difficult.

“hmm. As expected, the circle itself is of great perfection… … .”

I could feel Asran’s mana moving through my body.

It moves exactly along the circuit of my infinity circle.

It was a near-perfect mana induction, considering that inner contemplation was not his specialty.

“Then why… … .”

Two laps, three laps.

Asran’s mana induction continues.

The point at which the five laps started.

Asran’s mana suddenly stopped.

“… … This.”

As if grasping something, I open my eyes wide and stare at a part of my body.

area below the navel.

Should I say lower abs?

Anyway, Aslan was staring intently at it.

“under. Did that happen?”

Then, suddenly, he burst into laughter.

It’s such a ridiculous expression.

“… … Do you have any problem?”

“What’s wrong?”

Aslan laughed again and looked into my eyes.

“I don’t mind. Can’t you see that this is a problem?”

Aslan removed his hand from my body and stood up.

“It was so basic that I couldn’t even imagine it. I just thought it would be there.”

Aslan glared at my stomach again and said.

“Your boy. Why didn’t you practice danjeon circular breathing?”

“Danjeon circulation breathing method… … .”

In this world, apart from magicians, there are things called “knights”.

It handles a technique that strengthens the body by concentrating mana in the ‘danjeon’ that exists in the lower abdomen and making it in the form of a ‘core’.

What these articles mainly do is the ‘danjeon circular breathing method’.

It can be seen as something like ‘mana circulation’ to a wizard.

“If you are referring to the breathing method used by knights, yes. Of course, I have never trained or trained separately.”

As a magician, would there be any reason for me to train the breathing techniques of knights?

Of course I never did.

“… … A breathing technique used by knights?”

Aslan asked again with an expression of what kind of nonsense was that.

“Since when, the danjeon circular breathing method… Has it become the exclusive possession of mana core knights?”

“… … yes?”

since when Isn’t that from the beginning?

“The response that I don’t know the English language… … .”

Aslan opened her eyes wide with a thought-provoking expression.

“Couldn’t it be that all the wizards of this era haven’t mastered danjeon circulation breathing?”

“yes. Since mana circles and mana cores are opposite to each other, of course no one is learning them.”

Knights’ mana cores and wizards’ mana circles.

There is a research result that if you make these two at the same time, there is a congestion.

And that’s not just one, but the results of dozens of studies.

“… … The more you listen, the more you step in.”

Aslan snorted with an expression telling him not to say nonsense.

“listen carefully. A mana circle and a mana core are not the same thing. A relationship in which each other raises each other’s strength. As you put it, it is in a mutually beneficial relationship.”

Aslan concentrated mana on his index finger and colored it.

“Look at this.”

Then, he started to list incomprehensible calculations while moving in the air.

“This is a 4th circle user who did not make a mana core and a 4th circle user who made a mana core. It is the result of digitizing the status of the two people and calculating it.”

Aslan, who finished the calculation in an instant, reversed the formula in the air and positioned it so that it could be clearly seen by me.

I did not know what kind of formula the formula was based on and in what form it was calculated, but I could see the result at a glance.

At the end of the formula, these words were written along with the result of an average of 2.0734:1.

[The presence or absence of a mana core shows a difference in magic efficiency about twice that of the same achievement.]

“… … Twice?”

Is the difference that big?
