Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 348

Episode 348: Providence (1)

Adrian galloped relentlessly near the ruins of the ruined castle.

Even though the field of vision is changing rapidly, the sky blue eyes do not miss the enemy's movements at all.

Increased the rhythm by half a beat.

He turned sharply and swung his magic sword at the bastard's opening.

But this time, a huge blade cut into the path without fail.

A heavy impact transmitted to your fingertips.

He bent his waist and let the sword slip away, then turned his body.

Adrian quickly kicked the bastard in the head and distanced himself.

'I had a feeling.'

The power was properly applied.

Even though he was wearing a helmet, the impact would have been transmitted all the way inside.

[… … .]

But the undead just aims the tip of Flamberg's sword at Adrian as if nothing happened.

I think he was called the Knight of the End.

It feels like I'm up against a solid wall.

'We don't get along well.'

Adrian's specialty is quick swordsmanship.

The essence of his swordsmanship is to cut down enemies in one breath at a speed that makes it difficult for them to react.

But this time the opponent is a top-tier undead.

They don't even flinch when stabbed or cut in the same vital spot as humans.

Not only that, but because of the bizarre armor that protects his entire body, sword attacks don't work properly.

How to handle it.

It was a moment when Adrian was troubled.

[The end. is coming.]

The Knight of the End thrust his sword into the ground.

Nature began to wither as eerie waves of purple swept through the surroundings.

The vitality of the forest and the earth gathers around the Knight of the End.

A more powerful and vicious aura.

Thud. There was a vibration, and in the blink of an eye, the sword was lowered vertically.

“……!”

An ominous sword energy shot into the air.

The dead earth cracked open, with the trees turning gray.

Adrian narrowed his eyes as he dodged the blow.

'Is it the ability to absorb the life around you and transform it into power?'

It also seems that humans are included in the category of life.

When I saw that some inexplicable unpleasant energy was trying to dig into Adrian's body at every moment.

Resistance was not difficult, but what would have happened to a normal soldier? It was clear that he would have had all his life force robbed in an instant.

A being that scatters the end.

The Knight of the End.

It became natural to understand why it was given that name.

But Adrian didn't feel anything special.

“…….”

His nerves were turned back for a moment.

Dark clouds hang over the gray sky.

There is an irregular rumble of thunder, and beneath it a waterspout is rising.

At its center, a powerful presence was felt that was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

'Berden. This is the power my lord possesses… …!'

I recalled the time when I stood up to Baloch while he was mind controlled.

It was intense.

However, at the time, Adrian's power was not enough to fully bring out Verden's true strength.

But I never thought it would be this bad.

I understood with my head and heart that my lord's realm was close to that of a transcendent being.

Of course, I never doubted it in the first place.

The power that Verden will build, transcendence through awakening, and thus destroy the Bohemian Tower.

The revenge hasn't even begun yet.

There's a long way to go.

'In that case, I can't be held back by a mere undead.'

Adrian showed off his power.

His heel, his eyes gleaming with life, lifted off the ground.

Oh my!

[… … !]

At some point, Adrian passed the Knight of the End.

The sound of a bang follows later.

A large dent appeared in the armor of the Knight of the End, who was unable to block the blow.

There is no vital point? It doesn't matter.

'If there are no weaknesses, then just create them.'

Adrian twisted his body in the opposite direction and displayed great skill.

New moon. New moon.

A purple crescent moon shot towards the Doomsday Knight.

* * *

Triple casting.

<Inferno>

The crimson wall burned the entire surface of the ground. Soon, a huge vortex engulfed him, spreading flames in all directions.

Cheeeeek!

The heat is so intense that even stone cannot withstand it for long and will melt.

A magical sense of confusion due to the magical power scattered everywhere. The blooming haze clouded the entire field of vision.

'… … is coming.'

Kaesilus reacted quickly and grabbed the old staff with both hands.

<The Curtain of the Lost Soul>

A defensive black magic that inflicts a random mental curse on anyone it touches.

Verden, who appeared from the flames, swung Orient without paying any attention.

Kwajijijik!

The curtain was shattered by a shock wave imbued with the properties of gravity.

This was expected, but Kaesilus was unable to respond to the next spell.

<Mixed Name>

A destructive magic was unleashed through Maan, blowing away Viola's power from the front.

───Kwaaaaang!

Kaesilus, swept away by the dark blue waves, was slammed into the old castle wall.

Debris rains down over our heads.

There were no injuries thanks to the robes that had high resistance, but it was impossible to completely block the impact.

That brief moment of emptiness.

Just as Verden was about to blow away the entire area, Archlich intervened.

[Freeze, you lowly human.]

Arkrich's book flickered at the sound of a voice scraping against iron plates.

A frigid whirlpool formed in the turbulence. Verden fired a giant rock in response.

A rock that had withstood the storm fell.

The next spell struck just after a loud noise.

Thud thud thud.

Meanwhile, Kaesilus rose up.

When I raised my head, the sight of Archer being pushed back helplessly came into view.

'Even though it touched the <Veil of the Lost Soul>, the curse did not work.'

The mental curse does not work.

In addition, there are strange eyes that ignore magical calculations and distance, and are engraved with some unknown magic circle.

Although it is extremely dangerous, its abilities were known in advance through the deaths of Viola and Nosa.

The problem is the powerful presence formed by the amount of magic power and the realm.

'It was far beyond my expectations.'

The concept of existence is imbued with a power that cannot be clearly defined.

For example, humans.

People who have reached the realm of power can exert external influence, such as suppressing others and changing the atmosphere, simply by displaying their power.

This means that the status has increased due to the increase in land area.

On the surface, it appears similar to the effect of concentrating energy, magic power, and divine power to overwhelm an opponent, but in reality, it is completely different.

The phenomena that occur due to the status of existence vary from person to person.

But the common denominator is clear.

It is non-coercion that makes the opponent move on his own.

'The sky is shaking with Asher's presence.'

The world reacted on its own.

Even though the scope is narrow, it would be impossible for someone other than a transcendent being to cause such a phenomenon… … .

'no way…….'

Kaesilus frowned.

After being lost in thought for a moment, he flew up into the sky again.

It gathers magical power while calculating high-level black magic.

* * *

A single quasi-transcendent being.

Archrich and Kaesilus, who are ranked in the middle and upper ranks of the sixth tier respectively.

Not many national powers in the world have clashed in full force.

The aftermath was more than I expected.

Most of the ancient castle ruins were completely blown away, and the hollowed-out ground was filled with cold and flames.

Verden exhaled with a rush of breath.

'It's definitely tricky.'

Undead and humans.

This is my first time facing off against two or more 6th-tier wizards.

Even they are cleverly targeting only squares.

When one person is in danger, the other one follows from afar.

Even if you use your magic eye, it is difficult to gain an absolute advantage because both of them cannot be seen.

'Is this your own way of coping?'

It's not for nothing that the organization is in conflict with the Luas Church.

I am confident that it will be a long-term war, but I don't intend to go through the hassle of doing so.

Eliminate one of the two first. That's the simplest solution.

Verden pounded the ground with his staff.

<Terrain Manipulation>

Kugugugugugugu… … !

The ground shakes as the magical power spreads out in an instant.

Soon, numerous earthen pillars rose into the sky, forming a tidal wave on the earth.

“To use low-level magic like <Terrain Manipulation> in this way… You’re not human.”

Kaesilus muttered softly and cast the same magic as Archlich at the same time.

Quadra casting.

<Death of the Earth>

A total of eight black magic spells.

Life drains from the cursed land, and it is free from the concept of terrain.

It was as if a giant wave had collapsed and was falling silently.

A massive earthquake shook the earth's axis due to its enormous weight.

At that moment, Verden raised the Orient high through the thick clouds of dust.

The blue light that flickered and dyed the sky fell toward the ground.

"this……!"

Kaesilus hurriedly created a wall of bone.

Quagwagwagwang! Quagwagwagwang! Quagwagwagwang!

Numerous lightning strikes struck indiscriminately.

It is impossible to avoid.

In addition, each and every one of them contains a power that cannot be ignored.

“……! ……!”

[This, this mortal… …!]

Finally the wall of bones shattered and a bolt of lightning struck them.

I immediately deployed <Flight> and shot forward to find a place without lightning. I somehow endured the impact I couldn't avoid with my resistance.

It was then that I went out of range.

Verden, who had been waiting, pointed at them with his finger.

“Come down.”

<Heavy pressure>

───Kuung.

Kaesilus and Archlich fell to the ground due to the suddenly increased gravity.

Everyone's reaction was one of bewilderment.

But it's still too early to be surprised.

This brings both of them into range.

<Gravity>

A 6th-tier gravity magic that combines spatial properties.

A powerful force pulled the entire surrounding space together.

“……?!”

From both sides, Kaesilus and Acriche were brought in.

Those who intuitively felt that they could not resist each desperately calculated their magic.

<The Light of Negation>

<Melody of Corruption>

Left and right.

Verden, who had measured the speed of the two magics, released his gravity. He immediately used his magical power control to distort the trajectory of the negative beam.

And then, without hesitation, he threw himself into the toxic current.

[What poor judgment. Just melt away───]

Ainver's first performance, Sanctuary.

Its owner, Verden, is immune to all toxins.

Verden, who passed the magic easily, spun around and swung Orient.

[uh.]

That was the end of Arkrich.

<Destruction>

Kwaaaaaaaah!

Arkrich's head was shattered.

Even the undead could not escape death.

The body, which had lost its subject and was rotten and decayed, began to collapse and slowly disappear along with the robe.

Now all that remains is Kaesilus───

“That’s how you deal with Arkrich. It was surprising, but it was a handshake, Asher.”

Kaesilus' staff was aimed squarely at Verden's head.

<The Bloody Spear>

A cursed weapon boasting overwhelming speed and penetration power.

It is a high-level black magic that causes immediate death if you receive even the slightest fatal injury.

To deal with the Ark Reach, Verden's center is tilted forward.

Certainly, if things continue this way, avoidance will be impossible.

Yeah, if you haven't developed the infinite magic.

<Elemental Fusion>

Verden's body was transformed into light.

Numerous branches of blue lightning spread out in all directions and gathered together again.

and.

Crunch.

The blade of magic pierced the center of Kaesilus' body, from behind.

“Ugh?!”

Whoa, the guy vomited blood.

Verden didn't stop there.

He lifted the staff and split the upper body, including the head, in half.

Then a shockwave exploded from the tiny sphere of gravity and struck Kaesilus' body.

Flames erupted everywhere, engulfing the air.

Rain in the heat.

<Ragnark>

Hell has fallen.

A fierce flame that melted the entire area.

The fourth servant's body, which had lost its strength and fallen, sizzled and burned.

… … .

After a while, the flames died down.

A half-splitting, burnt corpse was placed inside the wall.

It is a fatal wound enough to ensure death.

But Verden's unique intuition is whispering.

He's still alive.

Verden, who had been staring at Kaesilus coldly, spoke softly.

“Not dying. Is that your magic?”

A moment of silence fell.

The fingers of Kaesilus, who was no better than a corpse, twitched.
