Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 487

Episode 487: Open the World

The magic series of the Black Hour executives who appeared in the depths of the Great Hall, the deepest part, are Fire Magic, Black Magic, and Blessing Magic.

Among them, Karindin Lerhar is said to be a high-ranking flame magician of the 6th rank, and in terms of strength according to realm, he is said to be in the top 3 of the original members.

‘… … If you look at the Magic Tower, it means you are at the top level of the elders.’

Kwak.

Adrian's whole body felt strong.

It was an instinctive reaction.

The one who tore off the Master's limbs and tortured and experimented on him to death──Bohemirn Matapju, the closest aide to Balok Besias, is now standing before you as an enemy of equal strength.

Kwakwakwakwang! Kwakwakwakwang! Kwaaaaang!

The view ahead was dyed red by the bright red rain in the sky.

It's quite threatening.

Compared to the elemental magic of the Lord, it is nothing more than a drizzle.

Kuung!

Adrian charged straight ahead.

It cut through all approaching magic and even passed through explosions.

Then he stepped strongly against the wall and jumped.

It would be difficult for a being that can manipulate energy to deal with a wizard who can shoot magic from the vast void, but that disadvantage has long since been overcome.

Adrian reached the ceiling and exploded with his power, falling vertically.

He activated his skill towards Karindin and Levana, who were looking up.

wild dance

A purple afterimage embroidered in the air.

Dozens of black energies shot out, increasing the distance between them.

The two executives, sensing that they could not avoid it horizontally, quickly descended to the ground and simultaneously split into east and west.

'Kill me.'

Adrian unfolded his magic.

He kicked the ground with all his might and ran towards Karindin.

A new, blurred model.

With his characteristic deception, he quickly closed the distance and drew a diagonal line.

Whoosh whoosh!

Karindin blocked the sword attack with a shield he created using the magic sword <Guhwa> and concentrated his magic power.

The flame shield exploded.

It only spewed out bright yellow flames towards the front, creating an inferno.

But it didn't reach.

Adrian, who had caught up with Karindin at some point, was aiming for her neck with all his heart.

'The speed… …!'

Karindin turned her head belatedly, but it was already too late to stop it.

There's nothing I can do.

<Explosion>

The heat that manifests itself by using itself as firewood.

A strong flame burst out, centered around Karindin, who had taken the damage.

───Kagagagagak!

Adrian, who had fallen, raised his chin while killing his speed with the magic sword, Cadence.

A warm gaze was transmitted from the darkness covering the inside of the robe.

He was projecting his hatred towards the elders of the Bohemian Tower onto his opponent.

Naturally, Karindin Lerhar, who did not know the details, did not know the source of the thick murderous aura directed at her.

Just as the battle was about to begin again, Levana, who had been holding her breath, activated the unique mental magic she had been preparing.

<Fetter>

Towering.

Suddenly, a strong resistance was felt against Adrian's left ankle.

It was a spell that temporarily took away the freedom of the body by binding the mind, but for Adrian, who had strong mental powers, this was all there was to it.

That would have been enough.

“Well done, Levana.”

Karindin aimed his staff.

A small, blazing ballista formed around him.

As I pulled the trigger, a huge bolt shot straight through.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The explosion echoes.

It's simple, but its power is enough to break down a castle wall.

'You won't be safe if you get hit with that straight on.'

Karindin thought he had gained some momentum, but… … .

“It’s pretty hot?”

Before I knew it, Isabella was standing in front of Adrian.

Even though he was unable to completely block the cold air that was emitted with all his might, he suffered deep burns all over his body, but he seemed unconcerned.

Karindin frowned.

“Molovas! You failed to even attract one person’s attention. What are you doing!”

“That is……!”

Molobas slowly approached, using pieces of the corpse to repair his wounds.

Thanks to that, he recovered from his serious injuries, but other than that, he was in a total mess.

“I don’t know either……! It clearly pierced the heart and tore through the organs…… but it didn’t even collapse, let alone die……! Look at that!”

In front of everyone, Isabella's burn scars began to fade, and in less than a minute, her skin returned to its original state.

It wasn't magic, nor did it use magic items.

Karindin asked.

“You… are you human?”

“Would you believe me if I said that? And the other side also recovered from losing a limb. Isn’t it common for both sides to be inhuman?”

Isabella laughed at the three executives and turned her head away.

“How is the other person?”

“The name ‘first member’ is worthy of its name.”

Adrian lightly rolled his left leg, which had been restrained for a moment.

“But I can still kill you.”

“What if I hold on to the other two?”

“I guess I can cut it down faster.”

Of course, there would be a price to pay… … but Adrian was always ready to give flesh and take bone.

“Haha, you guys are holding up better than I thought, but to think you’d kill me outright? You’re so arrogant.”

Karindin drew a blazing magic circle with his staff. Molobas and Levana, who were beside him, each calculated their own magic.

It was at this moment that Adrian and Isabella were about to take action.

Something happened that no one expected.

Hooooooooooooooo!

I can hear the wind blowing.

All gazes, filled with strong doubt, were cast upward.

The 49 circles that had been moving until just now stopped, merging and dividing, forming a peculiar shape.

The most embarrassed one was Karindin herself.

“Wh, already……?”

Kuuung!

The fiftieth small ring, which had been stuck in the center of the ceiling, flew in and stopped exactly in front of the device that manipulated the ten thousand rings.

A slowly rotating circle.

Immediately afterwards, the [Eternal Hourglass] hidden inside was revealed.

Isabella opened her eyes wide.

'Alpha… …! What the heck, it's much faster than I expected?'

Cayman assumed that Dahit and the other original members would have naturally moved the hourglass's storage location within the Ring of Ten Thousand Changes, and indeed they did.

So, I decided to find the location of the [Eternal Hourglass] by tracing the natural magic inherent in the hourglass… … .

We achieved our objective in less than half of the tight exploration time.

Is that why?

Alpha confirmed that the magical power charged in the core was consumed more than usual.

<Transparency> cannot be maintained.

Alpha, who had no choice but to reveal himself, waved his arms downwards.

[success.]

Next, before anyone could say anything, he stared at the [Eternal Hourglass] and approached it with his arms outstretched.

however.

Whoosh whoosh!

[?]

Suddenly, darkness began to ripple around the rim of the ring containing the [Eternal Hourglass], and a curtain of black flames formed.

Alpha hesitated, but a hand brushed past.

With just that, half of my right arm was blown away and I was thrown out.

Karindin shook his head.

“I never thought that such a thing would be dealing with the Ring of Change. Was it something that Melad and Cayman had prepared to deal with the Ring of Change? It’s too bad. Success was just around the corner, but it ended up being a waste.”

The magic circle that blocked Alpha was created by none other than Dahit himself using magic.

'So that's why you were passively holding back the movement of the ring of change… …!'

A variable has been created.

It was also hindered by the thick obstacle of the power of the transcendent.

While Adrian was pondering what to do… Isabella, who was glaring at the [Eternal Hourglass] with her brother’s eyes, muttered.

“……Do you think it will work?”

I didn't ask what that meant.

Because I know even if you don't say anything.

Adrian said.

“What should I do?”

“I’ll take care of that. In the meantime, hold those three back.”

"i get it."

Adrian nodded confidently as if it was obvious.

Levana narrowed her eyes.

“Who sent it───”

Hyung-an's eyes lit up.

The magical tumors that had been slowly growing within Karindin, Molobas, and Levana's bodies reacted, diverting their attention for a moment.

Isabella flew backwards.

* * *

I simply jumped over the stairs and stepped into the place where I could manipulate the ring of change.

Alpha, who had stood up awkwardly, greeted her with one arm.

Isabella asked worriedly.

"are you okay?"

[Good.]

Fortunately, Alpha appears to be unharmed.

Isabella nodded and stood in front of Dahit's magic circle.

The golden eyes engraved with the magic circle of the transformed reverse sky glowed, visualizing its essence.

'A flame that erases everything except for the [Eternal Hourglass]… … This is befitting of a transcendent being. It's so outrageous that it's terrifying.'

If he were a normal human, he would have died instantly if even a single hair was brushed against him.

If Alpha hadn't had such high resistance, it might have suffered the same fate.

'But it still has its weaknesses.'

It was plain to Isabella.

How can I safely get the hourglass out of here?

All it takes is a little determination.

Hwaaaaah!

He opened the magic circle of erosion with all his might, his eyes flashing. He put all his effort into eroding away even a small part of the magic circle.

Gulp.

Sticky blood flowed from his eyes and nose along his skin.

My head feels like it's going to explode.

Nevertheless, rather than backing down, he took a step forward.

Isabella stretched out her right arm, which had concentrated all her magical power, without hesitation.

Whaaaaaaaaaaah.

“Eww……!!!!!”

[Danger. Recommend to remove hands.]

“It’s okay, to this extent……!”

Magic power gradually disappears.

Within, the biological tissues that made up the body began to burn and scatter.

The pain was excruciating.

However, the unique resilience that allows one to survive even when one's heart is crushed and head is shattered significantly slows down the rate at which the body disintegrates.

'Yes, I can do it.'

I poured the magical power from my heart into my right arm, slightly increasing my resistance.

little by little.

Isabella's hand slowly approached the [Eternal Hourglass].

* * *

No one died, even though cold air flowed out from the magical tumors that had taken root in their bodies.

Since the level of the executives was at a high level, it took a long time for the magic tumor to grow, so they were unable to inflict much damage.

'Those eyes, I thought there was something ominous, but were they secretly performing such magical effects? They don't seem to be witchcraft. Anyway.'

Karindin melted the cold that had spread throughout her body in a matter of seconds.

He laughed in disbelief after witnessing Isabella's antics.

“Wow… You jumped into the flames of destruction without fear. You must have felt at least a little bit of what that power holds. I’ve never seen a magician with such no attachment to life.”

The reactions of other executives were similar.

Swish.

Adrian gathered his courage and took a stance.

There is no conversation.

The weight that had been extremely placed on the front heel was suddenly released.

Invisible speed.

Karindin, who had already become accustomed to such movements, leaped into the air and set the entire area on fire without locking onto a target.

Meanwhile, Molobas and Levana were <flying> and targeting Adrian with precision.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Adrian, who had been focusing on evasion, narrowed his eyes.

'The black magician isn't a big threat, but… … the mental magic is very bothersome. If caught by the wrong person, it can be fatal.'

Holding on is the worst option.

Forcing yourself to waste time will only make the situation worse.

'A decision will be made in a short period of time.'

That was the breakthrough Adrian had set out to make.

Extreme extreme

Enhancement of the senses through the seasons.

He, who read the currents surging from all directions with his sense of touch that was beyond the norm, glowed with his sword as soon as he detected the magic knot.

All magic within the range splits, loses its form, and disappears.

Even psychic magic that has no clear entity.

Levana was astonished.

“Crazy, how can you do that with a sword…….”

Adrian ran at full speed.

He kicked off the wall without slowing down and changed direction sharply.

I continued to move diagonally and increase my altitude.

At the same time, it forms a kind of clone by leaving behind numerous afterimages at every moment with the same level of presence as the main body.

The technology that succeeded in disrupting even Verden's senses was so effective that the nerves of the three executives who encountered it right in front of them were finely divided.

'First of all, those two.'

Adrian raised his arms.

Then his clones took the same stance and swung their swords all at once.

A purple sword line cutting through the atmosphere.

wason 渦旋

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa───!

The number of black ink, which was in the double digits until a few months ago, has increased to nearly triple digits through training.

It swung indiscriminately, creating a storm of blades.

“Kuaaaahh …

“……!!”

The bone armor that Molobas had hastily put on cracked open, tearing deeply into his skin, muscles, joints, and organs.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body was covered in scars. Molobas barely managed to keep his wits about him and avoid falling.

Karindin came down to the ground to respond, but was unable to block all of them and was exposed to several ray of black energy.

Some of the severed hair fell out. Blood flowed from the exposed bone of the shoulder.

“What, what is it…….”

Of course, Levana was also on guard… … but contrary to expectations, she was fine. This was because she was exactly outside the boundaries of her craft.

That's what Adrian intended.

To deal with that annoying psychic wizard, you have to shake his mind first.

And based on the world's standards, the current time zone is night.

“Melt away while hiding your teeth.”

Adrian whispered the words of the dark blue robe [Shade Spider] that he had obtained from Tersau, the secret treasury of the Republic of Veldirn.

In an instant, his new form melted into the darkness and became unidentifiable.

Levana had already completely lost track of Adrian's location.

A clear gap.

Choaaaah!

Adrian appeared with a sharp surprise attack. The demon sword, Cedence, slashed across Levana's body, spraying blood.

'… … ? It's shallower than I thought.'

As a high-ranking executive, it seems that he must have come up with a plan to avoid instant death at least once.

Of course, that doesn't mean it wasn't deep at all.

Because it reached the bone enough.

“Ugh……!!”

He spun around in the air. His powerful heel slammed into Levana's torso, sending her flying far away.

Phew.

Adrian fell.

He took aim at Molobas, who was just below him, while making threatening turns.

Kwajijijik!

The right arm that the bastard raised in a panic was cut off and his left arm was cut in half.

The trapezius muscle as well.

If you just apply a little more force, you'll be able to cut it in two without a hitch.

Whirlyrick.

At that moment, a flaming noose flew in from below, entangled Adrian's calf, and slammed him hard into the ground.

“Big.”

A nagging pain.

Adrian stood up straight and lowered his upper body close to the floor as he advanced.

Karindin, who had captured the orbit, created a greatsword-like flame from his staff.

Hwaaaaaaaah!

They crossed paths.

“……! Gulp, gulp!!”

A thick stream of flame flew from the front and swept across his upper body. Adrian bit his molars at the sensation of his organs boiling.

The temperature soared and the bubbling stomach acid hit my throat.

“Ugh…….”

On the other hand, Karindin was cut near the ribs.

There was a crack in the bone and a lot of bleeding.

I tried to close the wound with my hand and turned my head back to finish.

'how.'

Karindin's eyes widened.

'How can the organs move normally when they are half cooked? …?'

Even though his injuries are such that it wouldn't be strange if he died, he still stands there holding his sword.

No, the energy has become stronger.

For some reason, I had a strange feeling that I was getting stronger as the battle continued.

At that moment.

Paaaaaaaah!

A pure natural magical light emanating from the sky far above.

“Whew, I almost died.”

[Scanning… … No life threatening. A real success.]

Isabella willingly cut off her right arm, which was burning in pitch-black flames.

She showed off the [Eternal Hourglass] with her remaining left hand.

Goal achieved.

And the aftereffects were fully conveyed to the two transcendent beings.

* * *

The engagement between Verden and the Archduke of Rivandaille was more like a sparring match, as neither of them had any intention of killing the other.

In reality, the damage was minor at best, let alone serious.

But not this time.

Above all, both transcendent beings are pursuing extreme strength.

Naturally, their magic warfare was infinitely violent, rough, and aggressive.

The lake between the central laboratory of the Great Hall and the second gate was dyed in the netherworld.

Everything was painted black.

The deep blue bridge and the emerald lake were now covered in black and white.

It wasn't just the color that changed.

Dahit's realm was destroying foreign substances at every moment.

'Is it possible that just existing here could cause one to disappear without a trace?'

Although it was indeed a merciless unique magic… … there was no reason for Verden to be restricted in his actions.

[Einver]'s <Encryption>.

This ability, powered by the magic of destruction, strengthens Verden's physical abilities, which can no longer be affected by 6th-tier magic.

In addition to constantly blocking the influence of the external environment, it adds the concept of 'chain' to magic using the magic <Destruction>.

<Lightning – Explosion>

Flash!

The moment Interis struck Dahit, the crimson lightning struck and exploded three times in one breath. At the same time, a satellite of flame and lightning blinked.

By consuming two satellites, the impact of the thunder and fire was further added.

Teab is a secondary magic.

It has a magical effect that adds additional damage to magic by consuming the satellite of the attribute.

Its power varies depending on the amount of magic consumed when activating Teab.

Each of the satellites currently surrounding Verden is equivalent to a 7th-rank satellite.

“It’s quite powerful……!”

Dahit crossed his hands to cushion the impact as much as possible, then pointed at Verden with the tips of his ten fingers.

Pubbubububububu!

Black sparks rained down from all directions, hitting the ground and causing an explosion.

Berden, who had forced his way through the gap in the barrage, crushed Dahit with his strength. They fell together into the center of the bridge.

Kkugugugu… … !

Dahit grabbed Interis's torso with his left hand and stopped him.

The distance is close.

As the two men bowed, they simultaneously extended their remaining arms.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The chain shockwave of destruction and the wave of ruin clashed.

It's similar.

Berden suddenly kicked Dahit's stomach with his foreleg. Immediately afterwards, he swung Interis horizontally with all his might.

Pfft pfft pfft!

This time, a torrent of lightning with gravity and space satellites came rushing in.

"hmm."

Dahit grabbed him with one hand.

He pushed back farther and concentrated his magical power into his palm.

<Extinction>

A trace of magic that disappears completely from the world, covered in pitch-black flames.

A fierce battle ensued.

Dahit tried to devour his opponent by making full use of the flames that filled the area, but Verden consumed all of his satellites to stop him.

However, as a result of constantly using powerful magic with endless magical power, the burden that was accumulating on the magical circuits gradually began to become a problem.

“……!”

Verden hesitated for a moment.

Dahit, who did not miss the opportunity, gathered all his magical power.

Quinter Casting.

<Yooun>

Five meteors, made up entirely of volcanic rock, fall in a curved orbit.

Verden, who had just come to his senses, drew a straight line by emitting a beam of lightning.

The middle of the bridge that collapsed due to the shock wave generated when the two collided.

widely.

Verden shrugged his shoulders and barely managed to keep his balance with Interis.

The right eye was closed.

To give the overused eye a brief rest.

Dahit also couldn't hide his somewhat tired expression.

That was all.

… … .

Two magical transcendent beings faced each other across a collapsed bridge.

“This is the third time I’ve fought a fierce battle like this since I entered the realm of transcendence. If the world saw this sight, it would have gone down in history.”

Dahit was truly sorry.

“But something else would be fine too. Of course, this is not an invitation to surrender. A being that bends its will and surrenders cannot reach transcendence.”

He continued.

“I will personally study your corpse without letting anyone touch it. Your eyes, your heart, even your magical circuits.”

“Like the frozen corpse of an ancient wizard?”

“Oh, you mean the one in the central research lab? Well, it’s the only way to get here, so I couldn’t miss it.”

Dahit gently relaxed his tired hands.

“But it seems that although you have figured out that the wizard has no magical circuits, you have not realized the true value of that corpse.”

"……appreciation?"

“What we find from the corpse of that ancient wizard will change the world of magic. By me. Yes, the world from now on will be based on me. No one will forget me.”

In the eyes of the dark moon that was so confident, endless madness was overflowing.

“Of course you will be a part of it. If you cannot be remembered forever, it is worthwhile to be a cornerstone of that memory. I promise you that I will never desecrate your remains.”

“I’m sorry, but I have to decline.”

I was a test subject while alive, and now I'm a test subject after death.

That kind of thing is unacceptable.

Verden glanced down.

'Dahit's territory has been considerably reduced. It seems that the consumption is large. Then, if we seal the subsequent magic with the fourth star, the Sage, and take the initiative… … .'

Since the magic war is not over yet, I considered the next move, and the next move, and the next move.

At that time, things changed abruptly.

────!

Beyond the second gate behind Verden, the magic of nature stirs.

It means only one thing.

[Eternal Hourglass], which contains all of the research records of Black Hour, has escaped the chain of change.

'It worked. Adrian, Isabella, Alpha.'

Dahit clicked his tongue.

“Even though I prepared, they were taken away. They’re useless… No, it would be more correct to say that the ones you brought were more useful. It seems like they even destroyed the magic circle I created.”

but.

“Honestly, does it matter? No matter what happens elsewhere, if you can’t escape my grasp, it’s useless.”

That's right.

Not only is Verden important, but you cannot leave the Great Hall without the <Gate>.

“Well, I guess it’s better to be sure.”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The black flame of <개기식>, which was about half of what was left at the beginning, began to burn and move, and then all of it gathered at Dahit's feet.

Huge density.

There was no need to check. This was a sign of super magic.

“As you know, I tried not to use super magic because it consumes a lot of energy… but this seems the most suitable here. So, what are we going to do now? Are we going to counter it with the same super magic?”

Verden took a deep breath.

I was lost in thought for a moment.

'If you cast the super magic that was completed a while ago, you can cancel them all out.'

It may even be possible to turn the situation around by fatally wounding Dahit.

Although it is not a guarantee, the possibility is by no means small.

'But the first priority is to escape.'

The goal has already been achieved.

So, hiding the most important cards for the final battle with Dahit will be a factor that will increase the chances of winning in the end.

However, in order to leave the Great Hall, you must subdue Dahit.

At least, so that they don't persistently interfere while I'm on the run.

It was at this very moment that Verden was carefully considering the paddles remaining in his hand.

'… … ! Yes, if that's the possibility.'

A new idea occurred to me.

The best means.

I was convinced that there was no better solution to this situation.

Kuuung!

After a moment of hesitation, Verden made a decision, grabbed the staff with both hands, and hit the floor hard.

“Open up a new world, Intelis.”

A soft ringing of the starting gun.

Interis lit up.
