Chapter 650 Mutual Recognition (2)
To be precise, spatial movement means moving to specific spatial coordinates.
To deploy this with magic like
, the key is to first formulate the world into three coordinates of width, length, and height.
And while researching the high-tier magic of the spatial system created by Balok, Berden recognized another core beyond the core.
That is the composition and formation of the 4th dimension.
Since the world is basically composed of three dimensions, beings belonging to that world can only perceive up to three dimensions sensuously.
Because the shape of the 4th dimension does not exist in reality, it remains in the realm of imagination.
Nevertheless, Balok Besias materialized the idea of the 4th dimension into a law and succeeded in realizing the fantasy in the form of high-tier magic.
This was a milestone.
Regardless of the emotions involved.
Anyway, although Berden had not yet completed the high-tier magic that allows free entry into the 4th dimension, he understood the entire theory.
Understanding soon leads to possibility, and the Demonic Path of Infinity completes the possibility.
Berden's progress this time was the independent implementation of 4th-dimensional coordinates.
Of course, there are many restrictions.
The distance possible for the formation of new spatial coordinates is short, it places a heavy burden on the body, and no one other than Berden can use it, and so on…….
Still, it is significant in that high-level spatial movement has become possible.
Berden named this ‘
’, a higher-level magic than
.
‘Even if the magical senses have been artificially strengthened, they cannot react at all since no spatial ripples are generated.’ (Verden)
Berden raised his gaze. In a fleeting moment, the transplantee whose chest was pierced looked down at his own body with a panicked face.
Blood boiled from inside his throat as his left lung and heart were torn out entirely.
“This is…… De, Demonic Path ……? Clearly, it was a Demonic Path specialized in elements……” (Transplant)
That was his last statement.
As the 7th-tier flames enveloped Berden as if to protect his entire body, the body of the transplant in contact with him burned from the inside.
Although his magic resistance is considerable, his internal resistance cannot be equally considerable.
There was no time to even scream in a final death cry. All the tissues composing the body blazed and then completely collapsed soon after.

Not a single drop of blood was stained on Berden's hand, which was extended toward the void. Gray ash fluttered around the pitch-black glove.
‘Even though I shortened the duration as much as possible, the recoil of
is heavy.’ (Verden)
If an object with low resistance had looked into the dimension, it would have collapsed materially.
Just like some of the airships of the Bohemirn Magic Tower that were destroyed while entering the Grand Hall through the 4th dimension and the mages who were on those airships…….
Etching the current sensation into his memory, Berden turned his head.
The remaining three transplants were charging all at once. There was not a single hint of hesitation even at the sudden death of their comrade.
From the start, there was no chance of them having a sense of camaraderie.
A chaotic battle unfolded.
Unknown techniques followed by ultimate skills, elemental magic accompanied by Quadra Casting, and black magic that damages and destroys the mind flew in, but none achieved their purpose.
Thud!
The head of the one whose mouth was torn exploded in a single blow, and the left half of the body of the one whose eyes and mouth were sewn was crushed as if pulverized.
The one with the great sword put up a decent fight in his own way, but his body eventually twisted while defending against
overlapped with Quintupled Casting.
K-boom!
The transplants, who were sent flying in all directions, crashed into the ground. But strangely, not one of them reached death.
In particular, a new head was growing from the neck of the one whose head had disappeared.
Berden observed the process.
‘Unlike those who had Gluttony's Stomach transplanted, there is no feeling of immortality. The way they regenerate is also subtly different for each.’ (Verden)
Ordinary people are bound to die if their head or heart disappears, but those parts did not seem to be very fatal to them.
Destroying the entire body, just like the transplant he killed moments ago, would be most effective.
‘As expected, for the grandiose name of Demon Race, there is nothing else worth noting.’ (Verden)
They are not much different from high-level transplants.
If one were to pick out the differences, it was only the abilities stemming from the body.
Enough stamina and mana to cast various techniques and high-tier magic without stint, a body showing movements impossible even for a transplant, a physical structure where fatal parts are not specified…….
Overall, how should I put it.
Although the Demon Race was said to be a race mixed with humans and heteromorphs, they looked as if the two were not mixed and were playing separately.
‘In other words, they are not completed experiment subjects?’ (Verden)
Perhaps the reason the First Fang, Ballion Freya, engaged in a skirmish was to test the Demon Race-related experiment subjects, in addition to obtaining information about the Ark.
Furthermore, he might be trying to dispose of the failed experiments usefully this time.
Anyway.
Since Isabella must have grasped all the structure and essence of the new transplants, there was no need to look closely any further.
Not even several tens of seconds had passed.
Thud, thud.
The transplant with the sword, who finished regenerating first, stood up. His face, covered in scars, was stained with bewilderment.
Even though he had poured out techniques and even ultimate skills with a body that had become incomparably stronger than before…….
Does this make sense?

If he hadn't been able to even approach from the start, he could at least understand. Whatever the case, the opponent is a Transcendent of the magic world.
He cannot be handled at long range.
However, even though he narrowed the distance to the limit, he couldn't reach him at all. His shock at being devastated transformed into anger.
Consequently, Barigant of the Central Continent's Four Powers, the very person who threw him into Kernadel Prison, came to mind.
Clench.
The transplant gripped his two swords tightly and raised his head, and whether by chance or necessity, the sky suddenly caught his eye.
The moment he saw it, he couldn't move.
‘What is that…….’ (Transplant)
A massive, bluish-white storm was covering the sky. Blue electric currents flashed between the clouds, but there was no sound.
An indescribable Great Nature was staring blankly down at the ground.
It is an undeniable fact that Berden is the youngest among the current magic world's Transcendents in terms of time, and he is clearly the youngest.
However, it is also self-evident that he is a world-class powerhouse.
Engaging in a life-or-death battle with Dahit Wesloel, executing Balok Besias, in-depth research on the Demonic Path and magic, sparring with Adrian, and so on…… his efforts had melted completely into his talent.
The current Berden is stronger than at any time in the past. As it has always been.
The present is the peak.
“I suppose the only thing you can boast of as a Demon Race is resistance, but I wonder how long you can hold out.” (Verden)
Berden lightly lifted [Interis] and then tapped the ground.
Heavenly Punishment of Earth-Shaking.
Deep blue brilliance falling from the sky colored the world white. Thunderous power and pressure befitting the rank punished the earth.
The transplant, who had been smiling all the while, was hit directly and vanished without a trace. The two transplants who were defending from a distance survived even as their bodies exploded.
The result was quite something.
Since it meant there was a possibility of surviving the aftermath of the 7th rank as long as it wasn't a direct hit.
Second strike.
The transplant, who had maintained silence along with the thunder, evaporated.
The last transplant, who had fled desperately and formed a qi barrier with all his might, had his lower body blown away as if on display.
His two swords melted while glowing red from the immense heat, and smoke was rising from his blackened arms.
“St, stop……” (Transplant)
He is still alive.
‘It won't be a problem at all for a Transcendent, but personnel belonging below the middle rank in national-level forces will find them a bit cumbersome to handle.’ (Verden)
Of course, because the techniques of the transplants did not keep up with their own bodies, they couldn't be called strong enemies unless they were in large numbers.
Thus making a comprehensive evaluation, Berden turned his back.
Third strike.
The pillar of lightning that fell last filled the transplant's field of vision. It was a bolt of lightning that could not even be compared with Barigant, who was nicknamed the Blue Terror on the battlefield.
K-boom!
A radius of several tens of meters from the place where the hill used to be became a shambles. Both Gluttony and the Ark witnessed that sight.
—
Before the sound of cutting the wind could even be heard, sword marks were etched in the forest.
While trees severed in a single stroke collapsed while spraying sap, countless leaves and branches fell in a shower from above.
Screeech!
Sparks flew the moment Adrian and Ballion brushed past each other. Each kicked off the ground and trees, rotated in reverse, and then charged.
The light sword and two biological blades harmonized, and the atmosphere trembled.
“Adrian Chambers. You appeared after becoming a Transcendent, and as expected. Your rank has certainly changed compared to when you were a greenhorn called the Heavenly Sword.” (Ballion)
“Even if you are a clone, you are nothing special for the head of Gluttony.” (Adrian)
As Ballion's right blade surged upward aiming for the abdomen, Adrian rotated and extended his light sword long.
Purple sword qi cuts a diagonal line. Ballion, who avoided this by twisting his head, raised both elbows extremely high.
Hwia (撝牙)
Gluttony's claws crossed as they cut through the void. It looked as if they were biting the neck of a prey.
The trajectory of the technique tore the forest apart. Rocks were crushed, and a bird fleeing the great disturbance was left sprawled with only its head and legs remaining.
“Is that speed your full power?” (Ballion)
Ballion turned his head. Adrian, who had caught Ballion's back in the blink of an eye, replied while holding the light sword with both hands.
“No.” (Adrian)
Wild Dance
Countless bursts of sword qi covered Ballion. With afterimages and the real thing mixed together, it is impossible to distinguish the trajectory with the naked eye.
Next, Adrian gripped the light sword with a reverse grip and put weight on his front toes.
Purple Smash
At the moment he stopped the light sword rapidly after swinging it halfway, a purple shockwave burst out. A technique emphasizing impact rather than cutting.
It was one of the new techniques he had recently mastered.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Ballion was sent flying a great distance and made a mess of the forest with his back. Then, regaining his balance, he leaped high into the sky.
Blood flowed from the wounds etched all over his body, and although several ribs were shattered, they had already begun to heal.
From the start, the Ballion here is not the main body, as Berden pointed out.
Since it was a clone formed with the authority possessed by Gluttony's cerebellum, it did not matter what wounds he suffered or if his body vanished.
But regardless of that, Ballion was not pleased with the current situation.
‘……What is this?’ (Ballion)
The time when Adrian Chambers achieved transcendence is very recent. Even looking at the circumstances in detail, it does not exceed one year.
Yet his movements were as if he had already finished adapting to the body that had undergone awakening. Normally, it would take several years to become completely stable.
This point was the same for Berden.
Soon after, Ballion, who escaped the forest, came to a dead stop in place.
‘These guys, they are somehow different from the existing Transcendents.’ (Ballion)
Berden, who had processed the transplants by casting 7th-tier magic in succession, was blocking the front with a nonchalant face.
Adrian, who pursued Ballion in an instant, took control of the rear.
Ballion spoke.
“I thought you'd at least be able to catch my ankles for a while. I suppose you were woefully insufficient.” (Ballion)
“What did you expect from such experiment subjects?” (Adrian)
Berden approached with
as if he had no intention of conversing further. Simultaneously, Adrian also dashed fiercely.
It was the first time since the bone dragon that the two of them harmonized to target a single being simultaneously.
It was even more so after becoming Transcendents.
K-boom! Crack——Snap!
Berden and Adrian pushed Ballion without fail. They manifested their power in their respective positions without even connecting their thoughts.
A spatial spear blade that rose from [Interis] collided with the biological blade.
Seeing it resist the cutting power of the spatial attribute, it seemed this was also a part classified as an organ of Gluttony.
Berden lowered his posture and half-severed Ballion's ankle, and simultaneously Adrian cut Ballion's torso deeply.
Then, while rotating, they continued the hunt from the front, back, and both sides.
Laceration
Ballion swung his red blades indiscriminately to block access. Then, as if waiting, an elemental bombardment fell.
Ballion knelt on one knee at the immense power.
If access is allowed, the cooperation of the two Transcendents, if kept far away, an endless bombardment…….
As soon as he finished regenerating, Ballion dashed in the direction of the Ark fleet. He aimed for a chaotic battle where allies and enemies were entangled.
At that moment, rune chains flew from somewhere and pierced Ballion's body.
“Where are you going?” (Acetro)
“Ugh.” (Ballion)
Acetro, who had handled the super-giant Stone Eater, twisted his wrist wearing the bracelet.
The rune chains reacted and partially paralyzed Ballion's bodily functions. Sensing a sharp presence, Ballion swung his arm to the side.
Slice.
Adrian's light sword severed both of Ballion's arms. Two forearms with Gluttony's claws attached fell to the ground.
Berden's palm, having crossed space, touched the exact center of Ballion's back. If magic were emitted here, the fellow would die instantly.
‘But I cannot let you go easily like this.’ (Verden)
The consciousness of the main body and the clone must have been connected in some way. And the influence of the concept held by Berden's second Demonic Path is not limited to matter.
Wave of destruction.
Ballion's clone exploded.
