‘That was stupid! shit! I can’t think of that? Have you left the wizard sign down for too long?’
Leppenhardt beat himself up while flying frantically. Dreza’s presence had already passed beyond the area where his magic could be detected, so nothing could be felt.
‘As expected, the instantaneous horsepower is low, so I can’t keep up with the speed.’
Wizards use magic as their source of power and use magic to create miracles. And when working with magic, it is not possible for a wizard to produce all of his or her magical power at once.
Let’s say you are lifting a heavy stone.
An individual lifts a stone weighing several tens of kilograms using all of his or her strength. This is the maximum weight he can lift. It’s safe to say that I literally did my best.
So, does the person carrying that stone not have a single ounce of strength left in their body?
That’s not it. Although I lost a lot of my strength, I can lift a stone of the same weight again if I relax my arms a little.
Horsepower is also similar.
The maximum amount of magical power that can be drawn out instantly is called the instantaneous magical power in magic. It is a separate concept from the total magical power, which refers to all the magical power he possesses.
The speed of the flying magic fly is proportional to the instantaneous amount of magic power, and the duration is proportional to the total amount of magic power.
Usually, the instantaneous horsepower increases in proportion to the total horsepower, and Dreza, who has a higher total horsepower than the current Reppenhardt, also has a correspondingly higher instantaneous horsepower. The speed of flight magic is also much faster.
As it happened, it was just the time when the Antares Army and the Holy Army were about to begin the battle. If you are unlucky, Dreza will cause enormous damage.
‘Damn it, I need to catch up as much as I can!’
Concentrating his mind, Reppenhardt gradually increased his speed.
Although it was inferior in terms of total horsepower, there were no shortcuts when it came to instantaneous horsepower. Although he had improved a lot, his magic power was still low compared to Reppenhardt’s level, and he had a spell that temporarily increased the output of magic power.
“Taaaaaat!”
With great spirit, Reppenhardt gradually increased his speed and split the air. Arriving at the eastern plateau at such incredible speed, the battle was in full swing and Iniya was about to be hit.
I frantically intervened, spraying blows everywhere and looking around, what is this?
‘what?’
To our dismay, Dreza was not there. Reppenhardt, who was dumbfounded for a moment, soon realized what he had overlooked.
‘Oh right! ‘Isn’t that inspiration just an ordinary person’s body?’
☆ ☆ ☆
The reason why Dreza started first and arrived later when the much faster Dreza arrived was simple.
Obviously, with Dreza’s magic power, he could withstand casting the flying magic Fly all day long.
However, Dreza’s physical strength cannot withstand the flight for an entire day.
Flying magic is not just about floating in the air and flying comfortably as if you were lying on a bed. You have to keep concentrating on your magic, you have to control your posture, and it’s a labor that uses your entire body’s muscles.
No matter how much he is the ultimate great mage, Master Dreza of the 9th Circle, his body is that of an ordinary person, or even worse, that of an old man who has aged completely. So Dreza flew for about 20 minutes, then came down for about 10 minutes to catch his breath, and then flew up again, repeating the process.
In comparison, Repenhardt’s body was in a state where no further words were needed, so of course he arrived first.
“After I developed a body like this, I started to overlook the physical strength of an ordinary wizard.”
Floating in the air, Reppenhardt smiled bitterly.
In his previous life, like Drezha, he suffered from physical exhaustion after flying for about 30 minutes, but after entering this body, he completely forgot about it?
Dreza frowned as he watched Reppenhardt say something unintelligible.
“what are you talking about?”
There was no need to explain, so Reppenhardt answered vaguely.
“You’re saying thank you for being weak, old man.”
I don’t know what he was talking about, but it was clear that he was at least insulting me. Drezza gritted his teeth.
“joy! “You’re just like my master, talking unintelligible nonsense!”
Dreza raised both hands with clear anger in his eyes. Formidable magical power is contained in both hands and shines.
Dreza shouted at Reppenhardt with unwavering hatred.
“It was nice to meet you, the king of our time! Blame your master in the underworld!”

Dreza became an archmage quite early, in his mid-40s. Dreza, who was in the 8th Circle at the time, was proudly recognized as an archmage by the Mara Grande Society and spread his reputation throughout the continent.
Afterwards, like most powerful wizards, he did his best to improve his skills by exploring dungeons and accumulating wealth and ancient knowledge.
Meanwhile, at the ancient ruins of Crossod, located in the central part of the Teikan Kingdom, Dreza’s exploration party coincidentally met another exploration party that entered the dungeon together.
In this case, the common sense of the continent usually gives priority to the person who entered the dungeon first.
But this time things were a little different. Because they entered through different entrances and even the date was the same, it was difficult to determine which side had priority.
At the time, Dreza was a high-ranking wizard and had nothing to fear in the world. The exploration team he led was also gaining fame, receiving support from the Duchy of Rastill.
On the other hand, the opposing exploration team was a newly formed knighthood, and in that case, they were baron-born low-ranking nobles.
Drezza said arrogantly.
-I am Dreza of Mara Grande, and I touched this dungeon first! If you don’t want to experience the power of great magic, then step away!
However, the other exploration team, which seemed to be nothing special, did not dare to mess with Dreza’s reputation.
-joy! Although the date is the same, we arrived in the morning and you arrived in the afternoon, right? How can you then claim priority?
It wasn’t wrong. Although it was only a few hours apart, the opposing exploration team clearly entered first.
However, here it is ‘Ah, I see. Then, have a good time at work.’ If he had just said that and stepped down, he wouldn’t have been called arrogant.
Naturally, Dreza was furious.
-What do these people believe in and are blocking my path?
Indeed, they had something to believe in. A middle-aged man with a tower-like build stood silently behind them.
Those who became newly nobles through commerce spent a lot of money to invite trustworthy outsiders to their first dungeon exploration.
The exploration leader bowed his head towards the outsider.
-please!
The problem was that the trustworthy outsider showed a very undesirable attitude.
-There was no mention of this being against an archmage? It’s against the contract, right?
-Big! I’ll give you double the agreed amount!
-Ah, but dealing with an archmage with two ships is a bit… … .
-Three times! No, I will give you your stomach!
As soon as the word ‘four times’ was said, the middle-aged man’s expression changed completely.
-It will be over soon.

Afterwards, Dreza entered into a life-and-death struggle with Gerard, the king of the time, whom he had only heard about. No, to be honest, it wasn’t even a struggle. He was just touched appropriately.
Compared to Gerard, who had already mastered the 6-stack Calamity Soul, Dreza, who had just become an archmage at the time, was at a slightly lower level. Because she was a few years younger, she had less training time.
Fortunately, unlike other warriors, Dreza was able to save his life because he was a wizard.
Gerard also knew well that wizards were particularly weak compared to other humans. Unbreakable is a burden that can be easily defeated by an adult, but it does not even reach out to weak women. And by Gerard’s standards, wizards were servants belonging to the ‘women’s class.’
All the flying magic was replaced with a spiral guard, and I just touched Dreza’s body here and there with my fingers.
The problem was that every time those fingers touched Dreza, it resulted in bruising, muscle strain, and broken bones.
-Gagging! Ahh! Ugh! Save people!
After a while, after handing over Dreza, who had become a piece of a rag, to the exploration team, Gerard spoke politely.
-Even though something happened like this, it won’t be life-threatening. Take good care of it.
Gerrard had no ill feelings toward Dreza, and his tone of voice was very polite, even though they only met by chance.
-I curse! Jim Unbreakable! I curse you! I will definitely take revenge! Gerard!
Gerard continued speaking calmly, ignoring Dreza’s cries, which were full of bad feelings.
-If you take good care of yourself for three days, you will feel better.
It took three months to be completely cured… … .
Jim Unbreakable. Even a serious injury like that would heal in three days.
However, it is an injury so severe that an ordinary person would be unable to get out of bed for the rest of their life. If the Duchy of Rasteel had not invited the mountain titan, the Pope of the Atlas Church, to heal him, he would have been crippled.
Due to that connection, Dreza became the royal wizard of the Duchy of Rastil. And in order to repay the humiliation of that time, he devoted himself to magic again and again, eventually becoming the only 9th Circle Master on the continent.
“Gerard, uh, that damn Jim Unbreakable…” … !”
Thinking back to that time, the old man’s face turned red as if his blood pressure was rising again. For some reason, Reppenhardt was shocked because it was an expression he had seen before somewhere.
‘Does that nobleman also have a grudge with Master?’
Just looking at it, it’s Banatel’s facial expression towards Gerard. It seemed as if the resentment was deep down to the bone.
Dreza gritted his teeth at Reppenhardt.
“I devoted my whole life to revenge… … .”
Even if you are a great wizard of the 8th circle, your odds of winning against the King of Powers are low. So Dreza did not carelessly search for Gerrard until he entered the 9th circle.
After getting into the 9th circle and feeling confident, I couldn’t see Gerrard this time. At the time, Gerard was stuck in a mountainous valley teaching young Tethron.
I was anxious that I would not be able to repay the humiliation for the rest of my life.
“Even though I heard the news about my disciple, he actually disappeared somewhere, but then he crawled out.”
After hearing of the confrontation between Banatel and Gerard, Dreza immediately tried to fly to the Principality of Antares. At that time, King Rastill stopped him.
From the Prince’s point of view, he had no choice but to stop the Master of the 9th Circle, the principality’s most valuable asset, from risking his life in a fight that had no benefit. Moreover, if he were to challenge one country alone, wouldn’t his chances of winning, no matter how much he did it, be slim?
-No! Lord Dreza! Why are you trying to pick a fight with Emperor Kwon?
-Please send it, Your Majesty! It’s just a personal thing!
-Lord Dreza is no longer a private body! Please think of the subjects of the Duchy of Rastill!
-No, is the principality going to fail without me? Please send some!
-You can’t send it!
-Put this down, the robe will come off.
-I can’t let go!
In the majestic royal palace, the king of a nation clings to the hem of his robe, and it is something that even the most self-indulgent Drezha cannot ignore. In the end, I gave up.
But the Bashtalon Empire gave us another chance.
“As expected, the sky is not indifferent.”
Even King Lastil could not say anything about his claim that he would step forward for Sayre. It’s just that ‘a nobleman who doesn’t usually go to temples is quite shameless…’ … .’ He just babbles.
Since he was participating in the war as part of the empire, he was not in a situation where he was fighting against a nation alone, so the King of Kong eventually gave his permission.
Dreza laughed with joy.
“Hehe, it’s a shame that Gerard isn’t there, but it’s still the same as Unbreakable. “He might as well get a little rehearsal before he goes with him!”
Although Leppenhardt did not know the details, he could roughly guess the situation just from Dreza’s words.
‘no wonder… … I was wondering why Dreja, who was not even a Sayer believer, participated in the war… … .’
Although the Empire’s influence is strong in the Duchy of Rastill, it is still an independent country. There was no way an archmage like Dreza would join the war under pressure from the Empire, so I wondered what was going on.
‘It was just a personal grudge, right?’
Because of that personal grudge, the Principality of Antares turned against the strongest wizard on the continent.
Reppenhardt slumped his shoulders, thinking of his master who would be on the western front in Crovence by now.
‘No, this guy has no help in life.’
After I found out the truth, I lost all my strength.
‘Have you always been fighting with the strong men of the continent? huh? Have you ever been friends with each other? ‘I heard that warriors usually compare each other’s strengths, build friendships, and drink together?’
