[181] Riot (7)
Arbes also felt the barrier shaking.
Arbes, who had completed the magic circle and was infusing it with magic, trembled slightly from the vibration.
Then he looked around in disbelief.
Arbes could see the magic power fluctuating. Arbes narrowed his eyes.
“You weren’t a rat.”
Arbes muttered and raised both hands. As he moved his lips and lightly touched the empty space, a pitch-black sphere appeared where Arbes touched with his hand.
It will automatically flow magic power into the magic circle without Arbes having to control it, and the magic circle that has received enough magic will operate and draw all the magic power of this land.
“Stand in the center.”
Arbes ordered Aine to do so.
Aine, who was imprinted with obedience, nodded her head without refusal and did as Arbes told her.
After placing Aine in the center of the magic circle, Arbes made the seal again.
Pajik!
A black electric current surged through the space, and a powerful defensive barrier trapped Aine and the entire magic circle.
It was to protect the magic circle and Aine in case of an emergency.
After that, Arbes continued his preparations as usual. Although this is my first time here, an archmage like Arbes is not particularly concerned about the location.
And the most important preliminary preparation was already done by drawing the magic circle.
The reason they chose the central square of Eormuri was because it had the largest vein of mana in the city.
The black sphere that flows magical power into the magic circle is connected to the vein of mana.
Arbes stretched out his hand toward the black sphere.
hug!
A small black blob protruding from the surface of the sphere approached Arbes.
It met Arbes’s palm and was absorbed.
“Connected.”
Arbes muttered with a wry smile. He reconnected himself with the sphere that connected him with the vein of mana.
With that, Arbes can draw on the magical power of the land itself.
I wondered to myself, “Is it really necessary to do this?”
The magic power that Arbes has accumulated over hundreds of years is so great that there is no need to draw magic power from the vein of mana.
But there is plenty of time anyway.
There is nothing wrong with preparing as thoroughly as you can.
Preparations continued.
Arbes moved his lips and made a series of hand signs. The prepared magic does not appear immediately, but hides itself in a gap in space.
There are two taboos when fighting a wizard.
Do not enter the wizard’s realm. Don’t give the wizard any time.
Arbes knew this very well, and he also knew that he was in an absolutely advantageous position.
This central square was Arbes’ territory and there was plenty of time.
Envirus also knew that well.
He stopped flying. A huge magical force is stirring not far away.
What is waiting in the central square is probably a warlock who has reached the greatest level in the world.
No, probably definitely not.
Envirus was confident in him. As far as Envirus knows, only one person has reached that area. A two-faced sage.
“Arbes.”
Envirus muttered that name for the first time in a long time.
Arbes will not know the identity of Envirus. It was natural for him.
The Envirus that Arbes knew and the Envirus of today are completely different.
Envirus put a lot of effort into escaping from the inescapable power of fate.
But that is of no use now. I met Lee Seong-min, the owner of such a strong power of fate.
What Seongmin Lee had was not an individual’s destiny, but the destiny of the whole.
The fate of this entire world is tied to Lee Seong-min.
I met him hesitantly, but I don’t regret meeting him.
In the end, fate means you don’t know what will happen. The only thing left to worry about. What kind of person will Lee Sung-min become? What direction will his fate take?
For a moment, Envirus hesitated.
About whether it is really okay to do it. But the hesitation was short-lived. You can’t pretend not to know.
Is this fate too? Envirus let out a heartless laugh as he thought about that.
“Laplace.”
Envirus opened his mouth. Then the shadow stirred beneath his feet and a man stood up.
The man who appeared like that was an Erebrisa broker, but he was showing a different feeling from other Erebrisa brokers, including Nevel.
Laplace stood without lowering his head and looked at Envirus.
“You called me.”
Laplace opened his mouth.
“I guess it’s to take back what was entrusted to us, right?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know what that means?”
Laplace made a laughing sound.
Envirus slowly nodded his head.
A long time ago, Envirus met with unknown people called Erebrisa.
With those who created Erebrisa, not with middlemen. After meeting them, Envirus succeeded in making a deal with them.

“It’s 100 years.”
Laplace said: The white-gloved hands were wide open.
Pajik!
A pure white electric current flowed, and a sphere with a faint light appeared on Laplace’s palm.
It was something that Envirus had entrusted to Erebrisa 100 years ago. Envirus looked at it with a confused face.
“Do you know what it means to get this back?”
“know.”
“I don’t understand. Still, you want to get it back? “It is because you left this to us that you barely escaped your fate.”
“yes.”
“It was a ridiculous deal. At the time, the Queen of Spirits asked ‘us’ directly, so she accepted the ridiculous deal… … I won’t listen to that kind of pressure anymore. Because back then, I had already obtained what I needed from the Spirit Queen. “No matter what you offer, we will never accept a deal like this again.”
“I know that too.”
Envirus answered while sighing. Laplace said no more.
He slowly held the sphere forward, and Envirus also opened both hands to receive the sphere.
“I guess you’ve given up struggling?”
“Because I had no choice.”
Envirus muttered that and opened its mouth wide.
Then he stuffed the sphere into his mouth. Laplace clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“I don’t know if I’ll see you again next time. The Queen of Spirits will be sad.”
Laplace left those words and disappeared. The light disappeared from Envirus’ eyes as he swallowed his sphere.
What Envirus entrusted to Erebrisa 100 years ago was none other than himself.
100 years since then. Envy Ruth has lived a life of being himself and not being himself.
Through it, Envirus was able to escape from his own fate and the enormous power of fate that flows throughout this world.
But not anymore.
Envirus, who had escaped from the power of fate after meeting Lee Seong-min, became caught up in the power of fate again, and came to embrace his personal destiny as he returned the ‘me’ he had entrusted to Erebrisa.
That was why Envirus’ causality was distorted.
‘There isn’t much left.’
The light returned to Envirus’ eyes. Envy Ruth lifted his bowed head.
There were faint traces of emotion on Envirus’ face.
Envirus looked down at the wand he was holding in his hand. There is no need for this anymore.
Envirus held the wand with both hands and broke it.
An enormous amount of mana poured out from the broken cut surface and returned to Envirus’ body.
It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in 100 years. Envirus looked up at the sky with confused eyes.
The fate that Envirus sought to escape was that of a catastrophic death.
Someday, definitely.
Envirus meets a catastrophic death. As long as you are alive, it is natural that you will die someday, and most people struggle to avoid death if they learn about it.
Envirus was like that too.
Entrusting ‘me’ to Erebrisa meant entrusting the fate that belonged to her as well.
It meant losing all the magical power and magical abilities that had been accumulated over a long period of time.
100 years since then. Envirus learned magic again from the beginning. But he never reached the level of his former self.
‘Probably not yet.’
Envirus smiled bitterly and thought.
At least right now, it didn’t seem like I was going to meet that fateful, catastrophic death.
“… … Unbelievable!”
Arbes’ face, who was preparing for battle, turned white.
He jerked and turned his head.
Although he couldn’t see it yet, Arbes could definitely feel it. The being that was approaching here just a moment ago wasn’t that great.
It seemed good enough to be called an archmage, but it wasn’t enough for Arbes to be wary of.
But not now. It was unclear what had happened, but the level of the approaching wizard was higher than that of Arbes.
It was unbelievable.
Among existing wizards, there is no wizard with greater skills than Arbes.
Even those who boasted about being the magic tower lords of the wizard’s guild were, in Arbes’ eyes, no more than children.
‘no way.’
Thinking of a certain name, Arbes’ face distorted. He was the only one.
However, 100 years have already passed since he has not been seen.
But you showed up now? why?
Arbes couldn’t understand, but he quickly finished preparing the magic.
If the opponent was really that guy, Arbes would have to prepare for the worst.
The prediction came true.
Arbes’ expression hardened when he saw Envirus approaching the square.
Arbes twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, showing his teeth. Although it was different from the face Arbes remembered, 100 years had passed, so that much could be understood.
However, even though the face changed, Arbes was able to tell who Envirus was.
This was because of the unique tattoos engraved on Envirus’ arms.
“Cain… … !”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been called that.”
Envirus muttered.
Cain is a name used 100 years ago.
Envirus looked at Arbes with a bitter smile. Just as he thought, what was here was Arbes, one of the Predator’s black stars.
The tattoos on Envirus’ arms began to wriggle.
“What on earth are you trying to do here?”
“What on earth have you been doing for 100 years?”
Each person asked different things. Just as Envirus did not respond, Arbes also did not respond.
It was a meaningless question to begin with.
Arbes immediately signed the contract. The magic I had prepared was immediately revealed.
Originally, chanting was required at the same time as the hand seal, but thanks to the magic being prepared in advance, the chanting was omitted.
Quaaaaa!
Black flames engulfed Envirus. That flame is a hellish flame that burns everything it touches.
Just as Arbes did not chant, Envirus did not chant either.
Now that he has regained his days as Cain, he was a great wizard who was praised as the strongest 100 years ago.
Envirus pointed his wide open left hand forward. A black geometric tattoo wriggled on Envirus’ left forearm.
It wasn’t just a tattoo. It was a series of countless small, engraved letters placed close together to look like a pattern.
A white curtain was created through the outstretched palm. With that, Envirus slowed down the speed of the flame and rotated the index finger of his right hand extended downward.
The horribly cold air turned into fog and drifted around Envirus.
Pabababak!
Within the stream of fog, hundreds of ice volcanoes exploded on Arbes.
As if he had been waiting, Arbes signed his hand. The flames blocked by the curtain spread to the side and burned all of the ice arrows.
Without stopping there, Arbes changed the form of the beastman.
Rumbling!
The earth is shaking. The earthquake began. The ground around Envirus cracked, and black vines sprouted out.
A vine full of poisonous thorns tried to wrap around Envirus’ body.
No Yeongchang (無詠唱).
This was a specialty that only Cain could do among many wizards.
Although it is not as good as a dragon’s ability to manifest magic with just a word, among all the wizards that have ever existed, Cain was the only one who could perform magic without a chant.
This was possible because magic was calculated into letters, and all the letters used were tattooed on both arms.
When Cain was entrusted to Erebrisa, the magic power of Muchanchang was lost.
Instead, when he was Cain, he used a wand containing magical power as a staff, learned magic through his previous memories, and lived as Envirus.
However, the abilities of Cain and Envirus are worlds apart. Cain moved his hand without the slightest embarrassment.
Let’s go!
The vines that tried to entangle the body turned into powder and scattered.
