A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 124
Descendants of Warriors (4)
‘The Guardian’s power is nothing more than a slightly more advanced magical technology.’
It was a very famous quote that the ancestor of the old Einglass said while creating the Ending Magic.
In the distant past, the Guardian’s power seemed like an object of absolute fear, but in modern times, this is not the case at all.
The modern conclusion was that they were born with special, destructive, and great power, but that they were not an ‘absolute state’ that was impossible to reach with the human body.
“The power of the guardian. It seems like absolute power, but… … “There is no power in this world that cannot be magically destroyed.”
Although there are quite a few powers in the world that have not yet been able to magically destroy them, like the power of ‘Mirror Jane’, it was also a reality that solutions were emerging one by one.
“You are full of pride, Xelka Einglass.”
Perta concentrated red energy on her fingertips. Unlike regular magic, magic using blood energy is activated by carving red language into the air rather than drawing a magic circle in the shape of a circle.
Pachang!! The red thorns twisted around in the air and rushed towards Jelka, but a blue crystal-like shield surrounded his body and was easily blocked.
Tung-!!
“… … .”
Ferta trembled his eyebrows. Because I felt something strange, but wasn’t sure. He then clasped his hands together, gathered his energy, and stretched out his right hand.
Kwajangchang!! Red glass shards exploded and rushed towards Jelka like shotgun bullets, but this time they were also blocked by crystal shields created in various directions.
Meanwhile, the magic of Jelka was completed.
“Turn it over.”
Fragments of blue crystal rose up from the floor and rushed towards Perta from all directions. She hurriedly spread out her red thorns to block them, but as Aylka completed the ‘Blue Hole Tornado’, her blood shield slowly began to disintegrate.
“It’s not normal mana, so ‘Blue Hole’ doesn’t work properly.”
“doesn’t care!”
Citrine created a long golden spear and threw it, snapping her fingers.
Kwajak! At Citrine’s signal, the golden spear that had penetrated halfway through Perta’s shield began to burn gold and melt the shield.
“If you beat me until I die, that’s enough!”
Citrine then created another golden spear and was about to throw it when a red tentacle suddenly shot up from the floor and snatched her ankle, knocking her down.
“Ugh?!”
Citrine hurriedly cut off the tentacle with his golden blade and crawled back.
‘how… … ?’
When wizards use magic, they basically ‘expand the area’, so the area under their feet is almost never attacked.
Days had attacked Zelka’s ankle before, but that was only possible by intercepting the magic that Zelka was using. This method was never possible unless there was an overwhelming difference in level.
Citrine was hurriedly drawing a protective magic circle on the floor, but when a red chain flew in front of her, she became thoughtful and covered her face with her arms.
Tsk-!!
“Ugh… … .”
We managed to block it by erecting a golden barrier, but it almost caused a big problem.
When I looked to the side, Aylka seemed to be in a similar situation, lowering her posture and deploying her shield while sweating coldly.
However, Xelka was different.
The red tentacle that was trying to wrap around the ankle was blocked by the blue crystal shield and could not even get close.
‘Did they know in advance and stop it? … ?’
how?
Since the attack was completely blocked, there is room for the next spell to be cast.
Perta, who easily blocked the blue fragments thrown by Jelka, fired a red stream, but this time, it was also blocked by the crystal shield.
Perta glared at him with a displeased expression.
Aside from the fact that the shield magic was stronger than an ordinary shield, Zelka did not show any prior movements.
It was as if Mana moved on its own and opened a shield to protect Xelka.
“… … Does that mean ‘the end’?”
It looked exactly like the magic that Days had shown earlier.
At that time, as soon as the opponent’s magic was activated, Days used maximum defense power with minimum efficiency by shielding only the affected area.
However, the magic that Zelka is now performing is several steps more advanced than the magic shown by Days… … It was a ‘shield that activates without the user being conscious of it’!
“okay. This is my first end, the ‘end of protection.’”
The final message that Zelka Einglass set for himself was ‘I will never be attacked and I will never fall.’
The ‘power of language’ obtains energy from mana and protects Jelka.
Ferta’s eyebrows trembled slightly.
‘Is it possible for a human to embody that level of power?’
For Perta, who has lived her whole life thinking that only the power of the Guardian can rule the world, Zelka’s power goes too far… … It seemed like a violation of divinity.
“… … “That is not a power that humans can have without permission.”
It’s a joke!!
Red sparks filled the hallway, and Ferta’s eyes turned bright red.
‘Blood energy running rampant.’
The floor shakes and rises, and debris flies. However, the fragments are repeatedly blocked by Zelka’s end and cannot even make a dent in Citrine and Aylka.
“It’s insignificant. “Do you think that the level of your magic will increase if you flood your mana?”
“… … .”
When Perta raised both arms without answering, Zelka smiled and tried to deploy magic.
He had time to spare.
The composure that comes from the certainty that the end will never be broken.
However, the world was wide.
Tsk-tsk!!
There were many unusual magics.
“what… … !?”
Suddenly, the blue crystal shield was shattered with red streaks, and Jelka hurriedly took a step back and opened the normal shield.
‘The end has been broken… … ?’
Jelka’s complexion hardened. Even in the midst of embarrassment, he looked at his shield, which had been eroded by his blood, and analyzed it.
‘The deep power of malice contained in the blood traces… … .’
The blood spikes extending out were so fast that Xelka’s reaction speed could not possibly react, and their penetrating power was enough to easily pierce even a 3-star shield.
‘If it weren’t for the end of protection, it might have been dangerous… … .’
The advantage of the end of protection is that you don’t have to worry about defense, so you can freely deploy attack magic, but if the attack you receive is so powerful that it damages the shield, that advantage is lost.
“Prince Jelka. There is no point in fighting separately now. I think it would be a good idea to combine strategies.”
Zelka chewed his teeth at Aylka’s words. To be honest, I was relaxed at first. Even if Kanya and Perta joined forces, he thought he would be able to overcome it on his own.
‘I never thought blood would be at that level… … .’
A powerful destructive power that not even Jelka could have imagined.
I had to admit it.
Perta is stronger than she is now.
I don’t know how he used the Guardian’s power, but he possessed 5-star magical power.
“Tell me. “If you are from Ainglass, which has the closest relationship with the Guardians, you must have some kind of strategy.”
“… … .”
Zelka glanced at Ailka and Citrine. They were two girls she always thought were below her, but their magic had their own strengths that she could not unleash.
If you combine them all to form one strategy… … .
‘can win.’
Zelka closed his eyes tightly and admitted that it was not the time to be proud. She had to carry out an important mission to reclaim the stolen space of the Spire… … We had to defeat Perta as quickly as possible.
Finally, Jelka parted her lips.
“Perta. I have been keeping a close eye on your magic power since I entered school. “It was so unstable that I couldn’t control it.”
“Does not matter. Because power comes from the amount of magical power.”
“… … “No, it’s not.”
A boy made Zelka realize the reality she did not want to admit.
“The power of magic comes not from the amount of magic power, but from precise control ability.”
No matter how powerful a spell you throw at it, if it doesn’t hit the enemy, it can’t do any damage.
If you can hit the enemy accurately and inflict fatal wounds even if you spend very little mana, it becomes an even better attack magic.
“Little princess.”
“… … “Tell me.”
“Prepare ‘Wilzed’s Realm.’”
“!”
Citrine and Aylka’s eyes both widened at Zelka’s request.
Wilzed’s domain, a unique arcane magic unique to the Wilzed family that specializes in manipulating mana.
This was no different from wide-area ‘mana jamming’ that suppressed the use of magic by completely dispersing the mana within a specific space.
Citrine said with a puzzled expression.
“Casting that will make it harder for all of us to use magic. “It’s a wide-area magic that doesn’t identify enemies!”
Normal mana is like a lake.
Drawing water from a calm lake and drawing a magic circle was what was commonly referred to as ‘magic casting.’
However, Wilzed’s domain was the waves.
Dispersing the waterway so that it is difficult to draw… … . The Wilzed family is slightly immune because they receive special training to use magic even in mana storms, but Ainglass and Herael are not.
Zelka chuckled and pointed his staff at Ferta.
“Yes, it will be difficult. But it’s going to be harder for him than it is for us. With unstable magical power from the beginning… … Will we be able to withstand the waves of blue mana unleashed by the Wilzed family?”
Perta’s expression hardened as she noticed the unfavorable change, but it was too late.
Because Aylka’s ‘Wilzed Realm’ has already begun to activate.
“Well, you shouldn’t have abandoned your allies.”
Zelka is pointing to the fallen Kanya and Melz senior.
Seeing him like that, Citrine and Aylka looked bewildered.
‘Is this what Ji is going to do…? … ?’
* * *
Slowly! thud!
While cleaning up the remains of the broken safe, Harang stood up with difficulty and grabbed his left shoulder, which was not moving very well.
‘… … ‘I’m glad I have some divine power.’
The piercing wounds on the abdomen, shoulders, and thighs were forcibly filled using divine power. Of course, without professional medical skills, the best divine power could do was to trigger regenerative power and prevent bleeding, but even this was a good thing.
“Cough… … ! “This is a great blessing.”
Harang looked at the two mages who had fallen on the floor. Since they were incapable of using divine power, he showered them with expensive potions.
Bayaran, who had been pierced in the chest, appeared to be in critical condition, but seemed to be barely able to breathe thanks to the potion. Jayaran was also pierced through the dart, but recovered quickly and was not fatally injured.
“You won’t be able to move for a while.”
“okay… … The dantian is greatly damaged, so even if I wake up, I won’t be able to use magic for a while. That friend fainted… … .”
Although Xyrel broke into a cold sweat trying to endure the pain, he did not take his eyes off Harang.
‘Silver eyes… … ‘There is no doubt about it.’
How did the Caladun kin come to Spiers of Radiance? Even as a wizard.
furthermore.
“I can’t believe Estelle chose Caladorn’s bloodline. Haha, what a strange fate. I took so much care so that it wouldn’t be stolen by another family… … .”
Although it was absorbed by Harang, it had not yet been completely assimilated, so Xyrel could subtly feel Estel’s energy. Currently, Estelle was slowly becoming one with Harang in his heart.
“I already chose you as my master, so I can’t ask you to return it. However, please be careful. “Not much is known about Estelle, so if you push too hard right now, you might come back in big trouble.”
“… … Thank you for the advice.”
My heart was already beating violently from earlier, so I was worried about side effects. I knew I couldn’t force my body to move, but that didn’t mean I could just rest.
“I am… … .”
The moment Harang was about to part his lips, a small cloud of light leaked out nearby. When I turned my gaze, I saw a soft glow coming from the pure white safe, which was unblemished even in the aftermath of this rough fight.
“That… … ?”
Xyrel looked embarrassed.
“… … Can you guess what that is?”
Xairel thought about Harang’s question for a moment, but soon confessed honestly.
“This is the first vault built since the spire was built. It is said that the first owner of the Great Magic Tower at the time carefully kept the items given to him by his benefactor. Even if a 10-star great sage came, it would be a safe that couldn’t be easily breached… … “It has never radiated light before.”
“… … .”
Harang was able to guess its identity. Long ago, this was one of the [quest rewards] that the warrior Caladern had arranged for his descendants.
‘Why is Champion Kaladun’s belongings in the Spire?’
The era in which Kaladun was active was approximately 500 years ago, but the history of the Spire was much shorter than that.
Looking at the quest reward system so far, it appears that Kaladun has kept the rewards he arranged in a place where he can thoroughly manage them so that they do not leak out… … .
‘I don’t know why, but it doesn’t matter.’
Harang got up from his seat and with difficulty approached the safe.
“It’s an unopenable safe, so you’d better not go near it. The current Mage Tower owner also carelessly… … Oh, no?!”
Xairel, who was trying to stop Harang, opened his mouth speechless. As the boy approached the safe, an even darker light began to burst out from the safe that had been tightly closed for hundreds of years!
“How can that be…?” … !”
Crunch! Slam! Quickly!
The safe of pure white light broke down its shell on its own, as if it resonated with its owner.
The contents were something that even Xyrel, one of the Spire’s board members, had seen for the first time, so he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
‘metal… … ?!’
The safe gradually shrunk smaller and smaller, until it finally became a piece of metal slightly larger than a person’s forearm. As I was looking at it wondering if such a metal could be used for something, it suddenly stuck to Harang’s left arm.
Slam! Slam!
The metal that stuck to the arm took the shape of armor protecting the shoulder. As if in resonance, a silver-white armor appears on Harang’s wrist.
‘It’s Summon Mail…’ … !’
Yes. The identity of the item Harang found was none other than the second part of [Alteri Armor]. Harang, who was stroking the Alteri armor that completely covered one of his shoulders, looked at Xyrel.
He nods with sunken eyes, wondering how he interpreted that look.
“I saved my life thanks to you, so I guess I should return the favor in some way. “What happened just now, I will not reveal it to anyone, on the basis of the truth of the world.”
“… … thank you.”
The Oath of Truth is the biggest oath a wizard can make, and like the ‘Knight’s Oath’, it has great meaning because it is sworn with one’s honor.
“Now, I guess I’ll have to go down and check it out.”
“no… … “Wait a minute, where are you planning to go in that condition?”
“Something bad is happening on the 99th floor.”
“Downstairs? Could this mean that there are more intruders? How is the security of the spire… … .”
“I’ll go.”
“Wait, wait! Your wounds are barely healed, so it’s too much for you to fight. furthermore… … .”
It was certainly a great achievement for his age, but with only 4-star skills, he wouldn’t be of much help in the battle taking place downstairs.
Xyrel, who was about to say that, closed her lips.
Was it because you remembered the great help you received from Harang in the battle just now?
Something like that… … It wasn’t.
Xyrel had to see it. The look in Harang’s eyes as he stands up to fight even though his whole body is covered in wounds.
‘How can that young boy’s eyes be so intelligent?’
His determination-filled eyes made it impossible for me to dare say things like, “It’s not helpful.”
Because Xairel was an 8-star mage, he could clearly feel and see the spirit radiating from Harang.
Even if he can’t use swordsmanship or magic at all… … If I had the strength to even lift a finger, I would stand up and fight without giving up.
‘her… … ‘I don’t know.’
Why do I feel this way?
Do you keep feeling the spirit of a knight in that young boy? Is it because he is Kala’dun?
That can’t be possible. How many times have I encountered Kaladun in my life… … It was the first time he felt this way.
“I’ll go.”
If something had happened downstairs, it would most likely mean that a powerful enemy had appeared that could not be defeated even by a 7-star wizard unit. It might have been meaningless for that boy to go now, but… … .
No way.
I couldn’t stop him from going.
