A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 47

Magic Tower, Golem, Test (3)

It’s already been a month since I started challenging Natalen’s alter ego.

It may have been a short period of time, but in just one month, Harang was learning at a very fast pace how to deal with the ‘human wizard battle’.

‘He’s a great practice partner. really.’

-Are you in good spirits today? Caladon boy.

I felt like I knew why Natalen was called the great sage of the old days. He never used magic warfare in just one way.

Natalen changed her strategy every time Harang fell, making it feel as if she was dealing with dozens of completely different wizards.

It wasn’t just a matter of changing the attribute from ice to fire.

Offensively or defensively.

Furthermore, it shows the magic linkage in an unusual way, or subdues Harang with just the simple use of magic.

As he experienced countless magical strategies, Harang’s coping skills grew at a very rapid rate.

Kagagak!!

-Oh my! Surprise!

As Harang’s blue moon mark brushed past the nape of the armor, Natalen was startled and clapped with both hands.

bang!! The floor on both sides rose up and turned Harang into a sandwich.

However, as if he had expected it, Harang swung his sword to the right, creating a space in the wall, then jumped and rolled towards it, extending his left hand.

[Fire Bullet]

A small flame shot out like a bullet and aimed at Natalen’s forehead, but he blocked it efficiently and easily by deploying a very small defensive magic on his forehead.

-I’ve gotten quite good at mixing magic, but do you think that would work on me?

Coo! Natalen stamped her foot and the tree shot up and grabbed her Harang’s ankle. Then, as she held something with both hands and pretended to swing it, a blue hammer appeared and hit her on the head.

Taeng!!

Harang took a defensive stance, but because his ankles were tied, he was unable to fully absorb the shock and passed out. Natalen, who had activated the River Curry Field for him who fell to the floor, calmed her slightly excited heart.

‘I don’t have a heart, but for the first time in a while, I feel my heart pounding.’

Have I ever been so surprised in my life as a wizard, or rather as a warrior?

‘It’s a growth rate that makes no sense.’

On the first day, Natalen was able to defeat Harang with only two magic spells, but now she had to use a total of at least 20 moves to defeat her.

If he was an ordinary 5-star wizard, it wouldn’t be surprising if Harang had won a long time ago.

However, it is none other than Natalen. Against a 5-star golem with the skill and experience of Natalen, who once burned down countless demons and dark guardians as a companion of the warrior Caladern, this level of achievement is already possible?

-But you won’t be able to see the Magic Tower in three months, boy. Your growth rate is scary, but you still don’t have enough time.

“eww… … .”

When Harang came to his senses, Natalen approached him and asked:

-Are you going to do more?

“… … No, that’s all for today.”

-huh? why? Normally, a shock like this wouldn’t have stopped it.

“I saw it.”

-You saw it?

Without saying any more, he sat down in his seat and suddenly fell into meditation.

‘What, concentration… … ?’

Watching the way he suddenly lost himself in thought, rather than having just been talking, made me wonder if he was really a person.

‘Besides, did you see it? what?’

Just now, when defeating Harang for the final time, Natalen repeated the strategy she had previously used more than once for the first time.

That’s the key point.

Natalen who uses 6-star or higher magic will use more diverse strategies, but all strategies and magic combinations that 5-star Natalen can use are included in Harang’s eyes.

Now that I’ve seen all the attack patterns he uses, it’s time to really get into the ‘simulation’.

-this guy… … What on earth are you doing?

Every time Harang broke into a cold sweat and trembled, Natalen tilted her head.

-Are you doing image training? It would be much faster to learn by getting hit than that.

Natalen, who had no reason to hit the Kaladun boy who did not challenge him, watched him meditate.

Watching his facial expression change and twitch as he was so deeply lost in his thoughts, it seemed like he was truly dealing with me.

‘… … No, wait. What am I doing? ‘Is that real?’

Whiing… !! Natalen felt a rush of heat approaching her.

Even though he was just sitting still and doing nothing, he felt as if he was engaging in a fierce battle with Harang with all his might.

‘I wouldn’t have felt this if it weren’t for me… … !’

After Harang fell into meditation, half a day and several hours passed.

As the moon sets and dawn rises.

Flash! When her sister opened her eyes, Natalen felt a strange sense of déjà vu. It was a look she had seen before.

‘Really, you look just like him… … .’

Natalen almost lost all strength at the sight of him, which seemed to be a reflection of the warrior Kaladun.

‘No, as expected, he’s different from that guy.’

Unlike the warrior Kaladan, who always had a righteous look in his eyes, I could feel the endless fighting spirit and desire from that little boy.

The desire to become more powerful!

The fighting spirit to survive!

and.

A fearsome desire.

I felt it from the boy.

Natalen asked.

-Would you like to take on the challenge?

As if there was no need to ask a question, Ha-rang stood up and immediately put Cheongwolheun on the floor and spread out both palms.

Hwareuk, Hwareuk!!

Two magic circles spread out on each palm. Although they were the same embers, one was a fire bullet and the other was a fire burn, clearly different types of magic.

-Huh, dual casting? A guy who has only used magic as an aid until now, when did he learn it?

“I watched and learned.”

-… … what?

how?

A pure question rose in Natalen’s mind.

Dual casting required drawing two magic circles with both hands and calculating two formulas in your head.

However, no matter how talented and intelligent you are, this is never possible without consistent practice.

It was only possible to use dual casting reliably if you were a wizard of 5 to 6 stars or higher who could replace mathematical calculations with magical power.

‘When on earth did that guy practice?’

At only a 3-star level, it would not be possible to use the mana substitution formula for dual casting.

You must have done the dual casting purely using your brain, but you did it all at once without any practice?

‘Dual casting is something you can’t do even if you practice for a hundred or a thousand days… … .’

Natalen burst into laughter without realizing it.

-Haha! Yeah, great! If you want to attack me with magic, I’ll deal with you accordingly.

Flame and ice bloomed in each of his hands. Even high-level wizards say it is difficult, dual casting with opposite attributes.

In the legend, Natalen is known to be able to cast five or more attribute magics at the same time, so this was only a small portion of the tricks he could do… … .

-At your current level, can you survive five sums?

Natalen shouted in an excited voice, as if she was really excited.

When I was asked by the warrior Caladern to teach his descendants how to deal with wizards as a last request, I never imagined it would be this much fun.

‘If I were alive, and if I inherited this memory… … You might get jealous of me, my alter ego!’

Quack!! Natalen bombards magic and Harang counters.

As if he was determined to completely exclude his physical abilities, Harang tried to respond with magic even to attacks that were sufficiently avoidable, and if he failed, he was simply beaten and sent out.

It may seem like a foolish decision at first glance, but this is a great opportunity to practice rather than actually compete.

I had no intention of kicking away this precious opportunity for Harang to develop, not as a swordsman, but as a wizard.

Wizard Harang was unable to withstand the five sums as Natalen expected.

I fell to my knees after only three magic combos.

After three days, I had to endure five sums, and after a week, I had to use magic combos more than ten times.

As a month passed, Harang also slowly began to fight back.

‘What a crazy growth rate… … .’

When a 5-star wizard competes with a 3-star wizard, there is a 99.99% chance that the 5-star wizard will win.

There are never any surprises.

However, even to Natalen herself, it made no sense for a 5-star wizard to have to use more than 30 spells to deal with a 3-star wizard.

‘Ha, I was called the strongest sorceress in my own way… … .’

Natalen felt her skin heating up. What if Harang was a 5-star wizard like his alter ego?

‘Still, I will win… … ‘It’s bound to be a struggle.’

It was a funny story. Natalen’s memories of being the strongest sorceress for decades still remain in Natalen’s mind, but she has decided that she will have a hard time dealing with a young boy who has only been using magic for about a month.

The 60th day, early morning.

Grumble! Cheeeee… … !!

Natalen, holding fireworks and ice in both hands, spoke happily.

-I think today’s magic battle will have somewhat special results.

“… … is that so?”

-okay. It’s funny, but it’s the feeling of an old man who has lived as a ‘wise man’ for a long time. Are you going to take on the challenge right away?

“yes… … “Please take care of me today as well.”

As soon as Harang said he would challenge, Natalen clapped.

Wow!!

The flame and ice collided, creating a small explosion.

Pow-!

A creeping mist of steam. Without stopping, Natalen stretched out her fingers and shot out her pure white rays.

Jjieeee!! The beam flew in a straight line and roared as if it would pierce everything in front of it.

An ordinary 3-star wizard would have died instantly from these two combos, but Natalen had a feeling that she could not make a single scratch on Harang.

Woe! As the fog spread and the figure of Harang lying face down on the ground was visible, Natalen quickly opened her shield, saying she knew that would happen.

Immediately after, ice picks flew into Natalen’s shield one after another.

Kagagak! The ice pick was stuck in the translucent shield and it looked like it could no longer advance, but it did not stop and continued to gnaw at the shield.

‘Oh oh?!’

If you look closely, you can see that the ice pick is rotating like a drill and is continuously causing damage to the shield!

‘It’s a combination of ice and wind!’

I thought Harang used wind magic to clear the fog, but it was actually a fake for this technique.

‘That’s the link I use… .’

slightly different. Naturally, Natalen frequently used combinations of wind and ice, but using a fake while clearing away the fog was purely Harang’s unique sense.

‘You’ve already completely absorbed my magic, and are moving beyond that!’

Natalen, who was spreading her shield even stronger to break the ice pick, looked at the sky.

A square rock falling overhead, casting a shadow.

Since it is difficult to deploy more than two shields at the same time, the strategy may be to attack the head by unfolding the shield to block the awl.

‘Ha, this is also a method I often use!’

He summoned three pillars from the floor and used them as pedestals to support the square rock that fell from above.

That’s not all, he summoned a spring from the floor and threw the rock above his head forward, creating an explosion of air in the air and sending it flying towards Harang.

Wow!! Harang hurriedly raised a wall from the floor to defend himself, but it seemed impossible to completely block the huge boulder that was shot like an arrow, so he retreated in great shock.

‘Gap… … !’

He didn’t miss the moment when Harang hesitated and tried to summon a tree root from the floor and grab his ankle.

Fasth! As soon as the roots were summoned, they were engulfed in flames and withered away.

‘uh?’

Only then did Natalen sense something strange and narrowed her eyes.

Grumbling!!

Around Harang’s body, a circle of flames was drawn on the floor and slowly rose up.

3-star magic ‘Fire Wall’.

Originally, it was a magic to deal with knights, and was intended to create a wall of flames to block the opponent’s entry and burn incoming enemies.

-Memorize? Huh, at some point… … !

Natalen felt once again that times had advanced. There was no technology in ancient times that could memorize magic so quickly.

‘Are you saying you’re going to completely block my specialty, trees? That was too much. Fire Wall consumes a lot of magic power.’

No matter how much he has a silver heart, it is a huge magic that Harang’s current magic core cannot handle.

Natalen, who thought he had overdone it, continued to cast magic to finish it off at once.

‘Three water snakes.’

Wow! Three giant snakes made of water surged from Natalen’s back and shot towards Harang.

As it is a 5-star magic, it will easily extinguish a 3-star fire wall and cause a great shock to Harang. Natalen was even thinking of defeating Harang with this magic.

Whioooo!!

The wind swirled roughly around Harang’s body, and the flames grew bigger and bigger. A combination of wind and flame, often used by wizards who control both attributes.

Up to this point, it was a connection that anyone could do.

-… … Oh, right. You won’t get there that easily.

As the flames grew in size, they soared into the sky and began to gather in the air. The huge red sphere that was slowly growing in size had no form and was just burning, but Natalen was honestly shocked.

‘To control the flame created by blowing wind so precisely… … !’

Flame is more difficult and complex to manipulate in form than any other attribute.

In addition to simply controlling the mana, the form itself must be calculated and fixed using a formula… … .

There is no way that a 3-star wizard could have such detailed control.

‘It’s like two wizards chanting at the same time!’

The huge flame that Harang created in this way was emitting energy so strong that it rivaled the power of four-star magic.

Again, the probability of a 3-star wizard winning against a 5-star wizard is extremely slim, less than 0.01%.

You can’t win without even a miracle, but you couldn’t hope for such a fluke or miracle against the legendary sorceress Natalen.

So, it was only natural that Harang’s flame was bitten by three water snakes and extinguished.

The result was Harang’s defeat.

dump!

Looking at Harang, who had exhausted all his magical power and was kneeling on the floor in a state of exhaustion.

Natalen’s fingertips trembled.

‘I can’t believe it.’

It’s really just a moment, but Natalen… … I remembered the probability of 0.01%.

‘At the last moment, it definitely took the form of three snakes.’

Perhaps he was trying to imitate the three water snakes, but Harang tried to spread the flame by dividing it into three branches.

Even though it failed and was bitten by Natalen’s magic, it was extinguished… … .

‘What if, really, even if the probability is low, the magic was successful?’

I got goosebumps.

If it was successful… … With only a 3-star magic, Harang unleashed magic with a power comparable to a 5-star magic, and would have competed with Natalen on equal terms with Natalen, even if only for a moment.

Who in the world will you trust?

The fact that such a thing is possible.

My heart felt hot.

If there is no heart in this cold armored body, why is it beating so hard?

Natalen approached Harang, who was on his knees and groaning with a strong sense of dizziness, and stretched out his hand.

-Are you okay?

“eww… … “It’s truly amazing magic.”

Natalen smiled bitterly at Harang’s admiration. She thought that 5 stars would be enough to teach him, but had there ever been a day when she felt her own weakness so painfully?

Right now, his magic was nothing more than a broken mug and a torn newspaper soaked in water. It’s not finished, it’s just incomplete… … Such an unfinished work.

Until now, I had never felt regretful about 5-star magic, but the more I taught Harang, the more empty my heart felt.

‘I want to show you all my strength and teach you… … .’

power. I can’t show all my strength to that child. impossible. Because my past self decided that way.

but… … .

It’s a choice that my past self, if I hadn’t seen this child, would never have made.

Wouldn’t heaven allow me too?

-Harang, the child of Caladorn.

“Yes, please say it.”

-This may sound really rude and possibly insulting to you… … With that kind of apologetic feeling, I really want to make a suggestion, would you mind?

When Natalen asked politely, Harang nodded with a bewildered look.

-… … Have you ever thought of becoming my disciple and inheriting the magic of ‘Mythical Descent’?

It was a cautious question.

It had to be that way. Even in his time, it was truly arrogant for a wizard to dare to say to a knight that he would become his ‘apprentice’ and teach him magic.

In the age of Natalen, the status of wizards had plummeted to the abyss, making it impossible to even dare to speak to a knight… … .

Thump!

-… … huh?!

If Harang hadn’t suddenly rushed towards him and held onto both of his hands, he might have continued with such self-mocking thoughts.

“Ha, I will!”

-What, what?

“That magic! “I really want to inherit it!”

-uh… … Really?

“yes! “It’s an honor!”

As Harang spoke with his eyes shining like constellations in the night sky, it was difficult for Natalen to tell whether this was a dream or reality.

Even if you were a descendant of Kaladun, I thought a knight would have some aversion to being under the control of a wizard… … .

-ha ha ha. You really look just like him, Kaladun… … .

Natalen unconsciously grabbed her forehead.

Maybe, I’m not sure.

If I had any tear ducts left, I might have looked pretty ugly in front of a child.
