A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 48

Magic Tower, Golem, Test (4)

In legend, Natalen is the 10-star great sage and advisor to the warrior Kaladun.

If there was one special ability he had, it would be ‘summoning magic’.

However, it was not the type of magic that summoned spirits or demons.

-My magic embodies a ‘story’ in my mind and descends into my reality. Looks really simple, doesn’t it?

“… … “It looks complicated and troublesome.”

-Hehehe, yes, yes. That’s also true. Until now, no one has inherited my magic.

“Is it that difficult?”

-difficult. That may be true, but… … Rather, it would be more correct to say that it does not fit the body.

Harang, who was concentrating on the flow of mana with his hands crossed in the lotus position, realized that something had changed in Natalen’s mana and concentrated on it.

‘what?’

The average beast moves both hands symmetrically. If your left hand goes up and draws a circle, your right hand goes down and draws a circle.

Sometimes, the left hand stays still and only the right hand moves, or there are times when the person draws different shapes, but this is the first time I have seen a prisoner with both hands moving separately in such a completely asymmetrical manner.

With tea!

Natalen, who had finally completed the purple magic circle, flew it into the sky like a balloon, and it turned into a dark cloud and raindrops fell in the area.

Magic that creates water droplets was the basic of basics, but this was the first time I had seen magic that summoned a thundercloud filled with lightning like that.

-Do you understand?

“… … “It’s a familiar movement with my left hand, but I have no idea about my right hand.”

-Hehe, is that still the case? Of course it is. While casting a water attribute with his left hand, he casted Summon magic with his right hand. At the same time, I drew a ‘story’ using both hands. It’s a story about dark clouds pouring out raindrops.

“With both hands, you multi-cast a completely different type of magic?”

-okay. But it’s the basics of basics. Ultimately, the most important thing in my magic is creating stories.

oh my god.

Summon magic and attribute magic are completely different types of magic.

It went several steps beyond the dual casting process of simply drawing a triangle with the left hand and a circle with the right.

If the first step is to cast fire in both hands, and the second step is to cast magic with opposite attributes in both hands.

‘That… … Step 5? No, it’s okay to say it’s level 10.’

Is something like that really possible unless you have at least two brains?

Only then did I understand why Natalen was said to be unable to have students.

And, I felt like I could understand why the power of the magic he used was superior to that of a 5-star.

‘… … Until now, you have been looking after me. Even after yesterday’s fierce encounter, Natalen was finally backing down.’

When Harang made a stern expression, Natalen let out a refreshing laugh.

-Haha, don’t worry. If you do not have talent, it will be impossible to master 1-star level magic even if I teach you for 10 years, but if you have talent, you will be able to master the basics within a year of my teaching.

“Is it one year…?” … .”

-I don’t know if I keep teaching you, but didn’t you say you have a limited time?

“… … “I feel like I really want to disobey my family’s orders.”

-Hahaha! You are so funny. Are you a child of a knight family? Have times changed? It would be really fun if kids like you were common in the world.

“Even with my limited insight, I have never seen anyone like me.”

-Hot, I guess so. Anyway, don’t worry, a short period of time is enough. I saw talent in you. That’s very similar to me too! Be confident.

It’s confidence. That was the area in which Harang was most confident. I have never forgotten confidence in any field in my life.

-Nice eyes.

At first, I had to study basic ‘Summon Magic’.

Basically, unless you have a special affinity for this magic that deals with spirits or summoned animals, it takes at least three months to as long as half a year.

-… … Are you unusually friendly?

“Iknow, right.”

Harang was done in just one day.

He looked blankly at the water spirit he had summoned (the water droplets had wings).

‘Should I do a spirit test?’

Unlike magic, it has the advantage of not requiring busy hands, but unlike magic swordsman, spirit swordsmen do not exist in the world at all.

Because the summoned beast periodically drains mana, it is impossible to carefully control the auror, and the moment it is canceled by being hit by an opponent’s attack, a temporary backflow of mana occurs.

If you stop for a moment due to mana reflux while cutting at close range, your head will be blown off immediately, so if a spirit swordsman exists, the opponent fighting will only target the summoned spirit.

-This is my first time seeing friendliness like yours. It’s as if a divine spirit has been swallowed whole… … Anyway, this makes the story easier. I think the period could be drastically shortened.

Since then, Harang has continued to acquire basic knowledge. It was very difficult to study both Summon Magic theory and Natalen’s ‘Mythical Descent’ theory, but he burned his passion even at the cost of sleeping at night.

The superhuman stamina of a 4-star knight shines in places like this.

Since the time spent receiving instruction, rather than competing with Natalen, increased, the time spent naturally conversing also increased.

When Harang tried to use magic and sometimes had mana reflux and had to take a break, Natalen would tell her story.

The story of the legendary wizard Natalen, whose identity was not properly revealed to the public, was very interesting, so Harang also asked various questions.

“Now that I think about it, there was a story about someone who once summoned a meteorite and wiped out an entire region… … “It has not been revealed who the culprit is.”

-Oh, that… … ?

Natalen cleared her throat.

Apparently, the meteorite summoning at the time was a magic so large that even the caster could not handle it, and the damage was so severe that it destroyed an entire city, so Natalen seems to be a bit reluctant.

-Well, it’s me. Summoning a meteorite was still too much for me at that time. There was no other way to put the awakened ancient giant spirit to sleep, so I forced myself to use it… … I wonder if that would have been the best. At that time, I had a lot of fights with Caladorn because of that.

“is that so… … .”

If it weren’t for this magic, the ancient giant soldier would have caused greater damage, and innocent victims could have been killed, so how could they take responsibility?

Now that many years have passed, the argument with Kaladun has become a memory.

-Oh, that’s right. Wow, it’s a shameful past to talk about. At the time, I was unable to retrieve the staff that was fixed to the designated coordinate system because I was summoning a meteorite.

“I know. “It’s a famous cane.”

Mitiel, a staff known to be used by Natalen to summon meteorites.

There is no one who does not know about the existence of a wizard.

-Mitiel is fixed to the coordinates, but it is released when a user who satisfies certain conditions appears. What happens now?

“maybe… … “There was a wizard who used it a few times, but I believe it has been sealed again because there are no users now.”

-There was a user? Uhm, but nothing happened?

“yes? Well, not really. “Except that all of the users left their names in history as great archmages.”

-Hey, those guys. Looks like everyone was wise. Or maybe you were too stupid to solve Mythiel’s secret.

“yes?”

-I’m just saying this out of anger, but don’t visit Mitiel later if you’re curious about him or anything? Not only are you not qualified to hold Mitiel anyway, but the staff itself is a little, a little, no, a lot worse than its reputation. It was just a cane that I had used since I was a beginner, but its name value went up due to my reputation.

“… … is that so?”

When he said that, my curiosity deepened, but I answered that I would understand for now. Of course, regardless of the answer, I definitely planned to visit later.

As I got to know Natalen, Harang also shared his story with her. Although their time together was short, Harang realized that this was the first time in this world that he had shared such a personal story with someone for such a long time.

Even though we were teacher and student, it felt like I had a friend for the first time… … .

like that.

Time passed.

The result of studying by reducing my sleeping time and using divine protection to force my concentration.

Day 89, late evening.

[Eltrin’s Illusion Cube]

A very small, translucent purple square is created on Harang’s palm. Natalen screamed in even more surprise than the person who cast the spell.

-Wow!!

“Ahh?!”

I was so shocked that I turned off the magic, but Natalen roughly slapped Harang on the shoulder and laughed.

-Wahahah!! This guy is the real deal! I can’t believe I learned this in just one month. Has the level of kids these days improved?

“… … .”

My conscience was pricked a little when I heard that kids’ standards these days have improved.

The reason I was able to cast magic in 30 days was largely because I borrowed the ‘Revelation of the Mythical Descent’ from Natalen, tore out only one magic from among them, and then used the [Skill Book Acquisition] system.

In other words, other Mythic Advent magic still has no choice.

In addition, it was only possible to create a 3-star magic with the help of [System Protection], to the point where my mental strength was strained every time I cast a spell.

‘This is my first time like this. Even though I used the skill book acquisition function, I couldn’t successfully perform the spell in one go.’

It’s a strange phenomenon that you clearly understand the principle in your head, but your body doesn’t follow it.

Harang had to make a really hard effort to overcome it.

Jurruk… … .

-Hey. The 4-star prosecutor even had a nosebleed and was very upset, right?

Harang grinned while wiping his nosebleed with a handkerchief.

There were definitely dark circles around my eyes due to lack of sleep, but my mind wasn’t tired at all.

There will be no more joyful and rewarding time than when the results prove your efforts.

-Of course, you’re not perfect yet. How many minutes does it take to just cast one spell? In addition, cube magic is a magic that greatly expands the range, traps the opponent, and then compresses it to attack. You can’t even trap a single mosquito with that, right?

“… … yes.”

When Harang looked strangely glum, Natalen tapped him on the shoulder.

-But, you succeeded. That’s important. Until now, no one has understood this magic that I created and that contains everything about me… … .

Natalen’s voice as she finished speaking sounded strangely trembling, but Harang did not show it.

-… … thanks. Little Kaladun. Thank you so much. If you were me, you would definitely be able to make my magic, which almost fell asleep forever, shine even brighter in the world.

Natalen was known to have never had a disciple during her lifetime until the moment she passed away. His nickname was ‘The Wizard Who Draws Stories,’ but he was also known as an unlucky wizard who could not finish his own stories.

No one in the world will know.

Natalen’s story, which had such an unfortunate ending, is about to begin again in a small magic tower hidden in a deep forest.

-Okay, then… … Tomorrow is the last day I can be with you, right?

“… … yes.”

-Hehe, you are already my disciple, so there is nothing I can’t do to open the flower tower, but the system imprinted on this golem doesn’t allow it.

“it’s okay. “It will be much easier to enter the Magic Tower after passing a proper test.”

-Haha, yes. It should come out like that.

Natalen turned around, returned to her seat, and spoke in a grave voice.

-Let’s go back and rest for today, and see you again tomorrow in perfect condition.

Harang bowed his head in greeting and left the magic tower.

Shoot… … !!

It was pouring rain.
