Embrace the Magic (126)
The monster’s destructive power was overwhelming. Once it hit, even Master-level Charis and Jenna would break in one place.
Moreover, he was more agile than expected. He would crouch down and then suddenly jump out, so fast that it seemed like he was teleporting. There were times when Charis and Jenna couldn’t even react properly.
Boom! Boom!
‘It’s solid.’
It was somewhat affected by magic, but strangely, it didn’t work well with Karis and Jenna’s attacks. It did get hurt, but not as bad as I thought. It was particularly strong against close-range attacks.
‘It’s because of the poison.’
Even though I cured the poison with Cure Poison and increased my resistance to poison with Resist Poison, it only lasted for a short time. The poison quickly permeated Karis and Jenna’s bodies.
The poison weakened Charis and Jenna’s powers. Their senses also seemed to be impaired, and their movements became strangely slow.
‘It’s not a real person. It’s a battle doll, but it has this kind of influence. It becomes weaker when you approach it. That’s the problem.’
All Charis and Jenna could do now was tie him up. As long as the poison continued to linger around him, it was difficult to expect anything more than that.
‘I have to handle it. Me.’
A stronger magic was needed.
Simply adding more magic power to the 6th circle magic was not enough to deal with the creature. Even the combination of the previously used and powerful Becum Explosion and Flame Strike magic was not enough to inflict fatal damage on the creature.
‘We have to find a way. A way.’
A lot of magic flashed through my head. I also recalled the runes I had learned through the Proval illusion.
“Jenna! Get out of here!”
“profit!”
The demon lifted his leg over Jenna, who had fallen to the floor. If he had just brought her down, Jenna’s life would have been in danger.
“Fireworks Zero!”
Rodin cast a spell. Six circles spun furiously, creating one spell.
Friction Zero. A high-level Greek magic that lowers the coefficient of friction.
Boom! Boom!
The guy slipped and fell hard on the floor. Jenna, who was in a dangerous predicament, rolled over and got out of danger.
“Fire Blast.”
Boom! Boom! Kwakwakwak! Boom!
Rodin’s magic continued to unfold. This time, it was a 6-circle magic that caused a fire explosion over a certain area.
The area surrounding the demon exploded one after another. Then, flames rose from the ground.
The rising flames didn’t do much damage to the demon. Since it was a range magic, it was difficult to expect much power.
But the blazing flames burned away the poison that had filled the surroundings. Charis and Jenna sighed in relief at the noticeably reduced poison.
But I couldn’t just sit back and rest.
When a wizard and a knight fight together, the knight’s role is to protect the wizard. If he allows the wizard to use magic as he pleases, the knight has fulfilled his role.
Charis and Jenna took their places between Rodin and Masoo.
The demon also noticed the situation. The two in front of him were annoying and quick, but the real danger was the guy far away.
“The land that purifies the world, Purification Field!”
The magic that Rodin used in succession was an improved magic that purified an entire area.
To specify the range, I brought the rune and combination formula of the 5th circle lightning field. I mixed the 6th circle magic, Purification, into it. It was a magic that I made on the spot.
The magic power was drained away in a lump. Although it was a 6th circle magic, a lot of magic power was consumed that didn’t seem like it was a 6th circle magic.
“Pirixen Zero!”
Kukang!
As the bastard tried to get up, Rodin reduced the coefficient of friction again. The demon who had just raised his upper body fell down again.
But he wasn’t completely flat on his stomach like before. His arms were still on the floor.
“The descending flames of hell, Inferno Flame!”
While the man was down, Rodin chanted a long rune. He also made a hand gesture with both fingers.
The magical Inferno Flame was created in this way.
The six circles spun around terrifyingly. As if that wasn’t enough, the magic began to greedily search through the body.
“ah!”
It was a mistake. I was creating magic without thinking and ended up using magic that I couldn’t handle.
‘It’s the 7th circle.’
In my haste to combine and create magic, I didn’t have time to calculate how many circles I would need. I’m a 6-circle magician, but I accidentally used a 7-circle magic.
With six magic circles not enough, magic coveted the body, seeking its vitality and stealing its life force.
‘no.’
Rodin hurriedly gathered the surrounding mana. This was the only way for now.
The conditions for opening the underground ruins’ door were a special magic wave and seven circles. Rodin, a six-circle magician, used his mana to create a fake circle and deceived the magic circle engraved on the door.
I tried to do the same thing again. The problem was that I was running out of time.
Magic reacts immediately to runes, but mana is different. It takes a long time to induce the first movement, and the amount of energy required is also large.
So, although I used magic circles using mana for artifacts, I couldn’t use them for battle magic.
But now there was no other way. I had to create something to replace one of the circles, right away.
‘please.’
I coaxed and soothed Mana, barely able to pull it inside my body. I quickly formed it into a circle.
As soon as the circle shape was formed, the magic of Inferno Flame drained the mana.
Watching the mana circles dissipate in an instant, Rodin absorbed the mana again. Then he shaped it into a circle and used it for magic again, repeating the process.
‘Ha, that’s enough.’
It barely met the amount of energy that Inferno Flame required.
The magic was complete. It was a black flame. The fire, which seemed to be made of black smoke, covered the entire body of the demon.
Kuaaaah!
It was a heat that was incomparable to any fire magic I had ever used before. The intense heat caused even trees located tens of meters away to dry up.
The demon writhed madly, rolling on the floor and grabbing handfuls of dirt to rub against his body.
But the fire did not weaken at all. The magic remained of the same power and continued to burn the body.
Kuaaaah! Kuah!
Screaming was no use. The bastard’s body was burning without stopping.
Along with him, Rodin also gradually lost strength from his body.
I managed to create magic with mana, but my body was in shambles. The magical power was boiling like crazy, and I felt like my body was going to explode.
“Please… the back.”
Rodin searched through the subspace and took out several bottles of potions made with ancient visions, lining them up. He drank one of them and sat down to begin practicing.
The potion Rodin drank was made with an ancient vision. It is a healing potion, but it also helps control the seething magic.
He left the job to Karis and Jenna, but they had nothing to do. All they could do was guard Rodin and watch as the demon died.
The demon’s writhing gradually decreased. Its body was already charred black.
“You’ve lasted a long time.”
“That’s right. It was 7th circle magic, right?”
“Yes. The previous Master used similar magic. But the magic used by the current Master is much more powerful.”
“That’s right. I think so too.”
Charis and Jenna talked while guarding Rodin.
The battle seemed to be over. The two were in shambles, but fortunately everyone survived. That was all that mattered.
Rodin didn’t know it, but the magic engraved at the entrance to the ruins of the Mode Wasteland was Inferno Flame. It was a magic engraved to attack intruders when they tried to force open the door.
In fact, the elder of Slavon who was hit by the Inferno Flame spell suffered from the aftereffects for quite a long time.
“The Master is much stronger than we expected.”
“That’s right. You’re young. But did you put that potion out for us to drink?”
“That’s what it looks like. Hmm, we don’t drink potions.”
Karis and Jenna are battle dolls. When their bodies break, they have to be repaired, not healed.
The best place to repair them now was the storage space inside the necklace Rodin was wearing. The repair magic engraved on the necklace could repair them even if they were damaged to some extent.
“The Master often treats us like humans.”
“That’s right. It seemed like he wasn’t acting, but treating me like a real person.”
“hmm?”
“uh?”
A tremendous force surged through Rodin’s body. The trees around him were swept away by the typified force, and dust rose up.
“It’s awakening.”
“It’s awakening.”
They both spoke at the same time.
The awakening they were talking about was the moment when the circles went up. A 6th circle wizard went up to the 7th circle, and a 7th circle wizard went up to the 8th circle. All of these were called ‘awakenings’ during the past imperial era.
“I’m only 15 years old.”
“Hmm.”
“Faster than the previous master.”
“The fastest in the history of the empire.”
Rodin will be 16 when the year changes. He is a 7th circle student, two years earlier than the previous master, Princess Elanerien.
The storm of momentum grew stronger and stronger. The surrounding energy circled Rodin’s body, then dug into his body as if attacking him.
“Hmm, isn’t the momentum too strong?”
“That’s right. It’s too strong. It won’t go wrong, right?”
When Princess Elanerien created the battle doll, she was already a 9th circle magician. So neither Charis nor Jenna had ever seen Princess Elanerien awaken.
However, while hanging out with Princess Elanerien, I saw many scenes of others awakening. In particular, I saw the scene of a 6th circle magician rising to the 7th circle dozens of times.
During the Imperial era, 7th Circle wizards were not as rare as they are now. It was a common sight to see talented wizards nearby.
“At this level, it’s at the 8th circle level.”
“If you only look at the strength of the energy, it’s more than 8 circles, but there are only 7 circles. The Master originally had a lot of magical power.”
Fortunately, the tremendous force of the storm soon subsided. Instead, Rodin’s body began to distort like dough.
“We’re doing body reconstruction again.”
“Yeah. I did it once before.”
Was the body’s reconstructing process uncomfortable?
Jito, who had been in the form of clothes, returned to his main body. Then, after tilting his head a few times, he flew up into the sky.
Undyne, who was on his shoulder, also distanced herself from Rodin. This was because her body was getting hot during the reconstructing process and she was uncomfortable.
While Charis and Jenna watched Rodin, the flames burning the demon’s body went out. The huge demon’s body was charred black and reduced to charcoal.
“It’s over there.”
“I know.”
Rodin’s transformation was long-lasting. An hour passed, then another, and the physical reconstruction was not complete.
“It’s taking a long time. It’s different from the 7th Circle wizards I’ve seen before.”
“The original Master was far from ordinary. Well, that’s enough… Hmm? Someone’s coming.”
“Charis, left. I’m on the right.”
The two stood guard on Rodin’s left and right, looking in the direction the stranger was approaching.
Soon a group of about 100 people approached, all wearing robes and hoods.
“He’s a wizard.”
“huh.”
The color of their robes was all blue. I don’t know where they were, but they were wizards belonging to the same group.
“Huh, a great wizard is born in such a remote place. Hehehe.”
One of the group of wizards stepped forward. Charis and Jenna naturally stood in front of Rodin.
“Please stop. Our lord is at a critical juncture.”
“I know. I have no intention of getting any closer, so don’t worry.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Still, Charis and Jenna stayed by Rodin’s side. As long as there was even one person nearby, they had no intention of leaving.
The wizards who appeared in the meantime looked around.
The forest was in shambles. Most of the nearby trees had fallen and the ground was dug up.
Amidst all this chaos, a huge, black mass was visible. It wasn’t hard to guess what it was.
“Did you guys make it like that?”
“Yes. The magic of Confucius was great.”
Jenna passed the ball to Rodin.
In fact, Charis and Jenna focused on blocking the movement of the demon. They cut it several times with their swords and spears, but failed to inflict fatal wounds.
The one who dealt the most damage to the demon was Rodin. The final blow was also a 7-circle magic that Rodin had created with great effort.
“Hmm, thank you for taking care of the demons that are a threat to the continent. I may not be the representative of the continent, but since I am here, I will express my gratitude on your behalf.”
“I will tell you when the Master wakes up.”
“Ah! We haven’t introduced ourselves. My name is Francis, the tower lord of the Landes Tower.”
At the mention of the Landes Tower, Charis and Jenna’s expressions hardened slightly.
They too had heard about the Four Great Towers after they opened their eyes to this world. They had heard what Rodin had heard from inside the Necklace’s vault, but they knew that the Landes Tower was one of the four most powerful groups in the present age.
Thinking that it was a formidable force, the tension between the two increased.
“My name is Jena. I am the escort of the prince.”
Jenna introduced herself, but Charis said nothing. She simply watched the other person, holding her spear ready to be pulled out at any moment.
“Heh heh, I didn’t mean to make you nervous. We’ll just distance ourselves a little more and rest.”
“I would appreciate it if you could do that.”
“Let’s just step back.”
The magicians of the Landes Tower carefully kept their distance. Only after they had gained some distance did the tension between Karis and Jenna ease a little.
“Phew.”
“That’s fortunate.”
