Leveling Up with Skills Chapter 402

– Volume 17 Episode 2

402. Advanced Magic on the 81st Floor (2)

“Rest in peace for now. I’ll be staying for a long time, so I’m looking around. If you have any questions, ask anytime.”

With those words, the wizards scattered.

Taesan, as she said, looked around the magic tower first.

The magic tower was very wide and high. There was no end in sight, and there were countless rooms.

And each room had different characteristics. There were rooms with all sorts of experimental tools like a laboratory, and there were also rooms with hundreds of magic circles densely drawn.

The number of wizards in the Mage Tower was quite large.

It was a number well over a hundred. Most of them were practicing magic without paying attention to Taesan.

Taesan walked through the hallway. A red-haired man walking from the other side frowned at Taesan.

It was a man who muttered annoyedly to Taesan .

The man passed by Taishan as if he didn’t like it.

“Even if Zervand accepted it, we didn’t acknowledge you. Don’t be in a hurry.”

He whispered a warning. Taesan, who looked at him for a while, didn’t care and continued to wander around the magic tower.

“They can’t see you.”

[You can’t see me because I’m not a labyrinth. He didn’t seem to be the old man in the center, but.] I could

feel several gazes toward Taesan

.

Instead of approaching Taishan, the wizards used magic to observe Taishan. Most of them were curious or indifferent.

Of course, there were also those who showed hostility among them.

Taesan pretended not to know and passed the day leisurely.

“What is this?”

He arrived at a library full of countless spell books. Compared to the library of all things, it was obviously small, but it

was so much that I couldn’t read all of it even if I spent my whole life.

“Ohh. hi?”

A woman appeared on the ladder of the bookshelf smiling. Among the wizards, he was the only one who showed affinity to Taesan.

“Laugh.”

she jumped off the ladder Then, the numerous dolls below gently accepted her.

She came down from the doll and asked, straightening the hem of her dress.

“Did you look around enough? What is the atmosphere like?”

“Some were hostile to me, but most were indifferent.”

“yes?”

The woman sighed.

“I’m a new wizard, so I’ll take it in moderation. Aren’t we going to be together for a long time anyway? Are you just being stubborn?”

She grumbled for a moment, then smiled.

“So what’s the matter here?”

“I was looking around and

found it. What kind of place is this?”

“As you can see, this is a library. It contains many magic books. There are also spell books that are cursed or have egos, so you have to be careful.”

“Is that so.”

Taesan looked around the library. As she said, there were magic books with special powers, but nothing great.

“It’s just fine. Guys. Give me some trouble.”

The woman clapped her hands.

At the same time, the waves of mana scattered from her in the form of threads.

The puppets injected with mana moved their bodies and searched the bookshelves. In an instant, dozens of books piled up in front of Mount Tai.

“These are good books to build up well-organized knowledge. Read it.”

“…thank you.”

Too many.

It was an amount that would take quite a long time just to read. Taishan had no intention of staying here for that long.

Taesan looked at the book for a while and asked.

“You are a puppeteer.”

“answer.”

The woman grinned and snapped her fingers. The dolls began to waltz softly in pairs.

“I deal with specially made dolls. It can handle over a hundred dolls at once. Isn’t it fun?”

“It is unique.”

A wizard who handles dolls. never seen it until now The woman shrugged.

“Here, you can learn Zervand’s magic. Most wizards are learning it. But some, including me, are different. Rather than relying on Zervand-sama’s power, he is creating his own magic. The eight wizards who said they were testing you are all like that.”

“Do you really need to create your own magic?”

Gervand is the god of magic. His magic was flawless magic. Elia scratched her cheek with an ambiguous face.

“What are you talking about, we’re against a wall.”

Elia waved her hand. There, a window of blue light was realized with a huge wavelength.

“It’s intermediate magic.”

Taesan didn’t know about magic, but he could tell just by looking at the energy he felt. That was the same level of magic as the Frozen World or the Starlight Arrow.

“oh. did you notice I did it just in case, but it’s quite good.”

Elia shook the window in admiration.

“We were allowed up to this point… but they weren’t allowed any more than this…

Elia smiled bitterly.

Taesan knew what the ideal she was talking about was.

“Is it advanced magic?”

“huh. We think we deserve it, but from Zervand-sama’s point of view, it doesn’t seem like it.”

Because of that, they were making their own magic, not Zervand’s magic.

“So… among the wizards who said they would test you, there are quite a few who are jealous of you.”

Although he stayed here for a long time and learned magic, Taishan, an outsider, was immediately allowed to use advanced magic, which he was not allowed to do.

It wasn’t strange to show hostility.

“Are you like that too?”

“no? I just joined because it looked like fun, to help you along. The guy lying there pretending to sleep is a wizard who handles plants. One of the seven wizards.

He’s a sneaky guy, so be careful.”

The woman whispered as she looked at the man lying on the sofa. An annoyed voice rang out from the man.

“Selling other people’s information? what are you going to do Elia.”

“How are you? You’ll find out anyway.”

“That’s true, but we are examiners. What power we use and how we deal with it should be confirmed as it passes the test.”

“Isn’t that too harsh? You can tell me this much information in advance.”

A woman called Elia grumbled. The man stood up with a sigh.

“Anyway, don’t talk about other wizards from now on. It is his job to figure that out.”

“Yes. okay.”

Elia reluctantly nodded.

‘It’s not like that.’

However, Taesan already knew what kind of magicians the two of them were from the time they entered this place.

The flow of mana they have and how to deal with it. All of that was visible. They also put on their own protections, probably to hide them from others, but it was as if Taesan didn’t have them.

Although he did not know exactly what kind of magic he was dealing with, he had already figured out its direction and properties.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t introduce myself.”

The woman cleared her throat and proudly placed her hand on her chest.

“I am Elia Margatri. I am the master of the marionette

school and one of the eight wizards recognized by the god of magic.”

“I am Constria Beriel. He is the master of the Lokest School and one of the eight wizards recognized by the God of Magic.”

Konstria looked at Mount Tai in silence and asked.

“What is your name?”

“This is Kang Tae-san.”

“Kang Tae-san. Get out of here right now.”

“Constria?”

“This is advice, not a warning. I don’t feel anything from you.”

Konstria said bluntly.

“The fact that you have been recognized by the God of Magic must mean that you have far greater talent than we do. I have nothing to say about it. But you are too weak.”

Taesan looked at him quietly.

Perhaps thinking that silence had hit the mark, Konstria continued.

“Elia next to you is a special case,

but most people here don’t allow outsiders like you. Especially if you are weak. What’s more, everyone here has reached a realm. No matter how talented you are, a weak person like you can learn nothing.”

Saying that, Konstria turned around and headed out of the study.

“Go back now. And live your life. This is the advice I can give you.”

The door is closed. Elia, who was left alone, scratched her head with a puzzled face.

“Hmm… That’s a bit strong, but it’s not that wrong. but it’s okay! I will help you!”

Elia clenched her fists.

“If you were allowed to use advanced magic, it must mean that my Lord Levand recognized your talent. If you work hard for a few years, other wizards will recognize you!”

“Is that so.”

Taesan finally realized why the conversation had gone awry somewhere.

They didn’t know much about Taesan.

Although he had no power right now, he thought that he had entered this place after being recognized by Zerband for having the talent to learn advanced magic.

Taishan had now activated the Seal of Authority and was hiding all his powers. If it were not for beings of the same rank, they would be seen as ordinary human beings. That’s why Elia said that she would help and stay with her for a long time.

‘It’s annoying.’

There was no reason to stay that long.

However, releasing the seal of authority

would not be what Zervand wanted.

After thinking about it, Taesan asked Elia.

“Can you take the test if I ask for it?”

“Ugh. that’s right. In any case, it’s Zervand’s word, so we have no right to refuse. But right now it’s impossible to pass, so I practiced slowly…

“No.”

Taesan shook his head.

“I will take the test right now.”

“huh?”

Elia’s pupils widened.

* * *

“Take the test already? What are you so fast?”

One mage grumbled. There was also a room for a confrontation inside the Magic Tower. Eight wizards and Taesan gathered in a spacious room.

“Elia. You said you’d take it. What did you say?”

“no. I also tried to stop it…

Elia scratched her cheek with an ambiguous face.

When Tae-san asked to take the test, she refused. He said it meant nothing at the moment.

However, Taishan did not give up.

Taesan was brought here by Zervand, so in the end Elia had no choice but to back down.

“So who will do it?”

“It’s annoying…

“I’m going.”

A man stood up.

He was a red-haired man who showed the greatest hostility towards Taesan. He smiled and walked towards Mt.

“Why is he so enthusiastic?”

“You always whined about wanting to learn advanced magic. I don’t even hate him.”

There were no expectations. They all knew that Taishan had no powers because they had detected him during their first meeting.

“Why did Zervand-sama bring such a weak child? I think I have talent, but I am too weak.”

“Do you think he is weak?”

“huh?”

The still silent old man opened his mouth. The wizards were perplexed.

“Isn’t it natural? I don’t feel anything from him.”

“Elia. You must have watched closely. What do you think?”

“Yeah… I don’t know either. It looks like he’s hiding something, but it’s not very great.”

Elia shook her head. She also tried to grasp the power of Taishan right next to it. But I really didn’t feel anything.

“is it.”

The old man stared blankly at Mount Tai.

“Awesome. How did you hide it so completely?”

“huh?”

“You will know when you see it.”

The red-haired man arrived in front of Taesan. Those eyes were full of hostility.

“A buggy guy.”

His voice was full of hatred and hostility.

He devoted his whole life to magic.

Literally, he threw away his family, acquaintances, lover, and even his own life, and bet everything on one magic.

With such obsession and success, the man

was recognized by the god of magic and was able to enter the Mage Tower.

Entering the Magic Tower, he was very proud of himself. A very few wizards recognized by the great god of magic. you have become one of them

It hadn’t been long since he entered the Mage Tower, so he was obsessed with himself.

In the meantime, Taishan entered the Magic Tower.

The one who shows no strength. A person who was recognized by the God of Magic for such a subject and was allowed a position in advanced magic.

The man could not tolerate the presence of Taesan.

His authority was being undermined just because Taesan was here. I could no longer tolerate polluting the air here. The man thought of excluding Taesan from this place.

But expulsion is impossible. Because the god of magic directly permitted the existence of Mount Tai.

If so, let me go out on my own.

The man laughed and shouted.

“I’m a Butler Raven! The founder and only wizard of the School of Butler !

I will test you!”

Butler shouted and gathered mana.

Then space twisted around Mount Tai.

Butler dealt with the magic of manipulating space. He was able to fold the space and leap a long distance, twist the space so that he could not reach the attack at all, or he was a wizard at the level of direct attack on the opponent.

What Bartler did to Taesan was, first of all, to seal the movement.

And it was pressure.

Guguk.

Blocks the space so Taesan cannot move. Then, little by little, the pressure is applied. It makes breathing difficult and presses the muscles of the whole body to the point where you can feel the pain.

Taesan didn’t show any movement.

Butler’s mouth twisted. Right now, Taesan must be feeling pain similar to being tortured while his whole body was tied up. El Ria, who was watching from behind, frowned.

“That’s too much.”

As she was about to get up, a staff blocked her path.

“Grandpa?”

“Watch. There will be no problem.”

The old man gazed at Mount Tai with calm eyes.

Kuguguk.

The pressure of space becomes more and more intense.

Butler was thinking of putting things in order. Any more pressure than this could be life threatening.

‘It must have been a threat enough.’

If the magic is released, his expression will change in an instant and he will collapse. And you will look at yourself with fear. Bartler tried to dispel the magic with anticipation.

“Is it like this?”

Taesan murmured.

He moved his hand, fiddling with the pressure of space.

“It is definitely unique. At least it’s magic I can’t handle.”

“What!”

Butler’s pupils widened.

Now he was tying Tae-san’s whole body. It was normal for him to not be able to change his expression, let alone move his body.

However, Taesan was calmly touching the twist of space as if taking a walk.

“What!”

Butler violently raised his strength.

A huge sphere of space was formed around Mount Tai. The space itself was twisted, creating a space in which life could not survive even for a moment. My vision

twisted and the scenery blended.

In the twist of such a space, there was no change in the shape of Mount Tai.

It was as if it hadn’t been reached.

“This…

“It’s a test of magic, so it’s right to use magic.”

[You activated a stack of magic.]

[You activated a twist.]

[You activated a twist.]

[You activated a twist.]

Mana is condensed.

Those who watched held their breath. A wave of powerful mana was instantly gathering in Taesan, who had not felt anything.

Magic that even high-level people can’t easily understand.

Only the condensation of mana was cracking the sphere of space.

A tear fell in the old man’s eyes.

[You have activated magic release.]

[You have activated partial attunement of magic.]

The distortion of space shattered the sphere.

* * *

“Cool!”

Butler collapsed, vomiting blood. It was a reaction that occurred because he tried to handle magic beyond his limits and failed.

“This… what the hell…

Konstria groaned.

Intermediate magic. Twist. It was magic they could handle.

However, it seemed that he would never be able to reach the power of Mount Taesan in front of him.

All wizards except for the old man could not open their mouths at the sight in front of them.

“Who’s next?”

Taesan’s voice echoed in the silence.
