The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 302
`In the history of human magic, there has never been a great mage who has reached the ninth circle.
But that wasn’t too much.
The number of ‘geniuses’ who could reach the level of the 9th circle was limited, and that genius did not come easily.
At some point, wizards compared the 9th circle to 150 years.
It means that it takes 150 years for one person with the talent to reach the 9th circle to appear.
And 300 years have passed since the appearance of the last great mage of the 9th circle. During that period, not only the Magic Tower, but even Walpurgis, the 8th circle was the limit.
Some have even called the present age the Dark Age of Magic.
It meant that the 9th circle didn’t exist… ….
And before they knew it, wizards began to take the world without the 9th circle for granted.
They settled down, and the scale of the ‘universal magic state’ they recognized became the 8th circle.
okay.
That is until today.
“…What?!”
Excluding the tower owner, the first to feel the change were the elders.
They suddenly felt the pulsation of mana in the air and intuited that it was by no means a normal phenomenon.
Mana fluctuations.
Even if the mana of the tower, which has a unique concentration compared to other regions, fluctuates like this… ….
“no way.”
Naturally, one of the elders thought of ‘possibility’.
9th circle.
When a new 9th circle is born, mana itself fluctuates in response to the great mage’s will.
The higher the circle, the bigger the gap to the next level.
Right now, top players are in the 8th circle, but there is a huge gap with the 9th circle.
That’s about the tower’s strongest person, Topju.
However, how will ‘9th Circle’ feel from the perspective of the elders who have not escaped from the 7th Circle?
“How….”
A sense of helplessness that had not been felt even when they saw the 8th circle, Topju, began to weigh on the shoulders of the elders.
Then there is only one answer.
“…Warrior.”
At the same time, the elders recalled the young man who had recently visited the tower.
Unprecedented genius wizards who reached the level of the 8th circle at an age less than half their own.
Even creating a new way of magic as a ‘hero’… ….
He was full of confidence.
Of course, the confidence that you will be able to reach the ‘new path’.
Moreover, it seemed that he did not have the slightest idea that he would fail when he demanded a price on the condition of normalizing the tower owner.
“The hero is in the 9th circle…?”
“Ha, but to be in the 9th circle at such a young age! How could that be possible?!”
“I don’t know. In the first place, isn’t your family’s blood very special? Since the culprit is not a bloodline that can be measured… ….”
Even the elders of the tower know about the special blood of Walpurgis.
Doesn’t history prove it?
Walpurgis has produced great mages from generation to generation.
And that founder made a name for himself as the great mage of the ‘9th circle’.
Another possibility would be Topju, who is currently the best great mage in the Tower.
‘The quality of refined mana is different.’
I could faintly feel the aura of divine power in the currently fluctuating mana.
Energy that could not be mixed in the original.
Not only in the tower, but in the entire world, there was only one person who used such a strange mana.
“If that hero truly reached the 9th circle, maybe we are now in a scene in the history of magic.”
“Heh heh…I never thought I would see you this way.”
Even as he said that, the faces of the elders were filled with unbearable excitement.
As a mage, the 9th circle was literally a ‘miracle’.
Just as excitement was brewing among the elders, one of them opened his mouth.
“But, of course, that hero…?”
“….”
“If someone like that is a member of the 9th circle, should I say that the weight of the 9th circle is off….”
At those words, there was silence between the elders.
But the expression speaks.
…I know?
It reminds me of the table where they were bargaining right in front of their noses over what they were going to pay for.
– Oh, are you going to use that much warrior? These people are confined to the tower and don’t know much about society.
“It’s dark….”
With a short moan, the elder who had grabbed the back of my neck earlier grabbed my back again.
The other elders hurriedly used magic to calm him down.
“Calm down, calm down!”
“I can understand your heart, but what if I do that and the circle gets twisted!”
Didn’t he barely recover after falling ill with a vase not too long ago?
I can’t afford to lose one precious elder for nothing.
The elder, who barely came to his senses, spoke with difficulty.
“It’s not something… ….”
yeah something… …okay.
Speaking of a great mage from the 9th circle, shouldn’t he look a little like a wise man?
That warrior is… ….
“Rather than being the Grand Mage of the 9th Circle, it’s just a barbershop….”
“…hmm.”
No one present could deny that.
He just stares into space with a somber expression.
vanity.
What the heck is the 9th circle?
“….”
Whiing.
Such thoughts blew like a cold wind in the hearts of the elders.
“By the way, if you truly reached the 9th circle, what should you do to receive the teaching?”
“That is….”
The faces of the elders all turned pale.
I can’t quite figure out what the heck a warrior like the barberman is asking for.
But what needs to be done now is clear.
“…Let’s start with the study of divine magic. It is to organize the curriculum and make it a top compulsory subject. If the 9th circle is black, it should be black.”
“It will turn, really.”
It seems that the meeting with the 9th circle they imagined was not like this… ….
…Well, maybe.
Isn’t reality always disappointing?
* * *
“Long time no see.”
this sense.
Fullness felt throughout the body.
I could even feel the power that was different from the 9th circle before the return.
The circle style itself has also advanced, and besides, I am a being with a godhead.
In all respects, I am no longer comparable to before the return.
It’s a problem because there aren’t enough people to deal with in the future.
– …It’s the 9th circle.
Ptah did not hide his surprise at all and evaluated the circle style I had put together.
– It’s a circle type of reverse. Haha well I remembered this.
“There is no reason to insist on the original circle method when there is a better way.”
– It’s a circle style that only you can digest, but what… …There is definitely upward compatibility, but there is no need to insist on the backward compatibility circle method.
As Ptah said, this ‘circle ceremony’ is only for me.
In the case of a circle type with versatility, the top owner is currently developing it while racking his brains.
In addition, the topic of ‘divine magic’ will be studied quickly with the active cooperation of the elders… ….
It’s not bad.
The shape of the circle currently rotating inside my body is clearly different from the existing circles.
Reverse circle.
Should I say it is the essence of everything I diligently researched, including before the regression?
Simply reaching the 9th circle is not important.
More importantly, this ‘reverse circle’ is directly related to the 10th circle.
‘I realized something the moment I destroyed the circle before returning and stepped into the 10th circle.’
It’s simple, but there is a limit to the existing circle method.
It was the same even in a country that had reached the level of a demigod.
Reaching the 10th circle required more conditions than I thought.
Isn’t that what a divine state is like in the first place?
It would be nice if we could reach the existence of God simply by realizing it, but it is not so easy to do things in the world.
– What are you planning to do?
“Why didn’t you reach the 9th circle? Besides, if you want me to be imprinted on the tower, it would be better to appear a bit flashy.”
I came out with those words.
The first thing to be seen was the pagoda pillar buried among the research materials.
Now he seems to have evolved a step and is almost half a lich.
“That uh….”
“You are working hard. Seeing the pagoda lord burning with a passion for learning, my heart naturally warms.”
“…You warrior?”
Tower owner, who hurriedly stood up between the research materials, looked at me.
At a glance, it seems that he didn’t even notice that I had reached the 9th circle because I was studying after research.
“Did you pass the ordeal?! would you have?! I can now be freed from this damn research?!”
“Isn’t that something that the tower owner can use some magic?”
“Yeah magic!”
Has the great wizard of the 8th circle melted even his brain at the end of his life as a graduate student?
What a sad reality.
[You did it.]
“Um.”
Indeed…It’s a sad reality.
After a while, the Tower Master, who was trying magic, hit the desk and roared.
“It didn’t work, damn it!”
“Of course I took the 9th circle.”
“…what?”
Topju stared at me with eyes as if a person was immersed in them.
“I filmed that for a while, but why didn’t the ordeal pass…?”
“Is that because I don’t want to end it?”
“야 이 개새끼야!”
In the end, Top Owner shed tears and cursed desperately.
The tower owner I remember was really stubborn and was like the incarnation of rules and theories… ….
It’s such an emotional look.
I really changed the world differently from before the regression.
Ah, how proud I can be!
[No, don’t be proud… ….]
Set bet on the other side, but what can I do to be really proud of it?
I made this guy mad! I can control the emotions of the tower owner now!
“It’s a joke. Soon the ordeal will pass. The tower lord will be able to get the circle back too.”
It would have been better if I stayed up all night like that for a week.
As a warrior who knows compassion and kindness, I had no intention of putting the lord in an unreasonable situation.
yes at all
“Then do it right away! Why the hell aren’t you doing it now?!”
“What is it? It’s because of the directing.”
Directing is very important.
Even if it’s the same appearance, depending on what kind of impression you show, what you get will be completely different.
“From now on, the direction of the tower will have to be completely different. It means that you can’t just concentrate on research in a closed atmosphere like before.”
“…That means.”
At my words, the top lord calmed down his excitement.
What I just said would have been enough to force him to keep his cool.
“Do you mean to advance the tower to the outside? Even if it means abandoning the beliefs we have held so far?”
“Yes, that’s what I mean.”
I answered firmly.
“A god who is hostile to mankind has already descended into this world. He will not compromise, and it is certain that he will burn this land to ashes as soon as he regains his full strength.”
“….”
“Circle 9? It’s nothing compared to God. It’s still a long way off. Right now, humanity is in a situation where even if it moves to the limit, it is not enough. And the top… …No matter what anyone says, it can be said to be one of the most important bases for mankind.”
Before returning, the tower was silent.
It was not intended.
It is just a forced ‘silence’ due to the overlap of the innate closedness and the rapidly changing situation.
It was too late to accept news from the outside, and it was too late to change accordingly. As a result, the magic tower sank without a sound.
don’t let that happen anymore
never.
“The Mage Tower must change.”
I continued talking while staring straight at the pagoda with a complicated expression.
“I will make it change.”
* * *
The atmosphere in the tower boiled over.
The elders were the first to sense the change, but the other wizards under them didn’t even notice it at all.
“I heard that a mana wave corresponding to the 9th circle was observed?”
“Heh heh…Is that true? That’s why the Tower Lord… ….”
“No, it’s a little different.”
The wizards were curious about the sudden change and continued discussions with each other.
And accordingly, the rumors became more specific.
The birth of the 9th circle!
You are literally witnessing a page in history.
Even the basically calm atmosphere of the magic tower had no choice but to boil for now.
Meanwhile, a convocation order was issued to all the wizards in the tower.
The wizards gathered in perfect order in the plaza in the center of the tower.
Is it related to the 9th circle?
If so, can we possibly receive the teachings of the 9th circle?
The tower wizards tried to hide their excitement and waited.
And soon after, a young man appeared with a staff in front of the wizards gathered in the plaza.
“…Warrior?”
“Ummm, no way the 9th circle….”
Hero Mikhail Walpurgis.
He appeared in front of everyone with a relaxed expression.
What to say.
It must be a story related to the 9th circle that I felt this time.
Is it enlightenment? Or will it be a just and noble speech about a sense of mission as a warrior?
Either way, it will be a valuable time for wizards who are always thirsty for new ‘knowledge’.
The elders of the tower also sneaked down and watched the hero.
That moment when everyone’s eyes were focused.
“everyone.”
The warrior’s mouth opened slowly.
“Do you believe?”
conduction ON.
