.

The sky came closer in an instant. It’s close enough that you might think you could touch it if you stretched out your hand.

blue sky.

Along with the extremely low temperature, the cool wind shook the hem of the robe randomly.

Flutter Flutter -.

Clouds were drifting from a place lower than the snow. A feeling of floating enough to make your mind dizzy for a moment.

Surprised, Russell raised his eyes.

It wasn’t just because it soared vertically into the lofty sky.

I thought this would be possible from the moment I figured out Cloudy Ring’s new abilities.

Why Russell was surprised nonetheless. that’s right-.

‘Only with that much leap…’

It was that the height soared with such a minor leap was absurd.

I thought I would rise high, but I never thought I would reach this height.

‘Perhaps it’s because of that cloud.’

When I lowered my gaze a little, I saw a white cloud firmly supporting my feet.

To be precise, it feels like standing on a cloud.

As I turned over and straightened my center, I could clearly see the world beneath my feet.

The castle walls of the royal capital piled high and the four magic towers soaring as if protecting the capital.

And even the citizens of the royal capital roaming the well-organized streets. Seeing them as small as ants, Russell felt an overwhelming feeling of elation.

Besides, Cloudy Ring’s true ability wasn’t something like jumping ability.

Hwaaak-

The moment the new model finally soars to the top, the gravity that started from the ground wraps around his body like a chain.

If you stay still like this, you will surely not be able to overcome gravity and fall to the ground!

‘then-.’

The moment the fall began, Russell moved his ankle.

He bounced his toes as if he were kicking a spur in empty space.

That moment

────────────!

The air burst out.

Russell’s body, which had been falling, soared up again.

At speeds beyond the speed of sound, a shockwave bursts out before the sound.

Kwagwagwagwa!

White cloud trails were carved along Russell’s soaring trajectory.

Much easier movement than the first time. In terms of simple flight ability, it was one level higher than fly or levitation magic.

It’s fast, of course.

‘-There is no need to reduce momentum even when turning.’

All he needed was a body strong enough to withstand the pressure of the moment.

This was the first ability of the Somersalt Foam Cloudy Ring.

‘Of course, it’s a flaw that it consumes a lot of mana.’

I thought that this much mana would be consumed just by kicking the ground and the air twice at most.

Considering the amount of mana used in actual combat, once.

Or, at best, there was a high possibility that it would be difficult to use it beyond being caught off guard twice.

‘Then next is-.’

Cloudy Ring.

Weather Form.

‘Thunder clouds!’

Weather Form was the manifestation of the cloud jade’s ability to control the weather through the cloudy ring.

Kurrrrrr-.

The sky fluctuates and the clouds gather with thoughts.

Then the gathering clouds merged with the things supporting their feet.

In an instant, he inflated his size and cast a thick shadow over the area with his ferocious spirit.

“Hoo?”

Daria, who was watching the scene from below, twinkled with interest.

The time it took for a cloud to form that was large enough to cover the entire lake was literally an instant.

It was more than twice as fast as the 7th Circle Master’s climate control magic.

If you can pour out large army magic at this speed, it will be possible to annihilate an entire legion in an instant, as well as destroy a castle at once.

Moreover, the completed cloud was not an ordinary cloud.

Kurung Kurureung -.

It was a thundercloud containing lightning. It was unusual to see the bright blue thunderbolt shining nonstop over the lake.

It was clear that if he just stomped his feet like this, the gathered thunderbolts would rain down on the lake.

Judging by the amount of lightning and mana that could be seen through the clouds, if it rained down, it would have the power to evaporate much of the water in the lake!

However.

‘—Ugh.’

Russell couldn’t pour out his magic. Rather than pouring out, dizziness and a terrible sense of exhaustion came first.

‘The magic consumption is too great.’

Russell gritted his teeth at Mana, who quickly showed the floor.

The thundercloud that had been supporting his feet also disappeared in an instant.

From the time I hit the air with the Somersalt Form, I felt that the magical power consumption was formidable, but I never thought it would be this much as soon as I switched to the Weather Form.

‘It’s not that easy to control the climate.’

With a sigh, Russell turned over.

He straightened his falling body and collected his mana.

I felt a little dizzy, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t use ‘levitation’.

chin-.

But before that, there was someone supporting Russell’s body from the side.

“Are you okay?”

It was Daria.

As soon as the thundercloud that covered the lake disappeared. Sensing that something was wrong, she threw herself into the air and helped Russell.

Russell shook his head with a slightly embarrassed expression at the unexpected support of his mentor.

“yes. Master.”

Tsutsutsutsutsut-.

Slowly slowing down and supporting Russell, Daria’s model slowly begins to descend.

“Air leap and hyperacceleration. And climate control… I know the approximate ability, but it seems like it’s not easy to consume mana.”

“yes.”

It’s a shame because even that was Russell, who had magic that was twice as pure as the others.

If it was someone else, I wouldn’t have been able to properly implement even the thundercloud. However, that never gave me a reason to console myself or be relieved of my skills.

‘The fact that I failed to use magic in the end remains the same.’

With that thought, the feet of the two touched the floor.

widely-.

Daria laughed and recited, as if she had read the student’s thoughts.

“Since you have acquired an instrument that exceeds your ability, you must work diligently to handle it. I am the youngest.”

Seeing the teacher giggling and giving advice, Russell smiled bitterly and nodded.

* * *

The 6th basement floor of the museum and the royal treasury.

Despite finishing two big schedules, Russell’s daily life did not become relaxed at all.

Rather, it was flowing more and more.

It has to be.

There was not one or two things Russell had to do now.

As a War Mage of the Tower of Flames, he was given large and small assignments, as well as spending time as a member of the royal family and the princess’ fiancée.

‘Still, is it fortunate that Hecate is feeling a little better?’

It was Hecate who had been in a bad mood for days because of the necklace he had received from Muyaho.

How much effort he made to visit her whenever he had time to relieve Hecate’s mood.

Recalling the effort he had made at the time, Russell laughed lightly.

‘In front of others, she is the iron-blooded princess herself, but only in front of me does she occasionally show that kind of side.’

Of course, Russell himself didn’t feel too bad about Hecate.

‘Oops.’

Feeling distracted and distracted for a moment, Russell rose from his seat.

“Grunt.”

He moved his body around with a groan.

Woo deuk dudeuk-.

Every time I loosen my shoulders and turn my waist, the sound of big and small bones resonates everywhere.

Confirming the sound, Russell murmured.

‘I’ll live a little.’

When I open the window, the cool night air pours into the laboratory.

Hwaaak-!

The panoramic view of the royal road sky, where the darkness of the night was thick, came into my eyes.

In addition, on the night street of the royal road overlooking the street, shops that look like bars are lit up one by one.

It was night.

‘The last time I woke up was around lunchtime-.’

It’s like I’ve been sitting in my seat for almost eight hours, not moving.

‘Even so, it’s only twenty pages.’

In terms of efficiency, roughly two pages per hour would be a little over.

Looking at the bundle of papers still piled up in front of him, the essence of earth magic, Russell let out a muddy breath.

‘It wouldn’t have taken this long if I briefly grasped the core and moved on, but…’

Trying to understand all the theories and essences embedded in it is bound to be slow.

‘It would be nice if there was someone who could help.’

The question was who to get help from.

The first person that comes to mind is her teacher, Daria Snowwhite.

Although he was the owner of the Tower of Flames and was a wizard who was considered the pinnacle of fire magic, he must have quite a bit of knowledge in earth magic as he reached the 8th circle.

However-.

‘Honestly, it won’t be easy.’

Contrary to how he seemed relaxed every time he met, Russell was well aware of how busy he was as the owner of the Tower of Yeom.

Even in the midst of that, he was a teacher who even took time out to help her practice for several hours every week.

‘I can’t take more of Master’s time.’

Of course, if you ask, I won’t refuse.

‘A person who has a deep understanding of earth attribute magic, but has a level of 6th circle or higher.’

The next thing that came to my mind was Niccolò Machiavelli, the owner of the Wangdu Yellow Tower.

As Endymion is the best land magic expert, if he helps you, you will be able to improve your understanding more quickly.

Suddenly, Russell shook his head.

‘Nicolo-sama is definitely a good person, but I’m not that close to him.’

In addition, considering her status as the owner of the Tower of Kings, she must be spending days similar to her teacher, Daria Snowwhite.

‘It’s a problem when I don’t have a wide network.’

Laughing at his narrow network, Russell soon went down to the first floor.

“Senior Russell?”

The new wizard in charge of the front opened his mouth in embarrassment at the sight of Russell approaching him.

From her point of view, who had just entered the Tower of Flames, Russell was not only a far-reaching senior, but also a wind-clouder who was rumored to be rumored.

Anyway, Russell opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“Could I get a list of mages from the 6th Circle or higher belonging to the Royal Tower?”

asked her

No one knows anyway, but I was thinking about it anyway.

“Wait a minute!”

She hurriedly lowered her head and opened the Mage Tower’s directory.

He took out a piece of paper and started writing several names on it.

Square Square -.

It didn’t take very long.

Even if it was the Wangdao Yellow Tower, the number of 6th circle mages was not that many.

“Here you are. Seniors.”

Soon after, the requested list falls into Russell’s hands.

‘uh?’

Russell, who was quickly checking the name, blinked.

One familiar name was on the list.
