– Volume 17, Episode 3
403. 81st Floor Advanced Magic (3)
“Can you break Bartler’s magic so easily…?”
A voice mixed with astonishment comes out.
Taishan did not change anything.
Neither his breathing nor his complexion changed. This meant that the attack itself meant nothing to him, like the whining of a child.
“…our eyes were knotted
.”
With just one test, they all realized. It is not that Taesan has no power, that they have reached a level that they cannot even feel.
All of them are outstanding wizards recognized by the magic gods’. I wasn’t stupid enough to deny what was happening right in front of my eyes.
“I’m in trouble.”
Elia scratched her head with a shy face and said to Taesan who came back after the exam.
“There must be a reason why Zervand allowed advanced magic. I was stubborn for nothing
.”
“Did you guys suggest about the test?”
“huh. Originally, Zervand-sama was thinking of a different method. But we strongly suggested it.”
They said they would test the mountain and see if he was worthy of advanced magic.
Gervand accepted their request.
“But how did that happen?”
Elia looked at Mount Tai with a wry smile.
“You are really strong. much better than us.”
“Then, is this the end of the test?”
Except for the old man, the seven wizards cannot reach Tae-san. But Elia shook her head.
“no.”
Her eyes were unmoving.
“Even so, we are wizards. Are you curious too? How far will our magic work for a strong person like you? You have to do your best.”
They asked Taesan for time to design the test.
Taesan accepted the request.
After spending time reading, Elia took Taesan to the test room two days later.
“ruler! This is my test!”
Her face looked tired, perhaps because she had been up all night, but on the contrary, her eyes were shining.
Other wizards also came before long. Butler stumbled as if he hadn’t recovered yet, but somehow he sat down.
“My test is my magic. It’s doll liquor!”
she spread her arms Two white dolls flew in and stood in front of Taesan and Elia.
“It’s not us fighting, we’re controlling puppets to fight! And if you win, you pass! how is it?”
“Even if you say that, I don’t know how to use puppetry.”
“don’t worry! I will teach you the basics.”
Elia approached Taesan and held her hand. The flow of mana dug into
the mountain .
Taesan read it, analyzed it, and understood it.
“Originally, it’s impossible to do it this way, but you’re much stronger than me. You can get the basics. If you focus on mana…
“Enough.”
[You learned puppetry.]
“…It’s fast.”
Elia muttered with a confused face. I thought it would take an hour or so.
“So what?”
“That’s awkward.”
“right?”
Elia grinned and swung her mana.
“Then the test begins!”
The doll flies wildly. Its movements were very fast and intense.
A fight between dolls regardless of the user’s strength. On top of that, Taesan has just learned puppetry and can’t handle it properly. As
his level itself is overwhelmingly high,
you will quickly get used to it, but there was still a high possibility of defeat at first.
But Tae-san had no such intention.
There was no restriction that only magic could be handled.
Taesan connected Mana to the doll and said.
“Work for me.”
[You activate the drive declaration.]
The doll raises its head.
Wow!
The doll gallops. It was faster and more violent than Elia’s doll.
“Uh uh uh?”
Elia, who thought that Taesan couldn’t handle the doll properly, unknowingly let out a confused sound.
The doll collided and Elia’s doll was pushed out in an instant.
Elia hurriedly handled the doll. The doll moved without any awkwardness, just like a human being. She was obviously an excellent puppeteer.
But it was just there.
What dwells in the doll of Taishan is the commanding spirit of an immortal. The class itself was different. In an instant, Elia’s doll was broken.
“…I lost.”
A magic of his own that he devoted his whole life to. The puppetry was destroyed by Taesan’s words. Her self-esteem was shattered.
Even after that, the wizards used their own magic to test them.
However, none of them reached Taesan.
A sorceress who handles plants. Constria’s test
was to stop the plants from burrowing into Taesan’s body.
Plants couldn’t even come into contact with Taishan’s skin. The test was over in an instant.
The wizard’s next test was to block the condensation of pure mana.
Taesan simply waved his hand. The mana that the wizard had built up to the point of exhaustion by gathering all his strength was erased in that light movement.
“…haha.”
The wizard let out a laugh.
In other words, the class was different.
The magic they created meant nothing to Tae-san.
And Taesan also analyzed the wizards’ magic.
Their magic was very diverse and varied. Depending on how to use it, it could also be of help to Taesan.
But the more I got to know it, the clearer it became.
“The level is lower than that of Zervand-nim’s magic.”
“…It hurts my heart to say that.”
Elia made a hurt face.
“Didn’t you ask what they thought of their magic? I was just answering that.”
Their magic was obviously diverse and unique.
But that was all.
As a result of obsessing over the peripheral parts, the power of magic decreased. Also, the versatility of magic was quite low.
It wasn’t worth getting. Compared to the labyrinth magic Taesan had learned, it was obviously of a lower rank.
“This may be unnecessary advice, but it would be better to continue exploring Lord Zervand’s magic rather than creating your own magic.”
These are obviously strong. I could tell just by looking at Elia’s natural handling of intermediate magic.
They were wizards on a similar level to Shaian, who had volunteered to be a great wizard.
If he had fought properly, he would have been able to face off against Taesan just fine.
But they were forgetting their power.
Obsessed with his own magic,
he was tying himself up.
“In the first place, I can’t learn advanced magic at your level right now.”
Even Shaian could barely handle advanced primitive magic using the labyrinth’s systems and equipment. There was no way that those on the same level as him could handle advanced magic.
“As expected.”
Elia smiled bitterly.
She, too, knew it in her heart. That there is no point in doing this now.
But it was too cramped.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not see the path of advanced magic. As a result, the seven wizards chose to escape to create their own magic.
“Did Zervand-sama know that and fulfill our request…
Ellia realized that the magic you created was meant to show that the magic you created is, in the end, nothing more than playing house for the strong.
she grunted.
“As expected, I can’t be like Grandpa.”
It was not difficult to guess who the grandpa was
.
“You mean the owner of the magic tower here.”
“huh. He is a wizard who reached the realm with his own magic without learning Zervand-sama’s magic, which has been in place since the mage tower was built. It’s also why we started the nonsense of making magic. The person who actually made it was right next to me.”
A wizard who reached immortality with his own magic.
Elia grinned.
“It’s our magic. Seeing you who learned Zervand’s magic, it’s awkward and
low-level, but Grandpa’s isn’t like that, right? Grandpa’s test is going to be tough.”
“I know.”
Taesan calmly replied.
The test continued. Of course, I couldn’t follow the path ahead of Mount Tai.
Time passed, and only two tests remained.
“My test is this.”
A stocky middle-aged man with a long beard showed off a huge contraption.
“My magic
crystal made with magical engineering. It is itself. Try running this machine without breaking it.”
The man smiled and said. His face showed confidence that Taesan would not easily overcome the ordeal.
Taesan is obviously as strong as a monster, but this was a matter of skill, not strength. No matter how great the mountain, I had no doubt that I could not pass it until I understood the technology itself.
The man’s prediction was not wrong. Taesan had no knowledge of the device’s technology.
However, the answer to how to operate this device and how to handle it was all in Taesan’s head.
[The manifestation of Kang Tae-san’s power. The King of Mechanical Devices has been activated.]
Mana flows out naturally. The old man who was watching the water suddenly gets up. Elia, who was next to her, was startled.
“Grandpa? what’s the matter?”
The old man did not answer. I was just staring at Taishan with my eyes wide open.
“…how?”
Embarrassed voices rang out and the mechanism started working with a noise.
Taesan moved on.
I passed through a long hallway and opened the door at the end.
rattle.
The vast interior was visible. I could see the old-fashioned wooden floors and walls.
The end was invisible, as if the space itself had expanded. When I rolled my feet, I felt a strong backlash from the floor.
“This is a space created by Zervand himself. Destruction is impossible no matter how wild it is, so you don’t have to worry about that part.”
In the middle of the vast place was an old man. Holding a staff and wearing a gray robe, he
gazed at
Mount Tai with sunken eyes .
“Where are the other wizards?”
“They are watching from other places because they can get caught up here.”
The old man tapped his cane.
“I am Willard. It’s just Warard.”
don’t say class The reason is not difficult to see. To an old man who called himself Wirad, the distinction was meaningless.
“What about the rules?”
“The seal of all powers except magic.”
The staff points toward Mount Tai. Strong rules bind him.
[Activation skill [Burgish] has been sealed. The activation skill [Acceleration] was sealed. [Quick Judgment], the always-on skill, is sealed…]
The system window slowly covers my view.
Almost all skills except magic were sealed.
“This is a test by Lord Zervand, the god of magic. As long as you follow the rules of the test,
you cannot escape the rules.”
Taesan opened and closed his fists. The senses of the whole body were different from usual, probably because the skills that were always activated were also sealed.
“What next?”
“Make me out of this circle.”
There was a circle at Wirard’s feet that one person could enter.
“If you succeed in that, the final test will pass.”
“It is easy to understand.”
Taesan raised the strength of his whole body.
So far, the seven tests have been a mere eighteenth.
It had no meaning or value. Gervand should have known that too.
Nevertheless, it was one thing to accept their offer.
Wizard in front of you.
That existence alone meant that it would be an ordeal worthy of advanced magic. Wirad
looked at Mount Tae
with a wavering gaze .
“What are you… what are you?”
“An adventurer in the labyrinth. And he is on the same level as you.”
“no. Something different. You… are not like me in the essentials.”
Willard shut his mouth.
After a moment of thought, he shook his head and raised his staff.
“Anyway, I am a test tube. pass my test.”
Keying.
Power flows from the staff.
It took over space and began to rule the world.
“The magic I deal with is very simple. What do you see this as?”
Wirad stamped his staff into the air.
A black dot appeared there.
“dot.”
“okay. This is the point.”
Wirad
pulled the staff horizontally as it was.
The dots stretched horizontally.
“This is good. It is made by stretching the points in a straight line.”
Wirard pulled the staff up as it was. line stretched upwards.
“This is cotton. It is a vertical extension of the line.”
A black plane was drawn in the air.
“Dots and lines and planes. These three are my own magic and authority.”
Wirard flapped his robe.
Mana began to swallow the world.
“come. Unidentified Immortal. Challenge my authority.”
[Wirad’s power manifestation.Dimension definition
has been activated.]
Level up with skills.
