– Volume 17, Chapter 8
408. 81st Floor Advanced Magic (7)
A wide expanse of brown space.
Taesan was there alone.
Quest cleared. Then it was time to check the gains.
[Magic]
[Proficiency: 81%]
[Can use magic efficiently
. You can use various auxiliary powers for magic by dealing with mana itself.]
Magical proficiency reached 80%.
Perhaps the reason why he was able to deal with negative magic, albeit limitedly, was probably thanks to his increased magic proficiency.
“Is there 19% left until 100%?”
But just looking at the case of divine power, it wouldn’t really go up from here.
As I reached 80%, I gained quite a few new skills.
[Magic circle]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Can handle various magics in the form of a magic circle.]
Seeing is worth a thousand words. Taishan activated his magic.
[You activated the magic circle of the frozen world.]
Keying!
A magic circle was drawn at the feet of Mount Tai.
A cool breeze emanated from the magic circle. It contained the power to block an approaching attack and freeze the enemy.
“Did it change to a continuous form?”
It occupies space by installing magic in the form of a magic circle. Continuing to test the magic circles, it seemed that he could use up to three at the same time. Depending on how it was used, it was highly likely to be useful.
[Magical Interference]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Can interfere with opponent’s magic.]
Magic Interference. I already knew how to use it.
Weirard blocked Taesan from trying to trigger Limited Blink. Thanks to that, it was quite difficult to approach.
That way, it seemed like it could be used when the opponent was trying to activate magic. As long as the skill level is low, it will not be possible to interfere properly, but as the skill level increases, the value will increase significantly.
[Memorize]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[You can record your magic in advance and activate it when you want. So far, only three spells can be recorded.]
After reading the description of the skill, Taesan immediately tried it.
[You activated Memorize.]
[You activated Frozen World.]
[You activated Starlight Arrow.]
[You activated Limited Blink.]
After recording the magic, Taesan recorded activated magic.
Blasphemy!
Then, a frozen world was immediately realized without skill activation windows or mana waves.
Taesan stood out.
The same was true for the Starlight Arrow and Limited Blink that I tried to activate after that. Perhaps because it was activated in advance, the activation window
did not appear.
“It’s fine.”
You can use it right away without the skill activation window. Seeing that there was no mana wave, it would appear that the opponent was using magic without any warning.
It was a flaw that he could only record three spells, but it was still a useful ability.
And while passing the ordeal, he obtained two intermediate magics.
[Intermediate magic: Mana storm]
[Mana consumption: 100
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Creates a storm made of pure mana condensation.]
The mana consumption was the highest among the intermediate magics Taesan had acquired so far. Expecting that kind of power, Taishan gathered mana.
[You activated a mana storm.]
Suddenly, mana flows out and is realized in the world.
The mana that swirled little by little
became a storm and raged around the world.
Kagagakak!
A storm of intense mana sweeps away the surroundings. The power contained in it was very strong, as expected from Taesan. In terms of power alone, it was the strongest among the medium-level magic he possessed.
“Slightly different.”
Intermediate black magic Zefar’s Black Storm summoned several small storms and affected a large area.
Mana Storm, on the other hand, has a huge impact on a concentrated area in the form of a massive storm. Not bad since
both can be used for different purposes .
[Shining Blue Barrier]
[Mana Consumption: 900]
[Skill Level: 1%]
[Summons a blue barrier. It blocks the entry of hostile beings and blocks all types of attacks.] The
blue barrier was as effective as its name. When activated, a translucent barrier was created over a fairly wide area.
Looking at the description of the skill, it seemed to defend against all types of attacks.
It was a skill that seemed to be useful when returning to Earth rather than Taesan himself.
“Good.”
The value of the newly acquired magic was very high. Originally, I would have been very happy, but now that light has faded.
Taesan looked at the skill window.
[Advanced Magic: Great Collapse]
[Mana consumption: 5000]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Complete the core that causes the collapse of all things.]
The mana consumption was ridiculously high.
5000. It was about 1/4 of Taesan’s mana. There are skills that reduce intelligence and mana consumption, so it won’t consume that much mana, but it was a different level of consumption than before.
“hmm.”
After confirming advanced magic, Taesan next identified a skill that was just as important as advanced magic.
[Unclean Magic]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Unclean Magic. It creates a new magic by mixing the power of the old god and the magic of Zerband.]
Unholy magic. Taesan’s own magic created by confronting black and magic, and
its effect is absolute superiority over the opposite sex.
The power was certain. Intermediate magic offset Wirad’s black line, which could only twist the orbit. In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a power comparable to that of an immortal.
But the risks were by no means small.
First of all, it was necessary to obtain absolute control over mana in order to use it.
The problem was that the current Taesan could not obtain absolute control
. Literally, mana had to be treated like limbs, but that level was still far away.
Therefore, in order to deal with negative magic, he had to use partial world change on himself.
Partial world changes affect the world itself. It was possible to intervene by limiting a certain ability or changing it into a negative environment for the opponent. He had to give up that ability to deal with negative magic.
Having the upper hand in all aspects is obviously a powerful force, but partial world change was also a powerful enough force
.
Moreover, the amount of materials consumed when using negative magic was much greater than in other cases.
‘Definitely useful, but.’
The conditions were difficult and the consumption was high, but the return was also great.
A powerful but not easy card to use. It seemed like it could be thought of that way.
[Can’t you mix black with anything other than magic?]
“I tried it, but everything didn’t work.”
Taesan answered the ghost’s question.
It had to be mixed to the extent that the black color would not run out of control, but only magic could do that. In the case of black magic, it was rather rampant and even tried to swallow Mount Tai.
Maybe if I reached a higher level, I thought I could only combine magic and divinity.
After completing a rough check, Taesan left the room.
As I was walking down the hallway, I ran into quite a few wizards. Seeing Mount Tai, they trembled and sent intense gazes.
It contains admiration and admiration.
And it was fear.
The battle with Wirad was watched by all wizards.
Taesan’s handling of the color black was interesting and surprising, but at the same time, he felt it was alien. In fact, after that, neither Elia nor the other wizards approached Taesan.
“It’s lonely.”
[To make mouth-watering noises.]
The ghost snorted.
Taesan walked down the hallway and
arrived at a small room. opened the door and entered.
“Here you are.”
There was Wirard.
He closed the book he was reading.
“Are you thinking of leaving now?”
“Because you got everything you got.”
After winning against Weirard, Taesan did not return to the Labyrinth right away.
Wirard said he could stay here as long as he wanted to leave. He said that was Lord Zervand’s will.
There was no reason to refuse, so Taesan stayed for a while to accumulate knowledge about magic and organize the powers he gained.
But that too came to an end. Now it was time to return to the labyrinth.
Taesan said to Wirad.
“thank you. Thanks to you, I have gained a lot.”
The magic of denial came from seeing Wirad’s authority and getting a hint. It was no exaggeration to say that it was thanks to Wirard. Wirard replied indifferently.
“It was your ability that made it possible, so there is no need to thank me
.”
Wirard looked at Taesan for a while.
“You are not a wizard.”
” yes.”
Taesan nodded.
He was not a sorcerer seeking magic and seeking mysteries. He was an adventurer who acquired numerous abilities and became stronger.
Although he admired Wirad’s magic, it was a great adventure as an adventurer to reach that level by using an expedient rather than directly climbing it. Wirard laughed quietly.
“Zervand-nim told me. Invite you to become a member of the Magic Tower.”
“Is that so.”
“But you are not suitable for the Mage Tower. Go back to where you belong.”
“May I ask a question before that?”
“A question. Do whatever you want. I will give you an appropriate answer.”
“Your power.”
Dimensional Exfoliation.
The ability to create separate dimensions and deal with points and planes.
It was a force close to the law. It was at a fairly high level to say that it was the power of an immortal.
When asked about him, Willard replied.
“This is the magic tower. It is a space optimized for dealing with magical powers. And I’ve prepared a few things in the space where I confronted you. Thanks to that, I was able to handle the power beyond my qualifications.”
Willard waved his hand. A dark spot
quietly appeared.
“The level of intervention in the dimension is definitely what I want, but I can’t handle it with this simple power yet. One day we will get there, but now it is impossible.”
“okay.”
curiosity was resolved. Willard opened his mouth.
“This time, I will ask you a question from this side. you are immortal Then what is your authority?”
What are your own powers?
Taesan himself was not sure.
To put it mildly, it would be an elevation in spirit level, but that was the power Taesan had before he became an immortal. I couldn’t say it was the power of an immortal.
Even so, it was ambiguous to call it a divinity. It was a power that anyone could gain by being worshiped by people.
Guerard said, accepting the silence of Taesan as a different meaning.
“You don’t have to say anything. Authority is the power accumulated by individual immortals. That in itself is a secret. Ask another question instead. How did you deal with blackness with magic
?”
“I don’t know that either.”
He got the color black through Spiritual Ascension and was able to handle it to some extent from the beginning. That was all.
“I mean, it’s amazing. Beings within the law, even immortals, cannot handle the power of the old gods. Not only did you handle it, but you mixed it with magic and used it.”
Wirard looked at Taesan.
“It’s as if their powers are mixed in your foundation.”
At Wirad’s words, a thought passed through Taesan’s head.
Wirard shook his head.
“I’m curious, but you don’t have to worry about it because you won’t know the answer either.”
“…All right.”
“Zervand’s ordeal is over. So you must have acquired advanced magic?”
“yes.”
“Hmm.”
Wirard said with an interested face.
“I’ve never personally seen Master Zervand’s advanced magic.”
“Is that so?”
“The wizards who settled here have not yet been allowed to go there.”
The mages of the Mage Tower are all recognized by the God of Magic and entered this place.
He had that much talent and enthusiasm for magic.
However, none of the hundreds of them were allowed to use advanced magic.
Advanced magic was worth it.
“I did not learn advanced magic because I pursued my own magic. I
still have the same thoughts, but I’m interested. Why don’t we try sparring again?”
Taesan nodded. He also needed to check the power of advanced magic. If the immortal Wirad helped, nothing would be as certain.
Taesan moved to the training ground with Wirad for a final check before leaving.
Wirard waved his hand and made hundreds of black dots.
“Then let’s begin. If you activate advanced magic,
I will respond.”
Taesan nodded and collected mana.
[You have activated Great Collapse.]
Advanced magic is implemented in the world.
And at the same time, the power was condensed.
Space itself collapsed, and a terrifyingly strong force began to appear in the world as a nucleus.
A black sphere materializes in front of Taishan.
“O”
Taesan let out a small moan. A strong subordinate was caught in Taesan’s body.
Wirard’s face hardened for a moment. He quickly swung his staff. Thousands of black lines poured towards the black sphere.
Taesan fired the sphere as it was.
The core of collapse rushed towards the black ships.
Kku-gu-gu-gook!
“What!”
Willard was frightened. Although
the black line was offset by negative magic,
it meant that it had the power to offset even the negative magic mixed with black color.
All those black ships were being crushed and trampled on.
The moment it touches, the force itself collapses and disappears without a trace. Even so, the sphere did not shake at all.
He hurriedly summoned the white dot. The small white dot collided with the black sphere and the force generated a violent wave.
* * *
After checking everything, Taishan returned from the Demon Tower.
The moment he was about to return to the labyrinth, the space changed. It was a jet-black world with countless galaxies.
[Did you like it?]
Zervand stood alone in the black space.
Level up with skill
