Episode 90. Clearing and hidden pieces
crazy.
This is my first impression of seeing Berial and Salem fight.
Of course, anyone would attack if they knew he was a wanted criminal of the Empire, but it seemed that Burial was simply venting his anger, not for that reason.
In the first place, I thought it was a character that was worthy enough, but I didn’t know that I would go ahead without any notice.
‘Still, Salem will win in the end. I admit that Burial is great, but Salem is a monster among monsters that has the title of being one of the strongest on the continent.’
The aftermath of the fight between the two took its toll on those around them.
In the end, I had no choice but to take Lucia and fall far away.
Kwagwagwang-!
As I watched the warlock-class wizards fight while hearing the explosion that continued to explode, I thought that I would not succumb to the Auror Master at all.
With that level of magic utilization, even close combat was powerful.
“Wow….”
Lucia watched the splendid battle as if in awe.
If you think about it, later on, Lucia next to me will be stronger than the two of them.
How strong do you get to be stronger than those monsters?
Koo Goo Goo!
Kwajijik.
They seemed to do it in moderation because they knew that if they fought sincerely, they would have to give up one of their limbs. In the first place, if Warlock-class wizards fought sincerely, the aftermath of the destructive power was so great that a tolerable city would explode.
‘Can Aura Begin be fused with the original magic?’
I had this thought for a while, but it was quickly erased.
The battle ended more briskly than expected.
When Salem activates the magic circle engraved on his right hand to summon Dantalion’s book and activates the magic circle engraved on his cornea to read the book, all of Berial’s magic is canceled before it can be activated.
‘Melee combat and long-distance interception combat are close to perfect. It’s also Salem.’
In the end, Burial raised both hands and admitted that he had lost.
Of course, if it was a serious fight to kill each other, Dantalion would have fought by unraveling the twisted spells, but Berial didn’t seem to have the heart to do that.
“You cheeky bastard. You are a long way from winning me.”
“haha. You are also Master.”
There is still a difference in capabilities, but Salem’s devil summoning magic is an original magic based on contradiction. For Burial, whose origin was innocence, it could not be overturned.
‘Is that why you seduced me by offering private lessons to me, who showed me the potential for contradiction?’
Maybe Burial’s purpose was to surpass his teacher, Salem, he thought.
Salem seems to have thought that there was no point in further fighting, so he submerged the magic circle and returned to normal. It was quite a concession for Salem, who had been beaten in the first place. It must mean that he is reluctant to fight against Berial.
“It’s been a while since I’ve relaxed, and I feel refreshed. It feels good to see Master for the first time in 10 years.”
“Do the shit. Don’t do useless things to the kids and just do what you have to do. I go.”
After that, Salem left really coolly.
The messed up surroundings matched strangely with his back as he left.
Salem, who was leaving, stopped abruptly, turned to me, and said.
“Watch out for that bastard.”
It’s unexpected, but he really disappeared, leaving only that one word.
And we, who were left there, remained silent in an awkward atmosphere.
“I don’t know how you got involved with my master, but I’m glad you’re all right.”
It was my own idea that I thought it was awkward, but Berial smiled casually and spoke to me. After hearing from Salem why he was teaching me, I was a little embarrassed, but I just let it go.
“yes. By the way, head of department. Can I ask you a favor?”
“Please speak.”
“Can Lucia Everlast drop out?”
“sure. That’s no big deal.”
I deliberately didn’t say anything to him.
Rather, by asking him, he prevented Burial from being ashamed of his purpose being discovered.
It may not be a shameful personality, but it was a kind of tacit transaction.
‘If Burial wants to use me, I’ll stop using him.’
Besides, for me, who had knowledge in the game, it was worth at least one original magic.
As long as my magic skills improved, I was confident that I could always make it with the knowledge I had.
Right now, it was far more beneficial to quickly improve my skills with his help.
“Thank you for that.”
Lucia came out and bowed her head towards Burial.
In the meantime, I took out a neutralizer from my pocket.
“This isn’t a perfect cure yet, but it will make things a little better. It also reduces pain.”
“When will this….”
“I contacted you as soon as I made it, and I was surprised to hear that you dropped out. If you have any concerns in the future, just tell me.”
That way it’s easier to manage.
Lucia took the neutralizer from me with trembling hands and held it in her arms.
I gave it to you to drink right away, so why are you hugging it?
“I didn’t even know that…. thank you. senior.”
“now. I don’t know exactly what happened, but let’s go back now. If you stay here, you will probably get into trouble.”
The noise from the fight between Salem and Burial that had just happened could have been heard from nearby cities. It’s only a matter of time before the City Vigilante or the Imperial Guard arrive.
After we finished talking, we immediately returned to the academy.
* * *
The evolution of my black magic talent was a little different from what I thought.
I thought that a gifted person would evolve into a gifted person, but the category has changed.
[Black Magic (Suite)]
was removed from the word “Death Spirit” and changed to a more comprehensive talent.
It was unexpected, but rather good.
It is only a matter of time before a gifted person evolves into a gifted child anyway.
‘Thanks to that, I can apply Kyler’s shadow magic right away.’
Combat options increased.
Of course, you may not be able to apply it like Kyler right now, but you will be able to handle it like that as you gradually build up your proficiency. No, rather, I was confident that I could use it better than Kyler.
‘At this point, the original… …?’
Original magic was not unconditionally difficult.
As I said, original magic can be considered as a kind of unique skill tree, but at the bottom of the skill tree, there were, of course, beginner and low-level magic. I wondered if it would be possible for me to create such low-level magic.
Needless to say, I have already played several wizard characters and created many original spells. Of course, making it yourself and making it in a game are completely different issues, but the idea and the final image remained.
‘If I mix Kyler’s shadow and Morne’s black magic book, I think I’ll get a pretty good result.’
I was thinking of turning Mirinae, the Fairy Queen, into an undead.
I felt the need to strengthen my strength for future episodes, but I was expecting something good to come out.
“Still, the cure comes first.”
Nearly a month had already passed since Lucia’s withdrawal from school.
I have evolved my potion talent in advance, but the evolved potion talent has become a gifted person.
Thanks to that, it seemed that sooner or later the outline of Lucia’s cure would be drawn.
‘I want to see the results at least before the midterm evaluation comes.’
First playable Lewis’s first midterm evaluation after coming to the academy.
Like the world that was a game, the joint evaluation of the 1st year knight department and the 4th year magic department is conducted a little artificially.
If it was originally the same, the 1st grade trio and Diene would meet for the first time here, but Louis and Diene have already known each other due to the exchange circuit. In addition, the black magic potion commotion that should have happened at this time ended prematurely.
Anyway, if the black magic potion commotion was gone, it would have been just a normal evaluation, but the content and schedule of the evaluation were all well known.
‘Interim evaluation in the next week.’
This midterm evaluation was a kind of preparation.
In the Rodelene Empire, those graduating from Rodlen Academy every year were given the opportunity to climb the ‘Tower’ that existed in the Imperial Palace, and this evaluation was a test that implemented the tower as a degraded version.
The purpose was to let them experience the ‘Tower’ in advance through this, but no one has seen the end of this degraded version yet.
‘There’s a hidden piece hidden here.’
It wasn’t really hidden to be called hidden.
It’s just that no one has ever broken it to the end because of its difficulty.
If you conquer this degraded tower to the end, you can get the reward of the first Alven family who created it.
‘Now I know how to attack.’
It was an episode that I watched dozens of times.
In most of the play, there was a commotion with the black magic potion during the evaluation, so I couldn’t go up to the end, but there was only one case where I went up to the end due to some bug luck.
It was an openly set table.
In this situation, if you can’t even open a spoon, you’re an idiot.
‘It’s already time like this.’
When I checked the time, it was the time I had promised with Berial.
He and Berial were continuing private lessons with each other’s tacit consent.
I knew roughly what his purpose was, but since I already knew, there was nothing to worry about.
In the first place, unlike the people of this world, I did not attach much importance to original magic.
Original magic is the magic that a wizard creates by melting his experience, centering on prayer. However, I have already made dozens of such original magic in the game.
It was no exaggeration to say that he had lived dozens of life cycles that other wizards would not have experienced.
‘Of course, I’m a warlock right now, and my talent is lacking, but time will gradually solve that. There’s nothing urgent.’
Rather, it was much stronger than planned, so there was no rush.
Rolling hard day and night like this is just because I have this kind of personality.
As always, when I opened the door to the lab, Burial was waiting.
“Good afternoon. Student Adrias.”
It was still hard to adapt to Berial, who smiled with the corner of his mouth raised with an incomprehensible look. Perhaps Burial’s feeling is that of deliberately fattening livestock to eat?
“yes. Head of department.”
“Then, let’s go to the personal gym today. Since you have already mastered most of the theory, let’s practice it with your body.”
“All right.”
It seemed that if he learned from Berial like this, he would soon acquire a talent related to magic.
Since there is something I’ve been doing, I want something to come out soon.
If possible, I wanted to develop my abilities before the midterm evaluation.
I know the strategy, but it’s better to be sure.
‘There’s a lot to prepare for new potions in advance.’
I was already looking forward to it.
