Episode 79. Chief’s Dignity (3)
[Crack in Broken Dimension].
True to its name, the landscape of the rift was unusual.
Although it is a rift that boasts a strange landscape.
You’ve crossed the bizarre level here.
‘It’s roughly similar to when the graphics were broken.’
Above all, reality and arcana.
The landscape of either world was not clearly visible.
I don’t know if this expression is appropriate.
It was a scene as if a crack had been forcibly opened…
‘Wait.’
Then, a thought suddenly came to my mind.
Today wasn’t Thursday.
new update.
It was not the day when new cracks appeared.
If so, the [crack in the broken dimension] is not a planned crack.
My impression that it is like a crack that has been forcibly opened is also not nonsense.
“Do all cracks look like this?”
“no. Kii’s space isn’t so bad.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Indeed, it was Marcelo.
It must be the first time you’ve entered the rift.
Noticing something suspicious right away.
Marcelo continued.
“As you said. It wouldn’t be good for the internal situation to be known to the outside world.”
It wasn’t anyone else, it was something related to the Mage Tower’s leadership.
What if it wasn’t enough that the senior mage’s whereabouts were unknown, and the news that his whereabouts were related to the Mage Tower leadership? The ripple effect won’t be a joke.
“We will finish it quickly.”
Marcelo’s Manifesto.
say it again
I can’t be this strong sincerely.
Marcelo’s body shook with magical energy.
Because I watched it once, I noticed the search process as soon as I saw it.
It was tracking magic.
Suddenly, Marcelo’s wide eyes flashed.
“I have captured the magical power of Bangrit. I will open the portal.”
The portal is immediately released.
…If it were me, a third of my mana would have been lost with just two apparitions.
It didn’t seem like Marcelo was wasting any magic power.
Get to grips with the subject again.
Even though I still have a long way to go, I still have a long way to go.
But as far as my presence.
Because I never lag behind others.
Again—
“…Who are you!”
It’s all because of the sound of these shoes.
Due to the character of Grandfel, it is impossible to kill a human.
That stride is always full of power.
“Ma Marcelo? Even co-researcher Lee Ho-yeol?”
Thanks to that, I was able to face Bangrit, whose face turned white. Tousled brown curly hair. I swallowed a sigh of relief at the reaction that seemed to be very flustered.
‘It doesn’t seem hostile.’
It was Marcelo who spoke first before me.
“Bangrit. I can guess what the story is.”
“…Chief Marcelo. I am.”
“We did not come all this way to interrogate you.”
“…!”
Bangritt lowered his head.
I feel fortunate once again.
If I came into this rift alone, look.
‘I must have just spit out vicious words from the start.’
You said you recognized him when he tried to bribe you.
To say I ruined the conference I organized because of you.
I realize this all over again.
‘Isn’t it for nothing that there is a saying that you can pay off your debt with words?’
However, it seems impossible to convince with words.
It was because the mana flowed from Bangrit’s body.
“…I already know you’re not like that, Chief Marcelo. But sorry. I cannot miss this opportunity!”
pure magic.
There is no inefficient search process.
Because it uses only pure magical power as its weapon, its destructive power is second to none magic. Banglit Tom is called the pinnacle of such pure magical science.
Gooooo—
he manifested his magic.
“Please forgive my rudeness.”
Soooooooo-!
I could figure it out as soon as I saw it.
A beam of condensed magic power.
The structure of the magic is simple and clear without any analysis.
The search target is only vast magical power.
Interference that only maximized destructive power.
And the fastest expression ever.
“!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
Its destructive power was beyond imagination.
Jijijijik—!
The earth shattered and the atmosphere stirred.
Even the rising dust evaporated without a trace.
…is it true?
What’s even more frightening is that Bangrit’s magic didn’t contain murderous intent. Bangrit was just trying to get us away. The deviated trajectory of the magic was proof of that.
But even with the destructive power of missed magic.
How powerful is this?
You mean this is the senior mage of the Mage Tower?
It wasn’t for nothing that the Magic Tower was called the strongest armed group on the Arcana continent…! After Marcelo created a shield, he offset the storm.
Indeed, it is a self-defense method that is possible because it overflows with mana.
‘I envy you like crazy.’
Naturally, I’m in a position where I have to stock up on mana as much as possible.
Grumpy as always.
I had to use everything I didn’t have.
The target of that search is the pure magic that overflows in this space.
To be precise, it was Bangrit’s magic.
I search for the aftermath of the raging magical power.
He intervened and manifested magic.
Of course, complex interference is impossible.
As I said, the power was no joke.
In order not to get caught up in it, the interference process must be simplified.
Of course it wasn’t even necessary.
The search target is just pure magical power.
How should I intervene and manifest such pure magical power?
Because it was learned through experience.
Fluffy—
Hundreds of spheres of magical power floating in the air.
yes it was light
The basic magic light of pure magic science.
“…!!”
The stinging gazes felt in the moment.
Marcelo and Bangrit seemed to see how they couldn’t.
In this place where all kinds of high-ranking magic are rampant.
You would never have imagined seeing such trivial basic magic.
But this is my best and my way.
With the trivial figure of level 296.
It means struggling to survive in a level 900 crack.
Even if you look at it with those eyes, you can’t help it.
I said shamelessly.
“It’s a bit harsh for a welcome. Bangrit Tom Senior Mage.”
If you live with only your mouth on the subject that you snared back.
cried Bangrit.
“Damn please leave me alone!”
At this point, I was sure.
…Shouldn’t it help me to shut up and stay still?
Soooooooo-!
Because Bangrit made the magic rampage again.
But this time Marcelo wasn’t watching either.
Similarly rapid expression.
Kwak Kwak Kwak—!
A scene where vast magical powers collide.
The winner seemed clear.
Marcelo opened his mouth.
“I don’t want this pointless thing. Banglet.”
That’s why Marcelo took the chief’s seat.
Yes, it was Marcelo who succeeded in establishing the majority of existing magic as a theory.
That said, no wizard knew the compatibility of biting and biting magic better than Marcelo.
“shit!”
In the end, it was Bangrit who withdrew.
Short-range teleport.
Bangrit hastily dodged.
…thanks that the battlefield is in the cracks.
Imagine that you hit this mess in real life.
It was a scale that would not be strange even if dozens of buildings were blown away and mountains collapsed. However, the outcome of this match seemed obvious.
chief and senior.
Because the difference seemed obvious.
Did Bangrit even notice that fact?
I couldn’t express my magic in a hurry.
Such a banglet——he said after grinding his teeth.
“…do you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“That was the reason. The reason I came here.”
Bangrit glared at Marcelo.
“Chief Marcelo, who was born with great talent and was born into the lineage of a Madou family with a high reputation in the empire, will never be able to understand my feelings.”
The Marcelo family was very nice.
But why are you looking at me all of a sudden?
“So are you. Lee Ho-yeol, co-researcher.”
I was startled that the thief had numb my feet.
…Could it be that you noticed my dark history? Even being
the heir to the great Cloudy family and
possessing an embarrassingly great talent?!
however.
Of course, that setting is only my secret.
“Sufficient enough to counter my magic with a fleeting moment of pure magic. If only I had the same talent as you…! There would have been no reason to come here.”
As you can see.
It was simply about my talent.
But the unfortunate thing is the same.
Bangrit needed to look beneath the surface.
I need to see how much I struggle.
I can’t make such a stupid sound.
It seemed that Marcelo also sympathized with my old-fashioned thoughts.
“Bangrit. You have a big misunderstanding.”
“misunderstanding…?”
“My life is not great enough to make you jealous.”
“…what kind of small grain is that? Chief Marcelo?”
“You will understand sooner or later.”
Was it simply to console you?
There was no way that such a word would reach Bangrit’s ears.
Bangrit gritted his teeth again and shouted.
“Before I ask for understanding, why don’t you understand me, Chief Marcelo? I don’t have bloodline or talent. Doesn’t the chief know it well? Because of a guy like me, the position of pure magic science is going to plummet…!”
Suddenly, I remembered what Marcelo had said.
Did you say that your self-esteem is poor compared to your skills?
There’s no word more adequate to describe bangrit than that.
I could have guessed what the other wizards in the Mage Tower would look like if they heard that.
I don’t know much about Bangrit’s unfortunate family history, but if everything he said is true
…
That wasn’t enough, so I became a senior wizard.
In the end, it’s about being proud of yourself.
So there was no reason to listen any more.
No, at first it didn’t make any sense.
I opened my mouth.
“The grumbling ends there. Banglet Tom.”
“…Did you say complaining?”
“I am not curious about your lineage or talent.”
Evaluate someone based only on their bloodline and innate talent?
Grandfell’s pride could not tolerate such an action.
Of course, it wasn’t the pride that would change just by hearing a specific story.
yes this moment
There’s only one thing that damn pride wants.
“Keep in mind that the conference isn’t over yet.”
The last presenter of the regular conference.
It was to set Bangrit Tom in the Crystal Hall.
“All I want to know about you is your research.”
“…!”
“It’s not about family or bloodline talent.”
At my words, Bangrit muttered to himself.
“Ha Society! I did my best to prepare, but I completely forgot about it.”
It’s a reaction that seems to have come to its senses now.
Marcelo let out a sigh.
But it’s not over yet.
Because my pride is not yet satisfied.
“But before that.”
“?”
“I will ask you to take responsibility for the current situation.”
Yeah, I’ll have to make sure I move on.
The reason why I came to the crack in such a hurry that I completely forgot even the academic conference I prepared with my best.
The reason why he talked about the difference between bloodline and talent in such a crack.
Even the last conversation he had with the head of the Mage Tower.
You will have to submit a reason that the pride judges reasonable.
Only then will I be able to present my research at regular conferences.
Bangrit grabbed his head.
“…I received a call from an elder mage during a regular conference.”
Marcelo nodded.
“I was guessing. What kind of conversation did you have, exactly?”
“It was about this rift.”
“indeed.”
I had expected it so far.
I asked.
“There must be a reason why this kind of rift is more important than the conference.”
“That is. When I think about it now, I don’t know.”
“What does that mean?”
Bangrit was a really confused sight.
“The elder said that there is truth in this rift.”
“Is there truth in the cracks? Did the elder say that?”
“Absolutely. There will be the truth you seek in the cracks. If you hold onto that truth, no one will look down on you…”
Marcelo’s expression became serious.
The reason was simple.
“Don’t you know, Bangrit? The truth is not something that can be grasped so easily. Because you can’t get it easily. Even what is called the truth.”
“I know! So it’s confusing. Why did my judgment get clouded by those words…”
“I understand enough. You don’t have to think too hard about it. Let’s go back and share the story about him. Would that be okay?”
I nodded to Marcelo, who begged for his understanding.
Pride was not convincing.
Just because I noticed.
‘To have such a suspicious conversation.’
That the elder mage had no intention of leaving Bangrit alive.
As I thought so, my doubts grew even more.
why.
Could the elder mage, who can be said to be the head of the mage tower, try to harm the senior mage, Bangrit Tom?
What was the reason for luring Bangrit into the rift by citing the truth?
complicated.
What kind of guy’s internal circumstances are so complicated.
My head is breaking just thinking about it.
But tangled questions.
It came off easily after a while.
Kwajik-!
“!!!”
A roar echoing through the cracks.
The landscape collapses like a broken graphic.
A huge grip protruded from the collapsed gap.
Kwajijik-!
A black, vicious grip seized the space.
Kwaji Jijik—!
I started tearing up the space.
“What is that…?”
Bangritt and even Marcelo were speechless at the sight.
But I noticed
How could Bangritt have been fooled by such an obvious lie?
Why did he lure him through such a rift?
Also, what is the identity of that huge hand?
It was all thanks to the message that popped up in front of my eyes.
[The skill ‘Natural Relations’ is activated.]
A demon hunter’s keen senses.
Has the sense of smell developed?
I thought I smelled stinky from the start.
“Foolishly.”
I took out an offering from my inventory.
[The Pentagram of Impure Knowledge]
[Rating: Epic]
[Restriction: None]
[Effect: Sealed]
[Description: The effect was sealed because of the curse of the devil. In order to know the proper effect, it must be purified.]
“You are hastening the order. You inferior race.”
[‘The Pentacle of Impure Knowledge’ has been selected as the sacrifice.]
[
The skill ‘Exorcism’ is activated.]
[Invite ???
The name of the question mark demon was unknown.
But what if it was a nameless demon?
Grandfell cannot hesitate in front of the devil.
The same goes for me and Lee Ho-yeol.
‘I wonder if it’s normal.’
Right now, on either side of me are the chief and the senior of the magic tower.
Because Marcelo and Bangrit were there.
So, no matter who it was, it was caught correctly.
Even if he became a demon king or a gigantic evil.
It was because this moment was just an experience.
