Chapter 398
The eighth Infinity Circle began to take hold in my body.
A ring in a different form from the previous rings.
An intangible circle that does not have a clear shape, befitting its name, the circle of nothingness.
It grounded my body.
‘A ring that is not tied to anything because it does not exist.’
It felt as if my entire body had become a circle.
It’s not that circles that go around my body were born.
It literally feels like my body has become a circle.
It was as if my body structure had changed into a giant ring.
‘A free spirit that is not bound by anything. The eighth stage of the By-tenor style has properties that correspond to some extent with incarnation.’
Deliberation of the power of thought.
Deliberation is free.
Since human imagination is infinite, it can not be bound by anything.
‘The difference between the two rings is the range of action.’
First Infinity Circle.
The Ring of Deliberation is a circle that uses my body as a base and causes an effect on my body.
The phenomenon that can be caused through deliberation must occur within my ‘body’.
But the eighth Infinity Circle, the Ring of Nothingness, is different.
‘The ring of incarnation works only inside my body, but the ring of nothingness can exert its power outside of my body.’
The circle of nothingness does not have my body as its base.
Unlike the ring of incarnation, it does not rotate around my body.
‘The ring of nothing revolves around the world.’
The ring of nothingness has the power to turn my body into a circle, not a circle on my body.
Make my body a circle.
Take this world as your body.
It can directly affect the world.
That is the ‘loop of nothingness’.
‘I can feel it.’
I felt the circle of nothingness and thought.
‘The ring of nothingness is quickly settling into my body. At this rate, another 20 minutes. It will completely settle in my body within that time.’
Is it because my body is changing as sensitively as the Circle?
You feel sensations that you wouldn’t normally feel.
‘Once established, about 5 minutes for the ring of radish to stabilize. Two minutes until it blends with the other rings.’
Friction between circles and circles.
The collision between my body and the circle.
Prefer speed, dislike movement for each circle.
I could feel all those things.
‘Once I’ve taken care of all the other tasks… … .’
Because you can know the relationship between circles and circles.
Because I can understand 100% of everything in Circle.
So I was sure.
‘There is 30 minutes left.’
30 minutes of work left.
After that time passes, I will be a full-fledged 8th circle wizard.
I was so sure

East Sea.
Sokcho’s dockside was a mess.
The magic fired by the dragon and the veil stall turned the sea off Sokcho into a mess.
“Why? Are you tired already?”
An aerial view of a destroyed dockside.
Bale Stoll looked at Sain and sneered.
“It’s only been five minutes.”
It was to laugh at Sein, who was breathing heavily.
“… … .”
Sein didn’t answer anything. It’s better to catch your breath at least a little to respond to that sarcastic remark.
“As expected, stamina is a weakness.”
Veil lit up her eyes.
I wanted to see the previous battles. The prediction was correct.
Compared to its overwhelming strength, Saint Binoche’s physical strength is somewhat inferior.
No, it’s not a level that falls behind, it’s a level that is miserable.
“Is it a side effect caused by the sudden absorption of the swordsman’s power?”
Accepting strong power comes with risks.
There is a high probability that Sein Binoche’s lack of stamina is a side effect caused by excessively accepting the power of the swordsman.
“At that point, I feel a little sorry. The forces absorbed for evolution all had flaws.”
Bale laughed as if he was having fun.
Absorb black magic and get forbidden.
I lost my physical strength by absorbing the power of the swordsman.
Even though he gained power equivalent to that, he lost too much.
“On second thought, I made a really stupid choice.”
Can you not laugh at this?
Bale laughed in a very good mood.
“At this point, you would have realized too.”
I look at the clown in front of me and smile leisurely.
“You can’t beat me. It has been so before, but even more so in the future.”
The victory has already been won.
Sein Binoche can’t beat Bale Stall.
“You can’t stop me.”
There is no way to stop the veil stall moving with the dragon.
“… … You talk well while acting as a meat shield.”
Even a few dragons can stop them.
Even a dragon that has regained 100% of its power is just a lizard in front of the world.
As long as dragons are born with a weakness for ‘swords’, they pose no threat to Sein.
“The word ‘meat shield’ is misleading. A meat shield literally means a shield used as a discard. Words that are acceptable only when my body is cut by you. But your sword couldn’t even brush my skin.”
Bale Stoll laughed.
“Where is the meat shield?”
“… … .”
That’s right.
Bale Stoll was unscathed.
It’s hard to see it as a meat shield.
“This is just a strategic choice. I don’t know why you’re belittling me.”
Bale just made the best choice.
Bale Stoll has no qualms about putting this operation into action.
“No, I didn’t mean to belittle you. Is it the cry of a loser?”
Recklessly pouring out abusive language at the other person in a situation where there is no answer.
Has it become a state of actual desperation?
“Why no answer? Saint Binoche. You are my main enemy.”
Veil raised his right hand and stroked the face of the dragon sitting on the right.
“hmm. I have nothing more to say. Then there is nothing you can do.”
At that moment, the dragon’s mouth widened.
Mana that is concentrated in the mouth.
It went into preparation to shoot the breath.
“I have no choice but to stop talking and start using force.”
A breath that was ready in an instant.
The red breath emitted from the dragon’s mouth flew over Sokcho and toward Seoul.
“Now, this time we will aim for the heart of this country. How are you going to stop it?”
Sein bit his lip.
Normally, that kind of breath.
You can stop it any number of times.
Things are a little different now.
‘It’s checkmate. We currently have no means to prevent that attack.’
‘… … Black Mage King. I should have told you to be quiet.’
Blocking that breath itself isn’t a problem.
The problem is the bale stall.
The problem is that he gets in between.
‘If the veil stall gets in the way like before, your life is in danger.’
‘… … He said it was noisy.’
If the veil stall gets in the way, Sein’s mind sword is neutralized as it is.
then that’s it.
It will take a direct hit from the dragon’s breath and will be destroyed along with Seoul.
‘Give up. Nom had already collected data on the mind sword against the breath on two occasions. The next blow will be 100% incapacitated.’
After seeing the previous two inspections, Bale Stoll must have accumulated his own data.
It is certain that he will intervene at a moment when this side cannot respond, and interfere with this side’s attack.
‘The moment Shin Ha-yul didn’t arrive on time, our defeat was decided.’
As long as Shin Ha-yul is late, it is as if everything is over.
There is nothing more this side can do.
‘I’ll say it again. Saint Binoche. Give up. What we have to choose now is to give up Seoul and Korea and run away.’
The only option left now is to run away.
‘If you die here now, that means the end of everything. Now I have to live, even if it means abandoning everything and running away.’
Abandon everything else, survive alone, prepare for the future.
It is the only means left for now.
‘… … How many times do you make me say it?’
Sein Binoche frowned.
‘noisy. I would have said that.’
The dark mage king’s nagging rings in my ears. It roars loudly with a very unpleasant sound.
‘The guy who’s just worth my life. Don’t talk about a cause.’
The nagging of sophistry, which is dotted with lies and deceit, is just disgusting.
‘You just have to watch.’
‘Sain Binoche. Think normally. now… … .’
Sein closed his ears.
No, my ears are closed.
‘There is nothing I can’t cut because I want to cut. That means… … .’
Concentration soars to the limit.
All concentration was focused on the sword and breath.
‘I’m not sure. I’ve never done it. However.’
Sein Binoche’s sword moved slowly.
‘If it were me, I could do it.’
A sword that can be swung without leaving any trajectory, befitting its name.
A special trajectory that could only be seen in the world of the mind flew in to sever the breath.
“It’s funny.”
At that moment, the bale stall started moving.
Using the data accumulated through the previous battle and the data of the mind sword corresponding to the breath accumulated through this battle, 100% insight into the trajectory of the mind sword.
He moved his body along the way.
Bale Stoll smiled coldly.
It was a sarcastic laugh at Sae-in, who did not dare to run away and made the stupid choice to fight back.
‘Recognition gets stuck, nothing has changed since then or now.’
Recalling the mistakes of Ray Bell Bytenor in the past, he gazed intently at the approaching Shim Gum.
‘It’s over.’
Soon, that sword will stop.
And with that, everything ends.
Dragon Breath will burn Sain Binoche and Seoul intact.
Bale was so sure.
However.
“My sword never stops.”
Then, something unexpected happened.
“Because I made up my mind to do so.”
The sword, which should have stopped, continued to move without stopping.
In this state, the sword will slash through Veil’s body.
Bale’s eyes narrowed.
Seeing the sword with no sign of stopping, he was taken aback.
‘no way. Was everything by design?’
Maybe Sein Binoche wasn’t under the ban.
There was no prohibition from the beginning, maybe it was a free body.
‘Pretending to be caught on a taboo to draw out my carelessness… … .’
no. no.
It can’t be.
In the first place, the difference between Sein Binoche and his current strength is as great as the sky and the earth.
There is no reason to pretend to be under the ban.
Didn’t he even confirm the presence of black magic in the first place?
Sein Binoche is clearly in a state of restraint.
‘But why… … .’
A sword that approaches quickly.
There was no time to think.
The black veil in my heart cut through the veil faster than I thought.
Shim-geom, who had passed through the veil, cut the breath that was positioned behind the veil.
Kiyiyiying-!
Mind Sword slashed the breath in two halves, and the mana that made up the breath poured out to heaven and earth.
The concentrated mana flew in all directions, and a resonant sound rang out.
“… … .”
Between the deafening resonances.
Sein laughed sarcasticly.
The bale stall is sharp. He glared at Sein with his expression.
“Did you only cut the breath without cutting me?”
I thought it was cut, but it wasn’t.
Bale Stoll’s body is intact.
Sein’s sword penetrated Veil’s body, but no wounds were left on Veil’s body.
That’s what I mean.
“… … Right. If you don’t want to cut your sword, maybe it won’t.”
Sein Binoche’s mind sword allows him to choose the target he wants to slash.
It was like this.
“What are you so surprised about?”
After Sein re-leaded the sword, he smiled leisurely.
“The sword of the heart. Thought is a sword that becomes power soon. Whether to cut or not to cut is my heart.”
Of course, the only thing that is relaxed is the facial expression.
I am quite surprised.
‘You’re taking a risky gamble. If it failed, that was it.’
The Dark Mage King said as if he was dumbfounded.
‘I thought it would. There is nothing impossible in what I want to do with the sword.’
Sein Binoche’s sword was still evolving in real time.
