＃Episode 1041
Magic is a very variable and powerful force.
It can make allies stronger, enemies weaker, and create numerous types of variables, including wide-range attacks and the formation of shields.
This is also the reason why wizards are especially favored even in modern times where the crazy profession called Hunter has completely taken root.
However, if someone asks me whether a wizard is the most powerful among hunters of their level, I will answer without hesitation.
No.
At times, he can be more powerful than anyone else on the battlefield, but in order to do so, certain prerequisites are necessary.
And the first condition is the presence of an ally who can protect the wizard and at the same time keep the approaching enemy in check.
Suddenly!
I cut it.
There was no feeling of splitting flesh and bones or hot blood gushing out like a fountain, but I felt it clearly.
I instantly cut into that intangible, odorless thing that people call energy, and the system knew this.
Tiring.
– [Gravity Magic] was successfully destroyed!
– The level of [Gi-gam] slightly increases!
– You will be able to handle your energy a little more freely!
A translucent holographic window suddenly appeared in the air with a system notification ringing in my ears.
But I didn’t care.
All I could do was pull up all the energy that was sleeping deep inside my body and keep going.
Squirt!
Dozens of streets are quickly narrowing. In keeping with that terrifying speed, the huge energy that covered the hill also swung steeply.
“Fire, fire ghost, answer the call!”
“A strange rock and a strange stone will block the master’s enemies!”
A spell chanting in a hurry.
At the same time, dozens of large fireballs filled the air, the ground in front flipped over, and a wall of rocks rose high.
Hwareuk, bangdeuk!
If someone who didn’t know him had seen it, even Noh Kang-ho, who had accumulated a lot of experience, would have been entranced by the power of a god with incredible strength.
But in this vast world, I was the only exception.
‘Fire Ball. Plus the Stone Wall?’
The moment I realized the identity of the newly revealed magic, my face stiffened involuntarily.
Because it’s a magic that even I can’t easily destroy this time?
Wrong.
Considering the size, scope, and power of the magic, it is at a level that even B- or C-level wizards can use.
However, if there is one problem, it is because I realized that the hypothesis I came up with just a moment ago was wrong.
‘It’s not that there was a limit to the type of magic that could be used, it was that it wasn’t used.’
The reason magic is highly regarded is not only its power, but also its variety and creation of variables.
However, even though they had the ability and conditions to do so, the only magic they had shown so far was body strengthening magic and gravity magic.
‘Why on earth?’
A question filled my mind.
However, the magic reached me much faster than finding the answer to the question.
Quaaaaa!
When it was first shot from a distance, it was a small ball, but now dozens of fireballs, as large as the Cheongeun Megalith, crossed the wall of rock and fell towards me.
If it were anyone other than me, the heat was so intense that it would have taken my breath away for a moment.
However, the heat contained in the blade of the white flame spear aimed at the fireballs was so deep and fierce that it could not be compared.
Cracking, wow!
Half of them were dodged and half of them were slashed.
And at the moment when the ball of fire exploded in the air and splendidly decorated all directions, I had already jumped out through the acrid smoke and was firing a punch at the huge stone wall blocking my path.
Whoa!
A fist that cuts through the wind, or rather, moves forward while burning.
It doesn’t have the ever-changing herbivory or deep tricks like the Shingongjeolhak boasted by other prestigious sects, but its explosive power and destructive power are world-class.
Therefore, in the distant past, unlike his teacher who loved the spear, the third master of Yeolhwamun, who was crazy about the art of boxing, called the martial arts he created this way.
‘The divine power of annihilation.’
Woojik, quad deuk!
True to the power implied by its name, the wall of strangely shaped rocks scattered into hundreds or thousands of pieces collapsed helplessly.
No, it melted and exploded at the same time.
Crash!
The ground shakes as if there was an earthquake.
After passing the numerous rocks falling overhead, I fired the new model toward the hill again.
Tiring. Tiring. Tiring.
– [Fire Ball] was successfully destroyed!
– [Stone Wall] was successfully destroyed!
– The level of [Gi-gam] slightly increases!
– You will be able to handle your energy a little more freely!
“He, he’s coming!”
“Arrow of brilliance, answer the call!”
Hearing the cries that were now more like screams, I stared straight at the top of the hill.
Twenty white people.
Among them, some were vomiting blood due to the aftereffects of having their magic destroyed, some were manifesting other magic, and some were shaking with faces as white as the clothes they were wearing.
And, there was one person who stood out even more because he was an exception to all of them.
‘Yes, it’s you.’
Grand mage.
The great wizard who had reached the end of truth, and the enemy who must be defeated, was a woman.
A slender figure that cannot be completely hidden by the rich hem of the clothes, and red lips exposed under the silver-white cotton thread.
She was another powerful enemy who was hidden by the presence of the Blood Sword Demon Army.
In addition to that fact, he might be the only person who could give me a proper answer to my questions.
Shhh shhh!
Magic Arrow.
I raised my spear blade towards the countless flashes of dazzling light.
Whoa!
A dark blue river rises like wildfire and swallows up the light.
No, the moment you feel that way, new magic comes to the place where everything was reduced to ashes and burned.
Puff poop! Squirt!
The air and the ground below were covered with light of various colors.
A spear made of ice. Rain of flames, blades of lightning and wind.
It all poured down on just one person, towards me.
The power of each and every one of those countless flashes of light coming together was like the sword energy of a peak expert.
But since it was only to that extent, it could never hurt me.
Suddenly.
I cut down a spear with a spear, a spear made of ice.
Shhh! Kwaaaaang!
Evade the rain of flames that covers all directions with rapid movements like moving around.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The blades of lightning and wind that were waiting for me were swallowed up by the heat of the flame kidney.
Tiring. Tiring. Tiring.
The clear sound of a bell ringing in my ears one after another, signaling the end of magic.
Dengbongjogeuk (登峰造極).
They can’t threaten the tall and lush peak that I have built by crossing the firing line countless times.
From this hill overlooking the blood-covered battlefield, there was nothing that could stop me now.
People and magic.
“The plants and trees that sleep in this land, rise up resolutely and restrain your master’s enemies!”
Sigh!
I felt it even before I finished chanting the spell. I knew it at the same time.
The waves of energy felt beneath my feet. What is this magic?
However, there was no reason to avoid it and there was no need to cut it down.
Thick roots sprouting from deep in the ground tightened and bound my whole body, but I just kept walking in silence and that was enough.
Clum, clum.
The stem, made as hard as steel by the power of magic, trembled.
Feeling the pressure coming from it wrapping around not only my limbs but also my entire waist and neck, I reached out and grabbed it.
Quad deuk!
If it were normal, you wouldn’t have been able to even reach out. It’s natural that you can’t walk.
however… … .
‘That’s what you think.’
Those are just the thoughts of those people who are widening their eyes in disbelief at this moment.
To me this was natural.
A reward obtained after repeated life-threatening adventures.
A pure physical ability that cannot be blocked by simple binding magic.
The power that far surpassed human limitations, and the power of Su Gapja, which is still constantly rising from the lower level, made it possible.
Thump, pound, pound!
In an instant, the stem that had been constricting my entire body exploded like an explosion.
Nevertheless, it persistently approached me like a living creature, so I trampled on it and uprooted it.
So that it can never happen again. And for the person who used this magic to vomit blood and collapse.
Tiring.
The moment when another bell sounded, signaling that the binding spell had been broken.
“Uuup, kueeeeek!”
Another white-robed person knelt down with dark red blood pouring out.
In addition, he was the oldest-looking among the twenty wizards and the nineteenth wizard to fall.
And what that meant was clear.
Just one person.
Even as the wizards under his command fell one after another due to the backflow of energy, only the Archmage, who did not show the slightest sign of agitation, stood alone on this hill.
No, to be exact, it was just me and the two of us who had already arrived right in front of us.
“I’ve only heard words so far… … happy. “Seeing it in person like this.”
Red lips fluttering beneath the tightly woven silver-white cotton thread.
The voice that came out between them was calm, and even contained a hint of excitement.
“Crazy bitch.”
When I spoke those words with sincerity, the wind that flowed along with a low laugh shook the cotton yarn.
“What a rude man. “You can’t help but curse at a woman whose face and name you don’t even know.”
right.
I don’t know this woman’s name or face.
I already know that even with the extra powers of the system given to me, I cannot find out information about her.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have dared to open your mouth like you did now, even if you were facing me at a distance of less than a day’s distance.
Wooooow.
You can’t see it, but you can feel it.
A huge and deep energy stood between her and me.
Although they were in one space, it was an extremely strong protective barrier that separated them as if they existed in different worlds.
“I wondered if he was plotting something while sitting on the hill, but it was only like this?”
“Ah, as expected. “I thought you could feel it.”
The Grand Mage nodded happily and added.
“Of course, you wouldn’t be able to easily try something in a situation like this.”
“… … !”
“Oh, did I hit the nail on the head?”
I gritted my teeth quietly.
Because what she said was definitely true.
Just one try.
If that blow doesn’t break the shield and take his life, the archmage will escape this barely narrow distance again.
Because that part was making it impossible for me to do anything hastily, even in situations where every second was urgent.
But the next moment, the low voice that penetrated my ear was enough to shake me, incomparable to anything I heard before.
“Still, I feel a little sad. “I didn’t prepare this much.”
“… … what?”
“Shall I show you? Even otherwise, it was a bit boring.”
Right at that moment.
Goooooong.
Contrary to the clear, laughing voice, a terrifyingly gigantic energy rose around the slender body.
