If he had that kind of skill, there would have been quite a fuss on the rooftop side as well.
Why wasn't that news told to them?
The two did not know that Matap had not revealed the information in order to keep the Association in check.
Whatever it was, if that boy named Leon really was capable of controlling this huge disaster.
The value of the existence of Leon Cascadia is bound to be greater than what the two people had imagined.
However, if you think about it logically, it was impossible.
How many wizards have been trying to overcome this mana disaster over the years?
Knowing the principle and being able to control it are two completely different things.
In fact, the flow of mana within this tunnel is now becoming eerily strong.
It's like touching a bomb that will explode if you cut the wire wrong.
At that moment, my younger brother, who had a keen sense, felt something and shuddered.
“Oh…… Oppa, something is strange……”
“Two people.”
At that moment, Leon's voice, who was sitting quietly creating a magic circle, reached the two people's ears.
“You’re good at blocking magic, aren’t you? It looks like you both have your own specialty.”
Leon continued speaking without even turning his head.
“Mana Barrier, can you use it?”
“I can… I can write, but….”
“I’ll give you a chance. The two of you try to hold out for a while. The collapse is accelerating because of what you two did, so you have to do that much.”
At the same time, Rider, who was on the older brother's side, opened his eyes wide and hurriedly raised his mana.
“Oh, brother?! What if I use magic here?!”
“Speak loudly and quickly to the assistant!”
At his shout, his younger sister Ravenna reflexively assisted his magic and visualized it.
And then a force field was created surrounding the two people, and within seconds, a thick fog-like substance slowly began to build up all around, and an enormous density of mana could be felt.
Something is wrong!
Isn't this what happens right before an unstable blood clot bursts?
In a situation like this, even something as simple as a Mana blocking field won't be enough to hold out.
Just like wearing a fire suit won't stop a huge explosion.
“Hey! Can’t you see what’s happening?! This isn’t the situation. We need to get out of here first!”
Rider shouted at Leon in a panic, forgetting even his honorifics.
As expected, it is impossible to control mana disaster.
But Leon didn't answer.
Finally, I tried to drag him out by force.
To begin with, the two of them are somehow enduring this torrent of mana with the help of a blocking force field, but Leon doesn't even do that defense and just takes it with his bare body, remaining silent.
If a normal person were to be swept up in a mana torrent with that level of density, they would bleed to death in an instant.
“Damn it! Ravenna! Come at me! Let’s get out of here first! Then evacuate everyone in this area… Ugh?!”
The density of mana became so thick that the siblings could not move and had to focus only on maintaining their magic.
Under the terrible pressure that was far beyond their expectations, the two could do nothing but desperately hold on, sweating profusely.
There are clear limitations to just 5 circles.
Even if you overcome the wall once and become more familiar with the realm of the 5th circle, will that be a fundamental solution?
The situation, which was barely manageable, began to get worse as time went on.
“Ugh…….”
When his younger sister, Lavena, who was assisting with magic, started to stagger, complaining of extreme anxiety, Laida hurriedly held her in her arms and supported her.
“Wake up! If you lose consciousness here, it’s over!”
“Ugh…… I feel…… I feel so sick…… Ugh…….”
Even though I'm trying to press on, the fact is that Lidar is also in the same situation.
The younger sister, who had a sensitive sense, reacted first. However, Ravenna, as if her hearing had been paralyzed, continued to scream in pain, unable to respond to Raida's words.
Mana Disaster twists things more than you might think.
At first, I lost my hearing.
In fact, even Lidar has reached a point where he can no longer hear anything other than his own voice.
After hearing, there is smell, and then sight.
A human being whose five senses begin to shut off cannot help but fall into extreme panic.
They were geniuses and experienced wizards, but in reality, even they only knew about this situation in theory and it was completely unfamiliar.
The flow of magic began to lose its balance in a short time, as Ravenna was already on the verge of fainting.
By that time, Rider had become instinctively focused on protecting her twin brother.
It's desperate.
In this extreme situation, all he could do as a 5th circle was to protect his younger brother, even at the cost of sacrificing his own body.
He shouted desperately, even though he was barely able to hear.
He was usually an unlovable younger sibling, and he often got angry because he couldn't speak properly.
But in moments of danger, only his brother's safety filled his mind.
This won't do. We need a different number.
He worked his brain to the limit and squeezed out the recipe.
Even in situations where it was difficult to maintain sanity, he was desperate.
Even though his organs began to malfunction and his muscles began to lose strength, he hugged his brother as if it were a conditioned reflex and unleashed his magic.
Was it because of such desperate efforts? Or was it because of the superhuman strength of a human being in an extreme situation?
A slight change began to occur in his magical techniques.
A wall that has been stagnant for years is about to open in an instant.
But something was missing.
If things continue like this… … .
“Don’t you know how to control the speed of the mana cycle?”
Why is it? It's clear that I'm deaf, but I can still hear someone's voice.
The tone of voice was a bit patronizing.
“I’m too scared to do anything. Oh, by any chance, is there no middle ground when it comes to mana speed control? It’s either fast or slow, and there are only two options.”
When I reflexively and naturally released the mana circulation and gradually adjusted the speed, the result was completely different from before.
This effect was achieved not simply by controlling the speed, but by controlling the speed while maintaining certain conditions.
Raider desperately tried to hold on to consciousness and focus.
“Huh, you don’t know how to handle mana. Have you ever learned about something called mana density?”
The laughter and mockery continued. But the more it happened, the more sophisticated Lidar's magic became.
Although the tone of voice seemed to scratch at people's insides, it accurately pointed out his current problem.
In fact, every time I fix it, the magic stability goes up ridiculously.
ah.
Only then did Rider realize who the owner of the voice was.
Unlike the two desperate people, Leon's back was seen sitting very calmly and managing his mana.
Did your vision come back? No, why is it so much easier to hold on than before?
It's not because my magical skills have improved. It's because something has begun to envelop this area.
Mana control mixed with extreme finesse rather than complex magic.
With just that, the safety of the two people began to be gradually secured.
How can one do such elaborate and massive work and yet remain calm in this extremely dense torrent of mana through mana control?
Ah, is it because he is a high-level wizard who would not lose his composure in a situation like this?
How ridiculous he and his brother must have looked from his perspective.
Woohoo… … .
Soon, the magic circles surrounding him began to contract simultaneously and gather in one place.
It began to contract at an incredible rate, as if it were a star about to explode, and Radar stared straight ahead with his eyes that had regained their sight, at a sight he might never see again.
I was horrified by the sight of a giant magic circle that filled all four sides, up, down, and beyond the plane.
The ultimate form of a giant magic circle that is completed in every way.
For the twins who had been studying magic circles, it was something that had tremendous merit just by looking at it.
Wasn't it already a huge accomplishment just to give him advice in the midst of the density of the huge mana torrent?
It can't be a dream.
Raider gathered mana into his palm, formed it into a sphere, and then let out a sigh.
What he had previously been unable to master no matter how much he practiced was now so easily within his grasp.
Rider asked, hugging her younger brother as if possessed.
“What…… happened?”
“It’s stabilized. If you attach it as soon as the magic stone is installed, the magic circle will remain semi-permanent even if I’m not there.”
Leon pointed to the magic circle that was beginning to permeate this area.
Can you reverse engineer that and break it?
To be honest, I wasn't confident.
Even if you interpret its contents, it's probably impossible to decipher it.
Considering the existence of the Magic Stone, this means that the magic circle does not end here.
I didn't say I don't believe it now.
Because the mana that was felt throughout the mine, vibrating in all directions as if it would explode at any moment, was moving in one direction.
It takes a lot of energy to stabilize a mana torrent.
However, that energy is turned into the energy of the mana torrent, which is the cause of the disaster.
It's as if we've created a giant self-powered device.
Control the massive torrents flowing in from outside, and use the energy generated there to maintain the magic circle… … .
The theory that anyone can think of something, but actually putting it into practice is known to be in the realm of the impossible, is unfolding before our eyes.
I just stare blankly at the beautiful sight of the magic circle.
'Who was the frog in the well… … .'
At first, I thought he was just a foolish young nobleman blinded by profit.
Rather, wasn't it Rider who was that kind of being, not him?
How ridiculous it must have been from his perspective.
But that was why I had to ask him even more.
“Prince Leon Cascadia.”
Leon's sky-blue eyes turned to Raida's call.
“This world is full of mana disasters of this type.”
“…….”
There was no answer, but Raider continued talking.
“Would you please join us? With your skills, we can prevent the need to evacuate people, and prevent the damage to countless supplies. If you want compensation, we can give you everything: wealth, fame, and special privileges…….”
