Book 14 Chapter 36

42화

“A gat and hanbok, and claiming to be the strongest… Yes, you’re the one who dared to interfere with his will without knowing your place.”

The hostility emanating from the dark wizard, Bremena, erupted into a powerful abyss.

“Oh, what, another dark wizard? I don’t have even 1% expectation for you guys anymore. You’re supposed to have fallen for power, but you’re all so weak.”

In front of that immense abyss, the young wizard, far from being intimidated, even provoked him by waving his hand as if he were bored.

“It’s not surprising that you react that way, having only met minnows at the bottom. But the one before you now is [Seven Souls], directly under the Second Pillar of the Dark Church.”

“Dark wizard characteristic: always claiming they’re different. But they all turn out the same.”

“This is the last time you’ll be able to make such a pathetic provocation!”

As soon as Bremena placed his hand on the grimoire, ‘power’ immediately materialized.

‘This can’t be.’

Riland was flustered.

The process of magic construction, rune enchantment, and mathematical calculation is essential for magic, but computational wizards, called Remedier types, can skip the magic circle and rune creation steps by using a grimoire.

However, mathematical calculations cannot be omitted, and new coordinates must be entered, yet Bremena’s 3-star magic was almost instantaneous. His calculation speed was incredible.

Chaechaechachaechachaechang… Pububuk!

From the darkness, from the shadows, dozens of ice spears surged forward like a storm and rushed towards the young wizard.

But they failed to lacerate the boy’s body. The ground at the boy’s feet twisted and rose, blocking the attack as an earthen wall.

Magic that controls the terrain itself is at least 3-star, and all the boy did for that high-level spell was to clasp his hands together three times.

“Huh, is it really somewhat different?”

Everyone present was astonished.

‘That dark wizard’s casting speed was already unreal, but he even surpassed that?’

Before their astonishment could end, his hands re-interlocked in a different way… and a fireball suddenly appeared, engulfing Bremena.

Rista, who had alone anticipated this outcome, did not miss the momentary opening that thus arose.

He plunged his foot deep into Bilien’s chest, sending him flying far away, and rescued his sibling, who had been receiving death threats in his arms.

“B-Big sis…!”

“Were you scared? It’s okay now.”

As Rista hugged him tight, Gid, who had to act maturely despite not being precocious as the family successor, burst into tears.

“Who is that wizard…?”

Riland, an ally, was no different in his inability to understand the situation.

Riland had met countless battlemages to earn the title of ‘Flicker of the Frontier’.

But never once had he seen or even heard a joke about a wizard who could cast 3-star magic with three hand gestures.

“Oops, my apologies for the late introduction.”

To that question, which was almost a monologue, Rista replied.

“Let me introduce my companion.”

Just like when he was a child, whenever he received praise or an award from someone, he would run to Riland or Sena and hug them to brag about it.

“Lynn, he’s the wizard in my hero party.”
