Second Continental War (3)

Kurreung.

The darkness shook.

When Edwin Hector's mind fell into the abyss, in reality, he was lying on the floor, fainted, surrounded by darkness.

The master of the heavens looked at him with love.

People exalted their relationship by saying that the best wizard on the continent had finally found a disciple, but the truth was different.

"You don't know. How much did I get burned while looking at you all this time."

Shefir.

And the magic tower in the sky.

The wizards who followed Alexander knew that they could not overcome the walls of the High Circle in the usual way.

The human body has limitations.

In the first place, magic is not a power allowed by humans, so in order to cross that boundary, an opportunity to transcend the limits of birth was necessary.

like that.

It started eating other people's magic.

The energy of innate (先天) amplified the circle's power, and every time it devoured a new talent, a desire to eat more of it arose.

They couldn't develop into arrogant guys.

One day, when he reached the level of the 7th circle and had a period of stagnation, he met a fateful being.

It was Edwin Hector.

It was a brilliant talent.

Just looking at it gave me a thrill, and I couldn't properly practice magic due to environmental problems, but Edwin Hector was obviously gifted with tremendous talent.

From then on, I had a craving for him.

Convinced that Edwin Hector was the talent to lead him into the world of the 8th circle, the master of the heavens, without thinking impatiently, slowly dazzled his heart.

It just didn't make sense to eat it.

In order to maximize the effect, it was necessary to directly teach his talents to ripen a little.

That was the truth.

So, how long have you had children?

Edwin Hector had already met the conditions to be eaten, but because of Hector's social position as a prince, he had no choice but to keep an eye on it.

If Roman Dmitry hadn't invaded the Valhalla Empire.

As per Alexander's orders, the lord of the sky must have hidden his existence for the next few years.

But not now.

The time has come.

It was not the perfect timing that Alexander had envisioned, but the order to subdue the Salamander Continent was given a little earlier.

If Edwin Hector hadn't come to ask for help. The Master of Heaven would have visited him first.

Seeing the mana of darkness swaying and absorbing the energy of the natural world, the expression on the face of the celestial mage who looked at it right in front of him gradually turned into madness.

"More, more, more !"

kid got on

My saliva turned.

I had to be as perfect as I had waited for a long time, so I waited and waited for the natural energy to come out completely.

That was then.

Whoops, whoops.

Curl rumble.

Mana fluctuated.

Something was strange.

Originally, it should have calmed down as the aura of the innate was eroded, but it fluctuated more than the first and seemed to resist the magic of darkness.

The more it happened, the more excited he was.

Because it means such a great talent, he waited for Edwin Hector to be encroached in front of him.

That moment.

flash.

Edwin Hector, who was lying down, opened his eyes.

Then.

"Come with me."

q

He grabbed the nape of the heavenly horseman's neck and threw himself into the magic of darkness.

* * *

Demon's invincibility.

The effect was manifested.

Shortly after regaining his sanity, Edwin Hector recalled the teachings of Roman Dmitry.

"General mental domination is released as soon as one finds reason. But dark magic is different. The force that penetrates the mind to the end will continue to cause rifts in the mind, and the moment it yields, it will completely take over the mind. The solution to get out of that yoke is simple. Blocking the source of darkness by attracting the host. Since you will be eaten, you must eat your opponent first."

remembered the teaching.

Edwin Hector escaped the bondage of darkness for a while, and dragged the Celestial Magic Tower into the same space as himself.

gurgling gurgling.

fell into darkness

Since he was mentally connected to Edwin Hector, the magic of the 7th circle could not shake the hand that gripped the nape of the neck.

The backlash was huge.

The magic tower master of the sky, who was sucked into the dark space, showed a sign of anger and aroused magical power.

[dare!]

I opened my eyes.

He was planning to completely swallow Edwin Hector, but if he resisted this much, it was a different story.

[Someone like you is trying to harm me. I tried to end it by absorbing magical power, thinking about the past, but I will not show mercy to you from now on. will devour all of you. And I will make your soulless corpse a slave, and I will destroy Hector because of you.]

succumbed to evil

Magic power surged like a tidal wave.

In the space of the spirit, the lord of the heavens tried to bring down Edwin Hector.

Quang!

Quiet rumble.

There was a huge shock.

He succeeded in bringing the host into the same space as himself, but Edwin Hector was helpless by the opponent's attack.

He is a magician of the 7th circle.

It was impossible to win the battle of spirits with him, and as the energy of the innate was absorbed, I felt my mind clouded.

reversed

Consciousness faded.

As he was sucked into the darkness, Edwin Hector clenched his teeth.

"The temporal standards in the space of the mind are not absolute. Unless you are mentally broken. You can defeat your opponent in the same way as your opponent."

Roman Dmitry's words.

believed

Common sense is that it is normal to not be able to defeat the magician of the 7th circle, but Edwin Hector did not give up until the end.

created magic. Against the forces that were trying to destroy the mind. A violent clash ensued.

It seemed that his mind would completely blow away, but he raised the circle's power to the limit by fighting against the opponent's power.

Then.

sudden.

Curl rumble.

Just like the Magic Tower in the Sky, it began to drain the opponent's mana.

this situation.

As the Master of the Heavens, he had no choice but to be embarrassed.

It's not enough just to drag himself into the dark space, but on the contrary, he's absorbing magic power.

exceeded the limit.

Anger rose to the top of his head.

Edwin Hector's soul was created with the intention of annihilating him, and if this happens, even if he absorbs the energy of nature, the effect will not be great.

But letting go of anger came first.

He couldn't just ignore the act of being taught by himself, conversely, overriding himself.

By the way.

' What is this?'

It was strange.

little by little, little by little.

his power was swept away.

I couldn't understand it intuitively.

The dark magic was given directly by Alexander, and it is not the kind of power that would be subdued by humans.

If so, how would you explain this situation?

wrote evil.

He struggled by raising his power, but at some point, his magic began to erode.

phantom.

A person who rewritten the history of Jungwon Moorim beyond the history of magic.

The existence that explored the human brain to the limit was evaluated as the best of Moorim in the martial arts of the psyche.

Even Baek Joong-hyuk recognized his realm.

The reason why the martial arts of illusions were expressed for purposes related to the spirit, such as subjugating the spirit of Shefir, was because there was no more martial arts.

blast furnace.

The effect was dramatic.

It was not enough to resist the force that tried to subdue the mind, but rather began to absorb the magical power of darkness.

It was absurd.

The lord of the heavens was astonished.

Cracks formed in his face, and he shouted in a groan.

[Edwin! stop! Take away that dangerous power right now!]

It was certain.

If you do this, you will be defeated.

It was unknown what method Edwin Hector used, but his power overwhelms his mind.

[I was wrong. Blinded by greed for a moment, I made the great mistake of trying to harm my dear disciple. Let's think about the relationship we've had so far and stop here. If you give me one chance, I will give my all for the kingdom of Hector. Valhalla Empire, Kronos Empire. I will do everything in my power to help you so that the evil horde cannot overthrow Hector.]

It was a desperate voice.

He prayed and prayed, but Edwin Hector was already in a state of trance.

No voice was heard.

He forgot his own existence.

In the magic that exploded like a flow, the magic from Edwin Hector swept away the magic of darkness.

[Oh, no!]

The scream of a terminal horse.

The magic exploded.

The existence of the heavenly mage's master faded, and the dark space disappeared as it was.

Quang!

Quarreung, quare rumble.

* * *

outside the office.

Butler, who followed him as an escort, felt strangely in a situation where there was no news after a long time.

'Why are you so quiet?'

visit of the tower.

It didn't happen once or twice.

It would be understandable if she used silence magic to keep it secret, but in the meantime, while waiting outside, the conversation inside was faintly audible.

That is to say. Unlike before, measures were taken to prevent the sound from leaking out, but that fact caused some sort of ominous feeling.

escort knight.

It is an entity that blocks variables.

It may be a little worrying, but I couldn't just keep worrying like this.

"I'll have to check inside for a moment."

"I'm sorry, but that seems difficult. The Lord Matthew commanded not to let anyone in."

"Just check ."

"Impossible."

Celestial Wizard.

The being who was guarding the office smiled brightly and said he would refuse.

Butler took a step back.

no.

Pretending to back away, he suddenly ran towards the door.

'There's something strange about it. Even to the extent of being disciplined for this, I will have to check the inside.'

Curly rumble.

Magical explosion!

Without time for the bewildered wizard to respond, Butler smashed the door as it was.

bang!

Kwajik.

smashed

Beyond the shattering door, Butler witnessed an unexpected sight.

Prince!

eyes widened

In the space where the Heavenly Horseman was nowhere to be found, Edwin Hector was unconscious and convulsing.

* * *

The lord of the sky.

Verde hastily stepped forward.

"Damn it. Maybe it failed to absorb."

Just now.

I got a call from Suha.

Reports that Butler attacked the wizards, and the whereabouts of the master mage are unknown.

My heart sank.

Verde knew the secret of the sky.

That is why I was able to rise to the position of butler, and I thought that the time had finally come when I heard that Edwin Hector had visited.

The lord of the heavens waited only for today.

After absorbing Edwin Hector, he said that he would immediately begin training to form the eighth circle, so he was preparing for him.

Possibility of failure?

I didn't even think about it.

Because he had put a lot of effort into it, Edwin Hector's power could never escape his mind control.

annoyed

sure thing is.

Things went wrong.

Butler attacked the wizards in the sky, and Edwin Hector lost his mind, but his life was unharmed. Verde headed to the office with the wizards.

What if the worst had happened?

The first priority was to subdue Butler and Edwin Hector and prevent the secret from leaking out.

By the way.

When he arrived at the office, he witnessed an unbelievable sight.

" Uh, how?!"

in the office.

It was a mess.

All the wizards guarding the place became corpses and were scattered on the floor, and a being was sitting on the desk in the office and looking at Verde.

In an instant, goosebumps erupted.

In a situation where it was unbelievable that the existence in front of him was still alive, the eyes that seemed to be entangled in him aroused an ominous imagination.

he's right

It was Edwin Hector.

He, who should have died, said with a cold gaze.

"Verde. Now explain what happened here. If you don't understand me, you will die.
