Episode 834 World Conference: Friction (2)
“Cough, cough…….”
With his eyes glazed over, the Mountain King managed to push only his upper body out of the hill. He had briefly lost consciousness due to an impact force exceeding his physical resistance, only to recover it.As expected of a powerful beastkin, his regenerative abilities were on a completely different level compared to humans of his caliber.
I took a step.
It is a well-known fact that Verden waged a war of usurpation over the Darkmoon and Black Hour, but the truth that the Darkmoon’s magic,
A single mage can only master one magic path; this is one of the absolute tenets of the magical world that applies to all mages.In this sense, Verden’s magic,
If the true nature of the Infinite Magic were to be discovered by the outside world, the repercussions would objectively be on par with a runaway power source incident or the Dark Moon Dream.
Besides, the interest in me will become incomparably higher than before.
Those gazes will likely become tainted by negative emotions such as jealousy and suspicion. Various conspiracy theories will also spread, which hostile forces will likely exploit.In the short term, regardless of whether Verden’s dominance strengthens or weakens, there is a high probability that this will have a significant impact.
Verden is confident he can suppress even that, but that is a long-term story.
The key is the present, not the future.
At the very least, Verden had no intention of fully revealing the First Magic Path here. This is not a battlefield, but a world conference hall.
Verden stopped.
Verden, having broken the seal of the raging fire, activated the magic circuits throughout his entire body. Waves of magic spread out across the entire illusory meadow from his center.
“Both of you, just sit back and do nothing. You’re disrupting the meeting.”“Even the chairperson is staying quiet. A mere attendee wouldn’t have the right to stop you.”
The Beast King, gripping the spear shaft tightly and hurling the Saint along with her, lightly tapped the ground with his tail.That alone split an area spanning tens of meters.
“If it really bothers you, go ahead and try making me sit down. This is also a form of entertainment.”
The Beast King pushed off the ground.It was agile.Even with Verden’s dynamic vision, it was difficult to properly grasp the Beast King’s full form. Does this mean it becomes much faster than this when exerting its full power?
Whoosh!
Verden, having performed
The Water King’s grip filled the front.Pressure was felt.At the same time, Verden swung his staff from top to bottom.
The Blazing Flames originated from the idea of burning infinite magical power like firewood to continuously maintain the Dark Moon’s
Originally, it is not merely about burning objects to intensify the flames of destruction, like in *Total Eclipse*.The combustion reaction of annihilation that repeats itself within the body generates power, affecting not only the magical but also the physical.
Like filling an empty container with water.
Verden’s body, too, was filled with so much power that it felt stifling if he remained still. It was as if his pure physical abilities had been enhanced by enchantment magic.
Bang───!
A dull metallic sound echoed.
Suwang let out a small gasp of admiration at the heavy impact he felt in his palm. No matter how he looked at it, it was not the kind of strength one would expect from a wizard.
“And you call yourself a wizard?”“As you can see.”
Verden immediately extended his left hand. Gravitational waves were emitted in the shape of an inverted cone. Despite the immense physical force, the Beast King was pushed back by only two steps. Thespatial blade activated subsequently failed to cut through his claws and was instead torn apart.
You wouldn’t even be able to leave a scratch with spatial magic of such mediocre density.
Verden concentrated gravity on [Interis]’s head, which he held with both hands.The muscles were pulled taut.
At that moment, the entire field of vision was covered in a dazzling light.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
Divine power exploded from the Holy Spear that had fallen between Verden and the Water King. The two people, who had stepped back with their eyes half-covered, looked to the side.
The saint said.
“King Su, I am making Antiath realize his sins. Outsider, please wait. Otherwise, I will judge you as a blasphemer.”“…….”
Verden closed his mouth while choosing the right words to persuade her. When he looked again, he realized the Saint’s eyes had already spun around several times.
It is not a stage where we can communicate.Then what can be done?
We have no choice but to use shock therapy.
To be honest, Verden was curious about the level of the Saint and the Beast King. After all, they must officially be among the top five strongest in the world.
The Saintess moved with a flash of light.Verden
Clang──! Crack─! Kagagagagang───Kaang!
Innate biological weapons, divine armor, and the legendary dwarf’s greatest masterpieces clashed one after another.The sight of them clashing powers as they moved back and forth across the plains moment by moment could not be followed even by the eyes of one who had reached the pinnacle of mastery.
Terrain Manipulation
Verden weakened the ground and teleported into the void. The Beast King’s fist and Holy Spear crossed the spot where he had been.Above the heads of the two, Verden infused his staff with a wave of gravity and hurled it.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!
The ground could not withstand the vertical surge of impact force and collapsed.
The Water King opened his mouth.The Saint prayed.
roar
The Grace of Holy Light
The beast’s roar and the saint’s light pushed everything away regardless of direction. Debris vanished without a trace, creating a void in the meadow.Because the two powers failed to interlock and pushed each other away, the repercussions reached a great distance.
The hill within a range of approximately 130 meters had completely transformed into a flat plain. The vegetation had vanished, and three people faced each other on the desolate land.
As if by coincidence, the Saint and the Water King narrowed their eyes with similar meanings.
“You are seasoned even without using magic as your primary weapon.””You have experience facing two or more transcendent beings simultaneously. And in close combat at that.”
What they had in mind was Verden.
A saint chosen by the Four Great Divine Artifacts to transcend divine power and the physical body, and a Beast King specialized in physical abilities from the start. To think that a transcendent being of the magic world could strike a duel with such two beings at close range using weaponry…Even if he hadn’t unleashed his full power, it defied common sense.
In an instant, the Water King kicked from both sides in succession, pushing the Saintess back. Immediately afterward, he wrapped his dragon’s tail around Verden, who had moved behind him, and grabbed him.
Boom!!!
Verden exerted gravity upon himself and thrust his legs into the meadow. Resisting the power of the tail, he pulled the Beast King’s body in reverse with his gravitational pull.Just then, the Saintess also deflected the Beast King’s arm and thrust her holy spear upward from below.
This spirit.
The Beast King laughed heartily, untied his tail, and stepped back before swinging his arm with impenetrable speed. His claws, infused with wildness, felt even more massive.Verden and the Saintess, having returned their staff and holy spear, thrust their weapons forward once again.
──────!
Their blows intertwined. As a resonant sound swept through the air, silence followed. [Interis], the Holy Spear, and the Beast King’s claws trembled slightly as they touched.
The momentum of the Water King is gradually changing into a different kind.
“Innate talent isn’t everything. You have accumulated enough experience to have killed five transcendent beings. The scent of blood lingers even more deeply on the path you have walked.”“Verden.”
As a radiance flashed from the Saint, the Holy Armor, Arminel, was summoned. Equipped with two divine artifacts, the Saint’s level rose even higher.
“Will you also have faith in the light?”
The Water King is seething with fighting spirit in his own way, and the Saintess is becoming increasingly consumed by her faith.
Is this the boundary line?
It has heated up to the limit, so now it is time to pour cold water on it.
Madou
Verden opened his second magic for the first time in an ‘official’ setting. Red magical energy left afterimages along the trajectory of the staff.The moment the Saint and the Beast King opened their eyes wide, an unknown power pierced through their entire bodies.
BANG!
Suwang flew several meters and landed on two legs, bending his fingers. His pupils trembled slightly. It was a pain he had never felt in his life.
The Saintess was also flung away, but returned faster and thrust her arm. Granter and [Interis] remained in contact, unable to separate.
However, even the Saintess herself looked flustered, as if a counterattack had gone out without her realizing it.
“What on earth was that just now…….”
The madness in his voice has significantly subsided.Did he come to his senses after being hit?
but.
“So that is your magic. Alright… I’ll enjoy it a little longer.”
The King of Water now tried to pierce Verden’s back, even harboring murderous intent. It was not hatred or anger, but a simple manifestation of fighting spirit.
Verden said.
“No, this is the end.”“Stop!”
The oath-taker’s stronger incantation temporarily interfered with the movements of the Saint and the Beast King.
Bang!
Adrian struck the Beast King’s claws downward with all his might using his light sword.
Vangelis used
As the Keeper’s magical seal seeped in, the speed of the Water King’s blood flow slowed.
Can can can can can can!
Four spears flew in simultaneously, hindering the movement of the Water King’s joints, such as his knees and shoulders. A strange gravitational force was generated between the spears.
The Master aimed a fierce longsword at the King of Water’s neck.
“You must not go berserk.”“Who do you dare target?”“You crazy bastard. Just like a beast, you have no regard for anything.”“Your actions just now crossed the line.”
Five transcendent beings, excluding the oath-taker, restrained the Water King.
The same was true for the saint.
“Now, please calm down.”“S-take a deep breath, Saint.”
Chains of light generated by the Pope’s miracle seized the Saint’s limbs, and the Saint, gripping the Holy Sword tensely, stood to block the Holy Spear.Tree roots raised by Serendia restrained the Saint’s entire body. Finally, Indren’s sealing magic immobilized the Holy Spear once more.
“You cut it off at the perfect time, Verden.”“How is this called a meeting?”
Four transcendents, including Verden, and the administrator of the World Tree oppressed the Saintess.
I can overlook a bit of emotional friction, but I have no intention of tolerating anything more than that.
Of course, if Verden hadn’t stepped forward first, no one would have been able to easily break the flow, and a significant clash would have eventually ensued.It might have actually made the situation even more serious.
Verden looked at the saint.
“That is a ridiculous provocation. Even so, I understand your rising anger, but let’s stop here for now.”“…….”“Beast King, you stop there too. You don’t have any intention of seeing this through to the end anyway.”“Anyone can see it through if they want.”
Despite the situation, the Water King smiled very leisurely. In contrast, the Saintess closed her eyes for a moment to ponder, then soon nodded.
“Okay. Let’s wrap it up here.”
The saint’s eyes flashed.
“Let’s stop here.”“……!”
Judgment of the Beginning: Condemnation
A beam of light burst forth from the tip of the Holy Spear. And as if he had been waiting for it, the Water King exhaled the breath held deep within his lungs.
Great roar
Since the two had already made up their minds, it could not be stopped beforehand. Light and sound each passed the transcendents and curved toward each other.
“You have absolutely no sense of moderation.”
Grand Duke Rivandale appeared at the midpoint just before the two forces collided. Concentrating his energy in both hands, he swung his arms and spun half a turn.
Season: Wave Wheel
The vortex of waves interfered with the paths of miracle and wildness, altering the flow. The two forces, surging upward rather than forward, traced a spiral without colliding. Sincethe ray and the cannon roar would never touch like parallel lines, their power would soon be exhausted, and they would naturally fade away.
At that moment.
“…….”
The Transcendents sensed a familiar presence and looked up into the void. Sure enough, Ignacia was sitting atop the clouds in the sky. Itwas not just one.Thousands of hers were looking down upon the earth, each wearing a smile.
Verden spoke up.
“Just come down. You’re the one who caused this in the first place.”“Hahaha, I admit I was wrong. Enough to deserve a punch.”
The ‘Ignatians’ gestured with their chins toward the mountain range devastated by the Holy Lance.Their slender index fingers stood still toward the blue sky and circled in the air as if whispering a spell.
“But as you can see, I got hit one more time. So shouldn’t I pay them back? About twice as much?”
Indren let out a sigh.
“You’re just doing it because you think it’ll be fun, so stop making up reasons for no reason.……”“I’m not?”“Then don’t laugh.”“Ahahahahaha.”
The world became blurry and then clear again.The top and bottom were reversed.There was no need to look around. The ground where the transcendents stood turned into the sky, and the sky where Ignatia was turned into the ground.
Everything was turned upside down.
From the miracle of the Saint unleashed by Grand Duke Rivandale to the roar of the Beast King, the two forces swirled together and surged toward the Transcendents.At the same time, a multitude of Ignatians manifested illusory spears shimmering with brilliant purple light.
───!
Thousands of spears rained down in unison. Each one contained magical power capable of inflicting direct damage not only to physical force but even to the mental realm.Above all, the bombardment range of Igsania covered the tables of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The kings of the House of Representatives made a fuss.
“Uh, uhhhh……?!!!”“Hmm.”
The Black Sea protected those who were not transcendent beings with a curtain of the sea. Eres held up his sacred sword and cast a curtain of cold over it.
It was then.
Saaaaa───… … .
Half of the power scattered,and half of the power died.
“stop.”
Finally, Providence intervened.
Not only that, but even Darkwarton, the Tower Master, and Reindel Nexreon.
