#50. 8th Circle Wizard Yoo Dam-deok
“It’s finally started! Citizens! Everyone cheers for the eternal prosperity of our Atlaum!!”
“Cheers!!”
Not only the citizens but also the invited guests all laughed and entered the festive mood.
The high priests walked out silently and displayed splendid magic.
Of all the men, he was the youngest-looking man even though he was wearing a robe and a hat.
Grumble!
Red flames also bloomed in Damdeok’s hands.
‘Wow, this is really happening.’
Vermouth’s last request was to participate in the Atlaum festival on behalf of the fainted priests.
‘I didn’t even know it was a festival, so what the hell?’
Although high priests do not do much, Vermouth readily offered his magic talent as well as his magic research talent, saying that magic might be unfamiliar to them.
‘If you know how magic works, it’s easy to learn basic magic.’
Damdeok turned the flame on his palm around.
It was still just a fist-sized flame, but even that was amazing to Damdeok.
A magic that uses divine power to fuse several atmospheric elements and burn them. Although it was quite complicated as it sounds simple, Damdeok succeeded in performing the 1-circle magic ‘Fire’ in 30 minutes.
‘I have no idea what to do next.’
The high priest standing next to him was handling the flames as if he were setting off fireworks.
Next to him, a high priest was making water dolls with waves as if he was playing magic, and another high priest was making the entire square shine like a club with lightning.
Damdeok was the only one fiddling with a small flame.
People were looking at Damdeok curiously, but their eyes were full of anticipation as to what he was going to do.
‘It’s burdensome.’
But don’t worry.
Vermouth was not an irresponsible god who only did favors.
“If you are a high priest, you must know how to use at least 8-circle magic.”
After succeeding in the 1st circle spell and failing in the 2nd circle spell, Vermouth shared some of his power with me.
‘The effect will be short-lived, though.’
There will be plenty of time to show off your magic at this festival.
The flame seemed to stop for a moment in Damdeok’s hand… .
Kwaaaa!!
A pillar of fire rose high into the sky.
“Wow!! kill!!”
“yes! This is it!!”
People were so excited that they popped champagne in the air, screamed, and danced.
In that exciting atmosphere, Damdeok quickly activated his next spell.
The pillar of fire that had erupted from only the right hand also erupted from the left hand.
Huge pillars of fire cross each other in the sky and merge into a large ring surrounding the sky of the square.
Due to Damdeok’s hand gestures, the flames were moving freely, scattering, combining, and repeating.
After a while, the Atlaum flag made of fireworks fluttered majestically in the sky of the square.
It was a performance bigger and more powerful than any other priest’s magic.
“Wow!!”
“Long live Atlaum!!”
People’s excitement was at its peak.
Damdeok continued to demonstrate magic by creating huge pillars of flame and shooting them here and there.
The fire show was going on like crazy, as if it were a huge laser expo.

Damdeok grinned and accelerated his use of magic even more.
In a little while, the power of vermouth will wear off.
It would be better to acquire as many skills as possible before then.
The priests around him began to quietly watch and support Damdeok’s fire show.
Whatever it was, people were so excited about it that they had an obligation to further enhance the atmosphere.
‘He was recommended by Lord Ju… .’
‘That’s truly amazing skill.’
‘… But didn’t you say he was a wanted fugitive?’
‘Shh, that’s top secret. The main officer said he would cover everything and told me to be quiet.’
The priests whispered to each other, but no one heard them.
As excited people sprayed champagne, the flames created by Damdeok only burned more fiercely.
Grumble! Grumble!
Adele Sharon was staring blankly at the man surrounded by people and flames.
‘Yoo Dam-deok… ? How could you… .’
I could tell that I had longed for the path of an archmage more than anyone else.
‘That’s at least the level of the 8th circle… .’
Damdeok’s magic skills were definitely at the level of the 8th circle, a level that only a few of the high priests could reach.
It was a moment when the grandeur, splendor, excitement, and other complex and subtle emotions of the magic that I saw in the square when I was young hit Adele Sharon like a tsunami.
Her eyes were now more shaky than ever.

Damdeok grinned as he looked at the message that appeared before his eyes.
“Okay bingo.”
* * *
Taang!
Adele Sharon kicked the table with both hands and stood up.
“Does that make sense? “You want me to believe this now?”
She glared at Damdeok with a red face.
“… “Yes, this kind of reaction is normal, but that white cloud isn’t normal either.”
Damdeok, who was sitting on the other side of the table, crossed his arms and glanced at the white clouds diagonally in front of him.
Baekgureum shrugged his shoulders.
Ju Soo-yul, who was sitting across from him, kept his eyes closed.
Adele Sharon hits the table once again! He said hitting it.
“Don’t talk nonsense, just answer the question. What is this transparent window talking about now? What did you do to me that I suddenly see this! “Are you kidding me?”
A system window was floating in the air as Adele Sharon pointed.
Unlike usual, it was a window that everyone could see.
Damdeok spoke calmly.
“I’m not kidding. “There is no reason for that.”
Adele Sharon closed her mouth and glared at Damdeok.
I was angry.
I was truly captivated by Damdeok’s magic that he showed me earlier.
I wanted to learn.
It was the first time since I was a child that my heart pounded this hard.
But at most, they say it’s done after the festival is over… .
“god? Ha, you’re really a god?”
Adele Sharon’s tone was sharp.
Damdeok didn’t say anything.
This has already been explained.
And before my eyes, the system was clearly explaining the priest system and its roles, word by word.
‘I wondered how things would work out… .’
As expected, Baek Gu-reum, who jumped in to buy the product without considering it, must have been a special case.
However, Adele Sharon’s current behavior was by no means unusual.
‘Honestly, anyone would do this.’
Think about it.
What would you think if someone came and said, “You should be my priest!^^*” when in fact I am God?
Most likely, you will be treated like a crazy person.
Damdeok was sparing his words because he knew how he felt.
“… “Why don’t you get so excited and sit down for now.”
Even though the lower-ranking address quietly helped, Adele Sharon still could not calm her excitement.
“Noisy! Even though I showed them a favor, they treated me like a fool… !”
Perhaps she completely misunderstood the purpose of the priest explained by the system.
‘Then why did you put in a needless loyalty treaty… .’
In my heart, I wanted to shut the system’s fluttering mouths shut.
But this was just one of many mountains to climb in the future.
I have only met the second of the 12 guardians, and if I am already discouraged, I will not be able to protect anything.
Damdeok gazed at Adele Sharon.
“Why are you angry?”
There had never been any mischief in his eyes.
Adele Sharon asked back as if she was shocked.
“what… ? “Then did you really think I would swear to such a strange oath?”
“What’s strange?”
“It’s strange that you are a god.”
“You explained to me that it was just a job.”
Baekgureum quickly agreed with Damdeok’s words.
“That’s right, it’s the same as just awakening… Oh, don’t you know that this is an awakening?”
After that, haha! Baekgureum laughed, but no one laughed.
“It’s cheap… A dagger flies and stabs me in the chest… .”
Baekgureum muttered quietly to himself and then closed his mouth.
Adele Sharon continued, once again pointing to the system.
“And I must be called whenever you are called, I must live for you, and I must not neglect training for you… You want me to accept this without thinking? Are you kidding me?”
“I explained that too. I just need your strength in the great disaster ahead, and I will never call you for something useless. And for future battles, I will do my best to help you completely overcome your mana deficiency and fully learn magic. “Is this not enough?”
Damdeok was confident.
Because everything he said was true.
Unlike the system’s coercive tone, Damdeok’s tone was quite persuasive.
Adele Sharon hesitated for a moment.
After that, Damdeok struck again.
“This is a contract with the purpose of helping each other, and it is not against you at all. think carefully.”
She bit her lower lip at Damdeok’s calm words.
Above all, Adele Sharon was shaken by the words that it would completely overcome mana deficiency and allow her to fully learn magic.
“… “It allows me to use mana however I want even without equipment like gloves and elixir?”
Mana deficiency is an incurable disease.
It is a disease that innately cannot accept mana from the atmosphere, and not only the healing wizards who are considered to be powerful, but also the high priests who do not hesitate to respect it all shook their heads.
It was a disease that could never be cured, no matter how popular and rich he was.
But how can outsiders fix that?
Adele looked at Damdeok with half anger and half vague anticipation.
“I don’t know how yet. But I promise I will do my best.”
Adele could not hide her disappointment at Damdeok’s confident answer.
Ju Ju-yul looked at Damdeok and was lost in thought.
‘It’s impossible here.’
Mana deficiency is a disease that cannot be cured with Damdeok’s current powers.
‘You can only get that cure from the Fairy King. Or at least I have to get to where the third guardian, Ettin, is… .’
Although Damdeok’s progress in acquiring magic talent and magic research talent faster than expected was surprising, Adele Sharon was, as expected, a formidable opponent.
‘She needs some time after all.’
It was Adele Sharon who I always had the hardest time convincing.
As a superstar in the world of magic, she had a strong pride and had nothing to envy, but her only weakness was mana scarcity.
‘If you can’t fix that, there’s no reason for you to follow Damdeok.’
That’s a reasonable reason.
But for Damdeok, and for me too, Adele Sharon was one of the most necessary guardians.
‘Let’s give it some time.’
On the outside, Adele Sharon is a haughty superstar, but when you look up close, she seems like a childish person, but when she’s serious, she’s a very thoughtful person.
If you take some time and watch Damdeok gradually develop his magical talent, you will definitely be moved.
‘Anyway, there’s still time for Carlos to come out… .’
It would be enough time for Damdeok to learn all the basic magic.
“Let’s take some time… .”
It was at that time that Ju Soo-yul had just started speaking.
Coo coo coo coo! Coogung!
Adele Sharon’s entire mansion began to shake due to the loud noise.
“… what?”
“Is there a war?”
“What again?!”
Damdeok, Baekgureum, and Adele Sharon’s eyes simultaneously looked beyond the wide open terrace window.
“crazy… What is that.”
Adele Sharon covered her mouth without realizing it.
The northern forest, near the Pit of Curse, was covered with black flames and smoke.
It was a bizarre scene I had never seen before.
Adele Sharon and White Cloud walked closer to the window as if they couldn’t believe it.
Damdeok just stared with his mouth tightly shut.
“Ugh! Burnt smell!”
“Kekkek, my throat is sore.”
Adele Sharon and Baekgureum, who came close to the window, started coughing.
“Keck!”
A whiff of acrid smoke entered Damdeok’s nose as he sat.
At that time, when everyone was distracted by coughing, Jooyul muttered softly.
“Why is Karos already… .”
