Episode 908 Magic Festival (10)
Why is he called a new star?
Since ancient times, stars have been likened to the dreams of all people, an era that encompasses the world, and a hero.
The twinkling of the stars illuminates the observer’s ideals.The setting star covers the era with ruin.The newly rising star welcomes the birth of a great being.
That is why he is a star.
Technology that has advanced several steps beyond ancient times, including golems with a clear consciousness that far surpass the reproduction of artificial golems.
A phenomenal magical ability that pioneered a unique method of mana manipulation, aiming not merely to be respected but to proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with the greatest wizards in history.
The revival and return of the incantation magic system that existed before Hierarchy Magic.
Future, present, past.
A single wizard spans the ages, proving that this is indeed the age of magic.The eyes of those who look up to him are like those gazing at a new star. How then could anyone say that he is not a star?
Feldianne stood up.
Clap, clap, clap.
A low round of applause tickled the silence steeped in shock. At Master Artisan’s wordless praise, the audience stirred in body and heart.The resonance of short claps turned from a drizzle into a shower, and then into a torrential downpour.
Clap clap clap clap clap clapclap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clapclap!! Clap clap
The heartfelt applause of countless people shook the entirety of Gargant.Cheers, unsuited for the twilight, could be heard.
“Oh, Divine Being of the Magic Realm!”“Lord Verden! Long live!!”“Senior!!!!”“Brother…… *Gasp*.”
Charlotte and Aiden shouted Verden’s name at the top of their lungs. Naturally, Kalia also stood up and joined them.Iris and Theodor also screamed from the Academy’s designated seats.
Medrail Ruin Akenard, the granddaughter of the 7th Demon King, barely managed to stop herself from accidentally calling him “brother.”
As the Lord of the Bohemian Tower, Lobelin politely offered congratulatory applause, but her red eyes revealed extraordinary emotion.
This should have happened long ago.This is truly the position that suits Verden.
Isabella and the other members of Eon applauded, unable to suppress their overwhelming emotions. Aldevan even ended up shedding tears.The Ruler, Rateon Offniel, wore a somewhat stiff expression.
“What is that brig…?”
Thanks to the fervor of tens of thousands of people, the pressure had vanished before anyone realized it, but its aftermath was etched like a scar into the minds of some powerful individuals.An irresistible force.Rateon felt an unknown terror emanating from Verden’s final incantation.
He was not the only one for whom astonishment outweighed joy.
‘it’s crazy.’
Gentir Tower Master Sigril Lavinia Aquin swallowed a sigh.Cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
“A prosthetic golem replacing a missing body, a magic manipulation method that seems on par with
It is on a completely different level from ruling over an entire continent merely through transcendent strength. Sincetangible feats do not disappear unless history is completely lost, their influence takes firm root and seizes control of the mind.
Killing five transcendent beings and becoming the master of the first magic tower… … .Taking this into account, I prepared by raising my expectations as high as possible, but it seemed that daring to even anticipate him was a foolish thing to do.
To think it would reach a level where it challenges the miracles of the Luas religion and the uniqueness of the First Demon King.Who would have ever imagined such a thing?
There is no one who would not agree.
but.
It might have been a foreseen event.
Today’s performance by the Divine was practically the culmination of the attitude consistently displayed throughout the previous Magical World General Assembly and World Conference.
We must fully acknowledge it.
Shinseong is a being capable of changing the era on his own.
It has not been long since Eon was founded and began to reign as a transcendent being, yet it is already this strong. What will happen in a dozen or so years, or rather, in a few years?It is highly likely that Eon will rise as an inviolable force unconcerned by any external pressure.
Considering that the first Demon King is still revered as the God of Magic… … the Rising Star might become a Divine Star!
───I will arrange a separate time later to discuss what I will receive from the Zentir Magic Tower in exchange for the proof.
My heart sank with a thud.
A memory of the World Conference, where I had been humiliated after repeatedly demanding proof from Verden that the First Magic Tower was real, flashed through my mind.
Sigril’s mind went blankas hepondered how to resolve the situation to minimize the damage to the Zentir Magic Tower.
Meanwhile, there was also a Tower Master who had a completely different opinion from her.
“Magic power particles…… That’s it…… Yes, that’s it……!!”
Triton Martus, the Master of the Hellion Magic Tower, clenched his large fist in deep emotion. It was as if he had found the key he had been desperately searching for.His mind was filled entirely with magical siege weapons.
Eventually, the praise subsided.
As the sun disappeared below the horizon, the twilight came to an end.The night of the massive city began.
Verden said.
“It’s your turn, 7th Demon King.”
* * *
The turn passed.
With Verden’s announcement, the expectations for today’s Magic Festival have risen to an extreme level.
Even if extraordinary results are unveiled, failure to meet expectations will lead to disappointment.There is no room to retreat.Now that they have stepped onto the same stage as Verden, the Arkenad Magic Kingdom must present magical research on par with Eon’s to maintain its status.
At this, Vanzillis… … laughed.
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha!”
It was a smile that seemed to be enjoying the moment, devoid of any pressure from the stage.Heavy footsteps stopped right at the center of the stage.
“In such a brilliant age of magic, adding more light would likely be of little significance. As you can see, it is already dazzlingly bright.”
The class of the transcendent being was partially revealed.
So I stand here to protect this light for even longer.
Vangelis gave a speech.
“Remember the power source runaway incident at the Bohemian Magic Tower four years ago.”
The reason the previous Magic Festival was canceled.
“When the absolute premise that the Magic Tower’s power source was perfect and therefore indestructible was shattered, the shock the magical world received was indescribable. Some foresaw the beginning of a dark age for the world, while others for the fall of the Age of Magic. Countless mages predicted a bleak outlook. Fortunately, contrary to their views, the current magical world has regained its golden age. However, a rift once formed cannot be easily mended. Trust in the Age of Magic is this fragile.”
If you just keep stacking things up, it will eventually collapse.You need supports to withstand the load.
Faith. That is the subject of my research.
Vangelis unhesitatingly extended his arm and manifested a spatial magic circle on the right side of the stage.Because the nature of his magic was different, he could not create a magic circle without a preparation phase like Verden, so he borrowed the power of an artifact.
The unique colors of the space flicker.
What was transmitted via spatial coordinates was a ‘massive machine’ never seen before. A faint magical energy was detected from it, which took the form of a sphere.
“The power sources of the Ten Great Magic Towers contributed greatly to ushering in the Age of Magic. Although nine remain. It is a natural reaction for a mage to feel inwardly anxious about when they might run wild again, or what would happen if they were all to disappear someday. That is when I thought.”
Mado
“If a ‘new power source’ is born, will it be able to resolve that distrust?”
Whoooo
The world’s magical power was concentrated in the machine, guided by the flow of the source’s magic. At the same time, a blue light burst forth like an explosion.A ball of deep blue light rose in the center of the people’s eyes.
… … The blue sun beneath the darkness.
“Th-this feeling.”“This is unbelievable……!!”
Most of the Tower Masters attending the Magic Festival were the first to react violently.They were shocked in a different sense than when Eon made his announcement.
Power source.
This time, Verden opened his eyes wide.
“Although it may not be as good as the current Magic Tower’s power source, it can still function as one; thus, the Age of Magic has once again acquired ten power sources. Now, we could even create more than that.”
Vangelis asserted.
“Do not forget the past, but do not fear it. Reaching perfection through trial and error amidst infinite possibilities—that is magic. Believe.”
The power source of the 7th Demon King flashed.
“Now is truly the age of magic.”
It was a conclusion that faithfully carried on Verden’s final remarks.
A power source endowed with infinite magical power that played a decisive role in ushering in the Age of Magic.This new invention perfectly proved why Vangelis is regarded as the Magic King closest to the first Magic King.
Waaahh
An explosive cheer that was in no way inferior to the praise Verden received. The mages of the Magic Tower, in particular, were so stunned that they could not even react properly.
Another great achievement is etched into history.
Wizards grow stronger as they age.
Vangelis turned his head with a satisfied smile. His blueeyes, filled with a mixture of emotions as if quite shocked, met Verden’s gaze as he observed the new power source.
“I am in my prime, too, Verden.”
Just as Verden has reached the highest level of his entire 29-year life,Vangelis Ruin Akenad is also facing his wisest and most powerful moment in real time within a life that spans well over a hundred years.
Divinity and the Seven Great Demon Kings.
The scene of two transcendent beings, who had achieved feats comparable to the first Demon King, facing each other was captured in a painting and published in the Gargant newspaper at dawn that day.
The title was as follows.
The protagonist of the magical age.
* * *
Indeed, befitting of his descendant.
The Provider watched from a distance the power source of the magic tower revealed by the 7th Demon King.
This was not part of my destiny.
Of course.
In the virtual future woven by the Wheel of Fortune, the major incident of the Bohemian Magic Tower’s power source running wild due to Verden never occurred.Since there was no cause, there was no way for a result to emerge.
The agent, Meia, narrowed her eyebrows.
“I never imagined the Seven Great Demon Kings were secretly designing a power source. Even if there was a trigger.”“Given his exceptional talent, he is bound to react strongly to even the smallest changes. However, in the end, that is nothing more than an invention where the Seven Great Demon Kings focused solely on power.”
The Provider shifted his gaze.
“Not a true power source.”
Since their essences are completely different, the function and meaning of the power sources cannot be the same. Nothing has changed. There are still nine ‘power sources for the primordial wizards’.
Meia scowled.
“That’s right, as expected, the dangerous thing is divinity.”
Golem had expected it, and
Anyway… … the problem was the third one.
It would have been fine to stop at demonstrating the incantation magic learned at the First Magic Tower.Why, then, did he recite the Primordial Mage’s unique incantation magic at the very end? Meia knew what that magic was, so she was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Verden himself seems unaware of it, taking it for granted, there exists a type of incantation magic that cannot be stopped midway.
Oppression, Radiance, Waves, Descending to Heaven. O cosmic meteor, rest here.
This is an example.
If the incantation had been forced and a true cosmic meteor had fallen, Gargant would have been destroyed unless it responded immediately with super-level magic.
“A really crazy man…….”
Meia sincerely criticized.
Even the Provider, who usually remained silent, could not help but nod this time.
It was a crazy thing to do.
The Provider secretly rubbed his hands to wipe away the slight cold sweat.Then, he left the stage of the Magic Festival behind.
The time is coming soon.
* * *
West of the Free State of Formene, the city of Zantra.
Those who could not enjoy the magic festival in Gargant from the start due to personal reasons hurried to at least watch the latter half. Thiswas because of the information that the Academy lectures of the Divine and Provider would begin at the end of the festival.
Those who had come to Zantra for their final rest were scrambling to find carriages. Wealthy travelers planned to hire Icarus’s international carriages and leave the city at dawn.
In the midst of that, a strange rumor was heard.
“I heard there’s a strange dwarf at the tavern on the outskirts over there?”
