Episode 916 Beyond the Dimension
The realization of a fourth coordinate that does not exist in reality is the creation of a fourth dimension, and the principles of higher dimensions ignore the barriers of lower dimensions.
Unless the magic of the scriptures pioneered by Balok Besias is completely imitated, even the magic of Verden cannot recreate the Fourth Dimension Super-Rank Magic Circle.
So, through trial and error in my spare time, I have been dismantling, interpreting, and reconstructing the super-rank magic circle in my own way.
The current completion level is about 60% out of 10.
Even if it is past the halfway point, the level of completion is insufficient to start it up as a test run. At the very least, it must be at least 80% complete to determine success or failure.
Super-level magic is the essence of a transcendent being of the magic world.
It is by no means an easy task to fully make the magical principles contained within this one’s own.
From the start, transcendent beings of the magical world, excluding Verden, do not even attempt it because they consider it impossible without a doubt.In reality, it is impossible.
anyway.
Ignacia fills in the rest that is lacking.
Whoooosh… … .
While Verden was drawing a new super-level magic circle, Ignacia lightly snapped her fingers while sitting in mid-air.
Madou
A unique magic that traverses the boundaries between reality and virtuality and creates illusions has been unleashed.
A hazy and transparent mirage of fantasy rippled in reality. One by one, they settled into the magic circle that Verden was constructing.
“Come to think of it, the situation is similar to when that guy Dahit spread the dream. Lending super-tier magic to the leader of the previous Black Hour, and lending super-tier magic to the current leader of the Black Hour as well. It seems Black Hour and I get along surprisingly well, don’t you think?”
While Verden contributed significantly to the chaos on the continent, she is no less so.It is just that most people do not know this precisely.
“Alpha, you have the Memory Golem, right? The one you showed at the World Conference. Do you want to record this?”“Focus on your magic.”“I don’t want to remain purely as a memory like Dahit, you know? I need something to show off to others, don’t I? You admit it, right? You admit it? You saw that Verden gave his permission, right?”
[Confirmation of His Majesty Verden’s tacit intent. Memory Golem activated.]
The function of the Memory Golem embedded in the Mini Golem was activated.
Ignacia displayed various sides of herself while doing her job.She lifted her Milky Way-like hair to reveal her jade-like nape, or gave a double thumbs-up from behind Verden, who was closing his eyes and concentrating.
“… … You’re distracted.”
Verden sighed inwardly, his eyes flashing, and clasped his palms together. The magic circle rotating in the air responded to his will.
Left hand down.Right hand up.
The magic circle, split into two precisely horizontally, descended or rose to the ground and sky respectively, growing in size.
Circles of the same or different sizes, countless curves and straight lines, shapes with regularity… Two massive super-level magic circles were completed.
Ignacia frowned.
“This is damn baffling. I didn’t exactly major in magic circles, but I can’t interpret even a quarter of it. I’d believe it if you told me Balok came back to life. Did you perhaps learn magic circles from Balok? The story of a hidden disciple abandoned by their master and seeking revenge? With your talent, he would never have abandoned you. Ah! Did he try to kill you out of jealousy?”“Stop the nonsense.”
Ignacia knew that the transcendent being who killed Baloch Besias was Verden, not Dahit, but she did not know why Verden did so.
It’s definitely emotional… Hmm, what could it be?
In fact, clues had already been scattered, but Ignacia’s common sense hindered her reasoning.The idea that a first-tier mage could independently and completely overcome the hierarchy limits to become a potential transcendent being of a different caliber was something she could not comprehend unless she grasped the magic circle of reverse heaven.
How can I stop caring?
To Ignacia, Verden was no different from a treasure chest from which, although she didn’t know what would come out, every single gift was delightful.
[Eleventh phase. Communication lost. 7 minutes 34 seconds.]
“Ignacia, to your seat.”“Confirmed.”
Verden and Ignacia stood facing each other with the super-level magic circle between them. A faint light of magical power illuminated their figures.
The principle itself is simple.
Ignacia breaks down the boundaries of reality to complement the magic circle with illusions, while Verden simultaneously coordinates the entire magic circle in real-time to find the solution.
It is expected that there will be significant backlash because, rather than linking Super-tier magic like Darkmoon Dream, it involves inserting Super-tier magic into Super-tier magic.
The longer you delay, the higher the instability becomes.
Failure if the magic circle is canceled due to a timeout.Failure if the magic circle is activated incorrectly.
Verden, the master of the magic circle, must bear the cost of all failures. If the magic circle collapses, the backlash from Ignacia’s super-tier magic will hit directly.In such a situation, suffering a severe blow to the mental realm would be fatal.
There is no hesitation.
Walking on a thin tightrope where a single wrong step would send you plummeting off a cliff was something Verden was all too familiar with.
“Alpha, see you in a moment.”
[Long live His Majesty Verden.]
As the pure magical power that powered the Mini Golem was withdrawn, Alpha fell asleep. In this state, Alpha is treated as an object rather than a living being.
According to the memories Balok showed in the past, an unprecedented pressure unfamiliar in the Fourth Dimension not only constricted his entire body but pressed down hard.Since even a Transcendent being needed time to adapt, Alpha could potentially be in danger. Even if the Mini Golem has high resistance, there is no reason to deliberately risk uncertainty.
Above all, Verden did not consider the possibility of other life forms, excluding himself, entering the function of the reconstructed super-level magic circle. After all,if he were to scrutinize every detail from the start, the completion itself would be delayed.
Verden safely stored the mini golem in [Reindia]’s subspace.
“Ahaha, you’re just like a parent.”“Then—”“I’ll unfold.”
Ignacia, who had taken away Verden’s ambassador, overlapped his fingers except for his thumb.
The first joints of the fingers wrapped around each other.
When I created the world conference hall, I envisioned a concrete image, but this time, I need an ambiguous image that can transform into any form.It was quite laborious because the form is not clear, but there is no problem.
Reality because it exists.Illusion because it does not exist.
Ignacia is the master of that boundary.
A light reminiscent of a galaxy radiated from her eyes and hair.Her presence silenced the entire area.
He pushed his elbow outward.
The eight fingers are pulled, creating friction at the first joint. Immediately after, as they touch the fingernails and pass the fingertips, the air floats up.
Super-level magic.
Manifestation of the Boundary:
The boundaries of reality have collapsed.
As the traces of illusion that Ignacia had planted in the magic circle beforehand awakened, the part of the magic circle pointed out by Verden became blurry.
There are exactly 36 points where reality must be supplemented by illusion.Since there are two magic battles, that makes a total of 72 points.
Pow!
A transparent sphere that bounced off Ignacia’s forehead seeped into Verden’s brow. He fully accepted it by drastically lowering his mental strength.
“You have handed over exactly half of the initiative to the Realm of Illusion. Once an illusion is fixed, it cannot be reversed, so judge carefully.”
Ignacia displays countless possibilities as illusions, and Verden finds the correct answer among them to enhance the perfection of the super-level magic circle.
So, the synergy between the two was important.
Kugugugugugugugu… … .
A faint tremor emanating from the magic circle shook the earth and the sky. Though subtle for now, this vibration would soon shatter safety into pieces.
Ignacia’s hand trembled slightly.
The reaction is more intense than I expected, isn’t it? I can’t last long with this.
Verden stretched out both arms forcefully and assumed the same posture as her.The shaking of the magic circle stopped for a moment.
“I’ll finish it in four minutes.”“Can’t you do seven?”“No.”
Whooooooong───
Two magic circles embodied in Verden’s
Pat. Pat. Pat. Pat. Pat.
As the illusion solidified, the empty spaces in the magic circle were filled one by one. The speed was fast. Too fast.Verden had no qualms about searching for glass shards in the midday desert.
“I could never catch up to his understanding of magic, even if I died and came back to life. Since that is innate, he must have been like this even when he wasn’t a transcendent being. It isn’t just talk; he might genuinely possess talent on par with the First Demon King.”
I recall Verden’s research demonstrated at the Magic Festival and the crowd’s praise for him.
Ignacia grinned.
It’s fun, it’s fun, it’s fun. But I can’t lose.
Based on the fixed illusion Verden had established, she arbitrarily reduced the number of possibilities. It would have been a disaster to eliminate the correct answer, but she did not hesitate either.
If Ignacia intervenes forcibly like this, her mental realm will be damaged if she fails. As a transcendent being of the mental realm, the damage would be greater than that of Verden.Of course, such danger was nothing compared to the immediate pleasure.
─────────!
The completion level of the super-level magic circle rose steeply, as if in a competition. 70 percent. 75 percent. 78 percent… … Soon, it broke through the minimum completion level of 80 percent.
3 minutes and 20 seconds have passed.
Immediately after filling in 70 out of 72, the two people simultaneously selected the illusion. They were now within sight of 90%, the maximum level of completion for now.
Ignacia filled the remaining spot as she pleased, but she did not mind.Her eyes were filled with conviction.
The entire magic circle became clear.
Verden quickly moved his palms, extended up and down respectively, in opposite directions and crossed them at the height of the center of his upper body.
Super-rank magic circle.
Diashencio
Two massive magic circles surged up, then plummeted and collided.The boundary of nothingness.A crack appeared on the horizon created by the overlapping magic circles, like shattering glass.
Crackle crackle crackle…
The fourth coordinate opened.
* * *
Still lacking compared to Balok’s, the faint, mirage-like passageway was quite unstable.As expected, it would be safer to enter alone, just as originally designed.
It will probably close in a dozen seconds.
“Thanks for the help.”“I’d like to say that this leaves two debts… but I’ll make an exception. There is one debt left, after all.”
Ignacia gestured playfully.
Make the world a joyful place. For me.
It was her own form of encouragement.
Verden smiled faintly and stepped onto the fourth coordinate. Since he had shared Balloch’s memories, he knew exactly what to do.
Verden’s figure disappeared.
“……Ahaha.”
Naturally, just because she had finished her work, there was no way Ignacia would quietly withdraw like this.
Verden said it was dangerous as it was not a magic circle designed for multiple people, but as a wizard overflowing with curiosity, it would be a lifelong disgrace not to take on the challenge.She darted forward like a cat and thrust her head into the fourth dimension.
Ugh.
I felt an inexplicable spatial wave.A strange pressure pressed against my skin.
Ignacia concentrated her attention on her eyes as much as possible in agony. And… … she saw a massive object existing in the fourth dimension.
Ah, a devil?
An overwhelmingly large demonic hand situated in the center of the lightless darkness.
Ignacia witnessed the demonic refuge created by the Great Demon of Darkness—Rivereas. Though she did not know its true identity.
Unconsciously, I pushed further into the entrance to examine it more closely. It was the moment when the unstable entrance was made heavier, equal to Ignacia’s presence.
“……!”
Ignacia pulled away suddenly.
Snap. The dimension closed.
The entrance to the fourth coordinate vanished, and the meadows near Gargant swayed in the breeze. In the settled silence, Ignacia rubbed her neck.
Phew, I almost got fired.
I almost made it into history as the most absurdly dead transcendent being.No, since the public probably doesn’t know exactly how I died, they will likely write all sorts of stories about Ignacia’s headless corpse as they please.
anyway.
“That was definitely a devil…….”
I wonder why the devil’s hand was seen beyond the fourth coordinate. Perhaps there is something else besides the devil’s hand.
She touched her lips and shrugged her shoulders before bursting into laughter.A refreshing laugh echoed across the meadow.
“Ah, I told you, you really have to choose your friends wisely. Hahaha.”
Ignacia’s gaze became incredibly serious.
I need to do some magic research for the first time in a while.
Verden enhanced the perfection of the Super-Rank Magic Circle with the help of Ignacia. This process will serve as the foundation for the true completion of the Super-Rank Magic Circle in the future.
and.
With all her senses open, Ignacia shared the same experience as Verden. She also had clues about the super-rank magic circle.
Outside the system.
A transcendent being from beyond the boundary began to take a great interest in the boundary of the fourth dimension.
* * *
Verden concentrated his consciousness and headed toward the coordinates of the Luas Theocracy. Entrusting his entire body to the spatial flow of the fourth dimension, he rapidly floated through the fourth coordinate system.
Found it.
As I approached the destination, I sensed something beyond the coordinates. Screams, screams, and explosions in the third dimension… It was truly a sound that absolutely must not have been heard in the headquarters of a world religion.
Is the Luas religion struggling?
From three dimensions to four.From four dimensions back to three.
Verden threw himself into the Ruas Theocracy without the slightest hesitation.
The light flashed before my eyes.
