Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 78＞

It wasn’t the pain on her face or the bitterness of defeat that awakened Daphne’s spirit. It was just a question that filled my brain.

‘… … .’

Calmly expand your thoughts.

It was fully expected that he would lose.

The opponent was Ruin, no, it was the world’s strongest intelligence imitating a human.

But something was strange.

The most fundamental word to describe them is case.

Absolute word.

A magic technique that cannot be fathomed by human wisdom.

A faraway place that humans can’t reach, a transcendental grace of a different class, and something that makes you thoroughly feel such noble power.

That was the characteristic of the dragons he knew and the great beings that the Sorcerers had recorded.

But that being… … .

Daphne has no choice but to look at Ruin with an extremely confused feeling.

After that, let’s try again calmly.

The first is a confrontation with Shiron.

With ferocious movements, it rams its fist into the opponent’s belly.

A single blow against magic.

It is more like a knight than a wizard.

Second, Lyria.

An absolute blockade spell that only claims to be a ‘magical field’, and a sleep magic close to the ‘mind spell’ that follows.

Such an overwhelming dragon’s super-high-level magic is used to deal with the third-tier magician, Lyria.

The third was the most shocking.

Starting with the official hat he took out of the subspace, it was absurd.

An unimaginable authority called the ‘magic-resistant absorption field’.

It was a crazy artifact that instantly made his magic power, which had been amplified by about 4 times due to ‘breath of frost’, useless.

I had never heard of an artifact capable of maintaining such high-level large-scale field magic at all times.

If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Moreover, Ruin’s behavior after that was even more shocking.

The grain of magical power he felt was clearly elemental magic that seemed to be a 3rd tier, and even a thunderbolt.

The problem is the amount.

Ruin’s transparent magical blades were literally innumerable.

No matter how 3rd tier magic is, does it make sense to spread it in thousands of units?

It was not common sense how much mana there was, or even more so, the absurd calculation power required for thousands of spells.

Even if it’s a dragon, isn’t this too absurd?

What was even more embarrassing was… … .

It is his official hat that fell to the floor at the decisive moment.

Toss such a transcendent artifact of inestimable value to the ground without hesitation?

It was more shocking than thousands of magic blades.

People, no magicians, respected and valued artifacts.

It was an action that could not be done according to the notion of a magician.

In this way, the more he reviewed his great magic battles, the more extreme his battles became.

Incapacitate the opponent in one shot with the optimal movement, or subdue it at once with overwhelming magic.

If it was for the sake of victory, he would not hesitate to throw away a transcendental artifact.

He did not consider the norms or common sense of the human world at all, such as punching a lady in the face.

A being like that is a dragon, a master of magic?

“oh!”

Shiron finally found Daphne, who was drooping and wide-eyed.

“Mo, are you okay?”

“are you okay.”

Daphne woke up.

Pusssss-

An impact so strong that the remains of the wall flowed down.

Daphne staggered towards Ruin.

Ruin was staring at her with his characteristic nonchalant eyes.

“In the meantime, it seems that he protected his body to some extent by spreading his magic shield. excellent.”

Complimenting a subject that made a person such an idiot.

Daphne felt like an experiment in a flask.

“In the future, don’t overuse memorizing like that. It is said that there is nothing you can do about using it in a crisis situation, but if it becomes a habit, it will not help you improve your actual skills.”

who doesn’t know that

Since memorizing magic assumes the situation and unfolds it, it cannot respond to the complex variables of battle.

The ability to improvise in a combat environment is reduced.

Even so, the reason why Daphne used memorization unreasonably was because her opponent was a dragon.

At that time, Shiron looked at Ruin again with a bewitched look.

“What the hell are you… … ?”

How can you deal so easily with Daphne, the sage’s apprentice, the towering wizard!

If I hadn’t seen it myself, I would never have believed it.

The owner of the god hand class subspace.

Sleep magic comparable to mental magic.

Besides, what’s the absolute blockade order?

What’s more absurd is his powerful taijutsu, which can’t even be judged.

With that alone, he was embodying a battle in which all common sense of a wizard was shattered.

This is not at the cadet level.

Even if only one of his current abilities were properly revealed, the academy would be turned upside down.

Ruin smiled at Shiron.

A well-expected reaction.

His fighting style was far from the elegance of a wizard.

A battlefield stained with the blood of friends and enemies.

It is a combat method for interpersonal killing built solely to kill the opponent, built up by dying and reviving countless times in such a place.

No matter how weak the opponent is, don’t belittle them.

At least in battle, he does not prepare for the contingency or backtrack for the sake of strategy.

The best choice, the best route, and the best way to face the enemy.

Because the results of thinking and hesitating were always devastating.

This way of his own will not be easily handled by the short experience of the cadets.

“… … .”

It was intentionally shown to be shocked.

If you really want to befriend yourself, you must not turn your head to the traces of the horrors of darkness.

Ruin stood there with the mindset that this was the end of the relationship if he couldn’t handle even this small inspiration.

“How can I be like you?”

Lilia’s transparent eyes are shining endlessly.

It’s not just curiosity.

It shows a truly transcendent will that transcends desires and aspirations.

Academies and martial arts competitions meant nothing to her now.

“You just have to do it like now.”

“like now?”

Ruin scattered his magical energy under the moonlight.

“If you have a place you want to reach, staying away from it is always a good choice.”

Ruin’s magical power draws a mysterious wave and spreads slowly in all directions.

“Are you a noble?”

To Chiron, this seemed important.

Pretending not to care about his status, pretending not to care, but deep down he seemed to want Ruin to be an aristocrat.

“Is that a major determining factor in your relationship?”

Ruin looked at Severon.

“It was like that. Why did you leave that guy’s respectful words alone? If you are not of the same aristocrat, I will not tolerate such a beating that you cannot be equal to me.”

“That, it’s not like that!”

Louin laughed.

“Your entourage. They acted like a military organization. loyalty to the master. Your relationship is proof that you are looking forward to the academy after graduation.”

“no! I am… … .”

Ruin’s mana, which filled the great magic battle arena, slowly began to form a spell.

“I’m in a hurry. what makes you rush The grandson of a sage, a promising mage of the famous magic family. Do you believe that adding the talents of the academy will make a difference?”

Tsutsutsutsutsutsu-

The unknown magic created by Ruin’s spell was erasing all traces of magic in the Great Magic Battlefield.

Now, even if a high-ranking magician pursues it, they will not be able to infer the battle that took place here through the remnants of magic.

“Even if you put Lyria in the boundaries of the talent you want to build and even me, nothing will change unless you change yourself.”

“… … .”

When the feelings she had been exposed to were revealed, Shiron could not speak any more.

“Do you think I can become ‘Chiron’s aide Ruin’?”

At that moment, Shiron felt as if he had been pierced by lightning.

“How about that Lyria?”

That’s how I realized that poetry theory is impossible.

Ruin and Lilia didn’t want anything from themselves.

Like the students close to them, they neither hoped for the halo of the famous magic family nor did they aspire to success.

“If the relationship between you and me is the Ruin of Shiron, the Shiron of Ruin, I will gladly accept it. If you don’t intend to… … .”

Ruin’s magic power faded at once.

Only the soft moonlight cast over the battlefield.

“Forget everything up until now and get out of here.”

Shiron froze as he stood.

Ruin’s eyes looking at him.

His numb feelings, as if cutting through his skin, were tearing his whole heart to shreds.

The eyes seemed to be looking at inanimate objects rather than people.

In his eyes, the human personality that should have been there was obliterated.

How is it possible for a person to look like that?

Ruin stared at Lyria again.

“Of course, I didn’t show all of you. Do you really intend to stay away from me until the end?”

Lillia nodded her head without hesitation.

“huh.”

Ruin, who smiled faintly, shifted his gaze to Daphne.

“If you’re shallow enough to pry behind me… … .”

“The thought of wanting to get away from you… … There is no chill. I’ve already thrown away all my shallow feelings.”

By the time Ruin’s eyes were stained with strangeness.

“Daphne Alenciana. I will always stand by your side.”

Standing under the moonlight, Daphne raised her breath of frost and drew her magic in the air.

It’s a magician’s oath.

As a mage, it was a ceremony of no light weight.

“jeon… … .”

From nob le mt l. co m

Feeling Ruin’s cold stare, Shurie looked at Liria.

In the first place, the reason why she volunteered to be an assistant cadet for one year was for everyone to meet that Lyria.

However, as long as that Lilia decided to be with Ruin, the one-year magic student life was no different from being broken.

Above all, Shurie is also a wizard.

I was fascinated by Ruin’s unknown magic, his terrifying magic.

Shurie looked at Liria and smiled.

“yes. I am the same as Lyria.”

Ruin, who was nodding indifferently, continued Severon’s question.

“Your chess. Can you teach me if you want to learn?”

Blood fighting system could not be learned without understanding true magic.

Above all, a blood god that transcends all human grudges, hatred, and fear had to be premised.

“My taijutsu cannot be taught.”

Severon’s slightly disappointed expression.

“But something similar can be taught.”

“Similar?”

“At least it will be enough to harden that fragile body like steel.”

There were countless taijutsu in Ruin’s head.

In particular, many martial artists had already learned the training method of Fist King Tessel five hundred years ago.

Sirha, the agent of wind, was also a colleague who was inspired by Fist King Tessel’s training method and achieved superhuman status.

“Teach me too.”

Shiron desperately realized how powerless a wizard can be in front of the movements of a martial artist or a knight.

Shiron said firmly to Severon.

“Severon. Now put away that stupid honorific.”

“Go, what does that mean all of a sudden?”

Shiron and his aides had a goal to complete together.

Somehow, it seemed that Shiron had sorted out all his goals so far and accepted a new dream.

“Can you teach me too?”

Louin laughed.

“Of course. Poetry.”

at that time.

“Ah… … aww… … !”

under the bright moonlight.

Louise, a dumb dropout, smiled brightly and was caressing the fluttering magic power.

The cadets immediately recognized that it was the magic that Ruin had just shaken off.

“uh? Did the ceremony disappear?”

“Eh, synchronicity?”

In the past, even the sage Egios, who tried to ‘synchronize’ with Ruin’s magical power, was thrown away by the powerful repulsive force.

That’s why Ruin’s magic was so unique.

A magician who sleeps.

Silent Judge Louise.

Looking at Louise like that, Ruin smiled brightly.

“I am not the only one you all have to learn from.”
