How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

My eyes were red and my head was dizzy.

Countess Hermery thought she was dreaming.

In fact, it was more so because of the hazy mind and the senses that were not felt well.

‘What was I doing… .’

I’m confused because I’m so confused.

Oh, I remembered.

While searching for the vampire’s hideout, he unexpectedly met the royal family.

‘royalty… . I have to use it as my test subject.’

An arcane blood magic that has almost ceased to be passed down now.

I got it accidentally after entering the Casein Guild, but there were several side effects.

A typical example is that the character becomes explosive.

Originally, Countess Ermeri had a docile and kind personality, so sometimes this kind of personality was too unfamiliar to her.

There were times when he took on the role of the head of the Casein Guild branch and did cruel or illegal things, but each time, the side effects only got worse.

There were very occasional times when the madness of blood magic soared.

At such times, I always saw blood, but after it ended, I became disillusioned with myself.

She read all kinds of knowledge to fix this side effect.

And what I found out was that the blood serum found in the heart of the vampire royalty helped to get rid of the side effects.

When I found out, I almost gave up.

alien race.

How did he catch the vampire royalty?

I sure did…

‘To really see the vampire royalty in a place like this.’

When I happened to see the vampire royalty here, cheers erupted spontaneously.

With that, I won’t suffer from the side effects of blood magic anymore!

So excited, he attacked the vampire royalty.

But maybe it was because I had too high expectations for him?

Madness appeared after a long time, and when he smelled the blood of the royal family, he became completely confused.

A situation where you can’t even see the front.

The thoughts that remained in my head gradually disappeared, and there was not much left.

‘royalty… Experimental… I have to kill him.’

The royal family must be killed.

Those thoughts were constantly running through my head.

At that time, something caught my eye.

A person with silver hair and silver eyes, clad in blue mana.

what was your name

I don’t remember it well, but I was very used to it.

Genius, Hope, Support, Deal, Collaboration… royalty.

yes.

The royal family must be killed.

“Logan! Logan!”

Leo shouted, looking down at the charred bat.

Logan was reverse summoned by Countess Ermeri’s blow.

I was very worried.

‘The damage must be bigger because I cast a debuff magic at the last minute.’

Familiar magic is a magic that takes a lot of damage to the magician if it is forcibly canceled.

However, Logan even took a debuff to weaken the blinded Countess Ermeri.

Although he was inferior to Logan, Leo was also a third-class wizard, so he knew the theory.

In order to use magic against the opponent in the form of a familiar bat, I had to take the risk and increase the synchro rate.

Since the bat died in such a state, the blow would be enormous.

In addition to the psychological damage, there was also the possibility that the level of magic had fallen.

‘Damn it. If I did well, I could have recruited him as an assistant.’

I was excited at the thought of being able to command a 6th-class wizard under my command.

Things got very twisted.

Leo looked at Countess Ermeri in front of him.

“Keugh… .”

Now she looked like she had completely lost her mind.

Magical power was radiating from all over the body, and chilly goosebumps appeared on the skin.

It was a terrifying figure, but seeing it paradoxically, Leo felt that it was quite worthwhile.

“It seems that the debuff worked better than I thought.”

Countess Ermeri’s mana control was very low.

If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way someone as talented as her would be unable to manage her own mana and let it leak out like that.

She unexpectedly stretched out her arms.

-bang!

“Kuh! Are you all right!”

“Worry about you first, not me!”

Celise was worried about Leo even while cutting the fireball that Countess Hermery had sent her in half.

Of course, Leo, who made the ice armor to prevent sparks from splashing on his body, wanted her to take care of himself first.

Leo took out the Orb of Light.

A pure white light appeared on the palm of my hand.

Legacy and weapon of the great king of karst.

It has the effect of doubling the casting speed, and allows you to use light attribute magic with a level of skill higher than that of the wizard himself.

“Light shower!”

When he used 4th class magic, a huge amount of mana drained away like the tide.

In exchange for being able to use abilities higher than the limit, the cost was much more mana.

Balls of light fall from the sky like hailstones.

Even when Countess Ermeri saw it, she did not avoid it.

As she snapped her fingers, dozens of fiery spears were launched into the sky.

In the air, the balls of light and the spears of fire collided and offset each other.

Leo tutted and clicked his tongue.

“As expected, this method doesn’t work.”

The simple light attribute alone cannot defeat the destructive flame magic.

Because it only consumes a lot of mana, the third-class ice magic was more likely.

-Suddenly!

At that moment, Celise’s sword grazed Countess Hermery’s shoulder.

It was a blow aimed at the gap where sight and hearing were shaking due to magic bombardment.

Sellies was surprised when he succeeded in attacking.

no way. I never thought I’d give a 5th rank wizard a shot.

“… It worked, lower!”

“You can’t be at ease anymore. Anyway, it’s just a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

Leo said, spraying an ice barrier in front of Celise.

bang! The barrier exploded, but Selize was able to safely retreat to Leo’s side.

Leo calmly assessed the situation.

Even in the midst of this, he did not lose his cool and composure himself, which was great.

It must have been because of his traits such as [Excellent brain rotation] and [Standard will], but thanks to that, he found a way out.

“Selise. Right now, Countess Ermeri is not in a normal condition.”

“Yes. At a glance, it seems so.”

“It seems that reason has been blown away halfway, and only runs amok in the realm of instinct.”

If she had been hostile with the cold-hearted reason of a 5th-class wizard, the odds of winning would have been 0%, but now it’s different.

“I said that Logan was debuffed before he was reverse summoned. I don’t know if it’s because of that or because my mind went crazy, but I can’t seem to use 5th class magic.”

If it wasn’t for that, they would have been roasted whole a long time ago.

Personally, I think there is an influence of both.

Because in such a crazy state, you won’t be able to perform sophisticated magic at the 5th class level.

“Kuaaa!”

Countess Hermery let out a scream now.

It seems the madness exploded more because he saw blood on his own shoulder.

“Let’s do it!”

“Yes!”

After Leo erected an ice barrier around Charpeng, who was about to die, he rejoined the battle.

* * *

The light ice attribute was a combination of ice and light.

On the other hand, Countess Ermeri used fire magic and blood magic.

It fired sparks and exploded, sometimes exploding its own blood or creating objects.

And these things allowed Leo to take the upper hand in the match even in a very subtle way.

-bang!

Another explosion sent Leo rolling across the ground.

A little blood could be seen between the ragged robes.

i’m dying of pain

“Lowering!”

“I’m okay!”

Celise was worried about Leo.

Even though he had already suffered quite large burns all over his body.

How long has it been since the battle took place?

Mentally, it seemed like it had been more than 30 minutes, but my cool-headed reason was telling me.

It’s only been 5 minutes.

Countess Ermeri was weak and insane in many ways, but Leo and Celise were pushed aside.

As expected, he is a 5th-class wizard called the next-generation star of the empire.

Even with multiple penalties, it was overwhelmingly strong.

Leo and Celise somehow endured and endured.

Thinking that if I dragged out time, I would see a way out, so I gave up all my strength.

Swinging a sword and shooting magic without rest… .

Before they knew it, the two fell into a trance to the point where they couldn’t even tell what they were doing.

‘stuffy.’

Leo felt strange.

He fired ice arrows and counterattacked whenever he had a chance while building a barrier.

However, the magic that was unfolding a little while ago was not cool.

It felt uncomfortable and stuffy, like walking in water.

‘Isn’t that how you do it? Why are you still uncomfortable?’

It seems like a voice is coming from inside my heart.

I’m not doing this.

you know a better way

The inside of the cave was muggy from the flames.

It’s so hot that it’s drowsy and you’re going to lose your mind.

Leo instinctively followed the voice.

The 1st class dealing with points of mana, and the 2nd and 3rd classes dealing with lines and figures.

If you go one step further from there, starting from the 4th class, you create planes instead of dots and lines.

Stacking planes made of magical power means recognizing space!

Leo unknowingly flicked his hand.

It was always magic that started at Leo’s fingertips, but this time it was different.

A flower of ice formed behind Countess Ermeri and exploded.

“Big… !”

She blocked it quickly, but she screamed because she was hit by a sudden blow.

making use of space.

It was a skill that only those who rose to the true 4th class and were called ‘mages’ performed.

Thanks to Leo’s magic, there was a gap.

“Haaap!”

Celise kicked off the ground and sprang out.

Before she knew it, black energy like blue flames flowed from her sword body.

“hahahaha. Sword expert?”

Leo let out a weak laugh.

He is also himself, and Selize’s talent is astounding.

How do you break the wall and move forward in this situation?

– Kwajik!

Selisse’s sword cut through Countess Ermeri’s improvised barrier of flame.

The swirling flames were still hot, but she didn’t care and dug in between them.

her eyes glow

The gazes of Celise and Countess Ermeri collided very close.

– Perok!

Hit in the temple by the handle of the sword that had been swung like thunderbolt, Countess Hermery collapsed.

At the same time, the flames that filled the surrounding caves died out.

Silence came to the space that had been filled with explosions and noises just a moment ago.

“… Whoa. I barely won.”

Leo grabbed his wobbly legs and stood up.

“Selise. It’s fine?”

I called Celise, but there was no answer.

After the attack was successful, she too was lying side by side next to Countess Hermery.

I tried to get closer, just in case, but I just collapsed from exhaustion.

Leo also wanted to lie down next to him and fall asleep, but he forced himself to come to his senses.

His work isn’t over yet.

Why did you fight so hard?

Wasn’t it to kill Charpeng and get the blood serum?

Leo approached the molten ice barrier.

Charpenn had passed out as if a rat had died, as if he hadn’t come to his senses even in this chaos.

And soon, Leo’s expression darkened.

“ah… It’s ruined.”

Charpenn wasn’t fainting, he was already dead.
