How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

ice in action.

One of the 4th class arcane magic included in Frost Breath, it was a magic that created an ice summoned beast.

Leo had secretly sprinkled his own mana particles on the hem of Andrew’s clothes when he was meeting with the first queen.

Of course, no matter how talented a wizard he is, there aren’t many things he can do with just one mana particle.

If you just feel black magic around the mana particles, react as it is and unfold ＜Active Ice – Eagle＞.

It has only one function installed.

It was because I thought that if it was Andrew, he would definitely show a gap.

And that prediction was exactly right.

– Damn it.

As the ice eagle opened its mouth wide, the cold spread out.

“Kuk!”

Andrew backed away, and the warlock Mtilet also cast a defensive spell in front of him.

“Hey, how did this happen… .”

Andrew had a look of despair.

I’m not sure how things turned out, but the outcome is certain.

The situation he was conspiring with the black magician was caught.

That was the moment.

“What are you bruising on!”

-Puong!

Mtireth flicked his hand, and the ice eagle burned roaringly.

Even though the eagle was surrounded by black flames, it galloped through the air towards him.

Mtileth’s eyebrows twitched.

‘Why is that thing resisting my magic?’

From the outside, it looked like a summoned animal made of ice-type, but that summoned creature only managed to withstand its attacks.

It was impossible.

Mtileth spread his hands once more.

This time, a large arm made of black flame was created and tried to snatch the ice eagle.

– Wedge juice!

The eagle flew and evaded the arm.

Although the tail part was slightly brushed and broken, it successfully escaped to a high altitude.

and that moment.

– Quaang!

A black explosion erupted from the eagle’s head.

The magician’s exclusive property, a blow that leaped into space was achieved.

The eagle blew white smoke and shattered.

A portion of the smoke seeped into Mtileth and Andrew.

After staring at it for a moment, Mtileth looked at Andrew.

“Andrew. Let’s get out of here for now.”

“Ah, I see.”

* * *

inside the castle.

Leo, who shared the eagle’s vision in his room, clicked his tongue.

‘5th rank black mage. As expected, a guy with one hand appeared.’

The connection with the eagle was lost.

Since it is an eagle that is both a summoned beast and a familiar, its fighting ability is not very good.

On the contrary, it was great to withstand the opponent’s attack even once.

However, this ‘active ice’ had a clear advantage.

Leo shares the consciousness of the summoned beast like normal familiar magic, but there is no particular risk to the magician even when it disappears.

Clearly, Familiar Magic’s upward compatibility!

The downside was that it took a lot of mana, but the first time I used it in practice, it was quite usable.

‘But I need to get another elixir soon.’

Gradually, I feel that it is not enough to last only with the Mannyeon Manasam I ate a few years ago.

Frost Breath is as good as it is powerful, but the cost performance is not good.

As if an expensive sports car ate up a lot of high-end gasoline, the mana consumption was enormous.

If Leo had been a commoner or a lower-ranking noble, he would have struggled even after acquiring this magic.

However, his status is royalty.

Any good elixir can be obtained and consumed.

In this case, you should use your identity or when would you use it!

Leo got up from his seat.

It was time to move.

Having put on street clothes in case of an unexpected situation, I flung myself through the window.

‘If I get caught later, I’ll have to apologize to my father.’

It’s a long night runaway.

In fact, since I got the free pass about two years ago, I should be able to go out at night as long as I report it.

But there was no reason to give it.

– I want to handle this matter quietly without informing anyone as much as possible. Is it possible?

-… yes ma’am

There was a personal request from Queen Elena 1 to keep this a secret.

In fact, if you talk to the king, you can receive an army that can handle only a 5th rank black mage.

But like it or not, Andrew LeGret is her youngest brother.

If you make a mistake, you may misunderstand that her entire family is related to warlocks.

That’s why it was important to handle it without rumors as much as possible.

Because of this, Leo didn’t even talk to Drexla and moved alone.

-Paang!

After compressing mana into the soles of his feet, Leo started running through the streets of the capital at night.

And at some point, a figure wearing a robe appeared next to Leo.

Leo said without looking at him.

“Sir Hanson.”

“Lowering. Seeing that you’re here, it looks like you’re holding the tail.”

“exactly.”

An escort knight for Queen Elena 1, Hanson Vitio.

In order to handle this matter quietly, she assigned her most trusted escort to Leo.

Hanson looked at Leo with a puzzled face.

“Well. but lower. It’s not that I’m ignoring the degradation, but if you tell me the location to prepare for any unknown danger, I’ll go and deal with it by myself… .”

“kyung. You know that’s already been said, right? Wasn’t it?”

“… … .”

When Leo cut off his words, Hanson fell silent.

I tried persuading him before, but it didn’t work.

No matter how much Leo played a big role in the west this time, from Hanson’s point of view, Dede, who was still a child, was the royal family he had to protect.

Of course, I know that Leo is a talented and talented wizard, but I was still very uneasy.

Apparently, it was because he was younger than his own son.

But Leo couldn’t leave the end to Hanson either.

‘There must be something to be gained by dealing with him. I must end it with my own hands.’

And all these are indebted to Queen Elena.

It is a situation that can kill two birds with one stone by accumulating combat experience and helping to raise the level of magic, and even erasing the debt to the first queen.

I absolutely had to move.

“after. Okay. Instead, you must be behind me.”

“I will.”

Leo nodded.

* * *

On the way, Leo informed that the opponent was a 5th class black mage.

-this. Then you can’t miss it even more. I’m sorry, but I’ll go first. Lowering.

-No, just go together… .

-no. At this speed we could miss them, so I’ll go ahead and catch them. Please come with caution. Or you can go back.

-… … .

Hanson said hello and hopped away.

Leo wasn’t too slow, but he decided that he could miss it if he continued on like this, so he left first.

Also, deep down, he had the thought that he would finish everything first before Leo was in danger.

Leaving Leo alone in the middle of the night was a bit embarrassing, but since he was called a genius wizard, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Leo’s expression darkened as he watched him walk away in an instant.

‘ah… , I was going to ask him to carry me because it was getting difficult.’

I didn’t say it first because my pride was hurt, but my breathing is getting quicker.

As the ice eagle died, its traces were buried on them.

He also taught Hanson how to detect it, so he was able to track it alone.

But I guess I just let you know.

I don’t think I would have thought that I would go away if I did this first.

“Damn it. It’s such a pity that Celise isn’t by my side at times like this.”

Leo grumbled and teased his legs, which were getting heavier and heavier.

* * *

Andrew and Mtilet fled, running back and forth through the back alleys of the capital.

“Hoo-wook… Whoop… .”

“Sigh… Sigh… .”

Since his identity was discovered, he had to at least get out of the walls of the capital.

If you got there, you could escape because Mtileth had personally prepared something for you.

However, soon, Mtileth stopped in place.

Andrew asked him with an urgent expression as he calmly controlled his breathing.

“Why are you stopping?”

“It is already too late.”

That was the moment.

“I can’t run away anymore.”

Hanson walked out from the back of the alley.

Not only the mage, Mtilet, but also Andrew, a regular knight, was pursued in earnest by Hanson, but it was impossible to shake off him and run away.

Mtilet also knew that, so he stopped with the intention of killing the pursuer and running away again.

“Come on, Sir Hanson… .”

Andrew’s face turned white.

There was no way he didn’t know him who was his sister’s escort knight.

And since he was caught, he knew that he had already fallen out of favor with his sister.

Hanson said in a reproachful tone.

“Andrew. I don’t know what the hell they were thinking. Unless you’re crazy, to join hands with a warlock… .”

“That, that… .”

At first, Andrew thought he was cheating, but after seeing Hanson’s expression, he realized he was wrong.

His eyes showed a will to see the end here.

Mtilret, who was watching from the side, shrugged.

“Whoops. There are also good warlocks if you look for them, knight. This is so insulting to me… .”

“Shut up!”

– Ugh!

Hanson drew his sword from his waistband.

Reflected by the moonlight, blue rays soar into the air.

The essence of destructive power that can be created by going beyond Sword Expert and reaching the level of Graduate.

Sword steel (劍罡).

Even a mage couldn’t ignore a knight of this level, and Sword Gang could cut through magic.

Mtileth said with a slightly nervous expression.

“Hanson, the escort knight of the first queen. I didn’t expect to fight like this… , It looks like you came alone.”

“I don’t need multiple people to take care of one guy like you.”

“Is it really so?”

Black flames rose from both hands of the grinning Mtileth.

-Roaring!

The sparks that started from his touch embroidered the air and shot at Hanson.

At the same time, Hanson’s sword cut through the air.

The black flames didn’t do any damage to him, only burning the poor ground around him.

Even though he leaped through space and magic bloomed, Hanson didn’t blink an eye.

A knight of that level was able to fully predict where the magic would be manifested based on his senses.

-Puong!

The moment the mana gathered, it was pierced with sword steel and destroyed.

A black flame was about to appear, but it was torn to shreds by the sword steel and disappeared.

That was the moment.

“… … !”

Hanson’s expression hardened.

Mtileth grinned.

“Did you notice?”

“… Did I remove your magic?”

“Whoops. It is not all just because the form is destroyed. That’s a one-dimensional answer.”

Hanson contemplates his body slowly deteriorating.

“… poison? no. It’s a little different. Is it a debuff?”

“As expected, you can recognize it at a glance.”

At Hanson’s murmur, Mtilret applauded as if he was great.

“you’re right. My flames ride the air around me and spread debuffs. Little by little your limbs feel heavy and your breathing quickens.”

“… … .”

“It’s useless even if you destroy magic. It’s an effect from my dark magic itself, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Hanson didn’t answer.

What the guy said was right.

Little by little, but with every breath, my body was getting uncomfortable.

A debuff to the extent that even one’s own resistance, which has reached Graduated, cannot be defended against.

It was very demanding.

– Ugh!

Hanson swung his sword with his blade open.

“… It’s enough if I cut you down before I’m weak.”

“Whoops. Try it if you can.”

Mtilet and Hanson collided, raising black flames again.

* * *

“Hoo-wook… Whoop… .”

Hanson let out a heavy breath.

His armor, which had been shining silver, was scorched here and there, and his skin was also burned in places.

Standing in front of him was Mtilet, who had a rather tired expression, but was relatively intact.

“Khehehehe. Sword Graduate. It’s definitely a great skill. But coming alone is your failure. There are only three graduates I have defeated so far.”

Mtileth laughed bitterly.

It would not be easy for a normal wizard to beat a knight at such a close range, but he was different.

knight hunter.

It was a nickname Mtileth once had.

The dark attribute flames that focus on destructive power make it impossible to block or evade, and the dark magic debuffs rising from the stream of flame eat away opponents like poison.

Hanson tried to approach it somehow, cutting off the raging flames, but failed due to Mtilet’s appropriate response each time.

It was Mtireth who had mastered enough magic to deal with knights even in close combat.

He is also an executive of the Casein Guild and a 5th-class black mage with abundant experience in such battles.

No matter how much he was a graduate, it was impossible to deal with Hanson alone.

“I can’t take any more time. If additional support comes, it will be a headache, so I will finish it soon.”

Mtileth spread his hands wide.

A black fireball, incomparably larger than before, rose above Mtileth’s head.

Hanson’s expression darkened as he looked at the orb, which was more than enough to swallow an adult.

‘That’s… It’s probably impossible to stop without damage.’

Due to the battles and debuffs so far, his physical abilities have become too weak.

Even if he cut it with sword steel, it seemed difficult for him to withstand the second explosion.

One arm at least. In severe cases, it could even result in crippling limbs.

However, it is impossible to give up like this.

Hanson gripped the handle of his sword even tighter.

That was the moment.

[Waving Ice – Bingryong’s Breath]

Suddenly, the surrounding mana began to swirl.

It was such a huge flow of mana that even Mtilet and Hanson were startled.

– Damn it.

After a while. A huge storm of ice that covered the sky above the alley was created, covering the mass of flame floating behind Mtireth.

– Kwaaang!

Along with the explosion, a huge amount of steam was generated, obscuring the view.

From behind the steam that seemed to cover all the surrounding alleys.

– Jerk-jerk-jerk.

“Whoa. So you asked me to go with you. Why are you having a hard time not listening to me?”

“… Lowering.”

Blue mana flowed from his silver eyes, and Leo slowly walked out.
