chapter 200
After hearing the news of the alien invasion from Heaven, Leo returned to the castle.
Originally, I was working hard, but I had a reason to work even harder.
“It’s time for Marquis Merverde to develop on her own, and my older sister and older brother still need some more time… .”
Suddenly, Logan, the Dark Tower Lord of the Medith School, came to mind.
He was also a 6th class mage, so he must have been eager to cross the wall.
“I don’t know if being busy has gotten better now.”
Although they communicated often, he was still busy building a mage tower in the Duchy of Ryant.
It is not an easy task to bring out the black magicians who have gone into the shadows and build a formal mage tower.
There were a lot of regulations and perceptions had to be changed, and the management and supervision of the black magicians had to be thorough.
Leo sent a message to Logan after a long time.
It also took a long time to get a response.
-… Lowering. long time no see.
“Logan. how… . How are you?”
– It’s on the verge of death from overwork. It’s hard to say that it’s okay even with empty words. I’ve only slept about an hour for the past three days.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Just the voice over the communication port could tell how exhausted he was.
– Heh heh. It’s good though. It’s a chance to restore my honor, but I can’t complain about barely sleeping.
Logan was a child of an aristocratic family when he was young.
Although the family collapsed and the kingdom collapsed, he fell into the path of a warlock, but he did not do anything dishonorable.
He didn’t become vicious like other black magicians, and he didn’t go beyond the limits of human experimentation.
Because Leo also knew his personality, he was able to get close to him, and eventually gained the qualification to build a mage tower in the Duchy of Ryant.
‘I’d better tell Logan later.’
In the middle of our conversation, Leo came to that conclusion.
What is important to him now is not to raise his level.
Establishing the Mage Tower and reestablishing the honor of the family and oneself.
It seemed more important to do the dream that I had in my heart since I was a child.
So Leo smiled and said.
“yes. I’m glad you’re doing well. look good. Call me if you need my help later.”
– I don’t know how to repay the kindness I’ve received so far. I will live my life repaying the things I have received from you.
“What are you even replying to?”
The two ended their communication while having a warm conversation.
* * *
There is a saying that the faster you go, the faster you go.
Leo’s body was hot every day, but he calmly meditated.
He took care of Kizan and Elise’s training, and occasionally sparred with Marquis Merverd.
“I definitely realized it today.”
“What?”
The inside of the gymnasium looks as if a typhoon has passed.
It was broken and scratched by the storm, and there was frost all over the place.
“The magic freeze of the deterioration is too fraudulent.”
In the middle of it, Marquis Merverde shook his head.
“It feels like fighting with both hands tied.”
The magic freeze learned from Karst the Great can now unfold like breathing.
For the same mages, it is a disaster-like ability.
Even though Marquis Merverde has now risen to the 7th rank, he has not been able to completely defend against this magic freeze.
It was difficult to move the mana in the body at will, and even if it did, it took time.
The casting was delayed, and the reaction speed did not come out as I had planned.
It feels like his fighting power has dropped a few steps.
At least it was about the same level as Leo, but mages below the 6th rank would not be able to cast at all.
“There are differences between the knights, but they will be similar.”
They wouldn’t be able to show off their boasts of swordsmanship or swordsmanship properly in front of Leo.
“You have become the strongest on the continent in name and reality. Congratulations, low.”
So concluded the Marquis Merverd.
Of course, Leo couldn’t accept it easily.
he smiled bitterly.
“The continent’s strongest. Too much exaggeration. Not quite that yet.”
‘At least a transcendent should be able to talk like that.’
Besides, he doesn’t even know how many Transcendentalists belong to Heaven and Earth.
I’ve only met 3 people. There were only Nell, Karst the Great, and Gerang.
In a situation where you don’t know how long there are monsters, it’s still a long way to discuss the strongest even if you become a transcendent.
“But what, could it be like that someday?”
“Of course it is.”
There was a fact that both Leo and the Marquis of Merverde were convinced of.
If not now, then one day he will rise to the top.
* * *
A few more months passed.
Leo felt half-given.
Rather, I focused on spending each day to the fullest.
Training is a matter of course, and I spent my spare time meeting my family and acquaintances, so I would not regret it later.
Through Vivian, she often visited the Empire.
Including the emperor, magicians who respect him, Countess Ermeri, etc. There were also a lot of people to meet there.
In addition, Bahelm and Vivian also conducted a lot of joint research together to guide them to become transcendental beings.
“… I can’t believe it.”
Prince Bahelm muttered.
In front of him was Leo with silver hair and silver eyes, and Vivian with light blue hair and eyes.
“What else?”
said Vivian, pouting.
Since the two spent a long time studying magic together, they became true friends beyond the differences of race.
That’s why my words and actions have become much more comfortable.
“Vivian. you and me too It took decades to get to where it is today. But to think that Leo, who hasn’t even lived half of us, has arrived here.”
Bahelm may look young on the outside, but that’s because he has risen to the 7th rank.
In fact, he was older than Duke Verdict.
As he reached the end of his mortal life, all he could do was maintain his youth and longevity with an optimized body and enormous magical power.
Vivian is also a fairy queen and can easily live to be hundreds of years old.
However, Leo was already standing shoulder to shoulder with them even though he was not yet 20 years old.
For this reason, Prince Bahelm felt something new these days.
‘Envy, jealousy. I can feel the emotions that I used to receive from others. This is so amazing.’
It was Prince Bahelm who always looked down on others.
from when I was young until now. There was no one with a talent close to him, and he had a reputation as the best mage on the continent.
But in front of Leo, they all faded.
Best mage in history.
Until now, I thought it was the heroes of 300 years ago or the beings before that, but it’s not.
The main character was this kid in front of me who hadn’t even reached adulthood yet.
“It could be. How long did you think only you would thrive?”
“It is not. I thought that one day, a junior who was greater than me might appear.”
Prince Bahelm replied to Vivian’s words.
Of course, I didn’t expect that junior to follow so overwhelmingly and quickly.
“A good one. Thanks to you, we are also growing.”
“I admit that.”
It was also thanks to Leo that he met Vivian.
The two, who deal with similar lines at the same level, were growing together by creating synergy with each other.
Moreover, Leo suddenly developed them based on what he had been learning lately.
To add a little exaggeration, it seems that the last few months have been more effective than when I practiced alone for the past few decades.
“Both of you, stop talking and focus. We are not that relaxed.”
“greatness. i get it.”
“… I was just taking your word for it.”
Leo cautioned the two chattering people.
After talking to each other, they clung to magic research with Leo again.
Leo’s goal was simple.
They should reach the end of the 7th class and feel the wall as mortals.
At that time, Leo’s realization can help him overcome the wall.
‘I think you guys are blessed.’
In the end, most of them couldn’t cross that wall, so they went crazy and became the rulers of the west.
How lucky I am to have had that kind of luck in return for getting along well with people.
Leo felt himself great again.
Vivian looked at it and said softly.
“What is that expression? I’m about to lose my luck, so can you keep a poker face?”
“… … .”
Leo’s arrogant expression returned to normal.
* * *
It was in the middle of being busy wandering around the kingdom and empire.
-Lowering!
An urgent voice came through the communication port.
It was from Gawain, who was running the information guild.
“what’s the matter?”
Leo tilted his head.
Wouldn’t there be something to contact like this urgently?
Recently, the continent has been peaceful.
There’s no way there’s going to be a conflict with a few of the Abyss’ grand dukes.
They rooted out all the troublemakers in the human formation.
First of all, the head of the Guild Casein and the main officers, who were the biggest evils, were eliminated, and Countess Ermeri took control of the guild secondly and was in the process of cleaning up the small things.
If a little more time passes in the future, the continent will face the cleanest and most peaceful era in history.
-I got a call from Sonia.
“!!”
Unknowingly, Leo jumped up in front of the communication port.
“no way… ?”
-Yes. It is said that the ‘it’ you have been waiting for has been completed.
“Look at Sonia and tell her to enter the castle. I will come to you right away.”
-all right!
Leo roughly cut off the communication and rushed out.
“Vivian! Vivian! Where are you! I’m in a hurry!”
A bullet taxi was needed.
* * *
Elixir.
Unlike recovery potions that simply have the same name, the legendary elixir has tremendous efficacy.
It is basic to get rid of all diseases and wounds, and even restored the incurable punishment.
A person who had just died could have been saved.
It even has no side effects at all.
When Leo possessed this body, he even thought of an elixir as a solution.
Because it was one of the best ways to get rid of the <Heaven-sent Talent> trait that would die at the age of 20.
And… .
“You mean this is an elixir?”
“Yeah… . Lowering.”
Sonia answered Leo’s question.
“But what about your face? A little… Does it look bad?”
“ha ha ha… .”
Sonia answered with a pale face full of dark circles.
“I’ve had very little sleep so far because I wanted to finish this quickly.”
“yes? how much?”
“well. Did you sleep for 4 hours?”
“Four hours? If it’s 4 hours a day, it’s not like you can’t sleep that much, right?”
Leo also slept like that when he was in the middle of reading books and practicing.
Even the lack of stamina made it worthwhile.
‘Is Sonia’s physical strength that bad?’
“About 4 hours a week, hehehe.”
“… … .”
Leo shut up.
Could it be that you have been running for more than a few months with such a forced march?
Thinking that way, I could understand that dying face.
“I’ll vacate the next room for now, so take a nap there.”
“Thank you… .”
Sonia didn’t even have the manners to refuse, so she moved with a limping step.
After she left, Leo focused on the elixir again.
In the transparent potion bottle, a red liquid thick enough to mesmerize people flowed.
When I opened the lid with a pop, a captivating fragrance flowed out.
‘finally… .’
Leo swallowed his saliva.
From the point of being possessed, for several years, the physical problems and lifespan problems that had been holding him back.
That was before it was resolved.
-gulp.
Leo drank the elixir.
