chapter 20
Hatched Brain Sinus
The battle with Arya Rothbane started with a brief break to recover her magical power.
“After the countdown of 10 seconds, the match starts!”
10! 9! 8! 7·········!
With the crowd counting down, Leon played a fireball as in the match against Eren.
The only difference from that time was the number of fireballs.
At the time, I was satisfied with two fireballs to see how Eren came out, but I instinctively had an intuition that the duel with Arya wouldn’t be that easy.
On the other hand, Arya did not deploy magic even though she was given 10 seconds.
It just concentrates the mind and resonates with the magic.
That alone caused the ambient temperature to drop sharply, and the condensed water vapor settled down as a white mist.
3, 2, 1…!
“The battle begins!”
At the end of the countdown and at the same time as the referee signaled, Leon fired three fireballs.
Kwawawaang!
A huge explosion happens.
It was an explosive force that even Eren’s Ice Shelter would not have been able to withstand.
However, Arya was soon revealed from the place where the explosion had cleared, and she was in good shape with no scars.
The principle of ice magic is simple.
Inplaton expands the space itself, lowering the air pressure.
Normally, the lowest atmospheric pressure we know is 0 atm, or vacuum.
There can be no barometric pressure lower than a vacuum in which no matter is present.
But what if you could create negative barometric pressure?
Inplaton is the opposite concept of graviton that mediates gravity.
In other words, if an anti-gravity equal to the gravity that generates atmospheric pressure is generated, it is 0 atmospheric pressure, and if a stronger anti-gravity is generated than that, it becomes negative atmospheric pressure.
In the resulting negative air pressure, all matter moves away and the temperature drops.
This is the so-called thermal death phenomenon.
The theory that if the dark energy existing in our universe is greater than the cosmic constant, which is the energy density of a vacuum, the universe becomes an open universe, and eventually all matter continues to lower toward absolute zero, causing a thermodynamic end state, a big freeze.
Arya’s magic resonance had this principle.
All the heat energy emitted by the fireball’s explosion is canceled out by the thermal death phenomenon.
This is the true power of magic resonance.
However, Leon immediately ran towards Arya.
There were still 4 fireballs floating around Leon.
Although the three fireballs counteracted Arya’s magical resonance, it won’t completely negate the explosive power exploding right in front of her.
But Arya didn’t seem to have any intention of allowing Leon’s approach.
Arya showed her first movement only then.
“Frozen vanity at the end of loss. Allow me to cry.”
wave your hand
Beautiful snowflakes bloom along those fingertips.
“Snow Blade.”
The snowflake gradually increased in size and sharpened as it flew toward the trajectory of Arya’s hand gesture.
And by the time they finally reached Leon, each of those countless snowflakes turned into deadly shurikens and flew in.
Leon had no choice but to release the fireball he had been saving.
There were too many blades of snowflakes that Arya scatters to avoid one by one.
Kwagwagwang!
However, even after breaking all the blades with the fireball, the blades of the snowflakes continued to fly.
A fairy was dancing over the blade.
Her gestures had a bloody intention to wield a blade, but her figure, spinning around in a circle, was as beautiful as dancing.
“Linforce!”
Leon strengthened the air and opened the shield.
A number of blades of snowflakes were eaten by the wall of liquid air, as if submerged in water, and stopped in mid-air, but Arya didn’t care.
The blades of snowflakes that continued to dance and pour down eventually frozen and shattered even the walls of the air.
Wave window!
Leon confirmed it and threw himself to avoid the blades of the snowflakes.
The unavoidable attacks had no choice but to be skipped off with the stone skin that had been deployed for a while.
It was a choice I had been avoiding so far.
blatantly.
As expected, the arm that blocked the blade of the snowflake froze and cracked.
The skin, which had become hard like a stone, had cracked due to the sudden change in temperature.
Blood gushed out between the cracks.
There’s no way this could happen with ordinary magic.
However, Arya’s magic was by no means ordinary.
magic resonance.
The blade of the snowflake, the symbol of genius, was added with inplaton that causes heat death, and it was transferred to Leon’s arm and began to take his body temperature directly.
A stone skin with increased hardness condensed due to a drop in temperature and cracked.
Soon even the blood that had flowed into the crack froze, but that was by no means a good sign.
If your body temperature continues to drop like this, you will eventually lose consciousness due to hypothermia and lose the mental power to perform magic.
‘Hit Up!’
As an opponent, Leon developed a magic resonance magic hit-up.
Nvidia, number 10, jumped up and shouted.
“Stand, maybe that’s…!”
And that reaction was the same for the old wizard who was watching from the water tower side.
“Magic resonance!”
Magical resonance is a symbol of genius.
It is an honor that such a genius was born in an aristocratic family.
Nevertheless, the existence of Leon was completely hidden, so the surprise would be great.
Leon checked his body.
The body temperature, which had dropped thanks to the hit-up, was restored to a normal level.
However, the frozen blood also melted and the bleeding continued.
Using Linforce could stop the bleeding, but the consumption of mental and magical power was fatal.
Still, there is a lack of power.
Even though Leon was the world’s highest level 1st circle, the fact that he was still 1st circle did not change, while Aria was also 3rd circle, but she possessed a vast amount of magical power worthy of the title of genius.
Although there was no answer in sight, Leon could not give up.
It accelerates the circle by avoiding the blades of snowflakes that continuously fly by with dynamic movements.
It was still impossible to dodge all attacks.
The blade of a snowflake barely slipped past his arms and legs, injuring him, and large and small wounds began to pile up on Leon’s whole body.
but ignore it
Evasion of the attack brought back memories of the old battlefield and left it to instinct, and Leon’s mind was completely focused on the control of magical powers.
Woong-woong-woong–!
The magical power that accelerated rotation within the circle reacted violently by itself and scattered light.
The spectators roared at the sight of the light wheel floating above Leon’s head.
“What the hell is that look…?”
“It’s like a wingless Elyos!”
Rio induced the magic of Circle with his fingertips as it was.
The magic that unfolds is the most powerful magic that Leon can use at her current level.
“Halo Impact!”
The light wheel focused on the fingertips converges to a single point, causing a huge explosion and smashing towards Arya.
Kwakwaqua—Ah!
A dazzling flash of light shattered the blades of the snowflakes as they were.
If Arya’s magic resonance is an anomaly caused by negative atmospheric pressure due to anti-gravity, Leon’s Halo Impact was a destructive power that destroys the structure of matter itself with a powerful gravitational wave.
However, Leon’s magic did not hit Arya.
The moment Leon deployed his magic, Arya, who sensed the crisis, immediately released the magical power it had raised.
That didn’t stop Leon’s Halo Impact.
However, since the expansion force of Inplaton does not push it with a physical force like an explosive force, but expands it in a four-dimensional direction, space-time, it deflects the trajectory of Halo Impact and misses its target.
“Then, even if you bend the orbit, please approach it so close that it cannot be avoided.”
It was then that Arya’s face also had an expression.
It was only half a year ago that Arya reached the state she is today.
However, since Arya became able to freely manipulate magic resonance, Leon was the first to reach beyond the realm formed by her magic resonance.
Everything she wants is gone.
The precious bunny doll, the cute puppy that my mother left me, the friend I can share my heart with, and the nanny who followed me like a mother all died and disappeared because of Arya.
Then, in the realization that she did not want anything more, Arya was able to attain the current state.
‘Do not come. Don’t come!’
Her magical resonance, Big Freeze, is a snowy field of ten thousand years that pushes and rejects everything.
No one could survive the cold and reach her alive.
However, Leon did not stop walking toward such Aria.
Halo Impact was definitely a powerful magic, but it was also a magic that consumed that much magic.
If he used such magic while approaching her, he would not have the energy to fight anymore due to the depletion of his magical powers.
Instead of him, Leon raised the magic resonance of the hit-up to the limit, destroyed the molecular structure of the atmosphere, and laid a rail of lightning.
“Electric Shock!”
The magic that quickly unfolded was a one-circle thunderbolt, but the speed was not to be underestimated.
However, the lightning bolts that shot out at a speed of 100,000 kilometers per second refracted around Aria and deflected them all as if they were avoiding her on their own.
Arya’s reaction to that dizzying sight also changed.
If Leon was approached more than this, even Arya would not have the confidence to avoid Leon’s magic.
“Frozen vanity at the end of loss. allow me to cry Frost Blossom!”
There was frost on the ground.
Soon after, the frost bloomed like a flower garden on a spring day and soared up to form windows of large and small ice.
Leon jumped up quickly at the sudden attack, but a spear of ice that rose from the floor pierced his side.
It soon melted away in the magical resonance of the hit-up, but Leon’s whole body had already been engulfed in blood by Arya’s magic.
However, Leon barely regained control of his dizzying mind and continued to move forward and unfold his magic.
“Electric Shock!”
Breakup——!
At last, the lightning bolts from Leon flashed past Arya’s cheeks.
Finally, even with Big Freeze’s magical resonance, the distance was narrowed enough to not refract Leon’s magic sufficiently.
“now stop······.”
“What?”
“You should have stopped now……!”
Leon looked at Arya’s expression.
Her face could no longer contain the heart that was in her heart.
“You can’t beat me. So, stop giving up.”
Seeing that expression, Leon burst into laughter as he staggered with his exhausted body.
Leon knew it too.
How the hell did Arya feel when she got her current ability?
Because Leon was once like Arya.
So I could say
“Because I am greedy.”
“···what?”
“I always want to enjoy more. The breakfast that my mother makes is delicious, but I want to provide more delicious food and I want to see more. I want to enjoy more freedom and be happier. I am standing in front of you right now for him.”
“What is that…….”
“You don’t?”
At Leon’s question, Arya raised her eyes as if stabbed in the right direction.
Everything she wants is gone.
That is why Arya pushed everything away and spread the snowy field of ten years that no one could approach her.
But at the same time, he was hoping that someone would jump over this 10,000-year-old snowfield and come to him.
The magical resonance that Leon created for such Arya felt warm and friendly.
She didn’t even understand why she felt that way.
Perhaps it was not known that the mental wave contained in Leon’s magic resonance had an interaction in the process of colliding with the mental wave in Arya’s magic resonance.
There was an emotional sympathy about how Leon created the hit-up magic.
The feeling was so warm that Arya even wanted to get closer to him.
However, it was painful to see Leon, who had been torn apart in the process.
I didn’t want to bother him anymore.
‘Am I being greedy?’
Arya thought about Leon’s question.
You shouldn’t want it in the first place.
All that Arya wished for would disappear, so it was clear that if she wanted Leon, Leon would also disappear in front of her.
So Arya shook her hand.
She rejected Leon with the greatest expression of expression she could.
Leon said as he backed away from the ice spears that were raised by the gesture.
“Just because you reject everything doesn’t mean that the pain-stained past will disappear.”
Leon remembered the first time he had met Arya a few days ago.
That expression of liberation as if he had no interest in everything even after his wallet was stolen.
Leon felt despair in that expression.Read at NovelNext.com
Just like Wonhyung Lee, who was struggling with a feeling of helplessness from the past when he couldn’t do anything.
I lost my mother, was abandoned by my family, and eventually died with my back on the world.
But even in the midst of all that, he could not give up on magic in the end.
Thinking about it now, magic must have been the only link between the world and Leon’s life.
Leon was able to be here now because he held onto it tightly without giving up.
“So I don’t give up.”
distance goes away
The distance with Arya, which had barely been narrowed, was getting farther away as he was getting wrecked.
But Leon’s heart was more at ease than ever.
And instinctively realized.
it is now
Now was the moment.
Leon mobilized all his mental power to rotate the circle.
Due to the long battle, Circle’s magic power was almost gone, but now Leon’s mind was clearer than ever.
Magical power that rotates beyond the limit causes the fusion phenomenon.
Leon poured his magical energy into the expanded space as the space was folded like that.
Then, the circle filled up, absorbing all the surrounding magic power as if it had a will of its own, and soon the overflowing magic power formed a new circle.
Quantum Magic 2nd Circle.
Leon, who has reached that new level, develops magic.
“Hatching encephalopathy.”
Curry!
Lightning surged from Leon’s whole body.
Hatchling Noedong (附和雷同).
That doesn’t mean it’s very good.
It was a lion idiom that meant following the opinions of others without one’s own will, just like the sound of thunder follows when lightning strikes.
But the name of this magic was quite fitting.
The moment Leon’s body was wrapped in lightning, magic flew at a speed that Leon couldn’t react.
Leon did not even have time to confirm the identity of the magic, but
Quarreung!
Leon’s body moved out of his will and unconsciously intercepted the magic.
