Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 79＞

A person’s prejudice is solid.

But when those preconceived notions begin to collapse, they crumble more easily than any belief.

“ha… … ha… … .”

A heart that swells like it’s about to explode.

A breath that has risen to the point of collapsing consciousness.

Lyria couldn’t believe it.

It was just running.

But running like that is hard enough to break the consciousness of a wizard who has been training with sore magic?

There was no greater shock than this to Lilia, who had always ridiculed the training of foolish knights.

I never thought that the pain of the body would eat away at the human spirit so much!

“hahahaha… … .”

It’s as if the lungs are being torn apart.

A fishy taste came up from his esophagus, but when he spit it out, it was not blood.

straight-

Again, Ruin ran ahead.

There was no point in counting how many more laps I was caught up with.

At first, I ran desperately because I didn’t want to catch up.

However, he desperately realized how helpless such a strong will can be weakened by a weak body.

“ah… … .”

Beetle.

Lyria’s legs gave out and she sat down.

As usual, she would have to wake up with her eyes shining like tenacity, but she couldn’t.

Did you say it would be easier to give up?

Such a weak mind was only for a moment, but at that moment, all the strength in the whole body was released.

Daphne and Shuri, who were barely holding on behind Lyria, also sat down.

They, too, were in pain, gasping for breath with pale faces.

“ha… … ha… … me too… no more… … .”

“ah… … I really feel like dying.”

Chiron and Severon, who were running seniors (?), ran several more laps after that.

But it’s the same that they couldn’t run together with Ruin until the end.

Ruin’s run came to an end when the twilight of dawn receded and the red sun rose.

Ruin and his party went straight to the restaurant and ate.

We were able to gather in the laboratory together only after filling our stomachs with more than twice the usual amount.

When the cadets arrived, Ruin was already immersed in imagery in an image pose.

Shiron made a tired face.

“How could that be?”

Even though he could rest for a while, Ruin didn’t even have that little time.

It’s only the first day since I’ve been with Ruin’s daily routine.

Severon let out a long sigh as he vividly pictured the hardships ahead.

“Huh, I don’t know.”

As Severon assumed an image posture, Daphne and Lyria sat down as well.

Shiron also fell into the imagery.

Of course, his image is a replay of the confrontation that took place yesterday.

It was the same for Daphne and Lyria, so they soon woke up and complained.

“No, I really don’t understand.”

Shiron’s face is wrinkling miserably.

Lyria also had a bitter expression.

“No matter how much I try to copy it, this is not common sense.”

Is it different from Daphne?

“Those ignorant movements and artifacts are okay. Like a wizard, let’s just look at magic.”

Daphne could understand everything else.

But thousands of magic blades.

This one thing was impossible even for a dragon.

This was a problem of the limits of the science of magic before weighing the possible and the impossible.

“If you have a certain level of computational power and telekinesis, you can double cast, and if you excel, you can even triple cast. I’ve even seen high-ranking mages using quad casting.”

“Quad? Really?”

To Shiron’s question, Lilia also added a question.

“Theoretically, it’s possible, but I’m sure no wizards have directly implemented it?”

Daphne nodded slowly.

“Azrock. The last time I attended the Magic Society, I clearly saw his quad casting.”

“Azrock?”

“The Wisdom of Alkan!”

The strongest sage possessed by the Arkan Empire.

The greatest wizard of the present era, Ezrak, the ‘Wisdom of Alkan’, was being mentioned in Daphne’s mouth.

Severon murmured as if possessed.

“surely… … If it is him, it might be possible.”

All the cadets looked at each other in awe.

As such, the destructive power of the name Ezrock in the world of magic was enormous.

But the atmosphere quickly turned awkward.

Quad casting called the limit of magic.

But what the cadets saw yesterday… … .

Thousands of magical blades presumed to be in the 3rd rank.

Louin slowly opened his eyes.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

woo woo woo-

Again, Ruin’s gray mana balls floated in the air.

“After establishing a magic circuit through mental imagery and psychokinesis.”

Tsutsutsutsu-

At that moment, the mana balls were splitting into two, four, and eight.

“Individuals can differentiate as much as they like if they utilize the duality and variability of wave particles.”

“what… … ?”

Eight mana balls split into sixteen and thirty-two.

“Wait a minute! No, nonsense!”

Shiron jumped up and was shaking.

He had never heard or seen anything like this.

Daphne is shocked for a moment.

“This can’t be… … Heirodos… … ?”

Now, the mana balls were split into hundreds and were floating around the laboratory.

“okay. This is a variation of the ‘spell transformation’ used by Heirodos, an ancient wizard.”

Originally, a magic that was formed through a complicated spell could never be replaced by another magic.

Can a ‘Fireball’ once cast turn into a ‘Lightning Shock’ in an instant?

The method of substituting magical power, the composition of the formula, and the circuit implementation are completely different, so how is that possible?

So, although magic formula conversion is clearly covered in Heirodosugi’s General Theory of White Magic, it was a magical realm of legend or theory.

“Then, now these innumerable mana balls are the magic that was created with just one casting, that is, they are just differentiated entities?”

Ruin silently nodded at Daphne’s question.

“ah… … .”

The wizard who realized the magic of Heirodos, and even the transformation of the magic formula, was about to be counted on one hand throughout human history.

They have been praised as one of the greatest wizards in history.

In order to come even a little closer to the great footprint they left behind, Mage Towers around the world are still making painstaking efforts.

He was facing the power of such a great and legendary wizard right in front of his eyes.

“Actually, the word “transformation” has a meaning. You picked the wrong word. In practice, it is more like wave transduction.”

“Wave, wave?”

“If you look at the approximation method that determines the conversion of the magic formula, there is always a magic wave at the center. The wave’s specific constants, stochastic nature, excess distortion, external force trajectory, etc. are all directly or indirectly intertwined with the magic wave. So, if you understand mana waves more deeply—”

At that moment, the mana balls, which had been differentiated into hundreds, gathered into one point in an instant and began to burn.

sigh-

Then it turns into an ice spear.

Tsutsutsutsutsutsu-

and even with a thunderstorm.

support support position-

When it turned into flames again, Ruin’s mouth opened again.

“These things are possible.”

Shiron, who had been frozen in a daze for a while, protested with an unfair expression.

“You, you’re doing this!”

Ruin was saying something simple.

However, the aspect of the legendary wizard named Heirodos was too complicated and metaphysical at the level of cadets.

“Then, is this the ‘fire in the manger’ that you have only heard about?”

Lyria was staring at Ruin’s fireball with strange eyes.

Heirodos’ representative magic manger fire.

However, it was very different from what the magic books described.

“Why are there no colors?”

It’s clearly burning.

Openness is clearly felt.

However, it did not have the color that a flame should have.

If the heat was this strong, it would have to be terribly blue, or at least contain red energy.

However, Ruin’s magic was colorless to all other magic except for the gray color of the mana ball.

“I don’t know either.”

Luin’s words were not a lie.

He assumed that the fusion magic with black magic was the reason, but Ruin couldn’t be sure.

“There is something I don’t understand.”

Louin looks at Daphne.

“say.”

“There is one thing that doesn’t make sense if those thousands of magic blades weren’t individually cast magic, but mere differentiation.”

Louin smiled faintly.

“Are you talking about power?”

“yes.”

If one 3rd tier magic blade had multiplied into thousands, the power of each had to drop significantly.

However, Ruin’s magical blade mercilessly broke the 5th tier barrier magic, the protective wall of grief. It makes no sense in theory.

“It would be right to just show this in person later.”

“Later?”

“I don’t have a liquid meter.”

Daphne’s face lit up at Louin’s words.

“I am a standing wizard.”

Geeeing-

When Daphne performed the spell, her subspace materialized once more.

A small box that came out of subspace.

Soon after, she pressed a certain button, and a strangely colored orb popped out of the box.

It was a magic tool to measure mana, a liquid meter.

“Would you like to use the fire in the manger now?”

“Does not matter.”

Let Daphne measure the fire in the trough with the crystal ball of the liquor meter.

In an instant, the gauge at the center of the box soared like crazy.

“Thirty thousand… … ?”

“What, what?”

“crazy!”

All the cadets had their mouths wide open.

From nob le mt l. co m

For the first time, Lyria saw the liquid gauge actually soar by ten thousand units.

At this level, it is a level that exceeds the level of a high-ranking wizard.

Daphne washes her eyes and looks closely at the manger fire again.

The result of the magic formula that can be felt is clearly the third tier.

However, the gauge pointed to was 30,000.

Her common sense could not comprehend this mad estrangement.

“Uh, how is this possible?”

Ruin’s Mana Hall completed with Aether, the core of the Demon God.

Up until now, Ruin’s fusion magic was radiating almost the same power as, or perhaps even greater than, the Demon Realm’s true magic.

“If you ask me to interpret the magic I have, what kind of magician can do it? Can you explain the magic you possess?”

“Ah, no, but this is too… … .”

After all, is it a dragon?

While Daphne was biting her lips, she heard Lyria’s cold voice.

“… … you.”

Lilia’s eyes were colder than usual.

“Your magic, your magical power… … Never show it to anyone again.”

Ruin fully knew what Lyria was worried about, but still wanted to ask.

“Why?”

“You, no matter who sees it, are abnormal. I’ve never heard of a wizard like you at my age.”

“so?”

Lyria’s eyes darkened.

“Human Resources? genius? It’s not on that level. I’ll try to study you at the Mage’s Tower. There’s no way the magicians at the Mage Tower would overlook such a rare case.”

Because she lived as a member of the Abrel family, Lilia knew better than anyone else how persistent the sorcerers’ desire to explore new things was.

It was so obvious that the Mage Tower, facing Ruin’s true face, made a mistake.

“Besides, the nobles are also a problem. If a mere rank cadet possesses this much power, it is impossible to predict its future. They will be frantic to take possession of each other.”

“… … .”

“It is the logic of the nobility to destroy it if it cannot be occupied. No matter what happens to you-“

“stop. done.”

Suddenly, Ruin was smiling brightly.

He tousled Lyria’s hair.

“Okay. Lyria.”
