Chapter 819 – 819. The Mirror’s Self (6)
The task of rescuing the wizards from the ruins of the collapsed mage tower went more smoothly than expected.
The wizards, who were able to use magic thanks to Illyana’s intervention, quickly cleaned up the wreckage using magic.
“Coke! Coke!”
Covered in dust, mages emerged from the rubble and continued to cough.
“Inspiration. Are you okay?”
“Illyana…”
Aden, who had escaped from her wreckage with the help of her blue tower mages, looked at her with her surprised look on her face.
“How are you here… ?”
Her sudden appearance was just bewildering.
Not only Aden, but most of the wizards who escaped from the ruins of the collapsed Mage Tower showed a similar reaction.
“Of course you should come.”
Illyana just answered calmly.
It was the wizards of the green tower who put their heart and soul into the rescue work that solved the puzzles and doubts of the wizards.
“Thanks to Illyana, I can use magic.”
“Oh, well. Right. That’s how it happened.”
And with the magic that I could use, I was able to carry out the rescue operation smoothly.
Aden, who realized the meaning of the words, put on an understanding expression belatedly.
Why were wizards able to use magic again?
If you think about it, it was a simple story.
It is because someone has destroyed the barrier of the seal that covers the entire city.
Aden immediately understood that it was Illyana who had done it.
Of course, her doubts as to why Illyana had appeared here and intervened were also resolved.
She heard about the Mage Tower’s situation from the beginning through the communication artifact that Erinn used, and indirectly participated in the countermeasure meeting.
It was only natural that he moved to save the Magic Tower.
After all, she was a magician who had returned to the Blue Tower.
“But how can there be no casualties…”
Trev, who had escaped from the collapsed mage tower building with Aden, muttered while looking around.
Despite the unprecedented catastrophe since the foundation of the tower collapsed, there were no casualties.
It is an undeniable fact that enormous damage, including financial damage, was suffered, but this situation, in which not a single death occurred among them, could only be described as a miracle.
Although there were some with minor injuries, it was not only Trev who felt a sense of wonder that there were no serious injuries or deaths, and even the wizards in the Blue Tower and the Red Tower looked dumbfounded.
“It is because of this.”
Eleanor pointed her finger at the sky.
Trev and the other wizards in the Mage Tower followed her fingers and looked up at her.
What filled their vision were countless white feathers flying in the air.
“This…”
Trev sensed the existence of a mysterious power dwelling in the feather.
A divine power that restores both internal magic and external damage.
And those feathers were scattered all over the city, saving people.
“It’s a ‘miracle’…”
A wizard felt the greatness of the power and murmured.
It was literally a miracle.
It wasn’t that he, as a mage of the Mage Tower, was unaware of the mysterious effect of the power of faith called divine power.
“This… It’s really possible… ?”
The head of the Red Tower wizards, the Red Elder, looked up at the sky with a blank expression and stared at the countless feathers.
If not just death, this sight that saves thousands and tens of thousands of lives by recovering damage and wounds close to fatal.
If not a miracle, what the hell is it?
For the first time in their lives, wizards were experiencing what is called a ‘miracle of divinity’.
In the meantime, the perception in the minds of the wizards about the power of faith in God, which they felt was inferior to magic, was slowly changing.
He knew that with the magic he had revered so much and had stepped into the highest level, he would never be able to perform this miracle.
The enemy elder personally felt it.
“Inspiration. You have to hurry. I can’t stay in this state for long.”
It was Illyana’s voice that awakened the thoughts of the mages who had been immersed in idly sentimentality.
This miracle now is the miracle of a goddess embodied by the effect of the spirit god created by Eleanor.
However, it could not be maintained for a long time as it had to offer a huge amount of divinity in return.
Now, she is maintaining her spirit by drawing a huge amount of divinity from the tears of the goddess, one of the treasures of the sacred kingdom of Erenia.
Unlike before, where you could only maintain 5-6 minutes at most, even if you could maintain a longer time, even that had a clear limit.
‘Eleanor said the limit was about 30 minutes.’
So, as soon as possible, the wizards had to get their posture in order and the current confusion had to be dealt with.
“… Yes.”
Aden hardened her face and nodded her head.
When she glanced back, she met the eyes of the red elder who had escaped from the ruins of the mage tower with the help of the red tower wizards.
After exchanging glances and communicating something, the two elder mages nodded at her with firm faces.
It was a strange relationship in which one regarded each other as if they were enemies, and the other smiled bitterly and ignored it, but they were the elders who had to take responsibility for the wizards who followed them, and the chiefs responsible for the security of the city.
Unfortunately, understanding coincided.
“Treve.”
“Yes. Elder.”
“Lead the magicians who can move right now and rescue the citizens.”
“All right.”
The wizards of the green tower have already spread throughout the city to fend off invaders and rescue and treat citizens who have suffered damage.
Trev nodded without hesitation at Aden’s command.
“Destroy the enemies who endanger the city!”
“All right.”
And the wizards of the Red Tower also responded energetically, as if they would repay the resentments they had suffered so far.
The magic tower’s counterattack has begun.
“… I am really indebted to you. Not once, not twice… That too…”
At the same time as declaring a return to the Blue Tower, the legendary artifact called the Philosopher’s Stone was produced, a great achievement that raised the status of the Blue Tower, which was lacking, but the current situation is different from that.
Above all, she was able to prevent the worst from happening by intervening, as she was almost devastated.
“No. Inspiration.”
Illyana laughed and shook her head.
Of course it had to be done.
To be honest, even though she was a wizard from the Mage Tower, Illyana didn’t feel much affection for the Mage Tower, and she didn’t even need to help.
However, her loyalty and grace to Aden were another matter.
He was her teacher, parent, and friend who brought her Illyana to the Mage Tower and taught her magic.
She was sincere about helping him.
Of course, she didn’t save the Mage Tower with such loyalty, grace, and affection.
“My husband said so. There is no favor without a price.”
“… ?”
Aden tilted her head, not understanding what Illyana was saying for a moment.
“You know this is all debt, right?”
“… Haha.”
Aden let out a laugh as if it was absurd.
Originally, the Iliana he knew was not such a woman.
She was annoyed by everything and hated to care about or form a relationship of interest with others.
She, who liked to pour all her emotions and efforts into magic, now moves while calculating the gains between her mage tower and herself.
It was very unexpected to see Illyana, who had become very worldly, unlike her past, when she had detached herself.
“You’ve changed a lot.”
“It has changed. My husband is so handsome and so responsible that I have to do this too.”
She was surprised that it was her Eun-hyeon who changed her like that, and she was surprised, but she is confident that in a way she must have been taken for granted.
Perhaps she had guessed the change in her 20 years ago, from the time she followed him to the mage tower, from the time he died and chose her retirement out of a sense of loss.
The current Illyana was not a wizard who was engrossed in exploring magic, but the wife of someone who had a family.
“Have I gotten older?”
Seeing the other side of her disciple, whom she had raised like her daughter, somehow made my heart thump and almost shed tears.
The reason why Aden managed to endure it is that it is now a wartime situation.
“Hmm.”
Before long, Illyana shifted her gaze to her enemy elder, who was walking towards her.
Finally, the enemy elder stood in front of her and looked down at Illyana without saying anything.
“…”
After a few seconds of silence, the Red Elder finally opened his mouth.
“… Thanks.”
His words were so unexpected, thank you.
It was surprising to Illyana that a man who was self-righteous and had no doubt that he was the best in the Mage Tower bowed his head so easily.
Aden, as if she was always impatient with herself, had a surprised look on her face, as if he did not know how to apologize politely, as he often quarreled with her.
“Thank you so much, can you help my husband later?”
“…”
The Red Elder didn’t answer anything, but Illyana and Aden got enough answers with that attitude.
Originally, the nobleman, who should have been furious asking if he dared to wield himself as the head of the Mage Tower at will, was silently listening to her without saying anything, which meant only one thing.
It means that he acknowledged Illyana.
That he was a wizard who had reached a level higher than himself.
That meant that Illyana had already transcended the highest realm of eight-digit magicians.
Even if he was an enemy elder whose pride as a magician pierced the sky.
No, because she is such an excellent wizard, she had no choice but to acknowledge that state.
She didn’t express everything in words, but she understood everything, so Illyana smiled and turned her body away.
“I think that side will be over by now.”
At the entrance, the aftermath of the turmoil caused by the bloody energy of the divine beast and the power of the devil disappeared and became quiet.
Illyana naturally expected Gerard’s victory.
It was difficult for Gerard to defeat Raynan, who received a powerful buff due to Eleanor’s ‘Chief Angel’s Wings’ and at the same time received a debuff penalty, but it was not impossible.
So I expected Gerrard’s victory.
Until I felt a sudden surge of magical power.
Ugh
“… !”
Illyana really felt a chilling sensation for the first time in a while.
All over the city, the mana and souls extracted from the dead that could not be saved before Eleanor’s Spirit was activated and the invaders who were fine were transformed into dark, terrible magic and condensed into one point.
And when she realized that some kind of magic was preparing to be activated at the point where it condensed, she hurriedly tried to stop it.
[Six digit top magic]
[Dispel]
Even though it was a dispel that was activated immediately, it only made unstable the activation of the magic that had already started, but did not nullify the activation itself.
“… Tsk.”
Illyana clicked her tongue and frowned.
Only then did she realize the ‘last move’ of the calamity someone had unleashed on this city.
[Witch Unique Magic]
[Dimension Leap Door]
A door made by ravenously devouring the already dead body of Raynan.
[Kuhk…]
And the demon who opened the door and appeared laughed.
[As much as you… I said I would definitely kill it with my own hands!]
As the demon, full of her elation and rage, was shouting at Gerard, Illyana looked elsewhere.
“…”
Although not here, she was clearly caught in Illyana’s field of vision.
“It is you.”
Whoever planned this raid.
Even though her true identity did not exist, Illyana correctly recognized and recognized her.
Because she was none other than ‘she herself’.
She was, to be exact, she was another she who had crossed over from a parallel world line in another dimension.
[…]
So black witches become dimensional witches, and dimensional witches become black witches.
The two witches recognized each other’s existence.
“I finally met you. A bitch like a stray cat who dares to prey on my husband without even knowing the subject.”
