Chapter 70 – 070. High Digit Wizard (1)
“How the hell did I get here… ?”
Lyra muttered with an expression of incomprehension.
“This is a ‘dream world’ that only us succubus can open! A place that doesn’t even exist in reality! I didn’t even invite them, so how the hell can humans break into this place!”
A world that does not exist in reality.
It is a second-dimensional world that can dazzle people, make them dream of near-eternity, and imprison their mental bodies.
Previously, while Eun-hyeon explained to Eleanor about the Great Labyrinth of Arcis, the dungeon and this world are independent dimensions, so the law that mutual interference is impossible is between the ‘Forest of Dreams’, a world only for dreamers, and the real ‘Arkena Continent’. It was a rule that also applied.
Since only the mental body can enter, there are no coordinates in reality, and only the succubus has the authority to open the passage.
However, Illyana ignored the law and used her own method to intrude into the ‘Forest of Dreams’, an independent world that cannot be interfered with.
“The passage has already been opened once.”
“What?”
Illyana continued her words indifferently, pointing her finger at Alex and Erin.
“The passage has opened as their minds have already crossed over here, so there’s no reason I can’t use that passage. Opening and closing the door may be within your demons’ authority, but there is already an open door, and even a human can enter through it.”
In other words, Illyana traced the path that Alex and Erin’s souls crossed over to this place, and she found the passage that connects reality and the forest of dreams, and she pushed her mental body into that passage without hesitation.
She talks like it’s nothing in words, but
“That is… Is it possible?”
“I came because it was possible.”
Illyana, who answered Alex’s question indifferently, looked at Lyra, who had the same astonished expression as Alex, and said,
“Do you think I’ve dealt with you demons once or twice? Even 20 years ago, I experienced this ‘Forest of Dreams’ right away. Shouldn’t I have made a countermeasure?”
After her explanation, Illyana activates her magic again.
[Six digit upper magic]
[Prominence]
Once again, a giant sphere of prominence, manifested through her spell, began to sway above Illyana’s head.
The mere existence of the prominence heats the air around it and starts burning the trees in the forest, like a small sun.
The prominence, which gradually got smaller in size, was only getting smaller, but Lira knew that she was going through the process of gathering and compressing her original power into one place and compressing it again and again.
“Huh, heh! It’s no use! That magic has already been blocked by my shadow! Do you think that magic that has already been blocked once will work as if it increases its power?!”
“I’m trembling too much for that.”
Illyana simply saw through Lyra’s condition that she was bluffing.
“Fire-type magic. People think there is only an attack that burns everything and destroys it.”
She chuckles and begins to aim her target, pointing her staff at Lira.
“Hold on in that tent for a while. Then. I’ll give you some steam.”
An orb of prominence, compressed to the size of her palm, flew at Lyra.
Aww!
Sensing a crisis, Lira’s shield of shadow and Illyana’s sphere of prominence collided head-on, creating an explosion.
The sphere was smaller than the one Illyana initially shot from within the passage of the rift, but it was creating more damage as the compressed power exploded.
Illyana was able to stop the heat wave spreading around her by coming straight to Alex and Erin and hitting the barrier, but Lira, who was at the center of the explosion, was completely different.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Although the shadows were barely blocking the heat waves of enormous power generated by the explosion, the high temperature that rapidly rose around them threatened Lira’s body and caused various abnormal conditions.
‘It’s hot. Hot. Thirsty I think I’m getting fat. It hurts. My eyes are about to burst.’
It feels like being thrown alive into a huge steamer or into the sun.
Sensing her danger and completely protecting herself in the heat wave, hitting the shadow barrier in all directions became the root of the problem.
Even the moisture in the air evaporates, and all that remains is the heat that heats up the surroundings.
“Turn it off!”
Feeling the pain as if even her vocal chords were burning, Lira began to let out a grotesque scream.
The sphere of Illyana that collided with the shadow still continued to emit a blast of heat, wiping out the entire ‘Forest of Dreams’ around her.
As time passes, the temperature continues to rise, and the heatwaves that heat up Lira’s shadow curtain continue to attack the curtain without knowing how to fade.
When the hell will this attack go away?
Long.
One second felt like a very long time.
Eventually, after more than 10 seconds passed, the sphere of prominence gradually began to fade.
The forest where Illyana’s magic was used was a disaster itself.
“Oh my god…”
Erin murmurs blankly as she sees the charred forest with only ashes remaining.
As if there had never been a dense forest in the first place, only a few pitch-black trees were barely recognizable.
‘This is the power of a high-ranking magician who only has 10 people on the continent…’
It seemed like he could understand why the people of Pernias’ kingdom were using her spirit to somehow win her over to her kingdom.
A single use of magic by a single person turns a huge forest into ashes.
Isn’t this the ‘One Man Army’?
The expression of Illyana, who actually made this forest like this, was tired but not visible.
“If you taught someone like this… What is Hyun? ?”
What is she doing
Erin, in that moment, realized again how great of a person she had been educating herself.
“Shut up…”
In the center of the intense heat wave, the curtain of shadow was lifted and Lira appeared with a strange moan.
Her white skin, which had been bewitching and alluring, had turned bright red at some point, and her wildly distorted expression and voice that cracked as if there was something wrong with her vocal cords clearly proved that she had suffered considerable damage.
“Interesting. That shadow. Did you say black magic?”
Despite her perfect defense of her magic, she stuck her tongue out that only the aftermath of her magic’s aftermath created her so close to dying He was interested in her shadow magic, which completely blocked his own magic.
“If you use that black magic, you will assimilate into the aggression of the shadow, and as the shadow eats away at the owner, the black magician, the opposite sex will also become ferocious.
“Dare… Dare I… !”
Lyra gritted her teeth and glared at Illyana, who was slowly analyzing her cracked vocal cords.
“You, did you attribute something other than ‘aggression’ to her own shadow?”
“I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive!”
“For example, should I say ‘defense’? Aha, that’s why my magic was automatically blocked.”
Not listening to her words, she glared at Illyana, who only caused her terrible pain, and muttered.
At first, Lira did not recognize the attack that she threw by forcibly creating a ball of red flame from her rift passageway.
But her shadow of her lyre protected her against her will, from her Illyana’s magic.
Illyana recognized that characteristic.
She heard from Eun-hyeon about her black magic, the characteristic of ‘engraving’, which is to put her thoughts into her own shadow so that her shadow has her will.
Elvin uses it to endow her own shadow with aggressive thoughts such as ‘kill, stab, cut, crush’ so that she can subdue or kill her opponent, and she can be seen using all her shadows on the attack side. Seemed
But the case of Lyra is different.
Her own shadow, endowed with the quality of ‘to protect, to save’, had a defensive character that protected her exclusively her own master, her lyre.
The shadow, which has no aggressive traits, neither encroaches nor eats away at her master’s body to claim her body.
She only shows a blind look to protect her master.
“You improved Alvin’s magic. So that you can use it without being penalized.”
“My brother’s magic…”
“I will never kill lightly. I’ll brainwash you, turn you into a plaything for men, and make you my slave who exploits my spirit!”
“What are you talking about, you crazy bitch? I already have a body.”
Dark red magical powers begin to cover Lira’s body, and her reddish skin and traces of burns begin to disappear.
Alex’s expression hardened abruptly as he watched the damage she had suffered from Illyana slowly recover and she returned to her true form.
“Wounds again…”
“Kyahaha! Are you surprised? I told you! This is the space of our dreamers! Besides, in this world where only minds exist, there is no way physical attacks will work! Even if it works, it’s enough to restore it like this! You can never beat me!”
“Huh…”
Illyana tilted her head slightly and stared at her lyre.
“Whoops! How is it?! Maybe things have changed now? It is impossible to interfere with this world itself even with your proud magic!”
In reality, the combat power of succubi specializing in mind manipulation and brainwashing is insignificant.
However, in this place where succubuses are the masters, in the ‘Forest of Dreams’, the power that succubuses with mental manipulation abilities can perform is like reality manipulation.
“But even that has its limits.”
No matter how close to dying, it is impossible to restore the body to its original state indefinitely.
Because it is common sense that exists at the basis of all laws.
Limitations exist everywhere.
“Whether it will be sooner that the limits of your ability are revealed, or sooner my magic power will be exhausted. Shall we make a bet?”
“Nice…”
I didn’t like the look on her face with a smile and a confident demeanor.
Lyra couldn’t hide her resentment that her bravado hadn’t worked.
In fact, as she said, it was possible for Lyra to return her body to the best condition through her dream manipulation, but since it is an ability that is manifested by consuming a large amount of her mana, her number of times is limited. There weren’t many.
It was still not enough for her to deal with the witch who showed no sign of exhaustion even after using the huge heat wave magic that drove her to death.
‘Dangerous. This is really dangerous!’
The witch in front of me is on a different level.
If she really wanted to do that, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to burn herself to death over and over again.
Fear settled in Lira’s eyes, who had already tasted the high-level fire magic of a high-digit magician once.
She can never win
Before the humiliation of being defeated by humans, the thought that filled her head was the alarm bell that her survival instinct called, “I have to live.”
So, as her instincts dictated, Lyra had to put her own thoughts into her actions in order to live her own life.
“Where are you going?”
A huge magical barrier began to surround the surroundings, and a cube-shaped barrier was created to block the space between inside and outside.
Its scope covers the entire dream world that Lyra created.
Her last attempt to escape the world of dreams by locking them in here was blocked.
“Oh, this can’t be…”
In the end, Lira is shocked at the situation in which her choice of escape is also blocked.
The fact that it was not a succubus who forcibly blocked the entrance to the Forest of Dreams, but a human wizard made Lira very upset.
“You invited them here and then you jump out? It’s rude as an inviter.”
Humans trapped in the ‘Forest of Dreams’ cannot escape from this dream world on their own.
Because of this, unless Lira, who brought Alex and Erin here, sends them back to their original world, they will be forever trapped in a dream, and their bodies in reality will fall into an eternal sleep that never wakes up.
Lyra aimed at this and dragged them to the world of dreams, but Illyana made that plan impossible.
“Where, I wonder how long that black magic will last?”
Widely!
After lightly hitting the staff once towards the floor, a magic circle that had been spinning around Illyana gradually began to expand and rose towards the sky.
“Ooh, the meteorite…”
As dozens of small meteorites appeared in the magic circle that covered the ceiling of the cube-shaped barrier, Erin looked at the shooting stars that appeared in the sky and murmured in a daze.
“If you can block this, then your brother has created some really great magic, apart from being a warlock. As much as that, I will pay my respects as a wizard.”
“Ah…”
At the words of the high-ranking wizard, who did not discriminate against being a warlock and paid homage to the magical achievements of a man named Alvin, Erin felt a warm feeling fill her body.
Illyana glanced at Erin and said so, hitting the tip of the staff on the floor once again.
[Six digit top magic]
[Meteor Strike]
“No, no, no!”
Seeing dozens of meteorites falling towards her, Lyra’s screams begin to resonate throughout the Dream Forest, which has now become a wasteland due to Illyana’s summoning magic.
