Chapter 163

All human beings have magical powers, but only those who are born and work hard can emit and condense them.

Magic power itself symbolizes the existence of life, and it can be used as a powerful force if you draw out the root.

In other words, according to the absolute principle, each living being could only be given one magic power, but unlike him, Harnette was using two magic powers.

‘It’s nonsense. That it’s possible… … .’

Walter quickly regains his sanity and gradually increases the amount of magic power.

I was surprised for a moment because it was a strange phenomenon, but it soon changed to enthusiasm for exploration.

If Harnette figured out how to use her two magical powers, she could apply them in many ways.

‘If only we could make it come true… I can climb higher.’

Of course, like Walter, he had to be a wizard with more than one attribute.

If you use two magical powers, you can implement different properties for each magical power.

If he went further and increased that number, he would be able to use all attribute magic at the same time.

‘It’s unfortunate. Doesn’t Harnette Adelaide deal with only one attribute?’

Even if you use two magic powers, you can’t do anything with just one attribute.

He would have to use only magic with the same attributes as always.

Of course, I wondered if it would be a little useful if the amount of mana was amplified.

‘Even though it’s a talent that came from one person, how can it be so different?’

Harnette had excellent qualities as a mage.

If you prove your skills and put forward the achievements you have made so far, you will be able to get the title of Archmage.

In addition, if the power struggle between the royal family and the aristocracy is alleviated, wouldn’t it be possible to reach Setinos Quasar?

Nevertheless, he could not utilize the talents of the two magical powers.

‘It’s something you don’t know. Can’t be perfect… … .’

Since Walter was a wizard, that fact had to touch his heart deeply.

If the two magic powers are innate talents, you may not be able to acquire them yourself.

In other words, it would be a talent that only Hannett could have, but it would remain meaningless to the person concerned.

‘Perfect? Then why is it imperfect now?’

Walter has a moment of doubt and examines Harnette’s flame carefully.

I recognized that Hannett’s talent was inevitably imperfect, but I felt a strange sense of alienation from that fact.

What process did you go through and why did you come to that conclusion?

‘It may not be imperfect.’

The premise was wrong.

I only thought about how to use the two magic powers effectively, but I didn’t look back at why the two magic powers had to exist.

Of course, you won’t be able to find out exactly why the talent is manifested, but you can infer the basis of the talent.

‘One mana can only be handled by one person. If you have two magical powers… … .’

Starting from the basic principle, the answer came out surprisingly easily.

Magical power comes from the existence of living beings, and if there is one, it also comes from one.

In other words, since two magic powers appeared, they must have been born from two living beings.

‘Hanet Adelaira has two lives?’

Walter ponders and meets Hannette’s gaze.

Had I had a baby in my belly, I would have recognized it sooner.

If he had learned the wrong magic, his mana would have been corrupted.

However, there was no problem in handling magic, and magic did not deviate from its unique form.

‘I don’t know which one… I couldn’t have realized it.’

If Harnette had known about two magical powers or two lives, she would have told me in advance.

However, Hannett visited the society because he wanted to become stronger, and now he was implementing magic by squeezing mana.

It was probably unconsciously releasing two magical powers.

‘Maybe he’s trying to get away from property magic.’

His judgment was not necessarily correct.

It was a distinction between the two magic powers within the standard range, but I couldn’t foresee the potential.

The moment its true value was shown, it could have shattered the concept of magic.

‘Even I couldn’t get away from attribute magic… ‘

Walter feels a sense of crisis, but is possessed by intense curiosity.

What awaits after attribute magic?

If Harnette realizes that state, will other wizards be able to follow suit?

At least, can’t we get a glimpse of the principle by ourselves?

‘Can I attain enlightenment before I die?’

From the time magic was invented until now, no one has been able to break away from attribute magic.

Despite being called the highest authority on attribute magic, he couldn’t see beyond that.

That’s why I was trying to get hope for him from Hanette.

‘If I use more mana, the training room can’t stand it.’

Walter adjusted his mana and began to cover only the outer part of the flame.

If I tried to suppress it further, it would only cause a reaction.

Even if the spark leaked out, it would erase it to some extent, but it could have swept the training room in a matter of seconds.

“… Well sir. You can reap your magic now.”

“Ah yes. Sigh… … .”

Harnette sweats and loses her mana belatedly.

I was out of breath spontaneously, and a slight heat was rising from my whole body.

At first, he carefully created the flames, but after seeing Walter’s freezing magic, he realized that he shouldn’t hesitate.

So, as I said before, I poured all my strength, but even that was easily blocked.

‘This is the Cetinos Quasar… … .’

Standing on the same battlefield as the White Apostle, I wondered if I was being pretentious.

We just fought together as allies, and we always ran around the rear.

However, it was mistaken that it was in a similar position to the Cetinos quasar.

‘Isn’t Shion going to be this much?’

After overcoming death, Shion finished off all enemies in one blow.

The Narak King attacked and was destroyed with a single counterattack, and the Great Sea King was completely oxidized after being hit by sword energy.

If the attack had hit the Demon God properly, wouldn’t he have been annihilated on the spot?

‘I have to catch up with Zion before I can do anything.’

Shion was worried about getting hurt or dying.

That’s why he gave up his life and collapsed in vain.

Although he managed to come back to life, the fact that he had committed such an act remains as a memory.

In order not to create the same memories, he would have to become stronger.

‘Can’t I summon a demonic sword?’

Brecht, the demonic sword of flame, is clearly buried somewhere inside his body.

But I couldn’t communicate, and I couldn’t even feel its presence.

Why is Brecht lending his power in this way?

‘I need a demonic sword so I can… … .’

– come out… If you want to meet… … .

An unfamiliar voice passed by my ears.

Harnette flinched and looked around hastily.

However, the voice was no longer heard, and only faint sensations wrapped around her body.

“Why is that? What do you have?”

“Yes? Oh, no. I must have misunderstood for a moment.”

Harnette blurted out and wiped away the sweat.

I never heard anything wrong.

Apparently, someone was talking to him, and at the same time he felt mana vibrating.

There was only one existence that could come out of this situation right now.

‘… Brecht.’

Harnette was convinced when she heard the voice.

I haven’t finished communicating with the demonic sword yet, and Brecht has an ego.

I wondered if she probably belonged to the same category as Lecia, who was the self of Acid Rain.

‘It’s too late.’

His voice cut off midway, but it was worth it just to reach him.

As time goes by, wouldn’t it be possible to face Brecht someday?

‘I know how to talk, but why… … .’

“Miss Harnet, how much do you know about yourself?”

“Me? That… well.”

“Sorry, I have nothing to teach Miss Harnet. This must be realized by Miss Harnette herself.”

“What do you mean? I still have a lot to learn.”

“Miss Harnett is using two spells right now. You cannot become stronger if you do not know why. Since this is a special case, there is no way I can help you.”

“… … ?”

Harnette ponders the words, surrounded by suspicion.

Until now, while implementing magic, he had never used two mana.

He only used his own magical power, and had no contact with other magical powers.

However, since it was the words of the blue sage, I wondered if I should believe it for now.

‘I can’t believe Brecht… … .’

Hannett looked back on his magic power and stretched out his hands.

A voice had been heard before, and the blue sage said that he used two magical powers.

Could it be that Brecht caused these phenomena by secretly moving?

‘What are you trying to do?’

Harnette tried to have a sense of anticipation even as she drowned in faint fear.

The fact that Brecht appeared also meant that he could grasp it.

‘… Should I wait longer? I’ll make arrangements too.’

Harnette gently clenched her fist and put it down.

There is no telling when Brecht will appear.

However, I did show a reaction, and I wonder if that time is coming even now.

‘If you come, I will be stronger. Is that right?’

* * *

The capital of the kingdom of Alain, Labirdion’s forge.

Usually, when building a trade name, the owner’s first name or surname is added.

This also meant that you should clearly remember the name of your own store and when purchasing goods.

Of course, a similar method is used when dealing with luxury or high-end products, but at that time, the last name is always included.

It was to convey the meaning that the family had inherited the store from generation to generation, and that the technology and lineage had been fully preserved.

“Sigh… Is it really necessary to do this?”

“Well… That way I can be satisfied.”

“Do you really think this is right?”

“I’m sure. If you don’t make excuses like this, I won’t be able to give you the armor.”

Hannette showed a displeased look in her eyes and responded instead.

But Shion only responded with a smile even in those eyes.

“… You’re the only one giving me armor as a birthday present.”

“I still have to give it to you. If your armor is strong, you won’t get hurt.”

Harnette tries to argue further, but reluctantly swallows silence.

Both himself and Shion had plenty of money, so any gift would be acceptable.

Of course, expressing sincerity and sincerity is a separate issue, so in some ways, wouldn’t it be a wise choice?

“Ah, then I should buy some armor too. Can’t your fiancé get hurt?”

“Isn’t it my birthday?”

“I don’t know about that, just take it.”

“… okay.”

Shion smiled and calmly accepted it.

This forge requires a reservation, so even if you place a production order now, it will take quite a bit of time.

Of course, if I added the name of the Duke of Adelaira or the fiancée of Setinos Quasar, I wondered if that time could be advanced.

“Other than that… I have nothing to live for.”

“Are you using good weapons?”

“right.”

“The armor is nice, but… I’ll buy it for you, so you don’t need it.”

“That too.”

“I can’t go buy someone else’s.”

“Because you have to write according to your body type.”

“… Wouldn’t it be better to just buy a holy relic and give it to me?”

“Well… isn’t that bad? It has meaning.”

“You really want to buy it?”

“I think you can give it to the knights. The Sillaz Knights… A bit vague.”

“Cardinal Selena would be dumbfounded… … .”

Hanette immediately turned her head after feeling the energy of the magic sword.

Shion moves almost simultaneously and narrows his eyes.

I saw someone who shouldn’t be here.

‘King? That man… A silver phantom thief?’

‘Why is the king here?’
