    Chapter 189

    Episode 189

    Sanin and Leon looked at each other as Marisa shouted sharply.

    “You are the Archduke, so you should stay still.”

    “…what?”

    “We know very well how crazy the Archduke is… no, how crazy he is.”

    What an absurd story.

    Leon shook his head.

    “Honestly, we are also worried. We wonder what kind of crazy person would dare to challenge something like that alone.”

    “…But why?”

    “This isn’t the first time the Archduke has taken on a crazy challenge.”

    “…….”

    “So, just wait. This time, I’m sure you’ll do something crazy again.”

    Marisa looked at the two with her mouth wide open.

    ‘Everything is strange.’

    Even Merlin, the aide who was following behind, didn’t show any sign of worry from the beginning.

    Eyes filled with absolute trust in Christian.

    ‘… That Jin can’t be destroyed simply because he’s a talented genius! He has to have perfect knowledge of the formations to be able to do that.’

    Marisa bit her lip.

    She vowed that if time passed and there was no news, she would go in to help even if others tried to stop her.

    * * *

    Of course, Marisa’s worries were completely unfounded.

    Chris entered the room and looked around.

    My vision was not clear because of all the devices and tricks that confused my senses.

    A confused dream where one is not sure of the four cardinal directions, not to mention up and down, or even the left and right of one’s own body.

    It was indeed a sensory disturbance befitting the level of ‘extreme’, but Chris was cynical.

    ‘It’s just this low-level formation.’

    Amazing idea.

    As Marisa had raised her voice, this gin was absolutely not something to be ignored.

    The confusion of senses that I feel now is only the beginning, but it was a truth that would lead me to wander in an endless maze where I couldn’t see even an inch ahead and end up dying from poisoning.

    ‘This is a direct copy of the formation of the Galos School of the Heavenly Tower. How can someone without originality be a master of formations? Of course, considering the level of the formations of the Extreme Poison Maga.’

    Yes, that’s right.

    Although the poisonous Maga was skilled in using the formation, it was only a means to administer poison efficiently, and he was not very skilled in the formation itself.

    ‘The best sorcerer of the Magical Alliance is the Magical Master of the Welcome Magarang Alliance. And he even has the Sky Magic Tower.’

    Compared to those three, the level of the poisonous Maga was far lower.

    ‘And I was a person who ignored even those three formations.’

    That’s not to say Chris was a lawman.

    In order to properly unfold the formation, one must first reach a high level of magic or holy spirit.

    Chris was, strictly speaking, a ‘mathematician’.

    Even though he couldn’t directly deploy a formation, he had top-level knowledge of formations.

    ‘Because knowledge of the system was often needed for one reason or another.’

    There was a time when he was known as the ‘Explorer of Light’ and was renowned as a treasure hunter.

    Even when joining the warrior’s party and acting as a ‘guide’.

    Knowledge of the system was essential.

    In particular, he had personally experienced all sorts of great formations during the Age of Destruction, and his formation knowledge was in no way inferior to that of the greatest formation experts, such as Hwan-Hwan Maga, the sorcerer Mingga, and Cheon-Gong Mtap.

    ‘Of course, it wouldn’t be easy for me to destroy the formations of the best masters of the Welcome Maga and the Heavenly Magic Tower, but this is cute.’

    Of course, that doesn’t mean we should completely ignore the truth of the extremely poisonous Maga.

    Even though the skill of the formation itself is somewhat lacking, the true weapon of the poisonous Maga is ‘poison’.

    From the beginning, the purpose of the operation of the extremely poisonous Maga was different from that of other places.

    To create an opening and poison the opponent.

    If you take even one wrong step, you will become addicted and die a horrible death.

    ‘If you analyze the formation perfectly, you won’t be poisoned.’

    Chris narrowed his eyes.

    First of all, it is important to establish basic defense.

    The confusion of senses was still there, but it was okay.

    I recognized the disorganized feeling as a new standard and calculated backwards based on that to determine direction.

    ‘The essence of the Gallo School’s formation is to make you wander endlessly through a labyrinth with no escape.’

    The characteristic of this method was that it did not have a ‘life gate’, which should have been there.

    All kinds of death gates appear one after another.

    ‘There is only one solution: find the core and destroy it.’

    Of course, finding the nuke was not an easy task.

    It could be said to be the life of the formation.

    The level of the formation is determined by how thoroughly this nuke is hidden.

    ‘There are even fake nukes, so if you choose the wrong one, you could be counterattacked and die.’

    The nucleus was tightly hidden, appropriate for the level of this Jindo ‘jeoljin’.

    ‘There is a way to find it. If you combine the arrangement order of the Death Gates, the traces of the formation’s changes, and the four directions, you can estimate the approximate location. After that, you can interpret the formation’s formula to find the gap and confirm the coordinates. There will definitely be a small gap.’

    This wasn’t a special method that was possible because it was Chris.

    A traditional method used by experts in formations to interpret formations.

    The only difference is that other experts have to work together to complete this process over a long period of time.

    But in Chris’s case.

    ‘Is that it?’

    There was no need for that.

    ‘Bingo. Found it.’

    Chris clicked his tongue.

    ‘Why is the security of the formation so lax? What’s so great about a formation of this level? It can’t even be compared to the Welcome Maga, the Sorcery Masters, or the Heavenly Magic Tower.’

    This was a rather unfair assessment of the extremely poisonous Maga.

    Although it was inferior to the best formations according to Chris’s opinion, this was a ‘poison formation’.

    As I said before, it took time to analyze the formation.

    But Dokjin doesn’t give him that luxury.

    The scary thing about Dokjin is that even if you waste a little time, you will become addicted to the poison, so even if there is a weak point, it cannot be exploited, but Chris found the weak point too quickly, so there was no chance for the poison to take effect.

    No, the loophole itself was Chris’s, so it was easy to find.

    ‘By the way, if we break this formation, the poisonous demons will immediately find out.’

    Chris crossed his arms.

    A good idea soon occurred to me.

    ‘Shall we play a joke?’

    * * *

    Meanwhile, inside the castle, engulfed in poison.

    The lord, Viscount Balmont, sat in his chair with his face sunken low.

    ‘I can’t believe they’re launching a surprise attack like this. Those Dark Magic bastards.’

    I was completely stabbed in the back.

    ‘But it’s okay. There is a poison left by Lord Groven in this castle. If we just hold out for a few days, reinforcements from the main house will arrive.’

    Instead, I laughed.

    ‘You said that the one leading the army was Archduke Christian? What a fool. How dare he do such a foolish thing against our poisonous Maga.’

    He even committed an even more absurd suicide.

    “Archduke Christian entered Dokjin alone?”

    “Yes, Baron. It’s been about three hours now.”

    “Idiot. They say ignorance is bliss. But there is a limit to ignorance. They say he was a genius, but he was just a retard who couldn’t even figure out his place.”

    The Count of Balmont twitched the corners of his mouth.

    “After three hours, he’ll probably be a corpse. Go and get him. I wonder how the Dark Magicians will react if I cut off his head and stick it on the spear of the wall.”

    “all right.”

    It was the moment when Suha lowered his head and was about to leave the room.

    Phew. Phew!

    Suddenly blood spurted out.

    “?!”

    As the lord sat up in surprise, a figure appeared before his eyes.

    A handsome face that is unlucky.

    It was Christian.

    “Huh, how could you?!”

    “How did you get through the poisonous forest?”

    “What the hell is this?! Dokjin is still alive and well!!”

    There are two main ways to pass the test.

    Opening the door.

    Or, take down the nuke.

    However, the poisonous den of this Balmont territory had no living beings, so the only way to escape was to destroy the core and collapse the den.

    ‘Dokjin is still fine. But how did he get through?’

    Chris said calmly.

    “Ah, if the core collapses, the signal will be sent directly to the main house of the extremely poisonous Maga, so I used a slightly cumbersome method. I changed the formation and changed one of the death gates into the life gate.”

    Count Balmont made a face of absurdity.

    What kind of nonsense is this guy talking about now?

    “You’re saying you’re touching a faction that already works? And you’re changing a four-letter word to a living one? That’s impossible unless you change the very foundation of the faction. What nonsense are you talking about?!”

    “That’s why I said it was a hassle. Even though I’m a genius, it took me almost 3 hours. It was difficult in its own way.”

    * * *

    Chris rubbed his shoulder as if he was really tired.

    “But is this the time to chat leisurely?”

    Chris said coolly.

    “I came here to kill you?”

    “!!”

    Count Balmont took a step back without realizing it.

    In fact, his and Chris’s levels as mine were similar. However, he was unknowingly overwhelmed by the momentum.

    ‘Look, report…!!’

    An idea suddenly occurred to Count Balmont.

    If he dies like this, his family will not know that the territory has fallen.

    Because Dokjin is still alive and well.

    The response will be delayed.

    It was the moment when I was desperately trying to reach for the emergency communication port that I had hidden in a corner.

    “You have a certain sense of loyalty. You prioritize reporting.”

    “!!”

    A chill ran down the back of the Count Balmont’s spine.

    Christian’s voice was heard right next to me.

    Closing the distance in the blink of an eye.

    “profit…!!”

    Hwaaaaak!!

    Poison rose from the hands of the Count Balmont.

    It was a state of poison comparable to that of a river, ‘Jingang Poison’.

    The poison of the Balmont Count is a corrosive poison.

    Even if you just brush against it, it will cause fatal damage because the will to ‘melt’ is there.

    “The level of poison isn’t bad, but I think you underestimated me. If you wanted to live, you should have used all your strength the moment you saw me.”

    With a low voice.

    Chris’s spirit flashed.

    Equipped with a perfect bowl.

    Also, an absolute force that contains the will for perfect destruction.

    “!!”

    For a moment, Count Balmont’s vision seemed to darken.

    He was overwhelmed by the black smoke flying towards him, and his vision became paralyzed for a moment.

    It’s not just the eyes.

    As if time had stopped, my other senses were frozen as well.

    A dizzying sensation as if you were caught in the gaze of a giant.

    ‘Wh, what the hell… Kang-gi has this much power?’

    Pfft!

    Heukganggi literally trampled Jinjiang Poison.

    After that, the trajectory of destruction continued without any hesitation.

    Crunch.

    A long line was drawn on the body of the Count Balmont.

    “…W, that’s ridiculous….”

    That was the last one.

    Count Balmont fell backwards with a thud.

    Afterwards, Chris grabbed the emergency communication port that Count Balmont had been reaching for.

    ‘As expected of an emergency communication port, security is strong.’

    In addition to simple technical security, it is designed to only work if the owner’s magic is recognized, like a fingerprint.

    ‘But it’s not like there’s no way.’

    Chris approached the Viscount Balmont, who was lying on the floor.

    Count Balmont was completely out of breath, and the magic within his core was scattered into thin air.

    Normally, it would have been a magic that would have quickly returned to nothingness, but Chris used the nature of dark magic to gather the magic into his hand and reacted to the emergency communication port.

    The security spell was disarmed, and Chris sent a single phrase to the poisonous Maga family.

    – Repel the enemy.
