Chapter 9 The Ascended Baruchum

Baruchum is the god warrior of Shurima. As early as a thousand years ago, when the fortune of the Shurima nation was rising like a rising sun, far from reaching its peak, he was already serving the empire.

He fell asleep listening to the legends of those god warriors since he was a child, dreaming that he could become one of them in the future.

After all, the Celestial Warrior was a mortal just like him in the beginning.

The legendary stories about those god warriors before and after their ascension, the power of Shurima made him firmly believe that the sun is omnipotent and the god warriors are invincible.

As soon as he learned to read, Baruch became curious about magic. He was eager to know how this power works, and what is its essence?
Since then, he has tried to read all the books in the house that record magical knowledge.At the age of five, with his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts, he released the first magic in his life, while most other children with certain talents could do this when they were more than ten years old.

With his own efforts and the help of his family, Barklum entered the Sun Academy in the imperial capital for elites to study.The young Baruchum showed an unprecedented talent for magic. He understood the principles of magic that his classmates couldn't figure out even after racking their brains, and he could even ask questions to the teacher by analogy.

It's not that there are no classmates trying to chase him, but it won't take long before he leaves them so far away that they can't even see his back.

The academy saw his potential and specially invited the best magicians to train him alone.

His body is to magic what a silver thread is to an electric current, and every strand of magic element longs to flow through him, which makes casting spells as easy as drinking water... Under the guidance of a good teacher and his own efforts, Barkrum The magical power of the gods has grown by leaps and bounds.

He will always be No.1 in the magic competition among students of the same grade, and his level of magic theory is so advanced that the senior mages in the school dare not debate with him... Before graduation, he had developed several new magic tricks. Magic - this is something that only experienced great magicians can do.

Soon, Barklum rose to fame.His powerful magic power and profound knowledge have convinced countless people. Everyone knows that a genius has emerged from the empire, and he has become a well-known rising star in Shurima.

At the graduation ceremony, the young Baruchum stood proudly on the stage and spoke as a graduate representative. He said: "The sun is omnipotent. This belief will push me, us, and the empire forward."

He entered the magic research institute of the empire, where he presided over the development of the magic observatory, slide rule, and new alchemy equipment.

Not only that, but he also developed an interest in divination and prophecy. He believed that this kind of spell could completely replace carrier pigeons and fast horses, so that the empire's orders could be quickly conveyed to the jurisdiction, so that the empire could also give orders to remote jurisdictions— —Shurima reacted so quickly this time thanks to his research results.

He summed up a more systematic magic theory and disclosed it to the whole empire...

In recognition of his contribution, the god warriors of the Ascension Group received him, saying that he could ask them for advice at any time, and the emperor ordered a magic school to be renamed the Barcrew Academy of Magic.

Later, the empire launched a war of conquest against Icacia, and he enlisted in the army as a member of the mage group and set out with the army.

Though not directly involved in combat, Baruchum proved his worth in battle, with his divination spells accurately predicting the movements of the Icathian legions.

Nasus formulated tactics based on this, and Renekton personally led the army to attack. This battle defeated Icacia's most elite army in one fell swoop. Renekton won the Crescent Moon Axe in this battle...

In the battle against the mage king, the magic shield he provided for the god warrior blocked the mage king's attack... The mage king fell at the feet of the god warrior.Icathia was defeated and became a vassal state of Shurima

Due to his great contribution to the empire, he was qualified to ascend the Golden Steps and receive the Ascension Ceremony after this battle.

Baruchum will always remember that day, when the Sun Queen Setaka came to the scene in person, Grand Maester Nasus presided over the ascension ceremony for him, and the most elite soldiers of the Shurima Golden Legion formed a long line on the road leading to the sun disc. There was a long queue waiting for his arrival; when he walked towards the steps, the voices of tens of thousands of onlookers broke through the sky.

The Ascendants of the Empire solemnly watched their new comrades ascend the golden steps.Baruchum praised the omnipotence of the sun aloud, and then the sun disk channeled the power of the stars into his body, carving his mortal flesh into an ascended body.

When the light from the altar dissipated, he had the body of a sika deer symbolizing magic and mystery.

He stepped down from the altar, and the legion leader Aatrox personally welcomed him to join the Ascension Corps, and the Celestial Warriors greeted their new comrades warmly.

With the power of ascension, his magic is powerful enough to wipe a town off the map.However, his greatest hobby is studying magic in the laboratory. Ascension gave him a long lifespan, allowing him to spend endless time on magic research.

He deeply understands that the victory of a battle cannot make the empire last forever, but knowledge is the foundation of Shurima's prosperity.In the ensuing years, magic technology was continuously born from his laboratory, leading one magic revolution after another... Among them was a three-masted warship-like floating chariot, equipped with magic power to shoot lightning fireballs artillery.

The Shurima Empire has a fleet of air battleships.

Later, because he participated in the battle against Icacia, he knew the local area very well.He was sent to the south to guard the territory of Icacia.

The Empire hoped that his arrival would resonate with the Magic Kingdom, in part to neutralize Icathia's hostility towards Shurima.

Baruchum knew that he had no ability to govern, so he ruled by doing nothing, hoping that time would eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the Icathians—maybe it was just that he was too busy studying magic to care about other things.

But he was so absorbed in his never-ending meditation and research that he failed to notice the growing hatred in the hearts of the Icathians.

Finally, hundreds of years had passed before he noticed the unusual behavior of the Icathians, and at the same time, he noticed something underground.

Hundreds of years of existence as an ascendant made him lose the caution he had as a mortal, and his self-confidence turned into arrogance. Baruchum confidently arranged the magic circle and used powerful observation magic to observe the one-eyed underground.

Is there anything in this world that can hurt the Ascended?
It is an existence completely incomprehensible to reason—when you try to understand it with reason, your reason will be crushed by the horrifying stare in an instant, leaving only the most primitive and oldest emotion—fear.

At the moment of observation, the gaze from the indescribable thing under the abyss destroyed his mind and disintegrated his spirit; his thinking was like a silk thread, which was quickly pulled away by the yarn wheel...

When he woke up in the laboratory, purple spots appeared on his body, half of his power was consumed by the abyss, his spirit was crushed head-on, and it was difficult for him to even guide higher-level magic... Before he figured out what happened to him What, the servant told him in horror a rebellion had broken out.

He held back the emptiness, distorted, reported the situation to the imperial capital, and then went to suppress the rebellion in person. He firmly believed that as the incarnation of the sun, he was omnipotent, and even if his strength was damaged, the Icacias could not resist him.

The reality gave him a big mouth that he loves to eat.
