The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

99 – The Desert Where Lightning Sleeps

Karl von Ajdahaka.

The heir to the kingdom of sorcery, or to put it bluntly, the crown prince.

What was he like before the return?

As far as White knew, his ascension to the throne never happened.

That was partly because the current king was so young, and because the continent had been destroyed before that.

So I didn’t know the detailed information.

There is only one meaningful piece of information that White remembers about the kingdom of magic.

Before the return, they were the country that lasted the longest after the Empire on the continent that was heading toward destruction.

I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but thinking about it now, it felt like a causal match.

For a kingdom with a grandiose name that says it walks the path of magic, how could they last so long as they did not have a single high magician of the 9th class?

Pajik-

“… ….”

While continuing his thoughts, a spark flew in an instant.

And right after.

Tooquaaa!

With an explosion like gunpowder exploding, a flash of light crossed the arena.

It was a speed that could be described as the speed of light, but White was able to break the flash without too much difficulty.

Jeojeok, jeojeok-

Although it is causing cracks, the barrier that successfully blocked the lightning was successfully released, and White began to continue his thoughts again.

‘Karl Von Ajdahaka.’

Inwardly, he murmurs the name of the 7th Circle mage who is currently confronting him.

White was half-sure.

Perhaps it is.

If he was in his early to mid-twenties and reached the 7th circle, it would not have been too much for him to rise to the 9th circle after 10 years.

In the end, there was only one possibility left.

Carl von Ajda Haka, possibly delayed the kingdom’s downfall with all his might since he rose to the ninth circle.

“… ….”

White’s expression changed a little mysteriously.

In fact, I continued to speculate, but it was also meaningless.

‘…… Well, it may be, or it may not be.’

For White, the truth is that he is worth nothing at all.

It doesn’t matter if it fits or not.

I wasn’t really curious in the first place, I just had a few questions when I met an outstanding 7th class right in front of me.

So, no more unnecessary thoughts.

White raised the corner of his mouth roughly.

Then, slowly raise your hand.

I’m tired of playing games with a defensive attitude.

Now it seemed necessary to see the end.

As long as most of the characters have come to know their realities, there will be no reason to hide them any longer.

It is no longer necessary to hide oneself, more precisely one’s true power.

…… Of course, I had no intention of revealing the true state of Circle 8.

‘According to the opponent, appropriately at the level of the 7th circle.’

Ugh-

White began to rotate the ring of mana inscribed in his own heart.

And while doing so, he twisted his mouth fiercely once.

“It was kind of interesting. Carl von Ajdahaka.”

“…… ?”

“Okay then.”

Ignoring the knife, which expressed doubt and raised an eyebrow, White condensed her mana onto the palm of one of her hands.

The compressed mana decreases more and more minutely.

But just because the size decreased, that didn’t mean that the power decreased as well.

Koo-goo-goo-

Slowly, but with clear movements.

As White’s mana fluctuated, the arena began to shake.

“…… What.”

Unsurprisingly, Carl, who was able to recognize the harbinger earlier than anyone else, didn’t look very good.

How could it be otherwise?

…… It wasn’t belittled, nor was it ignored.

However, he still thought of himself as a lower rank than himself.

So he couldn’t help but panic.

…… Right now, the mana that the platinum-haired boy in front of her is revealing, her power.

It was nothing more than a simple condensation of mana, but the oppression that it scattered all over her.

At most, it was a kind of thing that far surpassed the 6th circle.

‘…… The 7th circle, that’s even better than me?’

Karl’s expression hardened.

“…… Under!”

And soon after, he bursts out laughing wildly.

I could have lost my energy at the sight unfolding in front of me, the brilliant blue mana that began to shimmer.

He didn’t.

It would be safe to say that there is no reason for that.

…… If it was a battle against a strong man, a wizard who was superior to himself.

It was something I had hoped for, let alone a boy of the same age.

“…… Good, good.”

Karl let out a chuckle and then lightly clapped his hands a couple of times.

His expression showed a bright color that could not be hidden.

“I was secretly hoping. Maybe there is a possibility that he is a better wizard than me.”

While muttering, the sword also began drawing mana with full force.

A golden haze covered his whole body.

“Even so, I didn’t think that would happen. It is next to impossible for a boy under the age of 20 to make it to the 7th circle.”

“… ….”

“…… But.”

Looking straight at White, who was silent and seemed to be listening.

Carl had a ferocious grin on his face.

“Boy, if you are truly a wizard that surpasses me, I will surpass even that right now.”

Koo-goo-goo-goo!

The stadium shook.

It begins to vibrate violently, as if facing an earthquake.

“──.”

And within that time, it was Carl’s side, not White’s, that made the first move.

His eyes began to take on a golden aura.

“…… Let me show you, boy.”

My unique magic.

…… A world of your own.

“Open, sacred ground of lightning.”

The sword murmured, and the mana slowly moved accordingly.

Energy begins to dwell in the air, on the ground, and furthermore in the space itself.

Koo goong, koo goong…….

Qua gua gua and guac!

Slowly, the lightning begins to strike one by one.

‘This is…….’

And what that movement meant, White knew very well.

Inherent magic, it had the potential to create a truly diverse type of magic.

That does not mean that there was no standardized form.

From noble mtl dot com

The kind of magic that dominates a realm, to be precise, the magic that creates a unique world.

It had some similarities with the world of images, but it was a little different.

‘Seize space.’

To put it bluntly, it was the most classic type of unique magic.

…… However, that doesn’t mean that the difficulty is easy.

It was the same with the changes it would bring.

It was only natural that the power of the same magic would change depending on which wizard used it.

──Fajik.

There was lightning.

Golden lightning flashed fiercely.

And right after that, the space begins to split.

It was good to say that another world is sinking.

Ichae began to settle on White’s pupils.

‘…… It’s beautiful.’

You could say that was a true feeling.

Even if all other factors were put aside, the magic that was unfolding was truly beautiful.

The corners of White’s mouth were slowly pulling up.

And then, eventually.

The knife’s unique magic has finally reached its completion.

Hwaaagh!

『The Desert Where Lightning Sleeps』

A bright light lit up the whole stadium, but immediately after it dispersed.

Since the shape of the stadium was different from the beginning.

“Now, let’s hit it with all our might.”

Pajik, Pajik-

The lightning that dwells in the whole body of the sword is ferociously scattered in all directions.

Golden sparks were engraved in a straight line in her eyes, and lightning formed in the form of flames on her arms and legs.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, it was as if the god of lightning had descended.

A silence fell in the audience.

Astonished, then confused.

Many complex emotions deeply colored the inside of the audience.

In the middle of such an arena, a boy and a young man were just staring straight at each other.

“In this place, even if you are a better wizard than me, I am confident of winning.”

“… ….”

Silent White, but his eyes were always shining.

Looking very interested, White looked around.

And, of course, the place where the eyes were fixed was the place where the knife was located.

As he calmly received those gazes, Carl put a bright smile on his lips.

“Your strength, your magic. Show me, boy.”

It was right after Carl muttered that.

The lightning struck again.

Quarrr!

“…… !”

Not anywhere else, but directly above where White is standing.

White’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern, and soon.

Ahhhhh!

With a roar that tore apart the eardrums, the entire arena was colored with a golden flash.
