chapter 472
473 – Complete Transcendence
Ellie’s eyes narrowed to the point where she looked like she was squinting at the sight of another Ross calling himself the King of Wizards. Ross, who noticed this, firmly raised his index finger as if to stop anyone from doubting him.
[Maelstrom―――]
“… ?”
Magical energy condensed above the index finger and a small sphere appeared. The pure white sphere rotated little by little, changing its presence, twisting and distorting the space around it, and sucking it into itself as if tearing it apart.
As the space disappears, what is visible is pitch black darkness. The darkness was cutting off everything. The laws of the world, even the storm of probability and causality.
In Ellie’s eyes, it all seemed like a magical phenomenon. A magic that is incomprehensible to one’s common sense and can destroy the world by creating a crack in space and ignoring physical laws.
Although she wanted to deny it, Ellie had a pure heart when it came to magic. If this kind of magic appears in front of you, you can only stare blankly, not even knowing that your mouth is open.
“ah… !”
That sphere, smaller than a fist, has the power to destroy a world. Ellie couldn’t help but hold her breath at the sight of Ross easily creating such a dangerous thing without any preparation.
Even for my future self who became an archmage, it was a skill that was close to impossible. It is not a [power] borrowed from the power of a god or a special ability. It was created using only magical knowledge.
A true wizard who has surpassed the limitations of being a wizard and has reached complete transcendence.
There was no wizard who would not call him the King of Wizards.
“So, are your doubts resolved?”
The sight of Ross smiling slyly felt uncomfortable, but Ellie acknowledged it with a sigh.
“of course… If you show me something like that, how can you be suspicious? “I’m not that stupid.”
It was an artificial phenomenon created by the harmony of hundreds of cells smaller than a hair inside that sphere. At this level, he would be able to overwhelm Ellie simply with the power of the spell.
When Ross closed his fingers, the sphere that had been spinning with fierce force disappeared as if it were a lie. Ellie almost fainted when she saw that. The sphere that had the power to destroy the world disappeared with just a fold of one’s fingers.
I thought they would get rid of the sphere by using magic or other special devices to gradually reduce the power of the magic and disable the spell, but it ended with just lifting a finger… Ellie felt like everything she knew about magic was being denied.
Seeing Ellie like that, Ross smiled brightly.
“Why are you so surprised? “This was all thanks to your help.”
“… “In another world?”
“Yes, in my world you were my teacher. Well, later on, I was so good that I became a teacher.”
“Have you ever had a bad relationship with me? “I keep getting the urge to swing the cane.”
“… He was a great best friend. “No matter how angry we are, we don’t use magic on each other.”
Ellie, who was quick to notice Ross slightly averting his gaze while saying that, thought that Ellie in another world would never have resisted the urge. Ellie, who was still glaring at her Ross, opened her mouth as something occurred to her as she turned her gaze to her wrist again.
“Do you have a bracelet with green runes on your wrist?”
Ross, who was looking at his wrist, sparkled his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
“How do you know that? This is magic based on [power] that is completely different from the magic of our world. “Do you in this world know anything about the administrator’s magic?”
Ellie answered quickly as she could clearly see the interest rising in her eyes.
“No, that’s not it. I just saw it in the memories that Ross gave me while riding on my back. It was the administrator’s special magic that helped us travel to other worlds. “Magic that can avoid the world’s negativity.”
For a moment, magic flashed in Ross’ eyes. Ross, who was quietly lost in thought, smiled and waved his arms.
[Image World―――]
As soon as Ross finished speaking, the space where Ellie was standing changed in an instant. It felt like I was entering someone’s room. The feeling of life was the same, and there were things like unorganized socks and trash on the floor.
“This is… .”
“I thought the story would be long. “It’s better to have a comfortable conversation if possible.”
The world of imagery… It was Nelson’s unique magic that allowed him to build a small fantasy world using his own imagery, like a snow globe. Ross must have noticed that Ellie’s eyes were shaking, and he shrugged her shoulders and explained as if it was no big deal.
“I told you. You were the teacher. Especially since you were a person who had no regrets when it came to magic. No, it was a situation that could not be saved. “Because they wanted to use me to find Roel.”
Speaking seriously in a slightly lowered voice, Ross’ legs were working hard to put socks and trash on the floor under the bed. Although she didn’t like this distracted Ross who lacked any seriousness, his words intrigued Ellie to no end.
“What do you mean? “You wanted to find Roel?”
Ross approached Ellie while rubbing his forehead, leaned down slightly and spoke in a whisper.
“In our world, Roel is missing.”
“… what?”
“I couldn’t find Roel anywhere at my entrance ceremony. No one else had any idea where Roel had gone. Well, I was able to figure out why Roel disappeared when my world was destroyed.”
Eli stuck out his tongue and asked, moistening his dry lips.
“… “What was the reason?”
“test.”
“… .”
“I saw what the world would be like without me. So I went straight to the next world. Well, it’s not a bad idea to give variables like that once in a while. “It’s just a pity that it was my turn in the world.”
Without showing much regret, Ross pulled Ellie off her back and laid him down on his bed.
“hmm… As expected, the mirror was fatally distorted. Seeing my face in person like this made me feel handsome! “If I round up, I could easily fall into Roel’s class.”
“No, that’s not true.”
Ross turned around, pouting his lips at the sight of Ellie tackling him even though he was unconscious.
“Anyway, let’s go back to the story before.”
Ross waved his hand, levitating a kettle of coffee and a teacup in the air, then took out a chair. When Ellie sat down, gesturing for her to sit down, Ross, who poured her coffee with dignity, smiled warmly.
“Lady, our ambitious work, made fresh by grinding coffee beans from the North, is Winter Is Great!”
In the end, Ellie couldn’t hold back her feelings and swung her fist, hitting Ross in the abdomen.
“… ?!”
Strangely enough, it tasted really good. Like a punching bag that has been hit thousands of times. Should I say this feels good? It wasn’t a very hard hit, but Ross’s fussy reaction made it even more impactful. Ross, who pretended to be sick and flopped down on the chair on the other side, stroked his stomach and said.
“Oh my, you can’t even joke around! Is it a problem to go out with your fists first? It’s okay with me, but if you hit me like this even after I get married to Roel, it’ll be domestic violence! “I need to break my habit of going out with my hands first!”
When Ellie slowly raised her fist again, Ross immediately started talking about something else as if nothing had happened.
“… So that Ross lying on the bed had the ability to travel to other worlds?”
Ellie snorted and said as she saw everything from the tone of her voice to her facial expression change, as if it wasn’t something she had tried once or twice.
“Yes, the magic suddenly added to Fatulga’s magic book created by the administrator’s intervention sent Ross to another world. But I can’t use it now. It wasn’t something that could be used freely… .”
No matter how long he had been holding it in his hand, as soon as Ellie finished speaking, Ross checked the contents of Patulga’s magic book and threw the book onto Ross’ chest on the bed with a sigh.
“For some reason, I couldn’t make out the back part. Still, it seems that the Ross of this world is quite loved, as the administrator intervened and deliberately lent such abilities for a while. Still, isn’t this outright discrimination? “How convenient it would have been if they had given me that ability while I was struggling in the labyrinth to survive!”
Ellie quietly closed her eyes and spoke.
“No, because it’s the last loss. Of course, they will generously help with anything.”
“?”
“?”
The two people looked at each other as if they couldn’t understand each other, and finally realized why the conversation wasn’t continuing.
“The last time?”
“Don’t you know it’s the last time?”
The two voices overlapped at the same time. Ross, who had a shocked expression, slowly turned his head to the side and looked straight at you.
Then he used his magic and asked.
