Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 156
The youngest son of the famous magician Episode 156
[4. [You will see things that should not be seen.]
Larsen had a hunch.
‘Those are footprints.’
Something that shouldn’t be seen. That started to appear.
“Following the footsteps.”
“footprint?”
Lydia tilted her head. As expected, it seemed invisible to Lydia’s eyes.
“uh. “There are footprints.”
thud! thud!
I felt a strange sensation that I could not hear in my ears.
‘Do you see… a sound?’
It’s hard to express it specifically, but I felt that way. It was the sound of footsteps.
‘The footprints are fading.’
New footprints appeared and the old footprints became blurred. As time passes, you won’t even be able to find any traces. Hampton trembled.
“Are they footprints?”
Hiccup.
Hiccup.
I started to hiccup.
Hampton’s face, who was very afraid of ghost-type monsters and ghosts, turned ashen. I carefully took out a peach tree branch, which is known to be effective in exorcising ghosts.
“I’m not scared. Because I am!”
Heira cut him off.
“okay. “You are the first shadow.”
“That’s right, sister. Since I am Shadow 1, I am not scared. “Let’s go together!”
Larsen and his group took a step forward. I continued walking, following the footprints. Heira followed Larsen and continued to observe him.
‘I’m sure I’m walking along something.’
However, it is not visible to Heira’s eyes either. It seems like it was Kaysa Mayton’s arrangement.
‘The speed…’
It was very fast. Hampton and Lydia are barely keeping up. Larsen was too distracted by the footsteps to pay attention to Hampton and Lydia.
Larsen looked back.
“Go Gongjaniyim!”
Hampton was panting. But the footprints got quite far away. The speed of the footsteps is too fast. Larsen made a decision.
“Lydia. Hampton. wait here.”
“Lord Confucius, I can go too…”
I gave up trying to insist that I could go. I realized that my current self was only a hindrance.
“All right! First Shadow Hampton! “I’ll wait here!”
Heira silently followed Larsen. Heira supported Larsen’s decision. The ‘lions’ here are no match for Lydia. Even if only Lydia is left behind, it won’t be a big threat.
He followed Larsen closely.
“Is it okay if I don’t stay over there?”
“I think mine would be more dangerous.”
Heira nodded. This choice is right.
Throughout history, some matons have failed to make the right decisions in these situations. Those who are soft-hearted or overly kind might have placed Heira over there in this case. But Larsen didn’t do that.
From Heira’s point of view, it was quite the right choice.
“If you ever get into a situation where you can’t come after me, go back to them.”
“….”
Heira nodded, but did not deeply agree.
I didn’t think I would be able to go where Larsen went. In fact, Larsen was breathing heavily right now. On the other hand, Heira was fine.
Then at some point.
thud!
Heira’s body hit something. I couldn’t move forward anymore.
‘Is this… a mana barrier?’
A barrier had been erected. That far ahead. I saw a cave. Larsen was running towards the cave.
‘I feel a familiar energy.’
Kaysa Mayton.
I could feel the great energy of Mayton’s first head. Heira took out a dagger and immediately put it away. I looked at Larsen’s back as he walked away.
I remembered Larsen’s earlier command. I didn’t think something like this would happen. This happened.
Larsen entered the cave without even looking in this direction. Heira looked at the back and muttered.
“The view of superiors must be higher than that of subordinates.”
In the end, Larsen’s order was correct. If it weren’t for Larsen’s orders, Heira would have broken this mana barrier and entered inside.
“I feel a familiar energy in the mana barrier.”
That far away.
I looked inside the cave. It was so dark that I couldn’t see anything. Maybe there is a spell that blocks vision.
“I will go back and wait, Confucius.”
Heira turned around.
* * *
Larsen entered the cave.
omg! omg!
I was completely out of breath. If it weren’t for Magner’s special training and fighting power, I probably wouldn’t have been able to chase him this far.
As we entered the cave, the footsteps slowed down.
thud!
There was a sound.
‘Do you hear footsteps?’
It was different from the feeling I could only see with my eyes. There were actual footsteps. There was a tremor in the cave. thud! The water droplets that had formed at the top of the cave fell with a sound! fell. It flowed down Larsen’s face.
thud!
When I looked at the floor, I saw a huge footprint engraved on it.
‘It’s not something you see in Cheonan.’
These were not footprints found only in Cheonan. I really saw footprints.
thud! thud!
Footprints kept appearing. As if telling me to follow you. Larsen did not move from his spot.
The footsteps got farther away. Strangely enough, the footprints that were actually engraved disappeared again.
‘Footprints are getting further away.’
Should I follow those footsteps? Larsen was conflicted in his heart. But in the end, I chose it. I decided to stay right here. First, I calmly looked around. The energy felt in the cave was unusual.
‘It’s the first time I’ve encountered the energy of mana.’
If I had to compare it, it was a strange feeling, like I was in outer space. It seemed as if abundant mana from another dimension that did not exist in the world was filling this place.
A blue haze shimmered everywhere. Some time passed. Larsen touched the cave wall. My stomach was pushed inside the cave wall.
“what is this?”
I was startled and took my hand away. I felt like my insides were being sucked into the wall.
at that time. A voice was heard.
“Are you [that child]?”
It was a woman’s voice. He seemed to be quite old, but I could feel the solemn dignity even in his voice. The same feeling I felt from Decatra was also felt in this voice.
I looked around.
‘when?’
Just 2 meters in front. There was a woman sitting on a chair. He looked to be in his 60s. The hair was red and the eyes were also red.
She said.
“Why didn’t you follow the footprints?”
“Because it’s not something that should be invisible.”
Hangul told me. You can see things that shouldn’t be visible. However, the footprints inside the cave were visible.
“It was a good choice.”
“What happened if you followed in the footsteps?”
“He must be dead.”
“You speak so easily.”
Kaysa Mayton, sitting on a rock, chuckled.
“I don’t have much time, so I’ll just talk briefly about the main point.”
Kaysa Mayton began speaking. First, he said he had to have ‘Cheonan’.
“That was a very valuable ability of that old man.”
“That old man?”
“The old man called it a good eye. And he taught me a special alien language. “The letters you could read on the wooden sign.”
“Hangul?”
“Is that what you call Hangul?”
Kaysa Mayton’s explanation was interesting. The characters here said that even if they wanted to learn Hangul, they couldn’t. It is said that no matter how much you learn and memorize something, you will automatically forget it.
You have to be an archmage like Kaysa Maton to be able to learn it or something. They said even that would be forgotten over time.
“The old man said it was heavenly energy.”
“Cheongi?”
“The energy of the sky. Or revelation from God. Or a text that can read God’s will.”
“Do you believe there is a God?”
“There is a God. It affects humans knowingly or unknowingly. “You wouldn’t know, right?”
Kaysa Mayton seemed to know everything.
“Don’t be surprised. “I also learned this from the old man.”
There was warmth in Kaysa Mayton’s eyes. This is not the real Kaysa Mayton. Only the last will remains to convey the will to the next person. Nevertheless, deep affection for ‘the old man’ was evident in those eyes.
“Eyes that can read the heavens. You will have it. “If it weren’t for you, you wouldn’t have been able to come here.”
Kaysa Mayton stood up. He came closer to Larsen.
“If you had carried out all my arrangements, you would have grown as the old people say.”
“What did they say?”
“Attribute magic and martial arts. And he must have mastered all martial arts.”
“…Did you create an order and have them follow the footsteps?”
“okay. It was to find out. If the old people’s wishes were truly fulfilled, the latter would have it all.”
In fact, Heira helped, but Larsen did not reveal it. Kaysa Mayton smiled faintly.
“Give me your hand.”
Kaysa Mayton held her hand.
“I realized this right before I died. How to fuse three energies into one. “If I had known in advance, they wouldn’t have had to cry because of me.”
A red energy flickered from Kaysa Mayton’s body. The quivering energy entangled Larsen’s body like a snake. It began to seep into Larsen’s skin.
“Martial arts. Matusul. Attribute magic. How to put it all together. “It looks like you have some idea of the direction of that.”
Red energy was etched into Larsen’s skin like a tattoo.
Chi-ik!
Smoke burned from my skin. There was a smell of burning meat. My skin melted.
‘Pfft!’
Larsen couldn’t scream. My body didn’t move.
“You are already learning what I only realized in my later years.”
It seemed like several red paths were forming on my skin. The red path starts from the fingertips, goes down the neck, and goes all the way to the top of the head. And all the way to your toes. It was engraved like a spiderweb tattoo.
“I decided to call it [transcendent magic]. Encompassing all attributes, magic and magic arts. And because it encompasses martial arts.”
Kaysa Mayton’s toes began to disperse like smoke.
“Therefore, I plan to engrave the technique of [Transcendence Magic] on your body. The fundamental operating principle of this spell is the mana of attribute magic and the mana of magic magic. And it fuses the fighting power of martial arts and melts them into one power.”
Originally, mana and fighting power do not mix. However, you can fuse them together to create new power. It was said that a ‘magic technique’ that would make this possible would be engraved on Larsen’s body.
But then Holy Grail had a seizure.
-no! Stop now!
Kaysa Mayton dispersed like smoke. Larsen felt an eerie moment.
Kaysa Mayton, who dispersed like smoke, became a ‘red mist’ and burrowed into Larsen’s skin.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Larsen screamed. Finally, my body started to move.
-What has this crazy old woman done!
Larsen had a hunch. Something is wrong.
