Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

28 – It’s hard… Aang… ㅠㅅㅠ

“…… “

Trixie has been looking at me with a subtle gaze since earlier.

I think I’ve reached the stage where I’m almost certain I’m a scout, but there’s only one thing I can say right now.

“First of all, I will focus on the exploration evaluation.”

It was a principled idea to focus only on the evaluation during the evaluation, but Trixie seemed to have a different meaning.

For example, it means to prove it through the evaluation of this exploration.

“Good.”

Trixie, who nodded happily, tried to explain in additional detail, but also gave up.

It doesn’t seem like it’s a misunderstanding that will be resolved by saying that she’s not a scout in the first place, and it’s also true that the more determined Trixie is, the easier the evaluation of the exploration becomes.

“What are the two of you talking about? Are you going with a strategy of breaking through head-on without detours? Is that right?”

Martin asked, shrugging her shoulders.

Perhaps it was because Trixie was sticking to me, her eyes looking at me became strangely sharp.

“Yes.”

Trixie answered briefly and coldly.

“There is no fire resistance. They.”

She had no intention of taking a detour. She has confidence in herself.

Trixie pointed her chin at the beast on the other side of her. Translucent floating ghosts were waiting for us. These are the so-called race guys.

Even in this world, ghosts are weak against the fire element, which has a similar grain to the exorcism property. Trixie’s self-confidence also stemmed from it.

“The race is no problem. It just needs to go in the right direction.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, don’t worry.”

Martin grinned and pulled a scroll from her breast.

“I don’t have to worry about getting lost. It’s a positional scroll. I had a hard time trying to save it.”

Martin tossed it at me.

“You have to check the road. There’s nothing you can do about it because you’re being carried away anyway.”

It went well. Entrusting Martin with directions was unreliable on this side as well.

Martin looked at Trixie, expecting her compliments, but she could only spit out Korean characters.

“Go.”

“Huh?”

“Go.”

“Oh, yes.”

After belatedly understanding Trixie’s meaning of “Taking the lead,” Martin sprinted with the element of wind wrapped around her body.

The races whose peace has been disturbed vigorously chase after him.

But Trixie’s blue flame won’t allow that.

Tak.

Trixie snapped his fingers and that was it. Kieek, making a sound, the laces are covered in blue flames and burn.

Great, but the problem was the sheer number of races.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, Martin looked back and was shocked to see the huge number of races.

Trixie kept burning them, but she didn’t think the number would decrease.

I quietly collected mana.

There is no need to jump directly like Martin and act as a bait, nor to directly manifest elemental magic like Trixie.

Auxiliary is sufficient.

I adjusted the output of Trixie’s flames. It is only natural that the performance of the assisted element is amplified.

The flames, which were only lumps, spread like wildfire, and the group of races was soon annihilated.

“…… “

Trixie looked at me with slightly blank eyes.

Since she was the one who manifested the flames, she must have noticed.

She herself obviously only outputted the flames of mass firepower, but other magical powers intervened and amplified the output value.

“It is more convenient to burn it all at once.”

“Is it a deduction?”

She just asked. Somehow, the more the evaluation progresses, the more the misunderstanding towards me seems to grow.

“Let’s talk after the evaluation.”

It is not too late to explain slowly after the evaluation is over.

We proceeded while examining Martin’s location scroll, which served as a map.

After that, they ran into a group of races a couple of times, but with the help of Trixie’s flames, they cleaned it up.

“Huh~ It’s all cleaned up! Plan, how much further do you have to go?”

Said Martin, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He was engulfed in Trixie’s flames and was completely charred, but he himself seemed unaware of it.

“Just a little further.”

“If you come back, the highest point will be confirmed. There’s no team that has killed more monsters than us. Is it easier than you think?”

The moment the charcoal soot looked at the location scroll with a satisfied face. I felt an ominously turbulent aura.

From noble mtl dot com

Eyes instinctively follow the source.

Trixie’s feet are the problem. No, the whole road we were going to take was a problem.

It collapses. Certainly. It will be at the level of the ground completely collapsing.

The use that immediately comes to mind is Yeomdong.

I used my psychokinesis to pull Trixie with all my might.

“What, huh?”

The pulled Trixie clung to my arms. If he pushed, he would fall to his death, so he had no choice but to pull.

“You. What, what are you doing what are you doing.”

A subtle expression spread across Trixie’s face. It was as if he couldn’t understand my actions at all.

Coo-goo-goo!

But right after that, the ground Trixie had been stepping on sank entirely. It is impossible to guess the depth with the naked eye.

A great silence greeted us.

After a while, Martin was the first to break the silence.

“It’s too bad for a trap, but if this falls….”

It must have been at least death.

Trixie, who was in my arms, rolled her eyes, looked down, and cleared her throat as she walked away from me.

“It’s strange. It’s not artificial.”

Trixie also said a word. It was as she said.

The real problem with the ground collapse that had just occurred was that there was no hint of any man-made element to be felt.

“Hey…. Can you hear something? Am I the only one who hears this?”

Martin’s voice trembled as if he couldn’t be bluffing this time. The grotesque sound coming from the far-off cliff grows louder and louder.

Kiyi Iik!

We looked under the cliff. Something was rising like crazy.

And it took less than two seconds to realize that it was the upper body of an indescribably gigantic skeleton.

Skeletons cannot make any sounds because they do not have vocal cords. However, if it makes a sound, it is proof that it is a high-level entity in itself.

“Hey, hey, hey. This. What is this? Is that coming towards us? How, what should I do with this?”

Martin stuttered as if he was out of order.

I was embarrassed, but I tried to stay calm. When all of that giant body comes up, it will completely submerge the surrounding area.

I had to deal with it before uploading. Certainly.

Trixie caused a series of explosions on the surrounding walls with blue flames.

When the wall collapsed, countless dirt and stones covered the giant skeleton, but that was all. I couldn’t stop him from rising.

“Not through. Too big.”

“Take out all the scrolls.”

Then Martin hurriedly put out two scrolls. Trixie didn’t have the scroll she brought, probably because of her confidence.

『Emergency Escape』, 『Petrifaction』. I picked up the petrification scroll without hesitation.

If you focus extremely on efficiency, you can break through.

Unfolded the scroll.

The white surface of the gigantic skeleton subtly turns gray, but that’s all. It slowed movement, but did not completely petrify it.

‘Modification.’

I drew the magic formula contained in the scroll in my head. All sorts of magical applications and geometric patterns flashed through my mind.

Instead of reducing the ‘range’ of petrification, its performance was raised to the limit. Beyond the scope of support, it was close to remodeling.

Kwadeuk, the skeleton’s huge arm hardened into a gray light.

Kieee

His face was not petrified and he made a strange sound, but there is no way for him with stiff arms to climb this cliff.

The guy screamed and fell off.

“…… And. Scroll performance is fine.”

Martin murmured quietly. Then she suddenly screamed.

“It’s strange when you think about it! I’ve never heard of the ground collapsing inside a magic labyrinth, or that there are skeletons that big!”

It definitely bothered me.

It was not to the extent that it could be dismissed as a story like ‘there was a lack of prior investigation’.

From a while ago, I couldn’t feel any artificial energy around me, only ominous energy.

Martin’s anger was directed at me out of nowhere.

“Did you give directions correctly? Aren’t you wrong?”

“This way is right.”

Despite giving a clear answer, Martin swiped at the scroll and examined it for himself.

However, as I said, there was no problem with the guidance itself. Still, his anger did not subside.

“That doesn’t help…. From earlier on, Trixie subdued, and I lured. Is it good to be carried comfortably while doing everything?”

“You.”

But Trixie glared coldly at Martin.

“Don’t breathe. Shut up.”

“No, it’s too much to do! If I didn’t have my scroll just now, I would have been in real trouble….”

Fire, Trixie’s arm was wrapped in blue flames. Only then did Martin shut his mouth as if he couldn’t help it.

“Go the other way.”

At Trixie’s calm reaction, Martin muttered something and did so.

As I went back the way I came, Trixie sneaked towards me once more.

And one word.

“Good job.”

◈

Walking after him, Trixie examined the man in front of him.

The boy’s back is not wide enough to be reliable. However, it seemed quite spacious now.

Walking and walking, I looked back on what had just happened.

He assisted Trixie’s blue flames wonderfully. Words are secondary, in fact, it is at the level of direct interference and dealing with it yourself.

If the same student did that, he would be rightly angry….

‘Because they’re not the same student.’

Yes, the moment you think of Flan as a scout and not a student, all anglers fall into place.

Being a commoner and hiding your skills. All the pieces of the puzzle fit into the picture of scouter.

Above all, the strengthening of the petrified scroll that was shown earlier was decisive.

Picking out magic that can be used calmly in embarrassing situations and raising the effect to the limit.

…… He, he couldn’t say he was already a student.

‘I guess that’s what I’m asking for.’

Clearly, he is conserving his strength.

Martin, the savage, didn’t recognize it, but Trixie noticed it enough. It is presumed that he is suggesting a subtle hint to Trixie.

You have to show this much to be able to join the guild you want. It would be close to that meaning. It seemed like he was talking like that.

‘I am confident.’

The Mysterious Gorge, which has a reputation as a magic guild, is the guild she has dreamed of since childhood, and it was also the guild her mother belonged to.

She’s only a freshman now, and she’s also fully aware of her own talents.

So, I will be recognized somehow and definitely join.

“What are you doing? Stand still.”

Suddenly, Martin spoke to Trixie.

Unknowingly, I had stopped. Trixie shook her head.

“Don’t open your mouth.”

Trixie chased after Plan, who was walking ahead.

Then I suddenly thought of it and opened the trivia.

[ ▶ For the underrated middle ear! ]

[ ▶ It’s hard…. Aang…. ㅠㅅㅠ ]

It seemed that this contact would gradually become a habit.

Koo-gu-goo-!

But right after sending the contact. The walls on both sides began to collapse.

As the walls on both sides were torn down, the images of the other groups walking down the other aisle were naturally revealed one after another.

At first, it was about two sets.

“Uh, hey. Flan….”

In the aisle on the left is Becky’s 5 sets.

“Hmm.”

And in the aisle on the right was Hayley’s group 1.

Trixie thought quietly as she watched the eyes of the two girls lock on to Flan at the same time.

‘…… Did these guys notice it too?’
