I couldn’t put it into words.

 

The silence that hung over Old Trek was caused by one person alone.

 

“ah… .”

 

Even those who had already witnessed Isaac’s power during the Alice Carroll incident were unable to recover from the mental shock after seeing the original Jade Demon and 9-star ice magic.

 

9-star magic is world-destroying. Only history has recorded what it looked like.

 

The experience of actually seeing the magic with both eyes was rare even for the archmage, enough to be treated like a legend even though it existed.

 

Even more so, a transcendent monster capable of destroying this world over and over again descended as Isaac’s minion.

 

why… How high did Isaac reach? People couldn’t guess.

 

“Bingje-nim… .”

 

All the students who were participants in the academy competition were admiring with their mouths open.

 

The outer wall of the competition stage had been completely swallowed up by the iron sea, so the field of view was wide open to the far distance.

 

After seeing the overwhelming power of mankind’s strongest in their eyes, they were immersed in a deep afterglow for a while.

 

It was an insurmountable wall. That’s why he was a model to be modeled on more than anyone else.

 

To the students, Isaac’s appearance was truly admirable.

 

The fact that we are living in the same era makes us feel honored.

 

The image of the Ice Emperor flying away riding a white dragon, damaging the snow, bringing in light, was a scene from a legend that will be recorded in the future.

 

“… damn.”

 

Tristan Humphrey clenched his fists.

 

It’s overwhelming. If you’re human, you can’t help but be in awe.

 

No matter what realizations he had in the future and how strong he became, he didn’t even see the slightest chance that he would be able to surpass the current Isaac.

 

But he was determined to go beyond Isaac. That promise will never change.

 

I was just paying homage to Isaac, who was my target for now.

 

“Prepare to meet the hero.”

 

“Your Majesty the Emperor?”

 

Emperor Carlos’ eyes twinkled as he watched Isaac ride back to Old Trek on a white dragon.

 

“He is the hope and light that has come down to mankind.”

 

Emperor Carlos closed his eyes and laughed.

 

“He is Jim’s son-in-law.”

 

“yes?”

 

Talk like bragging.

 

Merlin was taken aback, not understanding what Emperor Carlos meant.

[ situation ]

 

Name: Isaac

 

Lv : 178

 

Gender: male

 

Grade: 2

 

title: ice

 

mana: 93500 / 639300

 

– Magic recovery speed (S)

 

He was riding the Ice and Snow Dragon-Heeld and was leisurely flying towards Old Trek.

 

The battlefield where Thanatos and I fought was a wasteland that was once swept by floating islands.

 

The desolate land where no one lives, has become more barren due to the previous battle.

 

Well, it will be developed later.

 

‘The magical power is amazing now.’

 

Even if they don’t have ‘battle power against the race’, they have risen to the ranks of the strongest among mankind.

 

Since this spec is based on my pure abilities, I feel more comfortable with it.

 

Now it was time to distribute the stats.

 

[ potential power ]

 

Retained Stats: 118

 

◆ Fighting power against races

 

– Combat power against humans (A): 80/100 [UP]

 

– Combat power against heterogeneous races (A-): 70/100 [UP]

 

– Anti-Elyos Combat Power (A): 80/100 [UP]

 

– Anti-Evil Combat Power (S): 100/100

 

‘There are so many stats.’

 

The priorities are clear.

 

A total of 70 stats are required to max out the fighting power of the remaining races.

 

His stats are overflowing.

 

I touched the status window and distributed all the stats.

 

A cheerful sound effect echoed in my head, and several system windows appeared in my field of vision.

 

[Potential [combat power against humans] has been improved from A-class to S-class!]

 

[You have acquired the unique attribute [Supreme King]!]

 

[Potential [combat power against heterogeneous races] has been improved from A-class to S-class!]

 

[You have acquired the unique attribute [Top Predator]!]

 

[Potential [anti-Elyos combat power] has been improved from A-class to S-class!]

 

[You have acquired the unique attribute [The Accuser]!]

 

In fact, now confined to combat, he has risen to the ranks of true munchkins in this world.

 

Suddenly, a fanfare rang in my head.

 

[congratulations! You have overcome arduous adversity and have finally improved all your potential to the highest level!]

 

[You have acquired the unique attribute [Archmage’s Realm]!]

 

[You have acquired the unique attribute [Divine Power]!]

 

“huh?”

 

what?

 

There is no special reward if you reach the highest level of combat power against races, but if you reach the maximum level with [Growth Speed], you will acquire the unique characteristic of [Grand Wizard’s State]. It’s like being the final boss.

 

[The realm of the Archmage] is similar to the commonly known level of the Archmage. Like manipulating the maximum amount of magic power, or changing into an elemental form like the other kings, it moves.

 

In fact, from now on, the archmage cosplay is possible.

 

In addition, it is possible to arbitrarily adjust the buff of combat power against races.

 

From noble mtl dot com

 

‘Yeah, it’s like a game… .’

 

What is the Unique Attribute [God Attack]?

 

This kind of thing does not appear in ＜Merhen’s Magic Knight＞.

 

Was there anything like this in the 1st playthrough? did not come to mind

 

‘First of all, I’ll have to start with ‘Elemental Resistance’ for [God Attack].’

 

Because stat distribution comes first.

 

The remaining stats are 48.

 

I have an elemental bracelet, an item that temporarily raises a certain ‘elemental resistance’ by ’40’.

 

So, I aimed to get all elemental resistances to 60.

 

Current resistances below 60 are Rock, Wind, and Neutral.

 

All up to 60.

 

[Elemental resistance [Rock property elemental resistance] has been improved from B-class to B+-class!]

 

[Element resistance [neutral property element resistance] has been improved from B-class to B+-class!]

 

[Wind attribute elemental resistance] was originally B+, so a separate notification window did not pop up.

 

The remaining stats are now 11.

 

I decided to put this on hold for now.

 

‘Now [God Strike]… .’

 

I touched the status window and selected [Divine Power] from the Unique Attribute column.

 

[godhead]

 

:: Increases the effect of one of the unique characteristics [Supreme King], [Top Predator], [Accuser], and [Destroyer] by 1.5 times, and seals all other unique characteristics. When [God Strike] is discontinued, the state of the unique attribute returns to its original state.

 

[Activation conditions]

 

■■

 

[Do you want to use the unique attribute [Godhead]?]

 

[yes]

 

[no]

 

‘This makes sense… ?’

 

It was an incredibly good effect.

 

1.5 times the fighting power of the race. it’s a great ability

 

In a way, it was also the ability I needed the most.

 

‘What are the activation conditions… ?’

 

For some reason, the activation conditions were mosaic-processed.

 

I waved my hand around the status window, but the mosaic did not disappear.

 

first… I didn’t need to use [God Strike] right now, so I tried to press the [No] option.

 

Chijik.

 

It was a while.

 

A sound rang in my head for a moment. is it noise?

 

It was so fleeting, I wasn’t sure if what I saw was correct.

 

For some reason, I had the illusion that a lot of snow had just filled the system window.

 

“… … .”

 

Was it an illusion caused by what he had experienced during the ordeal of sandstone?

 

I had a strong feeling that it was because of my mood, but an uncomfortable feeling lingered in my chest. Just in case, I decided not to forget this feeling.

 

I pressed [No] and closed the system window.

 

Before long, we arrived at Aldrek’s Academy Competition stage. There were many people who welcomed me.

 

Should I say I welcomed you? . Rather, it would be more accurate to say that each of them bent one knee and bowed their upper body to show their respect.

 

Not only the students, but also the imperial knights were gathering and saluting me. The imperial knights seemed to have come for the students.

 

Some of the students were injured, but none suffered serious injuries, and fortunately no deaths were reported.

 

When Ian arrived at Old Trek, he regained his senses, and he was treated as a hero, and his shoulders were lifted.

 

Before long, the original kings changed into elemental forms and left. I could tell by looking at the sky.

 

‘Did the unknown monster say it was Ozma?’

 

I thought as I put Ribella’s round glasses back on.

 

Unexpected. To hear important things about me from the iron fairy Rachneel.

 

The name of the unknown monster inside me is ‘Ozma’. The first volume of Stella, the fairy of the stars.

 

‘It’s the same name as Princess Ozma from 「The Wizard of Oz」.

 

That wouldn’t matter though.

 

In any case, Stella’s story in Volume 1 could only be found out as a legend in ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞. It was the same here.

 

Sooner or later, you will need to talk with Aria Lillias, the Master of the Magic Tower of Hegel, about Ozma. I was also curious about the story Arya was trying to tell me.

 

‘Dorothy… .’

 

It was Dorothy who cared the most.

 

Dorothy had the qualities of a transcendent, and Lachneel had said that if she lived, she would one day become the fuse of catastrophe.

 

You must have been shocked in many ways. Dorothy had always tried to survive somehow. Because I’ve been working hard

 

I can’t even imagine how heavily the fact that being alive is a curse to the world now weighs heavily on Dorothy.

 

But Dorothy looked fine. It was very much the same as usual to be relieved that the case was solved safely.

 

rather… In my eyes, it looked like Dorothy was struggling to hide her psychology.

 

“It worked out well, Chairman! We won!”

 

“Yes, I see.”

 

Dorothy and I fist-to-fisted, intoxicated by the afterglow of victory. She let out a characteristic, nihi-hi laugh.

 

I deliberately did not mention the story of Rachneel. It would be better to postpone the story until later.

 

The settlement of the situation was proceeding smoothly. It was because Emperor Carlos, the Imperial Knights, the Imperial Magician Corps, and all the magnates of the Empire were gathered in Oldrec.

 

‘I guess I can just focus on my business.’

 

I had other things to do now.

 

“Alice.”

 

Ice and Snow Dragon-Heild changed into a humanoid somewhere out of sight and put on the everyday clothes that were in my magic pocket.

 

I took Hild, Dorothy, and Kaya to one of the bases for the Academy Competition stage.

 

“Welcome, honey.”

 

Alice sat cross-legged on a chair and greeted us with her chin resting.

 

Beside Alice, there was a female student lying unconscious, tied up.

 

She was suffering from a cold sweat, as if she was having a bad dream.

 

brown hair. It was the Elyos who tried to get rid of me earlier, the level 185 ‘Matel Valencia’.
