Chapter 267 – The Power to Embody Imagination

“Success! I succeeded in completing the great magic. Now I am also a first-class wizard.”

After successfully summoning the ego book, I told the results of the training to the lovers who were watching.
Rebecca, Kate, and Bella were looking at the ego book of 〈 Shockwave 〉 floating in the air with curious eyes.

“I’ll start by saying congratulations. Mr. Luke, who became a first-class wizard in just one year. When I first saw him, he was a clumsy wizard… How did he grow up like this?”

Rebecca looked at me with a proud expression.
She was the one who had been watching me by her side for the longest time, so when she saw me growing up, she seemed strangely moved.
It’s like watching a family get a job at a large company.

“Dreammaster. If you are a first-class magician, aren’t you talented enough to be accepted as a court wizard in a decent country? You don’t have to worry about making a living even if you quit your job as an adventurer.”
“When, you beat me up! Luke’s younger brother promised to bury his bones in the Galarhorn. Our guild would be ruined without him. You must never hit me!”

Kate and Bella were equally happy that I had become a first-class wizard. Because I was like their family. The words of encouragement filled with pure goodwill touched my heart. After all, the only ones who think of me are lovers.

“Bella-sister. I’m not going anywhere, so don’t worry. I’m still only wearing silver, but I can’t retire from adventure work already. I’ll bury my bones in the Galarhorn.”
“As expected, you’re a loyal person. Let’s create the continent’s best adventurers’ guild with me. It’s amazing to have a guild with first-class wizards.”
“Although I am the only proper wizard in the guild.”
“Whoops, quality is more important than quantity.”

Since the training is over, there is no reason to maintain the inner world any longer. Great magic is no different from a hippo that eats mana. The moment he completed the great magic, his mana ran out and he was dizzy. It was not a magic that could be maintained for a long time even in a combat situation.

“Go back to normal.”

When the supply of magical power was cut off, the inner world soon collapsed.
The achromatic scenery and ego drums that surrounded the surroundings disappeared like ghosts.
We returned to the inside of the carriage, which had been running for a while.

Dag dag, dag dag.

The scenery beyond the window reflected the scenery of the Great Forest still full of trees. Only the sound of the wagon driving quietly can be heard.
It must mean that nothing particularly dangerous happened while we were entering the inner world.

“Wendy sister! Listen! Luke has become a first-class wizard as of today!”
“Yes? Luke-sama is first-rate? Mo, what the hell happened while I couldn’t see you?”

Rebecca poked her head out of her window and delivered the good news to Wendy. Wendy, who was sitting in her driver’s seat, reacted with great embarrassment. It’s no wonder that she reacted by hearing it for the first time. Earlier, she had given her hearty explanation of her training, but she couldn’t have heard it at all from Wendy.

‘The soundproofing is perfect. Wasn’t the shockwave spell quite loud?’

People who have entered the inner world are told that they are isolated from the outside. Whatever happens in the inner world, it is impossible for outsiders to observe it. Considering the fact that Wendy didn’t notice at all the magical shockwave that she had just made a great booming sound.

Outsiders can only see something like a suddenly formed membrane.
Even if you do not activate the great magic, it is enough to fulfill the role of a barrier.

“Dreammaster? So, what is the great magic of the Dreammaster? The ability to summon a strange book that uses magic?”

As she caught her breath, Kate asked a curious question.
Come to think of it, was it your turn to explain what great magic you learned?

“The great magic that summons the spell book… Is not exactly my magic.”
“Yes? What kind of pun are you talking about? The dreamer used it, but it’s not the magic of the dreamer.”
“I’ve seen other wizards use the same great magic. Even then, spell books with egos were summoned. But great magic is a unique skill for all wizards, right? There can be no two wizards with the same origin. Because there is no law.”

I see Kate with a puzzled look on her face. In fact, I’m still not exactly clear on the cloning ability of Luke’s great magic. It wasn’t like there was a kindly manual attached to it. I decided to just tell you what I was guessing.

“The root of my mage was ‘inquisitive mind’. The desire to learn all the magic that exists in this world. That was embodied in the form of great magic and gave me a strange ability.”
“What ability is it?”
“The ability to copy other people’s magic. In the inner world, even great magic can be imitated.”

Upon hearing the great magic ability, Kate opened her eyes wide.

“No… You can copy any magic? It’s a scam! What kind of terrifying abilities are there! Isn’t it an ability that makes you invincible against wizards? If you copy any magic and counter it, you’re sure to win.”
“It must be an advantageous ability in the great magic dictionary.
“Even if there are restrictions, it is definitely a great ability!”

The moment I activate the great magic, I can copy all kinds of magic.

Couldn’t it be Kakashi, the copy ninja who descended into another world?
I might be able to use the brain break now.

Lightning… Cut it!

It’s definitely a dreamlike ability, but you can’t just be happy. What kind of mechanism does replication take place, is there a limit to the magic that can be copied, and only when you find out those restrictions will you be able to safely activate great magic. Life in another world wouldn’t necessarily go smoothly.

“Well, when I know the specifics later, I’ll tell you guys. I think I need some time to investigate great magic.”

After completing the explanation, I decided to go to sleep. I drank holy water, but in the end, the effect is the same as an energy drink. If you don’t sleep properly, you will be tired later. I should get a good night’s sleep and take some time to explain the Great Magic.

“Wake me up if anything happens.”

After asking my lovers, I fell asleep.

*

When I opened my eyes again, it was late at night. The expedition headed to the Dergantus Ruins seems to have decided to camp near the road. Looking out the window, I saw that the Black Hawk crew members were taking a break with a bonfire.

Looks like nothing happened while you were sleeping.
As I was looking outside, I suddenly met eyes with Lepiel, who was near the carriage.

“I heard about it from your lovers. Did you say that you became a first-class wizard as of today? The power of the expedition has increased.

The news that I had been promoted to a first-class wizard was already known to the members of the expedition.
Even so, some beastmen have been staring at me since before.

“Even if I’m first-class, I’m still in my infancy. Please don’t trust me too much.”
“Of course. I can’t rely on you for everything. I hope you’re safe when the expedition is over. A first-class wizard is a very rare talent. Perhaps an offer to work as a court wizard in the Principality of Morph might come.”
“Ah… I have no reason to accept such an offer. I have no desire to leave my hometown and work abroad.”

Did I mention that when you become a first-class wizard, you are hired as a court wizard in each country?
Looking at Lefiel’s eyes, it seemed that those words were true. Of course, he had no intention of quitting his adventurer job.

Are you a court wizard?
I don’t want to be entangled in the political arena while watching the attention of the high-ranking people.
Getting money from the country is not an easy task.
If you went on an adventure, you left.

“You’re quite resolute. If you’re a court mage, isn’t it the highest honor a wandering mage can enjoy?”
“It’s better to live freely than fame or power. Refuse to be a commuter junkie! Master Daejeon, do you know the happiness of taking a nap until late in the afternoon?”
“…I don’t know. Anyway, if your will is firm, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Upon revealing his intention to decline his post, Le Piel retreated around the wagon.

Soon time passed and the time came for everyone to go to sleep except for the prisoners who were on guard duty.
My companions also fell into a deep sleep in the cabin of the carriage.

Contrary to them, my day started now.
I went to bed during the day, so my body has fully recovered.
It’s time to investigate the great magic, since the magic power has risen to a great extent.

“Remia.”

I called Rumi’s name quietly in the dark. Rumi, who was sitting on the shelf in her guest room, answered right away.

[Now you’re calling me, Wizard. I just wanted to have a proper conversation. Because I was watching the magician-nim complete the great magic.]
“You mean you’ve been watching it all from the beginning? It’s nice that I don’t have to explain again.”

Rumi’s voice in her head now trembled with excitement unlike her usual.
Knowing the identity of my great magic, in fact, she was the most surprising person of hers.

Rumi’s great magic to summon Ego Book.
Imagine someone replicating her magic in one day, which she had perfected over hundreds of years of painstaking work.

If she had been a small person, she would have had enough of making a fuss about her not to cheat. It will stimulate her pride as a wizard.
Fortunately, Rumi wasn’t particularly angry.
She’s just expressing her admiration purely.

[Is it a great magic that duplicates magic? It’s such a bizarre ability that it’s hard to find a parallel in history. I’ve never even heard of such great magic being manifested.]
“You mean there has never been a great magic with the ability to replicate?”
[The modifier ‘unique’ is not attached to great magic for nothing. The old master will be very surprised to hear this news.]

Aside from having amazing abilities.
First of all, I want to know about the specific effect of Luke’s great magic.
I wanted to hear Rumi’s advice here. Is there a way to analyze your abilities without breaking a sweat?

“I want to ask you something.”
[What is it?]
“Is there a way to accurately analyze the ability of great magic? Is it possible to find out what limitations it has?”
[Other wizards will have to do their own analysis. But in the case of the mage, you can quickly figure out the ability. I have a useful tool in my library that can measure the power of great magic.]

I didn’t expect much, but I heard a positive answer.

It’s also Remiemon.

It never disappoints its master at any time.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Rumi suddenly gave me a bamboo helicopter one day.

[Come to the library. I will prepare to measure the ability of great magic and wait.]

10 minutes after that.
I arrived at Rumi’s library.

A green-haired sorceress was waiting for me in the spacious hall of the library.

“…Yes?”

But as soon as I met Rumi, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
It was because the head of a huge person was lying next to Rumi.

I’m not kidding.
A head as big as a rock is staring straight ahead with its eyes wide open.
It was a face with smooth skinheads and a blunt nose.

What kind of surreal landscape is this?
The head is too big to be considered a human corpse?

“Heeheeeee!”
[Do not be surprised. It’s just a severed head.]

I saw a severed head, how can I not be surprised!

In my panic, I heard Rumi’s voice in my ears.

[After all, this head is my father. Now is your chance to introduce your father to the mage. You can say that he is the wisest person in the world.]
