Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

99 – Defeat Declaration

Sara’s Trait 「Sage’s Eye」

It was the best attribute suited to a mage, as much as Viet’s “Endless Casting”. The attribute rank is SS rank.

Simply in terms of rank, the [Sage’s Eye] Is superior to Ralph and Viette’s characteristics.

[Sage’s Eye] Has two effects.

The first is ‘understanding the essence’

This is the ability to recognize the characteristics of the target’s mana in the format of color and shape. In other words, it is the power to understand the essence of the object.

Viette, reflected in the eyes of the sage, had a colorful radiance wrapped around her back. It was a very good expression of Viet’s mana, which freely handles fire, water, wood, gold and earth attributes. Every time I saw that dazzling light, I was reminded of a beautiful opal, and Viet was actually a jewel in the magic world.

Ralph’s mana is a bright daylight color. If you look closely, it is a daylight color with a slight iridescent color. It contains many colors, but when the colors are combined, it becomes a warm light. This explains the essence of Ralph, which is based on attribute magic, but leans toward healing magic.

Sarah can read the essence of the opponent she sees for the first time with [Sage’s Eye]. This meant that she always had an advantage in information warfare.

Essence contains a lot of information. It does not simply depend on the target’s abilities or skills, but the process or method of training, fighting style, and even the way of thinking affect the essence. It is safe to say that what the sage’s eyes see is the life of the target.

Then that man

What is the essence of the man who introduced himself as Mecha?

The sage’s eye, which had never betrayed itself before, refused to provide information to itself for the first time. In Sarah’s eyes, the mecha was an open hole itself. It was like seeing a ghost.

‘Can’t you see!?’

This is my first time ever. Her eyes consistently showed their true nature, no matter how strong or how weak they were. If it covered the opponent, “Sage’s Eye” Would never have had the rank of the SS attribute. That’s why Sarah couldn’t take this situation calmly.

That wasn’t the only problem. The second effect of [Sage’s Eye].

It was ‘skill understanding’.

Understanding the essence targets a certain entity, while understanding the skill targets a certain skill. In simple terms, you can visually see the principle of the skill.

Skill expression is composed of several complex mechanisms. However, if you disassemble the skill individually, you can draw a blueprint, but [Sage’s Eye] Gave you the power to see such a blueprint.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can easily copy a skill you’ve seen once. If you bring the blueprint for the magic tower to an ignorant rural villager and entrust it with construction, will you be able to raise the building properly?

Analyzing a skill and using it were two different things. Theoretical understanding is a necessary condition for skill use, but not a sufficient condition.

In order to acquire a skill, not only theoretical understanding, but also various efforts are required. The reason skill books are expensive is because they allow you to skip those intermediate steps.

Just because you can’t easily copy a skill with just theory doesn’t mean that the value of “Sage’s Eye” Is fading. To understand a skill is to identify its weaknesses and strengths. Even if you can’t copy a skill, you can respond optimally to that skill.

This information was very useful to Sara, who was familiar with various attribute magics like Viet. It means useful information that changes the game of battle.

‘What skills does Mecca use?’

Aunt Viet, who confirmed that the attack had gone in vain, cast her magic again. The magic strengthened by the power of [Endless Casting] Is directed towards the mecha. There are a total of three types.

A huge arrow that flies with fluttering flames.

A spear of water that shoots in a spiral.

A piece of rock protruding forward with a pointed cross section like a broken mirror.

This attack is dangerous. Aunt Viet’s output exceeded the limits of her family’s duelist protection magic. If the opponent had not calmly received the previous attack, he would never have used this kind of magic.

‘Mr. Mecha still doesn’t move. I’m going to stop it.’

The fire water magic combination was a very tricky combo attack from a defensive standpoint. This is because a pinpoint strategy of defending with the opposite of one attribute is impossible, even though various attribute attacks are applied at the same time. It was the typical way Aunt Viet cooked for her opponent.

However.

Cuckoo!

All the magic attacks created was a loud roar. As before, Mecha stopped the attack without retreating a single step. The translucent shield that appeared around him blocked all magic.

Sarah checked the skill of the mecha with [Sage’s Eye].

‘It’s a shield!’

Sarah was shocked again. It was a series of surprises. It’s almost to the point where I wonder if the [Sage’s Eye] Is out of order.

Previously, he showed the man’s true nature like an open hole, but this time, he told me that the skill he used was ‘Shield’.

Shield is the most basic defense magic. The skill rank is only D-class.

It is a magic that any wizard can learn, but it is an easy, simple, and weak magic.

Of course, like all skills, the power of magic does not simply lie in the magic itself. The power of magic depends on who the user is. The shield of Ralph Leoris, the sage of discovery, and the shield of the novice wizard who just entered the academy this year are not the same.

However, there is an intrinsic limit to the skill. This is an undeniable premise. That’s why wizards work so hard to learn high-level magic.

By the way, that man, Mecha, blocked all of Aunt Viette’s magic, which was at least B-class, with only D-class skills.

‘The common sense I know is being ruined!’

Sarah felt that the magic theory she had learned so far collapsed like a tower of cards.

—

“Haa… ! Ha… !”

Viette Leoris is breathing heavily.

Her characteristic [Endless Casting] Is a characteristic that guarantees high firepower and at the same time requires enormous mana consumption. It is a strong victory card for short-term battles, but it is not suitable for long-term battles.

Her defeat was that she couldn’t finish the fight even though she used her deadly combination twice. Of course, the root cause of her defeat is the difference in skills. Bringing victory against ‘Merrick Car’ in the ending spec is impossible for Viet now.

Anyway, it took me a while to use only D-class or lower basic magic, just like in Droea. It’s because of the restrictions placed on the ‘Ring of Tradition’.

[Collect traits to unlock the ring!]

Seeing that the notification window informs you like that, it seems that skill restrictions disappear when you collect a lot of attributes.

I have to work hard to raise Sara’s affinity for that.

“Are you going to do more?”

She shrugged and looked at Viet. Viette stares at me with her lips pursed and tired eyes.

Choosing your breath itself is admitting that your momentum has weakened. “Endless Casting” Does not give more than 5 seconds of leeway. Already, at this point, her combo is broken.

Of course, her mana consumption would return to normal and it would be advantageous for a long-term battle, but the situation had already turned this way. Furthermore, now Viet would only have enough mana to blow her skills twice. Estimating a character’s mana is an easy task for me, a rotten water.

“How did you do that?”

“You seem to be getting a lot of similar questions lately.”

“If you see your magic, everyone will say that. Are my eyes wrong? It looked like a shield….”

Viet turned her head towards Sarah. Sarah is deploying the “Sage’s Eye”. She’s probably asking her for her confirmation.

Unlike her who guesses from her experience, Sarah’s sage eye shows objective facts.

“It’s a shield…. If my eyes weren’t wrong.”

Sarah’s voice was unsure.

“That’s too much. No matter how much the skill changes according to the taste of the user, this shield is out of standard.”

Viet shook her head. She could see that her will to fight was completely broken.

“To think that I, a member of the Leoris family, would say such a thing…. I don’t know the world.”

“Can I consider this a declaration of defeat?”

“……Yes, I lost.”

Viette shakes her head and declares defeat.

Her trembling eyes stayed on me.

“I’ll let you meet my older brother. By the way, can you teach me?”

“You mean my skills? If you’re like Viet-sama, you know about shield magic, right?”

“Really, pure shield? I’ve never heard of a shield like that.”

“Miss Sara guaranteed it.”

She shrugs and shifts the burden of proof to Sarah. Actually, Sarah’s eyes are still full of doubts. Are you saying that she won’t believe it even if she sees it with the “Sage’s eyes”?

[Question: I mastered the skill, but it doesn’t seem to be as good as the old character specs in the strategy video. What are you doing?]

-What strategy video?

↳Nick mention ㄱㄴ?

↳Only with initial consonants

↳ Passive skill called ‘Apocalypse’ is required. It’s a D-class skill, but it can be farmed at Golden Merchants.

↳Skill Name Kolinung

↳Jn seems like a good skill, but is it D-class?

↳Only slots are occupied until one skill is mastered. A typical late game oriented skill.

↳ㅇㅇ And it only applies to C-grade or lower skills.

↳If it goes beyond that, it will be like a bell. If you apply that, you can use D-class skills almost like S-class.

↳ ㄹㅇ?

↳But the trap is to master D-class skills hahahaha In that case, just use S-class

↳I heard it in the strategy video

↳The bastard is a pervert then. It’s rotten water, so I play a lot like a pervert. Beginners do not follow.

However, the skill I used was honestly ‘Shield’. It’s a D-class skill that everyone is familiar with. Of course, it’s a trap to throw ‘climax’ on it.

‘Peak’ is a D-class skill, but it is a rare skill that can only be obtained from gold merchants. Mastering the skill allows D-class skills to have effects comparable to those of S-class.

“It’s time to meet Sir Leoris. Viet. I look forward to.”

Speaking Korean characters clearly with politeness. Seeing her body tremble, it seems that she took it in a different way.

“Ehh… !”

A face flushed with resentment.

Really, it’s delicious.

—

I was defeated. To the nameless wizard himself, the enemy of the Leoris family.

There is no shame in losing itself. Ralph Leoris, his brother, always said. Winning or losing is a sick boss.

It’s not an open sparring in front of the public, so there’s no fear of damaging the family’s honor. That is, unless the other person makes fun of his mouth in a fair way.

It wasn’t the result of sparring that brought Viet’s humiliation. It was a process.

‘I was only defeated by D-class magic?’

I even used [Characteristics] To attack myself. It was a duel in the name of the family, so he had the heart to show his true self. His nephew was watching, so there was a lot of strength in his shoulders.

However, I couldn’t get past D-class magic and lost. It was a complete, pointless defeat. That’s why Viet couldn’t accept the fact that his opponent used D-class magic all the more.

‘Yes! There must be something more!’

It was surprisingly the same mindset as Droea. Actually, that was normal. It doesn’t make sense to say that a wizard of about Viet’s level is blocked by D-class magic and raises the white flag.

‘There’s something Sarah’s eyes haven’t seen. What is it?’

I don’t think I’ll be able to figure it out even if I tilt my head right now. It is a magic that hides an elaborate design that Sara’s eyes have not seen. It would be impossible even if an Archmage class came to find out right away.

The desire to explore as a wizard raises its head. Viet’s mind was filled with curiosity about magic in a way he had never seen before.

Viette is the owner of the meteor tower and the most active researcher in the royal capital. His curiosity about the unknown was greater than anyone else’s.

‘If you coax that guy out and find out about magic…. Isn’t that a dog’s advantage!?’

Let’s think positively. To be defeated is to be defeated. Although he lost face in front of his nephew, wouldn’t it be a good deal if he learned magic knowledge from this guy?

‘Okay. I need to get a little closer to this guy! I can’t teach you such important magic easily!’

In a place where John couldn’t think of, an insidious plan against him was secretly set up.

“Here. My brother’s study.”

From noble mtl dot com

A wooden door made of wood blocked the way for Viet, Mecca, and Sarah. A door with a handle in the shape of a lion. The handle was made of pure gold.

Viette knocked on the doorknob of the lion handle.

“Older brother. Are you inside?”
