How a Catastrophe-Level Magician Lives

About 2 years have passed.

“Phew……”

Spring has arrived.

Frey, now sixteen years old, was sitting on the training ground floor.

Frey opened his eyes quietly after exhaling a breath he had been holding.

“……”

Not only had he completely mastered the entire series on [More Efficient Mana Release Methods],

Frey had also solved that important urgent problem.

He had succeeded in bringing the initiative in his contract with Sylvia, the Spirit King of Light, to his side.

Currently, the actual initiative in the contract was 6:4.

Frey was 6.

‘Over the past 2 years, fortunately, I succeeded in taking the initiative in the contract and sending Sylvia back to the spirit realm. Moreover.’

He had even created a new vision magic.
Auto Magic.

‘The inspiration that had been just out of reach until now has been sublimated into automatic magic called Auto Magic, which was the most valuable thing over the past 2 years.’

Auto Magic.
Also known as automatic magic.

This magic was a conditional reflex vision magic that blocks enemy magic and attacks in physical form on behalf of the caster, even without conscious awareness or recognition.

Whether it’s a sword, spear, bow, or magic.

An absurdly cheating vision magic that automatically responds to and blocks all these elements.

‘Moreover, to raise this auto magic to an even more efficient level, the magic I thought would be most compatible and harmonious with it as a combo skill.’

It was none other than body enhancement magic.
Body Build Up.

‘Body Build Up magic. With this magic, I applied my Magic Eyes as a medium to automatically link with the auto magic.’

Magic Eyes, which had differentiated performance from other magicians, with the core being shortening the casting time of silent incantations.

He had succeeded in linking a total of three magics – that magic, auto magic, and body enhancement magic – into one, to deploy automatically even without conscious awareness.

‘It’s an incredible magic. A new unique vision magic of my own that combines and recreates a total of three magics into one.’

Its effect was beyond imagination.

It was to the extent that it could even predict an overwhelming victory in a one-on-one match against the human form of Sylvia, the Spirit King of Light.

‘Just with that alone, I managed to take a considerable portion of the initiative in the contract with Sylvia. This was because humans have some advantage in contract fulfillment over spirits from the beginning, even without doing anything, when contracting with spirits.’

In other words, when a human from the human realm and a spirit from the spirit realm first contract, the contract structure itself is established from the beginning at about 7:3.s are 7.
Spirits are 3.
The reason for this was that the spirit, which was in the spirit realm for the contract, becomes a semi-material state when summoned to the material human realm.

The spirit, which was just a pure spiritual body, naturally becomes a semi-material form in the process of crossing over to be summoned to the human realm, allowing it to have some direct influence on the human realm.

‘However, it’s practically impossible for an ordinary human to contract with a being at the level of a Spirit King. You can see that just from the fact that the initial contract structure between Sylvia and me was 8:2.’

That’s why he had been at a disadvantage in the contract structure with Sylvia until now.

But now he could reach a level where he could match her ‘rank’ to some extent.

He could surpass the Spirit King of Light, even in her humanized state.

Just with that alone.
Frey was able to raise the rank of his soul, his essence.

The reason he could do this was probably because Sylvia was a being belonging to spirits, which were originally no different from spiritual bodies.

After defeating Sylvia, Frey achieved the feat of being able to absorb even some of that energy.

‘Even now, part of the power of Sylvia, the Spirit King of Light, exists and resides within me.’

It was directly connected to and contained in his mana heart.

Frey gently grasped his heart with one hand.

Already there, in the center of his mana heart, which had transformed into white, was a golden pattern engraved. This was Frey’s heart.

That golden pattern was proof that he had succeeded in surpassing the Spirit King of Light and evidence of the contract.

As a result, his mana had increased and strengthened several dozen times compared to before.

Moreover, for the past 2 years, Frey had been accumulating mana through full-body mana breathing techniques.

The mana he now possessed might be beyond the scope of common sense.

Frey finally stood up.

The weather was still a bit chilly as winter hadn’t fully passed yet.

‘Now, what I need is just one thing.’

Frey’s eyes were lowered.

What he was thinking of now was……

‘Light magic. To learn the higher level of that magic.’

And that higher level of magic was something he could learn through none other than Sylvia, the Spirit King of Light.

‘I happened to hear that higher level light-type magic could also be learned through Sylvia, who is also the Spirit King of Light… But even so, it wasn’t possible to learn all the highest level light-type magic through Sylvia alone.’

Frey started walking.

The place he was heading to now was a certain location.

‘That’s why I’m entering that ancient dungeon.’

Ancient dungeon.

About 200 years ago.

When Frey was still known by the alias of the Immortal Magician.

A mysterious ancient dungeon that was in an unexplored state, which he had accidentally discovered during a war in his previous life.

And something written in ancient runes on the cave wall at its entrance.

But it had already been discovered by someone else once before.

However.

‘The one who discovered that ancient dungeon was already dead, turned into a skeleton there. Fortunately. He had a book for learning those ancient runes in his possession before he died. It seemed that he too had brought it back there to translate and interpret those ancient runes early on.’

Thanks to that, Frey had already learned and studied ancient runes through his previous life.

After successfully interpreting the ancient runes written on the cave entrance wall, Frey…

Finally, came to know.

That place.

‘The highest level of light-type magic. It was a place where ancient magic books were sealed.’

So now.

Frey made all preparations and reported to the head of the family.

And now he was heading towards that unexplored ancient dungeon.

‘I’ve finished the minimum travel preparations. In a year, at the beginning of next year, I must enroll in that Argen Academy as the head of the family said. So until then….’

He explores and conquers the ancient dungeon.

All preparations were already complete.

He had his Magic Eyes, body enhancement magic, and auto magic all bundled together.

A disaster-level magic that even Sylvia, the Spirit King of Light, couldn’t land a proper hit on him for even a moment in human form.

‘Now it begins.’

Various magics and ancient magic that will become another disaster-level.

Until he obtains those highest level light-type magics.

And when he has achieved all that.

Frey will have reached a definite supreme realm.

At that high point called the peak…

Frey,
Set off on a journey.

A very brief journey.

Soon after,
Near the mysterious dungeon he had discovered in his previous life.

That is, arriving near the ancient dungeon,

Frey climbed down the cliff face.

The magic he used was none other than levitation magic.

It’s one of the non-elemental common magics.

‘Found it.’

Finally, Frey found and discovered the entrance.

‘It’s exactly the same as what I saw hundreds of years ago.’

The entrance he saw again looked like an ordinary wall.

However, Frey already knew that there was a barrier applied with some kind of magical effect.

‘Illusion magic. I didn’t know such magic was applied even in my previous life. During the war, when I was severely injured and cornered. To escape the pursuing enemies, I ended up jumping down to this cliff location. As I tried to lean my back against it, I just entered inside.’

It was truly by chance.
That he discovered this cave in his previous life.

Perhaps it was such a fate.

As if the god of fate had arranged it in advance for him in this life.

‘At that time, even though I knew something was here, I couldn’t go any further and could only use it as a space to rest and recover my injured body sufficiently.’

The reason for this was after going to both places at the first fork in the cave.

One side was a clear lake situated inside the cave.

The other side was clearly the path leading to the end of the cave.

‘One of the two forked paths was a spring of recovery. It was a mysterious small lake containing energy that increases natural healing power. To the extent that it seemed strange to find such a thing in a cave like this.’

And the other was because of the deformed monsters that blocked his advance, preventing him from proceeding further at that time.

‘The appearance of those monster creatures was like demons from some myth. However, they were just monsters with appearances like wingless demons or demons with a single horn.’

He had immediately tried various magics when confronted with them, but to no avail.

None of the magic he possessed worked on them at all.

‘Magic resistance.’

It was because they all uniformly possessed an outer skin with overwhelmingly strong magic resistance as a basic element.

‘Fortunately, I knew that for some reason they wouldn’t chase any further if I escaped to the fork in the road.’

What he learned afterwards was that he barely managed to discover that there was also some kind of magical barrier at the entrance of that fork.

A magic with such subtle energy that even he, who was learning magic, could hardly notice due to its secrecy…

‘This time, I will defeat those creatures and advance inside.’

And.

‘I will definitely, absolutely obtain the highest level light-type magic.’

Frey von Betelgeuse.
His obsession with exploring and obtaining magic was so intense that it was beyond what an ordinary person could approach.

He then carefully began to enter and advance towards one of the two forked paths.
The place where the deformed demon monsters appear.
