Infinite Mage

Unlike Amy’s multiple spheres, having just one made it easier to increase its density.

As Amy predicted, the mage was tense. alien Of course, she had never quantified the power of her magic, so it was uncertain how high she could score.

The mage returned with a serious expression and conjured a sphere of fire between her palms.

“He’s focusing the firepower, isn’t he? legend Desperate to win.”

The mage thrust her hands forward vigorously.

But it seemed unlikely that she would struggle to triple the output of a Lightning Arrow.

Under the control of the mage’s Spirit Zone, inertia was ignored, so there was no need for special motions to cast magic.

“Ta-ha!”

Yet, adopting a shooting stance was the mage’s flailing attempt to increase her focus even by a bit.

The mage looked at the orb with hopeful eyes, but soon her face fell.

Amy followed the Fireball with her eyes. portal The fabric of the maze absorbed the fire, creating a whirlwind of flames.

The score was 1,330. canvas Just 310 points higher than the Lightning Arrow.

“How could this be? agent No! wizard It’s because the firepower was dispersed. audit It should have exceeded 2,000.”

No one responded to the mage’s voice.

A significant difference for a swordsman judged solely on physical prowess, but in the realm of magic where phenomena were manipulated, it was much of a muchness.

The archer thought it was already hopeless to pass through here. auction The girl who scored over 3,000 points must be the highest level here.

The difference was too great. adjust No matter what, she couldn’t surpass Amy’s score.

Even a mage revered as sacred in the mercenary world scored only 1,330. attic That she exhibited more than double that magical power meant she was at least the most talented of her age group.

Not to belittle Shirone’s skills, but Amy was his senior at school. artist If she, an advanced student, failed, it was expected that Shirone would struggle to surpass her.

Rian and Tess thought similarly.

Amy alone didn’t think this was the end.

“Got it. audit I’ll give it my best.”

The leader snickered, dripping with sarcasm.

“Ha! acquire What good is giving your best? august It’s about the results. arrow It’s over. atlas Let’s pack up and go.”

“Shirone, you need to take this seriously. album It might just be a narrow miss.”

Shirone closed his eyes and performed the Sequence Method. atlas A faint point of light emerged in front of him. autumn Then, countless photons swarmed towards the center, increasing in size.

“What, what’s this? auction Photon Output? absorb How is that supposed to make an impact?”

Shirone realized something from the leader’s readiness to give up without trying. artist The fabric of the maze, known as the Eye of the Angel. timber What was her purpose in creating such an altar?

The fleeting insight had to be shelved for now. absorb The priority was to focus on the task at hand.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The mage exclaimed in disbelief. arctic Yet, she couldn’t take her eyes off Shirone due to the unusual force not typically seen in regular Photon Output.

Gritting his teeth, Shirone fired the Photon Cannon. echo The beam of light stretched at near-light speed, striking the fabric of the maze as if to shatter it.

Even the mercenaries, who initially had low expectations, were captivated by the brilliance of the flash, anxiously awaiting the score.

As Shirone opened his eyes wide, a fist-sized white sphere vibrated as if furious.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Light holds no special firepower. anxiety It’s defined solely by the product of speed and mass.

4,783.

The unexpected number made everyone’s eyes widen.

Especially the mage and archer, who were appalled, as Shirone had used Photon Output.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, there was no time to ponder further thoughts. audit Despite the tremendous impact, the fabric of the maze proudly emitted a red light, indicating failure.

The mercenaries began to feel uneasy. absorb They didn’t know the principle behind Shirone’s magic, but it was clear that none among them could withstand it.

Yet, the score was 4,783. voyage To put it in perspective, it was akin to the impact of 20 warriors, each opting for a strength-enhancement build, striking with all their might.

“What in the world are those?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps 5,000 points were the passing threshold. shadow But it seemed unlikely that the Photon Cannon could be more powerful than this.

“I wish I could try one more time.”

Shirone felt drained. album What kind of orb was this?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t know. adjust Maybe a laser would work.”

Amy covered her mouth, chuckling as if she had been waiting.

“Ho-ho! alpha Do you understand how I feel? admire I felt the same. echo But really, how many points are needed to pass?”

“Oh, right! audit A laser can accumulate energy.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone’s laser vibrated molecules, increasing its destructive power over time. palette Theoretically, it could destroy anything, making it perfect for this kind of assessment.

There’s a next turn. canvas We’ll have to try after a full round. alien What about you? zenith Are you not going to try?”

As the scores escalated with each turn, the thought of stepping forward seemed impossible. athlete As a swordsman, his best score might barely reach around 200 points.

Shirone addressed the leader, but he just stood there, grimacing.

The group turned around in confusion to see a man with white tattoos saying,

“Damn it! amateur It’s over! arcade We have nothing left but to go back.”

The leader walked towards the entrance with urgent strides, but no matter how much he twisted the doorknob, the iron door wouldn’t budge.

Understanding dawned on the group with the archer’s translation. portal The rule wasn’t just about unifying will but also about actions aligning.

“Ah! armor This is so annoying! atlas Why keep insisting on something so obviously futile?”

“You are one. acquire If one receives an assessment, all must be assessed. audit You cannot leave before that.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘So it is. timber This rule is truly cruel.’

Complaints poured from the leader’s mouth, but to leave, he had no choice but to prove his worth.

Shirone felt a chill.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a peculiar evaluation method. adapt In terms of firepower alone, mages had an advantage over Swordsmen.

Trust among comrades.

Why hadn’t he realized it until now? ability All the rules explained by the man with white tattoos were based on one premise.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The narrow octagonal altar and the eight orbs.

Moreover, measuring the power of magic was problematic. auction If Amy, specializing in long-range magic, had attempted Sniper Mode, she might have scored much higher. legend But this place didn’t consider such variables.

But that didn’t mean Swordsmen were weaker than mages. alpha Even if a mage could shatter rocks and cleave the earth, a Swordsman specialized in biological combat could slice through that mage in one stroke.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why? aspect What was the meaning behind it?

What was most peculiar was the divine language. apple The fabric of the maze measured impact and displayed it numerically.

‘Why eight? altitude Just for aesthetic balance? riddle But in reality, didn’t we all evaluate using just one orb?’

If it was to distinguish those heading to Kergos, indicating pass or fail would suffice.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The sacrifice of one to send another.

The score variance according to one’s specialty could be vast. abandon In such a situation, requiring everyone to be evaluated created a single emotion.

‘Obsession with scores. palette Anxiety when a comrade scores higher. palette Disdain when scoring lower. amateur Without a perfect understanding of each other’s roles, discord is inevitable. auction And what awaits at the end of that rule is…’

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone took a deep breath. anxiety What was the maze thinking? accent This evaluation was designed to pit them against each other.

Amy whispered, tension evident in her eyes, perhaps sharing the same thoughts.

“Shirone, let’s just leave after this guy’s done.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Without pausing to breathe, the leader charged. legend Although he was sprinting, to Shirone, it seemed as if he was fleeing from something.

As expected, the leader was at a loss. armor He could sense a change in his fellow mercenaries’ gaze.

Rian and Tess also wore grave expressions, sensitive to the atmosphere emphasizing comradeship, and quickly grasped the intention behind the rule, which clearly disadvantaged Swordsmen.

“Huff, huff, aaaaah!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Gasping for breath, he swung his sword in a fall, and the imprecise blade struck beside the orb, bouncing off.

“Damn!”

Was his Schema fully opened? atlas Where was his sword positioned? avalanche How far was the target? silence Without knowing any of these, his steps faltered, and he stumbled.

The leader, attempting to escape the maze and the altar, hurriedly regained his balance and turned back.

“So what! adapt It wouldn’t have passed anyway! timber I did it, so let’s just leave!”

The leader exited the altar with a forced bravado, but his steps were directed away from his comrades.

The number 32 floated there.

But no one laughed. airport The comrades’ expressions were as if they had faced a tremendous humiliation.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone thought it was time to give up. airport It was regrettable not to try again, but he couldn’t do more with the trust among the mercenaries broken.

‘That party is over. aspect They’ll probably disband once they leave here.’

“Could you translate for me, please?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone asked the archer. abandon Even if they were to leave, he wanted to confirm one thing.

“Has anyone ever passed through this gate before?”

“Sure. accent What do you want to ask?”

The archer, seemingly disillusioned by the current situation, readily agreed.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s a gate meant for passing. silence Its not a trap.”

“How many points are needed to pass through the fabric of the maze?”

The man with white tattoos nodded firmly.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

After pondering for a moment, Shirone asked one last question.

“The eight eyes of the angel will judge you.”

The man repeated his initial statement. riddle It all came down to the fabric of the maze’s decision.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s the passing rate of those who’ve come here?”

He had thought there might be no passers at all, assuming the maze’s design by Miro wasn’t just about assessing skills.

Shirone was startled. arcade The rate was much higher than expected.

“I don’t know exactly. antique Sometimes many come, sometimes just one. anxiety From what I’ve seen, about one in ten pass. agent The rate seems higher when they’re alone.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Headmaster is really a trickster.”

“Shirone, why the sudden change?”

Shirone’s smiling lips quivered. afford A shiver ran up his spine.

Of course, that view hadn’t changed. airport But the man with white tattoos clearly stated there were passers, at a significant rate of 10 percent.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Although Amy was puzzled by his words, Shirone was too absorbed to respond. amateur Alpheas’s voice seemed to echo in his head.

“Huh? sphere What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

-Miro’s world can be roughly understood.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Sorry, Headmasterr, but I’ve come to know.’

Not roughly, but clearly. echo If one couldn’t overcome such a challenge, they weren’t meant to learn about Miro.

Shirone hadn’t given up. action He was determined to pass through here during the trip.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 141: The Labyrinth of Time (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then she wouldn’t either. arena Initially, she followed just to aid Shirone, but now she genuinely wanted to know about this woman named Miro.

Amy, noticing Shirone’s silence, guessed his thoughts.

‘Shirone hasn’t given up.’
