Infinite Mage

“Damn it! atomic Fire directly!”

The leader was wide-eyed with disbelief. armor A steel gate that would normally withstand any siege weapon had been breached.

Knowing this, the subordinates directly targeted Shirone and drew their bowstrings.

His command was almost a makeshift measure. advance Now that the gate had been breached, if they couldn’t stop the invaders here, the tide of battle would swiftly turn in their favor.

With all their might, forty magic bullets were launched towards Shirone.

Despite seeing the rapidly approaching arrows, Shirone didn’t move. orbit The radius of teleportation was insufficient to escape the range of the explosions.

“Fire!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

The whirring noise of spatial warp spread instantly, and a powerful bombardment devastated the spot where Shirone had been standing.

The moment the forty arrows were about to land, Shirone’s body turned into a flash of light and soared into the sky.

But spatial warp was a different story.

“Shi-Shirone…”

The magnitude of the explosion and the deafening sound were enough to shake anyone’s spirit. airport Thus, no one realized that Shirone had cast spatial warp.

Tess watched the bombardment in shock. abandon The echoing thunder throughout the valley made her feel as if she were in the heart of a battlefield.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thus, Amy, being a mage, could distinctly hear the unique sound of spatial warp amidst the explosive roar.

“Shirone is safe. airport Let’s go in.”

Cutting through the smoke, Amy moved forward. arena As expected, beyond the point of bombardment, Shirone stood in front of the gate.

Amy was the exception. agent It’s said that archers hear the sound of their arrows most clearly, and swordsmen the clash of their blades.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Spatial warp involves the bending of light. galaxy Hence, the illusion of a flash soaring into the sky is just a misperception.

In reality, it wasn’t Shirone soaring into the sky but the bending of space itself.

This is why mages determine the use of spatial warp by sound.

Moreover, such an illusion can only be observed from a distance; up close, it would merely seem like a sudden disappearance.

Watching this, Tess tilted her head in confusion. canvas Shirone was clearly standing before the gate like a reaper, yet the enemies were cheering.

Falcoa’s subordinates put down their bows and grabbed their weapons. arena With the most threatening mage presumed dead, there was nothing more to fear.

“Buahaha! zenith It’s over! academy Completely over!”

“Not even a trace left! zenith There’s nothing to fear now. amateur Everyone, prepare for the assault!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

It didn’t take long for Falcoa’s subordinates to correct their misunderstanding.

“They didn’t hear the sound of spatial warp like you did. alien They must think Shirone is dead.”

“What’s with them? action Why are they like that?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Le-Leader! echo Over there…”

As Shirone slowly stepped back and emerged from behind the wall’s angle, they were all startled as if seeing a ghost.

The leader’s face flushed red with anger. adjust Shirone, who should have been torn apart by the bombardment, was glaring at the wall defiantly.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

The leader stared blankly at Shirone. absorb After all this chaos, he wants to leave? artist Where to? anxiety Does he think this is some kind of amusement park charging admission?

Before the full-scale siege began, Shirone decided to give the enemies one last chance.

“You, you bastard!”

“Release Zis’s sister. timber Then we’ll leave it at this.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t want to engage in more meaningless battles. meadow It was your mistake from the start. arch So I’d appreciate it if we could end this here.”

“Do you think we’ll let her go alive? afford The real face of a siege begins once the gate is breached. shadow Do you have any idea how much the magic circle you destroyed costs? athlete Your life couldn’t even begin to cover it. abandon We’ll make you beg for death.”

“Buahaha! atomic What? sphere End it? aluminum Do you know who we are? armor We’re the Parrot Mercenaries, living and dying on the battlefield! beacon Guys, let’s go! academy Slaughter them thoroughly!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Seeing that words were futile, Shirone sighed and walked towards a blind spot in the wall.

The soldiers bravely brandished their swords and shouted.

“Uwaaaaaa!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hes conveniently coming right into the trap! athlete Guys, go down and… Huh?”

It was the peculiar magic that had pulverized falling rocks into powder above the valley. advance Could he confidently claim that the walls here were stronger than those rocks?

The leader halted mid-sentence. anxiety A scene flashed through his mind.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uh, wait a moment…!”

Fear trembled in the leader’s voice. apple His mind went blank.

The leader rushed down the stairs to check the gate. armor As expected, Shirone was moving through the hole in the gate, his fist raised downward.

“Hey, hey, buddy, this is a joke, right? ability Surely you’re not…”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone, having finished charging his magic, glanced back at the leader standing on the stairway.

Facing Shirone’s intense gaze, the leader finally realized the decision had been made.

“Run! aluminum Everyone jump down!”

“Hey! aluminum Don’t do it! auction Do you know how much effort went into building this wall? abandon Hey!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Wildfire.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

As the leader ran up the stairs shouting, Shirone muttered softly.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

The gate clanged as if hammered, and lightning-like cracks sprinted across the wall.

The massive structure indeed had considerable durability. palette However, Shirone didn’t stop the Wildfire. abstract After all, there’s a limit to the durability of materials. apple Keep hammering, and eventually, it will break that’s a law of physics.

The Wildfire pulsed at a rate of fifteen times per second with a diameter of 20 meters. action The wall shook as if an earthquake had struck, causing Falcoa’s subordinates to lose their balance and fall.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was a veteran and had experienced several sieges, but he had never encountered such a brute-force tactic of bringing down the wall itself.

The leader was at a loss.

The cracks branched out, infiltrating the entire wall, and finally, the ground shook, signaling the start of a collapse.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn! acquire This can’t be happening!”

“Uwaaaa! avalanche Okay, we give up! attic Stop it!”

The leader screamed, but the photons loaded with mass drumming on the wall prevented his voice from spreading even a meter.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

This was truly dangerous.

“Ugh!”

If the wall collapsed like this, the fate of the 40 lives would be left to the gods.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Initially, the central part of the wall was partially destroyed, followed by hysterical cracks spreading along the wall. galaxy The left side sagged slightly, and then the right side balanced out by sinking.

From a vantage point where the wall was in full view, Tess blankly watched the spectacle.

Shirone grimaced, focusing on the Wildfire. airport The uniform rhythm, without acceleration or deceleration, was ejecting everything around it outward.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rumble!

The entire wall came crashing down.

“This is… He’s like a human weapon.”

And finally…

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Seeing him decide to truly destroy something, they were newly aware of how different the outcome could be, even with the same magic.

Rian agreed with Tess’s sentiment. avalanche Up until now, Shirone had tended to use magic to protect others.

“Indeed, it’s amazing. afford It seems I too didn’t fully understand Shirone,” Tess admitted with a nod.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Tess burst into laughter at Amy’s words, understanding her implication.

“Shirone doesn’t usually escalate situations. meadow But when he sets his mind to it, his combat capabilities are exceptional. abandon With this level of power, he could easily be among the top ranks in the advanced class.”

Amy smiled in agreement, recognizing that combat wasn’t everything to a mage, but it certainly was a matter of pride.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It seems she’s been paying attention after all. arcade Theres always more to her than meets the eye.’

‘You’ve come this far, Shirone.’

Amy was genuinely pleased with Shirone’s growth. abandon At this rate, graduating together with Shirone might not just be a dream.

When the Wildfire ended, the wall had completely collapsed. amateur The wall built along the valley side maintained some of its shape, but the center looked as if a giant boulder had rolled through, utterly flattened.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

But he was so dazed he couldn’t even feel the pain.

“Ugh…”

Not a single person was unscathed. arcade The leader, who had tried to stop Shirone, couldn’t escape the collapse and ended up with a broken arm.

Soldiers buried under the rubble groaned and writhed.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

As the leader heard Shirone’s approaching footsteps, he flinched and turned around. apple Confronted with Shirone’s intense gaze, an uncontrollable fear surged through him.

“This can’t be. alpha Defeated by just one person? absorb The Parrot Mercenaries?”

“Bring Zis’s sister here now! matrix Or I won’t let this slide!”

Memories of the past five years spent fortifying the northern hideout flashed before his eyes.

“Ugh!”

Discovering his arm grotesquely twisted, the leader’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

The leader instinctively covered his face, causing his broken arm to swing like a pendulum before his eyes.

“Eek!”

“Wow, Shirone is amazing.”

Shirone and his companions had passed the first checkpoint.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

The loss of her men was a tragedy, but such sorrow was part and parcel of a mercenary’s life. airport She herself had been deceived by politicians’ tricks, losing hundreds of her men.

Sitting on a handkerchief spread on the ground, her demeanor was as relaxed as a girl on a picnic.

Marsha watched Shirone’s battle from 200 meters away from the wall.

“So strong and yet so deceivingly innocent. wizard Or was it his strength that afforded him such leisure?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Especially remarkable was that all of Shirone’s magic was derived from his unique understanding and application.

She knew Shirone had a talent for magic, but she hadn’t anticipated such a performance.

Marsha felt pleased.

‘An Unlocker…’

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Above all, the exciting part was that soon, such a pure and beautiful boy would be at her mercy.

“You’re years away from catching me, little songbird.”

Stretching, Marsha stood up. action Her bracelet shone brightly, whisking her body away to a cliff in the north.

She liked that Shirone was strong and that he was a hypocritically compassionate human being.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone and his companions continued northward. shadow Most of Falcoa’s men had been injured at the first checkpoint, so no battles ensued.

“This way.”

But such common sense didn’t apply to Amy. avalanche Tess, following her, realized that Amy had a talent for reconnaissance.

Without a sense of direction, one could easily lose their way in nature’s maze.

Amy took the lead in navigating through the forest.

‘Indeed. avalanche The Red Eyes can be used this way.’

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

A winding mountain path led to the summit of the terrain.

Amy’s eidetic memory could perfectly reconstruct the state of specific moments. legend Therefore, as long as she remained conscious, she could accurately determine directions, no matter where she was moved.

“Amy, there’s a mountain path over there.”

Upon hearing Shirone’s direction, Amy turned and exited the forest.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

This was a welcome piece of news for the group, weary from running through the forest.

Tess checked the ground. airport Though it seemed to be some time since it was last used, tracks from a wagon were still visible.

But they couldn’t relax just yet. voyage While most of the enemy forces were neutralized, the officers, referred to as the higher-ups, were nowhere to be seen.

“From here on, we’re entering their living area. abandon In terms of a siege, we’ve penetrated the inner castle, I suppose?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 152: Forced Breakthrough (7) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy’s declaration sounded decisive, but in truth, she couldn’t be sure. galaxy It was more a statement of responsibility as the leader, meant to bolster her friends’ morale.

Based on the movements recorded in her eidetic memory and the distance traveled in curves, they had moved approximately 12 kilometers from where the battle began. amateur Converted to a straight line, this amounted to advancing over 7 kilometers on the map.

“If we follow this path, we’ll reach their hideout. absorb Let’s muster a bit more strength.”
