Infinite Mage

Shirone was sure of the answer, despite the silence from Marsha.

However, something still felt off. silence If the condition for lifting the magic-stealing spell was merely contact, maintaining distance made sense.

“Touching someone who’s had their magic stolen will break the Pillage spell?”

Shirone’s eyes widened. alert Everything now became clear in his mind.

“I’ve got it! silence A mental gap. alien Marsha isn’t perfect.”

But the problem was that Marsha was in a far too advantageous position. alien She had stolen numerous spells involving the Particle of God, while Shirone himself could only rely on Windcutter.

Wasn’t this a fight worth engaging in? athlete Yet she had moved dozens of meters away, as if terrified.
“A mindless Unregulated Eater…”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“An Unregulated Eater is a being with mental distortion. atom To harness such overwhelming power, their trauma must have been there from the start.”

It was a simple matter when he thought about it. ability If magic could be stolen just through contact, who would be able to defeat her? atomic There had to be a price involved.

Shirone didn’t know what it was, but it had to relate to the trauma behind the Unregulated Eater.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thus, he couldn’t come closer. arcade Shirone had figured out how to break the Pillage spell, greatly increasing the chances of triggering that price.

“But she’s stolen countless spells up to now. accent How did she survive back then?”

Marsha feared not losing the stolen magic, but the terrifying consequence that would follow immediately after breaking the spell.

There was no time to waste. riddle Marsha was only stalling for time until reinforcements arrived.

Magic deprivation achieved at the cost of her greatest suffering.

The answer came quickly. voyage As soon as Shirone found it, he charged at Marsha.

Shirone was no longer afraid. voyage There was still enough time. acquire He had to capture Marsha before the reinforcements arrived.

Conversely, if he wasn’t that afraid, the magic-stealing spell wouldn’t exist in the first place.

If Shirone risked triggering that price, Marsha wouldn’t dare fight.

“I can do this! echo I can get my magic back!”

“Hik!”

Marsha let out a groan and moved further away. august Her face grew pale even if Shirone just closed in a little. amateur Her playful speech and charming expressions had vanished.

Having found hope, Shirone relentlessly pursued Marsha. action Though tracking down a mage with Teleportation was nearly impossible on foot, he couldn’t stop with the life-stealing thief right in front of him.

At Tess’s shout, Shirone looked up. legend Ten streaks of light thundered down from the sky.

“Shirone! adjust Watch out!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marsha’s face brightened for the first time, while Shirone was so disheartened he could hardly keep running.

“Hohoho! acoustic They’re finally here. auction Now it’s all over!”

He had thought there was enough time, but he was wrong. alert The surviving subordinates had quickly arrived using a magic circle.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Twenty Schema users crowded around Marsha, forming a protective barrier. canvas Getting through that to capture her was impossible.

Was it really going to end like this? silence Shirone might have to abandon his dream of being a mage.

Amy bit her lip, swallowing her tears.

“S-Shirone…”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This can’t be happening. riddle I loved magic so much. alien I worked so hard…”

“Oh my, Shirone? acid Why are you looking at me like that? autumn Ah, because of your magic? arch Don’t worry. canvas You’re still young, so you can learn it all over again. apron Of course, you’ll never be able to use the magic I stole, even if it takes you your entire life.”

Shirone gazed at Marsha as if giving up on everything. apple His expression was one of utter emptiness.

“The Sound magic was also stolen from someone else, right?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Shut up! galaxy How can you say that? accent What did Shirone ever do to you?”

Amy screamed in anger.

“Fufu, right. atomic You know I have a thing for stealing. athlete Why are you suddenly so petty when you claimed to understand me before? abandon You easily paid 50 silver for that vase, but now you can’t give up your magic? zenith What, too precious to share?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

How could someone be like that? alert Not content with just stealing Shirone’s magic, Marsha seemed intent on crushing his entire life.

Her father.

“Hohoho! abstract That’s hypocrisy. agent There’s no one good in this world. ability They pretend to care, but they’re always hiding selfish thoughts behind their kindness.”

Though Marsha was cursing the world, all Shirone heard was her cursing one person.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s what made Unregulated Eaters so terrifying: their power was rooted in human trauma.

For ordinary mages, omnipotence complemented their omniscience. athlete For Unregulated Eaters, however, omnipotence twisted omniscience.

He had taken in the orphaned Marsha and raised her until she was seventeen, but realizing that those years were shaped by a twisted desire must have left her devastated.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have my sympathy.”

Marsha’s eyes sharpened. apple Who was he to pity her?

That twisted humanity manifested through magic, and now Shirone understood why the Magic Association didn’t recognize it as magic.

“It’s so painful that even their thoughts get distorted. aluminum That’s the Unregulated Eater.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone, who had lost all his magic, was the one deserving pity, falling victim to his own hypocrisy.

“Actually, I’m not sure myself. atlas I don’t know how much you’ve suffered.”

“Hmph! airport Now you’re trying to win me over? adjust After trying to kill me? apple Do you think I’ll let you off?”

“So… I’m coming to you now.”

“Hoho! attic Finally admitting it, huh? anchor No one cares about the pain of others! galaxy That’s human nature! crystal Everyone’s just awful.”

Marsha’s heart skipped a beat. sphere There’s no way he could get here with 20 subordinates standing guard.

“You might be right. afford Maybe it’s hypocrisy. academy But I still believe we can share our pain. auction If you truly show your wounds, I can see the real pain within you. alien So show me. audit I need to see the real suffering.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

With a terrified look, Marsha screamed. crystal The wound was so deep that even a feather landing on it would be excruciating. absorb And Shirone wanted to open it up? galaxy And dig through it?

“I’m going to break the shell trapping you and see for myself how deep your wounds go.”

“Don’t spout nonsense. antenna Why would I accept pity from you?”

“Don’t come any closer! altitude I’ll die if you do! acid If I die, you’ll never get your magic back!”

Shirone looked at them quietly before turning to Rian.

When Shirone finished speaking, Marsha’s subordinates drew their swords and blocked his path.

“I promise never to abandon you. beacon Whatever the pain, I’ll bear it.”

“Don’t let him through! audit Cut his head off!”

Tess spoke up, following behind.

Rian was the most injured among them, barely able to move, but he stood up without a word and slung his sword over his shoulder.

“Rian, protect my side.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But in your condition…”

“Wait, I’ll do it. aluminum I’m not as hurt as Rian.”

“It’s okay, Tess. acid This is what my lord asked of me.”

“Tess, Rian has to guard me. arch I can’t let anyone else shed blood.”

Shirone shook his head.

“Blood? abstract What blood?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

As Shirone slowly advanced, he spoke to Rian.

“Alright, I’ll handle it.”

“Rian, cut down anyone who tries to attack me.”

Rian couldn’t understand his request. atlas He had no magic, and even walking was a challenge. beacon Charging into enemy territory meant certain death.

Marsha trembled with rage.

“Check my wounds? ability Share my pain? crystal Nonsense, bullshit.”

But Rian obediently followed Shirone. aspect A sword doesn’t judge; it just follows its master’s orders, even at the cost of its life.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was just trying to get his magic back by lying through his teeth.

At Marsha’s cry, her 20 subordinates lunged forward. palette Enhanced by Schema training, they closed the gap swiftly, raising their blades high.

“Kill him! arena Kill that brat now!”

That’s humanity. voyage Even when they pretend to be kind, they only seek to satisfy their own greed.

But at that moment, the swordsman’s body turned to light and soared into the sky.

A swordsman in the lead jumped up, slashing down toward Shirone’s head. adapt Gritting his teeth, Rian prepared to strike back.

Rian grasped the hilt of his sword tightly. timber How long he could hold out was uncertain, but even if he was decapitated, he planned to press forward.

Marsha watched in a daze, and Amy and Tess stared from the other side, also perplexed.

“What are you all doing? album Attack! wizard We’ll win this no matter what!”

A sharp noise from a Teleportation spell tore through the air.

Shirone was approaching, and with each step, subordinates disappeared with a loud noise.

Marsha’s lips quivered.

At the command, three swordsmen launched their assault. abandon But they, too, were whisked away into the air before they could strike Shirone.

Amy was the only one who understood the situation, but even her voice trembled.

“Amazing. atomic I knew he had an exceptional magic sense, but I never imagined this.”

“What is this? august What’s going on?”

When had Shirone anticipated this moment?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

When Marsha’s subordinates arrived? sphere Or when he figured out the limits of the Pillage spell? antenna No, it was probably when Rian told him about Windcutter.

“It’s magic. wizard Slow Time, a spell that reduces the speed of time.”

“What is it, Amy? legend What is Shirone doing now?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 161: Clay Marsha (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Marsha must have been equally unprepared. canvas Shirone, once entangled in lies and conspiracies that drained his power, now brought his insight to the surface, disrupting Marsha’s calculations.

“Slow Time? absorb Is that really Slow Time?”

Connecting theoretical omniscience directly with omnipotence was only possible for Shirone. sphere Even Amy hadn’t expected he could do this.

But Rian, inside Shirone’s Spirit Zone, saw something completely different.

Tess scanned the battlefield again. beacon From the outside, everything appeared normal. autumn The only observable change was that any enemy who approached Shirone flew away.

Once someone stepped into Shirone’s Spirit Zone, their body would flash with light and then move agonizingly slowly.

“So I just need to cut them down?”

Rian prepared to slash at the approaching enemies. adjust Their eyes were filled with terror, knowing they were doomed. portal They quickly activated their teleportation bracelets and vanished.

Those who reached the level of sublight speeds could warp the zone’s time. canvas Shirone couldn’t stretch time as dramatically as Alpheas, but he could easily double its relative distortion.

Screeching noises from teleportation filled the air. alien Now, only three subordinates stood between Marsha and Shirone, but even they fled as Shirone advanced.

Once again alone, Marsha trembled with a ghostly pale face. apple She was trapped in a cycle of terrifying thoughts.

With the enemies retreating even before the fight, Rian snorted dismissively and continued following Shirone.
