Infinite Mage

“I will run a few tests. alien For now, stay inside the test tube.”

That night, Canis and Arin sneaked into the lab. agent Without Arcane’s permission, tension was evident. atom However, their anxiety dissipated the moment they saw Harvest.

Arcane pointed to a 3-meter-tall glass tube. arctic It was an uncomfortably narrow space for humans, but for a magical creature, the concept of enduring time was irrelevant.

A 2-meter-tall humanoid shadow.

The pinnacle of magical biology, perfected by the archmage over 150 years. agent Plus, being a magical creature endowed with Arcane’s intellect.

“This is the master’s…”

With a slender waist and dynamically broad shoulders, Canis was deeply impressed.

“Eww, so weird. anxiety I thought it’d be more human-like.”

Unlike Canis, Arin shuddered, as if looking at a monstrosity.

“Magical creatures must look intimidating, right? arctic To me, this form is truly remarkable. antique Its combat-effective.”

“But I find it strange…”

Arcane had said he would choose between him and Arin to be Harvest’s master. admire Of course, Arin was a dear friend, but there was no room for compromise in this matter. amber He was determined to prove his worth through a fair competition.

Canis didn’t care. arena If she disliked it, all the better.

‘Wait for me, Harvest. meadow I will become your master.’

“Canis, let’s leave. alien The master might come.”

“Goodness!”

When she received no response, Arin examined the tube’s mechanism, looking for a switch.

“Do you feel trapped?”

During the night, when everyone was asleep, Arin mustered the courage to visit the lab. arch Harvest was still trapped in the glass tube.

She fled the room as if escaping and never returned to the lab. arena However, having been trapped in a warehouse in Radum as a child, she couldnt just leave Harvest like that.

Arin stepped back, startled by the chilling voice.

“You’ve been locked up for a month.”

“I could let you out for a moment.”

“Why do you think I feel trapped?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 92: Genius Lost in Light (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Arin looked puzzled, sensing Harvest’s suppressed and uneasy energy.

“Maybe you’re right.”

“Not being able to move is inconvenient for humans. avalanche I can’t perceive time. adopt I dont mind being trapped forever.”

“That’s what we call frustration.”

“Curiosity, perhaps? auction That’s not quite the right term. audit I was created to learn from the moment of existence. palette But now, thats impossible.”

“What comes to your mind?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 92: Genius Lost in Light (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How can you read my emotions?”

“Radum. anchor Thormia’s capital Bashuka’s slum. armor A den of demi-folk who lost territory on the continent. abandon Concealed in hardship and drastic population changes.”

Harvest pondered. antique Could that be true?

“Hehe, just ended up this way. accent I lived in Radum for a long time.”

Even Arin, who lived in Radum, was hearing this for the first time.

“What information do you have?”

“You know a lot, Harvest.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 92: Genius Lost in Light (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Arin talked with Harvest throughout the night. ability It was her first time having such a long conversation with anyone, having spent most of her youth alone.

“It seems so. riddle I have no master to share minds with yet.”

“Are you asking for a conversation?”

“Why? acoustic Is there a problem?”

After two months of experimentation, Harvest finally gained freedom. portal Arcane opened the glass tube. autumn However, Harvest remained motionless.

Harvest didn’t respond. arrow A delay from a magical creature with superhuman computing speed was unusual, prompting Arcane to turn around.

“Come out. zenith You will resonate with Canis, but won’t be restricted as a subordinate. amber I’ll explain the reasons later.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 92: Genius Lost in Light (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm. arctic You dont like it? galaxy It’s strange for you, who havent formed a mental resonance, to have preferences already.”

“I understand that being subordinate to you, who shares your memory, offers no benefit. palette But Canis is stubborn and prideful. armor He’s unlikely to heed my advice. canvas Such traits could be a weakness in battle.”

“Why Canis?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 92: Genius Lost in Light (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you talking about synesthesia?”

“On the other hand, Arin is different. accent She lived in Radum for 10 years and hadn’t met anyone besides Canis. arena This caused her to have an incredibly sensitive mental resonance due to her rebellion.”

“Indeed, that is true.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 92: Genius Lost in Light (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Arcane also knew that Arin’s talents were more exceptional than Canis’s.

Synesthesia is a unique brainwave pattern where everything is perceived as if being seen for the first time. auction Arin grew up without seeing anything, causing her brain to solidify in that state. acoustic Hence, she couldn’t distinguish objects like ordinary people. amateur However, she was absolutely adept at sensing the emotions imbued in objects. antique Despite its inconveniences, this was a supreme talent for a psychic-type mage.

“Arin is not suitable. antenna Her heart is too soft.”

Arcane gave a bitter smile.

“I don’t understand. avalanche Synesthesia more than covers any other shortcomings. zenith With her, my abilities could be maximized.”

Having the same memories but different forms led to different judgments, then?

Falling, Harvest’s body twitched.

“Kekekekeke!”

“Maybe you’re right, more logically speaking. atom But Arin is out of the question. shadow You’re going to Canis.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 92: Genius Lost in Light (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Only in the last moments of life did Harvest realize why Arcane had specifically chosen Canis over the magically talented Arin.

Harvest’s fall seemed more pitiful as it couldn’t feel the weight.

“So that was it, Arcane.”

‘Same stubbornness.’

“Harvest!”

“Kekeke. riddle How should I know? harbor You’re my master.”

“Why! alpha Why did you do it! athlete I didn’t care if I died! orbit If you were going to betray me, why start at all! atlas Why?”

Canis rushed to Harvest. autumn The shriveled-up body of Harvest, with holes here and there, was too gruesome to behold.

“Harvest…”

“A magical creature does what its master wants.”

Canis clammed up, realizing something.

“Sorry, Harvest. alert I…”

Harvest didn’t care. audit A magical creature does what its master desires. timber That’s how it was designed, so death wasn’t shocking. autumn Rather, Harvest was more intrigued by Shirone’s combat ability that overpowered their combined play.

Canis’s head dropped. abstract He felt bitter and wronged about living, but part of him wanted to live. adopt Why wouldn’t he? atom That’s human nature. apple It seemed Harvest knew this. alpha That’s why it broke the master-servant contract and decided to self-destruct.

He was definitely a strong opponent. agent Unhesitant in overpowering the enemy, yet not aggressive. apron Rather, a methodical focus on the outcome resembled a magical creature.

‘Hmm. attic Strange magic. anxiety But it’s not just about being outmatched in magic.’

‘His recovery of emotions is incredibly fast. arcade Probably superhuman insight. absorb The journey from problem to solution is so short that it seems unshakable.’

Having analyzed, Harvest twisted its lips. artist Specialized in something unfathomable. portal Not a common trait in nature.

Arcane’s expression was not good. acquire Everyone was acting against his wishes. anxiety Frustrated with the situation, he slowly walked and spoke.

‘Kekeke. zenith Arcane, you’re in for a hard time.’

“Pitiful, Canis. meadow Even after disgracing me…”

“Shut up.”

“Hahah! crystal What a spirited lad. attic What if I make a proposition?”

Shirone interrupted. harbor His friends widened their eyes at his unusual aggressiveness. arctic Arcane, surprised, turned his head.

“Didnt you hear me? amber Shut up.”

Even Arcane had to stiffen his face this time.

Shirone’s body glowed with a faint red light. galaxy The laser. amateur Its power was already proven. abstract Even Arcane, specialized in energy absorption, could be overwhelmed by it.

“I’m already struggling to restrain myself. atlas So shut it. anxiety One more word and I’ll smash you.”

“No, it’ll be fine.”

“What are you doing? action You’ll really cause trouble!”

But his friends couldn’t help but feel blood run cold. portal Arcane was a world-dominating archmage, and Shirone was just a student. arena This provocation was akin to suicide.

“What do you mean, ma’am? august Shouldn’t we stop him?”

“Arcane is in a tough spot. avalanche He’s outmatched. admire If Shirone’s magic is energy-focused, Arcane can’t block it in his current state. avalanche He won’t act impulsively knowing he could be hurt. antenna Shirone knows this.”

Nade and Yiruki turned to Ethella.

Arcane readily admitted.

‘So cunning.’

Nade looked back at Shirone. harbor Even so, defying an archmage wasn’t something anyone but Shirone could do.

“True. afford In your current state, you could overpower me.”

“Red wavelength. autumn Particle vibration principle, it seems. echo A perfect nemesis to dark magic. armor Plus, I’m exhausted, so it’ll be quite hard to fend you off.”

An eerie silence fell. accent It was hard to believe such words from an archmage. artist But it wasn’t out of cowardice. aspect He even smiled leisurely.

Arcane keenly observed Shirone’s reaction.

“That could be one interpretation, but…”

“How does it feel? sphere To hear this from an archmage?”

“What are you trying to say? echo You’re going to pay for what youve done?”

Shirone involuntarily stepped back. aluminum Pure combativeness, unrelated to skill or level. audit The aura of death, only those who’ve crossed countless death lines can emit.

Dark smoke rose from Arcane’s body. attic His eyes turned white, and his expression became ghostly. abandon A sharp murderous intent exploded in all directions.

“Combat is understood only through experience.”

‘Really a piece.’

For the first time, Shirone remained silent. meadow He didn’t feel like fighting. zenith Arcane’s combativeness was overwhelming.

Shirone thought of how persistently Arcane exploited weaknesses and quickly switched tactics when they disappeared. arctic No stubbornness. alpha His thoughts flowed like water, and his vision opened in all directions. absorb Canis’s defeat seemed somewhat clear.
