The Cursed Wizard: A Game Made Real

The senses were heightened by adding additional magical power to the barrier surrounding the body. 

Meanwhile, the man was indiscriminately swinging the mercenaries around, single-handedly turning the tide of the battle in his favour. 

"Keep your formation!!" 

"We have to stop that bastard from running wild..!!" 

"Delrin, get out!" 

However, the mercenaries' movements while fighting the men while protecting the 2nd platoon that was already incapacitated are severely restricted, and on the other hand, the men are able to withstand some of the mercenaries' attacks without any loss in attack speed. 

Eventually, before long, the formation was breached and mercenaries began to die indiscriminately. 

"Kuaaaah!!" 

It's natural that you never know when you'll die while working on this floor, but it's not easy to keep your composure when your colleagues are dying one after another right before your eyes. 

As the amount of blood flowing increased and the number of lives lost decreased, the mercenary group panicked, their hands and feet became stiff and their senses dulled. 

If we continue like this, we will all be wiped out without even being able to do anything. 

Leo, having judged it that way, immediately gave up the magic he had been aiming to subdue the man and built up a new magic. 

The magical power he had gathered in advance to use magic was scattered into thin air, but Leo's powerful magical power control ability caught all the scattered magical power particles and reconstructed them within his mind. 

A talent that goes beyond efficiency by controlling magical power down to particle level. 

If the wizard who died bleeding on the third floor had seen this sight, he would have been so excited that he would have wanted to kill him no matter what. 

The magic, completed at a frighteningly fast speed, descends from the air, omitting any inaudible spells or invisible seals. 

[Thunder Calling] 

A blue lightning flashes across the clear sky and strikes the centre of the rooftop of a four-story building. 

Kwaaaaang!! 

A force so strong that it shook violently a building supported by solid concrete. 

However, the damage caused by the lightning precisely missed the area where the mercenary group and the power plant were located. 

This is because Leo used his transcendental perception ability to accurately calculate the amount of magic power and the damage range, and intentionally controlled the power of the lightning. 

It was impossible to properly determine the location before climbing up the building, but it is not impossible if you are aware of all the coordinates of the space in this wide-open space… Leo judged it that way and tried it, and it was a complete success. 

Even though this was only his second time using magic, Leo's great talent was making such absurd control possible. 

Phew!! 

Even after seeing the mercenaries with expressions of bewilderment at the sight of lightning striking before their eyes, Leo did not stop using his magical power. 

It would be nice if this one attack directly hit the man and left him incapacitated, but even if that wasn't the case, Leo's mind was still vividly imagining it. 

A very brief warning before lightning strikes. If you can sense it with your eyes or intuition, you can avoid it. 

Having already experienced the threshold of the creature known as Kroken, Leo's thinking was such that he could easily calculate the movements of any superhuman. 

The most likely way is to either jump in between the mercenaries to avoid the damage from their ranged attacks or use them as a shield to survive. 

And if the man really did dodge the lightning in that way, then the next target would be- 

Come on!! 

It was Leo himself who cast the spell. 

Talent is 

Leo's body was lifted backwards as the shield he had built so tightly shattered due to the strong impact, but he did not panic. 

He had guessed that the man would target Leo by chasing the use of his magical power, and had built up several layers of shields accordingly. 

Instead of adding magic to each shield to increase its strength, Leo took measures to intentionally make it shatter on impact and absorb the shock. 

If you know where it's coming from and are prepared, you can handle anti-tank weapons. 

Leo's shield was shattered by the man's arm that was swung at a speed incomparable to that of before, but Leo's body was unharmed. 

"Wizard!!" 

The astonished mercenaries moved quickly, but instead of running away from the spot, the man swung his arm violently once more. 

He was convinced that it was better to kill Leo than to let the mercenaries attack him now. 

The power of the lightning he used was something that could not be easily found among other magicians. 

Wedge!! 

What is it that can't break a shield that has been broken once twice? 

It didn't seem difficult at all to break through Leo's remaining defences and place five fingers on his heart. 

But Leo did not back down or use additional shield magic in the face of the man's onslaught. 

I just quickly raised the revolver I was holding in my hand. 

Immediately after using [Thunder Calling], the prepared magical power is arranged in unison through the left hand, assembling specific thoughts like a flash of lightning. 

Woohoo...!! 

In an instant, the gun began to shake as it turned blue, but it felt more stable than before. 

Currently, with Leo's ability, even double casting of ordinary common magic is impossible, but it is a different case for auxiliary magic, especially shooting auxiliary magic, which has relatively low capacity and magic power consumption and is mastered through gameplay. 

I fully remember the order in which I should place my auxiliary spells to achieve the most efficient and powerful effects, and which auxiliary spells are effective depending on the type of firearm. 

[Aiming compensation] [Fire acceleration] [Recoil control] [Rate of fire compensation] 

Four auxiliary magic shots specialized in shooting correction. 

It is a support magic that simply strengthens the power of shooting, but it is a different story if four magics are used at once. 

The synergy that occurs when four auxiliary magic shots are stacked in a single shot explosively increases the power of the bullet. 

Tadadadadadang!!!! 

Five bright blue sparks shot out of the gun barrel like lightning, striking the man's entire body. 

Two feet on the navel, two feet below the abdomen, and the remaining one on the head. 

[Aiming Correction] activated at close range can easily neutralize a man's attack in an instant and accurately targets only the most lethal parts. 

In contrast to the man's blackened arms that were slicing through the air in vain, Leo's shots all struck vital points. 

"Kuaaaah!!" 

A man exposed to five counterattacks in a single moment threw away all his offensive means and writhed in pain. 

The man's skin, which had become hard enough to easily deflect ordinary bullets, seemed to have softened the impact by injecting him with a drug containing black magic, but it was unavoidable that his physical functions would be temporarily disabled. 

Leo quickly drew up his power once more to finish the job without missing the gap. 

At this close range, the most effective attack is determined. 

Although his body was weak and could be between life and death with just one mistake, Leo's cold reason perfectly understood that sometimes he should not be afraid of close combat. 

chin! 

Leo grabbed the man's lower jaw with his shielded hand and tightened his grip, drawing out his magical power. 

Nothing has changed since I first escaped from the factory. 

Leo has risked his life every moment to survive, and will continue to do so. 

This magic was like a light that reminded Leo of his will. 

[bolt] 

Jiggle jiggle jiggle jiggle!!! 

A thick, bright blue electric current, incomparable to when I first learned magic, flows and wriggles between my five fingers. 

A dazzling blue lightning bolt, enough to block Leo's vision, shot out and struck the man's head. 

"Ugh, ugh, ugh… Aaaah!!" 

An interpersonal magic used for the purpose of stunning. It is also a high-powered magic with the output raised to the max. 

For a normal person, it wouldn't be strange if his head was turned to ashes in an instant. 

However, the man was writhing and struggling like crazy, allowing the bolt magic to hit him without any protection. 

"Hold on?" 

The moment he realizes that he can't subdue it at once, he immediately shakes it off and steps back. A frighteningly calm response. 

There are monsters that can catch bullets with their eyelids, so there's no reason why they wouldn't be able to withstand a lightning spell to the head. 

After facing the superhuman known as Kroken Asylus, Leo was confident that he could face any enemy without being frightened. 

[Charging acceleration] 

In a split second, before the man could recover, he cocked his revolver and pulled the trigger again. 

Bang! Bang! 

One shot to each eye, with one shot missing and hitting the forehead. 

No matter how much black magic was used to strengthen his entire body, it seems that even his eyeballs were not made strong enough. The sound of the man's eyeball bursting through his eyelid can be heard. 

"Aha, haaaaaah!!" 

Even in that state, the man was going crazy and swung his arms wildly in an attempt to somehow land an effective hit on Leo. 

Leo didn't fight back this time, but looked down at the man calmly. 

Kwajik!! Puhwaak!! 

This is because the mercenaries who had run in had stabbed the man in the back with their weapons and thrown him to the ground. 

"This kid…!!" 

"Everyone, hold on tight!!" 

Doo doo doo doo doo!! 

"Kuaaaah!!" 

The other mercenaries fired shots to kill him, with the man still wearing bullets all over his limbs, but he only cried out in pain and trembled without losing any strength. 

Even when he was down, he was so strong that even the other mercenaries holding him stumbled for a moment. 

The mercenaries were astonished at the sight of the man who had fired more than a magazine of bullets but had no effect at all. 

Their shots, which did not aim for the eyeballs like Leo's, seemed to cause no pain to the man. 

"This freaking bastard…" 

"Are you sure you can kill me here?" 

"Captain, what are we going to do about this?" 

The mercenaries looked at Dray with hot gazes. 

A considerable number of the members had already been ordered by the man. If they could not tie up the knots here and now, there would be nothing more uncomfortable than that. 

Dray, who was holding the man with his sword stuck in his left shoulder, thought for a moment before looking at Leo. 

With his limited knowledge of magic, it was impossible for him to accurately determine the man's current condition. 

In this place, there was only one person who could hear the man's opinion about the drugs he had used. 

"Sir, what other way is there?" 

At Dray's question, all the other mercenaries shut their noisy mouths and looked at Leo. 

Because the three lightning spells he showed in the previous battle made them remember what a real wizard is. 

The skill of pulling out the blue lightning from the dry sky as if it were his own was by no means a lie or an illusion. 

"It's black magic." 

Leo answered. 

"The principle itself isn't that complicated. It's about greatly increasing strength, resilience, and endurance while sacrificing various things. Basically, it seems like you supplement human flesh or blood to use it as power, and when that runs out, your language and other thinking abilities deteriorate." 

The man clearly spoke and moved normally for a while after being injected with the drug, but he was mentally unstable enough to not be able to speak properly for a short while while Leo dropped the lightning and withstood the attack. 

If you don't kill people constantly and consume their blood and hearts, your cognitive abilities will decline to a dangerous degree. 

At this point, it was understandable that he deliberately spared the members of the 2nd platoon. 

"Black magic…." 

The other mercenaries' faces darkened rapidly after hearing Leo's answer. 

In the great city of Balkan, learning and mastering black magic is not forbidden. 

However, the conditions and costs required for acquisition and use are difficult and dangerous, and it is extremely selective about the user's aptitude, so compared to the notorious for its powerful and diverse magic methods, the number of magicians who have learned the black magic series' unique magic is not that many. 

Naturally, there were few people who knew detailed information about black magic or knowledge about its compatibility, and many people did not know how to deal with enemies who actually benefited from black magic. 

The situation was not much different for the other mercenaries gathered at the Cream Gall mercenary office. 

"… … … " 

Instead of responding to the mercenaries' sighs, Leo narrowed his brows and looked down at the struggling man. 

To be precise, it was not his body, but the movement of pitch-black magic flowing around him. 

Although he managed to subdue the man using a variety of magics, Leo had no intention of letting the man live. 

We don't know what will happen in the future, so we must not leave any regrets. 

There is no possibility that a man with an eye patch would come looking for revenge later on. 

And that method was now somewhat visible to Leo's eyes. 

'…. The strand is caught.' 

Immediately after the drug was injected, the black magic flowing through the man's body was flawless, but after being hit with all sorts of magic and gunfire and having holes formed here and there, the magic was different. 

Leo, who was looking at the black magic moving unnaturally as if trying to avoid Leo's gaze, stretched out his hand while generating magic. 

Doo-woong! 

"Kahak!" 

He placed his hand on the man's shoulder and breathed magic into him. 

He uses the magic power that has been injected into his body as a rake to scrape away the black magic flowing through his body. 

It's not difficult. It's enough to use the repulsive power of magic controlled by particle units. 

Only the strange certainty that this would work filled Leo's mind. 

"Eudduddudd!!" 

All the strength drains from the man's body, and his eyes, which had been pitch-black, instantly turn colourless and return to their original state.
