The Genius Mage Was Reincarnated Into A Swordsman Family

Klaus paid no heed to the sudden message notification that materialized in front of him, brushing it off with a gesture of indifference. His attention fixated solely on the prone form of Alex, sprawled on the ground and struggling to recover from the onslaught, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. In Klaus’s mind, a resolute determination took root—to subject Alex to unrelenting torment, to imprint upon him the visceral essence of genuine terror. With each deliberate step, Klaus advanced towards his fallen foe, the once-blue eyes now hardened with a chilling resolve, ready to unleash a merciless barrage. The air seemed to thicken with anticipation as Klaus closed in, a palpable tension signaling the impending continuation of their fierce confrontation. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Despite the significant boost in stats and access to arcane energy that Arkdieu Pride had temporarily granted Alex, neither Alex nor Pride anticipated Klaus’s ability to retaliate after his arcane core had been sealed. Pride had persistently murmured instructions in Alex’s ears, guiding him on how to effectively utilize arcane energy and humiliate Klaus. To ensure Alex’s complete dominance in their fight, Pride had even intervened, halting time momentarily and providing Alex with an artifact capable of temporarily sealing arcane energy. This intricate web of assistance underscored the lengths to which Pride was willing to go to secure Alex’s victory and humiliate his opponent.

In the intricate tapestry of divine entities, the Arkdieu Pride emerged as a creature adorned with an abundance of pride. A being of immense arrogance, Pride found himself unable to bear witness to the display of power exhibited by Gluttony’s apostle, Klaus. The manifestation of superiority in arcane might seemed to irk the very essence of Pride’s nature.

Driven by an innate inclination to assert dominance, Pride sensed the profound desire within Alex to stand above Klaus. It was a sentiment that resonated with the core of Pride’s being – an opportunity to showcase supremacy. In the silent communion between apostle and Arkdieu, Pride chose to extend a helping hand, aligning his influence with the fervent aspirations of Alex.

This alliance served a dual purpose for Pride. Not only did it grant immediate assistance to Alex in the ongoing clash, but it also paved the way for subtle manipulation. Pride recognized the potential for a future where his true objectives could be realized, making this alliance a calculated move in the grand scheme of the Arkdieus machinations.

Pride, with his cunning and seductive whispers, skillfully manipulated Alex into believing that Klaus’s strength solely rested upon the foundation of his Arcane core. The devious insinuations resonated in Alex’s ears, convincing him to accept Pride’s assistance in sealing Klaus’s core, a move deemed essential for tipping the scales in their favor.

However, Pride’s expectations were met with surprise when Klaus, despite the sealed core, showcased a remarkable proficiency in utilizing natural mana and even conventional magic. The revelation shattered the preconceived notions that Pride had woven into the fabric of Alex’s thoughts. Klaus, it seemed, possessed an arsenal of skills beyond the constraints of a singular power source, defying Pride’s assumptions and adding a layer of unpredictability to the unfolding confrontation.

To compound the situation, Pride found himself entangled in a web of consequences. The act of stopping time, a blatant breach of the laws restricting the Arkdieu race from direct interference in the mundane realm without fully possessing their apostle’s body, had repercussions. Pride was now constrained by the consequences of his own actions, unable to further interfere without risking dire outcomes.

Moreover, Pride faced the dilemma of Alex’s insufficiently developed and fragile body. Even if the Arkdieu entity desired full possession, Alex’s physical vessel was deemed inadequate and immature for such a significant undertaking. Pride grappled with the limitations imposed by the situation, navigating a precarious balance between influence and restraint in this intricate dance of power.

The meddling of Pride and the consequences of their impulsive actions served only to stoke the flames of Klaus’s fury. Now, with a burning resolve, Klaus stood poised to exact a toll for the intrusion upon his very being. His focus honed on the figure of Alex, the conduit through which the Arkdieu’s interference had manifested. Revenge, or perhaps just the satisfaction of making Alex bear the brunt of their interference, fueled Klaus’s determination

Klaus, the harbinger of impending doom, moved forward with measured steps, reminiscent of a reaper on a relentless quest. His training sword, a companion to the dance of death, etched a sinister melody as it scraped against the arena floor. The metallic resonance echoed through the air, sending spine-chilling shivers down the spines of the mesmerized onlookers. Klaus’s gaze, an unyielding flame, burned with an insatiable thirst for blood, turning the arena into a stage for a dark and imminent showdown.

In a desperate attempt to rise, Alex plunged his training sword into the ground, using it as a makeshift support. The arena, now tense and hushed, awaited the next move. Puzzled and disoriented, Alex grappled with the sudden appearance of Klaus, who seemed to have materialized out of thin air, delivering a swift and unexpected blow that sent him reeling. As Alex struggled to make sense of the situation, a disconcerting realization dawned – the once seductive whispers of Arkdieu Pride had fallen silent, leaving him in a disconcerting void of uncertainty. The onlookers, drawn into the mystery unfolding before them, held their breaths in anticipation of the final moments of this extraordinary duel.

Gazing at Klaus advancing with a glare seething with hatred, Alex found himself on the precipice of impending doom. In a sudden motion of Klaus’s hand, a colossal wall of mana surged from the void, obstructing the audience’s view of the unfolding confrontation. As Alex turned to scrutinize the mysterious barrier, Klaus seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving behind an eerie silence and a shroud of uncertainty. The arena, once a vibrant spectacle of arcane prowess, now bore witness to a clandestine struggle obscured from prying eyes.

"Not again!" Alex groaned, his throat filled with blood.

"Why not? Didn’t you want to play with me?" Klaus’s cold voice resonated from behind, sending a shiver down Alex’s spine. In a reflex, Alex swung his sword in a swift motion behind him, expecting a clash, but it met only empty air. Panicking, he frantically scanned his surroundings, only to discover Klaus standing in his initial position, calmly walking towards him. The atmosphere grew tense as the unseen threat of Klaus’s movements played with Alex’s nerves.

"Just die!!!!" With an anguished roar, Alex unleashed a primal scream, releasing the full extent of his power like a volcanic eruption. He lunged towards Klaus with unabated velocity, a relentless force propelled by fury. In response, Klaus, with a decisive wave of his hand, invoked a spell that conjured a sudden wall from the ground. The barrier erupted, meeting Alex’s rapid advance with a solid impact to the chin

PAW!

The wall shattered upon impact with Alex’s chin, sending him soaring into the air. The force of the blow made Alex’s body twist and turn, a disoriented figure against the backdrop of the magical display. Sensing the perfect moment, Klaus, with a fluid motion, conjured another spell to further influence the unfolding spectacle.

Third Circle Magic: Gravity Fall

The gravity field intensified its grip on Alex’s plummet, turning the descent into a heart-stopping spectacle akin to a freefall from the third floor of a towering building. The velocity, accelerated to three times the usual rate of descent, painted a vivid image of speed and impending impact.

A thunderous thud resonated like a malevolent drumbeat, reverberating through the vast expanse of the Lion Arena. The bone-chilling symphony of cracking echoed, a macabre melody that sent shivers down the spines of the audience. Amidst the unfolding drama, frustrated voices rose in a cacophony of discontent, as the formidable mana wall veiled the intense confrontation from their eager eyes.

As the colossal mana wall gradually dissipated, unveiling the arena’s secrets, the audience was met with a startling sight. A small crater marred the pristine surface of the ground, a testament to the sheer force that had unfolded. Within the confines of this concave depression, Alex writhed in agony, his anguished screams punctuating the air as his joints contorted in unnatural ways. The onlookers, wide-eyed and breathless, bore witness to the aftermath of Klaus’s calculated spell.

With deliberate steps, Klaus advanced towards the pit, his movements measured and composed. In a voice as cold as the depths of winter, he uttered words only meant for the ears of Alex, who continued to writhe in agony.

"Next time, think twice before attempting to cross me. This is just a taste of what awaits if you do," Klaus declared, his eyes gleaming with a frigid blue intensity, reminiscent of a frozen winter lake.

Having issued his stern warning to Alex with a lingering air of authority, Klaus left the pit behind, his strides purposeful and deliberate. The arena, still buzzing with the aftermath of their confrontation, witnessed Klaus’s departure like a calm after the storm. His resolute gaze, seemingly unaffected by the recent battle, focused ahead as he navigated the ground. The atmosphere carried the weight of the intense struggle, and Klaus moved through it with an almost regal demeanor, signaling the conclusion of the fierce duel.
