The Vault of the Demon God – Episode 484

Chapter 484

“H-How can a 7-circle mage… be here?”

“Looks like you’re finally grasping your level.”

Se-un spoke respectfully to the 4-circle mage, who was considered the lowest level in the lab, but he spoke informally to Selde, who could be considered the head of the lab.

Se-un had only one criterion for lowering or raising his speech.

‘There’s no need to use polite language to someone who treats me condescendingly or looks down on me first.’

Whether the other person respected him or not. This was the biggest criterion.

For example, even among the Demon Gods, there were those like Mammon or Beelzebub, or even Lucifer.

No matter how clueless Beelzebub seemed, Se-un had always been respectful to him.

Conversely, he used informal speech in front of the powerful Lucifer, even while feeling overwhelmed by his presence.

There were various other factors, such as whether the other person was an enemy or an ally, but ultimately, this was the most important point.

“…Why have you been hiding your circle? Someone of your caliber…”

“When did I ever hide my circle? You were just too dense to realize it.”

Se-un didn’t hide his circle.

Even though he could have surrounded his circle with mana to avoid mana scans if he wanted to, he didn’t.

He didn’t think it was necessary since the Archmage of this lab was an 8-circle mage anyway.

In other words, this guy had his eyes covered and was making a fuss, even though the circle was clearly visible.

The guy clenched his fists and trembled, seemingly frustrated. However, he quickly changed the subject, still unable to abandon his pride.

“But, even if you are a 7-circle mage, this is the Blue’s lab. You are not qualified to argue with our research.”

“Argue? Judging by the fact that you can’t even grasp the strange points after hearing them, I guess this experiment came from your head?”

“Hoo… Then tell me. What is this variable you speak of?”

“You seem to be analyzing the collision effects of different attributes, but shouldn’t you completely unify the magic first?”

It was a fundamental problem.

Unless the same mage collides the same magic, the magic will inevitably be different.

That was Se-un’s thought.

However, Selde smirked, a corner of his mouth twitching upward, after hearing the variable Se-un mentioned.

Then, he began to retort with an absurdly ridiculing expression.

“Haha, do you really think I wouldn’t have accounted for even such a basic variable? As expected, even if you are a 7-circle mage, you are no different from a novice in El Abrar [a prestigious magic academy].”

“Is that all you’ve considered in advance?”

“That’s all? It couldn’t be more perfect than this! You two, come here!”

“Yes!”

“Yes, Master Selde.”

At Selde’s call, two mages in the lab rushed out.

Both looked quite exhausted from the long experiment, but they quickly straightened their posture without showing it.

“As I said before, these two reached the 4th circle at almost the same time. They learned magic from the same teacher, so their training methods are the same, and the magic they learned is the same.”

“So what?”

“That’s not the end of it! Before the experiment, they used the same magic to unify their power, and they also unified their formulas. Can you account for variables more perfectly than this?”

Selde spread his arms wide as if he was confident.

Se-un couldn’t help but sigh at the sight.

“Don’t tell me you started this experiment after getting verification from the Archmage of Blue? If so, I’m disappointed. To allow an experiment without even grasping this from the position of Archmage.”

“Do you know how long I’ve been assisting the Archmage in this lab? I didn’t get verification, but there’s no way there’s a problem!”

“Then that’s a relief. I’m glad that the Archmage isn’t so incompetent that he can’t even recognize these variables.”

“Are you trying to insult the Archmage!”

“You didn’t even get verification, so what are you talking about? I’m blaming your stupidity, not the Archmage.”

“You…!”

Selde trembled.

His face was red, but he was a typical coward who is strong against the weak and weak against the strong, so he couldn’t dare to get angry at Se-un, who was a 7-circle mage.

Barely suppressing his anger, he opened his trembling lips.

“What other variables should I be catching?”

“No matter how much they grow up at the same time and learn the same formulas, there will always be differences in magic between mages.”

“Such subtle differences don’t matter!”

“Even those subtle differences will change the results of this experiment. Don’t you even know that the significance of the paper changes with those minor differences?”

“The significance value of magic is more generous than that of ordinary papers. That’s how difficult it is to handle magic!”

“Ah, so you were doing experiments carelessly with such excuses?”

“Carelessly! Hoo… Alright. Then, do you have a way to account for even those variables?”

In the end, unable to win against Se-un’s words, Selde acted haughtily.

However, Se-un had no intention of telling him the answer.

“Why should I even tell you such a method?”

“What?”

“The significance value might change with just one piece of advice from me? I have no intention of helping an experiment like yours.”

The accuracy of a paper varies depending on this significance value.

The number of people who cite it increases depending on the significance value, and it is recognized for its level and receives even higher evaluations.

If Se-un showed off and told him the method here, it might be refreshing in the moment, but in the end, it would only help the guy.

“Ha! In the end, isn’t it because you don’t know either!”

“What if I do know?”

“You can have this paper. I’ll give you all the result values that have come out so far, as well as the data and comments I’ve collected for writing the paper.”

“That’s good enough.”

Se-un nodded and went up to the top of the lab.

Even though he already had enough papers, the more highly rated papers, the better.

Later, when the Archmages judged Se-un, those papers would raise Se-un’s standards.

“If the variable in this experiment is the difference between mages, the answer is simple.”

Se-un raised his right hand and created a fire.

Fireball.

A 2-circle fire attribute attack magic that Se-un used effectively in the tutorial.

Unlike 1-circle magic, which simply manifests elements, 2-circle magic can use such attack magic, so it was the most suitable magic for experimentation.

Conversely.

Crack!

He conjured a ball of electricity, Lightning Ball, on his left hand.

Magic of different attributes created with the same circle and the same formula collided.

Bang!

Power that was hard to imagine from 2-circle magic colliding.

It was similar to the power of two 3-circle magic colliding.

And it wasn’t Se-un’s delusion that he felt that way.

“F-Fireball’s power is 411. Lightning Ball’s power is 398! How can such a value be…”

“It’s a power value that’s twice as high as that of a typical 2-circle magic. At this rate, it’s almost close to 3-circle magic…”

“As expected of a 7-circle mage!”

“Collision value is out. Fireball has a 4.5% more advantageous attribute value!”

“With this method, you can really increase the paper score…!”

Bang!

While the two mages measuring the data in the lab were muttering excitedly, Selde, who had been watching from behind, activated his mana and burst into anger.

The two mages, who had been burning with academic enthusiasm, were startled and shut their mouths.

“This is an experiment to prepare for the case where two mages collide two magic during a magic battle! But to conduct an experiment using magic alone, does that make sense!”

“If you want to gain practical experience, go outside and do it. Haven’t you been saying since earlier? This is El Abrar. Accurate numbers are more important than practical experience.”

“Does that make sense!”

“Of course it makes sense. Ah, of course, this isn’t perfect either. More than this…”

“Haha, oh dear. My disciple has been rude from the first meeting.”

“Archmage… Hup!”

A voice suddenly rang out.

With it, a blue magic circle was drawn around Selde.

Crystals as smooth as crystals rose from the magic circle drawn in an instant, and Selde froze as if he were trapped in ice.

‘Is it a sealing formula?’

It looks like a type of ice magic, but there is no chill at all.

Se-un, who had recently become accustomed to formula conversion and was able to infer the formula just by looking at most magic, had difficulty grasping the principle.

Looking at the figure approaching with it, Se-un was able to realize that he was the Archmage of Blue.

‘As expected, he was an 8-circle mage.’

An old man whose appearance was perfect for the title of Archmage of Blue.

Even blue leaves were growing from the long staff that reached up to his head.

He was opening his circle and revealing his presence to settle the situation, and the stigma was about to react to the pressure.

“I gave you one last chance, but your arrogance has gone too far. It’s a pity.”

The old man waved his hand, and Selde’s frozen body disappeared under the magic circle.

I don’t know how he handled it, but judging from the way he spoke, it seemed that he would never be able to enter El Abrar again.

“Anyway, I want to hear more. Even to me, that method doesn’t seem perfect.”

The old man took his eyes off the disappeared Selde and turned his head to Se-un.

It was an inquisitive tone, but Se-un didn’t think so at all.

He already knew the answer. He was just testing Se-un.

“Even if you use the same circle and the same formula, experimentation is not suitable for my circle.”

“Haha, you know your characteristics well. To fill all the circles with different attributes, it’s a reckless idea. Unless you have two lives.”

Currently, Se-un’s circles have been trained using different training methods from different magic towers.

So, even if they are the same circle, if you use magic of different attributes like this, there will inevitably be a difference in power.

In other words, the answer is…

“It seems that the mages here have all grown up with the same training method. So, if they conduct the experiment using double casting, a perfect value will be derived.”

If someone other than Se-un conducts the experiment, a perfect value will be derived.

Of course, double casting was separate from general magic training, so I don’t know if there are any mages among them who can use it.

Judging by their passion, it seemed that they would learn double casting at all costs for the experiment.

Gulp.

The mages around him swallowed at Se-un’s answer. They also felt that the Archmage was testing Se-un.

And after a very brief, short silence, the Archmage tapped his staff and walked towards Se-un.

Every time his staff touched the floor, the mana in the lab surged like a wave.

“Haha, that’s the answer. Your objectification of yourself is also perfect. I don’t know where such a talent suddenly fell from.”

The lab opened, and the Archmage entered inside.

His physique, standing side by side with Se-un, was weaker than Se-un, but the energy felt in front of him felt similar to that of a giant.

“Nice to meet you. I am Mol Arginin, the Archmage of Blue in charge of this place.”

The Archmage offers a handshake.
