SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar



Kuzon had learned a lot in his journey as a living entity. He was also blessed with a lot of power

From his Spells, to his Original Magic, and even down to his transformations.

However, perhaps what stood out the most were his major abilities that stemmed from his absorption of two Arcanas.

[The Emperor], which allowed him to dominate anyone and anything inferior to him.

[The Empress], which allowed no harm or 'negative effect' to befall him.

With these two, along with the Absolute Emperor Transfiguration, he was considered invincible.

However, that only applied where he was facing those without the same sets of Arcanas as him... or beings who were inconceivably superior to him.

In the end, he had yet to achieve absolute invincibility.

That is... until now.

"[Authority Of The Sovereign]"

One could call this power similar to [The Emperor], but infinitely stronger.

However, there was one key difference that separated the power of the Constellation Leo from the Arcanas Kuzon wielded.

While Kuzon was allowed to dominate the inferior with his Arcana, the Authority of the Sovereign qualified him to be superior.

In simple terms, [Authority Of The Sovereign] placed Kuzon at a higher plain of existence, like a god in the clouds, staring at insignificant ants.

In this realm... the power to quash a simple barrier seemed almost inconsequential.

It was as simple as making a thought.

And then...

>VWUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM<

... Kuzon was finally free.

*********

"T-that was... wow!" Kuzon murmured as he stepped out of the Gate, appearing dazed.

He found himself within an apartment uilding, which was evacuated once an S Class Gate was detected there

His eyes barely saw anything around him, and his body felt heavier than usual. It was a strange sensation, something that only came about when he overexerted himself.

~This is why I was skeptical of you utilizing my power. It's too much for you to handle, at least not without preparing your body with your other transformations first.~

'So why didn't you say anything?!' Kuzon's thoughts screamed in exasperation.

His body felt really worn out.

~Is that your way of saying thanks? What an ungrateful brat.~

"W-well..."

Kuzon was indeed grateful that his Constellation had come to his rescue, but something within him told him something wasn't right.

Especially now that his head was much clearer from the panicky state that he temporarily assumed in the Dungeon.

And then, it struck him!

"Now that... I think about it... haaa... I could have used [The Emperor]."

The Gate was being blocked by someone sort of ability, now that he thought well about it. If he used [The Emperor] to hijack control, it would have worked out.

Perhaps even using powerful Magic to break down the surface tension.

There seemed to be so many other options than his Constellation's ability. So why...?

"You wanted me to use your power, didn't you? Yet you claim it's the opposite of what you wanted."

~W-what? I have no idea what you're talking about? I didn't even want you to use it.~

"Sure, you didn't." Kuzon smiled, feeling a little better as the aftereffects of receiving so much power began to leave him.

~Well, whatever. We've gone past the point of any return. Your body will slowly acclimate to my power. When you use my power next time, it won't hurt... too much.~

"Well, that makes me feel so much better." Kuzon chuckled.

There still seemed to be a lot of questions on his mind. For example, why did the Gate turn red and trap him within the Dungeon.

However, at this point, Kuzon didn't really need to ask that question.

He already knew the answer.

"Are you seriously going to keep watching me?"

His voice echoed in the vast complex, and finally, after some time, a certain figure appeared, fading into visibility.

"So you could sense me, huh? That's amazing. You're really amazing..."

Kuzon strained his gaze to see the person before him, and he found him to be a complete stranger.

It was a young lady, and she had a black cloak, with red hair and eyes. She also had a pale complexion, and her facial features didn't seem like a South Korean.

'She's speaking the language fluently, though.' Kuzon thought to himself.

"Not only did you manage to escape the Gate I clogged with my S Class [Spatial Lock] Skill, but you even managed to see through my A Rank [Blank Form]. Interesting..." The pale-faced woman spoke.

Kuzon simply watched and listened in silence.

"You seen exhausted already, though. It seems breaking out took up most of your energy..."

'Um, no. It was Leo's overwhelming power that made me like this...' Kuzon thought to himself, but he couldn't exactly tell her that.

"And you also talk to yourself a lot, don't you? I used my A Rank Scouting Skill on you, and it doesn't seem like you're communicating with anyone."

'I'm conversing with my Familiar who is within me...' Still, Kuzon couldn't tell all of this to his enemy, so he decided to keep quiet instead.

"In any case, I suppose it's time for introductions. You must be wondering why I trapped you in that Dungeon, and why I have appeared before you now." The woman smiled, her eyes glowing red.

She slowly began walking toward Kuzon, every step ringing of confidence.

'Not really. Isn't she one of those Shadows of Light people that were spying on what Jared and I did in Busan? She's probably here to eliminate me.' Kuzon's thoughts trailed.

"I am a Star of the Shadows of Light." Exuding confidence, the woman licked her lips as she stared at Kuzon with a murderous gaze.

"You may call me Gluttony."
