Chapter 297
297: Overseer Party Magic Prodigy (2)
* * *
Boom!
CRASH!!!
BANG——!!!
A symphony of countless spells shook the entire building.
Each spell carried extraordinary power—so formidable that without the Celestial enchantments woven into this structure, it would have collapsed long ago.
Even among B-Rank Hunters, few possessed the ability to awaken their inner mindscape and infuse it into techniques or magic.
Perhaps only the Six Superior Races and a handful of blessed mid-tier races could achieve such a feat.
Hasty understood this much, yet watching Dohyun and Hanalin left him utterly speechless.
“Unbelievable.”
“These are people who’ve only trained for mere days?”
“Insane.”
Hezway was already a renowned Dragon-human, so her prowess was understandable.
But Hanalin and Dohyun? Entirely different.
The fact that they could infuse their inner mindscape into magic at this level was simply unbelievable.
Even his close friend from the Asura Clan’s golden generation didn’t seem to reach this caliber, and Hasty felt his own strength growing merely from observing them.
Why?
“Insane!!!”
“Another one coming!!!”
“Block it!!!”
When Hanalin and Dohyun’s spells ricocheted off each other, several streaked toward Hasty.
Normally, if the speed were manageable, he could dodge—but both were sparring with full commitment, unleashing supersonic velocities so tremendous that even Hasty struggled to evade.
Furthermore.
“Starlight Bloom.”
Even Hanalin, who had been using silent casting, now chanted aloud, layering her inner mindscape even thicker into the spell.
Cosmic mist bloomed around the star, and nebulae materialized. Hanalin shaped them into a razor-sharp form and hurled it toward Dohyun.

Third Technique
Starlight Bloom
As the true Starlight Bloom hurtled toward him with lethal sharpness, Dohyun knew this was far from over. He didn’t merely control his magic—while observing her attack, he simultaneously deployed the Birdman and unfolded countless magic circles.
Countless magic circles materialized behind Dohyun’s back, intertwining and moving like a single colossal mechanism, their gears meshing and rotating in perfect synchronization.
Was this what gazing into the inner workings of a grand clock felt like?
As countless magic circles interlocked and rotated, they shared effects with one another, 『fusing』 to unleash magic infused with the power of Destruction.
Though unnamed, if he were to name it, perhaps it would be this:
“Stellar Collapse.”
A wave of Destruction rippled outward, and a razor-sharp nebula cut through it.
Yet the wave of Destruction was not easily severed. In that instant, the true power of Hanalin’s summoned nebula—her Starlight Bloom—erupted.
The moment they collided, a violent explosion detonated from within, and the wave of Destruction spread outward, enveloping it.
As the two creatures swelled their massive forms to devour each other, Hasty furrowed his brow and retreated further to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Those two had clearly forgotten this was a Safe Zone.
Otherwise, they would never be capable of waging such a catastrophic battle here.
The moment Hasty watched with obvious exasperation.
A wave that brought everything to Destruction rippled outward, collapsing all the explosions before the wave itself dissipated and vanished.
Spells that had mutually annihilated each other.
Yet between those spells, a fragment of nebula remained—infinitesimally small—and Hanalin seized the opening, moving the nebula fragment along with a star.
Pop!
The instant the star positioned itself at the center between Dohyun and Hanalin, Dohyun felt a chill and immediately attempted to cast magic.
But Dohyun realized he was already too late.
He was already at the perilous edge of the star’s range, and because he had disabled Analysis’s function to read attack trajectories, he had overlooked it.
And in that moment, Hanalin’s secret technique was revealed through the star.
The star’s noble light and tremendous gravity unfurled, reaching toward Dohyun with an outstretched hand, and there was no way for him to evade it.
Thus began a powerful gravitational magic that momentarily intertwined the Astral Plane and reality.

Sixth Incantation
Dimensional Severance
A binding technique that shackled space itself unfolded, and in that instant, Dohyun became completely immobilized.
Now Dohyun existed in reality while not existing, and existed in the Astral Plane while also not existing.
And in this moment, Dohyun swiftly understood.
‘My mana won’t move.’
Magic must be activated by being expelled from the mana heart. I activated magic by mixing the mana dwelling within my inner self with the mana of the midair around me, but now that the Astral Plane and reality were intertwined, that process became impossible.
In other words, by becoming half-belonging to the dimension of magic, I had entered a contradictory state of impossibility.
Within that contradictory state, Hanalin created another star besides the one binding Dohyun and cast magic toward him.
The same magic she had first used against Dohyun unfolded once more, and his vision turned pure white.

Fifth Incantation
Light-Speed Piercing Blade
Unable to evade that inescapable beam attack, Dohyun had no choice but to infuse his inner energy with the power of Destruction and shatter everything around him.
It was an action impossible through magic alone, but the moment I used inner energy to execute footwork, I could use it immediately, and using inner energy imbued with Destruction’s power, I extended my fist toward the Light-Speed Piercing Blade hurtling toward me in the same manner.
Boom-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!!!
In an instant, space trembled as if time itself spun dizzily, and this entire area warped before returning to normal.
The attack had clearly failed, so why?
Hanalin smiled brightly and spoke to Dohyun.
“Inner martial arts! You used inner martial arts, didn’t you!?”
Strictly speaking, it was more the manifestation of my Inner Mindscape through inner energy rather than true martial arts, but what else would you call it?
Dohyun had no choice but to concede, raising both hands in surrender.
His magic was still immature, and because he had failed to analyze Analysis’s attack trajectory with Analysis itself, he couldn’t claim to have fought at full strength, but Dohyun decided at least not to make such petty excuses.
A loss is a loss—what excuse could there be?
Dohyun acknowledged it as such.
“Phew, I concede. You got me this time.”
“Really!? Truly!?”
Hanalin bounced excitedly in place, her feet tapping rhythmically against the ground.
Of course, Hanalin knew well enough that if Dohyun had mixed martial arts into his magic, she wouldn’t have stood a chance against him.
But when it came to magic alone, she had still managed to win against Dohyun, hadn’t she?
This was truly significant.
If Jiyuchan claimed he could defeat Dohyun through martial arts alone, could he actually pull it off?
There was no way.
While this exchange revealed how infrequently Dohyun relied on magic in his daily practice, Hanalin was far too delighted to dwell on such details.
Dohyun watched Hanalin’s joy with a satisfied smile and spoke.
“Narin, you’re the number one magic user in the Overseer Party.”
The moment Dohyun said this with a slight grin, Hanalin—who had been celebrating her magical victory—suddenly furrowed her brow at him in exasperation.
Number one? What did that even mean?
Hanalin blinked, hearing the unfamiliar phrasing for the first time, and asked him to clarify.
“Sorry, what’s… number one magic user?”
“Magic number one.”
Dohyun answered with a serious expression.
Hanalin’s face twisted in genuine displeasure as she asked carefully.
“…Do we really… have to use that term?”
Seeing how much Hanalin disliked it—enough that she’d almost concede Dohyun’s victory if it meant avoiding the title—Dohyun chuckled and replied.
“Of course not. Anyway, you’ve improved tremendously. Congratulations.”
“Mm-hmm, thank you. Hehe.”
Hanalin, who had been feeling anxious about falling behind lately, now showed considerable confidence from this opportunity, allowing Dohyun to finally feel relieved.
In fact, Hanalin had harbored similar doubts ever since Dohyun obtained Genesis.
She had even wondered if her existence in this party would have any meaning if Dohyun became proficient in magic as well.
But through this encounter, she realized that Dohyun had been neglecting magic all this time.
Perhaps it was simply because he preferred martial arts to magic.
“Because you’re here, I’ve been neglecting magic, and now you’ve surpassed me,” Dohyun said.
Hanalin laughed brightly at his words and replied.
“Magic was always my specialty anyway~!”
Watching Hanalin laugh so cheerfully and spin around the Sparring Hall with such enthusiasm, Dohyun scratched his cheek and muttered to himself.
“I should practice magic more.”
Still.
“Seeing her this happy, maybe I’ll let her have this for now.”
* * *
Around the time Dohyun and Hanalin were sparring.
That is to say, two days after the Overseer Party had re-entered the B-Rank Zone, there were those whom the Overseer Party had completely forgotten about.
Four Elves had gathered inside the Ancient Black Tree, a structure that towered as tall as a building.
They were known as the Elder Lords, those who bore responsibility for all Elves, and their gathering here had but one purpose.
The Great Realm had been disrupted by the abominable Divine Assassin Squad and the Draxion Dimension.
“…Our Great Realm has undoubtedly been exposed.”
“…Moreover, one of our treasures has been stolen from us.”
“…The Seer can no longer endure.”
“We must obtain 『Transcendence』.”
Everyone was on high alert.
The only party capable of obtaining Transcendence right now was that human party in the B-Rank Zone.
But no one here was unaware that they were currently untouchable—that very fact was why they had gathered.
No brilliant strategy had emerged, yet they could not simply sit idle.
And they could not wage all-out war against the Draxion Dimension and the Divine Assassin Squad.
Furthermore.
“Those two abominations alone are already overwhelming….”
“And now the Celestials….”
“Normally, we should exercise caution….”
“We find ourselves in a predicament.”
Yet the Elves could not help but believe they had to act.
It was proof of how dire their circumstances had become.
In the end, the Elder Lords conceived of one stratagem and could not help but voice it.
“Sigh, we must request reinforcements from the Spirit Tribe.”
“Those bound to the Mother Tree, you mean.”
“It’s a predictable alliance, but they may still refuse.”
“That would be best. The nearest of them are said to be operating in the Depths of Bultegore?”
At those final words, all nodded in agreement.
And they spoke.
“Bring Hezeway Paraksarl to us.”
At one Elder Lord’s words, all nodded in agreement.
Before the Great Seer’s 『Transcendence』 is severed, we must obtain Transcendence anew.
If not.
“We shall be expelled from the Superior Races.”
