I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 345 Chapter 61: Special Clan(4)

Special Clan(4)

Kneeling before the monolith her father had left behind, Eisel embraced the cold, paradoxically warm ice, feeling its comforting touch. Slowly, she opened her eyes, which now glowed an even deeper shade of blue.

"...This isn't the time to be doing this."

Eisel slowly rose to her feet, her gaze fixed on the air before her.

"The Eternal Ice Palace..."

The enormous magic that encompassed the entire Reverse Mountain. A magic of unimaginable scale, something beyond Eisel's current capabilities—magic that froze and controlled space itself, a feat that seemed achievable only in the realm of fantasy. And this magic had complete dominion over Ilajeliden Mountain.

"I can see...  Flame."

The sight of Flame, her wings wounded as she fled from the angel hunter, appeared before Eisel's eyes as if she were standing right there.

The moment she saw Flame, the angel hunter fired a red arrow at her. The mana emanating from it was so overwhelming that even from this distance, Eisel could sense its power—a single hit could easily wound her severely or even take her life.

"Danger!"

Without thinking, Eisel waved her hand.

Crack!

Suddenly, an ice cliff shot up, intercepting the red arrow.

"...Ah."

Thanks to the barrier, Flame escaped unharmed. Eisel looked at her hand in awe.

"As I thought, I'm connected to it."

She had assumed there was no chance of victory against an angel hunter approaching the strength of a 7th-class mage. But with this power to control Ilajeliden Mountain...

"Breathe!"

Eisel pressed her fingers to her lips, gathering her mana.

"Rise."

She raised her fingers, and a massive ice spike erupted behind Flame, striking Alpha squarely in the torso.

Boom!

"Ugh...!"

Alpha hastily raised a shield to deflect the blow, but there was no way to completely avoid the impact. Wounded and angry, he glared at the mountain, but there was no resisting the force of nature itself.

"Fall."

Eisel summoned an avalanche to bury Alpha, then followed up with a storm to blow him away. Flame seized the opportunity to launch her counterattacks.

Eisel could feel it.

The tide was turning in their favor. Had she not escaped to Ilajeliden Mountain, they would never have stood a chance.

Was it just a coincidence?

"No, it's fate."

Fate had led Eisel to find her father's final gift.

But at the same time, a question arose.

"...How is this even possible?"

Inheritance of magic?

Sure, that's plausible... but...

It didn't make sense that such a colossal magic could still be active, powered by her relatively meager mana reserves, yet she was wielding something close to an 8th-class spell.

It was as if...

"It's as if... Father completely separated his magic from himself."

Could one completely sever their magic to pass it on?
