SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

As the last prince of the Midas Race, Kuzon was gifted with the treasures of his people—the Midas Heritage.

His Ring.

His Bracelet.

His Necklace.

They all symbolized different aspects of the Midas culture, and they all possessed immense power.

‘I’ll need to resort to using one of them.’ Kuzon thought to himself, staring at the enemies that surrounded him.

~You don’t have to do this, you know? I can just manifest and destroy them, if it comes down to it, so—~

“No. I’m not making you fight. It’s my battle.” Kuzon stubbornly clung to his word.

His eyes were ablaze with determination. So much so that it surprised Ana. She hadn’t seen Kuzon look this serious before.

“Besides… this won’t take too long.” Kuzon smiled.

Xenia, his Familiar, decided to simply observe instead. Usually, she would have been on his case and done her best to tease him. But…

… She understood the state he was in.

Kuzon needed this victory.

“Hey, Fairy King. If I win this fight, will you give me the information I need?” Kuzon asked, a daring smile playing on his face.

He clutched his left arm with his right—raising the former to display a golden bracelet hidden within his sleeves.

The bracelet had strange encryptions on it, and they began to glow on his wrist.

~I DON’T CARE! KILL HIM!~

The Beruel clones all summoned dense energy in form of Aether and created light projectiles that instantly became sharp spears.

Each spear was filled to the brim with concentrated energy, and they sent all of them flying at Kuzon in a flash.

A golden-blue barrier was instantly raised around both Kuzon and Ana, shrouding them in the dome of protection.

The metallic surface of the ground took most of the damage, sending sizzling smoke spreading everywhere.

Fortunately, the barrier remained intact.

~TCH!~

“I’ll take that as a yes. In that case… I’ll show you something interesting, Fairy King.” Kuzon’s voice echoed amid the smoke and dust.

He exited the barrier made by his Familiar, walking calmly though the smoke.

‘Take care of Ana…’

>VWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH<

The bracelet on his wrist gleamed brighter than ever, now sending waves of power swirling around him.

A golden pillar of light shot through the ceiling, and everything around Kuzon cleared up instantly.

Now at the center of the chaos, right in front of the well-protected Ana, was a newly transformed Kuzon.

His body was completely gold—from top to bottom. The way he gleamed like precious stones, so captivating and royal, made all eyes fall on him.

His attire also adopted the gold attribute, and even underneath him—the ground itself—was getting drenched in his color.

“Emperor’s Transfiguration.”

This wasn’t Mage Mode. This wasn’t Elemental Chamber. This wasn’t Fusion Mode. This was… something different entirely.

“I’m ready—”

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!<

Before Kuzon could finish his statement, multiple blasts of light descended upon him. The hundred clones above baptized him with a rain of destruction.

“KUZON!” Even Ana was surprised and scared for her partner.

She believed in his power, and his newly transformed state gave her confidence. However, the power of the clones was something she had yet to experience to such a degree.

Frankly, it frightened her.

Though she was stuck in her bubble—courtesy of Kuzon’s Familiar—Ana felt impatient.

‘You better be alright, Kuzon!’

>WHOOOOOSSSSHHHH<

As though answering her thoughts, a violent pressure swirled around Kuzon, enough to push away the smoky mist that shrouded him.

He was still standing—no, at this point, he was floating—completely unharmed.

“Your attacks are useless. None of them will work.” Kuzon whispered.

Was he bluffing or not? Even the Fairy King’s clones couldn’t tell. Which was why they decided to attack once more.

‘I don’t have time for this. Xenia…’ Kuzon’s thoughts sharply summoned his Familiar.

>VWUUUUSSSHHH<

Golden light coated his body, and flame-like energy manifested all over him. At this point, he was both in Fusion Mode and his previous state.

‘Fused Emperor’s Transfiguration.’

And with his current power, Kuzon was confident enough to achieve what he wanted.

‘This is the end.’

There really wasn’t any need for him to jump around and take them all on, one after the other.

There was no need to summon massive amounts of energy to attack them. No. He had a more effective means.

“[The Emperor]….” Kuzon stared at the multitude of attacks that were being rained down from above, and he sighed.

It was all useless.

>SHUUUUUUUUU<

​ Within moments, the attacks dissolved, and everything turned into nothing but tiny particles of light.

‘Now, then, as for you all. How about… this.’

Kuzon snapped his fingers, and all hundred clones instantly experienced the unexpected—

—Death!

>VWUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM<𝓞𝑣𝐿xt.𝗰𝒐𝔪

Instantly consumed by the very Aether energy they displayed, the Clones’ bodies disintegrated, all at once.

~W-WHA—?!~

Their destruction looked like fireworks, and their brilliant detonation filled the room with blinding light.

‘Now, channeling all that excess energy right there…’ Kuzon commanded all the volatile particles of light to move in a single direction—the wall that was right in front of him.

>WHOOOOOSSSSHHHH<

Kuzon smiled as he watched the exploding shards collided with the wall, generating a massive reverberation that caused the entire room to tremble.

And then—

“There you are.”

—The walls completely broke apart, revealing something… or rather, someone within.

~Kuzon, it’s not safe to go on.~

‘You’re right. I’ll undo it.’

>VWUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM<

His golden body evaporated, leaving him to descend from the air with only a flicker of his Familiar’s blue and gold Aether.

He returned to Ana’s side, and the girl expressed relief once he was near her.

“Kuzon! Thank goodness!” She rushed to him, hugging him tightly the moment he got close enough.

‘W-whoah!’ The young Midas controlled his cheeks from going beet red, though he couldn’t help the smile growing on his face.

Kuzon could feel Ana tremble, and her breathing was somewhat heavy—her eyes were also teary.

“Thank you, Ana. I’m fine.” He returned her hug, albeit a bit awkwardly since she was much shorter than he was.

Still, even with this emotional moment, the boy’s attention did not leave the gaping hole he made in the wall.

Kuzon’s eyes glowed golden as he stared deep into the dark opening a distance from him, and his grin broadened.

He could definitely sense someone within—just as he had been able to when he had achieved the heightened state he’d previously utilized.

“Won’t you come out to welcome us, Fairy King?”
