Part 20

**Part 20** is the twentieth part of the Karsearin: The Biography of the Super Dragon.

## Plot

The surrounding area of Zakarnan Castle, which is heavily shadowed by darkness, is already surrounded by hundreds of flames. They are campfires for the Karsel army. The Karsel forces have completely surrounded Zakarnan Castle and are waiting for orders to charge, while Darios and Gaster continue to talk while going down the hill. He tells Gaster that the siege is over, and they will have to occupy the castle within tonight to meet the time, he asks but if there is any other useful magic like make them all obey. He tells Darios that mages are not some kind of god, and with such magic, all the kings of the world would have come from mages. He says then there's no way they wouldn't bleed, he'd like to think of a way to shed as little as possible,,, as they are already in a predicament, the resistance will not be formidable, so it is desirable to maintain the power as much as possible,, he has to think about what will happen later. He asks Darios if he thought of any good way to do that. The two have now descend all the way down the hill, and Karsel's center camp comes into their sight. He says that if it's that wall here, the distance isn't much different from the previous one, but like before, if he cast a curse such as making them engulf them in fear, he'll be able to easily capture it. Darios glances at the high walls of Zakarnan and asks a question to Gaster, who responds in a slightly annoyed tone. He asks that the curse of fear is the Fourth Circle, and the curse that can be cast from this distance is limited to the Second Circle,, and even if Batran's army is reduced, there will still be 3~400 left in that castle, if he will curse all those people. He says he doesn't ask he cast the soldiers all, but only a few of the humans who appear to be the bosses, and asks if there are any First or Second Circles of curse, not the Fourth Circle, previously, he solved it with First Circle magic enough. He says the ［Impotenz Other］ he used earlier was a curse on the onset of premature ejaculation, and when he developed it, it was just a strange side effect that accidentally interrupted the flow of mana, he wasn't trying to make a First Circle magic containment spell, that magic with such useful side effects isn't common. He says in Serkarsel, he is locked up in his room, researching hard, and in the end, he only managed to get the premature ejaculation curse magic, he asks if there's anything else. He says in addition to that, he also developed a Second Circle alopecia curse magic.. there is one more,, what is that,, oh, it was a fishy odor removal spell. Darios continues his speech while looking at Gaster with a disappointed expression. He says if he wanted to develop it, he would do something plausible, he only developed something so strange, then he asks, why he created the curse of premature ejaculation or the curse of alopecia. He says to Darios that he didn't make it because he didn't want to develop it, useful spells have already been completed and passed down from ancient times, so he should developing it what the ancient mages didn't think of it, and the curse of alopecia is for His Majesty Latisse, and premature ejaculation is ,,,uhm, actually, he's a little weak lately,,,, so he asks he doesn't gossip about it. He says he was trying to use it as an anti-spell. Anti-Spelling, a generic term for a reverse spell of magic. Curse can also be said to be an anti-spell of sub-magic. If you use recovery magic in reverse, it turns into a powerful corrosive curse. Likewise, if the curse of corrosion is used in reverse, it becomes a recovery-type spell. So, contrary to popular belief, even a black mage can use any number of recovery-type magic, and a white mage can use any number of brutal attack magics. In other words, it was rare for a mage to use both black magic and white magic because there was no inconvenience in using them even if they did not learn both black and white magic. If only one well is dig and water is gushing out, why dig two wells? Both wells have the same water quality. He tells Darios that magic isn't as simple as he thinks, and there's no end to it if he dig deeper, and the higher the circle the development rate is getting smaller, is it different for him, he tries to develop it when he's bored, with only First or Second Circles.

The unit of measuring the level of magic divided into 'Circles' is derived from the figure of the flow of mana that the mages compose in their envisioned space. According to the number of circles in the shape of the shape of light drawn by mana as it flows through the envisioned space, it is divided according to the standard of how many circles it is. In the case of First Circle magic, all the flow of mana ends in one circle, so it is called First Circle and Second, Third, Fourth like this the number of circles drawn increases as the circle increases in this way. Moreover, since the circles overlap each other three-dimensionally, the more the circle increases, the more difficult it is to control mana. Anyway, because the border of basic mana is drawn in a circle, the ancient mages called it a 'Circle'. It's actually easy to challenge yourself to develop magic. If you want to develop First Circle magic, you can draw a circle that is the overall border of mana in the envisioned space, and pour mana around in it. Of course, powerful or high-efficiency magics have already been developed and handed down in ancient times, so there are few examples of proper magic being made, and if they do, they are just small magic. Among the spells made in this way, there are times when side effects with unexpected effects like Gaster's［Impotenz Other］ are created, but the side effects are only side effects. Such occurrences are extremely rare, and most do not deviate significantly from their intended use. Gaster, had a lot of fun with the newly created [Impotenz Other], but if it is used frequently and is known to other magicians, its usefulness will soon disappear. As it was the first time the mages were subjected to magic, they spent time searching for the composition of the mana that constitutes the magic and were killed, but if the composition is known after using it a few more times, it will be released in less than 2-3 seconds. He tells Gaster that he should go with the orthogonal method, then goes back to the original topic and asks if there is any magic that can break down that thick looking wall. Darios points his finger at the huge gates of Zakarnan surrounded by thick steel rims. He asks Darios if he thought he was only developing spells uselessly in the castle, and he says he is a mage called a slayer, but he has to be something different, so he's not his old self, so he's not at the level where he can't destroy a castle gate like that.

P.S Well, there are many people who say that the magic part and the part about Arin's personality don't make sense. But you'll find out more as the story progresses. Something like tension. When I was thinking about the story in the first place, the early part was written for the purpose of understanding the viewers to make the settings natural, and I didn't even think that recommendations or criticisms would come up in less than a week since it started.. The settings part is not finished yet. It would have been great if I could convey the meaning of my sentence power enough. Why does mages die in one minute,, this was because it was outnumbered and a melee battle between the enemy and the allies. It's surrounded by enemies. So... I'll try to express myself more carefully thanks to the criticism. Thank you very much to those of you who have commented.
