In a purple star live all kinds of magicians who aim to achieve the ultimate magic. Vinci achieved the ultimate goal at the age of 100. The last opponent he faced was the nine-headed dragon which uses different elements on each head.
"What? It can use lightning? This is unfair." Vinci is not convinced that the dragon can use lightning. Earlier, the dragon used fire, water, earth, wind, light (healing magic), summons (dark magic), and Teleportation, and now uses lightning.
Their battle lasted for a week. Vinci's goal is a battle of attrition. he knows that he has achieved almost unlimited mana. He can use fire, water, and lightning elements. The geniuses in this purple star can use three elements. It was only in the legends that someone was able to have five elements.
It's almost a week now and their mana pool should almost be depleted. The dragon's breath is almost in a weakened state. Vinci noticed this and took advantage of it. He unleashed his destructive spell of fire which is the phoenix. A large fire in the form of a phoenix appeared in the sky and rushes towards the dragon. The dragon cast a water spell in the form of a whale, a large whale to counter the phoenix; but since it is in a weakened state, the whale evaporated and the fire spell hit it.
The roar of the dragon is so loud when it was hit. Such a destructive spell can hurt it. Vinci took the opportunity that the dragon was burning; he immediately cast a number of lighting spells. He learned it when he faced a pack of wind wolves in the forest of oblivion. large and long spear-shaped are formed and he aimed it at the dragon's heart; he strikes the dragon's heart.
The lightning spears pierced its heart and knocked it down. He can't believe that his mana is almost depleted. He has almost unlimited mana but it doesn't mean it can't be depleted. They have been battling for a week and their spells are destructive.
Vinci is at the top of the pyramid. In this purple star, there are 7 levels of magicians. First is the beginner magician. This is the weakest of all; magicians at this level can only do single-shot or single spells. Their hair color is pink. In this world, hair color is also an indicator of a magician's level.
Second is the rookie magician; they can do triple casting. Their hair color is green. Third is the intermediate magician. They are stronger than the rookie magicians but they can only use triple casting, however, it is more refined and powerful compared to the rookie magicians. At this level, magicians learn to fly. Their hair color is yellow.
Fourth is the expert magician; they can use quad spells and their hair color is red. The fifth one is the master magician. They are more agile and quick compared to expert magicians. They can use quad-spells in a more efficient way. Their hair color is blue.
The sixth level is the legendary magician. They are known for their penta casting and super fast speed. They can use their mana well and are quick-witted. They can analyze their surroundings as well as their enemy's movements and patterns. Their hair color is purple.
The last one is the mythical magician. The strongest among all magicians. They can multi-cast. Not much is known to them since purple star's records only have legendary magicians (two to be specific). However, according to these legendary magicians, there was once a mythical magician whose hair is grey. They can determine the level of the magician through their hair. However, only those at the legendary levels can feel the aura of a much stronger magician. When they went to the forest of oblivion, in the center of the forest, they saw an old man with grey hair that exudes a much greater aura than them. It's like twice or thrice their aura. When they walk towards him to pay homage, they were sent back to the outer layer of the forest. They tried to go back to the center of the forest however, the aura can no longer be felt and there is no one in there.
Vinci is a legendary magician with a purple hair color that explains how he efficiently used his mana and how it is almost unlimited. The dragon is down and so is he. Little did he know that the dragon used his remaining mana to heal its wound to flee. When he is about to turn to the dragon to finish it, it stands up and is about to fly.
He was shocked that it is able to heal itself in that situation. However, it wasn't fully healed. There was still a big wound on its chest part. Unknowingly, Vinci casts an extraction spell; it is like telekinetic power relating to gravity that pulls any object. It's dark magic.
He is the first person in their era to have 4 elements, although the other legendary magicians in history have 5 elements.
He pulled out the heart of the dragon and killed it. He was exhausted since he has to use all his remaining mana to pull it out. The dragon's heart which is as big as his head is on his arms.
Vinci lies down in exhaustion with the dragon's heart on his chest. The destruction of their battle is evident as it almost clears the forest of oblivion from the fourth layer to the outer layer. He closed his eyes to rest from the battle.
"ow!" A crow is picking his nose. The bird thought he is dead. He noticed that he is more powerful than before. It's like five times more powerful. He didn't even bother to check himself and went back to the town near the forest of oblivion.
"Who is he? why is his hair color golden?" people are murmuring but he didn't care. He doesn't know that it is him they are referring to. He thinks that he still has purple color as he is a legendary magician.
It's only him that can feel his power but the people around him cannot feel his power. They thought he has no magic power relating to his weird hair color.
At the guild, he reported on killing the dragon however he did not bring any evidence such as the dragon's scale.
When he woke up, the heart was no longer on his chest even the dragon's body disappeared. It is impossible for other people to bring the dragon's body to the town without causing a commotion.
"You killed the dragon? You are weird and we can't even feel your magic. Are you delusional? Look at the mirror friend and tell us if you killed the dragon." An expert magician laughed at him.
He immediately looks into the mirror and is shocked about his hair. It's golden. It is different from those rookie magicians because his hair is dazzling golden. the hair strand is thick, smooth, and shiny. His complexion is white but not pale. Lips like a pink rose and he has turned back to his youth. He is one hundred years old now but he looks like in his twenties.
He can't believe it. He didn't pursue claiming that he defeated the dragon. He went back to his house with an expression of surprise. He checked his mana pool and it was white like an empty pool yet full of it. This is his first time encountering it.
Usually, magicians have a pool of mana and its color is blue. He checks if he can still cast a magic spell and he still can. He tried multicasting and he did. At that moment, he realized he is now a mythical magician however something is not adding up. His hair should be grey but why does he have golden hair?
Nothing is good with overthinking he believes so he accepted whatever it is since there is no record of mythical magicians.
He went to the town to buy vegetables and meat for his dinner. In the town, he can hear the people's weird comments and see their expressions. In this world, they look up to the strong magicians and bully the weak.
"Look who is here. Isn't it the one who killed the dragon?" a bully blocked his way. It is just an intermediate magician yet so bold.
"Hey! You don't have mana, right? Wow! You might be the first normal person in this world. Hahaha!" He added, wanting to humiliate him.
His pride as a strong magician can't take it and he just waves his hand and it made the bully fly to the other aisle. Everyone is shocked.
A group of expert magicians gathered around to beat him.
Tornados, fireballs, water balls, lightning rods, and earth spikes are the spell shot at him yet he only used a windshield to block all of them and he sent them all flying.
After buying all the ingredients for dinner, he went home. As he was slicing the vegetables, many expert magicians gathered at the front of his house shouting asking him to come out. He opened his door and wave his hands to throw them out back to the town. What he used is a combination of telekinesis and wind spells. He already knew the coordinates where to send them. he doesn't want to kill them since they don't have any killing intent. Those experts just want to challenge him.
This goes on for a week when groups of expert magicians knock on his door. Even master magicians tried but to no avail and were sent back to the village. This was heard by the royal kingdom.
The news fell to the ears of the king that there is a strong magician in a town near the oblivion forest, the oblivion town. The forest is called oblivion because everyone who enters it forgot what happened inside. Only those at the legendary level are safe from this curse.
"Send the Royal magicians." The king ordered. He wants to check the authenticity of this news. He ordered them to bring him this person.
This Royal magicians are composed of master magicians and quasi-legendary magicians. These are the best magicians known in the entire kingdom.
Fifty master magicians and ten quasi-legendary arrived in town which made the eyes of the people almost bawled out. "What's happening?" someone asked.
"Where is the golden-haired magician that beats every magician who challenged him?" The leader asked one of the town's people.
"He is living alone on that hill. The only house on that hill is his." The person answered.
All the magicians fly to the hill in a formation. Quasi-legendary magicians are at the front. They arrived at his house. Vinci noticed the uncommon amount of magic power. There are auras of almost legendary figures.
He went out to give them respect.
"Good evening. What brings you here in my house?" He asked politely.
"The king ordered us to bring you to the palace. He wants to meet you. We heard that you are very strong. If I may ask, what is your level?" The leader stated.
"My level is not important. Why does the king want to meet me?" he asked with curiosity.
"We don't know the reason, however, we are ordered to bring you back in any circumstances. In the instance that you refuse, we will do anything to bring you back." The leader stated with full of authority.
"That's interesting. Don't worry, I also want to meet the king. But before that, do you want to have a spar?" Vinci wants to convince every one of them that he is not someone they can just touch and order.
"What's your name?" He asked the leader.
"I am Leon, the leader of the group." The leader replied.
"Alright Leon, in our spar it is not just you Leon against me but all of you against me." He told him that he is sparring with all of them at once.
Leon felt offended as he is almost a legendary magician but he was looked down on by Vinci.
"Everyone in your position." Quasi-legendary magicians will be the ones engaging in battle while the rest are supporters.
Leon cast a shield on his house so it will not be destroyed.
They went somewhere far just to make sure no one aside from them gets hurt.
" Phoenix" one of the quasi-legendary cast a destructive fire spell. The night becomes almost a day as it brightened the surroundings. This is to check Vinci's power.
Vinci looks up and thought how beautiful this firework is. To counter this spell, he used a water dragon to put out the fire. He wants to fight with them on equal footing. He doesn't want to show his overpowered magic.
Everyone was shocked but they already expected it.
"Let the earth eat you up" a spell that creates a huge crack to trap Vinci. He used his flight spell using the fire element. A pair of wings of fire help him fly faster than them. Fireballs rain towards him but he dodges them with ease.
The clouds gathered as someone is using a large-scale lightning attack. Lightning storms at him yet he evades them all.
"Tornado, wind arrows, fireballs, water balls, ice spears, lightning, earth spikes as high as hills, phoenix breathe, whale's jump" The ten quasi-legendary magicians attack all at once.
"Fire shield, lightning shield, water shield, gravity shield." Vinci used his four elements to create a four-layered shield. The first layer is the fire shield, the second layer is the lightning, the next is the water, and the inner shield is the gravity shield. This is to make sure that when the first three layers are broken, the gravity shield will be his last defense.
These destructive spells rain on him and slowly break his shields. The first spells to hit are the water spells that break his fire shield, then the lightning, then water and wind spells, and lastly the ice and earth spells. The gravity shield holds them off and wasn't able to penetrate.
The Royal magicians cannot believe their eyes. An all-out attack combination of ten quasi-legendary magicians didn't hurt him.
"It's my turn now." Vinci said with eagerness to attack.
"Everyone on defense formation" Leon ordered his group. Forty master magicians created a huge shield while the ten are transferring their mana to the quasi-legendary.
"Ice spear (as huge as a hill), Lightning spears (he used it on the dragon), Phoenix (much stronger than the one used to attack him.)" These spells are at a legendary level since the ten combined attacks are at a legendary level too. An eye for an eye.
Seeing these many spells, the ten quasi-legendary magicians felt that they will be annihilated if they will be hit by these spells so they combined their remaining mana as well as the mana of the other ten master magicians to create a stronger shield.
"Blast them all" Vinci unleashed his spells and it created a huge explosion when it hit the shield of the Royal magicians. Smoke covered the hill. After a minute when the smoke disappears, he saw everyone knocked out.
"Did I overdo it? I made sure that they won't be hurt by it." He asked himself. However, he didn't know that the impact of the spells is the reason all of them are knocked out. He waited for everyone to wake up while looking up at the sky.
"Is this the highest level that every magician aims for?" He is wondering because having it doesn't give any thrill in a fight. You will be certain to win.
Leon wakes up first and thanks Vinci for showing mercy. Vinci assures him that it was just a spar and he doesn't hold any grudge against them They don't even have killing intent to begin with. It was a pure exchange of strength.
"Tell the king that I will visit him soon. I still have things to do." He informed Leon that he will be visiting the Royal palace.
The next day, Vinci ventures to the center part of the forest of oblivion where it was stated that there was once a mythical magician living there. As he approaches near the center, he noticed many creatures as strong as the dragon he fought however they did not harm him. They let them walk passed through them. At the center of the forest lies a small house.
"Hello! Is anybody home?" He enters the house. Nobody was there. He looked around and noticed that this is an abandoned house. At the table, there is a note. He took the note and read it.
"As you are reading this note, I am no longer in this world. I might be in another world to start a new life where there is no one who knows me. You might have too many questions about your level and why have you achieved it. At the time you killed the dragon, you woke me up from my slumber. The dragon you killed is my pet. I put this dragon to guard me, to make sure that no one trespasses my place. I once had golden hair like you right now. However, life gets boring so I created some monsters here in the center of the forest that are as strong as legendary magicians. It caused my hair to turn grey. I fought with these monsters however, they are still weak compared to me. Due to loneliness, I cast a sleeping spell on me. It will only be broken once my dragon is defeated. I believe that no one will be able to beat my dragon since it's almost comparable to a mythical magician. However, you defeated it. When I woke up, I saw you lying on the ground with the dragon's heart on your chest. I was happy that there is someone who will be as strong as me in the future. However, I didn't wait for the future to come so I transferred the heart of the dragon to you which makes your mana pool white; it means unlimited. I reshaped the dragon's body and transferred it to you that's why you have a younger look. You will not age as time is just a blink of an eye. I believe that this is your goal and I'm glad to help you out. I will be going to a blue star and starting anew. Enjoy your life - yours truly, Caden"
All the questions he has are answered as he read the note. As he is about to put down the note, there's another one on the table. It says "By the way, you are no longer on a mythical level, you are now a saint; a godlike figure. You can use any element as well as spells. I left you a book on the shelf. Help yourself. This is my last goodbye." The note disappears in thin air.
He started reading the book and after a day, everything on it has been read. He learned all the spells on it. Learning a spell is no longer difficult because, at this level, you will have a godlike understanding.
Vinci visited the Royal Palace. The king welcomed him wholeheartedly. He asked the king the reason why he wants to meet him. The king replied that he has an old friend, a legendary figure that he wants to find. Hearing that you are very strong, you might be able to help find him in the forest of oblivion.
His name is Vinci and he went there to slay the dragon and achieve the ultimate goal which is the mythical level, however, it's been a week now, and no news from him.
Vinci smiles as he is happy to hear that his old friend still cares for him.
"It is I my friend, the one that you are looking for" he replied with a smile on his face.
"What?" The king is shocked and so are the magicians present.
"You are sir Vinci? Oh my! we can't believe we fought against the legendary man himself." the magicians exclaimed.
"Why are you so young Vinci? What happened?" The king asked.
Vinci explained everything to the king and the magicians present. He told them that there is a mythical level and it is not impossible to reach, however, it still needs talent and hard work. He also told them that he reached beyond the mythical level; he is at the saint level.
The king ordered his secretary to write it down in history.
Vinci told them that reaching this level makes everything so common. There is no adventure or any thrill and excitement. He wants to leave the planet and explore the vast universe. He will start a new life in another world.
The next day, he bids farewell to the king his friend, and creates a space fissure. It is like a portal or a dimensional crack that would lead him to the other world. He learned this from the book of Caden. However, the downside of this is you will be teleported to a random world.
"Finally, I am in a new world. This is the Blue Star as Caden mentioned in his note." He is flying above the earth's atmosphere. As he comes closer, he noticed that the buildings are ruined and people are screaming.
"Don't come near me." A woman screamed however, she was eaten by a human. That human has blood all over his body and is walking strangely. It doesn't talk. The sound it makes is "grrr grrr"
"What is this?" a group of zombies approach him and he froze them.
"What is happening here? Why are they eating one another?"
