Chapter 2447 – 2447. Dark Moon
The ground where the thunderbolt fell was hollow and a cloud of dust rose up. The two level 5 magic synergized with each other. To be precise, Ice Fog further increases the power of Thunderbolt.
I gritted my teeth, glaring at the dust. I could feel his presence. He couldn’t kill Rahul even with the attack just now.
‘Rather than protecting it, the barrier that was originally around protected it.’
I glanced at Geumgang Station. The body of Diamond Works is unstable. This is because some of the burden incurred while using magic was placed on Geumgangsa Temple. Of course, I am not in perfect condition either.
‘If you continue to use magic without resting now, your mana load will definitely be ruined.’
If you take that kind of risk and use magic, can you reliably deal with Rahul? I’m not sure.
‘I’m not in a corner enough to take a risky gamble. What I have to do now is hold on.’
Eisa is conducting a ritual behind me. When the ritual is completed, if the God of Magic does nothing, it will be ruined, but for now, the God of Magic is the one with the highest chance of victory.
‘If the magic god doesn’t help… ‘I’ll have to rob all my money.’
The thick dust fades and Rahul’s silhouette is visible inside.
“Know the mercy of heaven.”
His voice rang.
Light pours from the eye of the sun floating in the sky. The sun’s light burns and kills everything.
Before the light reached me, the Vajrapani stepped on the steps and lifted me up to avoid the light.
‘It’s not real sunlight. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been able to avoid it and would have been hit.’
The wasteland touched by the concentrated light bursts into flames. The land slowly disappeared. Not just turning into ashes, but complete extinction.
Light chases me. Fortunately, the speed was not fast, so the Geumgang Station carrying me easily avoided it.
“What is that light? “It’s not magic or witchcraft.”
“If it’s not magic or witchcraft, then there’s only one, right? It is the power of Akar.”
“Wasn’t Akar the god of life and transformation? He wouldn’t have been a god who used that kind of power.”
“And the god of mutation. Akar is a god who can do everything. That light will not stop until you die.”
Tdu-duk.
With the sound of something being torn apart, rocks stuck in the wasteland rose into the air. And it flies like a rock launched by a catapult. The target was not me, but Eisa, who was performing the ritual.
[Use moment. Stacks remaining: 10]
I quickly devise a technique and use magic.
[Stone Wall]
A stone wall rises from the ground and blocks the rocks that are fired.
Quack! Bang!
Stone Wall eventually collapsed, but was able to block the rocks that were thrown at it.
Tdu-duk.
Also, in the wasteland, rocks rise into the air. This time, I’m targeting Eisa, not me.
[Stone Wall]
As before, raise a stone wall to block it.
I found his attacks clunky. I thought he was trying to save my strength and catch me off guard, but I was already exhausted.
‘Even if he’s hiding his secret trick, he doesn’t seem to have any intention of using it right now.’
A war of attrition continues.
He attacks and I block. The sun’s light, which burns and destroys everything, is still chasing after me.
‘It’s not good.’
Stone Wall. Even though it is a magic with high mana efficiency among level 3 magic, I am now experiencing quite a bit of burden just by using magic. Moreover, even Geumgang Station is in operation.
I have enough mana and can fire 2-3 Thunderbolts. The mana rod will be broken before then.
‘I can’t use phase shift. The downside to phase shifting is that the magic being maintained is canceled. Now, the Geumgang station that carries me has disappeared.’
I have to run on my feet, avoid the light, and protect Eisa with magic. When the situation gets worse, it gets worse, and it doesn’t look like it will get better.
Tingling. Cold sweat flows. The mana load is at its limit, and it is sending a signal of pain.
‘At least once… !’
[Stone Wall]
The ground shakes and then stops.
Magic failure.
The rock aimed at Eisa without stopping.
[Phase Shift]
Replaces it with the original Mana Rod. Geumgang Station has disappeared and Geumgang Jeo is floating in the air. I held the diamond tightly. Fazizik. Naturally, an electric current popped out.
‘Geumgang Trust… !’
I threw the Diamond Trust with all my might at the rock targeting Eisa. The Geumgang Trust becomes lightning and flies, piercing the rock and shattering it to pieces.
There is no time to remain still. You must avoid the sun’s light as it falls from the sky.
Crash.
The shackles on my ankles block my movement. The shackles made of rock were connected to the ground.
“I thought targeting Eisa would reveal a gap.”
“Rahul… !”
“Having something to protect is annoying. Even if I can’t keep it, nothing much will change.”
I called Geumgang Trust. I quickly grabbed the Diamond Trust that returned to my hand and threw it towards the shackles. Naturally, Geumgang Trust broke the shackles. However, taking advantage of that gap, new shackles appear and grab my legs.
‘Shit. This happened with proper magic… !’
I use magic at the risk of damaging my mana rod.
“… ?!”
The movement of the mana rod is smooth. I feel like something that was blocked has been released. The sunlight coming towards me also disappeared.
The world started to get dark. I looked up at the sky for a moment and saw that the sun had disappeared, and the night sky had taken its place there. A night sky filled with countless shining stars. I felt a presence there. A presence so great that, paradoxically, it does not feel great. That being is clearly looking at me.
‘Did Eisa succeed in the ritual…? .’
I took a deep breath.
Mana fills this space. Elemental. I feel the magic.
There is no need to break the shackles of the earth that hold my legs.
Hold the Diamond Spirit and use magic. The procedure was completed at a speed that was incomparable to usual times.
‘This is not a case of chanting magic through a spell, but the feeling that a spell followed as you chanted magic.’
A magic circle is drawn right in front of you. I briefly put blood on the blade of the vajra and then placed the vajra in the magic circle.
[Railgun]
The Diamond Trust had surpassed the speed of sound and reached Rahul.
The Diamond Trust was in a power struggle with the translucent barrier of land that protected Rahul. Originally, it should have lost its power and fallen, but Geumgang Trust is not simply a bullet for a rail gun. As a bonus, there was an additional magic placed on the Diamond Trust.
I dig it!
Geumgang Trust released a thunderbolt to break through the barrier. Rahul frowned and took out his necklace from his pocket.
A necklace very similar to the one Eisa had. It is a necklace of fortune.
“… I never thought you’d make me take out my teacher’s things. I don’t like it.”
Crispy!
One of the three stones breaks.
The power of the thunderbolt emitted from Geumgang Trust has decreased. It was seen that the power of Geumgang Trust was rapidly declining.
At this point, I activated the magic I had prepared in advance.
[Blood clot]
Blood-red lightning exploded. It was a much more powerful output than I expected. Dozens of red thunderbolts struck the barrier.
Crispy!
The necklace of ashes he was holding all shattered into dust. The barrier and blood lightning disappeared at the same time, and the powerless Diamond Trust fell to the floor.
“The thick skin has finally been peeled off.”
After.
Lightning flashed from the exhaled breath. All conditions were met.
“You… !”
Rahul glares at me and then looks up at the night sky in shock.
[Thunder Break]
A huge lightning bolt struck Rahul. A shock wave occurs as if a large bomb exploded.
One more step.
[Thunder Break]
Kwahahah Ahh!
As the belated sound of thunder began to pound, the last shot fell.
[Thunder Break]
Pajik, Pajijik…
In the place where the lightning struck, the lightning did not disappear and remained, burning the ground. I laughed out loud when I saw Rahul kneeling. Rahul was alive with her entire body charred.
“It is a thunder break that has the power to erase a small hill. Are you still alive after being hit three times in a row? What an outrageous tenacity. Did you use the rock magic and become the rock itself?”
One more shot.
It would have been possible for me now. It was time to use magic again. Rahul’s body split open, and a large eyeball popped out. Eyeballs are watching me. And the world changed.
A land that pulsates and squirms as if it is alive. Flesh trees planted here and there, eyes embedded in the sky. My intestines are crawling and blood is gushing out. The nausea-inducing odor is a bonus.
It was a disgusting space even to breathe.
‘… Hallucination? No. The moment I made eye contact with it, it was forcibly transferred. Is God? You did something outrageous.’
Honey rice cake.
The ground seemed to shake and something popped out.
A brain over 30 meters in diameter.
Something tentacle-like protruded from it. The eyeball on the tip of the toksu is looking at me. I just look.
“… “What are we going to do?”
-You are bait. If that abominable thing is your favorite… I’m sure he’ll go out of his way to find it.
That said. Thoughts penetrate directly into my head. It was a very unpleasant feeling.
Procrastination.
The tentacles are wriggling. It was as if he was admiring.
-You can’t even report me on such a trivial topic. Indeed, that is the nature of the chosen human being. Won’t you serve me?
“… What is the price? “I wonder what God can give me.”
-Evolution. You will evolve in the direction you want. If you want, you can even become a god.
I held back from bursting out laughing. Become a god with divine power? It was clear that no matter how I became a god, I would fall under this guy.
“Refuse. “I don’t want to become a disgusting god like you.”
-Cheeky.
Akar swings his tentacles.
Slow.
We can respond.
Open the Astral and use the Mana Rod…
‘Mana… ‘No?!’
There is no mana.
The mana within me.
Mana must also be in the atmosphere.
It seems as if common sense called mana does not exist in this world.
It was a time when I was panicking.
A translucent barrier surrounded my body and blocked the tentacles.
Magic. But it wasn’t the magic I used.
-You’re here… ! Meltes… !!
I can feel Akar’s hatred.
I looked back. At that moment, consciousness is forcibly pulled away. I tried to refuse, but I complied because I didn’t feel any malice.
It was a half-ruined palace. Shining stars can be seen between the cracks of the broken palace.
‘Night sky… No. Is this space?’
I looked straight ahead. I saw a woman sitting on a throne.
Blonde and golden eyes.
Her hair and eyes seemed to shine on their own.
A white cloth was wrapped around her beautiful and voluptuous body. Clothes that seem to fall off at the slightest movement. It was similar to the costumes of Ancient Greece.
Her neck, ears, wrists, fingers, and ankles were decorated with colorful jewelry. She was obviously overdressed, but it suited her as if it were natural.
“Mortal, there is no time. I propose a deal. “I will save you from Akar, so you must save me too.”
“What is the price?”
“… “Didn’t I say I would save you?”
“According to my calculations, it doesn’t make sense. And it seems like I’m not the one who’s in a hurry.”
Actually, I am the one who is in a hurry.
If Mel Tess hadn’t helped her, most likely she would have died.
But I couldn’t bend down and enter here. Meltes saves me and I save Melset. The difference is obviously impossible to compare.
“… All magic.”
“That’s a master I like. What should I do to save you?”
“There is no way for now. But someday an opportunity will arise.”
“I don’t like vague words, but… Why are you so sure? Are you even seeing the future?”
“I can’t see your future. That’s why I can know.”
“One last thing. “Why did you give me your blessing?”
She looked at me quietly. The golden eyes were calm.
“I want to know.”
After finishing her answer, she took off the blue ring she was wearing on her left index finger and threw it to me. She was startled when she suddenly threw it, but she somehow caught it.
“This?”
“You will know when you get involved.”
With her words, she returned to the world of Akar. There was still Akar in front of her.
-Meltes… ! The presence has disappeared… Did you abandon the apostle and run away? !
I think I talked to Meltes for about 2–3 minutes, but I think the actual time that passed was less than 10 seconds. The god in front of him didn’t even notice it.
‘Even if they are the same god, their status is different.’
There was a blue ring in her hand. It is worn on the wrist of her left hand, just as Melthes wore it. She naturally learned of this ring’s abilities.
Ability to store 3 types of magic.
It was possible to store any magic without conditions and activate it without conditions. What’s surprising is that if the conditions are met, magic can be stolen.
‘I received an outrageous advance payment.’
I also naturally learned about the three magics stored in the ring. Activate one of them. The ring flashed blue light.
-… Are you using magic now? How dare you, in my territory?
“The magic stored in this ring received from Meltes can be activated without any conditions. Even if this is a world without mana and where the existence of magic is not allowed.”
-That’s unpleasant.
The sky becomes brighter.
Akar’s consciousness and my gaze turned to the sky.
A blue meteor was falling.
Popping all the eyeballs in the sky, very exciting.
[Meteor Strike]
-Meltes!! This thing to chew on… !!
Akar became angry and raised tens of thousands of tentacles from the ground. Huge tentacles tried to block the meteor, but the moment they touched the blue light surrounding the meteor, it burned and disappeared. This is not an ordinary meteor.
I used the second magic built into the ring just before the meteor hit the ground.
[Dimension Warp]
=Meltes!!!
Finally, he returned to his original world thanks to the hateful will of Akar.
