At the sudden situation, the wizards made faces full of bewilderment. Subsequently
, a large explosion also occurred in the bodies of the two catastrophic monsters who
were fighting elsewhere .
The wizards’ eyes naturally turned to the direction where they felt the magic.
rising hills. Standing on top of it was Kim Jin-cheol, the world’s strongest wizard.
Thanks to Kim Jin-cheol’s sudden joining, the situation has completely changed.
The watchtowers unfolding from his hand inflicted great damage on the calamitous beasts, and
whenever the beasts attempted a counterattack, they reflected all attacks with dozens of discs.
It was an overwhelming force that was hard to believe even after seeing it with my own two eyes.
Dealing with five catastrophic monsters with a single body was not in the realm of humans.
“…Every time I see it, I can only think of how wonderful it is.”
No, the word wonderful is not enough.
It was a monster in human clothing.
Lee Seo-joon nodded his head in sympathy with my muttering.
“…I know. Even if I practice all my life, I probably won’t be able to get close to my grandfather’s toes.”
Uncharacteristic of Lee Seo-joon, he spits out words with low confidence.
I took my eyes off Kim Jin-cheol’s battle and turned my gaze to him.
“If it’s you, it’s possible.”
Then Lee Seo-joon laughed.
“Thank you for your words.”
I shook my head and looked back at him.
“I’m serious. You
are more talented than anyone I know.”
Lee Seo-jun’s [Genius] trait.
The gap may be large right now, but as we grow older and gain new realizations one by one, we will become closer to Jincheol Kim.
At my praise, Lee Seo-joon made a subtle expression as if he felt ashamed and said with a playfulness.
“Well, getting over you is the first priority.”
“I was what…
back then.
“…sigh.”
I felt strong dizziness along with deep dizziness.
The strength in her legs gave out and she barely maintained her balance, almost collapsing.
“Seonwoo. are you okay?”
Yoon Ha-young approached me before I knew it and said to me.
“are you okay. It’s because I used too much mana.”
I turned my attention to the summons. As
he maintained the summoning of the two giant summons,
the phenomenon of magical exhaustion was about to come.
Fortunately, Kim Jin-cheol stepped forward and the reason to keep summoning them disappeared.
I canceled the summoning of the Great Spirit.
After that, a pure white light erupted, and the Great Spirit disappeared.
And this time he turned his attention to Gretel.
Gretel, who had grown huge, was also slowly losing her strength.
Even after the duration of [Rapid Growth] had expired, he had been forcibly maintaining his strength, and his body
had reached its limits.
Gretel looked down at me with pensive eyes and began to shrink.
Woowoung …
and warm energy.
Like pollen scattered in the spring breeze, Gretel’s body scattered beautifully.
I walked slowly towards the disappearing Gretel.
In its place, a small sprout was sleeping soundly.
I carefully lifted the Gretel along with the dirt.
“Gretel. great job.”
Soon, Sprout Gretel fell in love. and disappeared
He had completed his mission and was released from the summons.
I turned my gaze to Kim Jin-cheol, who was fighting a fierce battle alone.
As the battle intensified, the air around them shook greatly and all sorts of natural magical phenomena were taking place. Some
people suffered
from the overwhelming power of the collision, unable to breathe properly.
Whoops!
That moment when Black Dragon’s huge black sphere and Kim Jin-cheol’s remote hit met.
Faaaaang!
The space was distorted, and Kim Jin-chul’s figure began to blur as if it were covered in fog.
Yoon Ha-yeong was taken aback by the strange phenomenon.
“…what? Am I the only one who sees the surroundings blurry?”
“be careful. It’s the beginning of a magical disaster phenomenon.”
“A magical disaster?”
Yoon Ha-yeong looked back at me and asked.
“You learned it at the Magic Academy. A phenomenon that occurs when powerful magical forces collide.”
“…No, I know that.”
It seemed that a new disaster was about to happen as the illusory phenomenon unique to the Black Land collided with strong magic power.
It is also the cause of why catastrophic level monsters are called ‘catastrophes’.
The powerful magic they possess is enough to change the environment around them.
It was like the ‘dimension rift phenomenon’ created by the Balaur.
Even so, this is too sudden.
And Kim Jin-cheol, who can be seen faintly from a distance, also
stopped moving for a moment as if he was embarrassed by the situation.
Then, once again, the magic power created a great wave.
At the end of my gaze, there was something floating in the air.
A jewel that radiates tremendous magical power.
The identity of that jewel is…
“…the core of mana’?”
It was a relic containing infinite mana possessed by Zaun.
I suddenly realized the cause of this phenomenon. It was to use
the collision between Kim Jin-cheol and the catastrophic monster to
rapidly change the battlefield environment with mana cores.
I quickly turned my gaze to Lee Seo-joon.
Perhaps because of the magic phenomenon, his eyes were blurry and he couldn’t see his face properly.
“This Seojun?”
—Kim Seon-woo? where are you now
Not only the face, but also the voice was muffled.
The voice gradually
faded, like his face. I bit my lip.
Seojun Lee and I have [Silver Moon Season], an illusion immunity magic.
Nevertheless, the fact that this phenomenon is seen is proof that it is not a simple illusion.
I reached out to grab him. But my hand was stirred in the air.
And the little voice heard again.
At the same time, someone’s silhouette came into view blurry in front of my eyes.
I grabbed it quickly so as not to miss it this time.
Flash!
But what I caught was not Lee Seo-joon.
“…Senior Seo?”
It was Seoyoon Choi. Her bewildered eyes seemed to be confused by the situation.
“Write.”
Maybe Jin Chun-woo intended to target Lee Seo-joon.
We must find him as soon as possible.
I said holding her hand tightly.
“You could end up lost, so don’t leave me.”
“yes? … Ah yes!”
Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with thick fog.
And the fog gradually froze and reflected Choi Seo-yoon and me like a mirror.
I felt as if I had entered a dimensional rift.
“What do I do now?”
“We need to find Lee Seo-joon.”
The problem is that you never know which enemy you will encounter in this phenomenon.
Most of all, I’m in a situation where my body’s mana is almost exhausted…
Since I have to conserve my abilities for a confrontation with Jin Cheon-wu, I must avoid encountering a strong enemy.
If anyone ever encounters a cataclysmic monster in this place…
then it’s really a crisis.
“Let’s move first.”
So we ran forward.
How long did you have to wander in the fog?
Due to the fast mana regeneration effect, half of the mana that had run out was filled.
It was an amount of mana that would be inconceivable if he encountered a cataclysmic monster, but at this level, it was enough to easily defeat an ordinary monster army.
I felt strange walking down the street like that
. It seemed different from a simple natural magical phenomenon.
Should I say it’s like a road to some destination?
Choi Seo-yoon seemed to feel it too and told me.
“…doesn’t it seem like nature is guiding us along the way?”
“huh. I thought so too.”
These natural phenomena usually cause humans to get lost.
However, the vague scenery seen in the fog seemed to lead us somewhere.
“…maybe a trap.”
Then, once again, strong magic power spread out from somewhere.
At the same time, Choi Seo-yoon and I stopped walking, feeling the tension.
Unusual energy….
Something huge was coming towards us, though we couldn’t properly measure it due to the magical power of the fog.
If it was a being of that size, there was a high possibility that it would be a cataclysmic monster.
“Write.”
I bit my lip.
If the existence across the fog is truly a cataclysmic level monster, the situation becomes serious.
If I’m going to deal with him now, I’ll have to use most of my abilities against Jin Chun-wu.
“It’s a big deal.”
“…What happen?”
“The plan went awry.”
It was time to stare through the fog feeling so uneasy.
In the fog, something with strong magic slowly appeared.
“..A long time?”
However, it was a little different from what I expected.
A handsome man holding a huge spear in one hand.
And a calm-looking man standing next to him.
It was Baek Eun-seong and Jin of Zaun.
It seemed that the size was huge, it must have been because of the distortion of the space and the two of them together.
A moment of laughter broke out.
“…lucky.”
“What? Why are you laughing?”
Baek Eun-seong glared at me and said, as if my laughter was offended.
I looked at him and smiled.
“It’s so nice to see you.”
“…Nice to meet you?”
At my words, Baek Eun-seong narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that my self-esteem was hurt by my leisurely appearance.
Soon, a vicious lifeblood spewed out around his body.
“…Seniors.”
Choi Seo-yoon, feeling the tension, grabbed my hand tightly.
It’s a natural reaction. The opponent is an executive of Zaun, the world’s worst criminal group.
In addition, due to the battle with the monsters, mana was not intact.
It was obviously not a good situation for us.
At that time, Baek looked at Eun-seong’s hands and burst into laughter.
“But what are you? Are you two dating?”
“…As you know, the magic of the fog is unusual.”
He said that, but in fact, at some point, the fog’s mana stabilized
.
Even in a situation where she could have let go of her hand, she doesn’t let go.
“So why did you come to see me? It would be too much for the two of you to face me alone.”
Baek Eun-seong frowned at my words, which seemed like a provocation.
“what? do you want to die?”
Then Jin grabbed his shoulder.
“calm down. We’re not here to fight. There’s something I need to check first.”
…what should I check first?
Looking at them with suspicious eyes,
Jin said.
“Kim Seon-woo. I came to hear the answer to your proposal.”
“If it’s a suggestion…
Jin nodded.
“Join God’s plan. He can do what you want. Isn’t it your dream to return to your hometown?”
At that moment, Choi Seo-yoon’s hand, which held my hand, became stronger.
When I turned around, she
was looking at me with anxious eyes.
I stared at her in silence, then turned my gaze to Jin.
“Nope?”
At my words, Jin narrowed his eyes.
“…don’t you want to go back to your hometown?”
“Hometown……:
The scenery of my hometown came to mind.
family friends people I miss. In an instant, a smile formed on my lips without my knowledge.
“I don’t want to go back. Because there are precious people
there.”
“Then, with us—”
“But I don’t want to achieve this even by joining hands with trash like you. And if you find a way yourself, that’s it.”
After answering that, he raised his middle finger toward them.
The one who summoned me to this world was none other than Jin Chun-wu. He’ll come and send you back, so cooperate?
do you have a conscience
“This bastard…!”
At that moment, Baek Eun-seong’s face contorted like a demon, and bloody magic burst out like an explosion.
After a while, his body disappeared before my eyes.
Dig!
In the blink of an eye, the spear tip of Bang Cheonhwageuk was aiming for my neck.
But it was an expected move.
I pushed Seoyoon Choi away and activated [Instantaneous Acceleration].
I quickly lowered my head at the clearly visible movement of the creature and evaded the attack.
As the mana fired from the tip of the spear was directed into the air, Baek Eun-seong calmly turned his body and continued the next attack.
As expected, he had surprisingly quick judgment, befitting a strengthening magician who was counted among the top 10 in the world.
however.
I also became stronger by gaining numerous battle experiences and new abilities.
It means that he is not the Kim Seon-woo of the past who ran away from Baek Eun-seong.
Swoop!
Black energy poured out of my body.
My senses became sharper, and a strong force spread from the depths of my chest along with a shallow impulse.
partial runaway.
As it was a situation where he had to conserve his strength, he activated his deadly ability to firmly subdue him in the first place.
“..r
Baek Eun-seong reacted in bewilderment when he saw me suddenly changed.
But I had no intention of giving him time to think.
With one hand, I snatched his arm, and with the other hand, I materialized a black sphere and slammed it down on his back.
Wow!
“Keah!”
“Baek Eun-seong!”
Jin belatedly tried to intervene, but it was meaningless. I quickly
unleashed a magic orb at him
before he could move .
Fain!
The orb containing the black demon energy penetrated Jin’s shoulder.
“Keuuugh!”
Jin’s face contorted in pain.
At that moment, as if the damage had been recovered, Baek Eun-seong rushed after me.
It happened in an instant, so I couldn’t react properly this time.
Dig!
In the end, his spear swung fast and blood gushed out of my back.
“done!”
The man’s expression brightened instantly. Well, that’s for a while.
The wound on my back was restored to its original state in an instant.
“What is this…
Baek Eun-seong’s expression hardened in an instant, and I recreated the black sphere and thrust it into his stomach.
Wow!
“Keah!”
Baek Eun-seong’s body flew right next to Jin and collapsed.
I took a short breath and removed the runaway shoes.
It is also a dangerous force. Even though it was not used for a long time, the mental burden was great.
Time to save the remaining energy for Jin Chun-wu.
I took a short deep breath and tidied up the messy mana in my body.
“…Senior Seo, are you okay?”
«Uh yy *O“-
I nodded to Seoyoon Choi who was examining my scars.
After that, I slowly walked towards Baek Eun-seong and Jin who had fallen on the floor.
They were looking at me with trembling eyes.
Rather than the joy of overpowering the two members of Zaun, he only wanted to recover from this fatigue quickly.
I embodied a magic orb over the palm of my hand.
“…Wait!”
Then Jin’s sharp voice burst
out. When I looked at him for something, he said.
“He has something to tell you.”
“I should have said it. If it’s going under you all—.”
“He studied dimensions for a long time.”
“…Suddenly what is that?”
I shut my mouth for a moment.
