Episode 115
My brain boiled for an instant.
“Big black?!”
The expression “boiled up” may sound strange, but from my point of view, there were no other words to express it.
It started from the moment I looked directly at the Demon God.
If he was a normal person, his brain might have been damaged and he would have become an idiot.
The unbearable truth.
Information that I would not have dared to handle as a mortal was unfolding before my eyes.
Information that will melt your brain as it is if you let go of your mind even a little bit… …
The drinker was laughing.
It seems like I’m laughing at myself trying to understand myself.
Dare to be mortal.
Maybe this is the idea
‘Calm down.’
I tried to hold on to the spirit that was about to pass.
If you get swept away here, you may literally be encroached upon by the Demon God.
If that happens, everything you’ve done so far will be meaningless.
I gritted it and endured it.
At that moment, the pressure that had been focused on me for a very short time stopped.
Embarrassingly suddenly.
‘It shook for a while.’
It was felt that the demon was momentarily perplexed.
He seemed puzzled at not being able to see through the mere mortal.
that momentary break.
I didn’t miss the chance.
I don’t think that I can overwhelm the Demon God.
Even if you look at it objectively, I’m not at all close to the Demon God at this point.
but.
‘I bet everything here.’
I don’t miss that gap and explode the holy power that was in my eyes.
[…] …!]
The demon was enraged.
Would a bug or something dare to see through itself?
Kugoong!
The ground, which had calmed down for a while, began to vibrate again.
[Stop.]
A heavy voice rang in my head.
I struggled to endure the fact that my legs almost gave out without my knowledge.
A sense of intimidation that causes fear and submission.
but.
“under.”
Rather, I laughed in front of the guy who was glaring at me.
I remembered the events before the return.
A lot of despair and sacrifice.
So, instead of being broken, I reached out to the Demon God.
and that moment.
“…under.”
reached
Although it was very brief, there was definitely a sense of ‘seeing’ something.
I grabbed it desperately.
pounding.
I can see a very brief fragment from that pitch-black giant.
‘Stop it, Asar.’
‘I hoped you would understand.’
‘Nothing is over.’
‘We are ████… …’
Dismissal!
For an instant, there was confusion in my vision.
Scenes that have just passed.
‘Is it a memory of a demon?’
I don’t know.
But that’s not what’s important now.
The important thing is the information of the demons I read in the meantime.
extinction.
destruction and horror.
A power that seemed to be a condensation of negative and destructive forces.
But I read it anyway.
[@$&@$…!]
Right after that, the Demon God started rampaging with mad rage.
Quaang!
The demon god, who had barely reached the point, cut the connection in an instant, and swung his arm at me.
But more than that, the change happened to me faster.
“haha!”
A feeling of exhilaration bursting out.
The mana that had been lagging until just now surged explosively.
The mana that soared together with the holy power began to form a ring.
The seventh ring 7th circle.
[…] …?!]
Sensing that something had changed, the Demon God tried to grab me.
However, as long as he reached the 7th circle.
“I won’t be lighthearted.”
It’s not just 7 circles.
A circle completed at the point of recognizing and gaining insight into the existence of demons.
In the first place, at the point of returning, the circle I formed was to deal with the Demon God.
A white light burst out.
‘This is fantasy. Even though the devil intervened, the nature of it did not change.’
This is not the realm of demons.
It doesn’t have the power to turn fantasies into reality outside its realm.
then.
“It destroys the illusion entirely.”
The formula for that was already completed in my head.
to each structure.
In addition, the power of the 7th circle that was just concluded is strong. You don’t have to put up with this feeling of exhilaration.
Ugh!
As it is, the holy power and mana simply fuse and begin to unfold at my fingertips.
I just rolled up my shining hand and slammed it towards the ground.
cooong!
A white light leaked from the ground, cracking the vision.
And the space around it was broken as it was.
The demon’s pupils were visible through the shards of space that were broken like pieces of glass.
I was trembling with anger.
The Demon God reached out again to grab me.
But it was too late.
He was arrogant and gave me way too much time.
An exit made in shattered fantasies.
I lightly threw my body back towards the exit behind it.
“See you later.”
[…] …!]
The angry roar of the demon god.
Somehow, I wanted to touch the guy’s reverse side a little more. So before I completely throw myself… ….
“< ■■ >.”
I don’t even know what word it is.
However, he raised his middle finger as he spoke words that clearly identified the demon’s ‘name’.
* * *
“Michael!”
As soon as I came to my senses, I frowned at the sudden pressure.
Someone said it was a set.
She was holding me tightly with tears hanging from her eyes.
“What is it all of a sudden?”
“I was worried! I thought it would come out somehow!”
“What are you talking about.”
It wouldn’t have been that long.
I’ve only been there for a short time, so what’s the fuss about it?
“Not really long…”
“It stayed like this for three days.”
“…yes?”
I opened my eyes wide at the unexpected words.
three days?
Could it be that that amount of time has passed while I fell into fantasy for a moment?
“It took longer than expected. I thought about it for a day or so.”
“To the extent that I tried to stop the illusion even by using extreme methods. Fortunately, it is no longer necessary… ….」
That extreme method probably means that Nephthys himself was prepared for his extinction.
In order to stop the fantasy, the subject has no choice but to disappear.
‘Three days more than that… …’
Well, it’s strange that a being that was about to be drunk intervened, but nothing happened.
Set burst into exasperation.
“I couldn’t believe that the demon god would intervene through an illusion…!”
“Well, from his point of view, the hero would be the most annoying.”
It would be a lie if I fully predicted the demon’s intervention, but I was prepared anyway.
‘It was obviously an overwhelming force, but.’
Apart from that, from the point of view of drinking, there was no doubt that it was a considerable amount of overdoing.
It will probably be difficult to do this intervention for a while.
He may have intervened to measure me, but instead of gaining, he only lost.
“I’m guessing the road is going wild,”
said Nephthys, with a cold smile of amusement.
“so…what did you see in him? You must have gained something.”
“Endless futility, hatred. And at the same time I knew why a divine being is called that.”
「Huh.」
“If you say you got it…I
smiled as I felt the energy of the 7th circle still clearly felt in my body.
As a test, he immediately demonstrated the magic of the 7th circle.
A cluster of light created by gathering divine power at the fingertips floated in the sky and filled the surroundings within a short time.
Circle 7 level divine magic.
Previously, I didn’t have much difficulty using divine magic, but now the level has changed.
It is more pure and natural.
「Huh.」
“…7 circles?”
The set who saw it looked at me like it was ridiculous.
“Wait a minute, you’re 22 now.”
“yes.”
“no.”
She shook her head with an even more incomprehensible expression.
“How can a person who has lived 22 years of his life be already in the 7th circle…”
She looks at me with a completely incomprehensible expression.
“It’s a little faster than I thought.”
“It’s not that fast.”
Set looked at me and said.
“Ordinary people say that the 7th circle is barely reached in their lifetime. You know that best, don’t you?”
“What is it?”
But I have already prepared an answer for this.
“But shouldn’t a hero have to do this much?”
“Hmm, that’s not wrong… …Set
tilted his head with an expression that he did not understand.
“Anyway, congratulations on reaching the 7th circle. The one who drank… …Since my intervention actually made you grow, you must be running amok.”
“I guess.”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought of the guy going wild outside the world.
“Um whooping is the 7th circle. Certainly, at this speed, it is to be expected. This is a huge income for facing that demon… …“
Of course, income doesn’t only come from reaching the 7th circle.”
“…hmm?”
“Once I got something like this.”
I picked up a stone rolling on the ground.
Then, slowly unfolding the realization gained in the process of analyzing the demon.
‘It must have been destruction and annihilation. It’s complicated and inefficient, but if you use more than a certain amount of mana as collateral… .’
groping slowly
A characteristic characteristic of a Demon God.
It seemed like it could be reproduced to some degree, if not completely.
I clearly grasp the existence and structure of the stone I hold, and explain the structure in reverse order.
“The Manifestation.”
OK.
Crisp.
The stone that had been fine until just now disappeared without a trace.
As if it never existed in the first place.
But the price was pretty high.
“…Mmm.”
Sudden feeling of weakness.
In an instant, as much as 7 circles’ worth of mana was drained.
After reproducing that realization, I let out a small sigh and said,
“For now, I tried to reproduce the realization I gained there to some extent.”
not very efficient
There are countless other magics that are effective in vaporizing opponents.
If it takes 7 circles worth of mana to turn a small stone like this into powder… ….
‘I can’t use it in real combat.’
It was when I turned my head thinking that way.
“hmm?”
Aren’t Nephthys and Set staring blankly at me?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Uh uh…?!”
Set jumped up suddenly, opened his mouth, and pointed at me with his finger.
“You you you you you…!”
“What else?”
“What else…It’s not!”
「Oh, how….」
Nephthys also shook her head and looked at me.
“Did you really just do that by analyzing the Demon God?”
“That’s right.”
Of course, the efficiency was a mess because it was improvised as it was raw.
But if the two of them were this shocked, it would be good to assume that there was something.
“Does what I have reproduced now have any meaning?”
“Yes.”
Nephthys nodded with a very firm expression.
“…It means a lot.」
I tilted my head as I looked at the two who suddenly set the mood.
If I said that I did a great job to the extent that these two reacted like this… ….
said Set.
“What you showed me now is not simply a matter of efficiency. Just because humans use it is a power that makes no sense.”
“…hmm?”
She sighed and told me.
“…< The Power of Extinction >.”
Still in disbelief, she continued.
“It is one of the main powers used by demon gods. He symbolizes the end of destruction and extinction. The Power of Extinction is to ‘evaporate’ the target from this world. In other words.”
“for a moment.”
At that point, I thought I could understand what she was trying to say to some extent.
“So what you’re trying to say is what I did… …”
“Yes!”
said Set.
“Now you’ve reproduced the demon’s authority with magic!”
Even with the human body.
Great mage who transcends by regression
