Chapter 101: Battle of Demigods (2)
My demon hunters deepened sense was telling me.
Ive definitely grown.
This was a different growth than the rise in levels and stats.
To put it simply, I felt like my skill proficiency in [Natural Enemy Relationship] had increased. Actually, there was no skill proficiency in [Natural Enemy Relationship].
But that doesnt mean I can get between those two.
Lets not forget. Know my place.
Even if [Natural Enemy Relationship] was activated.
My fighting power was poor compared to those demigods.
Furthermore.
Please take care of the demon, Chief Lee Hoyeol!
Senios didnt seem to want me getting involved in the fight. So my job on the battlefield was simple. I should do what I was good at.
Yeah, the demon hunt.
A gaze looking down at lower ones from a high place.
Indeed, this view was just like Grandfel.
I stared at the demons pouring out of the ruptures.
From the looks of it.
They looked different from ordinary demons.
It must be the demon kings army.
It looked similar to the demons I saw in Decarabia.
Lets try our best.
The demons army advanced toward me and Senios.
But naturally.
Its not a problem.
I didnt feel intimidated.
No, it was only natural that I didnt.
Apart from Grandfels pride in the face of any demons.
Compared to the question mark I saw in Banglets incident
Yeah, I had experience.
That power was on a different level.
???, the demon who appeared after breaking the rupture.
Not only that, when encountering the unknown demon who had ripped a part of the rupture and swung it, I had the experience of cutting out the arm of that fearless guy with [oddity]
Yes, my confidence was well-grounded.
I spoke in a low voice.
I wont allow further access.
At this moment when the demons were pouring in.
The degree of the rupture collapse might be increasing rapidly.
Just like Decarabia.
The Demon King was a bastard who swallowed up even his subordinates, the demons, as sacrifices.
The demon poured into the rupture, the place of the ceremony.
I couldnt just sit back and watch.
Even so.
But I wont allow you to run away either.
There was no way I would just send demons back to the Arcana continent, which was already in ruins.
So I would follow them with this heavy pride.
In other words, I had no choice but to hunt down the pouring demons.
I closed my mouth.
I believed in not having unnecessary conversations with prey.
Yes, silence was my declaration of war.
Gooo!
My magic power rose due to the effect of [Natural Enemy Relationship].
In addition, in preparation for mana regeneration, I had consumed so many bi-herbs that were good for mana regeneration without overlapping effects. I immediately worked my magic.
Crack!
I skipped the process of exploration and interference.
!!!!!
The ground where the advancing demon kings army stood shook like a carpet.
To me who had acquired all the knowledge of minerals through the [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge]. The ground was like the palm of my hand.
Crackle!!!
Demigod.
If Karimjeva made lava.
And Senios froze the atmosphere.
I could cause an earthquake.
?!?!!!
The ground split.
The demon kings army fell down.
How far had they fallen?
I didnt know but I was sure of one thing.
As expected, theyre tough.
The demon kings army.
Perhaps because they were the demons of the high-ranking demon king.
I couldnt knock them down with just one earthquake. I could tell just by looking at the level-up message that didnt appear. But I didnt hesitate.
I did it again.
Crack!
It wasnt a series of earthquakes.
Even if [Natural Enemy Relationship] was activated and I had bi-herbs. There was no way I could continuously manifest magic on a scale comparable to that of those demigods.
No matter how much the efficiency has improved.
My level was 333.
My absolute mana was lower than that.
But at this moment.
Bang!!
The ground was just like it was before.
It was making a loud noise and shaking.
The split ground.
As if trying to devour the demons that fell underground forever.
It began to close its cracked mouth.
Haha. What do you say, Karimjeva? Does he still look like an adventurer in your eyes?
!
Its useless that your head gets bigger. Weve become senile, Its time for us to step down. By the way, how long will you be looking away?
It was a sight that made even Karimjeva and Senios, who were immersed in the battle, turn their gaze.
Even to me, it looked plausible.
It was a magic that split the ground like a great earthquake and then returned it to its original state. Sounds like one hell of a high-ranking magic. But only I knew the reality.
It was just a reversal magic.
Indeed.
It was just a reversal magic.
A simple reversal magic that had transformed a silver dagger and restored its durability to its original state. Only the scale grew, and the principle was the same.
Of course, the fact that it only consumed a small amount of mana was still the same.
Its possible to get mistaken.
To Karimjeva and Senios, who didnt know my pitiful circumstances, it must have looked like a manifestation of high-ranking magic.
Of course, naturally. I had no intention of saying this lame truth out loud.
Gooo!
Reversal magic.
When the split ground returned to its original form.
The number of the demon kings army was noticeably reduced.
Those remaining were also unable to move hastily.
I looked down at the ground and said.
The only places allowed for you are underground and abyss.
Yeah, this was my best shot.
Soon, the best results began to appear in messages.
[Fracture occurs to Demon Kings Cavalry.]
[Suffocation occurs to Demon Kings Foot Soldier.]
[Burnt happens to Demon Kings Centurion.]
Sensation in the ground.
The weight of the ground.
And geothermal heat.
Its just scientific common sense at best.
If it was odd, it would also be [oddity].
As if to prove that fact.
A series of messages appeared.
[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
*
The portal had disappeared from the Mage Tower.
The news spread quickly.
What is this situation???
I just realized the importance of the tower
- Whats the point of locating the ruptures?? Theres no way to go there
Whats wrong with the Mage Tower all of a sudden??
There were some players who could use portals. However, the effect was incomparably different from the portal of the Mage Tower.
Not only does it consume an enormous amount of mana. Every time someone uses and enters the portal, the same amount of mana is consumed. So, for now, it is impossible for players to enter the ruptures in a short period of time
In other words, guilds from all over the world.
They didnt flock to Seoul, South Korea, where the Mage Tower was located.
Of course, some people found out about it earlier than the world.
Thats why they went into action.
We have no choice but to acknowledge the reality and make a choice.
Nam Taemin continued.
At our level, it is impossible to look at all 11 cracks. Especially now that the portal has disappeared. That means you need to clearly set your goals.
Jessie Heinness.
Camilla.
Hisagi Kazuma.
Leonie.
They were ranker players that were always mentioned when it came to levels. However, they couldnt refute Nam Taemins words. Because they realized the situation.
Our help may not be necessary.
No, the disappearance of the portal from the Mage Tower
That must have been what he meant.
But they couldnt just watch.
Even if other players didnt know.
They knew well the weight Hoyeol was carrying.
Was it because those people simply didnt know or did they know but were ignoring it?
To paraphrase it
Yes, it went against pride.
Our target is the nearest rupture.
Nam Taemins plan was simple.
Entering the nearest rupture with or without Hoyeol.
Clear the rupture.
Of course, he didnt know how helpful that action would be.
If he could carry Hoyeols burden even if just a little bit.
Huft
He felt like his heavy heart could ease up a bit.
Their destination was the same, so there was no need to divide the number of people.
Gaons private jet.
The players quickly boarded the plane.
Someone opened their mouth.
Huh?
It was breaking news that made the private jet turn around.
T-The ruptures have been cleared!
What?
It had only been about an hour since an emergency update came up and the ruptures were created. He was surprised, but he thought it might be possible if it was Hoyeol.
However.
Wait a minute, isnt this a different rupture than that?
Huh? What, the locations are really different.
The fact that its different means that two ruptures have already been cleared!
Yeah.
There wasnt just one rupture clear.
Two.
No, three.
No, in real time.
Wait, does this make sense?
Breaking news was coming up.
It wasnt a misinformation or a gossip in the newspaper.
It was an official announcement by AAU.
[AAU] 8 out of 11 created ruptures have been cleared
The news forced the world to turn upside down again.
Perhaps the news had reached the studio.
In the video that someone played.
They could hear the voice of the exasperated host.
Whats going on here? No players have entered the cracks yet, have they?
Thats right. At least not officially. But dont you know? I am sure Player Lee Hoyeol has moved. Otherwise, it doesnt make sense!
Its unbelievable. I knew that Player Lee Hoyeol was amazing, but. I didnt know he was this great!
Rupture collapse, missiles, nuclear bombs.
A situation where even extreme topics were mentioned.
In such a situation, it was great news.
It was only natural that the world was shaking.
Of course, the players on Gaons private jet were also making a fuss.
There were sighs of relief everywhere.
I am glad.
The fact that the ruptures were being cleared in real-time.
It meant that Hoyeol was safe.
But they couldnt just be happy.
Like they said.
They knew.
Nonsense.
Clench
Nam Taemin unconsciously clenched his fist.
Emotions that he had barely been suppressing rose up.
Leonie murmured.
In the end, hes alone again this time
*
An odd space that disappeared, rupture.
Marcelo said while manifesting a portal.
There are two ruptures left.
Marcelo and other senior mages closed nine ruptures.
Those who closed the ruptures first joined the other ruptures.
Naturally, the time it took to close the rupture gradually decreased.
But Marcelo knew. The process of the summoning ceremony of the demon king, Decarabia, that took place in Frost.
Sir Hoyeol said that not all demons are the same.
He said that hierarchy existed even within the demon kings army, excluding the demon king. Therefore, Marcelo carefully examined the demons in the process of closing the ruptures.
But no one stood out.
So he had a hunch.
The remaining ruptures will be different from the ones we have now.
In the remaining ruptures, there would be high-ranking demons.
And the criminal of high treason, Karimjeva.
The evidence was visible.
Even at this moment, Sir Hoyeol and Senios-nim.
The fact that Hoyeol and Senios hadnt joined them.
It meant that they were still in the ruptures.
Marcelo looked at the portal that had been manifested.
We must hurry.
As Hoyeol said.
There was nothing good about this secret of Mage tower being known to the outside world.
Marcelo knew how the world of adventurers worked.
Sir Hoyeol said that the moment we close the rupture, the news will be known to anyone.
In other words.
Even though they could hide the purpose of the Mage Tower.
They couldnt hide the fact that the ruptures were closed.
In the end, on behalf of the Mage Tower that couldnt step forward.
Hoyeol would take responsibility again this time.
Thrump
Senior mages entered the portal.
Suddenly, Matis, who stopped walking, said to Marcelo.
Chief Lee Hoyeol must be tired.
Matis was also aware of that fact, so he said that.
Thats right. Were in a situation where we cant go out. Its inevitable that he will take on the responsibility of closing the ruptures alone. Hes going to suffer a lot from public rumors.
The conversation between the two ended there.
In the end, he was indebted to Hoyeol again this time.
To repay this debt, they had to move more quickly.
The meaning was obvious even without saying anything.
In the end, Banglet Tom, who was watching silently, felt frustrated.
Wait, isnt that a good thing? Wouldnt he get the worlds attention?
Shake.
Banglet, who was worried, shook his head immediately.
Hed already known his place.
With his simple mind.
Those two chief.
How could he understand the significance meaning of Matis disappointment?
*
The importance of practice.
I felt those words with my body.
[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
No, apart from my rising level.
Bang!
Flames and ice clashed with a roar.
Karimjeva and Senios.
The magic that came and went in the struggle of the two elder mages was different from the magic Id seen so far. This was not at a level that could be treated as high-level magic.
The pinnacle of fire and ice magic.
The magic pouring out from the two demigods was truly amazing.
It was the limit of fire magic and ice magic.
They manifested secret magic that was not known to anyone.
How about it? Do you still believe in the superiority of compatibility? Karimjeva!
The demigod responded to the demigod.
Shut up, you idiot.
The struggle between those two.
His innate magical talent is such that he can imitate most magic just by looking.
In order to look at a higher state.
I woke up my eyes.
The demons couldnt disturb me who was immersed in the scene.
[Fear occurs to the commander of the demon kings army, Shartan.]
Even if the disruptor was a commander of the demon kings army.
