CH 235.2

Chapter 235.2. Difficulty Level: Very Hard

“We can’t change major turning points but can alter minor ones slightly. And because someone changed those minor turning points, the effects eventually started affecting the major ones.”

The major turning point would likely be the original Night of Magic story.

However, as a result of altering events without any descriptions into a different story, it seems the original story was also can be influenced.

So, some people do bad things.

“Oh… the world is beginning to collapse… I could feel my desired future drawing closer as if touching my skin.”

Embracing her body with both arms, the Witch says in a trembling and ecstatic voice.

The world’s collapse is quite a significant event. I have no idea whose fault it is.

The Witch exhales a sigh and turns her gaze back to Miu.

“Well then, let’s end today’s conversation here, shall we?”

“Wouldn’t you like to talk more? There are plenty of snacks.”

“I’m on a diet, so I’ll pass… And I’ll answer your other question as well.”

“I don’t remember asking another question?”

“Hehe, is it because you’re concerned about Aegir? Do you feel a sense of discord seeing him run away so awkwardly?”

The Witch lightly pats the shoulder of Aegir, who stands beside her without any will.

“…”

For some reason, Aegir was different. He was the only one who acted normally.

He recognized Miu, just like an ordinary person, even though he was on the stage. He seemed unaffected by the play.

“It’s simple. Aegir is immortal undead. As evidence that my power has returned, he’s heavily influenced. This one has slipped out of the stage.”

“So, what do you intend to do?”

As I ask the somewhat unsettling Witch, she forms a sly crescent moon smile and releases a surge of mana aura from her body like a gust of wind.

“Hmm?”

I shield my arms and gaze at her while the strong gust hits like an event.

“This is event-like… yet still in the shadows… For now, let’s say hello.”

A small, purple magic circle shines at the Witch’s feet and rapidly expands throughout the surroundings.

The dim cave is illuminated by purple light. I can feel the immense power of magic on my skin.

“Now, even in the shadows, reveal your power. My legion.”

[Legion Of The Undead King]

Aegir’s body trembles, darkness enveloping him, transforming him into a cocoon-like form.

Massive darkness begins to take shape, gradually emerging from the ground around Miu

The hands that crawl out are about as large as Miu’s height, followed by arm-like pillars and a gigantic torso.

“And these guys?”

Surrounding the area are 5 giants. They stand about 20 meters tall, with dreadlocked hair atop their heads. Their heavily built bodies resemble mountains made of steel.

And then, the bodies of the giants are shrouded in jet black. As the term ‘shadow’ suggests, they must be the shadows of giants.

However, to call them shadows don’t quite capture the terrifying presence and the crackling magical power they contain.

When the cawing of crows resounds, the enemies’ true form is revealed.

-Frost Giant’s Shadow: Level 72, Weakness: Lightning-

“Is this… the real shadow of a Frost Giant?”

“Oh, my? Are you borrowing Munin? How did you manage to borrow from that ill-tempered person?”

The Witch speaks with an amused tone as if she has recognized Munin hiding within the interstice of space.

Does she know about Munin’s existence?

“Well then, please enjoy your battle with the awakened Aegir. I hope you’ll do your best not to die here.”

Saying so, the Witch reaches up to the sky and plucks as if tearing something.

With a snap, purple lightning is emitted, creating distortions in the space. The Witch enters within.

-[Frigg’s Divine Hand] has been destroyed!-

“What?! It was supposed to be indestructible!”

In the game, this has never happened before.

Could it have been destroyed?

“Even with my diminished power, I can still manage something like this. Well then, farewell. Let’s meet again. Oh, the prize for defeating Aegir is in Crowley’s box. You’re collecting those, aren’t you?”

The Spatial Witch disappears into the wavering space, with a faint smile.

Damn it, I didn’t think she could escape.

I should have analyzed the Spatial Witch.

This is the height of regret. I was too careless.

“O, Ooh… ThaT CLoaK… sMeLL… MY enEMy…”

Rising from the depths of the earth, Frost Giants, now appearing as shadows, utter voices of resentment, glaring at Miu.

These giants hold a grudge against Miu.

“There’s no helping it. I want to defeat Aegir before his transformation is complete, so I need you all to leave immediately.”

Swinging her mace and wearing a fearless smile, Miu confronts the Frost Giants.

“Voooh, KiLL!”

Breaking the obsidian floor, Frost Giant swings its club and attacks while shards scatter.

The pressure is so intense, it feels like it could kill even with just the intent.

“But it’s futile.”

[Soul Awakening]

[Thunder Dragon I]

[Spin Hammer]

-Linked!-

[Mjolnir]

The mace harbors a snap of thunder. It discharges into the surroundings, forming a massive hammer composed of lightning.

“Take this!”

And so, Miu swings the hammer of lightning she conjures to mow down the approaching Frost Giant.
