Chapter 80. A Seniors Dignity (4)

Marcelo summoned his powers.

Me and Senior Vanguard will assist you.

A conversation about the Quernberg Machine Tower.

Thanks to that, Marcelo knew I was a demon hunter.

Because demons jumped out at me.

I guess that means they recognize my specialty here.

Which was good for me.

Id like to see Marcelo or Vanguard going full force.

Wouldnt the bean curd evaporate like that dust earlier?

Kwazizik-!

A demonic grip ripped through space.

Its identity was still unknown, except for its size.

However, I could guess its strength.

Of course its stronger than a demon.

It was a trap.

A trap for Vanguard, the senior mage of Magic Tower.

Vanguard seemed to have realized it.

His magic was clearly agitated.

Why would the Elder Mage want to?

Vanguard must be thinking.

If only he were alone.

What would have happened to him?

I, the expert, could answer that for him.

You would have died, or been possessed and your body stolen.

The elder mages words clouded Vanguards judgment.

No doubt.

It was insane.

How could he deal with a demon like that when he was out of sorts?

Its not easy, even for Vanguard.

But as you can see, Vanguard was not alone.

I will not allow you any further access. Inferior demon.

I could drown in water and my snout would still float.

Vanguard, now is not the time for such thoughts.

And then there was Marcelo, the chief mage.

I raised my powers as well.

And then I said cheekily.

Vanguard Tom.

Im listening.

Lets replace the reason submission with this battle.

Oh, and if its the submission of reasons?

The regular conference has been suspended pending your presentation. I want to know if your research on pure magic is worthy of resuming the conference. Prove it before me, the host of this regular conference.

!

Yes, if its inevitable pride.

I should at least use it to my advantage!

My aim was simple.

Interfere with Vanguards magic, just like before.

Now that [Natural Enemy] has been activated.

My magic power wasnt exactly insufficient.

But everything is relative.

I was surrounded by people with monstrous amounts of mana.

Moreover, I watched them exchange magic.

They werent even at full power.

There was no killing intent in their magic.

So I dont care how much experience he has.

That meant nothing could fall on me if I stayed focused!

In other words, it was bound to be crappy.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Of course, theres no way such a thing could be seen on the outside.

You, who is organizing the first conference, are better than me.

Even in this situation, he talked about the conference.

There was no blood or tears.

What an insane man.

But I was prepared to be even more insane than that.

But.

Thank you. Ill prove it to you.

I was surprised by Vanguards response.

I dont know what it was.

For me, it was good news.

Vanguard was suddenly manifesting magic.

Goooooooooo!

Yes, this time with murderous intent.

Quadruple quadruple!

A line of magic based solely on destructive power.

The mage of pure magic can be counted on one finger.

The moment when vast amounts of magic power are combined with interference that maximizes destructive power.

A beam of magical power with a tremendous pressure stretched out towards his grasp.

It was then.

Kwajik!

The grasp tore off a large piece.

I held it up like a shield.

I could feel it in my gut.

Powerless.

Technically, thats a fragment of a rift.

A fragment of an anomaly.

It was a shield that merged two completely different concepts.

In a way, it was the purest form of [magic],

the purest form of magic, shouldnt be able to penetrate that shield.

Indeed, my prediction was correct.

Crackle

The rift shards collided with the magic beam.

The magic beam scattered, sending magic everywhere.

But so what?

Wheres your initial momentum, lowly demon?

I had aimed for this situation in the first place.

Do you really think theres any point in hiding behind a shield?

Right after Vanguards magical manifestation, to be precise.

Vast amounts of magic!

I didnt hesitate.

How foolish.

I immediately searched for the vast amount of magic power.

Interfering with the familiar process.

Manifestation.

And then I saw hundreds. No, thousands of lights.

Vanguard stuttered.

in that split second?

I dont know if he was surprised that Id eaten basic magic like a meal.

I dont know the reason for his astonishment.

Its not Vanguards reaction that matters.

Dudongsil.

Basic magic of pure magic.

A sphere of pure magic, light.

It can be manifested into any kind of magic.

Of course, the amount of energy consumed by the interference process is beyond imagination.

This is why Pure Magic focuses on relatively simple interference that maximizes only destructive power.

But.

I am not.

It is also my right to decide how to hunt.

A cold voice said.

At the same time, I saw something beyond the chasm.

It was a mass of forces floating in the air.

!

Where did they come from?

It was an immeasurably huge force.

There seemed to be thousands, perhaps tens of thousands.

Soon, they began to rush toward him.

Soooooo

His senses were failing him in terror.

Searing heat.

A cold chill.

Tingling electricity.

I began to feel all kinds of energy.

My malfunctioning senses were constantly warning me.

It must be avoided.

But the rush was too swift to dodge.

Like the magic of mages.

Aaaahhhhhhhh!

Legion, magic, whatever, clashing with the unknown.

The result was now.

He found himself running, missing an arm.

Damn it! Why?

What the hell is wrong with a human subject?

Human subject!!!

How.

Such a mind.

Such a fellow.

Such an attitude?

Envy began to stir.

No, it wasnt just that.

As I thought about it, I remembered something.

?

The tides of the Arcana continent had recently begun to turn.

The culprit was the Demon Hunters ultimate weapon.

At first, I thought it was simply the work of the dwarfs.

The Akshan base was destroyed.

The Demon Hunters wiped out.

The only ones who can activate it.

would be the dwarfs who built it.

I thought it was a good thing.

They activated it?

The dwarfs had come out of their lairs and onto the continent.

If we follow the trail, well find their lair.

But not as expected.

There was no sign of the dwarfs.

It was then that he and the demon hunter

He had encountered a demon hunter.

The implication was simple.

That was him, too?!

Envy flared.

How dare he mess with a human!

He had traveled in and out of dimensions.

So freely that he could trigger any weapon.

Even himself.

No evil, no matter how great.

It was impossible to interfere in another dimension like that.

!

The realization sent a chill down his spine.

A sensation I had momentarily forgotten in my envy.

Fear reawakened.

Does this mean hes on a higher level than me?

I cant admit it.

If I did admit it.

It all made sense.

The way he seemed to be staring down at me.

The battle with a creature that your senses could barely keep up with.

The way he traveled across dimensions.

And finally.

A warning to his fleeing self.

I remembered, demon who lost his right arm. I remembered that.

Hes a demon hunter.

The right arm he took from you can never be regenerated.

If they ever meet again.

He will surely recognize you as a one-armed man.

And then?

Am I, this body, condemned to hell?

Will I, like greed, cease to exist?

Thinking about it, my fear didnt go away.

I realized the subject matter.

I am enough with this wound.

Yes, lets be satisfied with the continent of Arcana.

Lets not even think about traveling to other dimensions again.

At least not while that demon hunter has his eyes wide open!!!

[Broken Dimensional Rift]

[Suitable Level : Lv.900]

[Rift Collapse : 51.2%]

A rapidly rising Rift Collapse.

In the meantime, the appropriate level has changed.

[Suitable Level : Lv.900~Lv.1000]

The appropriate level was now 1,000.

Players exclaimed.

I cant even drip this, brothers!

Whats going on, what the hell is going on inside!

Ho-Yeol, are you sure youre okay?

Ho-yeol and Marcelo, the chief mage of Magic Tower.

Several hours had passed since they entered the rift.

Still, it wasnt enough for the rifts collapse level to skyrocket.

It had risen to the proper level.

They were right to be concerned.

But as usual.

My worries were short-lived.

A shape emerged from the crack.

A sound in my ears.

Another angle.

Ho-Yeol had emerged.

Not only was he alive, but he was also not covered in dust.

It was no wonder that all eyes were on him.

!!!

But as always.

Ho Yeol coldly declared.

I wont take any questions.

His reasoning could not have been more straightforward.

Its an internal matter.
