Chapter 100: Battle of Demigods (1)

Chapter 100: Battle of Demigods (1)

Demigod.

I felt like I knew why the elder mages were called demigods.

What kind of person had this much magic power?

No, aside from the pure amount of magic power, the momentum rising from his body was unusual.

The Fire Dragon and the Eternal Snow.

Karimjeva and Senios.

The pinnacle of fire and ice magic.

Those two hadnt even revealed their true magic yet.

How insanely intimidating.

I could feel the sense of intimidation coming from the magic power that was unconsciously radiating.

Of the two of them, Karimjeva was the problem.

Perhaps because I criticized him as being ignorant from the beginning.

He radiated blatant heat toward me.

How dare you.

My level was only 333.

In fact, the heat would be too hot for me, who was weak.

In that sense, I was grateful once again.

Well done, past me.

In order to be fully prepared.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

I had dug a lot of wells.

And on behalf of this pitiful me.

I also felt thankful toward Kiko Armin, the senior mage of enchantment, for her hard work.

[Masterpiece Koi Scale Handkerchief]

[Grade: Unique]

[Restriction: Lv.200]

[Effect: When equipped, increase flame property affinity / Increase all attack evasion rate / Open aesthetic stat]

[Description: Made with extremely rare materials and a special manufacturing method. Its value is so great that no one can dare to evaluate it. The title masterpiece wont be a waste on it.]

Yeah, even in this heat.

The reason I was able to stay upright was simple.

It was simply because of the item.

It was all thanks to the [increase flame property affinity] effect attached to the handkerchief.

Affinity is a higher concept in Arcana.

Resistance to that property as well.

Even the effect when the corresponding attribute skill was activated.

The additional effects that came with increasing affinity were significant.

The handkerchief wasnt graded as [Unique] for no reason.

Not only that, it wasnt called [Masterpiece] for no reason.

However.

If I was satisfied with that, I cant say I am fully prepared.

I told you.

I didnt know anything else, but I was good at knowing my place.

No matter how good the effect was.

In the end, the 200-level restricted item.

I never thought that just a handkerchief would be able to block Karimjevas fire magic.

For a 200-level restricted item to prevent a demigods magic.

It happened because I have a conscience.

I recalled it.

As I said before, enchantment.

It was an enchantment that could extract effects from items and give the effects to other items.

The preparation period that I got until Karimjeva went into action.

I didnt waste it.

I really persistently bullied Kiko Armin.

Effects that could be extracted from items.

Determine the effects that couldnt be achieved.

Give the extracted effect to the item.

I didnt even pay.

In short.

I properly wielded the authority of the chief.

The consequences of that abuse of power were expressed in the messages.

[Effect: When equipped, flame property affinity increases]

[Effect: When equipped, flame property affinity increases]

[Effect: When equipped, flame property affinity increases]

[Effect: When equipped, flame property affinity increases]

From clothes to shoes to rings.

The effect of the increased flame attribute affinity stacked on top of each other.

Yeah, thanks to that lame struggle.

My weak self.

I could stay fine in this heat!

To be honest, I felt greedy.

I wanted to extract and apply effects related to [aesthetic] stat.

Because the status of my aesthetic stat was still [low].

But even if I wished for that, how could such a thing be possible?

If that was possible, everyone would have majored in enchantment.

So, I had no choice but to be satisfied with this.

It was also something to be thankful for.

This is my first time seeing such a success rate. Ugh, how did I do that?! I need to maintain this feeling!! Im not going to wash my hands from now on.

The success was so great that even Kiko couldnt believe it.

Anyway, its all thanks to Chief Lee Hoyeol!

Thanks to me, she said.

All I did was.

Just in case my precious item got blown away.

All I had done was write down the postscript on the order sheet.

Of course, I took Kikos appreciation for granted as well.

Anyway, I cant help but feel thankful once again.

The war of nerves between the demigods.

Heat and coldness went back and forth in that war.

If it werent for the [warmth] buff and [flame attribute affinity] obtained through enchantment Wouldnt I be a shrimp in the fights between whales by now? A frozen shrimp placed on a hot grill.

I would have been destroyed.

Of course, it was too early to feel relieved.

Crackle

Flames rose from Karimjevas hands.

It was a rapid manifestation with no exploration or interference process.

Because of that, its power couldnt be perfect.

It was crazy, seriously.

The Earths surface was melting like ice cream?

How high was the temperature of that flame?

No, as if melting wasnt enough, it started to boil like lava.

Senios said in an admiring voice.

Indeed, youre strong enough to not mind the battlefield!

I recalled Senios words.

The stronger the opponent, the more important it is to choose an advantageous battlefield.

Even in the battle between the strong, the environment of the battlefield was important.

In that sense, this rupture was a favorable battlefield for Senios.

It was a snowy field, although only half of it was.

The temperature was high enough to make snow fall.

Hes changing that battlefield to his advantage.

No.

It is you, Karimzeba, whos deluded.

Senios, that guy was a lot worse than I thought.

Gooo

Karimjevas magic rose again.

This time the flames began to sweep through his body.

No matter how much I plastered myself with flame attribute affinity.

With that level of firepower, even just grazing it would be dangerous.

Then there is no mercy. You and the adventurer. Ill give you all a ride.

It was a full-fledged declaration of war.

Senios had been waiting for this moment more than anyone else.

He didnt hesitate.

Crack!

A layer of air froze.

Soon, a huge ice enveloped Senios body.

Not only that, the area was quickly cooling down.

As if to draw a line.

How dare you look at someone else when Senios of Eternal Snow is in front of you? I cant accept that. As expected, you seem to believe in the superiority of compatibility.

As Senios said, compatibility existed in magic as well.

Flame magic and ice magic were polar opposites.

Naturally, Karimjeva was well aware of that.

Your little tricks are useless in the face of my flames.

Of course, I, who had devoured various magical books, also knew that.

So I didnt stay still.

Even as it used up my precious magic.

I didnt turn up the ground for no reason.

Even if I only intervene vaguely, its still an intrusion.

Lets not forget, I knew my place.

As I said, I was just a shrimp in a whale fight.

But I had expected this.

This was also a development that was included in all my preparations.

The tectonic shifted.

Drizzle!!

As a result, the groundwater drizzling in the ground rose up.

As I said, compatibility existed in magic.

Like rock-paper-scissors.

It was a profound compatibility that bit at each other.

Ice < Flame < Water < Ice < Flame < Water

Indeed.

Changing the battlefield to our advantage as much as possible.

It was the best I could do at this moment.

Drizzle!

Drizzle!

A stream of groundwater sprouted from everywhere.

It was a poison for Karimjevas flame magic.

For Senios, it would be like an elixir for his ice magic.

!!

Noticing such a change in the battlefield.

The reactions of those two were clearly different.

You brat!!

Nice support, Chief Lee Hoyeol!

I looked at those two people and thought.

Marcelo, Matis.

No, even Banglet is fine.

Someone please hurry.

This battlefield was too much for me without [Natural Enemy Relationship].

*

Marcelo clenched his teeth.

Banglet did the same.

Chief Marcelo. Thats!

For sure. Theyre demons.

Cracked Dimension Gap.

Demons poured out from there.

The demons level didnt seem very strong, unlike in Banglets incident.

But their number was significant.

They couldnt even see the end of the demons march.

Marcelo had a hunch.

Are these many demons moving solely for the sake of the demon kings resurrection?

No matter what happened.

They had to prevent the resurrection of the demon king.

So he couldnt help but worry.

As if Karimjeva wasnt enough, now the demons

It wouldnt be easy.

Of course, it was impossible to know which one of them was dealing with Karimjeva.

Ruptures were the space of oddity.

Telepathy from inside to outside was impossible.

But one thing was certain.

Senior Belliere.

Yes?

Well speed up.

Marcelo, no, more than that!

Belliere trailed off.

She needed to stop him

But Marcelos eyes were full of determination.

Swallowing her words, Belliere held her staff firmly instead.

I see. Ill sweep everything away as you wish.

In any case, their target was Karimjeva, the criminal of high treason.

They couldnt be held back by the demons.

They had to quickly close the rupture and support other ruptures.

.

.

.

Shapes pouring in from afar.

Before my eyes could see what it really was.

A message appeared.

[Skill Natural Enemy Relationship is activated.]

Wait a minute.

I took back the word that this was too much.

I immediately declared to Karimjeva.

It suits you, Karimjeva.

The only person who was desperately waiting for reinforcements.

It suits me?

So much that you couldnt imagine.

Rationalizing yourself by talking about the true truth. In the end, you become dependent on the demons. In other words, your ugliness is befitting of an ugly demon worshiper.

Shamelessly so.
