Chap 92-Purpose

 

I felt sorry for my senior.

It felt like I had burdened her with a heavy load.

‘Sorry… Senior. Please, be safe.’

I just need to hold out until they take me and retreat.

And…

When my senior activates the [Oath of Death].

Everything will be over.

“……”

That’s what should have happened…

When I came to my senses, I was somehow free from Narcission’s grasp.

Instead, a small, soft hand was holding mine tightly.

‘Who…?’

I turned my head to see who was holding my hand.

A young girl with snow-white hair and deep, sapphire-blue eyes.

A face I had never seen before.

But it felt strangely familiar.

“It’s been a while, Yeon.”

She said in a clear, youthful voice.

‘It’s been a while? Who is she?’

I searched my memory, but I couldn’t recall anything.

“Hmm…”

At my reaction, she gave a subtle smile.

And then, she did something completely unexpected.

Lick-

She lowered her head and licked the back of my hand with her tongue.

A moist and soft sensation.

‘Wh-What the heck are you doing…!’

I was horrified and reflexively pulled my hand back.

“Still don’t recognize me?”

I stared at the child with a still confused look.

Who is this child? How does she know me?

As she saw me continuing to struggle, the confident smile on her face slowly disappeared.

And then, as if she had never smiled, she drooped her shoulders with a sullen expression.

The moment I saw that, a familiar scene flashed through my mind.

‘Could it be…’

Whenever she played a naughty prank and got scolded by me, she would droop her ears and become sullen as if she had done something wrong.

A ball of snow-white fur.

My cat.

I was relieved, thinking she had run away after Narcission appeared.

I asked in a trembling voice, as if I couldn’t believe it.

“Na… bi…?”

At my answer, her face lit up with a bright smile again, as if she had never been sullen.

Nabi… a person?

No… is she really a person?

An unfamiliar energy was flowing from her.

The suffocatingly disgusting energy of this space was being pushed back around her.

As if the wind was sweeping away dust.

The power of the Evil God that filled the space began to be pushed back helplessly.

Narcission, who was watching the scene, laughed in vain.

“So that’s how it was. I was just… bait.”

The arrogant look from before was nowhere to be found.

His appearance, as if he had given up on everything, was awkward.

“Bait? What do you mean?”

Nabi asked Narcission with a stern expression.

“You should be able to feel it.”

‘Bait? What does that mean?’

While I was wondering, Nabi smiled reassuringly and took my hand again.

And our bodies… began to float into the air.

We floated higher and higher.

Narcission’s figure had completely disappeared from view.

The Domain of the Evil God, seen from the distant sky, was truly a hellish landscape.

A blood-red river cut through the twisted land, and countless magical beasts were wriggling around it like insects.

But strangely, I didn’t feel any fear.

Because Nabi, who was holding my hand tightly, was enveloping me like a warm light.

Can I really trust this child?

Such a question flashed through my mind, but soon the time I had spent with Nabi came to mind.

The little ball of fur that used to fall asleep in my arms.

Sometimes she would play pranks and get scolded by me, and she would gobble up delicious food without thinking.

That memory made me chuckle without realizing it.

The tension eased, and my wariness melted away.

Nabi, seeing my expression, looked slightly displeased for some reason.

“Um…”

I hesitated, trying to say something.

Nabi… no, I don’t know what to call this child.

Even dull-witted me could feel the overwhelming energy pouring out from her small, delicate body

An overwhelming presence, just like when I faced Master.

She was definitely a transcendent.

At my hesitant attitude, she spoke softly, as if she had read my mind.

“Anaide. You can call me that.”

“Anaide…? Could it be?”

The name flashed through my mind.

“By any chance… are you related to our Master…”

“Dorothy? She’s my sister.”

She answered very naturally.

Anaide, the Witch of Destruction.

The foundation of all offensive magic used by humanity today.

The great Witch who established the ‘Anaide Magic System’, which every mage who goes to the battlefield learns first.

The one who is stronger and more reliable than anyone else, whom I had heard about countless times from Master.

Such a person…

Such an existence…

Is that the cat who licked my cheek and fell asleep in my arms?

‘…Really?’

Anaide smiled brightly and approached me, who was dazed in confusion.

She wiggled and grabbed my hand again, then looked up at me with clear, blue eyes.

That appearance… I honestly thought it was a little cute.

Just then, words I couldn’t have imagined popped out of her mouth.

“So, what shall we do? Master?”

“M-Master…?”

I stammered in embarrassment.

I felt my face turning red as if it would explode.

Anaide, as if amused by my reaction, licked the back of my hand once more—

Lick.

“Wh-What are you doing!”

I screamed in horror.

When she was a cat, it didn’t matter.

Now… she’s a young girl licking my hand and calling me Master.

For some reason, I felt like I had become a huge criminal.

While I was fidgeting, Anaide’s expression gradually became serious.

“It’s okay.”

She said, looking straight into my eyes.

“Tell me what you want. I’ll grant it.”

‘What I… want…?’

What I want.

Since I possessed this damn world, there was only one thing I wanted.

No, maybe it was like that even before I possessed it, when I was watching this world from beyond the monitor.

I looked down at the distant bottom.

My senses, which are sensitive to Contamination, felt a huge amount of terrible energy wriggling from below.

The home of all the magical beasts that have plagued Terra for a long time.

The Domain of the Evil God.

In a trembling voice, I spoke my lifelong wish.

“Please… get rid of this place.”

At those words, Anaide smiled brightly.

“As you wish.”

She let go of my hand and lightly waved her small hand in the air.

That was the beginning.

[Mythic Unique Magic – Wind of Destruction]

The wind that ends everything in the world began to blow.

It was not just a simple gust of wind.

The breath of emptiness that erases existence itself.

The space where the wind passed was torn apart, time stopped, and concepts collapsed.

The blood-red river evaporated dry, and the twisted land turned to dust and scattered into the air.

The presence of the countless magical beasts wriggling on it began to crumble as if they had never existed in the first place.

Even the energy of the mighty Narcission was helplessly scattered like grains of sand before Anaide’s divine power.

It was complete annihilation.

I blankly stared at the crumbling Domain of the Evil God.

So… easily?

I knew that the Witch of Destruction was an incredibly great being beyond imagination, but…

Something was wrong.

The Evil God is an 11-level conceptual god.

Clearly a higher being than her.

Could such a being be defeated so easily?

Then, Anaide, who was next to me, smiled bitterly.

As if she had read my mind, she said.

“That’s right. The Evil God isn’t here.”

‘…I knew it.’

The smile disappeared from her face.

“If he were here, he wouldn’t have been defeated so easily.”

Now I think I know what their intentions were.

From the beginning, they weren’t trying to kidnap me to get the power sealed within me.

“They were trying to… separate us…”

“Yes. Their goal wasn’t you from the start.”

…

The academy headmaster’s office.

In the quiet silence.

An angel with one wing torn off miserably was frowning deeply, as if something was terribly displeasing.

Her gaze was directed at the crystal orb floating in the air.

The tragedy that struck the ‘Farm’ in the crystal orb was reflected as it was.

“Ha.”

A burst of laughter came out as if she was dumbfounded.

“Those bastards.”

Elaha’s eyes flickered with cold anger.

They should just take their things back nicely.

How dare they covet mine?

I shouldn’t have trusted that Evil God bastard.

The new System administrator.

I must never lose that child.

Elaha hurriedly got up from her chair and reached for the crystal orb on the shelf.

However, her fingertips stopped in the air just before touching the crystal orb.

Because very interesting things began to appear in the crystal orb.

Richard Bennett, the founder of the Bennett Family, who revealed himself among the magical beasts with an overwhelming aura, and Duke Isaac Bennett following him.

And Cassandra, the Duchess of the Medici Family, waiting for someone in the middle of the ‘Farm’ with a pitch-black aura of Contamination.

Elaha leaned back deeply in her chair again.

A joyful smile, like a child who had found a toy, appeared on her lips.

“For now… I’ll have to watch.”

The game was getting much more interesting than I thought.

I was going to upload it yesterday, but… it was later than I thought.

I’m sorry.
