Chapter 123.2

Her desire and hope were sincere.

To achieve that, she had exploited the Head Principal’s affection.

She had accepted the sacrifices the Head Principal made for the future and embraced them for her utopia.

In other words, Se-Ah’s weakness was her “misguided altruism.”

Even her ultimate skill, Paradox Creation, was merely the highest level of suppression to subdue Woo-jin and Goliath and resolve the current chaotic situation.

Goliath understood Se-Ah’s intentions and took a decisive gamble.

He believed Se-Ah would try to withstand this blow entirely and bring about her own downfall.

“Hahaha…”

Se-Ah’s long black hair cast shadows over her face as she chuckled wearily.

And then.

“Hahahaha!! Hahahahaha!!!”

Se-Ah alternated her gaze between Woo-jin and Goliath, holding her forehead as she bent over with laughter.

“This is amusing…! So amusing…! To think this might be my final challenge…!”

Se-Ah raised her head.

Though she had been laughing moments before, her expression had turned icy.

She directed a resolute gaze at Woo-jin.

“Come at me.”

*Whoooosh!!!*

Se-Ah’s entire body was enveloped in red magic. In moments, she transformed into a massive monstrous form.

She resembled the figure of a demon molded in the image of a woman.

[Let’s end this, everyone.]

Se-Ah’s voice echoed grotesquely.

This was the signal.

“Just what I wanted!!!”

Goliath’s spirited shout.

And then.

*Boom!!!!*

A deafening explosion sounded alongside a sonic boom.

Goliath, roaring with a violent battle cry, hurtled through the air like a jet and closed in on Se-Ah.

Goliath unleashed his punch, charged with the ultimate skill, Event Horizon.

Se-Ah’s wings of magic flared with blinding light.

*Rumble!!!!*

The red magic of the hidden world collided with Goliath’s punch.

The swirling black energy, heavy like a black hole, tried to tear apart Se-Ah’s red magic, but it struggled to overpower the immeasurable strength within her punch, resulting in a fierce contest of power.

Massive shockwaves continuously rippled out, sweeping through the center area.

The students deployed defensive stances to protect themselves, but as the ground crumbled and powerful winds battered them, they were eventually forced outside the center area.

“Gahahahaha!!!”

Amid the fierce struggle, Goliath’s hearty laughter rang out. Meanwhile, the red ring was gradually fading away.

And the moment the red magic began to get distorted and absorbed by Goliath’s Event Horizon…

Goliath bellowed with all his might.

“Now’s the time, Ahn Woo-jin!!!”

A tremendous roar echoed.

A torrent of cracks fired in unison, launching the combined strength and weapons of the students straight at Se-Ah.

At the same time, Woo-jin surged toward Se-Ah, surrounded by intense lightning and goblin flames.

Se-Ah had saved her power specifically to face Woo-jin. She reached out her arm, filled with red magic, and spread her hand wide.

The numerous eyes on that arm glared at Woo-jin, emitting a crimson glow.

However.

*Crash!!!*

[……!]

Suddenly, multiple Spatial Thunderstrikes filled the air, illuminating the surroundings. They converged from all directions and engulfed Se-Ah’s arm.

Preoccupied with managing Goliath’s Event Horizon, Se-Ah couldn’t respond to the barrage of Spatial Thunderstrikes. Her colossal arm of red magic was incinerated and blown away.

Woo-jin, carrying the combined power of the students, dove toward Se-Ah.

“Let’s end this.”

With a cold declaration, he swung the Hyunwoondo Sword and goblin bat horizontally.

*Crackkkkk!!!!*

The powers of the Cloud Master and the goblin, along with the students’ magic, exploded violently, consuming Se-Ah.

A blinding light engulfed the world.

The magic of the Hyunwoondo Sword and the goblin bat overwhelmed and extinguished Se-Ah’s magic.

The power of the Event Horizon also self-destructed along with Paradox Creation.

Woo-jin’s weapons and Goliath’s fist plunged into Se-Ah’s massive form.

Following a downward trajectory, they sent Se-Ah hurtling away.

*Boom!!!!*

A powerful magic explosion swept through the center area.

The ominous magic that had expanded Se-Ah’s form scattered to the winds, and her body plummeted across the sky into a cliff on the ground.

Her entire body was in ruins.

Only the armor she had constructed with the hidden world’s magic had spared her from instant death.

She no longer had any magic left to recalibrate reality.

Falling to the ground with her battered body, Se-Ah assessed the aftermath of the explosion as death loomed before her.

It seemed the damage was contained within the center area.

Se-Ah thought it was at least some relief.

‘I lost, Senior… How foolish of me. I guess there’s no helping it now.’

A self-mocking smile spread across Se-Ah’s lips.

‘I’ll take my leave as the villain.’

Se-Ah vanished beyond the cliff, and the magic of the hidden world dissipated into ash-gray dust, scattering like smoke.

The cracks that had filled the ground beneath Woo-jin disappeared, and the falling earth and debris filled the void left behind.

At last, Woo-jin and Goliath dismissed their magic techniques, and the ruined center area regained its ordinary night sky.
