episode_0013

As soon as I warped, I subdued Semilly (nickname revenger) and looked around. As expected, she was alone in a sealed space, just as I had anticipated. “This is only natural.”

Receiving top-secret information about mass slaughter magic, it would be unthinkable to have anyone else nearby. Whether of high or low rank, there would have been a need for time to process the information alone, regardless of how it would be handled.

Revenger is a community user. Within the community, the only person who has directly witnessed the warp function is Choi Ye-bin, using the nickname killer. Therefore, Revenger wouldn’t have known that someone would warp here.

No, perhaps even if there was a possibility, she wouldn’t have been greatly concerned. What difference would it make if a person speculated to be a beggar or a rogue were to warp? She is strong. That’s why she was arrogant, and that’s why it’s time for her to face adversity.

Cardddduk

I restrained her entire body with magic, pressing her face into the ground. Despite her face being pressed against the ground, Semilly no longer screamed. She was assessing the situation.

“Don’t bother with futile tricks.”

When I exerted immense psychic force, blood burst from Semilly’s mouth. She, who had maintained silence all along, began to emit shallow moans.

“McDerrath… You were in cahoots with the administrator… Who on earth is that guy?”

Semilly still seems to not think that I am the administrator. I informed her of reality.

“It seems you are mistaken. I am the administrator you so arrogantly disregarded. I’ve read all the secret comments you left, and I’ve confirmed your attempts to incite war.”

“That can’t be true…? You’re the administrator? Then, all those vile words and fantasies you wrote on the bulletin board… you… you…!”

I forcibly blocked Semilly’s mouth. I sat on her back and contemplated.

“Should I kill her?”

Despite Semilly’s resistance, it was futile.

Succubi as a species are generally strong in one-on-one combat, and particularly potent in interpersonal battles, but their attacks mostly taint the mind. However, even before coming here, I had already layered my mind with numerous barriers of mana. It was nothing short of sealing off the succubus’s most powerful weapon.

Semir tried to attack, but she was consistently bounced away by my mental immunity.

Killing her would be easy. Creating a spear of concentrated mana and thrusting it through Semir’s neck would end her life. But, would that be the right move in the long run?

“No, absolutely not.”

The Succubus Union is currently secretly pushing for war. If Semir were to die in this situation, they would undoubtedly suspect it as an act of the Human Union and immediately engage in war. It was clear that they would attempt their ambush before it was too late.

“If only I could use this guy.”

Having influence over a group and getting a chance to face someone one-on-one is never an easy task. I reached this place using the warp function, and as such, there were no penalties for moving within the same novel. Here, I could fully utilize 100% of my power.

So, there was no need to ponder for long.

For now, I mercilessly beat Semir.

“St… stop…”

After beating her for about twenty minutes, screams burst from Semir’s lips. Seeing her begging for her life, some of the resentment I held towards the person who was preparing to ambush her from behind began to dissipate.

Then, I sprinkled a potion on Semir. If by any chance she died, it would be a disaster.

“If… if you’re going to heal me, why the assault in the first place?”

I scratched Semir’s cheek several times and forced her to close her mouth.

“Don’t you understand the situation? The Succubus Union is strong because over twenty different species have united. You, on your own, have no influence at all. You’re just a pathetic little creature who doesn’t know how to do anything other than being swarmed by a group. I’ll make sure you pay for wielding gloves proportional to your abilities. Before that.”

Raising the fallen Semily, he looked into her eyes and cast a spell.

Memory Erasure.

A fraudulent magic capable of removing memories within approximately 24 hours. However, this is a “consent magic,” requiring the consent of the other party to activate mutual communication magic. But there was no problem.

“Consent to memory erasure. I will erase your memories for about 30 minutes before and after.”

“T-That’s absolutely not possible. If that happens, you’ll forget that you’re an administrator. Once you know that you’re an administrator, it becomes obvious that the information about the mass slaughter magic is false. Seeing how urgently you attacked, you must be quite desperate too. Ultimately, if I just relay information to the alliance, our surprise war will succeed. Why should I do that?”

Semily smirked. He levitated her with telekinesis and began to torture her.

“Oh really? It seems like it wouldn’t matter if you died.”

“If I die, the war will break out anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

“You have a great sense of duty. But isn’t torture more painful than dying? Let me know when you want to consent to memory erasure.”

In this world, the cruelest torture can be carried out by magicians. Mental torture is several times, no, tens of times more powerful than physical torture.

As I clapped my hands strongly, the surrounding space turned into a wasteland.

“Huh…?”

Semily was staring blankly at something. A grotesque, monstrous being stood before her, composed of thousands, tens of thousands of teeth, more grotesque and terrifying than any other creature.

“It’s an illusion… It’s false…”

As a succubus primarily engaged in mental attacks, her judgment was accurate, but that didn’t mean she could avoid mental torture.

Crunch… Crunch…

The monster swallowed Semily and began to chew her with its thousands of teeth. Semily couldn’t even scream, her whole body drenched in sweat.

However.

“Gasp… Cough… Cough….”

Semily’s body regenerated. This was an illusion. She would endlessly endure the agony of death from now on.

“P… Please… I’ll agree… I’ll agree, so please… spare me… please spare me… No… please kill me, please… please kill me…”

Seemily, facing her 395th death, began to sob and scream on the ground. Ignoring her pleas, I manipulated the monster once again.

*Gasp* *Gasp* *Ugh* *Ugh*

Facing her 503rd death, Seemily had reached a point where she could no longer speak properly.

“How about now? Have you changed your mind?”

Finally releasing her from the illusion, only about 10 minutes had passed in reality, and while her body was unharmed, her mind was not. Seemily drooled and slammed her head onto the ground.

“I… I… I’ll do… any… anything…”

“Agree to the memory erasure spell. Simultaneously, agree to the imprinting spell.”

I cast two “agreement spells” on Seemily, who was now completely mentally submissive.

One for memory erasure.

She agreed to the removal of her memories for the past 30 minutes as if it were her own decision.

Following that, the second agreement spell was for ‘imprinting.’

I imprinted one emotion onto her.

“The emotion I will imprint on you is fear. From now on, you will feel intense fear towards war. And I imprint an indifferent attitude towards the situation before and after waking up. Do you agree?”

After hundreds of deaths, she was already completely submissive, with no right to refuse. Seemily vigorously nodded her head.

Thud!

Slamming Seemily’s head against the wall, she immediately lost consciousness. It wasn’t exactly a magic, so there was no skill name, but if I had to coin one… it might be something like Sleep Magic (Physical), perhaps?

Anyway, leaving Seemily put to sleep through the magic (physical), I used the warp magic I had prepared in advance.

— — —

Kwaaang!

“Eek! You scared me!”

Thanks to the warp gate installed in the room given to killer within the tower, I could return to my original location with just a small amount of magic. I didn’t use the administrator’s warp function. The administrator’s warp function required at least 24 hours to be used again.

When I went to find the killer, there were no limitations on personal magic this time, as it was a move within the same novel. Thanks to that, I was able to warp freely.

“Sorry.”

As I spoke, Choi Ye-bin (killer) questioned me with a doubtful look.

“You went to meet someone called the Avenger?”

She nodded silently, as if amazed by my actions.

“What if something big had happened when you went alone? According to the comments you showed me before, that person seemed really dangerous.”

“There wasn’t anything particularly dangerous. But it was something I had to do, even if it meant taking risks.”

“To prevent a war…? So, did that work out well?”

“I prevented it. Right now, he’s unconscious, but when he wakes up, he’ll withdraw his plans for the war.”

I immediately entered the community and, using administrator privileges, deleted some of the comments exchanged with the Avenger. After all, if I left the comment asking for consent to use the warp function as it was, the Avenger might think strangely later on.

After deleting some comments, I sent her a picture.

[Original file of the mass slaughter magic improvement journal.jpg]

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – You disappeared while we were talking, so I’m just sending the picture. Please check it later, and please don’t bother me anymore…

Finishing with a ridiculous act. Now that the Avenger, who has awakened from unconsciousness, will deduce the situation before and after seeing the picture I sent to the community, the war will naturally be delayed.

If she sees manipulated comments in a situation where she feels the fear of war, without feeling any strangeness about her own situation of fainting due to engraved magic, then of course, she will cancel the surprise attack war.

Choi Ye-bin, who had been watching me act quickly in a daze, asked a question.

“Did you really know it was dangerous this time? Where is the crazy wizard warping to a place even unknown to me?”

“If risking my life alone can prevent a war, isn’t that a gain? If a war had broken out, the primary target would have been the Tower of Magic. It probably wouldn’t have guaranteed my life either.”

Choi Ye-bin pondered my words for a moment and murmured.

“Even if you say that, didn’t you just want to protect innocent people? Like how you saved me before…”

“What am I protecting? I was just acting out of concern for my own safety.”

Choi Ye-bin chuckled upon hearing the man’s words. It was because his words were being judged as lies.

“He’s really a good person… Why does he act like that on the forum?”

“What did you say?”

McDerrath, who hadn’t properly listened due to engaging in the community, asked again, and Choi Ye-bin replied.

“Why do you act like such an attention seeker on the forum?”

“Because it’s fun, isn’t it? More importantly, leave some comments on my posts. It’s frustrating that these guys only leave hate comments.”

“Ha…”

Choi Ye-bin quietly sighed and began to leave comments on the administrator’s posts in the toxic community.

killer – The administrator is truly a warm-hearted person!

killer – The administrator is wise and intelligent!

killer – I’m a fervent fan of the administrator!

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Yeah, the admin’s alternate account is here, and this guy doesn’t even think about hiding anymore.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Is this idiot still playing this concept? Has he gone insane now? Praising that lunatic admin.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – It seems like the admin’s ego is through the roof.

Today, Choi Ye-bin was once again tormented by cyberbullying.

—

About three days passed. Prepared for any potential situation, all forces were mobilized to focus on defense, but there was no attack from the Succubus Union. It should have been their original plan to invade yesterday.

The war had been postponed. We don’t know when the next outbreak will be, but for now, we’ve overcome the immediate crisis.

McDerrath used the unique administrator function to send a 1:1 chat to love peace.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Thanks to you, we managed to prevent the war without significant damage.

love peace – Huh?! 1:1 chat works? By the way… You’re the MacDerrath, the administrator?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Seems like it, doesn’t it?

love peace – No…? Revenger said that the administrator couldn’t possibly be MacDerrath!

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Right. I’m not MacDeras, but I had a way to contact that person, so I informed you of what you said. After I told him, he took care of it on his own.

love peace – I see…! So, you knew MacDeras? But… by any chance, what happened to Revenger? Does stopping the war mean… MacDeras killed Revenger?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – There’s no way he would have killed him. If he did, a war would have broken out immediately.

love peace – Really?! Then that’s a relief. So, no one got hurt, and the war ended.

To be precise, not everyone was unharmed, but… well, at this point, it’s something that Revenger wouldn’t remember, so I didn’t bother to contradict Love Peace’s words.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Is there something you want? Thanks to you, we’ve overcome a great crisis. As a reward, I’ll use the transfer function to send you what you want.

love peace – Can I really? By any chance, do you have something like a magic manual for learning spells?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Yeah, I do. Why do you ask?

love peace – Actually… there’s an academy entrance exam coming up soon… It’s a very important episode in our novel, so…

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – What’s the title of the novel you’ve possessed?

love peace – I… I can’t tell you that!

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – You know the novel I’ve possessed, don’t you?

love peace – If you put it that way…

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Alright. Just send me what you want.

After finishing the chat, MacDeras stared at the administrator function intently. Somehow, after preventing this war, a new ability had emerged.

Administrator’s unique authority: [Link]

[Link: Allows linking with desired individuals. When using warp ability, you will warp together with the linked person.]

Love Peace is a sorceress. And she’s on the verge of an important test. What she needs isn’t just a magic manual but a one-on-one lesson from a great sorcerer. Surely, that’s what she desires more.

Just in case, MacDeras packaged two elixirs and a magic manual in a box as before and sent a message.

ㅇㅇ[Admin] – Madoser, I’ll send a surprise gift along with the elixir.

love peace – R…Really? Thank you!

He then went to Choi Ye-bin, who was in the room.

“Choi Ye-bin. Can you help me this time?”

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m planning to go to a novel where the one who helped me is, but strangely, if I just possess another novel, my magical abilities will be penalized. It’s not that I can’t use a sword or my body, but if 50 to 100 people rush at once, I’m also in danger as a human, right? So I’m asking if you could be my bodyguard. It’s safer to go together than alone. And I trust you.”

“Aren’t there many more capable people than me?”

“You’re the only one who knows that I’m doing the extermination quest.”

After some thought, Choi Ye-bin nodded.

“If I can go with you… I’ll help.”

Then, Macderrus linked with Choi Ye-bin and sent a message to Lovepeace.

[The admin wants to use the warp function along with the items. Will you accept?]

As Lovepeace pressed accept,

With a warm light, the figures of Macderrus and Choi Ye-bin disappeared.
