-Tingling.

The back of my neck continued to tingle ever since I said to myself that Professor Zhan was an old woman.

The reason was obvious even without looking.

-“Ha.. Haha.. Sorry.. All the chalk is broken?”

He was so angry that he forgot he was even stuttering, and his black eyes were focused on me.

I feel fortunate that this is the last class.

The moment it ended, I was thinking of a way to escape.

It won’t be easy to run away from that monster, but if you want to live even a little longer, you have to run.

Actually, if I had just suppressed my curiosity a little, nothing would have happened…

Honestly, I don’t think there are many people who can tolerate that.

It wasn’t something I said out loud to my face, but it was also my innermost thoughts.

“W.. the characters here.. ah.. haven’t been interpreted yet.. no.. I.. exactly.. I.. couldn’t interpret them..”

During Professor Jan’s lecture, where she stuttered again, the words that she couldn’t speak came out of her mouth for the first time.

It came as a huge shock not only to me but also to the other cadets.

“Professor Jan can’t do that either?”

“Yes.. Yes..! Not only me, but the other dragons.. Ah.. no.. the dragons also failed..”

He changed his words, but no cadet could pinpoint it.

I just think it was a mistake.

Of course, it’s true that I made a mistake, but my perspective is just a little different.

Professor Zhan, who made a mistake, turned slightly pale.

However, no cadet noticed it except me.

I too sighed in relief and listened to the explanation.

“With this text, even decoding magic is useless..”

I’ve heard of detox magic.

One of the most widely known among unique magics that an individual can possess.

However, it is safe to say that they are quite rare as there are only a few of them with unique magic.

There are only about twenty people in the empire who can use detox magic.

It is a text that cannot be revealed even with such decoding magic.

perhaps..

“Well.. So the ancient wizards.. guessed.. that this letter.. might be the letter of God.. ”

“God’s text..”

I couldn’t take my eyes off the magic circle with its red light flickering after hearing that it was related to God.

I just stared blankly at the magic circle until the lecture ended.

Please memorize all the letters of God contained within.

I still don’t know what that means.

But I don’t know why.

I felt like I had to memorize it.

“Be.. Berador.. er.. follow me..”

“Ah..”

So much so that I forgot that I had to run away right away.

In the end, I was taken to Professor Jan and was able to experience what hell is like in advance.

*

Agnes and Bea, who were waiting outside, were startled when they saw my daylight, perhaps because they had escaped from hell after two hours.

“Be, bera! Are you okay?”

“What happened?”

I excused myself by saying that I had just taken an additional class on magic circles from the girls who were supporting me by putting an arm around each shoulder.

Then the two remembered the magic circle and made disgusted expressions as if they didn’t want to even look at it.

Agnes thought it would be okay since she was in school, but I saw Bea, who was studying in her own way, make that kind of expression.

I was able to see how much awareness there was of the magic circle.

“I didn’t think it was worth making that kind of expression…”

“Because it’s you, Vera.. For other people.. Ugh..”

“It’s interesting, but… it’s not really.”

I was curious about how they would react if they found out that I was trying to decipher the letters in the magic circle from now on, but I held back because I thought they would look at me with strange expressions.

As I was thinking about this and that, I found myself outside the academy.

I had been walking without letting go of my support since a while ago, and it was obvious where I was going.

“Since we studied a lot, let’s go to a cafe and catch up on what we missed.”

“Okay..”

Even so, I felt like I was in need of a party because I was constantly trying to get a proper scolding from Professor Jan.

I may have to think harder in the future.

When we arrived a few months later, the cafe still boasted a luxurious appearance and clean taste.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a break like this once in a while.

After everything is taken care of, of course.

Whether the opponent is Zeus or another god.

Isn’t it something you have to live with first?

*

A night with countless Milky Way stars in the sky and a gentle breeze blowing.

For some reason, Zeus, sitting on the roof of Olympus with his eyes closed, looked more serious than usual.

There was a slight smile on his lips as he closed his eyes and recalled the past.

“.. Jeong Yong-ha..”

Zeus, known as the king of Olympus, had very little experience risking his life in battle.

The first battle that was difficult enough to risk my life was the battle with my father Kranos.

After that, other gods praised and feared him.

That’s why I got to know a person as the boring days passed by.

Among the gods, he is called the God Slayer and must be killed.

But it wasn’t like that to Zeus.

However, it was different for Eros, who was not interested in the opposite sex, to take interest in him.

Because Eros was the goddess he wanted.

That’s why I sent my son as a warning.

-“I heard that there is a human being called the Godslayer… You go and warn him. Ares.”

-“Okay. You are the king.”

The son went out with a confident expression, but all he returned was the news that he had died and turned into a star.

When the news reached Zeus’s ears, only one thought came to mind.

Anger over losing his son?

Fear that God is dead?

Not all of that.

Anticipation that someone who might kill him has appeared.

If he just wanted to die, he could have died, but there was something he really wanted to feel.

The helplessness of being defeated by overwhelming strength.

Because Zeus was more powerful than anyone else from the moment he was born.

It’s something I’ve never felt before.

This is what many gods felt because of me.

Funny enough, it was the last reason he was still alive.

-“Ares is dead.. I guess there is a traitor.”

-“That’s right. There is no reason for a god to die for a mere human, right?”

The 12 gods of Olympus who came with the news that Ares was dead denied the news that the other person was a human and tried to disparage him somehow.

Zeus thought differently.

It was humans who created the gods.

Why do you think you won’t be killed by humans?

But I didn’t bother to say it out loud.

There is no way they don’t know this fact.

They just turn a blind eye to the truth out of pride that they are gods.

I just don’t want to believe that God exists beneath humans.

That’s why they use humans as playthings.

To instinctively learn that they are superior.

-“I will go this time.”

-“No. Let him go and kill him..”

Zeus, who had been listening quietly, stood up quietly in front of his son, who volunteered to go.

It ran as if it was firing towards somewhere.

He ran into the sky of Olympus and ripped open space with his hands.

As a result, they were able to get to Earth through the gap that was created.

-“Haa…”

As he arrived on Earth, he saw a man with black hair in front of him.

A man who slaughters tens of thousands of demons with a single sword in his hand.

I saw the demon disappearing as if exploding with white light and the man watching the demon with indifferent eyes, so I got closer.

-“Again.”

He went down to the ground by lightning, but he was still glaring at himself with indifferent eyes.

Has anyone ever looked at you like that?

-“.. Why did you come here.. Zeus..”

His tone was extremely arrogant, but even that was just a little bit of fun for Zeus.

As he walked slowly, there was some tension in the man’s eyes.

Looking at it, I raised one corner of my mouth and adjusted my eye level.

-“Do I have to tell you why I came here?”

-“.. If you don’t tell me why you came here, I will cut you down.”

‘I’ll cut it down.’

I’ve heard this once.

To none other than his own father.

Perhaps because it reminded me of that battle, I couldn’t help but laugh.

It seemed like it had a different meaning to the man, but there was no need for any explanation.

Rather, it is better to fight with all your might.

The man’s sharp sword caught my eye and I stretched out my hand to hold it.

Then the man twitched but could not move.

A little fresh blood was flowing from my hand, which I held open for a moment.

-“Of course…humans are fun.”

-‘Creating a god like us with just imagination…’

I swallowed my words and got up from my seat and prepared for battle.

-“I will punish the God Slayer in the name of Zeus, the king of Olympus. There will be no objections to that..”

-‘Hmm… wouldn’t it seem too uncool if I just said it this way?’

As Zeus thought for a moment, an idea occurred to his mind.

People try to avenge their children.

-“I will pay you back for killing my son last time.”

‘.. It’s not that bad now that I think about it.”

Seeing the man preparing for battle made me smile for the first time in a long time.

The twisted smile of his maniacally longing for a battle.

The battle where they try to take each other’s lives.

The battle ended with his victory as expected.

I didn’t kill him.
