“… What is the use of doing that now?”

The guy was laughing with the corners of his mouth raised. No, from the looks of it, it looked like he was trying to do that.

Underneath the guy’s feet, there was a ‘magic circle’ that looked as if it had been randomly stirred up here and there.

‘It’s just an imitation.’

This is absurd. What he did was not the ‘magic’ that I manifest.

Whether or not the source of my magic is ultimately the power of the pathetic bastard they call the Great Blah, that’s not how I use it.

Just like a game. Yes, the manifestation of power in the form of what was believed to be a ‘skill’ within the game.

To borrow a phrase from a guy called the Collector, the basis of my magic was to modify the results of this world into reality through the power I possessed.

In the end, this world is also like an illusion created by this guy’s will. It’s like a lucid dream state where you recognize that you’re dreaming.

In the end, it was nothing more than a falsification of the dream world that appeared as if using a game skill.

“What kind of joke are you playing? That’s me? I guess you’ve never seen me use magic.”

I frowned.

Why are you doing this play? It’s probably a bluff that you’ll find out right away anyway.

I was just a little surprised because he used teleportation, so my reaction was delayed. It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t fight it.

Even if I judge it calmly, he is below me.

The fact that he has to use people like Han Si-woo in his final plan is proof that his power is already incomplete.

─Is it Northmund after all? Haha, that’s ironic.

Without even having time to hear his self-deprecating answer, I immediately waved my hand.

Now that I understood the structure, there was no longer any reason to agree with his pranks.

“From the beginning, my realm was a realm that imperfect people like you could not cross. Besides, even if you got it, it wouldn’t mean anything.”

And the finger pointing at him slowly flowed.

With our eyes flowing together, I looked at each of my students one by one. Everyone I met at the end of that gaze bowed their heads slightly to me.

“… And you don’t dare take what’s mine.”

kill.

I don’t have time to hang out anymore with this kind of awkward play.

When I lightly swing my hand in the air, numerous white plasmas are released as if in response, burning the air and crackling.

─Oh my!

Through the tip of its widened eyes, the magic, or rather the power, that was first shown in this world is unleashed at full power.

Instead of spreading from a huge sphere like it did in Seoul, the magic was simply manifested from the fingertips reaching out towards him.

Colorful bullets rained down on him, as if fired from a Gatling gun that used light as ammunition.

─Northmund!

Getting stung like that.

Burn away his screams.

Kwaaa!

*

“… This is the professor’s.”

There was a strong burning smell.

It’s similar to Jang A-hyeon’s ability, but I can’t even dare to say that it’s on a similar level.

The smell of destruction created by hundreds or thousands of light particles fired at a density that would not be surprising even if it were a solar cannon.

I couldn’t tell if it was the same magic as the rain of light shown in Seoul in the past.

Compared to its gorgeous appearance, the power of each particle was low.

It was so powerful that it was impossible to imagine that it was something like the one that just pierced through the monsters and disappeared upon hitting the asphalt floor.

I used the same magic, but it wouldn’t be very important to tell whether it was influenced by my emotional state or if it was another higher-level magic.

There would be no human standing on the earth, burning with extremely high heat, melting the quartz of the earth and turning it close to vitrification, and distinguishing between such things.

At least everyone standing behind me will.

And standing on the melted ashes.

─Cough.

The one who was staggering around with a body like a rubber balloon, completely damaged, was a miserable-looking black dragon.

“Hmm.”

I gave a light exclamation.

The bodies of demons, which are said to be etheric in substance and similar to shells on the outside, were no different from those of demons, and things that appeared to be their essence were gushing out from all over the holey bodies.

The man’s condition looked so serious that you didn’t even notice that a drop of saliva was dripping from his open mouth.

Isn’t it a bit bland than I thought? Rather, I feel like the demons I have had so far have caused me more trouble.

Of course, that happened because I only used the sword to save mana, and if I had poured all my strength into it, he would have evaporated without even a moment.

“In the end, you are only this good. How dare you treat me so arrogantly with such abilities?”

Feeling like I was throwing away something that was bothering me, I turned my calm gaze towards him.

Suddenly, I see him frowning at my calm gaze directed at him.

Naturally, Alexstras was also trying to control the damage as much as possible. As if a torn shell had been tilted, the colors of darkness leaking from the torn area were gradually fading away.

But there is no reason to wait for that.

The red dragon who had been slaughtering the guy’s army approached the guy who was making noise-filled moans and raised his hand, which was burning so white that it was thought that the light that had been shot at the guy was still there… .

Whoa! do.

I hit him with such force that it felt like I was crushing his head.

─Wow!

The bastard’s moans rang out. It felt like I was slamming a huge sack full of water into my hands.

In a way, it felt like I had hit a slightly viscous liquid monster. This may not just be a problem with his body structure, which makes him look like a rubber balloon filled with ether.

Even while he was distracted, he probably modified the area where he was hit to some extent and rolled backwards to minimize the damage as much as possible.

“… It’s trash.”

I frowned and muttered lowly towards Alexstras, who was rolling backwards and showing a helpless appearance.

The guy also frowns at that momentum.

The evil noise of demons spreads from afar.

They must be embarrassed to see their leader cornered.

─Keee!

A monster that lets out a monster-like scream, perhaps because of its embarrassment and even lowered language skills.

too easy. too weak

This wasn’t the guy I wanted.

Was this really the leader of those who invaded this Earth?

I slowly turned my back and slowly walked towards the black dragon.

As the red dragonian looked at him appreciatively, he narrowed his eyes without saying a word.

─I see… Without a key… .

It was that moment when he thought about something as if he was mocking himself.

The huge, heavy greatsword in my hand swung at Alexstras at terrifying speed.

And before you even blink.

“Oh, no!”

Something fired from afar is aimed at the body of my greatsword. At the same time, something was seen flying towards this direction, as if being shot.

Ting in the wind! With the sound of metal, the trajectory of my sword deviated slightly, and as a result, I was unable to inflict a decisive blow on the demon I was targeting.

Let me raise my gaze at this absurd situation.

… I made eye contact with the guy.

“What is it? Are you revealing your true colors now?”

I blinked my eyes in confusion as I looked at the comical figure of a black monster running from a distance.

As I blinked, unable to understand what was going on, the big old man forced himself to breathe heavily, panting and grinning.

“Northmund! You know! Hehehehehehehehe, you can’t kill Alexstras right here! I would have told you that you need to arrest him and approach the mother of God.”

“… I don’t think he’s going to die like this.”

“As you can see, he was much weaker than expected. I just said this out of impatience.”

The Collector is looking at me, scratching his head.

No, to be exact, the eyes were somewhat empty. Instead of looking at myself, I had the feeling that I was looking into space, and coincidentally, I was located in that space.

─Demo… Stra.

“… Ah, that look. It’s been so long that I forgot. You, who like to act noble, are like this. Well, the way I see you has always been like that.”

─Dimostra! You dirty traitor!

“There’s a lot I want to say, but our main character seems frustrated, so let’s finish it quickly, Alexstras. Accept defeat. There is no other way. You can’t hit a rock with an egg, and it goes without saying that the longer you hold on, the more the shell breaks.”

─You… .

The Collector laughed and looked at the black dragon, as if it was fun.

“Did you think anything would happen if you came out yourself? Anyway, didn’t you expect this to happen from the moment you called Northmund here? There is no difference from the result, so what is so obscene?”

─You… !

“And well, your will is truly amazing. If I wasn’t that motivated, I would have committed suicide a long time ago. I don’t have the courage to live a life without such motivation.”

“Stop! What are you two planning to do!”

As something strange unfolded, I stopped talking and screamed loudly at the guys.

The traitorous demon, who had been criticizing Alexstras as if he were a kid who had come back stronger than the brats who had been tormenting him all this time, shrugged and raised his shoulders.

“Well, I won’t interfere anymore. If I say any more, I will become the target of Northmund’s wrath. Then let’s capture this guy.”

The Collector chuckled happily. Then, he slowly turns his body around as if looking at me.

Even after receiving such a great insult from someone who was once his subordinate, Alexstras did not give any additional reaction or answer.

Oh, I gave it back.

By force.

Whiiing!

“Huh?”

Without hesitation, the guy swung his great sword at the back of the Collector who turned towards me.

A huge greatsword that looks like a copy of mine. Unlike the white-blazing greatsword of my purity, this greatsword has a dull, gloomy feel.

If hit, the blade’s trajectory will pierce the skull like a tofu cut, instantly killing the traitorous demon.

However, just before it cut off his head, the Collector flung himself to one side and rolled on the ground, as if he was already ready to move.

The great sword, which narrowly lost its target, cuts through the air, making a horrifying sound, and about half of the sword sinks into the ground.

When I saw that, without hesitation, I threw my sword at him like an Olympic athlete throwing a javelin.

Once again, the two great swords literally exploded with a sound like the wind was being torn apart.

─Keee!

But that didn’t seem to be Alexstras’ goal. Or maybe this situation itself is not noticeable.

The guy’s current interest seemed to be limited to escape, so he made a loud noise and jumped into the air.

And then.

Flash!

Leaving behind a unique teleportation sound, the guy disappeared somewhere. No, if you follow the remaining magic line, the destination is obvious.

That huge castle built by Alexstras himself, visible to everyone. That was his escape.

“Keuung… That’s awesome. Alexstras… Have you gone as far as you can? I never thought it would be this dirty. He tried all sorts of things, but ended up running away because he felt like his life was a waste. I’m so fucking crazy… !”

“Hey!”

Something shot out from behind me. A cannonball-like force that is difficult to capture with the eye.

At a speed that felt like a sonic boom, someone with a red flame-like supernatural ability all over his body jumped out and swung a long sword at the comically fallen guy.

“Huh… Why are you like this? Northmund! Please stop your disciples.”

“Hey, what are you? I was watching everything! I saw how you deliberately let that demon leader escape!”

Sejun swung his great sword, swarming the Collector with a devil-like face.

And at the same time, the Collector’s hand, which I thought was just fluttering, grasped Sejun’s longsword with both hands with frightening accuracy.

Although it was a soft-looking hand movement, it was enough to reduce the momentum of Sejun’s hand wielding the long sword to zero.

“What?”

“Calm down. It wasn’t intentional. Although my expectations were wrong, I thought Alexstras would obediently follow this side. I never thought I would give up my body and run away ugly… .”

“No, what are you in the first place? It looks like a loophole from a circular bridge! How did you follow me here!”

“Ah… That’s right. Hmm… It’s too long to talk about. Anyway, I just want you to know that this was a matter discussed with Mr. Northmund. It’s not a lie.”

Anyway, it’s my fault, so I’ll join in. I frowned as I looked at the guy who was sighing exaggeratedly.

There was no doubt this guy was aiming for it. I realized that I had never told my students about this collector, and it was true that I felt quite uncomfortable as a result of that revelation.

“… What is the purpose?”

” Haven’t I already told you this many times? Of course, I understand that you don’t believe it.”

Perhaps I had been looking at him with a straight face without realizing it, but when I heard the old man clear his throat, I frowned.

I already said it.

What he promised me was that instead of Alexstras, I would become a god and help end this whole nightmare.

In the process, he may eventually disappear, but he doesn’t care.

As I stretched out my hand forward, my thrown great sword swung back towards me as if it had a will.

And I held it with a clicking sound and snorted at the collector.

Of course, I wasn’t naive enough to believe that.
