The magic that fills this world can be broadly classified into three categories.

Magical power that flows through the body’s magic circuit and belongs to me, magic power in its natural state that does not belong to anyone, and, like electrons, magic power that flows through someone else’s circuit and becomes someone else’s.

Usually, the use of magical power is done with the first and second.

In the case of the physical wave, they use the magic within the body to strengthen their bodies and weapons, and wizards use their magic to draw the magic of the natural state to express magic.

Other people’s magical power cannot interfere.

This is the established opinion of the hunter industry, but that does not mean it is completely impossible.

It is a characteristic that can be exerted by interfering with the opponent’s magical flow, or it can interfere with the flow to a certain extent among magicians whose levels are significantly different.

That’s it.

Although it is possible to disrupt the opponent’s flow and make it difficult to use magical power, there has not been any information on how to use someone else’s magical power as if it were one’s own, nor even the characteristics.

But, voila.

“I guess there are no absolutes in this world.”

The new name for magical energy absorption that changed to ‘???’ is gluttony.

The moment the sealed ability is awakened, the magical energy flowing into its heart becomes clearer.

and.

I was convinced that I could interfere with the flow of magical power that clearly belonged to someone else.

“Let’s write together, please.”

The moment I decided to have it, the stream of magic power that was flowing unstoppably toward one place split into two branches.

“oh… !”

A dark and gloomy magical energy, completely different from the existing magical energy, seeps into the body.

I don’t know if this is because of the magical power used by the monster, or if it is simply a characteristic unique to Kraken.

But I know one thing.

“… “The amount is ridiculous?”

A disaster level monster.

It is also impossible for the current body to handle the magical power of the Kraken, which is enormous in size.

“Whoa.”

Every time you exhale, black magical energy flows out.

The overflowing magical power began to take a toll on my body.

If things continue like this, my body might break down from the inside, or in the worst case scenario, it might explode.

There is one way to solve this.

“I guess I should use as much as I can pull.”

I bring out the magic that comes to mind.

「Fire Rain.」

A huge rain of flames that cannot even be compared to before is pouring down.

「Frozen Bird.」

BEEE!

Just looking at its size, a bird that is four to five times larger than before is flying through the air.

「Hurricane.」

Multiple vortices that seem to tear the entire surroundings apart cause the body of the clone to shake.

「Shock Wave.」

Pajijijit-!

When the lightning flowing through the ground was added to this, it truly became a picture.

The end of the world.

It seems like a struggle between a blue bird flying there and a survivor trying to somehow overcome it.

“… “Can you still gather magical power like this?”

No matter how many high-level magics were put into it, it just glared at me as if it were going to kill me, and it didn’t let down its defense stance and was constantly gathering magic power.

The way he endured all kinds of shame with his body seemed to say that.

When this is completed, you will definitely die.

Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!

The three hearts pounding and absorbing magical power emit louder noise.

“… … .”

It looks like preparations are slowly coming to an end.

defense… doesn’t seem to have much meaning.

The amount of magical power is similar to that of this guy, so it may be possible to offset it, but what comes after that is the problem.

[Time Remaining: 01:11]

After 1 minute and 11 seconds, your ability level drops by half.

Even my current body can’t handle the current magic power, and if I weaken here, the consequences are obvious.

Before he can do anything, he will be eaten by my abilities and die.

So what you need to prepare now is not defense, but attack.

We need an attack that can pierce the breath he is so confident in and even break that strong body.

It is impossible to simply fire advanced magic.

In that case, you need to load the magic in the row above that… .

Suddenly, I am reminded of the collective magic unleashed by dozens of wizards from the Magic Tower combining their magical powers.

Shouldn’t it be at least that size to handle the load on the body and break through the breath?

“Hmm.”

When I think of the magic I saw before entering the Kraken, the magical arrangement and magic techniques that came with it come to mind clearly.

Did you say it was the Thunder God’s Spear?

As a huge amount of magical energy was invested, its destructive power was at a level worthy of its name, but its form was extremely sloppy.

Well, I think it was a reasonable compromise on their part.

It is a group magic that requires so many wizards to work together.

In order to pay attention to detail, they all have to picture the same shape in their minds, which is virtually impossible even if all wizards are twins from the same mother.

It gradually begins to become painful due to the full magical power.

At the same time, a sense of omnipotence arises, as if I can do anything with just this magic power.

The ice birds Bingdak and Thunder God’s Spear, which were guaranteed a certain degree of autonomous behavior, were seen just a moment ago.

The two most impressive things and overflowing magic combine to create a single image.

Not the spear held by the Raijin, but the Raijin itself, holding a spear made of lightning.

“… “Sounds fun, right?”

I remember the time when Han Ju-hee and I were getting to know each other before we got married.

Even back then, she was incapable of using magic, so she would talk about various things until she was exhausted just because I was a good listener to her.

The most impressive story I heard at the time was a story from before magic became established as a law or science as it is now.

“Magic is freedom… , or something close to creation.”

She admired the wizards of that time.

If you think about it, until then, you used to show off your own special magic or forms that others didn’t know about.

Now, I don’t know why I became a wizard who only pursues efficiency, no different from other wizards.

anyway.

It is said that the magic system before everyone started using it by recording the most efficient form created through detailed magic arrangement and magic circles created by drawing lines with distinct meanings, was quite different from what it is now.

Squares, triangles, circles, stars, etc.

In the past, even if only one fireball was used, each fireball had a different shape.

Current magic pursues extreme efficiency in a unified manner.

So what was the magic of the past like? There was plenty of room for the caster to be more creative.

“romance.”

okay.

I am extremely happy just using magic, and I don’t know what kind of magic to use and what form it can be made into.

Aren’t the people whose hearts pounded just by thinking about them the wizards of that time?

“Let’s give it a try, okay?”

Let’s create something cool by borrowing the romance and wisdom of ancient sages.

Waste of horsepower?

Why do you think like that?

If you stick a straw into the Kraken, it will overflow with magical power.

“The first thing to do is… .”

Gathers the magical power filled in the body and transforms its properties.

Since we need to create a thunder god, the attribute to be converted naturally has to be electricity.

Absolutely!

Paget!

An enormous amount of golden magical power sparks and brightens the surrounding area.

The magical power of the lightning attribute swelled to a size greater than that of a Kraken clone that was 3 meters tall.

“This isn’t enough.”

It has only increased in size, but magical energy is constantly being pumped into the inside, which is extremely fragile.

Rumbling!

It is only when I compress and recompress beyond my limit that I feel it is impossible to hold it any longer, and then I finally start to like the large lump in front of me.

“The ingredients are ready… .”

It’s time to create something that looks like it’s going to explode and emit an enormous amount of electricity when touched.

The idea of what form it will take is set in my head.

God of lightning.

A form that naturally comes to mind when you hear that tinnitus.

Rich hair and beard, dignified eyes and arrogant pupils embedded in them.

A bulky figure.

A thin piece of cloth draped over a sculptural, muscular body that is hard to believe is human.

If you give the cloud that carries him and moves anywhere in an instant, and finally a long spear in the shape of lightning… .

“Oh, it’s the same.”

A Greek and Roman mythology comic book that I enjoyed reading as a child.

Zeus, who seems to have just come out of there, is lying on a cloud in an arrogant posture as if he is overlooking everything.

The only reference for the image of God was a comic book?

Some people may think so, but I would like to ask a question.

If there is a God in this world, has anyone ever met the face of God directly?

It is said that even the Vatican saint who worships God only heard his voice and did not see him.

“The form doesn’t really matter.”

If there is such a thing as God in the first place, it is rude to group it into one form.

To an omniscient and omnipotent God, form is just a shell to pass a fleeting moment.

What is important is whether the characteristics of God are alive and well within it.

That’s why it comes to mind.

The majesty of the highest god of Olympus, Zeus, and the lecherous nature of being infatuated at the sight of a woman.

Even a fickle mind that changes every moment.

The moment when I perfectly realized the outside and inside of Zeus, the god of thunder that I had pictured in my head.

The area in front of my eyes began to turn red.

[warning! warning!]

Soon, a red message window pops up and overuses the word warning.

What is this?

[A strong body was detected through an abnormal route.]

It was then.

『It’s been a while since I last smelled the smell of the human world. It’s still awful. However, because it is a flower that bloomed beautifully in that terrible place, it is also true that it is even more delicious to pick.』

“… … ?”

The magic in the shape of a god began to flutter as it pleases.

Pajik!

The magic before my eyes disappears with a small noise.

『You are nobler than any flower I have ever picked.』

Eventually, the voice came from behind me again.

Lightning magic, Zeus is arbitrarily clinging to Juyeon and evaluating her face.

“… “What on earth happened?”

At the same time that I felt like I was indeed the god I had imagined in my head, I was filled with confusion at the words and actions that mere magic should not do.

“Kkakakakakakakak-!”

An enormous wave of magical power is transmitted along with the light beam of the Kraken’s clone.

“this… !”

As I hastily turn my back, dark blue magical energy is shooting towards me.

A huge magic cannon that seems to make everything it touches disappear without a trace.

Chewing on my lower lip, I gather as much magical energy as I can and form a shield in front of my eyes.

「Aegis.」

A shield of ice that unfolds in an instant.

Waves of magic pour over it.

Quaaaa-!

The strong shield seemed to block the waves of magic for a moment.

Kwasik!

Soon, it could not withstand the swirling force and gradually began to break down.

“… “You’re screwed.”

Because I used up all my magical energy just a moment ago, I didn’t have enough magical energy to set up a shield.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Quang!

When the shield that was barely holding on finally shatters and scatters, and you try to build a new shield to buy even a moment’s time.

An eerie voice comes from behind you that makes your whole body tense just by hearing it.

『How dare this bug-like bastard try to hurt my flower.』

Paget!

A ray of golden light passes by my right ear.

“… … .”

A ray of light that doesn’t seem like it could kill even a rat.

The results it produced were amazing.

It wasn’t enough to completely erase the magic that surged in like an angry wave; it even pierced the chest of the Kraken’s clone.

“Geee!”

The hall was filled with the pained screams of a man who had suddenly lost his heart.
