There was no way there existed another ability that could devour fire, utilize its force and not let any fire close . But how was that woman able to imitate Muyoung’s power?
‘An imitation . ’
That’s right . That wasn’t Muyoung’s real power .
If it was Muyoung he would have devoured that fire in an instant .
But that woman wasn’t able to do that . She was mixing something from the light attribute and walking on a tightrope .
Although it wasn’t at the level of the ‘Authority of Fire’ which Muyoung possessed, it was surely something similar to that .
“Can you help me? I don’t think I will be able to block all that . ”
Bae Suzy looked at Bae Sungmin .
Fire burning
The blaze seemed like it was going to destroy the world . That balrog had been alive since ancient times so maybe it was because of that that the internal energy it had stored was unimaginable .
‘Master is getting involved . ’
Sungmin came to a conclusion on his own .
Giving orders to the undead and the specters and imitating the power of fire wasn’t a normal thing at all .
In the first place, Muyoung’s power was miles away of being something that could be transmitted .
But the originality . A power that had its own characteristic .
Was that possible merely by inheriting or transmitting?
So that meant that Muyoung had allowed that power .
‘But why?’
He hadn’t heard anything beforehand .
In the first place, Muyoung had closed the doors of his manor and confined himself .
But there was still a point of contact with Muyoung…When he doesn’t know anything .
Sungmin didn’t like that . At least, the closest ones under the influence of Muyoung were Takan or himself .
And that woman was just a nobody that appeared out of nowhere .
“I will need an explanation after everything ends . ”
Sungmin’s voice was as cold as it could be . Muyoung was the master that had saved Sungmin, made him, and gave him everything that he currently had . That fact didn’t change even if they were 2 years apart .
It was obvious that he would follow him and so he decided to support him by his side . The reason he increased his strength and forces was to prepare for when Muyoung, his master, returned .
‘So there was something I didn’t know . ’
It bothered him and she was also a woman that got on his nerves .
That was true because she continued to disrupt his mind even after he sent her off .
But before that, the consciousness of her being ‘someone that appeared out of nowhere’ was stronger .
That was the reason Sungmin couldn’t get close to her .
“I understand . Quickly…!”
Suzy gritted her teeth .
The beginning was the only time she could feel the taste of the fire .
Even though she had ‘received’ Muyoung’s strength, what Suzy could use was strictly limited .
Muyoung was the administrator of the dam . That meant that he was the one that held the decision on how much he was going to be released from the dam .
In addition, Muyoung was like the sea and Suzy was merely a lake .
If she could receive endlessly then her body wouldn’t be able to endure .
“Καλην?χτα . ”
“Καλην?χτα . ”
Sungmin performed a ‘block’ once again .
He summoned the sturdiest shield he possessed and called the witch ‘Beatrice’ by offering the Hydra .
“Block the fire . ”
Kyaaaaaaaa!
The witch screamed .
A ray of light came out of her only eye and her mouth and then split up to stop the fire .
Sungmin’s staff trembled . It had started to congest for having surpassed the magic limit .
However, Sungmin’s ability to control magic was one of a kind . This meant that his foundations as a magician had reached its peak .
If it was simply magical talent, then Sungmin was confident on not falling behind Enroth or Amon .
His magic power continued to get amplified more and more while it was exploding .
And so, his magic power surpassed 700 in an instant .
“Turn over . ”
The moment his magic power passed 700, his words started to hold strength .
It was an obvious thing as his magic power had transcended although for an instant .
When he suppressed the fire, the ground turned over and devoured the flames .
If Suzy had taken care of the initial phase, then the remaining thing was all taken care of by Sungmin .
Totter .
Sungmin tottered .
“Whew, we could have been in deep trou…Are you okay?”
Suzy opened her eyes widely and said .
A lich was evil in nature but it was following Muyoung . There wasn’t only the lich but also an incredible number of undead, specters, etc .
Suzy still didn’t know what she was doing or where was this place .
So she thought that there would certainly be a reason .
For Suzy, Muyoung was ‘good’ even though he was a bit silent .
“Let’s rest for a moment . ”
Sungmin kept balance with his staff .
A huge dog appeared as he dust off his hands .
Suzy looked at Sungmin riding on a huge black dog with strange eyes .
‘That great of a magician follows mister…’
Honestly speaking, it was the first time she met a magician on that level .
No human being would be able to do what that lich just did . Even an Archmage that has obtained ‘Amon’s star’ wouldn’t be able to show that kind of ‘miracle’ .
And even if she wasn’t able to see properly at war, the quality of the undead, specters and monsters was different .
Even the Great City would be in danger in front of these numbers .
Gulp!
‘Mister just…’
Merely a few years .
Muyoung had achieved a lot of things in that time .
And would have worked harder than that .
Suzy clenched her fists .
She didn’t know what she could do but decided to do everything she could .
She determined herself like that .
* * *
Bang!
Enroth slammed down his staff .
He was looking at the balrog .
He watched everything from overwhelming the balrog alone, and self destructing due to the spell .
‘Elder Lich…He’s not easy to deal with . ’
It was just for a moment but the power of the Elder Lich became comparable to his even though just for a moment .
Thanks to that he didn’t suffer much damage even at the self destruction of the balrog .
But what about the human woman that appeared out of nowhere?
‘Is that woman the one that killed Shar-Shazar?’
Shar-Shazar had died by the hands of a human . Was that human that woman?
A special person that could control fire .
It seemed like she would be able to show great strength in special conditions .
If Shar-Shazar had fallen into a trap, he could have been defeated by that woman .
‘But that’s not enough . ’
It wasn’t as much as he had expected .
He should rather be more aware of the Elder Lich .
You could say that the spell to amplify magic power was an art . Even Enroth wasn’t able to do that .
‘I want that Lich . ’
Three demon kings have died .
He needed a new demon king to protect and assist him .
A lich was a king in the first place . He didn’t know why a king was along insignificant beings but he thought that he may be able to lead him to the correct road .
In addition, he thought that the three demon kings together didn’t amount to the worth of that lich .
Enroth judged that the Elder Lich hadn’t grown completely but wasn’t able to do so . It was because there was no magician that could guide him in magic .
But Enroth was suitable in that side . And if his abilities were outstanding, he could take him to the devil Amon and let him acquire magical knowledge .
Perhaps, he may become more outstanding than the ‘Monarch of Death’ .
The four transcendent beings . If he obtained a being that could surpass the Monarch of Death, that was one of the four, then Amon’s strength would also become greater .
It hurt that he lost three demon kings and even the balrog but obtaining that lich could compensate all that . That lich was more worthy than that .
He would be paying it cheap if he obtained the lich .
“Increase the speed . ”
Enroth ordered .
At that moment, a huge ‘castle’ flying in the sky started to move faster .
* * *
Muyoung was floating in the air while sitting on his knees . He closed his eyes and stimulated his senses .
He had obtained a divinity . Even if it was only a half, he had now become a half immortal .
The world looked different to him now that he became an immortal .
All the things . Even if those things weren’t living beings everything ‘flowed’ .
Muyoung was also only one point of that flow .
Perhaps, being a god wasn’t that complicated at all . The important thing was how well could one sympathize with these things that flowed .
Such as things like air and magic power that was on the earth .
‘What kind of being is a devil?’
He suddenly got curious .
The devils were also gods but they didn’t belong inside the flow .
‘They aren’t able to sympathize . ’
They didn’t have the ability to sympathize, although they were gods . That’s why they are ‘evil’ . The world doesn’t accept them .
Muyoung entered the flow . He thought that the answer would be at the ring of this flow .
Muyoung’s soul started to get smaller and smaller .
And at some point entered a certain ‘breach’ .
A breach…or a door .
The moment he opened that door he found a transparent being .
“You are not an invited being . ”
“Who are you?”
It was a surprising thing .
Muyoung’s soul had gotten smaller than everyone else’s and entered a breach that he could only enter while his soul was small but there was someone already there .
“I am the administrator of ‘nothingness’ . And this is the lowest floor of all . This is the place where the ones that couldn’t become gods or lost their divinities fall to . But you…are strange . ”
It was the voice of a man but it also sounded like a woman’s .
‘Nothingness . ’
Muyoung repeated the words of the being .
Nothingness . In other words nihility .
There were many talking about this place but no one knew exactly what kind of place this was .
The administrator spoke .
“You are not a fallen one . So you came to this place by yourself? I have seen someone like you once . ”
“You did?”
“The name of that person was called Solomon . He wanted the key . Do you also want the key?”
Muyoung frowned .
He said that Solomon had come to this place to look for a key . That meant that he was an immortal that could find nothingness .
‘But if Solomon is an immortal… . ’
Does that mean that he didn’t die yet?
“What does ‘key’ mean?”
“The key exists to open things that are closed . The key he wanted was the key to open the door of ‘nothingness’ and ‘demon world’ . ”
Nothingness and the demon world!
This was the reason why a passageway connecting Earth and the demon world appeared out of nowhere .
But why did he want the key of nothingness?
“Can I also obtain those keys?”
“You can but instead you have to give your most treasured things . That is the rule of nothingness . ”
“Do you mean that I have to cut an arm?”
“No way . For example your lover, emotions, name…Those kinds of things . Physical things don’t hold any meaning in the nothingness . ”
“So Solomon threw two of those things . ”
“Because he obtained two keys . ”
Solomon obtained two keys .
It meant that an immortal with a divinity threw away two precious things to obtain the keys .
Muyoung shook his head . He wasn’t planning on throwing himself just to obtain a key from someone .
“I don’t need it . ”
“Hm, you are really peculiar . Fine . I think that you will be able to give me something more worthy than those kind of things . ”
“I don’t need anything in particular . ”
“No, you do . Right . Als Nova . How about the book of the Great Magician?”
Muyoung flinched .
Als Nova!
It was a book that had magic powerful enough to destroy the Blue Temple .
Als Nova had gone to the hands of the demon gods in the past .
In the end the Great Magician ‘Merlin’ died by the hands of the devils and the world fell towards destruction .
But of course, he now had his doubts on whether Merlin was a good existence or not at this point .
“Solomon told me to hand this over to the next person that comes to this place . That being could be a good or a bad god or perhaps a human . But he also told me that I could decide whether or not I give this to them . ”
The problem was that Solomon entrusted this to him .
However, Als Nova was something he really wanted .
“What do you want from me?”
The administrator spoke with no expression in his face .
“Tell me the story of having experienced the world one more time . You are a really rare person . If I listen to your story I feel like the nothingness would be filled a bit more . ”
