chapter 166
166 – The Final Chapter
Bella, who expected a counterattack because her posture was disrupted, teleported backwards and fell all the way. Meanwhile, Harin was greatly surprised by the familiar swordsmanship.
“This is Ido’s swordsmanship parrying! He spread rumors all around the neighborhood that he liked it so much, but in the end, even Ido’s swordsmanship…”
“Hey, be quiet! Focus on the battle. I can’t do things like blocking enemy attacks and draining their strength like a squad leader…”
Bella’s voice is heard from far away.
“You’re using paralysis magic to block the enemy’s attacks and drain their strength? Even if you can’t use that, you can still show off some tricks.”
He feels bad and burns the ice cube on his right hand.
“I can’t directly destroy your sword, but I can erase all the ice that came out in its wake. It’s too bad. The ice shards you worked so hard to bury have disappeared along with your hopes.”
“doesn’t care.”
Sohee looked like she had planned something. Ercana was startled as she quietly looked at Bella. However, she didn’t show it and remained quiet.
“Harin. And… Neri.”
“huh.”
“It looks like he’s trying to do something. It’s no use.”
Bella leaped forward and ran towards Harin. The moment she heard a singing voice, it was Aqua Symphony.
“It has a calming effect while treating the condition!”
“…”
The flames wrapped around his arm quickly die down. Healing heals the enemy. Normally, it would have been useless, but since the opponent is a magician who uses blood, healing becomes harmful.
“Sohee, now is the time!”
Crunch!
It was shallow, but I managed to make a gash on his arm. Bella looked at her bleeding arm and answered.
“Healing wave… Yes, if you heal a bleeding wound, the power of my flames will actually weaken. That’s how you created the gap… It doesn’t seem like you figured it out the first time you saw it. Did the guy above you teach you? The SS or something.”
“then?”
“Even so, it’s no use. No matter how much you prepare, you can’t defeat the Demon God.”
“You won’t know until you try. The class president is a man who rose from 222nd to 1st place. He is the first wizard in history to reach SS-rank.”
“Right. Right! By the way, Sohee. Are you ready for that now?”
Sohee looked at Bella’s body with an ambiguous expression.
“I think it’ll work if I scratch it just one more time. There’s no way I’ll get a break. Now that they’ve noticed Aqua Symphony, they won’t approach easily.”
-Then leave it to me. It is possible to create a gap for a moment.
“Eradicate the moment it touches you… Ah. Yes, if it’s you, Erkanah.”
Sohee swung her staff, filling it with ice and water. Soon, Ercana transformed into a large ice golem.
-I’ll be back.
Boom! Boom!
Erkanah runs towards Bella. She stretches out her arms vigorously, but is obliterated as soon as she touches Bella’s flames.
-The Ice Golem is just a shell. The body is a pearl. Now!
As the golem form disappeared, Sohee followed, running with her sword in hand.
“I kind of had an inkling of it. You’re doing something so obvious…”
At the same time, Bella also wrapped her right claw in flames.
Chaeing!
Claws and swords clash. Bella’s flames and blooming ice fly like sparks, splashing everywhere.
“The blow of conversion has been blocked.”
“No. It went in right. That’s what SS said. If you have dual swords, even if one sword gets blocked, you can attack right away with the other sword…”
Sohee’s staff shines like ice.
“What’s the point of using magic attacks now?”
“It’s not a magic attack. It just amplifies the ice inside.”
“Ice inside?”
Bella’s body gradually freezes.
“Erna’s crystal ball has the ability to make ice transparent. You gradually accumulated it on your body. The ice pieces you shook off were just to hide the transparent ice.”
“What is that…”
Sohee was still lacking in using absolute zero. So she came up with a method to narrow the range.
“Absolute Zero.”
Crackle! Crackle!
“Hey, wait! Why is my flame…”
“Time Freeze, because time in your body is freezing. Soon you will be unable to speak.”
“How did you even do that magic…”
Unlike other ice magic, time was frozen along with the entire body at the same time.
“Wow! Sohee, that magic.”
– I did it. A wizard who perfectly inherited Erna’s time freezing was born.
“Wait… There’s not much time left to maintain this. We have to deal with it quickly. Even if it turns into a monster, its heart location will be the same.”
Phew!
Bella disappeared into ash. At the same time, a spare heart appeared.
“Harin, the communication device. You didn’t break it, did you?”
“Okay. I don’t eat things like that.”
As I turned on the communication device, I heard the bright voices of other students.
-Kim So-hee! Kim Ha-rin! Is there anything wrong? If you do something, we will…
“It’s okay! Sohee finished it off with magic.
-Phew… That’s a relief.
-Seonyoung too. I was worried about you the most. Is it because you’re dealing with an ancient wizard from 500 years ago?
-What are you worried about? It’s just that the plan might go awry.
“Thank you, Seonyeong-ah, the seedling tree.”
-Don’t call me that.
In addition, Seohyun and Chaewon’s radio transmissions can be heard. However, Sohee looks for Ido’s voice because he is the only one that cannot be heard.
“The class president must have fought the human form of the demon. The class president?”
-I guess it’s because it’s just a shell, but there’s nothing special about it.
“thank god…”
-So, is everyone ready? We have to break the spare hearts at the same time on signal.
Kwajik!
As soon as the timing was right and all the spare hearts were destroyed, a notification window arrived for Ido.
[Mashin Deus Phase 2 has begun!]
– Okay. Now let’s go into Masin’s black space.
***
A while ago, the great army entered the Black Space of the Demon God. Everyone looked tense at the strangely shaped monster they had never seen before.
“I said we need to get their attention so they can get to where the spare heart is.”
“That’s right.”
“Da-eun, please.”
Da-eun stood in the lead next to the S-class magicians and summoned Lakeril.
A crystal of darkness and magical science, it succeeded in breaking the magician’s protective shield.
“Ugh! How does the taste of magical science that hasn’t been perfected in centuries taste like?”
“The more I look at it, the more amazing it seems.”
“I’m sorry, Headmaster, and the Chairman of the Demonic Association, but I don’t think this is the time to be impressed.”
As Yesul said, as soon as Masin’s protective shield was broken, attention was focused on them.
As soon as he finished speaking, magic of various attributes flew at them.
“Chaos doesn’t seem to be used.”
“Chaos was a burden even to our SS, so we only used it at the last moment. He will do the same. SS said so too.”
“Yeah. Haha. S-class magicians. It’s time to live up to your titles.”
Kwaaang!!!
The magic that was different from the others collided and disappeared in the air. Thanks to that, my morale rose greatly.
“good!”
“As expected, an S-class wizard is dependable.”
The demon-shaped, void-like demonic spirits scattered around and transformed into a black sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon after, a number of demons equal to the current number of troops poured down.
“You created a black crack in your body and spewed out demonic water. How on earth is that possible? Chairman of the Demonic Association. Can you explain it with magic?”
“If it were possible to explain, I would have used it. Now, gentlemen, raise your staff. Hold on till the end.”
The demons rushed at the wizards who had formed a formation. Each of them fought back with their own magic.
How much time had passed? When the situation was favorable for the wizard formation, the black sky shook violently as if it were collapsing, and the demonic spirit came down to the ground again.
“Ugh…!”
Masin, clutching his heart and kneeling on the ground. The principal chuckled at the sight.
“Haha. It looks like our students were successful.”
“Yeah. And now he said his true form would be revealed. How’s everyone? Can you fight more?”
Seasonal Guild Master Choi Do-hyeon approached and smiled.
“In other places, my daughter and her peers are working hard, and here, the hundred-year-old president of the Demonic Association is working hard. Who would moan? We will fight until the end of Mana.”
At that very moment, a large demon tentacle stretched out from the black sky and attacked the wizards.
“Ugh!”
“Eww!”
“Are you attacking from the sky?”
The wizards turned into mummies, as if their life energy and mana were being sucked out at the same time.
“Everyone, watch out for the sky!”
Even if the S-class magicians along with the dark dragon poured magic into the sky, it wasn’t enough. This was because the tentacles covered in chaos attribute flowed magic as if it were liquid.
“The swordsman will be here soon… Everyone, just a little longer.”
At that very moment, the tentacles of the sky gathered together and transformed into a large black spear.
“I’ve heard of it. The magic of legend… The End… Here. I will use all my magic power to teleport the entire army away.”
“Then the inspiration’s life…”
“If you save everyone with one old man’s life, wouldn’t it be cheap? Don’t worry. The swordsman will come soon. So everyone…”
Swish!!
A large black spear flies through the clouds toward the ground.
Chaeyoung!!!
At that very moment, Kim I-do appeared with a brisk sword strike. The black spear that had made contact with the sword disappeared in an instant.
“It was a close call, Mr. Chairman.”
“Yeah. Phew… That was really close.”
“You’re here. Ours too.”
Not only that, Neri’s singing resonated throughout the black space.
“Archangel Harin. I have returned after completing my mission!”
“Hey. Choi Yu-eun, can you walk?”
“Yeah. It’s okay now.”
“Master, may I help you out a bit?”
“You can help me a lot, not just a little.”
The dark sky cleared. Kim Ido walked forward and found the demon clutching his heart.
“The second one, the one with chaos, has the trap regarding the spare heart been destroyed as well? Khuhuhu. Yes. You are the first one to drive me here. What is your name? This demon will remember you.”
“My name…”
Kwaaang!
Kim Ido leaped forward and thrust out two swords wrapped in chaos.
“This is the swordsman Kim Ido.”
