I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy-Chapter 275: Absolute Evil (4)
Chapter 275: Absolute Evil (4)
-Are you going to use that power?
Black Heaven quietly asked.
I nodded.
I had tested the new power I had gained, the power of the True Dragon.
However, the Absolute Divine Territory could not be activated in the universe.
‘He told me to be careful with it.’
Perhaps it was because he had lived an incredibly long time.
Even though he might seem foolish, these elders who lived for thousands of years knew about the Absolute Divine Territory.
-It’s better to use it with caution.
This was Elder Kim Cheol-soo’s advice.
-Unlike other powers, the Absolute Divine Territory starts with assimilation. If a transcendent being completes their power and achieves transcendence themselves, the Absolute Divine Territory draws strength from the will of the world through assimilation. It uses the power held by the will of the world…
But there’s a risk of being consumed by its consciousness.
‘Well, it’s not like there’s no way to avoid it.’
If things went as I planned, the Absolute Divine Territory might become one of my trump cards.
Ziiing.
As soon as I activated the Absolute Divine Territory, the surroundings blurred. My mind dulled, teetering on the edge of a trance.
The scenery of the world changed.
It felt as if I were seeing through the eyes of some other existence.
My body transformed.
My flesh turned into a spiritual form.
‘Blue, huh.’
My body had become a blue-colored spirit form.
[The will of the world gazes upon you.]
I felt an unfamiliar presence.
It looked at me with benevolent eyes.
The emotion I sensed was concern.
[The Absolute Stat Blue draws mana from its surroundings.]
My awareness expanded.
I felt a sense of ‘assimilation’ with everything around me.
‘This is…’
Not good.
I finally understood why there was a negative mark associated with the Absolute Divine Territory.
Even an ordinary transcendent being might lose their mind when swept up in this power’s current.
[Talent, Black God, stabilizes your consciousness.]
I opened my eyes.
I calmly looked ahead.
Ziiiiing.
The Sword of the Four Seasons trembled.
I instinctively realized that the Absolute Divine Territory resonated well with the Sword of the Four Seasons.
‘…Fixation.’
I activated one of the Four Seasons’ powers.
It stabilized my consciousness. I felt a bit better now.
Then, I quietly raised one hand.
Wooooooom──!
All the mana around me concentrated on the Sword of the Four Seasons. Blue energy enveloped the sword.
The will of the world imbued itself into my sword.
It was infused with a power surpassing that of a transcendent sword aura.
‘What the…’
The inherent strength was remarkable, but even more astonishing was the sword’s length.
50 meters.
Despite the absurdly condensed mana, the blue energy extended to that length. It was as if lightning had been endlessly compressed into a single force.
‘A power that’s purely overwhelming.’
That was why I liked it even more. Like a blank canvas, I felt certain it would change the moment I engraved my imagination onto it.
‘Lightning.’
Crackle!
As I envisioned lightning, it condensed around the Blue Sword. Here, I added one more concept I had been contemplating recently.
‘A sword that cuts through everything.’
I brought the sword down from above.
The talent of the sword guided it. As if it were about to explode, the concentrated power was controlled and swung in a single motion.
Boom!
A storm of corpses moved. Black arms and legs stretched toward my sword as if to block it.
As soon as they touched the blue sword aura, they were completely obliterated.
Then it reached the body of the Vicious Abomination.
Rumbleeeeeee!!
It was as if dozens of thunderclaps had been condensed into one and unleashed, sweeping everything around.
The blue sword aura slashed through the Vicious Abomination’s body.
‘Haah…’
I let out a hollow laugh. Even after taking such an immense blow, all it got were minor wounds.
If it were an ordinary lifeform, a single strike like that would have been fatal, but for a creature of that size, it was akin to a scratch.
‘At least I’ve scorched it to the point where it can’t heal.’
This wasn’t too bad.
Rumbleeeeeee!!
The sound of thunder echoed again.
A fleeting moment, divided into hundreds of parts per second.
Dozens of sword lights left afterimages, drawing crescent-shaped trajectories. The slashes converged toward the scorched areas, forming a singular shape.
It looked like dozens of lightning bolts striking down simultaneously.
As I attempted to move once more, the Vicious Abomination began to respond.
Kuuooooooo!
Mouths started to emerge.
They were wrapped in dense magi, bursting out with suppressed power like an explosion.
-Ugh.
Black Heaven recoiled in disgust.
Worm-like creatures crept toward me.
‘If even one touches me, it will cause infection.’
I calmly observed and analyzed the pattern. Fortunately, the attacks were slow. They were sluggish enough that I could evade them.
Rumble!
I moved the Blue Sword, scorching all the worms.
At the same time, a sound came from underground.
It was the sound of something massive moving.
‘Is it passing by…?’
Boom!
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
A massive corpse erupted from beneath the ground.
Black worms coiled like compressed springs.
I reflexively prepared to swing the Blue Sword but stopped.
Something didn’t feel right.
Woooooom!
It sounded like the buzzing of hundreds of bees vibrating simultaneously.
A tremendous aura of malice enveloped the worms.
‘That’s…’
It was imbued with a power known as Authority.
From what I could predict, it likely carried abilities of guaranteed accuracy and destructive power. It might even have the ability to corrupt the target’s mind.
‘The Authority used by Evil Gods is always troublesome.’
This wasn’t something I could just keep avoiding.
-Master, it carries the Authority of guaranteed accuracy and the power to destroy the opponent’s body.
‘How troublesome.’
-The accuracy isn’t that strong. It’s better to intercept it directly.
I swung the Blue Sword.
The massive worm’s fangs lunged toward me.
The Blue Sword traced the trajectory of a crescent moon and sliced through the worm.
-Did we get it?
As soon as Black Heaven spoke, the worm’s body began to split apart and regenerate again.
‘Seriously, this thing is just…’
Authority of Regeneration.
I furrowed my brow and slashed my hand downward.
The world’s dispersed mana responded to my will. A blue barrier formed in front of me.
Craaaaack!
“Hup!”
I held my breath and retreated.
[The Authority of Spatial Compression from Absolute Divine Territory (Ex-) is activated.]
The mana stormed around me, transporting me to another location.
Spatial displacement. I had moved dozens of kilometers away from where I had been standing.
I immediately turned to look at my previous location.
The blue barrier had completely shattered, and there were traces of spatial contamination.
I let out a hollow laugh.
‘It has excellent defense and regeneration, moves slowly, but if it lands a hit, it’s devastating.’
This was disadvantageous in many ways.
No, it’s more likely that this was what fighting Evil Gods would always be like.
I could feel intense hatred. Along with it came a murderous intent.
I looked at the Vicious Abomination. Its will to kill me, even if it meant its own death, was incredibly strong.
‘Well, I’ve tested it enough.’
I didn’t believe I’d make mistakes.
Having reached this level, I was always in optimal condition.
There were occasional days like this. Days when everything went smoothly, no matter what.
Days when, even in a tilted game, it felt like I could single-handedly turn the tide. Days when I wouldn’t allow even a single mistake.
I was always maintaining that kind of condition.
However, that thing must be killed as quickly as possible. Right now, it was just a massive abyss-like pit scorching everything around it with its breath.
If it ever leaked into a city, an unimaginable catastrophe would occur.
Breathing slowly, I calmly observed my inner self.
It was time to begin the main event.
-Master?
‘Just a moment.’
I summoned the world of my imagination.
Drip.
Black began to encroach upon my surroundings. Like black ink spreading across a white canvas, it gradually expanded outward.
The speed was overwhelming.
So much so that even the Vicious Abomination didn’t consider evasion. From the beginning, it had no intention of escaping.
Its highest priority was taking my life over its own.
‘Such a nuisance.’
Eventually, the black swallowed everything.
My imagination was no longer my own.
For some reason, Destruction and Destruction of Heaven were present there.
‘Now I know why.’
The Black God that resided in my body.
It had devoured Destruction and Destruction of Heaven, embedding itself within me, and its essence had reflected onto my imagination.
The same applied to the Black Sun.
I had thought I summoned the Black Sun after devouring the commander of the Nazi forces.
‘That wasn’t it.’
It was merely a remnant of the Black Sun’s power that the Black God had consumed and left behind.
Thus, my imagined world had changed.
-How ominous.
Black Heaven’s words were fitting. My imagined world was foreboding.
Waves surged, and the black sky engulfed everything. A pitch-black world devoid of existence.
Completely black.
A world filled with nothing but darkness. No other colors allowed, just an eerie, inky-black space.
[The Absolute Stat Black forms the spiritual body of the Absolute Divine Territory.]
My body, which had turned blue, now transformed into black.
It felt as though I could sense the essence of blackness itself.
I closed my eyes in silence.
In this world, I could feel everything, as if here, I was an omnipotent god.
‘No, perhaps I truly am a god.’
Here, I was omniscient and omnipotent. Projecting the world of my imagination meant as much.
I quietly opened my eyes and looked at my opponent.
The Vicious Abomination was curling up its body.
As if sensing that this place was dangerous.
Ziiiing─
Waves formed near the Vicious Abomination’s body. It, too, must be creating and establishing its own domain.
Most battles with Evil Gods began this way.
By unleashing their imaginations, encroaching upon each other, destroying, and consuming.
Even if their physical forms were destroyed, they would regenerate.
Thus, breaking each other’s imaginations was the only way to decisively end their lives.
Gurgle.
The Vicious Abomination regurgitated a mountain of corpses. Blackened with a tinge of violet, they surrounded the area as if claiming it as its own.
I raised Black Heaven.
In this space, the spiritual body of the Absolute Divine Territory felt better suited for the Black Heaven Sword.
‘Dark Blue Sword.’
Black began to gather in Black Heaven.
A black radiance emerged as though it would swallow everything like a black hole. The black sword, capable of consuming even light, was etched with faint blue lines.
‘It has absorbed the properties of blue.’
The Dark Sword.
The Dark Sword grew larger. Power condensed. A force that denied, separated, consumed, and embodied essence merged into a singular color.
-Master, this… this is?
‘…….’
Even I didn’t know what this power was.
It was simply the power of the sword.
A power that would turn the opponent’s soul and body into blackness, making it part of my own. That power silently revealed itself.
My hands trembled.
My body warned me as if it were in danger.
“And this isn’t even at full power.”
I let out a hollow laugh.
But I had no intention of wielding it at full power. This sword was too dangerous.
And yet, I felt satisfied.
The foes I would face in the future would only grow stronger than the current Vicious Abomination.
I swung the Dark Blue Sword.
Swoooosh──
The blade cut through the air, clashing with the Vicious Abomination’s body. Black energy seeped into its flesh.
As if contaminating it.
At the same time, I felt something entering me—a foreign power.
