Novel Will Be Taken Down on 17 May or Earlier Chapter 80 - Dignity of the Chief (4)

Marcelo raised his mana.

 

“I and Senior Banglet will assist you.”

 

Thanks to our conversation about the Qirnberg Machine Tower.

 

Marcelo knew I was a demon hunter.

 

Since a demon came out.

 

This was where my major was acknowledged.

 

It was a relief for me.

 

Marcelo, Banglet, if they tried to go all out with all their might.

 

‘Then wouldn’t the unexpected profit evaporate like the dust from before?’

 

Crash–!

 

The demon’s hand that appeared tried to tear the space apart.

 

Except for the fact that it was big, I still couldn’t figure out what it was.

 

But its strength was palpable.

 

‘Of course, it’s stronger than the demon king.’

 

This was a trap.

 

A trap for Banglet, a senior mage of the Mage Tower.

 

Banglet seemed to be aware of that fact.

 

His mana was clearly fluctuating.

 

“Why is the elder mage.…?”

 

Banglet must be thinking.

 

If he had been alone.

 

What would have become of him by now?

 

I, an expert, could answer for him.

 

‘He would have been killed or possessed and taken away from his body.’

 

The reason why Banglet’s judgment was clouded by the elder mage’s words.

 

It was certain.

 

Status abnormality.

 

Could he deal with a demon like that while suffering from a status abnormality?

 

Even if this was Banglet we were talking about, it wouldn’t have been easy.

 

But as you could see, Banglet was not alone.

 

“I won’t allow further access. You inferior demon.”

 

Even if I fell into the water, this mouth would still rise.

 

“Banglet, this is no time for such thoughts.”

 

And Marcelo, the chief mage, was here.

 

I also raised my mana.

 

Then I said brazenly.

 

“Banglet Tom.”

 

“I’m listening.”

 

“Let’s replace your reason submission with this battle.”

 

“R-Reason submission.…?”

 

“The regular conference was suspended right before your presentation. Whether the pure magic you studied is worthy enough to resume the conference. Prove it before me, the host of this regular conference.”

 

“…!”

 

Yeah, if the pride was unavoidable.

 

I had to use it like this……!

 

What I was aiming for was simple.

 

‘Just like before, I will interfere with Banglet’s magic.’

 

Now that [Natural Enemy Relationship] had been activated.

 

I had no shortage of mana.

 

But everything was relative.

 

Because I had men of monstrous magic power by my side.

 

Furthermore, I had watched these monsters exchange magic.

 

‘They weren’t even going all out.’

 

Their magic hadn’t contained the intention of murder.

 

So no matter how big the experience point this demon had.

 

If I got distracted, I would get nothing…!

 

In the end, I had no choice but to be pathetic again this time.

 

Of course, there was no way such inner thoughts were shown on the outside.

 

“It’s the first time Sir Hoyeol hosts a conference, but Sir Hoyeol is better at it than me.”

 

To think I brought up the talk of the conference even in this situation.

 

Leaving aside the absence of blood and tears.

 

How bad-tempered I must have looked?

 

However, I was prepared to become even crazier than that.

 

But.

 

“…Thank you. I’ll prove it for sure.”

 

Banglet’s response was unexpected.

 

I didn’t know why.

 

But it was good news for me.

 

After saying that, Banglet manifested his magic.

 

Gooo–!

 

Yes, this time, it was magic with murderous intent.

 

Craaashh–!

 

If we set up magic with only destructive power.

 

Magic of pure mana would be one of the best.

 

The moment when interference with maximized destructive power was added to the vast amount of mana.

 

A ray of mana with formidable pressure stretched toward the hand.

 

At that moment.

 

Crash–!

 

The hand ripped off a large piece.

 

It held the piece up like a shield.

 

I could feel it in my head.

 

‘Putting aside the power.’

 

Technically, it was a fragment of the rupture.

 

In other words, it was a piece of [『oddity』].

 

It was a shield of two completely different concepts.

 

In a way, it could be said to be the purest [magic],

 

Pure magic wouldn’t be able to pierce that strange shield.

 

Sure enough, my prediction was right.

 

Woosh–

 

The piece of the rupture collided with the mana ray.

 

The mana ray scattered and the mana fluttered in all directions.

 

But so, what about it?

 

“Where did your initial momentum go? You little demon.”

 

I was aiming for this situation in the first place.

 

“Do you think hiding behind a shield really means something?”

 

Exactly right after Banglet’s magic.

 

At the vast amount of magic that fluttered.

 

I didn’t hesitate.

 

“What a fool.”

 

I explored the mana that fluttered straight away.

 

I interfered using the most familiar process.

 

I manifested it.

 

Then hundreds. No, thousands of lights, appeared.

 

Banglet stammered.

 

“…In that instant?”

 

I wonder if he was surprised because I was just reusing basic magic.

 

I didn’t know the reason for his surprise, but.

 

Banglet’s reaction didn’t matter.

 

Float–

 

The basic magic of pure mana.

 

Pure sphere, light.

 

The mana sphere could be manifested in any kind of magic.

 

Of course, the amount of mana consumed by the interference process was beyond imagination.

 

That’s why pure mana focused on relatively simple interference, which maximized only destructive power.

 

However.

 

‘Not for me.’

 

That’s right, I didn’t just have 『magic』.

 

Because I didn’t dig just one well.

 

I had a stat I could use.

 

[Aesthetic: Low]

 

[Add aesthetic flair to everything]

 

A shortcut, macro, and copy-paste trick.

 

It was more troublesome not to use it.

 

Just by pressing a button.

 

The output of the [aesthetic] stat multiplied several times and dozens of times.

 

『Magic』and [Skill].

 

This, too, was a fusion of two completely different concepts.

 

In other words, this was also [『odd』].

 

But even if the process became very efficient.

 

The target of interference was thousands of mana spheres of light.

 

Seriously.

 

I could feel my magic draining in real-time.

 

At this rate, I couldn’t get out…

 

Isn’t this leaking like a bottomless pit?

 

“It’s no use rolling your head behind the shield.”

 

Of course, I couldn’t express it.

 

From the neck to the spine.

 

A firm posture.

 

I continued in a steady voice.

 

“It is also my authority to decide the hunting method.”

 

Hunting was a kind of magic.

 

Sure enough.

 

I activated the effect of the aesthetic stat.

 

Each of the thousands of lights manifested a different magic.

 

What magic would be effective for that guy?

 

When I thought about it, it would be more efficient to just hit him with all the magic that I had and didn’t have. Indeed, that manifestation was just like me, extremely ignorant.

 

Perhaps because I added aesthetic flair.

 

“As expected…!”

 

What unfolded was a spectacular sight that even Marcelo admired.

 

Flames, water, ice, lightning, wind…

 

Various attributes.

 

A sight where all kinds of magic were mixed.

 

Some of them were in the form of sharp weapons.

 

There was also the form of soldiers who picked up those weapons.

 

There was also the form of horses carrying those soldiers.

 

I gave it a review.

 

“Still immature.”

 

The reason I said that was simple.

 

[Aesthetic: Low]

 

The aesthetic stat was still at ‘low’.

 

Even now, it looked like a fancy painting.

 

If it improved to medium or high in the future.

 

What kind of magic would I be able to use?

 

“H-How can you say that’s immature! Which part?!”

 

Not knowing the truth, Banglet said, almost screaming.

 

Since he didn’t know anything about aesthetic stats.

 

It might seem like great magic.

 

First of all, since it was so fancy, I had something to show.

 

Charge–

 

Soon, thousands of magic flooded in.

 

As expected, it was the aesthetic flair that shone.

 

It was like a living army.

 

Turning around with the rupture piece lifted by the hand.

 

I started to damage it.

 

[Exorcism] had been activated since a while ago.

 

What did the magic with aesthetics look like to it?

 

I didn’t know, but I could guarantee one thing.

 

More than what Banglet was seeing.

 

It must have looked much more riotous.

 

Soon, a message came up in front of me.

 

[‘Cut’ occurs to ??]

 

*

Envy of Seven Deadly Sins cried out.

 

“Damn iiiit!”

 

It hurt.

 

It hurt.

 

It hurt.

 

“My arm!!”

 

The severed arm didn’t grow back.

 

What it meant was simple.

 

It meant that the guy who took this arm was a demon hunter.

 

When he realized that fact, he began to understand.

 

“That’s how it happeneeeed!”

 

Greed of Seven Deadly Sins.

 

Demon King Decarabia.

 

He finally realized why their existence plunged into hell.

 

Yeah, they got beaten by that guy.

 

The arrogant guy who just took his arm away!!

 

That guy was a demon hunter.

 

He realized it the moment they met.

 

He got invited to the ritual.

 

How dare that guy, toward Seven Deadly Sins and great evil…?

 

In the first place, what he was aiming for was the body of the mage.

 

He thought having a demon hunter there wouldn’t be that bad.

 

More than that, he thought it would be fun.

 

The holy war.

 

The look on the faces of the demon hunters at that time was really good to see.

 

But it was weird.

 

From the moment that man summoned him, the great evil, into his consciousness.

 

That man’s mental strength shouldn’t have been intact.

 

“You inferior demon.”

 

Why.

 

The man was fine.

 

Was he struggling to resist?

 

No, it didn’t feel like that.

 

“Where did your initial momentum go? You little demon.”

 

“Do you think hiding behind a shield really means something?”

 

“What a fool.”

 

…How is this possible?

 

The man’s mental strength wasn’t shaken at all.

 

Not only that, the man was approaching him.

 

Rather, the man holding up to hunt him, a great evil and one of the Seven Deadly Sins!

 

…It was dangerous.

 

No, this body felt that it was dangerous?

 

Yes, this was the fear of the natural enemy.

 

It even awakened the feeling that he had forgotten as a great evil.

 

Envy thought coldly.

 

Yeah, this was an unexpected accident.

 

This kind of feeling?

 

Demon hunter?

 

He was a great evil, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

 

If only the mages weren’t around…!

 

The moment he clenched his teeth.

 

“It is also my authority to decide the hunting method.”

 

A chilling voice.

 

At the same time, he saw something over the gap.

 

It was an army floating in the air.

 

“!”

 

Where did they come from?

 

It was an enormous army whose number of members couldn’t be counted.

 

It seemed to be thousands, or tens of thousands.

 

Soon, the army began to rush toward him.

 

Woosh–

 

Did his senses get broken because of the fear?

 

Hot heat.

 

Cold chill.

 

Tingling electricity.

 

He began to feel all sorts of energy.

 

His broken senses constantly warned him.

 

He had to avoid it.

 

But the rush was too swift to be avoided.

 

Like the magic of the mages.

 

“Aarrrrgh!”

 

Army, magic, or whatever it was, it clashed.

 

The result was now.

 

He was running away with one arm missing.

 

“Damn it! Why?”

 

What the hell was that human?

 

“Even if he’s just a human!”

 

How.

 

That kind of mental strength.

 

Such colleagues.

 

How could he show such an attitude?

 

Envy began to stir.

 

No, it wasn’t just that.

 

When he thought about it, he recalled something.

 

“…Don’t tell me?”

 

The situation in the Arcana continent, which had recently begun to change.

 

The main culprit was the decisive weapon of the demon hunters.

 

At first, he thought it was simply because of the dwarves.

 

Akshan base had been destroyed.

 

Now that the demon hunters were wiped out.

 

The only one that could activate that decisive weapon.

 

It could only be the dwarves who were the producers.

 

Rather, he thought it was a good thing.

 

The fact they had activated that decisive weapon.

 

It meant that the dwarves had jumped out to the continent from their hiding places.

 

If he followed the trail, he’d find their hiding place.

 

But contrary to expectations.

 

There was no trace of the dwarves.

 

In such a situation.

 

He encountered a demon hunter.

 

What it meant was simple.

 

“That was his doing, too?!”

 

Envy raged.

 

“How dare you, humaaan!”

 

That meant the man had been in and out of the dimension.

 

Freely enough to activate the decisive battle weapon.

 

Not even him could do that.

 

No, not even any great evils could.

 

It was impossible for anyone to interfere in such a different dimension.

 

“…!”

 

As soon as he realized that, his spine cooled down.

 

The feeling that he had forgotten for a moment because he got caught up in jealousy.

 

Fear awoke again.

 

“Is he at a higher level than me?”

 

He couldn’t admit it.

 

If he admitted it…

 

Everything fit.

 

The gaze of the man who seemed to be looking down on him all the time.

 

A battle with the man whose senses were too much to follow.

 

The journey of the man who jumped over the dimension.

 

Lastly.

 

The warning that was directed at him who was running away.

 

“Demon who lost his right arm. I’ll remember that fact.”

 

That man was a demon hunter.

 

The right arm lost to that man could never be regenerated.

 

If they ran into each other again.

 

The guy would definitely recognize him as a one-armed person.

 

And then…?

 

“I, this body, will go to hell?”

 

Was his existence itself disappearing like Greed?

 

Thinking so, the fear didn’t go away easily.

 

He came to understand his position.

 

“…This wound is enough for me.”

 

Yes, let’s be content with the Arcana continent.

 

Let’s not even think about going in and out of another dimension again.

 

At least as long as that demon hunter’s eyes were wide open…!!

[Cracked Dimension Gap]

 

[Recommended level: Lv.900]

 

[Rupture collapse: 51.2%]

 

The rupture collapse suddenly escalated.

 

Meanwhile, the recommended level also changed.

 

[Recommended level: Lv.900~Lv.1000]

 

The recommended level, a whopping thousand.

 

The players each shouted.

 

“I can’t even joke about this. Hyungnims!”

 

“What’s going on? What the hell is going on inside…!”

 

“…Lee Hoyeol, he should be fine, right?”

 

Chief Mage Marcelo of Mage Tower and Hoyeol.

 

It had been hours since those two entered the rupture.

 

Nevertheless, not only the collapse rate of the rupture soared.

 

The recommended level of the rupture also rose.

 

It was natural to be concerned.

 

But as always.

 

The worry didn’t last long.

 

Figures shimmering in the rupture.

 

An echoing sound.

 

Tap tap–

 

Hoyeol showed up.

 

Not only without a scratch but also without a grain of dust.

 

It was only natural that the attention was focused on Hoyeol.

 

“!!!”

 

But as always.

 

Hoyeol declared coldly.

 

“I won’t take questions.”

 

The reasons were as concise as they could be.

 

“It’s an internal matter.”
