The Great Ancient Wizard, The Last Creation (1)
“God!”
“…Who are you?”
In the morning, a beautiful black-haired beauty greeted Evan with a bright smile as he woke up in his house in the Necklace World to escape Mirole’s attack.
“Huh!? Have you lost your memory of me? …!?”
The beauty’s transparent sky-blue eyes quickly clouded. Evan sighed back at the sight of the woman who was about to cry.
“Sorry, I was kidding, Sharay. It’s just that I was a little shocked and wanted to deny reality.”
No matter how much she grew, Evan could still recognize her because her features remained the same. However, it seemed necessary to study why Sharay, a girl in her mid-teens until yesterday, became an adult in one day. If Evan had seen his little sister or Eir, he would realize that there were quite a few cases in the world, but he had yet to complete his reunion, whether it was unfortunate or fortunate.
“Hmmm…maybe it was the power of the phoenix feathers sprinkled in the hot springs?”
Maybell walked out from behind Evan, yawned, and deduced it right away. Sharay gritted her teeth, momentarily but surely, at the sight of Maybell in a very rough outfit.
“A frivolous figure in the presence of God…!”
“Oh, I’m so happy to have these jealous kids.”
“Don’t enjoy it.”
Evan sighed, lightly pushing Maybell, who was approaching to create a more provocative scene. He accepted enough silliness yesterday.
“But perhaps, the phoenix feather…it’s a feather symbolizing infinite vitality. I put it in so that it doesn’t put pressure on the bodies of children who suddenly went up more than 100 levels.”
However, to get rid of the burden on their body, Evan couldn’t believe they had grown much bigger. In a sense, it may be the answer, but it was far too shocking. No, what was shocking was the existence of phoenix feathers. Since it was one of Elixir’s core and first materials, Evan’s mindset, which allowed him to invest it casually in hot springs, was unconventional.
“Magic is amplified by the growth of the body. Compared to when we just finished leveling up yesterday, we have a lot more magic now.”
“Yes, you guys aren’t the strongest witches I’ve ever seen, but…but you’re getting close.”
It was a fantastic thing because the strongest witch Evan knows was Belois, a rookie raised with all his heart and soul. Although there was a penalty of a slight improvement in the level of existence, the growth of the status and the rise of the dungeon level was close to doubling her magic.
“Is this the first witch buff?”
“It could be the phoenix feather buff. The level-up environment was perfect. And the Master led them himself.”
They were hunting dragons, and they were immersed overnight in the hot springs that best supported their growth. Belois also said she walked the Royal Road under Evan’s guidance, but Sharay completed an experience that even she had never experienced. It wouldn’t have been an exaggeration to say that the team had the maximum effect achieved with the same level up.
“It’s not a joke; it’ll help when we battle the Devil…”
“We must be helpful!”
Sharay, who could only notice that he was surprised by her growth, nodded with a determination to fulfill Evan’s plan.
“Oh, god Oppa! I’ve grown, too. Ta-da!”
“…Mr. Zero.”
Behind Sharay, Arpa and Naz also appeared to have grown. The two now looked like Redine and Belois, and Evan found it quite challenging to talk to them.
“…At least, you’re the most comfortable to be around.”
“Oh, my.”
However, Sharay blushed at Evan’s words. “I am ready to give my body at any time! Don’t touch my younger siblings; be satisfied with me…!”
“Oh, that’s enough.”
“Oh, do I still have to grow!?”
“Who are you trying to demonize?”
Evan now felt fed up and pushed Sharay away, and Arpa suddenly shouted.
“God Oppa, yesterday we watched dragon magic all day long and reviewed it in a hot spring. So, I think it’s possible now.”
“What?”
“Sacrifice magic.”
Even after hearing the word sacrifice magic, he couldn’t tell precisely what type of magic it was. But when Arpa created a small magic circle on her hand, only then did Evan realize what sacrifice magic meant.
“Ah, the curse of Imma Beato I told you about.”
“Yes, it wasn’t immaculate. If you expand the concept of a subject that doubles the predicate and puts constraints on it, you will see a much greater effect.”
“Ah, yes… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“God Oppa, it’s strange that God doesn’t know such a simple story when he’s using a magic that reverses all the concepts.”
“God’s logic is beyond our reach. How dare we fully understand his will?”
“Then I’ll make it a little simpler, god Oppa.”
Arpa explained with an endless smile resembling Redine.
“If we set a restriction limited to ‘fighting the Devil’ in ‘some particular place,’ in return, we’ll be able to exert more than twice as much power.”
“That’s easy to understand.”
There were a lot of kids with that ability in famous cartoons that had a prolonged cycle. With Evan’s nod of understanding, they also smiled and continued.
“But we can’t give a significant blow to the Devil, who has more than twice our power. So additional restrictions will be needed. I’m going to study it with Sharay from now on.”
“So, god Oppa,” Arpa pointed to Evan with her finger. Sharay angrily grabbed her finger and twisted it.
“Ouch…so I want Oppa to meet the conditions so that we can exert our utmost strength. So that we can make sure to repay him properly.”
“It’s not rocket science.”
Evan nodded happily. His specialty was to set up the battlefield in advance. Especially if it was a place to fight the Devil, he had to control himself somehow.
“If it doesn’t work out, I’ll bring the Devil here myself, so don’t worry.”
“If that’s possible, why don’t you just beat the Devil on your own?”
“Catching him doesn’t mean the game is over.”
Evan thought she had made a good statement, but unfortunately, the witches had never played a fighting game. So, they didn’t understand what he meant.
“The battle is just around the corner. So please.”
“Leave it to me. To god Oppa, who has provided us with such a good home…haa!”
Sharay, who was answering Evan’s words with sparkling eyes, exclaimed as if she had suddenly thought of something. Then, she grabbed Arpa’s hand and ran, looking back and shouting.
“I have an idea, so please excuse us!”
“Ahhh, Sharay!?”
The witches were all grown up, sure, but they still had their childish behavior. Evan sighed silently at the back of the girls and looked at Naz, who was left there. Naz also stared at Evan. He avoided her gaze because he thought she looked too much like Belois.
“Are your sisters always leaving you out?”
“No, they don’t.”
Naz spoke in a slow but firm tone as though she were thinking of something.
“Unfortunately, I’m not good at magic like them.”
“But it’s okay. You’re good enough right now.”
“Yes, and there’s something I can do.”
Naz’s gaze stayed on Evan’s gloves for a moment. Perhaps she had seen Zera’s rune stuck in his glove.
“I’m going to focus on researching it…it’s …”
“It would be nice to talk to the Gods on earth later.”
“Yes…I’m trying to figure out how to set up a passage.”
“The passage of the Gods is already secured.”
“Not that passage.”
Naz shook her head weakly.
“We can only borrow the power of the Gods. I want to find a passage where we can borrow their powers as we please.”
“That idea is quite like a witch.”
“Yes, you’ve helped us settle on the ground, so we’ve got to take responsibility.”
Wasn’t it a thought that reminded one of an adult witch receiving a rune? As Evan giggled, Naz also smiled softly.
“It’s the first time you’ve looked at me.”
“…Huh?”
“So far… You saw someone else through me. That’s why you avoided me even more.”
“Uh…”
The ability to penetrate people’s minds like Belois was no joke! No, it was such a sharp remark that Evan thought her intuition might have grown at once as her level went up!
“Arpa realizes it, too.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s just a little…it’s sad. Zero is our savior…but we can’t do anything for you.”
That means Evan should be more sorry, right?
“And knowing that…Sharay is the only one who’s flattered.”
“That’s very clear.”
“Just because there’s no hope for me doesn’t mean that there is hope for Sharay.”
“That’s so mean!”
“I feel refreshed.”
Naz, who was backstabbing Sharay, questioned him with a rare smile.
“May I ask you one last question? Was the person who looked like me precious to you, Zero?”
“Of course.”
Evan nodded firmly as not to be misunderstood.
“She’s the most precious person.”
“I am satisfied with that answer. That’s enough.”
Perhaps feeling Evan’s sincerity, Naz bowed to him with a slight smile and turned without hesitation to leave. His mind was full of thoughts to strengthen his power ahead of the battle with the Devil, but those girls also had their own deep thoughts.
“No, it’s too obvious.”
“Because you’re so busy dealing with everything. Maybe they felt profound like they were part of it.”
Maybell, who was just listening from behind, shook her head and intervened. He pulled her cheek with a ridiculous expression.
“I don’t want to hear it from you. I’m always spending the rest of my spare time on you.”
“Oh, you’re barely holding on, thanks to me.”
Maybell clung to Evan’s back, saying so mischievously. Her rough clothes kept the soft and warm feeling of her chest intact. Evan could see clearly that she was seducing him right now.
“I’m getting all the longing for other people. Did you think I didn’t know?”
“No, I knew it, but…I couldn’t say it because I was sorry.”
“Yeah, so you need to be gentle with me.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Then please express your gratitude in a more definite way. Specifically, from now on, the second round…”
“No.”
Evan responded by firmly pushing Maybell, who had been blatantly seducing him.
“I have to go and check on the Dragon by-products.”
“Phew, I guess it’s not enough for you to make a field stained with dragon blood.”
“Let’s go, then. Let’s see the World Tree level up.”
“I honestly think the World Tree is a bit suspicious.”
“No, please.”
“I’m suspicious of the Devil, too. No, maybe this world is about you…”
“Sorry, I can’t handle it if you start talking about things like that.”
The two came out of Necklace World jokingly. They were then greeted by a Mother Forest full of violet flowers.
