The Great Ancient Wizard, the Decisive Battle (3)
The magic circle over Evan’s hand was ferociously rotating. His unique armor strengthened everything he dealt with. Like the Second Demon, Imma Beato did…no, instead, he was strengthening his magic circle with unparalleled efficiency.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Liz Unnie…Liz Unnie…!”
“Calm down, baby. That guy will do something!”
“Don’t start pressuring the Master like that!”
“Everyone, calm down, the Devil is showing up…!”
The magic he had first created was a calculation technique in itself. A high degree of art to calculate how many divisions should be made to seal the great enemy in front of him and divide it to save his sister safely. He was laughing out loud because he couldn’t believe he was dealing with magic. From the beginning of the situation to the present…
[The Devil is coming down!]
[Did the explosion stop?]
[You’re not going to tell the Demon King…you’re not!?]
[There is mixed energy with the Spirit Realm, but that’s the Devil! You can’t even recognize the being who made us?]
[But all Ten Demons are dead!]
[Why do the Ten Demons matter when the Devil himself is coming!]
The question of why he remembered his past life continued. How come it was Evan D. Sherden and no one else in this vast world? He who was just a comic extra from Yo-Ma Great War 3? But it turned out to be simple.
[No way, that’s a lot of energy…]
[I can’t stand it. That’s too much!]
[But what about the faith of humans?]
[You have to give up. It would be faster to find faith in the next world.]
[The world after this.]
[It’s going to be a long journey.]
Why did the crew put so much effort into Evan’s life and death when he wasn’t the main character and had no particular role within the game? It was all because the memories contained in his fragments that flowed from this world were reflected. So, it was inevitable that he recognized his past life. Since his memory went there first, if it flowed from Earth, it would be natural for it to come to Evan as well.
“Our God…”
“Zero, please stop that disaster.”
“King of the chosen world.”
“Please…”
“The Mother Tree is watching us. To protect this land, she is lending us her strength…!”
“Trust him and stand tall. We, forest fairies, will never back down!”
Of course, it was also confirmed that there was a contradiction that couldn’t explain the forward and backward relationship. Without Evan flying into the past, it would have been impossible for him to spread several fragments of his memory, existence, and ability. If that were the case, the Yo-Ma Great War series wouldn’t have been born on Earth in the first place. Then Evan wouldn’t be aware of his past life; it was normal if he didn’t fly into the past.
“But since it happened, there’s nothing we can do.”
Evan sighed, recalling the days he struggled to avoid the Time Paradox…he took a rest and coughed.
‘No, come to think of it, I think I’ve been on my own all this time.’
‘I don’t have to think too deeply.’
‘The important thing is to recognize that I am at the heart of all this.’
‘Unscramble the twisted thread by itself.’
“What do you mean by split compression, god?”
Sharay’s voice was heard. Then, he decided to drive out all his anguish and focus only on what he had to do now. Yeah, come to think of it, he was still talking to her.
“Well, I’d say it’s a split seal.”
Evan smiled and told the witches as he looked back and found most of the men on the battlefield receded from the influence of the spirit.
“It’s impossible to seal a body that big, anyway, right?”
“It’s hard to fight that, too. It’s hard to create a subspace only for combat…!”
That was right. To tell one the truth, even without Elizabeth, it was impossible to fight the Devil as it was. It wasn’t because Evan lacked strength, but rather it was a problem because he was too strong. The power possessed by the Devil was so enormous that the mere presence of the Devil in this world now put a terrible burden on it. If Evan hadn’t leveled up the World Tree, or if the World Tree hadn’t grown enough in time to support the world, the world would have begun to collapse at this point.
But what if Evan, who had the power to destroy such a spirit, collided with it head-on? Regardless of who won as a result…the world would still be devastated beyond repair.
“So we’re going to split them up and seal them. I’ll split it out, and you get it and seal it.”
“It sounds like a complicated magic method, but it sounds like an amazing manufacturing process when you talk about it.”
“It’s a difficult and demanding process.”
If he hadn’t acquired the wizard’s ability by absorbing the fragment, Evan would have thought of physically cutting and sealing its body…so, it was just a question of the body of the Devil. Of course, Elizabeth wouldn’t be saved, and the world would be ruined.
“Are you building the magic of the split seal? I think it’s going to be very hard…but if I give my life!”
“Don’t offer your life.”
When Evan spoke clearly, Sharay smiled with a troubled look on her face. She didn’t understand what a split seal was yet. Arpa also carefully grabbed Evan’s collar, looking up at the slowly forming pillar of the Dark Magic.
“That’s amazing, Oppa. It’s safe to say that’s the center of the Spirit Realm now.”
“How the hell are you going to stop that…?”
The possibility of leading other dimensions, the Devil was combining that magic with himself. So, if Evan could seal that as intended, he could probably prevent this crack from opening for the time being…so, until modern-day Evan grew up with strength.
[All the flow is heading to this moment.]
Then he heard the voice of the Devil again. It was a magnificent voice that resonated throughout the vast battlefield. At the same time, it sounded like a whisper in Evan’s ear.
[And it’s you who’s been leading the flow. You did it according to my will.]
The cold beauty of the spirit penetrated Evan’s heart, spreading throughout his body. The columns of the Dark Magic were being compressed into concrete forms. A giant with black skin appeared in it, the beautiful goddess of beauty that he has seen before. It was the very statue Evan had broken in the dungeon.
Now the face looked a little like his sister. She was hundreds of meters tall, and the gap between the two legs was large enough to accommodate a vast temple. More extensive than a dragon, with magic that far surpassed one. The Devil had the power to pull everyone’s eyes into this space.
[You are not my alter ego, but you are closer to me than anyone else. Your Dark Magic proves it, and so, you and I face each other like this.]
“Vain blabber.”
Evan gave a glance at the boots he was wearing and looked up again. So, you want to say that these boots induced Evan’s actions? There was a degree of nonsense. He didn’t even know the Devil Runes on those boots.
[What a challenging spirit. Not like your sister.]
However, Evan couldn’t help but frown at the following words.
[The girl was instinctively drawn to me. Why was the child able to cross time and space? How could she show up in front of me now? Because it’s the result of your sister’s instinct.]
[She was building up my energy in her body. No matter what the gods do, those who will eventually be attracted to me will arrive.]
“…”
Is he saying that, in the process of clearing the Sherden Dungeon, Elizabeth was influenced by the Devil, came to the shrine, swept the Demon Realm, and eventually was absorbed by the Devil? If he said that to provoke Evan, it was a great success. But if it were to sabotage what Evan was about to do, the Devil just made the worst choice.
[Oh, Devil!]
[Was the descent a success?]
[Beautiful, my Devil…!]
Meanwhile, the Demon Tribes fell to the ground in unison when they saw the Devil appear. It was honestly funny to see them lying down from afar because they were afraid to get close, but they couldn’t run away. But the first thing the Devil did when he saw the demons and the people who devoted themselves to the land…
[It’s a bunch of junk. But there’s a lot of other energy, so you guys should use it to balance it.]
It was the absorption of the demons.
[Devil…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
[The Devil wants us!]
[If he wants me, I’ll be happy to give my soul…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
Wailing but willing to accept the touch of death. He could feel Maybell and Rose, who were by his side, wince together. Maybe there was a magical exchange that was inevitable because they were Demons.
[Oh my.]
[This world is over. I can’t save it].
[Humans, I’m sorry…]
[Run!]
The gods were all freaked out at the sight and attempted to run. Leo and Aria, who tried to stop the gods because they were worried that they would try to kill the Devil recklessly, were almost overshadowed. Of course, others didn’t run away, but their only ability was to carry out a determination to protect those on this battlefield.
“Attack!”
“God will protect us!”
“Turn that giant down!”
But only the coalition in the midst of this was attacking the revealed body. Of course, their attacks would leave no scratch on the skin of the Devil, but Evan didn’t stop them.
“The skill experience is going up a lot.”
“Master!”
“It’s okay. Whether the Allies attack or not, it won’t change the Devil’s response.”
There was no way that the Devil would be interested in those who couldn’t even reach him. Evan’s idea was reasonable, so the Devil simply ignored the arrows, spears, and magic that flew at him and looked down at Evan.
[Now it’s your turn to come to me.]
[You are worried about your sister, I’ll let you be one soon.]
The magic’s huge hand slowly stretched out to Evan. He faced it and raised his hand, and suddenly there was someone next to him clinging to his arm.
“No, Evan! You’ll get sucked in like Liz!
“Eir.”
Eir, who held the blood of the Demon Tribe, would have been absorbed by the Devil if it weren’t for Elizabeth. Perhaps because she saw Elizabeth being absorbed and disappear in front of her eyes, Eir was trying to pull Evan back with a face that was about to burst into tears. But Evan comforted her kindly.
“Don’t worry, Eir. I’m not going to disappear.”
“What about Liz?”
“Of course, I’ll save Liz. Trust me.”
“…Okay!”
As the heir to the blood of a Demon Tribe, she felt the power of the Devil more accurately than anyone else, but she let go of his arm with a slightly relieved look at Evan’s assurances. Just in time, the calculation of the trick was completed.
“Sharay and Arpa are on standby. Just be prepared to use the sealing spell.”
“Yes!”
Evan reinvigorated his unique armor. Intense energy derived from the power of Annihilation swept the blessings of his boots and spirits; boots made by the Devil, containing the energy of the Devil.
“Whoa…”
[…!?]
However, the moment Evan chose it as his armor, the moment he was covered with his blood and brought it back into his arms…
It brought about a change that had never happened before, dramatically boosting all Evan’s abilities.
“I quit thinking about the name of my armor because it was childish.”
The armor that Evan stretched out touched the Devil’s arm. At that moment, the evil spell that was constantly spewing out of the Devil broke off.
“We’d better call it Evolution.”
[Oh!?]
With those words, he threw his magic to the fullest. The giant that was hundreds of meters tall was swung by a man less than two meters tall. He fell, leaving a disastrous mark.
-Booooooooooooom!
“Now is the time, let’s go, attack the hell out of him!
“I thought you said we shouldn’t attack him too much.”
“I’m done with the calculations. Don’t worry, Grandpa! We’ll have to take a lot of its strength away to seal it!
“Good. Here we go!”
“Oh, my, Leo!”
The curtain had already risen on the final round.
… If one were to view it objectively, it could be said that it was like a beating of a pufferfish.
