There was no way there existed another ability that could devour fire, utilize its force and not let any fire close . But how was that woman able to imitate Muyoung’s power?

‘An imitation . ’

That’s right . That wasn’t Muyoung’s real power .

If it was Muyoung he would have devoured that fire in an instant .

But that woman wasn’t able to do that . She was mixing something from the light attribute and walking on a tightrope .

Although it wasn’t at the level of the ‘Authority of Fire’ which Muyoung possessed, it was surely something similar to that .

“Can you help me? I don’t think I will be able to block all that . ”

Bae Suzy looked at Bae Sungmin .

Fire burning

The blaze seemed like it was going to destroy the world . That balrog had been alive since ancient times so maybe it was because of that that the internal energy it had stored was unimaginable .

‘Master is getting involved . ’

Sungmin came to a conclusion on his own .

Giving orders to the undead and the specters and imitating the power of fire wasn’t a normal thing at all .

In the first place, Muyoung’s power was miles away of being something that could be transmitted .

But the originality . A power that had its own characteristic .

Was that possible merely by inheriting or transmitting?

So that meant that Muyoung had allowed that power .

‘But why?’

He hadn’t heard anything beforehand .

In the first place, Muyoung had closed the doors of his manor and confined himself .

But there was still a point of contact with Muyoung…When he doesn’t know anything .

Sungmin didn’t like that . At least, the closest ones under the influence of Muyoung were Takan or himself .

And that woman was just a nobody that appeared out of nowhere .

“I will need an explanation after everything ends . ”

Sungmin’s voice was as cold as it could be . Muyoung was the master that had saved Sungmin, made him, and gave him everything that he currently had . That fact didn’t change even if they were 2 years apart .

It was obvious that he would follow him and so he decided to support him by his side . The reason he increased his strength and forces was to prepare for when Muyoung, his master, returned .

‘So there was something I didn’t know . ’

It bothered him and she was also a woman that got on his nerves .

That was true because she continued to disrupt his mind even after he sent her off .

But before that, the consciousness of her being ‘someone that appeared out of nowhere’ was stronger .

That was the reason Sungmin couldn’t get close to her .

“I understand . Quickly…!”

Suzy gritted her teeth .

The beginning was the only time she could feel the taste of the fire .

Even though she had ‘received’ Muyoung’s strength, what Suzy could use was strictly limited .

Muyoung was the administrator of the dam . That meant that he was the one that held the decision on how much he was going to be released from the dam .

In addition, Muyoung was like the sea and Suzy was merely a lake .

If she could receive endlessly then her body wouldn’t be able to endure .

“Καλην?χτα . ”

“Καλην?χτα . ”

Sungmin performed a ‘block’ once again .

He summoned the sturdiest shield he possessed and called the witch ‘Beatrice’ by offering the Hydra .

“Block the fire . ”

Kyaaaaaaaa!

The witch screamed .

A ray of light came out of her only eye and her mouth and then split up to stop the fire .

Sungmin’s staff trembled . It had started to congest for having surpassed the magic limit .

However, Sungmin’s ability to control magic was one of a kind . This meant that his foundations as a magician had reached its peak .

If it was simply magical talent, then Sungmin was confident on not falling behind Enroth or Amon .

His magic power continued to get amplified more and more while it was exploding .

And so, his magic power surpassed 700 in an instant .

“Turn over . ”

The moment his magic power passed 700, his words started to hold strength .

It was an obvious thing as his magic power had transcended although for an instant .

When he suppressed the fire, the ground turned over and devoured the flames .

If Suzy had taken care of the initial phase, then the remaining thing was all taken care of by Sungmin .

Totter .

Sungmin tottered .

“Whew, we could have been in deep trou…Are you okay?”

Suzy opened her eyes widely and said .

A lich was evil in nature but it was following Muyoung . There wasn’t only the lich but also an incredible number of undead, specters, etc .

Suzy still didn’t know what she was doing or where was this place .

So she thought that there would certainly be a reason .

For Suzy, Muyoung was ‘good’ even though he was a bit silent .

“Let’s rest for a moment . ”

Sungmin kept balance with his staff .

A huge dog appeared as he dust off his hands .

Suzy looked at Sungmin riding on a huge black dog with strange eyes .

‘That great of a magician follows mister…’

Honestly speaking, it was the first time she met a magician on that level .

No human being would be able to do what that lich just did . Even an Archmage that has obtained ‘Amon’s star’ wouldn’t be able to show that kind of ‘miracle’ .

And even if she wasn’t able to see properly at war, the quality of the undead, specters and monsters was different .

Even the Great City would be in danger in front of these numbers .

Gulp!

‘Mister just…’

Merely a few years .

Muyoung had achieved a lot of things in that time .

And would have worked harder than that .

Suzy clenched her fists .

She didn’t know what she could do but decided to do everything she could .

She determined herself like that .

* * *

Bang!

Enroth slammed down his staff .

He was looking at the balrog .

He watched everything from overwhelming the balrog alone, and self destructing due to the spell .

‘Elder Lich…He’s not easy to deal with . ’

It was just for a moment but the power of the Elder Lich became comparable to his even though just for a moment .

Thanks to that he didn’t suffer much damage even at the self destruction of the balrog .

But what about the human woman that appeared out of nowhere?

‘Is that woman the one that killed Shar-Shazar?’

Shar-Shazar had died by the hands of a human . Was that human that woman?

A special person that could control fire .

It seemed like she would be able to show great strength in special conditions .

If Shar-Shazar had fallen into a trap, he could have been defeated by that woman .

‘But that’s not enough . ’

It wasn’t as much as he had expected .

He should rather be more aware of the Elder Lich .

You could say that the spell to amplify magic power was an art . Even Enroth wasn’t able to do that .

‘I want that Lich . ’

Three demon kings have died .

He needed a new demon king to protect and assist him .

A lich was a king in the first place . He didn’t know why a king was along insignificant beings but he thought that he may be able to lead him to the correct road .

In addition, he thought that the three demon kings together didn’t amount to the worth of that lich .

Enroth judged that the Elder Lich hadn’t grown completely but wasn’t able to do so . It was because there was no magician that could guide him in magic .

But Enroth was suitable in that side . And if his abilities were outstanding, he could take him to the devil Amon and let him acquire magical knowledge .

Perhaps, he may become more outstanding than the ‘Monarch of Death’ .

The four transcendent beings . If he obtained a being that could surpass the Monarch of Death, that was one of the four, then Amon’s strength would also become greater .

It hurt that he lost three demon kings and even the balrog but obtaining that lich could compensate all that . That lich was more worthy than that .

He would be paying it cheap if he obtained the lich .

“Increase the speed . ”

Enroth ordered .

At that moment, a huge ‘castle’ flying in the sky started to move faster .

* * *

Muyoung was floating in the air while sitting on his knees . He closed his eyes and stimulated his senses .

He had obtained a divinity . Even if it was only a half, he had now become a half immortal .

The world looked different to him now that he became an immortal .

All the things . Even if those things weren’t living beings everything ‘flowed’ .

Muyoung was also only one point of that flow .

Perhaps, being a god wasn’t that complicated at all . The important thing was how well could one sympathize with these things that flowed .

Such as things like air and magic power that was on the earth .

‘What kind of being is a devil?’

He suddenly got curious .

The devils were also gods but they didn’t belong inside the flow .

‘They aren’t able to sympathize . ’

They didn’t have the ability to sympathize, although they were gods . That’s why they are ‘evil’ . The world doesn’t accept them .

Muyoung entered the flow . He thought that the answer would be at the ring of this flow .

Muyoung’s soul started to get smaller and smaller .

And at some point entered a certain ‘breach’ .

A breach…or a door .

The moment he opened that door he found a transparent being .

“You are not an invited being . ”

“Who are you?”

It was a surprising thing .

Muyoung’s soul had gotten smaller than everyone else’s and entered a breach that he could only enter while his soul was small but there was someone already there .

“I am the administrator of ‘nothingness’ . And this is the lowest floor of all . This is the place where the ones that couldn’t become gods or lost their divinities fall to . But you…are strange . ”

It was the voice of a man but it also sounded like a woman’s .

‘Nothingness . ’

Muyoung repeated the words of the being .

Nothingness . In other words nihility .

There were many talking about this place but no one knew exactly what kind of place this was .

The administrator spoke .

“You are not a fallen one . So you came to this place by yourself? I have seen someone like you once . ”

“You did?”

“The name of that person was called Solomon . He wanted the key . Do you also want the key?”

Muyoung frowned .

He said that Solomon had come to this place to look for a key . That meant that he was an immortal that could find nothingness .

‘But if Solomon is an immortal… . ’

Does that mean that he didn’t die yet?

“What does ‘key’ mean?”

“The key exists to open things that are closed . The key he wanted was the key to open the door of ‘nothingness’ and ‘demon world’ . ”

Nothingness and the demon world!

This was the reason why a passageway connecting Earth and the demon world appeared out of nowhere .

But why did he want the key of nothingness?

“Can I also obtain those keys?”

“You can but instead you have to give your most treasured things . That is the rule of nothingness . ”

“Do you mean that I have to cut an arm?”

“No way . For example your lover, emotions, name…Those kinds of things . Physical things don’t hold any meaning in the nothingness . ”

“So Solomon threw two of those things . ”

“Because he obtained two keys . ”

Solomon obtained two keys .

It meant that an immortal with a divinity threw away two precious things to obtain the keys .

Muyoung shook his head . He wasn’t planning on throwing himself just to obtain a key from someone .

“I don’t need it . ”

“Hm, you are really peculiar . Fine . I think that you will be able to give me something more worthy than those kind of things . ”

“I don’t need anything in particular . ”

“No, you do . Right . Als Nova . How about the book of the Great Magician?”

Muyoung flinched .

Als Nova!

It was a book that had magic powerful enough to destroy the Blue Temple .

Als Nova had gone to the hands of the demon gods in the past .

In the end the Great Magician ‘Merlin’ died by the hands of the devils and the world fell towards destruction .

But of course, he now had his doubts on whether Merlin was a good existence or not at this point .

“Solomon told me to hand this over to the next person that comes to this place . That being could be a good or a bad god or perhaps a human . But he also told me that I could decide whether or not I give this to them . ”

The problem was that Solomon entrusted this to him .

However, Als Nova was something he really wanted .

“What do you want from me?”

The administrator spoke with no expression in his face .

“Tell me the story of having experienced the world one more time . You are a really rare person . If I listen to your story I feel like the nothingness would be filled a bit more . ”

“……!”
