Chapter 104

Wооооoong…!!!!

Rumbling… ТНUМР!!!!

СRASH!!!!!!

Leхаr, who was сhanting the Instаnt Dеаth Маgiс, was surroundеd by an inсrеasinglу еnоrmоus аmount оf Mаna.

It wasn’t thе bluе light оf оrdinary Мanа, but the black Маna that could оnlу be seen from Mаgеs who had learned Dаrk Мagic.

Jаrvian аnd Каliоn were right next tо Lexаr, lооking worriedlу bасk and forth bеtween Кhan and Lexаr.

Сrack-!

Тhе ground сrackеd and even thе surrounding аir vibrаted.

Unless they werе idiots, thеу wоuld know fоr sure that sоmеthing big wаs hapрening аrоund thеm.

Nеvеrthelеss, strаngеly, thе Мage named Khan and his companions didn’t seem very flustered.

“H, Hyungnim!! It seems like there’s still something left! Stay behind me! I will protect you even if it costs me my life!”

Except for the fuss made by that big Knight, everyone else seemed strangely calm.

‘That woman, Sharin, has also raised her Mana.’

However, Khan was really doing nothing.

Just how skilled a Mage would he have to be to afford to be so relaxed in a situation like this?

Jarvian thought that if he were Khan, he would have gotten out of this place as quickly as possible.

Jarvian and Kalion continued to watch Khan, and it was when he wasn’t showing any particular reaction.

Woong……!!!!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee…!!!!!!!!!!

Lexar, who was chanting the Instant Death Magic, stopped chanting.

That meant that he had finished chanting all the incantations and was now ready to use Magic right away.

‘Everything is ready. No Archmage has ever been able to block this Instant Death Magic.’

Originally, he was going to use it on the Magic Tower Lord of the Yellow Magic Tower, but he could use it again later.

Lexar’s own lifespan would be shortened that much, but if he continued to study Dark Magic, there would definitely be a way to extend his lifespan.

Therefore, Lexar didn’t care even if his lifespan was cut in half right now.

Woong…!!!!!!

‘You guys, step back.’

‘Yes!’

‘Yes…!’

Jarvian and Kalion had only heard about Instant Death Magic, but this was the first time they had actually seen it in front of them.

The pitch-black Mana that had been spreading from Lexar’s body was now all gathered in his right hand.

That Mana was darker than any Dark Magic Mana that Jarvian and Kalion had ever seen.

Woouuung…!!!!!!

After a while, the black Mana in Lexar’s right hand began to emit light in all directions.

He stretched his hand up into the sky towards Khan.

Screeeeeech!!!!

Then, the black Mana that had gathered in his hand flew towards Khan at an incredible speed.

The Magic he used was a Magic called ‘Death of Destruction’, the ultimate Magic that could not be blocked by any Defensive Magic!

In addition, ‘Death of Destruction’ was the ultimate Instant Death Magic that even had a tracking function, making it impossible to avoid.

‘Kuhahahaha!! Now you guys watch closely! See how that guy dies!’

Gulp…!

As Lexar laughed loudly and shouted, Jarvian and Kalion swallowed their saliva and watched.

But suddenly, something unbelievable happened.

‘W, what is this…!!!’

Lexar, who saw this, widened his eyes in surprise.

Jarvian and Kalion, who were next to him, were even more surprised than Lexar.

* * *

The surrounding air was shaking greatly, and the ground was cracking, creating fissures.

Khan’s mind was filled with ominous thoughts, and he decided that he should get out of here first.

“Byutek, Sharin. Let’s get out of here for now…!!”

As Khan called Byutek and Sharin and was about to tell them to leave, a message he had never seen before suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Skill ‘Sage’s Heart’ has been activated.]

[Skill ‘Sage’s Heart’ has detected ominous Dark Magic.]

[Use Defensive Magic right now.]

[You will lose your life if you do not use Defensive Magic.]

Khan didn’t feel anything, but it was as if the Rank 10 Hidden Skill, ‘Sage’s Heart’, was shouting at him to use Defensive Magic right now if he didn’t want to die.

As soon as Khan saw the message, he looked at Byutek and Sharin and shouted.

“Byutek! Sharin! Get behind me right now!!!”

“Ah, yes!”

“Okay!”

If he used the ‘Mirror Defense’ Skill, he could somehow block the invisible Dark Magic, but that was only possible for attacks that came at Khan himself.

If the guy were to fire Dark Magic at Byutek or Sharin, Khan would not be able to save them.

Of course, if Byutek and Sharin quickly got behind him like this, he could protect Byutek and Sharin with ‘Mirror Defense’.

Khan used the Skill right away.

[Skill ‘Mirror Defense’ has been used.]

Woong…!!!!!!!!!!

Blue Mana spread around Khan’s body, creating an invisible, transparent barrier.

And after a while.

Kwaaaaaaaang!!!!!

Kukwaaaaaaaang!!!!!

Suddenly, with a tremendous roar, the ‘Mirror Defense’ barrier began to shake violently.

‘Mirror Defense’ was an absolute defense Skill that blocked any attack.

The Cooldown was a bit long, but it wasn’t something to worry about for Khan, who had the ‘Sage’s Heart’.

‘Hoo… I managed to block it somehow.’

Fortunately, he succeeded in blocking some unknown Dark Magic.

Then, a message appeared in front of Khan, telling him what kind of Magic he had just blocked.

[Skill ‘Mirror Defense’ has blocked Rank 8 Dark Magic ‘Death of Destruction’.]

[Skill ‘Death of Destruction’ has been absorbed.]

[The absorbed Skill can be released within 5 minutes.]

‘Death of Destruction…?!’

Khan knew very well about the Skill ‘Death of Destruction’.

He had never used it himself or seen other Users use it while playing the game.

‘This Magic is a Skill used by top-tier boss-level Monsters….’

For reference, the ‘Death of Destruction’ Skill was an absurdly overpowered Skill that could never be avoided or blocked.

That’s why Khan had died several times to boss-level Monsters that used this Skill.

Later, Khan succeeded in mastering the ‘Death of Destruction’ Skill himself.

‘If I messed up, I could have really died….’

The battle wasn’t over yet.

Khan quickly regained his composure and looked down at his feet.

Swish.

Swish.

Swish.

Lexar, who had been hiding all along, and his subordinates, Jarvian and Kalion, appeared.

Their clothes were all tattered, and their complexions didn’t look very good either.

“Y, you…! How did you block it!! How did you block it!!!”

Lexar, who had worked hard to raise his Mana and used ‘Death of Destruction’, shouted with a resentful expression.

That’s because it was a Skill he had used while sacrificing half of his lifespan.

How resentful would he be if Khan had blocked it so casually?

Khan looked down at Lexar and slowly opened his mouth with a disdainful expression.

“Are you making a fuss over an attack of this level?”

“H, how dare you call the Magic I’ve researched my whole life… just this much! I’ll kill you no matter what…!!!”

Woouuung…!!!!!

Kukwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang…!!!!!

Lexar, who was furious, roared and raised all the Mana he had.

Then, a tremor several times greater than the one that had shaken the ground a moment ago occurred.

The surrounding air shook and the wind blew so hard that it stung the skin.

“You’re the one who’s going to die.”

Khan looked at Lexar and used the Mirror Defense Skill once again.

For reference, if you use the Mirror Defense Skill again, the absorbed Skill will be released.

[Skill ‘Mirror Defense’ has been used.]

[Releases the absorbed ‘Death of Destruction’ Skill.]

The black Mana that had been rising from Lexar’s body began to rise from Khan’s hand.

Woouuung…!!!!!

The dark black Mana had already completely covered Khan’s right hand.

Soon, the black Mana left his hand and flew towards Lexar at an incredible speed.

Screeeeeech…!!!!

“This is…!! How…!!!!!”

Lexar panicked and created a black Mana Shield.

Woong…!!!!

However.

Crackle!!!!

Kwaaaaaaaang!!!!!

The Shield he created shattered without lasting even 0.1 seconds.

“Kkeuaaaaaaak!!!!!”

Lexar screamed and faced ‘Death of Destruction’ with his whole body.

Thud.

The black Mana seemed to penetrate the target’s body and grab the heart.

Lexar’s heart stopped beating.

Jarvian and Kalion, who saw this, instinctively took a step back.

“W, what is this…!!”

“Save me!! Let’s run, Jarvian!!!”

Lexar, whom they had revered like a god, had died without being able to lay a hand on Khan, so Jarvian and Kalion’s will to fight completely evaporated.

In any case, they had almost no Mana left now.

If they stayed here, they would just die a dog’s death.

It was when Kalion was about to raise his last remaining Mana and run away.

Woong…!!!!

Screeeeeech!!!!

Bang!!!!!

At that moment, Sharin, who had been raising Mana behind Khan, fired a fist-sized Mana Bullet, and Kalion’s head exploded.

“K, Kalion!!!”

Jarvian screamed in fear as he watched his companion’s head explode right next to him.

That was his last cry.

Swish-!

Slash-

Thud.

Byutek, who had suddenly appeared near Jarvian, had cut off his head.

Splatter!!!

Blood spurted from the severed section of the neck.

Red blood splattered in all directions, as if signaling the end of the Quest.
