Into the Creations 2391

Chapter 2391 – 2391. Modern Magic Battle

[Using Flash. Remaining stacks: 10]

I close the distance with instantaneous acceleration and swing the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. The monolith dodges the attack with a short space jump.

‘It’s on the right.’

Through the Heavenly Eye, I can see the flow of magic power. It means I can clearly see where the monolith will appear.

[Using Flash. Remaining stacks: 9]

I threw a Vajra Trust at the spot where the monolith would appear after its space jump. A steel hand appeared in the air, grabbed the Vajra Trust, and held it.

‘Reverse Summon. Summon.’

I throw the Vajra Trust again. The steel hand blocked it. The Vajra Trust failed to pierce through again and was caught by the steel hand.

‘Even if the Vajra Trust is from another world and weakened by my current state, it shouldn’t be unable to pierce through steel. That hand isn’t ordinary steel. Moreover, it seems to have a will. Is it a familiar?’

It doesn’t move, holding the Vajra Trust.

I gave up on throwing the Vajra Trust. In my current state, I can’t properly handle the Vajra Trust. Its essence is a magical tool that assists spells, but the spells I can use are extremely limited. Summoning the Boji General? That consumes too much magic power. I don’t think I can end the battle with a Boji General summoned by force like that.

‘I can also use short space jumps. Leap.’

I appear behind the monolith and swing my sword at its neck. Then, as if waiting for it, blue flames rise.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) Flying Thunder God (飛雷神).

I kick off the air and retreat. At the same time, I swing the Hwaryeon Flying Blade, sending out a blue sword aura. The sword aura vanished without a trace the moment it touched the azure flames.

“Why aren’t you using azure flames? Don’t you know the power of azure flames? Azure flames are the most dangerous magic among all magic. There’s a reason why the Blue Phoenix, the grimoire of azure flames, is so famous.”

“It’s a matter of efficiency. Even if I use azure flames, it’s obvious they’ll be blocked by your azure flames. Unless it’s magic of a different level. If it’s magic of the same level, it will depend on the amount of magic power.”

Right now, the monolith’s magic power seemed less than mine. But I can’t be sure. Judging by that relaxed attitude, it wouldn’t be strange if it was hiding its magic power. Even if not, it would have a hidden card.

“…I’ve realized something while fighting you, even if just a little. You only target the parts that are hard to deal with. On the other hand, if I prepare something, you notice it like a ghost and avoid it. You shouldn’t know what kind of magic I’m preparing.”

“Well, most of the time I’m just fighting without thinking?”

During the battle, I swing my sword without thinking more than half the time. Think and swing? Of course, you should, but in urgent situations, that thought can be a hindrance. It’s more beneficial to swing your sword and kill the enemy rather than think.

“…You’re serious. That’s why it’s even more absurd. How naturally talented are you in battle?”

Lightning.

Taking advantage of the gap in speech, I dropped lightning from the sky. The monolith, as if it knew, dodged before the lightning struck. It sensed it with magic power before the lightning fell.

Something is coming from below. Sensing it with my senses, I took a step back without hesitation. A huge snake burst out of the concrete floor.

I decapitated it with the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. Suddenly, the snake’s corpse exploded, and liquid splattered everywhere.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) Electromagnetic Barrier (電磁氣幕).

Knowing it was poison, I blocked the liquid with a barrier.

“Doesn’t this work either? You’ve been using berserk magic since earlier, but it has no effect at all. What the hell are you? Are you even a mage?”

“You’ve been talking too much since earlier. Come to think of it, there was a guy who brainwashed targets by putting magic in his voice. Are you doing that right now?”

“You’ve been caught. But it’s true that I’m interested in you. A new creature that’s completely different from what I knew has appeared, so how can I not be interested?”

Whirr.

His grimoire flutters. At the same time, the monolith’s magic power surges.

“Kuaaaak!”

Suddenly, the executives of Remegeton nearby screamed and died. Their souls are being sucked in. This guy is using his comrades’ souls as mana potions.

“Absorbing your comrades’ souls? Are you crazy? Doesn’t Remegeton value their comrades?”

“It’s something that was already discussed beforehand. It’s the power of contract magic. Do you know? There’s a way to kill you for sure. First, I’ll escape from here… and find you in an hour and kill you with True Death. But I won’t use such a method. The stain of running away because I couldn’t handle just one of you can never be left in the history that will unfold.”

Familiars are summoned around him.

A total of 15 monsters, from invisible creatures to a clown with a torn mouth, mannequins with swords and axes, and disgusting, large dog-sized caterpillars.

“The monsters I’ve summoned are not ordinary monsters. Each one is a familiar with unique abilities. You absolutely can’t handle them alone. Let’s end this battle here.”

“Why aren’t you using Ars Magna?”

“What?”

“If you used dozens of Ars Magna at the same time, you could show more power than now. Ah, I see. You can’t use Ars Magna at the same time. One Ars Magna at a time. You said you got your hands on the ultimate grimoire, but it’s nothing special.”

“Shut up! It’s just because I’m not used to the Goetia yet! Once I get used to the Goetia, I can use Ars Magna simultaneously! Kill him!”

The monsters attack me in their own ways. I decided to take out the hidden card I’ve been saving.

Domain Expansion.

Starlight extends from the Hwaryeon Flying Blade, occupying the surrounding space. As I put strength into the hand holding the handle, a blade of red lightning soared.

I swing the sword at the monsters. Each swing creates a slash over 10 meters long, and red lightning falls randomly, sweeping the surroundings.

‘It’s a power I can’t maintain for long anyway. I’ll go all out.’

Before the monsters could do anything, the slashes that flew cut through the monsters along with the ground.

For reference, the Hwaryeon Flying Blade had anti-magic power. Since the opponent is a creature made of magic, I can gain an advantage in terms of compatibility.

After slicing all the monsters, I ran towards the final target, the monolith. He flutters his grimoire and shouts as if in despair.

“Ars Magna, Halo!!”

-Ars Magna, Annihilation Spear.

The monolith and Goetia chanted simultaneously. It seems they’re using a kind of trick to use Ars Magna at the same time.

‘Halo is Bright’s Ars Magna, the leader of Luminus. When used, the overall magic power usage ability increases… and you can see a short future related to yourself. What is Annihilation Spear?’

A halo appeared above the monolith’s head. Next to him, dust gathered to form a crude spear, which then rushed towards me. I swing the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. The spear shattered.

‘Is this all Ars Magna is?’

Just as I was about to laugh, a new spear appeared in the air. Not one, but three. I shattered the spears. This time, six spears fall on me. I avoided them without shattering them. The spears stuck into the ground. Twelve spears were created in the air.

“It’s useless. The Annihilation Spear won’t stop until it kills you.”

“I’ll just kill you before that.”

“Don’t you know the power of this Halo? You can’t kill me. I won’t make the same mistake as Bright.”

The monolith flicked his finger. A beam of light was fired at me. I casually swung the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. A slash imbued with anti-magic power cut through the beam and flew towards the monolith. The monolith was horrified and dodged to the side.

I started running away.

[Using Acceleration. Lasts for 10 minutes. Remaining stacks: 7]

Even in the midst of that, spears are falling from the sky. The power of each one is nothing special, but the number of spears being created is already over 100. And the power is also increasing little by little.

‘If I had the Storm Breaker, I would have ignored it… but I can’t now. There’s also a limit to blocking it with an electromagnetic barrier. Fortunately, it’s not necessarily doubling every time.’

Zeunryeong.

I wield the clouds and wind, breaking all the spears floating in the sky and rushing towards the monolith. The beams of light the monolith shoots are all cut down by the Hwaryeon Flying Blade.

He simultaneously unleashed more than five kinds of magic in an instant. It doesn’t work on me while I’m using the domain. Before the magic could be completed, I sent a lightning slash, scattering the magic. In the end, all he can do is shoot beams of light, create short space jumps to create distance, and drop the Annihilation Spear.

I continued to attack.

‘Fighting a guy who sees the future is annoying.’

Over 300 spears were falling from the sky. It’s okay now, but the problem is after the domain ends.

‘Should I take a gamble?’

I released the wind of the Zeunryeong that was shattering the spears falling from the sky and spread lightning energy in all directions.

“This crazy bastard…”

The monolith muttered quietly. He quickly ascended into the sky.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) Ultimate Technique (極技) Explosive Thunder (爆震雷).

The spread lightning energy explodes all at once. A large-scale area-of-effect attack that is impossible to avoid even if you know it. Even I, who am using the domain, could die if I’m not careful, so I accelerated time within the explosion.

[Using Time Acceleration. Remaining stacks: 2]

I ran towards him in the explosion. The monolith uses a short space jump. I follow with a leap and swing my sword. The monolith is horrified and dodges. Thanks to time acceleration, I could see all of his movements.

‘Damn time distortion field.’

The time acceleration loses its meaning because of the time distortion field he deployed. The original speed is not coming out. The guy who dodged the attack laughs. He must not have seen the future where he gets hit.

I aimed for that brief moment of carelessness.

I snatched the ultimate grimoire, Goetia, from his hand and landed on the ground.

[Time Acceleration has ended.]

“You dare, you bastard!!”

The monolith, who had his grimoire stolen, was more furious than ever.

“You wouldn’t have seen the future where it was stolen. The Halo only shows a short future related to yourself. To be precise, it only shows the future where you get hurt. Well, honestly, I wasn’t sure either… but as you can see, I succeeded.”

“Goetia is mine! Even if you steal Goetia, you can’t become its master!”

If I use the skill attached to the inventory skill, Ownership Seizure, I might be able to steal it. But what’s the point of stealing it if I can’t take it to another world?

Ars Magna, Azure Flame.

Whirr!

Blue flames burned the grimoire that was dripping with black energy. The ultimate grimoire? Azure flames burn everything.

“No…! My grimoire!!”

The guy screamed and fell from the sky. With the grimoire gone, he could no longer use magic.

“Ah, not yet! It’s not over yet…!”

Whirr.

Flames rose from the monolith’s grasp. Just flames. He imitated my magic with the monolith’s original magic, not Goetia.

“You can’t kill me with flames like that.”

I squeezed the last remaining power of the domain and swung the Hwaryeon Flying Blade. The red slash cut through the monolith’s neck.

The final boss is dead.

And as expected, a quest completion notification window popped up.

[Quest completed.]

[Quest rewards will be given after the ending is confirmed.]

[You can check the ending of ‘Modern Magic Battle’.]

[You can play for 1 more hour.]

[Do you want to end the game now?]

‘Wait a minute. Before I leave, I need to have sex with my women.’
