EP.111 Disaster, nightmare, ghost (4)
Belnoa does not consider stars sacred.
Like wizards who made deals with stars, Belnoa also viewed stars as mere means of transaction.
‘If you pay a price, you will be granted reasonable rights.’
There is no room for sanctity there.
Because it was just an extremely calculated relationship.
‘······I’m sure that would be the case.’
Belnoa looks in front of him.
Demonic beasts emerge from the fog. The demonic beasts that fill the alleys are something I have never seen before. However, the moment I stand in front of them… I am certain that my body will be torn to pieces.
Something you can’t compete with.
Something you have to fear because you can’t deal with it.
There is someone who faces it head on.
Her gray hair is flowing. She looked behind her. Belnoa and her gaze became entangled.
“Take a good look.”
She said.
“Just seeing it will help.”
“Clap,” she claps.
“I offer it.”
A clear voice rang out.
Even in the vibrating stench of the demonic beasts and among the cries of the demonic beasts, that voice is clear.
It’s like saying a prayer.
Stars answer prayers. The stars do not turn away anyone who wants to do business. The price is paid and the deal is concluded. Belnoa watched the entire process.
Something is offered.
Something goes on the scale.
What goes on the scale becomes brilliant starlight.
The moment the transaction was completed, her gray hair shone. Her body itself shone like a star. A star dwells in a mere human body.
‘···beautiful.’
Those who witness miracles become priests.
They sing about the splendor of the stars. They speak the name of God and regard the stars as sacred.
However, Belnoa is a wizard.
The wizard who witnessed the miracle glimpses the truth contained in the miracle. Explore the laws contained therein. It was only a fleeting moment, but Belnoir saw it.
‘Destination point.’
What lies at the end of all magic.
The extreme that a wizard should pursue.
Kwasik.
The star-bearing wizard steps forward. The brick bounces. There is a crack in the floor. Geum runs down the alley and covers the alley.
Smash.
There was a flash of light.
Light cuts through the darkness. The brilliant starlight sets the shadows on fire. In front of the light, the demonic beasts burn to ashes.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The sound came late.
In the midst of the wind pressure that threatened to make him lose his mind, Belnoir opened his eyes straight. She strained her eyes and looked.
How far can a human who embraces the stars become so brilliant? What is the limit he should pursue?
I just saw it.
Because that’s all I can do right now.

『Everything you have can become goods.』
The day I first learned about dealing with the stars, my teacher said that to me. When I was young, I had one question the moment I heard that.
‘So, what is the most expensive item I own?’
Master did not answer that question.
He was just silent. He just stroked my head without saying a word.
…It wasn’t until much later that I got the answer.
If you think about it, it’s a simple thing.
A right granted from birth. Something that cannot be replaced by anything. Therefore, it is the most precious thing. That is the most expensive commodity.
Life.
Lifespan.
The right to live in the world given to a person by heaven. Goods quantified by period. When one gives up some of those rights, one can get closer to the stars than anyone else.
Life is the most precious commodity.
There is no turning back.
Just using it puts a strain on your body.
The price of wielding power beyond your control is high.
‘Life is a good with a limited quantity.’
Must be saved. It must be treasured.
However, the fact that it is a good remains unchanged.
‘If the moment comes when you need to use it.’
If there comes a moment when you absolutely have to write.
If an opportunity comes to shorten the years by sacrificing one’s life. If a moment comes when you have to dare to handle something you cannot handle.
‘You have to be willing to sacrifice it.’

I have been willing to sacrifice my life.
I have lived like that until now.
The way of life does not change easily.
Smash.
I swung my arm.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
With a roar, the demonic beasts are swept away.
I look at the apostate through the flying blood and flesh of the demonic beasts. Assess her condition.
It is in a weakened state.
She entered the kingdom on her own feet.
Unknown restrictions are binding her.
The familiars she summoned are weakened.
Finally, she was reluctant to descend on her own.
Evidence and evidence gather.
The gathered evidence leads to one conclusion. The conclusion drawn is a possibility. I saw the possibility.
‘Today, in this place.’
An opportunity that will never come again.
A faint possibility. I was willing to pay with my life to turn that into confidence.
‘Kill the apostate.’
Kill the madman who has reigned as a disaster for hundreds of years. With that thought in mind, I move my body.
Chii Iik.
Smoke rises above the body.
The sound of life burning away lingers in my ears. The burnt-out life becomes starlight and dwells in the body.
What I feel is a sense of omnipotence.
Quang!
I clenched and unclenched my fists and took a step forward. The alley is destroyed. The flesh of the demonic beasts caught up in the crushing sprang up in all directions.
Cooung.
Close the distance with one step.
Take a big step and pull your fist. The moment the bottom is reached, the buildings begin to collapse.
“Ah really······.”
I can see her face right in front of my nose.
“It’s so adorable it’s driving me crazy.”
A smile appears on the apostate’s face. She is smiling even in this situation. Her ecstatic smile made her feel nauseous.
Smash.
I swung my fist at close range. Naturally, the fists don’t reach. Her crustacean dragon breaks through her other world and protects her.
Kieeeeek!
The skin of the crustacean that received the crushing cracks.
The crustacean screams and tries to run wild. I pushed my fist a little deeper.
The loaded spell emits light.
Triple-Spell.
Damn.
The crustacean’s epidermis cracks. Strengthen your fists. He took a step forward and swung his fist.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The crustacean is destroyed.
The superimposed impacts lifted the apostate’s body into the air. She waved her arm. Demonic beasts pour out.
“······.”
As I watched the magical beasts pouring down from the air, I bent my knees. I know how to deal with apostates. It is simple, but simple is difficult.
‘You shouldn’t give it time.’
kick the ground
Explodes the falling demonic beasts. Step and leap. Using them as a stepping stone, chase the apostate in the air.
‘You have to keep pushing.’
Accel.
Increased strength (Muscular).
Enhance-Strength.
The spells light up one after another. A body strengthened to its limits surpasses its limits. The cost is replaced with mana. Starlight dwells in a body that has surpassed its limits.
Everything is a few steps ahead of my expectations.
The starlight in his body makes him possible.
A distance that would not have been reached originally. The enemy I couldn’t catch. However, it is within reach now. The outstretched hand grabs the magical beast surrounding the apostate’s body.
Bingle.
Spin around in the air. He whirled his body around and swung his arms that held the apostate.
Smash.
Triple-Spell.
Wow!
The overlapping impacts blow away the apostate’s body. She snaps her fingers, following where she is headed with her eyes.
Chain.
Chains are tied to the body of the flying apostate.
He swung the arm holding the chain. In an instant, the taut chain flutters and the body of the apostate flies toward me.
Kieeeeek!
It’s not just apostates who fly.
Even while flying in the air, her hands are immersed in another world. Her magical beast continues to pop out from the gaping gap.
“Tsk.”
He clicks his tongue briefly and swings his arms.
The demonic beasts explode. Right now, moving the location is a priority. I look at the place I marked out in advance.
‘rampart.’
The remains of the demonic beasts pour down onto the floor.
I pulled the chain through the falling debris. With a loud bang, the chain that could not overcome its strength broke.
“Can you reach it with that?”
She smiles as she approaches me.
He opens his arms and tries to hug me. Still, she is full of leisure. The magical beasts surrounding her body have not yet been removed.
Unless it’s a star sword.
The magical beast surrounding her body cannot be cut down with one blow.
‘I already know that.’
I don’t have a holy sword. There is no need to look for something that is not there. I have my own way.
“Shut up.”
I clench my fists.
The scattered ashes gather in my fist.
Smash.
Ashes to Ashes.
A flash of light, and a storm of rushing heat.
The demon surrounding her burns away and disappears. She swung her fist towards her face, where only a layer of demonic beast remained.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Her body flies away with the explosion. After flying for a while, she crashed into the castle wall, making a sound.
Bingle.
Chain.
He twists his body in the air and throws the chain.
On the clock tower, in the cathedral, or on the floor. Pulling on the chain that was thrown around indiscriminately. Accelerate your body.
Wedge!
I see an apostate imprisoned on the wall.
She is reaching through the stone debris. The other world is torn apart and something about her is about to pop out.
However, I am a little faster.
Kwasik!
Trample the apostate’s head with your foot. The castle wall cracks with a cracking sound. Her head is buried deep within the castle walls.
Triple-Spell.
Spell-Boost.
Spell-Reinforce.
I swing my closed fist.
Where it is headed is her arm. She finally got rid of her magic. All she has to do is cut off that arm, and she can seize victory.
Smash······.
That’s the moment.
Suddenly.
A quiet cutting sound passes through my ears.
The spell that was about to be completed was cut. The blade that pierced through the layers of spells skimmed across the back of my hand.
It is perfect swordsmanship.
It was an extremely clean slash.
Fit.
Blood splattered out. The wound is shallow. It’s shallow, but I couldn’t take the next action right away. The pupils shook. When I opened my mouth, my voice trembled.
“you···.”
I saw the apostate pinned against the wall.
I saw ‘it’ protecting her.
“What is this…”
“Do you like it?”
Trampled under my feet, the apostate burst into laughter.
“I thought a lot about you guys after cutting off my arm. Because it was the first time I was pushed to such an extent. “I was pretty embarrassed too.”
Her strange laughter rang in my ears.
“When I thought about it, the answer was simple. In the end, I am a wizard, and wizards are weak to swordsmen. “It’s like no matter what I do, I can’t last even a second against Ganicalt.”
She.
“So I thought.”
She laughed.
“I wish there was another swordsman to protect me besides Ganicalt. Because you can’t call Ganikalt at any time. And, I didn’t have to look far for the ingredients.”
The familiar she summoned raises a sword.
The sharp blade shines beautifully under the moonlight.
“There is only one person in history who has withstood Ganikalt with a pure sword. “There was a human being who accomplished something that no superhuman could have done.”
The knife stopped in front of my neck.
