The Minotaur was a large monster with a human body and a bull’s face.
The average size is over 4 meters. It has a thick body and broad shoulders.
Its strength and toughness were top-notch even among monsters of similar size.
They have some intelligence and can use weapons, and the one rushing at me right now was holding a huge sledgehammer.
“Ku …
The Minotaur’s mace came flying, ripping the air apart. I moved my body slightly to the side to dodge the mace.
Kwaaaaang!
A large hole was dug where the hammer had landed. Almost at the same time, I kicked the ground and jumped up.
Tadah!
I jumped up to the height of the Minotaur’s face in one breath and swung my shining staff with all my might.
Phew-!
It wasn’t a swing attack with great expectations.
If it’s the Minotaur’s tumbler, at best it’s an attack that will make its face turn to the side.
In the first place, it was almost impossible to defeat a Minotaur with a blunt weapon.
Phew!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The Minotaur roared and flew more than ten meters.
I landed on the ground and looked down at the glowing staff in my right hand.
Are there any hidden features I don’t know about?
“Ku …
Then the Minotaur jumped up like a grasshopper and rushed at me again.
Phew!
I ducked down to avoid the hammer, then struck the bastard in the shin with my shining staff.
Snap!
A terrible, painful sound came from the Minotaur’s shin.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The Minotaur screamed and jumped up. He threw down his hammer and rolled on the ground, clutching his shins.
I muttered in disbelief at the sight.
“Why are you so weak? Are you really the Minotaur?”
“Ku …
The Minotaur roared fiercely as if it was being wronged. However, even though it was shouting with tears in its eyes, it was not very convincing.
However, as a monster, it had a fast recovery rate, and the Minotaur soon limped back to its feet.
Purrrrr!
The Minotaur crouched down on all fours, groaning violently.
It stamped its hooves with its hind legs and pointed its sharp horns toward me.
Among the Minotaur’s attacks, this was known as the ‘charge’ attack, which was the most destructive.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The Minotaur rushed at me, shaking the earth.
When facing it head on, it felt like a dump truck was coming from the front.
In normal circumstances, this is an attack that should be avoided for now.
But strangely enough, I didn’t really feel like avoiding it.
I soon found out why.
“···The output changed just because I changed one method.”
The Heavenly Sword was supplying mana to my entire body.
It wasn’t like my mana amount suddenly increased just because I used luck a few times.
The internal energy is almost the same. What has changed is the efficiency.
Just as performance changes when you change engines even though they use the same fuel,
When I changed from the Great Heavenly Sword to the Heavenly Sword, the efficiency of using mana increased several times.
Thanks to this, something like this became possible.
Woof woof woof-!
The glowing staff literally shone brightly.
It was a staff that had nothing but strength and shining functions, but now it was enveloped in light and showed off a majesty no less than Excalibur.
I could faintly hear people muttering behind me.
“Oh my god… What kind of magic is that?”
“It must be a legendary weapon···.”
It’s just a solid, shiny LED stick.
Anyway, I filled my glowing staff with mana and jumped.
And then he struck the forehead of the running Minotaur with all his might.
-Kwaaaaang!
The Minotaur’s skull caved in with a single blow, and its massive body sprawled on the ground like a frog.
I stood lightly in front of him and looked at the sight I had created.
“Whey···.”
I only changed one method, but it was like this.
What if you learn the new recipes and techniques in the Geomhwangbirok?
In fact, I have been interested in the new law for a long time.
Unlike before I regressed, my knees are now in good condition.

If I learn the ultimate divine technique and use it in combination with my unique [Stealth]…
It may be possible to actually implement many technologies that were previously only hypothesized.
“···When I go back, I should read the part about the new law.”
It was when I was lost in thought for a moment.
“Great Sage!”
When I looked back, the people hiding inside the shield were looking at me with bewildered faces.
I said to them with a mysterious smile.
“Now that it’s safe, you can come out…”
“Oh, Great Sage! The gate is not open yet!”
Woof woof woof!
I looked up at the sky and saw a new monster falling from the gate.
“···Please stay inside for a little while longer.”
At first I thought that was the end since only one Minotaur appeared, but I guess that was just a trailer.
Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The gate disappeared after dropping two Minotaurs and about 30 Mad Cows, which were like a deteriorated version of the Minotaurs.
““Ku …
““Oh my god!””
Fortunately, the Blue House’s response was also quick.
By the time the second wave of monsters had poured out of the gate, the troops stationed inside the Blue House and government superhumans had been mobilized to form a siege.
The problem was that they trusted me very, very much.
Joo Sang-wook, who brought the government-affiliated superhumans, looked at me and shouted.
“Superhuman team, rescue the civilians! The Great Sage will take care of the monsters! Do not interfere and just maintain the siege!”
“”yes!””
The superhumans quickly rescued the civilians and returned to their seats.
Hey? Can you handle the monsters too?
Before I had time to argue, the monsters rushed at me.
“Ku …
“Ummmm-!”
I sighed, adjusting my grip on the glowing staff.
“Ugh.”
It was then that a little boy came flying in from the west wing and shouted.
[Sir…, Magician! The assistant has arrived!]
After a while, the little boy landed next to me. I whispered softly to him. I couldn’t speak loudly because there were so many eyes watching.
“Where have you been?”
[Did you eat with a friend?]
“···friend?”
You made a friend in the meantime?
I was curious to know who the little one’s new friend was, but I didn’t have much time to chat leisurely.
First, we need to defeat the monsters running in front of us.
I stepped forward, wand in hand. Now that the little boy was here, I could play wizard.
I didn’t forget to mutter something out loud to myself in case someone raised a new question.
“I didn’t want to cause any damage to the palace… but there are too many monsters, so I can’t help it!”
I spoke softly, extending my cane forward.
“Fire, come down and become rain.”
At my signal, the little one created fireworks.
Hurrruruk! Hurrruruk!
Sparks bloomed in the air and rained down on the monsters that were running towards them. The moment the sparks touched the monsters’ bodies, they exploded.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!
““Oh my god!””
The Mad Cows screamed and writhed in agony. But even in the midst of all that, there were still those who kept running towards them.
In particular, the two minotaurs at the front charged forward, their thick skin able to withstand the flames.
““Ku …
If you want to punish yourself, there’s nothing you can do.
I walked forward and held out my glowing staff.
Now that I’ve tried it once, I can make up a plausible order.
“Light!”
Woof woof woof!
The shining staff emitted a dazzling light. I raised my Heavenly Sword and charged at the remaining monsters.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Later, a statue of a great sage swinging a staff and beating down a monster was erected in the Blue House square.

Because of the commotion caused by the monsters pouring out of the gate, we were not able to leave the Blue House until that evening.
President Kim Soo-ho returned to the Blue House and held my hand tightly.
“Lord Aximus, I will never forget this favor.”
The president spent three days without sleeping, roaming the city and devising defense plans.
Then, when he heard the news that I was returning to the Gaia continent, he came running right away.
I said with a soft smile.
“I just did what I had to do. Please help me prevent disaster.”
“Of course. I will stop it with my life. And this is···”
At the President’s nod, the bodyguards came carrying a box.
As I looked at the box with a puzzled look, the President said, “Please accept it.”
“I remember what you said last time. This magic stone is said to be a very precious item on the Gaia continent… It may be small, but please accept it.”
Of course, it was intentional, but I shook my head with a puzzled expression.
“No! I can never accept something like this!”
“If you don’t accept it, I won’t send it to you.”
President Kim Soo-ho was stubborn and would not let go of my hand, so I had no choice but to accept the gift.
“This precious thing···.”
Let’s take a quick look at the mana felt inside the box. There were at least twenty high-grade magic stones inside.
I said, suppressing the smile that was forming on my lips.
“Now our time here is up.”
We slowly rose into the sky using our shields.
President Kim Soo-ho looked up at me with a hazy expression and said.
“Lord Aximus. Will we ever meet again?”
I looked around at the people gathered to see me off with a mysterious smile.
“Well, if fate permits…”
There weren’t many people gathered. The president, the chief of staff, the bodyguards, Joo Sang-wook, and a few superhumans were visible.
The most surprising thing was that Han Ji-ye, one of the first Awakened ones, was standing in one corner.
The girl was waving her hand in this direction with a blank expression on her face.
To be exact, it wasn’t me, it was directed next to me.
I glanced at the kid.
Are you sure that this is the guy you’re friends with?
There was no need to hear the answer.
Even the little one was waving his hand enthusiastically toward Han Ji-ye.
[See you again!]
The fire witch and the ice witch are friends.
Well, there’s nothing you can’t do.
There won’t be any more fighting to kill each other like before.
I snickered and told everyone.
“Maybe we can meet again someday.”
And he tore the teleportation scroll hidden in the sleeve of his robe.
Paaaaat-
Our bodies began to be engulfed in blue light. The sight was so amazing that exclamations erupted from below.
“May the blessings of Mana be with you all. And···.”
I was wondering what to say to them for the last time.
I came here and told a lot of lies,
Still, I decided to tell the truth at least until the end.
“I hope you survive and don’t die.”
Soon we were enveloped in a blue light and disappeared into the sky above the Blue House.
Paaaaaaaah!

When we returned to the tent, Sirutteok was wandering around inside, biting his nails.
“Did you take good care of the house?”
Sirutteok, startled by my voice, turned around to look at us and shouted.
“Brother! We’re in big trouble!”
I asked, pretending not to know anything.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Sirutteok poured out his words as if he had built up resentment from not being able to speak for a long time.
“A disaster is coming to the city! All the rainbows will disappear, and hundreds of gates will appear at once! There will be over 10,000 monsters! The president himself announced it! Brother!”
“Oh, really?”
I nodded indifferently and picked up the cell phone I had left in the tent and turned it on.
97 missed calls and messages.
Almost all of them were Baek Yeong-hee, and the rest were sent by people from the guild.
Sirutteok was on the verge of going crazy at my calm reaction.
“Brother!! Now is not the time to react so calmly! If disaster comes, this place too···”
I looked around the tent and asked.
“Where did Wang Guho go?”
“···I was called to the guild. There is an emergency there too. When you get back, please contact me immediately···.”
The guild didn’t have to worry much, since they had already taken appropriate action against Baek Chang-soo.
“I’ll contact you. By the way···”
I looked at the sirutteok with a curious expression.
Honestly, I thought you’d run away by now. You’d be waiting for us in this situation.
I said with a snicker.
“You’re a good candidate. I have something that would suit you just fine.”
“yes?”
Instead of answering, I turned my head and looked outside the tent.
The rainbow in the night sky now had no bright colors left, so at first glance it looked like a single line.
The remaining colors are blue, navy, and purple.
Is there about a week left now?
I roughly estimated the time I had left and mentally organized what I had to do before then.
That was when.
Slurp.
The blue band of the rainbow faded and disappeared like a mirage.
“······.”
I said, looking at the rainbow that was getting thinner and thinner as if it would break at any moment.
“Sirutteok.”
“Yes, brother!”
“Pack your bags. Let’s go into the guild first.”
