Chapter 107
Louis, struck by my magic power, screamed as if in agony.
The black magic circle carved near Louis’s heart began to emit ominous sounds and spark with flames.
As I gritted my teeth in worry for Louis, Iban created a spear using black magic.
It was the same power he had aimed at me when I was purifying the Ancient Demon.
“What will you do, Rene Sauver?”
Iban hurled the spear toward me.
I immediately deployed defensive magic, but perhaps because my magic power was so meager, it cracked the moment the spear hit it.
Unlike me, Iban’s magic power was overflowing.
I had no idea what to do.
Crash—!
Even amid this, the black spears continued to rush at me relentlessly.
To make matters worse, people affected by Masu Transformation were gathering around us.
The Mages were doing their best to bind them with restraint magic, but this situation was problematic.
“Just attack, Rene! Don’t worry about me!”
Coughing up blood, Louis looked at me and shouted.
But if I continued to ignore Louis and attack, I didn’t know what would happen to him.
If something went wrong with Louis’s soul, or if Beatrice’s body collapsed…
As I stood there not knowing what to do, Iban seemed to notice this fact and laughed loudly.
“Ahaha. So even a Holy Magic user isn’t much in the end.”
Iban laughed for a while, then suddenly became serious and spoke.
“How boring.”
He sighed as if truly disappointed, then snapped his fingers. Ominous dark clouds began to gather in the sky.
“I believed you would entertain me a bit more, Rene Sauver. What a disappointment.”
Something seemed about to pour down from the dark clouds.
“I guess I’ll just have to kill everyone with my own power.”
What emerged beneath the dark clouds was massive spear-shaped magic power. There seemed to be dozens, no, thousands of them.
If those fell on the Capital, not only would the Capital be half-destroyed, but countless people would die.
I tried somehow to stop Iban. I deployed Holy Magic to attack Iban, but he easily dispelled the magic.
My magic power was woefully insufficient.
“It was fun for a moment. Though it became too cliché at the end.”
It was the moment when Iban was about to snap his fingers with a smile.
[Warning! An evil Black Mage is trying to half-destroy the Capital with his own power! Stop the evil Black Mage!]
A system window appeared before my eyes along with a beeping warning sound.
I also knew that Iban was trying to half-destroy the Capital. But my current magic power was ridiculously insufficient to stop Iban.
How am I supposed to stop Iban!
As I gritted my teeth, the text written in the system window began to change.
[You can boost your magic power by using your soul as collateral. Would you like to do so?
※Warning! When boosting magic power using your soul as collateral, there is a high possibility that your soul will shatter. If your soul shatters, your body will disappear and you will die!
Yes / No]
For a moment, I hesitated.
Boost my magic power using my soul as collateral? Is that possible?
When I asked, the system window sparkled as if answering yes. As I stared blankly into space, Iban tilted his head curiously.
Death.
Suddenly, fear washed over me.
To me, who had never experienced death, death was a distant and abstract concept.
Haneul Soo-young from the original world might have died. As Louis said, she might have died suddenly in her sleep.
But back then, she was unconscious, so she didn’t even know she was experiencing death.
However, now was different.
This was a situation where I had to choose death with my own hands.
I glared at Iban while hiding my fingertips that trembled finely with fear.
But stopping Iban was the urgent priority right now.
To prevent this world from being destroyed, and thus to protect the people I love.
If I could protect all of that with just my one soul…
I shouted ‘Yes’ in my mind without hesitation. Then I felt an enormous amount of magic power filling up inside me.
Iban must have felt it too, as he frowned.
“How…”
I looked at him and smiled.
“Why, didn’t you say it was boring?”
Suddenly, Iban’s face darkened.
“So I’m trying to make it interesting.”
Iban, who had been staring at me blankly, burst into quiet laughter.
“I didn’t expect this…”
Iban smiled as if gritting his teeth and deployed black magic.
I also drew up the vast magic power that had filled me.
I would purify the entire Capital at once.
I looked at Iban and released my magic power.
In an instant, the black magic Iban had activated clashed with my magic power.
Crackle—.
Black sparks flew.
Iban tried somehow to block my magic power, but it wasn’t enough.
My magic power was currently overflowing.
Since I had drawn it up using my soul as collateral, it was incomparable to Iban’s magic power.
Iban’s magic power began to be gradually dispelled.
I released even more vast magic power. Suddenly Iban’s magic power began to be pushed back, then spread throughout the entire Capital.
A pale light covered the Capital.
Then the people who had undergone Masu Transformation began to return to normal.
The sky that had been covered with dark clouds also regained its original color.
Iban, enveloped by my magic power, began coughing up bright red blood.
His soul had been damaged. Holy Magic was meant to strike the souls of those tainted by black magic.
I stood in the light and looked down at Iban.
He was bent over, continuously spitting up blood.
“How…”
Iban glared at me with bloodshot eyes.
The bright blood spread around his mouth dripped steadily to the ground. I watched that sight and smiled.
I could feel my soul gradually beginning to crack. The feeling of something very intimate and deep inside my body making a cracking sound as it split.
I smiled while feeling the cracks being carved into my soul.
My consciousness seemed to be gradually sinking.
But Iban wasn’t dead yet. I couldn’t collapse like this.
Iban tried to deploy black magic again.
Although his soul had been damaged, he apparently still had the strength left to respond to me.
“I have things I must protect.”
I drew up my magic power.
Feeling the cracks in my soul deepen, I gathered as much magic power as possible.
“You tried to eliminate my precious things. So I can never forgive you.”
Then I gathered it all together and created a massive golden spear.
“Even if my soul shatters and I die, I will eliminate you.”
It was the moment when Iban shot black magic at me like a final struggle.
I hurled the golden spear.
Crackle—!
The golden spear that dispelled the black magic flew forth and pierced through Iban’s chest.
“Cough…!”
Iban collapsed, spitting up fresh blood.
In the end, Iban fell without even being able to close his eyes. After confirming that Iban had collapsed, I slumped down where I stood.
Iban would die soon.
And so would I.
I quietly sat down and looked up at the sky.
I could see the clear blue sky.
“Master!”
That’s when it happened.
I heard a voice calling for me.
I turned around while holding onto my fading consciousness.
Kaisis was running toward me.
“Kaisis…”
I reached out my hand toward Kaisis with difficulty.
My eyelids grew heavy as if I would lose consciousness at any moment.
Kaisis, who had rushed over, pulled me into his arms.
“Master.”
“I won. I did well… right?”
I smiled as I looked up at Kaisis. Kaisis hurriedly examined me.
“Master, you mustn’t lose consciousness.”
But I was so sleepy.
As I slowly blinked my eyes, Kaisis cupped my cheeks.
“Master, stay conscious.”
“Kaisis…”
I struggled to lift my hand and grasped Kaisis’s hand that was cupping my cheek. I could feel Kaisis’s hand trembling.
“I love you…”
I smiled at Kaisis with all the strength I could muster.
My eyelids fell helplessly.
I could hear Kaisis calling for me. But I couldn’t open my eyes. Kaisis’s voice gradually grew distant.
After that, everything went dark.
* * *
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the middle of a street in South Korea.
Cars were driving on the roads, tall buildings lined the streets, and streetlights stood—the streets of South Korea.
I looked around in confusion.
South Korea? Did I come back?
