The Natural Enemy of Mages Has Been Reincarnated – Episode 221
“Wh-what is this…? Why are all the skills I gathered…?”
Future Choi Kang-jun, whose eyebrows trembled, cried out as if seized by convulsions.
“How did I even collect those?! How can you just take away everything I’ve bled and sweated to gather?! Huh? Tell me, you damned Creator God bastard!”
His mental state had utterly shattered.
At the sight of him, Zeke smiled.
‘I survived. Things didn’t go the way he wanted.’
It was a smile of relief.
But.
“You’re laughing? How dare you mock me, you son of a bitch!”
Choi Kang-jun spat curses at himself.
Unlike before, he couldn’t read thoughts anymore—his abilities had clearly vanished.
Even now, seeing his true thoughts that I could finally read confirmed it.
‘How many skills did I actually absorb? I have no idea.’
Uncertain though I was, the time to end this had come.
The life of the psychopathic murderer who had wielded me like a puppet.
Crack!
As I clenched my fist toward him, an invisible force activated.
“Gack! Ugh…!”
Choi Kang-jun’s body, gripped by the throat, slowly lifted into the air.
He thrashed about desperately for survival, but his feet never touched the ground.
-P-please… I can’t… breathe…!
His thoughts reached me, but I maintained a cold expression and tightened my grip.
Crack!
Choi Kang-jun’s neck snapped, and he went limp, his struggles ceasing.
As I released the telekinetic force, his corpse fell ungracefully.
‘It’s over.’
I had killed someone who looked exactly like me.
The feeling wasn’t pleasant, but it was necessary.
‘He bore responsibility for countless deaths.’
Feeling both hollow and unsettled, I turned my head.
The hologram of Creator God El was nodding.
[The vital signs have disappeared, so you’ve eliminated him. Future Choi Kang-jun.]
“Yes.”
[Well done. Killing yourself from another dimension must not be pleasant, but it was necessary. Had he lived, who knows how many citizens he would have slaughtered while stealing their abilities.]
“Are you certain I won’t do the same?”
The absurdly broken skill of ability absorption had now come to me.
It was a question about that, but El didn’t answer.
I hadn’t really expected an answer anyway.
After all, this was merely a recorded hologram.
But as if anticipating the question, the hologram provided an answer.
[There’s no guarantee you won’t do the same, now that you’ve inherited the Ability Absorption skill. But I believe in you. In you, Choi Kang-jun of the past.]
“So what happens now? Will history repeat itself again in another parallel world?”
Zeke had many questions.
This was a parallel world of an already-destroyed world.
If so, the probability of another parallel world like this one existing was high.
There were likely countless parallel worlds, and countless versions of Choi Kang-jun.
‘Surely not all of those Choi Kang-juns obtained Ability Absorption and repeated this mess?’
He envisioned a repeating negative future, but fortunately, the hologram offered a positive answer.
[You’re probably wondering about parallel worlds. Whether another Choi Kang-jun from a different parallel world might cross over here as well. But don’t worry. The parallel worlds that follow will be based on this world—that is, worlds without the Ability Absorption skill.]
“Then, you’re saying I’ll live in a parallel world with the Mana Absorption skill…?”
The hologram had no answer, as if it hadn’t anticipated this question.
‘Anyway, it’s all over now… Oh!’
As Zeke relaxed, he suddenly remembered something he’d forgotten.
‘The Heavenly Demon War!!!’
He had killed Future Choi Kang-jun, but it wasn’t over yet.
The Celestial Forces were likely putting on their finale in the Human Realm right now.
“Creator God! Please send me to the Human Realm!”
[You’ve worked hard. Choi Kang-jun of the past. Now the time to part ways has come.]
“That’s not the issue! I must go to the Human Realm!”
[I hope you’ll use the power you’ve gained for good.]
The hologram spoke needlessly, unmoved by his urgent plea.
If it disappeared like this, he would have no way to return to Pangea.
“Creator God!!!”
[Ah, I was wondering if you might be looking for a way to reach the Human Realm, so I’m telling you this.]
The hologram continued calmly.
[Try using the Dimensional Transfer skill on Future Choi Kang-jun’s body. Since it works even on corpses, you should be able to move to Pangea.]
“Pardon?”
[This is a reward for helping with the irregular situation. There’s one more gift, but… you’ll find out about that later, so I’ll take my leave now.]
With those words, the Creator God vanished abruptly.
Zeke hurriedly read the description of the Dimensional Transfer skill.
[Basic Skill: Dimensional Transfer]
-Effect: You can move to the dimension of a designated target. However, the target must be alive, and the target used as a sacrifice will perish.
-Special Notes: When using the skill, you can see a list of dimensions you can move to. Even if used on a corpse, you can save the target’s dimension.
‘It really does say it applies to corpses too?’
But wasn’t Future Choi Kang-jun originally from Earth?
Could he really return to Pangea by using him as a sacrifice?
‘Wait. Could it be…?’
Zeke looked at the corpse of Choi Kang-jun.
He had been Choi Kang-jun moments ago, but now he lay in the form of Zeke McLafflin.
‘Now that I think about it, he was a reincarnate like me. His mind belonged to Choi Kang-jun, but his body was Zeke McLafflin’s.’
The reason he appeared as Choi Kang-jun during our fight was because he had disguised himself that way.
Now that he was a corpse, the disguise had worn off, revealing Zeke’s true form.
‘If the transfer is based on the physical body rather than the soul….’
I could reach Pangea.
The moment this thought crystallized, Zeke immediately activated his skill.
‘Dimensional Transfer.’
[Here is the list of dimensions you can transfer to.]
[Please select one from the list below.]
1. Demon Realm
2. Celestial Realm
3. Divine Realm
[If you wish to register a new dimension, please speak the activation word ‘Sacrifice’ while facing the target you wish to use as an offering.]
Without hesitation, Zeke chanted toward Choi Kang-jun’s corpse.
“Sacrifice.”
Immediately, Choi Kang-jun’s body crumbled away and vanished.
[A new dimension has been registered.]
[Would you like to transfer to the registered dimension ‘Human Realm (Pangea)’? Y/N]
Zeke opened his mouth without a moment’s hesitation.
“Transfer. To Pangea.”

* * *
The Combat Angels of the Celestial Forces savored their victory in the Heavenly Demon War.
[Advance! March toward the castle!]
[Roooaaarrr!!]
To celebrate the finale night granted to victors, they surged into the human city.
[Destroy to your heart’s content!]
[Slaughter the wretched humans and hold a festival of blood!]
As a massive army numbering 150,000 strong rolled forward like a tidal wave, Astain Balufort, the castle lord, could not help but grow desperate.
“Stop them! Defend the castle from those winged creatures!”
He tried to hold the castle gates, but it was only a matter of time.
Crash!
The title of Combat Angel was no mere formality—the Celestials shattered the castle gates with transcendent power in a single blow.
[Kill them! Every last human!]
Yet the Celestials’ atrocities were halted before they could breach the gates.
By the Twelve Forerunners that Zeke had summoned.
[What are those things?]
[Aren’t those the ones who slaughtered the Demons alongside us?]
As the Forerunners emanated magical power and radiated hostile intent,
Thump, thump—
Maligore Desbon, the sole Aura user among the Forerunners, stepped forward through their ranks.
“This is as far as you go, Celestials. You cannot pass beyond this point. Turn back.”
[What? That undead bastard?]
[An undead speaking language? How absurd.]
[A mere undead dares to dampen our spirits?]
[Let’s just slaughter all of them.]
As the Celestials approached, radiating their sacred aura, Maligore let out a weary sigh.
“So be it. Everyone, prepare for battle!”
At his cry, the Forerunners readied their incantations.
With their prowess as 9-Circle mages, the Celestials could not be dismissed lightly.
Yet this was merely what the Forerunners believed.
Crack! Crack!
Against the Celestials’ movements swift as light, the Forerunners fell one by one.
Even when they cast spells, the Celestials simply evaded, and when strikes connected, they dealt negligible damage.
Crack!
As the final Forerunner’s skull was crushed and fell, only Maligore remained.
‘To be overwhelmed so pathetically….’
I knew the Combat Angels were formidable, but I had not realized the gap was this vast.
I had believed I could at least buy time until my master returned….
‘They are far stronger than anticipated.’
Of course, as an immortal undead, I could not truly die.
However, my body could only recover with a constant supply of my master’s mana, leaving me immobilized for now.
[So much bravado, and now you’re alone?]
Auriel, the strongest first-rank angel among the Celestials, let out a sinister chuckle.
[I shall personally toy with you until the finale ends.]
Before the words even finished, Auriel closed the distance in an instant.
The moment the gap narrowed, Maligore reflexively swung his blade, but….
Shatter!
It was blocked by Auriel’s golden sword and snapped pathetically.
Slice! Slice!
An arm was severed, then a leg.
Though I felt no pain as an undead, my expression grew apologetic.
“Forgive me, Master. I attempted to hold back the Celestials as I believed you would wish, but I was insufficient.”
[What’s that undead muttering about?]
“Please, at least acknowledge the effort I made to resist them.”
“I will.”
[…!!!?]
“…!!!”
At the voice that suddenly rang out, both figures’ heads turned.
A human descended from above, dragon wings unfurled.
It was Zeke McLafflin.
[You’re… the human who activated the gravitational field, aren’t you?]
“….”
[What brings you here? Surely you don’t think you can stop us?]
“You will all die here.”
[Ha!]
A sneer twisted across Auriel’s lips.
[How dare a wretch like you speak when you don’t even know who I am….]
Auriel could not finish his words.
Crack!
His neck twisted a full rotation, and he expired on the spot.
The other Celestials met the same fate.
Snap! Snap!
Pop! Crack!
Not a single one of the 150,000 Combat Angels escaped—every neck was wrenched.
Zeke’s telekinetic power had spread across the entire battlefield.
Whoosh—
The undead, their bodies restored by their master’s mana, rose to their feet.
They gazed upon their returned master with awe-struck eyes.
Even at his strongest, their master could never have slain 150,000 Combat Angels in a single stroke.
“W-welcome back, Master.”
“Yes. I’ve returned.”
Zeke had come back, wielding power greater than any before him.
To the Pangaea Continent.
