Chapter 925

Whoooooosh.

Chamber’s eyes narrowed as she observed the demonic energy creeping steadily toward her.

‘Even after moving through space, the demonic energy clings to me….’

Whether due to the Silent Spirit World spell or not, demonic energy from the Demon Realm bloomed from both sky and earth despite having traveled such a vast distance.

I wanted to weaken the Black Tower Master even slightly, but it seemed I would have to fight in a somewhat disadvantageous situation regardless.

‘Well, when haven’t I been at a disadvantage?’

My magic and the Black Tower Master’s compatibility were far from favorable. Having always fought at a disadvantage, this much was familiar territory.

“I’ll dispose of you first, then kill that variable as well.”

As the Black Tower Master drew a triangle with both hands, the faintly blooming demonic energy deepened, beginning to stain heaven and earth in darkness. Mana was pushed back, and thick, profound demonic energy filled the void. The Silent Spirit World he had created continued to extend even here.

“No, even if I let you slip away, I will kill that one.”

The Black Tower Master revealed deeper rage and murderous intent toward Raon than toward me.

“Try.”

Chamber flicked her finger toward the Black Tower Master.

“If you can.”

The moment a smile bloomed at the corners of her lips, a magnificent blue radiance surged upward from the staff floating in midair.

Uuuuuuung!

Though the Staff of Azure Light contained no divine power, it pushed back the demonic energy of the Demon Realm and spread the pure mana of pristine nature.

“I’ll watch how long that ugly smile of yours lasts.”

The Black Tower Master extended his hand with eyes brimming with arrogance. Barren yet sinister demonic energy blazed above his palm.

WHOOOOOOSH!

Each movement of the Black Tower Master was both incantation and spell. Following his gestures, the demonic energy that bloomed sharpened like a beast’s fangs and descended as if to devour Chamber in a single bite.

“You’re hardly in a position to judge my smile.”

Chamber chuckled softly and brushed the back of her hand, and as the mana’s wavelength intensified, the fangs of demonic energy the Black Tower Master had created melted away.

“A worm that’s crawled through a ditch its entire life.”

As she gathered her fingers, brilliant blue strands of light erupted from her staff, creating intense waves that cascaded toward the Black Tower Master.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Each strand of light possessed power equivalent to high-tier magic or beyond, yet not a single one dealt any impact to the Black Tower Master. The blue lights dissolved pathetically without piercing his robe.

“A Demon God’s robe….”

Chamber’s eyes narrowed as she observed the Black Tower Master’s robe undulating like a curtain with wind seeping through it.

“Truly a ridiculous artifact.”

That robe was a legendary artifact with the Black Tower Master’s true divine incantation inscribed upon it. It absorbed all physical and magical attacks, making it impossible to inflict even the slightest wound with ordinary magic or martial arts. Black King Sigel’s robe was merely a degraded version of this Demon God’s robe.

“Let’s see how long you can endure.”

Chamber furrowed her brow and brought her hands together, and magical incantations inscribed themselves over the softly blooming blue light.

UUUUUUUNG!

The strands of light that had simply carried powerful mana transformed. A fire dragon composed of flames rose up, a colossal sword of frost descended, and a green-tinged tempest erupted to shroud the sky. It was a bombardment of supreme-tier magic.

‘Will it work?’

Chamber’s eyes narrowed as she watched the explosions of magic pounding against the Demon God’s robe.

‘No—even if it doesn’t work, I cannot stop the assault.’

What is the most important thing in a battle between great mages?

Some would say mana and magical power matter most. Others would argue the grade of magic is paramount. Still others would insist strategy and tactics are decisive.

But there is one thing everyone acknowledges.

‘Space.’

The mage who can pressure their opponent and seize control of space emerges victorious. It was a theory universally accepted until now.

Of course, I believed there was something more important than spatial control, but for now I had to reduce the space where the Black Tower Master could stand.

KUUUUUUUUH!

Yet unfortunately, the successive high-tier spells I unleashed could not pierce through the Demon Lord’s Barrier, and they dissipated pathetically.

“The Demon Lord’s Barrier has grown even more resilient.”

Chamber narrowed her eyes as she observed the Demon Lord’s Barrier, not a single fragment torn away.

‘There used to be scorch marks at least.’

Before, the highest-tier magic couldn’t completely block it, leaving burn marks or tears, but now the magic itself was ineffective. It seemed he had made further improvements in the meantime.

“Now it is my turn.”

As the Black Tower Master crossed his hands diagonally, black chains bloomed forth from within the azure light. The chains extended in all directions as if to turn this place into a prison, beginning to devour the space Chamber sought to protect.

“Have you forgotten in the joy of a successful ambush?”

The Black Tower Master looked down at Chamber and raised his chin mockingly.

“Your magic does not work on me. No—I am the natural enemy of all mages.”

He twisted his lips as if inviting her to struggle further.

“The lantern of Yeongwha shall not be extinguished even in darkness.”

Chamber crushed the candy in her mouth and raised her wrist, bent at a sharp angle, upward. Azure flames blazed to life above her palm, as if she were hanging a lantern.

WHOOOOOOSH!

The countless black chains, the moment they touched the azure flames, melted into gray ash. For the first time, mana was consuming demonic energy.

‘This might work.’

The Ethereal Flame burns everything it touches—a spell of absolute incineration. No matter how thick the demonic energy, it could not withstand this inferno.

“The Ethereal Flame.”

The Black Tower Master clicked his tongue, watching the demonic chains dissolve before the azure fire.

“Indeed, that flame could burn even the demonic energy of the Demon Realm. But….”

As he raised his chin, the black chains maintained their form even within the Ethereal Flame, unburned. The power of the azure inferno seemed to weaken, and the chains began sinking slowly.

“Did you think yourself advantaged because I expended all my accumulated demonic energy?”

The Black Tower Master chuckled darkly, opening his hand that rippled with black energy.

“Now that the Silent Spirit World is complete, that demonic energy is always with me.”

He erased all the azure flames Chamber had conjured with a wave of his hand.

“Meanwhile, you squandered vast magical power disrupting the Silent Spirit World. This battle’s outcome was decided from the start.”

The Black Tower Master waved his hand as though the result needed no confirmation. Black chains, now covering sky and earth alike, coiled around Chamber and her staff.

“….”

Chamber kept her mouth closed, her focus entirely on the azure flames burning at the tip of her staff.

“In combat with a mage, space matters—but it is not everything.”

The Black Tower Master lowered his chin, observing Chamber dying within the black chains.

“That textbook thinking is your fatal mistake.”

As he brushed his hands clean, the demonic energy in the black chains binding Chamber intensified, constricting with a sickening crunch.

“Hmph.”

It was the moment the Black Tower Master turned his body away with a scoff.

KUUUUUUUUUUH!

Azure flames erupted from between the black iron chains that had coiled around Chamber, spreading through every space connected to them. In a mere instant, all the chains that had bound heaven and earth melted away in the inferno.

WHOOOOOOSH!

Chamber walked out from among the scattering metal fragments, now stripped of their demonic essence. She no longer bore her usual childish appearance. Instead, she revealed the form of a mature woman, raising her elegantly extended fingers.

“I have nothing to learn from the likes of you, so shut that mouth of yours.”

Chamber’s voice had taken on a sultry tone as she removed her now-diminished witch’s hat. When she swept her crimson hair—which fell to her waist—behind her shoulders, her golden eyes gleamed as though ultimate mana itself were rippling through them.

“That form… Did you use alchemy or something?”

The Black Tower Master’s lips trembled in shock at Chamber’s transformation.

“A woman’s transformation is beyond reproach. Don’t ask.”

Chamber casually rolled her shoulders and tilted her head with ease.

“Fine. Regardless of how you’ve changed, killing you will settle this!”

As the Black Tower Master brought his hands together, grotesque entities formed from pure darkness rose up. They were neither monsters nor demons, yet they surged toward Chamber, wreathed in demonic energy far denser than either.

“Every time I see it, how repulsive.”

Chamber twisted her lips into a sneer.

“Your summoning magic is.”

Summoning was one of the Black Tower Master’s primary spells, but it differed from conventional summoning. These creatures ignored physical force and possessed great resistance to magic—they possessed all the advantages of both ordinary summoning and spirit summoning.

WHOOOOSH.

As the Black Tower Master opened his palm, Chamber’s mana began to be drawn toward him. The particles of mana that had shimmered with azure light turned pitch-black the moment they touched him, absorbed into his body as demonic essence.

“Stop playing around and fight me with some real power, why don’t you?”

Chamber furrowed her brow and erected a barrier of mana, but the Black Tower Master’s incantation absorbed even the faint mana within it, gradually expanding his demonic energy.

“Playing around? I wonder if you’ll still say such things after every drop of blood and flesh has been drained from you.”

The Black Tower Master seized control of space through summoning magic and began absorbing my mana, gaining the upper hand.

“You won’t even be able to resist once….”
“Final Technique.”

Chamber watched the Black Tower Master’s mouth move and brought her index and middle fingers together, raising them before her eyes.

“Spatial Rupture.”

The moment the quiet incantation flowed forth, a shockwave burst forth as if an awl had pierced through space itself, erasing the demonic creatures the Black Tower Master had summoned and tearing apart the demonic divine robe he wore.

“This… what is this….”

The Black Tower Master’s jaw trembled as he watched blood drip from his waist. His expression was one of utter incomprehension—the demonic divine robe torn, flesh scattered.

“You wench! What have you done!”

He cried out for an answer, his eyes—ruby-red and gleaming—blazing with fury.

“I told you, didn’t I? Fight me with real power.”

Despite having wounded the Black Tower Master, Chamber did not relax her concentration, shaking her head.

“I have surpassed you. Darkness is no longer invincible.”

The nature of darkness is absorption—accepting all things. Until now, I had been unable to pierce through the Black Tower Master’s darkness. But now, having strengthened both body and mana to amplify the power of my final technique, I could shatter his darkness.

“Nonsense!”

The Black Tower Master erased the wound at his waist, gnashing his teeth.

“Then experience it again. Final Technique, Spatial Rupture.”

As Chamber brought her hands together again to unleash her ultimate technique, the darkness surrounding the Black Tower Master was torn asunder along with the very space itself.

CRAAAAAASH!

The Black Tower Master attempted to condense his demonic energy to protect the space being ripped away, but Chamber’s magic had already transcended his level—it simply erased space itself.

SPLAAAAAGH!

In the fleeting exchange of mana between them, Chamber emerged victorious. The spatial slash she unleashed pierced straight through the Black Tower Master’s chest.

“Kugh!”

The Black Tower Master coughed up blood and bowed his head. His entire body trembled at the pain he hadn’t felt in decades.

Yet Chamber’s assault was far from over. She seemed determined to finish this, unleashing another ultimate technique.

“Ultimate Technique: Demonic Field!”

To avoid further agony, the Black Tower Master deployed an ultimate technique of his own to counter Chamber’s attack. The Demonic Field was a spell that deeply compressed demonic energy to erase everything before his eyes, but now he could only use it to block the spatial rupture.

KUUUUUUUUNG!

The ultimate techniques of the transcendent beings clashed repeatedly, sending violet sparks cascading across the sky. It was as though an enraged thunder dragon had hurled lightning down upon the battlefield.

“Are you truly so eager to die?”

The Black Tower Master gnashed his teeth as he watched Chamber endlessly deploy her ultimate techniques.

“Why would I be the one to die?”

Chamber let out a scornful laugh and brought her hands together before her.

“The only one dying here is you.”

She curled her lips into a sneer and unleashed the spatial rupture once more.

“Damn woman!”

The Black Tower Master roared in fury and unfurled the Demonic Field again. Black darkness spread like a comforting blanket, erecting a wall to shield him.

KUUUUUUUUUUUNG!

The Darkness was torn away, and new Darkness filled the void, yet the magic that devoured space remained unsatisfied—it consumed even the freshly manifested demonic energy.

A collision between magic that severed all things and magic that received all things. Transcendent spells capable of erasing both combatants with a single mistake clashed in rapid succession.

KUGUGUGUGUUU!

Chamber and the Black Tower Master remained motionless, their ultimate spells woven together. A terrifying clash erupted between them, yet the movements were so blindingly fast that outwardly, nothing appeared to change.

Drip.

Blood dripped from Chamber’s nose, and blue veins bulged across the Black Tower Master’s pale skin. Both transcendents were straining themselves to the point of breathlessness, each pushing relentlessly against the other.

Yet even as Chamber coughed blood, she continued her ultimate spell, and the Black Tower Master had no choice but to keep deploying his magical barrier to defend against her onslaught.

Ultimate spell after ultimate spell collided, the very fabric of space crumbled, and violet currents engulfed the entire Sky.

KUGUGUGUGUUU!

The Black Tower Master bit his lip as he endlessly received Chamber’s spatial rifts crashing down upon him.

‘She’s insane. Only madness could drive someone to this!’

An ultimate spell is magic so devastating that even a single use burdens not only the enemy but the caster as well.

Yet Chamber was unleashing these ultimate spells like ordinary magic. He could feel her lethal resolve—to kill her enemy even if it meant her own death.

‘The problem is…’

Even knowing this, there was no other way.

The spatial rifts Chamber created possessed enough power to pierce through his demonic divine protection and damage both his body and soul. If he took another direct hit, he would fall—so he too had no choice but to continue unleashing ultimate spells.

‘At this rate, we’ll destroy each other.’

It was true that I held the advantage in terms of compatibility, but if the battle continued like this, neither of us would emerge victorious—we would both perish.

‘Damn it….’

I had prepared something else besides the Silent Spirit World, but I couldn’t summon it in a situation like this. I had to end this somehow, here and now.

‘A way. There has to be a way…ah!’

As the Black Tower Master continued unfurling layers of demonic fields, my gaze caught upon the black fragment remaining behind Chamber. It was the summoned creature I had called forth at the beginning.

‘That could work….’

An opportunity to escape this predicament had presented itself. I redirected the demonic energy I had been concentrating into my ultimate technique, channeling it instead into the summoned creature.

UUUUUUUNG!

Nourished by the demonic energy, the creatures shrieked in ecstasy as their bodies swelled to grotesque proportions in an instant.

‘Kill Chamber!’

At my command, the creatures tore into Chamber’s flesh and shattered her bones while she remained focused on her ultimate technique. Though small in size, they were summoned beings composed of demonic energy—tearing apart human flesh was effortless for them.

“Ultimate Technique: Dimensional Fracture of the Technique Space.”

Yet even as chunks of flesh were ripped away and her bones crumbled, Chamber refused to release the two fingers she had pressed together before her.

SHHHHHHREEEEAK!

Her ultimate technique pierced through my demonic field and tore straight through my chest. It was not Chamber whose concentration shattered first—it was mine.

“What….”

My jaw trembled as I stared in disbelief. Wounds inflicted by demonic energy carried far greater pain and heat than ordinary injuries. To maintain an ultimate technique while enduring such agony—that was no mere human concentration.

“KRRAAAAAAAGH!”

I commanded the creatures to finish Chamber completely and once more unfurled my demonic field.

“Final Technique.”

Chamber continued her focus despite the crimson blood pouring from every inch of her body.

“Void Fracture.”

The demonic field warped and shattered, her shoulder crumbling with it.

“Wait, just a moment….”
“Final Technique Void Fracture.”

She could no longer even manifest the demonic field. Her final technique tore through the Demon Lord and pierced straight through her own chest.

“Cough… hack….”

The Black Tower Master finally succumbed to the agony and collapsed to his knees. Not merely physical torment, but spiritual anguish crashed upon him as well, his mind ringing as though on the verge of unconsciousness.

“Final Technique.”

Even as the Black Tower Master fell, Chamber did not cease her incantation. With fingers gnawed to the bone by the Demon, she raised her hand and completed the spell to its bitter end.

“Void Fracture.”
“Damn it….”

Along with the Black Tower Master’s weakened curse, the final torrent of demonic energy erupted outward.

BOOOOOM!
