There was no way there existed another ability that could devour fire, utilize its force and not let any fire close. But how was that woman able to imitate Muyoung's power?

'An imitation.'

That's right. That wasn't Muyoung's real power.

If it was Muyoung he would have devoured that fire in an instant.

But that woman wasn't able to do that. She was mixing something from the light attribute and walking on a tightrope.

Although it wasn't at the level of the 'Authority of Fire' which Muyoung possessed, it was surely something similar to that.

“Can you help me? I don't think I will be able to block all that.”

Bae Suzy looked at Bae Sungmin.

Fire burning

The blaze seemed like it was going to destroy the world. That balrog had been alive since ancient times so maybe it was because of that that the internal energy it had stored was unimaginable.

'Master is getting involved.'

Sungmin came to a conclusion on his own.

Giving orders to the undead and the specters and imitating the power of fire wasn't a normal thing at all.

In the first place, Muyoung's power was miles away of being something that could be transmitted.

But the originality. A power that had its own characteristic.

Was that possible merely by inheriting or transmitting?

So that meant that Muyoung had allowed that power.

'But why?'

He hadn't heard anything beforehand.

In the first place, Muyoung had closed the doors of his manor and confined himself.

But there was still a point of contact with Muyoung…When he doesn't know anything.

Sungmin didn't like that. At least, the closest ones under the influence of Muyoung were Takan or himself.

And that woman was just a n.o.body that appeared out of nowhere.

“I will need an explanation after everything ends.”

Sungmin's voice was as cold as it could be. Muyoung was the master that had saved Sungmin, made him, and gave him everything that he currently had. That fact didn't change even if they were 2 years apart.

It was obvious that he would follow him and so he decided to support him by his side. The reason he increased his strength and forces was to prepare for when Muyoung, his master, returned.

'So there was something I didn't know.'

It bothered him and she was also a woman that got on his nerves.

That was true because she continued to disrupt his mind even after he sent her off.

But before that, the consciousness of her being 'someone that appeared out of nowhere' was stronger.

That was the reason Sungmin couldn't get close to her.

“I understand. Quickly…!”

Suzy gritted her teeth.

The beginning was the only time she could feel the taste of the fire.

Even though she had 'received' Muyoung's strength, what Suzy could use was strictly limited.

Muyoung was the administrator of the dam. That meant that he was the one that held the decision on how much he was going to be released from the dam.

In addition, Muyoung was like the sea and Suzy was merely a lake.

If she could receive endlessly then her body wouldn't be able to endure.

“Καλην?χτα.”

“Καλην?χτα.”

Sungmin performed a 'block' once again.

He summoned the st.u.r.diest s.h.i.+eld he possessed and called the witch 'Beatrice' by offering the Hydra.

“Block the fire.”

Kyaaaaaaaa!

The witch screamed.

A ray of light came out of her only eye and her mouth and then split up to stop the fire.

Sungmin's staff trembled. It had started to congest for having surpa.s.sed the magic limit.

However, Sungmin's ability to control magic was one of a kind. This meant that his foundations as a magician had reached its peak.

If it was simply magical talent, then Sungmin was confident on not falling behind Enroth or Amon.

His magic power continued to get amplified more and more while it was exploding.

And so, his magic power surpa.s.sed 700 in an instant.

“Turn over.”

The moment his magic power pa.s.sed 700, his words started to hold strength.

It was an obvious thing as his magic power had transcended although for an instant.

When he suppressed the fire, the ground turned over and devoured the flames.

If Suzy had taken care of the initial phase, then the remaining thing was all taken care of by Sungmin.

Totter.

Sungmin tottered.

“Whew, we could have been in deep trou…Are you okay?”

Suzy opened her eyes widely and said.

A lich was evil in nature but it was following Muyoung. There wasn't only the lich but also an incredible number of undead, specters, etc.

Suzy still didn't know what she was doing or where was this place.

So she thought that there would certainly be a reason.

For Suzy, Muyoung was 'good' even though he was a bit silent.

“Let's rest for a moment.”

Sungmin kept balance with his staff.

A huge dog appeared as he dust off his hands.

Suzy looked at Sungmin riding on a huge black dog with strange eyes.

'That great of a magician follows mister…'

Honestly speaking, it was the first time she met a magician on that level.

No human being would be able to do what that lich just did. Even an Archmage that has obtained 'Amon's star' wouldn't be able to show that kind of 'miracle'.

And even if she wasn't able to see properly at war, the quality of the undead, specters and monsters was different.

Even the Great City would be in danger in front of these numbers.

Gulp!

'Mister just…'

Merely a few years.

Muyoung had achieved a lot of things in that time.

And would have worked harder than that.

Suzy clenched her fists.

She didn't know what she could do but decided to do everything she could.

She determined herself like that.

* * *

Bang!

Enroth slammed down his staff.

He was looking at the balrog.

He watched everything from overwhelming the balrog alone, and self destructing due to the spell.

'Elder Lich…He's not easy to deal with.'

It was just for a moment but the power of the Elder Lich became comparable to his even though just for a moment.

Thanks to that he didn't suffer much damage even at the self destruction of the balrog.

But what about the human woman that appeared out of nowhere?

'Is that woman the one that killed Shar-Shazar?'

Shar-Shazar had died by the hands of a human. Was that human that woman?

A special person that could control fire.

It seemed like she would be able to show great strength in special conditions.

If Shar-Shazar had fallen into a trap, he could have been defeated by that woman.

'But that's not enough.'

It wasn't as much as he had expected.

He should rather be more aware of the Elder Lich.

You could say that the spell to amplify magic power was an art. Even Enroth wasn't able to do that.

'I want that Lich.'

Three demon kings have died.

He needed a new demon king to protect and a.s.sist him.

A lich was a king in the first place. He didn't know why a king was along insignificant beings but he thought that he may be able to lead him to the correct road.

In addition, he thought that the three demon kings together didn't amount to the worth of that lich.

Enroth judged that the Elder Lich hadn't grown completely but wasn't able to do so. It was because there was no magician that could guide him in magic.

But Enroth was suitable in that side. And if his abilities were outstanding, he could take him to the devil Amon and let him acquire magical knowledge.

Perhaps, he may become more outstanding than the 'Monarch of Death'.

The four transcendent beings. If he obtained a being that could surpa.s.s the Monarch of Death, that was one of the four, then Amon's strength would also become greater.

It hurt that he lost three demon kings and even the balrog but obtaining that lich could compensate all that. That lich was more worthy than that.

He would be paying it cheap if he obtained the lich.

“Increase the speed.”

Enroth ordered.

At that moment, a huge 'castle' flying in the sky started to move faster.

* * *

Muyoung was floating in the air while sitting on his knees. He closed his eyes and stimulated his senses.

He had obtained a divinity. Even if it was only a half, he had now become a half immortal.

The world looked different to him now that he became an immortal.

All the things. Even if those things weren't living beings everything 'flowed'.

Muyoung was also only one point of that flow.

Perhaps, being a G.o.d wasn't that complicated at all. The important thing was how well could one sympathize with these things that flowed.

Such as things like air and magic power that was on the earth.

'What kind of being is a devil?'

He suddenly got curious.

The devils were also G.o.ds but they didn't belong inside the flow.

'They aren't able to sympathize.'

They didn't have the ability to sympathize, although they were G.o.ds. That's why they are 'evil'. The world doesn't accept them.

Muyoung entered the flow. He thought that the answer would be at the ring of this flow.

Muyoung's soul started to get smaller and smaller.

And at some point entered a certain 'breach'.

A breach…or a door.

The moment he opened that door he found a transparent being.

“You are not an invited being.”

“Who are you?”

It was a surprising thing.

Muyoung's soul had gotten smaller than everyone else's and entered a breach that he could only enter while his soul was small but there was someone already there.

“I am the administrator of 'nothingness'. And this is the lowest floor of all. This is the place where the ones that couldn't become G.o.ds or lost their divinities fall to. But you…are strange.”

It was the voice of a man but it also sounded like a woman's.

'Nothingness.'

Muyoung repeated the words of the being.

Nothingness. In other words nihility.

There were many talking about this place but no one knew exactly what kind of place this was.

The administrator spoke.

“You are not a fallen one. So you came to this place by yourself? I have seen someone like you once.”

“You did?”

“The name of that person was called Solomon. He wanted the key. Do you also want the key?”

Muyoung frowned.

He said that Solomon had come to this place to look for a key. That meant that he was an immortal that could find nothingness.

'But if Solomon is an immortal….'

Does that mean that he didn't die yet?

“What does 'key' mean?”

“The key exists to open things that are closed. The key he wanted was the key to open the door of 'nothingness' and 'demon world'.”

Nothingness and the demon world!

This was the reason why a pa.s.sageway connecting Earth and the demon world appeared out of nowhere.

But why did he want the key of nothingness?

“Can I also obtain those keys?”

“You can but instead you have to give your most treasured things. That is the rule of nothingness.”

“Do you mean that I have to cut an arm?”

“No way. For example your lover, emotions, name…Those kinds of things. Physical things don't hold any meaning in the nothingness.”

“So Solomon threw two of those things.”

“Because he obtained two keys.”

Solomon obtained two keys.

It meant that an immortal with a divinity threw away two precious things to obtain the keys.

Muyoung shook his head. He wasn't planning on throwing himself just to obtain a key from someone.

“I don't need it.”

“Hm, you are really peculiar. Fine. I think that you will be able to give me something more worthy than those kind of things.”

“I don't need anything in particular.”

“No, you do. Right. Als Nova. How about the book of the Great Magician?”

Muyoung flinched.

Als Nova!

It was a book that had magic powerful enough to destroy the Blue Temple.

Als Nova had gone to the hands of the demon G.o.ds in the past.

In the end the Great Magician 'Merlin' died by the hands of the devils and the world fell towards destruction.

But of course, he now had his doubts on whether Merlin was a good existence or not at this point.

“Solomon told me to hand this over to the next person that comes to this place. That being could be a good or a bad G.o.d or perhaps a human. But he also told me that I could decide whether or not I give this to them.”

The problem was that Solomon entrusted this to him.

However, Als Nova was something he really wanted.

“What do you want from me?”

The administrator spoke with no expression in his face.

“Tell me the story of having experienced the world one more time. You are a really rare person. If I listen to your story I feel like the nothingness would be filled a bit more.”

“……!”
