13 – Despair Resolved
After warping, MacDerris (nickname: revenger) subdued Semili and looked around.
As expected, she was alone in a sealed space with no one around.
“That’s only natural.”
In a situation where confidential information about a large-scale massacre magic was being conveyed, it was impossible to have someone else nearby. Regardless of their rank, whether high or low, they needed time to secretly gather the information and figure out how to handle it.
The only person within the community who had witnessed the administrator warp function firsthand was Choi Ye-bin, using the nickname “killer.” That’s why the avenger wouldn’t have known that someone could warp here. It was an unprecedented feature until now.
No, even if there was a possibility, they wouldn’t have been overly concerned. They probably thought that even if someone speculated that it was a beggar or a wanderer, what could they do to the leader of the Succubus Union? She was strong. That’s why she was arrogant and it was time for her to face adversity.
Thud.
She restrained her entire body with magic while pressing her face down. Even though her face was being ground into the ground, she no longer screamed. She was assessing the situation.
“Don’t even think about pulling off a useless trick.”
As a tremendous force of attraction was applied, blood burst from Semily’s mouth. She had maintained silence all along, but now a shallow moan began to escape her mouth.
“MacDerrath… You were in cahoots with that administrator fellow… Who the hell is he?”
Semily still didn’t seem to think that I was the administrator. I informed her of the reality.
“That administrator is me.”
“It can’t be true…? You’re the administrator? Then all those vile words and fantasies you wrote on the bulletin board… Uh… Uh…!”
I forcibly shut Semily’s mouth. I sat on her back and pondered.
“Should I kill her?”
Semily resisted, but it was futile.
The Succubus race itself is one-on-one. And while they are strong in individual combat, their attacks generally contaminate the mind. However, I had already stacked dozens of layers of mental barriers with mana before coming here. It was as if the Succubus’s strongest weapon had been sealed.
Semily attempted to attack, but she was repeatedly bounced off the mental barrier.
Killing her would be easy. I could create a spear made of concentrated mana and pierce her throat with it, and she would die. But would that really be right in the long run?
“No, absolutely not.”
The Succubus Union is currently secretly pushing for war. If Semily were to die in this situation, they would undoubtedly suspect it was the work of the Human Union and immediately plunge into war. It was clear that they would try to execute their surprise attack before it was even slightly delayed.
“If I can just use this guy.”
It is never an easy task to confront someone who wields overwhelming influence within a group or to have a one-on-one encounter with them. Although I had used the warp function to reach this place, there were no penalties for moving within the same novel. Here, I could fully utilize 100% of my power.
So, there was no need to hesitate.
Without further ado, Semyli mercilessly beat them.
“Sto…stop…”
After being beaten for about thirty minutes, a scream burst out of Semyli’s mouth. Seeing her pleading for mercy, a sense of relief washed over me towards the person who had been preparing to ambush her from behind.
Next, I sprinkled a potion on Semyli. It would be a disaster if she died.
“If you’re going to heal me, then why did you assault me in the first place?”
I slapped Semyli’s cheek a few times and forced her to close her mouth.
“If you have the luxury of speaking, it would be better to use that time to think. Well, it’s probably meaningless now anyway.”
I lifted Semyli, who was lying on the ground, looked into her eyes, and cast a spell.
Memory deletion.
It is a fraudulent magic that can erase memories within approximately 24 hours. However, this is a “consent magic” that can only be activated with the consent of the other person. But there was no problem.
“Agree to the memory deletion magic. I will erase your memories for about 30 minutes before and after.”
“That…that’s absolutely not possible. If that happens, you will forget the information that you are the administrator. Once you know that you are the administrator, it becomes obvious that the information about the improved version of the mass slaughter magic is also false. Seeing that you rushed in so urgently, you must be in a hurry too. In the end, if I just convey the information to the alliance, our surprise war will be successful. Why should I do as you say?”
Semyli smirked. I used telekinesis to lift her and began torturing her.
“So, you’re shaking hands with me.”
Semyli laughed without fear, even with my cold expression.
“Kill me. It doesn’t matter since the war will break out once I die.”
“You have a great sense of mission. Let’s talk about that sense of mission when it’s broken.”
Semyli, who was full of confidence, unfortunately, in this world, the most brutal torture can only be done by magicians.
Physical torture is nothing compared to mental torture. Its power is multiplied, no, multiplied by dozens.
When I flick my finger, the surrounding space transforms into an open field.

“Huh…?”
Sebilly is staring blankly at something. A bizarre, grotesque creature in front of her. It stood before her, more grotesque and terrifying than any other creature, composed of thousands, tens of thousands of teeth.
“It’s… It’s just an illusion. It’s false… It’s false…”
As a succubus who primarily uses mental attacks, her judgment was accurate, but that didn’t mean she could escape mental torture.
Quaduk… Quaddeuduk…
The monster begins to chew Sebilly with its tens of thousands of teeth. Sebilly couldn’t even scream and her whole body went limp.
However.
“Hu-eok… Cough… Keo-eok….”
Sebilly’s body regenerates. This place is an illusion. She will endlessly experience the pain of death.
After three hours, Sebilly no longer had the same determination. She begged for her life as if she were someone else.
“Please… Please stop… I’ll agree… I’ll agree, so please spare me… Please spare me… No… Please kill me… Please, please kill me…”
Sebilly, who faced death for the 395th time, began to crawl on the ground, shedding tears and screaming. Ignoring her words, I manipulated the illusion again.
“Heok… Heok… Uh… Uh… Euh…”
Sebilly, who faced death for the 503rd time. She had reached a point where she couldn’t even speak properly anymore.
“You don’t have to do as I say. Instead, you’ll be trapped here for the rest of your life without being able to live or die. This is your last chance. What will you do?”
Finally, I released her from the illusion. Only about 10 minutes had passed in reality, and her body was unharmed, but her mind was not. Sebilly dropped tears and banged her head on the ground.
“I… I… I’ll… do… wha… whate… whatever you… ask…”
“Agree to the Memory Erasure Magic. At the same time, agree to the Imprinting Magic.”
Sebastian cast two “Consent Magic” spells on a completely mentally submissive Cécile.
One was Memory Erasure.
She agreed to have her memories of the past 30 minutes removed, of her own volition.
Next was the second Consent Magic spell: “Imprinting.”
He imprinted one specific emotion onto her.
“The emotion I will imprint on you is fear. From now on, you will feel intense fear towards war. And when you wake up, I will imprint a sense of familiarity with the post-war situation. Do you agree?”
After hundreds of deaths, there was no room for refusal for Cécile, who was already completely submissive. Sébastien nodded vigorously.
Thunk!
He then slammed Cécile’s head against the wall, causing her to lose consciousness. Although there was no skill name for this type of magic, if one were to come up with it… it could be called Sleep Magic (Physical), perhaps?
Leaving Cécile, who had been put to sleep through magic (physical), behind, he used the Warp Magic he had cast in advance.

Kwaaang!
“Are you here?”
Despite the loud noise, Choi Yebin looked at me without any signs of surprise. She sat in the room, doing nothing.
Thanks to the Warp Gate installed by Killer in one of the rooms in the tower, I could return to my original location with just a small amount of magic. I didn’t use the Administrator Warp function. The Administrator Warp function was the kind that could only be used again after a minimum of 24 hours had passed.
Unlike when I went to save Killer, this time I moved within the same novel, so there were no restrictions on personal magic, and I was able to freely use Warp.
“I’m sorry.”
When I spoke, Choi Yebin (Killer) questioned me with a doubtful expression.
“I wasn’t surprised. By the way, did you meet someone named the Avenger?”
She nodded silently, and Choi Yebin tilted her head as if she was puzzled.
“What if something big happened when you went there with a short message? I saw the comments before, and that person seemed really dangerous.”
“There wasn’t anything particularly dangerous. But it was something that had to be done, even if it meant taking risks.”
“To prevent a war…? So… did it work out well?”
“I stopped it. Right now, they’re unconscious, but when they wake up, they’ll withdraw their plans for war.”
I immediately entered the community and, using my administrator privileges, deleted some of the comments I exchanged with the avenger. Well, I left the comment asking for agreement intact, since if I deleted it, the avenger might think something was strange later.
After deleting some comments, I sent her a picture.
[Original file of the Improved Massacre Magic Journal.jpg]
ㅇㅇ[Admin] – Since you disappeared while we were talking, I’m just sending you this picture. Please check it later and don’t bother me anymore…
Finishing off with a pathetic act. Now that the avenger, who woke up from unconsciousness, sees the picture I sent to the community, they will be able to deduce the situation before and after, and naturally, the war will be delayed.
If they see the manipulated comments in a situation where they are feeling the fear of war, without feeling any strangeness about being unconscious, they will certainly cancel the surprise attack war.
Choi Ye-bin, who had been watching me act quickly in a daze, asked a question.
“Was this really dangerous? Where is the crazy magician warping to a place where they don’t even know English?”
“If I can prevent a war by risking my own life, isn’t that a gain? If a war had happened, the primary target of the attack would have been Matap. I probably wouldn’t have been able to guarantee my own life.”
Choi Ye-bin pondered his words for a moment and murmured.
“You wanted to protect people, right?”
“What am I protecting? I just acted because I might die.”
Choi Ye-bin chuckled after hearing his words. It was because his words were being judged as lies.
“You’re a good person… so why are you like that on the bulletin board?”
“What are you talking about?”
When McDerlas, who hadn’t properly listened due to the commotion, asked the question again, Choi Ye-bin answered.
“Why are you acting so strangely on the bulletin board?”
“Well, because it’s fun, isn’t it? But more importantly, leave some comments on my posts. It’s annoying how these bastards only leave malicious comments.”
“Sigh…”
Choi Ye-bin quietly sighed and entered the malicious gallery, starting to leave comments on the administrator’s posts one by one.
killer – The administrator is such a warm-hearted person!
killer – The administrator is wise and clever!
killer – I am a devoted fan of the administrator!
ㄴㅇㅇ – Yeah, the secondary account of the administrator is here. This bastard doesn’t even think about hiding anymore.
ㄴㅇㅇ – Is this idiot concepting or has he gone crazy now? Praising that foul-mouthed administrator.
ㄴㅇㅇ – I feel like the administrator’s stench is overwhelming.
Today, Choi Ye-bin was once again tormented by defamation.
— — —
Three days had passed. Prepared for any possible situation, they dedicated all their forces to defense, but there were no attacks from the Succubus Union. It was supposed to happen as planned, entering yesterday.
The war was postponed. They didn’t know when the next outbreak would be, but for now, they had overcome the immediate crisis.
MacDeras. Using the administrator’s unique function, he sent a one-on-one chat to love peace.
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Thanks to you, we prevented the war without much damage.
love peace – Oh?! One-on-one chat works? By the way… you, the administrator, were MacDeras?
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Seems like it?
love peace – No…? Revenger said that the administrator couldn’t possibly be MacDeras!
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – That’s right. I’m not MacDeras, but I had a way to contact that person, so I let them know what you said. They took care of it on their own after I told them.
love peace – As I thought…! You knew someone named MacDeras? But…could it be that Revenger, what happened to them? Preventing the war…does that mean MacDeras killed Revenger?
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – There’s no way they were killed. If they were, a war would have broken out immediately.
love peace – Really?! Then that’s a relief. The war ended without anyone getting hurt.
To be precise, not everyone escaped unscathed, but well…at this point, it’s something that Revenger doesn’t remember, so there was no need to argue with Love Peace’s words.
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Is there something you want to have? Thanks to you, we managed to overcome a big crisis. As a reward, I can use the transfer function to send you what you want.
love peace – Um…is that okay? Do you happen to have something like a magic book where I can learn magic?
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Yeah, I have that. Why?
love peace – Actually…there’s an academy entrance exam coming up in a few days…it’s a really important episode in our novel…
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – What’s the title of the possessed novel?
love peace – Um…I can’t tell you that!
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – You know the novel I’m possessed in, right?
love peace – If you put it that way…
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Okay, I get it. Just send me the things you want.
Actually, Love Peace was a verified user, so if I wanted to, I could have checked her information, but I didn’t bother. She wasn’t the type of person to invade someone’s privacy, especially someone who had helped her so much.
After finishing the chat, I stared at the administrator function. For some reason, I had gained new abilities after stopping this war.
Administrator’s unique authority: [Link]
[Link: You can link someone with a link. When using the warp ability, you warp together with the person you’re linked to.]
Love Peace is a magician. And she has an important exam right in front of her. What she needs is not just a magic book, but a one-on-one training session with a great magician. Surely, she would want that.
Just in case, MacDeras packed two elixirs and one magic book in a box as before and started chatting.
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – I’ll send you the magic book and a surprise gift of elixirs.
Love Peace – Really? Thank you!
I went to Choi Ye-bin, who was in the room, and talked to her.
“Choi Ye-bin, can you help me this time?”
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m going to a novel where the person who helped me is going. Do you want to come with me? There might be an emergency situation, so it’s better to go together than alone.”
“Aren’t there more talented people than me?”
“You’re the only one who knows that I’m pretending to be weak.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Choi Ye-bin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
“If I can go with you… I’ll help.”
Then, MacDerris linked with Choi Ye-bin, and sent a message to Love Peace.
[The administrator wants to use the warp function with an item. Do you accept?]
As Love Peace pressed accept,
MacDerris’s body moved.
Eventually, he found himself in a distant place, with dusty air and an unpleasant alley in sight. After a while, a man he had never seen before approached him and spoke.
“Who the f*ck is this asshole? Don’t you know this is our territory?”
I looked down at the man and replied.
“If it’s your territory, what can you do?”
