Episode 229 – Divine
A quick resolution.
We must end the devil as quickly as possible.
The fallen angel is targeting Stia, so the only thing that gets in the way is nightmare.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-!
Just like in real-life nightmares, it grows enormously and turns into a disaster that destroys everything.
“Oh!”
It is slightly different from a real nightmare. The upper body looks like a giant human, and the lower body is like the roots of a tree. The problem is that the roots shake like crazy, shaking the ground or attacking it.
I thought about setting it on fire with my breath and burning it, but surprisingly, it didn’t catch fire, perhaps because it was a real root.
If you have no choice but to cut down the roots first, a wounded devil will fly in and interfere.
“This is really annoying!”
Increases mana output as much as possible. It starts to focus on the left arm, not the sword.
Boo!
A root that swings at good timing. If you try to avoid that root, the devil will come and deal extra blows. Then there is only one law of destruction.
Bang!
He grabbed the huge root with his left arm, which was strengthened by concentrating magical power. A heavy shock was felt and his arm felt cold for a moment….
I wasn’t pushed out.
“Crrr?!”
The devil who tried to attack me as I was hit by a root couldn’t help but wonder.
“If I catch this.”
The magic power concentrated in the left arm moves to Durandal. The sword took shape and gradually changed, taking on the shape of a huge axe.
“What can you do!”
I hit the devil with all my might.
“Kie!”
But is he really a high-level boss? It was impossible to kill him with one blow. It looked like he had a deep wound on his shoulder, and he failed to even drop one of his arms.
‘I don’t have time!’
It is impossible for Stia to hold down the fallen angel for a long time alone. It looks like he’s still holding on somehow….
… What? Why are you holding on so well?
I was curious and looked at Stia, and surprisingly, she was holding up well without any major injuries. On the contrary, I feel like I have a little more freedom….
“Oh.”
At that time, something flashed above Stia’s head and then disappeared.
“Uh, uh… “That can’t be right.”
Is it divine?
Are you awakening to divinity by gaining enlightenment in real time by fighting against an overwhelmingly powerful enemy?
No. Of course, I welcome Stia becoming stronger.
‘I’m jealous… !’
I will do it first!
Kiiiiing—!
The purple star begins to rotate like crazy. Squeezing out even the magic power that is not there, and squeezing it out again.
How did I do it last time?
Probably because the purple star inside the body is not enough. I think I was thinking of creating a circle outside the body.
However, that is easier said than done. The reason you can easily carve something like a circle or a purple star inside your body is because there is blood flowing with magical energy inside your body, but creating something like that outside of your body….
“… ….”
Let’s think the opposite way. Why do you need blood to carve a magic circle?
I have already stepped into the realm of divinity once. It is clear that just because blood does not exist does not mean it is impossible.
If there is no blood, can’t a circle be created? No, you can make it.
Circles can be created even in nature where no acupuncture points exist. Although it requires a lot of concentration and high level of skill.
Another way to say this is that you should not focus on the blood vessels.
It may seem a little crazy, but I decided to try a method that came to mind.
Absorbs all the magical power flowing through the body.
Even if you are not using magic power, once you pierce the acupuncture point, magic power will naturally flow.
Now, even those things have been scraped up and turned into purple stars.
My body is currently no different from that of an ordinary person, with only a little training. If you get hit with just one hit, you’ll die. I don’t even have the skills to avoid it.
But, I feel strange.
I feel as if my body is not mine. The feeling that the body is just a part of nature and that I have only stopped by there for a moment.
If you read martial arts novels, there is a state called the unity of everything and everything. A state where you can empty your mind and become one with nature.
… But what I have emptied now is not my heart, but my magical power. Is the mind a magic power?
So, if you use up all your magical power, do you also use up your mind?
‘… Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.’
When I slowly open my eyes, I see the world.
It’s no different from any other time, but it’s a different world.
The flow of magical energy flowing in nature, which is not normally visible.
Only then did I realize it. There is no blood in nature. I just wasn’t seeing it.
Of course, the flow of magical power was a little different from blood… In the grand scheme of things, isn’t blood also part of the flow?
Then the story becomes easier.
Gently touch the magic of the world. Turn the direction and pull it in slowly. Make it mine
No. I’m not making it mine. I’m borrowing it for a while. The magic power of the world.
The magic power that gradually began to gather began to form a ring above the head. My magic begins to mix with it, adding a purple color.
Buuung—!
A root aimed at me. I slowly raised my sword towards it.
My magic power, which was locked in the purple star, did not move at all.
The magic power of the world responded to my will and tore it apart.
The cut surface passes by my body.
Seeing that there is no blood coming out, it seems difficult to call it a real body.
In the first place, the feeling of cutting was like cutting a stone.
However, it doesn’t matter. Because? Because I’m at the highest level right now!
When I glanced at Stia, her halo was turning on and off repeatedly. I haven’t completely figured it out yet.
But what about me?
Look above your head. The Halo wasn’t clearly visible because it was tilted back, but it definitely exists.
Who am I? Divine Star Owner.
Now I am the strongest and invincible.
Demons and nightmares were no longer my opponents.
Wow!
“Ugh.”
Although he was hit again by a swinging root and flew away, there were no injuries. This is because it is protected from the magic of the world.
“hehehehe.”
Don’t we now have the power to rival even the devil?
From Noble mtl dot com
I should quickly kill the demon and nightmare, and then go help the poor Stia who ‘hasn’t reached divinity yet.’
I’m already very excited thinking about teasing you.
As usual, I am gathering magical power to fly the spear.
“Oh, oh oh….”
The amount of magical power gathered is unusual. I haven’t even fully collected it yet, but I’ve already gathered a level of power that’s comparable to what I had just a moment ago.
It’s not just a legend that has been handed down orally for no reason….
There was also a popular saying that divinity is the first step to becoming a god, but it may not be just a rumor.
I have only just reached divinity, but with this level of power… Maybe we can truly aim for godhood.
Push the sword forward without any delay. The one ahead is the devil.
At the end of Durandal, which slowly stretches out, magical power emanates like light.
The panicked demon struggled to get away, but the demon had already pierced his chest once and cut his shoulder, and his mobility was significantly reduced.
Kwasik!
He died without even being able to scream.
Now that we have killed the demon as originally planned, we must join Stia’s side….
‘Let’s wait a little longer.’
It looks like Stia will soon get the hang of it. Since I reached divinity first, I had no reason to be jealous of Stia becoming stronger.
Once again, I did it first!
Stia doesn’t look that dangerous, so let’s wait for her and beat up Nightmare appropriately.

‘I feel…’ Strange.’
I feel like something is breaking my mind.
It feels like my body is trying to ascend to another level. There are definitely more wounds on the body, but the sword is getting lighter.
At first, I was able to dodge the fallen angel’s blows to some extent.
‘I’m getting stronger.’
What Han Si-woo said was always right. In order to quickly become stronger, you had to experience real combat.
Not a real training, but a real battle where your life depends on it.
Stia held her sword lightly. Now, the only thing left in her world was herself and her other angels.
Han Si-woo, other colleagues, and bosses of all classes excluding fallen angels. It had long since been erased from her consciousness.
A phenomenon caused by extreme concentration on battle.
Even though she felt her body changing, she continued to swing her sword. She emits golden flames and protects her body with astra.
‘It’s strange.’
No matter how much she uses her magical power, it does not decrease.
That was the second surprise that Stia felt.
The fallen angel swings his great sword. Stia extends her fist.
In that case, Astra, who is full of her magical power, will clash with her great sword. Originally, Stia should have flown away immediately.
It’s different now.
Although it was subtle, it was the fallen angel’s great sword that was pushed out.
It feels like my field of vision is expanding for a moment.
From the fallen angels to the Tower of Babel. From the Tower of Babel to the world.
It is expanding endlessly.
She reached divinity.
