“Now is the start!”
Martin stood tall and put a small smile on his lips.
He spread his arms ambitiously.
The sea of the abyss entered through the open arms.
It was very difficult to restore the magic circle from over a hundred years ago.
Moreover, it was not ordinary magic, but the sea of abyss called the essence of dark magic.
Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that restoration was impossible.
“The basic structure has been restored. Now, just prepare the offering and it will be complete.”
Then Martin’s subordinate reported the situation.
Martin was pleased with the report.
He asked Suha, as if thinking inside.
“You only need to prepare a sacrifice… … . Is everyone ready?”
“Of course. From the moment I volunteered here, everyone was of one mind and one heart.”
“I will inherit your will and make it happen.”
Martin nodded at Suha’s determined gaze.
Because that kind of solidarity had to have a corresponding trust.
“Then I will prepare right away.”
“okay.”
Suha bowed her head and walked away.
It meant that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the Demon King.
Martin’s expression, left alone, was sad.
More than 100 years have passed since the end of the Anti-Magic War.
In addition, Nelson Lomon even repaired the magic circle of the abyss sea at will.
Due to the passage of time and the involvement of other magic circles, the sea of the abyss had been greatly damaged.
Therefore, it was safe to say that the original dark magic circle, the sea of the abyss, was almost lost.
‘Damn Nelson Romon! To treat the essence of dark magic that way.’
Martin’s fists trembled.
‘It is a pity that the original sea of the abyss cannot be reproduced!’
It was the limit of Martin’s talent.
However, he made use of his talents to the fullest and came up with a way.
“It only takes one time. If it was triggered even once by offering a sacrifice, it would be a great turning point in our history.”
Martin’s eyes were full of madness.
Abyss Sea.
The essence of the dark magic circle that was damaged over a hundred years and replaced by Nelson Lomon.
It was originally a complete magic that required no sacrifice.
But for now, there was no other means.
Martin was going to activate it by sacrificing his minions by restoring the magic circle as much as possible.
Well over a hundred dark wizards would disappear, but it didn’t matter.
“I will scatter the blood of haters on this velium!”
Martin’s eyes gleamed red.
That moment.
Suha, who had retreated from Martin’s side, stood on top of the abyss sea magic circle.
Around a hundred dark wizards, each holding a dagger.
“I will never forget your death.”
In a few words, the dark wizards carried the dagger around their neck.
It must have been a terrifying anticipation.
But strangely, no one trembled in the face of death and just performed the premiere.
Now, if Martin’s words were continued, they would die by sacrificing themselves.
Martin closed his eyes when he was about to issue the order.
“They are the same as crazy people.”
An unidentified man swung with insulting remarks.

Meanwhile, some time ago.
Ethan was hiding and watching the Dark Followers bustle with restoration work.
“Just a little more and it’s over. You don’t have to completely restore it, so just focus on what you can do!”
“I’m running out of magic stones here, so bring some more!”
As I listened to the story, it seemed that the work had been completed.
We could hear voices urging each other everywhere.
With the completion of the magic circle at the forefront, there was a sign of rushing.
Ethan, who saw it, spit out a swear word inside.
‘You idiots. You’re making my masterpiece very tattered.’
Ethan was stunned.
Restoring the abyss sea?
I wondered how the heck they could do that.
So Ethan hid among the Dark Followers and watched the restoration work for a while.
As a result, Ethan chuckled.
‘You bastards, you’re doing something completely nonsense, aren’t you?’
The Dark Followers’ restoration work was completely off the mark.
They seemed to be working hard.
But in Ethan’s eyes, it was absurdly insufficient.
But there was something odd about it.
‘Durability is too weak.’
The durability of the dark magic circle was weak.
The basic structure was set in the form of restoring Ethan’s magic circle while erasing Nelson Lomon’s magic circle.
But the core could not be restored.
If the core rune was blocked during the restoration work, the space was left blank.
It was as if he was doing it on purpose.
Ethan shrugged and fell into thought.
‘The key is to take your time and try to restore it slowly? No, wouldn’t that take too much time?’
Restoring the practiced magic is by no means easy.
It didn’t happen all at once, it was something that had to be tried one after another over the years.
It was that part that Ethan found strange.
‘I don’t know what you’re thinking.’
Ethan shook his head.
Martin, standing on a high ground, came into view.
At that time, Suha, who was talking with Martin, came down.
There was a wretched resolve in Suha’s eyes.
‘what? It’s useless.’
It was when Ethan was thinking so.
Suddenly, Martin’s minions shouted around.
“Everyone get ready!”
With those words, the Dark Followers drew their daggers from their arms.
‘yes?’
Ethan’s expression wrinkled.
‘Maybe that dagger… … .’
What had happened before flashed through Ethan’s mind.
When he dealt with the Dark Followers, he found a dagger in his arms.
-what? Is it for self-defense?
At that time, Ethan did not take the dagger lightly.
But that wasn’t it.
‘Hey, these guys. I’m going to be a living sacrifice.’
Seeing the Dark Followers holding their swords to their necks made me laugh out loud.
offering.
There are many types of magic in the world.
And humans have named the energy needed to create a miracle called divine power, magic power, and mana, respectively.
Among them, dark magic, unlike the other two middle-class magic, has often given birth to wizards that pose a unique threat to mankind.
It wasn’t because he was good at dark magic.
The reason was that a more superior miracle could be wrought by simply making a sacrifice.
Ethan clicked his tongue.
‘Anyway, if you get stuck a little bit, I’ll take a living sacrifice and offer it. You’re crazy.’
Priests and wizards had to attain enlightenment that would surpass that level if they were blocked in a certain level.
However, dark wizards usually did not try to attain enlightenment, perhaps because of their magical properties.
There was a widespread belief that simply offering a living sacrifice would be enough.
Inexperienced dark wizards often made sacrifices when using high-grade magic that didn’t fit their fountain.
As a result, strange and strange bastards were causing incidents and accidents.
That was the case in this case alone.
‘I cursed others and ended up being a pyramid. Seriously, who’s masterpiece, can you easily restore a dog or a cow?’
Ethan chuckled inwardly.
In fact, there was one thing that bothered me when I came here.
He was worried that Nelson Romon would use the abyss sea to eat and cumbersome.
‘Even though he has a strange personality, he was thorough about magic.’
Ethan realized that my worries were false.
Nelson Lomon has cleared the sea of the abyss.
The Dark Followers were unaware of this, and were using what was nothing more than a remnant.
‘Besides, there is no way those who insult me dare to restore my masterpiece.’
In order to know about a certain magic, one had to dig into the details of the person who made the magic.
However, there was no way those who insulted Ethan as a traitor had properly analyzed the magic that Ethan had created.
‘Students are worthy of fear, but they have already fallen for it like that. tt.’
In the end, they didn’t even reach Ethan’s toes.
“I will never forget your death.”
Then I heard Martin’s voice.
For Ethan, it was a disgusting remark.
More than a hundred years ago, the atrocities the Empire had committed flashed through my mind.
He learned dark magic because he had to become the Demon King’s henchman, but Ethan did not always cross the line.
He did not use living sacrifices to covet power.
The reason he lost his family in the first place was because of the atrocities of the Demon King who was greedy for power.
You couldn’t touch a living sacrifice unless you were crazy.
However, in the Anti-Magic War, the dark wizards used living sacrifices too easily.
as if it were perfectly normal.
Ethan walked out with a smirk on his lips.
“They are the same as crazy people.”
In Ethan’s eyes, Martin was just on the same level as the madmen of over a hundred years ago.
* * *
“What?!”
Martin’s eyes widened at the insult.
From the other side, someone in a hood came walking.
‘Something is ominous.’
Although he has been through many crises so far, Martin has never felt fear.
But seeing the man in the black hoodie, Martin was overcome with fear.
run away
Run away to live!
Something intensified his survival instinct.
‘shit!’
Martin struggled to ignore the warnings sent by his survival instinct.
Instead, he made a decision.
It wasn’t just luck that he got to this point.
“Activate the sea of abyss!”
A few quick-witted of the Dark Followers quickly decapitated them.
Without any hesitation, he had chosen to sacrifice his life and become a sacrifice.
But most of the Dark Followers were just bewildered.
It was because they did not yet know the dangers of Ethan.
Martin urged those men.
“You idiots! Come on, show your resolve!”
Martin was desperate.
He realized why Ethan had come here.
‘It must have been to prevent the magic circle from being activated!’
It was not known where the information was leaking.
First of all, I had to stop his movement.
But Ethan’s actions were faster.
A dazzling divine power began to radiate from Ethan’s hand.
Ethan opened his mouth.
“Wind of Brilliance!”
Whew!
The wind created around Ethan was engulfed in the divine light and scattered in all directions.
The wind was shining with divine gold.
“Fa, the Priest of the Pars Church!”
“Why is the priest here?!”
Then the dark followers’ faces turned to contemplation.
It was natural.
This is because those who have died by divine power cannot be used as living sacrifices for dark magic.
“shit!”
One of them, who was close to Ethan, sweared and beheaded.
A decision was made even later.
‘I did it!’
A bizarre will could be seen in the eyes of his dying life.
But it didn’t last long.
Kwajik!
He looked down at the pain piercing through his chest.
A hand with divine power was sticking out.
“… … ?!”
“It was a worthwhile determination, but it was already too late.”
Ethan shuddered coldly, plucking the dark follower’s heart.
He hit the player before he died.
The corpses of the Dark Followers could no longer be sacrificed because they were tainted with divine power.
“damn!”
Martin jumped off the high ground and shouted.
“I’ll take that guy! You do your duty!”
Then he cast dark magic.
A black mist from Martin’s body spread out in all directions.
However, it was different from the black solo dance that spread in the New Zealand state.
It was just a black color due to the nature of magic.
“You have good judgment on the battlefield.”
Ethan looked at Martin and muttered.
It was a good decision for Martin to block his view.
It will be able to prevent the sacrifices from dying at Ethan’s hand.
Priests unfamiliar with battles were in a panicked situation.
But Ethan didn’t hesitate for a moment.
“But, are you in a rush to use only dark magic and don’t care what kind of magic your opponent is using?”
Martin was furious at Ethan’s teaching tone.
“Young man is arrogant!”
“Oh man? It’s called confidence.”
Ethan summoned the ‘Wind of Brilliance’ that he had spread.
Before Martin spread the mist, Ethan had already occupied the area with the wind of divine power.
Because of this, the fog was swept away by the wind and disappeared in an instant.
“What?!”
Martin was astonished.
It was absurd to see the fog created by magic disappear so futilely.
Ethan laughed at Martin like that.
What kind of battle Martin would fight using dark magic was already in Ethan’s mind.
At first, Ethan was a dark wizard.
Therefore, it was natural to handle dark magic more freely than divine magic.
Then Ethan looked at his fists happily.
holy protection.
It was the magic that the saint used on the remaining six heroes during the Anti-Magic War.
It was to apply divine power to swords, spears, or gauntlets, and it became much easier to deal with enemies with magical powers as well as being excellent at protecting weapons.
It seems like it was just yesterday that I was terrified of this magic, but it was funny because I was reincarnating myself and writing it myself.
‘Anyway, it’s good enough.’
Ethan clenched his fists and sneered as he looked straight at the Dark Followers.
“I’m sorry. It’s like you’re already chasing after a demon lord, and you’re going to die.”
The real battle began.
