Chapter 120 – God Of Magic (1)
The energy of all things in heaven and earth was vividly felt.
It felt as if he alone had become the noblest in existence.
He could do anything.
He could know anything.
Han Seojin closed his eyes.
Even with his eyes closed, he could see everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
This was what this realm was like.
The Insect Dragon King.
When that wretched being killed him, he gained enlightenment.
With that, he added one circle on top of the two circles.
Three circles.
A realm he theorized and created with only theory as he learned magic.
And even he questioned whether this realm existed.
My eyes opened.
Flash!
The wind blew.
Meteor showers overlapped in the sky, forming rings.
[You, you...]
How.
Did he recreate that realm?
The Dragon King seemed to ask such a question.
Han Seojin smirked and laughed.
「That’s not important.」
The words were clearly heard.
Everyone present here, peeking in, or even those not here, could hear it.
The world and the laws of the stars were watching him.
Even the higher beings above were watching him.
The hidden demon race, too.
Or the other Demon Kings plotting sinister schemes could be felt.
「You guys never change. Despite all you’ve been through in the magic realm and the martial arts world, you use the same methods.」
However, judging that right now was very difficult.
And there was one more presence felt.
A very peculiar feeling. A being seemingly formed purely of blood.
‘Is that guy the prince?’
While he couldn’t kill the Demon Kings scheming elsewhere, someone of that level could be killed along with the Dragon King.
Han Seojin raised his staff.
There was no time.
‘More than I thought.’
Time was running out.
He had to prioritize killing the one in front of him.
Han Seojin reached out his hand. Towards the night sky.
And stretched out his long fingers.
The laws of the stars began to change.
The stars began to move according to Han Seojin’s fingers.
[You brat!!]
“You’re still the same. When you see something you don’t understand, you just get angry.”
Han Seojin lifted the corners of his mouth.
[Huaaaaa!!]
The Insect Dragon King raged.
His magic power swelled greatly.
But it was useless.
What happened to the spells he cast here?
As soon as Han Seojin appeared, everything was undone.
Even the dome-like spell that made him confidently avert his gaze.
All the disasters he caused as well.
‘It was just a thought.’
That was all it took to change the outcome.
It was simple to guess why.
The reason was that Seojin’s magic was far superior to his.
And the Insect Dragon King realized it too.
When it came to magic, Han Seojin was overwhelmingly more powerful.
Han Seojin extended his fingers.
Then the starlight in the night sky fell.
「A cluster of stars at dawn.」
As soon as Han Seojin chanted the spell.
A meteor shower fell.
When Han Seojin obtained the third circle, he realized.
‘My path was not wrong.’
That was to say.
He engraved Glacial Heavenly Moon in the first circle.
He engraved Brilliant Blazing Fire in the second circle.
He engraved two magic formulas.
He could not engrave the Divine Thunderbolt.
That was because it was created by the repulsion of the two engraved magical formulas.
Also, Han Seojin realized.
When he was on the verge of death by the Insect Dragon King.
He gained enlightenment.
That realization was so immense that even when he became the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor, he could create the Great Sky Dancing Divine Mantra.
That enlightenment created the third circle.
“You are truly a disgusting being.”
[The moment I saw this form, a firm thought came to me. Others might be spared, but you must be killed.]
“Can you kill me?”
[Yes... I can, indeed.]
The body in the shape of a fetus began to rise slowly.
It opened its eyes wide.
[I wanted to use this a bit later. My power hasn’t gathered yet.]
“Your power hasn’t gathered? Nonsense.”
At Han Seojin’s words, the Insect Dragon King smirked.
He knew that it was here.
The Vampire Prince.
If he had bitten the Vampire Princess, he could become a transcendent being.
That being had transcended.
Right now, even in his own eyes, he had become an existence with a strange power.
‘Though it’s still weak.’
If he consumed that existence, would anything happen?
He looked at the Vampire Prince, but that existence did not possess such power.
“Are you really relying on just that one thing?”
[I’m relying on two things.]
“Two things?”
[Yes, one is that, and...]
The Insect Dragon King spoke slowly.
The reason it currently had the appearance of a fetus.
It seemed to be insisting on its current form to evolve into another existence.
“If you’re going to do it, do it quickly.”
[...Your arrogance will be your downfall.]
Well.
That was him.
“You, you!! How dare you try to offer me as a sacrifice...?”
[Do you know why I took you worthless vampires in? Your role ended by becoming my reserve food.]
Splat.
The Insect Dragon King broke the Vampire Prince’s neck. Then the fetal-shaped mouth grew larger and soon began to munch on it.
“Ugh. Disgusting.”
[I told you, your arrogance will be your downfall. Now, no one can stop me.]
Han Seojin laughed.
At this moment, he was confident that he could win against any being that came.
[Unique Trait, Eternity, has settled within you.]
[Unique Trait, ‘Forever’...]
Han Seojin’s Unique Trait, Eternity.
All other traits had disappeared. The abilities present in the status window were the same.
But only the Unique Trait remained.
‘And this power that evolved from Eternity.’
It could become stronger than anything else.
At the moment he thought up to that point.
Riiip.
The air began to split.
And from the split space, a hand emerged.
“...”
Was that what he believed in?
It contained immense power.
A power that even he could not handle now.
But perhaps because it was coming out forcibly.
‘It feels like the law of power is being drawn here as well.’
Han Seojin smiled gently.
The transcendents were trapped in the boundary.
They were fighting there with their lives at stake involuntarily.
So why didn’t the god move?
‘It’s simple.’
Because the karma was insufficient.
Gods were beings born from the laws of the universe.
They were born from the faith of people.
However, that one was slightly deviated from that law.
You could tell just by looking at it.
That one was a being corresponding to the demon that created the Demon King.
‘Indeed, it’s worth being confident.’
Swaaaaack!!
The blue light emitted from his hand exploded towards the Insect Dragon King.
Then it started to grow stronger.
The Insect Dragon King, no, could that even be called that?
Like emerging from a chrysalis, a figure with the form of a vampire prince sprouted blue wings on its back.
“Ah, this form is truly invincible.”
The form was grotesque.
It had turned completely black, as if only blue eyes were attached to a shadow.
When it rose, its massive blue wings trembled.
“Kuhat, kuahahahat! This is the absolute power that even a demon couldn’t bestow. How should I call this power, celestial? Creation? It’s not something that can be defined by words.”
It was certainly strong.
Even in this state, it felt a bit overwhelming.
‘In this state.’
Han Seojin looked ahead.
“Are you ready?”
“Ah, sorry to keep you waiting. I got momentarily intoxicated by this power. For someone like me to make such a mistake... sorry to you.”
“It’s okay. I’ll be intoxicated by the power too.”
“Hmm?”
