21 The world ender spell
[---]
---Do you seriously believe that you'll be able to pull off something in your state?---
Micheal asked, with a tinge of annoyance in his voice
Isaac trembled upon hearing his searing wrath...
He and the others were watching their battle from up close while being protected under the holy barrier of Micheal. And If they had to describe the things that they've seen in just the span of a few minutes, then they could only call it 'god-like'
Micheal was able to cast multiple spells that were beyond their comprehension. They were the magic used by the divine, something that is capable of mass destruction if they were to ever use it again in the mortal realm
His swordsmanship, in combination with his use of divine magic, made this fight look like a spectacle of art. Something that mere mortals rarely have the opportunity to watch up close. Isaac began to pray and thank the gods once more for being at their side...
But even if that was the case, he couldn't help but feel intimidated when he looks at V
Though his body seemed to be injured beyond all repair, he was still able to stand up. Isaac had initially thought that this man was as strong as the sacred saints. But upon seeing his absolute mastery of plenty of high-level magic and how he fights, he could say this for certain...
He was on the same level as the dragons...
And while he couldn't tell because of his mask, Isaac could sense the wicked smile behind it as well as his sinister thoughts...
"Of course, I can. If you think that a little scratch like this could take me down then you're underestimating me, Archangel Micheal. But since you're kind enough to give me your all, then allow me to show you what I've got, and engrave it in your memory for your next life"
A black shroud descended upon him
"This...Is my true power..."
Isaac and the others unconsciously shivered the moment they saw this. Even though they were behind the protection of a divine barrier, they could feel how heavy and strong it was. It was almost suffocating...
And mere moments after that, the very reality that they were on began to tremble. The malevolent, and mysterious magic that V was emitting began to compress into a single tiny orb. It had so much magical energy building up inside that Isaac couldn't even believe what he was seeing is true
"...H-How could a single person even manipulate such power..."
Aamon muttered as he stares at it being formed...
Isaac couldn't help but wonder the same thing. He figured that even the dragons would struggle with maintaining such a massive ball of mass. And yet, V was gracefully controlling it even with all those wounds of his
It's as if the pain isn't even registering in his head, and his mind was absolutely focused on casting this one almighty spell...
Micheal also sensed this and immediately widened the distance between him before launching all of his floating swords to stop him. However, the moment they got close, all of them began to quickly disintegrate until they were nothing but dust...
And they were all quickly pulled inside the black orb by a mysterious force...
V then gently held the black orb up high...
"Consume everything in your wake...[Black hole]"
The orb then began to pull everything around it...
Everything...
The ground
The very sky itself
The air
The current fabric of reality that was holding them
The magic energy which was holding up their barrier
And even Micheal himself, who tried to resist it at first, but was still pulled in. He shoved his golden sword down to the floor and held onto it for dear life. Everything besides V that was close enough to the black orb was disintegrated by the sheer pressure of it and was absorbed, causing the orb to grow bigger and bigger
---Ggh?!...Impossible?! What kind of power even is this?!---
Micheal received no response. And in the end, his grip was no longer able to withstand the mysterious force of the orb and he was pulled in. His body quickly crumbled to dust as he was sucked into the void...
Needless to say, this caused the barrier that was holding Isaac to collapse. His comrades were pulled in and their bodies were destroyed the moment they got close. Isaac used his battle axe and sank it to the ground, just as Micheal did. And he was only able to grab the hand of Aamon who was so close to the range in which the orb would destroy him
"Aamon hold on..."
"Ggh..."
He glanced behind the unstoppable force of nature that was sucking him in. He then looked back at his old friend...
"Isaac, both of us are gonna get pulled in at this rate"
"Cut your damn whining and focus on holding on! We can get through this!"
"Isacc..."
"Don't you dare bloody say it! Just shut up and hold on!"
"...It was a fun ride, pal..."
Aamon released his grip and went straight first into the black orb
Isaac closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he tightly clenched the axe. At one point his grip was also about to come loose. He closed his eyes so as to focus every strength on his body on his hands, only for him to remember moments of his life which were quickly flashing in his eyes. The adventures he had as a kid, the beautiful face of his niece, and the sight of their magnificent city...
He didn't want to die...
He wanted to at least the face of her niece one more time before he goes...
But he knew that there was no way he could escape this
This thing was a force of nature that no one could run away from. It isn't just death itself, it's chaos and destruction incarnate...
So he closed his eyes and braced himself for his end...
But it didn't come...at least, not yet...
The black orb was now gone
They were back in the same room that they were in before. The only difference was that the roof that was holding above them was now gone. And they could only see the sight of the stars in the skies...
And amidst this beautiful sight, the whole world heard the laughter of a man...A crazed man who has reached the pinnacle of all magic...
[---]
A few years ago, back when I was still an infant when it comes to magic, a single thought suddenly popped into my mind...
How exactly would I be able to destroy this world?
And I don't mean it in a metaphorical sense like our 'society' or something like that. What I mean is, how am I supposed to literally destroy our entire planet? Theoretically, something like this should be possible with the use of magic...
And that was when I was hit with the first problem
The level 9 spells in this world that were once used by the dragons or the gods, were only able to destroy an entire country at most
And let's say we're able to use all of the most powerful and destructive magic in history at the same time, I reckon that it's only enough to wipe out all existence of life...
Not the planet itself
And I didn't know if that's what the voices had in mind when they sent me into this world, but I figured I'd step it up a notch just in case
So I tried many different things, like digging up the ancient magic that created this world in the first place to try and reverse engineer it or modifying most of the level 9 spells to make it better. But it still didn't seem to work...
However, one day as I was looking at the bright stars of the night, I was reminded of an indestructible force that had already existed in our universe...
A force so unstoppable that nothing could escape from its grasp. They are so powerful that they dwarf the biggest of stars, and it draws in and consumes everything in their path...
Black holes...
The moment the idea popped into my mind, I knew that this was the one. And after years of perfecting it, I was finally able to create a spell that is capable of destroying worlds. A spell that is so powerful that it wouldn't even be fair to classify it as a mere level 9 spell
It...was a world-ender spell...
And I could only laugh in delight as I was finally able to experience its destructive power firsthand. I've already run a lot of tests with this in the past, and this was the first time that It ever went this well...
I just need to make a few adjustments and I reckon that I could make one strong enough to actually consume the entire planet...
But I guess that's a problem for later...
"A-A power that surpasses even the divine...W-Who the hell are you?"
"I believe that I've told you this already, little priest. I am V. The greatest evil in existence, and the one who will destroy the world created by those petty gods of yours. Now then, why don't you be a doll and just disable the barrier to the scepter already?"
Isaac's body unconsciously trembled. But after a few moments, he gritted his teeth and readied his weapon
"I-I will...I will never yield!"
"Seriously? Even after all that you still think you have a chance against me? You could've just disabled the barrier somehow and things won't have to get uglier, but you still picked this? Do you think that you have a chance because I probably used up all of my mana with that spell easier? Is that it?"
Because he's damn right. I barely have anything to defend myself with...
But I can't let that show on my face. A true villain should always act confident even in the face of imminent death
With each step I made, he made one step back. Until he hit the door of the pope's room
"What's wrong, little priest? Are you losing your grip?"
"Ggh...Graaaaaahh!"
He charged in wildly with his axe overhead
And just as I was about to take it in full force, I heard the cries of a crow. And not long after that, a lovely figure appears between us. Her hair fluttered with the wind as she stops his axe with but a single hand...
"Never have I been happier to see you as I do now, Luna"
"I don't know what exactly you mean by that, but you're probably insulting me again. More importantly, don't you think it's about time that we end this farce, V?"
She asks as she splits the weapon in two as if it was made of plastic
"Hehe...Yeah, I believe so"
