203. Sadarkelisa, The End of Dragons (1)
Sadarkelisa felt threatened by this incomprehensible situation.
All Great Demons, like the celestial gods, have their own domains. Just as Mumto has ‘Death,’ Tyban has ‘Destruction,’ and Urcasia has ‘Plague,’ Sadarkelisa is in charge of ‘Madness.’
Therefore, her presence carries the curse of madness. From the synergy of her petrifying gaze and the aura of madness, to the immense magic power that could freeze time itself if fully restored.
Thus, mere mortals—even those who have attained divinity and bloomed as quasi-gods—cannot resist her madness. However.
[Why?]
Fernandez was still staring at Sadarkelisa with cold eyes. A gaze so sharp and devoid of confusion or even a hint of madness was invading her mind. Moreover.
-Ting.
That sound. The clear sound of a harp that echoed every time she tried to assert her presence was dismantling her madness. Erasing her presence, trampling over her domain.
Impossible. Even if he possesses divinity, his level is insufficient. Level is something that accumulates in the soul through experience and time. How could a mere mortal, barely twenty years old, even considering his past life, not even a hundred years, surpass her level, her madness, which has bloomed over two thousand years in the hellish magic?
[Your domain… Ah, I see! You sacrificed your other possibilities just to oppose Sadarkelisa!]
A sudden realization flashed through her mind. Just like the celestial gods, just like the Great Demons of hell. Once one begins to accumulate divinity, they naturally develop their own unique domain.
The unique divinity that this mortal chose solely to resist Sadarkelisa’s madness is…
[Reason!]
Sadarkelisa let out a furious scream.
* * *
While Sadarkelisa was throwing a tantrum, Fernandez quickly assessed the situation.
‘Increase the output.’
-We need to consider overloading. This is the best we can do.
‘Best isn’t enough. Overloading? Is there anything in our lives that isn’t already overloaded?’
-You’re really trying to give up being human. I don’t like it.
Faijashi grumbled and waved his hand. Soon, one of the rune glyphs on Fernandez’s back burned away. A terrible pain shook his head. But his cold, calculated reason remained focused solely on the goal.
-Crackle!
Like gears meshing together, the rune glyph tattoos twisted. Simultaneously, blue lightning sparked from his legs.
-Sleipnir, ready.
‘Think of it as an adaptation process. Let’s go.’
-Tat.
Diemonica’s body ensures the maximum performance a human body can achieve. But there are limits, inherent limits. A body flowing with divinity cannot be imbued with magic.
This is a growth limit that exists for all mortals. A cleric cannot move like a swordsman who has reached the pinnacle. A cleric cannot become a great mage. This was the penalty Fernandez accepted when he chose to become Diemonica.
But, that limit is inherent to the ‘human body.’ And a mage must always know how to play with the world’s limitations. Fernandez lightly rolled his foot.
Sleipnir. Botan’s warhorse. An eight-legged horse that runs on the wind. The rune glyph representing it burned brightly—
-Crackle!
Electricity sparked from his legs, and Fernandez’s body shot forward like a thunderbolt. Even Kirhas couldn’t keep up with the afterimage of his speed!
-Thud thud thud!
The sound of hooves pounding the ground traveled up Sadarkelisa’s body. Fernandez, in a speed beyond perception, stepped instinctively, one step after another.
-Swish.
The sword in his hand made a cold sound. The resistance of the wind made his body feel like it was being pummeled by a troll. Further acceleration would be dangerous. Fernandez quickly twisted his body, bouncing away to dodge Sadarkelisa’s attack.
[You’ve gained divinity, and even… taken on Asir’s body!]
“Your guess is late.”
Fernandez smirked and twisted his waist in mid-air. A powerful strike, fully charged with speed, deeply cut through Sadarkelisa’s arm.
-Crash!
Blood splattered, and steel-like scales shattered and scattered. Sadarkelisa screamed and pulled her arm back. As she turned to launch another attack, Fernandez was already gone.
[You fly-like bastard!]
Sadarkelisa raised her head high, quickly scanning the top of Yggdrasil. Among the burning branches, Fernandez stood tall, glaring at her.
[Freeze! Collapse!]
Her spell, capable of freezing even time if she exerted her full power, began to focus on a single target. A giant, burning eye locked onto Fernandez, and soon, her eyes completed the incantation.
‘Release Sleipnir. Assist the calculation!’
-Spell to Gleipnir, ready.
You’re helping me.
-Zap zap zap!
Another rune glyph twisted on Fernandez’s back, and soon the current lingering on his legs scattered. His hands twisted as if grabbing the air, and soon six arms stretched out from behind him, each forming a different beastman.
Gleipnir. The unbreakable chain. Originally, a chain is a tool to bind objects, and in modern magic, a chain signifies the linkage of spells.
One by one, step by step, again and again. The beastman steps on the air like a wave, steps again, and then tears it apart!
-Crack crack crack!
The chain woven with magic clings to Sadarkelisa’s spell. If I must name it, it’s the Control Spell! Even if it’s a spell used by a Great Demon, as long as it takes the form of magic, it must follow the rules of magic.
The composition of magic is a universal rule descending from the first realm. Even Sadarkelisa’s unique spell cannot be free from it. And magic with a specific rhythm can always be countered.
Beyond that is the realm of difficulty! Fernandez, amidst the boiling sensation in his brain, maintains a cool rationality like carving ice and steps on the beastman.
It’s a high-difficulty counter-spell that would normally be impossible. Countering a Great Demon’s signature spell is a feat nearly impossible for a human brain.
But now, it’s possible. With Asir’s body and Botan’s blessing!
-Crack crack!
The spell twists, tears apart, and the curse of petrification scatters in all directions. Frozen fire, falling ashes, and preserved winds wrap around Yggdrasil. At this moment, the only beings with vitality are Sadarkelisa and Fernandez. Just the two of them.
[You, mortal! You’ve inherited the power of the one-eyed!]
“Is that all?”
The current sparking from Fernandez’s hand scattered. As the spell broke, another rune glyph densely drawn on his back faded.
‘How much is left?’
-Asir’s avatar can last about 5 more minutes.
‘Enough. Cast the spell as Gungnir.’
-I was already preparing it. Catch it.
-Zap zap zap!
He grabbed the air with his left hand, not holding the greatsword. At the same time, current flowed through his fist. A rune glyph twisted behind his back—
-Crack, crack, crack!
The current wrapped around his fist spins more violently, fiercely.
Gungnir, Botan’s spear. The divine lightning that never misses its target burns in his grasp.
[Enough of your tricks!]
-Crash!
Sadarkelisa’s massive claws roughly scraped past where he stood. But Fernandez jumped up almost simultaneously, landing lightly on her forearm.
“Thanks for the stepping stone!”
And he runs. Along the arm, now outside Yggdrasil’s massive branch. Straight towards Sadarkelisa’s head!
The petrifying eye needs more time to cast again. Sadarkelisa quickly shook her arm to throw him off. A height where falling would surely mean death. Even Asir couldn’t survive such a high altitude.
-Whoosh!
A rough wind blew as if to blow Fernandez away immediately. Running on a scaled, rounded forearm requires superhuman balance. But, Demonikas are basically superhuman.
The body symbolizing the totality of human potential. And beyond that, Asir’s senses surpassing human limits!
-Tap!
Stepping on the scales, balancing, jumping into the air—
[Die! Die! I told you to die!!]
Beyond the clouds, the sky, the red sunset amidst the dark clouds, the twilight sky on his back.
-Asir’s avatar, now at output limit.
‘Enough!’
The divine lightning struck down towards Sadarkelisa’s head.
[—–!!!]
-Crash!!
Instantly, Sadarkelisa’s pupils went limp. The maximum output Gungnir, as the rune glyphs on Fernandez’s back shattered and scattered, leaving a trail as he fell.
It’s not over yet. The Great Demon’s eyes began to regain strength. Gungnir’s strike was enough to damage even a Great Demon, but not enough to kill her.
A strike to suppress madness. For that one piece of the puzzle, another method is needed. Fernandez placed his weakened left arm on the sword hilt. Gripping the hilt firmly with both hands, he fell straight towards Sadarkelisa’s forehead—
Using his entire body as a projectile. Delivering the speed and impact directly to the blade, he thrusts down!
‘Control Spell!’
-Ready! Brace yourself!
‘My resolve ended in my previous life!’
-Crash!!
The King’s Greatsword. The indestructible black steel that cuts through space, drawing a dark trajectory as it pierced the serpent’s forehead. Compassion. The greatsword symbolizing humanity itself tore through the Great Demon’s scales.
The fierce impact shook Fernandez’s body as if to throw him off, but there’s still one more step. More strength to draw out.
About a year ago. Just like what he did to Abelesas’s skull in the underground tomb of Infermur!
-Sizzle!
Black chains descended along his body, using the sword as a lightning rod to pierce the dragon’s scales, and below. Beneath the skull, between the brainstem. Towards the very essence of her soul, the foundation of her spirit.
-Zap zap zap!
[——!!!]
Sadarkelisa’s massive body twitched as a soundless scream echoed. The spell was complete. In modern magic, a chain signifies linkage.
Beyond the body itself, soul meets soul. Mixing into each other’s imagination. Into it.
Leading Fernandez into Sadarkelisa’s Realm of the Imagination.
-From here, you’re on your own.
‘What do you mean, Faijashi.’
Fernandez laughed amidst his fading vision.
‘Right now, ‘we’ are the god of reason. Let’s not say such irrational things.’
-Ha.
With Faijashi’s laughter as the backdrop, Fernandez’s mind was sucked into Sadarkelisa’s soul.
