chapter 167
167 – The Sword -Complete-
Crack, crack, crack!
Clang!
The chaos shield surrounding the demon was broken.
I described it as the most annoying device because it caused chaos in Phase 2. Who would have thought it would be destroyed in an instant? I feel once again how strong chaos is.
“Sword God… That’s an interesting title. Then let’s compete to see who will become the final god.”
-By the way, I have it too!
-The goddess who is called a fool is oblivious.
-What kind of sad thing is that!
“…Goddess of Light, Nemesis. Is this the one who rejected my hand and decided to serve me? You really have no vision.”
-It’s not that I’m accepting it. Our interests just coincide.
-That’s right! And his personality is thousands of times better than yours!”
“A few thousand times. Is that all you can do?”
The goddess calls out an uncountable number. At that very moment, the sky roars and black lightning strikes.
[Eye of the Sky has been activated!]
As expected, Masin doesn’t know how to parry. Yeah, if you don’t know, you have to get hit.
Chaeing!
I deflected the lightning that was falling on me and hit the demon.
“Ugh!”
-Oh, mortal. Can you even reflect the magic of the Demon God? You really deserve to be called a swordsman.
-Wow, nice shot, sir!
[The demon gathers strength! Phase 3 will begin soon.]
3 phases?
I briefly walked away and joined the other wizards. As soon as I did, Linne came up to me and examined every nook and cranny of my body.
“Ido-nim, are you okay? Suddenly, a black lightning bolt struck…”
“Yes. I fought back. The drunkard’s fever is so high that you never know what he might do.”
As far as I know, I remember that the 3rd phase is when it grows incredibly large. I think you just have to get through its attacks and get into its heart.
As described, the demon absorbed the magical power within the black space and gradually grew in size, covering the sky.
Kwaaang!
With just one swing of his arm, the ground split in several directions.
“This is no joke… Miss Linne. Could you give me a lift there? Let’s put an end to this long fight.”
“yes.”
It wasn’t just Lin-ne. I looked at So-hee, Harin, Yu-eun, Seon-yeong, Seo-hyeon, Chae-won, and Da-eun.
“Can you all fight one more time?”
“I feel bad about sending you and the dragon away like that.”
“Ugh. Seonyeong, you’re really dishonest even in this situation.”
“Be quiet, Choi Yu-eun.”
“Haha! As expected, it’s our daughter. She’s not scared of this situation at all.”
“Of course. Whose daughter is she? I’ll be back. Father.”
Eun-eun and Seon-yeong climbed onto Pungryong’s back. Then, Da-eun tried to climb on quietly, but the principal noticed her and shouted loudly.
“Don’t give up, Da-eun! Show me your achievements so far.”
“Yes! But, who are you telling me not to lose to? You’re talking about the drinking story, right?!”
“I drank too. Haha.”
Next up is Seohyun and Chaewon. They greeted the Brainstorm Guild Master, Yesul.
“You’ve already surpassed me.”
“Don’t say that.”
“That’s right. I don’t know, but Chaewon isn’t one of them. She’ll barely make it to Class A or something.”
“hey!”
“The opponent is a demon, but why is that… I feel safe with you two and Ido. Go.”
Seohyun and Chaewon got on behind Poongryong. Then Sohee and Harin got on last.
“Time freezing, I finally got the hang of it. Thank you. For listening to my ridiculous demands.”
“What. I told you. From the moment you saved my life from the Salamander, I’ll move for you.”
“Hey, Ido. Praise me and Neri too! It’s amazing.”
“I wouldn’t have gotten here without you two.”
maybe.
“Hehehe~.”
“Kyuhehe.”
Flap! Flap!
The wind dragon flew up sharply and headed straight for the demon. The demon seemed to notice this and sent out a large sphere of darkness.
I guess I can use chaos to counter it. But it seems like a waste to use chaos for such a simple attack.
“Leave that to me and Lakeril!”
“huh.”
pop!
Da-eun suppressed the darkness. Magic science was not in vain. As we flew towards the heart, Masin swung his arm again, as if he had figured out the path.
Chop! Chop chop!
“Kyuuu~♪.”
“Are you finished with the treatment? Just ask Kim Ido to give you the light of healing.”
“Right now, Ido is at his best. We can’t burden him any longer. And with Neri’s healing power alone, he’s almost completely recovered…”
Chuuuk Kwaaak!
A giant arm is engulfed in vines and covered in flames of silver. Chaos surrounds the arm, so it cannot be burned, but it succeeds in slowing it down.
“Keep going like this, Ms. Linne!”
“yes!”
We’re almost there. The black, glowing heart is right before our eyes.
But the surrounding energy was rippling and acting like tentacles to disturb us.
“Absolute zero… Time is frozen for a moment. Right now.”
“Rush towards that heart. Alright. We’ll make the passage for you. Seohyun-ah.”
“uh.”
“Everyone…”
In that way, it safely entered the heart of the drunken man.
A place that feels like you’ve entered a black blood vessel. As we entered, a bright black light greeted us.
Slowly…
There, the black slush gathered together and a perfect sphere appeared. This was the true heart of the demon that contained all the attributes along with chaos.
Phew!
I stabbed the black heart with two swords wrapped in chaos and destroyed it. In an instant, chaos flowed into my body through the two swords. Is this what it means to absorb chaos?
-Damn drinker. This tastes so bad.
-Are you thinking of preying on even the demons…?!
[I defeated the demon Deus!]
[Final Chapter – You have cleared the war with the Demon God.]
As the black sphere disappeared, the ominous aura that had been blocking us disappeared. From far above, we returned to Rinne.
It’s finally over. It’s finally…
But it was not a situation where I could be lost in the afterglow of the ending.
Gugugugu!
The Black Space of the Demon God began to collapse at an uncontrollable rate when its master disappeared.
“Okay! Everyone, let’s get out alive!”
“yes!”
As we came out of the black space, the blue sky welcomed us.
“Whew… I never thought I’d see this sky again. It’s all thanks to you. Thank you very much, Ido-kun. Or should I say swordsman?”
“Haha. Even though I said that nickname, you still haven’t gotten used to it.”
As the declaration of war ended, cheers from the people erupted without end.
***
Two years, two months, and 22 days passed like that.
Today is the graduation ceremony for Delaon Academy. I am truly overwhelmed with emotion. The day has come for me to leave this academy.
As I headed out of the dorm for the graduation ceremony, a large statue, also a statue of a swordsman, greeted me.
“How about it! Our graduation gift. From now on, all students will follow your example and grow into even more wonderful wizards.”
“I hope that no sword-wielding wizard appears.”
“Haha! I’ll never use that since there’s already someone called the Sword God, so I don’t think we’ll be compared.”
On my way to the auditorium for the graduation ceremony, I heard a familiar voice and looked up.
“Senior! Ido, the head of the Magic Exploration Club!”
Lee Ga-young, the eldest daughter of a remote village.
As he had hoped, he was accepted into Delaon Academy, passed the Magic Exploration Club exam, and became a member of the club.
“Haa… Congratulations on graduating! Congratulations on graduating!”
“I’m going to suffocate. Then you’ll graduate from this world first.”
“Ha… I’ll miss those silly jokes sometimes.”
“Me too. A junior who ticks like you… No. I don’t think I’ll miss it.”
“Really! All the way to the yard!”
He chuckled at her ticking and handed her the Magic Exploration Club President’s name card.
“After I graduate, you will lead this magic exploration club.”
“…senior.”
“Can I leave it to you?”
“Of course. Even after you graduate, you have to come visit often, okay?!”
“okay.”
As I entered the auditorium with her, I was greeted by Seohyun, who had become a new S-class magician, along with a large crowd of people.
“Welcome. Everyone has been waiting with bated breath for the main character to appear.”
“You look good in a suit as well as a school uniform.”
“thanks.”
Also, Sohee, Yueun, and Da-eun, who have newly become S-class magicians, and Seonyeong and Harin, who have become A-class magicians, approached me.
“Kyuuu!!!”
In the two years since then, Neri has grown so much that he greets me like a large dog.
“Yes, yes. Neriya. Good morning.”
“Kyuu kyuu kyuuu!”
“Are you ready, Swordsman?! I, Archmage Harin and Neri, have already finished preparing for graduation.”
“Haha. Yeah.”
The graduation ceremony is held.
The events that happened in the meantime flashed before my eyes. Before I knew it, tears welled up in my eyes and I wiped them away.
-Continue, the next Demonic Martial Arts Association President and Swordsman Kim Ido! Please come out as the 3rd year representative.
I said this to the principal as I received my diploma.
“Please take good care of my statue.”
“Then! You have to take care of it like a child.”
Click!
After the graduation ceremony, we took pictures with everyone. Linne, who was in the audience, seemed to want to take a picture too, so we called her over and took a picture with her.
“The photo of me and I together… I’ll keep it for the rest of my life.”
“Okay! Then Idoya. Since everyone is here. Sohee has something she wants to say.”
“huh?”
What could it be? Let’s hear it.
“You know, I… want to marry you!”
“!”
While everyone was very surprised, I smiled faintly because I had expected this situation to happen.
“Chaos creates laws that never existed before. So…”
I summoned Nemesis and the Goddess of Light from the two swords I was holding.
“Everyone, let’s all marry me, because we can’t miss a single one.”
That was the beginning of a legend of the swordsman that would be remembered for generations to come.
