A Hectic Life/Clash Of Myths (1)

I have completed my goal of acquiring the materials necessary for the creation of a mythical grade weapon.

They were not difficult to find at all.

I hope Sage-san makes me a cool weapon out of the materials I gathered.

After getting the necessary materials, Sage-san proceeded to completely ignore me.

Anytime I asked a question, she would just straight up answer it without further details.

She also used her monotonous tone for me.

I've been really lonely these past few months, and the only person I had left was giving me the cold shoulder.

I now know how it feels to get dumped by a girlfriend.

It's literally how relationships work.

When two people are dating and one of them finds a better partner, they dump their original partner and go for the better option.

I guess I'm really pathetic. Even a skill broke up with me.

「Notice. I have not gone anywhere. So please refrain from making baseless accusations along with acting like I'm gone.」

Shut it traitor. You have no right to speak to me.

「...」

Hmph!

Anyway, I recently decided to claim the forest I walked into as my own.

Why?

No one owns it, and the resources in it will only serve to help me in the future.

Furthermore, I discovered that my hell gate is located in the forest, so I decided to recruit some of my subordinates I named from hell to guard it.

I have set a teleportation magic around in case of an emergency.

After asking for further inquiry on my unique skills, I found out that I had the ability to transcend time and space to reach my destination.

It was almost unbelievable, but somehow, I was able to achieve such a feat with this skill.

I was now able to go to earth if I wanted to, but I wouldn't.

Doing so will only mess things up.

If I carelessly did so, I could get myself trapped in a space-time mess.

These types of things are very dangerous.

Even if I could go to my world, I wouldn't want to do so because the amount of magicules might be astronomically low due to the fact that magicules are released from the aura of powerful beings.

So, all in all, I would not do so.

But one thing I could definitely do safely is to make an attack transcend time and space to reach its destination.

This means that even if a person were to be somewhere on earth, using space-time connection along with 『Dimension Leap』, I could always make my attack reach my target.

I am currently testing out a new type of attack.

This is just like an ultimate move in a video game.

Imagine after a long, hard battle with your arch nemesis.

With none of you having the upper hand in the fight.

Then you suddenly end the long battle with a finisher move.

Pretty neat, right?

Well, that's what I want.

I think I'll name this ultimate art『Collapsing Heaven』.

Yeah.

It sounds perfect!!

After spending quite some time in my sub-dimension 『Soul Storage』, my sword has gone through an unorthodoxed evolution.

It became a -- Soul Blade --. Surprisingly, it became a part of my subskills in 『Soul King』.

After this evolution, I decided to name it -- Ares --.

Yeah. I now had the subskill 『Soul Blade: Ares』.

My blade, after being named, went through another evolution into a low mythic grade weapon.

Having more info on mythic grade materials due to the evolution, Sage-san was able to complete her experiment.

I could now create mythic grade materials using 『Material Creation』.

I proceeded to test it out.

I created a magic corpus for myself since the one I was using before was just on the level of low legend grade.

To my suprise, I was able to produce a low mythic grade body out of magicules.

But it took a ton shit of magicules from me.

Now, I regret not using the people in the kingdom I slaughtered as a method for my incarnation.

Well, there's no need to complain over spilt milk.

I went to rest on a tree I spotted nearby.

As I was doing so, I sensed a huge amount of magicules being released from the far west.

When I say a huge amount of magicules, I mean the biggest I've ever sensed in my life.

Sure, Veldanava is a literal God, so he naturally had the highest, but the dude is releasing something second to his, which is no joke.

Plus, Velda always concealed his aura, so I never sensed how much magicules he possessed. I don't even want to know.

But even Lunax's true body is nothing compared to what I'm sensing now.

I always considered my magicules to be quite high, but now I feel like a no-named NPC comparing himself to the final boss of a video game.

I was already feeling quite pessimistic, but Sage-san proceeded to smack me with reality even further.

「Notice. The magicule signature you just sensed is over 50 times greater than yours.」

Yeah, thanks for the "convenient" information sherlock!!

「Notice. Your genuine praise is acknowledged.」

... Did you just...

I'll get back to you.

I wouldn't be bothered if not for the fact that this new mysterious being was causing carnage.

The whole world was trembling tremendously as a result of the havoc this new entity was creating.

The planet would not last long if this continues.

The status and title of "Guardian" were given to me, so I felt a need to stop this being from reeking anarchy.

I quickly headed out to the place where I sensed it from.

Using my unique skill 『Space-Time Administrator』, I quickly teleported there.

As soon as I got there, the feeling of inferiority increased drastically compared to before

The aura this dude was emitting was nothing to scoff at.

The being was a giant with three heads and six arms. He was literally the size of an average mountain.

Great. Now, what to do?

Ah!! Yes! A reasonable approach.

Sariel: 「Uuuuum. Hey there, dude! Wanna chill down and have a talk?」

???:「RAAAARGH!!! I dont have time to spend on an insignificant being like you!! I want to meet that so-called God NOW!」

Does he have something against Velda?

Oi! Come down and take care of your children, you lazy ass!

Sariel: 「Listen bro, i could make an appointment between you two. Just quit messing around like a toddler. You're pissing me off already.」

It was true. Even whilst we speak, he still rampaged around aimlessly.

It began to get on my nerves. I could suppress my anger anytime I wanted, but arrogant dickheads like him deserve my wrath.

I was usually told that anytime I got angry, I became quite scary.

I still doubt this.

???: 「And why should I listen to the ramblings of a lower lifeform? Runoff before I vent my wrath on you idiot.」

Oh?

Sariel: 「An insignificant being? A lower lifeform?... IDIOT?

Perhaps I've just been speaking from my ass.

Why don't you feel the power of this same lower lifeform.

『Chaos Magic: Divinity Nova』.」

I used my chaos magic on him.

I would normally save this as an ace, but my anger made me lose any sense of reasoning left.

Two huge magic circles appeared below and above him.

The magic circles were huge enough to fit two mountains.

I released thousands of dark lights from the magic circle above, produced from spiritron agitation.

Similarly,thousands of holy lights were released from the magic circle below, consisting of hyper-compressed spiritrons.

These light rays collided with each other and on the giant's body, creating a destructive explosion that threatened to destroy the whole world if handled incorrectly.

This was the biggest magic attack I had ever done.

I expected some damage, but-

???: 「Gahahahaha!!! What a powerful attack!! If i hadn't set up a defensive measure, i would have surely perished.

To think that there would be a magical attack that had the ability to not only bypass my 『Magic Nullification』, but to also erase infons!?

You have my respect, little one. I am Ashura!!! The God Killer!

I am the one that will destroy all in this world!!! Now, COME AND FIGHT MEEEEE!!!」

Sariel: 「God Killer, huh? Let's see if your title is just talk.

I am Sariel! The Silver Primordial Demon!

I am the guardian and protector of the cardinal world!!

SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT MUSCLE HEAD!!!」

With that, the clash between the "God Killer" and the "Guardian" took place.

The battle between the one that protects the cardinal world and the one that will destroy the cardinal world began.

Sage-san! We're in this together, right?

「Notice. I will always support you.」

That's what I like to hear.

I immediately dashed towards him and infused my fist with my aura.

I landed a clean hit on him, but it didn't even bug him.

He also infused his fist with his aura. He sent out a blow towards me.

Ashura: 「『Tidal Wave』!!」

I was about to jump back when-

「Warning! Incoming attack!! Unblockable!! Uncounterable!! Activating subskill 『Auto-battle Mode』... successful!」

Huh! What the-

Sage-san had forcefully taken control of my body. But why did she-

*BOOM*

It all happened in a flash. Sage-san instantly teleported behind Ashura.

The land behind where I initially was got destroyed immediately after the attack.

The shockwave produced from that attack damaged me slightly even though I dodged it.

I then understood the situation I was in.

I see. Alright. I'll handle the rest, Sage-san.

「H-Hai...」

Don't worry, I'll be careful from now on.

Sage-san returned control of my body to me.

He turned around and gave me an arrogant smirk. Or should I say they?

Tch. Wait till I wipe that smirk off your ugly faces.

I decided to try something out.

I sent a magic bullet towards him.

As expected, the magic bullet just disappeared before it even touched him.

Sage-san.

「Analysis completed. This is a skill called 『Magic Nullification』.

It is a skill that completely negates the effects of nearly all types of magic by interfering with spiritrons and blocking their movements, creating an "Absolute Magic Guard"」

Really? That would explain why my chaos magic had little to no effect on him.

But weren't attacks with extremely high spiritron density difficult to defend against?

「Answer. You are correct. But as this is the function of a skill, it operates automatically, and it also works more efficiently than when compared to manual operation.」

Okay then. Do you think we can replicate this ability?

Doing this will allow us to analyse the skill thoroughly to search for any weakness, right?

「Activate unique skill 『Replicator』? [YES]/[NO]?」

Yes!

「Analysis Blocked. Activating unique skills 『Ultimate Authority』and『Replicator』... Analysis complete.

The skill 『Magic Nullification』has been successfully acquired.」

Way to go, Sage-san!

「Report. The skill 『Magic Nullification』 offers absolute defence against the vast majority of magical attacks and effects.

Though it is powerless against phenomena that fully obey the laws of physics, such as elemental magic and esoteric types of magic that operate on completely different principles than most magic, such as Nihility magic.

Moreover, this skill can only negate magic that directly affects the user.

While it can negate external magic effects on other people's bodies that can be directly interacted with, such as defensive barriers, it can not negate internal uses of magic by others, such as enhancement magic.」

Wow. Such detailed information. I can see this skill being very useful in the future.

Anyway, does that mean my physics magic has a chance of damaging him?

「Answer. Yes.」

Perfect. That's what I like to hear.

I dashed towards him and used my elemental magic, 『Gale Slash』.

I also used my unique skill 『Ultimate Authority』 to amplify the attack to reach an ultimate-level attack.

The info Sage-san gave me was accurate, as I saw the wind blade cut his arm smoothly.

Ashura: 「WHAT!!! How did you do that!!?」

Sariel: 「Trust me. This is just the beginning.」

I activated my subskill 『Soul Blade Summoning』 and my -- Soul Blade: Ares -- appeared in front of me.

I grabbed my sword and instantaneously appeared behind him.

Ares shone with a devilish violet light, radiating a mysterious mythical glow that would make one wary of it.

When I attempted to slice his head off, he quickly parried my attack with an attack of his own.

Ashura: 「『Maelstrom Buster』!!」

Our attacks met, and I was sent metres away and collided against a nearby mountain.

My body was completely destroyed, but there was no issue.

When I evolved into a demon peer, my 『Ultra-Speed Regeneration』evolved into 『Infinite Regeneration』.

My new regeneration ability is now capable of healing my spiritual body, and the healing rate has increased significantly.

My body was fully restored in a span of ten seconds, and I jumped back into action.

I wasn't able to analyse his attacks, but I got a good knowledge of his attack patterns.

He infuses his magic nullification skill with his attacks to eliminate any type of defensive barrier whilst using his hidden skills to send out deadly shockwaves with his attacks.

It is a good strategy, no problem, but once it is discovered, it becomes easy to fight against him.

Honestly, if he was a cunning fighter like Rouge or Noir with this type of strength, I would have lost a long time ago.

I feel like I've the infamous got plot armour.

*Breaking A Wall We All Know Of*

「Note: Because you do idiot.」

*Fixing The Same Wall*

Looks like he understood this fact very well as he changed his strategy very quickly.

It seems he's not all muscles and no brains.

Ashura, who was an ultimate spiritual lifeform, had the innate ability to manipulate vibration waves.

He also converted his aura into lightning and fired it against me.

If the earth vibrated, then earthquakes would occur, and if the atmosphere was vibrated, electrical discharges would be generated.

It was easy for him to create vacuum waves when he manipulated the airflow intentionally.

I managed to use my control over space and time to sway most of the attacks away from me, but I wasn't perfect at manipulating it.

Even though this all happened, I felt excited. Why?

I don't know.

Maybe it was because I had never felt pain like this before.

Maybe it was because he was too strong to defeat.

Maybe it was because I was on the brink of death so many times.

Or maybe it was because I.... actually enjoyed the battle.

Something I had never considered before.

But it was happening now.

I was struck by his lightning attack, which sent me flying backwards.

But I wasn't about to lose. I immediately countered with my 『Holy Magic: Purity Break』.

I gathered spiritrons in my palms whilst relying on the faith of the millions of demons under me.

Using my『Ultimate Authority』to the fullest of my abilities, I sent out this devastating attack towards him.

A bright holy light travelled straight towards him. This light produced intense heat that scorched the earth.

He also sent his a 『Seismic Waves』to me along with the effects of his『All Creation Destruction』skill whilst using another technique called

—— Hardening Transformation —— for defensive measures.

Our attacks collided. His skill『All Creation Destruction』 against my own skill『Ultimate Authority』.

Even though ultimate authority was an administrative authority skill, the being I am fighting against is an ultimate lifeform.

He didn't need an ultimate skill to make attacks comparable to ultimate-level assaults.

My attack was being overpowered.

I tried to fight back with everything I had, but it was just too much for me this time.

If I didn't do something about it, I would die soon.

Sage-san, can't I do anything about this?

「Solution. Sacrifice the unique skill 『Ultimate Authority』?[Yes]/[NO]?」

W

ait, do I really have to? Can't I do something else?

「....」

Sage-san!!

「Answer. You could sacrifice the souls stored in your soul storage.」

We could've done that!? Why did you want to sacrifice my unique skill if we had an alternative option!? Let's talk later, do it!

After my command, all the souls of the demons I killed since my birth were sacrificed to increase the power of my attack.

Strangely, I felt extremely weak after I did that. I would ask Sage-san about it later.

My blast eventually overpowered his, and he received the full brunt of my attack.

The after effects were nothing short of catastrophic.

The entire area, which is where the projectile blast was directed, got completely erased.

Every lifeform dwelling within the vicinity also got erased.

The excess holy energy that lingered in the air made me extremely weak.

It was only natural as holy energy is the natural enemy of monsters.

Ashura: 「That attack was really dangerous. I nearly died from that.

I guess I'm going to have to take you seriously.」

This dude. Is he telling me that this whole time, he was not being serious!?

I guess it is what it is.

I myself haven't tried using most of my skills.

I'll get serious now.

Let's end this stupid charade. You've pissed me enough. All this destruction wouldn't be happening if not for you.

I'll make you regret ever making me mad.
