Chapter 196: Magician of the Moon (4)

I was waiting . A signal would eventually reach the top of the mountain . My perception was quite large and I would immediately notice if someone entered the area .

Maxium said that he hadn’t noticed the magician of the moon until he was close . In other words, this was a test . I wondered if I could recognize the ‘night’ that the magician of the moon used .

I sat at the top and closed my eyes in meditation . A few days passed as I maintained my position .

‘I just thought that moving my body was training . ’

I had thought that moving my body was the key to becoming stronger . If I didn’t do that then I wouldn’t become strong . Indeed, it was true to some extent .

However, I received some enlightenment from the Tree of Origin . Now just meditating and imagining it was efficient . I could look at myself as objectively as possible and refine my techniques .

It was really incredible . I had judged that I couldn’t become stronger without raising my stats, but I had gone one step further even with the same stats .

No . . . that wasn’t it .

I knew it . But I had forgotten .

It was in my previous life . Was it before I came to Earth?

I knew better than anyone else how the weak could overcome the strong on the battlefield .

But after coming to Earth, I had been too focused on the status windows and skills . They were both visible and reliable indicators so I hadn’t doubted them .

However, my shadow had overwhelmed me with the same stats . I was able to feel the difference between the same stats .

I had literally become a slave to the status window .

So I had neglected the other half of my development . It was my responsibility . I had to fix it .

‘This feeling is . . . ’

At that moment, I narrowed my eyes .

An alien feeling on my skin . Creepy . . .

I wanted to laugh but didn’t . My body had reacted first . It was before I could even consciously think!

In this case, it meant only one thing .

Meeting a strong enemy!

I already met the grand dukes and knew how strong they were in my previous life . Their adjusted bodies weren’t as good . I was surprised when I met the Fire Spirit King, but he was still within my range to some extent .

However . . . the approaching presence was different .

In any case, it had been a pretty long time . It wasn’t an overwhelming feeling . It was just different . Everything was different . I couldn’t understand it so I frowned .

Then I opened my eyes .

I looked towards the direction that gave me the alien feeling .

‘He has arrived . ’

Night was approaching from far away .

I confirmed it with the naked eye .

'Perception . '

Maxium couldn’t sense him but I did .

But that was it . I couldn’t tell what he was .

The weak ability of foresight wasn’t any use right now .

Therefore . . . I produced Pride’s flames in order to confirm it .

‘Who are you?’

A magician of the moon who created night . The secret weapon Upa had been hiding was right in front of me .

He was fiercely chasing the bone dragon .

As he came closer, my surroundings gradually turned into night .

However, my eyes were complex as I gazed at him .

I couldn’t take his measure .

Strong, weak, the type of magic power . . .

He seemed to be complete since there was no instability .

The flow of magic power from him felt like the beginning when the world was being born . I had never seen that type of magic power before so I wasn’t sure how to judge it .

‘I have to face it . ’

An unknown enemy .

If everything was covered in a veil then I needed to peel it back . If I peeled off even a little bit then an outline might appear .

I raised Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword .

‘Dark Sword . ’

The two swords turned black .

I concentrated my magic power on the swords and swung towards the magician .

Kuwaaaaaang!

A huge explosion occurred that devoured hundreds of metres around it . The explosion expanded and compressed, destroying everything .

However, it didn’t have an effect on the magician . His hair was just seared a little bit .

It didn’t make sense . Even I would be a little hurt from that .

My eyes went to something behind him .

Moon . A large moon was shining brightly . He was also dragging the moon with him .

'A life vessel?’

It was sometimes used to save a lich’s life . Many lich couldn’t resist the temptation of immortality and the life vessel would save their lives . The moon felt similar to a life vessel .

But . . . preparing a separate life vessel reduced the efficiency of the magic power . Strong magic couldn’t be used and if the body was broken, restoration would be very slow .

‘It was destroyed and recovered in an instant . ’

I was convinced the life vessel was the reason .

Just before the attack, I confirmed that his body was broken . It was a very short time but the blow was enough to crush parts of the magician . Regardless of what I thought, regeneration was impossible .

However, he was broken and restored simultaneously . It could be called recovery, but it exceeded the normal level of recovery . It was beyond shocking .

‘Then what?’

I didn’t know . That person was really strange . Dark Sword made repairing injuries impossible, except for transcendent beings . In other words, that person had entered the realm of transcendence .

The magician of the moon glanced at me . I was prepared for an attack from him . He definitely knew I was there after receiving my strike .

However, he just passed me like nothing had happened . He only chased after the bone dragon .

Was my attack not even on the level of a tickle for him?

‘Ha . ’

It was really outrageous . I had never experienced this type of disregard in my previous life . If I attacked then an opponent had to respond .

I grinded my teeth and stared at the moon . If that was really a life vessel then I couldn’t ignore it .

The wings made of Pride’s flames burned even more intensely . Walls instantly rose up on all sides . . . but just like a real moon, I couldn’t get close to it . I judged that it was disguised as the moon in the area of night but that wasn’t it .

'This situation . . . ’

I had wide limits in regards to my common sense . Still, the magician of the moon was beyond these limits .

I didn’t know and checked the status window .

‘This is the effect of Haien Moon’s Necklace . ’

When the moon was up, there was an option to increase magic power by three .

This was a real moon?

I attacked the moon but couldn’t reach it .

“Tsk . ”

It wasn’t something could forcibly capture .

I descended .

In this time, one third of the bone dragon’s wing had disappeared .

The bone dragon would soon be destroyed if this continued .

‘I have to hit him . ’

There was no other way . If I destroyed the body several times then he would eventually reach his limit . Then I would see if he could still ignore me .

"Paranormal . "

-Paranormal's blessing has been granted .

All stats will rise by 2 points for one hour .

‘Lightning God . Go and eat . ’

I increased my strength even further . I triggered Dark Sword again around Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword . I concentrated and added the power of Lightning God .

I had never done this before . Now all my different types of powers were gathered around the two swords .

I aimed the power that was on the verge of exploding at the magician of the moon .

He didn’t even bother to avoid it . Of course, a huge explosion occurred the moment it hit .

Kwaaaaang!

It was an overwhelming sight that seemed to create a wall between heaven and earth .

It was ten times stronger than my previous attack .

‘I can only use it a few times . ’

I had forced a tremendous amount of magic power into it . There was still some left but I couldn’t afford to recklessly repeat it .

So what about this time?

The explosion repeatedly expanded and compressed . I wasn’t able to confirm the situation inside .

Soon, the aftermath of the explosion disappeared and I could see the target .

One of his arms had disappeared . To be precise, it was the area where the arm and legs should be .

It seemed he restored his body several times before it wasn’t as effective .

‘There is an effect . ’

I couldn’t be ignored this time .

The magician of the moon turned his head and looked at me .

Approximately three seconds .

Then he focused on killing the bone dragon again .

“ . . . . . . ”

I had felt an indescribable feeling when I looked into his eyes .
