The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality - Chapter 93



93

Archmage Adoris is naturally strong.

The magic he wields varies by tens of thousands.

If you include the derived magic, it would be impossible to count.

The magic he has shown the Stryke tribe is only a small fraction.

He didn’t share most of his magic because they wouldn’t be able to understand it even if he told them.

And now.

He has encountered someone similar to the being outside the world that he yearned for.

Havel of Banphelion.

The being who came to punish him.

Upon facing him, he burst into a childishly excited laughter.

“If you were to utilize the bad luck you possess, the world will surely open up to you.”

His hand covered in scales that were almost gray in color was lifted up.

The moment his hand was pointed towards Havel.

Crack!

Havel’s head tilted slightly back.

He had been attacked without any preparatory moves.

Elasia, who was watching the scene unfold from afar, was aghast.

“Tha, that’s impossible!”

Any magic requires a flow of mana before it can be used.

In order to materialize magic, mana is first expelled outwards.

Then, it is converted into an existence called magic and activated.

However, there was none of that series of processes from Adoris.

The reason was simple.

This was because Adoris used magic based on bad luck.

The entire space of the tower was covered with bad luck.

Therefore, he could use magic anywhere there was bad luck.

It was almost as if there were no prerequisite conditions for his magic.

“Th, that can’t be.”

Elasia, who had come to accept bad luck and was able to follow its flow, belatedly grasped that flow and her eyes trembled greatly.

It was a reaction as if she had seen a new horizon of magic.

Magicians are all quite similar to some extent.

This is because everyone is sincere in their passion towards magic.

Black smoke rose up above Havel’s face.

It was the effect of the magic Adoris had used.

However, after the smoke cleared.

Havel faced Adoris looking completely unscathed.

Adoris’s lips slowly pursed upon seeing that.

“Indeed, that is the Lion of the Night.”

He smiled with anticipation and swung his hand once again.

Zzzing!

However, the sound that rang out this time was different.

This was because Havel’s gauntlet had deflected his magic.

The repelled magic unfortunately struck the mountainside nearby.

Kwaang!

An explosion rang out that was incomparable to before.

The mountainside collapsed and caved in.

It was a sight where one could catch a glimpse of the might of Adoris’s magic.

At the same time, Havel’s legs moved.

Havel, who had bolted forward, arrived before Adoris in an instant.

Then, the moment he swung his hand, Adonis’ reflection became distorted.

No, it wasn’t just that which had become distorted.

The entire space was gradually becoming warped.

The space, warping as if forming a whirlpool, looked terribly nauseating.

“It seems you have quite the sturdy body.”

Then, Adonis’ voice was heard within that space.

His voice, split into dozens of parts, was scattered throughout the space.

“Then, what if I warp it to the point where you can’t even recognize its form?”

His sinister laughter echoed throughout the space.

Flash!

At that moment, light is shot out between the spaces.

The light that was released instantly spread, tearing the space apart.

Crash!

Accordingly, the warped space is also shattered, sending fragments flying.

Havel stepped out from between those fragments, his leg extended forward.

What met his eyes was an unexpected sight.

Adonis’ legs were standing on the sky, but the ground was located above his head.

That wasn’t all.

For some reason, trees were growing above the clouds.

Water flowing from somewhere that fell to the ground, creating a waterfall.

Despite it being nighttime, a sun rising from the ground illuminated the surroundings.

It was a strange space, as if the rules of the entire world had changed.

[How is it?]

Then, Adonis’ voice was now heard in his head.

[Isn’t magic truly mysterious?]

The power to overturn the world’s rules.

That’s what Adonis said, smiling brilliantly, as he called it magic.

Thud!

At that moment, the ground above his head began to collapse.

What emerged from the collapsing ground was a giant serpent.

The serpent gradually moved its body and eventually enveloped the entire world.

Then, it began to constrict the world by swallowing its own tail.

[You’ll have to remain trapped within my magic forever.]

The voice, still unknown from where it came, resounded.

[But be glad. You won’t lose your life for all eternity, for the sake of my truth.]

Granting eternal life, but in exchange for a lifelong prison.

That was what Adonis had declared.

“Ha.”

Upon hearing those words, Havel snorted.

Then, the Sword of the Star that he had drawn sometime ago gradually became tinged with the light of dawn.

“He’s offering me eternal life.”

As the light of dawn grew stronger, the fabric of space began to warp.

The space could not withstand the power of the light of dawn.

“I’m already immortal, so it’s a worthless offer.”

The day he cleared the Devil’s Ground.

Havel became an immortal after eating the fruit of immortality.

So now, eternal life was nothing but worthless to him.

The immortal who had finished the regression now gave him another curse.

“I don’t know about anything else, but I’m not talented at hide-and-seek.”

Havel raised the sword that was shining brightly with dawn above his head.

“Since you won’t come out, crawl out while making the sound of a cuckoo.”

Soon, Havel’s sword was swung down.

Banpelion-ryu Dawn Swordsmanship

Dawn Sky

The scattered dawn pierced through the unconventional space.

In an instant, the light took away the trees, the waterfall, the ground, and the sky.

Soon, it even disappeared, swallowing the snake’s own tail.

The beings that were exposed to the light of dawn vanished from their spots without leaving a trace.

The moment has erased everything.

What appeared before him was a space with nothing but darkness, oddly enough.

It was a place where one could make a mistakenly think that they had erased the world with the dawn sky.

Havel stared blankly at it before letting out a hollow laugh.

“If you’re trying to deceive my eyes.”

And the moment light surged from Havel’s body again.

“You should have done it properly.”

Havel’s body shot forward.

Havel, who had shot out like a bullet, tore through the dark space in an instant and came outside.

The space of the black sphere was a space that had randomly imprisoned Havel.

Outside, where Havel had come out.

In front of him was a snake made of lightning and flames.

The snake, which was absurdly large enough to reach the sky, had a whopping nine heads.

However, the moment Havel swung his sword.

The gust of wind that poured out from it instantly erased everything.

But still, Adoris was nowhere to be seen.

Havel’s eyebrows twitched.

That was because he had noticed what Adoris had done to hide his figure.

‘He hid his figure in the misfortune that filled the tower.’

It was an incredibly ingenious spell.

On top of that, he could freely use attack magic as he pleased.

It would drive anyone who faced him mad.

Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and rain began to pour.

Havel felt vibrations on the ground along with his wet clothes.

He turned his head and saw a huge tsunami approaching.

The size of the tsunami was magnificent enough to reach the dark clouds.

Havel gazed blankly at the tsunami and soon extended his sword.

“I see.”

Havel belatedly noticed Adonis’s intention.

He wanted to draw out Havel’s full power.

He couldn’t tell exactly what his true intentions were.

However, this indiscriminate attack was clearly intended to draw out Havel’s power.

Havel raised his fighting spirit.

Then, several of Havel’s stats reacted simultaneously.

Havel had transcended countless stats until now.

And until now, he had never relied on stats.

He had only done performance tests because his power was already more than enough.

However, today it seemed like a day to go a little beyond that line.

First, he invoked his talent through the Heavenly Revelation created by transcending his aptitude.

It was about creating a new talent using the Heavenly Revelation.

The talent created through the Heavenly Revelation was Search.

It was a talent created solely to find Adonis.

And Havel added the Pinnacle created by transcending his skill to that talent.

The moment the Pinnacle was added, the Search talent reached its peak in an instant.

As a result, Havel’s fighting spirit expanded to a whole new level.

In the midst of the calamity covered by the tower.

It was so vast and dense that he wouldn’t miss even a single existence mixed in with the calamity.

Havel’s eyes flashed.

Havel’s mouth stretched into a grin as he looked at what Search had found.

“You’re there.”

When he said those words, Havel’s figure disappeared.

He used the light speed transcended by his agility to break through space in an instant.

The place where Havel reappeared after disappearing in an instant.

There was Adonis with his eyes wide open.

He also had an expression that didn’t expect Havel to find him this quickly.

“Indeed!”

Soon, he laughed as if he was delighted.

“I thought you had special abilities, but you created a talent using the calamity! It’s like magic!”

And he exclaimed with an excited expression.

“Then how about this!”

Adonis spreads his arms out to the left and right.

Then, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly.

Winter came, spring came, autumn came, and summer came.

It was repeated endlessly.

After Adoris arbitrarily severed space.

He twisted the flow of time using the calamity.

It was truly an absurd realm befitting an Archmage.

A realm that could only be reached by endlessly researching and studying the calamity.

However, Havel had already said this before.

“You should have called yourself an immortal.”

He was not affected by the flow of time.

So even in the endlessly flowing time, Havel swung his blade.

Thud!

At that moment, Adoris’ hand grabbed Havel’s wrist.

His appearance was much different than before.

Over time, his scales had turned white.

And from within the scales, a pitch-black energy overflowed.

“I didn’t do this for you.”

The emptiness of his eyes flashed with a darkness as black as night.

Havel frowned slightly upon seeing that.

The calamity necessary for the growth of nature within the flow of time.

Adoris had absorbed all of it.

An unprecedented amount of calamity overflowed from Adoris’s body.

The calamity that overflowed enough to distort space was incredibly dangerous.

“To break the walls of the world, I must do this much, don’t you think?”

Adoris wanted to draw out Havel’s full power as he had thought.

Then he knew that he also had to give it his all.

“Let’s break through the walls together.”

His brightly smiling face was filled with madness.

Soon after, darkness surged and was absorbed into Adoris’s body.

That darkness became the end of darkness that devoured everything.

Right before the soundless darkness, everything devoured and the world erased.

Havel was standing with the dawn wrapped around the Star Sword that he had drawn at some point.

“Indeed.”

Havel let out a short, hollow laugh as he looked at the window that appeared before him.

[The Tower is surprised by the enormous flow of calamity.]

[The wall of the 74th floor is shaking.]

The Tower also showed a momentarily flustered response to Adoris’s rampage.

The overall difficulty of the floor had risen drastically with Havel’s appearance.

Thanks to that, Adoris had also literally grown into an Archmage.

“I understand that your madness is genuine.”

He didn’t know what he wanted.

But one thing is for sure.

Havel absolutely despises being played with.

“Isn’t it the light’s job to dispel the darkness?”

The light of dawn from Havel’s raised sword began to grow stronger and stronger.

Soon, it bursts out enough to paint its surroundings pure white.

That light of dawn and Adoris’ darkness clashed.

For the first time, a hint of bewilderment appeared in Adoris’ eyes.

That was because the darkness couldn’t advance due to the light being too strong.

His eyes widened as he met Havel’s gaze.

That was because the light was breaking the darkness as it enveloped it.

This wasn’t what he wanted.

He wanted the powers of the two to collide and explode, breaking through the world’s walls.

[W, what? Stop, right now!]

Adoris inspired it in his head as if cursing.

But Havel laughed, not caring.

“Why would I?”

It was the moment the light completely destroyed the darkness along with that honest answer.
