Never Die Extra (Edited)-Chapter 481

The Great Ancient Wizard, the Decisive Battle (5)

The magic of the Great Ancient Wizard from Yo-Ma Great War Zero was very diverse and influential, and if you reverse-traced the magical form that developed whenever he regained his memory, you could reach the root of it. His handling of magic could be defined as ‘space’ and ‘creation.’ Influence with one’s magic in a particular space. Something created according to the will of the Great Ancient Wizard, and according to his magic volume, interacting with the outside world.

‘For example, Meteor. Meteor temporarily puts the space above the sky under his control and uses his ability to create and throw artificial meteorites.’

In addition, it was possible to create countless powerful magical forms, such as earthquakes, storms, and lightning, with the ability of space and creation. That was why the Great Ancient Wizard was called the best in the game. Those who played Yo-Ma Great War Zero just thought it was a magical system that came with the unique ability of the Great Ancient Wizard, but then they learned the truth.

It was nothing more than a variation of the magic that the Devil handled. The ability of the Devil to dominate the space called Demon Realm and to create cursed creatures in it was borrowed by his subordinates, such as the Demon King. Even the ground-handled magic couldn’t reflect Dark Magic, so all that magic was weakened.

‘Perhaps this time, when Dark Magic was awakened from the beginning, the form of dealing with Dark Magic changed.’

Of course, what Evan had handled wasn’t the copy of the Great Ancient Wizard’s (Nave) magic but the actual magic of the Great Ancient Wizard in the game. It was possible not only because he gained the game’s Great Ancient Wizard but also because he understood the magic system while playing Yo-Ma Great War Zero.

“In a certain space, I can create something with my magic.”

Fortunately, the Great Ancient Wizard’s magic wasn’t unfamiliar to Evan, as the people he had been steadily training were also capable of exerting force in a specific space. No. Frankly speaking, given that the ability was concentrated only on destruction, it felt like a similar force that anyone who didn’t know well couldn’t distinguish. Therefore, Evan must have been confused whether he was the Great Ancient Wizard, the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War Zero.

[Huh…?]

“Haat!”

Evan reached out and expressed his magic. An invisible, lattice-structured magic block trapped the terrible Devil’s strength, which stretched out from the tip of his hand. The Devil was flustered and tried to break it, but Evan’s ability could never be pushed back as long as it had an impact within a relatively narrow space.

[You!?]

He didn’t intend to have a power battle with the Devil like this. Evan quickly pulled his hand away from the Devil and shouted to the witches.

“Seal it!”

“But where?”

“To this land.”

The witches cast their magic without questioning it at all. If Evan’s magic was purely dependent on the Devil’s ability, the girls’ magic was built on the premise of multiple conditions: putting certain conditions on their own body. It made magic available only when it was applied to the Devil. In return, it amplified the power they could handle more than three or four times.

[That’s the power my children used to handle!]

“Yes, I will strangle you with that power!”

The sealing magic was successful. The magic spheres that would cause the disaster were trapped tightly by the magic block and immediately sealed deep somewhere in the vast expanse of land. It was funny that Evan did it himself, but it was a little creepy to think that humanity would have lived in Middle Earth sealed by the magic of the Devil after this.

“You won’t be able to find him.”

[…]

The Devil looked angry. Without a word, he strode forward again, taking a step toward Evan while shooting magic everywhere. But the situation was that all the characters that could be damaged by it were already far away. Even the demons weren’t swept away by the wrath of their creator, and the humans hunted them.

And Evan’s show was just beginning.

‘I’ve analyzed enough of his magic structure in the course of the battle.’

A new magic wand rose from one hand and sparkled. His unique armor amplified his power, but it was now nearing its limit due to its overuse throughout the battle. Even now, Evan’s boots, which contained the Devil’s essence, would be brutal to keep open. So, from now on, he was going to win in a single round.

“We can keep it sealed, right?”

“God has prepared me perfectly…we can seal it all day long!”

“Oppa, just be as quick as possible!”

The answers of the two, Sharay and Arpa, were slightly different…perhaps, there was a slight difference in the constraints they put on themselves to practice magic in this space. Fortunately, it wasn’t rocket science. Evan rekindled his magic. One arm of the body was torn apart as it reached in the air.

Evan’s spell trapped it astutely, and the magic of the witches, which soon emerged again, sealed it somewhere in the earth. The Devil was beginning to panic. Reflecting his feelings, dark clouds began to pour into the sky, but it was impossible to regain control of the place.

[How can my magical spirit be so simple!]

“Why do you think I kept fighting you?”

Evan’s ability, of course, could have made it easier to let go of the power of the Devil or even fatally wound him. But instead of doing so, he spent enough time analyzing him. It was all to complete the ‘Devil splitting and sealing operation’ he was doing now.

[My alter ego doesn’t dare harm my flesh!]

“A friend who had become an enemy deals with abilities that we never imagined when we were allies!”

This time, one of the Devil’s feet was torn off. When even that was sealed, the Devil lost his balance and fell to the floor with a roar. The Devil’s body began to deform, but Evan didn’t mind it as he continued to cut and seal them apart.

[It’s impossible…!]

As if it was his last move, the Devil floundered with his one remaining hand. A substantial dark spear along the trajectory flew straight in for Evan, but Evan had taken it out with one hand, sent it back into the stomach of the Devil.

‘I’ve re-sealed parts of his body around it.’

[The gods couldn’t…! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! The will of the damn humans has created a new god, you!]

“What are you talking about?”

Part of the Devil’s body had been removed and sealed, and now it seemed like some sort of giant bug. But then, something glittered in the witch’s spirit before disappearing. Evan’s complexion hardened momentarily but soon returned to normal. Something had escaped through the gap between the spirit of the Devil and ran away. But missing the little piece now didn’t mean much of a problem with sealing the Devil.

Maybe it would be a minor problem when he killed the Devil later, but at best, it was that much. However, it was questionable how he fled. Did he think he had enough room to carry out spatial movement? Or did he have any unique artifacts?

‘I don’t know.’

There was no room to consider this issue now. Evan now took a step toward the reduced Devil and tore apart his body again. Destruction and magic, the unique armor that bound it together and sublimated it.

[You, you…!]

The Devil, who recognized that he had been pushed to the edge of the cliff, voiced sorrow.

[Why do you reject me so much? You and I are essentially the same, and I have your sister!]

“Ha.”

The Devil played Elizabeth’s voice to him again, but now that wasn’t enough to stop Evan’s movement for even a second. Another part of the Devil’s body was torn out.

[I….will curse…you…!]

And only then did it begin.

[If you want to seal me in this world, I dare to be the world itself and curse you!]

Suddenly, the gravity of the earth he was stepping on increased five or ten times more, pulling him down hard.

[You will never breathe on this earth. Heaven and earth will reject you. Every substance in this world will cry out for your name with hatred!]

The charming atmosphere of the Divine Realm was mixed with terrible poison and tried to burn his lungs.

[I will curse all beings and you behind the world. I will not allow you to exist. I will chase you forever and bring you to the abyss!]

A terrible pressure was put on his whole body to crush him the moment he let his guard down.

“Master!”

“Zero…!”

“Ha…it’s been a while since I’ve done this.”

Perhaps the power would have been quite troublesome if it had been converted to pure destructive power, but it was a hundred times as troublesome the moment the Devil was convinced he couldn’t win. The curse of the world, as the Devil said. It was a form of a curse based on the sealed Devil of Middle Earth.

No wonder Evan felt something weird when he said that the world hated Evan. He now understood everything as he laughed softly. And he took off the head of the Devil to seal it.

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

The Devil couldn’t make any more noise. Of course, even though it looked like a giant human being, it had a completely different body structure, but what Evan sealed was the part of his spirituality that communicated with the outside world.

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Nevertheless, the Devil continued to curse him. As soon as the Devil was sealed in Middle Earth, Evan felt the heavy curse of his body coming back, but it couldn’t stop him from acting. Evan reached out again, split the Devil, and sealed him. After sealing it two more times, it was over. Elizabeth’s body appeared in the great spirit of the witch.

“Liz Unnie!”

“No, baby.”

Eir opened her eyes wide and tried to run to Elizabeth, but Rose held her before.

“Not yet.”

“Yes, not yet.”

The decisive reason for choosing to divide and seal the spirit was because only then could Elizabeth be saved ultimately. But now Elizabeth was just a part of the Devil. Indeed, the only way to save Elizabeth was to drive the Devil away and kill him.

‘And it can’t be done now.’

To be exact, it was insufficient. Evan also sealed Elizabeth’s body, which was taken from the Devil with the power of witches. Instead, the seal wasn’t in this world but the Necklace World. It was to exclude the Devil’s influence as much as possible by sealing it in a different place from the Devil.

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

The spirit of the Devil that was cut off still called out the curse on Evan, but they were also sealed in turn. It took less than a few minutes for such a massive body of magic to completely disappear.

“Gone…”

“It’s gone.”

“Oh, my God!”

“Our God!”

“Zero!”

In reality, it was nothing more than sealing magic, but how would it have looked to those who didn’t know the process? Even the gods ran away and didn’t fight back against the Devil for fear of everyone, and it seemed that they only killed him.

“Hoo…”

Evan laughed at the sight of everyone calling out his false name and cheering, but he groaned at the pressure of the curse that began to show its greatness in earnest. He thought there was something wrong with this because the curse he left was stronger than the Devil’s ability.

“Zero, Zero!”

“Is it the ultimate boss rule that it doesn’t end beautifully…? It’s okay, Mirole. It’s something I’ve always been carrying.”

The world didn’t tolerate his existence now. There was still quite a bit of work to be done here, which was unfortunate. At the same time, Miraseul’s necklace began to shine again…he didn’t let it work. He took it off and handed it to Aria.

“Aria, if you manipulate this artifact with the power of your magic…maybe we can take everyone back to modern times.”

“You’ve noticed the real purpose of my requesting the shrapnel of those fragments.”

“Of course…and Maybell.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Maybell quickly clung to his arm and burst into tears.

“Master…are you alright?”

“…Yes, you come along.”

“Of course, I will!”

When everyone realized Evan was trying to do something, they flocked to him, but he didn’t have time to talk to them one by one. He turned to the witches in charge of sealing the body.

“Sorry, I was supposed to take care of you until the end, but I couldn’t…Sharay, Arpa. Keep the seal on the body somehow. It’ll be possible if it’s in your power.”

“We’ve already restricted ourselves with that in mind, god! I’ll see you next time!”

“God Oppa, I’m sure you’ll take some time to get back, right? I probably won’t see you again then…thank you.”

Neither Sharay nor Arpa inquired more in detail; perhaps they saw the curse on him at a glance. Evan smiled at the girls and turned to Mirole.

“Zero, what’s going on? Why are you suddenly…”

“I didn’t tell you the true story from beginning to end and made you suffer. I’m sorry, Mirole.”

‘I’ll pay you back when I see you later.’

When he told Mirole, she burst into tears as if she had foreseen a breakup, but the shield that Maybell had tried before blocked her movement.

“I’m sorry, Mirole. You have to stay here.”

“How come!”

“That way, we can meet in the future.”

Mirole’s eyes turned round.

“See you later, Mirole.”

“Can we meet…?”

“Certainly.”

Mirole seemed to hesitate for a moment at his definite answer, and he wiped away the tears in her eyes before nodding firmly.

“I’ll find you.”

“I know.”

“Yes…?”

The last one was Fayna.

“I’m sorry about the Great Mother Earth. It’s harder when the Great Mother exerts influence on Middle Earth because of the sealing…”

[Let me lead you.]

However, Fayna had said that out of the blue.

[I don’t know where I’m going, but I’ll be of help when you come back.]

“Uh…what? No, Fayna is the Apostle of God.”

[Thanks to you, this mission has been overachieved. The Great Mother Earth will allow this deviation.]

“What?”

[My ability is more suitable for protection and guidance than for combat. You won’t regret it.]

Evan wanted to retort, but the curse that clamped him down now informed him minute by minute that he didn’t even have time for it. The others here were staring at Fayna, but she snorted and grabbed Evan’s free arm.

[Let’s go. If you don’t leave here, the world you saved will be destroyed.]

“Let’s go.”

Evan looked back at the others. There were still quite a few things to do in the world, but there would be no problem as Evan had instructed others a little bit in advance.

“Please say hello to Lian, Leo.”

“Bad boy, hurry up and go.”

Leo’s blunt words made him laugh again. Many other people wanted to talk to him in person, but now he really couldn’t afford it. Evan, along with the two women, headed straight to the crack that was opening up.

It was a crack in the world. Along with the spirit’s seal, all the cracks in the chain connected to him were destined to be sealed, but one remained. Of course, Evan left it on purpose.

“Wow, that’s what it looks like. I thought about it!”

“There’s something I need to get from another world, so I can’t help it…and we have to deal with it at the same time.”

[There’s nothing boring when being with you.]

Standing in front of a crack in the world, Evan looked back for the last time and tried to shout something, but suddenly he was stunned by the curse tightening his breath as he tumbled into the rift. Shortly after, three shadows that rushed out of the party ran into the crack after Evan and the two women.

And then, the crack closed.

The great seal that the Great Ancient Wizard performed in ancient times. It was a moment when the work of sealing the passage between Middle Earth and all the other worlds was somewhat transformed and completed.
