Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 74

Mortals can’t kill god? That’s skill issue!!
‘Combination magic’ is generally used when wizards cast large-scale magic.

Like creating a giant altar or a massive seal.

But sometimes these types of magic are also used to fight extremely strong enemies.

Combination magic is always unstable due to the conflicting nature of different wizards’ mana’s, and if even one mage in the group stops releasing their mana, the entire group becomes unstable.

Then the whole magic will collapse, as it is quite unstable.

But in the history books, there is a mention of an existence that can make the combination magic stable.

Every mage in the world wants to reach perfect control over mana, but it is not possible unless you awaken the legendary rank skill, mana singularity.

Mana singularity can not only stabilize combination magic; it can even amplify its effects.

{The one who holds mana singularity can rule over the law of mana itself…}

Mana singularity has only appeared a few times in the long annals of history, but each time it appears, it gives immense power to its user.

In his whole life, Reynald had always believed in himself the most, but today, he believed in someone else’s words and decided to place his trust on Jareth’s shoulder.

A thought came to Reynald’s mind.

‘Father… You once said that a mortal cannot kill a god… But father, I will prove you wrong!’

Reynald stretched out his hand and extracted his wand from his space ring.

He pointed his wand towards the altar and cast his magic.

A gigantic magic circle appeared in front of the city wall.

Following Reynald’s lead, Shin and others also poured their mana into the giant magic circle and enhanced it with their own mana.

The more mana they poured, the more unstable the magic circle became, and just as it was about to reach its limit,

Jareth also stretched out his hand and instantly stabilized the whole magic circle with his own mana.

[Mana Command: Law of Mana Stability!]

With the help of mana singularity, Jareth commanded mana to do as he wanted.

And as if Mana had really acknowledged his words, it stopped resisting, and the chaos in the magic circle ended.

Seeing Jareth’s success, Reynald and others were pleasantly surprised, and they all started to pour their mana into the magic circle without any worries in the world.

Reynald’s Earth magic became the core, while the other four’s magic worked as support to boost the spell’s power.

Even the soldiers that were retreating far away could feel the immense might of that magic.

…

Rahnan’s smirk didn’t change even after all that.

While standing on the altar, Rahnan’s sneered at Jareth and others who were attempting to destroy the altar.

“How pathetic; they really have no idea how much power is held within ten thousand innocent souls… They really don’t know that their attempts are all futile…”

Rahnan shook his head in disappointment.

‘It won’t be long… Once their attack shows no results, they will find out how powerless they are.

While Rahnan was feeling amused in his mind, an old and sinister voice rang out from Abella’s lifeless body.

“I have already projected my ‘will’ here; the refinement of souls is nearly complete; now I will start taking over this vessel…”

Abella, no… The vessel rose from the ground slowly and walked over to the center of the altar.

Rahnan saluted his god, but the vessel ignored him and stood directly at the altar’s center.

The refined soul power started to pour into the vessel, and its transformation began.

The vessel started to increase in size, and its nails became sharper.

Its eyes went pitch black, and its pupils became dark red. A sinister aura started to appear on the vessel as its body slowly transformed into that of a demon.

The vessel lost its feminine features and transformed into a deformed amalgamation of flesh and meat.

“Hmm, it will take some time to get into a proper combat form…”

A giant eye appeared on that blob of flesh and miasma.

As more and more soul power entered its body, it kept becoming more and more sinister and eerie-looking.

Rahnan glanced at the city wall and saw that Jareth and others were still crazily putting their mana into that magic circle.

‘Hmph, idiots, once my god’s incarnation descends, you guys will become his food-‘

Before Rahnan could laugh at them, he noticed a sudden change.

The magic circle started to change in form, and it became even bigger.

Originally, it was just the size of a five-story building, but now it has become nearly as big as a skyscraper.

‘W-what’s going on… How are they able to keep such a massive magic circle stable!? This is impossible!’

The magic circle grew to such a size that it could dwarf a mountain.

“Impossible! This is insanity! No mortal can use magic of that level!”

Even the gigantic blob of flesh trembled at the sight of that massive magic circle.

Although only a small portion of the demon god’s ‘will’ had descended on the vessel, it was still possible to see that the magic aimed at him was not so simple.

The giant eye opened wide, as if it were shocked at that insane sight.

…

Above the city walls, a few seconds ago.

Except for Reynald, everyone else was already out of mana, and they had already stopped pouring mana by now.

Only Reynald was still pouring mana, and Jareth was keeping the magic circle stable.

Reynald ignored the sweat on his forehead and said it in a solemn tone.

“Can you feel it too?”

Jareth nodded his head at Reynald’s words and replied.

“Yeah, even though we have poured all the mana we have, this is likely still not enough…”

Reynald had sensed that the soul barrier around the altar was extremely powerful, and it was impossible to break it with only this much.

He didn’t want to admit it, but the truth was that he could feel his defeat at that moment.

“Should we start saying our last words then?”

A smirk appeared on Reynald’s face as he said those words.

In his whole life, he had never lost so badly before, but today he could feel powerless against the might of a demon god.

He could sense that once they initiate this attack, they likely won’t see any results.

And after they run out of mana, they will be the first target of the demon god’s incarnation.

Which means it was time to tell each other their last words.

But Jareth shook his head and denied Reynald’s question.

“No… Every one of us will die eventually… but not today at least…”

[Are you sure you want to use the ‘Attack enhancement card (Advanced)’?]

[Yes or No]

‘Yes’

After Jareth used his only attack enhancement card on Zero, one more appeared in the shop.

This proved Jareth’s previous hypothesis correct.

Jareth can only keep one attack card at a time, and the shop will only be refreshed after he has already used the attack card in his inventory.

After the refresh of the attack card, Jareth immediately purchased it for ‘4000 Cp’ and proceeded to fly towards the city wall.

In other words, from the start, Jareth was already planning on using this attack card to settle things with that demon incarnation.

Jareth has always liked to plan thoroughly; he knew that if he enhanced his own attack, it wouldn’t have enough firepower to destroy the demon god’s incarnation.

But if he works with Reynald and others to create a combination spell, then the attack enhancement card will shine even brighter than before.

With that enhancement card, Jareth can’t improve others’ attacks.

But he has also poured his own mana into that combination spell, so it is also technically an attack of his own, so the attack card will work on it.

[Ding! You have used ‘Attack enhancement card (Advanced)’!]

[Your next attack will be enhanced by 500 times!]

Jareth’s fire magic seized the core part of the magic and pushed Reynald’s magic to be a support.

Then the whole magic circle burned bright red, as if it were made of condensed flames.

Reynald ran out of mana and stepped back a bit to lean his back against the nearby wall.

But the smile on his face widened more and more.

Jareth alone was controlling that massive magic circle at that moment, but Reynald could feel immense trust when looking at that capable back.

A rare smirk appeared on Jareth’s face when he noticed the shocked expression on Rahnan’s face.

‘A mortal can’t kill a god? Hold my beer~’

[Semi-grade-0 Combination Magic: Flame of Heavenly Punishment!]

A gigantic arrow made of condensed flames and other elements combined in it appeared out of the gigantic magic circle.

The inexhaustible flames surrounded instantly evaporated all of the moisture in the air in a thirty-kilometer area.

‘Farewell…’

Jareth waved his hand, and the giant flame arrow launched towards the altar at a speed of Mach 100!

It was so quick that no one could even sense it coming.

The air pressure created by that insane speed split the clouds in the sky and destroyed the buildings below.

The arrow obliterated everything in its path, ultimately striking the soul barrier.

Even the soul barrier wasn’t able to withstand that insane power, and it broke apart like glass in an instant.

The flame arrow landed on the altar, causing a massive explosion of unimaginable magnitude.

In an instant, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, turning everything within a twenty-kilometer radius into molten lava.

Fortunately, all of the soldiers had already retreated far away with the help of mana-powered vehicles, but even they felt the massive shockwave created by that attack.

Some of the soldiers even lost their hearing for quite a few hours after facing that shockwave.

The shockwave from that attack spread far and wide; it traveled nearly 500 kilometers before fully dissipating.

All of the forests and hills in a 100-kilometer radius were destroyed by a massive earthquake.

That one attack changed the geography of half of Artavia in a single instant.
