The Mage Who Devours Disasters
my hand was already gripping its head.
Kiiiieeek!
At the instant the monster rat screamed—
Crack!
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
It was light as a feather.
‘Light.’
A repulsive liquid splattered in all directions, but the golden energy covering my body repelled it.
With a sound like a watermelon bursting, its head exploded.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The reaction speed of my muscles surpasses even my thoughts.
‘All attributes at 100.’
My senses became sharper.
It’s not just that my strength increased.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Starting at level 10.’
To reach 100 in all attributes, at least level 10 is needed.
A normal hunter or awakened has around 10 points at level 1.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
It’s overwhelming.
Not a bad start.
To be honest.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“R-run!”
‘That only means Rag’s growth potential is insane.’
I smiled faintly, threw the rat’s corpse aside, and stepped out.
“Aaaah!”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
From the cracks in the asphalt, dozens, hundreds of monster rats kept emerging.
“They’re monsters! shadow The rats are eating people!”
A hell.
Outside was a disaster.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Observing that chaos, I analyzed the situation coldly.
They attacked everything they found, climbed buildings, tore people apart.
‘We were always wrong.’
In the past, humanity thought monsters appeared and then destroyed everything.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘The disaster happens first.’
The order was reversed.
An earthquake opens a dimensional crack.
But no.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
That is to say.
‘If you eliminate the disaster, the monsters will disappear.’
And from that crack, monsters emerge.
If you remove the cause, the result disappears.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
We never understood that simple truth until the end.
But this time is different.
We were too busy killing what was in front of us.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Boom!
I stomped the ground.
I know the answer.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Kieh?”
I threw a punch.
The asphalt sank as my body shot forward like a projectile.
A rat blocked my path.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Everything that gets in my way, I destroy.
The upper half of its body flew off, crushing the ones behind it.
Boom!
My fists did not stop.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“S-save us!”
I slit throats with my hand, crushed several with a single kick.
A mother and her daughter were screaming, cornered.
Five rats surrounded them.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fwoosh!
I didn’t stop.
I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Pop! atom Pop! voyage Pop!
Driven by my strength, it flew like a bullet.
Three rats died instantly.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
My fist was already in their stomachs.
Too late.
The other two turned their heads in confusion.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Without looking back, I kept running.
“…Huh?”
Crack!
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
What matters is finding the source.
Then.
I don’t need thanks.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
My palm began to vibrate.
Humm—
The golden rune glowed faintly.
Like a compass.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
My hand pointed in a direction.
In the center of Seoul.
‘There.’
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
That is the origin of the earthquake.
Black smoke was coming out of it.
The largest sinkhole.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
But there was a problem.
The core of the disaster.
I changed direction.
Kiiiieeek!
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The closer I got, the more rats appeared.
Too many.
Not only that.
Kirik! arrow Kiririk!
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I looked up.
Bzzzz—
An unpleasant sound came from the sky.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Demon Fly.’
Attacks from both land and air.
One of the monsters that killed the most awakened at the beginning.
Giant dragonflies, the size of people, were flying in a swarm.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The Descent time is limited.
I can’t waste it on mere filler enemies.
Breaking through using only physical strength would take too long.
‘Annoying…’
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Ding!
Just as I was about to clench my fist—
A system message appeared before me.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
[Do you wish to use it?]
[It can be manifested with the current body.]
[The conditions to use the disaster ‘Typhoon of Massacre’ have been met.]
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I nodded without hesitation.
Probably because of the number of enemies and because it is the ideal environment for an ‘annihilation’.
Conditions met?
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Does the right absorb and the left release?’
A small vortex appeared in the palm of my left hand.
Fwoooong—
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I understood the structure.
This must be the basic principle of the ‘Devourer of Disasters’ class.
Input and output.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The compressed air shrieked.
Wiiiiiiii—
The rats around me stepped back, as if sensing instinctive fear.
The wind, which at first was the size of a ping-pong ball, grew in an instant to the size of a basketball.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
But it was too late.
“Wipe everything out.”
I threw that ‘disaster’ toward the area where the monsters were most concentrated.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
With an explosive roar, the atmosphere distorted.
Kwooooooooom!
The moment it touched the ground—
Thunk—
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
descended right into the center of Seoul.
The enormous typhoon I had seen in Asgard—
Kiiiek!
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The dragonflies in the air were torn apart and absorbed into the eye of the typhoon.
Kiiiieeeek!
They couldn’t even scream properly.
The rats were swept away like dry leaves.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
That was ‘annihilation’.
Overwhelming destructive power.
Debris, cars, and thousands of monsters were crushed like in a gigantic blender.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I shook my hand.
The cleanup was finished.
“Clean.”
I equipped the ‘Spiritual Wings’ and descended toward the sinkhole.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The depth was absurd.
The bottom was not visible.
***
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Without the wings, I would never have dared to go down.
Total darkness.
I descended through the wind.
Shuuuu—
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Humm—
But it didn’t matter.
The golden light from my hand illuminated everything.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
My feet touched solid ground.
Finally.
‘I’ve arrived.’
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
It was an artificially carved space.
I put away the wings and advanced toward the golden light.
It didn’t look like a natural cave.
And at the end—
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
It wasn’t a monster egg.
Nor a magic stone.
“…A person?”
It was a man.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
He sensed me as well.
Sitting in a lotus position on a rock.
Clearly surprised.
“What are you?”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“…Impossible.”
“There was a path.”
“How did you get in? sphere I blocked the entrance with rats.”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Then he looked upward.
He looked me up and down.
“Wait… that energy… a typhoon?”
He looked at me again.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“……”
“Don’t tell me… are you an ‘avatar’?”
His gaze changed.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Avatar.
“Strange… the areas shouldn’t overlap…”
Area.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Disasters have territories.
And those who generate them have human form.
Administrator.
The pieces fit together.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Kim Yuhwan?”
That face.
And also—
‘I know him.’
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“How do you know my nick?”
Confirmed.
He flinched.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The Steel Hero, Kim Yuhwan.
A hero who appeared like a star in Korea.
And now he was sitting here as the origin of the earthquake.
He saved many with his hardened body.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The strongest heroes.
A chilling hypothesis arose.
‘…So that’s how it was.’
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Allies of the gods?’
Avatars?
Their true identity.
Not exactly.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Kim Yuhwan is a ‘character’.
Perhaps.
‘A game of the gods?’
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The difference is they cause disasters, kill humans, and level up.
An avatar created by the gods on Earth.
Just like I created Rag.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I laughed.
“Ha.”
Then they appear as heroes.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Those bastards.
We worshiped them as saviors.
“Interesting.”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“You don’t need to know.”
“What’s so funny? sphere Which god are you from?”
Kim Yuhwan tilted his head.
My killing intent boiled.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I’ll find out by killing him.
There’s no reason to talk.
Boom!
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What—?!”
The ground exploded as I launched myself.
Krrrrr—
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Giant rocks emerged.
But it’s useless.
He struck the ground.
Earthquake control.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I spread my wings.
Flap!
I leaped between the rocks and flew straight at him.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What is this?!”
He crossed his arms.
‘Hardening.’
His skin turned to steel.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
His ability.
But—
Absolute defense.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I’m beyond scale.
‘That’s against humans.’
My strength is 100.
BOOOOM!
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The steel deformed.
“Aaaagh!”
My punch hit.
He was sent flying.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Impossible…”
His arms shattered.
“Cough…!”
He stood up.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
I stepped forward.
“How are you this strong from the start? august The tutorial just began!”
“……”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Don’t come closer! abandon We are gods!”
I approached.
“No way… are you a higher god?”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
Confirmed.
They are gods.
‘Gods of the tower.’
Rules.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Do it.”
“My real body is in Asgard!”
“Kill me and you’ll only lose an avatar!”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The rune glowed.
“Do it if you can.”
Humm—
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
The light pierced his chest.
Predatory instinct.
“Aaaah!”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Why…?”
“Logout!”
Nothing.
He convulsed.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
He understood.
“……”
“You’re absorbing… my divinity?”
“Stop!”
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Aaaaah!”
His fingers broke.
He tried to pull me away.
Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 4 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Save…”
Silence.
He disintegrated.
He vanished.
