I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

Chapter 166: Festival (4)

Chapter 166: Festival (4)

The Black Sun.

Its existence was utterly terrifying. In the game, it was described as an incomprehensible entity.

Its form literally resembled a black sun.

Unlike the sun, which blazed, it was composed of horribly grotesque creatures.

‘Of all people, why Heinrich Himmler?’

Himmler.

The leader of the SS unit and an infamous figure. I looked at Himmler. Over his white uniform was jet-black hair.

Himmler’s head, resembling a starless space, had no facial features.

He simply had an egg-shaped black face.

-What is it?

“What were you thinking when you invaded here?”

This was the most puzzling thing.

Aside from targeting Seo Ga-yeon, the Korea Hero School was the Emperor’s land.

To invade here and target Seo Ga-yeon meant to increase their enemies. Moreover, the Emperor was an entity that interacted with other transcendent beings.

There existed Celestial, who had penetrated the laws of the world, and the Overlord, who was said to have torn the world apart with great power.

The Nazi Empire was strong.

It survived against the entire world. But behind it, it was more about aligning interests with different entities. No matter how transcendent, it’s hard to invade Germany and kill them.

The Black Sun.

Because of one extraterrestrial being above the transcendent.

-So that’s the kind of question you’re asking.

Himmler observed me calmly with an intrigued look. Although Himmler had no face, I could feel it.

-But why should I answer you?

At the same time, Himmler put his hand inside his uniform.

What came out was a spear overflowing with ominous demonic energy. A trident with three prongs at the end.

It was imbued with immense demonic energy.

A divine artifact. A symbol of the god given directly by the being called the Black Sun. Although it looked like a trident, it’s actually a staff. The symbol of the Nazi Empire’s power was modification.

They did not handle cold weapons.

They handled firearms because it was the best way to utilize the power of modification.

But the higher they ascended, the more their weapons evolved.

They began with weapons in the form of staves.

The Black Sun.

An extraterrestrial entity. The Nazi Empire worshiped this being, transforming into an empire-like force. The higher you climbed, the more they resembled priests from the Hundred Temple.

-Die.

Himmler spoke of death with calm.

Pointing the black spear at me, a surge of death’s aura emanated from its tip.

‘So, this is the highest level of class.’

His method of accumulating power resembled that of an apostle who had slaughtered billions of humans, yet his power was undeniably noble.

A split second.

What transpired in the blink of an eye. I quickly ducked and lifted Black Heaven. The talent of the Sword Demon was activated. Time fragmented into dozens of moments.

Himmler’s movements became crystal clear.

Whoosh!

Black Heaven resonated with my intent.

Sword Soul.

Aligned with my will and mental image, sword energy surged within Black Heaven. The finely tuned power remained within Black Heaven.

-Did you attack me with just that?

Himmler sneered.

But it was the truth.

The laws of this world were designed so that the lower class could not overcome the higher class.

A lower class could defeat a middle class. But from the middle class upwards, such occurrences cease.

‘Because of authority.’

Often known as the rank of a Sword Master. The moment one attained this level, they manifested their sword energy. They altered the world’s laws with their will. That changed the world.

Sword Energy, Sword Aura, Sword Strength.

Those who wielded such powers did not permit the lower class to surpass the higher class.

-Laughable. But I’ll entertain you.

Even without seeing, I could sense Himmler’s smile. The aura of death intensified.

Click.

I heard the sound of a switch being turned on in my mind. I activated Divine Sight.

Focus.

I concentrated all my abilities on Black Heaven. The aura of death approached. Divine Sight detected the weakest link. I cut it.

Slash-.

I felt something being cut, and the aura of death was severed.

-Hoo?

With curious eyes, Himmler looked at me.

-You’re not an ordinary middle class. In terms of swordsmen, you possess a bit of power that almost reaches Sword Strength.

“It would be good if you give up now.”

-There’s no way I’d do that after coming this far. It’s the only chance we have to invade.

Himmler laughed.

-But first.

He waved his hand toward the empty air. Then, the circle that had been forming around Himmler expanded in an instant, creating some sort of barrier.

And this was not the action of someone who wanted what was happening inside to be known to the outside.

I felt the space being cut off from the outside. It was a refined method. Even with Divine Sight, I couldn’t see the composition.

‘Not that it matters if I could see it.’

It was because my magical talent was lacking.

“Do you have confidence in facing the Emperor?”

-No. The Emperor in her original state is beyond anything you can imagine.

Himmler said.

-The Emperor, weakened by the Hundred Temple incident and the civil war of the false beings, is now at a level we can contend with.

“The Seven Evils haven’t appeared, I see?”

-…You know more than I expected?

“As I thought, the Seven Evils still can’t move.”

I was convinced by Himmler’s words.

The Seven Evils were currently trapped after tremendous effort.

-…

Himmler looked at me quietly.

Crack.

I loosened my body lightly. I adjusted my body with Black God Martial Arts. My body, which moved according to my will down to the last drop of blood, responded to my command. I looked at Himmler.

‘The gap in our power is not as big as I thought.’

It was because Himmler created a barrier that evaded the Emperor’s scrutiny.

Of course, saying the gap wasn’t significant didn’t mean he’s an easy opponent. He was just weaker than I anticipated, yet still clearly stronger than me.

And by gathering information, Himmler became extremely cautious of me.

‘I will try to kill you.’

And that suited my interests perfectly.

-Today, this place will be your grave.

“It will be your grave.”

Himmler smirked, raising one corner of his mouth, and aimed his spear at me.

The Mines were in upheaval on a grand scale.

Each country declared a state of emergency. Korea reacted the quickest, followed by the United States, then Japan.

‘This is insane.’

Seiichiro, dispatched from Japan, clenched his teeth. From across the distant sea, the U.S. was assessing the situation.

It was an incident that had occurred in a neighboring country. This clearly showed that Japan’s intelligence capabilities were significantly inferior.

-I’m sorry. The situation in China was too unexpected.

“Forget it. What’s the current situation?”

-It’s dire. The Nazis are resolute. One of the transcendent beings friendly to humanity might perish.

“The government?”

-They’re responding as swiftly as they can, but…

The government’s agent’s voice trailed off.

He was referring to transcendent beings from other countries. Seiichiro found it absurd that his country didn’t want the neighboring country to become stronger.

If Korea was in danger, wouldn’t Japan be next? Was this really how it was?

‘I wish we could change that too.’

As absurd as it was, this was the reality in Japan.

Seiichiro sighed inwardly.

“What’s the scale of the enemy?”

-It’s beyond measure. Just the number of magical soldiers tops 100,000.

“Crazy bastards.”

100,000 magical soldiers.

In essence, it meant they had altered over 100,000 unrelated individuals. That was why the Nazis had emerged as the world’s primary adversary and the reason for their survival.

Seiichiro unsheathed his sword.

Surrounding him were heroes dispatched from various countries, thanks to the power of warp gates and Korea’s initiative. Korea had declared a state of emergency and raised the alert to the highest level.

Some sought to gain the Emperor’s favor, others yearned for revenge by killing the Mines, some were driven by a sense of duty, and yet others were motivated by the prospect of wealth.

Though their desires varied, their goal was unified.

The heroes and guilds were silently converging to strike at the Mines.

“Whew, this is no joke.”

“Ken. Don’t be reckless.”

“Reckless? Relax. If you’re too tense, things won’t go smoothly.”

“But there are lots of SS units.”

“There are just as many heroes. But the magical soldiers are the real problem. Have you heard the rumors about a being that massacres magical soldiers? Are they targeting that being?”

Heroes were in abundance.

They were elite forces from various countries. The Hundred Temple dispatched paladins and priests, Japan contributed shamans and samurais, Britain sent wizards and knights of the Round Table, and Northern Europe provided Valkyries and warriors.

Their numbers neared a thousand.

Despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered, the thousand heroes were brimming with confidence. Each believed they could take on hundreds, if not thousands, single-handedly.

There were no hunters who failed to become heroes and resorted to hunting monsters.

Their enemy was the Nazi Empire, which converted dead hunters into magical soldiers. They avoided meaningless sacrifices and strengthening the enemy’s forces. This was fundamental knowledge for them.

-Hmm, a lot of people have gathered here.

Someone murmured quietly.

Yet, the heroes present heard it distinctly.

“…My God, why is that person here?”

“Are they really trying to end this? Against Korea?”

A wave of unease spread.

It was the presence of a being who should not have been there, a very rare and famous entity.

“Josef Dietrich and Hermann Göring have appeared!”

“Contact the mainland immediately! We need more support!”

“Damn it, I aimed for a big hit, but I might end up leaving this world today…”

The heroes were agitated.

Seeing that scene, Hermann Göring smiled. Those who didn’t know Himmler was here would be annihilated today.

‘Not bad.’

The Emperor had weakened.

Other transcendent beings were the same. He heard Celestial had to rest because handling some power strained his core. The Overlord was busy calming the land that was about to be descended upon by an apostle.

It was the best time to attack the Emperor. As soon as they realized that, they executed a large-scale operation.

‘Still silent.’

Above the sky.

The one watching the scene thought.

Other transcendent beings did not act in their world. The Sword Saint, who was said to have split the sky, was absent. The Fist Demon, who was said to have shattered the great mountains, was also silent.

‘You are still foolish.’

Despite having power, they did not act. Because they judged it wasn’t their business.

They focused on sublimating their martial arts above all else. It was madness.

‘Seo Ga-yeon’s safety is secured.’

What remained was Lee Seo-ha.

They would find Lee Seo-ha soon. They had set aside the sixth star, who was skilled in tracking. As soon as they thought of Lee Seo-ha, a smile involuntarily formed on their lips. The Emperor quickly erased the expression. From now on, they intended to deal with those who were devouring the world. Thinking of Lee Seo-ha while dealing with them would be unjust considering the crimes they committed.

Tap, tap.

Clearly walking above the sky, distinct footsteps were heard. The one watching from above the sky appeared.

Dazzlingly beautiful golden hair.

Amethyst-like eyes that saw through everything. The Emperor looked arrogantly at the magical soldiers.

“Laughable, you fools who don’t realize this place will be your grave.”

The Emperor personally descended to the spot.

“Today is a significant day. The ignorant scoundrels who dare to call themselves an empire will meet their end.”

The Emperor proclaimed.

And the Emperor now had the power to achieve that will.
