Chapter 90
“From now on, I will reveal ‘magic’ to the world.”
As Avon’s voice poured out without any shred of hesitation, Taylor Nine made a complicated expression.
‘Suddenly magic?’
Taylor knew a little about magic. It was an ability that Yoo Seodam frequently used. She originally thought that such magic could only be used by Yoo seodam. However, she knew about the existence of amulets, but she never thought that amulet was a by-product of magic.
‘But that’s….’
The magic shown by Yoo Seodam was completely different from what she saw right now. When Yoo Seodam used it, 3 or 4 brilliant magic circles overlapped in the air before the magic activated. However, Avon’s magic was activated through a device. There was no Magic circle, so it looked like a normal superpower.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that Avon’s magic wasn’t special.
Perhaps waiting in advance, three more wizards, including Avon, came out to show off more magic, they used a variety of superpowers.
There were people there who could handle multiple superpowers at the same time. For example, activating both binding and attack superpower at once and the other one was creating an energy shield while possessing a body-enhancement superpower.
All over the world, only a handful of superhumans possessed an additional ‘Elemental’ superpower on top of their original superpower. However, most of them had similar-type of abilities. And only very few of those handful people had dual abilities that did not collide with each other. And there was no one in the world who had more than one ‘Elemental’ superpower.
However, the magician in front of Taylor activated several elemental powers at the same time.
They made a gust while creating fire, raised a wall of dirt while making ice float in the air. The power itself was at the level of B rank, but the fact that one person could activate multiple abilities through ‘learning’ was likely to overturn the whole world.
Taylor immediately sent a message to Yoo Seodam.
[Taylor: Hey]
[Taylor: Where are you now?]
His reply came quickly.
[Seodam: America]
[Taylor: What are you doing now?]
[Seodam: I found a good dimension….]
[Seodam: We are working on connecting the dimension with several portals all over the world so that the space could be used as a base for the new Murim league.]
[Seodam: Didn’t you say you go back to Russia?]
[Taylor: Yep.]
[Taylor: Are you watching the live broadcast now?]
[Seodam: What live broadcast?]
[Taylor: I’ll send you the link]
It hasn’t been an issue because the broadcast only started a few minutes ago. But given time, people will go crazy because of it. Taylor thought that Yoo Seodam should know about this before that happened. Because soon, his identity will be synonymous with the word ‘Magic’ and she thought that if others got it before him, he would be in trouble.
However, Yoo Seodam’s reaction was quite plain.
[Seodam: Oh… they’re integrating magic with science.]
Taylor was taken aback by his dry reaction.
[Seodam: Did they make a device to activate magic because they don’t know how to make a staff?]
[Seodam: Should I call that an essence dispenser?]
[Seodam: It’s amazing]
His interest seemed to be pointed at the technology of the Morian Guild.
[Taylor: Hey! Have some sense of crisis!]
Yoo Seodam was silent for a few minutes before replying.
[Seodam: I don’t think it’s necessary.]
Then he added another sentence.
[Seodam: As long as they don’t go overboard.]
However,
As soon as Taylor read his last message,
“That is not the only possibility of magic. It was only one among many! Through magic, it was possible for us to open the gate of ‘deformed dungeons’ that have been impossible to interpret so far!”
Saying so, Avon pointed to the back. There, a strange-floating word of ‘Deformed dungeon’ shined like a mirage.
This building, where the knights’ banquet was held, was located in Moscow, and had not been used until today since the appearance of the variant dungeon 10 years ago.
Taylor has been wondering why the Russian government decided to hold the banquet in a building where a deformed dungeon was located.
‘No way, are you effing kidding me?’
The deformed dungeon, which appeared in Moscow, was left unattended for ten years since it was impossible to enter. Fortunately, the interpretation was slowly proceeding based on various scientist’s theory that there were several decades left until ‘synchronization’ occured. However, many people believed it was impossible to predict with the power of science alone.
But now, Morian announced through the live broadcast that the entry conditions of the deformed dungeon, which spread all over the world and cannot be interpreted, could be cleared with magic!
“From now on, we will interpret the deformed dungeon that has troubled Moscow for 10 years.”
And then, Yoo Seodam sent another message to Taylor while watching the live broadcast.
[Seodam: Fools!]
* * *
In fact, there would be no problem even if they opened the deformed dungeon. Most deformed dungeons had a level between A and S rank and opening the gate does not mean that there will be an accident immediately.
“Majority of deformed dungeons that appeared in modern times consist of ‘unknown energy’. Modern science couldn’t figure out those unknown energy, but actually those unknown energy were ‘essence energy’ a source of magic.”
Wiiinngg~
A giant machine rotated and began to interpret the entrance of the deformed dungeon.
“From now on, whenever a deformed dungeon appears, we won’t have to be afraid because we don’t know when the synchronization will occur. We will be able to recover the land we had to abandon. As a proof of my words, today, I will interpret the deformed dungeon in Moscow, open the gate, and attack it with hunters equipped with ‘amulet’.”
There were 27 hunters next to Avon. There were seven S-rank hunters and twenty A-rank hunters, each of them were equipped with an ‘amulet’, so they were capable of clearing S-rank dungeons quite easily.
However, they aren’t aware of one fact.
[Seodam: It could be quite dangerous]
[Seodam: If a deformed dungeon were left unopened for a long time, the essence energy will accumulate and the internal power of the dungeon will be upgraded]
In fact, in recent months, Seodam had been targeting ‘Deformed dungeon’ rather than ordinary dungeon. Most of the ordinary dungeons were already assigned towards other guilds, so there was almost no place for a small guild like his.
And while attacking numerous deformed dungeons, he was able to find out about the fact that when a deformed dungeon is neglected for quite some time, the energy inside the dungeon is accumulated and then stagnats. From that energy, either one powerful entity or a small number of elite monsters will be born!
[Seodam: The last time I raided a five-year-old deformed dungeon… a S-rank monster popped out like crazy as soon as I opened the gate.]
[Seodam: I really struggled back then]
[Seodam: The inside of the deformed dungeon is tightly stagnated.]
Did 21st century wizards really know about these facts that even a 16-years-old veteran hunter and the Library of White Witch didn’t know about?
Yoo Seodam sent a text message to Taylor and a telepathy to Yekaterina through the ‘Library of the White Witch’.
[Seodam: Get away from there.]
-You shouldn’t be there, you should leave. Something dangerous will come out.
However, both of them rejected his advice.
They realized that through this opportunity they would be able to break away from the enormous chain of fate that held their lives in place.
[Taylor: talk to you later!]
-No. I have work to do.
Both of them returned to their original positions.
Taylor spoke to Alexandre.
“If a deformed dungeon bursts, it will be dangerous. We must leave and warn other people!”
While Yekaterina spoke to Avon.
“Avon. You should not open the deformed dungeon.”
But.
“Taylor Blestash. Both your stupidity and deviation for the last 16 years is enough. It’s time for us to grab new power and move forward.”
Alexandre Blestash. An S rank superhuman who couldn’t reach his long-life dream of becoming a SS rank superhuman. There’s no way he would turn away from an unknown power called ‘magic’ which could possibly make his dream come true.
Also, Avon was the same.
“We want to reveal our magic to the world, are you going to interfere? If you don’t want to be locked up again, stay quiet.”
After a long journey, she finally succeeded in incorporating magic with science, and established a place where she could properly spread her influence in the world with magic.
‘She wants me to turn away from such an opportunity?’
And then,
The gate of deformed dungeon finally opened.
“Ahhhhhh!”
“Th…The dungeon is full of monsters!”
“More monsters are popping out!”
Just like what Yoo Seodam said, the dungeon burst out and a strengthened monster popped out from the inside of the dungeon.
“Unbelievable…..”
Avon quickly stepped away from the dungeon vicinity, her face was pale.
‘Monsters of A rank and higher!’
Ultimately, A-rank monsters were treated as a ‘miscellaneous mob’ inside a deformed dungeon. The real deal starts from S-rank monster
‘….At the least, it is an SS rank deformed dungeon.’
What kind of an accident is this? This place should be a place where she gained recognition by revealing the existence of magic to the world.
It was only then that Avon recalled Yekaterina’s warning. She slowly looked behind her. Yekaterina stood there while looking at herself with her usual expression.
“…Yekaterina.”
“Avon. I warned you.”
“But, this was inevitable for our dream.”
“I know.”
It was Avon who wanted the existence of the witches to be revealed to the world once again. However, the process was too cruel. How many people had she killed so far? How many people did she buy with the promise of power? How long had she been harassing Yekaterina?
So, Yekaterina decided to negotiate with Avon as her last consideration.
“Avon. Let’s make a deal.”
“….what?”
“It’s a deal under the ‘Witch’s Law’. It is an absolute deal that should never be broken.”
“······!”
When Yekaterina mentioned the Witch’s Law, Avon’s pupils shook. How could someone who grew up without knowing that she was a witch know about ‘Witch’s law? But that wasn’t important.
“I have no power to defeat the monsters who escaped from the dungeon…. But at the very least I can close the gate.”
“That’s impossible. The closing device is still in the development stage!”
“It’s not that you don’t want to believe I can close the gate?”
At those words, Avon opened his eyes wide.
Avon was a witch through and through. Even though she was late to understand the situation due to an unexpected situation, she always pursued efficient transactions.
“What do you want in return?”
“Promise with the Witch’s Law. If I close the door of the Dungeon, the Morian Guild will let me go.”
Avon thought about it for a while, but there was no other way.
Avon nodded her head, but she couldn’t hide her clumsily maintained expression.
“···good. If you close the door, I will surely fulfill my promise.”
It was hard to admit that her own magic was weaker than Yekaterina’s
