I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

Compress.

A black sphere rotating in my hand, the Energy of Defying Heaven. It spun.

I gathered it all together and compressed it. Although it was a simple action, the near-infinite Energy of Defying Heaven that slept within me could unleash overwhelming violence just on its own.

“Already?”

The Heavenly Demon asked me curiously.

Just before the Apostle could reveal its appearance, I was making a preparation.

“There’s still a long time before the Apostle shows up, right?”

“Oh my, you haven’t taken the memories of Black Heaven yet?”

Eternal Heaven asked with curiosity.

Wiiiiing.

I compressed. I drew out the Energy of Defying Heaven from within my body. I layered it onto the sphere in my palm. And then, I compressed it.

Though it was a simple act, all the gazes around me focused in this direction.

“……Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“This is nothing.”

In reality, the amount of focus I allocated to this is extremely minimal. If I were to rely solely on my focus, compressing it two more times might deplete it.

The Energy of Defying Heaven was a power that denied everything other than itself.

Its density is overwhelmingly higher than other forces. While other powers competed in terms of quantity, the Energy of Defying Heaven competed with density. Its amount was inevitably scarce, but the power it held was absolute.

In other words, compressing it was extremely difficult.

But not for me. On the contrary…

‘It’s easy.’

Easy.

It felt like molding clay. Layering it onto the sphere, compressing it tightly into shape.

The absolute authority of absolute stats made it possible.

Compress, compress, compress.

Thirty minutes passed like that.

Those around me were now looking at the sphere with weary eyes.

“How long can you keep that up?”

“All day.”

I replied naturally to Eternal Heaven’s question.

Maintaining this was not a burden. At least, not in this state.

After a while, the Apostle revealed its appearance.

Creeeak.

It emerged, tearing through space.

As if gazing into the depths of the abyss, it tore a hole.

A blackish-red hand, reminiscent of blood, appeared.

The moment I saw the hand, a certain scene naturally came to mind.

The screams and sorrow of countless humans. Those who could only die in despair.

It’s as if those scenes were vividly imprinted in my mind like a video.

‘Pathetic.’

I focused my mind.

Since it showed us such unpleasant scenes.

I, too, wanted to make sure it felt discomfort upon its appearance.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Riiip.

The sound of tearing echoed as the dark space began to expand. The forearm, which Eternal Heaven mistook for a finger, revealed itself.

“How big is it?”

“It’s easily over 200 meters tall.”

I ignored the chatter and focused.

I was dedicating more and more of my focus to this.

The sphere had now grown larger than my head.

-Kuooooooh──.

The Apostle pushed its head through.

A blood-red head. It had no eyes, nose, or facial features. Only a line ran vertically down the center of its face.

It had no eyes.

Yet, it was clearly looking at me.

-You’re still playing around, brother.

A strange noise echoed in my mind. My talent, Reading, instantly interpreted it.

What, brother?

When I wielded the Energy of Defying Heaven.

There was an Apostle of a god crawling in the darkest place.

It also called me brother.

I looked at the Heavenly Demon. Assuming that it too possessed the Energy of Defying Heaven, it should have also spoken to the Heavenly Demon.

“What’s this?”

The Heavenly Demon squinted its eyes and glared at the Apostle.

“Did it talk to you?”

“No. It’s just ugly.”

“…….”

It was an absurd response, but it seemed the Apostle hadn’t spoken to the Heavenly Demon.

Then why did it call me brother?

‘Is it because of my image?’

Could it be related to my mental world?

It was strange.

I heard that the mental world usually starts with just a small patch of land. But I had a whole world from the beginning. I had both Myeolchun and Myeolhae from the start. Ř𝓪𐌽ồꞖĘS̈

‘Does it have something to do with that?’

But now is not the time to think about it.

I held the sphere in my hand. It had now grown to the size of my head.

-Are you showing hostility toward me? Well, it doesn’t matter.

It calmly stared at me.

-As long as I kill them all, that’s enough.

Kieeeeeeeeeek!!

As it revealed itself by tearing through space, it howled while looking up at the sky.

-Regret playing in this worthless world where even the guardian of the middle realm is absent.

It spoke to me.

-I am the incarnation of the one who desecrates all, Ardabitri.

My heart pounded with tension. It had been a while since I felt this way, as if the entity called death had distinctly gripped my throat.

I gazed at the incarnation of the one who desecrates all.

A false existence. There was very little truth in what it said. Just like its name, “the one who desecrates all,” it cunningly mixed truth with lies.

That ability manifested in the same way.

Creeeeak.

With a strange noise, Ardabitri revealed itself completely.

“Seo-ha-nim, now…”

I looked at Ardabitri with seven-colored eyes.

Like the Apostle, it was watching over us with an overwhelming presence.

Boom!

Its foot touched the ground. Huge. As big as a large apartment complex, with legs that seemed the size of the 63 Building.

At the same time, the Apostle revealed its hostility. The line splitting its face began to widen, forming a cross, with dark energy surging from it.

-Die.

Black magic condensed in front of its face, forming a sphere, and was then released.

I hurled the compressed sphere toward the Apostle.

──────!!

A silent explosion spread in all directions.

The impact of the black flash and the sphere colliding sent shockwaves in every direction.

The barren land sank in, and even the remaining mountains disappeared without a trace.

Lee Seo-ha glared at his opponent. Ardabitri stared back; even though it had no eyes, he could feel its gaze.

His body tingled, but there were no problems.

‘Not bad.’

His body was only slightly damaged from the shockwave. It was different from before when his excessive power prevented him from fully unleashing his strength.

He felt that he had prepared well.

‘The problem isn’t that; it’s that guy.’

The one called Ardabitri remained intact. The unholy power of the Energy of Defying Heaven didn’t affect it as it should have. In that case, the next step is…

“I’ll go.”

The Thousand Sorcerer raised their staff.

The Heavenly Demon stood beside them.

“Old man, aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Don’t pretend to be close to me.”

Above the Thousand Sorcerer’s head, the sun rose.

A blazing artificial sun. Beside it, a cold, frosty full moon appeared.

The power drawn from the Thousand Sorcerer’s mental world. As they combined, everything around them began to turn black.

“Then I’ll go too.”

The Heavenly Demon placed a hand on the hilt of their sword.

A chilling presence.

It was the same chilling sensation felt when fighting the Heavenly Demon before, filling the entire area.

The Heavenly Demon’s mental world was calm. No, it wasn’t just calm; the Heavenly Demon had ‘enveloped’ their mental world.

“Pacheon (破天).”

The Heavenly Demon went first.

Crack.

The sound of something breaking in the sky echoed. As the void shattered, an enormous amount of Energy of Defying Heaven formed into a shape.

A sword.

A sword resembling the Black Heavenly Demon Sword, but far larger than Ardabitri, descended.

Crackle!!

The invisible barrier in front of the Apostle shattered. It began scattering like glass, and the Pacheon Sword pierced the Apostle.

“Eclipse.”

Meanwhile, the Thousand Sorcerer completed their spell.

A sphere dyed in black.

A massive sphere, the size of a small hill, engulfed the Apostle.

Inside the sphere, flames and frost erupted.

Even a transcendent being would be on the verge of death from those two absolute powers, and a great evil would experience hundreds of deaths.

But the opponent was an Apostle.

The one who desecrated all was particularly troublesome.

When the spell cast by the Thousand Sorcerer subsided, a blood-stained giant with a wounded body remained.

“This seems to have worked.”

“That’s strange. My Pacheon didn’t have much of an effect, but this did?”

The Thousand Sorcerer looked satisfied but paused at the Heavenly Demon’s words.

[You are quite bothersome.]

The Apostle stared at the Heavenly Demon and the Thousand Sorcerer.

It maintained the same form as before. The one who desecrated all. It deceived everything—whether it be an enemy’s attack or the damage it received.

Of course, there were limits…

The Apostle extended its hand.

Its targets were the Thousand Sorcerer and the Heavenly Demon.

[From now on, you will not be able to use your previous techniques.]

The one who desecrated all, Ardabitri, distorted the laws of the world.
