The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 793 Final Battle Part 18

Kalumandas, the God of Wisdom. He possessed many Divine Concepts. Like the other Main Gods, he was the head of his own God Faction.

His faction kept the lowest profile out of all the God Factions. Most of the Gods in his faction were related to protecting books, academics, studying, scholars, and other such Divine Concepts. His God Faction was viewed as the most neutral God Faction of them all, and focused on preserving and protecting civilization and culture.

But when the entire world was in chaos and started burning from the fires of war, even the scholars wouldn’t be able to hide in their ivory towers. Since they would need to survive as well, they would have to make a choice in the end.

At the very least, they would need to choose the side that they felt was the most likely to obtain victory in the end, and at least obtain some trustworthy allies.

Kalumandas was an original God who hadn’t ascended through the power of belief. He really looked down upon the fanatical believers of other Gods, and far preferred the mages who sought the truth of the world. He had signed a secret contract with the mages several centuries ago for mutual assistance.

Kalumandas and the mages agreed to reveal their mutual relationship publicly when the time was necessary. Obviously, this was now such a necessary time.

Kalumandas had been wondering just what situation was necessary for the mages to activate their ultimate weapon of summoning him when he stepped out of the summoning formation.

He wasn’t afraid that there would be a trap here, because he was already at the peak of the world.

However, he instantly no longer felt as confident.

He saw a battlefield with no light at all. Instead, there was only the clashing of several Main God level existences.

The undefeated Chaos War God was getting pulverized by a tremendous giant. Demon Main God Barbarot and Devil Main God Heimor were ferociously biting at each other. The Main Gods’ battle made the dimensional laws in this area incredibly unstable.

Kalumandas instantly raised his guard due to the battlefield’s situation. He also noticed the enemy who was approaching him.

Kalumandas was quite familiar with the powerful existence that was approaching. Sophocles was an old enemy of his.

As they were both venerated Main Gods, they had naturally fought against each other before over the long years. For existences as old as they, it would be incredibly difficult to have any additional foundational increase in strength.

Kalumandas swung his mage staff with great familiarity, instantly summoning a blue magic shield which was as solid and large as castle walls in midair. He then waved his staff around again, and summoned numerous elemental fairy knight squadrons that controlled thousands of high-level elemental creatures.

Various additional mystical rune defenses were activated in midair. In just a short instant, Kalumandas created a 17-layer defense with the assistance of his personal God Equipment.

Kalumandas then stood where he was in midair, and gathered divine power as he started creating a tremendous magic array for a powerful attack spell. He intended to give Sophocles a vicious attack to remind the latter than even an old dog still had teeth, and that he was no senile old man who couldn’t even hold a magic staff yet.

“This is bad!”

Kalumandas was acting the way he was because he had obviously underestimated Sophocles. From what I now knew, this was a huge mistake because Kalumandas still thought of Sophocles as the same “Weakest Main God” as before.

As I watched, Sophocles suddenly split into two. An angel of light transformed into a sharp arrow that pierced through the elemental fairy knights’ defenses, while a dark demon transformed into a hammer that shattered the magic shield.

All 17 layers of Kalumandas’s magic defenses were instantly shattered.

The solid defenses that Kalumandas had trusted so much were all instantly torn apart. At this moment, he was still busy with his head lowered while preparing a powerful attack magic spell.

“Aaaaah!”

Twin meteors of light and darkness had already arrived before him by the time that he noticed the bad situation. His body was then penetrated before he could even react, leaving behind only his pitiful screams that reverberated through the entire battlefield, and his body which had been torn apart.

At the instant of his death, Kalumandas looked at me with an expression filled with disbelief and astonishment, and finally hatred aimed directly at me.

“Kalumandas was defeated? He died? So quickly?”

I could barely believe what had just happened. Kalumandas had died from a single attack. Even if he had underestimated Sophocles, Kalumandas was still a Main God. How could he possibly die so quickly?

Something was off about this situation. I had just fought with Sophocles myself. If Sophocles had the power to instantly kill a Main God like that, then I would have long since been defeated already.

Kalumandas’s 17-layer defense had seemed just like paper that Sophocles tore apart so easily. This was no normal situation at all. Since Kalumandas had dared to use such a defense to prepare his powerful spell behind, that meant he had felt his defense had an absolute guarantee. Even if he underestimated Sophocles, he still shouldn’t have been defeated so quickly. This seemed just like…

“…Just like Sophocles knew the key to open up the barriers.”

Harloys’ words also contained some hatred, which rather surprised me. She then glanced at me, and mentally transmitted me some information.

It turned out that the Gold Elf Empire had previously received much assistance from Kalumandas as the Gold Elf Empire had invented elemental magic and ushered in a magic civilization. The Gold Elves had worshipped the God of Wisdom in addition to their own Gold Elf Gods.

Kalumandas lived up to his name of being the God of Wisdom. He was friendly with all species who searched for the truth of the world. He never acted as someone mysterious who would only hand out information with confusing prophecies, but rather behaved more as a comrade to other species who would search for the truth together with them. He acted as a trustworthy ally and senior.

Kalumandas was intimately connected to the Haletdam scholars’ generation. He had more than 10,000 years of friendship with the Gold Elf Empire. He was also the ally of the Mage Country in the current day.

Although Kalumandas had nominally been an invader from the Order Faction during the battle of Hell, he had done nothing except sit down and drink tea while chatting with us. The foundational reasons for this were because he was from the Haletdam scholars’ generation as well as because he was the true protector of Harloys, which allowed her to cause trouble everywhere as she pleased over the years without getting killed.

Someone like Kalumandas should have been undying and indestructible already. Yet, his defenses were penetrated through so easily as he was torn apart right in front of us?

“Those defense spells were a research result of the Gold Elf Empire’s mutual research with Kalumandas. The Ultimate Shield of Protection, Halin Elemental Fairy Knight Squadron Summoning, and the 17 World Tree Leaves Defensive Formation. All of them were forbidden spell level ultimate defensive techniques from the Gold Elf Empire. Only Gold Elves who had the royal bloodline were ever permitted to know about this…”

Now I understood why Kalumandas had glared at me with hatred as he died. Since his ultimate defensive techniques were a Gold Elf secret, he must have thought that Harloys had exposed information about him!

But to my knowledge, even though Harloys was really shameless, had a venomous tongue, was a tsundere that acted like a spoiled princess, and always tried to spy on my magical secrets… Cough, cough, she still had her own morals, and she would truly be nice in kind to others who were truly sincere to her.

“Abolar,” Harloys said a name in a heavy tone, causing me to pause in surprise. Who was Abolar again? Harloys decided to add a word of explanation. “…Didina.”

“Oh, your mother… whoops, I meant your father. Ahem, ahem, the weather is really nice today.”

I turned around to see that Harloys’ pretty face had a really dark expression as I expected. It seemed that Didina’s betrayal had made her furious, and that I should really refrain from talking.

But now, I really did have a headache.

It wasn’t that I would now have to fight Sophocles myself now. I had just thought about why Didina would give information to Sophocles. In a way, this was evidence that a new inference of mine had just been proved. This was the worst possible result.

“Sophocles is Karwenz’s true ally!”
