The Villain has Perished

Magic God Solomon

He was the Apocalypse of a weak world, the World of Swords & Magic. Despite that, he was one of the strongest and the most feared apocalypse in the multiverse. The reason were his two abilities:

The all-seeing eye that allowed him to gaze anywhere in the multiverse and peer into the past without any restriction.

And the ability to create life.

Solomon could create an infinite army in an instant. Numbers were useless against him. He would know your schemes before your allies because of his all-seeing eye. Even in the multiverse, where there was no shortage of bizarre abilities, he stood at the pinnacle.

It was honestly scary to have Solomon as an enemy. Thankfully, he joined Jae-sung's side in Vol 10. However, I was reincarnated when the novel reached Vol 12, so I couldn't say that Solomon didn't betray Jae-sung in the future and how it ended.

I could vividly remember the chapter when Jae-sung fought Solomon for the first time. It wasn't a battle, but a one-sided massacre. Jae-sung was absolutely thrashed. There was a line Solomon said at the end of the battle, 'You are alive after taking that attack? Rejoice plebeian, you have amused me and earned the right to live one more day.'

Solomon wasn't even trying to fight! He was the very definition of OP! Later, it was also explained that Solomon was weaker than in his prime. Solomon had long lost his abilities and had been able to recover only the all-seeing eye and life creation. And yet, he was feared across the multiverse.

Now, why was I praising Solomon to the ninth heaven?

Ignoring the loss of the absolutely necessary manpower – because a certain arrogant angel killed Solomon – the answer was Solomon's life creation ability.

Life creation was different from my summoning, yet at the same time, it was dreadfully similar. Was it a coincidence that Solomon was going to descend in my body?

In the past days, I had come up with a hypothesis: Solomon was dead before my reincarnation, or he was gravely injured. The Daemons were trying to revive him in my body and that is their mission in the Kamera continent.

If not, the coincidence of Solomon using my body when both of us had similar abilities was too scary. The chances were infinitely minuscule. This is why I believed my hypothesis to be correct.

But if I was correct, did my Summoning ability come from Solomon originally? After all, even if I had the summoning ability, there had to be a logical explanation for how I got the ability in this world and Solomon did say he 'regained' life creation.

The reason why this issue was complicated was that <Life Creation> was an attribute and an attribute belongs to a soul, not the body.

eαglesnᴏνel If Solomon was revived in my body in the novel, how did he take over my attribute? Did he evolve <Summoner> into <Life Creation> after that?

Or, was everything a coincidence? Was it by chance that Solomon and I had similar attributes?

I needed to look into my origins, my race, to know what the non-human part of me belonged to. That was my only lead to these mysteries.

'Hehehe~ I need to know if I can get Solomon's other abilities! They are too useful and powerful to pass up on!'

The monsters guarding the lake of purity raised their heads. Far away, they could see a cloud of dust coming in their direction.

A boar was charging at a frightening speed and causing dust to be kicked into the air. It was the only summon I had released as of now.

The time of judgment came shortly. Finally, both sides clashed.

However, I threw the firecrackers into their midst just before we made contact with the monsters. The monsters were similarly charging at us. I covered the boar's eyes for a few moments.

An intensely bright detonation took place. The monsters who were nearest to the firecrackers lost their vision and crashed. However, that wasn't all. An extremely pungent smell spread through the air. They started acting crazily and went on a rampage, attacking their allies too.

The monsters of the Forest of Silence had highly sensitive vision and sense of smell to compensate for the loss of hearing. The firecrackers I threw had a bright flare, bright enough to compete with the glare of the sun, and an extremely pungent smell that would stick to the ground and take a few hours to wash away. I bought the firecrackers back in Rapthial Town for this specific purpose today.

With their senses bombarded with too much information, the monsters couldn't attack. I flicked the 35 boar cards into the air and released the boars inside them!

Ding!

<<You have slain…>>

<<You have slain…>>

<<You have slain…>>

<<You…>>

<<You…>>

The boars fell on top of the monsters and flattened them like pancakes! Over 10 monsters died in the first clash!

I ignored the constant flux of notifications and ran ahead. For uncertain reasons, I could feel the judging gaze of a certain boar with a scar on its left eye on my back. Must be my imagination.

<Body strengthening>

My stats tripled, and I rushed with greater fervor. The monsters were slowly coming back to their senses, but the boars were also killing them at a frightening pace. The towering monsters were clashing against the Great Boars. It was as if I was running through a landmine, not knowing when I could suddenly die.

I took out a new mana stone and absorbed it. At the same time, I used <Cancel> on another boar. This was the 3rd time. My MP was running out faster than I could recover it.

Suddenly, a monstrous maw appeared on my left side. A hippopotamus-like monster was trying to eat me alive. I was about to dodge when a 7-meter monster was flung at me from the right side. There was neither space nor time to dodge anymore.

'<Summon Great Boar> x4'

Four Great boars came out from the ground. The boars stabbed the hippopotamus monster through its jaw with two tusks of two boars. The monster on my right was rammed and, like a volleyball, thrown back before it could land.

The 3rd Mortal Awakening monsters finally joined the fray. The tip of the scales was thrown in their favor.

'Shit! <Cancel> and mana stones can't keep up anymore. I need to use them!'

My sword stabbed through a monster's skull and using that as a foothold I jumped forward. My goal was to reach the lake.

'<Cancel Day-time Night-time Daisies> x5!'

My MP refilled instantaneously and I summoned another boar! Each daisy gave 20 MP upon using cancel. Five daisies meant 100 MP in one go! And I had 40 daisies to use!

The lake was now only 20 meters away from me. But before I could continue, a boar and a four-legged monster crashed in front of me. The two were fiercely wrestling for hegemony.

I grabbed my spare sword and pulled my arm back. My back was taut like a bow, and I threw the sword. The attack was only supposed to distract the monster so that the boar could kill it. However, contrary to my expectations, the attack hit its mark, the monster's eye.

A notification different from before rang.

Ding!

<<Throw level 1 learned!>>

–

<Throw>

<Level: 1>

<Cost: 2 Magic Power per throw>

<Description: By using body strengthening partially on your arms, you can increase the throw damage by 5%.>

–

The mayhem was too chaotic. I couldn't wait until I reached the lake. I used <Throw> and tossed the bag filled with mana stones into the lake.

Sizzle—!

The noise was distinct. I could hear it vividly as the mana stones dissolved into the lake. With this, I was left with only 10 2nd Mortal Awakening monsters' mana stones.

The battle continued. Against the monsters who were stronger and more numerous than us, our forces were rapidly draining.

Many-a-times, I was almost crushed by the fights between two monsters. But I continued to salvage the monsters who were dead and threw their mana stones into the lake.

Haah—! Haah—!

Clang!

My sword clashed against the hooves of a 4-meter-long bull. Sparks flew into the air and my arm shook. I could feel my stamina rapidly draining. Even if I could recover my MP quickly, draining it all and refilling it in such a short time was taking a toll on me.

A soft glow enshrouded my figure and I bolted ahead. The bull monster stomped its hooves. I rolled at the last second and slid in between the monster's limbs. My body continued to slide for a few more seconds.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Just as I was under the approximate location of its heart, I pushed my sword upward. The blade was met with resistance. But I increased the mana strengthening and swung my sword in a wide arc.

Ding!

<You have slain..>>

Before the notifications could end, I rolled away and the corpse of the monster fell with a heavy thud.

The situation on the battlefield wasn't any good either. The boars were almost undying as I kept summoning and canceling them, but the monsters were stronger.

The number of monsters was falling rapidly, yet the 3rd Mortal Awakening monsters were an undeniable headache. It was taking 3-4 boars to stop one 3rd Mortal Awakening monster. The only reason we hadn't lost yet was because the monsters were too many and the 3rd Mortal Awakening monsters were themselves having a hard time finding a gap to attack us.

The situation changed rapidly again.

The water of the lake surged, and a fragrant odor seeped into the surroundings. It was concentrated ambient mana, and it worked like a drug for the monsters. Their movements became heavy, and they went into a daze.

The ability to evolve rapidly pulled the monsters towards the lake, but the actual mechanism behind it worked on the concentrated mana.

The lake uses the ley line and the mineral mana stones underneath it to convert its water into concentrated mana.

However, there is a limit to the amount of dissolved mana the water can hold. When the amount of mana goes above that limit, it escapes into the atmosphere, and the monsters can sense this ambient mana. They are then overtaken by their instinct and happily come here.

I recreated this phenomenon by artificially saturating the lake using mana stones. And this was the result!

Spurt!

<<You have slain…>>

The tide of battle returned to our side! The monsters were trying to retaliate but they were like a drunkard, unable to respond to the attacks!

Their reactions, accuracy, and ferocity rapidly fell. So did their numbers!

Only the 3rd Mortal Awakening monsters could put up resistance, but their strength had also considerably weakened. It did not help them that I was concentrating summoning boars near them, not letting the monsters relax.

'We can win at this pace!'

Haah—! Haah—! Haah—!

My breathing was too heavy after an hour of constant fighting. Because I could die if a monster accidentally stepped on me, I couldn't afford to drop my vigilance.

To cover for my gaps, I was spreading mana around me and using it to sense my surroundings. It was worse than my other five senses and had a short range. But I could barely open my eyes due to exhaustion, so I had no right to complain.

The number of monsters continued to fall. Nevertheless, I continued to throw mana stones into the lake.

My summons weren't affected by ambient mana. They couldn't evolve and didn't have the same reaction to the concentrated ambient mana as the monsters. This was why they weren't intoxicated.

Unlike the soldiers and knights, my summons didn't feel fear and valiantly charged into the numbers. They didn't get tired and I could keep summoning them to maintain their numbers.

I could also summon boars in the enemy lines and take them by surprise. All these factors made the impossible possible. A single human defeating the monsters guarding the Lake of Purity!

'60 monsters left'

Black, blue, red, green, blood of all kinds was sprayed in the surroundings. Corpses and their organs lay out in the open. The alive, however, continued to clash, crushing the dead underneath their feet.

It was no longer a paradise but a hell.

'It took too long to…'

Something entered my mana sense. The feeling was vastly different from the normal monsters. My hair stood on the ends. It all happened too suddenly.

The intruder moved towards me. A heavy force struck me from the back.

Bam—! Bam—! Bam—!

My body rolled over and bounced a few times before coming to a stop. A rustic taste filled my mouth. As I stood up, blinding pain coursed through me, warning me of the broken bones.

The intruder, no, the ascended rank monster picked me up.

The monster was holding me with its massive nails that connected to its eerily long arms. It stood 10 meters tall, covered in coarse and matted fur of a brownish-gray color. It had a simian face with a long snout filled with sharp teeth and piercing yellow eyes.

I tightened my grip. The sword was still in my hands.

Synchronized Skill: <Bending Phantom Blade>

Schwing! x3

Three arcs slithered towards the arm holding me in the air. The illusionary as well as the real blade bent and twisted before striking.

My attack landed, but nothing changed. I wasn't let go. Instead, the tails of the monster flashed. I was going to die, my instinct blared alarms at me.

'<Summon Great Boars> x4!>'

Four Great Boars, each the size of a mini truck, appeared beneath me. They attacked the baboon monster. However, the next second they were ripped apart by the tails. The tails didn't stop moving and struck me.

I didn't die. The great boars reduced the power behind those tails, but it was enough to blow me away. The pain was overwhelming. It hurt all over. My consciousness was seeping away from my grasp.

Splash—!

…..

….

…

.

The ascended rank monster stared at Sol's drowning figure. The monster instinctively knew that Sol was the commander of the enemies. But he was too weak and easily disposed of.

The Great Boars roared and attacked. However, in front of its adamantium-like tails, they couldn't do anything. At last, only a boar with a scar on its left eye was left.

Suddenly, a whirlpool formed on the lake, and it surged violently.

The baboon screeched when the human was standing on the edge of the lake. His body was covered in blood, he was breathing heavily, he didn't have the energy to lift his head. However, he continued holding his sword.

The monster attacked instantly. Its tail tore through the air, aiming for Sol's neck. The human had to be eliminated quickly. It could feel fear creeping into it. The human was injured, but he was dangerous.

In response, Sol stepped forward.

Swoosh—!

A gust of wind blew and Sol disappeared. Was that a hallucination? The monster thought, but suddenly a voice came from behind.

"The lake helped me think clearly. You have my gratitude."

Schwing!

The monster spun its waist and looked back. However, its body didn't respond. Instead, its vision spun and it saw a human donning a black crown, standing behind a headless body. Then darkness engulfed its sight.
