Ch. 94.1 - Maizen Tyren (3)

When Baek Yu-Seol arrived at the scene, it was already a battlefield.

All the students had collapsed, and the female protagonists were in a state of exhaustion, having expended all their mana.

Mayuseong was injured and staggering as well.

Still... it was fortunate that no one had died.

Well, by taking the blood and mana of living mages, he could absorb their power more efficiently, so maybe they were purposely left alive.

"Now, the only person who can fight right now is..."

Only one person.

Mayuseong alone stood firmly, without losing consciousness.

But somehow, his condition was strange.

His body was covered in wounds, yet it was strange that he hadn't collapsed immediately.

Of course... an ordinary human would be unable to move in that condition.

But Mayuseong could.

He had truly numerous 'abilities' at his disposal.

The [Indomitable] that grew stronger with each injury.

The [Healing Factor] that automatically gradually healed wounds.

The [Price of Pain] that intensified mana when in agony.

The [Wind of Regeneration] that consumed mana to fully restore the body in the event of a fatal injury.

The [Mana Restoration Body] that consumed stamina to recover mana when it ran low, and so on... Countless abilities were currently restoring Mayuseong.

"Hey, are you okay..."

Baek Yu-Seol was about to speak, but he stopped when he saw the mechanical look in his eyes.

"The taste is gone."

One of the most powerful abilities possessed by Mayuseong, [Dark Mana Form].

As an ability that allowed him to freely transition between being a human and a dark mana user, it would be incredibly advantageous in this situation, as he could not only unleash powerful magic but also utilize [Dark Mana Domination].

However... even using that ability would require it to be willingly activated.

If he sustained severe injuries and lost consciousness, dark mana would naturally seep out, irrespective of his own will.

Unlike other dark mana users, Mayuseong’s whites of the eyes were tainted black, and his irises were instead unnaturally white.

Those alien and eerie eyes gave a weird impression, but perhaps Mayuseong was still maintaining his sanity. He had simply lost all emotions.

"Baek Yu-Seol."

"Yeah...?"

"I can't kill him with my firepower. Can you do it?"

Without a doubt, his former gentle and considerate tone was nowhere to be found, and it was replaced by a cold voice which seemed to be emanating from a machine.

"I can. If given the chance, just once."

"... Alright. I'll believe you."

The conversation ended there.

Mayuseong looked ahead, and soon the fog cleared to reveal Maizen Tyren walking towards them.

Now, his stature had grown to nearly 4 meters, and countless stems of dark crystals extended and writhed in his surroundings.
