I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

Chapter 274: Absolute Evil (3)

“You’re asking what’s the best way to fight if we return to our dragon forms?”

At my question, the Seven-Colored Dragon, Kim Cheol-soo, sank into deep thought.

“Well, there are plenty of options, right? If we revert to our dragon forms, we become ridiculously massive, but it’s not like our perception diminishes.”

“True, true. And it’s not like we’re slow either, is it? It doesn’t even take ten minutes to circle the Earth.”

“Our speed isn’t an issue, sure… But our youngest is stronger in human form, so it’s like—does he even need to?”

“Should we still teach him dragon fighting techniques?”

After shedding my status as a transcendent being, I asked the dragons about their combat methods.

“Humans, by nature, rely on finesse. They hone powers like sword energy or sword aura to kill their opponents—that’s their basic fighting style.”

“But dragons are a bit different. If I were to put it in human terms… we fight based on scale.”

“Humans are limited in the mana they can contain, but dragons are not. From birth, we possess infinite mana. By human calculations, the average dragon has around 10 billion tetra.”

“Even so, it takes less than an hour for us to recover. The mana overflowing in the world naturally transfers its power to us.”

“There’s a reason why wizards aim for our hearts.”

“Anyway, to get back on track, dragons fundamentally fight with their sheer scale. If an opponent tries anything, we use dragon words to restrict their actions, attack with magic, and for the final blow, unleash the power of our breath. Like this—whoosh!”

Eun Yu-ha puckered her lips and blew air.

“Ugh… Damn it. Didn’t I tell you not to do that?”

“Youngest, Cheol-soo is bullying me again. Punish him….”

“Anyway, as that idiot just said, dragon combat is simple. If I detect an opponent and they’re weak, I just swat them away with my wings. If they’re stronger, I knock them out with a punch. And if they still bother me? A single breath will….”

“But honestly, our combat style doesn’t suit you.”

Eun Yu-ha looked at me.

“You’re called the Giant Dragon, right? Judging by your form, you seem more inclined towards physical combat. Fighting with your limbs seems more fitting for you.”

“…Let’s see how the youngest looks first.”

I went out into space and transformed.

“…Youngest? Why are you so big?”

“With that size, you could lead all of us. Even if the six of us combined, we’d only be half your size.”

“If you transformed on Earth, we’d see it from here….”

“…Now I understand why you asked how dragons should fight. This is a bit of a problem….”

Kim Cheol-soo stared at me, who had collapsed on the ground after finishing my transformation.

“Youngest. Before I became a transcendent, I taught a guy called Kwon Ma for a while. How about boxing, like me?”

“I’ll stick to swords.”

“Eh… Then it can’t be helped. But with that form, wouldn’t it be better to just charge in and beat them senseless…?”

“Since you’re not adept at magic. Still, with that size, even one breath attack would be devastating.”

“The efficiency might be bad, but with a single breath, most apostles would be wiped out, wouldn’t they?”

Kim Cheol-soo patted my shoulder and said,

“Good job, youngest. You’re my equal, or maybe even more….”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Hey, Kim, get over there and seal the rift.”

Grumbling, Kim Cheol-soo left to seal the rift.

Cecilia looked at me with pride in her eyes.

“As a fellow black dragon, I’m proud of you, youngest.”

“Ah… Yes….”

Well, it was only natural.

When you think about it, dragon gods claimed their titles based on colors, but giants were different.

‘Am I a dragon close to being a giant?’

Clink.

Dark blue scales began to cover my body.

I moved slowly. A blue force lifted me.

Was it because I retained the traits of a Giant Dragon until the end?

In the process of turning into a true dragon, my body transformed into a massive form, like a fusion of a giant and a dragon.

Dragon scales completely covered me.

A dragonkin form.

This was the form that emerged when unleashing power here, but transforming directly was dangerous.

‘This size is just too much.’

With a sigh, I moved through the void using the blue energy.

Although it lacked the destructive power of black energy, blue energy excelled in support and lifted me forward.

Thump.

My heart pounded.

The throbbing wouldn’t stop.

It was as if a ferocious power was whispering to me.

As if it wanted to burst out into the world, my heart trembled violently.

Clink, clink.

Scales enveloped me. My perception expanded over a vast range.

‘So this is a dragon’s scale….’

My body grew. While the average dragon’s base size was around 100 meters, I far surpassed that.

5 km.

That was the length from my head to the tip of my tail.

I could hear shouts from people staring at me from all directions.

“He, Heaven….”

“What, what is that? Has an evil god invaded?”

“What on Earth is that massive… No, wait. Those are scales? Could it be a dragon?”

I ascended. I didn’t flap my wings.

I merely thought about rising upward, and before I knew it, I was already soaring.

‘As expected, this is insanely fast.’

At this speed, I could easily travel several hundred kilometers in an instant.

It was truly an absurd velocity.

Once I became accustomed to using dragon words or flying, I could shorten that time even further.

I moved northward.

The movement was instantaneous. Within fractions of a second—so brief it could be measured in hundreds of milliseconds—my body surged forward.

In a flash, I passed over North Korea and reached the border region of Russia.

And it was there that I encountered it.

A vortex of colossal corpses.

‘Vicious Abomination.’

A shiver ran down my spine.

The moment I saw it, a voice inside me screamed to kill it.

In other words, it posed a threat to me.

Kuooooooohhhhh────!!!

The entity also noticed me. Of course, how could it not with my massive body?

I calmly conserved my strength.

Opening my mouth wide, I began to gather energy.

The stars within me started to rotate.

Infinite black energy began to converge in front of my mouth.

The power of breath. Compressing one’s fundamental energy into a devastating attack. While it might not seem special, its classification as a power is clear.

‘It draws out the latent potential of fundamental energy.’

Black energy, vast in scale, mixed with blue.

A dark blue sphere, as large as a small hill, began to form.

──────────────────────!!!!!!!

I unleashed my breath attack.

The dark blue beam pierced through the Vicious Abomination’s body, obliterating the mountains beyond it.

‘I focused as much as I could on the Abomination….’

The mere aftermath of the attack.

Even with overwhelming control focusing the energy solely on the Abomination, the residual force erased the surrounding mountains.

Where the Abomination once stood was now a massive crater.

It resembled a bottomless abyss, ready to swallow anything.

The spot where my breath concentrated had left the land hollowed to an infinite depth.

‘I didn’t expect this to be over just yet.’

It was still intact, more than I anticipated.

I reverted to my human form. Using blue energy, I formed wings and descended slowly.

Keek.

A vortex of corpses—everything it consumed, mixed into its body.

At the center of it all was a gaping hole.

Could this even be called a living creature?

It had no will, existing merely as a presence.

A being that burned with hatred the moment it saw life, consuming it without question.

“They said it’s more of a concept.”

A concept of evil, mixed and twisted together.

That was the essence of the Vicious Abomination.

I gazed at the Abomination calmly.

The massive mound of corpses, which had once rivaled the size of a mountain, had diminished significantly. I had inflicted some damage.

“Let’s proceed.”

I unsheathed the Black Heavenly Demon Sword. I also drew the Sword of the Four Seasons.

-Master.

Black Heaven emerged quietly, wrapping her arm around my neck.

Ziiing!

The power created by Black Heaven.

The stronger the connection, the more powerful the Black Heavenly Demon Sword became. That’s why, when Black Heaven herself fought, she couldn’t help but rely on it.

-Is it uncomfortable?

“No, it’s not that.”

It’s just a bit… uncanny, perhaps? Well, since Black Heaven was in a spiritual form, it didn’t interfere too much.

I crossed the two swords.

“I need to keep dealing continuous damage.”

I assessed the Vicious Abomination.

Abnormal defense. And incredible regeneration.

Perhaps it’s because it has consumed tens of millions of lives. Even with my breath, I could only create holes in its body.

“Luckily, there’s no one nearby.”

A smirk spread across my face.

I came here to stop it.

But more than that, I wanted to test my power.

I wanted to kill all things touched by the evil god’s traces, these demonic remnants.

I stomped the ground and swung my swords in a crossing motion.

“At first, it’s a wave.”

A transcendent sword energy rose, black in color, followed by a coating of blue.

The power amplified. Its size grew.

“Whoo—”

The stars within me rotated.

Infinite energy, filling my body, supplied me like an endless sea.

“At first…”

A wave.

I swung my sword.

The sword energies overlapped. Dozens of sword energies split into hundreds, which in turn split into thousands.

The thousands of sword energies merged to form the shape of a wave.

Whooooosh—

The wave of transcendent sword energy struck the Vicious Abomination’s body.

‘Absolute Stat.’

But this wasn’t the end.

I fine-tuned the wave-shaped sword energies using my sword skills and absolute stats.

Crack!

The wave rose higher, spinning like a dragon’s vortex, creating a storm.

The storm of sword energies, sharp enough to tear everything apart, absorbed everything in its path.

With the blue power, I expanded its size infinitely.

─────

It transformed into the shape of clouds.

The transcendent sword energy, unable to reach the top with the wave or storm, attacked in the form of clouds.

Rumbleeeee!

The sound of thunder echoed.

The cloud-shaped transcendent sword energy transformed directly into lightning and struck down from above.

“Phew.”

An attack that fully utilized my sword skills.

When comparing this to my breath and its destructive power, it might be weaker, but I believed this attack would be more effective in erasing defense and regeneration.

…To take that attack head-on and remain unharmed…

As Black Heaven had said, it was not completely unscathed.

It, too, had been injured.

To say the attack didn’t meet expectations would be more accurate.

‘Even so, this much is impressive.’

I couldn’t help but smile.

It was no surprise that it could be compared to an evil god.

‘Next…’

It’s time to experiment with this so-called evil divinity.
