Looking at the people below who had not escaped, Demon God Cerberus's several heads revealed a smile, and mana surged from the mouths of its savage beast heads, gathering magic in the mouths of all fifty heads.
Among them were storms, frost and snow, water currents, flames, and poisonous gas… The power of this attack… was unimaginable!
The mana Heavenly Canon had accumulated and absorbed was fed back to Bai En, and the refined, abundant mana gave him an unparalleled sense of exhilaration. "Right here, right now, surpass… the limit!"
"Mana Zone 'Mikuriya' full power!"
A 200-meter diameter Mana Zone expanded and appeared, with all surrounding natural mana at Bai En's disposal. The zone's range also covered Demon God Cerberus.
The three-leaf grimoire floating beside him flipped to its last page, and magic characters quietly appeared on it. Through unremitting effort and continuous research, the final chapter unique to Mikuriya had come into being.
A colossal shrine with four ferocious gaping mouths emerged from the silent ground behind Bai En, and the piles of buffalo bones next to the shrine represented slaughter and death.
With the final chapter of this Mana Zone unfolding, everything within the sinking zone would become foul matter on a cutting board, listening to the sound of the world's demise.
"Magic Conversion," "Heavenly Canon," "General," "Nine Lights," "Face Cutter," "Frost Ember," "Shattered Dream." Bai En stood before the shrine and coldly called out his seven cooking utensils, beginning the ritual before magic release.
Although "Frost Ember" and "Shattered Dream" had not undergone physical tempering, under the long-term nurturing of mana, they had reached the minimum usable limit for completing the ritual. Despite their flaws, they were… enough.
The eerie shrine and the floating swords appeared before Demon God Cerberus, but at this moment, it would not fear anything before it; it was now in its complete form!
Nothing could stop its advance.
The magic within its gaping maws combined to form a gigantic sphere. This energy ball, condensed from fifty types of magic, crushed the surrounding space, resembling a miniature black hole, and began to roll forward with an arrogant posture.
"Magic Conversion."
As Bai En's voice fell, the black iron sword flew out swiftly, instantly piercing through the arrogant energy ball and embedding itself into Demon God Cerberus's side.
Before activating magic, the first step in processing food: converting magic into mana.
The ritual did not stop. Heavenly Canon flashed and arrived, inserting itself into Cerberus's other side. Before activating magic, the second step in processing food: absorbing the food's mana.
"General! Nine Lights!"
Bai En's voice was sharp. A small sword hung above Demon God Cerberus, its blade wreathed in dark, shadowy energy. Immense pressure bore down from the sky, causing Cerberus's heads to lower and its limbs to bend.
The violet-glowing Nine Lights floated beside the small sword, and with the unfolding gravity field, it began to erode the Demon God's five senses bit by bit.
Before activating magic, the third and fourth steps in processing food: suppressing the food to prevent movement, and making the food lose its five senses.
Following General and Nine Lights, Face Cutter traversed and sliced the Demon God in an arc. Blood splattered, staining the mana-condensed buffalo bones on the ground a dark red. It completed the cutting step.
Frost Ember released flames that enveloped the Demon God, and Shattered Dream's blade shattered into thousands of fragments, floating like starlight within the flames. The last two cooking utensils completed the steps of cooking and seasoning the food.
The seven steps of the food processing ritual, which must be completed before activating magic: dispelling magic, absorbing mana, suppressing movement, losing five senses, cutting food, cooking, seasoning, and enhancing flavor, were complete.
Magic activation, or the so-called "eating."
"Mikuriya · Final Chapter 'Sword Extinction · Dance of Heavenly Descent'!"
A void-like, pale ghostly figure appeared behind Bai En. He swung his sword, striking the Demon God's body, yet it seemed to pass directly through, and faintly, the sound of snapping lines could be heard.
Those were the lines of causality and destiny connected to Demon God Cerberus.
Within the cold, murderous domain, a deep sword mark was imprinted on Demon God Cerberus's broken body.
This was the certain-strike, certain-hit · absolute kill, absolute annihilation · causality-severing blade!
Bai En did not swing his blade, but the faint hum of a sword could be heard in the void, "Om."
The Mana Zone dissipated, and Demon God Cerberus along with the revived shadowy presence were erased, as if they had never appeared in this world.
The seven cooking utensils returned to the grimoire.
"Frost Ember" and "Shattered Dream," which had not undergone physical tempering, emitted a "crack." Glass-like cracks appeared on their long blades. Perhaps if they were used again to complete Mikuriya's final chapter, the embryos of these two cooking utensils would completely shatter and never appear in this world again.
"I need to quickly find tempering materials to complete the tempering of these two cooking utensils."
Bai En summarized his first use of the strongest magic he had planned for a long time, "Mana consumption is very high. The mana previously accumulated through repeated use of Heavenly Canon was almost completely depleted in this one attack."
"The seven steps of the ritual also require a certain amount of time… If the enemy had taken the opportunity to escape…"
"Also… I don't know why, but this magic seems to only be able to target one objective… Perhaps it's a mana issue, or a problem with the prerequisite ritual…"
"Ah, ah ~ Never mind, never mind. One shouldn't always be too greedy, and as the remaining two cooking utensils are tempered, the magic will also become more complete."
Bai En muttered to himself as he walked backward. All the newly grown Bronze Flowers withered in an instant, and the thick Bronze Trees began to break and collapse. Demon God Cerberus had dissipated from this world, and its blood derivatives naturally should no longer exist.
The vast Bronze Fertile Plains became a barren land.
Although it no longer possessed the strange and beautiful scenery of before, the cold, damp, and bloody smell was gone from the wind.
After repeatedly rubbing his eyes to confirm that the Demon God would not revive, Thor did not shout with excitement, nor did he step forward to ask Bai En how he did it. He simply fell backward and lay quietly on the ground.
"It's all over now…"
"So, the Heavenly Oracle can be wrong too. A Demon God can be killed. That kid… he's truly amazing."
A comfort he hadn't felt in a long time enveloped his heart, and Thor slowly fell asleep… "Ah, ah, ah!"
"What did you do?! Where's the Demon God? You didn't kill it, did you? Didn't they say that guy was immortal?" Gosen rushed over, yelling and making a fuss. He tugged at Bai En's arm and clothes, examining him closely.
"By the way, are you really from that rural place, Hage Village? What did you eat to grow up… so powerful?"
Rill stumbled out of Jackey's embrace and quickly ran over: "Bai En ~ What kind of magic did you use just now? Can you use it again? Oh, oh ~ Or maybe we can fight? Maybe a 'bang' of inspiration will come?"
"Hey, how about it, Bai En…?"
