The Black Sorcerer, Lilith Absinthe Bellatrix. a 5-star magic-caster, started with the incantation of her ultimate spell, it is a dark magic that is specialized in piercing through any type of barrier. the only drawback is that it requires a huge amount of life force and taking a huge toll on the user's body.
she aimed for the barrier surrounding the evil god. she still need time to complete the spell. she is in a vulnerable state. she cannot move.
So instead of trying to break through the shield of the evil god, the other nine people decided to protect Lilith. they have to believe that she can do it.
There's still hope in their eyes despite facing the horrific power of the evil god.
it feels like the end of the world, but they still chose to believe in each other. they are all companions in this war. they have witnessed everyone's strength. for the past month, they all fought together. there is no way they will lose hope when they are all alive.
The evil god smirked in triumph
"What are you going to do now? attempt to penetrate the aspect of twilight? let me tell you these mortals, this is the realm of gods, the 7th tier which you mortals could never set foot on."
The evil god let out a soft joyful laugh.
Lilith didn't lose her momentum, she continue to consume the life force that is inside the arm of the dragon lord, blood started to flow out of her nose and eyes, while her allies defended her from the attacks of the evil god.
"Please hold out for the last seconds."
"Do not worry about us miss Lilith, we are fine."
"I'm almost done!"
"....." everyone was waiting for her signal.
"NOW!" it was a dark violet lance-shaped magic energy, it was energy made with the life force from the arm of the dragon lord.
Lilith shot forward the grand spell that she prepared. and at the same time, all of the other people on the battlefield prepared themselves to attack.
right after Lilith's magic comes in contact with the aspect of twilight, the nine people start to attack again simultaneously. they were confident that they can penetrate the 7th-tier spell even without assurance. it is because all of them are distinguished people. they are all in the realm of heroes, the absolutes.
each one of them is considered the strongest. yes, they are the strongest people in this time. they are by no means weak. they are composed of the best talents and power.
*Crackle
they heard a crackling sound followed by the sound of shattering glass.
they're successful in breaking the barrier, they felt a short joyous moment before they saw the barrier that was supposedly gone, was still intact. no, it got smaller and like a ticking bomb, the barrier shines a blinding light before it exploded.
*BOOOOM
they are all caught up in the explosion. they were all blinded by the light. after the light has diminished, the other four people were nowhere to be found. only Orthos, Lilith, the other three, and the Dragon Lord who protected them are remaining. the four people that got caught up directly in the explosion turned into ashes.
the look of despair can be seen on everybody's face, not even the Dragon Lord could remained calm.
"Now, don't you see how different we are?"
they can see the evil god's silhouette.
the dragon lord who is in his dragon form from the beginning didn't have a choice and transformed into his human form, it took its toll by forcefully negating the shockwave, he was deeply wounded and almost lose his remaining arm.
after the smoke is gone, they saw the gruesome state of the evil god. she's in a vulnerable state. even her. the one who cast the spell isn't excluded from the aftermath of the explosion.
"Orthos, Lilith, Bernaus, Clive, Draculion"
Emperor Orthos the Great Swordsman, Lilith the Black Sorcerer, the Summoner Bernaus, Dark elf Clive the Bow master, and the Vampire King Draculion. the Dragon Lord draws their attention.
"This is our best chance to lay a surprise attack on the evil god. she's in a mess. her guards are down."
after snapping back to their senses the five remaining people regained their composure.
"Let's make it this time."
"Let's put an end to this."
without any delay, they immediately started their strike. they poured their remaining energy, strength, and mana into the attacks.
"Insolent fools!" the evil god already lost one eye.
Draculion positioned himself into her blindspot to take advantage while the evil god was busy confronting the dragon lord and orthos head-on.
Lilith, Bernaus, and Clive cover the two melee fighters.
Draculion stabbed the right shoulder of the exhausted evil god with his long whip that has a sharp point and sucked its blood.
Draculion was buffed, he healed his wounds and regenerated his arm. it was an overpowered characteristic of a vampire. no, it is only possible because he is the vampire king and it is the blood of a god that he ingested.
a vampire who stepped on the realm of absolutes became more explosive for the most important part of the battle.
The war is nearing its end.
The evil god is also nearing its end.
Her majestic form was nowhere to be seen.
She is now like a trapped beast and was driven by her instinct to survive.
After a long bloody battle against the army of the evil god, the whole continent has been set free from her dominion...

Anon exhales after reading a long storybook.
"So it is true."
On the way to the farmas city, while riding the carriage. Lilia has educated Anon about how the world works.
In this world, the highest point of magic was the 4th tier and there is only one known person that has stepped into this domain. for the 3rd tier, only the talented mages can reach this tier, they are usually the court mages of a country. then the 2nd tier, a person can achieve magic up to this point when studying in an academy or being an adventurer. and for the last, the 1st tier. it is the most common of all magic, one can use magic in this tier when one wields enough amount of mana. but not everyone is born with it. each tier has a huge gap in between. it is like heaven and earth, and there is a distinction on every tier, it is called the early stage, middle stage, and final stage. one can only attain the next tier level after they passed through the final stage.
'the 5th tier, on the other hand, is something that is only in the history books. it is a legend. and according to the book of orthos, the 7th tier is the realm of the gods.'
Anon was still deep in his thought about the power structure of this world.
"I got the 7th tier when I reached level 65 in the game, so how strong am I in this world?"
...
....
..
yeah, how strong is he in this world when he has reached level 100 and the 11th tier?
he was certain that the 7th tier in the game and the 7th tier in this world are just the same, it is because he also has the skill [aspect of twilight], a double-edged magic barrier.
he looked at the mirror, then gave himself a perplexed look. he looks like an idiot.
"I want to test the limit of my power, but I can't just use it recklessly."
then he approached the window, he can see people starting to crowd the street.
it is almost evening, this is the time he's been waiting for.
'Finally, I can get to experience this fantasy-like moment.'
"Aahhh, thank you very much Blackhole-Kun."
_ _ _ _ _
there was an endless crowd of people, much more than what he has seen in the maple town. Anon took a bite of the street food that he was holding.
*Mumbling speeches.
in the middle of the main road, there was an extravagant carriage passing by.
a longhorn was sounded followed by the trumpet.
"This must be from a noble family."
it was a carriage being pulled by three white horses. and was carrying a flag with the eagle sign. everyone was stepping aside to give way to the carriage.
"It is the son of duke Augustus."
two persons were talking on his side.
'It is heading to the academy. it seems that the academy was really famous.'
then a man shouted out loud.
"His grace Auman Penardo from the Penardo duchy has arrived, everyone must offer respect upon his arrival."
Anon can see a young noble, looking through the window of the carriage.
_ _ _ _ _
"There are a lot of people again this time, grey."
"That's true, your grace."
"So what are your plans for this upcoming semester?"
"I'm still trying to complete my summoning spell your grace."
"Please, just call me by my name. we are the only ones inside this carriage so I don't mind it, what are friends for right?"
"Yes, you're right. well, how about you Auman?"
"The headmaster was asking me if I can lead the opening ceremony, so I accepted his offer."
"Congratulations. so, you will be the face of the academy for the students this year huh."
"I think the daughter of Count Furion will be the better choice, she has excellent talent."
"Don't think of yourself to be lower than her, you have the charm and charisma to lead people which she doesn't have, you have a different talent than her. that's why you were the one chosen by the headmaster."
"But let's just admit the fact that she was better than me in using magic, she could be an asset for the empire in the future."
"Yeah, you're right. I believe she can make it to the position of an Imperial Mage under the Court Wizard Plaradus."
"Ohh, you don't know how much I envy her for her talent."
"Well, having a talented person from the empire gives us more security. I can't wait to see her rise to the Imperial Court Mage."
"That's true, the more secured we are, the easier for us to manage our territories when the time comes that we inherit our lands from our father."
Auman Penardo the heir of the Penardo duchy and Grey Helor, son of a baron in the Penardo duchy was having a conversation while they were traveling to the academy.
they were both best friends since their childhood, and also their family are close friends, so there is no problem for the duke to let Grey accompany his son to the academy...

*Door creaking*
"Woah."
Anon was a fanatic of fantasy-based games and novels ever since he was a child. so normally, entering a hub at night is one of his wishes and dream.
And right now it is happening...
