The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter
Chapter Summary
Once again, with a strange whistling sound, a crescent moon of ice appeared in the sky. The mana consumption was tremendously high, but since he couldn’t maintain it for long anyway, Isaac had enough room to use it about three more times. Just by wielding that kind of magic amidst the pervasive effect of the Heavenly Clock, Isaac had already surpassed the realm of humanity.
Kwagak!
Isaac stomped the ground with his foot, and the surface cracked like tree roots, sending fragments flying.
Whoosh!
Isaac flew toward Vuel.
Once again, with a strange whistling sound, a crescent moon of ice appeared in the sky.
The mana consumption was tremendously high, but since he couldn’t maintain it for long anyway, Isaac had enough room to use it about three more times.
Everyone present could feel it.
Just by wielding that kind of magic amidst the pervasive effect of the Heavenly Clock, Isaac had already surpassed the realm of humanity.
[Ice Sovereign!
]Around Vuel, five spears of light wrapped in Divine Power were created.
The spears were fired all at once toward Isaac.
Suddenly, he disappeared.
[…Kugh!
]At the same time, a massive impact shattered Vuel’s helmet and directly struck his head.
It was Isaac’s fist.
When did he get this close?
Vuel felt a strong sense of doubt.
It couldn’t simply be a quick movement.
If it were movement, there should have been a reasonable gap between the moment Isaac disappeared and the moment the attack hit.
In an instant, Vuel’s head was crushed, and a shockwave exploded.
BOOM!!!
Then, Isaac’s fist swung.
The wind pressure whipped up like a storm, fiercely sending Vuel’s body across the air.
[Kugh!!
]Vuel barely held onto consciousness, spreading his heavenly wings wide to stop his flight using the increased air resistance.
His crushed head quickly healed with Divine Power, and his helmet returned to its original form.
[Cough!
]His cough was full of blood.
Vuel’s armor boasted extreme elemental resistance.
No matter how powerful Isaac’s ice magic was, it was difficult to deal damage to him.
Thus, physical strikes using bodily strength or weapons were more effective.
That was why Isaac used his fists.
[Unbelievable…]No matter how you look at it, is that really a punch that a human can unleash?
Vuel furrowed his brow and lifted his head.
Crack!
The crescent moon of ice shattered like glass, and Isaac pursued Vuel at lightning speed.
[That moon, what kind of magic is it…?
]Vuel muttered with a voice laced with confusion.
The [Ice Moon] was an ice magic that even the highest-ranked Heavenly Beings had never seen before.
Before that power, Vuel became less than a sluggish grub.
Once again, the crescent moon of ice appeared in the sky.
It was dazzling, radiant, and beautiful.
But above all, it was dangerous.
Truly dangerous.
Even though the duration of the [Ice Moon] was very short due to the effect of the Heavenly Clock, Vuel felt that even that brief moment was absurdly dangerous.
[To toy with the very flow of time, your arrogance knows no bounds!
Just what are you…!
]Vuel’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he was left speechless.
He looked at Isaac again and realized.
The unknown monster that had been hiding within his essence was nowhere to be seen.
It was just Isaac.
Nothing more.
In the time he hadn’t seen him, Isaac had devoured the unknown monster hiding within his essence and grown even stronger.
[This makes no sense…]That monster possessed enough mana to easily devour this world.
Vuel had assumed the monster was the source of Isaac’s power.
It wasn’t.
Even that monster was merely nourishment for Isaac’s growth.
A boundless fear, like the darkness beyond the heavens, engulfed Vuel.
How could such a human possibly exist?
[You monster!
]To hide his fear, Vuel furrowed his brow and glared at Isaac, releasing his Divine Power at full force.
[There are limits to how far you can go!
You, a mere human, dare to covet divinity!!
]As Vuel swung his arm roughly, hundreds of rays of light stretched toward Isaac.
At the same time, an uppercut smashed into Vuel’s jaw.
Boom!!
[Kugh!!
]The sound of something breaking was drowned out by the explosion.
It was Isaac’s fist, power layered upon power.
The helmet that had barely regenerated was helplessly shattered, and with a crushing force aimed to pulverize his head, the mighty impact sent Vuel’s body soaring upward.
Isaac flew above him at an even faster speed, extending his long leg upward.
At that moment, Vuel witnessed the pale blue glow of the [Ice Sovereign] flowing from his enemy’s eyes.
It was a gaze as if looking down on someone beneath him, so calm and composed.
To Isaac, Vuel had become nothing more than a trivial plaything.
[…!!
]Crash!!!
Boom!!!
Isaac’s leg slammed down onto Vuel’s abdomen.
With an explosion, Viel’s armor shattered into pieces, and his body plummeted rapidly.
[Kkeuk!
]Vuel hastily released Divine Power to restore his armor.
At that moment, Isaac reached the ground so fast it seemed like he had teleported.
Smash!!
Isaac threw a punch at the falling Vuel.
His regenerated armor shattered, and Isaac’s fist sank deep into Vuel’s chest.
Though Vuel had lost his immortality, he still boasted a sturdy body thanks to his full armor.
Yet even that body was helpless against Isaac’s overwhelming strength.
Vuel’s body was once again sent flying through the air, and his armor regenerated in the blink of an eye.
But before he could even hit the ground, Isaac flew in faster and kicked him upward.
And so it repeated, again and again.
Vuel poured out his Divine Power in resistance, but it was futile.
He could only helplessly trace powerless arcs through the air, again and again.
A chain of chilling sounds spread.
This was nothing short of mockery.
The silver armor, renowned for its hardness and elemental resistance amongst high-ranking Heavenly Beings, shattered as easily as glass over and over.
It was as useless as an egg trying to withstand the force of descending steel.
[What on earth… is happening…?
]He couldn’t even lift a hand.
The difference in strength was on a completely different level.
“This isn’t even a match…”“How is that even possible…?
”Everyone watching the battle between Isaac and Vuel was in awe.
That powerful Heavenly Being was unable to even match him.
“Amazing…”Even the Lightning Sovereign uttered in awe.
To be able to exert such strength, even in this barren environment where magic couldn’t be properly used due to the effect of the Heavenly Clock.
Even the Elemental Kings were left speechless at the sight.
“Lord Vuel…!
”The Heavenly Being Methel Valencia couldn’t close her mouth at the sight of Vuel being helplessly beaten, while Gerald raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
Vuel barely clung to his fading consciousness, trying to fight back.
The crescent moon of ice appeared again, and Isaac vanished, followed by a powerful impact that overwhelmed Vuel.
Vuel’s body was sent soaring high into the sky.
His body had already reached its limit.
He could no longer mount any counterattack against Isaac.
Thud.
Isaac instantly reached Vuel, grabbed his leg, and spun him several times in the air.
Then, he violently hurled Vuel downward.
Whiiiish!!
CRASH!!!
Vuel plummeted through the air like a beam of light.
The ground shattered, forming a crater, and Vuel could no longer regenerate his armor, coughing up a large amount of blood.
[Kugh…!
]Isaac quickly descended and stomped hard on Vuel’s chest.
Kwaaang!!
Vuel’s internal organs were crushed, and he vomited even more blood.
The ground caved in, scattering debris, and the crater deepened further.
Dust rose into the air, and within it, a supreme being emanating a soft pale blue chill gazed down at Vuel with cold eyes.
This was an entirely unexpected outcome.
[To feel such helplessness… it’s the first time since facing our god…]Vuel, overwhelmed by deep despair, let out a hollow laugh.
His voice was mixed with blood.
Would bringing all the highest Heavenly Beings even be enough to stand against Isaac?
Just thinking that way already meant the balance of power had collapsed.
“I know why you caused all of this.
”[As expected… you know too much…]“I don’t intend to condemn your intentions, but in the end, you tried to sacrifice me and everyone here to achieve them,” Isaac spoke coldly, extending his right hand toward Vuel’s face.
In his hand, ice mana swirled and condensed, forming the spell for the 5-star ice spell [Frost Explosion].
Vuel couldn’t move or draw out his Divine Power.
Just clinging to his fading consciousness was all he could manage.
“That’s something I can’t forgive.
”[…I see.
]Vuel looked at Isaac’s stern and calm face, faintly smiling.
[This is my defeat.
]Then, the gathered ice mana exploded.
Kwaaang!!
A powerful shockwave engulfed Vuel.
His head exploded, and the natural mana around him froze, spreading ice shards in all directions.
Within the swirling cold, Vuel’s body broke down into particles and gently scattered.
Rumble!
The spear completed above the Black Stone’s crater began to collapse.
The natural mana that formed the spear scattered and poured into the crater.
Vuel’s rebel army, watching the collapsing Spear of Longinus, realized Vuel’s defeat and eventually laid down their weapons, surrendering.
The Allied Forces raised their weapons and shouted in victory.
“Haa, it’s over…”Isaac bowed his head and let out a deep sigh of relief.
From the Nether to here.
He had been incredibly anxious, but fortunately, he wasn’t too late.
With overwhelming relief, Isaac’s legs gave out beneath him.
“President!
”“Isaac…!
”Before he knew it, Dorothy and Kaya flew over, supporting Isaac side by side.
Exhausted, Isaac felt drowsiness take over and sleepily glanced back and forth between them.
He hugged their shoulders.
Dorothy’s eyes widened, and Kaya involuntarily blushed, exclaiming, “Hya…!
”“Sorry, I’ll sleep for a bit…”Isaac, leaning on their shoulders, buried his head and closed his eyes.
His body went completely limp.
“…You worked hard.
”Dorothy gazed at Isaac with gentle eyes and stroked the back of his head.
Kaya, with tears welling in her eyes, smiled with relief.
“We were worried… Welcome back.
”Fwaaaa!
Soon, another brilliant light poured down from the sky as fully armed Heavenly Beings descended.
The Heavenly Beings dispatched from Heaven had finally reached the human world.
The effect of the Heavenly Clock had diminished.
The surviving Heavenly Being remnants had shackles of Divine Power placed on their bodies, and they screamed in pain as they were bound.
Dorothy and Kaya briefly glanced at them, assessed the situation, and then held Isaac even tighter.
Isaac, sound asleep, softly breathed as if unaware of the world.
His face was incredibly peaceful.
