The president is so funny!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy burst into laughter, unconcerned that I might be left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covered in starlight mana, we were weightlessly flying through the air towards Bartos Hall at high speeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all my might, I desperately held onto my consciousness that felt like it would fade at any moment, and screamed at the top of my lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we flew like that, it took us 3 minutes to reach Bartos Hall from that distant cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Dorothy kicked the door down with her leg covered in starlight mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could finally feel the bliss of walking on the ground after basically being in a state of weightlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blech…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to lie down on the floor and vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the sight of Dorothy grabbing her stomach as she burst into laughter was quite irritating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because we entered with the use of magic, the Trump Soldiers all began to assume battle stances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their spears came out and pointed at Dorothy in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you pointing your spears at?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy said with a smug expression as she lightly flicked her hand wrapped in starlight mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Mini Supernova (Starlight Element, ★4)」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom–! Boom–! Boom–! Boom–! Boom–! Boom–! Boom–! Boom–!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incredible sight unfolded before my eyes as the level 130 Trump Soldiers exploded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion of starlight was very colorful and diverse. It felt like I was watching a fireworks display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, nice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nihihi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I gave her a thumbs-up, Dorothy returned it with a wide grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time to get to work, president!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! I’m counting on you, senior!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, leave it to this big sis!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy confidently answered while putting her hand on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so adorable. I couldn’t help but giggle despite the urgent situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started to run up the large red-carpeted central staircase. While running, I recalled the time from when I checked the clock tower. I had five minutes before the Evil God was resurrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take four to five minutes to reach the roof from here. Time was running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Black Rabbit (Neutral Element, ★7)」 「Dwarf Star (Starlight Element, ★5)」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuwaaa────!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chararara────!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I reached the top of the staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black rabbit flew towards me, radiating a dark aura, but a brilliant explosion of mana repelled the rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave created by it lightly pushed me, which caused me to fly sideways and roll down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, you were the one causing the interference?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice Carroll, the elegant student council president with a dignified appearance and flowing golden hair, walked towards me with a bored expression as she uttered that line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ashen magic circle was manifesting around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dorothy Heartnova, I didn’t expect you to be involved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice’s rose-pink eyes turned towards Dorothy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy, with a smile on her face, expanded her starlight magic circle as she stood guard against Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nihihi. As expected, you are trash, Alice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you disappointed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m actually glad. I hate you, but now I see nothing morally wrong with beating you up, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two most powerful individuals in Märchen Academy exchanged smiles and murderous glares simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immense amount of mana seemed to compress the space around them. My legs trembled as my survival instincts kicked in. However, my passive skill [Ice Sovereign] allowed me to calm down immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throw–!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I stood up and immediately started running, I pulled out the Sheath of Disaster and threw it towards Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt the sensation of my body being connected by a small thread to the Sheath of Disaster. I tugged at the thread in my head and cast the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic circle engraved on the Sheath of Disaster glowed in a pale blue hue. The stored spell, [Frost Explosion], had activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Frost Explosion (Ice Element, ★5)」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaaaaaaaa────!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold mana erupted from the Sheath of Disaster, causing ice chunks to surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray monster Alice had summoned opened its gaping, toothy mouth. It swallowed the explosion of mana and ice chunks created by [Frost Explosion] as if it was devouring it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Voracious Deity (Neutral Element, ★7)」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick, tentacle-like gray monster with rows of eyes lining its body came out of the ashen magic circle from the ground and stood beside Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I knew this would happen. My spell wouldn’t be able to scratch Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I was already running up the stairs and past Alice. The Voracious Deity followed right behind me, slithering like a snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanana, you can’t catch me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Stellar Radiation (Starlight Element, ★5)」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaaaaaaa───!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colorful rays of starry light sliced through the air, penetrating the body of the Voracious Deity before dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice dodged Dorothy’s magic by rolling to the side. However, it seemed she was unable to prevent some of the skin on her cheek from being ripped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy’s starlight magic dealt with physical force in a complicated way. This led to pure destructive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice must have noticed the futility of using defensive magic against Dorothy’s spells. Evasion was the wiser choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-You little…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice flashed a murderous smile as she touched the wound on her cheek. A cross-shaped blood vein sprouted from her forehead, revealing her anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, it’s fine. Alice just needs to be stopped by Dorothy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I knew it, Phantom Cat Cheshire appeared at Alice’s side with a serious expression. With Dorothy Heartnova standing in front of it, there didn’t seem to be room to spare any attention to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy would be no match against Alice with her eight-star familiar, Phantom Cat Cheshire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaeeeee────!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwagagagaga───!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuuuuuuuuuuu────!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, an epic fight between Alice and Dorothy took place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy thought the fighting stage was too narrow, so she lured Alice out by breaking the building’s exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building and the ground shook. Dust repeatedly rained down from the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body felt sluggish, probably due to the cold air of the Frostscythe having taken its toll on me. However, that didn’t slow me down. I gritted my teeth and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, beyond the crumbling exterior walls, I could see Dorothy and Alice fighting in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very glamorous. Countless star clusters and colorful magic circles dominated the area. Rays of light poured down, followed by brilliant explosions of colorful starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one in Märchen Academy could match Dorothy—a genius blessed by the heavens and believed to be on her way to becoming an Archwizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaaaaaa─────!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chararara─────!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwagagaga───!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White rabbits, black rabbits, and Trump Soldiers on white pegasi were summoned in legion-like numbers. Each and every one of them was overwhelmingly stronger than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with a single gesture, Dorothy eliminated Alice’s troops with her starlight mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant starlight and ashen-gray filled the sky. Countless magic circles manifested and expanded one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight between Dorothy and Alice was escalating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, I reached the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haa, haa…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching my breath, I examined the magnificent rooftop view. The luxurious design was befitting of the exterior of Bartos Hall. Beautiful structures extending from the outskirts brilliantly illuminated the mana stone I had with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a giant magic circle filled the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bizarre form engraved with many curved lines. The magic circle emitted a vivid vermilion light. It was a sign of the resurrection of the Evil God, Nephid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the magic circle stood a yellow rectangular obelisk that emitted a strange light yellow glow. It was the [Obelisk of Eternity]. A veil that accelerated time encompassed the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly feeling like my body was floating, I looked down at my right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, a crackling noise emerged. It seemed to be a phenomenon that occurred when one entered the realm of the [Obelisk of Eternity].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, my time will accelerate for a moment before ceasing, because the Evil God will soon resurrect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I caught my breath and wiped away the sweat from my forehead. It was time to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ran towards the [Obelisk of Eternity]. As expected, a golden glowing pocket watch was magically floating in front of the obelisk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Phantasmal Clock’. The catalyst for time magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if I could just get a hold of it…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa────────!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Argh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the magic circle intensely glowed, the [Obelisk of Eternity] unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous pillar of mana rose endlessly into the sky, scattering an eerie red glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, my body was sent flying and crashed into some railing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain in the back of my head was intense. I thought I might faint at any moment…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhhhh… ugh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with a groan, laughter involuntarily escaped from my lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had the Phantasmal Clock in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t too late. I made it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red aurora soon filled the sky where Dorothy and Alice were fighting. Dorothy was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above them, a huge eye, big enough to cover the sky, looked down on the world. Angra Mainyu. A servant of the Evil God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Apocalypse Dragon Azhi Dahāka emerged from the red pillar and flew towards the sky while roaring a grotesque cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black mealworms were devouring the magnificent structures that adorned the rooftop of Bartos Hall. These colossal worms took the place of the structure they ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grabbed the railing and pulled myself from where I was sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy mana silenced the atmosphere with a pressure that threatened to crush my body. Only then did I realize that the abyssal darkness had filled the entire rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness beneath my feet, numerous slumbering eyes rose up. They were eerie eyes composed of red irises and black pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I turned my gaze towards the center of the rooftop, I saw a faint silhouette of a woman from the red pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness that filled the rooftop was the hem of her black dress, for her attire was darkness itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A powerful demon has been detected!!] [There is a significant level difference with the enemy!!] [※ Escape immediately!] [※ Escape immediately!] [※ Escape imme…] [Nephid, Evil God of Destruction]Lv:■■■\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Race:Demon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elements:Darkness, Fire, Void\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger:M■x■m■m\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychology:[■■■■■■■■■■■■]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nephid…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I cleared the warning windows and saw the Evil God up close, my survival instinct began to kick into high gear. If it wasn’t for the effect of [Ice Sovereign], my legs would have given out and I would have collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t even imagine how strong I need to become to defeat her. I’m not even sure if I can beat her in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I will beat that final boss at all costs. I’ll never give up, even in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I was going to make up my mind right here, right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a deep breath and loudly called out a woman’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dorothy!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the owner of the name. Her gaze also turned towards mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, she had already thrown away her witch hat, her purple hair fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a serious expression on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against the backdrop of the apocalyptic landscape, towards the shining star witch embraced by colorful starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I screamed at the top of my lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You asked me why I trained so hard!!! The world is going to be destroyed by the Evil God!!! It was to stop that!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I possessed the weakest character in my favorite game’s Hell Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will prevent the destruction of the world!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to survive, but the way the main character is being controlled is atrocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to save the world!!! Whether it’s you, me, or anyone else, I will save them all!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no other option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I’m here!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evil God!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to stop the bad ending myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will take you down…!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy’s stiff face broke into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stretched her arm out towards me, spread her index and middle finger to form a V, and smiled innocently. A sign of understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t help but hear her signature ‘Nihihi’ laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black flames rained down upon the battlefield, and in the red pillar, Nephid slowly ascended into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hem of the Evil God’s dark dress rose from the ground and swallowed me whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five pairs of black wings unfurled, causing a fierce storm to erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the red pillar, a dark shadow gazed down at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evil God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pressed the reverse button of the Phantasmal Clock while taking in her imposing figure with my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>────────Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just for a moment, time stopped─\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock━━━━━━━━━\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of clock gears turning, a golden light bathed the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a video playing in reverse, the Evil God and her servant were sucked back into the magic circle. The darkness-made clothing of Nephid that was consuming me started receding like a rising tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness come over me. Everything within the range of the [Obelisk of Eternity], including a speck of dust, had undergone a time reversal corresponding to the accelerated amount of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, I would have suffered the side effects as well… But, since the sudden resurrection of the Evil God was prevented, I had cleared the trial. Now, all I had to do was return to the cave of the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt my senses being twisted. I couldn’t think of anything anymore.
