Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory
At the same time, the armor vibrated.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!
A pillar of black-red fire rose from my left hand.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The special effect of the Heavenly Demon Armor.
As that overwhelming pressure spread in all directions.
Heavenly Demon Aura.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“Grrrr…… Yelp!”
The wolves charging toward me came to an abrupt stop.
“Ki-kieeek?”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The monsters retreated.
It was instinctive fear.
The tips of the ice soldiers’ spears began to tremble.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
And that wasn’t all.
Ssssssshhh!
An impossible scene unfolded before my eyes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The snowflakes turned into white vapor before they could even touch me.
The ground began to boil.
Black flames erupted from the cracks in the asphalt.
The snowstorm falling from the sky began to evaporate above my head.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Land Where Hellfire Boils.
The moment that Authority activated, the laws of this area changed completely.
And in its place appeared the domain of brutal, savage heat.
The domain of ice was erased.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The flames opened a path with every step I took.
The rules created by a god were crushed by the power of an even stronger god.
I began to walk.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Everything happened in an instant.
Kieeeeeeeek!
One of the ice soldiers that failed to escape brushed against the flames.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Along with a scream, the monster’s body began to melt.
And at the same time, it burned. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Kyaagh!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Because Hellfire was a flame that burned not only matter, but also souls.
Fwoooooosh!
But there was something even stranger.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The signs did not melt either.
But the trees did not burn.
The flames swept across nearby trees and buildings.
The flames targeted only the monsters.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Only those creatures born from the disaster turned into black ash and disintegrated.
‘The path has opened.’
3 kilometers.
The fire ignited only where my killing intent was directed.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
But there were no longer any obstacles.
It wasn’t a short distance.
I calmly walked across the red carpet created by the flames.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
In the very center of the city.
And finally.
Like lesser monsters witnessing the procession of a Demon King.
The monsters pushed aside on both sides trembled as they lowered their heads.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Unlike the others, the entrance to this place was completely blocked.
I arrived in front of the largest building.
A thick wall of transparent ice.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I smiled faintly.
The source of the cold.
‘So this is where you were hiding.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Heat exploded from my palm.
I placed my left hand against the ice wall.
Fwaaaaaash!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
A hole opened.
A passage large enough for a person to walk through.
The magical ice, supposedly harder than steel, began to melt like sugar touching boiling water.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I entered immediately.

Only the cold filled the surroundings.
An empty lobby.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
His eyes were closed.
I saw a man sitting on a chair made of ice.
And at the center.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
As if he were meditating.
“……How noisy.”
Perhaps he sensed my presence, because he slowly opened his eyes.
A voice filled with irritation.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I confirmed the man’s face.
I stopped dead in my tracks.
And at that moment.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Crack!
‘I know that face.’
Without realizing it, I ground my teeth.
It was a face I knew far too well.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“……Kim Insu.”
The name left my mouth as if I were spitting it out.
The sound of my bones creaked inside my clenched fist.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
A name I must never forget.
A name impossible to forget.
‘So it was you?’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
It felt as though my blood were flowing backward.
A feeling of betrayal pierced through me.
Kim Insu.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
He was my companion in my previous life.
One of the 500 elites who ran alongside me toward the highest floor of the tower within humanity’s last resistance force.
And not just any companion.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
At last, all the pieces fit together.
Although Kim Insu was eliminated during the early stages of the tower.
‘Now I understand.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The 27th floor of the tower.
A hellish labyrinth ruled by snowstorms and extreme cold.
There, we suffered irreparable losses. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Memories of the past flashed through my mind like a movie.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
— Sorry, Jeongseok! athlete My cooldown got messed up!
— Ah, my mistake! abstract My side got breached!
And it was all because of Kim Insu.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Three companions died because of just one of his “mistakes.”
Back then, I thought he was simply incompetent or unlucky.
But.
Far too serious to have been an accident.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
He subtly destroyed formations and blocked his allies’ escape routes.
‘It was intentional.’
At every crucial moment, he ruined everything.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
And during the most important battle against the 27th floor boss.
He disappeared.
He was declared missing.
After the fight, he never returned to us covered in blood.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
We thought he had died.
But he was alive.
We never found his body, but surviving in that chaos seemed impossible.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Because he was the owner of that floor.
No.
From the very beginning, there was no way he could have died.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The killing intent within the armor roared like a storm.
“Who are you? absorb How do you know my name? galaxy And that temperature—were you the one who caused all this?”
I slowly began to approach him.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
And slowly opened my mouth.
Kim Insu frowned.
“You are ‘Caligo,’ aren’t you?”
Instead of answering, I looked him directly in the eyes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The owner of the 27th floor, the God of the Snowstorm, Caligo.

“……!!”
His reaction confirmed it.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Damn it.
Kim Insu was Caligo’s avatar.
‘……Hah.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The last resistance force.
At the very least, I hoped it wasn’t them.
I hoped it wasn’t true.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Kim Insu was an avatar.
Humanity’s final hope.
But everything had been twisted from the start.
I hoped there weren’t spies from those bastards among them.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
‘So it was doomed from the very beginning. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’
Then what about the others? anxiety What about the Sword Emperor? attic And the Great Sage?
I knew we couldn’t win.
There was no way to know.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
We had only been dancing in the palm of their hands.
Kim Insu opened his mouth.
“Who the hell are you?”
But this meant that from the very beginning, we had been fighting a battle that was impossible to win.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
His eyes narrowed.
His face showed obvious confusion.
“I understand how you know my avatar’s name, but how do you know the name of my original body? antenna I’ve never told anyone. harbor No one should know it.”
“What faction do you belong to?”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Factions.
Kim Yuhwan, the lesser god of earthquakes Kartal, said the same thing before he died.
That faction nonsense again.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t even worth answering.
Because that defines their hierarchy and their order.
They’re obsessed with factions and affiliations.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I raised my left hand.
The black-red flames ignited once more.
Wooooooong!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Explosive heat engulfed the entire lobby.
The Authority, Land Where Hellfire Boils.
The ice chair evaporated instantly.
Kwaaaaaaaaaah!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The marble floor began to melt and flow like lava.
Kim Insu’s eyes filled with horror.
“……?!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Fwoosh!
He hastily unleashed a wave of cold, but it was useless.
Everything it touched was erased.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
It was being devoured.
My Hellfire consumed his cold and expanded its territory.
No.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“That’s impossible! voyage How can a mere avatar erase my domain?!”
Kim Insu stepped back.
“T-this is…… domain overwriting?”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“Thank you.”
I smiled faintly.
“……What?”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I clenched my fist.
“Thanks to you, I was able to confirm something.”
“That I have to kill all of you.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Kim Insu’s face twisted.
If this continued, he would die.
He had sensed the danger.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
He ground his teeth.
“Do you know how much effort I invested in this avatar? antique I’m not going to let trash like you destroy it.”
Instinctively, he understood that too.
“You damned bastard……”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“From what I can see, you’re not normal. apron Did you feed your avatar nectar? action You stuffed it with divine power like a lunatic.”
As he stared at me, he muttered.
A misunderstanding.
But I had no intention of correcting him.

It was similar to my Descent.
Golden light began to flow from Kim Insu’s body. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Wooooooong!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“Die!”
But different.
Mine was a bright and pure gold.
His was a murky, dull yellow.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
A gigantic spear of ice appeared.
Booom!
Kim Insu extended his hand.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
To my eyes, it looked motionless.
‘Slow.’
But.
A spear of absolute zero capable of freezing even the soul, loaded with divine power.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The absurd stat increase from the Heavenly Demon Armor.
I didn’t dodge.
My physical abilities were already far beyond human.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I shattered the ice spear with a single punch.
Craaaash!
I charged straight forward.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Without stopping, I lunged for his throat.
Fragments of ice flew everywhere.
Kim Insu’s eyes looked ready to burst out of their sockets.
“W-what the hell?!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“Khgh……!”
Whoosh!
The distance closed instantly.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Craaaash!
The shield tore apart like paper.
Kim Insu raised an ice shield.
I smashed through the ice fragments and grabbed his neck.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“Kuheok!”
Kim Insu coughed up blood.
Then I slammed him into the ground.
Boom!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The golden runes spun frantically as they shone intensely.
I raised my right hand.
I mounted him.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“Y-you…… that hand……”
It was time to devour.
Wiiiiiiiiing!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
It was the power of a natural predator capable of threatening his very existence.
Kim Insu looked at my right hand, and all color drained from his face.
He realized that it wasn’t a simple offensive skill.
He understood.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
“No! antenna D-don’t come closer!”
He struggled desperately.
Without a trace of emotion, I placed my palm over his face.
But the pressure of the Heavenly Demon Aura crushed his limbs.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t simple pain.
A bloodcurdling scream erupted.
“Aaaaaah!”
“Enjoy your meal, Caligo.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Not just the avatar’s mana.
Everything was being absorbed.
“M-my power……! zenith My connection to my original body……!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
As if I were drinking it all through a straw, ripping it out from the roots.
“W-what the hell are you?! zenith How can you devour divinity?!”
Even the divinity of the original body that existed on the 27th floor of the Tower of Asgard.
Kim Insu’s face began to shrivel.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
His life force was being exhausted.
He was aging rapidly.
“Stop! orbit Please! meadow Forgive me! album I’ll give you anything you want!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Exactly like when he betrayed us and ran away in my previous life.
A miserable and cowardly plea.
He begged.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I smiled coldly.
I tightened my grip.
“No.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Kwaaaaaaaaaah!
“Leave everything behind and disappear.”
The golden vortex finally calmed down.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Only gray ashes remained floating in the air.
The existence that had been Caligo’s avatar disappeared without a trace.
What had once been Kim Insu.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
[You have absorbed his divinity.]
[You have devoured the disaster, the lesser god of Snowstorms, Caligo.]
Ding! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
[You can now permanently use the Authority, Extreme Blizzard.]
After fire and earth, I had now obtained ice as well.
That meant I now possessed the three great elements of the natural disaster system.
Perfect.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
A series of messages began to fill my vision.
And then.
‘Perfect.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Episode 2.
[Warning. acoustic The mana concentration in this region has exceeded the critical limit.]
Originally, everything was supposed to start now.
[Regional Episode 2, “Frozen Daegu,” has begun.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Ding!
But.
The scenario where the army of ice summoned by Caligo would seize the city while people desperately fought to survive through fear and cold.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
It ended the very moment it began.
[Episode 2, “Frozen Daegu,” has ended.]
[The main boss “Caligo” has been eliminated.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
As soon as the source of the disaster disappeared, the changes in the outside world happened immediately as well.
I looked out the window.
More accurately, it ended before it could even begin.
No.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
The snowstorm that had been raging wildly came to an abrupt stop.
The black clouds vanished, and the bright summer sun illuminated the city once more.
The ice soldiers and snow wolves wandering the streets collapsed and melted into water.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Then, along with a shrill alarm, new messages appeared.
[Calculating completion time.]
Even the system seemed confused and remained silent for a moment.
The city went from winter to summer in an instant.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
[Time required: 0.00 seconds.]
[Unable to calculate contribution.]
[Unable to measure.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
I had handed in the answer sheet before they even distributed the exam, so the system had no reason to grade it.
[System error.]
But the system was absolute.
It was the obvious result.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
[Although the completion was abnormal, the result is clear.]
Even if an error occurred, it was obligated to grant a reward corresponding to the result.
[You have set an impossible record.]
[The system directly awards Rank 1.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
As always, extraordinary rewards are only given when you do what no one else can.
Hidden reward.
[110. wizard A hidden reward is granted.]
[Rolling dice (1~110).]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Craaack!
I looked expectantly at the next message.
And then.
‘……Jackpot!’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 16: The Hall of Glory by Indra Translations.
Because it truly was a reward worthy of being called “hidden.”
The moment I confirmed the reward, I clenched my fist tightly.
