Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills
‘He’s going to suffer quite a bit.’
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Heimdal sank into a cushioned chair.
He could picture it perfectly.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“Hehe.”
The image of that guy abandoned in the middle of an immense white expanse.
With such miserable capital, developing a floor must have seemed like an impossible task.
100 Nectar.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
A small chuckle escaped his lips.
Rank A.
It wasn’t out of malice.
It was a kind of anticipation.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
It sounded simple, but in reality, it was an almost impossible mission.
Buildings had to be constructed, ecosystems had to be created, and mana density had to be increased.
To increase a floor’s rank required enormous resources.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
‘At a minimum, fifty years.’
Heimdal raised his cup.
All of that consumed Nectar.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
No matter how talented that guy was, he could never overcome the Nectar barrier.
Those long years of effort would turn him into a true god.
He would have to gather believers, conquer dungeons, and climb floors, accumulating Nectar coin by coin.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
‘Well, if things really become difficult for him, I could help him.’
If Rag set aside his pride and even came clinging to his pants, begging for help.
Heimdal put on a magnanimous expression.
Perhaps he would pretend he had no other choice and give him some Nectar.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Yet strangely, even that insolence didn’t bother him.
The boy had proclaimed that he would seek him out first upon arriving at the tower, and even after reaching Floor 2, he had shown no signs of life.
To be honest, he was somewhat annoyed.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
‘He’s quick to grasp the situation.’
He was completely different from the arrogant one he had met at the beginning.
Especially because the boy had known how to recognize his position and show humility.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Besides.
He had probably only understood Heimdal’s greatness after climbing the tower.
If he had continued behaving with the same insolence, Heimdal would have erased him from existence.
What cards did the boy possess?
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Angragon, the Dragon of the Great Catastrophe.
And an elf full of potential. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Abriel, the Great Angel.
He was more useful than Heimdal had imagined.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
A lineup that many intermediate gods didn’t even possess.
‘For a mere minor god, he has excessive strength.’
Perhaps that was why he didn’t dislike him.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
But that could be solved with time.
It was proof that his ability was extraordinary.
The only blemish was his catastrophe affinity score of 0 points.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
After all, he had managed to withstand one of Heimdal’s typhoons.
Heimdal took a sip of Nectar.
He must possess some hidden talent.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Then suddenly, a peculiar thought crossed his mind.
The sweet aroma slid down his throat.
‘A God Apostle.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
If he truly reached Rank A.
A successor who assisted a superior god and inherited part of his power.
A God Apostle.
Perhaps making him his apostle wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Because his standards were too high.
But Heimdal had never accepted one.
All supreme gods possessed outstanding apostles.
In other words, a personal disciple.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Raise him properly and make him his right-hand man.
‘Perhaps Rag can.’
He had never found a vessel capable of enduring his typhoons.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
That didn’t sound bad.
It would strengthen the Nature Faction and serve as a stepping stone toward even greater heights.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Fifty years later.
He relaxed comfortably against the backrest.
Heimdal indulged in that pleasant fantasy.
He imagined Rag, fully developed, kneeling before him while presenting a Rank A floor.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Just as he was thinking about closing his eyes for a moment.
For a god, fifty years was barely an instant.
He had plenty of time.
Ding!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal opened his eyes lazily.
It was a system message.
A clear notification sound echoed through the air.
‘Another minor god died?’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Then Caligo.
First Kartal.
Who would it be this time?
Lately, funeral news had been frequent.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
But then.
“…Pffft!”
He glanced at the message window without much interest.
He spat out the Nectar in his mouth.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
The letters were still there.
He looked again.
He began coughing violently.
With his face reddened, he rubbed his eyes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
[The Crystal of Floor 2 has increased in rank.]
[Rank: F → A]
[Congratulations!]
In fact, they shone even more intensely, striking directly at his optic nerves.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
[A miraculous speed!]
[Time Required: 23 hours, 3 minutes, and 42 seconds]
Heimdal’s mind froze.
“……!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
‘What the hell…?’
From F to A?
In 23 hours, 3 minutes, and 42 seconds?
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Buildings had to be constructed, temples erected, a perfect ecosystem designed, and top-quality materials invested.
Simply impossible.
It was impossible.
Transforming an F-rank wasteland into an A-rank one required at least 500,000 Nectar.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Ding!
23 hours, 3 minutes, and 42 seconds?
And now what?
But the system seemed to mock his thoughts and continued displaying messages.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
[Contribution: 100%]
[Shortest time to reach an A-rank Floor.]
[Record Holder: Rag]
[A new record has been registered in the Hall of Gods.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal stared blankly into space. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“……Ha.”
Everything he had thought just minutes ago.
That it would take fifty years.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
All of it became ridiculous.
That he might have to help him.
That he would make him his apostle.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Even selling divine relics at the exchange house would make it difficult to gather such an amount.
That guy didn’t need help.
Weren’t 100 Nectar his entire fortune?
‘Where the hell did he get that much Nectar?’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
He couldn’t understand it.
‘Did another god sponsor him?’

“But…”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Soon, he shook his head.
His thoughts stopped there.
100% contribution.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
It was absurd.
And at the same time, exciting.
A guy who shattered common sense.
That meant he had accomplished it entirely through his own strength.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
A guy who always exceeded expectations.
Now he was certain.
That guy was a true gem.
That insolent Seed who had stopped his typhoon and spoken the Supreme God’s name without the slightest fear.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Perhaps far more than he had imagined.
A promise was a promise.
Heimdal adjusted his clothes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“Good. attic Let’s see, then.”
A god could not go back on his word.
He headed once more toward the spatial teleportation gate.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Wuuuuung!
His steps quickened.
The door opened.
He had to see with his own eyes what that Floor 2, which according to the system had been raised to Rank A, looked like now.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“…This is Floor 2?”
Heimdal rushed through without hesitation.
He had no choice but to be stunned once again.
And when he arrived at Floor 2.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal frowned.
In its place stood a golden city so dazzling it seemed capable of blinding him.
The wasteland had disappeared. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Columns carved from the highest-quality marble.
At the center of the floor stood an enormous golden temple that dominated the landscape.
Brilliant golden roof tiles.
The light was so intense that it even hurt his eyes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
‘This is ridiculous.’
It wasn’t merely coated in gold.
The entire structure had been built with high-purity magic stones and genuine gold.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
But he had never seen such absurd extravagance.
Heimdal was a god.
He looked at the ground.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Perfectly maintained paths stretched as far as the eye could see.
Magical herbs worth dozens of Nectar each grew as if they were ordinary weeds.
Flowers of every color bloomed on both sides.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Almost hypnotized, he continued walking forward.
“Damn it…”
The curse slipped from his lips on its own.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
When he looked up, he saw an artificial sun suspended in the sky.
Even the air was different.
So fresh that it seemed to cleanse his lungs.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
It warmed the land to the perfect temperature and provided flawless illumination.
From somewhere came the soothing sound of flowing water.
Shhhhhhh!
It was a waterfall.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
‘Hot springs?’
A stream descended from the air, forming an enormous lake.
Heimdal sniffed the air.
Columns of white steam rose from the surface.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
This wasn’t ordinary hot spring water.
“Ha.”
A gentle herbal scent mixed with the aroma of concentrated divine energy.
It was a pool filled with the highest-quality Holy Water capable of restoring divine power.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
But the real problem was something else.
This was literally a resort.

He couldn’t believe it.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
By nature, every floor of the tower was a fortress.
Heimdal surveyed the surroundings. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
‘And the defenses?’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
That was normal.
It should contain traps to stop intruders.
Labyrinths designed to make people lose their way.
Ferocious monsters capable of tearing challengers apart.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
But there was nothing here.
Chirp, chirp.
No matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find a single element that could be considered a threat.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Crickets sang among the grass.
Squirrels ate acorns.
A blue bird flew over his head.
Butterflies fluttered about.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“And you call this an ecosystem?”
Excessively peaceful.
It was peaceful.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
It was a zoo.
Heimdal’s face twisted.
No.
This wasn’t an ecosystem.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Invite them to relax in the hot springs?
A botanical garden.
What did he plan to do if an intruder appeared?
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal’s voice thundered throughout the golden city.
“Rag!”
Offer them a therapeutic stroll along the paths?
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
It was Rag.
The blue birds took flight in fright.
He wore a robe woven from silk and held a cup in one hand.
In the distance, beneath a pavilion beside the waterfall, someone was sitting.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
He looked like a carefree aristocrat.
Meanwhile, Angragon floated on his back in the hot springs, leisurely enjoying the bath.
“You’ve come?”
Rag greeted him with a smile.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal strode forward.
But he restrained himself.
He almost grabbed him by the collar.
Instead, he pointed at him.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“Do you really not understand why I’m like this?”
“What seems to be the problem?”
“Have you lost your mind?”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal clicked his tongue.
“Could it be the scenery? beacon I don’t know what other floors are like, but I did everything I could to reach Rank A in such a short time.”
“…”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
After all, if someone didn’t know how things worked, it was understandable.
He had no way to refute that.
‘It really is Rank A.’
And besides.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
The temple covered in gold.
Even the mana density floating through the air.
The hot springs filled with the highest-quality Holy Water.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
It looked like a luxury resort built to enjoy life.
This didn’t look like a tower meant for battles and trials.
The problem was the direction it had taken.
Without a doubt, this place possessed the value expected of an A-rank floor.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
He stared directly at Rag.
Heimdal let out a long sigh.
“…Fine. acquire I’ll admit it. orbit The rank is correct.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
His gaze sharpened. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“But I have to ask. matrix Where did all this Nectar come from?”

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
An amount impossible for someone who had only just reached Floor 2.
This had to have cost at least a million Nectar.
Heimdal narrowed his eyes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“I exchanged something.”
“What?”
Rag simply shrugged.
He didn’t look nervous at all.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
‘He’s lying.’
To obtain that much Nectar through exchanges, he would have needed unimaginable wealth.
Although it was true, it was difficult to believe.
Such a brazen answer.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Seeing Heimdal frown, Rag waved his hands.
Heimdal thought he was hiding the true source of his Nectar.
“Don’t misunderstand. arrow I swear I didn’t receive help from any other god.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“The only person I follow is you, Lord Heimdal. action How could I dare go to someone else?”
It was obvious flattery.
“…”
Rag smiled casually.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
And most importantly.
But it didn’t sound unpleasant.
He didn’t seem to be lying.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
From the very beginning, he had been someone who defied all logic.
He was still curious about what exactly Rag had exchanged.
He had probably found some extraordinary method.
But this was the same person who had summoned Angragon and even tamed Abriel.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“…Very well. abandon I’ll let it pass.”
What mattered now was that Rag had fulfilled his promise.
Heimdal decided to let the matter rest for now.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
He had completed it in record time.
It was proof that he had exerted himself to the fullest.
He had achieved the condition imposed upon him.
And not only that.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Rather than suspecting him, he should be congratulating him.
And punishments as well.
Rewards had to be given fairly.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal pulled something out of the air.
It was a long object.
“Take it.”
A staff made from a strange material that looked neither like wood nor metal.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Wuuuuung!
Its surface was covered with whirlwind-shaped engravings.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding air stirred.
At the tip was a blue gem spinning violently.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
The name was every bit as brutal as it sounded.
The leaves on the trees began shaking violently.
The surface of the hot springs rippled.
“It is the Tearing-and-Killing Typhoon Staff.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Heimdal immediately warned him.
Handing the staff over, Heimdal spoke solemnly.
Rag extended his hand and took hold of it.
“It is one of my favorite Divine Artifacts.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“Because Divine Artifacts possess wills of their own. artist They choose their masters. accent And this one, in particular, is famous for its fierce temperament.”
Heimdal spoke in a stern tone.
“Why?”
“But let me tell you in advance. wizard You won’t be able to use it so easily.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
“Even it took me ten years to tame it. action No matter how talented you are, obtaining this staff’s recognition will require years of effort and sacrifice…”
“…?”
Fwoooooosh!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 19: The Staff of the Typhoon That Tears and Kills by Indra Translations.
Boooom!
