Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God
“The final test will take place in the Sanctuary.”
The playful attitude had disappeared.
How to kill a mad god
Gugu’s voice became heavy.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Corrupted spirits.
Just hearing those words already made one imagine a rancid smell.
A contaminated Sanctuary.
“The Sanctuary was originally a sacred place, but it is currently heavily contaminated by corrupted spirits.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“The mission is simple. atomic Purify the Sanctuary. alert Whoever achieves the greatest contribution will receive the highest score.”
Gugu added a warning.
There was no time limit.
“But be careful. portal It is an extremely dangerous place. echo The corrupted spirits are violent, and the air of the Sanctuary will devour your minds and rot your bodies.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
But the longer they remained there, the closer they would come to death.
“Until the Sanctuary is completely purified, you cannot stop halfway through. attic There will be nowhere to run. auction If you wish to give up, this is your only chance.”
And above all.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
The conditions were brutal, but not a single seed stepped back.
Die or succeed.
A battle with no retreat.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
With Gugu’s applause, the world flipped upside down.
“Very well. timber Then, I wish you luck.”
Clap!
If they were the type to run away here, they would never have entered the tower.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Before I could even recover from the dizziness of the spatial transfer.
Whoooooosh!
A nauseating stench hit my nose.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“…Hmph.”
It was not the odor of decaying corpses.
The smell of rotten eggs.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
A forest full of dry, twisted trees like ghosts.
I frowned as I looked around.
The earth had died and blackened. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
The sky was sickly, stained with a bruised purple color.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Kieeeeeek!
Terrain resembling an endless labyrinth.
And among them.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
At a glance, there were too many.
Monsters shaped like dark red mist crawled everywhere.
Grrrrrr…
Corrupted spirits.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Thousands?
‘Am I supposed to purify all of this?’
They did not seem like mere tens of thousands.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
With normal methods, it would take years.
This is insane.
It was then.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
There was a person.
“…Just my luck.”
I heard a sigh beside me.
I turned my head.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
It seems the more than five thousand seeds were scattered.
The one who landed beside me was an elf.
‘So it was a random transfer.’
Only one.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
She surely thinks I’m a burden.
She openly looked at me with contempt.
Probably because I got 0 points in the calamity affinity test.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Skin so pale it looked sickly.
Instead of responding, I carefully observed her face.
A cold expression.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Ice-blue eyes.
She carried a gigantic bow on her back, taller than she was.
And eyebrows white as snow.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘It feels familiar.’
Strange engravings covered the body of the bow.
I had seen it before.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Not simply because she was an elf.
Cold and filled with sharp killing intent.
But because of that unique atmosphere.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
I searched through my memories.
In that hell where countless enemies were cut down, pierced, and burned.
The final expedition force of humanity.
When we climbed the tower risking our lives.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
I remembered.
If you added a few more scars to that face.
‘Ah.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
It was her.
“Frost Tribe?”
And her eyes became filled with a little more cruelty.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“…How do you know my tribe?”
The elf flinched and glared at me.
A sharp reaction.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
As expected.
They are born and raised in lands of eternal ice.
Normal elves love forests and warm climates.
But the Frost Tribe is different.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘She was the mid-boss of Floor 50.’
That is why they are far stronger, crueler, and more exclusionary than other elves.
And above all.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Her ability to hide herself was monstrous.
Definitely.
The sniper who brought us to the brink of annihilation in that frozen wasteland.
On Floor 50 of the tower.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
And her arrows exploded my companions’ heads like watermelons.
‘Seria.’
She was far more troublesome than the Floor Master of Floor 50.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
I even remembered her name.
“Whoa, whoa. legend Don’t get defensive. atlas I’d only heard of your tribe because it’s quite rare.”
Because that experience had been too horrible.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
I shrugged.
“…Just don’t get in my way.”
She took out her bow.
The elf continued observing me suspiciously, but soon lost interest and looked away.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
The corrupted spirits detected her presence and began gathering.
She did not even draw the string, but the air around her began to freeze.
She seemed determined to completely ignore me while advancing first.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Seria’s eyes gleamed coldly.
Fwoosh! aspect Swish-swish!
Kieeeeeeeek!
The masses of black mist bared their fangs as they charged toward her.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
It seemed she had completely omitted the act of drawing the bow. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
I could not even see the movement of her hands.
Three arrows shot out simultaneously and pierced the spirits’ foreheads.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Booom!
The corrupted spirits froze and shattered before they could even scream.
The frost contained within the arrows exploded.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
But I could not remain still either.
She definitely had the potential to become the nightmare of Floor 50.
A clean technique.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
I cannot stay behind that elf collecting scraps and expect to satisfy Heimdall.
To become the absolute first place.
My promise with Heimdall.
Simply passing is not enough.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Sounds nice.
‘Purify the Sanctuary.’
I stopped and looked around.

That is a mediocre strategy.
But am I supposed to kill tens of thousands of spirits one by one?
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
You must understand the creator’s intention behind the test.
The true purpose of this trial is not “hunting.”
A waste of time and energy.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘Are those spirits really corrupted?’
In other words, heading toward the center of the Sanctuary and eliminating the cause.
It is “solving.”
And besides.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
My knowledge as a mage detected a strange contradiction.
Spirits are pure masses of nature.
I narrowed my eyes.
Unlike humans, their ego is weak.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Normally, a spirit’s state follows the state or intention of its contractor.
All of those spirits.
‘Then the answer is obvious.’
It is extremely rare for them to fall on their own or develop malice.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
A great existence hidden deep within the Sanctuary.
There existed only a single contractor.
Their magical waves were connected like tiny threads.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Or because it did it deliberately.
Because something happened to that being’s mind.
‘And besides. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’
The subordinate spirits ended up appearing corrupted.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
They were not aggressive.
Rather, they seemed defensive.
Until Seria fired the first arrow, the spirits only lingered around.
I carefully observed their movements.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
— Do not come closer.
As if they were trying to scare us away.
— This place is dangerous.
That seemed to be what they wanted to say.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘What if I do not attack?’
Only after Seria attacked first did they respond with true hostility.
I already had a hypothesis.
Now I had to verify it.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
I eliminated my killing intent.
Swoosh.
I acted immediately.
I withdrew the mana covering my body.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
I erased all hostility and emptied my desire to fight.
And like that, I walked directly toward the horde of spirits.
Complete demilitarization.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Seria shouted in horror.
From her perspective, I surely looked like a lunatic.
“Are you insane?!”
Voluntarily walking into that monstrous mist.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
The moment my body touched the reddish mist.
Sssssss.
But.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
They did not bite or cast curses.
They simply passed by my side.
They did not attack.
The spirits moved aside.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘Because I showed no hostility.’
As if I were invisible.
The reason was simple.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
They are guardians of the Sanctuary.
I turned back and waved my hand.
If an intruder has no intention of attacking, there is no reason to waste energy eliminating him.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“……!!”
She could not follow me.
“Good work.”

She had already spilled blood.
She had already fired arrows.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“Damn it!”
Kieeeeeeeek!
The spirits charged at Seria once again.
To the spirits, she was already clearly an enemy.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
***
The mist was beginning to dissipate.
She had to curse while firing again.
I left that chaos behind and calmly moved forward.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
But finding the path was surprisingly simple.
The Sanctuary seemed like an endless labyrinth.
I walked for quite a long time.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
If the spirits’ contractor is only one person, the spirits will inevitably point toward where their master is located.
‘The gaze.’
Just as sunflowers face the sun, their consciousness always remains directed toward that place.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Thanks to that, I was able to realize it.
Blinded by killing intent, I would have overlooked their subtle movements.
If I had acted hostile from the beginning, I would never have noticed it.
But I treated them as if they were air.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘It’s this way.’
I advanced without hesitation.
The exact point toward which the spirits inside the mist were secretly looking.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Tap.
And finally.
The rotten trees disappeared.
The mist began to dissipate.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
It was polished marble.
The sensation beneath my feet changed.
I had arrived.
It was no longer sticky mud.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
As expected, I was the first.
‘It’s clean?’
I raised my head and looked around.
And frowned.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Filled with sacred energy.
A spotless white temple.
But the scenery before me was exactly the opposite.
Gugu clearly said it was a contaminated Sanctuary. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Not even an ant could be seen.
It was a completely pure area.
Corruption? august Contamination?
I advanced deeper into the temple.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
And shortly afterward, I found a presence.
Enormous wings.
“…….”
Feathers so white they hurt the eyes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
When I approached, she slowly opened her eyes.
She remained suspended with her eyes closed.
Her golden pupils pierced through my body.
Floating in the air was a genuine angel straight out of a myth.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
The angel’s voice resonated directly in my mind.
[You have not harmed even one of my children.]
[What a peculiar visitor.]
Her children.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
If I had killed even one on the way here, the fight probably would have begun the moment I entered this place.
She was surely referring to the mist spirits outside.
I sighed internally in relief.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Even Angragon on my shoulder had raised his scales.
‘She’s strong.’
The problem was something else.
Ridiculously strong.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“Why were you blocking the path?”
If I fought something like this alone, I would lose.
Without relaxing my guard, I asked.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
The angel’s expression darkened. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
The reason she used the spirits to prevent access.
She slowly turned her head backward.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Behind her.
In the deepest part of the temple floated a black sphere around three meters in diameter.
[This is a place you should not come to.]
A mass emitting a horrible energy, completely opposite to the sacred aura of the place.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
[A long time ago, a god who lost his sanity and went mad was sealed here.]
[This place is a prison.]
The angel looked at the sphere with sorrowful eyes.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
They kill spirits, and the angel becomes enraged and attacks them.
A mad god.
The seeds break through the spirits.
At last, all the pieces fit together.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
But they did not.
And after a brutal battle, if they kill the angel, the guardian maintaining the seal disappears.
If that were not the case, from the very beginning they would have told us to help the angel kill the mad god.
‘So the intention of the test was to eliminate the angel.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
So that the angel would see the seeds as enemies.
They frightened us so we would attack the spirits.
But why?
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Gugu’s true objective is the sealed mad god.
He probably wants to reclaim it.
But.
‘Because only by killing the angel can they devour the sealed mad god.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘There’s no need to follow their intentions exactly.’
And besides, I had no intention of killing the angel.
Get rid of such a useful force?
I won’t get a high score by merely obeying.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“Then all we need to do is eliminate the one inside there.”
I took a step toward the angel.
The answer was simple.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“Oh noble being.”
[…What do you mean?]
I looked directly into the angel’s eyes.
I lowered my voice and spoke seriously.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“Let’s kill together the mad god sealed inside there.”
The angel’s eyes widened.
Not protecting the seal, but killing what was sealed.
[……!]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“Maybe it would have been difficult alone. atlas But together, it will be possible.”
I pointed at the black sphere and smiled.
A proposal that completely shattered common sense.
“Leaving something like that locked away will only bring trouble. abstract Better to finish it off once and for all.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
But the main reason was something else.
Though honestly, I was also curious about what was inside.
‘My right hand won’t stop itching.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
A line of golden light extended from the rune and pointed frantically toward the black sphere.
The golden rune engraved on my hand.
But I could.
No one else could see it.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
And not just any calamity.
there is a calamity.
Inside there…
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
But soon, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
The angel’s eyes wavered.
A calamity of a considerable level.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
It was not a refusal.
[…How shameless.]
Sacred light filled the entire temple.
She spread her wings wide.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
The party was formed.
[Very well. atlas I shall respect the will of someone who showed consideration for my children.]
