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

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

The true purpose of this trial is not “hunting.”
You must understand the creator’s intention behind the test.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
And besides.
In other words, heading toward the center of the Sanctuary and eliminating the cause.
It is “solving.”
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.
I narrowed my eyes.
‘Are those spirits really corrupted?’
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.
Unlike humans, their ego is weak.
It is extremely rare for them to fall on their own or develop malice.
Spirits are pure masses of nature.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘Then the answer is obvious.’
Their magical waves were connected like tiny threads.
All of those spirits.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Because something happened to that being’s mind.
There existed only a single contractor.
A great existence hidden deep within the Sanctuary.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
The subordinate spirits ended up appearing corrupted.
‘And besides.’
Or because it did it deliberately.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Until Seria fired the first arrow, the spirits only lingered around.
They were not aggressive.
I carefully observed their movements.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
As if they were trying to scare us away.
Rather, they seemed defensive.
— Do not come closer.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
That seemed to be what they wanted to say.
Only after Seria attacked first did they respond with true hostility.
‘What if I do not attack?’
— This place is dangerous.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Swoosh.
I acted immediately. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Now I had to verify it.
I already had a hypothesis.
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.
Complete demilitarization.
I eliminated my killing intent.
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.
And like that, I walked directly toward the horde of spirits.
Seria shouted in horror.
“Are you insane?!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Voluntarily walking into that monstrous mist.
Sssssss.
But.
From her perspective, I surely looked like a lunatic.
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.
The spirits moved aside.
They did not attack.
The moment my body touched the reddish mist.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
As if I were invisible.
The reason was simple.
They simply passed by my side.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
They are guardians of the Sanctuary.
If an intruder has no intention of attacking, there is no reason to waste energy eliminating him.
‘Because I showed no hostility.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
“……!!”
“Good work.”
I turned back and waved my hand.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
She could not follow me.
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!
To the spirits, she was already clearly an enemy. 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.
I left that chaos behind and calmly moved forward.
She had to curse while firing again.
The spirits charged at Seria once again.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
***
I walked for quite a long time.
The mist was beginning to dissipate.
The Sanctuary seemed like an endless labyrinth.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Just as sunflowers face the sun, their consciousness always remains directed toward that place.
If the spirits’ contractor is only one person, the spirits will inevitably point toward where their master is located.
‘The gaze.’
But finding the path was surprisingly simple.
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.
If I had acted hostile from the beginning, I would never have noticed it.
Blinded by killing intent, I would have overlooked their subtle movements.
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.
The mist began to dissipate.
I advanced without hesitation.
‘It’s this way.’
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.
And finally.
The sensation beneath my feet changed.
Tap.
The rotten trees disappeared.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
It was no longer sticky mud.
As expected, I was the first.
It was polished marble.
I had arrived.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
‘It’s clean?’
And frowned.
I raised my head and looked around.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
A spotless white temple.
But the scenery before me was exactly the opposite.
Filled with sacred energy.
Gugu clearly said it was a contaminated Sanctuary.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
It was a completely pure area.
Corruption? zenith Contamination?
Not even an ant could be seen.
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.
“…….”
I advanced deeper into the temple.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Enormous wings.
Floating in the air was a genuine angel straight out of a myth.
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.
Her golden pupils pierced through my body.
When I approached, she slowly opened her eyes.
She remained suspended with her eyes closed.
[What a peculiar visitor.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
Her children.
The angel’s voice resonated directly in my mind.
She was surely referring to the mist spirits outside.
[You have not harmed even one of my 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.
The problem was something else.
‘She’s strong.’
I sighed internally in relief.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 8: How to Kill a Mad God by Indra Translations.
If I fought something like this alone, I would lose.
Even Angragon on my shoulder had raised his scales.
Ridiculously strong.

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