Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano
Then, the enormous chains protecting the center of the sanctuary were cut as if they were tofu.
Kwooooom!
The angel Abriel waved her hand.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
A light and clean sound of rupture.
There was not a single trace of hesitation.
Clang!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
There was even a strange sense of liberation in her expression.
Her movements were decisive.
‘It seems she was already fed up.’
As if she had been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
But there was no time for contemplation.
Well, it made sense.
She had spent countless years trapped in this place, acting as jailer all alone.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Rumbleeeee! antenna Rumbleeeee!
The entire sanctuary distorted.
The released black sphere began to twist violently.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Space shrieked, and a wave of bloodlust swept through the place like a storm.
A roar that devoured the soul.
【Kraaaaaaah!】
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
It was then.
My instincts set off every alarm.
In my current state, I wouldn’t come out of this alive. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
‘He’s strong.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
At the same time, the mists covering the entire sanctuary, that is, the spirits, began rushing toward me.
Abriel spread her wings.
A dazzling light burst from the tips of her fingers.
[Receive it.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Whoooooosh!
My body heated up.
“……!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The magic running through my veins went out of control like a stampede.
Rather, it was a pleasant sensation, as if every cell in my body were awakening.
But it didn’t hurt.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
[All the spirits of the sanctuary follow you.]
[The angel ‘Abriel’ has chosen you as her representative.]
Ding!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
My entire body felt light as a feather.
[All stats are temporarily maxed out!]
When I clenched my fist, I felt such brutal power that it seemed capable of bursting the air.
[You have been granted the ‘Blessing of the Great Spirit.’]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Ding!
[A hidden mission has appeared!]
The system continued displaying messages.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
[Mission name: Execution of the Mad God]
[Reward: ???]
[Objective: Cooperate with the angel Abriel to eliminate the mad god ‘Tulkacha’.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The black sphere broke, and a red figure emerged, crawling from within.
‘Tulkacha.’
What a crude name.
I raised my head to observe him.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Enormous horns.
And the scorching heat boiling beneath his feet.
Dark red veins covering his entire body.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
It was not ordinary heat.
That was.
The marble floor began melting instantly.
Crack!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
And a terribly deformed and violent calamity.
All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.
The authority of a volcano.
“Lava.”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Tulkacha muttered in a boiling voice.
【I’ll kill you… I’ll burn you all…!】
When he swung his arm, a stream of red lava shot out like a whip.
Kwooooom!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The sacred light repelled the lava.
Abriel blocked the attack by raising a spear of light.
But it was not enough.
Ssssss! amber Ssssss!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The poisonous heat emanating from the lava was burning her white wings and turning them black.
Abriel frowned.
The compatibility was awful.
[Ugh……!]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
‘I’ll have to help.’
The method was simple.
I immediately placed my left hand on the ground.
It was too dangerous to fight up close with the heat that monster emitted.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Wooooong!
“Disappear.”
The golden rune on my right hand shone intensely.
If water overflows, you just have to dig a drainage channel.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The calamity I had devoured.
Rumble!
The ground beneath Tulkacha, as well as around Abriel, split violently.
The authority of the lesser god of earthquakes, Kartal, activated.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
It was not a simple crack.
I limited the range of the authority and opened a deep, narrow hole.
Kwaaarrrr!
A sinkhole. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Tulkacha flinched.
The heat that was trying to cover the surface rushed into the underground depths as if swallowed by a drain.
“……?!”
The lava he was releasing began to gush into the crack in the ground.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
She gripped her spear again.
Abriel looked at me in surprise.
I simply shrugged.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Taking advantage of the reduced heat, Abriel’s spear pierced Tulkacha’s shoulder.
The mad god let out a deafening scream.
Stab!
【Kraaaaaaah!】
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
But he did not die.
Kwooooooosh!
On the contrary, his eyes bulged.
【You damned insects!】
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
A poison that contaminated the mind.
Black smoke shot out from his mouth.
[The mad god Tulkacha is out of control!]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
[Current contamination: 15%…… 20%……]
[Mental contamination has begun.]
My head hurt.
[The higher the percentage, the more you will lose your sanity.]
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
My stomach felt unsettled, and my entire field of vision spun.
If this continued, we might go insane and kill each other before even fighting properly.
Even Abriel staggered.
A mental attack impossible to physically block.

Angragon, who was on my shoulder, opened his mouth wide.
— Kyaaaang!
Then.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The black poison was dragged into Angragon’s mouth.
Far from being frightened, he seemed to be drooling as if he had smelled something delicious.
His small mouth began absorbing the surrounding air like a vacuum cleaner.
Fwoooosh!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The creature swallowed the poison.
And then.
Gulp.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
He had devoured the enemy’s poison, transformed it into a “Dragon Breath,” and returned it.
When he opened his mouth as if burping, a black flame shot toward Tulkacha.
【Kuaaaaagh!】
Fwooooosh!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
“Good work.”
The black flames struck Tulkacha directly in the face.
The monster covered his face and began rolling across the ground.
It seemed the impact of receiving his own reflected mental attack had been quite strong.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The creature wagged his tail from side to side, satisfied.
The situation had improved.
I stroked Angragon’s head. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
But.
Abriel continued launching a fierce assault.
The lava was falling into the sinkhole, and Angragon was blocking the poison.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The holes pierced by the spear were instantly filled with lava.
‘It’s not enough.’
Tulkacha’s regenerative ability was monstrous.
I analyzed the situation coldly.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
And the more time passed, the worse it would be for us.
And Abriel’s stamina would also eventually run out.
At this rate, it would end up becoming a battle of attrition.
The duration of the blessing was limited.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
We needed a finishing blow.
Tens of thousands of spirits.
I looked at the spirits floating in the air.
An attack capable of killing a god.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
A normal warrior would have used this power simply to strengthen their body.
But.
Thanks to the Blessing of the Great Spirit, they moved as if they were my own limbs.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
‘I am a mage.’
My job is to take the available materials and turn them into the best possible masterpiece.
Crushing things with brute force is not my style.
A mage is someone who seeks truth, who creates formulas and obtains results.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
‘I have the materials.’
I am Kim Jeongseok.
The mad mage who even refined a Philosopher’s Stone using the entire Earth as material.
Couldn’t I control a few miserable thousand spirits?
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
In other words, the best possible “fuel.”
Those creatures were masses of natural magic in its purest form.
Tens of thousands of spirits filled the air.
The enemy was the mad god Tulkacha.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
There was something that even in his maddened state he had failed to melt.
However.
A calamity capable of melting and burning everything.
His attribute was lava and fire.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The chains that had kept the monster imprisoned for hundreds of years.
Even though they had been broken in half, they retained their form.
The enormous chain fragments scattered across the floor of the sanctuary.
‘Sealing objects.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
I opened my eyes.
‘I already have the answer.’
A metal that did not melt even within lava.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Kwoooom!
My target was the broken chain lying beside Tulkacha’s feet.
My body shot forward like a projectile.
And without hesitation, I kicked the ground.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Tap.
Just as expected.
I landed on the chain.
The instant I touched it, I felt an intense coldness.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
That was why it had endured the corrupted heat of the mad god.
A rare metal with the property of rejecting and solidifying corrupted magic.
‘Ten Thousand Year Black Iron.’
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
“Gather.”
Against pure magic, it melted without resistance.
But that metal had a fatal weakness.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The spirits blessed by the Great Spirit responded to my will.
I extended my hand.
Thousands of spirits wrapped around the chains.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The moment the extremely pure magic touched the metal, the Black Iron that had seemed impossible to melt began melting like hot syrup.
I manipulated the magic.
Like a blacksmith hammering steel.
Ssssss!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Sharper.
I shaped the material using magical formulas.
Harder.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
It did not even take ten seconds.
A black spear over three meters long.
The black metal transformed into liquid gathered in the air and solidified into the shape of an enormous spear.
And capable of piercing that monster’s heart.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
It was incredibly heavy.
I gripped the shaft tightly.
I pulled my body backward.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The burning red heart beating inside the monster’s chest.
I compressed every muscle like a spring.
There was only one target.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The spear left my hand and tore through space. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Fwoooosh!
Before Tulkacha could even react.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
A black flash pierced his chest.
The mad god’s scream shook the sanctuary.
【Kraaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!】
Kwoooooom!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
I saw it.
The coldness of the Ten Thousand Year Black Iron penetrated his heart.
‘Now.’
The boiling lava instantly cooled and began hardening into black.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The thread of fate connected to the golden rune on my right hand.
‘I can devour him.’
The golden thread extending from Tulkacha’s chest.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The conditions had been fulfilled.
The problem was the distance.
The monster had weakened, and my power could now reach him.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
But I had a companion.
If I got close, I would end up becoming roasted meat.
Even if his heart was sealed, the surrounding area was still a hell of extreme heat.
“Abriel!”
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
No explanations were needed. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“Open a path for me!”
I shouted.

【Light!】
She spread her remaining wings.
Fwaaaaaaash!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The light advanced in a straight line, pushing aside the flames and lava blocking the path.
A flash exploded from her body.
As if the Red Sea were splitting apart.
The authority of the “Sanctuary,” capable of physically interfering with the environment.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Abriel shouted while coughing up blood.
In the middle of the ocean of fire, a path appeared only for me.
【Hurry!】
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
She too was at her limit.
That path would not last long.
I cut through the wind and crossed the tunnel of light.
I ran.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
5 meters.
The heat of the flames raging on both sides burned my skin, but I did not stop.
1 meter.
10 meters.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The monster, writhing in pain, lowered his gaze toward me.
【Cough… how dare you……!】
At last, I arrived in front of Tulkacha.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
I smiled.
A heavy and brutal blow.
Boom!
And drove my fist into his solar plexus.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The predatory power that devoured the very essence of existence had activated.
The golden rune on my right hand began spinning frantically.
Woooooong!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
From the point where my fist struck, Tulkacha’s body began to crack apart.
Craaack! voyage Crack!
Black fissures spread throughout his entire body.
【N-no…… my power……!】
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
The lava, the flames, the madness.
The monster’s desperate scream did not last long.
Everything began to be absorbed.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Even his divinity.
A massive vortex formed.
Rumbleeeee!
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
My right hand became a black hole that began swallowing the entire mad god.
His final scream.
【Kraaaaaaaaagh!】
Tulkacha’s enormous body disintegrated into particles of light.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
Booom!
Within the thick smoke,
every particle was absorbed into the palm of my hand, leaving nothing behind.
But then.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
And at that instant.
A gigantic explosion erupted.
My body was sent flying.
Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 9: The Runaway Volcano by Indra Translations.
