I Became Strong At Night And Weak At Day Inside A Game

Light is pouring in.

Anirza, confident of victory, hardened his expression at the flashing light in front of him.

“H, how—!”

The squeezing voice couldn’t reach anywhere and was swept away by the light.

Not just the voice, but the ghost’s shape, which was made with rune magic, is also broken down into particles and disappears as soon as it hits the light. 

It’s not just destructive magic.

Even in the halo, the altar or the sacrifices on it are not affected.

It is magic that purely destroys mana.

It’s not a vague spell like Dispelled. 

In the first place, it is impossible to dispel higher-level magic and return mana to a particle unit. 

The light enveloped Anirza in a warm and full.

There was no physical pain.

However, the feeling of the light permeating and ripping through his insides made him shiver.

‘Aah, is that—!’

Only after making contact did he realize this light’s identity. 

This light is, above all, full of force.

It unilaterally intervenes in the formula and analyzes and reverses the formula.

Because of this, all of the requirements elements of the formula are denied, and Mana is decomposed into particle units.

If he didn’t call this full force, what would he call it?

However, this magic can’t be built with the magic of the present day.

The rune magic that had already been forgotten was evident.

Rune magic is not an ability that everyone can use.

Once the user has deciphered and fully understood the runes, they must use their own magic power to recite it. 

When he casually recited it, the young man with black hair was not a person without talent.

Moreover, the black-haired young man was holding a demon sword that must have been sealed.

On top of that, there was no way someone who could even use runes came to this place by accident.

It was clear that it had been thoroughly planned. Anirza let out a cry as if he had realized something.

“You, don’t tell me— is it! You did it!” 

The sound is swallowed up by the light and disappears.

Anirza’s whole body was also breaking up into particles, but he didn’t care and kept shouting.

Even though he couldn’t hear his own voice, he kept raising it, as if to leave a trace, until the moment his existence ended. 

“Don’t think this is the end! The grand plan of the organization has already begun! No matter how much you interfere, the waves won’t stop…!”

By the time his words were finished.

In the place where the light disappeared, only traces of the existence of Anirza remained.

“…Did you get rid of him?” 

As soon as the light faded, Ethan said so.

Of all things, why did you say that at this time? It’s like we just came back to life after dying at a big magic event.

“Let’s not raise the flag because it’s ominous.”

“A flag?”

“There is such a thing.”

Anyway, the flag stood up.

I was very nervous, but— Anirza was not in the place where the light disappeared. 

The huge skeleton he had built was also completely destroyed.

Phew, did it solve safely?

When I was relieved, my body lost all of its strength.

As I slumped down on the floor, Ethan supported me as I was about to fall.

“Are you okay?!”

“Don’t shout… My head is ringing…I’m just running out of mana….” 

My head is ringing because I’m running out of mana. 

I feel like someone is hammering me in the head.

I expected it.

Theo’s body doesn’t have as much talent as Deathwise said.

Instead, the bowl itself was not bad, as if he had been well-trained since childhood.

Not only did he have a body that moves as he thinks, but he also increased the amount of mana in his body with all kinds of elixir, so he had quite a lot of mana itself.

Thanks to that, I could use ‘Light of Extinction,’ high-rank rune magic. 

Of course, since it’s high-rank rune magic, I was exhausted because my entire mana was consumed, but it’s better than dying.

Anyway, the problem is that rune magic has to use the caster’s mana purely for activation instead of having a certain effect and performance—.

I calmed my throbbing head for a moment and managed to get myself up by grabbing Ethan’s arm. 

The rune magic used by Anirza, Tania’s giant army, disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, but he himself also had disappeared.

The light of extinction also destroys the mana.

It is a type of destructive magic in which the phenomena of magic are destroyed by intruding on it and reversing it by calculating it backward.

Therefore, it does not affect living creatures.

I stumbled and headed to the seat where Anirza was. 

There were only clothes and shards of broken pottery rolling around.

“As expected, was he a puppeteer?”

Anirza was struck by the light of extinction and disappeared.

Because if it wasn’t the case, then it means that he is not a living person.

Golems that move with mana, automata that use magic, or dolls that can be operated remotely—Anirza would be the third case.

In other words, the main body is not dead.

He must be looking at this situation from a completely different place.

However, since all of the other magic tools have been destroyed by the light of extinction, is it fortunate that he can’t intervene further?

Anyway, he can’t do anything to us for now. 

When I released the boy tied up on the altar while organizing my thoughts neatly, Felt rushed to him. 

“Loui, Loui!” 

“Noona…?” (t/n: 누나 (Noona) means older sister) 

The boy opened his eyes.

There don’t seem to be any serious injuries.

Ethan was smiling brightly as he turned his head in relief. 

Just now, he was dying to stop the black magic.

Because there are also a lot of weak kids here. 

Thanks to it, I got involved in this case, but—it might be better because I could check the situation I didn’t expect. 

Anirza, a black wizard and puppeteer.

In the original Broken World, the altar did not exist at this place. 

Let’s think carefully about this cause and effect. 

“E, excuse me….” 

It was Felt who spoke out.

The girl stared at Ethan and me and bowed her head.

“Thank you for helping, me. Sorry, I’m sorry for stealing.” 

She must not be used to using honorifics.

The slow-moving words were passed in moderation.

It was Ethan, not me, who could forgive her, so when he shook his hand moderately, something stood up on Felt’s head. 

“…Ear?” 

Everyone was stunned at the inadvertent words.

Not only on Felt’s head but also on Loui’s head, triangular golden ears perked up to show off its presence.

Felt instinctively reached out and put her hands over her ears.

Loui also covered his ears, but it was too late at the latest.

“Is that what happened…” 

No wonder she’s good for a pickpocket.

Ethan came up to me and lowered his voice, perhaps because he was thinking the same thing.

“As expected, those children are a beast right?” 

“Yeah, that would be a golden fox too.”

“…The only way to survive was to steal.”

Beasts are a rare race in the Kingdom of Tekat.

For that reason, in the past, beast slaves were sometimes traded at high prices. 

However, slavery was banned in modern times due to trades with the beast, but the kingdom didn’t stop trades that happened in secret.

In particular, if it were a young beast like Felt or Loui, there are probably not a few people who would turn their eyes and throw large sums of money.

Even if they have parents, they are bound to become targets of criminal organizations such as the Corbus family.

Furthermore, it is fully understandable without explaining what situation Felt or Loui, who live day by day in the back alley, will be in.

“What are you going to do in the future?”

“I’ll stop… stealing.” 

“Is there a way to live if you quit?”

“….”

There can’t be.

If there were another way, they wouldn’t do anything as risky as pickpockets.

In reality, there was no other alternative, so Felt lowered her head and remained silent.

“Ethan, do you have any plan?”

 “…There is a nursery I know. The manager is also someone I can trust. If I ask, that person will surely help.” 

As expected of Ethan.

I know he volunteers at the nursery every weekend.

It’s also something that comes out in the setting—.

“That’s what he said, so what are you going to do?”

Felt tilted her head at the choice that was thrown at first.

After a quiet wait, Felt and Loui exchanged glances and nodded their heads.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you…!” 

Ethan says he can trust them, so they’ll keep their secrets well.

It’s a happy occasion.

This is the solution to all the problems.

“Then, take care of these kids.” 

“Yeah, I know. Haha! Even if you do this and that, as expected, my friend is kind!” 

Ethan, who laughed loudly, said something strange.

Then, as I stared at him with a serious look, Ethan patted my shoulder and continued talking.

“You say you don’t like it, but you ask me to take care of the kids and you’re the first one to help the kids even now.” 

“What are you talking about? I just don’t want my bed to be messy.”

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have thought of following you this far.

Hey, why are you looking at me with such a happy expression?

As I narrowed my brows, a murmur started approaching from afar.

Since Anirza blew up the whole cocktail bar, it is no wonder that crowds are flocking to find out the situation.

“Anyway… I’m tired, so I’ll go first. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Clearly, the precious weekend would be gone if I stayed here like this.

I hurriedly left the scene of the incident.

“You’ve done a great job since the weekend.”

“Haha, that’s how it happened. Thank you for coming to meet me today. Professor Clyton!”

In front of the Esset’s garrison.

Ethan, who came out after a long investigation, bowed his head to Edmund, who had come to verify his identity.

“So what’s going on?”

“It’s hard to put it simply, but…I was forced to fight while trying to save the children in the back alley!”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I said.”

Ethan spoke brazenly.

In reality, he left out Theo Agrit’s existence, and Felt and Loui were also sent to a nursery with a note he had written.

So there are no real witnesses. 

Ethan Mertezaker, who remained at the scene, is the only witness.

“I heard that there was a magic nullification phenomenon with intense light at the scene, what happened?”

But other testimonies exist.

For example, a gigantic skeleton that appeared while breaking the cocktail bar and the intense light that destroyed it.

Ethan, who had no talent for magic, could never create such a miracle.

Because of this, Ethan smiled and replied back.

“Isn’t there a wizard around?”

“So the sensitive wizards must have gone to the dirty back alleys. Even if a wizard or even a high-ranking wizard happened to be in the back alley at the right time, it’s unlikely that he would have helped with something that had nothing to do with him.”

However, his opponent is Edmund Clayton.

He asked again after finding a reason to argue that was close to a conclusion.

“Let me ask again, Ethan Mertezaker. What happened?”

“I really don’t know, Professor! Could it be just a coincidence?”

“There is no coincidence. Everything is intricately connected. Seeing that the magic that appeared in the field is highly likely to be rune magic… So, were you with Theo Agrit?”

It is a question that pokes the heart. 

Ethan’s expression hardened for a moment.

He thought it would only be stuck for 0.1 seconds because it was released right away, but Edmund didn’t miss that moment.

“My guess was correct.”

He just tried it, but it hit it nicely.

Edmund took the lead toward the Estero Academy with a satisfied expression.

Ignoring even Ethan’s voice from behind, he clenched his fist firmly that his hands turned white with joy.
