The Power of the 7th Circle (2)
Sizzle!
The dark mana was being harnessed.
It was as if my mind’s eye had opened, and the surroundings looked different.
When the Circle first split, everything seemed to be colored with something, but now I knew that it was the dark matter that had done it.
Scientists still don’t know much about dark matter. They only ‘speculate’ that the universe is expanding because of its power, and that if there are other dimensions, all dimensions are governed by dark matter.
But I found out.
Dark matter is a more fundamental energy than mana. And it filled this world.
Dark magic originated from this dark matter, proving that it was superior to white magic.
“Is this the realm of the 7th Circle?”
“Congratulations!”
“We worship the history of the Demon God!”
“Demon God, huh.”
The existence of souls may be possible, but I cannot agree with the theory that a divine being exists to create and rule this world.
A soul with strong mental power survives longer in the spirit world. But souls whose sense of existence has become blurred disappeared.
If a powerful soul that manipulates dark matter created a similar world, I don’t know, but I doubt whether there is a truly divine being. Seeing that demons exist, perhaps the 8th Circle has the technology to create something with dark matter.
Maybe this will be the riddle to get to the 8th Circle.
“Then shall we try summoning once?”
Upon reaching the 7th Circle, there was a limit to the magic that could be used.
However, many useful spells have been researched for a long time, and by studying the magic book left by the first dark magician.
Summoning, teleportation, necromancy, curses, and a few poison-type spells were truly the strongest.
Here, he manipulated climate manipulation and disaster-level strike magic, so ordinary people could say that a god had descended.
Make hand signs in the air.
It was a 7th Circle magic hand sign that I had been practicing recently, and it was quite complicated.
Of course, now that I have mastered the origin of magic and how to move dark matter, I may not need hand signs if I become more proficient.
But now I needed complicated hand signs.
Sizzle!
As I reached out my hand, an enormous amount of dark mana moved.
Since it was moving a large amount of dark mana, dark mana compressed to a high circle was required. In a way, it was a simple law.
The dark mana was absorbed into the floor, and a black door opened as if a gate to another dimension was opening. And from there, two summoned beasts appeared.
One was excessively beautiful, and the other was excessively handsome.
“Should I have summoned a female?”
“Ohhh!”
Contrary to my muttering, the dark magicians couldn’t help but admire.
Vampires were quite beautiful, but they had to take several steps back from succubi.
That perfect beauty, as well as an indescribable charm.
If a succubus had appeared in ancient times, an extermination order would have been issued immediately because they were evil.
Seductive charm along with sexiness that seemed like they would devour men.
The legendary witch who bewitches men with just one look, a succubus, was summoned.
What about the high-ranking demon?
Even for a man to see, he had eyes that seemed to suck you in. You could say he possessed a charm that would make you fall into his pace.
Even if someone who didn’t know him saw him, they would bow down. If he had appeared in ancient times, he had an appearance that would have been enough to start a country and become a king.
‘It would be perfect to have them do business.’
Unlike the dark magicians who were looking at them with reverence, I was already evaluating their usefulness.
Anyway, I couldn’t help but be impressed.
“Wow, their looks are on par with celebrities.”
“Master. Our M Entertainment is world-renowned. You can make them models or celebrities. Looking at their current appearance, they have the charm to be very successful as celebrities.”
“Entertainment?”
“Yes. If you want to do business, I think it will be useful.”
It was Kalburn’s words with the utmost respect.
I tried to stop him because it was too much pressure, but I had to understand him doing that in private.
Because he was acting like that from the bottom of his heart.
Kalburn continues.
“Now, Master, you can manipulate the climate and gather an army of more than 100,000 soldiers. If you use curses, you can cause city-destroying plagues, and you have combat power that no one can match with your individual skills. If you succeed in dimensional travel, you will be able to conquer and plunder other worlds entirely.”
“Not that far.”
“Anyway, we will continue to research dimensional teleportation magic circles to help Master achieve his great work.”
“Give your loyalty.”
“Yes!”
In the end, there wasn’t much to say.
I look at the summoned beasts kneeling.
“Shall we see your skills?”
Flash!
As soon as my will manifested, the succubus and the demon rushed at each other.
Clang!
I quickly cast a barrier.
Since I had summoned a higher being of the vampire, I was going to find out how well they fought.
Kuaaaang!
Dark mana spread in all directions.
Magic collided and moved so quickly that ordinary people couldn’t see it, putting pressure on the opponent.
Both the succubus and the high-ranking demon possessed great skills.
They also use dark magic themselves.
The succubus stole the opponent’s mana and stamina and freely used dark magic of about 4~5 circles while fighting the demon.
In terms of physical ability, the succubus was superior.
The high-ranking demon used magic up to the 6th circle.
Did a variant demon pop out like a variant vampire?
He boasted better skills than when I fought when I reached the 6th circle. It seemed like even if you sent just one high-ranking demon, most dark magician groups would be destroyed.
Not only that, but they each summoned familiars.
The succubus summoned dark spirits, and the high-ranking demon summoned demonic beasts to fight.
Kugugugu!
The entire catacomb feels like it’s shaking.
I stopped it because it seemed like the training room might collapse if time passed like this.
“Stop!”
Chuck!
“…….”
They stopped all actions and knelt before me as if they had never fought.
It couldn’t be said that they didn’t have great skills.
If I hadn’t put up a barrier, this place would have been destroyed in an instant.
“Kalburn.”
“Yes, Master.”
“There’s that organization called Curse, right?”
“Are you talking about the organization in America?”
“Yes. I heard that they are slowly moving.”
“That’s right. Recently, they have been sending people to France to monitor us.”
“Do you know where their base is?”
“I don’t know, but it seems like everything will be resolved if we catch one of the members.”
“Okay. Hey, high-ranking demon.”
“Yes, My Lord!”
“Your name is… Rex. Let’s just call you that.”
“Thank you for giving me a good name!”
“You catch and interrogate the Curse’s followers. You can use that much magic, right?”
“Of course!”
“And you.”
What name should I give her?
I didn’t have any names in mind, so I just gave her a common name.
“Sarah.”
“Thank you for giving me a name.”
She looks at me with sticky eyes.
I squeezed my eyes shut.
She was a succubus with the power to captivate people just by looking at them.
What if a succubus becomes a celebrity?
Whether it’s sales or the entertainment business, she will achieve great results.
Anyway, I could pick more succubi, so I should think about how to use them.
“You move with me.”
“Everything I have is yours. Please use me however you want.”
“Hmm.”
Is there something wrong with her tone?
Maybe it’s just my imagination.
The next morning.
I ordered the succubus to stay in the catacombs and come in the morning.
When I opened the door and came out, Sarah was kneeling on one knee.
“Hey.”
“Master. Are you awake?”
It was morning, so guests were passing by, and many cleaning staff and guides were walking around.
They were shocked to see the attractive woman kneeling.
“Is she a celebrity?”
“Why is a celebrity kneeling like that?”
“Come in.”
Sarah immediately crosses the door and enters.
What should I do with this?
If I make a mistake, I could be caught up in a big misunderstanding. My name hasn’t spread much around the world yet, but the moment I acquire the M Group, I will be noted as a major figure in the business world.
I was barely stopping reporters from Forbes from flocking to me, but if I made a mistake, a scandal of the century could break out.
That’s how great Sarah’s beauty was.
She was still looking at me with seductive eyes.
“Don’t kneel down recklessly in the future. You are an employee of our company.”
“Everything is as Master wishes.”
Sarah bows her head.
Bang!
At that time, the door opened.
It was Lee Seulgi, who was not in good shape, and looking at her, it seemed like she had stayed up all night.
The reason for staying up all night?
Of course, it’s because of reviewing the documents.
“Kyaaaa!”
Lee Seulgi screamed as she saw Sarah wearing clothes that revealed her figure so much that she couldn’t tell if they were clothes or not.
Sarah had not only a perfect face but also a perfect body.
She had such a voluptuous body that any man would imagine.
It was enough for Lee Seulgi to misunderstand.
“C, Chairman! No matter how much money you have, how can you take in a celebrity? What are you going to do if Madam finds out!?”
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding!? Look at those sticky eyes! Huh!”
Sarah gets up from her seat and looks at Lee Seulgi.
Her face turned red in an instant.
Even for a woman to see, Sarah’s eyes were burdensome.
“Hello, Head of Department? My name is Sarah Ryan, and I am the Chairman’s new secretary from today.”
“…….”
“I look forward to working with you.”
“Chairman?”
“Oh… It’s as she says.”
“So, you mean she’s a new employee?”
“She looks like she’s good at sales, right?”
Lee Seulgi couldn’t deny it.
If a woman has this much charm, she will bring the best results no matter what sales she does. In the current situation, she was a very necessary talent.
“No way. Why would you apply to be a secretary when you could just be a celebrity?”
“So, are you dissatisfied?”
“How could I be? I’m just so surprised. I thought there was a cow here [referring to the idiom ‘holy cow’ to express surprise].”
“She was an employee of M Group, but I decided to take her in. After all, M Group and I will become one, right?”
“Was she that old man’s secretary?”
“Uh.”
It was a slightly poor-looking lie, but it seems better for Lee Seulgi to just understand it that way until I reveal the truth to her.
“By the way, does this secretary have any clothes?”
“I do, but why?”
“Give Sarah a set.”
Sarah moved her red lips.
“Chairman. I don’t know if the Head of Department’s clothes will fit me.”
Sarah’s gaze lingered around Lee Seulgi’s chest.
