Cheat Awakening

"F*ck! Why this small object is so powerful?" Myne, who was dumbfounded seeing the power of the suction force of the black disk, cursed out loud. In order to check the limits of the disk, Myne used other skills such as Wind Blade, Fist of Light, Rock Slash, Water Magic: Colossal, all three of his AoE magic skills, and even his Unique Magic・Lightning with minimal mana.

However, the black disk, situated in the middle of the golden array like a bottomless pit, seemed unaffected by anything thrown at it.

Frustration bubbled within Myne. He stomped his foot hard on the ground. "What in the hell is this thing? Why does it can swallow every spell I throw at it? How can it be so powerful, this doesn't make any sense!"

Velvet, who had been studying the disk silently for the past few minutes, broke the silence while rubbing her chin. "Not all your attacks. Just magic. Haven't you noticed? If it were truly that all-powerful, wouldn't it have sucked us in the moment we approached? It only reacted when you attacked with magic."

"In that case," Myne hesitated for a bit, walked toward the black disk, and cautiously extended his hand towards the disk, stopping inches before it. As Velvet predicted, it remained inert, almost like a harmless metal plate.

After verifying Velvet's theory, Myne took out a dagger from his inventory. Taking a step back, he hurled it with all his might towards the disk.

CLANG!

As Myne's dagger was about to hit the black disk, the expected suction force didn't emerge from the disk, instant a loud clang echoed as the dagger collided with an invisible barrier shimmering around the disk, blocking the dagger with ease. Myne and Velvet's eyes lit up in excitement. As long as they could move or damage this disk, their mission could be successful.

Myne and Velvet's excited expressions instantly turned ugly. Although both of them had expected that destroying the black disk wouldn't be easy, it was now proving to be even harder than they had imagined.

"Let me give it a try," Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Velvet stepped forward. She came in front of the disk and used her innate cat tribe ability, Iron Claw, and swiped at the barrier.

Another metallic clang resonated in the observatory. Other than creating a few sparks and hurting her own hand, Velvet's attack did not affect the barrier at all.

Myne, unwilling to give up after coming so close to his freedom, picked up the dagger from the ground, used almost all the enhancement skills he had, including Martial Arts skills, which he had never used before, and launched a full-power attack on the black disk.

BOOM!

The shockwave produced by such a powerful attack was naturally quite fierce. Velvet, who wasn't prepared, was literally blown away and fell from the observatory If she hadn't sunk her iron claw into the ground at the last moment.

Myne, on the other hand, for the first few seconds, forcefully continued to apply pressure to a single spot on the barrier in the hope of creating a small opening. However, before he could make a dent, a more powerful shockwave than he produced was released from the disk, throwing him directly out of the observatory, which wasn't very big in the first place.

"Myne!!"

Velvet's blood ran cold as she watched Myne plummet from the observatory with eyes wide open in shock and fear.

"I am fine, don't worry," Myne, who had fallen from the observatory but at the last moment used the double-jump skill to return and lay down on the ground spoke while panting heavily. This would surely be the fifth time he had met Lady Death from so close distance.

Velvet rushed to his side, relief washing over her as she confirmed he was unharmed, merely tired from using so many body-type skills at once, and sat down beside him.

"What should we do now? Although it is confirmed that this disk is the main power source of this tower, however, whatever made it clearly considered all dangers before putting such a powerful defence around it. With our current strength, I don't think we can even make a scratch on it even if we spend years trying," Velvet said emotionally.

Her eyes became moist, and although she is a strong girl and doesn't want to admit it, she is also feeling desperate now. All the hope she had to return to their world is now shattered just like that.

Myne remained silent for a moment, gazing at the endless emptiness above. His voice, when it finally emerged, was quiet but steady.

"Go back to the stairs."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What?!" Velvet exclaimed with shock. Although she expected that Myne would suggest they return and come back after getting more powerful since they now have no other option, she had not thought that he would let her go back alone.

"What? Hell, no!" Velvet protested fiercely. "You think I'm leaving you here? Without you, I might as well jump down myself. It's better than this endless nightmare."

Myne sighed heavily, and reached for her hand, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "When did I say I am going to leave you alone? I just said go back to the stairs because now I am going to use my most powerful skill. But it has a drawback that it couldn't differentiate between friend and foe, got it? Also, take this; there is magic water in it.

After I use this skill, my mana would be emptied out, so you had to make me drink that water later so I can recover quickly, got it?" He pressed a storage bag into her hand, who clearly wasn't convinced and gave him a suspicious look. After all, Myne's actions and speech were all similar to the character who was about to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

"Promise me you won't do anything stupid," Velvet bargained after a few seconds of thinking, and held out her right-hand pinky in front of Myne.

Myne met her gaze, the smile now tinged with amusement. "I promise. If I break the promise, you can do whatever punishment you want," He intertwined his pinky with hers, sealing the vow.

After receiving a childish guarantee, Velvet reluctantly took the storage pouch from Myne, and after giving him a good luck kiss, she descended the stairs, her heart heavy with unspoken worries but her spirit strengthened by his promise.

"Hoo, now everything is in your hands, my trump card. Please don't disappoint me and break this damn cursed disk; show it who the boss is and pave the way for our return home," Saying such, Myne first cast Unbeatable and Absolute Evasion, becoming invincible for the next half minute.

Then, he took a deep breath, used Sorcery Extremity to enhance the power of his skill and poured 90% of the mana stored in his inventory directly into his most deadly skill before casting it right in front of the black disk.

Unique Magic・Lightning!

The world erupted in a flash of blinding white again, just like last time, but Myne, who had experienced the feeling of being blind once, had already closed his eyes. A colossal bolt of thunder erupted from him, tearing a furrow into the dark sky with its blinding brilliance, tearing the cloth of darkness apart.

The demons in the town below looked at the never-changing dark sky filled with lighting, and gaped in awe and terror at the spectacle; this would surely be the first time in their lives they had seen such dangerous power.

The thunder crackled, ripping through the fabric of night and plunging back towards Myne in a breathtaking reversal. It struck him head-on with a deafening detonation as if giving him divine punishment for having so many beautiful ladies around him at such a young age.

BOOM!!!

A crackling sphere of purple lightning enshrouded Myne, a vortex of raw and uncontrollable power. Within seconds, the force field pulsated with terrifying lightning energy, enough to shake the entire tower slightly. The very air sizzled around him, tendrils of purple thunderbolts lashing out to the surrounding ground. Explosions erupted around him, carving fissures across the golden array.

If not for the fact that the observatory was built with special material and a golden array on it providing extra defence, Myne might have already dug his own grave. After all, the entire observatory platform is in the centre of the tower, meaning underneath it is nothing but a bottomless pit.

BOOM!!!

Another ear-splitting blast echoed from the sky, and one thunderbolt after another continued falling directly on Myne's head. The tower, which was absolutely invincible in the eyes of all demons living in it, began to show the strain. Cracks started appearing on the walls, and all the floors shook as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had hit them.

...

"What kind of ancient magic is the little bastard using?!" How can he have so much power to even damage the entire tower?" Belial, standing in the middle of the 6th floor, roared while gritting his teeth. Around him, blast after blast of booming explosions could be seen.

Most of the big machines were scattered into pieces under the explosion, demons were screaming and running around like headless chickens to save their lives, and some poor guys were blasted apart. Overall, everything was completely messed up; clearly, this earthquake cost Belial a lot.

"If you speak ill of my husband again, I will choke you to death," Gal stated indifferently. Her expression soon shifted to one of worry and nervousness as she tightened her fist, adorned with the wedding ring given to her by Myne. She silently prayed to the devil for his well-being.

Belial, caught off guard by the shift in her demeanour, "Tsk, crazy woman..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I'll check the warehouse. I hope it didn't blow up as well, otherwise, I don't know about you but Alban would surely choke me to death," Belial anxiety scurried away under Gal's dangerous gaze.

...

In a dark, gloomy, eerie chamber, a middle-aged man slowly placed the crystal orb back on the bloody experiment table. Within the crystal orb, a dark fog continuously swirled, forming ghostly distorted demon faces and screaming for mercy. The middle-aged man ignored it and his gaze was fixed on the ceiling, or more specifically, at Myne, who was surrounded by a lightning storm destroying his tower.

A flicker of surprise crossed his weathered face.

"So, the mice have escaped their cage. This is quite surprising," Alban withdrew his eyes from Myne and scanned the room as if his sight could penetrate the tower's entire structure. A weary sigh escaped his lips as he rubbed his temples. But surprisingly not a trace of anger could be seen on his face.

"These repairs will cost a fortune… But this is a minor concern compared to the looming crisis. I don't understand why such a low-level world has so many crazily powerful beings, and why the hell they're madly attacking me. It's as if I killed their parents," Alban sighed heavily and looked at the big floating screen in front of him.

Four dazzling lights, red, purple, blue, and yellow, could be seen attacking a giant barrier, making creaks on it before automatically repairing it the next moment.
