The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

The ice mana condensed in his right hand emitted various brilliant colors from the power of the fairies.

The light trailed behind Isaac, following him like a tail.

Now I understand why I’m the most suitable.

He felt a heavy pressure weighing down on all five of his senses as he controlled the power.

He sensed that if he stayed like this, he might reach a mysterious truth beyond comprehension.

But the price would be death.

It was impossible to endure while keeping this power within his body.

He would have had to pour everything into a singular attack.

[Let’s see this to the end!]

Clady, the Cloud fairy, shouted with a smile.

The rain that drenched Rachnil did not freeze, even under [Frostwind]. It merely became extremely cold.

The showers Clady unleashed maximized my [Elemental Synergy].

However, only beings comparable to fairies could benefit from that effect.

Before long, Isaac reached the front of Rachnil’s chest.

[You detestable wizard!]

Slash!!

The giant flying greatswords cut through the vines, and Rachnil regained his freedom.

Rachnil swung a greatsword infused with iron mana toward Isaac, the eerie yet arrogant human.

A fierce sound of slicing air. A sword strike that could slice through the distant horizon. The spreading iron mana made the range of the slash extremely wide.

But that was all it did.

“Yes… let’s see this to the end.”

The end of「Act 11, Chapter 3, Fairy War」of ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱.

Isaac flew toward Rachnil.

To counter the greatsword swung toward him, he unleashed the ice mana condensed in his right hand.

Boooom!!!!!

An ear-splitting explosion rang out.

A pale blue light filled the iron sanctuary and surged toward the distant sky through the pierced ceiling.

Overwhelming firepower was unleashed onto the world.

Sharp ice spikes continuously froze the air as they stretched toward the distant sky.

Elaine, the rainbow fairy, dispelled the barrier and infused the ice masses with rainbow mana.

The ice masses, charged with the power of shock reflection, continuously rose and collided with the greatswords falling from the sky.

Crack!!!

The greatswords in the sky shattered, clearing the way for the ice masses.

Isaac’s ice, infused with the fairies’ mana and further amplified by Clady’s ability through [Elemental Synergy], easily surpassed the hardness of Rachnil’s iron.

Boom!!!!

A massive amount of ice surged, overflowing and completely destroying the Iron Sanctuary, piece by piece.

The iron giant froze solid and shattered into pieces. Its debris began to rain down across the area.

[What… just happened…?]

Amidst the raging cold.

Rachnil, now in his childlike form, was falling through the air in a panic, his body in tatters.

His body was filled to the brim with a frigid chill.

Thud!

A man flew in as if waiting and grabbed Rachnil by the head.

Three pairs of ice wings stretched out, covering Rachnil’s vision.

His eyes trembled violently as if caught in an earthquake.

The ice wizard, the very embodiment of frigidity, was glaring at him with cold, crimson eyes.

“Didn’t I say I would kill you?”

[P-please, spare me…!]

Ice mana gushed down.

Rachnil’s head froze in an instant.

And then.

Crack!!

Isaac clenched his fist, and Rachnil’s head shattered, exploding into pieces.

The Iron Sanctuary continued to crumble.

The people at the Aldreque shelter, the McGregor twins, the commanders of Mephisto, and the legion commanders of Dufendorf, who had been fighting, all stared at the scene, dumbfounded.

[…Well, I guess I have no other choice. It’s been fun, everyone! I would stay longer but it seems like that’s my cue to go. I’ll leave the rest to you, Thanatos~.]

“What? Hey, wait…!”

Thud!!

Mephisto snapped his own neck, instantly killing himself.

Meanwhile.

“As expected, there was a way. What a terrifying man.”

Water Sovereign Siren Silivian said in admiration.

The other Elemental Kings were also astonished by Isaac, who had subjugated the Iron Fairy, but there was no time to relax. They had to focus on fending off Thanatos’ attack.

Rachnil’s body turned to ash and vanished, leaving Isaac holding a strangely carved iron orb in his hand.

Everything Rachnil had built turned into beautiful silvery dust and scattered in the wind.

[Congratulations! You have defeated the fairy [Iron Fairy Rachnil (Lv 200)] and gained EXP!]

[Level Up!! Your Level has increased to 168!]

[You have gained 44 stat points!]

[You have unlocked the legendary achievement ❰Broken Sword❱! Elemental resistances have increased by 30!]

[Loot [Iron Core] obtained!]

[Iron Core]

The source of iron mana. If the suitable one for iron mana accepts this core, they will one day rival the fairies.

Rank: Tier 1

As Isaac withdrew his ice mana and released the ice mass, a large amount of mana trail gently fell over Aldreque, like snowflakes in midwinter.

To the people, it was an incredibly beautiful sight.

As the Iron Sanctuary disappeared, the rest of Isaac’s party, who were about to fall, were lifted into the air by Dorothy and Kaya with starlight and wind magic respectively.

They slowly descended to the ground.

“We somehow won…!”

Dorothy was relieved.

As Alice rode Kaya’s wind magic and descended, she stared blankly at Isaac.

[Kaya.]

“Sylphia?”

Sylphia, the Emerald Fairy, whispered into Kaya’s ear.

[Our role ends here. We can no longer interfere in your affairs.]

“…”

Kaya tightly hugged Sylphia.

Sylphia’s eyes widened in surprise.

“We can meet again, right?”

[…Yes, cutie. I’ll always be there, see you again.]

“Take care.”

Sylphia smiled, turning into glowing dust, and scattered into the wind.

Then, Sylphia and the other four fairies, having completed their roles, became shooting stars and crossed the sky.

Whoooosh.

[Frostwind] subsided.

As the dark clouds cleared and a rainbow appeared, sunlight poured onto the man hovering high above, with three pairs of ice wings spread wide.

It was a holy sight as if a god had descended.

The cold of the Ice Sovereign, which only those who had reached the highest level of the ice element could control, was gently flowing from his entire body.

Isaac, the Ice Sovereign.

His ice-cold crimson eyes turned toward Thanatos the Ruination, in the distant wilderness.

Since Thanatos’ resurrection, powerful magic must have been used to try to stop his attacks.

While Isaac was battling Iron Fairy Rachnil, Thanatos seemed to have devoured the mana of the Elemental Kings, growing stronger and larger. To Isaac, he appeared far larger than he had in the game.

To defeat him, Isaac would need to unleash overwhelmingly destructive attacks, rendering Thanatos’s ability to absorb power and grow meaningless.

Domain Expansion, [Realm of the Eternal Glacial Palace], was poison. Domain magic that did not inflict immediate damage would only serve as a growth stimulant for Thanatos.

Clang!

The Frostscythe, held by the Frost Dragon Hilde, transformed into a form of mana and transferred into Isaac’s hand.

“Demons…”

A demon came into view.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The enemy ignited a fire in Isaac’s heart.

A setting for battling demons.

The conditions were met.

“I’m really sick of you guys.”

Isaac closed his eyes.

The mana coursing through his body pulsed.

Soon, the mana began to rage.

[You have recognized the demon as an enemy.]

[The unique trait [Hunter] is activated!]

[Your level and stats are temporarily greatly enhanced!]

[Your skill tree temporarily becomes +10!]

Fully feeling the sensation, Isaac let out a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

While his level was no longer counted past 200, his stats continued to increase, capped at the EX rank.

At this moment, Isaac had reached a level beyond what humanity could dare approach.

Whoooosh!!

The overwhelming mana of Isaac, activated by [Hunter], spread across the world.

Suddenly, the sky turned dark blue. A knife-like chill began to swirl around it.

This effect enhanced the power of his ice magic raining down from the sky.

The unique magic of the Frostscythe, [Divine Authority - Everlasting Night].

At that moment, Isaac became the ruler of the sky.

“Hilde.”

[Kaaaargh!!]

Behind Isaac, a huge white dragon roared and soared into the sky. It spread its beautiful white wings wide, scattering white jade mana.

It was Hilde, the Frost Dragon.

The white dragon carried Ian Fairytale on its back.

“Let’s go.”

Isaac and the Frost Dragon began flying at terrifying speeds.

Wind pressure spread in every direction. The cold of the Ice Sovereign trailed behind Isaac like a tail.

“Oh my god…”

The people of Aldreque felt a terror akin to death.

Even the Elemental kings, who were engaged in a large-scale battle with Thanatos the Ruination, felt a chilling sense of dread.

Isaac’s presence as the Ice Sovereign had already far surpassed all limits.

Kooooooom.

A shadow followed, casting over the wilderness.

Suddenly, a massive iron gate, so large its scale was impossible to gauge, appeared in the sky above the Elemental Kings and Thanatos, overlooking the ground.

Countless people saw the iron gate and gaped in shock.

The Water Sovereign Siren’s expression stiffened. Lightning Sovereign Jaul and Fire Sovereign Andersen narrowed their eyes. Wind Sovereign Erin remained as expressionless as ever.

“Is that… from back then?”

“Is it the Primordial Magic Beast?”

As Water Sovereign Siren grew bewildered, Fire Sovereign Andersen responded in a grave tone.

“Wait, hold on a second! If that iron gate opens, absolute zero will pour out…! Why are you summoning that monster? Ice Sovereign, what on earth are you thinking…?!”

As the Elemental Kings felt an ominous sense, a frosty voice echoed in their heads.

[Deploy the barrier and hold out.]

So that this world does not freeze over.

[I’ll handle that thing.]

Isaac gave orders to the Elemental Kings.

How they were to deploy the barrier immediately became clear in the minds of the Elemental Kings, as Isaac’s will flashed through their consciousness.

“This is interesting…”

The Water Sovereign Siren gave a faint chuckle, breaking into a cold sweat.

“You’re telling me to stop the end of the world, caused by you? You must be out of your mind.”

Isaac was about to unleash world-ending firepower.
