The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 63 : black sky (1) ＞

A few days have passed since I gave the skill book to Yutenia.

For me, it’s only a few days, but for the characters in the game, it’s a lot longer than that.

During that time, did I finish all the interpretation of the magic book that I handed over?

I logged into the game after work and was able to check the [Spellbook: Control Weather] in my inventory.

Apparently, in the spare time while carrying out the mission I had been given, Yutenia continued to hone her magic.

Yutenia showed me how to learn it without any problem no matter what spell book I handed over.

Considering that Roan’s skill book doesn’t produce similar results, it was right to think that Utenia was special.

“I mean, I did a really good job with the character.”

As I looked at the [Spellbook: Control Weather] that came into my inventory, I felt satisfied.

How many people who play this game have a filial piety like Yutenia?

Utenia was the gemstone of talent that I had barely discovered among the many characters.

It can also be viewed as luck obtained with incredible odds.

I handed a cake to Yutenia, who returned the spellbook through an offering.

Is it because it was a cake I had not received in a long time?

Yutenia smiled happily and ate all the cakes I had given her.

Of course, it was in the shape of not giving a single piece to the driver character in front of him.

– “Thank you for your grace today.”

After watching Yutenia eat for a long time, I immediately shifted my gaze to my inventory and looked at the magic book.

The [Spellbook: Control Weather] in the inventory was emitting a purple halo unlike the other spellbooks.

It is a halo that can only be seen in rare items such as [Magic Sword: Ednos].

It looked like he was wondering how great the power of magic would be.

Kwok.

When I pressed the spell book located in the inventory, a message asking if I wanted to acquire the skill came to mind.

– Do you want to learn the ＜Control Weather＞ skill?

– When acquired, the spell book disappears.

– Yes No

Of course, my only option was ‘yes’.

When the learn button was pressed, the spell book in the inventory disappeared, and a new skill icon appeared at the bottom of the screen.

An intuitive skill icon with clouds and sun drawn on it.

He had successfully mastered the ＜Control Weather＞ skill using the Spellbook.

– You have acquired ＜Control Weather (Lv.MAX)＞.

– You can now use Control Weather magic by consuming magic power.

Now that you’ve learned a new skill, it’s time to try it yourself.

I moved the screen and started to distance myself as much as possible from Yutenia.

It was because if he used magic recklessly, there was a possibility that Yutenia would also be involved in magic.

Whoops. Shh.

After flicking the screen several times, I saw a village with people.

After discovering a new village, I immediately activated the skill by touching the skill icon of ＜Control Weather＞.

“Do I have to choose the weather to change first?”

As soon as I pressed the icon of the ＜Control Weather＞ skill, six buttons appeared on the screen.

Sunny. blur. rain. swelter. storm. Solar eclipse.

It was a list of the weather conditions supported by the ＜Control Weather＞ skill.

I touched the ‘storm’ button, which seemed the most intuitive of the six buttons.

I thought that I would be able to confirm the change of the tile more clearly than in other weather conditions.

tuk.

At the same time as pressing the storm button, a target to set the range of the skill came to mind.

“Can you adjust the skill range separately?”

An additional marker with adjustable range was attached to the border of the newly appeared target.

I tried to manipulate the range of the target by touching the marker.

Pulling the marker increases the range of the skill, and pushing the marker decreases the range of the skill.

Of course, there was no penalty for increasing the range of skills.

As the marker was pulled, the estimated magic consumption displayed at the top of the screen increased.

Conversely, when the range was reduced, the expected horsepower consumption decreased.

“In addition to the range, there is also a duration setting.”

Also, there was a button to set the duration in the upper right corner of the target.

The minimum value of the duration was 1 hour, which seemed to be able to maintain the meteorological phenomenon for up to 7 days.

It was confirmed that the shorter the duration of the skill, the lower the consumption of magic power.

Since ＜Control Weather＞ doesn’t consume a lot of magic power, it seemed difficult to overuse the skill even with my greatly increased amount of magic power.

When the size of the target was appropriately reduced and the duration was set to 1 day, the estimated magic consumption was approximately 2%.

At this level, it was not too much of a problem to use it for testing purposes.

After finishing all the settings, I activated the ＜Control Weather＞ skill by pressing the target.

– I used ＜Control Weather: Tempest＞.

– The effect of ＜Control Weather＞ lasts for 1 day.

As soon as I used the skill, dark clouds began to gather around me.

It wasn’t just the rain, but it was because he chose the storm option.

The trees within the skill range were shaking violently.

It didn’t take long for the dark clouds that were gathering quickly to produce the results.

A few minutes after the clouds began to gather, rain began to pour from the sky.

“Five…….”

shoot ah

Thick raindrops were falling on the area where ＜Control Weather＞ was activated.

It was a situation in which the surrounding weather changed according to the changed weather environment.

As a storm raged in the village, a laundry hanging from a line was seen flying away.

When I saw the sight of rain pouring down from the sky, I felt strange for some reason.

It is the most extensive and intuitive magic among all the magic so far.

It was a very interesting scene to watch the weather change on a tile with one finger.

“It’s okay, except that it consumes a lot of magic power.”

Probably because it was a high-level magic, the magic consumption was never small.

However, even taking that into consideration, it was undoubtedly an interesting magic in its own way.

If you use a skill, you can change the weather on your own whim.

“By the way, how far can this… extend the range?”

After using the skill by reducing the range, this time I felt like I wanted to increase the range as much as possible.

If you consume most of your magic power and use ＜Control Weather＞, how far will you be able to change the weather?

It was a question that anyone who played the game would be curious about.

My gaze naturally turned to the skill icon of ＜Control Weather＞.

“I’ll have to check it out.”

If you’re curious, it’s only natural to experiment right away.

After touching the ＜Control Weather＞ skill, I pressed the ‘Eclipse’ button to select the desired weather.

Then, by moving the marker, I tried to increase the target area of the ＜Control Weather＞ magic to the maximum.

If the size of the target area was expanded to the limit of magic power, the target area increased to a size equivalent to about 20% of the movable area.

Compared to a single village, it must have been a very large area.

“If you reduce the duration, it would be possible to increase it further.”

The current range is based on the default duration of 3 days.

If the duration of the skill was further reduced here, it might be possible to expand the range proportionally.

I modified the duration setting of ＜Control Weather＞ and lowered the duration of the skill to 1 day.

As soon as the duration of ＜Control Weather＞ was reduced, the estimated magic consumption was reduced by one-third.

If you move the marker in this state, you will be able to expand the range of your skills than before.

“Okay. The range keeps increasing.”

I continued to move the skill markers to expand the scope of the skill’s application.

As the size of the target area increased to 50% of the movable range, the estimated magical power consumption rose to 89% of the maximum horse power.

It has already consumed 2% of its magic power to make it rain.

If the magic power was used up to its maximum value, there was a high probability that the characters would not be able to share the magic power normally.

I stopped the movement of the skill marker when the estimated magic consumption reached 89%.

Then, by touching the target once again, the ＜Control Weather＞ skill was cast.

– I used ＜Control Weather: Solar Eclipse＞.

– The effect of ＜Control Weather＞ lasts for 1 day.

When the target was touched, messages indicating that the skill was used were displayed one after another.

At the same time, strange things began to happen throughout the screen.

Kugugugugugugugu–.

As the screen went dark, a loud sound began to resound somewhere.

It’s unclear exactly where the sound was coming from, but it was clear that something big was going to happen.

“No, the skill sound… Why is it so loud?”

Kugugugung——!

The sound from the speakers continued to grow louder.

The screen of the smartphone continued to darken accordingly.

coogong. Kugugung——.

The volume, which had been continuously increasing, had risen to the point where it was enough to fill the entire room.

The moment when the loud sound reaches the output limit of the speaker.

Dark darkness fell across the screen.

* * * * * *

western empire. Keterent fat.

Cloud’s chief investigator, Van Creit, looked ahead with a sharp gaze.

Warlocks in black robes were lying in front of him.

They were all fallen by the swordsmanship of half.

The warlocks lying in front of him were the ends of a secret society called ‘Abyss’.

In order to investigate the traces of the Abyss that have recently started to move, a special investigator, Ban, was directly dispatched to this place.

“Did you find any clues?”

With a serious expression on his face, a subordinate who was accompanying him asked the class who was worried.

Van Kreit was a well-known investigator within the Cloud.

Mighty power. great trick. Even a handsome appearance to match him.

There were countless investigators from Cloud who admired him.

The subordinate who is now accompanying the class was also one of the people who respected the class.

The reason he brought up this question to Van was because he believed in Van’s keen insight.

“The altar is annoying.”

“You mean the altar?”

At Van’s words, the eyes of his subordinates turned to the nearby altar.

It was the altar of demon worship used by the warlocks of the Abyss.

Numerous geometric patterns were placed on the altar.

Warlocks had to make sacrifices through these altars to obtain magical powers.

He knew that such an altar existed every time he saw it, but he did not know the details of the type of altar.

Van added a description of the altar in front of him for such a subordinate.

“Warlocks tend to make sacrifices to the beings of the abyss to build up their karma.”

“It’s a famous story of warlocks sacrificing animals or people.”

“But this altar is much bigger and more splendid than the other altars I’ve seen before.”

It is bigger and more splendid than ordinary altars.

That was the reason that made Van’s expression dark.

The patterns on the altar were not just decorations, but had magical meanings.

The large and splendid design of the altar was an element that even the class should seriously consider.

“The splendor… it might be a more important altar.”

“It may be dedicated to something more extraordinary than the existing demons.”

In the case of the altar that the Warlocks had, it was an altar that required a considerable level of difficulty in crafting.

What a great being to use such a splendid altar.

A name that he had read in an ancient text flashed through the minds of the contemplating class.

Demon King Acrosis.

The most evil and terrifying demon summoned by the beings who were the origins of all warlocks.

If it were such an existence, would it be possible to summon it through an altar of this size?

Van sighed and turned around with his back to the altar.

“Are all investigations over?”

Tub. Tub.

Van’s footsteps echoed in the cave where the warlocks were hiding.

As Van was about to leave the warlocks’ hideout, a subordinate who followed him asked him.

In the hands of his subordinates, there were several pieces of evidence collected in the hideout.

Van nodded his head at the question of the subordinates following him.

“I feel strange. I feel like I’m different from the demons so far.”

“Maybe we’ll be fighting a much stronger demon than ever before.”

“Maybe. There must be quite a lot to report today.”

As the level of the demon contracted with the Warlock increases, Cloud’s sacrifice will also increase.

If the opponent was about the legendary king of spirits, there was a possibility that he could not be stopped even with half his skills.

Just because he had easily subjugated the opponent he had just fought against, he shouldn’t be taking the next opponent lightly.

The moment when Van, who had been contemplating the identity of the devil, stepped out of the hiding place.

He had to face a completely different problem from the problems he had been dealing with.

“This is… what the hell…”

“……”

Right in front of the hiding place he escaped from.

In the sky where the sun had risen just before, now the black sun appeared.

Even the stars could not appear properly in the dark night sky.

black sun. dark sky.

And the dark world beneath it.

The eyes of the class who faced the black sky were trembling violently.

“What the hell… what’s going on?”

Van Crete.

What unfolded before his eyes was a landscape beyond human common sense.
