Chapter 2

"Y-You! What have you done?"

"Huh?"

For the first time since I came here, the evil god showed signs of caution.

"My Evil Beam is the strongest skill. Even if it were an ancient dragon, a phoenix, or a god, they would perish if hit by it."

Even so, I don't really understand the situation.

"I'll fire them continuously. Even if you manage to dodge by chance, you won't be able to avoid this many."

It seems that in the evil god's mind, I had dodged the beam just now.

Countless beams rush towards me, but...

"What! Impossible!"

There was no gap to avoid, yet they disappeared. I don't understand what's happening.

I decided to check my status to find the cause.

Somehow, my status had changed without me realizing it.

"You, you! If it comes to this, I'll tear you apart directly!!"

The evil god threw away his staff and came towards me.

Somehow, an image flowed into my mind. Just like how my body moved unconsciously earlier, I now knew what to do next.

"I'll rip apart your frail body and drag out your intestines. I'll bring your head as a gift to the kingdom and ensure you never make such a presumptuous move again!"

Just as the evil god's hand was about to touch me, something clicked in my head. I acted on instinct.

"[Evil Beam]"

"What, what the hell—!!!"

A black wave was released from me, striking the evil god directly.

"N-No... way... My strongest skill... you... used... it...?"

The evil god looked shocked, as if seeing something unbelievable.

"I-It... can't... be..."

He fell to the ground with a thud.

After a while, I approached him. His bones turned to ash and were carried away by the wind. The only things left were a crown, a cloak, and a staff, along with various ornaments the evil god had worn.

"Um... did the evil god just die?"

It seems the evil god's words were true. The Evil Beam I fired has the power to destroy ancient dragons, phoenixes, and even gods.

"I didn't expect my unique skill to have such an effect..."

Did it awaken just before I died?

Now, the method of using the skill is clearly etched in my mind.

My skill, 'Stock,' is a skill that can accumulate anything.

"It seems my level has increased..."

I stared at the status screen, as if seeing something unbelievable.

- Evil Beam × 9998

"Sure enough, the evil god is something else. My status has become ridiculous."

Until just now, I was a human with abilities weaker than most.

But now, it's different.

My level increased from defeating the evil god, and I have become incredibly strong.

"Well, I should pick up the items first."

I regained my composure and collected the evil god's cloak, staff, and other enchanted items and ornaments.

"It's convenient that I can store everything in Stock."

My 'Stock' can also store items.

"There might be treasures in the inner room... They are probably items worn by people who were sacrificed or offerings presented to the evil god."

I stored all of these items carefully. After a while...

"This is a pretty impressive sword."

I found a sword embedded in a rock.

"It's hard. It doesn't seem to come out..."

It was as if it was fused with the rock...

"Oh, I can take it with Stock... Hmm, it's called [Divine Sword Vormund]."

Thanks to Stock, the name became clear. After spending a few minutes storing all the treasures scattered in the room...

"Well, I should go back and tell everyone the evil god is dead."

I jumped onto the magic array I used to come here. The people who have suffered under the evil god for so long will be happy.

I recalled the sad face of my childhood friend as I entered the magic array. I want to let them know I'm safe and reassure them. I'll probably get scolded, but...

I relaxed the corners of my mouth and waited for the teleportation...

"...It's not moving?"

It seems this magic array is one-way.
