American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 233 Wizards are Gods

After nearly exhausting all his magic power, Rune was finally able to relax. The amount of magic power required to create such a space was astonishing. Now, he only had less than one-tenth of the magic power left in his body. Although this magic power was still astonishing, even if he poured it all into it, the size of the space that could be expanded would actually be quite limited.

This is similar to blowing up a balloon in water; the bigger you blow it up, the more gas you need to use.

Rune, who had never been so exhausted, returned to the workshop and fell asleep without even saying hello. Hecate, who had not been assigned a place to stay, could only sleep with the raven.

Darkness surged in like a tide, directly engulfing his consciousness. At this moment, Rune instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

A mage at his level possesses mental power strong enough to completely control the contents of his dreams, unless they are beings like the Sandman or Doctor Fate. The former goes without saying; he is a member of the Endless Family and has mastered the power of dreams and reality, possibly the strongest being ever imprisoned by mortals.

The latter is a ruthless individual who manipulates reality and dreams using the Dream Stone. At his peak, he confronted Morpheus head-on but was utterly defeated and had his Dream Stone taken away. However, perhaps due to his long-term contact with the Dream Stone, he not only retained the power to manipulate dreams and reality but also later recreated a Dream Stone that combined the power of the dreams of 60 billion people. Such an existence can, of course, also invade Rune's dream.

Rune looked around. Although he was surrounded by darkness, he could still breathe. It was a strange feeling, like returning to amniotic fluid, which was reassuring.

But this did not dispel Rune's suspicions. If it were the Sandman who came looking for him, that would be one thing, but the darkness engulfing him was clearly not a benevolent force. He had no choice but to shout, "Who's there?"

A soft laugh came from all directions, and the voice was like a mixture of hundreds of voices, including a woman's sweet voice, a child's innocent voice, an old man's hoarse voice, and even the roar of an unknown creature.

"My dear Rune," the voice called his name affectionately, as kindly as a father speaking to his son: "Why do you resist? Our relationship has transcended that of lovers and friends; you have my blood in your veins."

Fk!

Upon hearing this, Rune knew exactly who the visitor was, and sighed inwardly. The fusion of magical creature bloodlines with this magic clearly had its limits. But even after being filtered by both the Raven Mother and the magic itself, it was a bit absurd that Sannomiya was still able to find him.

With a sigh, Rune replied, "Come out, Sannomiya, I know you're here."

Amidst the distorted light and shadow, the silhouette of a woman appeared and disappeared. The next moment, the darkness seemed to be repelled and fled, and the circle around Rune became bright, making the woman appear even more alluring.

She wore a dark red velvet robe for her enrollment, the hem of which rippled with flowing flames, outlining breathtaking curves. Her face was so beautiful it seemed inhuman, with narrow eyes that flashed with crimson-gold vertical pupils, and four horizontal lines on her forehead.

If he didn't know who she was, Rune might have stared at her a little longer, but right now he just found it an eyesore.

There are also theories that demons deliberately cater to human aesthetics in order to entice humans to fall. However, for a demon of Sannomiya's caliber, gender is simply a dispensable thing. If he wanted, Sannomiya's gender could really become a Walmart plastic bag.

But Rune still felt uncomfortable.

"I know what you were originally like, Sannomiya. You can save your mana now." Rolling his eyes, Rune directly questioned, "What do you want?"

The woman grinned, her mouth stretching all the way down to her ears, enough to trigger the uncanny valley effect. Fortunately, the darkness surged and converged on Sannomiya's location, beginning to reshape his body.

A demon lord emerged from the endless darkness and appeared before Rune. He appeared to be three meters tall, his muscular body covered with fine crimson scales, and with each breath, waves of heat emanated from him—this was a dream, but Sangoku was unscientifically following the laws of science.

"I need you, Rune. Become my warrior." Sannomiya looked at Rune, a satisfied smile on his face. "My blood flows in your veins, and the power of darkness is coursing through your veins. Don't deny it; you should feel its power now, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's time to become stronger."

"I apologize for declining." Rune directly rejected Sannomiya's proposal. "I already have my own path, and it's a very promising one—."

"Is it promising?"

The dream suddenly twisted and changed. Rune turned his head and looked around, finding himself standing in a familiar place. This place was different from what he remembered. When Kamar-Taj was invaded, it didn't burn this large. But at this very moment, those things that had been passed down for thousands of years...

Ancient books, which record the painstaking efforts of countless monks, are turning to ash, along with their last trace in this world, being erased.

Rune was suddenly overcome with grief.

"Look at your pathetic human magic," the Trigon Demon rose from the countless ashes, disdainfully grabbing a book that hadn't yet caught fire and throwing it in front of Rune. "Lengthy incantations, complicated magic circles, borrowed power, some even requiring those ridiculous hand gestures—how utterly inefficient!"

Trigon's body continued to expand, and his body crashed through the roof of Kamar-Taj. A burning beam crashed down on Rune, who instinctively tried to activate his magic, but it was no use. The beam still hit him, and the heat scorched his body.

This defies common sense. Even without magic, Rune's body is comparable to that of a Kryptonian. He wouldn't die even if he were hit by a burning piece of wood or the sun, but this burning piece of wood burned him.

"Can you feel it?" A rumbling voice came from above. Sangu had grown as majestic as a mountain. As he bent down, looking at Rune with amusement, the entire sky seemed to be obscured by him: "In my domain, if I want something to come true, it will come true!"

When Sangu said those words, Rune immediately thought of a line from a magic book at Hogwarts: Wizards are gods.
