Born Without Magic… So What?

Arya slowly took a long breath.

Then he quietly said,

"Now... let the real fun begin."

"In this world..."

"They’ll die like insects."

The next moment, Arya activated his Wing skill.g huh

A pair of large white wings appeared behind his back.

The wings slowly spread before flapping once.

Arya’s body gently rose into the air.

He continued flying higher until he stopped above the center of the market.

From there...

He could clearly see the entire slave market below.

Every tent...

Every noble...

Every guard...

Every slave...

Everything was within his sight.

Arya slowly raised his right hand toward the sky.

His eyes remained completely calm.

Then he spoke a single word.

"Begin."

At that exact moment...

Every Shadow Monster received his final order.

Without making a single sound...

They acted at the same time.

Across every corner of the slave market...

People suddenly collapsed one after another.

Nobles...

Merchants...

Guards...

Workers...

Slave traders...

Even the slaves inside the cages...

One after another...

Their bodies fell to the ground.

The Shadow Monsters ended their lives by stopping their hearts.

There wasn’t even enough time for anyone to scream.

As each person died...

A pure white soul slowly floated out from their body.

Countless white lights gathered together before flying toward Arya’s raised right hand.

From a distance...

It looked like thousands of beautiful white streams filling the sky.

Every soul entered Arya’s hand one after another.

At the same time...

Far away, inside the Lord’s base in the other kingdom...

Every person controlled by the Shadow Monsters also fell dead.

Their souls also left their bodies and flew toward Arya.

Then a notification appeared.

[ You have killed 5,000 / 50,000 ]

Only a few moments later...

Another notification appeared.

[ You have killed 15,000 / 50,000 ]

The number continued increasing at an unbelievable speed.

Meanwhile...

Inside the slum area of Sunlight Town...

Everyone controlled by the Shadow Monsters suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

Every person...

Every guard...

Even the Lord...

All of them died.

Their white souls also left their bodies and flew toward Arya.

Another notification appeared.

[ You have killed 25,000 / 50,000 ]

Then another.

[ You have killed 30,000 / 50,000 ]

[ 20,000 more kills are required to complete the trial. ]

[ Evolution will begin after the trial is completed. ]

The numbers continued rising.

[ You have killed 35,000 / 50,000 ]

Back inside the slave market...

More and more people continued falling.

Not a single noble survived.

Not a single guard remained standing.

Even every slave inside the cages died one after another.

The once noisy market had become completely silent.

Only countless white souls continued rising into the sky before being absorbed into Arya’s hand.

Another notification appeared.

[ You have killed 45,000 / 50,000 ]

Within only a short time...

Every person controlled by the Shadow Monsters had died.

The Shadow Monsters simply stopped each victim’s heart.

The moment their hearts stopped...

Their lives ended instantly.

Finally...

The last soul entered Arya’s hand.

A final notification appeared.

[ You have killed 50,000 / 50,000 ]

[ Congratulations. Trial requirement completed. ]

[ Demon Lord Evolution will begin soon. ]

At that same moment...

Miyuki finally arrived at the center of the slave market.

She looked up into the sky.

Arya was still floating high above the market with his white wings spread behind him.

A few seconds later...

He slowly descended from the sky.

His feet gently touched the ground as he landed in front of Miyuki.

Then Arya looked at her and said,

"I told you to bring that thing you bought from the market."

Without saying anything, Miyuki took out the crystal ball and carefully held it with both hands.

Arya looked at the crystal ball before speaking.

"Now..."

"After killing fifty thousand people..."

"My ritual has already started."

"Soon..."

"I’ll become a Demon Lord."

"I don’t know if I’ll be able to control my body freely during that moment."

Then he looked at Miyuki again.

"Take off your ring."

Miyuki quietly removed the ring from her finger and handed it to Arya.

The moment she took it off...

Her appearance returned to normal.

She became her real self again.

A ten-year-old demi-human fox girl.

Her fox ears and fluffy tail appeared once more.

Arya then took out a necklace and handed it to her.

"Wear it."

Without asking any questions, Miyuki quietly wore the necklace around her neck.

That necklace was a protection item.

If she received a fatal injury or was about to die, the necklace would absorb that damage instead.

After taking that power, the necklace would break.

It was a one-time life-saving item.

After that, Arya gave the ring back to her.

This time, when Miyuki wore it again, her appearance didn’t change.

Now the ring was only acting as a protection item.

Then Arya handed her one last item.

It was a hand band.

"If you get hurt..."

"Half of your pain and injuries will be shared with me."

After making sure she had every protection item, Arya looked directly into her eyes.

"Are you ready for this ritual?"

"Tell me quickly."

"My ritual will start soon."

"Before that..."

"I have to complete yours."

Miyuki answered without hesitation.

"Yes."

"What you do..."

"I’ll follow you."

"I’m ready."

The ritual Arya was preparing for Miyuki...

Was an Evolution Ritual.

Arya’s own evolution came from the System.

But in this world...

People had to perform dangerous rituals to evolve.

There was one serious problem.

The moment the ritual began...

A huge amount of new magic energy would enter Miyuki’s body.

That magic energy was extremely powerful.

Most people would die because their bodies couldn’t withstand such overwhelming power.

That was why Arya had already given her several magic items for protection.

Then Arya spoke inside his mind.

"Hey, System."

"Start the Offering Ritual."

Immediately...

A notification appeared before him.

[ Offering Ritual has started. ]

[ You may now offer the sacrifice to the God of Death. ]

Arya slowly closed his eyes.

Then he quietly said,

"God of Death..."

"Please accept this offering."

"Accept all of these bodies..."

"And please help her gain new power."

At the same time...

Miyuki tightly held the crystal ball with both hands.

The crystal ball slowly began glowing with a white light.

She quietly whispered,

"Please..."

"Help me become stronger."

The white light inside the crystal ball became brighter and brighter.

Then suddenly...

Every dead body inside the slave market disappeared.

At the same moment...

All the dead bodies inside the Lord’s base in the other kingdom also vanished.

Far away...

Inside the slum area...

Every dead body disappeared as well.

On the other side...

The Sunlight Town soldiers had already been watching the slum ever since everyone collapsed.

They were still confused about what had happened.

But when every single body suddenly disappeared before their eyes...

Their expressions instantly changed.

Shock filled every one of their faces.

None of them could believe what they had just witnessed.
