28_World Affair
Chapter 28: Far-fetched delivery-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aimia: Contreated light into weapons made of light. Depending on the user's mana output. Light magic of this level will not cause harm to those demons of “marquises” and above. Upon making contact, the weapon will become a remote control bomb that will detonate as the user will.Words of an apostle: An authority of the previous “Kushiel”, which binding the enemy to the words of faith. As command of God,l the discipline will succeed in carrying. Kushiel controls the enemy that suited the mission of God, this will not cost any mana but an aching pain that is similar to the sinner will be placed upon Kushiel as a trade-off.Archangel of discipline: An authority of the previous “Kushiel”, which imitate any instrument of rehabilitation. Those instruments will be invisible to the naked eye but visible with mana sense. The difference betwe

29_Mournful camaraderie
Chapter 29: Day before sacrifice"The deed has been done, your faithful servant Ash," expresses the dark will o wisp outside the afternoon window speak the voice of the royal messenger. It appears that he had other things to do before returning, as it converses before disappearing. For the time being, I have no use for him, so a short vacation would be preferable."Which spell, Mikhail, has flown into your office window?" Ragnorr enters groaning, having grown too accustomed to the palace, and orders his servants to do the same as mine. When it comes to cleaning, they are far more professional than my servants." 'Numtius,' it was from the royal messenger. The nature of his mana darkens it." I explain as the second day's dusk falls, the scenery is so slightly different from the first. A gust of autumn air carrying the scent of harvest, the vacant moon in the sky only weak light replaces it. It's far too quiet this time of year."Another unusual pheromone, I wish time would stand still

30_Ascending overture
Chapter 30: Starting words-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------‘spiculum’: A spell that takes the shape of the user's imagination of a weapon, utilizing the elemental arcane of the user. The mana usage is low but it was still uncommonly used because such elemental consternation is quite damaging to the mortals' kind of physique so it is used rarely as a sort of projectile.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Those days feel like an ephemeral drift of interludes, days passing in and out with no purpose. I regained much of my spell sense while still limiting my output to avoid exhaustion from death and rebirth.Ragnorr is in good health. To be honest, after meeting Kryos, he perceives me as having a more direct approach. I don't feel as much distance between us as I did previously. He occasionally brings his theories on

31_Chorus climax
Chapter 31: Provocation and DeflectionStepping into the transparent door, the high elve cast many spells of security. Such spells are hard to control as it is decoding magical locks that are implanted into the door not so rough to trigger a criminal reaction from those locks. A hallway made of white limestone appears when those locks are dispersed, and the disrupted flow of mana returns the castle to its true form.A normal castle that differs from the fairytales weaved by many that attend. For sure, anyone with a bit of rationality would know the hazard of building on glasses or reflective material like mythril. Overheating or freezing due to the ineffectiveness of releasing heat, not to mention how tiresome would the maintenance be every year.The door leads to the meeting room where I and Ragnorr is the last guest to arrive. The circle table from the left to right would be our empty seats, Tanwen with her guard for the beast representative, the human king Marvos with his chancello

32.1_Bitter conclusion
Chapter 32.1: Breaking point--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------‘flare’: A spell that creates a small combustible fireable, those whose touch by flare’s flame shall be burnt, regardless of resistance against fire magic. Flare’s color is that of reddish yellow, which in normal cooking but those in the elemental attribute is much higher.‘Exsultet’: Spell in the [apocalypse] series. Summon a high pillar of flame that rained down on the enemies. Any fire resistance lower than “dragon”, will be reduced to mere dust. It consumes most of the user's mana as some make it a multiple sacrifices for the spell to activate.[apocalypse] series: Consisted of five spells accordingly to the five basic elements, ‘Judgement’ for lightning, ‘Exsultet’ for fire, ‘Typhoon’ for wind, ‘Genesis flood’ for water, “Eschatological” for the earth.[Confiteor] : Inquistor Kushiel unique skill. Where an invisible bell rings to the en

32.2_Unwanted requiem
Chapter 32.2: Death of an archangel[Contain “extreme violence” and “gore”. Proceed with cautious]----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------‘glacies mausoleum’: A torturing spell that was born from Mikhail’s insane rationality when raging. Creating a frosted field that slowly freezes those in it alive. The acceleration of hypothermia and radius of the frosted field depends solely on the user’s mana flow and mana output. In short, it is quite unstable to use as the range from a normal freeze spell for treating overheating or an instakill spell against the whole army.‘Thanatos metere’: A technique that requires high focus and skill in controlling mana manifestation. creating string-like manas from the fingertips to wrap around the dying enemy's soul. This is a high-risk technique as the penalty for failure range from losing the soul wanting to steal to possession in rare cases.‘implode’: A space-wrapping spe

33.1_Normalcy judgement
Chapter 33.1: Relapse assortment When I wake up in the carriage, I notice the sun shining through the window. Ragnorr, who is sitting on the other side, is probably arranging those pieces of paper to be sent when the bet ends. He won't notice if I move slowly, will he? I turn to the corner and groom myself, knowing that a blanket on top of me will be a perfect disguise for the sudden movement. "Are you awake, Mikhail? We're about to return to Saudade, so keep an eye on your appearance." Ragnorr sighs as he picks up those papers; it appears that he hasn't taken a break in a long time. "When did you notice?" I return the blanket to Ragnorr, kneading it into a square. "Your troubled expression, as if you were averting your gaze." Ragnorr opens his sub-space, easily bringing it inside and closing it. Fixing my appearance with 'illusio' I brush my hair to cover the bed hair from it to form the natural curl before straightening it to keep it manageable so that I can cut it whenever I f

33.2_Misconceived faulty
Chapter 33.2: Beneath one’s mercy----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------‘amplexus tenebrae’: An upgrade version of ‘mitis tenebrae’. Healing plunges one’s whole being into darkness, to be “reborn” in darkness; all vitality and injuries are healed at a fast rate (except for a fatal one). If used on light mana-based creatures (mostly angelic attributes), they will experience pain as if being ripped to shreds and make whole again; it will only cause mental damage since it is a healing spell.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Andromalius’s view]I go outside to settle down after hearing that monstrous fact about Mikhail. To have swallowed one's soul, I would not consider remorse, but rather justify such a feat with an unfazed façade. I'm not sure whether to call it frightening or impressive. I'll have to find the right words to describe their minds

34_Aristocracy testing
Chapter 34: Settling downI return to the office after putting Andromalius to bed. Walking through the ripped-out door...having the door ripped again raises my anxiety. So I won't have a door at my door office if this continues.I return with the stack of paper locks inside the desk's drawer. I see that it's been partially organized, with the most fluent writing ones to the most blurred ones. Let's start with the ones that are blurred."Lord Andromalius, please accept-" The butler stands in front of the office door, surprised to see it ripped open, as any normal person would be. Examine the door; he may have overlooked the surroundings.He keeps setting the tray of food down. "Well, your Majesty would be enraged if he saw this-." I cough to alert him to his obliviousness. “Ahem.”"Speaking of the devil. Why does your majesty still awake at this hour?" Jolting behind the butler, he nearly trips over the tray of food. His clumsiness gives a positive impact on what I'm about to face."W

Chapter 35: A foreigner's wish-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aura: Using the environment's mana to coat the user’s body or weapon, the physical attributes of the user are greatly amplified. Commonly used by physical attackers that utilize physical impact. However, when exposed to aura for a prolonged duration, the user can be either struck with mana addiction or mana dependence.“Dokueki style: Kurosupoizun”: [unknown] corrupt one’s soul to create a cross area of poison. Only used by Shin and “foreigner?”“Dokueki style: Mahisaseru”: [unknown] corrupt one’s soul to make a wave of paralyzing smoke, (there is a sound of thunder crackling). Only used by Shin and “foreigner?”-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After the show ends at dusk, in the moonless night, the words woven on the papers become a quantifiable kind of
