It never occurred to Anthonius that he might run into Gistara and Abhiseva in Sofia. Furthermore, they were joined by the Romanov twins. In one of the old buildings on the outskirts of the city, the four of them were cleaning up the presence of shards of amethyst crystal. Gistara and the others were cleaning the amethyst crystal shards in the old structure, but they were also removing pieces of human bone that might have been involved in the recent witch killings in Terra.

As the team leader, Anthonius questioned Gistara, "Who sent the report?"

"A local farmer. He unintentionally discovered his missing calf while searching for it." Gistara said in horror, "There were only fragments of unfinished bones remaining."

"The victim is estimated to have died more than 3 months ago." According to Abhiseva, his or her body was discovered inside an old horse stable after being buried—or purposefully covered with dry straw.

Abhiseva reached into his coat pocket and removed two pieces of bone wrap

    Benedikt invited Anthonius to accompany him to the library so that he could look at certain documents that Meuz had requested after he had demonstrated the memory-summoning magic. Records of wars fought in Terra, more especially those fought in the Old District of Za'ud, are included in the documents. Once a military installation, the Za'ud District was transformed into a makeshift settlement for Terra's troops and their families because while training, the troops are unable to return to their homeland. Situated west of the Black Sea, the Za'ud District shares a northern boundary with the Afar Palace.The Za'ud District was formerly a battlefield and is now a military installation next to testing grounds and armament stores. An extremely unexpected incident occurred two months prior to the conclusion of the conflict between the supporters and the opposition, specifically those who favored the rule of the Earth God or Crystal, Zu. Zu's followers were cornered that day. The surviving Zu

  • Promise   10% probability

    It turns out that Rain Arrow, which is actually a form of non-spell magic and simple general magic that anybody can learn, has complexities that not everyone understands. 10% of the overall attack damage produced by the user is the fractional attack damage of Rain Arrow. The most dreaded kind of attack damage is fractional attack damage. Attack damage comes in three flavors: fractional, physical, and magical. Whereas magical attack types provide magical attack damage, physical attack types produce physical attack damage. Certain attacks don't always result in a single kind of harm. For instance, Zu is the only archer to perfect the Phoenix Arrow ability, a kind of magical attack that deals 85% fractional damage, with the remaining portion being physical damage.Whereas a standard shield may only survive physical attack damage, a magical barrier can only repel or withstand certain sorts of magical attack damage when in use. For this reason, a frontline guard must be able to build a pro

  • Promise   Only 0.3%!

    "4.8%?" Javier uttered those percentages. That statistic does not sit well with Javier. However, 0.3% for Anthonius is highly noteworthy. "We don't have a chance." Javier, who was also regretting himself, was frantic. Because he believed he was unable to assist his team when they needed it.It is true that any archer may alter the size of an arrow, but it is not as simple as flipping a hand. The amount of manna needed to compress the magical energy concentrated on making each arrow that will be launched or shot increases with the size of the magical arrow made by an archer wizard. The impact on the user increases with the amount of manna used in a single assault. The most frequent effects a sorcerer will encounter are diminished consciousness and loss of equilibrium.Javier approached the amethyst crystal fragment and carefully inspected each side of it. With the realization that the crystal was completely undamaged, Javier's desperation grew.As soon as Anthonius realized that the cr

    Anthonius's manna prevents him from utilizing teleportation magic to transport the entire core investigative team to the outside of Euhron City. Javier advised his brother to take Alyosha, the team's front-runner, first, with him and the other essential members of the investigative team following.Following Javier's advice, Anthonius went right away to the location that Dima had provided. The two of them had already reached the edge of Euhron City in ten seconds thanks to Anthonius' teleportation power. There was still silence in the morning air. As the ice crystals start to fall, the temperature abruptly lowers. This year's prolonged fall will soon give way to winter. The Mother River will be the sole river in Terra that flows year-round, as it has in past years, while the majority of the other rivers will freeze and have a thin layer of ice covering their surfaces.Mother River is one of Terra's oldest rivers, with the majority of it subterranean. Its water, which is as transparent

  • Promise   Examination

    The creature doesn't appear to be moving from its spot. Although the amethyst crystals that covered the creature's body were constantly eroding, the creature genuinely paid attention to Anthonius's Rain Arrow. Alyosha, who had successfully moved Anthonius's body away from their former battlefield, saw this but said nothing, staying hidden.Anthonius asked Alyosha, "Can you hide your magical power for as long as possible? The creature will target someone with the greatest magical power in this area.""I can." Alyosha instantly concealed his magic, though it might not last long."Even if you walk in front of it, as long as you don't have any magic, the creature won't be able to find you. We return to Fort Solfini right now. That is the nearest safe place we can reach." Anthonius advised Alyosha to go back to Fort Solfini."Are you sure?" Alyosha questioned doubtfully as he observed the creature that had only moments before attacked them. "I might not be able to face it. You and Dima hav

    Meuz had ordered Leah and Lazuardy Sword to create an illusion spell on the only mithril mine they had, but it seems that S-rank wizards are still quite difficult to deceive. They will soon know that the mine has actually been devastated. Of the 4 mines that existed, with 2 of them being the main mines, now only 1 mine is still operating. Anthonius even estimates that the last mine will not operate for long after the main mine is destroyed.After they arrived at the settlement located about 8 kilometers from Fort Solfini, Anthonius asked Alyosha to buy some travel supplies for them. At first, Alyosha was silent, as if he were dazed, even failing to respond to Anthonius's orders. The anxious Anthonius then invited Alyosha to rest at a simple eatery to regain their energy.…"How are you doing now?" Anthonius asked while handing a cup of warm tea to Alyosha. "You kept silent the whole journey. That makes me anxious. Let's take a break first!"Alyosha looked at Anthonius, but then he loo

    For a minute, Anthonius stopped and gazed at the young girl next to him. Abruptly, he recalled something. "Did you tell this child to hide his magical powers?" Anthonius said, turning to face Dima.With astonished looks on their faces, everyone turned to face Dima."That child? Hiding magical energy?" Dima returned the question to Anthonius. "Even before you all came, I was struggling to fight that creature on my own. How could I possibly have time to do that?!" Dima shot back at Anthonius.Anthonius was taken aback by Dima's response. Anthonius initially believed that Dima was the one requesting that the youngster they had saved conceal their magical abilities."Sweet little girl... who was with you before these two uncles arrived?" Vanity whispered. offering the girl a box of candy and encouraging her to share what she had gone through.The little girl was both afraid and perplexed.

    "Can we still continue this mission?" Anthonius was asked by Javier."We're going back to Filansia to have a face-to-face meeting with Meuz. We are waiting for more deaths to happen in order to gather bodies that we ought to have been able to save if we keep the current system in place. Because I cannot make a decision for this team, because the main investigative team has indeed been under the auspices of Meuz from the beginning." Anthonius made the choice to pull out and return the main investigating team to the City of Filanesia. They even disregarded a few of the victims' bodies that are currently waiting at the Charon River."Can I know what happened to the mithril mine?" Omar questioned, "Is what actually happened exactly like what we saw, or am I just having hallucinations? Did the mine collapse?""Isn't it obvious?!" Vanity answered. "The mine indeed will not last long. Since ten years ago, many people have anticipated that the mine would eventually be dismantled."Terra is al

    Finally, the much-anticipated morning has come. The city was shadowed by dark clouds that moved slowly. Shortly later, snow fell, causing the City of Filanesia's peaceful cobblestone streets to turn white. That morning, the air was really quiet. The city was obscured by thick clouds, making it difficult to see the morning sun. Meuz and Anthonius were walking toward the city gate in the midst of the quiet. They intended to travel to the region surrounding Rawa Breeze the next morning. Alyosha and Omar moved behind them to join the two. Meanwhile, Meuz's magical snow crystals are falling to cover Terra, and Dima's body is now blending with them.Today, Meuz purposefully produced snow that will last for a week.

They will be able to fend off unexpected attacks and anticipate Manji's unexpected arrival thanks to Dima's ability to sense magic up close. G

    Just as he was aiming his bow at the target, an archer stumbled. He passed out a bit later. In addition to asking the other archers to halt their training and take a short break, Javier rushed to his aid right away."We need a medical wizard; maybe an alchemist who can make a potion to replenish the reagent's mana rate would be fine too." One of the archers remarked, "Even though this magic is simple, it can drain our manna in just two to three attacks.""Alright," Javier said in response.Javier met Vanity by coincidence when he carried the previous archer, who had fainted, to Filanesia Hospital with the assistance of an archer. After escorting the previously unconscious archer to the treatment room, Vanity asked Javier to wait for her in the hospital lobby when she arrived. Shortly after Javier had been waiting, Vanity rushed over to him."What happened?" Still sporting blood-stained latex gloves, Vanity asked. She appears to have recently undergone emergency surgery."One archer fa

  • That Impossible Magic

    The entire office was astonished and perplexed when Javier Mareq arrived at the Crimson Knight headquarters in the city of Filanesia. Numerous Crimson Knights stationed in the city of Filanesia exchanged whispers and questions with one another. They wondered why their supreme general's younger brother had physically visited the headquarters.It has long been known by all Crimson Knight members that Javier's despair, brought on by the death of one of his subordinates and his close friend Erel, led to his assignment outside of Terra. Furthermore, the younger brother of the young general had twice turned down significant roles offered by Meuz in order to join his older brother in Crimson Knight as the deputy general and royal guard. Every time he was given a significant assignment, Javier would always tell his brother that he should be treated like any other soldier and sent to the Crimson Knight's outer guard outside of Terra. After Anthonius gave his approval, Javier Mareq was given a

  • The Sorcerer of a Thousand Years

    Among the seven great witches who have lived for over a millennium is Meuz. Compared to other wizards in Terra, Meuz has a higher maximum quantity of mana points because he has lived for an excessive amount of time. However, Meuz's magical barriers and shields deteriorate with age because he is a defensive magic specialist. However, a lot of wizards wonder how Meuz has kept his body in good condition for nearly a millennium. Many witches are curious about Meuz's appearance underneath the heavy cloak that covers every part of his body and the Orichalcum mask he always wears. What is the true appearance of Meuz?"Javier Mareq..., The presence of those crystals greatly disrupts the activities of the residents. I command you to minimize the side effects of the Rain Arrow, then gather the best archers in Terra and teach them how to apply the Rain Arrow by changing the size of the arrows so they can destroy the crystal shards and expedite the crystal-clearing process throughout Terra.

  • The time thief, and the deceiver of death. Antonnie Xander

    Many witches are still reluctant to interact with Tsabitha Youenha and Antonnie Xander, two alchemists who have been on the run in Terra for a long time. Although many rank S witches are reportedly close friends with both of them, these witches are unwilling to discuss their past. As they do with Tha's status, which is not all that different from Antonnie's, they act as though they are unaware of Antonnie's status as a Class 1 fugitive. The S-rank witches claim that dealing with Antonnie is equivalent to dealing with death; therefore, the problem with Zamman has nothing to do with their wish to avoid Tha or Antonnie.Children are frequently hired by Antonnie to labor for him. He used to do the same thing to Tha and Leah, who is currently Lazuardy Sword's highest general. Several decades ago, Leah and Tha were sold by Antonnie to Azalea to deal with a case. Azalea, the sole daughter of Naar, the king of hell, was even involved in this significant case. Azalea gave both orders to murder

    A guard came up to them. He said, "Excuse me, could you please show me your assignment letter and your identification cards?"Anthonius gave the officer their identification cards and duty letters right away, as did every member of the core investigating team. The gatekeeper ran to the guard position a bit later.Omar said, "Has something bad happened in the city?""Shut up, and stop asking me!" Dima's voice was sharp.Omar, who had been instructed to keep silent, simply pouted and gave Dima a displeased look. "This old man...!" complained Omar.Shortly afterward, the security guard who had asked for the witches' task permits and identity cards came back. As he gazed at the faces of every member of the core investigating team in front of him, his face appeared pale.As the guard handed Anthonius his duty permit, he said, "What has happened? Why has the city's security been tightened to this extent?" he continued."The Shadow-man was spotted roaming about the town square a few days ago
