Lord Seth considered himself that can rival Sia but still being defeated in the end is still a feat. So it is normal for him to set himself high above others but he didn’t become arrogant about it. He knew when to lie low and to stand tall. A powerful and experienced man like himself felt his heart waver and a tinge of fear slowly crept into his mind when he witnessed such a powerful spell and start to doubt himself.Captain Felix that is renowned and respected for his combat ability quickly ranks up due to his refined artificial core and is considered to be one of the most powerful in history totally felt scared and lost to a single magic spell.All the people who witness it felt their existence is so little that anytime they will die if the person responsible for this magic spell struck it again on a whim.But Jin who created such a magic spell was more stupefied than them all. He was utterly stupefied. He doesn’t know where to begin. Earlier he felt nothing but to crush his enemies
After what happened it seems I get leeway because the Ruel Empire didn’t send a follow-up attack on us. I have time to arrange things on my end and plan ahead.For sure, the old official is planning something and it should not be overlooked. As I leave them in the living room, I head to the room prepared for me.That spell I did is quite exhausting and use it as a reason to stop them from thinking too much.Being praised is enough but continuously receiving praises like I was some sort of buddha or god is uncomfortable.But the truth is I think I can still cast the same spell two more times.Before leaving, I reminded them to be vigilant. It is better to stay alert than sorry.This time, it was Robert and his subordinate along with Matt with his guild will be stationed outside the city. Bea’s subordinates are currently recuperating in the infirmary.At the same time, Celeste ordered two scouts to leave the city and look for her father. She provides the location where her father set of
After settling everything, Lord Seth asks his servants to put on his armor.His armor is specially made for him. The design is exquisite but not to flashy befit his demeanor. But what is really special in his armor is because the rune magic was endowed with it using the refined artificial demon core.During the first trial of making an artificial demon core, they tried to use rune magic with the teaching of the demon race using the artificial demon core as an alternative to earth affinity.They learned that making weapons and armor endowed with rune magic is possible. They have all the necessary ingredients to make it but they lack one ingredient, the earth attribute.Magician with earth attribute is so rare but with the help of demon delegations, they can use the artificial demon core as an alternative to earth attributes but the quality will be lessened which is considered an inferior prototype to the normal process of endowing magic rune to weapons and armor.It is still better tha
After receiving orders from their Master, they leave the tent and gathered all the knights and magicians around, and make a formation befitting their rank.Seeing his two disciples leave, Lord Seth made a pained expression. He cannot bear to tell his disciples about the doubt he started to feel before leaving the Ruel Empire.He started to doubt not his loyalty to the empire but to the Emperor himself.Years ago, during a peaceful talk with the Emperor. A sudden change in the atmosphere occurs and a mist of white smoke appeared and slowly emits a pure white light.The sight of white smoke emitting a pure white light is so majestic and holy that he mistook is a sign of prosperity in the Ruel Empire. But after a couple of seconds, amidst the pure white light, there is something in its aura that made his instinct to defend himself from it.In this instance, a sudden urge rise in his mind to warn the emperor to keep him from harm’s way. But once his gaze fell on the emperor, he was shocke
Everything is going smoothly but a sudden change happens when the Vitalis Kingdom invites a higher-rank demon.They become agitated and mad and want to destroy the Vitalis kingdom instantly but when they heard their reason, they reluctantly set it aside for now and to include the demon race in their plan.They will know that this secret meeting is considered treachery by humankind. But they have no choice, the power of the Ruel Empire and the Vitalis Kingdom combined barely hold off the demon beasts that starting to destroy their southern territory.The emperor decided to tell everything once a concrete plan was laid.But as the continuous secret meeting progressed, the choice of the emperor is getting thin until he has no choice but to agree.Because one day, when the southern wall was in the midst of collapsing, the higher rank demon together with its small soldiers hold off the demon beasts and give time to the Ruel Empire an amount of time to repair and strengthen their walls agai
A servant panting like he run a hundred miles without stopping. His body is slumped flatly on the ground just outside the royal palace, and his chest is heaving up and down faster and faster.The knights surround him enough to give space for him to breathe. The magician quickly chants and casts a spell to relax his body and help him through his breathing.It is only after his breathing becomes normal again that the Captain guarding the gate of the royal palace starts to question him.“May I know what is so urgent resulting in you being in this pitiful state?”“I-I w-was…”The servant stuttered so he take a deep breath before continuing to speak.“I-I am a servant and a messenger under Lord Seth’s command. He sent me to inform the Emperor that the situation in Auburn City is dire and they needed assistance personally from the Emperor.”The servant relays the message in one breath.The Captain becomes agitated and quickly orders the knights to relay the message to the Royal Palace.The
Everyone inside the tent is agitated, the atmosphere is heavy and everyone’s brows are deeply furrowed.But it was Celeste who is restless and most affected, she is currently the highest in command which is officially known by their knights, magicians, and citizens. That is why it is normal that she is pacing back and forth.She just stopped when Bea calmed her down and told her to swiftly decide in a solemn tone.“Celeste calmed down. We need you to decide whether we heed his advice or not.”Celeste becomes more agitated. She wasn’t used to this kind of pressure and it was her first time deciding the city’s fate.A single mistake would lead to the destruction of the city.“But…” Celeste muttered but in the end heeded her advice. How did it come this?It happened two days ago. The rest of the Imperial Army decided to attack Auburn City. At first, they were at a stalemate. Their side is doing good, they keep the enemy at bay, and blocked every attack they throw at them.But suddenly, t
Everyone inside the city, mostly those in the rampart which includes the leaders and commander of the city were taken aback by how powerful the three consecutive magic attacks were.But what terrified them the most is the durability of their gate. Although some of it was destroyed, looking at it, the enemies still cannot infiltrate the city.They were dumbstruck by how durable their gate is. Even the walls are durable because they didn’t receive damage, even a single dent when the last magic attack collided on the gate.Everyone is in awe and terrified but those only in the upper echelons know the exact reason why the gate and walls are still intact.The rune magic is really terrifying.Although they are safe for the time being, it didn’t take to be smart to know how deadly the attack was earlier if their gate crumble down.Imagining beyond things without the protection of gate and walls send a shiver down their spine.Celeste and others were beyond thankful. If not for Jin’s knowledg
