Inside a command center just outside the wall of Auburn City, the two commander cannot calm their confused mind due to the information they just heard.It took them almost five minutes.“About that weapon endowed with rune magic, is it true? The empire has it?” Matt“Yes, the empire somehow discovered how to create a weapon endowed with rune magic.” Bea“Ehhh?!” Glenn exclaimed.Everyone ignores Glenn as Matt is more intrigued about how the Empire can pull it off.“If that is all true, our success nearly plummets to zero.” Matt“That is not correct. The emperor is not a fool to distribute the weapon endowed with rune magic to his entire forces. We believed, it is only selected. But we are still not certain how long the emperor can continue playing the role of his army in the current situation. If he was forced, he will surely distribute all the weapons endowed with rune magic he has to all his forces.” Bea“So everything is at stake on how we quickly kill the emperor huh. Is the emper
Under the silent moon, the empire’s army is in disarray. The remaining knights and head magicians are currently talking about what happened earlier which causes them great loss and what steps should be done moving forward. Several captains are in a heated argument.“What do we do?! We’ve been having this conversation for hours! I say we focus on our objective and destroy annihilate all the enemy’s forces and take hold of the City!”“Shut up! Didn’t you hear what was the real order? Do not attack at full force until further notice! Our main objective is to drain their strength because the emperor is still showing mercy for them.”“So we’ll let those bastards slide after stealing our supplies and use the explosives against us? Is that what you want?!”The heated argument continue until one of the captains who’s keeping silent since the meeting commenced slam the table which startled all the present individuals in the meeting.“Enough! All of you listen!!!”All the individuals present he
The new order from the emperor will arrive after two days while the official who occupies the position of Alistar will arrive tomorrow morning.Is it okay? Just to defend the camp and wait for further order?Felix spent the whole hour contemplating while receiving continuous news about the surprise attack of the enemy.He tried to calm himself whilst their enemy is having their time in a surprise attack.One of his adjutants enters the command center requesting his approval to grant the audience to the knight bringing the report about their supplies and the remaining numbers of their forces.The adjutant bows his head.“My Lord, the knight under the command of Captain Castelo is seeking your audience. He was here to bring a report about our supplies and the total number of our manpower.”“Okay. Let him in.”Felix simply replied.“As you wish My Lord.”The adjutant bowed once more and left to inform the knight that he can enter. It only took a couple of seconds before the knight enter
Felix is still patrolling the area and is always vigilant in his surroundings while still thinking about that accursed weapon.Halberd, Greith, reward, Cursed Weapon.Damn it! No matter how I try, I cannot still find an answer. When I asked Alistar before what is the reason behind about Greith as a volunteer. Alistar didn’t tell me any answer, he just looked right straight into my eyes and hesitated if he was going to give me an answer or not.In the end, it is I who told him not to give me an answer. He is now a higher official of the Ruel Empire and I understand that even as his friend, he cannot tell me everything due to his duty.And that is why it sucks being one of the higher officials of the empire.Anyway, I should focus right now that think of useless thoughts.Felix is on the way to the eastern border of camp when he heard a faint scream ahead. It is only one hundred fifty yards away from his current location.He didn’t waste any seconds as he use mana to strengthen his feet
Seven hundred yards away, Bea’s camp and her elite forces together with Robert’s elite forces are on standby.They are currently waiting for Robert to return.The plan is to attack the empire every four hours to keep them awake. Imagine the mental fatigue they will accumulate and in addition, Robert disguises and attack the empire deep in their camp.Robert’s real purpose is to get information from the enemy while slowly reducing their manpower.And now it’s been three hours since their first successful attack and Robert is still not here. Bea is already feeling troubled but she has to wait.If he is in danger, Robert will forcefully produce a powerful magic attack familiar to her and that signals them to rescue him.But she feels unpleasant, she doesn’t know how to respond. If she stealthily enters the enemy’s camp, there is a high probability she can be caught.Maybe he’s just taking his time? Or maybe he’s still not gathered enough important information which took him so long.Tsk.
She remembers she teared up when she first successfully released a twister just right after the magic circle was completed.It was then Robert caught her plumped on the ground while tears freely flow from her eyes. She remembers the face he makes. He was terrified seeing her cry. She cannot blame him, no one has ever seen her crying and it was his first time to see her cry.Then he asked her what’s the crying all about. It was then she revealed the proposal provided by Jin.Jin too at first didn’t know how humans can use magic without chanting. It was a hassle to think of a process but after her persistent almost begging. Jin told her he will think of something but he was not sure if it will be a success or not.And after two days during their travel to Auburn City, he thought of something which is more like a trailer and he taught it to Bea and promised her if she can do this, he will proceed to think of the next process.That’s when Bea saw how he magnificently do it. When he said t
“Clad, our head magician! Look! The twister is still there and the water you created. Instead of destroying the fire twisters, it seems to be combined with it!”Clad furrowed his brows and furiously look the knight who called him out.“What did you say?! My magic was swallowed up by the twisters?! It is impossible!” He roared angrilyAnd when he shifted his gaze from the knight to the twister.The staff he was holding almost fell to the ground as his grip on it loosen.“That’s impossible! No! This cannot be! I am one of the strongest and most proud magicians of the empire. How was your twister able to withstand my water affinity!” Clad angrily shouted.The old magician is so furious that his vein is visibly forming on his forehead. His face with full of wrinkles due to old age become distorted.He cannot believe his magic was defeated and absorbed by the twister, creating more of like a whirlpool but traveling in the land.If the twister then is swirling with fire that made the surrou
Every magician of the empire with water affinity starts to chant and releases their magic to a wave of water that Clad created hoping it would devour the twister.But all their efforts are for naught. The violent swirling of air is keep shredding apart the wave.Some of the magicians start to fall back until everyone followed, even every Captain present in the dire situation ordered everyone to fall back and get Captain Felix immediately to stop this woman.Even on the sounds of two opposing magic, Bea was able to hear order which made her smile.And then she looks at the beautiful yet violent twister which continuously pierces through and shreds apart the water she created and remembers what Jin told her before they continue to travel.Listen well Bea, you would not worry with your enemy with an affinity of fire. Because fire can be absorbed easily by your twister. What you should look out for is the enemy with water affinity.Your twister is a violently rotating column of air and ha
