“The first magic contained is the seal . This is also the method I used to make Necator retreat. Even if you can cut through space, it is impossible to return to this world if you do not know the exact coordinates, so it is possible to neutralize one enemy.”

“It’s the magic you mentioned last time.”

Leon agreed to Grania’s words, but then one thing that bothered him occurred to him, so he opened his mouth.

“I don’t mean to interrogate you, but if it was a magic that could be used without consuming the circle, why didn’t you use it last time?”

It was indeed a reasonable question.

Necator, the second-ranking member of the Evil Church, is literally the core force.

If he had been sealed on the spot, the decisive battle in the imperial capital of Karelum would have been many times easier, and by the time the seal was released, most of the masters from all over the continent would have gathered to crush him.

Nevertheless, not doing so meant that there was a good reason.

“Hmm, I don’t have anything to say about that. The answer is simple. Because that amulet was always in the warehouse. “I should have taken care of it before I faced Necator.”

It was a mistake that I didn’t come out fully prepared because I didn’t expect Necator to come. Legendary artifacts were consumables whose value could not be calculated, so they were preserved in the center of subspace when they were not used.

Moreover, since there were five masters together, there was a sense of conceit that no one could lose.

Grania groaned with an expression of shame.

[Well, that’s not wrong.]

El Cid said harshly.

[If it weren’t for Edgar or something, he would have easily won. Unlike Kasim, that madman has low purity as a warrior. Not knowing the value of one’s life is the same as not being able to understand one aspect of martial arts.]

The purpose of martial arts is largely divided into two.

One thing is to defeat the enemy.

One thing is to protect one’s own body.

Necator excelled as a mortal enemy thanks to his innate nature and talent, but he was extremely unskilled in self-defense, as he could throw his own life like a stone on the side of the road.

Even Leon, who was a few numbers lower than him, felt at odds with his natural body, so a warrior of the same level would easily outmaneuver him.

“Okay, let’s move on.”

Grania explained the second spell.

“The second one is ‘Deceleration’. It is an 8th level magic that slows down time itself within a certain range, which is the exact opposite of acceleration magic. Since it doesn’t act on a single target, resistance is impossible. A transcendental person like a Grandmaster would not be affected at all.”

Leon thought for a moment and asked again.

“…The inability to specify a target means that it is impossible to distinguish between friends and enemies?”

“That’s accurate. “You have to be careful not to let your allies get caught up.”

It was one of the shortcomings of space-time magic.

Contrary to popular belief, acceleration magic such as Haste does not interfere with ‘time’. It simply strengthened the subject’s reflexes and physical abilities, making them faster than before.

Space-time magic that interfered with the world itself was a type that contained the risk that even the user could be caught up in it and that a single mistake could result in self-destruction.

“And the world’s pressure becomes more powerful as it exerts its power to go against the natural order. Also, acceleration is more difficult than deceleration. “For ‘Deceleration’, I could write for 5 minutes, but for ‘Acceleration’, it was difficult to even last more than 1 minute.”

“Oh, so the slowdown magic?”

“It’s the result of efficient thinking. “Whether I get faster or my opponent gets slower, the result is the same.”

As expected, Leon nodded his head once.

Up to this point, it was a legendary artifact.

So what is the third magic? Without realizing it, my expectant gaze rested on the amulet.

“Finally. Unlike the two previously explained, the third spell is strictly for offense. And you have to use it last, after using both spells.”

“Why?”

“This is because the explosion of the 8th level space-time magic begins from the point of manifestation of its power.”

Grania pointed to the jewel embedded in the exact center of the amulet.

“It’s this magic stone.”

Leon was astonished.

“Are you consuming a legendary artifact?!”

“It is rare to find a material that can handle 8th level magic more than three times. “I don’t know if it’s a record of Dragon Heart, but using a magic stone three times is a pretty good level.”

“But…!”

“Tools are ultimately made to be used. “It wouldn’t be a waste if I could give a blow to the people who made me like this.”

All drones beyond a certain level are quick-witted.

This was because there were many situations in which one could survive only by reading the weak signs and flow of the other person’s movements. Fighting is also about predicting the future and gaining insight into the enemy.

So Leon knew right away.

The anger in Grania’s gaze as she looked down at the amulet revealed that it was originally an item she had planned to pass down to her student.

“…I will gratefully accept it.”

When Leon curled his fingers and accepted the amulet, Grania, who only then looked away, nodded.

“Okay, write it well.”

The old wizard lowered his lighter eyelids.

While the gateway city of Portroy was busy recovering from the storm, the revolutionary army continued to advance north from the southern tip of the empire to the ecliptic Karelum.

Not a rebel.

The reason they called themselves a revolutionary army was because Ryan, the legitimate son of the Clyde Imperial Family, was their leader. Of course, only a few people knew about that fact.

Among them, Cedric was an exception among exceptions.

“Hmm, do I still have to go further? “It’s too far.”

When Cedric, who had his eyes closed on the horseback, opened his mouth, the murmur around him stopped and silence fell.

〈Sword Demon〉 Cedric.

He is a literal murderer who will kill anyone, noble or royal, if they offend him. The reactions of those who saw the essence of it while participating in several battles were consistent.

Fear.

A monster that doesn’t care about strategy and tactics and only aims to cut down more enemies.

“Because the land of the empire is large.”

Only Lian talked to him without being overwhelmed by his presence.

“But we’re almost there. “If you climb just two more hills, you will see the gateway city of Port Roy.”

“Is it a gateway city, a forward base for the imperial capital?”

“no.”

Ryan answered.

“Portroy is merely the entrance threshold to Karelum. Because the Imperial Capital itself had excellent defense capabilities, the gateway city specialized in its role as a transit point for transporting and sorting supplies.”

“Then it will be another trivial fight. “Though it was somewhat fun to fight with a sword on a boat.”

Not long ago, they not only chased away all the Hispanese troops who were looking for Golden Whale, but also occupied the fortress of Aurum.

He also discovered the trickery of the Hispania and Meril Maritime Alliance and used it to draw the Maritime Alliance’s forces into the fortress.

To the port of the fortress, where hundreds of modern cannons hang.

Just two hours were enough for the Maritime Union’s forces, which had gathered close to 200 ships, to melt away. The ships that turned around to escape were caught up and killed by Cedric, who was running on the water.

“Well, you never know. “There may be at least one Master stationed in the Gateway City for reconnaissance purposes.”

Cedric narrowed his eyes at Lian’s impulsiveness and said.

“Are you coaxing me?”

“I was just stating a hypothesis.”

“…You’ve become shameless. “The skin on your face might be a little tough.”

Cedric gave a cold look at those sly words, then looked back at the castle that was beginning to rise on the horizon.

It is a gateway city.

If Rian said it, it won’t be a difficult place to attack.

The revolutionary army had already succeeded in capturing nearby territories in the process of defeating the Hispanian army’s Meril Maritime Coalition. This is because the fact that they were able to block foreign forces while they were in the imperial capital increased their position.

As a result of repeating this several times, the power of the revolutionary army grew to a level that could not even be compared to the early days.

“I have no intention of continuing the siege for a long time.”

Eventually, Lian, who saw the same thing as Cedric, spoke.

“There are no conditions to make a catapult in Chungcha either. “We will quickly open the gates, take control of the gateway city, and begin preparations to attack the imperial capital beyond.”

“Way?”

“Break through head-on. “We will deploy elites, including Cedric and I, to destroy the castle gate and raid it overnight.” Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Cedric snorted and stroked the magic sword.

There was a buzzing feeling coming from the sword sheath containing it, as if it was happy that the battle was getting closer.

It was then.

“majesty!”

Chloe, who was a little behind the leader, came up next to Lian.

“What’s going on, Captain 4?”

“The reverberations of at least 7th rank magic have been detected in the direction of Portroy. “It is a sign that magic that covered the entire city was once unleashed and then destroyed.”

At those words, Lian and Cedric’s expressions changed completely.

Lian became expressionless and Cedric smiled darkly.

“It seems your prediction was correct. “It’s a shame he’s not a swordsman, but if he’s an archmage, cutting him to death would be fun.”

“It will take time.”

“I can’t help it. There is nothing more difficult to deal with than a magician locked in a camp. “A hedgehog that acts like a mole is of poor quality.”

Cedric, who knew that he was a difficult enemy but was even more happy because of it, fiddled with the hilt of his sword.

He looked like he didn’t know what to do because he wanted to pull it out right away.

It is truly a ‘Sword Demon’.

Gilbert, who had followed without saying a word, opened his mouth.

“majesty! There are only two archmages of Clyde: Lord Edgar and Lord Grania. Either way, they are unlikely to be loyal to Emperor Guang. “How about trying to persuade him?”

“-Do you want to die?”

As I was getting excited, Cedric, covered in cold water, glared at me.

When the needle-thin flesh stabbed Gilbert, his heart stopped for a moment and only started beating again a few seconds later.

But Gilbert did not back down despite the threat.

“My role is to be loyal as Lian’s vassal. I will not retract this statement. Making the Archmage an ally is just killing him. “It should be clear which side will benefit.”

“I was so excited because I wanted to die. “Say one more word.”

Just as Gilbert’s lips were about to move, without Lian having time to stop him, Chloe screamed like a scream.

“majesty! Portroy!”

“hmm!?”

“Huh!?”

“Hoo?”

The people who followed her voice clearly showed their reactions.

It had to be that way.

“The inside of the castle is a mess. Was there a large-scale battle?”

Gilbert answered while shaking his head.

“Even so, the walls and gates are in good condition.”

“I don’t understand.”

“It seems there is no need for a siege.”

Lian thought for a moment.

It would have been a big deal if rebels from other regions had already occupied the gateway city or if the Fermat army had come down from the northern border.

To them, Clyde is evil in itself and will be hostile to Emperor Gwang and Lian without distinction. There was no room for compromise for those who wanted to take this opportunity to end the empire.

Even if they suggested joining hands just until the Emperor Guang was overthrown, it was clear that the bullshit would soon attack them and say they were dead.

“I don’t see any flags inside the castle. There is no visible force that can be called an army. “Is it possible that they have already advanced to Karelum?”

“It’s subtle. “The imperial capital’s outrageous defense capabilities are something all neighboring countries are aware of.”

“I have no choice but to go in.”

While the leaders who stopped the advance were discussing, Cedric, who went further alone, lowered his eyes.

‘Let me give it a try.’

There were still a few kilometers left, but that wasn’t a problem.

His 〈Auror Blade〉, which specialized in one point of cutting power, changed the sense of handling the power of Aura to be more detailed and compressed. If it spews out like a single thread, it can detect enemies beyond a distance of even kilometers.

Cedric, who spewed out dozens of Aurors from his horse, searched for signs wandering around Portroy.

and.

“…under!”

Three familiar and powerful presences and two unfamiliar and powerful presences. One was in a weakened state for some reason, but the fact that there were four was a happy miscalculation.

Blood boils.

Cedric, clutching the hilt of his sword, turned to Lian.

“In the end, we meet again like this.”

For Leon, an unfortunate encounter was coming again.
