400.

 

The Ajonia students who heard Ar’s howling transformed.

 

Not just them.

 

Crack-!

 

The transformed Shadow Lord, Kirin, flew at tremendous speed, severing the necks of the Hero Hunters.

 

Snap-

 

Kirin, who had torn out necks with his claws, cracked his knuckle joints.

 

Meanwhile.

 

He muttered while watching Chen Xia hunting the Hero Hunters.

 

Her graceful movements as she hunted the Hero Hunters caught his eye.

 

‘The princess has become able to shine even when stepping into darkness herself.’

 

As a shadow, he had seen countless heroes.

 

And Chen Xia’s appearance resembled those heroes.

 

‘By the way, that cat. She’s impressive.’

 

He didn’t know how she did it, but Ar’s howling granted the beastmen an effect like a full moon.

 

‘The world is certainly changing.’

 

For a long time.

 

Kirin, who had lived as a shadow, felt that fact clearly.

 

‘At the center of it would be Leo Flobe.’

 

The 2nd place student of Ajonia’s 2nd year.

 

Dion swung his massive greatsword fiercely.

 

Crash-!

 

“Huhahahat! Not bad!”

 

The Hero Hunter burst into laughter while blocking Dion’s greatsword.

 

But what was contained in that laughter was clear mockery.

 

“For a milk-smelling brat, that is!”

 

The Hero Hunter who had been cackling made a venomous expression.

 

“What’s the point of bragging about being Arron’s descendant? When you can’t even properly use the transformation ability that Arron left behind!”

 

At those words, Dion glared at the Hero Hunter with an expressionless face.

 

“Hey. Kid. Would we who use Arron’s transformation ability be Arron’s descendants? Or would you who cannot be Arron’s descendants?”

 

Watching the Hero Hunter who continued to mock him, Dion said.

 

“At least someone as vulgar-looking as you doesn’t seem to be Lord Arron’s descendant.”

 

“What?”

 

At Dion’s words, the Hero Hunter’s face hardened.

 

“This damn brat! I’ll kill you!”

 

The Hero Hunter, whose eyes went wild at taciturn Dion’s heavy words, bared his teeth and charged.

 

Dion clenched his fist.

 

‘A strong enemy… and with transformation ability on top of that.’

 

It was a burdensome opponent for the current Dion.

 

‘But I can’t retreat. Especially if the opponent is someone who defiles the hero’s name.’

 

It was when fighting spirit blazed in Dion’s eyes.

 

“Hooooooooooong!”

 

A howling sound echoed.

 

As if responding to it, Dion’s ears perked up.

 

At the same time, his heart began to beat.

 

Power began to overflow in his body.

 

Dion realized exactly what the change beginning in his body was.

 

‘Transformation?’

 

Dion made an astonished expression.

 

Not just Dion.

 

The Hero Hunter who had been facing Dion also widened his eyes.

 

“What the hell is this!”

 

Dion looked down at the golden aura occurring in his body.

 

It was identical to Arron’s aura described in the literature.

 

But another power dwelling in this aura.

 

‘Ar…!’

 

Dion clenched his fist.

 

‘I don’t know how she did it.’

 

Dion put strength into his hand.

 

‘Right now, I’ll execute the traitor before my eyes.’

 

Goooooo-!

 

Extraordinary fighting spirit burst forth from Dion’s body.

 

“This brat…!”

 

Sparks flashed in the Hero Hunter’s eyes.

 

“If you’re a kid, act like a kid!”

 

Crash-!

 

The Hero Hunter roared while emitting aura.

 

“Don’t attack adults and stay crushed!”

 

Crash crash crash crash! Thud thud thud thud-!

 

The aura bursting from the Hero Hunter’s sword struck Dion.

 

Thick dust rose and dirt poured down like rain.

 

“Acting tough without knowing how scary the world is, serves you right!”

 

It was when he curled his lips to mock Dion.

 

Whoosh-!

 

“…!”

 

Dion, covered in blood, approached right in front of the Hero Hunter through the dust.

 

Wounds that wouldn’t be strange even if he were near death.

 

But fighting spirit was still rippling in Dion’s eyes.

 

“What the hell… are those eyes…”

 

The Hero Hunter muttered as if he couldn’t accept it.

 

“What makes you so great that you glare with those arrogant eyes and attack! Stop it and break already!”

 

At Dion’s momentum of endlessly charging without breaking, the Hero Hunter became disgusted despite having overwhelming power over Dion.

 

At that outcry, Dion said.

 

“I cannot be broken by a traitor who already broke and ran away.”

 

Whoosh-!

 

Dion swung his greatsword.

 

“If I’ve received courage, I advance forward even if it means death.”

 

Crack-!

 

Dion’s sword severed the Hero Hunter’s neck.

 

“That is Lord Arron’s teaching that I learned!”

 

The Hero Hunter’s head flew through the sky and fell to the ground.

 

Thud-!

 

Dion coughed up blood and knelt down.

 

And he looked toward where Ar was.

 

“I don’t know how you did it, but… now you really seem like a hero’s successor.”

 

***

 

Crackle-!

 

Golden lightning swirled around Duran’s body.

 

With golden light flashing in his eyes, Duran charged at the massive mass of darkness.

 

In his hands was a two-handed sword.

 

Kwagagagak-!

 

Becoming a single massive bolt of lightning, Duran approached the darkness at tremendous speed.

 

Kwagagagagak-!

 

At that moment, a blade of darkness shot up like a shadow, flying toward Duran.

 

Ziiiiing-! Kwang-!

 

Just before the shadow struck Duran.

 

Magic flying from behind altered the shadow’s trajectory.

 

Juwen’s sniping magic.

 

That wasn’t all.

 

Jjeojeojeojeojeok-!

 

Chloe’s mentee, Betty’s ice magic caught the shadow.

 

Powerful magic from two first-year magic students.

 

However, the magic of the two giving their all barely managed to stop the dragon language magic.

 

But that was enough.

 

Flash-!

 

At tremendous speed, Duran slipped through that momentary gap and approached the main body.

 

Among the 2nd year Lumern students called the golden generation, Duran boasted the greatest speed.

 

Duran swung his sword with both hands.

 

Flash! Pababababababababat-!

 

Lightning-like brilliance erupted along with sparks flying in all directions.

 

Pababababababababat-!

 

Powerful firepower reminiscent of magic.

 

The darkness seemed to lose its strength in the intense light.

 

Duran’s sword cut through the darkness and pierced in.

 

But soon a blade erupting from the darkness tried to pierce through Duran.

 

Whoosh-!

 

But a gust of wind blew faster, snatching Duran away.

 

“I could have cut it down with just a little more.”

 

“Then you would have been skewered!”

 

“Wouldn’t it have worked if you had supported me a bit faster?”

 

“Do you think I’m someone who cleans up after you!”

 

Chelsea widened her eyes and shouted.

 

Duran snorted in response.

 

“Too slow.”

 

“I’ll throw you away!”

 

Chelsea ground her teeth.

 

Among the 2nd years, Chelsea was second to Duran in speed.

 

Although Avad was also a wind mage like Chelsea, being a traditional mage, he was inevitably slower than Chelsea, who was a combat mage.

 

But even such Chelsea was inevitably slower than Duran.

 

Kwaaaaaa-!

 

The shadow’s blade pursued Chelsea at high speed.

 

Seeing this, Chelsea snorted and raised her staff.

 

“Cyclone.”

 

Whioooooooo!

 

With high-speed chanting, Chelsea easily created high-level magic and blew away the shadow.

 

“Rafale.”

 

Chelsea completed another spell toward the shadow.

 

Kuwagagagagagagaga-!

 

A fierce gust enveloped the shadow.

 

Vacuum blades hidden within the gust tore the darkness apart.

 

Seeing this, Juwen gritted his teeth.

 

“We’re the same age…!”

 

Both Cyclone and Rafale.

 

These were high-level spells burdensome for ordinary mages.

 

She had completed such high-level magic with high-speed chanting.

 

At Lumern, a one-year difference is significant.

 

But even so, the fact that the stage where he and his peer stood was different by just one year was shocking.

 

Meanwhile.

 

Gooooooo-!

 

A wind incomparable to the one Chelsea had created blew in.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Not only that, but massive flames as well.

 

“Ready? Avad.”

 

“I hope you are, Selia.”

 

“As long as you’re ready, that’s enough.”

 

Selia snorted.

 

Watching such Selia, Avad smiled and released his magic.

 

“Tempest.”

 

Avad cast his unique magic.

 

Kwagagagagagagaga-!

 

Wind concentrated on Selia’s sword.

 

“Prominence.”

 

Rwallin’s wind and Jerdinger’s flames combined, blazing fiercely.

 

Squeezing out maximum firepower, Avad and Selia aimed at the darkness.

 

Flash! Whoooosh-!

 

The wind of magic power and flames of aura struck the shadow.

 

Kwaaaaaaaaa-!

 

Most of the shadow was blown away, revealing a human form.

 

But it wasn’t over.

 

Smolder smolder.

 

Dragon language magic activated again as pitch-black darkness surged up.

 

Then.

 

Kooooooo-!

 

A giant’s fist struck down from the void.

 

It was the fist of Titaum, the Progenitor of the Earth, Woreden’s pact maker.

 

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

 

The darkness distorted under the unimaginable attack.

 

But that wasn’t the end.

 

Jjeojeojeojeojeojeojeok-!

 

The ground began to freeze.

 

At the rear of the Lumern students.

 

There stood Chloe, her body wrapped in freezing magic power.

 

Terrifying magic power was swirling around her.

 

Currently, among the 2nd years, if considering pure ‘power’ alone, the strongest was Chloe, the purest mage.

 

Since the battle began.

 

She had been continuously chanting spells.

 

For a mage, time equals power.

 

Chloe’s blue eyes stared directly at the darkness.

 

The darkness also sensed that Chloe was dangerous and charged at her.

 

Kwak-!

 

Woreden pulled at the darkness.

 

The darkness that had been rushing toward Chloe hesitated at that brutal force.

 

But soon it spat out blades of darkness, aiming for Chloe.

 

“Block it!”

 

Chelsea shouted urgently.

 

What blocked the path of those dark blades were Aina, Havedon, and Shasha, who had been protecting Chloe in preparation for such an emergency.

 

Havedon used wind aura to stop the dark blades.

 

Shasha also blocked them using her summoned creatures.

 

But the dark blades split into multiple branches.

 

At that, Aina swung her sword.

 

Swoosh! Clang-clang-clang-clang-clang-!

 

Golden flashes flickered as she struck down the branching dark blades at tremendous speed.

 

It was truly jaw-dropping, amazing swordsmanship.

 

That brilliant swordwork momentarily stopped the dark blades.

 

Thunk-!

 

But soon, dark blades that even Aina couldn’t fully block aimed for Chloe.

 

Chloe, who had been concentrating with her eyes closed, opened them.

 

The moment a mage unleashes their firepower is like a moment of despair for enemies.

 

But conversely, until that moment, the mage is also in a defenseless state.

 

However, precisely because of that, Chloe had also prepared for emergencies.

 

Short-range spatial movement magic.

 

Of course, being unable to focus entirely on magic would reduce the spell’s power.

 

But enough mana had gathered to deal a sufficiently severe blow.

 

The moment Chloe was about to unleash her magic.

 

A silver flash struck down the dark blades.
