512.

 

Flash—

 

A beautiful and brilliant magic circle embroidered across the sky.

 

But unlike its beautiful appearance, the magic manifested was truly thrilling.

 

The bright light of dawn starlight captivated people’s eyes.

 

Kwagagagagagagagagagagang—!

 

A raging storm of magical power.

 

And the mages who recognized what that magic was widened their eyes.

 

“Terminus?”

 

“To cast this magic instantly without any warning…!”

 

“Just who is that!”

 

Star Magic Terminus.

 

In the magic of this era, no.

 

A magic that has firmly held the position of ‘strongest’ magic since 5,000 years ago during the Age of Calamity.

 

It was renowned as the ultimate of Star Magic and a magic symbolic of Luna herself.

 

And it was notorious for its extremely difficult usage that was proportional to its power.

 

After Seirun reorganized Star Magic and passed it down to future generations.

 

Users of Terminus had always made names for themselves as the greatest mages throughout history.

 

When the incantation of Terminus began, one could always feel vibrations of magical power that seemed to make the atmosphere boil.

 

But now there was none of that.

 

The mages could only be shocked at the magic that activated at high speed as if using activation formula magic.

 

Runia’s eyes widened.

 

‘She simply performed high-speed incantation quickly.’

 

She composed the technique and completed the spell in an instant.

 

High-speed incantation that any mage practices.

 

It was the most common of basics, but the fact that the magic completed that way was ‘Terminus’ was wondrous.

 

Runia gritted her teeth and watched Luna’s figure.

 

Gooooooo—!

 

Meanwhile, dark red murderous aura poured out from where Terminus had swept through.

 

Everyone swallowed their dry saliva.

 

They felt fear and pressure of a different caliber from Eljenie.

 

“That is… the Overlord King.”

 

One hero swallowed dry saliva and muttered at the aura of death that overwhelmed everyone present.

 

The true ruler of Tartaros.

 

The master of the undead legion.

 

Literally the worst existing calamity.

 

Everyone was gripped with terror.

 

Step—

 

When the Overlord King took one step, the heroes unconsciously stepped back one pace.

 

The surroundings corroded with his single step.

 

He didn’t threaten with force nor encroach upon the surroundings.

 

The very existence of the Overlord King itself was driving the surrounding space toward death.

 

Step—

 

When the Overlord King moved his steps once more, the heroes who had formed their formation retreated.

 

Only one elf stood with arms crossed, tilting her head sideways with a crooked expression.

 

“Who is that? That elf.”

 

“How can she be fine?”

 

When everyone wore bewildered expressions.

 

“Sister, you called that pretty lady Luna-nim, but is she really Luna-nim?”

 

Ruga, who was being protected by Runia, asked with a puzzled face.

 

At the innocent question of a child that suddenly rang out in the suffocating situation, people began to murmur.

 

“Luna-nim, you say?”

 

“Could it be…?”

 

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Luna’s back.

 

The recent miraculous events that had been continuing.

 

In such a situation, perhaps the Progenitor of the Starry Skies might have descended once again to save the world following the previous time?

 

But they couldn’t rashly believe the child’s words.

 

It was when everyone was focusing on Luna’s back with tense expressions.

 

“Meeting after 5,000 years truly brings back memories.”

 

It was none other than the Overlord King who broke the silence.

 

“Luna Rubinance.”

 

“Gasp!”

 

“What did the Overlord King just say…!”

 

Voices filled with shock could be heard among the heroes.

 

“Ahhh! You truly were Luna-nim!”

 

“Great Progenitor of the Starry Skies!”

 

“You have come again to save us!”

 

“To descend twice…!”

 

“The greatest among the great heroes!”

 

The elves knelt and offered prayers toward Luna’s back with reverent eyes.

 

Among them were elves who had fallen into blood purity ideology.

 

“You have truly been resurrected in this world again!”

 

At that moment, Luna’s ears perked up at one elf’s emotional murmuring, though she had been trying to ignore them.

 

Luna, who had been flapping her ears several times, lowered her head.

 

“Phew.”

 

And Luna, who took a deep breath, spread her palm toward the Overlord King.

 

Whoosh—!

 

The powerful gust that struck at that moment directly hit the Overlord King and Eljenie who was burning beside him.

 

Kwagagagagagagagang—!

 

The two legion commanders were swept away by Luna’s magic and flew straight to crash into the walls of Lumeria City.

 

Kugugugugung—!

 

Everything from where they stood to the city walls, including all the buildings, was swept away.

 

Since everyone had evacuated, there were no casualties.

 

“Ooooh!”

 

Everyone let out exclamations.

 

It was truly phenomenal magic.

 

“The legion commanders couldn’t even resist!”

 

“As expected of Luna-nim!”

 

“Progenitor of the Starry Skies!”

 

Several elves were busy praising Luna like believers who had met their god.

 

Swish—

 

Luna turned her body toward those elves.

 

People’s gazes were drawn to Luna’s appearance that even Dweno had praised.

 

As the perception-inhibiting magic was lifted, that overwhelming presence revealed itself.

 

Those who saw Luna exclaimed in admiration, forgetting the situation at the beauty of the real thing that couldn’t be captured in portraits.

 

Luna smiled brightly.

 

“Ahh!”

 

“Progenitor of the Starry Skies!”

 

The elves were even more busy praising Luna.

 

Tap—

 

Luna took steps toward them.

 

As Luna approached, the elves’ praise grew louder.

 

Tap- tap- tap tap tap tap ta ta ta ta tak-!

 

Luna’s steps, which had been slow at first, gradually quickened and soon she began sprinting at full speed.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Luna leaped into the air and delivered a drop kick to the face of the elf at the front who had been talking about ‘revival’.

 

“Kugh!”

 

“Ahhh! Revival? Revivaaaal? I’m already pissed off enough, are you mocking me now! You damn pointy-eared bastard!”

 

Everyone’s faces hardened at the sight of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies spitting out the worst of elven slurs while unleashing terrifying verbal and physical abuse.

 

They couldn’t tell if this situation was a dream or reality.

 

The Progenitor of the Starry Skies, who had been known for thousands of years as having a benevolent nature,

 

was now brutally trampling an elf who had been praising her with harsh words and kicks.

 

“And! You! You come here.”

 

“Huh huh huh? Kyaaaah?!”

 

Luna grabbed the hair of an elf woman who had been frozen beside her and yanked her over.

 

“I didn’t come to save you guys, okay? I just came! You handle your own affairs! I gave you Star Magic! My cute junior Seirun kindly explained it all, and that kid Ren from Lumern even made it into magic that everyone could learn! You guys should be responsible for your own era! Why are you sitting there happy thinking I came to help! Uwaaahhhhh!”

 

Luna, who had completely lost it, screamed and kicked the purist elves while cursing.

 

Everyone was shocked by Luna’s true nature that far exceeded their imagination.

 

“Lu, Luna-nim! Please calm down! Please calm yourself!”

 

“Uwaaaahhhhh!”

 

Runia frantically grabbed Luna to calm her down, and Roon burst into tears at that terrifying sight.

 

Rumble rumble rumble! Whoooosh-!

 

At that moment, a pillar of black flames shot up from one side of Lumeria’s walls.

 

Luna, who had been causing a ruckus, looked in that direction with crooked eyes, then soon snorted and straightened her clothes.

 

“Well then. Shall we go beat up those damn bones and kindling?”

 

Luna, who had devastated the purist elves, stepped forward.

 

Then the other Heroes hurriedly came forward.

 

“Luna-nim! We’ll help too!”

 

“Please leave the front lines to us!”

 

Looking at them, Luna shook her head.

 

“No, leave those things to me. You guys handle those two’s legions.”

 

“But, but…”

 

“For Luna-nim, who is a mage, to fight two legion commanders alone…”

 

“Don’t worry.”

 

Crack-

 

Luna cracked her knuckles and grinned wickedly.

 

Whooooo-!

 

“This isn’t a situation where I can control the power of my magic anyway.”

 

Luna smiled brightly.

 

“It would be big trouble if you got caught up in it.”

 

The Heroes gulped nervously at the magical power surrounding Luna.

 

“Roon.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Roon, who had stopped crying, sniffled as she answered.

 

Before she knew it, Roon was with her mother.

 

Luna approached Roon and pressed her nose with her finger as she spoke.

 

“You mustn’t become a stupid elf like those ones, okay?”

 

“Stupid elves?”

 

“Yes. You’re not great because you’re an elf.”

 

Luna smiled brightly.

 

“You’re great because you did great things, like your mother.”

 

“Ah… Luna-nim.”

 

Roon’s mother showed a moved expression.

 

Luna winked at her and walked away.

 

Having shaken off all lingering attachments, Luna had nothing to hold her back.

 

“Runia, from now on I’ll show you how I fight.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Runia showed a tense expression.

 

“Luna-nim’s combat lecture number one.”

 

Luna crossed her arms.

 

“Create a finishing move magic.”

 

“A, a finishing move?”

 

“Yes. In my case, that’s Terminus.”

 

Luna’s reason for creating Terminus was extremely simple.

 

She just needed an incredibly powerful finishing move-level magic.

 

“Number two. If there’s an opponent you really want to kill, don’t worry about collateral damage. Use each and every spell with killing intent.”

 

Runia showed a dumbfounded expression.

 

Luna grinned and waved her hand.

 

Flash- crackle crackle crackle!

 

Along with the sound of magical power resonating, five spells were woven in the air.

 

Magic completed in an instant.

 

Everyone who saw it widened their eyes.

 

“That spell formation is… Terminus?”

 

“Five Terminus spell formations in an instant…!”

 

Everyone was shocked as five tremendous spells that could each change the tide of battle were deployed.

 

Luna’s body floated gently in the air.

 

“Well then, shall we begin?”

 

Luna, with the corners of her mouth curled up, released her magic.

 

In the direction where the Overlord King and Eljenie had been blown away, Terminus magic caused massive explosions.

 

KABOOOOOOM-!

 

Luna, no longer worried about casualties, had nothing holding her back.

 

The clash between a Great Hero and legion commanders.

 

It was a tremendous battle that might destroy all of Lumeria City.

 

Of course, the main culprit causing the destruction was none other than Luna.

 

‘So what. It’s a world that became peaceful because of me, so they won’t complain about me destroying a city or two.’

 

Luna turned away from her guilty conscience.

 

Incidentally, just as Kail and Risinass were called by the derogatory names of surviving hero and fool, and Arron was called a coward,

 

Luna also had a similar nickname.

 

And that was.

 

***

 

“Needlessly flashy. Truly befitting the Destruction King.”

 

In front of the walls, the Overlord King calmly got to his feet.

 

Luna’s magic that had blown them to the walls seemed to have tremendous power at first glance, but in reality it hadn’t done any particular damage to the Overlord King and Blood Queen.

 

It was just flashy, with no substance.

 

‘Luna Rubinance must know that fact too. But why did she bother using such magic?’

 

It wasn’t to buy time either.

 

Given her personality, tremendous spells should have poured down the moment they met.

 

After thinking for a moment, the Overlord King cleanly gave up on understanding Luna.

 

They had spent long years as mortal enemies.

 

Risinass, Kail, Arron, Dweno.

 

Their thoughts could be glimpsed at a glance, but there was one being that could never be predicted, and that was Luna.

 

Having learned this fact through experience, the Overlord King did not waste his mental energy.

 

Even the mighty Overlord King could never imagine that she had used magic to get rid of him just to punish the younger generation she wanted to beat up.

 

Then the apocalypse poured down.

 

Watching it, the Overlord King let out a breath with a ‘hmm-‘.

 

“Overlord King! You might take a direct hit from that abominable magic.”

 

“I suppose so.”

 

“Please hurry and dodge…”

 

Grab-!

 

“Kuhek?”

 

The Overlord King reached out and seized Eljenie by the throat.

 

Then he forcibly dragged her and pulled her in front of himself.

 

Kwagagagagagagang-!

 

“Kieeeeeeek!”

 

Using Eljenie as a shield, the Overlord King fell into thought with a calm expression.

 

‘The appearance of Luna Rubinance. This is unexpected.’

 

The plan had gone awry.

 

‘Is she remaining in spirit form? It’s clearly a different feeling from last time and from Arron.’

 

The Overlord King grasped Luna’s situation at a glance.

 

‘If that’s the case… the limitations should be clear.’

 

Gooooooo-!

 

The Overlord King curled up the corners of his mouth and raised his hand.

 

Crackle-!

 

“O, Overlord King?”

 

“You’ve worked hard all this time, Blood Queen.”

 

Crunch-!

 

A skull extending from his hand devoured Eljenie and chewed her up.

 

Blood poured out.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Dark red flames bloomed in his hand, then soon transformed into black flames.

 

“It wouldn’t be bad to see a Great Hero fall miserably either.”

 

The Overlord King knows.

 

That the Great Heroes are symbols of peace.

 

And he knows better than anyone how terrifying those symbols are.

 

5,000 years.

 

For 5,000 years, people have revered and followed in the footsteps of those who don’t even exist.

 

Accordingly, countless heroes have emerged.

 

“Today, I’ll be able to kill one of those symbols.”
