545.

 

Leo looked up at Ulein floating in the sky.

 

Ulein raised his hand toward Leo.

 

“You seem quite relaxed?”

 

“Now I can take my time dealing with you.”

 

“Do you think that inferior being can stop Lady Berkia?”

 

“She’s a trustworthy disciple I’ve had my back to for a long time. Plus, those two have fought each other to death before, so no worries.”

 

“More incomprehensible nonsense.”

 

Ulein’s eyes turned cold.

 

“I showed you kindness, yet you rejected it, Leo Flobe.”

 

Whooom—!

 

Massive waves of mana rippled from his hands.

 

“I will no longer show you any mercy.”

 

Flash—!

 

Countless particles of light were generated in the sky.

 

Leo chuckled at the sight of the magic shining like stars in the night sky.

 

At that reaction, Ulein’s eyes twitched.

 

Boooooooo—!

 

The sound of a horn echoed from the other side of the city.

 

Ulein frowned and looked toward where the horn sound came from.

 

The sound came from none other than the entrance to the underground city.

 

At that reaction, Leo said.

 

“Looks like something’s happened.”

 

“It’s nothing important. It seems the slaves have planned some pathetic rebellion.”

 

As the city’s council leader, he had long noticed that those in the underground city were showing suspicious movements.

 

“It won’t mean much anyway.”

 

He pulled out a grotesquely shaped stone the size of a human face from extradimensional space.

 

The stone’s surface was carved with countless magic circles.

 

“A meteorite?”

 

“Your insight truly amazes me. As you said, this meteorite is a divine object that brought the blessing of stars to this land.”

 

The meteorite began emitting tremendous mana.

 

The mana alone distorted the space in the surrounding area.

 

“You called me a crude third-rate mage. I wonder if you still hold such absurd thoughts.”

 

“That’s exactly what I think.”

 

“Insolent.”

 

Ulein gritted his teeth as he watched Leo mock him.

 

But soon he curled up the corners of his mouth and looked down at Leo with arrogant eyes.

 

“Unlike you, I have a generous nature. This is my final gift to you, an excellent star mage. I’ll grant you your end with this great power.”p>

Ulein’s lips curved into an arc.

 

Along with that, countless fragments of light floating in the sky all poured down toward Leo at once.

 

It wasn’t anti-personnel magic.

 

It was wide-area destruction magic that could devastate vast regions.

 

That powerful magic was concentrated on a single person.

 

For anyone else, it would have been a desperate situation.

 

But Leo raised his hand with a relaxed expression even before that bundle of light.

 

“I’m not particularly generous by nature, but I’ll still show you mercy.”

 

Gray mana momentarily flickered in Leo’s red eyes.

 

“I’ll show you what Luna would have done if she were here facing you right now.”

 

Snap—!

 

He flicked his fingers.

 

KWAAAAAAAAAAANG—!

 

At that moment, the magic flying toward Leo exploded all at once in mid-air.

 

WHOOOOSH—!

 

“KRAAAAH!”

 

The aftermath of the explosion engulfed Ulein.

 

Since he had deployed a barrier, he could prevent fatal injuries, but he couldn’t avoid crashing straight down to the ground.

 

The meteorite that had been floating above his hand rolled on the ground.

 

Ulein looked up at Leo with shocked eyes.

 

He understood exactly what had happened to his magic just moments ago.

 

That’s why his mind was filled with chaos.

 

‘He intervened in another’s magic formula and modified the magic! That’s impossible!’

 

“What exactly are you…”

 

Thwack—!

 

“Guh?!”

 

Before Ulein could finish his question, Leo’s fist slammed into his face.

 

Ulein, who had rolled miserably on the ground, shouted with an enraged face.

 

“Such humiliation!”

 

Being hit by magic would be one thing.

 

For a mage, being beaten up like this was tremendous shame.

 

“I told you. I’d show you what Luna would have done if she were here.”

 

Leo grabbed the furious Ulein by the collar and lifted him up.

 

“If it had been Luna, she would have pounded your face with her fists until her anger was satisfied, you damn half-wit mage.”

 

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

 

“KRAAAAH!”

 

Leo turned Ulein’s face into a pulp.

 

Ulein, who had been continuously beaten, let out a roar and released his mana.

 

Leo neutralized that attack without batting an eye.

 

Smack—!

 

Leo’s fist crushed Ulein’s nose bridge.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Ulein, who was breathing roughly as if having trouble breathing, raised his hand.

 

‘Greater mana! If it’s more powerful mana!’

 

The meteorite that had been rolling on the ground in the distance flew toward Ulein.

 

Grab—!

 

Leo snatched the meteorite.

 

Seeing this, Ulein grinned wickedly.

 

“Foolish!”

 

PABABABABABABAT!

 

Enormous mana was released from the meteorite.

 

Leo, caught in that mana, applied force to his hand.

 

CRAAACK—!

 

“…!”

 

Ulein’s eyes widened as he saw cracks forming in the meteorite.

 

CRACK—!

 

The meteorite shattered to pieces in Leo’s hand and fell to the ground.

 

Seeing this, Ulein’s jaw dropped.

 

“The, the divine object…! The great history of Eldon…!”

 

Watching him speak with slurred pronunciation due to his crushed nose and express shock, Leo said.

 

“This mere pebble is this city’s history?”

 

Leo, who had scoffed, crumbled the remaining meteorite fragments in his hand and approached Ulein.

 

“How… How on earth! How did you break through the divine artifact protected by powerful magic…!”

 

“Because the magic is crude.”

 

Leo curled up the corner of his mouth.

 

“If we’re talking about precision, even the Seirun freshmen would be at a higher level.”

 

Ulein’s magic is complex.

 

But it wasn’t precise.

 

It wasn’t magic that activated through precisely interlocking formulas, but magic that forcibly activated complex spells through pure magical power.

 

“Your magic isn’t even complex. It’s just messy.”

 

Shoddy magic that’s only complex but lacks precision doesn’t work against a mage with an overwhelming skill difference.

 

Ulein knew this fact as well.

 

But…

 

‘How is that even possible!’

 

His body trembled.

 

‘Moreover, this person isn’t even a pure mage but an All-Class…’

 

Ulein’s eyes widened as he thought that far.

 

An All-Class following the Hero of the Beginning, Kail.

 

Added to that, unfathomable knowledge of star magic.

 

And…

 

‘This person called Berkia his disciple.’

 

Ulein’s body began to tremble.

 

“Could it be… could it be… the Hero of the Beginning… Kail?”

 

Leo didn’t deny that question.

 

He simply looked down at Ulein with a cold face.

 

Taking that as confirmation, Ulein asked as if screaming.

 

“Why! Why is this! You who know the Progenitor of the Starry Skies! You who learned magic from that person! Why do you deny us! Why won’t you acknowledge our legacy!”

 

Watching Ulein scream as if having a seizure, Leo’s head tilted sideways.

 

“You Pure Blood Society members are really strange. You act like you know Luna better than I do, even though you’ve never met her directly.”

 

The followers of the god who disappeared 5,000 years ago were like this too.

 

At Leo’s muttering, Ulein mumbled as if in a daze.

 

“If it were Lady Luna, she would have been different from you. If it were Lady Luna, surely…”

 

“Yeah, she would have been different from me. If it were Luna, she definitely would have had to crack each of your skulls one by one to be satisfied.”

 

He could clearly picture Luna going berserk, saying she’d burst heads while wildly swinging her staff.

 

Shing—!

 

Leo drew his sword.

 

“Since that Luna isn’t here, I have no choice but to take her place.”

 

A chilling murderous intent settled in Leo’s eyes.

 

“Now that I know how you’ve maintained your power, I will judge you as Luna’s representative.”

 

At Leo’s words, Ulein, who had turned pale, began to flee frantically.

 

“Templars! Templars!”

 

And he shouted, looking for the council’s knight order.

 

But despite his desperate cries, his loyal knights didn’t show themselves.

 

Whoooooosh—!

 

Leo saw white flames soaring high in his vision.

 

‘She’s overexerting herself again.’

 

He could see Runia blocking the Templars.

 

And that was clearly power far beyond her limits.

 

‘She’s grown a lot.’

 

Leo smiled slightly.

 

Runia was following in Luna’s footsteps, little by little.

 

Not just Runia.

 

Even Eiran, who was acting as a shield for Runia in the distance.

 

She was growing at tremendous speed.

 

“No! This can’t be happening…! I still… still! Everything I wanted…”

 

Thunk—!

 

“Gack?!”

 

Leo’s sword pierced Ulein’s throat.

 

Stab—! Splash—!

 

Blood spurted out as he pulled out the sword.

 

Ulein, who had been trembling, simply hung his head down.

 

‘This should be the end of the Pure Blood Society too.’

 

Through Seirun’s return and collusion with Tartaros, the Pure Blood Society’s power had visibly collapsed.

 

But because they had held such powerful authority, they still wielded strong influence even though their status had hit rock bottom.

 

But this was the end.

 

‘I don’t know exactly what’s in the basement, but judging from the magic he deployed, it probably doesn’t stray far from my expectations.’

 

The inhumane act of enslaving their own kind to drain their life force.

 

If it became known that they had done to their own race what would have gotten them expelled even if done to other races, this time the Pure Blood Society would truly be finished.

 

Leo moved his steps and approached Runia and Eiran.

 

At the front, Eiran was blocking the Templars.

 

Behind her, Runia was concentrating entirely on magical incantation.

 

Even though they were magic swordsmen, those who were obsessed only with learning star magic couldn’t surpass Eiran despite having superior magical power and aura.

 

They were overwhelmed by swordsmanship.

 

The mages in the rear had all their magic blocked by Runia’s [Yeonje].

 

Yeonje, a magic Luna created with the strongest flames in mind, was special.

 

It was one of the magics even Luna couldn’t complete, and among all of Luna’s magic, it was a top-tier spell that could be counted on one hand.

 

The star magic learned by the elves of Eldon is unstable.

 

At Seirun, they graft other magical concepts onto star magic to pursue their own unique star magic.

 

‘The star magic formulas passed down to later generations were unstable to begin with. No matter how you develop magic with just those formulas, any magic will ultimately just be an inferior version.’

 

From the Pure Blood Society’s perspective, it might be traditional and pure star magic.

 

But from the standpoint of using the real thing, it’s crude magic.

 

‘So it has no choice but to be devoured by Runia’s magic.’

 

No matter what anyone says, Runia is Luna’s official successor.

 

She’s the elf who carries on Luna’s will.

 

“You look like you’re having a hard time.”

 

“Leo?”

 

“Should I help?”

 

At Leo’s words, Runia snorted.

 

No matter how absolute the advantage in compatibility, the opponents weren’t to be underestimated either.

 

Both Runia and Eiran had already reached their limits.

 

“I don’t need it.”

 

“Oh? Why?”

 

“Because I can’t just keep receiving help and protection forever.”

 

Runia looked ahead.

 

“Just watch, we’re going to move forward. Move forward and!”

 

Runia shouted as if making a declaration.

 

“Stand behind your back!”

 

Leo’s eyes widened slightly.

 

‘Don’t worry anymore! From now on, this Lady Luna will!’

 

The image of someone who used to declare with a spirited voice came to mind.

 

‘Stand behind your back!’

 

The meaning of entrusting the front as a mage.

 

Moreover, that meant he would create countless miracles from behind them.

 

“That brat is saying arrogant things.”

 

“You called me a brat! This mister!”

 

Runia shouted indignantly.

 

Seeing her like that, Leo burst into laughter.

 

“I’ll be waiting.”

 

“Yeah! Wait for me!”

 

Runia shouted confidently in response to Leo’s words.

 

Leo turned his gaze away from Runia and looked at Berkia, who was fighting against Bihar.

 

‘These children are working hard to stand on the battlefield where you couldn’t stand, Berkia.’

 

Leo clenched his fist tightly as he watched his disciple writhing in agony.

 

‘So now, snap out of it and show an exemplary figure to the next generation, you damn disciple.’
