609.

 

Leo gazed at the tightly sealed entrance of the royal palace.

 

Behind Letin’s government office was connected to the entrance of the royal palace.

 

‘To be precise, it’s structured so you have to pass through the government office to enter the royal palace entrance. Are they protecting this royal palace?’

 

After the fall of the Tungken Kingdom, many of Tungken’s legacies lay dormant in this sealed royal palace.

 

For the Tusen Knight Order, who had long searched for Tungken’s royalty, protecting it was only natural.

 

“Hmm? Looking closely, I can clearly see the structure of the sealing technique?”

 

“It seems similar to spirit magic, yet different.”

 

Avad and Chelsea exclaimed “Oh! Oh!” in admiration as they examined the tightly closed palace gates from various angles.

 

Like true mages, they seemed curious about the magical technique constructed by spirits.

 

“Chloe would have gone crazy if she saw this.”

 

Leo chuckled at Chelsea’s muttering.

 

“She might have set up house here.”

 

Thinking of their friend with the greatest academic passion in the Magic Studies Department, Leo looked at Jis.

 

“Is the Purification Spirit inside this royal palace?”

 

“That’s correct, Lord Leo.”

 

After the fall of the Tungken Kingdom.

 

Ista, the Great Spirit of Fire, had also never shown herself.

 

It seemed she hadn’t come out of this royal palace since then.

 

Leo, who had been silently observing the magical technique sealing the palace entrance, narrowed his eyes.

 

Having finished his analysis to some degree, Leo muttered.

 

“It seems only those with qualifications can open it.”

 

“Qualifications?”

 

Selia tilted her head.

 

Hearing Leo’s words, Avad and Chelsea also quickly analyzed the magical technique.

 

“It seems like a magical technique related to bloodline?”

 

“Yeah. It looks like only those who carry the blood of the Tungken royal family can open it.”

 

Avad and Chelsea quickly analyzed the entire magical technique with the hint Leo provided.

 

Nodding at their words, Leo placed his hand on the iron-barred main gate of the royal palace.

 

Clank-!

 

At that moment, red chains that hadn’t been visible suddenly appeared.

 

Chains made of spirit power.

 

Seeing this, Jis muttered in surprise.

 

“This can’t be. The palace gates that hadn’t reacted for decades…!”

 

Jis looked at Leo with moved eyes.

 

‘As expected, Lord Leo must surely be the Tungken royalty we’ve been waiting for so long!’

 

While he was making an emotional expression.

 

Leo applied force to open the palace gates.

 

Clatter-!

 

The red chains were pulled taut.

 

‘It’s rejecting me?’

 

The palace seal had reacted to Leo’s hand but didn’t grant passage.

 

The palace entrance remained tightly closed by powerful spirit force.

 

Leo removed his hand from the gate and stepped back a few paces.

 

Chelsea approached with a flustered face.

 

“It won’t open?”

 

“No.”

 

“Why won’t it open? Are the conditions for breaking the seal different?”

 

“It seems the Purification Spirit is rejecting me.”

 

“Rejecting Leo oppa? Why?”

 

“I wouldn’t know.”

 

Chelsea glared at the gate with sullen eyes.

 

Then she grabbed the iron bars and started shaking them violently.

 

“Why are you rejecting Leo oppa!”

 

But unlike with Leo, the iron bars didn’t react at all.

 

“Whoa. Whoa.”

 

Avad put his hands under his sister’s armpits, lifted her up, and calmed her down.

 

Then he handed her to Leo.

 

Leo received Chelsea and set her down on the ground after she made a sulky expression, then patted her head.

 

“Well, there’s one reason I can guess for the rejection.”

 

“Huh? What’s that?”

 

Chelsea tilted her head.

 

“That is.”

 

Just as Leo was about to explain.

 

“Does it react to me too?”

 

Selia, who had been watching the situation from the side, grabbed the gate with interest.

 

At that moment.

 

Clank-

 

“Huh?”

 

Selia’s eyes widened as she saw red chains wrapped around her wrist without her knowing when.

 

“What is this?”

 

Just as she panicked and tried to remove the chains.

 

Whoosh-!

 

“Kyaah?!”

 

Selia was suddenly dragged into the royal palace.

 

“Selia!”

 

Avad summoned his staff from extradimensional space.

 

Whooooooo-!

 

Crash-!

 

Sharp, massive wind instantly sliced through the palace entrance.

 

Tremendous wind swept the surroundings as if a typhoon had struck.

 

Jis lowered his stance and tensed his body to avoid being swept away by the wind.

 

Chelsea stood in front of Leo to protect him from harm and controlled the wind.

 

“Chantless casting? Is such a thing possible?”

 

The power of the magic exceeded the level of an ordinary Lumern 2nd year student.

 

But more surprising than that was the magic activated without warning.

 

Chantless incantation.

 

It was a magical technique Luna had gifted to Avad.

 

Avad made an even more murderous expression as he looked at the unscratched palace gates.

 

Light blue mana rippled around him.

 

Seeing Avad truly angry, Leo said.

 

“Calm down, that’s not like you.”

 

At those words, Avad lowered his staff to the ground.

 

And took a deep breath.

 

“What’s going on? Why was Selia suddenly dragged away?”

 

When Chelsea asked in a panicked voice, Leo looked up at the royal palace.

 

“It seems the owner of this royal palace took her.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because Selia is also Tungken royalty. She has the qualifications to open the gate. I don’t know the reason she was dragged in though.”

 

Leo stood in front of the palace gates.

 

And narrowed his eyes.

 

‘I could forcibly break the seal, but.’

 

If he destroyed the seal with force, the surrounding damage would certainly be severe.

 

Leo, who had been staring at the seal for a moment, drew his sword.

 

Sring-

 

Avad made a puzzled expression upon seeing it.

 

‘A sword I’ve never seen before?’

 

It wasn’t the sword Leo usually used.

 

He knew that Leo wasn’t particular about swords.

 

Even so, he normally used high-quality weapons that ranked among famous swords.

 

But the sword he held now was an ordinary longsword that could be seen anywhere.

 

Posteritas.

 

The final weapon made by Dweno that had been sleeping within the jet-black cloak he received from Ris previously.

 

Leo’s eyes turned gray for an instant.

 

‘Bible.’

 

His unique magic.

 

Leo, who activated Bible, quickly analyzed the magic formula.

 

Along with that, a gray magic circle appeared on the sword’s surface.

 

“A dispel formula?”

 

Avad made a puzzled expression.

 

Leo swung his sword.

 

Sgak-!

 

The sword surging with gray mana cut through the entrance of the royal palace.

 

At that moment.

 

Clank-!

 

The palace door opened.

 

Leo’s eyes returned to their original color.

 

He had imbued the sword with dispel to sever the sealing formula.

 

At first glance, it seemed like a simple action, but it was actually an extremely complex process.

 

Sealing magic changes its formula arrangement pattern moment by moment to prevent being dismantled.

 

He calculated each one individually and created a dispel formula to break the magic formula in an instant, severing the sealing formula.

 

The result might be effective, but the process was inefficient.

 

Avad couldn’t even think of attempting to follow it.

 

‘Could Chloe follow this?’

 

Avad clicked his tongue inwardly.

 

“How did you do that?”

 

When Chelsea also asked in surprise, Leo pressed his throbbing temples and said.

 

“I just imitated a mage I know.”

 

“Ah…”

 

“There are many monsters in the world. When will I be able to meet one?”

 

“If the opportunity arises.”

 

Chelsea could immediately tell that the mage Leo mentioned was Luna.

 

Avad, who didn’t know this fact, simply marveled at how vast the world was.

 

“Now that the seal is broken, can we go in?”

 

Leo shook his head at Chelsea’s question.

 

“No. I didn’t completely destroy the seal. I just created a gap.”

 

“Ah. So only Leo oppa can pass through?”

 

“Right.”

 

Leo had the qualifications to open the seal and enter, but was rejected by Ista, the owner of the seal.

 

He had only removed that part from the seal’s conditions.

 

“I alone am enough.”

 

Leo looked at the palace entrance with slightly crooked eyes.

 

Seeing that expression, Avad smiled bitterly.

 

“I’m envious. You look like a knight going to rescue a princess.”

 

Looking at Avad, who was making a somehow resentful expression, Leo said.

 

“Selia isn’t a princess though.”

 

Leo’s Chelsea nodded enthusiastically, saying “Yes, yes!”

 

“If she gets captured, she’ll escape on her own and then some. So don’t worry too much, brother.”

 

“Right.”

 

Avad burst into bitter laughter at Chelsea’s words.

 

“Then I’ll be back.”

 

Leo entered the royal palace.

 

Watching that figure, Avad let out a deep sigh.

 

“You don’t need to worry too much. The Purification Spirit isn’t an evil spirit. Moreover, it wouldn’t harm the bloodline of Tengkon, who was its long-time pact maker.”

 

“That should be the case.”

 

Avad smiled slightly.

 

“Because if something happens, I won’t forgive even a Great Spirit.”

 

At those words, Jis was inwardly impressed.

 

‘Indeed, is this the next master of Rwallin?’

 

Though still young, he could feel an intimidating presence.

 

It was then.

 

“Young Master Leo! Miss Selia!”

 

The door from the government office opened and Niel came running urgently.

 

This was a place where only permitted individuals could enter.

 

When Niel suddenly entered such a place, Chelsea made a flustered expression.

 

Jis also realized something had happened and didn’t say anything particular about the entry.

 

“Leo and Selia just entered the royal palace. What’s wrong? Senior Niel.”

 

At Avad’s question, Marcell, who had followed Niel, said urgently.

 

“We just received contact from Jerdinger. Senior Torua, who was visiting Jerdinger as a guest… is said to be unconscious!”

 

“What?”

 

“Senior Torua?”

 

Avad and Chelsea’s eyes widened.

 

“That’s not all! Mrs. Flobe, Young Master Leo’s mother, has been kidnapped by an unidentified assailant!”

 

***

 

Sring-!

 

Seeing the red chains wrapped around her wrist and pulling her with tremendous force, Selia drew her sword.

 

Whoosh-!

 

The sword passed down as Jerdinger’s family treasure in Selia’s hand.

 

Flame Storm erupted with fierce flames.

 

Sgak!

 

With a sharp sound, she swung Flame Storm toward the chains.

 

Clang-!

 

But it bounced off without being cut.

 

At this, Selia gritted her teeth.

 

Gooooo! Whoooosh-!

 

A flaming aura that seemed like it would burn and cut anything that touched it burst forth from Selia’s body.

 

Selia’s red eyes blazed as if on fire.

 

Saaak-!

 

Selia’s sword energy concentrated at the sword tip cut through the chains.

 

In an instant, the force pulling Selia disappeared.

 

Selia felt herself floating in the void, steadied her posture, and landed on the ground.

 

Thud-!

 

She lifted her head and quickly checked her surroundings.

 

‘An audience hall?’

 

Selia’s eyes narrowed.

 

At that moment.

 

Clap- Clap- Clap-

 

“Indeed. When the blood of Jerdinger and the blood of Tengkon mix, does it produce such sparks?”

 

An arrogant voice accompanied the sound of applause.

 

Selia’s eyes widened as she looked toward where the voice came from.

 

There, she saw a man sitting on a throne.

 

The man had light blue hair that reached his waist and matching eyes, his entire body covered in tattoos.

 

His tanned, bronze skin like that of a southerner commanded attention.

 

He was tall with well-defined muscles throughout his body.

 

The problem was that he was shirtless.

 

Selia was flustered as she looked at the man grinning broadly.

 

‘What? What kind of pervert is this?’

 

Selia got up with an expression of disbelief.

 

“You’re Ista, the Purification Spirit, aren’t you?”

 

“That’s right, girl. Consider it an honor.”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

“At this very moment, you have been chosen by me.”

 

“Um, excuse me. I don’t have the talent to be a Spirit Mage.”

 

“That’s right. That part is very regrettable.”

 

Selia spoke while watching Ista stroke his chin.

 

“My cousin can also handle spirits, you know? He would be more suitable as your Pact Maker.”

 

“That bastard who first knocked on the palace doors?”

 

Ista’s face contorted.

 

Selia flinched at his reaction.

 

For some reason, this spirit was hostile toward Leo.

 

“Know this well, girl.”

 

Ista said irritably.

 

“I hate playboys most in this world.”
