613.

 

Late at night.

 

Chelsea looked at Tungken’s royal palace with anxious eyes.

 

Even though a long time had passed, there was no word from Leo and Selia.

 

‘They said time flows differently in the fairy’s domain.’

 

About half a day had passed since Leo entered the royal palace.

 

But Chelsea felt restless.

 

It wasn’t that she was worried about Leo.

 

No matter what anyone said, he was Kail, the Hero of the Beginning.

 

Even if he had invaded the fairy’s domain, Leo would surely be able to get through it.

 

The problem was the news that had come from Rodren.

 

‘Who on earth would do such a thing.’

 

Chelsea bit her lip.

 

News of Torua losing consciousness and Raina’s kidnapping.

 

Chelsea was worried about how Leo would react when he heard this news.

 

‘How could such a thing happen in the heart of Jerdinger’s territory?’

 

The place where Torua was located was a battlefield where rebels were present.

 

But the place where Raina was located was different.

 

A city that boasted security comparable to the Empire’s capital.

 

A major incident that occurred in Peion.

 

Moreover, the target was none other than Raina.

 

She was no longer a direct descendant of Jerdinger, nor was she a key figure.

 

Just the mistress of a noble family from a remote kingdom.

 

There was only one special thing about Raina.

 

The fact that she was Leo’s mother.

 

It was easy to see who they were targeting by kidnapping Raina.

 

‘Are they the traitors?’

 

Chelsea thought of the Hero Hunters.

 

‘Or another enemy from within?’

 

It was when Chelsea clenched her fist tightly.

 

Whoooosh-

 

A winter wind blew.

 

At that moment, Chelsea’s eyes turned sharp.

 

Swoosh-!

 

Chelsea drew her staff, turned around, and cast a spell.

 

Sharp wind blades wrapped around the person approaching Chelsea.

 

“Wow, same with Chloe. Are you really students who are about to become third-years?”

 

The opponent let out an exclamation.

 

“Anyas Beggs?”

 

The daughter of the Northern Mage Tower Lord, whom she had no close relationship with but had seen a few times before.

 

Looking at the half-elf Anyas, Chelsea showed a somewhat bewildered expression.

 

She was someone who shouldn’t be here.

 

Looking at such Chelsea, Anyas said.

 

“I came here because I have something to tell Leo. But since he’s absent now, I’ll tell you.”

 

“Why are you telling me?”

 

“Leo told me that if he was absent, I should tell Miss Rwallin.”

 

Anyas’s eyes curved.

 

Looking at Anyas like that, Chelsea was reminded of someone.

 

‘Aunt?’

 

The librarian of the Imperial Mage Library and the younger sister of the current head of the Rwallin family.

 

Cherna Rwallin.

 

Of course, that was her public identity, and in reality, she was the one who led the shadows of the Rwallin family.

 

In other words, she was Rwallin’s Shadow.

 

Chelsea didn’t know that fact.

 

But for some reason, she felt the same atmosphere from Anyas that she felt from her aunt.

 

Chelsea, who had been thinking of Cherna for a moment, shook off her distracting thoughts and asked.

 

“What’s the story you want to tell?”

 

“The identity of those who kidnapped Lady Raina and those involved in the incident.”

 

“Who are they?”

 

Chelsea’s face hardened instantly.

 

Looking at such Chelsea, Anyas said.

 

“It’s the Hero Slayer. And those suspected of being collaborators in the incident are…”

 

Anyas trailed off and then sighed.

 

“Jerdinger’s Council of Elders.”

 

At those words, Chelsea’s eyes widened.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Rumble rumble rumble-

 

The royal palace began to shake.

 

Chelsea and Anyas, both of them turned their heads toward the royal palace with surprised eyes.

 

***

 

Whoosh-!

 

Leo dodged the blue flames flickering before his eyes.

 

‘The power of Istar the Purification Spirit.’

 

Certainly, Selia was enhanced in every aspect.

 

Not only the firepower of the flames but also strength and speed.

 

Crash-!

 

When Selia struck the ground with her sword, a massive tidal wave of flames crashed down.

 

Leo dodged it and then said.

 

“But you’ve only gotten stronger.”

 

Rather, her swordsmanship had regressed.

 

It had to be that way.

 

What need would a fairy have to train in swordsmanship?

 

She was simply swinging her sword.

 

“Rather, it’s far inferior to the original Selia.”

 

Whoosh-

 

Leo showed a bored expression as he dodged Selia’s sword trying to cut off his head.

 

And then…

 

Thwack-!

 

“Guhk?!”

 

He delivered an uppercut to Selia’s stomach.

 

Whiiiing! Crash crash crash-!

 

Selia flew away and crashed into the royal palace wall.

 

But Selia, protected by the Spirit Armor, seemed unharmed and sprang up from her position.

 

The gorgeous red dress emitted even more powerful flames.

 

Looking at Selia charging at him while emitting flames more powerful than before, Leo clenched and unclenched his fist.

 

Then he struck down at Selia’s head with his fist.

 

Crash crash crash!

 

Selia was driven into the ground.

 

Leo stepped on Selia’s back with his foot.

 

Crash-!

 

Selia’s body crashed straight through the floor and slammed into the lower level.

 

Seeing this, Larel made a flustered expression.

 

-L-Leo. Even so, isn’t attacking the unconscious Selia too excessively?

 

At Larel’s words, Leo spoke indifferently.

 

“That’s exactly why I’m attacking excessively.”

 

-What?

 

“I never taught her to easily give up control of her body.”

 

Leo looked at Selia with displeasure.

 

Since their first meeting, Selia had trained together with Leo.

 

Of course, he didn’t teach her swordsmanship or aura operation methods.

 

But he had guided her in combat know-how as well as stamina and mental strength.

 

Making sure she wasn’t lacking in any area.

 

For such a Selia to lose consciousness and surrender her body, even if it was to a Great Spirit, was unacceptable from Leo’s perspective.

 

“Ugh! She lacks grit!”

 

-B-but that’s not something that can be solved with grit…

 

Before Larel could stop him, Leo jumped down and leaped in front of Selia on the lower floor.

 

And seeing Selia getting up, he frowned.

 

“This won’t do at all. I think I’ve been too lenient in training her.”

 

At those words, Selia’s body, which was about to draw her sword, flinched and stopped.

 

“From now on, I’ll have to drill her more thoroughly.”

 

Selia’s body trembled.

 

“Don’t be… ridicu… lousssss!”

 

Flames of aura erupted from Selia’s body.

 

The crimson flames of Jerdinger drove out the blue flames.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Even the highest-grade spirit sword and dress were pushed back by Selia’s flames.

 

“When did you ever train me leniently! You always tormented me viciously! And what? You’ll drill me more thoroughly from now on? Are you even human!”

 

Selia even pointed at Leo while screaming angrily.

 

“Finally came to your senses.”

 

Leo, with his arms crossed, spoke indifferently.

 

“The very fact that your body was taken is proof that you’re lacking. To build grit, drilling is indeed the best method.”

 

“You know you sometimes look like a stubborn old-timer, right?!”

 

Selia shouted with an incredulous face, even stamping her feet.

 

Looking at such Selia, Leo said.

 

“But you know.”

 

“What!”

 

“Put some clothes on.”

 

“…?”

 

At those words, Selia looked down at her body with a puzzled expression.

 

And her face turned bright red against her pale skin.

 

“Wh-what is thisss!”

 

Seeing Selia crouch down while covering her body, Leo spoke dryly.

 

“It seems that dress burned all your clothes.”

 

“That perverted spirit! I’m going to kill it!”

 

Leo shook his head at Selia, whose eyes flashed with murderous intent, then took out clothes from his extradimensional space, handed them to Selia, and turned his head away.

 

Selia hurriedly put on the clothes and let out a deep sigh.

 

“By the way. What should we do about the Purification Spirit?”

 

Seeing Selia’s worried expression, Leo said.

 

“You don’t need to worry about that.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Just as Selia made a puzzled expression.

 

Rummmmmble-

 

Suddenly the royal palace began to shake.

 

Selia made a bewildered expression.

 

“What’s happening?”

 

“The Spirit Realm is collapsing.”

 

This place wasn’t simply a royal palace but a space connected to Ista, the Purification Spirit.

 

If such an Ista suddenly lost control of this place, it would collapse.

 

“Wh-what do we do? Shouldn’t we escape?”

 

“Since it’s a Spirit Realm, escaping would actually be harder. Just stay put.”

 

“Just stay put! What if we get caught up in the collapse!”

 

“It’s just a building collapsing.”

 

“This huge royal palace is collapsing and you say ‘just’?!”

 

Leo sat calmly in a chair in one corner of the room as if asking what the problem was.

 

“This much won’t kill us.”

 

“Still! What if we get seriously injured!”

 

“How did I train you? Getting seriously injured from being caught up in this level of collapse? Then your training was insufficient.”

 

“Hey! You really!”

 

Craaaash-!

 

Selia, who had turned pale, screamed.

 

Eventually, Tengken’s Royal Palace collapsed.

 

***

 

“What happened?!”

 

Avad, who had rushed over urgently, looked at the collapsed royal palace with an incredulous expression.

 

Despite the massive royal palace collapsing, there was no damage to the surroundings.

 

Literally, only the royal palace had collapsed cleanly.

 

Rustle- rustle-

 

Then something stirred within the ruins of the royal palace.

 

Crash-!

 

“Really!”

 

Selia, who emerged from breaking through the pile of debris, made an incredulous expression.

 

“When a royal palace collapses, you should think about escaping! Where in the world is there someone who just gets buried because they won’t die!”

 

“Selia! Are you okay?”

 

“I’m fine…”

 

Selia made a flustered expression seeing Avad, who had rushed over and grabbed her shoulders, examining her from all angles.

 

Avad let out a sigh of relief.

 

“You’re safe.”

 

Though they had known each other for a long time, seeing this side of Avad for the first time, Selia awkwardly scratched her cheek and averted her gaze.

 

“Of course. I’m perfectly fine.”

 

“Where’s Leo?”

 

Chelsea approached urgently.

 

“Leo is…”

 

“He’s over there.”

 

It was none other than Anyas who answered instead.

 

“Who?”

 

“Anyas Beggs?”

 

At the sudden appearance of the half-elf, Selia made a puzzled expression while Avad made a bewildered one.

 

Anyas smiled at the two and discovered Leo sitting cross-legged on the highest point of the debris pile, then muttered.

 

“It’s like a throne.”

 

Leo’s appearance, sitting with a calm face, emanated an overwhelming sense of intimidation.

 

Meanwhile, Leo’s eyes saw Ista kneeling on the ground amidst the ruins, subdued by the highest-ranking fire spirits.

 

Elsi stood before him.

 

Alsia knelt before Elsi and spoke.

 

-Our new master.

 

-Master.

 

All the fire spirits in Ista’s domain were kneeling before Elsi.

 

Watching this scene, Larel wore an expression of disbelief.

 

-Good heavens… A Great Spirit of darkness dominating fire spirits…

 

How could such a thing be possible?

 

Leo chuckled softly as he watched this thrilling spectacle.

 

“Come to think of it, I seem to recall hearing that such beings existed in the distant ancient times.”

 

The most noble of spirits.

 

A legendary existence that ruled over all spirits.

 

A name forgotten in this era.

 

“Spiritlord.”

 

Looking at Elsi’s figure illuminated under the moonlight, memories of 5,000 years ago surfaced.

 

‘She dominated the Army of the Demon King and ultimately led an impossible battle to victory.’

 

But as the price for using such overwhelming power, Elsi had also perished.

 

Leo, who had been watching Elsi, rose from his seat.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Leo oppa!”

 

Chelsea came running with an urgent expression.

 

“Lady Raina! Lady Raina has been kidnapped!”

 

At those words, all expression vanished from Leo’s face.

 

Gooooooo-

 

Thud-

 

Chelsea, who had been approaching Leo, suddenly found her legs giving out and collapsed without realizing it.

 

It wasn’t just Chelsea.

 

Everyone in the vicinity drew in sharp breaths.

 

Swoooosh-

 

Wind blowing under the moonlight scattered his white hair.

 

A fierce light flashed in Leo’s red eyes.

 

“What did you say?”
