749.

Gooooo-

An ominous mana flowed out from Risinass.

The Seirun students who saw this wore tense expressions.

A great figure of the elves.

Separate from desecrating Luna, the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, they felt that the being before their eyes possessed extraordinary power.

“I don’t sense the unique aura of demons though?”

At Rea’s muttering, her 2nd year classmate Yoinya spoke with a tense voice.

“Recently, many demons with all sorts of dark magic characteristics have been appearing. Maybe he’s one of those demons?”

Among demons, there are those from whom the aura of dark magic cannot be felt.

Those whose dark magic characteristics specialize in stealth.

“For those kinds of demons, the atmosphere seems a bit different though?”

Rea wore a slightly suspicious expression.

“That person looks like he could sweep us away right now, doesn’t he?”

Demons who don’t emanate the gloomy and evil aura characteristic of dark magic are mostly deployed for covert missions.

They’re assigned missions to assassinate heroes and key figures.

As such, those who fight on the front lines of battles against demons knew well about demons with such characteristics.

But the one before their eyes had the momentum to sweep away the elves head-on, just as Rea said.

Kukagagagak-

When Risinass moved his hand, the surging black aura gouged the ground accordingly.

Rea and Yoinya gulped down dry saliva.

They strongly felt that if they were grazed by that, they wouldn’t even be able to collect their bones.

Seeing this, the Twina siblings stepped forward.

“Is it our turn to step up?”

“We’ll solidly protect the front, so don’t worry!”

Aris and Garin drew their weapons.

“Eiran! Help us!”

“Let’s fight against that demon!”

Watching the Seirun students who were completely mistaken, Eiran wore a flustered expression.

“Um, there! So that person is…”

When Eiran was about to tell the students the truth.

“Wait.”

Runia stopped Eiran.

“Don’t say anything for now.”

“Huh?”

“What do you think is the reason Risinass revealed himself before us?”

“Huh? Well…”

The greatest hero each person considers varies.

Most people choose a great hero of their own race as the greatest race.

Since great heroes were born for each race, it was natural in a way.

However, scholars who study the deeds of great heroes mostly called the King of Wisdom the greatest hero.

All great heroes possess mythical martial prowess.

But no matter how mythical their power, the Age of Calamity could never have been ended by individual strength alone.

However, it was none other than Risinass who made it possible by combining all the power of those five great heroes and drawing out strength beyond their limits.

The Erebos subjugation force.

The Arhi party was always led to victory because of the King of Wisdom’s command.

That’s not all.

Besides the great heroes, countless other heroes who stood against Tartaros.

It was also Risinass who united those heroes.

The pinnacle of all heroes who lived in that era.

“The King of Wisdom was also a selector of heroes.”

A selector of heroes who led all heroes, including the great heroes.

The reason such a Risinass stood before them was…

“This is a test.”

Runia clenched her fist tightly.

A hero selection test.

“You and I can’t help but notice, but I think it’s meaningful only if we show our true selves as much as possible.”

Runia clenched her fist tightly.

“I’ll gain recognition from Risinass too.”

Runia was already Luna’s acknowledged successor.

Not just Luna.

Leo also recognized Runia as Luna’s successor.

Runia herself took pride in this fact and was striving not to shame Luna’s name.

Even so…

“To be perfectly recognized… I should probably gain recognition from Risinass too.”

At those words, Eiran also gripped her sword tightly.

Luna’s image came to mind.

Even the image of Berkia, who had been Luna’s disciple.

Though she was frightened by Risinass’s menacing appearance.

She couldn’t back down.

“Yes.”

Eiran, who had been answering while steeling her resolve, shrank back again looking at Risinass emanating a fierce aura.

“Then he’s not… angry, right? He’s just pretending to be angry on purpose, right?”

“…”

At those words, Runia couldn’t bring herself to answer.

Berkia and Bihar had fought over who Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, should marry.

Berkia supported Luna.

Bihar supported Risinass.

Moreover, Risinass had deceived Leo into making a traditional dragon clan marriage contract.

Just from that, one could tell that the King of Wisdom’s feelings toward the Hero of the Beginning were no less than those of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.

“He’s probably angry.”

“No way…!”

Seeing Eiran’s terrified expression, Runia said.

“Are we in a position to be picky?! Please, like always!”

“Uuu…!”

Eiran stepped forward with sword and shield, wearing a tearful expression.

Though her face was filled with fear, her steps were unwavering.

***

Watching the Seirun students forming their formation to attack him, Risinass raised his hand.

Gooooooo-!

Risinass’s shadow swelled up as if it had a will of its own.

Kwagagagagagagang-!

The shadow struck at the three students in the vanguard: Eiran, Aris, and Garin.

An attack containing extraordinary power.

At that moment.

Eiran stepped forward.

Seeing this, Risinass’s eyes stirred.

‘She should know it’s not an attack she can block alone, shouldn’t she?’

At that moment.

Silver mana flowed out from Eiran’s body.

Silver mana that had taken the form of armor.

The silver mana that completed the armor’s form soon gathered on the sword as well.

Animus Armor.

Berkia’s unique magic passed down through the Ersarr Family.

And what took the form of a sword was the Animus Sword that Luna had created for Berkia.

Armor that protects body and mind from darkness, and a sword that cuts through darkness.

The dragon speech magic that Risinass had deployed now was Shadow Blade.

Though not magic made of dark mana, it was magic with darkness attributes.

Slash-!

Eiran’s sword cut through the shadow.

That wasn’t all.

She pushed away the shadow fragments with her shield.

‘She uses Erquint well.’

A glint appeared in Risinass’s eyes.

‘That shield was also made by Dweno.’

Risinass, who easily saw through the shield’s creator, curled up the corners of his mouth.

At that moment.

The Twina Siblings, who had instantly approached Risinass, gripped their weapons.

Star mana swirled from the fingertips of the magic swordsman siblings.

Seeing this, Risinass waved his hand.

The shadows that had been torn by Eiran became blades again and pressed the Twina Siblings.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Clang clang clang clang clang-!

Garin protects his younger sister Aris.

When an opening appeared, Aris quickly closed the distance with Risinass with nimble movements.

Risinass smiled broadly and swung his fist toward Aris.

Aris flinched and used protective magic.

‘Just a bare-handed attack with no energy! I’ll block and counterattack!’

Thud-!

However, Risinass’s fist mercilessly pierced through Aris’s barrier.

Aris’s mouth fell wide open.

‘What? Magic?’

Looking at the shocked Aris, Risinass said.

“Pure physical force can also destroy magic barriers. Remember that.”

Saying so, Risinass drove his fist into Aris’s abdomen.

Boom-!

“Aris!”

Seeing Aris get knocked back, Garin shouted urgently.

Risinass closed the distance to such Garin.

“Huh?!”

Before Garin could even respond, Risinass struck Garin’s chest with his palm.

Crash-!

Garin was also pushed back and rolled miserably on the ground.

The vanguard left alone.

Eiran’s body stiffened completely.

“You’re called Eiran, right?”

Risinass smiled brightly.

“You seem to know my identity?”

“It’s an honor to meet you.”

Eiran greeted awkwardly with a smile.

“Yeah, but Eiran. I have a favor to ask.”

“Wh, what kind…?”

“That lewd novel you write. Won’t you stop writing it?”

“Gasp! How did you know that…?”

Eiran was startled.

It was when Risinass smiled broadly looking at such Eiran.

“Combination magic complete!”

Rea’s voice was heard.

The mages in the rear had created powerful magic through magical formula combinations.

Rumble-!

Risinass admired the star magic flying toward him.

“Amazing. To complete magic by weaving magical formulas together… Luna would have been delighted to see this.”

Risinass smiled broadly and raised his finger upward.

Whoosh-!

The shadow spread wide and swallowed the combination magic created by the Seirun students.

“But I don’t need it, so I’ll return it.”

The star magic that had been absorbed bounced back toward the students who had deployed the combination magic in the rear.

“Aaaahhhhh!”

“D, dodge!”

Crash-!

The Seirun students who were instantly neutralized rolled on the ground.

Only Runia and Eiran remained standing.

Looking at Risinass who was smiling cheerfully, Eiran made a tearful face.

“Are, are you angry?”

“Oh my? Why would I be angry?”

“Uuuuu…”

Eiran made a terrified expression.

It was true that he was pissed off.

But that didn’t mean he intended to take out his anger on the children before him.

‘The one who needs to be punished is that bitch Luna.’

Risinass gritted his teeth.

‘If I ever meet her, I really won’t let her off.’

It was when Risinass was growling lowly.

Whoosh-!

Flames blazed up.

Risinass’s gaze turned to Runia who was emitting flames.

Runia, whose hair had become white, was holding a pure white staff.

A staff named the Essence of White Flame.

It was a dedicated staff that Dweno had gifted to Runia.

Roar-!

Risinass and Runia’s eyes met.

Seeing those white flames, Risinass recalled someone.

‘Katariou.’

The last Phoenix King.

The pact maker who had sacrificed himself to protect Risinass at the final moment.

‘Did she inherit that child’s power?’

Roar-!

Looking at Runia who was gritting her teeth and staring at him, Risinass smiled broadly.

“I can see what kind of child you are.”

Step- Step-

“She’s just as reckless as Luna.”

As Risinass approached Runia, Eiran flinched and hurriedly stepped in front of Runia.

And blocked Risinass’s path.

“Indeed…”

Risinass let out an exclamation of admiration and grinned.

[Shall we test this out?]

Whooom-!

A bright light burst forth from Risinass’s body.

Kugagagagagagang-!

A beautiful and majestic black dragon revealed itself.

Runia and Eiran gasped.

Looking at the two elf girls, Risinass opened his mouth.

Flash! Kwagagagagagang-!

His breath attack engulfed the two elf girls.

***

Leo clutched his right chest.

His mana was fluctuating wildly.

‘He’s really going all out, isn’t he?’

Risinass was currently a spirit summoned by Leo’s power.

As such, the mana that Risinass used was borne by Leo, the summoner.

And the fact that this much mana was being consumed meant that Risinass was seriously engaged in battle.

‘Runia and Eiran must be beyond what I expected.’

With that thought, Leo chuckled softly.

‘Well, that’s how it should be.’

They were Luna’s successors, chosen by none other than himself.

If they couldn’t catch Risinass’s eye, he would be the one in trouble.

With that thought, Leo turned his head to look at the 2nd Prince’s army, which had become a battlefield.

The spirits who had been unjustly killed by Risinass were fighting against the knights.

The knights, who had initially been pushed back in terror, soon realized that the soldier spirits’ power was only at the level of ordinary soldiers and easily repelled them using their aura.

“Hmph! Even in death, lowlifes remain lowlifes!”

“How dare they try to harm us knights using such vile necromancy!”

The sneering knights unleashed their killing intent toward the soldiers.

“We don’t have time for this! While the Seirun students are fighting, we must advance and seize the city!”

Not only had the soldier spirits appeared, but a dragon was also blocking their path.

Morale had already fallen to rock bottom.

But the nobles and knights didn’t care.

“If any of you harbor insubordinate thoughts, speak up now! I’ll personally cut off your heads!”

The Royal Guard Captain shouted, infusing his voice with aura.

Most of the soldiers, who had been farmers, couldn’t help but be terrified.

“Advance! Give your lives for His Highness the 2nd Prince! Anyone who doesn’t advance will be considered a traitor!”

At the fierce Knight Captain’s cry, the soldiers began to advance.

Thud-

Leo blocked their path.

Shing-

Leo drew his sword.

Seeing this, one of the knights shouted.

“Another enemy!”

“Don’t let your guard down just because it’s one person! The 1st Princess’s faction must have allied with demons!”

“Soldiers, forward! Eliminate that vile enemy!”

The knights clamored.

Having already witnessed Risinass, an extraordinary enemy, they didn’t step forward themselves.

Instead, they tried to gauge Leo’s strength by sacrificing the soldiers.

The soldiers couldn’t resist the knights’ orders and gripped their weapons as they approached Leo.

Looking at these soldiers, Leo recalled a conversation he’d had with Arron long ago.

***

“You’re too soft, Arron. What would you do if a war broke out after we restored peace?”

“Huh? War? Why would there be war when Tartaros is gone?”

“Wars happen among ourselves too, you know?”

“That can’t be…!”

Arron wore an expression of disbelief.

During the Age of Calamity, there were common enemies like Erebos and Tartaros, so all races had no choice but to join forces.

For Arron, who was born in the Age of Calamity, the idea of races warring against each other was unimaginable.

Flustered, Arron said.

“I, I don’t want to kill people.”

“Is it easy to do that?”

“Pretty easy!”

“What?”

At those words, Arron brought a hundred soldiers guarding Gardstron to the training ground.

And he subdued all the soldiers without injuring them.

He hadn’t put in any special effort compared to usual.

Arron moved at his usual speed and used his usual strength.

But those struck by Arron’s sword were temporarily incapacitated without being wounded or injured.

It was swordsmanship skill bordering on the miraculous.

“How’s that? Easy, right?”

Arron looked at Kail with sparkling eyes.

Kail wore an expression of utter disbelief and asked Dweno, who had come to watch.

“Hey, pervert. Could you do something like that?”

“Do I look like I could? That’s an eccentric feat only possible because it’s Arron.”

It was a realm before it was even a technique.

A realm created by Arron, who didn’t want to cut down his enemies.

“Kail can do it too!”

“How do you even do something like that?”

“No! You definitely can! I can do it!”

Seeing his friend’s infinite faith, Kail at that time had merely clicked his tongue.

***

Glance- Leo looked at the students watching him from afar.

His gaze landed precisely where the Knight Department students were.

‘I’ll show you that such a realm exists in this world.’

Step-

Leo took a step forward.

And he recalled Arron, who had shown infinite faith in him.

‘Yes, you were right that I could do it.’

Leo burst into laughter.

‘It’s just that getting to this point was damn difficult.’
